Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"I'm curious, but if you don't know more, that's okay."

"Sorry, no information on this matter has been left in official documents."

"I'm not asking you to apologize. More importantly, I want to enter the Tower of Time and Space. Can you give me some guidance?"

"Please help me choose!"

"It gives it a different, scary feel when viewed from below."

Bai Nai looked up at the towering Space-Time Tower and whispered.

The Space-Time Tower, which looks different from the balloon or the outside of the city, has a very solemn atmosphere.And up close, you can see the details of the tower's decoration, and it's immediately apparent how amazing Gordy's craftsmanship is.

"If you look different, it changes the atmosphere."

"Because things always have various aspects. If you look at things from different angles, you will see different things. Things also exist, so as a scholar, you should not get stuck in one thing."

"I understand…?"

"Huhu, I wonder if it's difficult?

"Student Sirona, do you usually teach people?"

Hearing Alice's words, Sirona opened her eyes wide.

Sirona's main occupation is that of a scholar.It is not a "teacher" or "guru" who teaches people, but a profession designed to connect learning.So, I never dreamed that someone would tell me something like this.

"?"

"It's like this. I feel that your tone just now seems to be instructing others. Could it be that someone is instructing you like a student in the laboratory?"

Sirona thought this was quite a keen insight.

In fact, Sirona has been teaching humans as a trainer and scholar for over two years.Maybe that's why I have a teacher vibe.

"You have noticed. Yes. You have a disciple."

"Yeah! This is the first time I've heard of it. Ah, but as a trainer or as a scholar?"

"Both."

Sirona put her right hand to her ear and said.There was a red ring shining on that hand, but Alice didn't notice it.

"Ah? Isn't it Alice?"

Then a new voice sounded.

When I turned to the direction of the sound, a man wearing glasses stood there with a gentle smile on his face.

"Tonio!"

"Hi, Alice. What a coincidence."

"Has Tonio started investigating again?"

".and this"

The young man named Tonio turned his gaze to Sirona.

"Let me introduce, this is Sinnoh regional champion Sirona."

"Sirona. Nice to meet you."

"Champion! I thought I'd seen it before."

The young man shouted excitedly.Poirot is famous for being located in the Sinnoh region.This is not surprising, as Sirona's presence is known even to those not involved in the battle.

"Miss Sirona, this is Tonio. He is my childhood friend and knows the Tower of Time and Space very well."

"I'm Tonio. Nice to meet you, Champion."

"Nice to meet you, Tonio."

We shake hands and say hello.

"Are you two going to climb the Tower of Time?"

".with the guidance of Miss Alice."

"I see. Alice is the guide."

"Yeah, ah, yeah, if you don't mind, how about Tonio? You know the Tower better, don't you?"

From what I can tell, Tonio seems to have been conducting some kind of research, and he has a notepad and other materials in his bag.He may also be some kind of scholar.

And for some reason, I felt that Alice's tone had become a little higher.The way the tone rose was familiar, or rather, familiar to me.

"I don't mind, but Miss Bai Nai"

For Tonio, there was a sense that there was nothing wrong with hanging out with such a beautiful celebrity.

However, Sirona didn't care about these.

"I don't mind. If you don't mind, can you explain the Tower of Time and Space?"

"Is this okay?"

"Better to ask someone who knows, isn't it, Alice?"

"Well, that's right!"

"I'll come with you, then. Shall we go right away?"

Tonio started walking towards the Tower of Time.

Alice and Sirona followed, but Alice's steps seemed lighter than before.

possibly alice

Sirona had a guess in her mind, but she didn't ask this question to someone she hadn't seen for a long time.

Chapter 54 The Pendulum in the Tower

The three follow Tonio up the spiral staircase.

"What we are climbing now is the Tower of Space, which is the tower that symbolizes the space of Palkia. Right now because we are still on the stairs, we can't see anything that symbolizes space, but if we go up a little bit, we will Arriving at the lobby. Because there is something that symbolizes this space."

"This tower, both towers are well connected."

"Yes, there is a bridge connecting the two towers, and you can go back and forth between the halls."

While talking, the three of them came to the hall of the space tower.

In the hall, there is a huge sphere rotating around a certain orbit.

"This is an object that symbolizes space. According to records, it was created in the image of Palkya's power."

"Palkia is the god of space. This sphere is an image of the 'cosmic' and 'terrestrial' space we live in."

"Sure enough, I don't think you need an explanation from me."

"It's amazing, Miss Sirona. You can tell what she means at a glance."

"Because I've seen a lot of stuff, even outside of my expertise, but I have some knowledge of it, so I just made a guess by comparing it with the information I got from Mr. Tonio."

It's not that difficult if you know ahead of time what it symbolizes.Sirona specializes in mythology, so she knows more about Pokémon that are considered gods, such as Palkia and Dialga, than Tonio does.Given prior information, it would not be that difficult for Sirona to predict what the object symbolizes.

"According to the myth, Arceus was born in the void, gave birth to Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, and created the world."

"Oh, you also know Giratina. In the myths that everyone knows, Giratina is not mentioned much."

"Giratina? Tonio, is there such a Pokémon?"

"Yes. Dialga controls time, Palkia controls space, and the Pokémon Giratina supports us from the other side of the world."

"Why is there no Giratina in the myths that we ordinary people know?"

"According to legend, Giratina was a thug who was exiled to the other side of the world."

Sirona remembered that a few months ago, she went to the Torn World where Giratina was.Giratina lives in a world where time flows abnormally and space is unstable.Perhaps because it was an emergency, there was no sign of the commotion as folklore suggests.I don't know how the battle with the light is going.At that time, Sirona herself was busy fighting Akagi and had no time to worry about this.

But when Bai Nai and others left, they heard a cry.I feel an air of gratitude for that.There is no doubt that he is a violent man, but to Sirona he seems to have a strong sense of responsibility.

"It turns out that there is such a Pokémon."

"It may not be as famous as Dialga and Palkiya, but it definitely supports the existence of this world."

“The world we live in is also because of their existence.”

"Yeah, let's go to the Tower of Time next door."

On the bridge from the Tower of Space to the Tower of Time, there is some kind of large-scale mechanical equipment, and Bai Nai stops there.

"This machine"

"Ah, this is it. Miss Sirona, do you know that this space-time tower is a musical instrument?"

"Yes. I have a letter from Alice."

"Is that so? This time-space tower is the largest musical instrument in the world, and this machine is a machine that uses the time-space tower as music."

Tonio approached the machine and pointed to its center, where gears and the like could be installed.

"Insert a music board in this place and the tower can play music."

"It's amazing to be able to control such a large instrument with a keyboard that a human hand can hold. Not only was an architect named Gordy able to use this technology over 100 years ago, but how much thought he put into it. See To come to this tower is perfect in itself."

"Because of Tonio."

"Haha, I'd be very happy if you praised me so much."

Sirona tilted her head, unable to understand the meaning of Tonio's words.

Alice saw this and said to Sirona.

"Tonio is a descendant of Gordy."

"?is that so?"

"All right"

Tonio said with a wry smile.

Sirona couldn't hide her surprise at this fact.After all, I had only just heard how much greatness Gordy had amassed, and I recognized him as a man who made a huge contribution to the development of this city.However, I did not expect that the young man in front of me was actually a descendant of that person.
