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

Chapter 68: Phantom Tower, you can’t plant here (5k)

Although for Sirona now, the most important task at the moment seems to be to obtain that secret skill and pass through the tunnel to challenge the gym.

But when she came to the road above Zijin City, she suddenly remembered something.

——After completing the challenge of the Kamahen Gym, I ran into an old acquaintance when I went out, who was also the "strong rival" who set out from Mobai Town with me.

But this time, after seeing her, the other party just exchanged a few words of greeting and did not start a battle with her as before. Instead, he directly handed something to her!
It seems to be a prop called "logo goggles".

At that time, Shirona's mind was on how to use the skill "Burn to Death", and she didn't pay too much attention to this point.

But now, as she looked at the desert area that she had failed to enter last time, a possibility suddenly emerged in her mind!
Could it be that.
With this thought, Shirona stopped, opened her backpack, and checked the item she had just obtained. Sure enough, as she expected, a series of information began to appear in front of her.

[Props: Logo goggles]

[Effect: After carrying it, you can protect your body from the invasion of sand and dust, and move smoothly in adverse weather conditions.]

Sure enough, every restriction in this game has a corresponding way to solve it!
Like the desert in front of us, you must have such props to enter it.

Sirona took a deep breath and controlled the character to walk towards the desert pass.

This time, when she entered the desert, the previous prompt did not pop up - she successfully stepped into the desert.

With time running out and the task at hand, Shirona immediately began exploring the desert.

However, what happened next made her feel a little disappointed.

Although these deserts are very vast, there are also many NPCs carrying ground and rock-type Pokémon to challenge her.

But unfortunately, she didn't find anything that seemed old, such as ancient relics or props scattered in the desert.

The only consolation was that she saw some elves that she had rarely seen before, such as the giant jaw ant and the desert Naya.

In the real world, these Pokémon often live in real deserts with extremely high temperatures and harsh environments.

Even though she is the champion, there is basically no possibility that she would deliberately go to such a place.

"It seems there aren't as many interesting things hidden here as I thought. But everyone should have seen some Pokémon that you don't usually see, so this trip was worth it."

Sirona smiled slightly and said to the barrage with some regret.

And everyone in the live broadcast room also started to swiping the screen.

She made me cry.

[This doesn't make sense. Such a huge desert, and no props at all? What on earth did the creator suddenly lose his mind?]

[Yeah, before, you could even find a Poké Ball in the bushes by the roadside, but there's nothing here?]

……

However, just as the comments were circulating and Sirona was about to control her character to turn around and leave, something strange happened!
Whoops! !
In the desert, a strong wind blew up without warning, sweeping up the sand and dust all over the sky, blocking the sunlight above.

The game screen went black, and a brand new CG appeared before everyone's eyes.

This time the CG perspective is quite grand and wide, and you can see an entire desert at a glance!

In the sandstorm that blocked out the sun and the sky, a gigantic figure began to appear faintly in the dust.

A moment later, when the sandstorm that came from nowhere dissipated, the true appearance of the huge figure appeared in front of everyone!
——It turned out to be a huge, crooked, spiral tower, only a few dozen meters high.

It stands across the desert, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The strong wind carried sand and dust as it passed by, as if it was separated by some mysterious force and did not touch the tower at all.

When this CG ended, as expected, an identical tower building had appeared in the center of the originally empty desert.

The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again.

[Damn it! I told you something was wrong, and there it is!]

[I suspect the game creator is monitoring this livestream and am requesting an investigation!]

"Is this a mirage? This tower... doesn't look like something that would appear here."

……

At this moment, Shirona looked at the tall tower in front of her, and the thoughts in her mind were actually exactly the same as the last barrage.

Because the appearance of the tower in front of us is simply incompatible with this desolate desert. The surface of the tower is covered with exquisite and complex patterns, alternating between white and red, full of a sacred, majestic and mysterious feeling.

Not only that, although the tower is tilted, its surface does not show any signs of erosion by time and wind and sand.

It's as if a building from another city was projected here.

So... is it really a mirage?

She subconsciously manipulated the character to move forward, but the next moment, something unexpected happened to her!
Her character successfully entered the interior of the tower, proving her guess wrong!
——This is indeed a tower that suddenly appeared and exists in reality!

Not only that, the moment the character stepped into the tower, a familiar feeling once again surged in Sirona's heart.

This time, the feeling was even stronger than when he touched the sword of decay!
Sirona suddenly became energetic!
There might be something in here that I'm looking for!

She began to look around carefully. This seemed to be the first floor of the tower. It was empty, with nothing around and no Pokémon appeared.

Not far ahead is a metal gate.

When Sirona controlled her character to the front of the door, a picture suddenly appeared on her screen.

On the picture were those ancient characters that she was already somewhat familiar with, and not only that, there were also three different symbols.

The first sign is a dark brown square.

The second symbol is a dark blue sphere.

The third sign is a long orange line.

At this moment, these three signs all look a little dim and without any luster, as if they are quietly waiting for someone to wake them up.

Shirona looked at the three icons in front of her and couldn't help but frowned slightly. She didn't quite understand what these three icons meant.

In that case, let’s start with the text.

Relying on her understanding of this ancient text, Shirona was able to understand part of the content of the text this time.

But just like last time, it was only a small part, limited to a few individual words, and the amount of information was even less than last time.

For example, [Wang].

For example... [Awakening].

So…what does this mean?
While Shirona was thinking, the audience in the live broadcast room became even more confused. They did not understand the meaning of these ancient characters, and expressed their own guesses about the three strange colors.

What does this mean? Do I need to put in items with corresponding attributes to activate it?

"No way! The altar for the legendary Pokémon just now hasn't even been activated yet, and now another one has appeared. Where are all the items coming from for them to eat?"

"I don't think that's what you mean. Didn't you see there aren't any altars or magic formations around here?"

……

Shirona glanced at the barrage of comments, then her eyes fell on the three patterns again and she thought for a while before deciding to go through the door in front of her to see what was happening on the next floor.

However, she soon discovered the problem.

Because as she pressed the interaction button on the door, a line of prompts suddenly popped up in front of her.

【This door seems to be locked. You can't open it for the time being. 】

Helplessly, Shirona began to look around for a way to open the door, but in the end she found nothing.

After trying for a while, she could only choose to take a screenshot of the picture and leave for the time being.

It’s the same as before. Once the teams studying ancient texts decipher all this information, I will be able to understand how to enter this door.

The next moment, as Shirona left the tower, a strange scene appeared again.

Another gust of sandstorm came from nowhere and swept across the entire desert again.

When the sandstorm subsided, the eerie tower had vanished, and the desert before them returned to its empty expanse. Cynthia gazed at the scene before her, lost in thought.

So, this tower should suddenly appear every time a sandstorm comes, and then suddenly disappear with the sandstorm?

This situation... is really magical.

So, in the real world, is there such a tower in a desert?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly found that there seemed to be something suddenly appearing on the open space where the tall tower was in front of her.

She controlled her character to move forward and saw that they were actually two old friends that she was somewhat familiar with.

Two prompts suddenly popped up in front of her eyes.

【You discovered a living fossil! 】

【You discovered a living fossil! 】

Two pictures follow.

——The fossil on the left is covered with traces left by dense tentacles.

——And the fossil on the right looks like it has an extremely sharp double-edged blade.

So, is this also a fossil of an ancient Pokémon?

Shirona's mind raced, and she was a little surprised.

Also, these densely packed tentacles...why do they look familiar?
By the way, the tentacle lily used by Azalea in the Kanaz Gym that I had challenged before looked quite similar to this fossil!
So this should be a fossil of tentacle lily?

So what about the other piece?

Shirona looked at the double blade, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized.

By the way, just now in Zhenghui’s research institute, the other party took out a similar fossil to show him.

According to him, the fossil came from an ancient Pokémon called Scythehelm, and this ancient Pokémon has not yet been discovered by the scientific research community!
Just as she was thinking, something strange happened. The desert under her feet suddenly began to tremble rapidly, and the two fossils in front of her began to sink into the desert at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A line of prompts suddenly popped up in front of her eyes.

[These two fossils seem to be entangled by vines. They are too heavy and time is running out! You can only choose one!]

【Please make your choice now! 】

The next moment, Shirona made a decision without hesitation and directly chose the fossil on the right with two sharp knives!
On the one hand, the scientific research community in the real world has conducted quite in-depth research on tentacle lilies, and has even drawn drawings that are somewhat similar to real tentacle lilies, but they are not as accurate as those in the game.

However, the ancient elf represented by the fossil on the right has no information about it in the scientific research community.

On the other hand... the Pokémon Tentacle Lily, if I remember correctly, has the grass-type attribute.

And there are already enough Grass-type Pokémon in his team.

And Shirona also felt that the attrition-based fighting style of the Pokémon Tentacle Lily was not suitable for her.

At this moment, as Shirona chose the fossil on the right and put it into her backpack, the fossil on the left began to fall rapidly and disappeared into the desert.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also started a discussion.

[Holy crap, are they sending fossils again? Nana-san is so lucky.]

"This fossil is so large, and it's similar to the previous one. Could it be the living fossil that Zhenghui mentioned? Doesn't that mean we can revive another fossil Pokémon today?"

[The previous one hasn't even resurrected yet, and now there's another one. Life is really getting more and more hopeful.]

[Host, please remember to go there later. I really want to see what kind of Pokémon this thing can revive.]

The audience in the live broadcast room were naturally very curious about what new ancient Pokémon could be resurrected from this fossil.

In response to their request, Sirona nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I've set the alarm. When the time comes, I'll go straight back to Qiuye Town to check on the fossil I found earlier. By the way, I'll ask Zhenghui if he can revive this fossil as well."

After accidentally obtaining a fossil, Shirona stopped exploring the desert and returned to Zijin City.

She walked towards the left side of Zijin City again, preparing to go to that small town, the "Green Tunnel" that could lead directly to Kanaz City.

When she walked past the entrance of the Violet Gym, she naturally passed by the flower field again.

The colorful flowers are still blooming brightly, swaying slightly in the wind.

Perhaps they are emitting a refreshing fragrance, but the players and audiences cannot feel it because of the screen.

Shirona couldn't help but take another look at these beautiful flowers.

It was at this moment that she suddenly noticed something: there was an open space next to the flower field!
According to Shirona's previous gaming experience, once the number of times she picked wild fruit reached the upper limit, the tree would disappear, leaving only an empty space like this.

This kind of open space seems to be available for players to plant fruit trees.

As long as you plant the fruits in it, new fruit trees should be able to grow, and you can harvest more fruits.

So, since fruit trees can be planted on this land, can the Gracitia flower seeds that I obtained before also be cultivated here?

Without hesitation, Shirona took out the seed from her backpack, walked to the soil, and pressed the interaction button.

However, the next moment, a line of prompts popped up in front of her:

[If you want to plant this seed, the soil here is too dry and needs watering! ]

Seeing this, Shirona thought for a moment, then released Lotte Kappa from the Poké Ball and pressed the interact button.

"Lotte Kappa, could you please help me water this land?"

"Cha~"

Lotte Kappa narrowed his eyes, shook his body, and immediately spit out a stream of water that soaked the land in front of him.

Shirona also breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally thought that she would have to obtain some kind of props to irrigate the land, but now it seems that the author did not make every interactive mechanism so rigid. Instead, it looks quite flexible.

This also indirectly shows that the degree of freedom of this game is indeed far beyond that of ordinary games.

While Shirona was thinking, she was about to put the seeds of Gracitia flowers into the soil.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Huh? Are those Gracitia seeds in your hand?"

The next moment, the owner of the flower field, the older sister in a skirt, came to Shirona's character with a smile, and looked at the red seed in her hand curiously.

"If that's the case, don't plant it in this place."

Shirona was stunned when she heard this, and immediately canceled the planting operation, pressed the interaction button and spoke.

"..These are indeed the seeds of that flower. Could you please tell me why they can't be planted here?"

The elder sister smiled slightly.

"Because in a place like this, Gracitia flowers can't grow successfully."

"This special flower can only survive in very cold, extremely cold areas. From germination to flowering, it must avoid high temperatures."

"Furthermore, Gracitia has very high requirements for soil quality. The soil here cannot provide the nutrients it needs to grow. Its roots are also very fragile, so it is best planted in relatively soft red soil."

"Also...if you want this flower to bloom successfully, it's not enough to just meet these conditions. You'll also need to use powder made from the edges of shellfish Pokémon shells to provide it with additional nutrients."

When Sirona heard this, she was stunned.

She didn't expect that growing this flower would require so many conditions.
So, is this real, or did the game's creators just write it themselves?

The moment this question came up, Sirona already had the answer in her mind.

——This should be true!
She had mentioned in her previous conversation with Professor Oak that Gracitia flowers once grew in the Tianguan Mountain area before they became extinct.

Tianguan Mountain is also the only area where this kind of flower is distributed!

——The land there just meets the multiple conditions of extremely low temperature all year round, sufficient nutrients, and extremely soft soil!

It’s exactly the same as what this older sister said!
