Chapter 003: God and Town

Early morning. A refreshing cool breeze blows through every part of the Sinnoh region. A ray of sunlight shines in front of the window.

Zhulan rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed. She just moved, and the land shark woke up in a daze.

"I'm sorry, Round Land Shark, I woke you up." Zhulan touched the head of the round land shark and walked out of the bedroom with it in her arms.

The round land shark was held by Zhulan like this, and it always felt a little awkward. However, it quickly put that awkwardness behind it.

Although the land shark does not really belong to this world entirely, the land shark belongs to the newborn creatures. For newborn creatures, everything is so new outside.

As the first Zhulan who witnessed the birth of the round land shark, the round land shark inexplicably felt a little kind and dependent.

From the moment Zhulan hatched the round land shark, she and the round land shark were destined to be linked.

The land shark tilted its head, and was about to say something, but only let out a low roar.

"Huh~~" Lu Xiaochuan patted his head. Ay! I almost forgot that I became an elf! Such words are incomprehensible to human language.

Greeting the warm sunshine, Zhulan stroked the head of the round land shark. The land shark shook its head, enjoying the touch.

"Good morning, Grandma!"

Zhulan waved her hand and greeted the mustard orchid.

"Grandma." Zhulan hugged the round land shark, her face full of anticipation. "Can I take the land shark out for a walk today?"

Mustard Orchid, dressed in a white doctor's uniform and dressed as a bit of a punk, closed her eyes and nodded.

"Of course, you little girl don't want to get lost."

Zhulan shrugged helplessly. "Grandma, I know, I'll just walk around our neighborhood."

The round land shark was caught in the middle, and with some confusion, it shook its head with its small short hand.

"Huh?" (・◇・)?

Standing on the familiar bluestone path, the warm sunlight sprinkled the ground, paving a layer of faint golden light. Zhulan raised her head slightly and smiled. It's spring, and some cherry blossom trees are planted along the bluestone path in Kamiwa Town. When the wind blows, the cherry blossom petals dye the spring a light pink with the intoxicating spring breeze.

"Spring in Kamiwa Town is beautiful."

With a maturity that is not like a child, Zhulan spoke.

The round land shark held in Zhulan's arms tilted its head and enjoyed the view. A cool breeze blew, blowing Zhulan's waist-length blonde hair.

"Round land shark, shall we go to the gods and ruins?"

Although it didn't know who the little girl and the old man in front of her were, the land shark instinctively felt that it had to trust her.

Follow the bluestone path to the heart of the town where you will find gods and ruins.

Located in the central part of Kamiwa Town, the ruins are made of stone bricks, with a hollowed-out roof and several pillars on top of the ruins. As for why the roof is hollowed out, the specific reason is unknown. Since there were usually no people here, the floor of the gods and ruins was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Kamiwa Town is known as the "Town of the Past", and as a town that is older than the Sinnoh region, there is a lot of history about the Sinnoh region recorded in the town. As for the gods and relics, etched reliefs tell the story of Kashi, Emlido and Yaknom.

Stepping on the floor of the gods and ruins, making a 'squeak' sound, Zhulan hugged the land shark and lightly came to the relief of the gods and ruins.

"I've wanted to be here a long time ago." Zhulan lowered her voice and whispered to the round land shark.

Sensing the solemn atmosphere, the round land shark also lowered its voice and barked in a low voice.

"Huh."

Stretching out a white hand, Zhulan gently stroked the relief.

This relief must have existed here for a long time, and there is a faint smell of metal, not pungent, but not very good. There are clearly protruding positions on the relief, and in the lower, upper and right corners of the relief, three Pokémon are carved on them. In the very center of the relief there is also a protruding sun shape.

"Listen to grandma, these three Pokémon are the legendary Pokémon by Keshi, Emrido, and Yaknom."

Collectively known as the 'Three Sacred Mushrooms', Kashi, Emrido, and Yaknom, they inhabit Lake Shinchi, Lake Richi, and Lake Wisdom in the Sinnoh region. Legend has it that these three Pokémon were created by Arceus, the god of creation.

The Three Sacred Mushrooms represent the connection between humans and Pokémon in the Pokémon world, in which Yuki brings "wisdom" to humans, Emlido teaches humans "emotions", and Yaknom gives humans "will".

Yuan Lu Shark listened carefully to Zhulan's explanation, and Lu Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh: "This little girl knows a lot!" ”

From this point of view, the triangle in the relief represents the 'Three Sacred Mushrooms', and the sun shape in the middle should represent the creator god 'Arceus'.

"Round land shark, I think this sun shape in the middle should represent Arceus, the god of creation, right?" Regardless of whether the round land shark could understand it or not, Zhulan still chatted with it patiently.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling around the gods and ruins. Zhulan was taken aback and looked around with some panic.

As a little girl, panic is a common emotion.

The missile-like bones on both sides of the round land shark's head shook slightly, and they looked around vigilantly.

Zhulan hugged the land shark tightly and slowly moved towards the exit of the gods and ruins.

As soon as they walked out of the gods and ruins, Zhulan and Yuanlu Shark became highly vigilant, their expressions were concentrated, and they did not dare to relax at all.

It's not for nothing that they're so nervous. Zhulan is just a little girl who has not experienced Pokémon battles, and the command is very jerky. And the round land shark has just been born, and the chance of winning against wild Pokémon is very small.

Walking out of the gods and ruins, Zhulan's feet froze, and the sound of rustling was getting closer and closer to them. A fat Pokémon emerges from the grass, staring at Zhulan and the Round Land Shark with unkind eyes.

"It's..."

"Dong Shi Meow!"

Dong Shi Meow is by no means a good kind from the point of view of appearance. The body is fat, and the ears resemble the wings of a flying elf. He has a pair of yellow eyes. The claws are very sharp. Despite its obesity, it is extremely fast. Dong Shi Meow is extremely thick-skinned, and even the lair of other Pokémon has no scruples about treating it as his own.

"Round land shark, let's run!" Zhulan hugged the round land shark tightly, increased her speed, and turned her head directly in the direction of home.

But Dong Shi Meow didn't seem to intend to give up, and his yellow eyes suddenly became extremely fierce. Spread out his four hooves, using a speed that was not proportional to his body, followed behind Zhulan, chasing them.

Not daring to look back, Zhulan hugged the round land shark, her palms were full of sweat.

"Quick, go back and find grandma, grandma must have a way!"
