Chapter 1317 Pure White Frozen Soil
Including the lightning stone slab, I now have ten pieces of cypress wood, bringing me one step closer to my goal.
Next target—
【Pure white permafrost】.
Located at the northernmost tip of the Xicui region, amidst a snow-covered ice field.
The perennial snow covers everything, and it's hard to imagine how people living here prevent snow blindness.
Perhaps we don't need to take precautions?
Kashiwagi only knew that the Pearl team members were all in very good physical condition and didn't even need to wear coats when they went out.
That's right!
I'm talking about pearl oysters!
He remembered that this girl would feel hot even when she was in the pure white permafrost, and her body temperature regulation function was quite abnormal!
Cypress wore a cloak, covering her head completely, leaving only her eyes and nostrils exposed.
Although his current physique and the lava suit he was wearing were more than enough to withstand the cold of the frozen tundra, he didn't want to experience too much hardship.
It can withstand the cold, but it will get cold.
"Aren't you going back to Zhuqing Village?"
"Polygon II asked curiously."
It remembered that Kashiwagi had promised Hikari—or rather, Hikari—that he would go back and visit.
Bai Mu said, "Let's talk about it after we get the two stone slabs from the pure white frozen soil."
When I get back, Dr. Laben will probably keep bothering me with all sorts of questions. I can rest and recuperate in Zhuqing Village for a couple of days then.
"Sigh!"
The three-headed dragon roared, gesturing for the trainer to look into the distance.
To avoid the biting cold winds in the sky, it is currently flying at an altitude that is almost touching the ground, which makes the journey to the pure white permafrost a bit longer.
They left from the other side of Tianguan Mountain around 8 a.m., and it was now close to evening, with the sky gradually darkening.
If they can't see the pearl settlement again, they'll probably have to find a cave to spend the night.
Fortunately, the simple map provided by Bei Shang was reliable enough.
"Indeed, it is nestled against the mountains and beside the water."
He gazed down at the gently flowing river; the pink and white snow houses belonging to the Pearl Settlement were not particularly noticeable.
The only eye-catching thing was the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.
The warmth of everyday life!
Pearl Village is also the only place in the vicinity where the soil and rock layers are exposed, and there are even vegetable gardens.
When the three-headed dragons came closer, he was surprised to see many members of the Pearl Team dressed in thick clothes.
It's clear that not all members of pearl settlements are like pearl oysters, unafraid of the frigid white tundra, and willing to go bare-shouldered and bare-legged.
Their cold resistance rivals that of Hokkaido hot girls!
As is customary, Cypress did not fly into Pearl Village rashly, but instead walked in from the outside.
"I'm looking for Zhu Bei, is she there?"
Kashiwa asked in a loud voice.
Many members of the Pearl Team looked over when they heard the sound, but instead of greeting him immediately, they stared at him with strange looks and whispered among themselves.
Is it because no one recommended you?
Although he wasn't treated very well in King Kong Settlement, he was at least much more popular than here.
We waited in place for two or three minutes.
From a house in the distance, Guana and another member of the Pearl Team ran out. The latter pointed at him from afar, and Guana, who was looking at him, quickly approached.
"Kashiwagi!"
She said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! Zhubei went to find her master and hasn't returned yet."
Pearl Shell's master was Hama Ren, the fifth manager of the Pearl Team. He was able to go shirtless even in freezing weather, which clearly indicates that he was an ancestor of Defu, the Gym Leader of the Kalos Gym.
However, he was even braver than Defu. Defu had to wear a jacket and vest while staying in the dojo, but he didn't need to wear anything and went shirtless.
His powerful masculinity practically emanated from the pearl emblem on his chest.
The "King" he was taking care of was the Emerald Ice Rock Monster, the largest of all the "Kings".
Therefore, he was called the King of the Snowfield.
"It's alright, do you have any spare rooms here?" Kashiwagi wasn't in a hurry to find Hamaren; his phone had just given a blizzard warning—
Its weather forecast does not require satellites; it can calculate based on factors such as air humidity and temperature on its own.
The computing power increases dramatically after level 90, that's how awesome it is.
Guana, of course, couldn't possibly kick him out. "If you don't mind, come stay at my place for a bit!"
"your home?"
Kashiwagi raised an eyebrow; after all, he was an adult male!
Guana sensed something from his unusual tone and belatedly realized, "Ah! I live with my parents, not alone!"
She awkwardly waved her hand to explain.
Kashiwagi nodded. "I see. Thank you for your kind offer, but it's not necessary."
It wasn't that he couldn't compromise, but he didn't trust the other members of the Pearl Team, and he preferred to avoid trouble.
"If the weather is good tomorrow morning, I will come again. Please tell Zhubei for me."
He mounted the dragon, preparing to head to the Snow Peak Temple, and also to meet Wasabi, the captain of the Kongo Team there.
Guana wanted to try to persuade him again, but the three-headed dragon flew too fast, and she could only watch it disappear into the distance.
The Pearl Team member who had just helped guide them asked in a low voice, "Guana, is he the one who said Palkia wasn't the Sinnoh Grandmaster?"
Guana nodded. "Mm."
"It's only because we yearn for peace now that this heretic dared to come to us. Decades ago, he wouldn't have been able to even leave the village."
The Pearl Team members shook their heads and sighed, both for the other team's good fortune and for the Pearl Team's changed circumstances.
Guana smiled casually and did not refute.
Her situation in Team Pearl wasn't exactly good either. If Growlithe hadn't successfully evolved into Arcanine this time, she would have heard a lot of rumors and gossip.
A few moments.
Snowflakes began to fall from the white sky.
Before the blizzard arrived, Zhubei, dressed lightly, returned and learned from others that Bai Mu had visited and that Guana had received him.
"Miss Guana! Where is Kashiwagi?"
Guana then recounted everything that had just happened.
Zhu Bei was both relieved and disappointed. She was relieved that she had not been able to persuade her master, but disappointed that Bai Mu had not been able to stay overnight in the pearl settlement.
She still had a lot to learn from him.
More importantly, she heard from Goku that Kashiwagi had spent two days with the Kongo Team, and that entertaining the messenger of the Great Lord of the Divine Realm was something that they, the descendants of the Divine Realm, should do!
"We'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Pearl returned home dejectedly.
The blizzard outside was raging, and she couldn't help but wonder where Bai Mu was right now, and whether he would freeze to death.
Probably not.
Zhubei believed in the identity of Kashiwagi Shinono Daisou as his envoy.
-
Snow Peak Temple.
Located at the northernmost point of the Sinnoh region, atop a majestic snow-capped mountain.
It resembles a vast palace forged from snow-capped rocks, its silvery eaves piercing the cold mist and blending seamlessly with the year-round snow.
The Pearl Team stationed men here, but perhaps because almost no one would come here, the guards were unusually lazy.
"Ah~"
He yawned listlessly until he saw the approaching cypress tree, which jolted him awake.
"who!"
The guards raised their spears.
Before Kashiwagi could answer, Wasabi, the team's captain, happened to walk out from inside...
No.
She had foreseen it.
"You really came! Just like Gangshi said, I saw you!" Wasabi skipped happily and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Wasabi~ Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kashiwagi." Kashiwagi asked curiously, "How far can you 'see'?"
"..."
Wasabi's eyes were wide open, a sign that she was constantly observing the future.
She had a pair of green pigtails, wore a thick fur hat, and was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, making her look petite and cute.
Wasabi is most likely under ten years old. The reason she became the farm manager is because of the mysterious power she possesses.
She observed Kashiwagi for a long time, then suddenly rubbed her eyes and said, "You're very strange. I can only see things about you in the more recent period of time; the future beyond that is very blurry."
"So how far into the future are you seeing?"
Kashiwagi wasn't too surprised that Wasabi couldn't see himself clearly, after all, he was special in that way.
Wasabi still didn't answer, and continued, "Now I believe you're an emissary of the Sinnoh Grand Master, but! I want to play hide-and-seek with you~"
She said, "Come and capture me at the Snow Peak Temple. Once you've captured me, I'll tell you what you want to know."
With that, she turned and ran into the temple, calling out, "Guard, could you please hold him off for three minutes?"
"Understood!"
The guard actually listened to her.
Keep in mind that the guards are from the Pearl Team, while Wasabi belongs to the Kongo Team.
All I can say is that wasabi is quirky enough to win the guard's favor.
Cypress remained at the door, staring at the guard.
"So you're the guy who calls himself the messenger of the Great Lord of Sinnoh?" the guard asked in a hostile tone.
He seemed to think that Kashiwagi was a fraud.
Kashiwagi smiled but didn't respond, instead pondering something else—
Deep within this place, perhaps Regigigas dwells?
If he releases the three Divine Pillars and the Dragon Pillar, will it awaken them?
If I remember correctly, Regigigas should also have a stone tablet, the nineteenth one separate from the eighteen, called the Clear Sky Tablet.
It can convert Arceus's attributes into normal attributes.
The reason for the appearance of this stone slab is that Pokémon are said to be unable to hold items, so the only way to fix Arceus to a certain type is through the stone slab.
To restore it to its normal properties, you will need to use the Clearing Stone.
Cypress was quite hesitant.
In the game, you need to capture Regigigas to obtain the Clear Sky Tablet. Is he capable of capturing it now?
Forget it.
Let's wait until we get the 'King's' stone tablet before we talk about it.
Three minutes passed quickly.
Kashiwa looked at the guard, who snorted but didn't make things difficult for him, turning his head away and waving his hand.
"Thank you."
He smiled and nodded, leading the three-headed dragon into the Snow Peak Temple.
Unlike the silvery-white snow walls on the exterior, the interior of the Snow Peak Temple presents an ancient bronze color.
Torches were lit inside, illuminating the spacious main hall.
Inside the main hall, there are stone pillars on both sides. From the head, they look like icicles; from the shoulders, they look like rock pillars; and from the hands, they look like steel pillars.
It can be described as a three-in-one divine pillar!
It held a square stone in front of its chest, on which were engraved patterns of some kind of attribute.
Kashiwagi glanced at it, "Rock attribute?"
The statues next to it are holding ice and steel attributes.
At the very front of all the statues stands another spherical statue.
This is very similar to the statue that sealed the dragon pillar and the electric pillar back then, which made Kashiwagi curious whether someone else was sealed inside.
Regigigas is impossible. Regigigas is a small, private room; he wouldn't be so lacking in prestige.
Meanwhile, Hydreigon discovered a huge bronze bell in a corner, which they suspected was the boss Pokémon.
“Shh…”
Before it could roar, the Bronze Bell Chief flew away on its own.
Even the Pokémon of the Green Age understood which beings they could mess with and which they couldn't.
Therefore, Kashiwagi has basically never encountered a wild Pokémon that had its eyes on him from 800 miles away and immediately rushed over.
Quickly move to the deepest part.
A giant wall with patterns representing the three elements of ice, steel, and rock blocked their path.
Without a doubt, this is what is known as access control.
Decoding is required to proceed to the next level.
However, the access control system in front of me is exactly the same as the one in the game; in other words, it only has an 8+ level of puzzle-solving ability.
He recalled the statue he had seen earlier, pressed it casually, and the door opened easily.
"It really is some kind of pattern."
The multi-faceted phone didn't have time to prompt, and could only say, "The ancients who built this place had a high level of technology, but it seems they didn't know how to set up challenges."
Bai Mu turned his head and said, "He's probably afraid that his descendants will forget the code. You can't be sure that all his descendants will be geniuses."
"……Too."
Multilateral mobile phone recognition has been achieved.
Kashiwagi continued forward and soon found wasabi. She stood at the bottom of the long steps, looking somewhat speechless.
"Why...are you so skilled at this?"
Wasabi set off three minutes early, but only arrived half a minute earlier than Kashiwagi.
Cypress smiled.
With such a small stature, how fast can one go?
Wasabi said, "I originally intended to send out Pokémon to hinder your progress, but after 'seeing' their crushing defeat, I knew it was futile. You won."
For the first time, she found hide-and-seek somewhat boring.
Then, Wasabi followed the long staircase and walked forward, while Cypress climbed the steps and followed her to the outside.
Snow began to fall from the sky.
The magnificent eagle stood on a rock pillar, with three feathers burning like ghostly flames between its eyebrows, and its wings were white on the outside and gray on the inside, and were exceptionally wide.
The Green Warrior Eagle, with its Psychic and Flying attributes, once carried Kashiwagi across the Green Lands and was a great helper in capturing various Shiny Pokémon.
"Cuckoo!"
It makes a clear, crisp call.
Wasabi said, "The Warrior Eagle cares about you and respects you a lot, so I don't think you're lying. You really are the messenger of the Great Lord Sinnoh."
She rejected Gangshi's decision during a meeting simply because she only believed what she saw.
Now that she has seen Bai Mu and witnessed the attitude of the Green Warrior Eagle, she has no more doubts.
But Wasabi was somewhat bewildered by the fact that the Sinnoh Grandmaster was not Dialga.
"If Dialga isn't the Sinnoh Grandmaster, then these eyes of mine weren't given to me by the Sinnoh Grandmaster?"
Wasabi had heard her parents say since she was a child that this was a blessing from the Great Lord of the Divine Origin, a symbol of protection for her.
Now that I know the truth, I can't help but feel a little shaken.
Kashiwagi said, "It's hard to say, because Dialga was created by Arceus. Since Arceus could create Dialga, which represents time, he might be able to give you eyes that can see into the future."
"..."
Wasabi remained silent for a long time until the Green Warrior Eagle landed and handed the Blue Sky Stone Tablet to Kashiwagi. Only then did she say, "Ten minutes. I can see ten minutes into the future!"
