Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"We've only been quiet for a few days, and you're going out to sea again?" The Overlord Weakling floated to the surface and shouted indignantly, "You order me around, do you think of me as your exclusive means of transportation?"

Having said that, it still consciously gathered the fish school, transformed into a giant beast, opened and closed its fins a few times to straighten its body, and then asked unhappily: "Young man and little kitty, come up, where do you want to go this time?"

"Senior Rudinyu, Poni Island, we are going to the Sun Altar," Liang Yin said with a wry smile, "We may be able to find clues about Tapu there."

"Do you think that's right, senior?" he asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the weaklings in the form of a school of fish suddenly stopped talking, and just said "hmm" in a muffled voice, and then hurried on their way silently - as if they didn't want to talk about the topic of the island's guardian god at all, as if there was some taboo.

I had originally planned to sound out the overlord, the weak fish, and get some information from him, but now seeing his tight-lipped reaction, I knew there was probably no hope.

Liang Yin could only curl his lips with some regret, and then pushed Zeraola who was standing beside him: "Zeraola, can you say something too? It's embarrassing to sing a one-man crosstalk..."

The big black cat standing motionless on the back of the fish simply lowered its eyebrows indifferently, too lazy to pay attention to this human whose thoughts occasionally wandered - after the overlord weakling fish directly refused to answer last time, it gave up the idea of ​​obtaining information from the former. Things like pestering are not its style.

Since both Pokémon were silent, Liang Yin had no choice but to sit there quietly and let his mind go - commonly known as daydreaming.

……

We have arrived at the Poni Island pier.

Liang Yin waved goodbye to the Overlord Weak Fish, and followed Zeraora's steps towards the Bonnie Grand Canyon.

Walking through the canyon, there are Gobi cliffs on both sides. The gray-yellow rocks are also full of pits and holes, with a hole on the left and a black hole on the right. It is obvious that these are not traces left by natural weathering, but mines left by artificial mining. And the distribution of these mines is very disorderly, just like ugly scars growing on the stone wall.

"It is said that there was no such position as the King of the Island in the Alola region at the beginning, and there was only one place where one could be tested by the Tapu Gods, and that was the Bonnie Canyon... This canyon was the source of the island pilgrimage, and in the minds of the Alola people, it was a sacred and inviolable area."

Zeraora walked silently on the gravel, stepping on his thick flesh pads, and introduced intentionally or unintentionally: "Later, humans accidentally discovered an extremely precious mineral deposit here, which contains very rich energy."

Having said this, Dianmao did not continue talking, but looked up at the natural stone steps that were tens of meters high. The stone steps faced a cave. It seemed that the next road to take would be this dangerous pass.

"Human, do you want me to take you upstairs?" Zeraora looked back at Liang Yin and asked seriously.

Liang Yin imagined himself being carried on the shoulders of a black cat with one paw, and then climbing up. He immediately shook his head like shaking sieve chaff: "No need, my physical fitness is very good now. It's just a small slope, just sprinkle some water..."

Without verifying whether this human was trying to show off or not, Zeraora just left an intriguing look, and then his body was dyed with brilliant electric light. He leaped up, and his swift and powerful claws chiseled out a series of depressions to use as leverage. He moved his body and climbed to the top in a few steps. He stood in front of the cave, looking down at Liang Yin's next move.

Liang Yin took a deep breath, took a running start and jumped, then landed steadily on the ground before he touched the rock wall.

The landing was very clean and neat. If the full score is 10, 9 is definitely not an exaggeration.

Although, what’s the use of having a beautiful landing?

Well...it was an accident, definitely an accident.

His physical fitness has far surpassed what it was before. It is no exaggeration to say that if the current him fights against his past self, he can easily beat ten people at once.

So he didn't want to lose face, so he simply didn't do anything fancy this time, and simply used his hands and feet to hold and step on the protruding rocks and started rock climbing. But there is a reason why rock climbing is called an extreme sport by the Blue Star people, and even ranks among the top ten dangerous sports in the world.

As a complete novice who had no idea about any skills or techniques, even with all his strength, Liang Yin only climbed less than five meters before he slipped and fell, covered in dirt.

"So, humans have their limits," he stood up while rubbing his butt, looked up, and said stubbornly, "Zeraora, you know what I mean, right?"

Zeraora: ...

So in the end, Liang Yin was finally carried up the "mountain" by the cat.

After passing through the long and deep cave, when they reached the exit, there seemed to be light. After walking a few more steps, the view suddenly became clear and an open space covered with yellow earth appeared in front of the man and the Pokémon.

Directly in front of us is a stone gate with a sun pattern painted on it. Although it is a bit damaged and there are stains on the corners, the moment we see it, we are overwhelmed by a sense of ancient and heavy history. Only majesty and solemnity can describe it.

In front of the door stood three intact but moss-covered stone statues. Liang Yin was able to identify them through some obvious features: the Fiery Roaring Tiger with outstretched arms and a mighty body, the Sniper Tree Owl with a fully drawn bow and eagle eyes like arrows, and the Sea Lion with a graceful posture and a loud singing voice - these three were the final evolved forms of the three Fire, Grass, and Water creatures of the Alola region.

The ground behind the statue has grooves marked with three different attributes: red, green and blue, as if people were required to push the statue to the correct position.

Liang Yin frowned slightly. He remembered that the stone statues placed at this location in the animation should be the three unevolved members of the Starter Pokémon.

"Well, although it is a little different from the animation scene I remember, if I remember correctly, this should be an anti-routine design. You can just push open the door and leave without worrying about the stone statue, right? If you move the stone statue recklessly, it will trigger a dangerous mechanism..."

He tried to recall the plot of Liliae and her brother-in-law in the cartoon, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a few big steps forward and tried to push the door open, but even if he put all his strength into it, the stone door did not move at all.

Zeraora's somewhat indifferent voice came faintly from behind him: "Human, what are you doing?"

"In this case, shouldn't we solve the puzzle first? If you don't solve the mechanism, you can't open the door by brute force. Even if you force the door open, it will collapse."

Liang Yin thought he had avoided the "anti-routine" but ended up being too clever: Isn't this also an anti-routine...

This is a very simple mechanism, and anyone with some common sense can easily unlock it - except that it takes some effort to push the solid stone statue weighing hundreds of pounds.

As the stone statue was placed in the correct position, a series of "clicking" sounds of gears came from below the ground, and the door on the base slowly opened, revealing the road behind the door - a path that was nothing special compared to the previous road, with gray-yellow cliffs still on both sides.

"Let's go, we're almost there."

It was still Zeraola who walked in front to lead the way, and his body instinctively protected Liang Yin behind him in case of any emergency.
