Chapter 505: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 238

Countless clouds of suspicion surrounded the sky above Mt. Coronet, as if mocking human ignorance and overestimation of their own capabilities.

After the archaeological work lasting nearly a month finally ended, Cynthia returned to her residence located in the Sinnoh League.

She subconsciously opened her phone, wanting to have a long-lost chat with Qingyu.

As a professional mythologist, she would never be disturbed by any private matters during working hours, focusing on her research.

However, now is the long-lost rest time.

Before returning to the League to continue fulfilling her duties as Champion, let's chat with Qingyu first.

Thinking of this, the corners of Cynthia's mouth unconsciously hooked into a beautiful arc.

It was also while opening the navigator that she suddenly recalled a scene that impressed her deeply during the Sinnoh New Year period when Qingyu was around.

He casually summarized the ancient legend of Arceus's creation, so he must have actively learned about Sinnoh history in his spare time.

And...

Grandma said "don't announce it to the public for the time being", but Qingyu is obviously not an outsider, right?

Maybe he, who is not a mythologist, can also give some useful suggestions from other perspectives?

With such an idea, Cynthia soon typed a paragraph of text on the screen—

【Cynthia: Qingyu, how much do you know about the legends of Sinnoh?】

When pressing the send button, Cynthia couldn't help but laugh out loud herself.

She was also a bit confused, Qingyu, a Gym Leader far away in Paldea, how could he know the new clues they discovered in Sinnoh?

Even they, the most professional mythologists, are at a loss, and it may need further research, is it a bit too rash to ask Qingyu?

Cynthia was thinking this way, but soon received Qingyu's reply.

【Qingyu: I know a little bit, actually I am also quite interested in legendary Pokémon, so maybe I can help you?】

On the other side of the screen, Qingyu shook his head helplessly.

"Is it said too modestly?"

Although he couldn't directly tell Cynthia the big words "you found the right person", he was indeed quite confident in this aspect.

Regarding the trivial details of archaeology, he might know much less than Cynthia and other mythologists.

But as a transmigrator with the memory of his previous life, he is very clear about the truth of this ancient legend of Sinnoh!

Let alone Sinnoh ancient history, even wild history of the Celestic region, such as "Cogita is actually the incarnation of the alpaca, just wanting my body and turning into a human form", "an ancient super Sinnoh person who used a ball to smash a legendary Pokémon and forcibly caught it", Qingyu could talk to her about it.

And it is highly probable that he is the only one in this world who knows these intelligence.

However...

I don't know what Cynthia found there, that even she herself came to him, wanting to get a result.

Wouldn't it really be digging up the slate left by the alpaca?

After the message was sent, what was waited for was not Cynthia's reply, but...

Video call invitation.

After Qingyu connected the call, Cynthia's holographic image soon appeared in front of him.

Having been out for archaeology with Professor Carolina's team for such a long time, Qingyu could clearly see a few traces of fatigue in Cynthia's eyes.

"Qingyu, is what you said true?"

Facing Cynthia's skeptical expression, Qingyu soon showed a smile.

"When have I ever lied to you? Teacher Yu's character is known to the audience in the live stream."

Hmm...

The Sun Gym's reputation is poor, what does it have to do with me, Qing?

Regarding Qingyu's confident performance, Cynthia smiled helplessly.

"Then, can 'Teacher Yu who knows a little bit' help me refer to the discovery on Mt. Coronet today?"

Cynthia soon described what she saw inside the Spear Pillar ruins in the form of oral narration.

And as her words went deeper, the expression on Qingyu's face also became complicated.

Good guy...

Almost instantly, Qingyu could determine that Cynthia and the others had discovered a big treasure this time.

Regarding mythology, Teacher Yu also knows a thing or two.

The Spear Pillar ruins have always had an extremely special meaning in Pokémon, not only the starting point for Arceus to create the Sinnoh region, but even possibly one of the mediums for Arceus to appear in the world.

And what they discovered is estimated to be the place used to summon the three Sinnoh gods.

What is the gap like a key?

Spear Key!

Qingyu remembers that the specific way to get this thing is in the Solaceon Ruins? You have to use the slate left by Arceus to enter the place where it is saved.

As for the three circular grooves, the hint is too obvious.

In the game, the three Sinnoh gods all have their own exclusive items, corresponding to the Lustrous Orb, Adamant Orb, and Griseous Orb.

However, Qingyu really doesn't know how the three orbs were obtained.

In Sinnoh, many things are hidden very deep.

But one thing is certain—

Since it was something Arceus deliberately left for humans, there must be clues left by it.

"Cynthia, you should still remember Arceus's creation process, right?"

Qingyu didn't answer her question directly, but threw out another question.

"Of course, it is said that it established the initial order, used the fragments of creating the world to make eighteen slates of different attributes, and shared this power selflessly with all its creations."

"..."

"Finally, completing the three great feats of creating the world, establishing order, and giving life, Arceus fell asleep in the place where it was born, until now."

Cynthia nodded and soon summarized it simply.

"But does this have anything to do with the discovery in the ruins?"

"Of course it does."

Qingyu nodded and asked unhurriedly:

"Arceus's creation of the world completely recorded the ancient humans' understanding of the world, and all legendary existences had their own missions, but only one thing's whereabouts were not mentioned."

"Where did the slates symbolizing Arceus's partial power go?"

Qingyu's casual sentence exploded in Cynthia's heart.

She soon realized what Qingyu meant by his words.

"So, the key to opening the truth is the eighteen slates that were deliberately hidden by mythological records?"

Cynthia spoke subconsciously, and at the same time, she began to think about the correctness of this conjecture.

Regarding the attribute slates suspected to be related to Arceus, with the exploration of the Sinnoh region over the years, they also know the whereabouts of some of them.

Even in Grandma's research institute, the Splash Plate and Flame Plate are preserved.

Although the slate is not a living thing, if the ancient characters recorded in it can be deciphered, it might really be related to the recent discovery...

"I understand."

Cynthia nodded again, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional—

I didn't expect that after so long, Qingyu could still have such an understanding of Sinnoh's historical legends.

If Qingyu could have stayed in Sinnoh and followed the team for archaeology with them, maybe with his perspective, he could have discovered more content that everyone ignored...

It's really a pity.
