Chapter 597 Searching for the Stone Tablet, My Thoughts and Answers
Faced with the shocking truth, Darkrai was stunned for several seconds before his expression suddenly darkened, he let out a cold snort, and disappeared into the shadows.
"Ah this..."
Su Yi scratched his head awkwardly.
"Huh?"
Toothless tilted its head at Su Yi with some confusion. It didn't understand how they could turn on each other so suddenly when they were just chatting so well.
Su Yi shrugged helplessly, turned around and followed the instructions in the "Hunting Guide" into a cave not far away.
After Su Yi's figure disappeared into the cave, Darkrai's figure emerged from the grass not far away.
"Hmph, just you wait! As long as I can get something back..."
Darkrai finished speaking with a reluctant tone and turned his head towards the direction of the Moonlit Battlefield.
……
Inside the cave, one could see some thorns shed by the Nergigante. The cave's structure was not complicated, and Su Yi quickly entered the deepest part.
Finally, under a pile of rubble, Su Yi dug out the Nergigante Capture Ball.
"Judging from the marks around it, it seems to have been deliberately buried..."
Su Yi brushed the dust off the capture ball, and his mind suddenly started wandering.
To be honest, his bond with Nergigante is only at the level of being able to barely command it; it's not that deep. It usually acts like a lord, paying attention to you when it's in a good mood and ignoring you completely when it's not.
What does it mean that it deliberately buried the captured ball now?
Feeling like you've finally gotten rid of him?!
dong dong dong...
Just as Su Yi was lost in thought, a series of heavy footsteps sounded.
"Ah, gah!"
Sensing the familiar scent, Toothless immediately turned his head and greeted them happily.
"Well……"
Su Yi turned his head and looked out. The blinding sunlight shining in from outside the cave made him squint involuntarily. At the same time, a blurry image of a demonic dragon came into view.
Woohoo!
The Nergigante spread its wings, blocking most of the light from the cave entrance, allowing Su Yi to slowly open his eyes and see the Nergigante clearly.
"Nergigante, you..."
Su Yi spoke up, trying to find out Nergigante's attitude.
"Ow!"
Unexpectedly, the Nergigante let out an impatient roar, interrupting Su Yi's words. Then it slammed its paw on the ground in front of him, expressing its impatience: Why are you taking so long?! I'm starving!
……
Outside the cave entrance, Nergigante was devouring chunks of meat mixed with specially made energy cubes.
Su Yi and Toothless sat to the side watching.
“Aga…”
Toothless turned to look at Su Yi, and judging from his eyes, he must have been hungry.
"Give."
Su Yi directly handed it a few energy cubes specifically for Nergigante.
"Aga!"
Toothless chewed happily for a few moments and then swallowed it. Soon after, it showed a satisfied expression.
Su Yi watched as the Nergigante gradually ate its fill, and his expression relaxed slightly.
According to Nergigante, it was drawn to an energy source within Mount Celestial Crown and has been trying to find its origin.
When searching outside, it buried the capture ball in the rubble to prevent other Pokémon from taking it.
"Phew, I scared myself..."
Su Yi patted his chest, secretly relieved.
Although his bond with Nergigante wasn't deep, Su Yi would be very sad if he tried to get rid of him completely as soon as they parted.
"Ow..."
The Nergigante lazily picked at its teeth with its claws and gave its assessment: Average.
"Acting like a big shot..."
Su Yi sighed.
"Ow!"
Nergigante pointed to the Capture Ball at Su Yi's waist.
I'm full, sleepy, and going to bed.
Su Yi: "..."
Okay, it just acts like it's the boss.
……
With the matter at Tianguan Mountain temporarily resolved, Su Yi returned to Zhuqing Village without stopping.
"Hmm...has the situation gotten that serious?"
Xingyue frowned after listening to Su Yi's report.
"In other words, the most urgent task is to collect the eighteen stone tablets and then create an item that can bind Dialga..."
Xingyue rubbed her temples and said, "Just do it. Team Galaxy will provide you with all the support they can."
Su Yi thought for a moment and asked, "There's something I'd like to ask you. Do you know anyone named Wu Si?"
……
Besides the legendary stone tablets that Arceus himself possesses, among the remaining eighteen stone tablets, the ones that Su Yi has not yet obtained are: Earth, Rock, Monster, Emerald, Magic, Dragon, Evil Face, Fairy, and the Clear Sky Stone Tablet.
To speed things up, Su Yi set off immediately the next day.
The Earth Slab and the Magic Slab are located with the Moon Bear and the Mysterious Horned Deer, respectively.
Because of the series of things Su Yi had done before, Ami from the King Kong team and Xi Pu from the Pearl team were both happy to communicate with the Spectral Deer and the Moon Bear, and eventually handed over the two stone tablets to Su Yi.
Meanwhile, Su Yi visited the Vajra settlement and learned the approximate location of Wu Si from Gang Shi.
……
At the junction of the Red Lotus Wetland and the Azure Coast, at the foot of a mountain range extending from Tianguan Mountain, Su Yi found this secluded little courtyard.
As soon as Su Yi got off Da Kong's back, the door of the quaint little house opened.
A noblewoman dressed in a long black dress and a wide-brimmed hat walked gracefully out of the house.
"Time-lost one, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Wu Si immediately revealed Su Yi's identity.
But Su Yi wasn't surprised at all; this enigmatic woman might have some connection to Arceus.
"Then you must understand why I'm here. I want the Fairy Stone Tablet and information about the Land Cloud."
Su Yi didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Wu Si smiled and said, "You're a decisive person. Come in."
Stepping into Wusi's little house, it was clean, tidy, and unpretentious, which was somewhat incongruous with her understated yet luxurious attire.
"Here..."
Wu Si walked to the kitchen counter and handed a pink stone slab to Su Yi.
Su Yi's lips twitched. So you really do use the fairy stone slab as a cutting board.
Does this stone slab provide some kind of bonus to food?
To be fair, some Fairy-type Pokémon are related to food; I wonder if there's any connection between them.
Just as Su Yi was about to reach for the fairy stone tablet, Wu Si suddenly pulled her hand back.
Wu Si laughed and said, "If you take it, what will happen to my cutting board? Don't you have to give me a new one?"
Su Yi pursed his lips, immediately took out a new cutting board from his [items], and placed it on the kitchen counter with a thud.
"Look, this is a cutting board, made of solid wood, using futuristic technology."
Su Yi tapped the cutting board, making a deep, resonant sound.
Wu Si covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is this the chopping board from hundreds of years later? It looks pretty good."
"I was originally planning to have you gather the wood to make it, but I didn't expect you to have already made preparations. Could it be that you can foresee the future?"
Faced with Wu Si's probing gaze, Su Yi shrugged and said seriously, "I'm a chef, so it's normal for me to carry a cleaver and cutting board with me, right?"
Hearing Su Yi's explanation, Wu Si smiled and said, "Alright, here you go with the Fairy Stone Tablet. You should know what the rest of the stone tablets are all about, right?"
"As for the Land Cloud, well... it seems you've already captured its two brothers."
"Then after tomorrow's heavy rain, go to the Obsidian Plains to look for the Land Cloud."
Su Yi kept this in mind, and as he turned to leave, he turned back and asked, "Do you think the changes I've made will affect the future?"
Wu Si smiled and said, "The future is determined by the past. For you, this is the past, but for the world, your experience here is your present and future."
