Chapter 582 Revisiting Kanto (1)
First Island.
Of the seven islands, this one has the longest and most complex terrain.
It is also the island with the most tourists.
The torch relay is currently underway.
Historically, the Quartz Plateau at the foot of Silver Mountain has been the site of the Alliance Congress, where the sacred flame has always burned.
That wasn't ordinary flame; it was the flame of a Moltres!
In the world of Pokémon, there are things that can be associated with immortality.
The phoenix is one, and the other is the molten bird.
Unfortunately, such a grand ceremony was nothing more than a show.
Moltres no longer roams Mount Lamp...
Ye Kai's family is on their way to Dengshan Mountain in the north of the island.
He had assumed that the first island wasn't very big either.
But as it turns out, Ye Kai was wrong.
The first island is huge!!
In the original game, this was just a canyon called the Hot Road.
In the real world, this place is actually a complex and intricate desert mountain area.
It also has countless small caves.
Some of these caves are inhabited by wild spirits.
Some have been developed for tourism.
Without exception, there are hot springs in every cave.
How are you feeling?
[Hmm... I feel much better after soaking in the hot springs here...]
After resting for the past few days, Hongyan has finally recovered her level 70 aura.
The hot spring medicinal baths she's taking now are a great help to her.
She first drank the medicinal wine, which accelerated her blood circulation and opened her pores.
Soaking in the hot spring again now would be considered suicidal...
[This place was specifically sought out by me; the essence of sulfur and the natural energy of fire are extremely concentrated.]
[Don't you dare go to this kind of hot spring without me with you, you'll die!]
Not all hot springs are suitable for bathing.
Some hot springs have excessive levels of sulfur and other highly toxic substances.
Add to that the high temperature, and if a person were to soak in it, they would quickly be reduced to ashes!
In previous years, quite a few tourists have gone missing or been injured or killed after mistakenly entering hot springs that are not allowed to be bathed in.
It's just that Ye Kai has the divine authority of "concept poison".
He altered the effects of these ferocious fire poisons.
Therefore, for people like Hongyan and Yeyao, whose innate essence belongs to the fire element, this is a great tonic!
[Dad... I feel a little dizzy...]
[You've been soaking for too long, of course you're dizzy. Go out now, your mom and I will be out soon.]
[Um. ]
……
The so-called "coming out soon" is true.
Ye Yao waited and waited, for a full hour and more.
By the time Ye Kai emerged from the hot spring cave, it was nearly dusk.
Where did that girl go?
Ok?
Goodness, in such a short time, he's already caught a Rapidash...
At this moment, Ye Yao was riding on the back of the Fiery Horse.
It was only through sheer power and pressure that this fierce wild horse was subdued.
But she still couldn't learn to ride a horse.
Ye Kai instantly teleported to her side.
That's not how you ride a horse.
[Do you think that once you sit on a horse's back, everything will be fine?]
Isn't that how it is?
Ye Yao countered with a question.
[Look carefully, it should be like this.]
Ye Kai mounted his horse.
[Instead of sitting on the horse with your buttocks, you use the inside of your thighs to grip the horse's back, and sit on it loosely...]
[Also, if you really want to ride it, you'll need a pair of stirrups and a saddle. The hooves of the Flaming Horse also need to be repaired and horseshoeed.]
Remember, nothing is easy if you want to do something well; it always requires effort.
As he spoke, he demonstrated how to squat in a horse stance.
This can be considered the basic skill of Chinese martial arts.
His original intention was simply to ride a horse!
In recent years, horseback riding has not become the mainstream activity.
It gradually turned into a skill of stabilizing one's position.
That is a departure from pragmatism.
Ye Yao was very clever; she learned how to do the horse stance in just over ten minutes.
[Well, it's alright. As long as you do six sets of horse stance exercises every day, 10 minutes per set, you can try riding a horse after two to three weeks.]
[This is so troublesome, I might as well just release the Rapidash...]
Ye Kai patted her head lightly again.
Don't give up halfway through things. Your biggest weakness is that you only have a three-minute attention span.
……
Teaching Ye Yao to ride a horse took up some more time.
After sending the mother and daughter to the Golden Kingdom, he planned to enter the ruins at the foot of Mount Denghuo alone.
"Hey! No entry ahead, this is Team Rocket's territory..."
"Huh?! Where is everyone?"
The Rockets soldier clearly saw a guy walking towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Why has it disappeared again?!
Could it be... a ghost?!
After all, strange occurrences are not uncommon in the Pokémon world.
However, those usually happen in abandoned mansions or similar places. It's unheard of for paranormal events to occur in a volcano!
Ye Kai easily made the guards at the cave entrance ignore his presence.
However, the stone chamber inside remained completely dark.
Only eight stone tablets are arranged in the center.
Everything...all things...have their own meaning.
Life always has a way out.
[The Four Forces That Shape the World...]
[One is electricity, which triggers magnetic force...transforming all things.]
[One is the wind, which exerts gravity...destroying everything.]
[One of them is fire, which observes the heavens...and defines all things.]
[One of them is gold, which bestows value... elevating all things to a higher level.]
This is a fundamental principle, one that must be carefully considered...
Ye Kai frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Magnetism, gravity...
Observation, empowerment...
He seemed to have come into contact with all of these forces.
The spirit breaks through the level cap by manipulating magnetic fields.
The phoenix's divine fire... originates from the "royal aura" empowered by Saifuhao...
There's also Lugia's recently awakened "Gravity Wind".
Could these conditions be the key to unlocking some mystery?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it too much.
Obtaining the ruby is of utmost importance.
As a result, Ye Kai searched high and low, trying various methods.
Unexpectedly, they were trapped in an endless loop in the room with eight stone tablets, unable to go to the next level or leave.
Since that's the case, he might as well try destroying these eight stone tablets.
As a result, Sneasel, Lapras, and other Pokémon tried countless methods, but none of them could destroy it.
There wasn't even a single crack on the stone tablet!
It's really hard.
But he had no other choice; he had tried all the other methods.
The only possibility that has not yet been tried is destroying these eight stone tablets.
"Goooooo!!!"
[Smash these eight stone tablets!]
He simply released Lugia.
[A few mere stone tablets, and I have to do it myself?]
[Stop talking nonsense, try it first and then talk.]
The stone chamber wasn't large; it was a miracle that it could even hold the memory of the enormous bird, Lugia.
It had no choice but to clench its wings into fists and unleash a final impact that blasted into a stone tablet.
"Boom! B ...
It was a grand gesture, but ultimately futile.
The stone tablet trembled violently, but remained completely undamaged.
This is abnormal, very abnormal!!
If other Pokémon's moves don't work, that's one thing, but Lugia's attacks are also ineffective. This stone tablet is definitely no ordinary item!
[I already said, let's talk after we've taken action...]
[No... I've thought of a solution.]
This time, it was Lugia who noticed something.
[What's the meaning?]
[Electricity…wind…fire…metal, try transferring these broken stones to the Golden Kingdom, and I'll find a way to destroy them!]
yes!!
If something can't be destroyed, why not try storing it in a golden land?
We did it right away.
Ye Kai pressed his palm against one of the stone slabs, attempting to absorb it into his body.
Surprisingly, these hard stone tablets had a strange, slippery feel to them...
"Cough!!"
The stone tablet transformed into an unknown totem, refusing to be accepted by him.
Ye Kai simply followed the same method and collected all the remaining stone tablets.
As a result, all the stone tablets turned into unknown totems, which then hovered in the stone chamber, constantly emitting eerie cries.
After a short while, the surrounding environment changed again and became bright.
This time, the small stone chamber could no longer accommodate Lugia, so Ye Kai quickly put it into the Golden Kingdom to prevent it from being crushed.
The ruby was placed on the altar in the center of the room.
Ye Kai decisively took it away.
"Boom! B ...
As soon as the ruby left the altar, the entire Lampfire Mountain trembled violently, and it seemed that this cave was about to collapse!
The bright stone chamber now has only one exit, so this is the only way to go.
Then he rushed out of the stone chamber.
Then we arrived at the entrance of a cave halfway up Mount Denghuo...
It's incredible.
But there's no need to guess; we definitely can't go back to that stone chamber.
There are no Moltres here anymore, so there's no point in staying any longer.
Finally, after strolling around that treasure beach, you can leave the Seven Islands and head to Kanto.
……
Treasure Beach, being full of good stuff, naturally attracted the attention of Team Rocket.
So much so that the Rocket Group bought it and started digging day and night; it's no longer the treasure beach it once was...
[Sigh, that's just how people are. Once the other party knows your intentions, you'll be subjected to all sorts of difficulties and targeted.]
Sitting on Lugia's back, Ye Yao suddenly spoke with emotion, a child speaking like an adult.
[Oh? How so?]
[Dad, look, aren't Treasure Beach and Icefall Cave the best examples?]
[Until you want to go treasure hunting or open up tourist attractions, you can preemptively seize resources, then raise prices or take them for yourself...]
Ye Kai smiled but didn't say anything.
Although it was night, the coastline of the Kanto continent was already visible.
This is... Crimson Lotus Island?!
It appears to be the location of a Fire-type gym.
This island is so huge that it's more like an island nation than an island!
When talking about Crimson Lotus Island, the most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the enormous Crimson Lotus Volcano!
This world is the original Pokémon world, magnified a thousand times.
Therefore, many place names and scenic spots were things that Ye Kai had never heard of or seen in his previous life's games and animations.
Take this Red Lotus Volcano for example, I really don't know what it's like inside.
However, he had just come from Denghuoshan, and since it's a volcano, he was bound to feel a bit tired of it, so let's skip that.
He planned to go to the town center of Honglian Town to find a guesthouse to spend the night.
The next day.
Honglian Town is located on the outskirts of the town.
Inside an abandoned Western-style mansion.
This should be one of the secret research labs where Team Rocket once studied Mewtwo in the original work.
The Western-style mansions on the surface were merely a cover.
But now, this place has been burned down and abandoned.
So some wild elves have made this place their home.
Instead of demolishing the Western-style mansion, people simply used it as a monster-hunting spot.
I hope to catch some interesting Pokémon here.
Rare creatures like Magmar, Chansey, Ditto, and even the unique Koffing and Grimer that can be rolled into gold beads, all inhabit this place.
Popular Pokémon like Arcanine and Vulpix have been spotted around the mansion from time to time...
In an abandoned underground research institute.
Ye Kai looked around, sensing everything, to see if there was anything interesting left behind.
Ok? !
A diary?
Ye Kai used his X-ray vision to see under the desk in an office, where a notebook was hidden in a secret compartment of a drawer.
What's that little black notebook of mine?
He carefully took it out and then looked at it.
[November 5,
The team ventured deep into the "Southern Lands" and finally found clues to the Kingdom of El Dorado on the Asson River...
But we failed, suffering heavy losses; more than half of our expedition members and researchers perished on the ground—a truly heroic death…
If I return empty-handed, I will have no face to see Lord Sakaki.
Therefore, they had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and continue searching for other valuable things along the Asson River...
[November 21,
There's always a way out; the path is right beneath your feet!
I named the newly discovered pink sprite Dream!
It should be the rarest elf in the world, no, it's a legendary calamity!!!
[November 21,
A child was born in the dream.
We named it Mewtwo...
[November 19,
Xia and I had a technical disagreement. That damned traitor dared to steal Mewtwo's physical body and research data!
Lord Sakaki, please rest assured, I will never let him get away with this!!
The diary ends here, with most of it remaining blank.
So, the so-called Xia is Xia Bo.
And the owner of the diary...
Ye Kai turned to the first page.
Fuji...
In other words, he is the old man Fuji from the Mewtwo Strikes Back movie?
No... it's too early to make that guess. This person might still be at the Elf House in Lavender Town.
Ye Kai carefully put away the proper notebook and then continued to wander around the underground research institute.
Then he saw that the bio-machines, which were still powered on, were still operating.
A horrifying truth has emerged.
Ditto is being produced in an endless stream.
And the raw material was actually purified sludge?!
That's terrifying.
It turns out that Team Rocket used all the Grimer that couldn't produce gold or evolve to produce Ditto!
Then Ditto appeared out of thin air.
No wonder there are no historical records of Ditto in any part of the world 50 years ago!
And these Dittos are not the final product yet.
They're nothing but "all-purpose mud" for cloned elves!
These machines are still running today.
The reason why Team Rocket has a constant stream of Pokémon is probably because they create them out of thin air through cloning!
It's an incredibly profitable business!
Ye Kai naturally brought all of this evil black technology into the Golden Kingdom.
Not taking advantage of a good deal is the act of a bastard!
If this way, any Pokémon you want in the future can be copied as long as you have a template, wouldn't that be incredibly powerful?!
……
Although Red Lotus Island is vast, Ye Kai didn't explore every part of it thoroughly.
He only focuses on the important things when doing things.
Next, it's time to head to the Kanto mainland for a visit. I'm getting a bit tired of just exploring the islands all the time.
Looking down from high above.
The earth was a vibrant green, brimming with the breath of spring, a scene both dreamlike and enchanting, like a fairytale kingdom.
After a two-hour flight, we finally saw the "PalmNew Town".
The town is quite large, and highly skilled individuals like Professor Oak reside in the heart of the town!
However, before meeting Professor Oak.
Ye Kai was more interested in another ordinary couple.
You are naturally Rebecca's uncle and aunt...
He needs to confirm something.
Does Rebecca actually exist in this dimension, and at what point in time does she reside?
