Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 30: Temple and Regirock! (4k)

As the symbols turned into beams of light and shot up into the sky, the screen in front of Shirona fell into darkness.

The next moment, a brand new CG picture appeared.

In the dark cave, a beam of light shines down from the crack at the top.

And within this radiance, those flickering, brown symbols seemed to actually come alive!
They circled and danced in the air.

Soon, the symbols were arranged into two rows, and several vacant positions appeared.

There are also a few symbols floating alone, like derailed satellites.
There is no radiance on their bodies, but an extremely dull gray.

At this moment, the CG in front of Shirona ended, and the game interface on the screen also changed.

It's like a spelling board, with two rows of symbols clearly presented in front of the player, and there are several floating and circling gray symbols below, waiting for the player to choose.

Seeing this, Sirona suddenly realized something.

So..is this to allow players to fill in these words in the correct position?

In a sense, this is like a puzzle level.

So, since the author can design such a level, does he really know the meaning of these ancient characters?
When she thought of this, Sirona's heart couldn't help but be shaken.

He originally thought that the other party was well-informed about ancient Pokémon and that knowing about a "legendary dragon" like Rayquaza was already exaggerated and shocking enough.

But I didn’t expect that the creator of this game actually has some knowledge of ancient characters?

Even the level of his understanding is far greater than mine?
After a brief moment of daze, Sirona shook her head slightly again.

No...that shouldn't be right.

After the extinction of the ancient civilization that possessed this kind of written symbols, only a very small number of broken ancient books were left. The contents on them have become blurred and are treasured and stored in the alliance's secret museum.

Countless experts and teams have conducted in-depth research and deciphered it, but this work is very difficult. Everyone has tried their best and can only understand the meaning of a small part of the symbols.
Girona was once one of them.

So, she began to speculate that the game makers must have accidentally learned about the existence of this text from some channel, and incorporated it into the game to increase the mystery of the game and to add some meaning.

The content of this crossword puzzle is actually wrong. The author just scrambled it randomly. As long as you guess a few times, you can pass it.
Probably?

Yes, is it?

——Considering the performance of this game before, Shirona found that she was a little unsure about it for a while!
The next moment, her eyes fell on the two lines of ancient characters.

Those brown and yellow symbols continued to emit light and swayed slightly, as if urging Shirona.

Relying on her previous decryption experience, she discovered that some of the symbols were ones she had never seen before.

The remaining small part is that I seem to have seen but have not successfully translated.

There are also some that I know.

For example, in the second row, there are two symbols before the third space.

The first one is a symbol with three protrusions like mountains and rivers, while the other one is a triangle.

The meaning of these two symbols combined is "of the earth".

Shirona continued to look at the floating symbols below, and the next moment, her brows frowned instantly.

wrong!

Among these floating symbols, there are two closely connected ones, which look like a butterfly, and their meaning is "blessing"!
This meaning...seems to be able to fill the blank just now!

Could it be that.? !
She held her breath and first tried to pick out two other symbols floating in the air that she didn't recognize and put them into the third blank.

The next moment, with a sharp scream, two symbols were directly popped out!
And one of the three golden lights at the top of the interface was directly extinguished!
In the live broadcast room, the audience has already noticed some clues.

So this is a puzzle? You only have three chances to put the correct symbol into the blank?

[Unfortunately, it seems I didn’t guess right the first time.]

[Nana is also a researcher of ancient Chinese characters. How could she have chosen the wrong one? Did the author make up these symbols himself?]

What happens if all three chances are used up? I have a bad feeling.

At the same time, Shirona had no intention of reading the comments.

Seeing the failed reaction, she took a deep breath, immediately selected the two gray symbols that looked like butterflies, and dragged them to the third blank space.

Amidst the dancing brown light, a crisp buzzing sound suddenly erupted, accompanied by a wave of air, echoing in the space!
The two symbols fell into the blank space, like rice paper falling into an ink pool. They were instantly stained with a layer of light and regained their vitality!
Obviously, it succeeded this time!

This also proves one thing -

This maker didn't just do it casually, he really understood the meaning of all these ancient characters!!
But how is this possible? ?
These characters clearly come from a lost ancient civilization?!
After a brief moment of shock, Sirona suddenly came to her senses and realized something.

If that's the case, then couldn't I use this special level to try to decipher the meaning of other symbols?!

Her eyes were burning, and she immediately began to observe the symbols herself.

As a mythological archaeologist, he knew very well that deciphering ancient characters was more difficult the earlier one started.

Since the meaning of most of the written symbols was completely unknown at the beginning, all archaeologists could do was to start with some frequently appearing texts, guess their meanings, and find ways to verify them.

However, the efficiency of using this method is actually quite low.

Because there is no way to accurately judge whether this guess is correct or not.
But now there is this in-game 'puzzle solving' feature..
Whether her guess was correct or not, she would get the exact answer immediately!
At this moment, her eyes fell on those symbols. She moved around and observed them repeatedly, whispering softly.

After thinking for a full minute, she suddenly selected two floating gray symbols and placed them in the blank space in the first row.

The next moment, the buzzing sound broke out again, and the gray text was embedded in the blank space, successfully bursting out with light!

——She guessed right!
After this success, Shirona selected symbols faster and faster.

"Star.."

"moon.."

"dark.."

"rock.."

One after another, brown light lit up, and one blank after another was successfully filled by her!
Her actions naturally ignited the live broadcast room successfully.

[As expected of a mythologist, he's a professional! ]

【Holy crap, I have absolutely no idea how this was chosen. Can someone explain it to me?】 【You're asking me? Really?】

As time passed, beads of sweat began to seep out of Shirona's forehead.

And when she successfully placed the last symbol into the blank space
All the shaking words suddenly stopped.

"Boom!"

The entire cave suddenly began to tremble violently! !

A gigantic figure suddenly burst out from the ground ahead! !
……

The screen in front of Shirona went black again. Obviously, she triggered another CG.

But the situation this time seems a little different!
——Boom boom boom!!!
The rapid drum beats sounded first!
The image on the screen began to become clear. In the violently shaking cave, countless pieces of rubble, accompanied by sand and dust, fell from the sky.

On the ground in front of him, a huge monster was gradually rising from the soil.

It turned out to be a temple-like building, the surface of which was covered with mysterious brown patterns and countless symbols emitting brown light.

The sacred and magnificent orchestral music is about to begin with the appearance of this building!
This looks like a temple!
If you look closely, you can find that these symbols are exactly the same as the ancient characters that Shirona just faced.

However, Shirona's attention is not on these symbols at all.

Because in this building, there was a huge figure, which appeared in front of her along with the temple.

——It was a giant Pokémon that was more than ten meters tall!

His entire body is made of brown and gray rocks, just like a mountain!
But these rocks have no sharp edges or sharp protrusions. They fit tightly together and are flat and regular, as if they were a work of art!

At the top of the rock, where the "head" should be, there are seven inconspicuous gray spots of light, which seem to be the "eyes" of this Pokémon, in the shape of the letter "H".

Amidst the falling dust and the brilliant brown light, the magnificent temple emerged from the ground along with his figure.
Such a scene made countless viewers open their eyes wide and were speechless for a moment!
Because the existence of such a Pokémon... is really too shocking!
The CG continued to play, and the shaking of the cave gradually stopped.

The entire temple has been completely unearthed and is now fully displayed before everyone.

Dense ancient text symbols shone brightly on the four pillars of the temple.

The giant Pokémon, on the other hand, sat on top of the temple, motionless.

Even so, through the screen, all the audience can vaguely feel the aura that this Pokémon constantly emits.

——It was a primitive and brutal feeling of power!
The scene in front of me, coupled with the intense and rapid music, can be said to show this feeling to the fullest, making people breathe faster and their heartbeats quicken involuntarily!
The CG camera quickly climbed along the ground, clearly showing the grandeur of the temple, the traces of countless years on the Pokémon's body, and its two huge arms made of rock.

Finally, the picture stopped at the top, at the seven gray spots of light.

The music and the picture suddenly stopped.

After a brief darkness, the game interface returned to normal. In front of Shirona's character, there stood a temple and a pair of feet made of rock.

——Because the height of the characters in the game is too small in comparison, players can only barely see the lower half of the Pokémon's body.

At the same time, everyone in the live broadcast room woke up from their dreams and started to post comments.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! What the hell is this?! Is this even a Pokémon?]

[Why do I feel like this is a legendary beast? ? ]

[Such a strong aura... this is definitely the case! ]

[I'm sweating like crazy! I thought the CG for the ocean scene was incredible enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more impressive?!]

[This is so clear and realistic, and the quality is being suppressed by the livestream? Oh my god, it's hard to imagine how high the original quality was...]

Most of the people watching the live broadcast were ordinary people who had little experience with Pokémon battles.

Of course, there are also some professional trainers who own Pokémon and came to watch the live broadcast because of Sirona.

But one thing is the same for them.

Those legends about so-called "divine beasts" are too far away from people like them. They are even like a vague phantom and cannot be verified at all.

But the moment they saw that huge figure, this rarely mentioned word emerged in their minds at the same time -

"Divine beast"!
At the same time, Sirona was already sitting in front of the computer.

Of course she knew this Pokémon!

One of the three legendary pillars of the Fengyuan region, the "Rock Pillar" Regirock! !

As a mythological Pokémon scientist, studying mythical beasts is her profession and her passion.

In addition to the mythical Pokémon of the Sinnoh region, the ones she knows most about are the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region.

Like the "Raikūza", the "Three Divine Pillars" have never appeared in the past thousand years!
Therefore, Shirona's understanding of them all comes from ancient texts and clues in some ruins.

Regarding the "Three Pillars", she once followed an expedition team to an ancient ruins in the north of the Hoenn region, near Akihabara Town, and discovered murals belonging to the Three Pillars there.

The murals of the "Rock God Pillar" and the "Ice God Pillar" can still be barely distinguished, but the mural of the other "Steel God Pillar" has been erased and is difficult to distinguish.

But today...the scene she just saw made her feel that every cell in her body was cheering and even her soul was trembling!
Such an existence is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
This is the true mythical Pokémon!!
Seeing it with my own eyes now, there is no comparison at all with those blurry murals and descriptions in ancient books!!

After the boiling emotions emerged, Sirona suddenly came back to her senses.

correct
He knew very well that the image of Regilock he had just seen was indeed the same being as that depicted in the blurry murals and texts!
Moreover, it is more lifelike and extremely real!

This only proves one thing.

——That is, the creator of this game must have a far greater understanding of the Rock Pillar than ordinary people!
Maybe he had even seen this mythical beast with his own eyes!

Otherwise, how could such detailed and accurate visual content be produced? !
When she thought of this, Shirona froze.

and also
If he knows so much about the legendary beast of the Hoenn region, the Rock Pillar
Does he also have a good understanding of Rayquaza, the legendary beast of the Hoenn region, and other legendary beasts from other regions?

Who is this person?

A hint of determination flashed in Sirona's eyes.

No!

I must get the first pass and contact the game maker!
