Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"No wonder it got burned by lightning. It could have been a coincidence. But it could have been rebuilt. Why not?"

"Only the chosen ones can go in and climb the sita. Maybe we can go in but not up. So at least I want to know something else."

"I see, let's go now."

"Yes, I would, but"

Kimonos are difficult to move.Especially if you dress tightly like Sirona, the range of motion of your legs will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to move.

"I asked the clerk just now, and it seems like they have a rickshaw prepared for such a person."

Looking in the direction Kaim turned, he saw a rickshaw with Kairiky standing in front of it.

"Wow, there is such a thing."

"Wouldn't it be nicer if you were walking around town in this suit?"

"Yes"

Since Wonju has many tourists who look alike, kimonos and rickshaws are often seen.It's a bit noticeable, but it seems to be common in this city, as there are other similar tourists.

The two decided to travel by rickshaw and spoke to the man tending the store.

"How about renting a rickshaw?"

"Yes, can I ask you something?"

"Of course! Kairich can accompany you by pulling the car."

"No, it's okay. Baxamo wants to move."

Cam throws the ball and knocks Bassamo out.

Basamo, who hadn't fought much recently, wanted to move. He knew that this was an opportunity to move his body, so he volunteered to pull the cart.

"Since coming to the Johto area, I haven't seen many fights.

"Hey, I'll let you fight my Lucario later."

"I'm sorry, please. Then Basamo, please take care of me."

After the two got into the car, Basamo pulled the car.

The car moved forward while feeling a slight vibration.

"Hehe, it's very comfortable to ride."

"Yes, the previous mode of transportation is not bad."

There is not much space in the car.The distance between the two inevitably narrowed, so close that they could touch each other's shoulders.Kaim has always been expressionless, as if he didn't think of anything, which made Bai Nai feel resentful.I can't help but feel unfair when I think about the fact that I'm the only conscious being.

"that's right"

Noticing Sirona's gaze, Cam turned his gaze to Sirona and said.

"no others"

"Did you seriously say what you think about kimonos?"

"Yes, perhaps, too."

"I'm always being laughed at, do you think this kind of revenge is appropriate?"

"Once is important, Cam."

"So, uh, the one just now might be too big."

"that's right"

“I do think so. That’s why I say it. That’s all.”

"Can't you be a little more obedient than usual?"

"This is impossible."

Sirona lightly touched Cam with her elbow, and Cam responded immediately.

"stay"

"already"

"I'll do my best. I don't want to apologize, but I'll try to be as compliant as possible."

"What do you mean?"

"My emotions are not so cold that I don't realize it when I'm around a great beauty."

Sirona couldn't understand Cam's words for a while, but she immediately understood the meaning.Cam's face didn't change, but his ears turned red, and the blue earrings were more eye-catching.

Seeing this scene, Bai Nai sighed with satisfaction.But at the same time, needless to say, I blushed at Cam's words.

"Cam"

"what"

"Cam also looks good in a kimono, you look very dignified."

"Domo"

The car, carrying two blushing men, drove towards the burnt tower.

ー ー

"This is the tower that was burned."

In front of him was a collapsed building, and there were dilapidated buildings everywhere.

"It's harrowing to think that it was originally built almost exactly like the sita."

"I don't see a shadow."

"It is said that Yandi, Leigong, and Suicune were all born here."

"Does this feel like a sacred place?"

While talking, the two entered the house.

It was very quiet inside, with very few people.As long as you can't go in, it is estimated that not many ordinary people come here.

"It appears that this tower was originally called the 'Money Tower."

"Tin and money. I don't know what they have in common."

I've looked around, but there's nothing else.

There is only one sign in front of the tower, which is a very simple landscape.

“It says it clearly on the sign, but it’s just in the brochure.”

"I wanted to hear about the manager, but I didn't expect there was only one security guard."

"There are not many people in this place, there is no way."

"Of course you can't go in, and there doesn't seem to be anything left."

They've come all the way here, but can't seem to investigate, and can't hear the story, so they try to leave the burnt tower and go home.

"Oh? Are you the champion of the Sinnoh region?"

A man appeared before them.It was a man wearing a white cloak and a light purple suit.

"you?"

"My name is Minaki. I am one of the guardians of this burnt tower."

"manager?"

"It was different, but I am very familiar with the administrator of this tower. Now I am helping to manage it. For the time being, the administrator personally granted me management rights."

"Yes, I'm late. I think you know, but I'm Sirona and I'm an archaeologist."

"It's an honor to meet you. Where are you?"

"Cam. My assistant."

"I'm Cam."

"Is that so? Nice to meet you."

Cam grabbed the hand that was offered to him.

"Then what are you two doing? There aren't many people here."

"Oh, I'd like to do some research on this burned tower. I'm just curious as an archaeologist."

"Really? Then please go into the house and have a look."

"OK?"

“Yes. If you are an ordinary person it’s a different matter, but if you are a Sinnoh region champion, I’m glad you are interested in this tower.”

Enter the tower under Miki's guidance.

The inside had caved in, and a large hole had appeared in the floor.Perhaps the hole was struck by lightning.

"It's rough inside."

"This has been the case since the fire was extinguished. But strangely, it hasn't gotten any worse."

"Although it's raining so much?"

"Yes"

Everything gets worse.Even if it's a huge thing called society.However, it is said that the burnt tower will not deteriorate further.Might be hard to fathom since it's inherently dilapidated, but it's an exception considering how long it's been in this state.

"Sure enough, some kind of divine protection is at work."

"Yes. At first I thought it was Feng Wang, but obviously not."

"It seems that Rogia has been enshrined before, but does it matter?"

"Probably. I thought it was Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, but they were just born here. They may have some blessings, but I think Lugia's is the strongest."

Chapter 17 This Wine Is Terrible

As Miki said, the interior of the tower has a unique atmosphere.Not just because there was no one, but there was an atmosphere that something else was at work.
