...
Another day passed.
Natsu leads the Pokémon to the entrance the ruins they stumbled across earlier.
The reason why it is said to be a ruins is because there is a stone pillar carved by humans at the entrance, and it is impossible for Normal's Pokémon to do such a boring thing.
As for whether this means that there are still human beings living in this alien dimension, it is unknown.
If there were humans alive, it had little to do with Natsu.
The entrance to the ruins isn't big enough, so Natsu has to put the Tyrantrum into the Pokeball.
He actually had a habit of using the Tyrantrum to walk all this time.
The ferocious appearance of the Tyrantrum, its undisguised "domineering side leakage" can effectively avoid the harassment of some predators wandering around without territory.
And the huge body and powerful strength of Tyrantrum are absolutely outstanding carrying tools.
It is definitely not because of some "dragon riding plot" or because of wanting to "pretend".
Yeah.
Take Beedrill and the four of them, and Cherrim, into the dark space of the ruins.
Because the flashlight has long been dead, the lighting here can only use torch.
Natsu also has a few in his backpack as spares.
The Resin obtained from some special plants is very flammable and lasts for a long time. There is absolutely no problem with this torch for a day, and it is just to be prepared for a few more.
After Kadabra left a Psychic "anchor" at the entrance, the exploration of the ruins officially began.
This space is very close to the ancient times, and the only thing that can be called relics in ancient times is super ancient.
Natsu didn't know if he would find anything good, but he had some hope.
Because he didn't know the specific situation in the ruins, and he didn't know what Pokemon would live in them, so early exploration had to be very careful.
He wasn't ready to explore the ruins in a day, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Ow—"
Doublade's fine red satin gently pulled on Natsu, signaling that it felt the Ghost Type's energies getting stronger after entering the ruins.
Natsu nods, no surprises.
It's normal to have plenty of Ghost Type Pokémon lingering in an unexplored ruin like this.
"Be careful," Natsu advised.
This period of time is too smooth, even if you consciously strengthen your vigilance, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur unconsciously.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-
The sound of slow footsteps echoed in the small hallway.
The surrounding walls can be seen clearly under the dim light of the fire, and the mutilated frescoes are already fuzzy, and some stones are piled up in the corners in a messy way.
The quaint Ground entirely made of stone bricks is covered with thick dust, and every step of Natsu's fall is accompanied by the appearance of this footprint.
After walking in the passage for about 3 minutes, the field of vision becomes wider.
An arc-shaped dome is at least ten meters high, and in the middle is a dark pit, and the pit has a large number of stone gates on the wall with almost equal intervals, and a spiral staircase spirals through it. To the depths of the underground.
The ruins don't seem to be large.
The premise is that this pit has a bottom.
Natsu didn't go directly to the ground, but started from about two dozen doors each.
The stone gate is pushed slowly.
The screeching screeching of teeth indicates that it has not been opened for a long time.
A large amount of dust and small rock fragments fall off when pushed.
After opening the door, there is a small space in front of you.
A broken stone bed, a stone that looks like a desk, and some old vases and other Decorate items in the corners and on the table, but unfortunately they are all broken.
Otherwise, these vases alone, Natsu took out to Pokémon world, it is estimated that there will be many antique collectors snapping up, even Alliance will definitely be very interested in them.
All human beings are like this, constantly developing new technologies while continuously tracing history.
It seems that they want to use these histories to prove the high development and success of today's society, and some seem to want to get some information or lessons from history.
But the only lesson humanity can learn from history is that humanity can never absorb lessons from history.
The room is not big, taking in the entire scene at a glance.
Open the second room after exiting.
Next is the third room.
In the fourth stone chamber, Natsu finally found something.
It is a book made from the hide and paper of an unknown creature. It should have undergone special treatment so that it can be preserved until now.
The book is not thick, every page is densely packed Earth Book with some words he can't understand, and some pictures are attached.
He couldn't read the text above, but from the pictures, he could vaguely read some information.
It looks like a Pokémon is depicted above, but the appearance of Pokémon is not clear, so it is difficult to judge what kind it is.
However, what made Natsu's heart chill the most was the fact that this Pokémon's body was divided into several parts, each of which was accompanied by some incomprehensible descriptions and remarks.
He didn't know whether the ancients really decomposed this Pokémon, or just made theoretical guesses and drawings.
But the description seems to be very detailed. If it is not broken down, with the technology and ability of ancient people, it is reasonable to get such detailed data and annotations.
In other words
"It's very likely that people were ancient or super-ancient, and this is the research base for Pokémon."
Regardless of the generation, including In modern times, the research on Pokémon has never stopped.
It's just that modern people can save a lot of unnecessary steps because of the more advanced technology.
However, the ancients could only use the most Primal and cruelest methods.
Standing in silence for a long time, Natsu put away the book, and waited to return to the Pokémon world to see if he could parse the contents of the above text through some methods.
After a few more empty rooms.
Natsu found something in the room again.
A round stone the size of a volleyball, covered with dust.
But when Natsu cleared all the dust off it, he was surprised.
"Ancient Poké Ball?"
Yes, this volleyball-sized Pokeball is big, but not too heavy, the mass it should have for its actual size It is obviously inconsistent, and some shadows of modern Poké Ball can be vaguely seen from the texture above.
There is no doubt that this is an ancient Poké Ball.
The ancients mastered the way of capturing Pokémon and the making of Poké Ball earlier than modern people, although compared with modern Poké Ball, their techniques are a bit rough, and they use method is also different.
The ancients used an Imprison-like way.
In modern times, space technology is used.
But one thing is certain, the Poké Balls that are popular now are based on the ancient Poké Balls.
It's just that modern use of various metal materials, even Berry materials, makes Poké Balls lighter and more functional.
Natsu still remembers when reading the original book, there was an episode where Ash used a large rock Poké Ball to imprison Claydol who wanted to destroy the world, which was evidence of the ancient Poké Ball, Poké Ball with the Prison method.
And now, the one in Natsu's hands is likely to be the ancient Poké Ball.
"Will it be there?" Natsu's eyes changed.
Can ancient or even ultra-ancient Pokémon survive in Poké Ball until now?.
