Chapter 415 The Brief Account of the Purified Calamity

Chapter 415 The Brief Account of the Purified Calamity

?

After reading the text that appeared before her, Qingyu slowly typed out a question mark.

Is that correct?

Why would such a serious historical record appear in the Pokémon universe?

However, it is impossible to verify events from a thousand years ago in the present. Qingyu, who knew about this history, only sighed for a moment before turning her attention back to the ancient wooden slips in her hands.

[The Simple Calamity (Purified)]

[After the desires accumulated over thousands of years by humankind disappeared, the restored treasures of the East preserved the integrity and character of the ancients.]

[When this item is equipped, the "Calamity's Blessing" trait effect is automatically triggered, reducing the attack power of surrounding creatures.]

[Note: After throwing the wooden slip, the Ancient Slip Snail will briefly regain its power and become your helpful companion. (Only when used by Qingyu)]

Wow, amazing! There are such illegal props?

Qingyu was at a loss for words, and her expression became complicated.

However, considering that my broken system had previously created outrageous items that interfered with the weather in reality, it seemed that the mere Treasure of Disaster wasn't so illegal after all.

Since we haven't left the Shrine of Rotten Wood yet, let's test the effects of the Calamity Spell here.

Qingyu thought for a moment, then gently tossed the Calamity Scroll in her hand.

The wooden slip then hit the ground with a crisp sound and quickly lit up with a yellowish-green light.

In the blink of an eye, the ancient snail reappeared in front of Qingyu.

"Bu-bu-ee?!"

Sylveon, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because her opponent had disappeared, felt that terrifying pressure again and immediately turned her head in horror to look at Gu Jianwo.

This guy, why is he so persistent?! (A°：))

And it's so close to the trainer!

Was that disappearance just now a conspiracy, meant to lull everyone into a false sense of security so they could attack Qingyu directly?

Upon considering this possibility, Sylveon, who had initially been somewhat fearful, suddenly regained her composure.

Since that's the case, then I can't let you stay!

Those who try to harm trainers cannot be forgiven!

The next second, the pink full moon, which had long since disappeared, reappeared above, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually turned pink.

However, just as Sylveon was about to unleash its Blood Moon attack, Qingyu suddenly reached out and blocked its path.

"Don't worry, Sylveon."

"It no longer attacks us."

Qingyu's voice came through.

Sylveon looked up with some skepticism, but after meeting Qingyu's earnest gaze, it chose to trust the trainer's judgment.

Just as Qingyu said, until the blood moon dissipated, the suddenly appearing Gu Jian Snail did not make any other movements, only silently maintaining the posture of looking up at the sky, seemingly very interested in the moon summoned by Sylveon.

"Hmm?"

Even Ai Guanshi, who was very sensitive to emotions, frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at the dazed Gu Jianwo with surprise.

How did the trainers manage to do that?

Just moments ago, its body was filled with an immense amount of hatred, but unexpectedly, after disappearing for a short while, it suddenly became incredibly fragrant.

Hmm, it seems there aren't any other more fitting adjectives.

If the boundless malice contained within the ancient snail before was leftovers that would give it diarrhea, then what it exudes now is a rather high-class and exquisite dish.

Just the smell alone makes me want to eat it!

But the ancient snail's body seems to be made of fallen leaves from the ground; eating it would definitely cause an upset stomach.

Ai Guan's younger sister looked conflicted.

Seeing that Gu Jianwo completely ignored Sylveon's attack, Qingyu felt more at ease.

Just as the system described, the purified Gu Jianwo no longer harbored any ill intentions and even took the initiative to protect itself.

So, if I collect all four of the Treasures of Calamity, wouldn't I have a few more top-notch bodyguards?

Qingyu couldn't help but think.

Just then, perhaps sensing that there was no danger nearby, the ancient wooden slip, which had no reason to appear, quickly disappeared, leaving only a wooden slip floating in the air.

"Aidkeeper, you take it for now."

"Hmm?"

Qingyu spoke softly, causing Ai Guanshi to show an expression of being flattered and surprised, and he reached out and grasped the wooden slip without hesitation.

At the same time, the two horns on either side of its head, which drooped like croissants, gradually curled upwards along with its excitement.

Seeing Ai Guan Shi's quick expression of joy, Qing Yu couldn't help but smile.

While keeping it by my side would be fine, I feel that entrusting it to Ai-kan-sama for safekeeping would also be better, as it should allow the item to perform its function more effectively.

After all, this is Padonia, not Kanto where trainers have to fight in battles.

Qingyu turned around and looked at the seal that was shimmering with light in front of her.

Now that the ancient snail sealed in the Shrine of Rotten Wood has been dealt with, it's time to return to the dojo.

However, let me report to Chairman Yeci first before proceeding.

"I didn't expect you to actually solve the problem of the Treasure of Calamity?"

After leaving the Shrine of Rotten Wood, Qingyu quickly reported his "feat" to Yeci, and unsurprisingly received an incredulous tone from Yeci.

Qingyu expressed her complete understanding of this.

After all, this is a problem that Padiya has been unable to solve for thousands of years. All the champions in history have ignored it, and it's somewhat impulsive that Ci would entrust the Treasure of Disaster to him as a matter of course.

However, it's certainly a good thing that the problem can be solved.

"I have a feeling that once you become a superstar, any troublesome matter can be easily resolved by just handing it over to you."

Soon, Ye Ci's cheerful tone, tinged with a touch of emotion, came from the other end of the phone.

Are all people with the surname Qing very reliable?

"Thank you for your hard work this time. If it's convenient, I'll send Xinli and her staff to Xiaochi Town tomorrow to record the data of the ancient scissor."

"Just like we agreed before, now that you've solved the problem, I can rest assured that the Ancient Simplified Snail is in your hands."

"Also, if it's convenient, please feel free to use the other three Calamity Treasures as well~"

Clearly, the unexpected surprise from Qingyu made Yeci very happy.

As expected, Qingyu is our lucky star in Padia. If he were here, it would only be a matter of time before the alliance got back on track and even the Zero Zone and the crystallization phenomenon were fully developed.

Just then, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Ye Ci's mind—

Would it be beneficial for the region's development if Aoba succeeded him as the top champion of the Padiya region?

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before Ye Ci immediately put it out of his mind.

It's already impressive that he could go from being the gym leader to a top player within a year. If we were to demand even more from him, the pressure would increase many times over.

Becoming a champion is not only an honor, but also a responsibility for the future of the entire region, which is a heavy burden for a young person.

Therefore, before the mess in Padia is completely resolved, let our seniors take over first, which will also give him more time to find his own path as a trainer.

Keep it up, Qingyu!

With that thought in mind, Ye Ci exchanged a few more pleasantries and then quickly hung up the phone.

Night fell quickly.

Qingyu, who had already returned to Xiaochi Town, made a video call with Zhulan.

Feeling curious about the contents of the Calamity Scroll, Qingyu quickly told Zhulan everything that had happened that day.

"So there's such a legend about Parthia!"

In the holographic image projected by Rotom's phone, Zhu Lan, dressed in pink loungewear, raised an eyebrow and looked at Qing Yu with a curious gaze.

"Four mysterious treasures from a thousand years ago! I feel they would be very helpful for studying ancient history that has long been lost!"

"As for the text on the wooden slips, and the four calamity treasures from the distant East—I think the senior Mastedt from the Isle of Armor dojo would know more about them. As for other regions that have not yet joined the Pokémon League, the ways to contact them are actually very few."

"I heard that when he was young, Master Ma Shide traveled to the East and, with those two very powerful martial arts bear masters, won the Galar Championship for many consecutive years."

As a rigorous mythologist, Zhu Lan immediately offered professional advice.

"I'll ask about it if I have the chance in the future."

Qingyu nodded.

He was quite familiar with Master Ma, but the problem was that he didn't seem to have this senior's contact information.

We can't possibly make another trip to the Isle of Armor just for this problem, can we?

So, I'll wait until I've collected all four of the Treasures of Calamity before satisfying my curiosity.

"By the way, have things been going well with Sinnoh lately?"

After chatting with Zhu Lan for a while, Qing Yu suddenly remembered the main reason why Zhu Lan had "disappeared" during this period, so he asked her a question.

The research on the Spear Pillar ruins is undoubtedly a major event in the Sinnoh region in recent years. As a result, not only Professor Ichigo's team, which has the relevant expertise, but also the Yamanashi Research Institute and many other Gym Leaders and Elite Four members have participated in it.

As a result, Bamboo Orchid naturally had a lot more work to do.

Of course, she might be more interested in these things than her main job as a champion? (laughs)

"Hmm—the progress is a little slow, but Grandma is right. This time we are going to come into contact with a legendary god, so we can't be too careful."

When talking about her professional field, Zhu Lan quickly revealed a helpless yet confident smile.

In fact, according to her and her grandmother's thinking, the safest course of action was not to delve deeper into the hidden secrets of the Pillar of Spear ruins.

However, the other researchers also had to consider that the existence of the Pillar of One Shot had already been exposed. Rather than stopping the research at this time and giving other evil organizations an opportunity, it would be better for them to make a concerted effort to re-establish contact with the gods, which could prevent the crisis from occurring.

After all, until 150 years ago, the Sinnoh region, the predecessor of Sinnoh, had contact with the gods. It is believed that the Time-Space Gods are not like the Hoenn Gods on the other side, and can definitely communicate with them.

Ultimately, they decided to continue their research.

If their goal is simply to unlock the hidden portion of the Spear Pillar ruins, they already possess most of the information.

But precisely because of this, the work has only just begun.

Based on the content of the murals, the Pillar of Spear ruins should be the place where the ancient Sinnoh people and the two gods of time and space communicated directly.

If we cannot ensure absolute safety—

Even the slightest mishap could plunge the Sinnoh region into an unprecedented crisis.

After all, besides the two gods of time and space who are out in the open, there is a legend in the Sinnoh region that "the creator god Arceus sleeps in Mt. Coronet".

Besides the key to the gun and the orbs corresponding to the three gods, the Lake Gods, who may occasionally take the initiative to contact humans and foretell disasters, are also an important bridge for communicating with the gods.

Zhu Lan vaguely felt this way and shared her thoughts with Qing Yu.

"In that case, why not just go directly to Lake of Ambition, Lake of Unity, and Lake of Wisdom?"

Qingyu quickly gave an answer.

If I remember correctly, like most legendary Pokémon, these three Lake Gods usually slumber beneath the waters of three different lakes in Sinnoh.

Even in the anime, they were captured by Team Galactic and their power was used to create the red chains that connect time and space.

It is indeed closely related to the Pillar of Spears.

So, if we protect them before Team Galactic takes action, we can prevent the crisis from happening, right?

"It's not that simple. Not everyone can come into contact with so many legendary beings like you, Qingyu."

'

Zhu Lan suddenly felt like she was in Versailles, so she puffed out her cheeks and reached out to poke the virtual image of Qing Yu in front of her.

Halfway through her sentence, Zhu Lan suddenly raised an eyebrow.

A bold idea popped into my head: Hey, Qingyu can come into contact with legendary Pokémon wherever he goes, so why not just bring him over to help!

Even if you don't trigger a "serendipitous encounter", it doesn't matter. With Qingyu's wisdom, she might discover some details that everyone subconsciously overlooks.

Just as Qingyu was about to refute that he was not a divine beast man, Zhulan spoke first and looked at him with a fiery gaze.

"Blue Feather!"

"Why don't we get help from Sinnoh?"

"Even if you become the Elite Four member in Padia, I'll hand over the Champion title to you immediately when we return to Sinnoh!"

'

Qingyu scratched his head, somewhat bewildered by Zhulan's sudden "abdication" statement.

"So, the Sinnoh champion is a hot potato that can be passed on to someone else with just a word from the current champion, without needing to pass any tests? —"

Even though she knew Zhu Lan was joking, Qing Yu immediately refused.

As we all know, although many people seem to have a lot of free time after winning the championship, they are the first to step up when it comes to a tough battle.

So, forget it.

"If it's just helping out in Sinnoh for a few days, then there's no problem."

The Champion Road won't open until July. For the next month or so, besides being the Gym Leader, he seems to only need to spend some time dealing with the remaining three Calamity Treasures, and this matter isn't that urgent.

As for other more important matters, such as exploring Zone Zero, those will come after the Road to Victory.

So, taking a few days to go back to Sinnoh to help out doesn't seem like a bad idea.

"It's a deal then, no backing out!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Lan's cheerful voice came through.

She knew that if she said that, Qingyu would eventually agree.

Plans are in place!
