Chapter Seventy-One: The Ancient Castle

Wind and sand in the sky.

At the northern end of the wilderness area of the United States.

"Really! Why are we coming to a place where birds don't! ”

In the wind and sand, there was a faint voice of a girl who was a little annoyed.

"Now, Blake, you have a word for you! You haven't spoken for almost half an hour! ”

The girl pulled the hood from her head, revealing a strand of blonde hair lying on her shoulder.

Beside her was a teenager in a black trench coat, and at this time they were all wearing windproof goggles, a kind of heavy goggles.

The young man's face was a little solemn, and he raised his right hand from his pocket, and his five fingers were parted, revealing a small instrument lying inside.

The screen of the delicate instrument was stained with grains of sand, but it was clear that a red pointer was pointing in the direction they were heading.

"It should be soon...... I said, Bell, can you just stop for a moment? Blake said with a wry smile on his helpless expression.

"Really, Blake, you guy! If you ignore me, why do you want to pull me over! The girl known as Bell pouted, with a "you are responsible for me" expression.

“…… Didn't you insist on coming along? Blake put the instrument away again, looked at the blonde girl, and said.

Bell's face stiffened, and then he said stiffly: "I'm too lazy to care about this kind of thing!" I can't watch you go on an adventure! ”

"I know, I know, thank you for your concern." Blake said with a smile, and then took another step forward, pushing forward against the wind and sand.

"Ah, really! I care so much about you in exchange for such a sentence! With a smile on his face, Bell chased after the teenager in front of him.

"Wait for me!"

In the wind and sand, the two slowly advanced, leaving a series of footprints in the desert, and quickly disappeared.

……………………

"Bell, have you noticed that the wind and sand are getting smaller?" Blake's steps grew lighter and brisker, and the sound of the wind in his ears gradually became quieter, he said with some joy.

"When, of course, I found out a long time ago!" Bell said.

The girl in green leaned closely behind the young man in black, leaning on Blake's thin body to shield herself from the wind and sand, of course, she didn't feel much about it.

"Ahh The young man in front of him suddenly stopped, and a sudden braking caused Bell to hit the boy headfirst on the back.

The boy was knocked to the ground, but the smile on his face could not be contained.

"Hahahaha! Look at that! Bel. He said.

"Why did you stop suddenly...... Bell looked at his fingers, and saw that the terrain in front of him had an unnatural protrusion, and he could faintly see the appearance of a majestic building.

Blake ripped off his hood and strode forward, Bell following close behind.

Soon, a corner of a half-ruined castle appeared in front of them.

The overall construction is made of stone bricks, which is very simple and majestic, and the colonnades are either erected on the ground or half buried in the wind and sand.

Straight into the eye is a tall temple gate, next to which are four stone statues with strange styles but faintly showing the vicissitudes of life.

Bell cheered and looked left and right, curiously touching the stone statues.

"These stone statues are all ancient Pokémon from the past, they are living fossils, if you touch them now, you will still have the possibility of waking up." Blake said.

Bell's face immediately changed, and he withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

"Really, you're probably lying to me again, aren't you?" Bell said suspiciously.

"Who knows this legend? When did I lie to you? Blake said angrily.

It would be a hassle to bring Bell to a place like this, he couldn't help but think.

He immediately walked to the temple gate: "Without further ado, let us go in." ”

Bell nodded, and followed him into the castle buried in yellow sand.

There is still a lot of mud and sand on the ground behind the temple gate, and it is impossible to see where the original ground is.

It was dark and visibility was low compared to the outside, so Blake pulled a torch out of his bag.

He frowned, and then took out the Poké Ball.

"Come out, fry the pig!"

"Coax!" A flaming pig jumped out of thin air, and a flame spewed into the torch from one mouth to another.

The "Crackling ......" torch was quickly lit.

"Good job, let's come back and rest first." Blake nodded, touched the pig's head, and took it back.

"Finally got in." He let out a long breath.

"Hey, Bell......" Blake turned his head to find a familiar face staring at him.

A chubby uncle looked at him with a mysterious look on his face, his face looking tired and pale in the light of the flames.

"You, you're not...... The owner of the gym in Canvas City, uh, what's it called? Blake said, looking around for Bell.

"I'm Boss Ju." The man reached out and snatched Blake's torch, then reached for a spot on the wall, igniting the fuel that hung on the wall, and suddenly the entire space on the upper level of the castle became visible.

Blake found Bell and pulled her to his side.

"I know what you're trying to say, the plasma cluster is down there, let's go." Boss Ju said.

Blake nodded, the purpose of his coming here was originally to be the black dragon corresponding to the white dragon Leshiram, Zekrom.

In any case, he had to stop the plasma from gaining the approval of another divine beast.

He was about to walk forward when he noticed that the terrain in front of him was faintly sinking, and the sand on the ground had become a little softer.

"I don't think I see any stairs leading up [below]?" He looked at Boss Ju who was smiling on the side, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Huh? Staircase? Jump into the sand in front of you and they'll send you down! Boss Ju laughed.

"Huh?! Really? Before Blake could speak, Bell screamed.

Blake gently squeezed her hand, nodded firmly at her, threw his coat to the side, and jumped straight into the sand in front of him.

His body was quickly swallowed up by quicksand and disappeared without a trace.

"Cloth, Blake!" Bell shouted.

"Go ahead, your little boyfriend is waiting for you down there." Boss Ju said with a smile on the side.

"......" Bell looked at the quicksand in front of him, remembering the look that Blake had given her just now, the fear in his eyes was a little less, and he also jumped into the sand pit.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared completely that Boss Ju on the side slowly put down the hands holding his chest, with a little disdain on his face.

"Once the girls are past Lori's age, they won't be cute at all......"

There was a flash of remembrance in his eyes.

"It's good that I have Tsuki-chan with me......"
