Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 225 The Call of the Undersea Ruins

null--

The ethereal sound of wind rang in his ears, like ocean waves, flowing water, and bubbles. Riolu's waveguide released its energy, once again establishing a close connection with the Release Orb.

What is the world they've connected to like? Even after hearing the trainer's brief description, Riolu still couldn't imagine that there was another hidden world deep within this world where Pokémon and humans coexist.

The sound of the wind I heard was like it was blowing through a lush forest. The vast, deep blue forest was quiet and secluded, but in its deepest part it was filled with sound and waveguides, as if calling out and waiting for more than one thing.

Those are traces of waveguides left in the history of the forest.

Since long ago, deep within that forest have lived some Pokémon, eternally awaiting their master.

The Pokémon that appear in the Forest Plaza will surely become your companions.

If we send them deep into the forest...

They will be there, waiting for you to arrive.

The forest's waveguide and will told Riolu a story no one else knew. The blue-haired puppy's ears twitched in surprise as it tried to maintain the waveguide connection, while the wondrous world it saw with its eyes closed continued to expand.

A magnificent castle stands in the center of the fertile plains. In the beginning, there was only one enormous city. Gradually, more cities, towns, forests inhabited by Pokémon, and rivers were born, as if the entire Unova region originated from that city.
Then, near another forest, as if responding to the human heart, a huge rock was born, giving people endless trials.
An ancient tower was built, and the shadow of a giant dragon dwells within it.

To let the departed rest in peace, bells tolled from a new tower.
In another world, on distant mountains and lands, lies the land of the earth, where the shadow of a dragon once shone upon that ancient city.
On a certain mountain peak, the shadow of a giant lingers.
In the remote mountains, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of clouds.
Amidst raging fires and wetlands, the Holy Swordsmen appeared.
A strange void took shape, and three mushroom-shaped Pokémon wandered across the land of Unova, bestowing upon people knowledge, emotions, and will.
And there are many more incredible things.
Then, in an even stranger era
A colossal city, never before seen in people's memories or legends, has appeared.

The sounds of waves, foam, and echoes from the seabed—this colossal city and temple finally sank into the depths of the ocean.
"Aww!"

This is the clearer "unity" that comes from incorporating waveguides.
Come, courageous life! Come here!

The sudden sound of a waveguide startled Riolu!
But the blue-haired puppy was very brave and did not directly interrupt the waveguide!
"Aww!"

Who are you? Are you talking to me?
The waveguide of the Riolu began to rise and propagate to a very distant place!

[Brave ones, heed the King's words!]

[This is where the King is praised!]

Those who understand prime numbers can understand the truth of the world!

Come, life that hears the king's call, come to the ruins at the bottom of the sea!

"Woof!?"

Riolu kept its eyes tightly closed, trying to see more, but these blurry phantoms of the world gradually disappeared, and its aura began to become unstable. It wasn't until the voice of the moss sounded that Riolu suddenly opened its eyes.

"it is done!"

The original Release Jewel has turned into several thin medals, and Riolu is quite surprised to find that a long time has passed without it realizing it!
"Woof, woof!" Riolu told Lightmoss about the "world scene" it had just contacted in the waveguide, describing it vividly!
"What's going on? Undersea ruins? The Tree of Connection?" Lightmoss called out to the Tree of Connection in her heart, hoping that this embodiment of the will of Unova could provide an explanation. The previous news about the Tree of Connection had mentioned that it seemed to be related to the undersea ruins.

Undersea ruins! It was a massive temple slumbering in the ocean of Unova, seemingly dedicated to some supreme king of ancient Unova.

Based on the deciphered text in the game, this king is neither a black hero nor a white hero, but a king from a much earlier era who traveled with the "Dragon God of the Way" and is suspected of having fought a war with the Ancient City!
The king's name is suspected to be "Harmenia," which is the surname of both the Great N and Ghettoss, and may be one of their ancestors.

In the special episode, the humans living in the underwater ruins can hear the voices of Pokémon, making it a very special place.

[Note: The underwater ruins were used to worship the ancient supreme king and the divine dragon of the Dao. Here, all living beings could converse equally, and there were no barriers between life. However, due to the split between ideals and reality, subsequent history and the human heart also dispersed and perished. This record can no longer be described.]

[Note 2: The call of the underwater ruins has been heard, likely from the "Ancient Crown." Those who listen to the sound can travel to the underwater ruins, where they may begin a different kind of trial?]

[Note 3: Unova has many amazing places. If you can, go and see them, as mentioned before: Trial Rock, Arrowhead Forest, Tower of Paradise, Mount Ross, Reverse Mountain, the Giant's Cave where Kyurem hides, and Total War Factory. Every natural and urban place here holds secrets.]

[Note 4: The underwater ruins may be selecting "brave souls." On the first floor, you can see a message left by the king, hoping that brave souls will go to the underwater ruins to listen to the voice. However, for many years, no one has heard the voice. Because of your existence, Riolu, with the help of your power, generated a special aura, resonating with the Link Tree, and thus was able to notice the "unknown side" of Unova.]

[Note 5: There may be more than one Pokémon that can hear the call. Resonate with the nature and city of Unova. If you can go there, you will also receive a Release Orb, a special badge, and some unique gifts.]

The Tree of Connection has been explained in a relatively complete way, while the indescribable part is probably because people's hearts are scattered, and the Tree of Connection, which represents people's will, has also been destroyed, so it can no longer transmit voices to humans.

After that, the Black and White Dragons, enraged by the fact that the descendants of the heroes were fighting each other, destroyed the land of the Unova with lightning and fire.

"I can stay in United States until mid-September. It's okay, there's still plenty of time."

Previously, Leihe heard rumors of ruins here and came to explore, only to find nothing. She even complained in the group about how unreliable the rumors were. Now it seems that the Tomb Raider Teacher did not resonate with the will of the Unity at all, which is why he could not find the ruins.

But if you say that Teacher Leihe isn't brave, no, she really is quite brave. Despite having dozens of curses on her body, she still dares to go into tombs everywhere. Even the Ghost Museum Master of the Padia region exclaimed that she was not human at all.

"So, most of the scenes that Riolu saw in the waveguide are important items that Unova still has."

Deep beneath the Ross Mountains.

The character dots on the body of a pure white giant suddenly began to flash.

A powerful waveguide emanated from its body, as if sensing some kind of external, compatible waveguide. It moved its body slightly, and at this moment, the waveguide from Riolu gradually stopped.

The King of Giants stood there dumbfounded for a long time before he finally confirmed the disappearance of the wave.

It stood at attention again, motionless, but in its mind it saw a blurry phantom.

Humans and Pokémon.
