Rope and Hoopa were also staring at the huge space in front of them.
"It's really a shame not to raise fish in such a big pool." Hoopa sighed as if he felt something.
Rope also shook his head in the same way. Slightly feeling so much pity. After all, if there really was some kind of creature around, maybe they would have gotten answers about this place straight away.
That was the benefit of knowing a foreign language. Some people archaeologists relied on digging up these so-called clues. But not Rope.Rope asks directly for what's alive.
Rope had even read some novels in the original world, in which the archaeologists could even ask non-living things direct questions...
Thinking about it this way Rope's pattern was still small.
"Keep going. I'm vaguely sensing something."
Rope's heart fluttered with a sudden inexplicable sense.
So Hoopa followed Rope's lead and continued on.
And at that moment, outside of Eiichi's village. A man with a ring frowned as he looked at the village in front of him, with some puzzlement and confusion in his eyes.
"Where are the... people in the village?"
But he didn't think much about it, wouldn't it be better if there was no one!
He directly drove the car into the village and familiarly drove towards the cave.
"Eiichi, is it really good for us to have the whole village out together like this?"
Eiichi's wife looked at all the people, young and old, in front of her and said with some concern.
"We've never been out in our lives, so it's nothing to come out together once. Plus...is there anything in our village worth coveting? Even if there was, Professor Rope already took it, right?"
Eiichi said with disinterest.
"I was like saying this before." His wife spoke as if she suddenly remembered something, "Is there some treasure in our cave that Professor Rope has taken away!"
Eiichi shook his head and said, "I don't know and I don't care. Is it hard for you to ask Professor Rope for it?"
"Can't I? It's a treasure left behind by our ancestors!"
Eiichi's wife said with a straight face, but her face was not so confident.
Eiichi glanced at his wife, then helplessly said, "Don't be too greedy, if Professor Rope really wants to clean us up, it's just a matter of moving his lips. Moreover, Professor Rope saved us from that situation. That in itself is already a great favor."
Eiichi's wife rolled her eyes and said, "You don't know how expensive it is. Together in the village we can scrounge everything from the ground. Every once in a while a seller comes by and sells nothing particularly valuable."
"Do you know how much this one bike costs out here!"
Eiichi didn't have the heart to say, "You have to look at bicycles! Can't you drive a car (nope)?"
"Anyway, regardless of whether there's any so-called treasure or not. We'd better stay away from Professor Rope from now on. Don't hang around in front of others. If they didn't take the treasure, you're just going to invite disaster."
Eiichi was looking seriously at the defeated bitch in front of him when he said this.
"If you want our children and the whole village to be able to live a normal life, then you should stay away from people who can run us over with their hands."
Eiichi's wife was so frightened by his stern rebuke that she didn't dare to make a sound. After a long time, she could only say softly, "Okay, okay, I know. I just casually asked this question, look at how excited you are."
"It's a matter of life and death...there's no room for carelessness."
Eiichi wouldn't joke about this situation.
He looked at the laid back and happy people, young and old, in front of him and finally let go.
Today, before leaving the village, he had been having a drastic sense of unease. It always felt like something was coming to his door.
But now, that uneasy feeling was finally gone.
Rope couldn't help but feel a surge of anger as they looked at the scene in front of them.
In front of them was another scattering of white bones. This village didn't even look like it had been defeated by age and sand.
"About how many bones have we encountered along the way?"
Rope thought grimly in his mind.
"No breakdown, around seven hundred...all of them are young and strong."
Hoopa had lived a long time and seen a lot, and could still recognize a bone.
"The children and women are here now."
Rope had also learned some classes to recognize human bones in the original world, originally just learning for fun because it seemed like nothing. It was also true that she hadn't actually used this kind of not-so-useful knowledge in the past twenty years or so.
As expected, you can never have too much knowledge. Wasn't this put to use?
"Rope the village...was slaughtered, wasn't it."
Hoopa said with some horror. He was truly appalled with the tragedy in front of him.
Rope nodded silently, though still not quite in sufficient numbers. But by and large, the vast majority of the bones of this village should be here. It's also fortunate that Whitley didn't let them go into the water. Even Rope now as here was swimming in a pool of dumped corpses felt diabolical.
"This shouldn't be a pool for dumping bodies. You saw the stairs and stuff. This should be a shelter, otherwise there couldn't be this many women and children."
Hoopa did manage to calmly analyze the situation here.
Rope thought carefully and also nodded, such an analysis made sense. But one thing was undeniable...this water had indeed soaked the bodies.
"Did you feel the water flow?"
Rope asked suddenly.
Hoopa shook his head without hesitation, he had sensed something wasn't quite right before. If this was living water, so clean that it could even be described as clear, he could accept it. But this place favored any trace of water flow, such a pool of stagnant water shouldn't be this clean.
"So odds are we're in the right place."
Rope spoke up, his face a little grave.
"So it looks like this opponent of ours is definitely not a good guy to deal with either. The ruthless guy who killed so many people."
Rope's face really didn't look good, he had met a lot of villains along the way as well. There were even quite a few that Pokémon had experimented on. But something like this simple massacre, whether it was on a Pokémon or a human he had never seen before.
He even wondered if this person could be an outsider. Because Pokémon's world shouldn't have a tradition of massacres, ah.
"Rope watch out!"
Just as Rope was lost in thought, Hoopa's shout suddenly came from his ears.
Rope subconsciously dodged sideways.
As expected, the next moment Rope side-stepped, a stream of water like an arrow came towards Rope, and after Rope side-stepped and dodged it, he looked towards where the stream of water was coming from.
It was a beautiful Milotic, but it didn't look like it had much spirit, and its body shape wasn't very healthy.
"Sure enough it's a Milotic...outrageous."
Rope was taking a closer look, this Milotic was even followed by three other Milotic. it was unbelievable...
"Wild Milotic packs...Hoopa have you heard of them?"
Hoopa shook his head once again, "This thing can still be in packs? It's normal for Feebas to be in packs...it's outrageous for Milotic to still be in packs..."
Even if Hoopa had lived for so long as a god, he had never seen a situation like the one before him.
It was important to realize that without perceived help, the birth of every Milotic in the wild had countless coincidental components to it. It really wasn't just a matter of if Feebas thought he could do it, then he could do it.
Beauty in the truest sense of the word, and their own inner self confidence are all factors that influence Feebas to evolve into Milotic.
But put it in Rope's place, seeing what's going on right now there's only one thing to say...
"Looking in the right place!"
The corners of Rope's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile, just like what he said before, if Rope could run into a living creature, then as long as the language was understandable, then it was possible to talk about it.
It is possible to talk, with the level of Rope's words. More or less, it was still possible to extract some information.
"Greetings, we mean no harm."
Rope's eyes were firm, and Hoopa's tone was sincere as he spoke to these Pokémon.
The Milotic looked at the two strong men in front of them, looking at them as if they didn't seem to have any malicious intent for a moment, they were a bit unsure.
"Woo~ (Who are you, where are you from, and what do you want here?)"
As expected, the words are basically the same as long as they are asking about someone's origin.
Rope and Hoopa looked at each other and also felt as if there was no need to hide anything, so they said matter-of-factly.
"We are scholars..."
Rope and the others simply said all of these things in a nutshell, while the Milotic's were not the least bit impressed.
"Woo~ (We don't trust you, show us proof. Or leave.)"
The Milotic that was in the front when he said that was actually panicking. They knew it in their own hearts. The opponent's energy level aside, but they hadn't fought the slightest battle in the past few decades, and the gap in combat experience was enough to make them a dish on the opponent's table.
It was simply unbeatable.
But they wouldn't back down now either. If they were to die, then it must be here.
Ahead, was the final bottom line.
Rope glanced at these Milotic, then silently shook his head. How do you give evidence for something like this? Take out the Origin? Wouldn't it be more suspicious to carry something like the Origin around with you?
Rope was now certain that the Origin of Water must be behind the door behind the Milotic.
Only the problem they had to face now was how to get into that door.
"Hoopa...there's no way."
Rope really felt like such a waste of a mouth, after all that talk, it was best to go back to the basics.
"I told you, just do it and be done with it, you have to get all fancy."
Hoopa has long been impatient, these little things in front of him still want to block his way? Wasn't this a lantern in the toilet?
"Don't hurt them."
Rope looked at Hoopa, still somewhat uneasy, and instructed. It always felt like this Hoopa guy didn't even treat the Pokémon as well as he treated the humans.
Could this be because the humans would bring him food and the Pokémon wouldn't?
Rope wasn't quite sure for a moment.
Hoopa has completed his change of form.
Liberated Hoopa looked at the Milotic in front of him with a grimace and a side of menace.
After the power was liberated, Hoopa felt that his sensory ability had also returned less. At least now he could sense Whitley's location and theirs.
First, he observed that nothing was wrong with the two Whitley and Diana. Then Hoopa looked at the Milotic guys.
You'd be lying if you said the Milotic's weren't panicking...the demonic-like guy in front of them was so powerful that they couldn't even perceive it.
Rope shook his head regretfully while being surprised when he saw that they were a bit flustered.
It seems that although these Milotic had become Milotic...they weren't really Milotic yet.
It sounds a bit wordy. But that's how it is.
A true Milotic needed not only beauty but also confidence.
Self-confidence so strong that you can change your form. Just like the baby dragon's desire that was so strong that it allowed itself to grow wings.
That's why every Milotic Rope has ever met, even the most gentle looking Mikaeli's. Essentially, it was a cocky one.
Determined, confident, arrogant. This is the real Milotic.
These Milotic who instantly lost most of their fighting spirit in the face of liberating Hoopa...they simply didn't look like those Milotic who had fought tenaciously against fate.
It was even worse than some of the Milotic that evolved with the beautiful scale newsletter.
Hoopa also felt a lack of interest, originally thinking that he had come to some hardcore. In the end, this is it?
He hasn't even made a move yet. Before even letting go of its full aura, it was almost ready to kneel.
[Boring].
Hoopa's face was as if these two big words were written on it.
Just as Hoopa was about to make a move to directly resolve these people. A water arrow suddenly attacked towards Hoopa's eyes.
Rope's eyes narrowed and he didn't open his mouth to warn. He knew that Hoopa still didn't have any problem dealing with this kind of small scene.
"That's not bad."
Hoopa even had the leisure to comment on it. The next thing he did was to casually block the water arrow.
Rope looked in the direction the water arrow had come from. There was a glittering male Milotic. The males and females of Milotic were mainly distinguished by the length of their eyebrows.
It was a relatively easy type to distinguish.
Unlike Gardevoir, there was no obvious gender difference.
"Humans, get out of here! Otherwise, even if we die, we will definitely teach you a profound lesson."
Milotic's voice was very firm, even with a hidden death wish.
Of course, this was translated by Hoopa.
Rope wasn't polite either, "If you had such courage back then, would there be less white bones here?"
Rope may not be good at saying nice things, but he's definitely a professional at heart-stopping.
If you don't believe me, just feel the almost stagnant atmosphere.
The next moment, it was a column of water rushing towards Rope.
Rope had no way of freely exercising his abilities underwater. But Hoopa was here, and of course he wouldn't let Rope fall into a crisis.
With a flash of Hoopa's body, he blocked in front of Rope, and with a flick of his hand, a green protective shield was placed in front of him.
Let's just say that guarding is really useful.
Just as Milotic was about to continue his attack. He suddenly felt the flow of water being cut through.
So he immediately dove down to avoid it.
The water plants that were originally floating were chopped off.Hoopa's Nimble Blade didn't hit Milotic, but it still took him by surprise. So powerful...
But such a faltering was only for a moment. In the next moment, purple energy gathered on his tail, and he immediately struck Hoopa with a dragon tail.
Hoopa laments the guy's courage. Then a hard punch slams Milotic out.
Milotic flew backwards through the water until he crashed into the surrounding walls.
Rope suddenly had some understanding of why there were always villains who liked to abuse their protagonists, admiring like perverts in the process the way the protagonists kept getting up and fighting again.
Of course, villains who failed often failed in just such situations.
But this feeling of watching others rise up and surpass themselves is just too good. Especially the feeling of someone else getting a slap back in the face after every time they rise up and try, it can be said to be so good that it's flipping out.
"Rope you're really not thinking like a good person right now you know that?"
Hoopa spat mercilessly at the back of Rope's mind.
"You're even less of a good person for doing it."
Just like back in the day, while there were a lot of people who hated the Queen, more people definitely still hated Yung Maa.
Though Rongma zapped all the bad guys back then.
But after Hoopa spoke like that, Rope also shook his head and said, "Alright, stop playing. Let's go."
With that, he proceeded towards the gate ahead.
In addition to the Milotic that was knocked out. The other Milotic were all watching Rope and Hoopa approach the gate, wanting to make a move, but none of them dared to step forward.
Hoopa shook his head once more.
"Disappointed?"
Rope spoke as he surveyed the gate.
"Very disappointed."
Hoopa said so.
Then without another word he just pushed the gate open.
What greeted him was a large store. The large hall had waterways running through it. But there were also roads for humans to pass through.
Hoopa takes a step ahead and lets Rope in while his feet are on the ground. And made a 'helmet off' gesture towards him.
Rope stepped into the great hall and then removed his diving helmet.
A breath of humid but unusually fresh air entered his nose.
Next, there was the large ice-blue block of ice.
There was a figure faintly visible inside.
Rope could feel that the Origin of Water was inside the ice cube, or rather, inside that person.
"He didn't get the Origin of Water."
Rope spoke coldly.
"He killed many people here. But he didn't get the Water Origin."
Rope said as he moved closer to the huge block of ice.
Hoopa followed him, looking around warily. Although he didn't feel any aura of danger. But in the end, there was no harm in being careful.
Rope walked closer to the ice block. Finally, he saw the figure.
It was a pretty girl.
Rope put his hand on the ice. Feeling the surge of energy.
"He thinks it's in his pocket."
"But here we are."
