Pokémon: The Climb

"Red Stone Kingdom?" Qiuye Yinling, who had never heard of this name, looked around in confusion, "Red Stone? I didn't see anything related to Red Stone?"

Yang Yan looked carefully and confirmed that he had read correctly before explaining: "Red stone does not refer to red stone. In fact, these two words need to be looked at separately. According to records, this kingdom is good at using the fire and rock elements. Pokémon, so 'red' refers to the fire type, and 'stone' naturally refers to the rock type."

"So that's it, then why not call it Firestone Kingdom?" Qiuye Yinling asked casually.

"I don't know about that. Maybe I think 'Flint' doesn't sound good."

At this time, Qiuye Yinling realized, "By the way, didn't you say that you are from Hoenn? How come you know so clearly the history of our Sinnoh? I have never heard of this Red Stone Kingdom. You Can you actually know?"

"When I have nothing to do, I occasionally read some ancient books." Yang Yan answered simply.

"Is that true?" Qiuye Yinling's beautiful eyes stared at Yang Yan curiously, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as just browsing. Why do I feel that your understanding of Sinnoh's history is even better than that of some professional archaeologists?"

"Illusion, this must be your illusion!" Yang Yan said confidently.

"Okay, just think it's my imagination."

Qiuye Yinling was still inexperienced, and she actually had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, so she gave up the topic and asked instead: "Since you can see that this pattern represents the Red Stone Kingdom, can you judge Who is the person who came out of this?"

"This..." Yang Yan shook his head, "The lack of information is too serious, so I can't tell for the time being, and my understanding of the Red Stone Kingdom is actually very limited. But one thing can be confirmed, this stone tablet should record this Some of the information about people, it’s a pity that the words on it are almost weathered.”

"It's as if you can recognize the words even if you can see them clearly." Qiuye Yinling rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain.

Yang Yan didn't care at all, he just felt that the time was almost up, so he said: "According to the previous promise, you can stay here for the time being, I will continue to explore. In addition, I suggest you go out early, after all, the outside space is more It’s spacious and not easy to be attacked.”

"Then be careful and leave quickly if you encounter danger!" Qiuye Yinling nodded and warned.

When they just observed the mural, the two of them had already discovered the passage to go deeper, so after Yang Yan finished speaking, he took the Pokémon and prepared to go in.

The passage is a stone staircase going down, and after walking down, there is a bronze door.

Originally, this was supposed to be a door that was difficult to open. After all, Yang Yan saw through the crack that the door was thicker than his hand.

"Building the building underground and building such a thick bronze door obviously doesn't want people to enter. Is there some important place inside? Isn't it the treasury of the Red Stone Kingdom?" Yang Yan made a random guess in his mind.

The crack is not big, but fortunately Yang Yan can get through it, otherwise it would be really troublesome to get in. After all, his current location was already underground. If the Pokémon used violence to open the door, there would inevitably be a risk of collapse. He didn't want to be buried alive again.

After successfully entering, Yang Yan found that the passage inside was actually wider than the one above.

"It seems that this is really a very important place for the Red Stone Kingdom." Yang Yan was happy, but also a little worried, "There are unexpectedly many cracks on this wall. Obviously there are not as many as those buried in the desert. It is deep in ruins, but why is it even more damaged than there? It feels as if it has been rubbed vigorously..."

The cracked bronze walls always give people a feeling that they will collapse at any time.

"It seems we can't engage in high-intensity battles here. It's a bit troublesome!"

So far, the high-level ghosts that Guisi mentioned living here have not come out. This is a good thing, but the less they come, the more Yang Yan needs to focus on being wary of them, which is really a bit uncomfortable. .

At this time, a clanking sound suddenly came from above. Yang Yan, who was already in a state of high mental stress, was startled.

It turned out that it was Akiba Otonrezu who was tinkering with something on top.

With this sound, could she be trying to tear down those murals? Yang Yan was frightened, fearing that she would accidentally collapse it, so he quickly shouted: "Qiuye Yinling, don't mess around, this ruin is not very strong!"

As soon as he shouted, the movement above him stopped.

"Sorry, sorry, I know, I won't mess around!"

"Oh, I hope she won't do anything else!" After reorganizing his mind, Yang Yan continued to move forward with the Pokémon.

However, while walking, ghosts kept coming out of his shadow, and then disappeared into the bronze wall beside him.

They need to be responsible for checking whether there are traps in the walls, and if so, they need to destroy them.

Yang Yan originally thought that after so many years, the traps should have become ineffective, but it turned out that was not the case. A considerable number of traps were still functioning.

Looking at the steel arrows that were continuously shot from the wall in front of him, Yang Yan laughed with interest.

"The ghosts living here are not naughty enough to trigger or destroy these traps. It's really interesting!"

In addition to killing, the ghost type also likes to play pranks. They should be naturally interested in traps. However, they did not touch the traps here. This made Yang Yan interested and wanted to know what made them restrain themselves. An instinctive impulse.

What's more important is that even the bronze walls seem to be almost unable to hold up, yet so many of these traps are still functioning...

"Should I lament that the ancients were too skilled, or should I complain that they missed the point?" Yang Yan didn't know what to say.

While destroying the trap, Yang Yan slowly moved forward.

After passing through the passage, another bronze door appeared in front of Yang Yan, but unlike the one behind him, this door had a mechanism that could be opened directly.

This is also thanks to the ghosts who are not affected by physics, otherwise Yang Yan would have to spend some effort to find where the switch is.

"So, ghost-type Pokémon are the most suitable for exploration!"

Yang Yan sighed as he pushed open the door in front of him with the Pokémon.

As a result, the scene that appeared in front of him in the next second shocked Yang Yan.

Because what he saw was a mass grave made of piles of bones.

"this……?!"

Although it was hard to believe, Yang Yan immediately understood what this place was based on some experiences.

"This horse riding is a cemetery!"
