Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

Near the entrance are broken and somewhat decayed pillars.Sirona sat next to the pillar and touched it with her gloved hands.The structure seemed familiar to her in a way.

"This pillar, as if I've seen it before."

"Did you discover it?"

"Its shape is similar to the pillars of Tiangan Mountain."

"Correct. You really have wise observation."

Tenganzan is located in the Sinnoh region, and at its deepest point there is an altar known as the Spear of Tenganzan.As the name suggests, there are several huge pillars erected there, and according to legend, the legendary Sinnoh region Pokémon were once enshrined here.

"The pillars of this Sinto ruins and the pillars of the Spear of Tiangan Mountain. These two ruins were built by the same people or people with the same technology. Although the pillars here are broken and weathered, they are integrated with the Sinnoh area. And the cultures of the Johto area. And they are right between the Sinnoh area and the Johto area. This is enough to be strong evidence that the two places are related."

“The Sinnoh area is a snowy place. With the current technical conditions, it is hard to imagine why they would move to the Johto area with a pleasant climate.”

"That's right. Maybe there are other reasons, but we don't know yet."

"If we think about why people change where they live, maybe we can find some clues."

"To understand this, let's start investigating internally."

The interior of the ruins is larger than it appears from the outside.

Also, the atmosphere inside and outside feels different.While the outside is freezing cold, the inside exudes stateliness, yet has an air of familiarity.

Altar-like pillars are located at the four corners, and there are patterns painted on the floor.Each triangle has a circle drawn in the center of its corner, and the patterns engraved on it vary.

"It feels a little weird."

"Yeah, right. Don't know how to describe this. It's just this feeling coming from inside."

"Nostalgic?"

"Yes. Nostalgic. That's the most accurate adjective."

Why feel nostalgic?Both Sirona and Kaim came to this ruins for the first time.Arguably, they shouldn't have cause for nostalgia.

Even so, they both felt a certain nostalgia for some reason.Sirona felt this nostalgia even more strongly.

"I haven't had such a strong sense of nostalgia since returning to Sinnoh Town."

"Really? It's so powerful."

".I feel very nostalgic."

Cam also felt a little nostalgia, but not enough to make him think of his hometown.

The difference between Sirona and Kem.There are many aspects, but some of the differences associated with this relic can be considered.Keim thinks it is most efficient and important to compare them.

"Birthplace?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Nostalgia is an emotion originally generated by hometown or a place where we have stayed. Sirona's hometown is Sinnoh Town, and I am Bayside City. Although they are completely different places, we both feel nostalgia. I even thought it was the nearby city of Meo, but that wasn't right either.

So, what do they have in common?That is now we both live in the Sinnoh area.Compared to me, Sirona, who has lived in the Sinnoh area for a long time, feels nostalgia more strongly.Well, it might not be a specific place, but a reason to live in the Sinnoh area.That's probably what triggers the nostalgia, no? "

The Sinto Ruins are ruins built by people who missed their hometown after living in Sinnoh.It has a similar internal structure to the Aluf ruins that communicate with beings in Sinnoh.

"What is this altar?"

"It's likely to have something to do with the mythology of the Sinnoh place."

"Is the myth of Sinnoh related to Arceus?"

"Yes. Most likely."

Arceus is a legendary Pokémon that is said to have created everything from nothing in Sinnoh.The myth records that it created the three Pokémon that control time, space and antimatter, and created the world.

"It is very likely that this "three stages" represent "time", "space" and "antimatter" respectively."

"Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina."

"Yes. This raises some questions. First, where did the people who built this ruin put down their roots in Yot? Second, when they built this ruin, did legendary Pokémon like Arceus appear? What if If there were, we could explain that they left them here untouched, but if they didn't, it would be different."

"For the people of the era who built this ruin, did Arceus become a mythical existence for them?"

"Yes. If their existence has become a myth from the time when this ruin was built, then it becomes very important when the mythology of the Sinnoh place originated. It would be valuable if we could figure this out. "

"Then, let's begin our investigation with full force."

"Yes. Let's split up."

Chapter 7 Sirona's Mischief

"call"

"Oops, is it break time?"

When returning to the mountain house, the old manager greeted him.

Cathy is sleeping next to the stove.

"By the way, take a break to sort out the information"

"It's really hard work. What about Miss Sirona?"

"She was so engrossed in what she was doing that she couldn't hear anything. Once she's like that, she can't see her surroundings."

"That's right. Her concentration is amazing"

"Although I replied asking her to take a break, she probably didn't listen at all"

The old man smiled at the way Cam shrugged.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. The trust between you two is very good."

""

"Since you didn't stop her, it means you still believe in her in your heart, right? Judging from your tone of voice just now, if you really want her to rest, you will even force her to rest."

"Because I'm a nosy person. I can't always ignore things like that."

"It has something to do with your personality, too. But, Miss Sirona also trusts Mr. Kem. She knows you'll stop her before she goes 'over the top' so she can enjoy it. It's a good relationship of trust"

"…"

Cam didn't know how to answer, but just took a sip of warm tea.

"She is your important person"

"Yes. It's my mentor. I can have the status I have now, thanks to Sirona"

“It is important to be able to express your feelings openly”

"Yes"

"The topic has changed. Was Mr. Keim born in Sinnoh?"

"No, I'm from Hoenn"

"Oh. Then where did you and Miss Sirona meet?"

“We go to Maize University. There’s a professor there that Sirona knows, so”

Strictly speaking, there are some differences, but Cam feels that there is no need to explain it in detail here, so he will briefly mention it.

"?"

Sensing movement behind him, Cam turned to see Kathy grabbing his shirt.

"What's wrong?"

"Ouch, that's really rare. Kathy rarely gets close to other people"

"Oh"

Cam put his hand on Kathy's head and stroked it gently.Although it doesn't look as comfortable as the Dark Crow, it doesn't have a particularly annoying expression either.

"Mr. Cam, Pokémon seem to like you"

"Sirona said the same thing to me hey be careful"

Casey used teleportation to stand on Cam's head.

"It's a bit heavy"

"Hahaha. I've never seen Casey treat you like this."

"Can you handle it?"

"There are very few people here, so how about playing with it for a while?"

“It’s just a break”

During the next break, Cam played with Casey for a while, but he didn't expect that Casey was mischievous and caused a lot of trouble to Cam. This is another story.

It has been hours since the investigation began.

Sirona has been preoccupied with the investigation.Normally, human beings can't concentrate for too long, but she was hardly distracted and kept going.

"It really is this"

"Hey"

"Wow!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, Sirona turned her head and saw Cam standing there expressionlessly.

"Cam, what's wrong?"

"You're too focused. Been there all week, trying too hard from the start"

"Ah time flies. Sorry, didn't notice"

".Take a little rest"

Cam motioned for Sirona to come with him.

They walked to the entrance of the ruins, where Sirona sat on a large rock, while Keim leaned on a pillar.

It was still snowing when I came here, but it has stopped now.Cam decided it would be okay to take a break outside, and poured a cup of warm tea from the thermos.

"for you"
