"I have something to eat."

"Side dishes?"

"Yes, legend has it that Giratina will appear in the Ancient Necropolis, so if you go to the Ancient Necropolis, you might be able to meet Giratina."

"Where is the Ancient Necropolis?"

"There are three lakes in the Sinnoh area. Lake Rishi, Lake Aichi, Lake Shinji??。 But in addition to these three lakes, there is another lake. \"

Shirona stood up and pulled an old book from the shelf.

"What is this?"

"This is the historical record of the Sinnoh region before it was called the Sinnoh region, and it is a map of the Emerald region."

The Sinnoh region used to be known as the Emerald region. Shirona doesn't know when the name Sinnoh region first came about, but it is said to have been around the time when people began to explore the area and deepen their understanding of Pokémon.

On the map that Hakuna spreads out, the terrain shown is not much different from the current Sinnoh region. There are three lakes in it anyway.

\"This is the old Sinnoh region, right? That's how the area around Kokuyo no Yaba is called in the area around Shoushi. \"

"In the past, the Sinnoh region was not developed at all, and it was surrounded by vast nature. At that time, there was a lack of understanding about Pokémon, so they were called scary creatures. ”

\"yes, yes. We can get along well with Pokémon now because of the things that have been accumulated by our predecessors. \"

A world where Pokémon can't understand each other. It's a world that light can't imagine. Light can't imagine what it would be like to live in a world where people fear and hate each other, but she can live in such a world because there are people living in such a world. Hikari realized this fact with a strange feeling.

"So, back to the point, according to this map, there's a lake, or rather a spring, around Route 214."

"Oh yes. It's small, but it's certainly there. ”

"This spring is the 'Fountain of Death,' and it says that it is the place where the dead are sent to another world."

Now it's just a record, and Sirona only vaguely knows the location, but doesn't know anything in detail. However, since it has something in common with Giratina, which didn't leave any details until modern times, it might be worth checking out.

"In this fountain there is Giratina"

"But maybe there is. As I said earlier, Giratina itself is basically an entity that watches over our world in an upside-down world. \"

"But you don't have any other choice, do you? Then let's go! ”

Hearing the powerful words of light, Sirona nodded and placed the book in her hand on the table.

"If I could, I would have liked to go now, but it couldn't."

The hands of the clock are already pointing to 2:00 a.m. Normally, it's time to sleep, and it's also a problem for minors to wake up. Too much is not good.

"Okay, let's sleep today and do it tomorrow."

"Will you oversleep tomorrow?"

"Eh, hey, so be it. Wake up Mr. Keim, who is oversleeping. \"

"Huhuhu, yes.

There is no guarantee that I will meet Ridlatina, and even if I did, there was no evidence that she would cooperate with me. But even so, for some reason, they still felt that they could meet. This, of course, is unfounded. Although it is just a hunch, it is enough for the two now.

Their laughter echoed through the silent night.

The next day

During the day, the two headed to Route 214 after caring for the victims in Mai Ao City. The two walked along Route 214 in search of the Teleportation Spring, but they managed to find it.

"Where are you!?"

The light held his head and was not discovered. Despite searching for more than two hours, no shadows or figures seemed to be found.

"I didn't expect to find so many"

But if you think about it, it makes sense. This is a spring that has been almost undiscovered since the Jade Domain. Not easy to find.

When Sirona looked up at the sky, Kem's Mukhok had just landed.

"Mukhawk. What do you think? ”

Muckhawk shook his head at Sirona's question. With that, Sirona exhaled and looked at the time on her smartphone. It's almost sunset, and the more the sun sets, the more difficult the search becomes.

What should I do...

I've been looking in the air for Lucario's logo and Mukhawk, but I haven't found it. A feeling of impatience swirled in Bai Nai's chest. I want to bring Kem back as soon as possible.

We are cornered by the current situation and have no choice but to stand still.

"Where is it...!"

As soon as Sirona gritted her teeth, the sun disappeared from the horizon.

marsh

A chill suddenly rushed up my spine.

Shirona looked around and didn't know what was going on. Although it doesn't seem to have changed, it's not just Shirona, but the Pokémon seem to be aware of the subtle changes in the atmosphere.

\"Miss Sirona! \"

"yes, the atmosphere has changed."

It's not the same as the nightmare that surrounds the city of Mai O. The atmosphere is even more eerie, and it can be said that it is the complete opposite of the usual atmosphere.

"I passed Route 214 at night, but the atmosphere has never been like this!"

"yes, I've been there before, but it's not like that."

"What..."

Go out to find the Keystone's Missile, turn to Sirona and shout "Warm Sleep". Sirona tilted her head, unable to understand Mikoto's intentions.

At this moment, the moon attached to Shirona's coat opened. Blackie emerges from the inside and tugs at the hem of Sirona's coat.

"Blackie? What's wrong? ”

Xiao Hei took Sirona and the others along Route 214 into the forest. The atmosphere is like saying, "Come on." ”

"I guess you mean come here."

"It sounds like that. Let's go. ”

I'll be with Heiki for a while.

The path that Blackie was walking was a freshly repaired road, but he didn't see anyone or Pokémon walking on it. Moreover, not only is this path impossible to reach without entering the forest for a certain distance, but it is not surprising that it cannot be found at all from above due to the presence of trees. It.

"If you can't find such a way, it's useless."

"I see, I didn't know there was such a deep road."

After walking for a while, I came to a clearing. There was a fog around me, and I couldn't see what was going on around me, but I felt that the strange atmosphere I had felt before had become even stronger.

After walking for a while, a large mountain appeared in front of us.

"I wonder if there is such a mountain"

"I think there's one, but I don't think it's that big."

"In any case, you can't possibly not notice I don't know why no one noticed."

A mountain of this size, it is impossible for anyone to notice. However, no one noticed the mountain. Sirona thought to herself, maybe it was hidden by some mysterious power.

"Let's climb up. Mukuhawk, light, please. ”

"Please, Mukuhawk."

As they climb the mountain, Hikari is caught by Kemu's Mukuhawk and Sirona is caught by Togikis. The fog on the mountain was getting thicker and thicker, so thick that I couldn't even see an inch ahead.

"Here...?"

"The fog is so thick that I can't see anything! We can't move forward like this. ”

"Yes. It's getting dark, let's go and dispel the fog. Mouthpiece, 'defogging and defogging'. ”

Kem's Mukhok used "Kirii" to clear the surrounding fog. The faint sunlight and moonlight illuminated the place where Bai Nai and the others were. In the middle of the meadow, there is a large area that resembles a volcanic crater, with water at the bottom.

"Is this the Teleportation Spring?"

"Perhaps. It is smaller than other lakes, but there are ruins near the surface of the water, and it is almost decided. ”

Judging from the location and the remains of the ruins, there is no doubt that this is the spring. And where the ruins are located, there is a cave entrance that resembles the entrance to a cave.

"That's probably where Giratina is."

"Giratina is coming. \"

"Maybe there is, but. But I'm sure there will be. That's how I feel. ”

I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. Ever since I set foot on the road to spring, I have felt like I am being watched, and now that I am here, this feeling is even stronger.

"But Blackie. How did you find out about this place? ”

Blakey has led me to this point. However, although he couldn't find Lucario and Mukuhawk, he suddenly found a way to get here and directed me here.

Xiao Hei, who was questioned, quickly shifted his gaze. In front of him was a spring. I don't know what Blackie's gaze means, but there seems to be a factor behind it that knows this place.

The two of them stood in a pier-like place with a view of the spring. When you gaze at the spring, you will see that the spring is deeper than you think.

"Because it was deeper than I thought it would be, I wondered if 'rock climbing' was better."

"Yes. You may be able to 'climb' on the rock face. ”

Where the light points is a rugged rock face. Of course, as Hikari says, if it's that kind of rock surface, you should be able to get off by "rock climbing".

Both move to the vicinity of the relevant rock surface. Light took out a monster ball there.

"Vidal, please."

When Vidal plays the ball, Hikari and Sirona straddle Vidal. Vidal walked down the rugged rock face in a "rock climbing" way to the cave. As Light descended from Vidal back to the ball, she turned her gaze to the cave in front of her. I could feel the cold air blowing from inside against my skin.

"It's kind of weird."

"Yes.

"Alright! Then let's go see Giratina! ”

The two stepped into the cave.

It was pitch black and shrouded in mist. Cold, damp air enveloped them. There is a pillar inside the cave with some words written on it, but it is difficult to see due to the fog and darkness.

"Sorry, Mukuhawk. Please try again to "dehaze and dehaze". \"

Sirona asked Mukuhawk as she pulled out her flashlight. Mukuhawk once again used the 'Fog Plain' to disperse the fog and expand his field of vision.

"I don't know what this pillar is?"

The two walked to the stone pillar in the center of the cave and read the words written on it.

"'Before passing through the three pillars to the place of sleeping,' more than thirty.' What does that mean? ”

"You mean to find another pillar? But what do you mean before you turn 30? ”

"In addition to the entrance, there are three roads"

The sign does not change from any direction. Because Bai Nai is here for the first time, he can only act on his instincts.

"Even if I think of this, I still don't understand, so let's take a slow."

"yes, then let's go over!"

The two of them headed in the direction that the light was pointing.

At the end of the path I found a space similar to the one where the original pillars were, but without them.

"Nothing."

"You're a loser. Let's go the other way. ”

"Yes"

After making sure nothing had happened, the two went back the way they came, back to where the pillar was, or so they thought. However, while they were supposed to go back the way they came, they were presented with a space without pillars.

“？ You went back the way you came, right? ”

"There is no doubt about it. But this"

The two of them exclaimed, and saw a space that was significantly different from when they first arrived.

What's going on? I thought I was going back the way I came, but I ended up in a different place than the first time I came and didn't seem to have enough space for multiple places of this size.

I can't imagine that the hill on which this cave is located has enough volume to accommodate multiple spaces of this size. It's barely understandable if it's just the space where the first pillar is located, but it's hard to imagine more than one column.

Then, Bai Nai felt that there must be some special reason for this cave.

"Maybe this cave is distorted. So on the way back, there's a different space expanding, and it makes sense that it's too big compared to the volume of the hill. ”

"Sure enough! To distort space is to tear the space of the world! ”

"That's right, it's becoming more and more likely that Giratina is here. \"

"But how am I going to get out?"

"Only at times like this do you not have a rope to pull through."

Shirona held her head. At times like these, Kem usually has all sorts of things going on, but Kem is sleeping right now.

"Anyway, let's move on. If you keep going, you might even meet Giratina. \"

"yes, let's start searching."

Shirona asks the light, who behaves bravely.

"Shikari, aren't you worried?"

“？”

"Aren't you nervous about coming to a place where you might not be able to leave?"

The light is indeed strong. However, she is still a girl who has just graduated less than two years ago. It's not that I don't have fear.

Hikari thought about it, but quickly responded with a smile.

\"It would be a lie to say that I'm not afraid, but now Miss Shirana and my Pokémon are here, so I'm fine. Besides, I'm here to wake up Miss Cam, so Ayutthaya! \"

"Hehe, that's right, you're such a girl."

Hikari is a girl who works hard for others and her Pokémon and not for herself. So my resolve is far stronger than my fears. So don't give in, even though you may be feeling anxious.

"Your light is strong."

“？”

"Nothing. Now, let's move on. ”

The reason for choosing light. This may be due to the strength of the light's heart.

Thinking so, Hakuna walked through the cave with Hikari.
