Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

Sirona held out the bottle, and when Cam took it, he drank the contents violently.

"Xiao Hei did a good job too."

Kaim smiled slightly when he saw Kuroko being touched and tickled by Sirona.

"Kym just passed."

"?Are you serious?"

"I should have given you better instructions."

"E.g?"

"In the final counterattack, instead of aiming at the counterattack, it is better to use a follow-up attack.

"I see. It does."

"But you do grow. You can be proud of that."

"Domo"

He's a lot better than he was before, but even so, there's still room for improvement from a championship perspective.

"Let's go, there are still many places I want to go."

Cam and Blakey chased Sirona, and Sirona was in good spirits and led the way.

ー ー

After strolling around the town for a while, the two of them stepped into the museum after eating.

"The Altoma Museum, is it?"

Alto Mare is a city rich in history.Therefore, many exhibits in the museum have high historical value.

The inside is majestic, even among the many old buildings in Alto Mare, it looks very old.

"Astonishing"

"Yeah, I was here for the first time too, so it was interesting. It's a great place to see how people live in this town from its origins to now."

Alto Mare is also known as the "City of Water".As a result, many of the machines on display were designed to control water.

History also has records of record-breaking disasters.Details such as how much damage was done and why.

"Shuicheng sounds good, but it may be quite difficult to survive."

"Since this city faces the sea, it is also a city that was born and died by water."

"The oceanic climate alone could easily sink it."

"Yes, it must have been a difficult day with a big storm.

“The very existence of this city is a testament to our efforts.”

"I understand"

Go to the museum.

Some of the things on display are Pokémon that have been turned into fossils.

"Huh, Kabutos?"

"Fossil Pokémon, isn't it? There was such a Pokémon a long time ago."

"Fossil Pokémon are very different in different regions. There is one in the Hoenen region, but there is no Pokémon shown here."

"Because each region has a different ecosystem. I'm pretty sure Lilila is among the fossil Pokémon in the Hoenen region."

"Yeah. The Sinnoh region is called Zugaidos."

"Now, we've established the technology to revive Fossil Pokémon. Sometimes, I see trainers using Fossil Pokémon."

"It's very creative, but I don't know if it's good or not."

Technology can be good or bad depending on how it is used.No matter what technology it is, it can turn into "the worst technology" depending on who uses it.

Keim is also an inexperienced student of history.I know of several cases in the past where the misuse of innovative technology led to disaster.

"I don't know if it's a good thing either. But we shouldn't be thinking about what it's like, or what the dangers are."

"I know"

"This is a big machine."

In the largest hall of the museum, a very ancient but huge and magnificent machine is displayed.

"The place feels more like a cathedral than a museum."

"It seems like this. It was originally used as a cathedral, but now it seems that this building is used as a museum."

"Uh"

Please read the description of the larger machines on display.

Apparently, this device was used to drive away "evil" from the outside world.

"Is this some kind of defense mechanism?"

"It looks like a machine that protects the city from 'evil from outside'. How to protect it is really not written."

""

"Cam?"

"It's nothing."

Sirona looked at Kaim worriedly. Kaim's face instantly turned bitter, but Kaim immediately returned to his normal expression and walked away.

""

I seemed to understand the reason for Cam's sad face, but Sirona didn't say it.

*

"Yes?"

After leaving the museum and walking around the city again, I suddenly felt someone staring at me from behind and looked back.But there was nothing there, only a narrow road.Xiao Hei at his feet must have sensed something too. He pricked up his ears and looked behind him.

"what happened?"

"No, I feel like I'm being watched"

"Oh, I wonder if there are ghost-type Pokémon."

"I do not know."

Cam decided it was just his imagination, and stood beside Sirona.

"Maybe someone like Latias."

"Latias? Why? Is there a place on this road where Latias can hide?"

"There are quite a few Legendary Pokémon that can turn invisible. This is to prevent their powers from being abused by manifesting."

"Uh, is that so?"

So far, Keim has not encountered a legendary Pokémon.Therefore, although he knew something about Legendary Pokémon, he knew very little about their ecology.I have some knowledge about Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and the original cash register Pokémon from the Hoenn region, but at most they are just legends that even children know.In addition, after serving as Sirona's assistant, I learned about the legends of the Sinnoh region, so I have some understanding, but I have not encountered the legendary Pokémon yet.

"Do you have Sirona? Met the legendary Pokémon"

"I?

"Is Full Moon Island an isolated island in the northern part of the Sinnoh region?"

"Yes. That's where I met Cresselia. It's a very beautiful Pokémon."

It is said that Sirona once met Cresselia, the ruler of the moon.

Judging from what Kem doesn't know, and from what Sirona herself said a long time ago, it is probably time for Sirona to become the champion.I didn't ask for details, but from the way he spoke I guess I just knew him.There is no battle, only "encounter".Legendary Pokémon often protect their lands.So if it disappears from there, it could lead to the disappearance of the sacred protection of the Pokémon in that land.That's why Bai Nai didn't capture or fight.

Kym thinks this is typical of her love for the Pokémon race.

"I didn't do anything special, but it was nice meeting you."

"I see. I also want to meet such a Pokémon one day."

"Are you interested?"

"Any animal trainer would be interested. I have no intention of catching them, but I want to meet them once."

Legendary Pokémon hide great power.Kaim himself doesn't even have the slightest desire to capture the Legendary Pokémon, but he's still interested in its existence.

"I'll see you someday"

"Why can't you just say it?"

"Because you are easily liked by Pokémon."

"I don't think we can just meet like this."

I looked away from Sirona with a look of disgust, looked ahead suddenly, and found a leaflet taped to the wall.

Taking a closer look, it says "Water Racing Showcase Recruiting Participants".

"There's something stuck on it."

"Oh, it's a water race."

"Water race?"

"That's right, it's a race on the waterways of Altomare City. The water-type Pokémon pulls the boat, and the trainer manipulates the reins of the water-type Pokémon to reach the finish line."

"But it can only be done in the summer, can't it?"

"It says it's an exhibition, so it might be different than what we do every year."

"You must have a water-type Pokémon to be eligible to participate."

"Are you interested?"

"No"

I thought he must be interested in the book because he read it with unexpected enthusiasm, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

"First of all, I don't have a water-type Pokémon."

"Can I borrow it?"
