He knows Pokémon better than me

After walking for about half an hour, a few people arrived at the southern end of Desert City.

This place is actually on the outskirts of the city. There are no people living here and it is deserted. The wind and sand from outside have blown in, making the surrounding air gray.

Only a few vultures occasionally flew through the air, looking at everyone with their gloomy eyes, as if staring at delicious carrion.

Especially that chubby fat cat, I really want to catch it and tear open its flesh and blood for a feast!

When the road came to an end, near the top of a hill, everyone saw a building that looked like a ruin.

Some city wall bricks were built along the way, but they were severely eroded by wind and sand, and basically only ruins were left.

There are even some places that cracked as if they were forcibly destroyed, as if a battle had occurred here?

The rock wall was carved with upward steps, and there was a huge position similar to a bronze throne at the top.

It's about two meters wide, like a place for some giant to sit?

There are some strange patterns carved on the rock wall on the back, but many places have been smoothed away, and no complete pattern can be seen.

"This is it, the sacrificial throne of the legendary demon god Hupa!"

Lao Pa introduced to everyone.

The Saliman brothers and sisters also knew little about this. They only thought it was a fairy tale and legend, but they did not expect that such a ruin actually existed.

Is it possible that the oil in Desert City actually comes from the demon god Hupa, as described in the legend?

"Weird feeling here"

Little Hupa didn't dare to get close to the huge location, so he hid and looked from a distance.

Although the memories of the past are no longer there, the place does give it a familiar feeling.

"It's strange how it could be so dilapidated and completely neglected."

Citron couldn't help but ask Lao Pa.

This place is only two hundred meters away from the civilian area of ​​​​Desert City. It stands to reason that there should be people coming here frequently for maintenance.

Like the people in the Valley of Creation, so devoted to Arceus

The people here are completely opposite, they don't seem to care about the demon Hupa at all.

"I also heard it mentioned by the old man in the past."

Lao Pa pointed to the huge bronze seat above and said:

"It is said that a long time ago, the demon Hupa suddenly came here and could fulfill human wishes, giving the original group of people in Desert City endless wealth."

"In order to repay the favor, that group of people built a huge sacrificial throne at this location. The demon Hupa usually rests in this location, and they placed food and wine below to offer thanks."

Xiaozhi and the others were also listening blankly.

Although they have heard this story several times, there is something new every time, and it is also somewhat different from the version they heard before.

Not in the water.

"Later, at the instigation of evildoers, the demon god Hupa summoned the legendary Pokémon to fight, destroying most of the sacrificial platform and causing huge harm to the locals."

There used to be a battle between gods here!

"In the end, just like the popular story, the demon Hupa was sealed in a magic pot by a mysterious old man, and his whereabouts are unknown ever since."

"Because of that chaotic war between the gods, the locals' sentiment towards the demon god Hupa also changed from worship to fear. Everyone deliberately stopped mentioning Hupa, so now there is only an uncertain legend left."

The old man sighed. In fact, he didn't know whether these were true or false. He only heard them from the old man in the past.

But now that the ruins are here, the credibility is very high.

"Is it true...?"

Saliman and Princess Sara looked at each other. They had never heard their elders talk about these things.

Xiaozhi and others looked at Xiaohupa.

What Lao Pa said is consistent with the legend spread in the Valley of Creation.

The mysterious old man was naturally Mayali's ancestor. He used the Pot of Punishment to seal most of Hupa's power. From then on, he lost his violent personality and memory, turned into a punishment form, and lived in seclusion in the Valley of Creation.

"In other words, this is Hupa's former home?"

Yulijia couldn't help but said, Hupa's status in the past must have been very high!

If this legend is true

It was really those good-hearted Desert City people who harmed Hupa, causing him to fall off the altar and be deprived of his power.

"I'm sorry, Hoopa."

"I feel like we should apologize to you."

Saliman and Sara bowed to Hupa and apologized.

As the royal family of Desert City, enjoying the wealth of the entire city, their family should be the biggest beneficiaries of the Hupa incident.

But he did not stand up and lend a helping hand to his former benefactor.

"I was shocked. Those things have nothing to do with Hupa!"

Little Hupa quickly waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to draw a clear line with the evil demon Hupa.

"Hmph, you hypocritical human being, do you want to apologize now?"

At this time, a cold mocking sound suddenly came from the high stairs.

Everyone looked up subconsciously, only to see an additional man appear on the previously empty huge bronze seat.

He was wearing a white robe that looked like a warrior, with a tough and handsome face, a red turban on his head, and a red cloak on his back.

"Wait a minute, you are Mayali's brother, Mr. Balza, right?!"

Citron blurted out that he still had the photo sent by Mayali.

"I see."

Lao Pa came to his senses. In the past few days, he directed a group of guards to search for this person everywhere in the city, even in civilian areas, but he never saw anyone.

It turned out to be in this remote corner of the periphery, but he selectively ignored it.

But the look on the other side didn't seem very good.

One hand was still holding a strange-looking bottle with a long neck, and he had a sullen face. He didn't seem to be an easy person to get along with.

"strangeness."

Serena was a little strange. She remembered that Mayali mentioned that her brother had a cheerful and sunny personality, and he was honest and gentle no matter who he treated.

"Balza! I was shocked, you are here~!!"

Little Hoopa was about to fly over and give Balza a big hug.

"Wait a minute Hupa, something seems wrong!"

With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiaozhi pulled Hu back.

Balza, who was currently sitting on the huge seat, looked very small compared to the bronze seat beneath him.

But there was a cold and violent aura, and a black-red light could still be seen in the pupils.

Xiaozhi even felt a similar aura to Hupa from the latter!

"has a problem!"

He quickly protected Hupa behind him and was on guard.

As for Saliman and Sara, they were a little embarrassed. They thought that the other party was a loyal believer of Hupa. The sarcastic sneer just now was to seek revenge on their royal family in Desert City.
