Chapter 53: The Legendary Stone

"Whew, it's really difficult!" Blake wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to the higher level of the Tower of Heaven.

It is said that Blake spent a morning rushing to the Tower of Heaven located on Road Seven, and used great strength to defeat the trainers along the way.

"Stomp ......" Blake stepped on the spiral staircase of the Tower of Heaven, and the reverberation felt a little strange to him.

So ethereal...... As if it could purify the soul......

Subconsciously, he glanced down the stairs.

On the ground below the ancient staircase are mostly tall and low graves, these are not human graves, these are all Pokémon graves.

Yes, Pokémon also grow old and die, just like humans, and in honor of those Pokémon who have been with them for many years, old trainers often bury them here so that their souls can rest in eternal peace.

After a few steps, a large wooden door appeared in front of Blake's eyes.

He put his hand on the door, and suddenly found that it was all covered in a thick layer of dust.

(No one has been here before?) So didn't I come to the top of the tower earlier than the Gym Master named Fenglu? )

"Squeak-" The door was slowly pushed under Blake's force.

"This little guy is really hurt......" Blake heard a faint sound from behind the door.

"Huh, huh??" Blake was puzzled, I was here first, why......

He pushed the door open with all his might, and found that behind it was a huge rooftop, surrounded by unobstructed wind, and the strong wind made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Ah, you're here, Blake." There was a hint of surprise in Fenglu's words: "I thought you wouldn't be here." ”

Blake felt that he was being despised and was a little speechless, and just as he was about to speak, he found a brown-haired Lori squatting next to Fenglu.

The girl seems to be treating the injured flying Pokémon she just mentioned at this time.

"Like Li! Satsuki, why are you here?! "Blake felt like there were so many surprises today that he felt numb.

"Oh, Moon, does he know you?" Fenglu asked Lori who was squatting on the ground with interest.

Satsuki was using the advanced healing spray to treat the flying Pokémon, and at this time she just let out a "hmm".

(…… What a loving trainer! Fenglu, who loves flying Pokémon, feels that her heart is happy.

At this time, Xiaoyue's every action seems to be so focused and serious in her eyes, it is simply a combination of simplicity and kindness!

(If Satsuki knew about such an idea, it is estimated that she would hold her stomach and laugh like a horse.) )

Satsuki also seemed to come back to her senses, and turned to Blake to say hello, "Hey, long time no see." ”

"Well, it's been a long time...... What the hell! What the hell is this...... How did you guys get up! Blake felt that he had too much to say, and he didn't know which one to choose.

"Clams? Of course, I flew up with a flying-type Pokémon! You don't really climb the stairs step by step, do you? The two women looked at him with the pity of a fool.

"Well, so that'......" Blake felt his IQ insulted again.

But there was still a question in his mind.

"Then again, Satsuki, why are you here?" Blake asked.

"Well...... "Satsuki glanced at Fenglu.

……………………

"In this way, I also noticed that a flying Pokémon fell on the top of the Tower of Heaven, so it came earlier than the wind dew." Blake nodded thoughtfully, this coincidence was reasonable.

Xiao Yue smiled shyly, but said disdainfully in her heart: "Cut, I'll tell you that Master Yue, I've been hanging around the tower for a few days?" ”

She carefully picked up the flying Pokémon and sent it high into the air.

The big bird flapped its wings and flew away quickly, leaving a few feathers flying in the air.

This moment seemed to freeze into a picture, and the brown-haired girl's look and movements were deeply imprinted in Fenglu's mind.

After seeing the Pokémon leave, Fenglu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to be not only powerful, but also have such a love for Pokémon, and the badge can be regarded as a good use in your hands." ”

"What? You've got a badge? Blake didn't expect Satsuki to move so fast that he was dumbfounded.

"Just a few days ago." In order not to discourage Blake's confidence, Satsuki replied carefully.

“…… I'll try even harder to catch up with you! Blake secretly strengthened his determination to increase his strength.

"You two put aside the affairs of the gym first, this is not only the place with the widest view of Fukiyoshi City, but the most important thing is that there is a bell here that 'can reflect people's hearts'." Fenglu looked at them thoughtfully, and suddenly said with a smile.

"[A bell that can reflect people's hearts]?" Blake chewed on the sentence carefully, a look of interest in his eyes.

"Let me try." He was eager to try.

Fenglu nodded, and turned sideways to move a stone staircase, and a delicate bell could be seen on the platform leading to the stone staircase.

Blake climbed the stone steps with some nervousness, overlooking the entire Fukiyoshi from a high vantage point, and felt a stirring in his heart.

He slowly approached the Bell of the Mind until the quaint bell hung in front of him. Blake tapped lightly with the back of his hand, and a melodious and majestic bell struck the hearts of the three through the wind.

"You ......" Fenglu was a little surprised, according to legend, if it wasn't for someone with good intentions to strike the bell, it wouldn't make a sound.

In fact, she rarely came here with nothing to do, and she was also skeptical of this legend.

"I can hear your heart...... You are strong at heart and on a path of self-pursuit. Fenglu said with some uncertainty.

Satsuki pouted secretly on the side.

Isn't it just a bell, this can pull the heart or something......

(Yue Ye is a revolutionary fighter of the proletariat, adheres to the great guidance of Marxist materialism, and does not eat the routine of your idealism!) )

Although Satsuki comforted herself so much in her heart, the bell at this time seemed to have a strange power, and it had been carrying Satsuki's thoughts all the time.

"Yue, would you like to give it a try?" Seemingly very satisfied with her explanation, Fenglu turned her head to look at Satsuki.

"Huh? I'll forget it. Xiao Yue waved her hand, panicked in her heart for no reason, and hurriedly excused herself.

"Why, don't you dare to face your own heart?" Faced with the girl's unexpected answer, Fenglu was a little strange.

"I ......" Xiaoyue is actually a little unhappy, she is the kind of person who is very agitated.

"Do you dare?"

"I ...... Dry! Satsuki scolded in a low voice, and then the young Satsuki realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Dare? Sure enough, it's you, Satsuki. In the whirring wind, seeing that Xiaoyue "agreed", Feng said with a smile.

"Well, something seems wrong...... Well, forget it. "Xiao Yue is no longer able to complain.

At the urging of Fenglu, Satsuki stood beside Blake.

She stared at the big clock, which looked full of age, and there was a panic in her heart for no reason.

From here, she can see a panoramic view of Fukiyoshi City, and at her feet, houses of different styles are displayed in front of her eyes.

(Is this the bell that can hear the heart?) Ring it, will I be able to know what is going on in my heart? )

A gust of wind blew against her clothes, and Satsuki's outgoing hand froze in the air.

The bits and pieces of her previous life suddenly flickered in front of her eyes like a marquee, and she only felt a tremor in her hand stretched out in the air.

(Isn't it true that I dare not face my own heart, as Fenglu said?) )

Satsuki's chaotic thoughts erupted in her mind, and the firm belief in her heart was a little shaken.

It's been three months since she came to the Pokémon world, and she's been on the move, like a tireless machine, without stopping for a moment.

She was afraid in her heart that she couldn't let go of the world she had before, the world that had been with her for more than twenty years, and when the novelty brought to her by the Pokémon world gradually faded, this feeling became even stronger.

At this point, the girl closed her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Blake noticed Satsuki's strange appearance and asked with concern.

"I ......" Satsuki felt that everything in front of her was real and illusory, and it had been her dream to enter the Pokémon world as a trainer without worries, and when the past dreams and the present reality were intertwined, a deep sense of frustration hit her heart.

"Master, why not give up the treatment?" At this moment, a clear female voice went straight to the depths of her heart.

"Rhett, the ideal I am after......" Satsuki muttered to herself, her voice ethereal.

Miraculously, the month of Hang'er Lang began to think about life.

"I don't know what your ideals are, but I only know one thing, what I see is reality."

"We die, we are born."

Red paused, secretly observing Satsuki's expression.

"I don't know what the world you used to be in...... But in fact, our mood is probably the same. ”

"We've all lost everything we once knew."

"But we've got something nice now, aren't we?" Red's voice lacked a sense of ridicule compared to the past, and it was obvious that the master's mood was very unstable now.

"We've fought together, and we'll do the same." Red's words weren't loud, but they were like a boost to Satsuki at this time.

The tendency of Lori to blacken gradually disappears, and the pupils regain focus.

"yes...... I don't care if it's ideal or real, what I want is for the world to work the way I want it to. Xiao Yue silently added in her heart.

"The old world or something, there is nothing to be nostalgic for a long time."

That's right, Lao Tzu is not single.

Lori looked at her certainly, and squeezed her hand into a fist and smashed it down on the bell.

For Liliai, for the sake of Pokémon, even if I let Lao Tzu go back, I won't go back! (In distant Alola, a blonde Lori staring at her brother suddenly sneezes.) )

An unprecedented sense of ease rippled in Satsuki's heart.

The "Knock ......" bell rang, and Lori's hand was swollen.

Satsuki felt the joy (stealing) joy (tax) coming from the Poké Ball.

Under the sound of the bell, the hearts of the three of them more or less resonated with a hint of resonance, and a mysterious and mysterious feeling floated to their hearts.

“…… It's an amazing bond with Pokémon. Fenglu shook her head and said.

"Boom!" Satsuki rubbed her fist, which was a little painful, and kicked the bell hard as if she were angry.

The "duang......" bell made a protest.

"Cut, it's hard." Satsuki pouted.

"That's not how the bell rings......" Blake whispered.

"I know! A sucker! ”

"Huh?" Blake looked confused.

————————————————

The lowest door of the Tower of Heaven was pushed open again, and the three of them walked out of it.

"Yue, you're such a strange trainer." Fenglu said with a smile.

"Hmph, each other." Satsuki said noncommittally, but her eyes noticed someone standing at the door who looked like a stone statue.

"Why are you again, N?" Blake, who was on the side, stared at the young man standing at the door and said in disbelief.

"......" N was silent and walked towards the Tower of Heaven.

"How's it going? Do you want to follow me? The little moon god whispered to N with a grimace.

"No...... I'm still going to stick to my path. N spoke very quickly, as if there was something about wanting to say something.

"That's a shame." Satsuki sighed.

N raised his eyes and glanced at Satsuki, and said, "I advise you to give up going against us, the plasma cluster will get pure white stones and pure black stones, and the power of the legendary Pokémon is not something you can imagine." ”

With that, he walked into the Tower of Heaven.

"Pure White Stone?" Satsuki didn't react at once.

"Pure White Stone and Pure Black Stone...... It is a necessary item to awaken the legendary Pokémon. Fenglu spoke, her eyes still fixed on the direction where N had disappeared.

"That's right." Satsuki reacted and pretended to know for the first time.

"Legendary Pokémon...... That's a long way off for me. Blake was a little shocked.

"Hehe, it's nothing unusual, I guess you'll have it in a while." Satsuki patted him on the shoulder.

"Huh, really?" Blake's eyes lit up.

"Fake, casually." Satsuki smiled.

She didn't want to be seen as a prophet.

Satsuki: Ah, I'm not doing it. I'm going back!
