The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 207 King's Trial
"You'll see it soon." Ayaka smiled playfully at Anjie.

Then, under Anjie's surprised gaze, Xuanxiang took out a palm-sized gray slate from her backpack.

She pointed the slate at the wall, and suddenly a blue hexagram pattern began to appear on the slate.

Then the pattern projected a beam of light onto the wall, and at the same time, patterns emitting blue light began to appear on the wall.

Then cracks appeared along the lines. The originally smooth and flat wall became partially convex and partially concave, and finally a relief wall appeared in front of Anjie and Ayaka.

The relief depicts a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a Pokémon.

The Pokémon is Wave Lucario, and it is a mega evolved Lucario.

And that man looked a bit like a king.

Lucario and the human male raised their hands at the same time, holding up a ball together.

If Angel guessed correctly, the sphere should be the external wave force.

At the same time, there is a big palm print on the drill ball.

Ayaka pointed at the relief and said, "Look, this is the entrance to the ruins. If I'm right, only the messenger of the wave guide can open it."

Anjie keenly noticed that there was a line of words under the palm print, but he found that he didn't recognize any of them.

"What does this say?" he asked.

Ayaka recited word by word: "The power of the waveguide is with me!"

"You actually know him!" Anjie asked in surprise.

Ayaka looked dissatisfied when she heard this, "What do you mean? Is it strange that I know him?"

An Jie waved his hands quickly, "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! I just didn't expect it."

"Hmph~" Ayaka snorted coldly, and then explained, "This is the ancient writing of the Kalos region. I have done some research in this area."

Anjie gave her a thumbs up and said in an admiring tone: "Awesome!"

After the two of them fought against Team Flare together, they became much more familiar with each other and began to speak more casually.

Xuanxiang pointed at the palm print and said, "Put your hand on it and input the waveguide into it and try it."

Angel nodded and walked forward, putting on the waveguide gloves again. Without the gloves, with his current ability, he couldn't release the waveguide.

He placed his palm into the palm print and input the waveguide into it as Ayaka said.

Suddenly, a blue light emerged from the relief, and then the relief sank and a crack appeared.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, a stone door slowly opened in front of the two people. Behind the stone door was a long, bottomless stone staircase.

"It's open!" Ayaka said with surprise, "It's finally open."

God knows how much effort she put into finding someone with the power of wave guidance.

An Jie said: "Let's go in and take a look."

"Okay!" Ayaka nodded.

Then the two of them walked into the stone gate one after the other.

"Just~"

"Ah woo~"

Snorlax and Infernape each followed their own master (trainer).

The light behind the stone gate is very dim, unlike the luminous moss outside, so it does not affect vision even without any help.

However, Xuanxiang was prepared. She took out a flashlight and turned it on, and the light around her instantly became brighter.

"I wonder what's down here." Ayaka said as she walked.

Angel said: "I hope we can find something surprising so that our trip won't be in vain."

"Yes!" Ayaka nodded.

It was unknown how long this relic had been sealed in the dust. As Angel and his companions walked along the way, they found nothing except the smell of decay that permeated the entire place.

The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time before the downward stone stairs finally disappeared, replaced by a long, straight corridor.

Unlike the empty stone staircase, the walls on both sides of this corridor are carved with various forms of Riolu.

Some are laughing out loud, some are looking sad, some are roaring angrily...each one is extremely vivid.

"The one who carved these must have been a master," said Anjie.

As Ayaka walked and looked around, she couldn't help but complain: "Could the owner of this ruins be some Riolu-loving maniac?"

Angel smiled and said, "Riolu is so cute, it's okay for me to like him a little."

Ayaka muttered, "This is no longer something that can be described as love."

Soon they reached the end of the corridor.

It was dark at the end of the corridor, and Angel and the others couldn't see clearly what was ahead at first.

But the moment they stepped out of the corridor, they saw blue flames ignited one after another, and Angel and the others finally saw the environment in front of them clearly.

This is a huge circular space, like the hall of a palace.

There are many small boat-shaped lamps installed on the walls of the hall, and a candle spirit is nestled on each lamp.

Those faint blue flames are the candlelight above the candle spirit's head.

"Mmm~~"

"Mmm~~"

"Mmm~~"

……

Dozens of candle spirits looked at Anjie, Snorlax, Ayaka and Flareon.

"Gang~" Master, they are a little scary.

Snorlax said while pulling Angie's clothes.

"Ah~~" And Ayaka's Flame Lion let out a roar.

Infernape is a king Pokémon, it won’t be scared by such a small scene!

"Hey~~~"

At this moment, the chandelier hanging above Angel and the others' heads suddenly shook, and then floated down from the dome.

It turned out that it was not a chandelier, but a crystal lamp spirit disguised as a chandelier.

The crystal lamp spirit floated in front of the two of them, its golden eyes gleaming.

Anjie and Xuanxiang looked alert, fearing that the crystal lamp spirit would suddenly attack.

At the same time, Snorlax and Infernape also stepped forward and protected Ange and Ayaka behind them.

However, the crystal lamp spirit did not launch an attack. Instead, after looking at the two of them, it spoke telepathically:

"Trial... Trial begins... Trial begins..."

Telepathy? The two were shocked at first, and then they wondered:

Trial? What trial?
Before Anjie and Xuanxiang could figure it out, they saw the crystal lamp fire spirit fly away, and was replaced by two shield sword monsters appearing in front of them.

"To Lu~"

"To Lu~"

The two shield sword monsters roared, then drew their swords at the same time and attacked Anjie and Ayaka.

Seeing this, Ayaka of course launched a counterattack without hesitation, "Fire Lion, spray fire."

"Awoo~~~" The Fire Lion roared, leaped into the air, opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of flame towards one of the Shield Sword Monsters.

At the same time, without Angel's command, Snorlax stomped one foot on the ground, jumped into the air with great elasticity, and swung his flaming fist at the Shieldsword Monster.

Fire fist!
Upon seeing this, the two Shield Sword Monsters quickly put away their attacking stance, transformed from sword form to shield form, and activated their King's Shield skill.

The characteristic of the Shield Blade is combat switching, which means that when using attack skills, it will be in sword form, and when using the King's Shield, it will change into shield form.

In sword form, the racial stats of Aegisblade are concentrated on attack and special attack, while in shield form, the racial stats are concentrated on physical defense and special defense.

Among the currently known Pokémon, the only one with the battle switching feature is Aegisblade.

A transparent barrier appeared in front of the two Shieldsword Monsters, blocking the attacks of Flamemon and Snorlax respectively.

As soon as Flamemon and Snorlax landed, the two Shieldsword monsters transformed back into sword form. They held their swords upright and bright light burst out from the swords.

It's a fighting skill holy sword!
Coincidentally, both Infernape and Snorlax are restrained by Fighting-type skills.

Seeing that the Shield Blade Monster's holy sword was about to chop down, Ayaka shouted, "Flame Lion, get out of the way."

And Angie and Snorlax looked at each other, then nodded to each other in tacit understanding.

"Awoo~~" The Flame Lion obeyed Ayaka's instructions and jumped away from the spot.

There was a loud bang, and a deep sword mark was left where the Fire Lion had just stood.

"Gang~~" Snorlax raised his hands on the spot, his round hands exuding cold air, and he actually performed a performance of catching a blade with his bare hands.

Click~~~
The blade of Aegisblade was caught between Snorlax's palms and quickly frozen by ice.

The Shield Blade Monster tried to pull the sword out of Snorlax's hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't succeed. At this moment, Angie punched the Shield Blade Monster from the side.

With a clang, the Shield Sword Monster was knocked away with a scream and fell heavily to the ground.

Angel and Snorlax took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy. With a flash of their bodies, they turned into afterimages and disappeared on the spot. In the blink of an eye, they arrived next to the Shield Sword Monster that had just flown up, and surrounded it from the left and right.

Before it could react, the master and disciple punched out at the same time.

With a clang, the Shield Sword Monster lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

(Personal setting: The attack launched by Anjie using the waveguide is not a fighting attribute, but an attributeless attack. It cannot restrain anyone, nor can it be restrained by anyone.

Everything has a waveguide, which has no attributes. It is only when it is used as a skill by Pokémon that it is given an attribute.)
At this time, the crystal lamp spirit descended from the sky, constantly chanting: "Trial successful! Trial successful!"

So what exactly is the trial? Anjie wondered.

Just when he was about to take Snorlax to support Ayaka, he was stopped by Crystal Lamp Spirit.

"No one else is allowed to interfere in the trial, no one else is allowed to interfere!"

Anjie had to stop when he heard that.

This crystal lamp spirit looks like it's not easy to mess with.

However, Ayaka does not need Ange's help. Although her Infernape is not as powerful as Absol, it is still not weak.

In addition, the Fire and General-type Flame Lion's attributes completely restrain the Steel and Ghost-type Shield Blade Monster, so the Flame Lion soon won the victory.

"The trial was successful! The trial was successful!" The crystal lamp flew to Xuanxiang like a spirit and said to her.

Ayaka walked over to Anjie with the Flame Lion and whispered, "So what is the trial?"

Anjie shook his head: "You, the discoverer of the ruins, don't know, how should I know!"

Then the two were surprised to find that the crystal lamp fire spirit's eyes emitted blue light, and the candle light spirits nestling in the lamp flew up and landed on the ground, neatly lined up in two rows, as if lining up to welcome Anjie and Xuanxiang.

All I heard was the telepathic crystal lamp spirit saying, "Please come forward to claim your trial rewards!"

Anjie and Ayaka looked at each other, and followed Snorlax and Flamemon along the passage between the two rows of Candlelight Spirits.

When they reached the deepest part of the space, they saw a cylindrical stone platform, and there seemed to be something on it.

When they walked in, they found that they were two sparkling crowns inlaid with various gems.

Inlaid in the center of the crown is a super evolution stone.

The two crowns are exactly the same. Including the super evolution stone, each is inlaid with a total of nine gems of different colors. They are obviously extremely valuable at first glance.

"There are words here!" Xuanxiang suddenly said while looking at the front of the stone platform.

An Jie looked over and found that it was still an ancient text that he did not recognize, so he asked:

"What did you write?"

Ayaka looked at it and replied, "This is a place of trial, prepared by the kingdom for its two sons."

Anjie looked puzzled, "Then why are the things here still here? Did the king's son fail the trial?"

Ayaka shook her head, "Then I don't know, it's not written here."

At this time, the crystal lamp spirit flew over the two people's heads and explained: "Because the trial has not yet begun, the country has perished."

An Jie was surprised and asked, "Doesn't that mean you have been guarding here all the time?"

The crystal lamp spirit nodded: "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Anjie and Xuanxiang couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at the crystal lamp spirits' dedication to their duties.

"Take the reward of the trial and leave!" the crystal lamp spirit urged the two.

Upon hearing this, Anjie and Ayaka each picked up a crown.

Later, from the explanation of the crystal lamp spirit, the two learned that the reward originally prepared by the king was not only two crowns, but also two Riolu eggs.

However, over the long years, the two Riolu eggs had already hatched and left the trial ground.

Crystal Lamp Spirit said, "But I have another Pokémon prepared for you."

Then, at its signal, the shield sword monsters that had just been defeated by Angel and his team reappeared, each carrying a single sword sheath.

"To Lu~~"

At the signal from the two shield sword monsters, two single sword sheaths flew to Anjie and Ayaka.

The crystal lamp spirit said: "I have selected two single sword sheaths with the most outstanding qualifications from the tribe of hard shield sword monsters and let them follow you!"

As it finished speaking, single-sword, double-sword and shield-sword monsters appeared one after another in the darkness.

They are all members of the Aegisblade clan.

They all looked at Anjie and Xuanxiang, as if to see whether the two were worthy of Du Jianshao's following.

It is said that the Shield Blade has the ability to see at a glance whether a person has the qualities to be a king.

After that, the crystal lamp spirit said to the two sword sheaths: "Come on, start choosing the master you want to protect!"

Angel looked at the two sword sheaths in front of him and was surprised to find that one of them was shining.

The blade of the ordinary single sword scabbard is white, the ribbon on the hilt is generally dark blue, the end is light blue, and the eyeball is also blue.

The blade of the Shining Single Sword Sheath is red, the ribbon on the hilt is red overall, purple at the end, and the eyeballs are also purple.

In fact, the eyeball of the sword sheath is its true body.

The eyeballs at the connection between the hilt and the blade of the two scabbards moved back and forth, constantly looking at Anjie and Xuanxiang. After a long time, they each floated to the side of their chosen masters.

The shining single sword sheath chose Anjie.

The ordinary single sword scabbard chose Ayaka.

"Please give me your guidance in the future, Dujianshao!" Ayaka said happily.

She didn't mind whether the scabbard of her own sword was shiny or not.

"Yo~~" Du Jianshao narrowed his eyes and nodded, and wrapped the ribbon on the hilt of the sword around Xuanxiang's arm.

Seeing this, Anjie also said to the shining sword sheath beside him: "Sword sheath, please give us more guidance in the future!"

"Yo~" The shining sword sheath flew around Angel's head happily, looking like it was in a good mood.

Of course, it has wanted to go out and take a look for a long time.

"We have got everything we need, you can leave now." Seeing this, the crystal lamp spirit urged the two to leave quickly.

The trial is over, and this place will completely be their territory from now on. The crystal lamp spirits don't want to waste time with humans.

Seeing this, Anjie and Ayaka had no choice but to take the Pokémon away from the ruins. At the same time, the stone slab that Ayaka used to open the ruins was also taken back by the Crystal Lamp Spirit.

Obviously they don't want anyone to disturb them again.

After leaving the ruins, Ayaka held the crown in her hand, looked at the Mega Evolution Stone inlaid on it with confusion and asked:
"What Pokémon's Mega Evolution Stone is this? Is it Lucario's?"

Anjie glanced at the Mega Evolution Stone inlaid on his crown, then looked at Ayaka's, then shook his head and said, "Neither!"

Obviously, even if he is a king, he cannot collect super evolution stones just by wanting to.

Neither of the two Mega Evolution Stones belongs to Lucario.

Ayaka looked at Anjie in surprise and said, "Can you recognize what Pokémon's Mega Evolution Stone this is?"

Anjie nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, yours is the Mega Evolution Stone of Kogure, and mine is the Mega Evolution Stone of Gengar."

Angie himself didn't expect that what he got was actually Gengar's Mega Evolution Stone.

Hearing Anjie's words, Xuanxiang was delighted, "Great, I was just thinking about conquering the big-mouthed kid!"

Anjie said: "Then let's go see the big-mouthed kids!"

It just so happened that he also wanted to conquer Sun Rock.

"Well, let's go, let's go!" Ayaka couldn't wait to walk ahead.

Soon, Angie and his friends found Big Mouth Wa and the others again.

After surviving the disaster, Mouthfeather, Sol and many Pokémon hid deep in the Shining Caves.

After seeing the big mouth baby, Xuanxiang said straight to the point: "Big Mouth Baby, do you want to come with me?"

Big Mouth Baby was stunned when he heard this. He looked at his friends and then at Xuanxiang, with an indecisive look on his face.

At this time, a rock crab walked up and pushed the big-mouthed baby towards Xuanxiang.

The big-mouthed kid looked back in surprise, and saw everyone looking at him with encouragement.

After experiencing this incident, they discovered that it is a good thing to have a trainer who is willing to protect them.

If Big Mouth follows Ayaka, he will not only not have to suffer from hunger, but also get shelter. This is much happier than staying in the Shining Cave.

They hope that Big Mouth Baby can be happy.

Feeling everyone's thoughtfulness, tears welled up in Big Mouth Baby's eyes.

Finally, it mustered up the courage and threw itself into Xuanxiang's arms.

Xuanxiang hugged the big mouth baby and said, "Big mouth baby, we are partners from now on!"

The big-mouthed kid burst into laughter and nodded vigorously.
