Sunny afternoon.

As usual, Kashiwagi piloted an unmanned deep aircraft to explore the bottom of the sea.

Turbulence.

"Huh?"

He abruptly stopped the moving joystick, adjusted the camera and made the Shenzhen Aircraft take a few steps back, and a dark cavern suddenly appeared in front of him.

What's more, there seems to be some kind of pattern printed on the sides of the cave, which he almost missed due to the fact that it was obscured by seaweed.

He manipulated his robotic arm to tear the seaweed apart, and soon a large amount of algae attached to the surface, and many strange murals with mutilations were displayed on camera.

"Doctor! Check this out! ”

Kashiwagi immediately turned his head and shouted, and the three people on the deck rushed in, and at a glance saw the mural slightly blurred by the erosion of the sea and the growth of algae.

Dr. Hotaka was pleasantly surprised, "That's right! That's it! ”

He operated on a computer next to him, and the silver screen at the front suddenly had an extra picture, and the similarity with the cave paintings reached an astonishing 80%!

"Finally found!"

Asahi excitedly grabbed Kashiwagi by the shoulders and shook it.

They managed to find no target in the last unexplored part of the ocean, even if there were only a few areas that were not much different from the last.

Ah Jian didn't speak, but his eyebrows unconsciously overflowed with lightheartedness.

Kashiwagi asked, "Do you just go in and explore, or do you go around the cave first to clean up the seagrass nearby and gather more information about the murals?" ”

"Let's gather information first, if there are murals that are not included in the materials, it will be a major discovery!" Dr. Hotaka suppressed his excitement.

"Okay."

He promised to come down.

Although he was looking forward to entering the bulletin stone chamber to crack the ancient braille, Kashiwagi knew that Dr. Hotaka and the purpose of their visit was not so much to find the three pillars as to find more distant history.

The duck with green onions in hand doesn't fly far, take your time.

"Leave it to me." Ah Jian suddenly spoke: "Next-"

"Stop, I understand, I'll give way."

Kashiwagi raised his hand and quickly got out of the way, handing over the operation panel of the unmanned deep aircraft to Ah Jian.

It is not difficult to remove seaweed and seaweed from the walls, but if you do research, you must ensure that the contents of the mural are not damaged, so the speed of removal must be slowed down indefinitely, which will be an extremely energy-consuming and physical trouble.

Ah Jian obviously wanted to take over this tiring work, but he wouldn't say it so bluntly.

It's weird.

Anyway, Kashiwagi was not interested in listening to a big man's awkward words, he once thought that one day Ah Jian would suffer a loss because of this kind of character, and that would be what Ah Jian deserved.

Should!

Glad you're living in the Pokémon world, boy.

He patted Jian on the shoulder, who frowned and didn't quite understand what he meant, but didn't pay much attention.

More importantly, it is important to gather information on the murals.

——

As Kashiwagi thought.

Even with the help of high technology, excavating monuments can be very tiring.

The three of them and Dr. Hotaka worked overtime to clean up the murals, but it still took four or five days to clean them up, and they also returned to Kena City to replenish them once before they cleaned up all the murals near the entrance of the cave.

Fortunately, it has been fruitful.

"The traces of history are fascinating!"

Dr. Hotaka looked at the mural scanned on his computer, and his face was full of smiles.

The content of the mural is very similar to Kashiwagi's imagination, and it is an abstract painting of Hoenn's ancient human sacrifices to Reggias, Regiloke, and Regis Chiru, with many raised dots underneath.

No doubt.

These are the words of ancient civilizations.

"The biggest difference between ancient braille and modern braille is that it has different meanings depending on the length and shape of the braille symbols, making it a very complex language system. ”

Kashiwagi asked, "Is it hard to decipher?" ”

"In the past, it was more difficult, but over the years, there have been many people involved in the study of ancient characters, and I happen to know one." Dr. Hotaka said with a smile, and it happened that an email message popped up at the bottom right of the computer: "It's here!" ”

He clicked on the email, and a series of translations of the corresponding pictures appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Eternal giants, we will give everything"

"Eternal giants, may you always protect us"

"Eternal giant, where is the hope for the future?"

"Forgive us, Eternal Giant"

……

"A hymn?" Asahi asked curiously.

Kashiwagi said: "I think it's more the history of civilization than praise...... I've heard that this civilization first lived in caves? ”

Dr. Hotaka replied, "That's right, they first lived in a dark cave to escape natural disasters, and Braille was developed at that time.

"Later, with the help of the power of the legendary giants, they came out of the cave and further developed a brilliant civilization, but unfortunately it came to an abrupt end."

Ah Jian didn't say anything, and silently manipulated the unmanned deep aircraft to the cave.

It's time to explore further!

In the expectant gaze of everyone, the drone slowly entered the cave, and the high beams turned on to illuminate the interior environment of the cave, and what greeted the eye was a deep and straight tunnel.

There is no sign of any wild Pokémon activity.

At the end of the road was a fork in the road that led to two different directions, and after a short discussion, everyone decided to explore to the right first.

I never thought this was a way back.

Nothing was found.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the three of them, Kashiwagi said, "Could it be that it is also a mural with words?" ”

Dr. Hotaka immediately said, "What Kashiwagi said makes sense! Look carefully for patterns or raised braille on the walls! ”

"Good!"

Ah Jian manipulated the drone and searched carefully.

Soon he found a rock wall that was covered by a large amount of dust, and after carefully clearing the dust, a few lines of Braille were revealed.

Dr. Hotaka quickly sent it to his friend.

The other party was also very efficient, and it took less than five minutes to reply.

"The Hall of Words is above here"

Seeing this, Asahi said, "Above? Does it mean that there is a walkable passage on it? ”

Without saying a word, Ah Jian turned the camera, and sure enough, as Asahi said, he found a new passage above the rock wall.

The drone rose quickly, and it didn't want to make a loud noise.

"Surfaced? There's a big hole in here! Asahi exclaimed.

Kashiwagi squinted, although it was slightly different from the situation in his memory, but on the whole, this was indeed the bulletin stone room of the Liberation Pillar in the game.

Meanwhile.

Ah Jian has completed the survey of the cave and confirmed that there are no signs of life in the vicinity, and the air composition in the cave can be used by human movement.

"It's our turn."

He stood up and said to Kashiwagi.

The unmanned deep aircraft does not have a land travel function, so the specific exploration of the cave can only rely on manpower.

Kashiwagi had been looking forward to this for a long time, and immediately went to sort out the equipment.

Diving in the Pokémon anime world is easier and safer than in previous lives, so you don't have to worry about decompression sickness, and you only need to pay a little attention to the ear pressure balance.

A strong human body is strong enough to penetrate everything.

It's like Ash dives dozens of meters deep without any equipment in the theatrical version of "The Prince of the Sea", and keeps swimming up to breathe, picking up the prism used to control the Temple of the Sea.

The only thing to watch out for are wild Pokémon that can attack, such as megalodons, tyrannosaurs, and stinger jellyfish, which have a wide range of activities and are common.

Before diving, Ajian was given the captaincy by Dr. Hodaka, and neither Kashiwagi nor Asahi had any opinion.

"Pay attention to the light on the waist of the person in front of you, don't be distracted by superfluous things, and use team communication in time if there is a situation."

He said solemnly.

Naturally, the two of them could not have any objections, they were used to hearing this kind of thing that they had to say every time they dived.

Put on a hood and enter the water in order.

Poof! Poof!

The sound of the water gurgling in his ears exhilarates Kashiwagi, and when the deep, magnificent underwater world gradually emerges before him, his small expectations are satisfied.

A different scenery......

What are the benefits of the Pokémon Animated World?

Don't worry about suffering from deep-sea phobia, there are only Pokémon here, and even if some kind of behemoth appears, it is a special kind of Pokémon.

For example, the super giant fast dragon that appeared in Zhenghui's lighthouse.

What's more, no matter how ugly the Pokémon of the deep sea is, can it be uglier than the hunting grouper fish and the ancient sky eavelacanth?

Backbite!

The tone of the communication band prompted Kashiwagi to quickly come back to his senses, and he looked ahead to find that Ajian and Asahi were looking back at him.

"How?" Asahi's voice came, and it sounded muffled.

"No problem."

The cypress shook the frog flippers and followed.

In order to save their physical strength, Dr. Hotaka drove the boat closer to the Proclamation Grotto, so it didn't take long for the three of them to come to the cave tunnel, and ascend to the inside of the grotto in turn.

"Whew~"

Kashiwagi exhaled, took off his fins, hood, oxygen cylinder and other equipment, and changed into the shoes and gloves handed by Ah Jian.

Polymon II. got out of the phone, and without waiting for Asahi and Sword, a white light lit up and split out another Polymon II.

The Polymon II flew into the sky above the Hall of Words, unleashing an intense light that illuminated the dark grotto.

"Polymon II. is amazing!" Asahi opened his mouth and praised.

The corners of the Polymon II's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked defiantly at Sword, who had forbidden it to help before.

Ah Jian: "...... Come out, Martial Arts Bear Master! ”

Bang!

"Hiss!"

A one-hit Flowing Martial Arts Bear Master appeared in the cave.

Shh

Polymon II has a disdainful face, it hates this kind of self-righteous guy who thinks he cares about and grinds others.

Does its trainer need your care?

"Doctor! Can you hear me, Doctor? ”

Ah Jian contacted Dr. Hotaka at sea, and after confirming that the communication was normal, he said to Kashiwagi: "From now on, your official entry test has begun, I will not provide you with any more help, and your performance will be counted in the final score." ”

The head of the cypress indicates understanding.

Asahi unleashed a combo attack on the Martial Arts Bear Master and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on Kashiwagi!" I'm looking forward to seeing you officially join the team! ”

Then you're going to be disappointed.

He secretly slandered himself that it was fun to pursue various legendary Pokémon with Dr. Hotaka, but he never forgot the true purpose.

The trio began to explore the Hall of Words.

Kashiwagi went straight to the front and looked at the wall where the ancient Braille was written, and tried to remember.

It seems to be ...... Dig?

But it was too reckless to destroy it directly, so he took pictures of ancient Braille from all angles and sent it to Dr. Hotaka to ask him to find a friend to help translate it.

He turned around and was about to say something to Asahi and Sword, but the two of them exchanged words in the channel in a serious tone.

It seems that the contents of several other stone walls remind them of the Braille alphabet.

What is the Hall of Words?

That is, a place where the meaning of ancient braille is correctly understood.

They correspond to unknown totems, which in turn represent another ancient language, and the important thing is that with this alphabet, Dr. Hotaka himself was able to translate ancient Braille.

By the way, if there is a mistake in the previous translation, it can also be corrected.

This is a very big discovery!

Kashiwagi listened to the joy in the tone of Dr. Hodaka's tone when he communicated with Asahi and Ken in the channel, and he only felt that the joys and sorrows between people were really different.

He looked around the stone wall twice, touched it again, and said, "That wall, the Braille on it seems to be for us to dig up, and it says that there is a place called the Key Hall inside. ”

"Do you know the ancient language that the unknown totem represents?" Asahi asked in surprise.

Ah Jian also looked over.

Kashiwagi smiled: "I understand a little." ”

He learned his ancient language from calligraphers, and it really belongs to the category of slightly understood, even if someone is not afraid to take the test.

After filming everything on the rock wall, it was sent to Dr. Hodaka, and the three of them came to the rock wall.

Asahi proposed, "It's a shame to dig it up, these are precious historical artifacts, let's take the braille down and then excavate it, right?" ”

"Hmm."

As the captain, Ah Jian immediately agreed.

Kashiwagi had no choice but to pull out a small hammer and shovel from his bag containing various tools.

Three people squatted or stood and dug up slowly.

It happened that there were nine Braille on the wall, and the three hands and feet of one person were quickly dug up, and Ah Jian carefully carried them into the accompanying drone, which was handled by Dr. Hotaka and transported back to the salvage ship.

And when he returns.

Kashiwagi had already sent Boskodora to dig through the rock wall, quickly and without making any loud noise.

Ah Jian was stunned and didn't say anything.

Polymon II. As usual, the doppelganger is separated and flashes inside.

Under the strong light, a key hall that was extremely similar to the Hall of Words appeared in front of the three of them.

It's just that the Key Hall is larger, like an open space of several plazas combined, causing Polymaon II to have to climb in height and increase the degree of light.

"It's a stone wall again."

Asahi didn't rush forward, and waited for Ah Jian to advance before she entered, and his eyes swept to the stone walls distributed on both sides, "The number is much less." ”

Kashiwagi pointed to the deepest stone wall as usual, looked at the Braille, and was about to turn his head directly to tell the two people who were going to explore the other stone walls to say the answer, when he suddenly paused.

Wait a minute.

Did the Lord of the Howler Whale and the Ancient Sky Elacanth be called by these two names before?

It's true that in the game, these two are the same, but if there are other names in the anime...... Strong arguments should be able to explain, but to be on the safe side, translate to avoid mistakes.

He turned on his mobile phone and translated it according to the content recorded in the Hall of Words, and compared it with the ancient Braille above—

It is true that the Howler Whale King is called the Howler Whale King, but the Ancient Sky Echinocanth is not called the Ancient Sky Echinocanth.

The reason is that the name of the modern ancient alelacanth comes from the discoverer, and if it was also called this name in ancient times, it would be a hell of a sight.

"Rock Fish...... What a strange name. ”

Kashiwagi retreated and found Ken and Asahi, who also happened to translate the contents of the rock wall.

"We live in this cave and live here."

"It's all thanks to them."

"But we sealed them away."

"Because they're so horrible."

"Brave people, people who are full of hope for the future"

"Open the door, the Eternal Giant is inside"

"Is there still a door ahead?" Asahi looked at Kashiwagi.

Kashiwagi said: "No, it says that the rock face fish is the beginning, and the roaring whale king is the end." Everything will be opened. ”

Ah Jian and Asahi looked puzzled.

"Rock fish? What kind of Pokémon is this? ”

"You read that right?"

"Of course that's right, I've already posted it to the discussion group, so you can check it out for yourself." He said, spreading his hands.

Asahi took out his mobile phone to look at the pictures in the discussion group, and Ah Jian came directly to the stage and reached out to touch it.

The two fell silent.

Dr. Hotaka said, "I haven't found any of the extinct Pokémon to have a rock face fish, maybe it's some kind of existing Pokémon with a changed name?" ”

"I think so too, I vote for the ancient sky elacanth." Kashiwagi said bluntly: "Among the fish Pokémon, the ancient sky ecantha is the most worthy of the adjective rock face. ”

Asahi exclaimed, "Ancient Sky Eacanth! Yes! That fish Pokémon living fossil! I think it's a lot like when you say that! ”

The two looked at Ah Jian.

Who would have thought that Ah Jian not only did not object, but even praised it unexpectedly: "Not bad idea, the ancient sky ecantha does match the characteristics of the rock face, and your understanding of Pokémon is commendable." ”

Kashiwagi didn't react, Asahi smiled and patted Ah Jian, "You can also praise people!" How nice it is to be blunt! ”

In the channel, Dr. Hotaka expressed his approval: "It is true that the ancient sky ecanths match the characteristics of the rock face, but I didn't expect Kashiwagi-kun to recognize the ancient sky ecanths, which is a very, very rare Pokémon."

"As far as I know, there are very few in the world, and you actually thought of it all at once."

With the answers, of course, the process is easy.

Kashiwagi smiled, he didn't take the others for stupidity, they just didn't think of it so quickly, and gave them an illustrated book that it would take less than ten minutes to confirm.

Thereupon.

Dr. Hotaka has gone to borrow the Ancient Sky Elacanth and the Howler Whale King.

There aren't many in the world, but Dr. Hotaka can borrow them from others...... How much energy does this have?

Speaking of which, being able to attract so many people, especially Shigeru, to participate in the Dream Project, to some extent, has proven Dr. Hodaka's connections, and the legendary Pokémon that ordinary people rarely see in their lifetime are regarded by him as the task of testing the team members.

How can ordinary people have this strength.

The three of them rested in place for a while, and the more talkative Asahi chatted with Kashiwagi.

Not much.

Dr. Hodaka's voice rang in his ears, "Borrowed!" Do I need to transport it by drone? ”

"Wait, Doctor, the above mentioned that the ancient sky ecanths are the beginning, and the howler whale king is the end, do you want to release them directly from the grotto, and try the direction of the ancient sky elacanths towards the mural?"

Kashiwagi said bluntly: "It's hard to stuff the Howler Whale King in the place where we are. ”

When Dr. Hotaka heard this, he said, "It's fine. ”

There were only two thuds, followed by a long buzz and spitting jets.

Ken used his compass to confirm the direction and informed Dr. Hotaka of the exact direction.

The next moment.

The earthquake has begun!

Rumble!

Everything in front of me blurred.

At the end, the ancient braille on the rock wall was shining, but the three of them quickly approached without looking at it.

Ah Jian said without hesitation: "Let's go out!" ”

The relics are precious, and the collapse is not enough to bury people?

They hurriedly spread their steps and ran out, but before they could take two steps, the earthquake stopped abruptly, as if it had never happened.

The three of them looked at each other.

Dr. Hotaka inquired about their condition on the channel, and after confirming that they were safe, he asked, "Has anything changed in the grotto?" ”

"Nothing, business as usual." Ah Jian reported, standing on the stone wall at the end and looking around, "There is no open door." ”

Failed to break the seal?

Ah Jian's brows furrowed, and Asahi looked confused.

Kashiwagi is the only one who knows that three ruins scattered across the Hoenn continent have been opened - small island caves, desert ruins, and ancient tombs.

Dr. Hotaka didn't say a word for a long time, and after a few minutes, he ordered a few people to go ashore and make plans.
