Pokémon: Encounter

Double Dragons Playing with Phoenix (crossed out)

Two dragons and one bird flew quickly toward the top of the tower, sticking to the wall of the Sky Pillar.

Sitting on the back of Dabito, Nanfang stared at the pillar of sky in front of him.

Overall, the structure of the Sky Pillar is not much different from some modern stone towers. It presents a typical tower style, with a stone window about one person tall and wide on each floor. The snow-white walls are carefully carved with various intricate patterns and some exquisite carvings similar to murals.

Facing this ancient building, Nan Fang couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: The wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing!

He seemed to be able to imagine the scene when those hardworking craftsmen carefully built this pillar of the sky. They may have spent countless time and energy to present this great building to the world.

But unfortunately, the Pillar of the Sky can only sleep quietly in this secret realm now.

These patterns and carvings are not just decorations, but more like a kind of narration, showing people the splendor and depth of ancient culture. They carry the memory of history and witness the vicissitudes of time. Gazing at these exquisite works of art, Nan Fang felt a surge of admiration for the ancients.

Take back your thoughts.

As the altitude continued to rise, the air became thinner and breathing became more and more difficult for the people. They began to feel dizzy.

After holding on for a while, as the three of them broke through the clouds one after another, a spectacular and beautiful scene appeared before their eyes.

The huge platform square was spotless, and under the sunlight it looked like a smooth mirror. On each corner of the triangular tower stood a tall stone pillar, with a light green gem inlaid on the top, emitting a faint fluorescence.

At the innermost part, there is a building similar to a sacrificial or offering building, also inlaid with two gems. It was the place where the people of Meteor once prayed to the sky, the Altar of the Phantom Dragon.

When we got closer to the south side of the platform, we discovered that several cracks of varying sizes had appeared on this majestic square.

Indeed, no matter how strong a fortress is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time. This is an inescapable mark of history.

As the three landed one after another, Xijiana called out softly to the surroundings.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Not long after, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of a wooden stick hitting the stone slabs, a white-haired old woman, leaning on a cane, walked up the stone steps below the stage step by step.

Xijiana walked over quickly, raised her hand to help the old woman up and walked towards the altar.

Nan Fang glanced behind the old woman and noticed that a stone slab similar to an elevator was slowly slowing down and becoming level with the ground.

"Hey! Xijiana, don't tell me that's an elevator!?" Nan Fang was skeptical.

"slow."

Xi Jiana rolled her eyes at Nan Fang. She knew what Nan Fang wanted to say, so she only responded with one word.

"6".

"Xijiana, are these your friends? That's great, as long as you work hard, you can make friends, hehe." The old woman smiled kindly.

Nan Fang had just started to smile when the old woman continued.

"Then, which one is my grandson-in-law? Both of these guys are handsome, but the one over there looks a little dull, but it doesn't have much of a impact."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Xijiana blushed and gently nagged her grandmother.

"You're still shy, haha. It's better to do it earlier than later. I can hold my great-grandson sooner."

"Back then, you and your mother..."

At this point, the old woman hesitated for a moment, then sighed. Xijiana's face was gloomy and she said nothing.

Noticing the dull atmosphere, Nan Fang took the initiative to speak.

"Nowadays, people emphasize free love, and Xi Jiana is still young. She needs to enjoy the outside world and make more friends. Only in this way can she have better choices~"

"Haha, yes, what you said makes sense."

"I like you as a young man. Do you want to consider it?"

"It's okay to wait a few years, just make sure the relationship is established first."

The old woman was diverted from the topic and started talking again.

"Oh, come on, Grandma! Stop joking, we have some serious work to do!"

Xijiana also knew that her grandmother's idea was entirely for her own good, but she had to stop her grandmother at this moment, otherwise she would drag everyone here to chat all day.

After much persuasion, everyone finally started talking to the old woman about important issues.

"Do you want to try to call upon the God of the Sky?" the old woman asked seriously.

Xi Jiana looked to the south. To be honest, she didn't think this attempt would be meaningful.

She had tried praying at the altar countless times. Even though she had the seven-colored meteorite, the inheritance of the Meteor People, in her hand, the sky above her head still did not respond.

Therefore, Xijiana decided to take risks and take the initiative to move between various forces to find a solution.

"Don't forget, we have additional equipment this time! That gem!" Nan Fang was a little excited.

"Anyway, we don't have a definite goal yet. Instead of running around like a headless fly, why not give it a try now? What if?"

Shigana's eyes lit up. Her original plan was to hope that the fight between Kyogre and Groudon would cause a disaster and force Rayquaza to come out and stop them.

Later, because of the intervention of the South, he changed his opinion.

But later, due to Chiyansong's arrogance, by accident, the indigo orb that could control Groudon fell into his hands.

This method works.

"But if there is only one orb...is it really okay?" Xijiana's eyes dimmed again.

"Who cares if it works or not? Just give it a try once!"

So at Nanfang's urging, Xijiana took out the indigo orb from her pocket.

"You...you actually found the indigo orb?"

The moment she saw the orb, Grandma Elder, Xijiana's grandmother, suddenly became excited.

"Such pure and infinite energy... maybe this time, you can really succeed."

The South is puzzled.

"Grandma, do you know infinite energy?"

"Of course. I have been guarding the altar for nearly a hundred years, but this is the first time except for the last time...except for the last time when my daughter successfully summoned the Dragon God and felt that power."

The daughter of Granny Elder, so she must be Shijiana's mother. It turns out that her mother actually successfully summoned Rayquaza.

"The so-called infinite energy is actually a special energy transformed from the life energy of Pokémon."

"In theory, it exists in any Pokémon's body, the only difference is the amount."

"You can understand that small amounts of use and consumption are the daily needs of living things, or even the process of birth, aging, illness and death."

“But when this force is placed in a certain medium and resonates with another force, it will explode into amazing changes.”

"That is what you all know as Mega Evolution."

Listening to Grandma Elder's story, several people from the South stood there in a daze.

I didn't expect there was such a connection between them.

Although Nan Fang had actually had some guesses before, he was still quite shocked when Granny Elder told him the inside story herself.

"Then why haven't I heard you mention these things to me before? Then why don't I just go and collect various key stones and evolution stones?"

There was a hint of regret and complaint in Xijiana's tone.

Ald sighed.

"Each Pokémon has a different amount and type of life energy. Each pair of keystones and evolution stones belongs only to its corresponding owner."

"If you want to summon the Dragon God, and use the infinite energy of the mottled energy, then its total amount will be so huge that you can't imagine it."

"In other words, tens of thousands of lives will be sacrificed." Elder looked at Xijiana and said in a deep voice.

If that's true, then what's the difference between what Daigo is doing now? Shijiana fell silent.

"Then mother-in-law! What do you mean by purity?" Nan Fang realized that the other party might have something else to say.

"That is another kind of infinite energy. The original energy nurtured by nature."

"It's true that this orb is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, but the energy it contains belongs to nature."

Elder stared at the orb in Xijiana's hand in a daze.

This trip to the tower benefited the people from the south a lot, and many things that they had been unable to understand before were now solved.

Elder returned to the tower and prepared dinner for the southerners.

Because the best time to pray is when the sky is full of stars.
