Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 458 Exploring Ancient Ruins

Kamishiro leaned closer, carefully comparing Milton with the drawing, "This must be the Iron Serpent, right?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "That's right. Its modern name is Milton, but the ancient people of the Parthian region called the Milton they encountered by chance the Iron Serpent."

The Gods admired Li Shuwen even more, explored the mysteries of history, and captured the legendary Pokémon hidden behind these histories.

When it comes to the Legendary Regiments, Shinji sees them more as a reward for his exploration of history than as legendary Pokémon.

Many people catch legendary Pokémon, but not many people catch legendary Pokémon and also love history.

For the Gods, Li Shuwen was practically a confidant!

Without asking Li Shuwen how he subdued Millerton, Shen Dai asked, "How do you plan to compete in the battle three days from now?"

Li Shuwen thought for a moment, "I'm fine with anything, but I'd like to have a slightly larger number of Pokémon to battle."

"My Pokémon all hope to have the chance to spar with a strong opponent like Mr. Kamishiro."

Kamishiro nodded. "Okay, then the battles will be four against four, but both sides will need to prepare six Pokémon."

"Introduce the six Pokémon you sent to the opponent, then recall them and choose four to battle."

Li Shuwen's expression changed. "No problem."

The battle format arranged by the Gods is a true test of the Pokémon's strength and the Trainer's tactical planning.

Kamishiro asked, "Would you like to stay and help us explore this ancient ruin?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "Of course, but I need to go back and make some arrangements. I'll come back tonight."

Kamishiro waved his hand, "No rush, I'll call now to arrange for a Pokémon to come and open the door. They should be able to arrive tomorrow."

"Just come over first thing tomorrow morning. If there are any more traps later on, we might need your help to analyze them."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I'd be happy to."

Besides the space behind the mechanisms, this ancient site also contains many valuable ancient props and items.

Just as Kamishiro wanted to say something to Li Shuwen, a researcher came over and asked him to study an annex room that they had just opened.

Li Shuwen nodded, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Kamishiro's work any longer, I'll come again tomorrow."

As soon as Li Shuwen returned to the lakeside, Li Meining immediately surrounded him, "Brother, how did you do?"

Li Shuwen dismounted from Milton's back. "Mr. Kamishiro has agreed to my challenge, so I'll set the battle location here."

"So we need everyone's help to level out a standard battleground."

Everyone was excited to learn that it was a six-choose-four battle mode, which meant they would be able to witness a spectacular battle.

A standard battle arena requires compacted soil, but the soft soil by the lake couldn't withstand the Pokémon battle between Li Shuwen and Shindai.

Three days later, Regirock appeared and immediately sank into the ground.

Li Meining was very enthusiastic, saying, "No problem, leave it to me."

Her rumbler rocks are absolutely capable of handling the work of compacting soil.

There wasn't enough open space by the lake, so Li Shuwen said to the few large trees in the chosen area, "Gallade, could you please trim the branches of these trees?"

"I think we can keep the big tree; it would add a unique feature to the site."

Li Shuwen believed that the gods wouldn't mind such a venue.

As a result, once the venue was ready, the first people to use it were Raiji and Yura.

Although Lei Si lost to Li Shuwen, it is undeniable that Lei Si is indeed an excellent trainer.

Yura can gain a lot of nourishment from fighting Raiji.

Fiona also has her sights set on Li Meining. As Li Shuwen's sister, Li Meining has performed quite well in her matches against Qiyana.

Fiona wanted to try Li Meining out, to see how much she had improved while learning the Mind's Eye Sword Technique from Li Shuwen.

Everyone else was engaged in heated battles on the newly built arena, helping Li Shuwen test whether the new arena was any good.

Li Shuwen, meanwhile, took the nine Pokémon he had brought to meet the Gods today to a quiet corner.

"I will select six of you to participate in the battle three days from now, but only four of you will actually play. Don't be upset if you don't get a chance to play."

"There is another strong opponent who will engage in a three-on-three battle with me. I will give you priority in going up against him."

Li Shuwen was unsure whether Sabrina or Kamishiro was stronger.

But it should be the Age of Gods.

Sabrina is still very young, and Li Shuwen did not sense any grandmaster-like aura from her.

Li Shuwen's Pokémon were very excited when they learned that Shiro might be a Champion-level Pokémon.

Everyone hopes to make the six-man roster for the game.

Even if you don't get a chance to play, it's still an honor.

Everyone's enthusiasm during training was even higher than usual.

Even Nyumerulong is working hard, hoping to perform well and help Li Shuwen defeat one more opponent and win the match.

The next day, Li Shuwen arrived at the ancient ruins on time.

You can see a breeder taking care of the ivory pigs, Mawile, and Golem that have been brought in.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Li Shuwen, a researcher came over and said that everything was ready and they could go down to unlock the mechanism.

Under Li Shuwen's guidance, the three Pokémon injected their Ancient Power into the holes in a specific position and order.

Sure enough, the walls began to rumble and slowly opened to both sides.

The empty stone chamber inside was revealed.

Kamishiro was the first to enter the stone chamber, carefully observing every step he took before letting the others in.

At the same time, everyone was told to watch their step and not to touch anything.

Even Li Shuwen knows that you shouldn't touch things in ancient ruins.

A moment of curiosity could not only kill you, but also the entire team.

The center of the three walls is inlaid with yellow, gray, and blue gemstones.

One of the researchers spoke up: "Mr. Kamishiro, could the way to break the seal be to remove the gems from the wall?"

Kamishiro frowned. "No rush, let me take another look at the mechanisms here."

Kamishiro walked to the yellow gem wall corresponding to Regirock and carefully observed the patterns and grooves on the wall, as well as the ancient script.

"Those who come after, beware of your greed, or your body and mind will be buried along with it."

Kamishiro shook his head. "No, this isn't the site where Registeel was sealed. Let's get out of here; there's something wrong with the things in this room."

If the gem is removed, one could be buried in this stone chamber.

If Regischiru were truly sealed here, the ancients wouldn't have spoken in this tone.

Li Shuwen was also translating the other side, and he made a slightly different discovery when he looked at the ancient writing on the gray gemstone wall of Regischiru.

"Mr. Kamishiro, this seems to reveal the true location of Registeel's seal."

Kamishiro immediately came over to observe, and soon a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Yes, it's true."
