Chapter 152: Sky Pillar! (Thanks to Shiye|?ω?`)'s Medal God Certification Bonus Chapter)

After successfully obtaining Diancie's agreement and, as wished, taking a commemorative photo with her,

Da Wu then hurriedly brought Ash to the side of the sealed wooden slip.

"This is the wooden slip excavated from the ruins, though it may be destined to disappoint you."

"Why would you say that?"

Ash, Serena, and the others all showed doubtful expressions,

Da Wu let out a sigh,

"After our research, this wooden slip is only half; it records the existence of the megalith, but the method to find the megalith should be on the other half, which we currently cannot know."

Even Shirona shook her head in disappointment.

We originally thought we would make a big discovery this time, but unexpectedly the result we got was stuck in the middle, neither here nor there,

This feeling of clearly knowing something but being unable to obtain it is utterly more painful than not knowing anything at all.

It turns out they were worried about this matter,

Ash smiled.

"I've calculated on my fingers, and someone should be delivering the other half soon."

Everyone: ……

Da Wu: "When did you start getting into pretending to be mystical?"

Just then, three figures approached the camp together,

The leader among them was none other than Furadali, standing over two meters tall with a head of brown hair like a male lion's.

The two people following him were one male and one female, one dressed in blue and the other in green.

The male wore all blue and was Ai Lan, while the female wearing a green hat was the rookie trainer Ma Nong, whom Ai Lan had picked up midway.

"No, Ash the Duke wasn't mistaken after all—I happen to have the information for the other half of the wooden slip right here."

"Who is it?"

Everyone looked doubtfully toward the tent entrance.

Furadali's huge frame, over two meters tall, instantly gave everyone a tremendous sense of oppression.

An old researcher directly raised his hand to cover his chest, "This person's height…"

However, not everyone would be intimidated by Furadali's height.

For example, Shirona, who is devoted to archaeology,

first glanced at Ash in shock,

then looked at Furadali with a doubtful yet solemn gaze,

"Mr. Furadali, you're not joking, are you?"

"I wouldn't dare! In front of two Champions, how could I dare to joke like that?"

While speaking,

Furadali lightly tapped his finger on the watch on his wrist,

a photo was instantly projected onto everyone from the watch's projection.

While showing the photo to everyone, Furadali also did not forget to introduce its origin.

"You all know that, as the sole prince of the Kalos region, my ancestors have collected many strange and unusual items, and this wooden slip is one of them."

"That is quite plausible; long ago, a giant from the Kalos region visited the Abundant Source Region and even planted a giant tree seed in front of the Awakening Temple's gate."

Mikeli expressed his agreement,

"Speaking of which, Mr. Furadali's height is also somewhat exaggerated; thinking about it, perhaps that historical figure who came to visit the Abundant Source Region was actually royalty from Kalos."

"Maybe so,"

Furadali didn't expect Mikeli to actually help him flesh out the setting,

but this is fine; his participation makes things even more natural.

"The urgent matter is to first interpret the complete content of the wooden slip."

"Exactly!"

Da Wu immediately turned his gaze to Shirona and the group of archaeologists,

"We'll have to rely on Champion Shirona and all of you for this."

Speaking of which, it's also embarrassing,

that despite so many archaeological experts from the Abundant Source Region, it was Shirona who first deciphered the wooden slip's content.

It's truly embarrassing enough to go to Sinnoh,

No, wait—this time we also have Ash and Furadali, plus Kalos, Kanto, and Chengdu.

This time Shirona has already roughly parsed the previous part's content; with so many people now and the accumulated experience from before, we surely can't still lose to Shirona, right?!

The result is obvious,

Shirona's talent in archaeology truly cannot be denied.

She used hardly more than a minute,

and Shirona had fully deciphered the content on the wooden slip.

"To find the megalith, one must use the keystone to open the ruin's gate and unveil a brand‑new path never seen before!"

"The ruin's gate? Could it be that one?!"

As if recalling something,

Shirona directly ran out of the tent and came to the altar at the center of the open‑air ruins.

Everyone closely followed behind.

On the altar stood two massive stone pillars, erected on either side of it.

Various characters are also drawn on the altar and stone pillars.

"There's no mistake, this must be the door indicated on the wooden slips."

"But how do we activate it?"

Da Wu looked doubtful,

"The key stone……could it be a Super Evolution Key Stone?"

"Try it?"

As they spoke, Da Wu and Xi Luo Na each walked to the side of the two stone pillars, touching the pillar with the arm wearing the Super Evolution Key Stone bracelet.

The next moment, a dazzling seven-colored light suddenly appeared, like liquid flowing into a channel; under the light's illumination, the patterns became clearly visible to everyone, rising from the bottom upward, and at the same time a huge impact force directly flung Da Wu and Xi Luo Na away.

"Ah!"

The person involved exclaimed in surprise, and the onlookers exclaimed even more.

"Be careful!"

Although this scene was beyond Ash's expectations,

but Ash's response was not slow; with quick eyes and hands, he quickly reached out to encircle Xi Luo Na's waist, his hands clasping like a buckle, tightly holding her, and relying on her ample bust, he successfully held her, preventing her from falling from the altar.

However,

"Hiss! It hurts so much!"

After Ash let go, Xi Luo Na immediately reached out to massage the sore spot, and with her right eye not covered by her golden hair, she gave Ash a glance.

At the same time,

On the other side, Da Wu was fine because the tall and sturdy Fu La Da Li happened to be standing behind him.

It was Fu La Da Li's lungs that were really uncomfortable from being pressed.

"Help Da Wu."

Upon hearing this, Da Wu and Mi Ke Li exchanged a glance with Fu La Da Li, all nodded, and stood beside the stone pillar.

At the same time, they turned their gazes toward Xi Luo Na's side,

However, to everyone's surprise, Ash alone stood beside the stone pillar.

"What does this mean?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion, but Ash had no intention of explaining.

The moment his arm touched the stone pillar, light surged up,

"Here it comes!"

Da Wu called out nervously,

"Don't be afraid, we're behind you!"

"That's right!"

Mi Ke Li and Fu La Da Li braced their shoulders against Da Wu's, gritting their teeth and exerting force.

In contrast, Ash on the other side seemed fine, easily suppressing the repulsive force with one hand.

"This this this..."

Their gazes continually flicked to the calm and relaxed Ash,

and back and forth to the towering Fu La Da Li, over two meters tall but with trembling legs.

A group of veteran researchers who thought they had seen it all were completely dumbfounded by this scene.

"Who said tonnage equals combat power?"

"Ash's power is just too great."

Just as everyone was astonished, energy steps appeared in the air behind the two stone pillars, eventually reaching straight to the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

The whole process lasted about two and a half minutes,

The light on the stone pillars faded, but the steps behind the door did not disappear.

"Unbelievable, too unbelievable!"

"The scientific wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing!"

"Wow ⊙? ⊙! Gege we really didn't come for nothing!"

Amid the exclamations, Ash took the lead and stepped onto the steps.

Contrary to the expectation that the steps were merely an illusion, the scene of stepping into empty air did not occur,

this light-emitting staircase was indeed substantial.

However, Ash still turned back and reminded everyone in a few words: "Be careful, oh, definitely don't fall down!"

……

The group walked on the steps, traveling for about half an hour more.

At this point, not to mention trees only a dozen meters tall,

even mountains over a thousand meters high beside the ruins appeared utterly tiny in everyone's eyes.

Only the summit of the largest mountain, which was also their destination for this trip, remained,

after stepping onto the final step,

on the cliff's summit, amidst swirling clouds and mist, a ruined ancient town faintly came into view.

Among the crumbling walls and broken ruins, vines entwined, and the marks of time were heavily etched into every brick and tile,

the wind passing through the cracks left by countless battles and erosion let out a mournful, sobbing sound.

Although the houses were dilapidated, they still exuded an ancient beauty and solemnity, silently narrating past glory and vicissitudes.

Along the way, Mi Ke Li, of the Glazed People, recalled those legends of his ancestors,

upon entering the cylindrical relic at the center, his expression involuntarily turned strange.

Here……Could this be the Sky Pillar that enshrines Rayquaza, passed down from our ancestors, as told in legend? The legendary stories our ancestors told are also true!?

The remains of the Sky Pillar enshrining the giant stone and Rayquaza
