1138. revisit the old place

Songye, the gym leader of Yuanzhu City, finished his work as a teacher today and went to the area near the Burnt Tower to check the ruins as a routine.

From a long time ago, one of the Yuanzhu City Gym Leader's responsibilities has been to ensure that the ruins of the Burnt Tower remain intact.

Yuanzhu City has developed rapidly in recent years. In fact, many people have a lot of opinions about the existence of a huge ruins. They also have a bad impression of the ghost-type elves that often come out to play mischief in the ruins.

Matsuba could not correct this view, so after taking office as the head of the museum, he took the initiative to teach the characteristics of ghost-type elves to the students who came to study as a teacher.

In fact, contrary to what many people think, the physical strength of ghost elves is very poor, and they cannot move and fight for a long time.

Trainers who can play well in the ghost type and super power type, which test their physical strength and judgment, are all boss-level.

The mischievous behavior of most ghost-type elves is actually to attract other people's attention. Their approach is probably like a child who is not paying attention to himself and wants to draw people's attention to himself.

As for the malicious part of the ghost-type elves... Songye just wants to say that when you go out into the wild, the probability of the wild elves you encounter hurting you is about the same as the probability of ghost-type elves doing evil.

Matsuba doesn't like this misunderstanding, which has led to an irreversible disaster in history.

The reason why the Scorched Tower is not cleaned up is the result of the arguments of the knowledgeable people in Yuanzhu City’s past.

They hope to use the ruins of the Scorched Tower to warn future generations of what excessive things humans did to Ho-oh and Lugia back then.

However, in recent years, fewer and fewer locals are familiar with the history of the Burnt Tower, and in their eyes, the Burnt Tower is just a ruin.

Perhaps in a few years, when those who are dedicated to protecting the ruins of the Burnt Tower leave this land, history will be forgotten or rewritten.

Walking on the ruins of the Burnt Tower, Songye relaxed himself and handed over the inspection work to his Gengar.

The Scorched Tower, a dead place in the past, is now a place where ghost elves live. As the big brother, Gengar from Songye can calm them down by just running around.

As long as Gengar returns to him, Songye will finish his day's work and go home to rest.

However, today, Songye was destined not to go home on time.

The rubble loosened, and a shadow suddenly enveloped the pine leaves.

Matsuba raised his head, and on the ruins, Suicune was leaning sideways, staring at him intently.

Songye was in a daze, thinking that he was hallucinating, and quickly rubbed his eyes.

Suicune still stood there.

After recovering from the shock, Songye trembled with excitement.

This is the first time in hundreds of years that the Phoenix King's guards have returned to the Burnt Tower ruins.

Although there were records of Suicune appearing near Enzhu City in the past few years, he was still far away.

According to word of mouth from the seniors, if the Phoenix King's guards return to the Burnt Tower, it means that the Phoenix King has forgiven them!

Suicune walked among the ruins, completely ignoring Matsuba standing beside him.

After a while, Suicune suddenly raised his head and looked at the newly built bell tower in the distance.

Matsuba watched Suicune nervously, hoping to see something from his performance, but he was disappointed because Suicune was just stunned for a moment, turned around and left, with no intention of approaching the Bell Tower.

"Please wait."

Sensing his master's eagerness, Gengar returned to Matsuba and chased after him. However, Suicune turned his head towards the ground and fired a freezing beam of light, catching Gengar halfway down the road.

Compared with the last time they met, Suicune's attitude seemed to be worse this time, which caught Matsuba off guard. He didn't quite understand why Suicune's attitude had changed so much.

"Human, go back."

The voice that sounded in his mind was gentle and kind, but it made Songye feel like he was struck by lightning.

Is this Suicune's telepathy?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Suicune shook his head gently and looked up at the sky.

It's a cloudy day in Yuanzhu City today, gray clouds cover the sky, and only a faint light shines through the gaps in the clouds.

After sensing something, Songye mustered up the courage and responded in a meditative way in his mind: "The ancestors already knew that they had made a big mistake. They have been working hard to make up for it after you left."

Hearing no response, Matsuba thought that his voice could not be conveyed, and anxiously wanted to approach Suicune.

"They make up for it because they are afraid."

Plain words but to the point.

After the people of Yuanzhu City burned down the Bell Tower, they witnessed the miracle of King Phoenix resurrecting the dead spirits, and their fear of King Phoenix reached its peak.

Moreover, there were rumors along the coast at that time that the sea area Lugia passed through was rough and a storm was gathering.

The two mythical beasts attack together, and this terrible nightmare lingers.

Fear reached its peak and turned into timidity. After dealing with those who tried to obtain the power of the Phoenix King, the remaining people began to remedy the situation.

They continued to pray and offer sacrifices, and later built a new bell tower.

Among them, some people sincerely hope that King Feng will visit Yuanzhu City again, but most of them are just afraid that King Feng will anger this land.

"Even so, please don't ignore the existence of those who sincerely hope that elves and humans can prosper together." Songye said.

“…”

"The Bell Tower will only bind you and me, just treat it as a landscape and fade it away."

Ho-oh did not answer Matsuba's words, but said something with unknown meaning.

As if to enlighten Matsuba, a child who knew only a little, Ho-oh added.

"Sacrifices, prayers, offerings... are all the needs of the times in the eyes of mankind."

"Only in this way can they feel that they are close to me. If they lose these 'umbilical cords', they will panic."

"Your ancestors never told you that what attracted me to Yuanzhu City was not the sacrificial dance, the harmony of prayers, or the fireworks for worship?"

Suicune walked out step by step. Matsuba wanted to chase him, but his feet couldn't move. He watched Suicune leap high in the forest, and disappeared among the green leaves.

Looking up into the sky, the dense clouds gradually dispersed, and a flash of rainbow light hurriedly disappeared at the far end of the sky, leaving only a seemingly glowing figure that flickered a few times in Songye's field of vision.

Songye held his head in frustration, looking at the ruins in front of him, his mind in confusion.

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Feng Wang meant.

King Feng has forgiven the people of Yuanzhu City for the mistakes they made back then, because she understands the ignorance of that era, and how small insecurities can turn into huge violence.

However, the Phoenix King comes into contact with humans and protects them, never for the purpose of being worshiped and enshrined on a high platform as a god.

That is the wishful thinking of human beings, and it is also the shackles that human beings put on themselves and King Phoenix.

King Feng looked at Yuanzhu City in the first place simply because there were people in Yuanzhu City who moved him with their sincerity and kindness.

She left simply because she could no longer see what moved her in the first place.
