Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 444 Shenhe Town

Looking at Xiaoyao who dodged his hand, Shota couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"Is what people call love made up of memories?"

However, Shota quickly rejected this idea.

Generally speaking, this is not the case, because myself and Gardevoir are the best proof of this.

"But, Gardevoir can feel me after losing my memories, can I feel her after losing my memories?"

Just as Shota was thinking this, Xiaoyao's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"By the way, Shota-nii, why are you here? Did you come here to watch my game?"

Hearing Xiaoyao's question, Shota nodded without comment and then stood up.

"Xiaoyao, it's getting late. I have things to do, so I'm leaving now."

Watching Shota opening the door and leaving, and listening to the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, Xiaoyao always felt that something was missing in her heart. She rushed out, knocking over a chair in the lounge on the way. When she came to the corridor, she shouted at Shota's back:

"Brother Shouta, I love you!"

But the figure did not look back, nor did it stop. It just kept walking forward and then disappeared in the light and shadow.

Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment, and just watched the figure gradually moving away from her.

"Why? Why would I say something like that? Am I crying because I've been alone for too long? But... why can't I wipe away these tears..."

At the entrance of the Grand Contest, Gardevoir and his three companions sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, each holding an ice cream in their hands, licking it from time to time, quietly waiting for someone to arrive.

Looking at Shota walking out of the grand competition venue, Gardevoir danced with joy and waved to him.

When I walked up to the group of three people, I saw that each of them was holding two ice creams in their hands. They were eating the one in one hand while the one in the other hand had already started to melt.

The three of them took out their other ice creams and handed them to Shota.

But Shota didn't take anyone's offer. He took out an ice cream from behind and started eating it by himself.

The three women all gave him a cute eye roll.

Afterwards, the group of four left the vicinity of the gorgeous competition venue and walked aimlessly on the street.

Shota walked in front of the three women. He had finished the ice cream in his hand and looked down as if he was thinking about something.

"Oh, it seems that what I am doing is not in my own interest. Is it because I haven't done anything bad for a long time? Or am I just immersed in the shouts of the people?

No, maybe we have climbed too high now.

However, I still have to do some bad things to adjust my current state. "

Thinking of this, Shota quickened his pace and used instant teleportation to bring the three women back to the original hotel.

As soon as I got back to the hotel, the TV in the lobby broadcast a piece of news, the general content was as follows;

"The legendary gem, the 'Vajra Pearl', is being escorted from Baidai City to the Shenhe Town History Research Institute. The Junsha Office and the alliance's top brass have deployed a large number of personnel to ensure that this escort mission is foolproof."

Seeing this news, Shota smiled slightly.

"I don't know how deep the water in Sinnoh is, but if I stir up the water, there will be benefits."

Thinking of this, Shota packed his luggage with the three girls early and left the hotel.

A few days later, based on the spiritual mark on Xiaoguang, Shota and his three companions came to Kamiya Town.

It is a small town in the Sinnoh region. The history and ancient lifestyle of the Sinnoh region are well preserved here, and the history of the shrine in the center of the town can be traced back to ancient times.

Shinwa Town is the smallest town in the Sinnoh region and is the hometown of Takeran and Dorasena.

After having Gardevoir secretly erase the spiritual mark on Hikari, Shota and his three companions checked into a local inn as travelers.

Women seem to be very familiar creatures, at least in Shota's eyes, the three women in front of him are such women.

Gardevoir, Diane, and Koharu have been together for a short time, but they can already play together, and they have secrets that they cannot tell Shota.

Of course, Shota didn't care about this. After saying hello to the three people, he left the hotel and planned to see the ancient ruins here.

According to Shota's memories of his previous life, in "Diamond and Pearl" and "Diamond Brilliant Pearl", the residents here called Kamikaze Town the oldest town in the Sinnoh region, and it existed when the land of Sinnoh was born.

However, in "Legend of Arceus", in the ancient times of the Sinnoh region, when it was still called the Chrysanthemum Region, there was no place called Kamiya Town.

However, an ancient poem5 discovered in the Xicui area mentioned the existence of the town and nation of Shenhe in the more distant past.

This means that the claim that Shenhe Town is the oldest town may come from the history of Shenhe, where the town once disappeared and was rebuilt as Shenhe Town after the events of the Legend of Arceus.

There are places named "Shenhe" such as the ruins of Shenhe Temple and Shenhe Mountain Road in Xicui area. The original site of Shenhe Town may be located near these places, and Shenhe Town may be rebuilt at the location of the ancient hermitage.

If that's the case, with the help of Celebi's power, can I go back to the past? In other words, enter the Xicui area.

As he thought this, Shota had already picked up the Poké Ball containing Celebi.

"It may succeed, but it may cause a butterfly effect, thus changing what we have now. It will be better in a good direction, but if it develops in a bad direction, it will be difficult to predict."

To be honest, even now, Shota has come into contact with many secrets of this world, but there are still many things worth discovering, and what he has discovered now is just the tip of the iceberg.

As he was thinking, Shota took back the Poké Ball containing Celebi and walked towards the Kamiya Town History Research Institute.

The research institute was built near the ruins where the White Jade Orb was discovered. Inside the institute there are stone tablets and small murals depicting the gods of the lake. Portraits of Dialga and Palkia can also be seen here.

Standing in front of the portraits of Dialga and Palkia, Shota vaguely felt a sense of oppression.

Shota walked around here and found nothing worth noting, so he decided to leave.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a low and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hello, you look like a trainer, right? Are you interested in this legendary Pokémon?"
