Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?

And a line of prompts suddenly popped up in front of her.

[Special Item: Reversal Key]

[Introduction: Contains a terrifying aura and a sense of oppression... The specific effects are unknown. Perhaps approaching the location of that space will produce strange reactions?]

Shirona was very sure that this key had no connection with the black mist.

Because the fog around her gave her a feeling of horror, ominousness and uneasiness.

But the luster on this key only looks like...an incomparable majesty.

It’s as if... this is a key belonging to a king!

So, this thing...

What exactly is it used to open?

There was still no answer to this question, so Sirona could only carefully put the item away.

Returned to the second floor of the mansion.

The moment she saw Rotom again, he flew out from behind the TV and threw himself into her arms.

[Boss, you're back, Loto. I thought I'd never see you again, Loto... wuwuwu.]

Sirona:......

[Boss, how about it, did you find anything, Loto? ]

Rotom circled around Sirona again, making sure she was in good condition, before asking again.

Sirona briefly told Rotom about her findings.

After hearing this, the latter nodded, showing great agreement.

"That's right, it's better not to get close to such a scary place, Loto..."

[But the key you mentioned... I think I know Eroto! ]

When Shirona heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

This Rotom... can actually provide useful information?

But Shirona thought again, this Rotom has been in the mansion for such a long time, so it should be normal for it to know something about the situation inside.

As expected, just as Sirona had expected, Rotom continued to speak.

"I think I've seen this key before in the hands of a previous owner of this house. It was given to me along with a map..."

"That guy seemed to value this key very much, Lotor. He even hired several powerful trainers to escort it..."

"But I don't know where the key went... I didn't expect you to find it again. You're amazing, Boss, Loto."

"As for that map, I do know where it is... It should still be there... Loto... But I suggest you don't look for it, Boss..."

When Sirona heard this, she immediately asked:

"why?"

At this moment, Rotom's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

It stretched out its lightning-fast "hand" and pointed upwards.

"Because... Boss..."

"That map... seems to be in the library on the third floor, Loto."

"That's where that scary guy... has been staying!"

Chapter 74: Battle against Qianli Chenghua! (9k)

Listening to what Rotom said, Sirona gradually came to her senses.

It is obvious that the game author designed it this way on purpose. Only by solving the problem on the third floor of the mansion can you find the so-called map from there and obtain the truth about the key. All of this is linked together.

This brings us back to the question of how to enter the library on the third floor of the mansion that Rotom mentioned.

She recalled the tip she had just seen.

[Blessing from something beautiful...]

For a moment, Shirona really couldn't figure out what this meant.

After all, this description is too broad.

She could only shake her head slightly and choose to put the matter aside for the time being.

Anyway, this mansion will not run away here. Moreover, Rotom has already mentioned that this building has a history of many, many years, and the guy on the third floor has always been here.

In other words, there is still plenty of time for you to explore the mysteries here.

Moreover, compared to the situation on the third floor of this mansion and the key, it is obvious that the "Ultimate Hole" is a more important matter.

Although the fog on the third floor looked very strange, she knew clearly that it had no direct or indirect connection with the Ultimate Cave.

So there is no need to rush to explore it.

With this thought in mind, Shirona took Rotom out of the mansion, walked onto the path, and left the Orange Forest again.

When leaving the forest, Rotom did not return to the Poké Ball. Instead, he looked around Sirona, left and right, and seemed very curious about the outside world.

But he was very timid and would immediately shrink behind Shirona at the slightest sign of trouble, cautiously sticking out half of his head.

From this, it's no wonder that after living in this forest for so many years, Rotom has never considered leaving. It's simply limited by its own courage...

But this seems to be a good thing. After all, if Rotom had not been waiting for Shirona's arrival in the mansion, no one would be able to provide Shirona with so much information about the mansion.

……

After successfully passing through the Chenghua Forest, what appeared in front of Shirona was a road leading directly to Chenghua City.

Speaking of Chenghua City, some memories of playing this game a few days ago suddenly flooded into Sirona's mind.

This was actually the first city they arrived at after leaving Mobai Town. She also taught a young man named Xiaoguang how to catch Pokémon in the grass nearby.

Speaking of this... I don't know what the guy named Xiaoguang is doing now. Is there a possibility that I will encounter him and fight him in the future?

Sirona was thinking.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a red hat appeared by the pond nearby. He glanced at her, a black exclamation mark appeared on his head, and he came forward excitedly.

"Hey, little girl, I see you seem to have a fishing rod with you. How about it? Do you want to come fishing with me?"

"This pond is great for fishing. I guarantee you won't come up empty-handed!"

Seeing this, Sirona controlled her character to turn around and run without hesitation.

The comments in the live broadcast room also burst into laughter.

Fishing is impossible. I will never fish again in my life.

[Guess how many Gyarados are waiting for Nana-san in this pond?]

【Happy, fishing for the anchor has given me PTSD.】

……

Shirona controlled the character and ran all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the Chenghua City Gym. The last time she came here, her strength was not enough to challenge the character's father "Qianli".

And now...

As Shirona stood at the door of the gym, her communicator in the game suddenly rang. It was her father Qianli calling.

Qianli: Good boy, I've heard about you. You're amazing, able to grow to this point at such a fast pace.

[I believe you are ready to fight me, and so am I. In that case, I will wait for you in the last room.]

Come on, kid.

Qianli hung up the phone right after he finished speaking, and a burst of discussion broke out in the live broadcast room.

[Looking at the icon at the gym entrance... the protagonist's father seems to be the owner of a Normal-type gym. It seems that Normal-type Pokémon are generally not very powerful.]

[Indeed, doesn't a normal type mean it's unremarkable? Normal types generally don't have rare Pokémon or Quasi-Gods...]

[So, this gym should be less difficult than the previous ones?]

[I think that's probably the case. After all, he's the protagonist's biological father. Would he really beat her to death? He'd probably let her off a bit, right?]

[Hey, why isn't my dad the gym owner? I really envy the protagonist.]

……

Obviously, regarding the difficulty of the Orange Gym, this time, the comments in the live broadcast room all thought that it would not be particularly high.

But at this moment, when Shirona was standing in front of the gym gate, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart for some reason.

……

Compared to the previous gyms, there are no complicated mazes or various mechanisms inside the Orange Gym.

The challenge method is quite direct: starting from the first room, constantly choose one of the two paths to enter the next room, and eventually you will be able to successfully reach the location of the gym owner Qianli to fight in the gym.

The only difference between these rooms is that the NPCs inside the rooms seem to use different Pokémon, and Sirona also noticed that there are different labels at the entrances of these rooms.

However, she did not quite understand what the labels meant. For example, the labels on the left and right sides of the gym were:

[Lightning-fast speed] and [impregnable physical defense]

According to her guess, this should be explaining the abilities of the Pokémon behind these two doors?

After a brief thought, she chose [Imperishable Physical Defense] to enter.

Because if it is really as she thought, with the powerful special attack abilities of Rakuten Kappa, Oobleck, and Rotom, they should be able to easily break through the opponent's physical shield Pokémon.

The next moment, as Shirona entered the room, a big sister with purple hair came up to her.

"Are you the owner's little daughter? I've heard about you before, but even so, I won't hold back!"

The next moment, countless Poké Balls flashed across the game interface, and the battle began instantly.

A red light flashed, and the opponent also sent out his Pokémon first.

It was a creature with a strange shape and a body like a red teapot. Its orange head and limbs protruded from the grooves on the surface of the teapot, making it look quite cute.

This is the dual-attribute Bug and Rock Pokémon, Pot. In Sirona's memory, the physical defense of this Pokémon is indeed outstanding, even quite amazing.
