Leaving the small town associated with the Squirtle Squad, we headed all the way to Vermilion City. Finally, before sunset, Paul and Melanie came to a place where they could see the sea.
As an important transportation hub and port city in Kanto, Vermilion City is not far once you see the sea.
* However, where does this unknown road lead to? *
Passing through the forest, the blue sea appeared before Paul's eyes. * It seems that we are almost at Bill's lighthouse. * Paul looked at the distant coastline with some hesitation.
* There is an opportunity here, and it is a huge opportunity. It's just a big and outrageous super ancient Dragonite. According to Paul's reasoning, this guy should not be a product of Dynamaxing. *
*After all, Kanto is too far away from the Galar region, and it is impossible for there to be a Power Spot. *
* It is also unlikely to be a Totem Pokémon. Totem Pokémon are only one or two sizes larger than the Pokémon of the same family. This Dragonite is probably more than ten times larger than the ordinary Dragonite. *
* So it can only be Pokémon from ancient times. After all, super ancient Pokémon are all very large. *
* Chance is chance, but Paul scratched his head because he couldn't beat it! The Pokémon at hand, the most powerful Electabuzz and Prinplup, have just entered the gym level, which is between 35 and 45. The power level of this Dragonite is probably close to level 65. It is not a champion level, it is invincible! *
* Paul was distressed *. Suddenly the Poké Ball at his waist opened automatically, and a small Gible with a big head started gnawing on Paul's head.
Paul was speechless. "Gible, you are enough. Eat a pacifier when you are hungry, don't bite my head."
"Gib!" Suddenly Gible jumped up, and then landed in front of Paul, staring straight ahead.
"What's the matter?" Paul asked.
Boom! It landed like an explosion. A strong and vigorous Garchomp landed straight in front of Paul.
"Ah, such a cute Gible. Is he your Pokémon?" came an elegant and quiet voice.
Paul was taken aback, and looked at the woman in a black coat with blond hair in disbelief. * Cynthia?!!! *
"Huh? Do you know me? I'm Cynthia."
Paul stepped forward excitedly. "I'm sorry, I misspoke in my excitement. Hello Miss Cynthia, I'm Paul, a trainer from Sinnoh."
Cynthia smiled gently. "So you're a Sinnoh trainer. We are from the same place then."
* This is Cynthia, the goddess Paul dreams of! * * In daily life, she is as gentle as water, perfectly cute, and heroic in battle, an invincible Valkyrie. *
* It's really sweet and wonderful *. Paul thought, * At this moment, I'm in love! *
And the Gible, which had been lifted up by Garchomp at this time, stayed on top of Garchomp's head, laughing happily.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Paul. Why are you here?" Cynthia asked with a smile on her face while teasing the little Gible.
"Paul, is this an acquaintance?" Melanie also followed at this time.
Paul hurriedly introduced, "This is Melanie, my, uh, acquaintance!!!"
* There was no way, to clarify the relationship, Paul decided his pride didn't matter *.
"Eh?" Melanie's face flushed instantly. She didn't expect Paul to introduce her like this; she was still a young woman!
"As for this one," Paul looked at Cynthia seriously, with radiance in his eyes, "She is the champion of the Sinnoh region, a talented woman who reached the top of Sinnoh at the age of 16, Miss Cynthia, and at the same time, a scholar who studies ancient mythology and civilization."
Cynthia looked at Paul with interest. "Paul, you really know me. Don't be so polite, you can just call me Cynthia."
"Okay! Cynthia!" Paul agreed excitedly.
"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. Then, Paul, did you just travel here?" Cynthia asked with a smile.
"Actually, there is one thing!" Paul said first.
"Cynthia, have you heard of super ancient Pokémon?"
Cynthia's eyes lit up. "There are indeed related records, but I haven't seen the real thing."
"There is Bill's lighthouse. It is said that Bill has been waiting for a huge Pokémon that will appear in the fog. According to my analysis, it is likely to be a super ancient Pokémon!" Paul said decisively. * Bill was sold out *.
"Oh, I see. It just so happens that I came here this time to visit Bill and I want to check some documents. It seems that this trip is worthwhile." Cynthia looked towards the lighthouse.
"Yes, I also came here because I wanted to see a huge super ancient Pokémon." Paul nodded.
"Then, come with me," Cynthia invited.
"Then thank you so much, Cynthia. As a reward, please let me cook a delicious dinner for all of us," Paul said confidently.
* If you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach! For this day, the gourmet genes from my culinary heritage are already ready to move! *
The three of them came together to the gate of the classic lighthouse, and Cynthia stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Bill's strange voice came from the loudspeaker.
"It's me, Bill. I'm Cynthia," Cynthia stroked her hair and replied gently.
"Oh, it's Champion Cynthia! Please wait a moment, I'll open the door for you and your companions immediately."
Click. The door opened. * Cynthia's reputation is very useful *, Paul noted.
The three walked through the dark corridor to the hall of the lighthouse.
* Maybe I should ask Professor Oak where Ash has gone *, Paul thought.
Kacha. The lights were bright, and a huge Kabuto costume appeared in front of Paul, Melanie, and Cynthia.
* Whoa! It's such a big Kabuto! * Paul was startled, and almost threw a Poké Ball.
"Really, Bill, your bad taste is still so amazing," Cynthia laughed.
"Hey, this thing is a person?" Melanie was stunned.
"I'm very sorry, could I ask that young man to do me a favor and press this button!" Bill's voice came from inside the costume.
Paul looked along Bill's little costume claws, and it turned out there was an emergency release button on the belly of the Kabuto costume, and the costume's claws were too short to reach.
"Okay then, I'm coming, I'll press it!" Paul stepped forward and pressed the switch.
When the switch was pressed, Bill finally took off the costume, took a breath, and appeared.
* Why do you stuff yourself into a costume that you can't take off *, Paul complained helplessly to himself.
"Well, it's because of research. I want to study how Kabuto thinks. I want to know why the supposedly extinct Kabuto became extinct," Bill said seriously.
"What? They aren't extinct at all," Paul pouted and whispered.
"What did you say?!" Bill was shocked. * Did he have the opportunity to see these extinct Pokémon with his own eyes? *
Paul looked at Cynthia with sparkling eyes, sighed, and realized he had to reveal the information, regretting his impulsive whisper.
"Actually, in Sinnoh and some developed areas, fossil resurrection technology has already entered into practical application. As far as I know, Roark in the Sinnoh region owns a Rampardos resurrected from ancient fossils!" Paul explained slowly.
"However, what I want to say has nothing to do with resurrection technology."
"Then what do you mean? Do these Pokémon still exist somewhere?" Bill was dying of anxiety.
"I hope Cynthia and Mr. Bill don't spread the news widely, because these ancient Pokémon that still exist are sleeping quietly in one place, and I don't want them to be targeted by poachers."
Cynthia nodded solemnly. "Of course. If it is confirmed that there are ancient Pokémon activities, I will contact the Elite Four Lance in Kanto and suggest setting up a conservation area there!"
"Okay, these ancient Pokémon are in the Grand Canyon!" Paul spit out the place name.
"What, it's there, really? How many are there? What kind of Pokémon are there?" Bill was extremely excited.
"Well, there should be a lot of Kabuto, because they live in groups. There are Kabuto everywhere in the canyon fault, and there are also some Kabutops and Omanyte. But I suggest, Bill, that you'd better go with someone from the Pokémon League, like the Elite Four, to investigate together. Because there might be an ancient king there," Paul said seriously.
"An ancient king!" Bill's eyes lit up. "You mean?"
"That's right, there's a revived Aerodactyl there," Paul replied with a nod.
"Oh my God! If it's true, it would be heaven!" Bill couldn't contain himself; he pulled out a mobile phone and started making calls.
It could be heard that the person on the other end should be the great Dragon Master, Lance.
Lance: (* Your whole family are flying kings! *)
"I'm sorry, Miss Cynthia, and this young friend Paul, I'm going on a long trip!" Bill waved to the group with huge luggage already on his back.
"Eh? Then what should we do?" Melanie pointed at the three of them.
"It doesn't matter, we are all friends. The information that Miss Cynthia wants is next to the bookshelf. You can do whatever you want. Whenever you want to leave, just lock the door for me. Goodbye!!"
Watching Bill hurry away, Paul gestured awkwardly, "Well, I guess it's just Cynthia and me left to observe the huge, super ancient Pokémon."
"It looks like it, Paul. Um," Cynthia blushed slightly, "I'm a little hungry."
Seeing Cynthia's cute appearance, Paul felt his resolve weaken and said, "No problem! Leave it to me! Melanie, you can read a book with Miss Cynthia and rest for a while. Watch me show you some authentic Sinnoh home cooking!"
Rolling up his sleeves, Paul was full of pride. * Let me show Cynthia how extensive and profound Sinnoh cooking is! *
