An incredibly powerful energy wave was emitted from Ash's palm, leaving Professor Xiu Li stunned.
He didn't even notice that the notebook in his hand had fallen.
"This, this, this..."
With Ash's Ki Blast power boost, the balance of power finally tilted in Ash's favor.
The energy was pushed back little by little, and finally a violent explosion occurred at the center of the unknown totem army.
Ash quickly recalled the Pokémon into its Poké Ball.
The trio immediately raised Wobbuffet and came in front of Ash and his friends, blocking all the aftershocks of the explosion.
"Sonas!!!"
After the explosion.
The Unknowns floating above the room finally fell down, and Ash took the opportunity to throw out a Poké Ball and capture one of them.
This Pokémon is truly amazing, and Ash decides to take one with him to study it properly.
Some unknown totems fell down and turned into small stone slabs that resembled ancient jigsaw puzzle pieces.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky above the basement, and more unknown totems disappeared into the room along this passage.
"Oh, that was terrifying." Dr. Xiuli collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
He put Xiao Mei down from his arms and went to the pile of puzzle pieces, picking them up one by one.
"It all started with them."
At this moment, Ash, carrying Pikachu, also came to Professor Shower's side.
"Are these the small stone tablets that record unknown totems?"
"Yes, the characters on these are the shapes of unknown totems, ancient script."
"Indeed, the inscriptions are just like those on the Arceus Tablets."
Ash caught the keyword in the Arceus Slate.
"Dr. Xiuli, do you know Gillutea?"
"Of course I know him. He used to be my colleague and is a well-known genius in the research community."
"I really didn't expect him to do that kind of thing later."
"Now I hear he's become an idiot and is locked up in prison. He deserves it."
Speaking of Gillutea, Dr. Shuri also felt a pang of regret that a genius had gone astray.
"Do you know about those three peculiar stone tablets he's holding?"
"Yes, I know. He bought those three stone slabs from me."
"what!"
So, you were the key driver behind two major events that jeopardized the world, Dr. Xiuli!
Chapter 214 Fist Stone Slab
Since that's the case, Ash didn't hold back and explained to Professor Shuri how Gilluta used the stone tablet.
Dr. Xiuli was terrified upon hearing this.
"Are these stone slabs really that dangerous...?"
Xiuli had previously conducted some research on these stone slabs, but had not discovered anything unusual about them.
I always thought these stone tablets simply recorded some stories about Arceus.
Unexpectedly, Gilluta was able to use some high-tech instruments to guide the power of Arceus from the stone slab for his own use.
"This guy really is a genius." Xiuli felt even more regretful that he hadn't been able to guide him onto the right path back then.
"Ash, you should have all three of Gilruta's stone tablets in your possession now, right?"
“That’s right.” Xiao Zhi transferred the three charred stone slabs from the system space to his hand in his pocket.
It was quite natural to take it out and show it to Dr. Xiuli.
"After it was taken off the instrument, it became like this, and it was completely unusable."
"Does the doctor want to take it back?"
“No, I already sold them all to Gillutte.” Dr. Xiuli quickly waved his hand in refusal.
"Moreover, you thwarted Gilluta's plot, so these stone tablets are naturally your spoils of war."
"Moreover, these stone slabs are so dangerous that entrusting them to an excellent trainer for protection is the best option."
Dr. Xiuli thought for a moment, walked to the wall in the basement, carefully felt around, and pressed a hidden small switch.
A hole immediately appeared in the wall, and he took out a box from it.
When opened, there was another stone slab inside, identical in shape to the other Arceus slabs in Ash's possession.
This is a well-preserved stone slab that looks ready to be used immediately.
"It was excavated from the same site in the Sinnoh region along with those three stone slabs."
"However, I had thought of keeping a piece for further research, so I didn't sell it to Gilluta."
"Now I'll entrust it to you for safekeeping, Ash."
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Fist Stone": The power of Fighting-type moves of the Pokémon holding this item is increased by 20%]
Professor Shuri readily handed the box containing the stone tablet to Ash.
"I might be able to restore those three stone slabs as well. I can help you if you need it."
"Really, Dr. Xiuli?"
Ash was already happy to get another stone tablet from him, but he didn't expect Professor Hideki to have the ability to repair stone tablets.
As expected of an expert, these Pokémon professors really deserve a good amount of gold coins.
“Gilluta also messed up these three stone slabs like this before, and at the time I didn’t know what he was up to.”
"Now that I think about it, he was probably conducting an experiment to extract energy."
"I spent an entire night carving the original content back onto the stone slab, and the slab was miraculously restored to its original state."
Dr. Xiuli also showed photos of the stone slab taken at the time.
You can clearly see him chopping a large cabbage on a fist-sized stone slab.
"Oops, I took the wrong one." Dr. Xiuli quickly replaced it with another one.
This time, the photos finally show what the three stone slabs of fire, ice, and electricity used to look like.
"But Doctor, you're using Arceus's stone slab to cut vegetables."
It's an artifact, after all; no wonder he's Professor Oak's student.
Xiuli scratched her head and gave an embarrassed smile.
"The conditions at the archaeological site were rudimentary, there was nothing I could do..."
"Ahem! In short, there are probably no more than five people in the Pokémon research community who can decipher the meaning of ancient writing."
"And the only one who can write it down is me."
Dr. Xiuli is quite proud when talking about her profession.
"Although it will be quite tedious, you are Xiaomei's savior after all, and you just cleaned up this mess for us."
"This is my way of repaying you. Just ask if you need anything."
Seeing that the other party had said that, Xiao Zhi didn't hold back.
He handed the three charred Arceus tablets to Dr. Shuri and asked him to help restore them.
Dr. Xiuli readily agreed.
After tidying up the puzzle pieces of the unknown totems, Ash and his friends left the basement and came to the front garden of Snowden Manor.
Although his home is now a complete mess, Dr. Xiuli doesn't seem worried at all.
"As long as Xiaomei is not hurt, these things that can be fixed with a little money are minor issues."
After the uprising of the unknown totem subsided, the entire layer of crystal that originally covered the green grassland melted away, restoring it to its original appearance.
It is indeed very beautiful and deserves the title of a tourist destination.
At this moment, Professor Oak, the old butler, and others arrived at the manor in several jeeps immediately after the crystals disappeared.
Hey, Ash!
Professor Oak saw Ash's Charizard from afar and knew he was alright, finally putting his mind at ease.
He stuck his head out of the window and waved to Xiaozhi.
But as he drove closer, he suddenly discovered that the student he had thought was dead was standing there with his hands and feet intact.
Overjoyed, he got out of the car and ran to them.
The old butler, sitting in the car behind, was so excited to see Xiuli that he burst into tears.
"Xiuli, it's so good to see you're still alive."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Oki. This time it was all because of my mistake that I caused you so much trouble."
"I will prepare compensation for the residents of the town."
"That's alright, the important thing is that you're safe and sound."
Hanako and Kasumi also came along in the jeep convoy.
As soon as she saw Ash come out, Hanako immediately went up to him, lifted his arm, and touched it from left to right to see if he was injured.
Fortunately, Ash has extremely high defense; the most serious damage to his body was to his clothes.
He only had a few small scratches on his body; none of the previous attacks in the battle had been able to break through his defenses.
"Why do you always like to run to dangerous places, making your mother worry?"
"You inherited it from her. This time, it was because Mom ran to a dangerous place first that she got caught."
"Mom has her reasons."
Parents don't easily admit their mistakes in front of their children, and a simple "Can this be the same?" shut Xiaozhi up.
Then he started giving Xiaozhi a long-winded safety lecture.
There's no way around it, Ash is an only child, and Hanako couldn't bear it if something happened to him.
But what Xiaoxia really wants to say is that the ones who should be worried are Xiaozhi's enemies.
In all the time they've been together, she's never seen Xiaozhi bleed.
However, Ash has actually been injured before. The most serious injury was when he fought Mewtwo, and he even coughed up blood.
Xiaoxia didn't go with them, so she didn't know.
But since gaining the ability to be immortal, there are fewer and fewer things that can pose a threat to Ash.
At this moment, Xiuli also brought Xiaomei to Hanako's side and apologized to her.
Hanako, seeing that Shuri had returned safe and sound, finally let Satoshi go and happily chatted with her old classmate.
"I'm so sorry, Xiaomei, for causing you so much trouble this time!"
The apology was a standard bow, delivered in a very sincere tone.
Hanako came to the Green Grassland because she was worried about Mimi's safety.
Now that Xiaomei is safe and Xiuli has returned home safely, it's a happy ending for everyone, so Hanako naturally won't hold a grudge anymore.
Unfortunately, Snowdon Manor is in ruins due to the aftermath of the battle, and it will take some time to repair.
Unable to keep everyone there, they had no choice but to return to the Pokémon Center for the time being.
On the way back, Xiaozhi asked Hanako curiously.
"Speaking of which, Mom, why are you so concerned about Xiaomei? Is it just because Dr. Xiuli is your old classmate?"
