Chapter 52 Ruby
As an experienced explorer, Kamiyo identified the origin of this ruby with just one glance.
This is... the fragment of the vermilion gem kept in Mount Sending Gods in the Hoenn region!
Why did it appear in the ruins of a volcano on the Seven Islands! ?
Little-known fact: although the Ruby and Sapphire are the third generation, the events in the Hoenn region of the Ruby version actually occurred earlier than those in the Kanto region according to the official timeline.
The Ruby replica version is what happened in another parallel world, and the time sequence is postponed to after Black and White.
As for the current time period in this world, since Xiaozhi has not yet gone to the Hoenn region, Kyogre and Groudon have not yet awakened, and the Magma Team and the Aqua Team have not yet started to make a big fuss.
Both the vermilion gem and the indigo gem are still strictly kept in Mount Sending Gods, and there is no possibility of any mistakes. According to the photos in various materials, there is no damage?
How could a ruby that emits energy exactly the same as it be left in the ancient ruins?
"Zhou You, take a closer look at the inscriptions on it. Is it true that nothing can be translated?!" Shen Dai asked anxiously.
"Take a closer look at this stone tablet. At least half of the text has been destroyed by time. Mr. Shen Dai, I can't just make it up for you, right?"
In fact, if he really had to make it up, Zhou You could immediately make up a complete version with high credibility based on the remaining inscriptions. After all, he has been talking nonsense seriously for a long time.
But he finally spread his hands and said, "Mr. Shen Dai, do you still remember the ancient texts on the stone tablets in the valley of the ruins of Duoxing Island, the ones I translated yesterday?"
Two stones, shining. One flashed red light, and the other flashed blue light.
A perfect match connects the past; a perfect match makes the light shine.
By then, a brand new world will come into view. The future world is created by you.
Now it has begun...
(The text of the cave of red leaves and green dots is not translated in the Japanese version, so the Chinese translation is used here.)
"There is another sapphire!?"
Kamiyo's expression became more and more strange.
He spent the first half of his life pursuing the legendary giant Pokémon, so he naturally knew the history and ruins of the Hoenn region very well, and even visited the Mount Sending God in person (although he was kicked out before entering the shrine where the gem was kept).
Since the ruby in front of him exudes energy similar to the vermilion gem, the sapphire mentioned in the Six Islands Ruins should be the corresponding indigo gem.
Could it be that there is more than one pair of gems?
Or is there another pair of Groudon and Kyogre in the Kanto region?
Or maybe this is the product left after the gem of another parallel time and space was broken, Zhou You guessed in his heart, considering the inscriptions "connecting the past" and "a brand new world", this probability is not impossible.
"Perhaps, when the red and blue gems are put together, they can produce some effect." Zhou You thought.
He remembered that in the game, the red and green rubies were important items that could only be obtained after the first round. Their only function was to give them to Jinhui on the first island to open the function of connecting and exchanging with Hoenn.
But in this world, Kanto and Hoenn did not need to open the national illustrated book or complete the mission before they could communicate and exchange. They would only encounter difficulties when communicating with extremely distant areas across the ocean.
Are the rubies and sapphires together...
Kamishiro shook his head when he heard this, took out his guidebook, and turned to one of the pages.
There were photos of the ruins of the Six Islands Point Cave, and there was also an altar that was no different from the one in front of him, but it was empty.
The sapphire disappeared at least a few years ago.
"Anyway, the discovery of this secret passage and the new inscription has already brought great progress to the archaeological work."
Realizing that tracking another gem might be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, Shen Dai could only sigh: "Next, I plan to go to the ruins of the Six Islands. Do you want to help translate?"
"No, there is only more than half a year before the opening of the Quartz Conference. I must hurry up to practice."
The ruins are endless. Compared with this, it is more urgent to train for the victory.
Seeing that the other party still has his own plans, Shen Dai had to give up the plan to invite Zhou You to join his expedition team. Indeed, how could a rookie trainer of this age focus on other things.
After copying the text on the stone tablet completely, Shen Dai originally planned to discuss the ownership of this precious ruby.
But Zhou You asked righteously on the spot: "Such a precious cultural relic, Mr. Kamishiro, you don't want to keep it for yourself and sell it for money, instead of handing it over to the local Junsha for judgment or researchers like Dr. Oak for investigation?"
Faced with such a passionate and righteous look, Kamishiro said without hesitation that he would hand it over to Dr. Oak, a highly respected researcher, after a while.
It can only be said that it's all routine.
Before leaving, Kamishiro and Zhou You agreed that after the Quartz Conference is over, he would help him translate the Point Cave Inscription that he was about to investigate, and during this period, he should not forget to decipher the stone carvings of Denghuo Mountain.
The exploration work was over, and the two who would not meet again in the short term parted ways.
Kamiyo returned to the town to order a boat ticket to Rokushima, while Zhou You continued to climb to the top of Denghuo Mountain after leaving the ruins.
……
Lights Volcano Campground at night.
"Qiaoqiao, did you really not translate that incomplete slate?" Eden, who had watched the whole process in the ball during the day, asked curiously.
"Being able to identify half of the missing ancient text at a glance is not a translation but a superpower. However, I did translate all the parts that were not too seriously damaged."
According to the complete part of the inscription, in addition to the red and blue gems, there is actually a green gem.
And if you can get these three together, you can go to a certain place in the Chengdu area to open a closed door.
"It sounds like the annoying collection elements have been added again." Eden was speechless.
"Indeed, just ignore it."
Just as Zhou You was about to continue deciphering the inscription, Arthur, who had been playing with the fire stone since leaving the ruins, suddenly made a surprised sound.
"Wow!?"
"The color of the Fire Stone has darkened." Eden translated.
He looked around and heard it, and sure enough, the blue flame inside it had a tendency to gradually extinguish after Arthur played with it all afternoon. Even the original blue flame gradually turned into the orange color of a normal fire stone. .
Leftover rice: Desire but stops.
Gene told the onlookers that this thing was a crucial tool for him to break the shackles.
"Don't worry, Leftover, you still need more accumulation to become stronger when evolving." And Zhou You really can't feed a wind speed dog at the moment.
"Woof!" Got it, you have to eat more food before evolving!
Eden: "..."
Zhu Zi began to sneak out of the picture!
