Pokémon: Back to high school, I became a Pokémon master

"The graveyard of geniuses?"

Upon hearing this name, Yue Xiaowei's usually calm demeanor wavered slightly.

Zhou Wenchao recalled what Xia Yuchen had told him and pondered for a moment. Could it be that the senior had sacrificed himself here? And was Xia Yuhe's Laishilamu also connected to this place?

“Yes!” Xia Yuhe nodded gently. “This is the sacred ground of the Ross Alliance, with extraordinary symbolic significance. I have some connection with this place, so it is open to me as well.”

At this point, her expression changed slightly.

"Let me tell you a story. Since ancient times, there has been a legend about the Dragon Spiral Tower. It is said that two powerful and mysterious forces are sealed inside this tower. Whoever can master these forces can have the power to change the world. The people who control this tower yearn for these forces. They want to control these forces and use them for their own purposes."

but......"

Xia Yuhe's voice became somewhat hoarse: "There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world."

"The people who were in charge of this tower began to make continuous attempts. This tower was different from ordinary towers. It had its own consciousness and could not be entered by just anyone. Only those who met certain conditions could enter. So they began to make attempts."

"They keep selecting geniuses to try out, all of them are one in a hundred geniuses, the best among their peers, but in front of this tower, geniuses and mediocre people seem to be no different."

Of the first batch of people selected, less than one-tenth met the criteria. They were not the most outstanding, but they had their own principles.

Not long after, none of those who entered emerged—not a single one. What happened to them afterward? No one knows; they probably died. From this point on, the people who controlled the tower confirmed the legend's truth. They became even more frenzied, relentlessly and intensifying their selection of suitable individuals to enter the tower.

But without exception, none of them returned; they vanished without a trace. It wasn't until a significant generational gap appeared among them that these people realized the gravity of the situation. Those who controlled the tower changed hands repeatedly. Then, one person emerged who suppressed all information about the tower and prevented large-scale entry into the tower in an attempt to seize its power.

"It must be said that the decision made by that person was very correct, but some people couldn't resist the temptation and occasionally sent some people in. Although that person knew about it, he did not stop it because he still had a sliver of wishful thinking in his heart."

"Countless generations and years have passed, and batches of 'geniuses' have been buried in history. They still have not mastered the legendary power! Until that day, some outsiders came here."

Xia Yuhe's emotions seemed to fluctuate slightly, and she had an indescribable feeling. "Among that group of outsiders, there was a couple whose relationship was very good. They were the envy of everyone at the time. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be together, fall in love, get married, have children, and live a loving life together."

"The girl in this couple is not a well-behaved girl. She is cheerful and lively and often takes the boy on trips. The boy is mature and steady, and he is also willing to accompany the girl on adventures."

Unfortunately, they arrived at this tower. Out of curiosity, the girl suggested venturing inside, but the boy thought it best to be cautious since he wasn't familiar with the local customs.

But after the girl persistently pleaded with him, the boy thought about it for a while and finally agreed because of her. At first, the two couldn't find the entrance to the tower, but the girl unintentionally activated some of the tower's properties…

A dazzling white light shot into the sky from the girl's body, illuminating an area of ​​several miles around. Seeing this, the girl knew she had caused trouble, and it was too late for her to leave.

In the darkness, she established a connection with the tower; a white mark appeared on her wrist. She clearly sensed that something within the tower was awakening!

Xia Yuhe slightly raised her arm. Zhou Wenchao and Yue Xiaowei's vision was already beyond that of normal people. They could vaguely see that there was a blurry, pale white hexagonal pattern on the inside of Xia Yuhe's right wrist.

Is that girl her?

Yue Xiaowei's mind raced, and she opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

"Later, after those people learned how the girl felt, they wanted to keep her. However, among that group of outsiders were the girl's elders, who were not afraid of the locals. In the end, they made a concession."

They wanted the girl to enter and attempt to control that power; they gave her an identity, making her a semi-owner of the tower. Of course, they only hoped that the final decision-making power would remain with the girl.

"Do you know why they're so keen on the girl? They'd rather give up control of half the tower than not let her in?"

As if answering her own question, Xia Yuhe continued, "That white light was the key to enter the tower, and the white light caused by the girl was the most dazzling ever recorded, and the only time that signs of a creature awakening inside the tower were sensed. Therefore, they believed that the girl was the chosen one, and they saw the hope of mastering this power!"

"Finally, the girl made her decision. She chose to enter the tower because the call from within was growing stronger and stronger, constantly stimulating her and urging her to go inside. And that's just like the girl's nature; she also wanted to find out what was inside."

"However, the boy was worried about the girl going in alone, and he wanted to go in with her. But it wasn't something that could be done at will; he needed the tower's permission."

The boy's test also elicited a response from the tower, but unlike the girl's white light, he emitted a black light, proving that he was qualified to enter.

But he didn't sense anything inside the tower. Nevertheless, the boy was very happy that he could enter the tower with the girl.

"The girl was afraid something might happen to the boy and didn't want him to go in, but the boy had already made up his mind, so the two of them went into the tower hand in hand. Since no one had ever come out of there before, they had no prior experience and could only figure things out on their own."

"Inside was a huge maze. If it weren't for the girl's senses guided by that mark, they might have been lost long ago. After an unknown amount of time inside, the two finally arrived in front of a palace."

"The girl clearly sensed that the thing calling out to her was inside!"
