Chapter 396: Rhizome Fossils
The polymorph beast landed.
"Pap~"
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"
Like all first-time visitors, Alice asked.
Kashiwagi opened his mouth slightly, but after thinking about it, he smiled, "It's called Polymon, and it used to be called 3D Dragon, and it's a special kind of virtual Pokémon created by Dr. Akihabara from Kanto."
Because the vocabulary was forcibly translated into the Pokémon world language through Chinese and combined, Alice sounded a little strange.
It's not a big problem, though.
"Dragons? Is it a dragon-type Pokémon?"
"It can be."
"Yikes!!"
The dragon cancer girl flew to the polygonal beast and said in surprise, "There are so many kinds of dragon attribute children! But it's also cute! Like building blocks!"
"Smack!?"
The polymon looked at Alice, who was rubbing her head, and then looked at the trainer helplessly.
What's going on?
And what is a 3D dragon? When did I get that name?
Something isn't quite right!
"Haha......"
Kashiwagi couldn't help it, but he also explained the situation of the polymon carefully before Alice was completely wrong, causing the latter to look at him speechlessly.
"Childish!"
"Ahem, ahem, let's get down to business."
He coughed twice and said, "Now that we have figured out the rules, then we don't need to go head-to-head with those Pokémon statues, first use the teleportation of polymon to take away the luggage, and then we will go back to the first floor through the falling trap, and finally run out according to the door opened by the sandstorm." Isn't it easy?"
"Oooh!"
Alice nodded quickly with the two Pokémon.
Due to various reasons, the teleportation of the polymon could not cross too far in time and the distance that could not be seen, otherwise Kashiwagi and Alice could have waited for it directly at the exit location.
But even if you can't do that, the content of the plan can be called pediatric.
But the question is whether there will be some kind of annoying change in the middle, and whether it will be carried out smoothly......
Kashiwagi scrutinized Alice and the Axetooth Dragon, the latter two with blank expressions and question marks on their heads.
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine."
He decided to take a little more insurance, "Get ready."
"Do I need anything to prepare?"
"Of course, everything that can be prepared, such as the road map, mobile phone signal, and the timing of the opening, should be done in advance so that there will be no mistakes in actual action."
A string of nouns says Alice is dizzy.
Although she is not as stunned as Ash, she rarely makes this kind of careful planning, and usually only establishes a goal and then passes it recklessly.
For example, after seeing the sitting, I wanted to chase its back, so I came to the Hoenn area.
If you want to become stronger, challenge powerful dragon trainers and trainers everywhere.
So it was the first time she had experienced this kind of action that had been planned from beginning to end—
Doesn't feel bad yet?
It's just too troublesome, and she definitely won't be able to do it herself.
The other side.
Kashiwagi writes down the detailed plan in his sketchbook.
The previous agreement with the Great Steel Serpent was to call to remind him, and in order to ensure that it could open the door in time, he planned to call it when the polyester was moving.
So they fell all the way to the first floor and then around to the front of the door, and the time should be just right.
"That's the route, do you understand?"
Kashiwagi sketched out the road map in his sketchbook and said to Alice in front of him.
The latter glanced down at the sketchbook and nodded solemnly, "Understood!"
「…… Can you really understand it when you look at it backwards? And you've only looked at it, you've been looking at the polymon just now."
"I—I'm not stupid! One glance is enough!
I have a good sense of direction!"
"And you were walking in the opposite direction outside?"
"It's just a small mistake! Is it naïve to always hold on to a place? You're still an adult!"
"Okay, I'm wrong."
He didn't continue arguing with a twelve-year-old kid, and said, "Let's do it again, so it's safe to avoid mistakes."
Alice huffed in response.
Really, why assume that she will definitely get lost?
Although...... She had really forgotten the route at this point, but it was also a quarrel, and she had already memorized it!
The two returned to the staircase on the fourth floor and began the exercise non-stop.
And then.
Then Alice ran towards the wrong way, almost triggering a Pokémon statue, but luckily the axe-toothed dragon reacted quickly enough to find Kashiwagi standing still and grabbed her in time.
"Yikes!"
Alice, who had fallen off the ground due to inertia, quickly turned her head and immediately found Kashiwagi looking at her condescendingly with her gaze.
"Thirty centimeters further and you'll be able to trigger the trap, congratulations."
The latter applauded slightly.
「…… Woohoo."
Alice said in frustration, "I'm sorry~"
Seeing this, Kashiwagi didn't think about it anymore, "Since you don't know the route, then follow me and don't run alone."
She nodded quickly.
——
Formal action.
Kashiwagi held the phone that had been tuned to the call interface, and stood at the top of the stairs with Alice and the Axe Tooth Dragon waiting.
The polymon looked at the luggage in front of him, glanced at the situation around him, and finally landed on the trainer, and the two eyes met.
"Let's go!"
He gave the order and pressed his finger on the call button.
Backbite!
The polymon leaned down and grabbed the luggage, its block-like body shook violently, and suddenly disappeared in place and instantly appeared beside Alice.
The latter quickly took over the luggage, and the ground on the fourth floor began to shake, and the ancient armor and cradle lily stone statues poured out from all over the surrounding walls, reaching dozens in an instant!
But by this time, Kashiwagi and Alice had already turned around and slipped away, running towards the established drop trap.
"Angular!"
He shouted, and the polygol immediately turned into a hammer and flew over, smashing the cracked ground with a bang, allowing the two to jump smoothly.
The height of just four or five meters is really nothing to people in the Pokémon world.
The same is done on the second floor.
In less than two minutes, the two of them had already arrived in front of the "gate".
The door had not yet opened, but the sound of the wind and sand raging outside could be faintly heard, and it was not as eerily lonely as before.
"Whew~ They seem to be on the fourth floor."
Alice exhaled, staring up at the ceiling.
When she made the plan, she didn't have such an obvious feeling, but the actual action simply had an impact on her heart.
In other words, she came back alone to pick up her luggage, and most of the time she was still being chased by a large number of Pokémon statues, and she was lucky enough to run to the bottom in time.
At this time, not only did he distance himself from the Pokémon statues, but he was about to go out.
This is very incredible for Alice, who has always been exhausted.
It's amazing!
She looked at Kashiwagi with admiration in her eyes.
And if the latter knew what she was thinking at this moment, most of them would only think that how many unreliable people she had met could make her feel that such a cautious little plan was very powerful.
"The door is open!"
Kashiwagi shouted, causing Alice to come back to her senses quickly.
I saw that the originally solid earthen wall suddenly disintegrated into sand, turning into a portal that bloomed with dazzling white light.
The door is open.
Pokémon Stone ...... nowhere to be seen.
The two took one last look at the magical Tower of Phantoms and stepped out.
The white light in front of him flickered, and the yellow sand in the sky came into view, and on the high slope a little farther away was a large steel snake of the sandstorm maker, and when it saw the trainer coming out, it immediately stopped the rotation of the horizontal steel bone, and swam towards this side with a twist.
Alice beckoned happily, "Big—"
Suddenly.
With a strong sixth sense, she subconsciously turned her head and saw the huge Tower of Phantoms crumbling and shattering from above, and the sand and gravel in the sky fell like a wall.
Bang!
"Danger!"
Usually moving faster than she thought, she took a step, and even tried to grab Kashiwagi's hand, but there was no doubt that with the speed of her legs, she basically couldn't dodge.
"Hold on! Move at high speed! Gyro Ball!"
The urgent cry sounded, and she only felt that her arm was suddenly pulled onto something smooth, and then her body was suddenly dragged away by a huge force, and a silver light flashed in front of her, and a terrifying roar sounded in her ears again.
Boast!
Alice looked up and saw the giant steel snake spinning horizontally and shattering the sand and gravel that fell at them, and looking down, she found that her hand had grabbed the tail of the polymon at some point.
Kashiwagi, on the other hand, gripped the feet of the polymon with one hand, and the dart-like teeth of the axe-toothed dragon with the other.
The next moment.
They managed to get out of the realm of the collapse of the Tower of Phantoms, and the polymon flicked its tail like a drift and came to a halt on the high slope, and the two Pokémon that dragged it to the ground.
Thick smoke and dust rushed into the sky, but a silver shadow could be seen moving in it.
Both Kashiwagi and Alice let out a sigh of relief for the rest of their lives.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, thank you!"
The two checked each other's condition, such as whether they were injured or not.
The Tower of Phantoms collapsed too suddenly, and to be honest, Kashiwagi thought that after the fossil left, it would disappear again like in the game, but he didn't expect it to collapse directly.
Thankfully, there are great steel snakes and polymons.
"Isn't it getting better and better?"
He patted the sand on his hands and complimented the polymon.
"Pap~"
The polygonal beast swung its legs happily, and it didn't expect that the [high-speed movement] that he had learned by practicing his driving skills could actually be used to save the trainer, which was simply amazing.
The giant steel snake flew out of the smoke and dust, and it didn't seem to be harmed.
Less leaning.
The smoke and dust dissipate.
The two of them looked at the Phantom Tower, which had completely turned into a pile of yellow sand, and there was a strange emotion in their hearts that could not be described more or less, after all, they were still adventuring in it not long ago.
"Ah! Fossils!"
Alice suddenly remembered the reason why they had gone to great lengths to retrieve their luggage, and opened her backpack and took out the two fossils inside, "I'll give you a piece as agreed!" Take your pick!"
Kashiwagi turned his head to look and found that it was indeed a fossilized claw and rhizome like in the game.
It is well preserved, and there is no damage to the main body of the fossil.
He pulled out his phone and asked, "Mind if I ask a professional?"
"Professionals?"
"Well, I'm going to give it away."
Kashiwagi nodded, and with Alice's consent, he took pictures of the two fossils and sent them to Lyza, who was far away in Kanaz City.
There is no doubt that he intended to give the fossil as a gift to Daigo.
After all, he has always been cared for by this person, but he has not been able to give any substantial reward except for letting him study the Wishing Star.
I really can't make sense.
There is a way to exchange courtesies, even if you don't have any special plans for Dawu, giving something that the other party likes during the New Year's holidays will also help maintain and enhance the relationship.
Do what you like.
As for keeping it for yourself...... Honestly, instead of resurrecting a fossil
Pokémon are cultivated from scratch, so it is better to use the Pokémon clues you have accumulated earlier.
That's the Pokémon he was destined for.
The phone buzzed and vibrated to reveal Lysa's reply.
Ryza: '...... Don't tell me it's a fossil you found.'"
Kashiwagi: "Someone else found it, to be exact, but let me pick a random fossil. Which piece do you think is more suitable for Ohgo-san? I want to give it to him as a gift.'"
Lysa: "Ah—Arceus is above! How can there be a guy like you in the world with explosive luck points! It's only been a few days? Is it two weeks? Or a week? You've come across so many good things!'
The young researcher seemed to be "burned" by him, and began to brush the expression of the bleeding knife.
It's like a kryptonite mobile game player who hasn't shipped out of the deposit and suddenly receives the seal message of "Is this good to use in the new single draw".
Kashiwagi: "Ahem, Miss Ryza?"
Lyza: "Don't call me Miss Lyza! I don't deserve it! I don't deserve your LINE number, so I'll ......delete it right away."
Kashiwagi: "Don't don't, don't ...... The next time I encounter a good stone, can't I send it to you?"
This person has helped him identify things for so long for free, and he replies within a minute every time, and he should give a small gift.
Lysa: 'Really?'
Kashiwagi: "It's true."
Lysa: "That's good...... Wrong! You're showing off again, aren't you? What is it called to meet again next time! Do you think a good stone is a pebble picked up by the roadside?'
Kashiwagi: "I really didn't mean that, let's get down to business, which one is in better condition?"
Ryza: '...... The rhizome is the one on the left. The structure is intact and in perfect condition, and the shape is very good, which if it is seen by a knowledgeable fossil collector, it will be impossible to ask for tens of millions. When it hatches, it will be a tentacle lily, a kind of Pokémon that Daigo likes very much."
Kashiwagi: "Okay, thank you, there will be a good reward next time."
Lysa: "If the reward is to dry stones, I'll kill you, seriously."
Scary and scary.
He retrieved his phone and looked up to see Alice interacting with the Polymon and the Great Steelsnake.
Despite knowing that Polymon is not a Dragon-type Pokémon, the latter does not dislike it, but becomes more curious as Polymon shows its strength.
"That's what I want."
Kashiwagi picked up the rhizome fossil on the ground and shook it.
"Good~"
Without saying a word, Alice picked up another fossil and stuffed it into her bag.
It's getting late.
The two of them tossed and turned in the Phantom Tower for almost two hours, and if they didn't hurry up, they would inevitably have to sleep in the desert, which was by no means in Kashiwagi's plan.
"I'm going to the Pokémon Center in the south, what do you say? Where are you going next?"
He asked.
Alice looked left and right and sneered embarrassedly, "I'm going to go to Meteor Falls...... To tell you the truth, I got lost here chasing the desert dragonfly, and I don't know where to go."
"I don't know where to go if I have a mobile phone......
Kashiwagi was also speechless about the road idiot attribute of this product, "Then let's go to the Pokémon Center for the night first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Uh-huh!"
Alice nodded quickly.
