Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

N talks fast, and Cam is a little unfaithful.

"I know.

"So, what is that Taiji diagram?"

"The idea of ​​Taijitu is to enhance each other through pairing. This pairing applies to the ideals and truths of the Zekrom and Rashiram reigns."

"By lifting each other up, you form a spiral and climb higher."

"Yes. So, if you're going to make assumptions about the information related to the name of your dragon Lasenta, then you should also touch on the content of Zekrom and Rashiram's reign."

"But are ideals and truth really a pair? Sometimes the ideal becomes the truth itself, and it is also possible that the truth will be established as your own ideal."

"That's why this Tai Chi diagram is so important."

Sirona displayed an image of the Tai Chi map on her smartphone and showed it to Kem.

"There are small white and black holes in these jade hooks.

"It's like you can't quite separate the two."

"Yes, for example, a man can have feminine thoughts, and vice versa. Just like there is shadow in light and light in shadow, it always has an attribute of the opposite sex, that's what it means."

"In this case, it is possible that what you think is the ideal is the truth, and the truth itself becomes your ideal. What Kem just said is both."

"Exactly."

"Why is N answering"

I don't know if it's because he is already knowledgeable or because N is smart, but all opportunities to speak out have been deprived by Kaim.

"I just fill in the numbers needed for the answer based on your hypothetical formula. You don't have to worry about the underlying formula."

"I think that's a pretty good hypothesis, even if it's a little lacking. That said, I don't know if there's anything in the tower itself to support it."

In fact, Cam, who has watched it for a while, can also come up with this hypothesis.If there was evidence to support this, archaeologists in the Hezhong area would have discovered it long ago.

"Study history and understand the deep psychology of people at that time, right?

"You just said some math formulas, but are you good at math?"

"Yes, don't you think it would be fun to master the answers derived from the formulas?"

"I've only studied it to an extent for exams at most, but this is research that can be applied in various fields. It's safe to say that it's fundamental research."

"I hope one day you can experience the joy of mathematics."

I didn’t know if there would really be a chance to learn, but Kaim nodded after listening to N’s words, vaguely feeling that if Sirona could learn, it would be worth it.

"Let's go to the next level, we still have a long way to go."

Hearing Sirona's words, Cam nodded, and N followed them.

"You're making things complicated again."

Following the spiral staircase by the wall, the three of them ascended to the third floor.It's built in such a way that there's only one way traffic because of the steps, and it's designed so that if you go the wrong way, you have to go back one by one.

"And it's dangerous, isn't it?"

There is absolutely nothing between the aisles, and if you stumble, you will fall.

"That's it from now on, watch your step."

"Uh, did you really come down from the top of the mountain?"

Cam reacts to N's words.

Understanding the previous levels means that you have already walked this path.Knowing what lies ahead requires a choice between climbing the tower before or descending from the top.If anything, coming down from the top makes it easier to think in context.

"Yes. I came down from above. But Kem, have you considered the possibility that I have climbed this tower before?"

"I thought about it. I didn't know what to do before, but this time, I just think it's more likely to come down from above."

"That's as you expected. By the way, I have climbed this tower before."

"Hey, why is that person here?"

"Team Plasma Related"

"Yes. Then don't ask me."

Keim didn't ask about the N in Team Plasma, either because he wasn't interested or because he thought it best not to touch it.

However, this was not something N wanted to talk about, so he was grateful for Cam's thoughtfulness.At the same time, I think I understand part of why Keim is so beloved among Pokémon.

"It's a bit dangerous here. If you want to see this floor, you'd better go to the other side. It's safer to look at it from the top of the stairs."

"That's it, I don't want to stay in a dangerous place for too long."

"This time it's not an investigation, it's just an observation."

"I know the way, so I'll lead the way."

"Thank you"

"help"

After obtaining the consent of both of them, N jumped over the steps and walked forward.

If you look at the steps from this side, it's a gentle slope, so you're unlikely to miss a step.Plus, he was the same height as Cam, so he didn't want to risk going backwards.

"I'm leaving first. It's very dangerous. Give me your hand."

"Thank you"

Sirona climbed the steps with Cam's help.

Cam went first, and when he got to the other side, Sirona also jumped down the steps.Thanks to Kem's help, Sirona was able to move forward without difficulty. N walked along the road at the speed of the two, and followed N to the stairs leading to the upper floor.

"After all, stairs are spirals."

"Since it is a cylindrical tower, the simplest structure is inevitably a spiral tower. The only thing that bothers me"

Sirona lowered her gaze and saw the pillars supporting the current floor.

The pillar extends into the darkness below, but you can't see beyond it.It looked like a simple tower, but there was clearly something suspicious.

"How is this hierarchy supported?"

"Of course. I didn't see the pillars supporting this floor on the upper floor."

"But this pillar grows downwards, doesn't it?"

"what"

I remember the situation below, but I don't think there was anything similar back then.On top of that, if you look up, there is a white light shining above.I don't see any obstructions on it.

"Maybe the whole hierarchy itself is spiraling and we're not noticing."

"Is that so? If the floors are arranged in a spiral, it wouldn't be surprising if there were no columns."

"It's a pity that there is nothing to observe, but to record with photographs."

"It was just for tourism, there is no way."

N looked at the two of them intently, and continued the discussion while looking at the photo records.

Noticing that gaze, Cam showed a puzzled expression.

"…What's wrong"

"Oh, not at all."

"What did you do? We"

I asked Sirona, but Sirona didn't seem to know and shook her head.In fact, all I had just done was look at the records I had taken and argue with Kem about whether there was anything that could be related to the other records.

"No, you didn't do anything."

"Then what is this?"

"I have seen many different worlds this year. Not only the connection between people and Pokémon, but also the connection between people and Pokémon."

"so?"

"The trusting relationship between you is the warmest I have ever seen. Just seeing you makes my heart warm. It's not just that we trust each other. We respect each other and support each other." By complementing each other, it seems that this The goals of the relationship will be higher than they are now. "

We don't just trust each other.Going further, we can understand each other, understand each other, we can support each other, support each other, and we can make up for what each other can't do.

Most of the people N meets are people who trust each other.Some relationships are superficial, some are based on ill will, but most are based on mutual trust.

However, this was the first time they trusted each other the way Sirona and Cam did, and went further from there.People always draw boundaries when interacting with others, but these two try to get to know each other better by getting to know each other better.Among them, there is a feeling of "I want to know more about each other."That's why they often talk about "different perspectives" in discussions.

"Yes, I am Kaim's master. Whether in combat or in archaeology."

"Yes, I knew right away that you were capable of teaching Cam.

"But it seems to be much closer than the master-student relationship. Your relationship is very good."

"I understand."

N genuinely thought their relationship was beautiful and precious.I don't think there are many people who can form such a relationship.N, who has been in contact with people and Pokémon in one state for about a year, might think so.

I haven't told N about their relationship yet.I thought there was no need to tell, but I decided not to tell N who met me for the first time.On top of that, I never thought I'd get credit for our relationship.

Sirona was a little embarrassed, but at the same time she was very satisfied. Even from the other party's perspective, it could be seen that their relationship was very good.Because it means a deeper relationship with Cam.

"I am very concerned about the relationship between people and Pokémon, but after watching "Jun", I want to know more about the relationship between people and Pokémon."

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but I know you're complimenting me."

"I'm glad to hear that. But N, I think it's nice that you learn not just by watching, but by interacting with people."

"Yeah, that's right. I'm sure it will do me good. Thank you. Thank you."

After thanking her suddenly, Sirona and Cam exchanged a look.

"Did you do anything to thank me?"

"I do not have."

"I see, I don't know."

Cam said that he didn't quite understand, but Sirona somehow understood why N should thank him.

However, since she was too lazy to say anything, Bai Nai followed the two upstairs without saying anything.
