Chapter 781: The Connection Between Legendary Pokémon
Several people continued to explore downwards according to this method and found that, like the previous floors, each floor had three stone doors, only one of which led to the next floor, while the other two stone doors each led to a small room.
When they entered one of the rooms, Cattleya ran to Yang Ming and whispered something in his ear.
"This is the same room as before. It seems there are some things hidden here. Do you want to take them?"
Yang Ming shook his head: "Based on my previous experience, if I really take it away, it might trigger the mechanism here. If my guess is correct, the real goodies in the Ruins should be on the last floor."
With his previous experience at the Alufu Ruins, Yang Ming had already discerned the layout of the ruins in Johto and Sinnoh. While the first few floors of the ruins should contain some "goodies," they were mostly just things like Evolution Stones and Ancient Fossils, which Yang Ming no longer valued. The most valuable treasures in the ruins would only be found on the final floors.
The group passed through several doors in succession. Under Yang Ming's guidance, no one touched the mechanism, so the journey was very peaceful.
"I didn't expect Mr. Yang Ming to be so familiar with the environment here. He knows it even better than us locals in Sinnoh." Hyota praised with a smile.
Yang Ming waved his hand: "It's the same everywhere. I just encountered similar ruins in the Johto area, so I've summed up some experience."
"Johto?" Cattleya said meaningfully, "I guess you were already very familiar with Fenglu by then?"
"No, I didn't know her at all at that time," Yang Ming didn't hear the jealousy in her words and said without hesitation, "I went in with two gym leaders from the Johto region, Asuka and Abi. Speaking of which, that was really thrilling. I didn't expect there would be a gangster in the team...!!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yang Ming's mind, making his expression become gloomy.
In the Alufu ruins in the Johto area, there are passages that can lead to the reversed world, but these passages are not stable. Since Yang Ming came out, no one else has entered.
"Could it be that this random ruin also contains a method to enter the reversed world?"
The more Yang Ming thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was not small, and he even came up with a new guess.
"According to ancient Sinnoh legends, Arceus, the 'God of Creation', created Dialga, the God of Time; Palkia, the God of Space; and Giratina, the Ruler of the Reversed World. However, it seems that the Pokémon Unknown Totem is also closely related to it. Considering the stone tablet depicting Ho-Oh found in the Alfu Ruins, perhaps these two legendary Pokémon of the Johto region are also related to Arceus."
Although Arceus is revered as the God of Creation, there is no evidence to prove that it is related to legendary Pokémon in other regions. Now there is evidence in the ruins of Alfu, which at least proves that the legendary Pokémon in the Johto region are related to it.
Seeing Yang Ming's silence, Cattleya couldn't help but gently touch him and asked softly, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought? Are you thinking about your lover in Alola again?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm thinking about serious matters, and I don't have a lover." Then he whispered his guess to Cattleya.
"...You're saying that the Johto region's Ho-Oh is very likely to have some connection with Arceus?!" Cattleya's eyes widened in shock. "That...that's a really bold guess, but if you think about it carefully, it's very possible. If that's true, then this random ruin might contain the key to solving these mysteries."
"No, I have to tell Sirona and Granny Mustard Orchid about your guess. They will definitely be very excited."
"I advise you not to do this," Yang Ming shook his head. "These are just my personal guesses. Only by entering the last level of the Random Ruins can we verify this guess."
Soon, they opened the last door. Unlike the previous small room, this stone chamber was very large, enough to accommodate several huge Pokémon to fight here.
Faced with such an empty room, everyone was at a loss as to where to start.
"Let's search first to see if there are any mechanisms nearby." Taro, an excavation expert, suggested.
Yang Ming also used the power of Changpan to search secretly, and soon made a discovery.
"There are two living beings sleeping in this stone chamber. They are extremely powerful, far more powerful than the unknown totems in the previous floors." Yang Ming whispered to Cattleya.
So far, only a very few people know that Yang Ming possesses the power of Evergreen, and Cattleya is one of them, so Yang Ming can only discuss many things with her alone.
"Strange, my superpowers didn't sense any strange energy fluctuations on this level. Could it be that our previous guess was wrong?" Cattleya frowned.
"No treasure? That's impossible!" Yang Ming was shocked. "This is already the deepest part of the Ruins. It's impossible that there is nothing here."
"Could it be that someone took the treasure away in advance?"
"That's unlikely," Yang Ming thought, stroking his chin. "Nothing on those floors has been taken away, and the mechanisms haven't been triggered. If someone really got there first, they would have engaged in a fierce battle with the two powerful beings sleeping there. There's no way this stone chamber is devoid of any signs of fighting."
Just as the two were speculating wildly, Taro's excited voice came from a distance: "We've found something! There seems to be writing on this stone wall!"
Upon hearing the news, others rushed over and, with the help of flashlights, they discovered something faintly carved on the stone wall next to Taro.
"What kind of text is this?" Yang Ming looked at Hyota and Taro in confusion.
"...I don't know." Hyota and Taro shook their heads. As natives of Sinnoh, they couldn't understand the words on the stone wall.
Cattleya squeezed over, and after repeated identification, she found that even she, who came from a wealthy family in Sinnoh, could not understand the words on the stone wall.
Finally, Kebin, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Perhaps, this is ancient Sinnoh writing."
"Ancient Sinnoh script?" Yang Ming frowned, "Can you read it?"
Kebin nodded. "We, the Temple Clan, have been learning the ancient Sinnoh script since childhood. Perhaps I can actually decipher the contents of the stone wall."
Yang Ming was overjoyed and immediately asked the others to keep watch while Kebin deciphered the words on the stone wall alone.
"It seems I've really found a treasure this time!" Yang Ming secretly rejoiced, "If I hadn't won over Kebin, I would have gone back empty-handed this time."
