Chapter 403: Bottom of the Sword of the Vale - New Plate
Druddigon's head kept approaching, finally stopping half a meter away from Kaoru.
Kaoru looked at his eyes full of wisdom.
Don't know why.
Suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Was not afraid of Druddigon at once.
Kaoru even actively reached out her hand to stroke Druddigon's face.
Seeing this.
Everyone relaxed one after another.
This is a good start.
Even Kyle, who just arrived nearby and dared not breathe loudly, took steps again, coming towards here.
"Congratulations Senior Kaoru, tamed a powerful Pokémon."
"Hm? Hehe, this is Cynthia's Pokémon."
Kaoru turned to look at him, smiling helplessly.
"Eh?"
Kyle was shocked.
But soon came back to his senses.
Although quite incredible, a weak trainer catching a powerful Pokémon is not incomprehensible.
After all, the way to catch Pokémon is not only defeating them.
Can also go the way of winning hearts.
In Kyle's view, Cynthia captured the favor of this Totem Druddigon by exerting her personal charm.
Can be called remarkable.
The 12-year-old daughter, in terms of the highest combat power in the team, surpassed her League Chief mother.
"Let's sit inside first; I still have to communicate feelings with this child."
Kaoru didn't say much, pointing inside the house.
Regarding Cynthia and Will having contact with those Legendary Pokémon.
She doesn't intend to tell anyone.
Carolina also thinks so.
"Let's go."
Carolina glanced at the situation, felt no problem, leading Kyle into the house.
"Hello, Druddigon, I am Kaoru, Cynthia's mother; heard you are Riolu's good friend?"
"Roar~"
Druddigon grinned, nodding.
"Emmm, do you have anything you like to do or are good at doing?"
Kaoru decided to understand Druddigon's preferences first.
"...Roar."
Druddigon paused, turning his head to look around.
Soon he selected a target.
In front of Kaoru and her two Pokémon, he ate the bushes on the ground in one bite.
After eating, looked at Kaoru and others proudly.
?
As a Druddigon.
To some extent, this can also be considered a unique skill.
At least other Druddigon definitely won't eat grass.
Kaoru held her chin, convincing herself like this in her heart.
Eindoak Town.
Today is the day of the battle.
Will told Cynthia, then ran away by himself.
Just as planned before.
He doesn't plan to participate in this event, but to go to the bottom of the Sword of the Vale to see what exactly is there.
Came to the back of the Sword of the Vale.
Will didn't even look; a water jet erupted under his feet, he flew up directly.
Then drilled into an open window on the second floor.
Entered the castle.
Internal structure has no change compared to a thousand years ago.
Just the decorations in the whole corridor changed a batch.
"Are they all out?"
Will looked at both sides of the corridor.
In his Aura perception.
Except for himself and Victini, there is no life aura in this castle.
Actually didn't even set up a guard.
This generation of People of the Vale patriarch really has a big heart.
Will is too familiar with the internal terrain of the Sword of the Vale.
Only took five minutes.
He had already entered the part below the surface.
The length of this underground part occupies two-thirds of the entire Sword of the Vale.
Inside are crisscrossed purple crystal roads.
To reach the bottom, need to go down little by little along these roads.
Walking on foot.
It would take at least half an hour to reach the bottom.
So.
Will hugged Victini and flew down directly.
Snap.
Landed.
The very bottom is also a purple crystal ground.
Will doesn't know what this purple crystal is either, just has a guess.
Sword of the Vale.
From the whole perspective, it is actually a huge aircraft.
And these purple crystals might be structures similar to circuits, used to conduct energy, enabling the Sword of the Vale to fly in the air.
"Tini."
Victini suddenly raised his hand pointing to the darkness ahead.
Will turned to look, seeing nothing.
This place is too dark.
He could only sense a majestic Aura there.
This special Aura made Will feel somewhat familiar, seemed to have felt it somewhere before.
"Victini, light some fire."
"Tini."
Victini nodded, clapping hands.
Snap~
Flames instantly ignited on Victini's two small hands, illuminating this area.
Only at this time did Will see clearly what was in the open space ahead.
From left to right, sequentially are...
Sword of the Vale, Scepter of the Vale, Blade of the Ruined King.
Three symbols of kingship a thousand years ago.
Also the "exclusive weapons" of the King of the Vale, State Preceptor, and Ruined King.
Actually all inserted at the very bottom of this Sword of the Vale.
Undoubtedly.
Must be done by Rami.
After the war a thousand years ago ended, these three items should have all fallen into Rami's hands.
Speaking of which.
After knowing the location of these three items.
Will suspects the story of "Hero of Truth and Two Swords" told by Carlita came true.
According to the content expressed in the movie.
The underground part of the Sword of the Vale is the same as the third, fourth and fifth floors of Dragonspiral Tower.
Belongs to [Selective Maze].
Dragonspiral Tower, only Heroes of Truth or Ideals recognized by Black and White Dragons can cross the maze to reach the top.
And the underground part of the Sword of the Vale.
Seems so now.
Just don't know whether need recognition from one of the Black and White Dragons, or recognition from one of these three items.
Will tends to favor the former.
But doesn't rule out the possibility of the latter.
After all, although the Pokémon world is not a fantasy world, there are no sword spirits or the like.
But the situation where inanimate objects develop consciousness does exist.
Like dolls developing consciousness becoming Banette, coffins developing consciousness becoming Cofagrigus...
And.
Ancient swords inhabited by the souls of the deceased, thus becoming Honedge.
If these three items really developed self-consciousness, maybe they can really choose recognized people autonomously.
If this guess holds true.
Then Will thinks.
He is mostly recognized by the Scepter of the Vale.
After all, anyway, he was also the owner of the Scepter of the Vale, carrying the Earth Core on his body.
"That is..."
Will suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw at the forefront of the Scepter of the Vale, where the Earth Core should have been placed, actually stuck a rectangular block.
"Plate?!"
Will widened his eyes, recognizing what the rectangular block was.
The majestic Aura he sensed just now was emitted by this Plate.
Will ran over hurriedly without saying a word.
"Tini?"
Victini tilted his head doubtfully.
He doesn't know what a Plate is.
So can't understand how excited Will is at this moment.
That is a Plate.
After obtaining it, not only increases the power of moves of the corresponding Plate type, most importantly can directly immune damage caused by this type!
"Please don't be Dread Plate or Splash Plate."
Will muttered, praying secretly.
He has two Plates now.
Corresponding to Dark type and Water type respectively.
But these two Plates came from another Pokémon world.
That is to say.
In this world, Dread Plate and Splash Plate still exist.
If the Plate stuck on the Scepter of the Vale at this moment is one of them, then Will really rejoices in vain.
Because these two Plates have no effect on him.
At most carry them on body to give to trusted partners later.
"If it's Fist Plate, that would be best."
Will approached, extending his hand to that Plate.
Space dim.
Also Victini's fire interfering with vision,
So he can't judge the true color of this Plate easily.
Picking it up and looking with the panel is the most intuitive and clear identification method.
Suddenly.
Will frowned tightly.
He found he couldn't pull out this Plate.
The Plate was stuck tightly by the Scepter of the Vale.
Will withdrew his hand, holding his chin thinking for a while.
Then he reached out to the Scepter of the Vale.
Pull.
Still can't pull out.
The next moment.
A khaki gem appeared in Will's palm—Earth Core.
He touched the Scepter of the Vale with the Earth Core.
In an instant, a powerful suction force erupted on the Scepter of the Vale, sucking the Earth Core to where it should stay like a magnet.
Pop!
The Plate was squeezed out, falling on the ground.
The Scepter of the Vale found its original match, no longer needing the substitute Plate.
Poor Plate.
Toyed with by the Scepter of the Vale.
"By the way, being treated as a substitute for the Earth Core by the scepter, could it be..."
Will ignored this scumbag scepter.
He reached out hurriedly to pick up the Plate, confirming the guess in his heart.
"Great! Hahahaha!"
Will grinned and laughed, startling Victini beside him.
Not Fist Plate.
But not Dread Plate or Splash Plate either.
[Earth Plate]
Plate corresponding to Ground type.
This is certainly worth Will's surprise!
For Will in this life.
The Plate he needs most is undoubtedly Fighting, followed by Ground and Fire.
This has to mention Will's evolution form, Lucario.
Lucario is a Pokémon with Fighting and Steel dual types.
They have resistance to fully 9 types; counting the Splash Plate carried by Will himself, that is 10.
And only 3 types can counter Lucario.
Precisely Fighting, Ground, Fire.
Fist Plate is best.
Because it can strengthen Will's STAB Fighting moves, and he has the most Fighting skills in his move pool, plus Fighting counters him after evolution.
But Ground and Fire are also very good.
This way, the types Will needs to be wary of in the future are only two.
Among them, most Fighting moves are close combat attacks.
For Will possessing Aura Power, wanting to hit him with Fighting moves is not low in difficulty.
So.
Getting this Earth Plate, the enhancement to Will is unparalleled.
Even if.
In the Lucario line, only four moves can be strengthened by this Plate (Bone Rush, Bulldoze, Dig, Earthquake).
But strengthening 20% power is the secondary effect of the Plate itself.
Immunity to damage of a certain type is the big head.
Ground type is the type with the strongest destructiveness and widest coverage.
