Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 96 Send the Gods to the Volcano
Songshen Volcano is a volcanic island located in the sea. However, Songshen Volcano is already a dead volcano, so a large cemetery has been built on top of it.

It is currently considered the largest cemetery in the entire Hoenn region.

When Teng Shu went there, the Songshen Volcano was shrouded in fog. He stood on the yacht, looking at the Songshen Volcano in the distance without saying a word.

He didn't even bring Zoroark this time, he came here alone, and the reason why he didn't speak was very simple, because the atmosphere on the yacht was not very warm.

It could even be said that the atmosphere on the yacht was a little dead silent. No one spoke, their expressions were listless, and some people were even wiping tears silently. In such an atmosphere, Teng Shu didn't know what to say.

This yacht is specifically responsible for sending people who come to pay tribute to the dead to the God-Sending Volcano, so most of the people on the yacht are people who have lost their family members or Pokémon.

"The red and blue orbs, according to the information provided by Grandpa Shibata, have been passed down from a long time ago to the present day. They have always been enshrined in the Sending God Volcano as a sacred object to suppress the sea and comfort the dead." Teng Shu took out the information in his pocket and took a look at it.

The above contains the information that the old butler Shibata found. The greatest significance of the red and blue orbs in the current Hoenn is to be used as sacred objects for worship. However, the Pokémon League also knows the rumors about these two orbs. It is rumored that these two orbs are related to the super ancient beasts of Hoenn, so some personnel have been arranged to guard them.

There are even two retired gym owners in charge of guarding the ruby ​​and sapphire orbs, as well as a large team of Miss Junsha. The vigilance force is still very high. No wonder the water fleet and the lava team in the game would work together to snatch the ruby ​​and sapphire orbs.

The yacht slowly approached the shore, and Teng Shu got off the boat with the silent crowd. Looking at the huge volcano in front of him, Teng Shu felt inexplicably heavy in his heart.

The whole volcano seemed to be buried in a sad atmosphere.

Silence and deathly stillness were Teng Shu's first impression of the Songshen Volcano. The whirring of paper windmills and the ringing of wind chimes echoed around him, but even the sound of the wind chimes seemed to be filled with deep sadness.

Teng Shu walked into the volcano cemetery. The tombs here are divided into two parts. One part is the Pokémon-only burial area, where people's Pokémon are buried. However, the price is a little higher than other Pokémon cemeteries. Further up is the cemetery for humans, and the price is also a little higher than other places.

As soon as he walked in, Teng Shu saw several Miss Junshas patrolling in teams. They were wearing distinctive black uniforms and looked very solemn. They also had special instruments in their hands. Teng Shu knew that these were used to detect ghost Pokémon.

After all, this is a cemetery, where ghost Pokémon are particularly likely to be born, but the Alliance cannot allow these ghost Pokémon to live here. Otherwise, it would be too humorous for people to commemorate their families and their Pokémon, and then have a Pokémon battle in the middle.

And considering the special way that Ghost Pokémon was born, when people fight, they may wonder whether the Ghost Pokémon they are fighting against is a transformation of their family members?
This is even more hell.

So compared to the unguarded Mount Sendai in the game where ghost Pokémon run around everywhere, the real Mount Sendai is actually patrolled by special Gunsa, and they will send away the newly born ghost Pokémon. Only some ghost Pokémon that are determined to be completely incapable of Pokémon battles and who like to live in harmony with humans are allowed to stay here.

Teng Shu is now at a Pokémon cemetery. There are a lot of people here. Many of them are squatting in front of the tombstones, mumbling something, and placing some tributes in front of the tombstones while talking. Some people are silently stroking the tombstones, their eyes are red, and they are wiping tears there.

Teng Shu walked quickly. He felt bad seeing these scenes, so he quickly went up to the second floor.

The second floor is also a Pokémon cemetery, and there are also many people here. Teng Shu took a deep breath and continued to move forward. He climbed to the human cemetery in one breath, and here he has come out of the Sending God Volcano. Teng Shu can feel the sea breeze blowing on his body.

"Old Charizard, how about choosing this location for your grave in the future?" An old voice came out. Teng Shu's gaze fell on the front, where there was an old man who was pointing at the tombstone in front and talking with a smile. Next to the old man, stood an old Charizard.

It was an old Charizard. Even Teng Shu could see its old age. There were many scars on its body. These scars were so obvious that they were shocking.

"Roar" Charizard roared weakly, then lowered its head and rubbed the old man's cheek affectionately.

"Don't worry, when I die, I'll be buried next to you." The old man rubbed Charizard's head and smiled heartily.

Teng Shu stood in place. The aisle here was quite narrow, and the Charizard standing there completely blocked the way. However, Teng Shu did not urge him. He just stood there quietly.

"Eh? Young man, sorry, I'm blocking you." The old man noticed Teng Shu standing next to him. He said embarrassedly, and then used the Poké Ball to collect the Charizard. Teng Shu opened his mouth.

Is this Charizard so old that it can't even fly?

Pokémon will also die. They have their own lifespans. The lifespans of insect-type Pokémon are relatively short, while those of dragon-type Pokémon are long. However, the longest lifespan is still that of ghost-type Pokémon.

Ghost-type Pokémon almost never die of old age.

Pokémon like Charizard, which have both fire and flying attributes, have a mediocre lifespan.

"Thank you." Teng Shu thanked him and walked past the old man. His eyes fell on the old man's chest, where there was a badge hanging. Teng Shu's pupils shrank.

He recognized the badge.

Awarded by the Alliance to investigators who have made outstanding contributions to the Alliance, it is equivalent to the first-class merit in the previous life.

Teng Shu walked over, and the old man released the Charizard and talked about the future.

Teng Shu was not walking fast. He heard the old man mumbling about how his old friend couldn't even fly now, even though he used to be such a brave Pokémon. He was also mumbling about their past.

People buried their companions and themselves in the Farewell Volcano.
