Chapter 137

Earth Power is a special Ground-type attack move. It releases earth power under the opponent's feet, sometimes lowering the opponent's Special Defense.

"This kind of power itself uses the ley lines of the earth to attack. If used in the ruins, it will cause very serious damage to the ruins. Especially ruins with special effects."

Steven explained.

Xiang Guangtai thought of the "Giant Bear" mentioned by Lei Jiluo Ke at the first moment.

Judging from the description of Shi Zhu at the time, that giant bear is most likely the "Ursaluna" that had long been extinct in Hisui. As for whether the form is an ordinary Alpha Ursaluna or "Bloodmoon", this is not yet known.

But Xiang Guangtai feels that the probability of the other party being in the Bloodmoon form should not be very high.

Bloodmoon is a special form of Ursaluna... No, rather than a form, it is a special individual. A long time ago, one left Hisui, crossed the sea to a land called "Kitakami", and survived in the harsh environment there. Because the unique yellow moon pattern on its forehead was dyed red, it was called "Bloodmoon". It protects its body with mud as hard as iron and has a left eye that can see through the darkness.

The location of Kitakami is near Sinnoh. In a sense, the land of Shenhezhen and Kitakami are also connected, but the distance between them is a bit too far.

"Ursaluna?"

Steven was quite confused about Xiang Guangtai's guess, because Xiang Guangtai said a Pokémon he had never heard of. By the way, Xiang Guangtai has always been followed by a Pokémon he had never seen before, but because he was too focused on stones and Xiang Guangtai himself, he didn't pay much attention.

Judging from Xiang Guangtai's usual address, this Pokémon seems to be "Lilligant", but it looks completely different from the Lilligant he knows.

Xiang Guangtai: "It is a unique spirit from the ancient Sinnoh region. Ursaluna is the evolution of Ursaring, but it requires a special kind of soil. Similarly, my Lilligant is also in the form of ancient Sinnoh, because the environment of the land of Shenhezhen is very similar to ancient Sinnoh. At that time, Sinnoh was still called Hisui."

"Lei Ji—" Lei Jiluo Ke looked at Steven at this time and asked with some worry.

Xiang Guangtai: "It's asking you, if the energy flow of the ruins is destroyed, can it still be restored to its original state?"

"No problem, just adjust the flow of energy on the ground through psychic power and correct it. However, this also requires craft assistance. I will first carve the traces of the ley line energy flow on the ground..."

Steven squatted down and left traces with stones, starting to draw straight and intersecting routes like drawing a map.

Xiang Guangtai stared at Steven's technique, and information gradually gathered in his mind...!

【Actively learned a piece of knowledge.】

【Obtained: Guidance Graphic Drawing Knowledge.】

【Description: This is knowledge about how to accurately draw guide lines and graphics. Combined with spiritual ability and psychic power, you can draw automatic guide terrain maps and work maps out of thin air, and dashed lines will appear for guidance. Requires 'Map Craft'.】

【This knowledge, combined with advanced petrology knowledge, plays an important role in ruin exploration.】

"So that's how it is, I understand it completely."

Xiang Guangtai also squatted down. After watching Steven's technique intently, Xiang Guangtai also learned how to draw.

Steven was slightly startled, and then a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"As expected of Mr. Xiang Guangtai, you understood what I wanted to express just by looking at it a little. In short, just follow these carvings for guidance. I have explored many ruins, and most of them seal some kind of item, and I have also encountered some energy disturbances... but most of them were accidents."

"For example, there is an ancient ruin in the Hoenn region. There is a stone house there. Legend has it that it hides a door that connects the ancient Pokémon world with the current Pokémon world. And if you want to open this stone house, you must collect four different orbs from all over the place and embed them in the stone house to open it."

"This is a typical method of energy application, guiding the correct energy to the correct position... The sealing methods of many ancient ruins are extremely similar."

"However, when the ruins were finally opened, the truth of the legend was discovered. In fact, it was because there was groundwater inside, connected to the ocean, so there lived ancient Coelacanths like living fossils. Team Magma once thought it was the place where Groudon was sealed, so they tried to open it, but the result disappointed them greatly."

Steven talked about an interesting event from the past. Later, he was invited to investigate the ruins, and he also discovered interesting things about the four orbs. After all, they were also "special stones".

Team Magma only cared about finding Groudon and dismissed these precious gems, which made Steven feel that these people really didn't know the goods.

This also made Xiang Guangtai understand that the ruin exploration directions of Steven and Cynthia are different.

Steven mainly values the stones of the ruins, their production techniques, and special mechanisms, while Cynthia studies the ruins to uncover the roots of their construction and the legends related to them.

Speaking of which, in terms of the practicality of ruin exploration, Steven is actually better than Cynthia...

It sounds like treating friends as items, which is a bit strange.

Xiang Guangtai's expression is slightly subtle.

Then, the next step is his own working time!

"Thank you, Mr. Steven, leave the rest to me!"

"Everyone, get ready to work!"

Dou Jianqiao's sharp sword was unsheathed, green sharp light appeared on Lilligant's leaves, Turtwig shook its leaves, Metagross's eyes glowed with psychic energy, and Unown... blinked and found a wall to stick to.

Steven stared at Unown, rubbing his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, which made Unown E unhappy!

What are you doing!

Looking at me with malicious eyes! But I can't help with the repair of the ruins, what can I do if I don't stick to the wall!

I'm just a piece of trash!

"Unown's Hidden Power will play a big role in the ruins. Although there are no Unown in the Hoenn region, I have heard that Unown have the ability to sense people's hearts and turn those thoughts into reality. In the Johto region, I have also been invited to some ruins, discovered traces of Unown, and seen them use Hidden Power to activate ruin mechanisms with my own eyes."

"Why Unown's Hidden Power is different from the Hidden Power learned by regular Pokémon is still a mystery."

Unown E was stunned for a moment, and then its eyes became bright.

What's the matter, so you were praising me! And it turns out my power can also be used to repair ruins, you should have said so earlier!

"Unown~"

Its mood suddenly got better.

"So it turns out that Unown can also play a big role in repairing ruins... Environment, local conditions, the spirit of the ruins..." Xiang Guangtai murmured, looking at the collapsed wall in front of him and the huge stones piled around. Xiang Guangtai's consciousness began to concentrate, and through the drawing knowledge he had just obtained, he constructed a line drawing of the ruins when they were intact in his mind out of thin air!

This can greatly increase the efficiency of building buildings and repairing buildings!

Xiang Guangtai took out paper and drew pictures on it. The paper used was "Supernatural Paper". Drawing pictures on this kind of paper will cause hallucinations to confuse the reader, but in fact, this thing also has more uses.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the Supernatural Paper. When the last stroke was completed, the paper suddenly burst into cyan-white phosphorescence!

For example, now, when Xiang Guangtai drew the line draft of the graphics in his mind and gave it to other Pokémon, the Pokémon immediately fell into hallucinations and completely understood the "ruin graphics" that appeared in the hallucinations!

"3D modeling complete." Xiang Guangtai held the drawing high above his head. The ruin line draft projected by the paper instantly covered the entire ruin. The blue light of spiritual hallucinations lit up in the pupils of the Pokémon at the same time, and the ancient architectural structure was gradually being carved into their consciousness!

This can make them better help him!

"Yo-woo~!" Dou Jianqiao understood the fastest. After all, it is a Ghost-type, and hallucinations can't trap it at all, so it immediately kept those images in its heart, and sharp Psychic-type light appeared on its double swords!

And the second one to break free was Lilligant. Its leaves swayed. Although there is still a gap between it and Dou Jianqiao in carving technology, as long as it cooperates with Dou Jianqiao, then there is no problem at all!

So, now is the time to use "Psycho Cut/Ye Ren"!

Xiang Guangtai looked at Metagross and found that it had long since gotten rid of the influence of the hallucinations. It nodded slightly to Xiang Guangtai, indicating that it had understood those graphics.

Metagross has a complex neural network in its brain and is a Pokémon smarter than a supercomputer. Through the parallel processing of four brains, any calculation can be completed in an instant!

Just a few graphics, it's a piece of cake!

Then, the next step is the transportation of giant stones, which can be left to "Confusion" and "Psychic"!

Metagross began to use psychic power to transport stones according to the graphics provided by Xiang Guangtai. The psychic beam pulled and cleared the architectural debris scattered everywhere at the same time; Lei Jiluo Ke used Rock-type moves to create stones, and together with Metagross, moved the stones and transported giant stones from near the Rock Mountain ruins.

With the help of two large Pokémon, the available stone materials soon increased. Steven saw this and released another Metang, and asked it to use psychic power to help!

Turtwig shook its head and used Razor Leaf to cut those stone materials into the correct shape!

Lilligant's Ye Ren followed closely and cut into the rock layer, and the emerald light blade intertwined into a net on the surface of the giant stone. When it spun and danced, the flying leaves automatically calibrated the precision of the carving, and Dou Jianqiao's two long swords crossed to draw the trajectory of Psycho Cut, accurately replicating the carved patterns in the illusion.

Xiang Guangtai concentrated and began to focus on his work.

The walls were rebuilt, the stones were piled in their proper places, and psychic power compressed them tightly. Psycho Cut and Ye Ren carved out the rough general shape on the stones at a very fast speed, and Xiang Guangtai's tools followed closely to carve, and the style of Shenhezhen reappeared in this destroyed ruin.

The atmosphere of antiquity gradually permeated, and the patterns on the surface of the walls were becoming clear and sharp at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This ruined ruin is ushering in a new life at an incredible speed!

"What's going on with this feeling... this ruin is...?!"

Steven initially watched the repair of the Rock Mountain ruins intently, but gradually, he began to notice that this ruin had undergone incredible changes!
