"Where is the Sky Pillar? How do we get there?"
He inquired.
God knows whether it has not been discovered by outsiders yet, or is secretly protected by the Pokémon League. Detailed information about the island where the Sky Pillar is located cannot be found on the Internet, and it is not included in any map available on the market.
If there is, Kashiwagi is planning to go over and take a look.
"Just follow me, you still have half an hour to make final preparations." Xijiana was very tolerant and gave time to make adjustments.
"Thank you for your kindness. Let's go straight away. I have made all the necessary preparations."
He shook his head to refuse and smiled at Guniuniu who was so shy that she hid behind his waist.
Unfortunately, this little guy named "Xijiana" seemed to have forgotten that there was a boy in Meteor Village who often fed him delicious Pokémon cubes. He tried to hide as if he was teased by a strange uncle passing by.
It's so sad.
By the way, these past two days he has been constantly recalling the Sky Pillars in various versions, and specially bought a lot of props to deal with various situations in it, almost filling up his backpack.
It couldn’t be more comprehensive.
Xijiana grabbed Gu Niuniu who was trying hard to squeeze behind her waist, stood up and said, "In that case, let's set off!"
She spoke with great momentum, and since she was in a quiet cafe, she immediately attracted the attention of others, but in the end, those people were looking at Kashiwagi.
The latter secretly thought that something was wrong.
"Kashiwagi? It's Kashiwagi!"
"The rising star of the glamour contest, Kashiwagi, is coming to Mushui Town?"
When these two sentences were heard in the coffee shop, he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and nodded to other guests around him, while whispering to Xijiana and Gununiu to go out.
"You are so famous?"
Shijiana was so happy. She only had the most basic understanding of the glamour competition and only knew that Kashiwagi was very good at it.
"It's just an empty name."
Kashiwagi quickly glanced at the door of the cafe behind him, and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see anyone chasing him out.
The possibility of him being recognized in a town with a flourishing contest is too high, it seems he will have to find a chance to get a pair of Clark's glasses someday. Disguise is very effective in the animation world, and Team Rocket often uses their sophisticated or crude techniques to play tricks on Satoshi and his friends.
The two came to the coast.
He thought they would fly to the Sky Pillar, but unexpectedly, Xijiana jumped directly into a pure white boat on the shore, "Come up!"
"You're actually going there by boat..."
"I can accept your wish to fly over there with Pokémon."
"I didn't say anything."
Kashiwagi obediently jumped into the cabin.
Flying against the wind and waves is not pleasant, especially when there is an unfathomable ocean below, which makes Kashiwa feel insecure.
It's actually the same thing with a boat, but it's a little better than riding a Pokémon.
Perhaps it is because there is relatively more space for activities.
"Hold on tight! If you fall you'll have to climb back up!"
Xijiana started the boat skillfully and sailed away into the distance. While driving, she half turned her head and chatted.
The old driver's appearance is admirable.
During her narration, Kashiwagi learned about the brief story of Alice's successful arrival at Meteor Village and her fierce battle with Jinya and others. A very important "character" in the story was the Dragonite in Alice's house.
Shigana described it as being very courageous because it has provoked almost every dragon-attribute Pokémon.
If it were the more cruel natural world of his previous life, Dragonite would have been torn to pieces by a large group of dragons. However, in a place like the Pokémon world, as long as it does not develop the will to surrender and keeps fighting after repeated defeats, it will have the opportunity to grow up sooner or later.
What's more, Alice is here!
Kashiwagi firmly believed that there was no dragon-attribute Pokémon in the world that could have a bad feeling towards her, and those dragon-attribute Pokémon that were provoked would not beat Dragonite too badly.
Being able to recover quickly and challenge continuously, it’s impossible for Dragonite not to be strong!
Huh?
Why does the plot feel so similar to Ash's Charizard's Charizard Valley?
Kashiwagi once doubted that Alice could become the champion in the future, and the dragon-attribute Pokémon in Meteor Village who kept feeding her experience had made a great contribution... So he thought about changing it to going to Meteor Village to spend the preparation period before the tournament.
Pressure is motivation!
Life in Greenshade Town is too comfortable. Unlike Meteor Village, there is a place like the Dragon's Nest, which is suitable for Pokémon to become stronger by getting beaten.
He pondered silently and decided to ask for everyone's opinions in a couple of days, even if the result would basically be that wherever he went, those guys would agree to go there.
"Goo!"
The shy Guniuniu seemed to finally recognize who Kashiwagi was, and she became bolder and dared to come closer.
The latter was very pleased and took out a Poké Cube, "I'm so happy, Miss Xi Jiana, I was so sad that you didn't recognize who I was just now~"
"Goo~"
After eating the Poké Cube with the familiar taste, Gu Niuniu nodded shyly.
Xijiana, who caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, said nothing, but the smile on her face could not be wiped off.
The island where the Sky Pillar is located is far away.
And it is very hidden.
Why do you say that?
Because the ship must pass through a fog to see the huge graystone tower with mottled and falling walls towering into the clouds on the lush island. It is much more magnificent than in the game. The misty clouds cover the upper columns, as if supporting the sky to prevent it from collapsing.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of skills the Meteor People used thousands of years ago. This level of construction...
It's unreasonable!
“The ancient ancestors were so amazing.”
Kashiwagi sighed from the bottom of his heart, and Xijiana beside him added: "In fact, we also have the help of the Liuli people. They are still guarding the seal of the Sky Pillar."
The people of Liuli refer to the earliest group of people who lived in Liuli City. They are now even rarer than the people of Meteor.
Mikoli and Lucia are the people of Liuli.
Just a seal...
Suddenly.
Xijiana turned off the engine and secured the boat to a reef protruding from the sea.
"There are many reefs ahead. The boat can't go through. Let's fly over." She quickly answered Kashiwagi's doubts and released the energetic Dragonite.
The three-headed dragon appeared a second later, and the two powerful dragon-attribute Pokémon looked at each other, both showing joy and eagerness.
They had fought each other several times without the command of a trainer, which left a deep impression on each other. They both agreed in their hearts that they would have a real fight when they met again in the future.
"Quiet."
Xijiana looked directly at the Pillar of the Sky, and her face, which was originally full of smiles, was now filled with reverence and seriousness.
No longer concerned with saving the world, she gave up her extremes, but she did not give up her strong belief in Rayquaza and her sense of responsibility and mission as a citizen of the Meteor.
For her, the holy land is a place where no fooling around is allowed.
In this respect, Xijiana is more traditional than her grandmother.
The Tyrannosaurus swung its tail and didn't even dare to make a sound in response. After Kashiwagi silently patted the three-headed dragon's head, the guy also calmed down.
They are all smart Pokémon that know how to read people's expressions.
Unlike the bare island in the game, the island where the Sky Pillar is located in the animation is shaded by green trees. Even the dilapidated outer walls of the main body are covered with plants such as moss and vines, and many of the damaged areas have grown into them.
of course.
The vegetation coverage rate is not high, so the Sky Pillar is currently still graystone in color.
There are some tattered spots, but the overall structure is pretty solid.
There are many stone houses built around it. If you look carefully, you can see some traces of human life, which are generally quite old.
Xijiana jumped off the back of the violent flying dragon and explained: "A hundred years ago, the people of Liuli gave up guarding outside the Sky Pillar, and these houses are what they left behind."
"A hundred years ago?"
"Well, society has changed dramatically. Trainers have appeared in large numbers because Poké Balls have become easier to obtain. The already scarce number of Glazed People have chosen to keep up with the changes, changing from permanent residents to regular patrols."
Great social change...
Could it be that it is the time when Poké Balls gradually go into mass production?
Kashiwagi is well aware that in the animation world he lives in, the development of the Poké Ball is quite complicated. From the washed-green version of the wooden handmade Poké Ball to the current ordinary Poké Ball that contains high technology and can be transmitted and connected to the Internet at will, it has experienced countless developments that were enough to influence the world.
The people of Liuli seem to be a group that has been most deeply influenced by the times.
But judging by the current situation of Mikoli and Lukia, the changes made by the Glaze People were quite correct, while the Meteor People were decades slower. If it weren't for their naturally powerful Dragon-attribute Pokémon and Mega Evolution, they might have already been eliminated by the times.
Just like the water people among the princes of the sea.
It was once so glorious.
Kashiwagi turned to ask Shijiana, "Do we still have the technology to build another Sky Pillar now?"
"Rebuild?"
She was stunned, "What do you want to do?"
"I just think it's a pity that such technology has not been passed down..." Baimu was inspired and suddenly got stuck.
Because he realized that the position of inheritor was established to pass on the glorious past and hidden technology of the Meteor People, even if they would become outdated in the future.
I am too utilitarian and subconsciously ignore the essence of the inheritor.
Idiot, I was infected by the three-headed dragon and Milotic.
He thought with chagrin.
When Xi Jiana saw the expression on his face, she smiled and said, "Do you need me to explain it to you?"
"…No need, thank you."
