Chapter 486 Mixed Slate

...

Following Alakazam's instructions.

Natsu and several Pokémon all followed the direction Jynx came from before she left.

After passing through a corridor that is not too big, arrived at the deepest part of this ice cave.

There are many traces of the original Jynx activity in it. The ice around is very serious. Compared to outside, the temperature was also much lower in places that should have been warmer.

However.

After careful scanning, Natsu didn't see the shadow of the slate.

Alakazam's perception is wrong?

Natsu obviously didn't think so, just silently looked at Alakazam, he must have sensed something, and said that before.

"Yonj-"

Alakazam did not hesitate. With Psychic halos in his eyes, the two spoons in his hands slowly floated into the air, two bright rays of light refracted.

And as the spoon gradually shifts the position and adjusts the angle of the light.

The change occurs when two rays of light actually meet the ice.

The layer of ice gradually melted, and what was frozen inside gradually appeared before Natsu's eyes.

This is a slate shard!

No, no, these are ice crystals encasing slate shards.

Approaching.

Natsu didn't feel any special coolness.

Alakazam found himself unable to remove the ice crystals and bowed suspiciously.

The Pokemon are also gathering.

Togetic landed directly on the ground, stood beside the slate shard, held it with both hands, and lifted it forcefully.

not moving at all.

"Cha Ke Yi?"

Togetic was a little disbelieving, and tried again, but still nothing changed. The ice crystals wrapped around the slate shards seemed to stick firmly to the ground.

"Chaa!" Togetic put her hands on her hips and puffed out her mouth, slightly angry.

Seeing her roll her eyes, move towards Natsu, lean on his shoulder and stick her head out, Chimchar with a curious face beckoned.

"Chim?"

Chimchar landed lightly.

Under Togetic's command, they each grabbed one side of the ice crystal and then exerted force at the same time.

"Chaa!"

"Chiim!"

The flames on Chimchar's tail soared high, and even his hands were enveloped in a blazing orange Flame.

But when the flame hits the ice crystal, instead of melting it, it only shines it brighter.

"Chim?"

Chimchar is shocked.

When he released the ice crystal, he discovered that his palm, which was clearly giving off fire, was actually covered in a layer of frost.

Chimchar suddenly felt that the outside world was very strong, and the flames could not withstand these cold and cold things.

Togetic saw this, and sat on the ground, arms crossed near her chest, sulking.

Natsu saw this series of operations in his eyes, and he didn't stop them because he wanted to see if the fire could work.

The result was not what he expected.

The layer of ice that even Gym Leader-level Alakazam couldn't break, of course, with Chimchar's flames, wouldn't be enough to melt it.

However.

While watching them in action, Natsu also noticed something strange.

View from top to bottom.

This slate shard is not on flat ground, but in the center of the footprint.

Why do you say footprints?

Because there were obvious claw marks, they were very similar to the footprints Mudsdale had left on his previous mountain pass.

And the ice crystals around the footprints can't break and melt.

At this time, Natsu also understood why Jynx, who lived here, did not choose to move the slate shards, but froze it.

Due to Jynx's ability, she can't break through the ice.

This made Natsu feel a little strange.

Similar to a horse's footprints, a layer of ice that couldn't be melted, a restrained but real Ice Type energy.

Natsu analyzed the information obtained one by one, suddenly his eyes slowly lit up.

He might have guessed who did it.

"Similar to a horse-like Pokémon, strong Ice-Type energy, but shouldn't that person be living in the 'crown temple' by now?"

The Crown Temple is located in the Galar Region An important castle in the city, inhabited by the legendary Pokémon, Calyrex, who once ruled the Galar Region.

And Calyrex has two mounts that are also legendary Pokemon, namely the white horse "Glastrier" and the dark horse "Spectrier".

Calyrex can have the Ice Type attribute with the power of the horse Pokemon, Glastrier, one of Calyrex's mounts.

However, it made sense that after Calyrex fell silent, he took his two horses and stayed in the Crown Temple without coming out. How could he go to Mount Coronet in the Sinnoh Region and leave a trace?

Also for this slate shard.

But this was only Natsu's guess. He really didn't know what the situation was.

But the problem at hand is that.

The slate shards are in sight.

Can't take it.

It can't be taken!

It's like a golden mountain in front of you, a beautiful woman, Cough cough.

Natsu stood still, watching the Pokemon try one by one.

"May be."

After thinking about it, Natsu took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, a milky white cocoon appeared next to the ice crystal.

Yes, the cocoons of Volcarona "warm babies".

With the advent of Volcarona, the temperature in this small space definitely warmed up.

Natsu tries to bring the cocoon closer to the slate.

Then.

The thin layer of ice covering the slate fragments began to melt!

But the melting rate is slow.

After all, Volcarona was sleeping soundly, and it was fine to let "that" hatch the egg, but letting him melt the ice crystals that might have come from the Glastrier was really embarrassing for him.

However.

Natsu has another trick.

From the backpack, a crimson stone the size of a sink was taken out.

Sleeping Volcarona wouldn't be able to, but plus a shard of Primal Groudon's carapace, would it?

Unite the carapace shards and the Volcarona cocoon.

Of course.

The ice melted faster all of a sudden.

And as the ice gradually dissipated, the shards of slate that had been frozen inside for an unknown number of years gradually appeared before Natsu's eyes.

But the appearance of the slate fragment surprised Natsu.

He thought that since Jynx was able to get hold of the Psychic slate shards by chance, the slate shards here should be Psychic slate, right?

Turns out he took it for granted.

It's true that what froze was slate shards, but it didn't come entirely from one type of slate.

See you later.

The palm-sized stone, presented in its entirety, was pitch-black in color, and what confirmed the senses was the powerful Dark-Type energy.

Dread plate!

Dark slate shards!

But Natsu wasn't disappointed either, because there were a few small shards interspersed all over the black slate shards.

For example, the pink Psychic shard from the Mind Plate, the turquoise Bug shard from the Insect Plate, the dark brown Soil shard from the Ground Plate, there were three types of four mixed shards in total.

Here he is.

When Arceus chose to blow up his own slate to quell the riots, the impact of successive slate explosions was enormous.

The reason why Natsu didn't know what kind it was when he saw it fall.

The slate shards at the center of the explosion mixed together because the impact was too strong.

And the piece that Jynx got should be one of the pieces that fell by accident.

Then there was another question for Natsu.

These combined fractions.

How to separate?

...

Hey hey hey
