Chapter 302 The Defiled Lassim
Inside the Dragon Spiral Tower.
Boom! !
"Ughhhh!"
To support the towering Dragon Spiral Tower, many pillars were built inside, and these pillars were engraved with intricate patterns, similar to the patterns that the Popular People carved in the Sky Pillar to record history.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Higana secretly reached out and touched it.
Then, the pillar "quietly" fell down.
A loud "bang" rang out, indicating the shattering of the object.
If Ze Shu hadn't grabbed Xi Jiana by the back in time and pulled her away, she might have been hit right in the bullseye and flattened.
"Huff huff..."
'
Higana, who had escaped to heaven, was panting heavily.
Ze Shu didn't scold her, but her expression showed a hint of helplessness.
Higana's face flushed red as soon as the fog appeared.
When you make a mistake, the silent, seemingly habitual treatment from your companions is perhaps more shameful than direct scolding.
"I...I! This pillar, this design..."
But for a moment, she couldn't make sense of what she was saying.
Ze Shu sighed, "I understand."
Higana puffed out her cheeks, exclaiming anxiously, "You...you don't understand!!"
"How was I supposed to know this pillar would topple over with just a touch! I only touched it lightly, just a light touch! And the pillar tilted and just collapsed! It's outrageous! This Dragon Spiral Tower is even more dilapidated than our Meteor Clan's Sky Pillar, which hasn't been repaired in ages!"
"How can you blame me for this?!"
Higana longs for Zeki's understanding.
Ze Shu sighed and said, "I'm not blaming you."
"Why are you sighing if you're not blaming me!" Higana puffed out her cheeks, glaring at Ze Shu resentfully, trying to find an explanation. "You are blaming me! You're probably thinking that Higana is too lame! Too stupid! Too dumb!"
No, you, Xijiana, have a pretty clear sense of self.
This time, Ze Shu didn't sigh. He simply pointed behind Higanbana to the end of the collapsed pillar. Higanbana looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a Pokémon, made of bluestone and mud, resembling a small person, lying on the end of the pillar.
The pillar happened to be pressing down on its chubby belly, causing its limbs to be exposed.
It thrashed about, its limbs flailing wildly, as if in mourning. But it couldn't move the pillar or break free.
"Is this a clay doll? It's a native of the Dragon Spiral Tower here," said Little Blue.
"Yes. Higana not only destroyed this native's house, but also pinned him under a pillar. Truly a heinous crime," Ze Shu added.
Higana blushed.
"I...I..."
She quickly released the Wyvern and the Roaring Moon to move the pillar away, and then used all her strength to rescue the clay doll.
The clay figurine was rescued, but its belly was also crushed.
The ferocious appearances of the Flying Dragon and the Roaring Moon, especially the Roaring Moon, terrified the clay doll so much that it cried hysterically, clutching its deflated belly and wanting to go home to its mother.
Then, before it could run away, its "mother" really came.
It was a humanoid clay giant, dozens of times larger than a clay doll.
Clay Giant, an evolved form of the Clay Doll.
They are said to have been created by people in ancient times as “machines” to protect their homes and replace labor. To this day, the Pokémon research community has never been able to figure out the energy that drives them.
But at some point, they gained consciousness and became a kind of Pokémon.
Even though they became Pokémon, as ancient laborers, they remained loyal to human commands and were the most capable and hardworking close companions of ancient humans.
"But looking at this clay giant, it...it doesn't seem to be friendly to humans!" Higana exclaimed in a panic.
"Isn't that because you bullied someone else's child?" Ze Shu retorted.
"N-no, it was an accident..." muttered, Higana with a death-defying expression, shouting at the clay giant, "Queen Higana, how could I be such a shameless person! I... I'll take responsibility for what I did! Clay giant, just throw that pillar back at me! That way, I'll be even with your child!"
Higanbana's words about taking responsibility all by herself truly make her seem great.
But the clay giant didn't understand what this guy was yelling about.
It was originally drawn here by the commotion, and seeing the clay figurine's crushed state, it was determined to attack back on behalf of its people.
But then it saw the glowing white stone in Ze Shu's hand.
The moment I saw this stone, especially the moment I felt the radiance emanating from it.
The clay giant stiffly and awkwardly knelt down on one knee.
Then, he performed a greeting that looked awkward and uncomfortable.
Higanbana: "Huh?!"
"It...it's not pressing me down with the pillar anymore?!"
Clay giants were created by people in ancient times to help with their work.
In the ancient Unova Kingdom, Rashiram, or rather, the dragon that Rashiram represents, was the most revered power in the kingdom.
Even after the "Dragon" split and the two princes went to war due to their differing ideologies, Lashiram still represented the power of one of the princes.
The clay giant's actions were a declaration of loyalty to Xiang Zeshu, or rather, to the Light Stone in Xiang Zeshu's hands.
The little clay figure crying beside it was bewildered when it was slapped by the giant clay figure's large fist, and half of its head and belly were crushed.
But perhaps it was also brought to its senses by the slap, because the clay figure also imitated the clay giant in a rather awkward way, performing the same greeting.
But with its sunken belly and half-shrunk head, the gesture of courtesy looks rather comical.
Ze Shu was somewhat taken aback by what he saw.
Just by coming to this Dragon Spiral Tower, he... gained the allegiance of an entire race?
-
No, that's not it. He's just pledging allegiance to Lashiram, who is under his command.
But coincidentally, this Dragon Spiral Tower is quite dangerous because it's been neglected and its pillars are prone to collapse, plus the terrain is complicated. It needs a "native" to guide the way to the place where the "Dragon God's" energy gathers inside the tower.
It would be perfect if these clay figurines or giant clay figures could lead the way.
Ze Shu made this request to them.
The clay giant is too large to move around freely inside the tower, even though it has a long and tall structure. So it's best to have the clay golems lead the way.
The bewildered clay figure suddenly realized what was happening just as the clay giant's hand was about to smash its other head, and ran in panic to Ze Shu's side.
"Unnie! Unnie!"
After calling out a few times, it took the lead and ran into the depths of the Dragon Spiral Tower.
"Let's follow."
Ze Shu felt the Bright Stone in his hand getting hot, and casually flicked it at Xi Jiana, who was still debating whether or not to smash the pillar. He then led her, who was covering her forehead, to follow the clay doll's steps.
The road wound and twisted, and I don't know how long it took.
Feeling the tremors of the Light Stone, and with the clay figurine stopping nervously, Ze Shu knew that they had finally arrived at their destination.
This is a spacious place resembling a dry "altar," with two rather large rings in the center, perhaps the "resting place" of Lessilam and Zekrom.
[Quick! Quick! Put me in the circle on the left!]
[I can sense the presence of another entity. Sure enough, it's been here before!]
Lacey Ram's consciousness echoed in Ze Shu's mind again.
Ze Shu did as he was told and walked up. Before he even got close to the left circle that Lashiram had mentioned, the Light Stone in his hand flew out first and landed in the center.
At this moment, Ze Shu felt that the entire Dragon Spiral Tower was undergoing some kind of change—some kind of substance, manifested as a vortex, was gradually flowing into the Light Stone.
The Bright Stone also radiates a dazzling light.
Within the radiance, scorching flames also erupted.
In the legends of the founding of the United States, it is recorded that the dragon possesses the power of "fire" and "lightning".
After it split into three, this Lashiram inherited this flame.
Even in Unova mythology, Reshiram is described as a legendary Pokémon capable of burning the world to ashes with its flames.
As the flames grew hotter, Higana, Xiaolan, and the clay doll were all scorched by the flames and had to retreat several steps to the edge of the altar to avoid injury.
Ze Shu did not retreat at all. In the eyes of Xi Jiana and the others, he seemed to be engulfed by the white light and flames emitted by the Light Stone.
The clay figurine was terrified. Wouldn't this person be roasted alive? It was only hiding this far away, yet the clay on its body was almost turned into porcelain!
Ze Shu was not cooked through.
He didn't seem to feel any heat at all; he simply watched the changes in the Light Stone quietly.
Even from the jade necklace hidden under his clothes on his chest, a comfortable "gurgle" sound came from where he had just woken up, as if a fish was swimming gently inside.
The Bright Stone has begun to expand gradually.
In Ze Shu's eyes, it was a small, white stone that could be held in one hand.
It gradually grew like an evolution, eventually becoming a stone sculpture resembling a combination of a white bird and a giant winged claw.
Yes, it is a white Lashiram stone carving.
Ze Shu tilted his head.
You rushed me so much and made such a fuss, and this is what you've done?
The resentment of Lashiram echoed in her mind.
[Damn it! That guy! That guy absorbed most of the remaining energy here, even my share! Damn it!]
"So, you're out of energy? You can only revert to this form?" Ze Shu asked.
One [It's possible, it might be like this....]
Lassiram seemed somewhat embarrassed.
But, but, do you have anything that can generate heat? Heat is my source; if you give me heat, I should be able to recover.
"Calories".
Upon hearing this word, Ze Shu nodded.
"You've come to the right person."
1. [You really have it?!]
Lassiram's voice was full of surprise.
1. [But I'll need quite a few calories!]
"I do have it. And the quantity should be quite large."
Ze Shu confirmed.
—【Then give it all to me!】
"Then bear with it, it might hurt a little."
Lassilam: "???"
What does "pain" mean? How could that be!
As it just said, its origin is heat, and it only feels comfortable when any "heat" comes to it.
And can heat make it hurt?
This is absolutely hilarious...
As Rashiram was thinking.
Ze Shu had already walked up to the stone sculpture in the shape of Lashiram, his pupils slightly flashing with brilliant golden light, and then he reached out and touched the surface of the Lashiram stone sculpture.
At first, Lassiram only felt a comfortable warmth.
The stone carving's surface was also mottled and pieces had fallen off, revealing Rashiram's fair, seemingly flawless dragon skin.
Sure enough, "heat" doesn't hurt it, it only makes it feel good.
Bring in as much of this "heat" as you like!
Lassiram was thinking.
But slowly, Lassiram suddenly felt that there seemed to be something strange mixed in with the fire that the human had injected, accompanied by waves of abnormal pain—a pain that Lassiram had never felt before.
In fact, the pain is getting stronger and stronger!
[It hurts so much!!]
[What kind of fire is that?! Ouch!!]
Lassiram's consciousness had never felt so aggrieved.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lassilam felt that the beginning of this period was the most difficult time of its life.
However, the pain contained within the human flames subsided a little afterward, perhaps due to familiarity, and it didn't hurt as much anymore. Just a little.
Thanks to the flames, the stone walls on its body have completely fallen off, revealing its fair and slender dragon body.
Its entire body is covered in pure white feathers, and with its azure eyes, it resembles a dragon sent by an angel, bringing a sense of holiness.
But now it lay limply on the ground, panting heavily, as if it had been tainted by the flames fiercely injected by the Ze Shu Wolf.
【You've defiled me!】
Through this infusion, the same brilliant golden flames that Ze Shu used when wielding flames constantly burned in Lexiram's indigo eyes.
-
"Now that you're awake, you should keep your promise and tell me where Hoopa is being held, right?"
"And to be honest, in the Unova legends I know, there's no mention of you having the ability to find things, right? I'm very curious about how you find them."
Upon hearing this, Lexiram, though collapsing weakly to the ground, still managed a cold snort.
I told you not to question me!
Although I lack the ability to find people, I... can sense... something in that so-called "dark scientist" you mentioned...
The smell of Kyurem.
[You might not be able to smell this scent, but it's clearly identifiable to my nose and another guy's. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I can still find his location!]
You helped me recover, and I will naturally help you find the place you need!
After saying this, Rashiram closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
Ze Shu listened quietly and looked at it, waiting for its answer.
But a long time passed.
It still has its eyes closed.
Ze Shu asked, "Did you find it?"
Lashiram opened her eyes, embarrassed, and said, "This...this...the smell of Kyurem is present in many places! I can't identify it for the moment!"
Ze Shu:
'
What an unreliable dragon!
However, when Laceram revealed some Kyurem-scented locations near Fuki City, Zeki and Xiaolan quickly pinpointed one place, since other places were too improbable.
The large open space in the town center, the forest garden, the Pokémon League Hall—most of these are locations where Team Plasma has given speeches in the past.
The only place that is questionable is...
"That's a destroyer from the Plasma Team that's stationed in Feiyun City," Ze Shu said.
"How did you know?! There's no destroyer on the map!!" Higana exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.
"because...."
Ze Shu fumbled around and finally pulled out a key.
"Do you remember what I got in return when I traded N for Quidditch in Raven City?"
Before Higana could guess, Zeshu gave the answer on his own.
"What we're exchanging is this destroyer."
"However, if Akromma is really there, then this destroyer might not truly belong to me alone..."
