"it!"

Kashiwagi sat up suddenly, slammed his head into the thick belly of the three dragons, and was forced to fall back.

"Huh!?"

The three dragons that had been hit hard in the abdomen quickly woke up, and then lowered their heads and looked at the trainer a little aggrieved, only to retract when they found that the trainer's attention was completely off on it.

The other Pokémon stepped forward when they heard the noise.

Kashiwagi rubbed his temples, still recalling everything he had just dreamed about, unwilling to let go of any details.

Luckily, the memory is clear, and I haven't forgotten it at all from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, this dream stopped at a crucial time, so it stands to reason that there should be something to come, right? Ghost Pokémon was stoned to death or something, it shouldn't be possible.

Ultimately.

The group of people in the dream are really reckless, how to use explosives well is a university question, not that you can stuff one kilogram here and two kilograms there, and you can just explode with a bang.

I'm not afraid to bury myself with explosives underground!

He stretched out his hand to soothe the big faces in front of him, and while saying that he was fine, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep, trying to continue the disconnected dream.

But after such a toss, I couldn't sleep.

He had just gotten up and walked outside.

It just so happened that Minoru Yama, who was wearing a protective suit and helmet, came from a distance, and when he saw him, he said:

"You're awake just in time, you're pretty much done underneath, and the rest of the preparation is being strengthened as you push in. The terrain of the underlying mine is complex, so you have to pay attention to safety. ”

"Wait a minute." Kashiwagi took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know the reason why the Ground Floor Arena is closed?" ”

Shan Minoru was puzzled and replied, "Why are you asking this?" Do you think the entrance to the spirit realm is in the arena on the ground floor? Not to mention that it's really possible, have you read the "History of Organization Building" I gave you earlier? ”

“…… Just looked at the beginning a little. ”

He suddenly realized something.

The mountain Minoru in front of him said bluntly: "You know it all by looking at it, the first group of elders of the rescue organization came from the bottom mine and the bottom arena, they designed to destroy the bottom arena at that time, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape from Huangtie Town and establish a stronghold in the desert——"

Kashiwagi muttered in a low voice, "Liddy......"

"That's right, Mr. Lyddy, the original leader of the Salvation Order, was also my father and my teacher, and he taught me a lot during the time I was away from Ergin's persecution." Minoru Yama nodded respectfully.

I see!

No wonder he felt familiar.

The name of the original leader of the Salvation Group is enough to be called thunderous, and this old gentleman, now retired, fired the first shot against tyranny and saving the future of the region.

After experiencing oppression, rebellion, and the resurgence of the Shadow Brigade, Liddy and his partners have been preparing for decades when they realize that in order to save the region, they must undergo a major change from top to bottom, with both consciousness and living environment.

From nothing, from a few miners to the Ore region up and down there are their people.

Lyddy's life is legendary.

Of course.

These are not the point.

The point is that he actually dreamed of Liddy's escape from the bottom mine when he was young, and Liddy and they also have a big brother!

Kashiwagi glanced at Fleur, who was waving to them in the distance, and said, "The situation is a bit complicated, you accompany me down to the mine first, and we will talk while walking on the road." ”

"Okay."

Yama Minoru was about to follow, but nodded when he heard this.

Retrieve the Pokémon from the Poké Balls, leaving only Doron Barruto and Geng Ghost invisible and a latent shadow to follow, and the cypress wood and Hibiscus in front of the mine converge.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Fleur wrinkled her cute little nose and said:

"Do you have psychic dreams?"

"I did dream about something." Kashiwagi nodded solemnly, also put on the helmet of the protective suit, and relayed what he dreamed of to the two of them.

Meanwhile.

They also boarded the elevator to the bottom mine, and the machine rumbled to start, but it didn't stop Fleur and Minoru from listening carefully.

And by the time the elevator reached the bottom and the wide, stable mine appeared in front of the three of them, what had to be said had already been said.

Fleur said decisively: "That cursed doll must be a gatekeeper Pokémon, since it can complete the psychic dream with you, there must be a deep relationship between the two of you." ”

Hearing her words, Yama Minoru thought for a while, as if he understood some key element, and suddenly looked at Kashiwagi, a little complicated color appeared between his eyebrows, and said: "The ink on that person in the history of the organization is only the beginning, but Mr. Lidi has told me a lot about him. ”

"I remember that the teacher had never told him his name, and the teacher simply called him Big Brother, and knew that he was from the outside world, and nothing else. But it can be said that the teacher who was only a miner at the time inspired them to yearn for freedom and then make a series of plans. ”

He said in Kashiwagi's unsurprised expression, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a good chance that it's your—"

"Grandfather, Ryuwa."

Kashiwagi said this by the Meteor Village Elder.

A trainer who wields a tyrannosaurus and has some kind of special connection to him, and the story takes place at least a few decades ago when Mr. Liddy was young.

No matter how you think about it, only the dragon tamer ancestor dragon who has gone and never returned in the mouth of the elder has been reconciled.

"Grandfather he...... Didn't you get out of here in the end? Kashiwagi looked at Minoru Yama and asked in a low voice.

The latter patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "The teacher told me that Long and the old gentleman died in the underground of Huangtie Town for them. ”

But in fact.

Kashiwagi doesn't have much sad interest in his heart, a grandfather who has never met before, and it must be fake to say that there are any feelings.

But.

Regret and regret are indispensable.

The gentleness of the man in the dream in the face of the cursed doll, the back of the injured tyrannosaurus fighting side by side...... Everything he did should have a good ending for him.

Fleur didn't say anything, just patted Kashiwagi on the back, thinking that if she asked Grandma to come, she would be able to say some warm words of understanding.

I'm still a little short of maturity.

The three of them made their way deeper into the mine.

Kashiwagi didn't indulge in that abruptness, looked at Fleur and said, "According to the analysis of the dream, the cursed doll was not a gatekeeper Pokémon at that time. How does it do it? Snatched the position of the original gatekeeper? ”

"How is it possible, it could only be that when the arena was destroyed, too many lives withered, causing the entrance of the spirit world to come and absorb the soul, and it happened that there was no gatekeeper at the entrance of the spirit world, and it happened that the cursed doll met the conditions of the gatekeeper."

Fleur held up two fingers, shook them, and said, "So we might as well make a bold guess about the reason why the cursed doll blocked the entrance to the spirit world." ”

Minoru Yama said, "In order to prevent the soul of Grandfather Kashiwagi from going to the spirit realm? ”

Fleur nodded, "It's possible." ”

"Then why did it say that I was finally here after seeing me, could it be that it was not the cursed doll that was waiting for me, but my grandfather?" Kashiwagi suggested another possibility.

Fleur nodded again, "It's also possible, but ordinary people's souls lose their bodies, and their consciousness will gradually disappear, becoming an existence like a lost soul that can only retell fragments of residual memories." ”

The puzzle is not yet fully revealed.

It seems that only by meeting the cursed doll can all the veils be lifted.

The three of them came to the "end" of the mine, where several construction machines were digging in the direction Fleur had pointed out, and the tablet in Brito's hand showed their position at the moment.

There is also the approximate location of the Hibiscus guide.

"Sure enough, in the bottom arena." Yama Minoru drew a circle on the tablet with his fingers, which happened to partially coincide with the approximate range of the entrance to the spirit realm, "This is the old site of the arena on the ground floor, and the shadow team led by the Doura Commander dug it out and reactivated it once a long time ago, but the safety hazard was too great, and it was finally abandoned. ”

Erlu, isn't that the final boss of the "Amphitheater" chapter in the Ouray region?

Compared with Erkin, who does not hide his ambitions and means, Eru still maintains his face as mayor at least on the surface, and only does things in secret.

Fleur looked at the tablet and said, "In this case, that bottom arena should be the medium for the entrance to the spirit realm, huh...... Let me think about how to connect the spiritual portal to reality. ”

Kashiwagi pondered wordlessly, he always felt that there was another hidden meaning in the cursed doll's psychic dream, what message did the other party want to convey.

Yama Minoru secretly glanced at Kashiwagi, and his heart was infinitely emotional.

I never thought that the two sides would have such a relationship, but it's a pity that I couldn't connect the two when I searched for the Kashiwagi archives at that time-

Who would have thought that the eldest brother who saved the original leader of the organization, Mr. Liddy, was actually a Meteor Folk from Hoen.

Why didn't he tell Teacher Liddy?

Perhaps in that era, there were too many reasons why it was inconvenient to expose oneself.

Minoru Yama, who is well-versed in world history, understands that even in other regions, the existence of Pokémon has been widely accepted by the public in the last hundred years.

Before the advent of Poké Balls, Pokémon were more often referred to as Warcraft, and they were commonly used in warfare to show the public's fear of Pokémon.

As the first person in the Pokémon academic world, Dr. Oki is largely related to the fact that he classified and attributed Pokémon to countless people through attributes.

——

Hours later.

The construction team dug a hard gray rock wall, and the obviously artificially poured wall lifted the spirits of everyone present.

"The old site of the Arena on the ground floor!"

Minoru Yama compared the locations on the slab and gave the exact answer.

And when the wall was dug open, revealing the dark and dim passage inside, a large stone fell to the ground in everyone's hearts.

Finally found it!

Several workers of the construction team breathed a sigh of relief, and they were very happy to look at each other.

It's great to be able to find it after a busy afternoon and almost half a night, and the more you work underground, the more depressing it becomes.

"Let's check if there is anything wrong with the oxygen circulation system, it hasn't seen the light of day for decades, and it is likely that a lot of toxic gases have been precipitated."

He turned to the others and said, making sure everyone's hazmat suits were okay, and then entering the passage in turn.

It seems to have been enabled before, and there is no clutter in the passage.

Kashiwagi and Brito, who were afraid to act alone, and one of the workers found the power distribution room of the arena and checked the generators and other equipment inside.

"And stored energy! You can use the ventilation channel or anything, which is great! ”

Britto said to him happily, and went off to work.

Isn't this guy an architecture major?

Kashiwagi was about to pull out his phone to ask for help from Polyman II, and it was a novelty to see Britto skillfully operate on the dusty machines.

Not much.

With a violent roar, sporadic lights illuminated the distribution room.

It's a place that has been rebuilt by a generation of Shadow Teams, and everything looks quite modern, and if it remains the same as it was decades ago, it will make people want to cry without tears.

Kashiwagi turned his head to go out and found that the passage had also been illuminated by lights, and the dazzling white light at the end of the distance was particularly dazzling.

He felt something in his heart and went straight to it.

In a flash.

Familiar metal platforms and huge fans come into view, and countless white shadows flicker in the auditorium, like a fanatical audience in a dream.

He even felt like he heard the cries of these guys.

"Kashiwagi!"

Minoru Yama's voice interrupted Kashiwagi's thoughts.

He stood aside with his mobile phone in his hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "I think there are some things that I have to give you an explanation." For example, the bones of the dragon and grandfather......"

"Let's talk about the cursed doll first."

Kashiwagi patted him on the shoulder and looked at Fleur standing in the middle of the metal platform.

The other party tilted his head against the huge fan that was slowly swirling.

Turbulence.

The Night Demon took out a number of Poké Balls from its large mouth in front of its abdomen and opened them, and a large number of wandering Night Spirits flew out and swirled around Fleur.

Fleur pinched the rosary and folded her hands reverently.

Jingle bell~

Jingle jingle bell~

The rattle bell echoed through the empty arena.

Kashiwagi saw many white shadows suddenly appear and walked towards the audience seats, and after filling each place, a strange feeling suddenly rose.

Fleur, who closed her eyes, turned her head and shouted to Minoru Shanmin here, "Let everyone get out!" Stay away from this field until you can't see it! Then you won't enter the spirit realm! ”

"Good!"

Minoru Yamag answered, turning his head to greet the workers scattered around to check the safety of the arena, and herded them back into the passageway.

He hesitated a little, wanting to return to the center of the arena, but he never thought that when he walked out of the passage again, he suddenly lost the existence of Hibiscus and Cypress.

Only the numerous wandering Spirits spun in circles in an eerie manner.

"Got in?"

Yama Minoru didn't expect to be left behind, and sighed regretfully and took out his phone.

Regarding the matter of Long He, he actually wanted to ask Teacher Lidi who was far away in Silicon City, although it was not good to disturb an old man's dream at night, but some things were better to ask clearly now.

He had a hunch that it wasn't that simple.

And in another world.

A violent tremor took over everything.

Kashiwagi and Fleur saw the huge fan above the arena shatter and fall, the entire dome collapsed and smashed everywhere, and the white shadows screamed and scattered, but they couldn't escape at all.

"Fleur!"

He hurried towards Fleur, who was being protected by the Night Spirit.

Just halfway through, everything around me seemed to freeze in time.

The dark dome appeared with the gray-purple vortex that the cypress had entered, and a pair of blood-red eyes revealed it, followed by a faint voice.

"You...... Finally...... No! Wrong! You're not him! ”

Before it finished speaking, it suddenly became miserable as if it could tell that Kashiwagi was not the person it was waiting for, "You're not him!" Get out! Get out of here! ”

Everything that had been stagnant trembled again.

Cursed Doll looking for Dragon? Wasn't Long He already sacrificed under the Yellow Iron Town?

Kashiwagi looked at Fleur, who was also surprised, and only felt that the situation surprised them.
