Ash is only eight years old, how can it not be early?
Realizing that her enthusiasm was making Serena a little embarrassed, Delia stopped talking and instead kept piling food into Serena's bento box from the small food cart until the food was almost piled up above Serena herself.
I'm using an anime-style serving dish!
Roy estimated that even ten Serenas couldn't finish this much food.
But when Delia learned that Serena was from the Kalos Region, she hesitated. What would she do if Ash went to the Kalos Region with her?
Ash, who knew nothing, looked at Misdreavus floating in the air with curiosity. Not knowing what Misdreavus liked to eat, he took a large chicken leg from his bento box and held it to Misdreavus's mouth.
"Misdreavus, this was made by my mom, it's delicious."
He only learned from Gary that this wingless Pokémon that could Levitate in the sky was called Misdreavus.
Misdreavus naturally looked down on the brat's chicken leg; she would never eat such a thing, and simply turned her head away, refusing to look at Ash.
Ash felt a little disappointed when he saw that Misdreavus wouldn't eat it.
Before he could put the chicken leg down, he felt his hand go empty. Looking down, he saw the chicken leg was already in Roy's mouth.
Roy took the big chicken leg from Ash's hand and ate it, praising Delia's cooking skills as he ate, making Delia beam with joy.
Ash knew that he would really be getting another uncle from now on.
As Roy was leaving, he patted Ash on the shoulder and told him that not all Pokémon like to eat human food.
Afternoon
Professor Oak returned to his lab looking dejected. This time, he had indeed discovered a Ruins in the mountains not far from Pallet Town, the first time he had found Ruins so close to his lab.
Why wasn't this discovered before?
In the Ruins he and the mountaineer explored, they found only fragments of a few ceramic jars. It seemed he was too late; everything inside had already been taken away.
The only real Harvest was a picture I took inside the Ruins.
Three Pokémon are carved on the walls of the Ruins; judging from their appearance, they are Alakazam, Gengar, and Jigglypuff.
But why carve these three Pokémon?
Furthermore, each of these three Pokémon has a large bell, Golden spoon, and three spherical objects on its head that are either stones or something else entirely.
Because the inscription was so ancient, he consulted a scholar in the Kanto Region who specializes in Pokémon history. The scholar roughly determined that the content of the mural was related to some kind of seal.
As for the detailed information on the murals, the other party is currently working on deciphering it.
Professor Oak picked up his research magnifying glass and carefully examined the three Pokémon in the picture. Suddenly, he noticed some unidentifiable patterns on Alakazam's body. Was it a carving error, or...?
Unsure, Professor Oak looked at Gengar and Jigglypuff beside him and noticed that they also had the same pattern on their bodies.
Hmm?... Gengar?
Professor Oak suddenly remembered the oversized Gengar that Roy had shown him that morning. The Gengar also had markings on its body. He recalled that Roy had told him that he had caught it last night, and that the Ruins were discovered this morning.
Could it be that...?
A single thread connected the chaotic clues in Professor Oak's mind.
Professor Oak got up, intending to go find Roy, when he saw the main entrance to the research facility being pushed open.
"Doctor, it's time to eat."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
The person who came in was Roy.
Roy was still holding Delia lunchbox that Hanako had left for Professor Oak at noon, and he placed it directly on the professor's work desk.
Professor Oak had no appetite for food right now. He quickly pulled Roy aside to take another look at the other person's Gengar and confirm whether it was the same as the one in the picture.
"Roy, let me see your Gengar again!"
Seeing this, Roy summoned the Ancient Gengar from the shadows again.
As soon as the XXXL-sized, purple-tattooed fat man emerged, his gaze involuntarily swept over the equipment in the research institute. It could be said that everything he had seen since leaving the Ruins was new and exciting to him.
Professor Oak eagerly took the picture and Gengar it to Roy's XXXL Gengar. To his surprise, he found that the pattern on Roy's Gengar was exactly the same as the one in the picture.
That means the Gengar that Roy captured is the same one on the Ruins wall.
After learning the truth, Professor Oak hesitated for a moment before finally asking:
Roy, your Gengar isn't...
"Yes, I was just about to tell you this morning when you ran out."
Professor Oak hadn't even finished asking Roy the question before he gave the answer.
It really was Roy who subdued it in the Ruins!
"Then... what about the Ruins?"
"I opened the Ruins myself, and everything inside is with me."
Roy took out all the bottles, jars, scrolls, and other items he had salvaged from the Ruins, except for the ancient stone statues and Ancient Gold Coins, from his Spatial Bracelet.
Scattered artifacts were piled up like a small mountain inside the Oak Research Lab.
No wonder there was nothing in the Ruins; it turns out everything was with Roy. I must say, Roy really did a thorough search.
Professor Oak stared at the large clock on his desk, lost in thought.
This clock is exactly the same as the one in the picture he took of the wall of the Ruins.
The bell corresponds to Jigglypuff, meaning that the bell is what unlocks Jigglypuff's seal. The Golden Eye and the Golden Spoon correspond to the Ancient Alakazam.
When Professor Oak asked Roy how he discovered the Ruins, Roy only said that he took Misdreavus there for training, and then Misdreavus used a move to blow up the entrance to the Ruins, accidentally releasing the Ancient Gengar.
The Ancient Gengar, sensing the powerful energy within its own body, shamelessly insisted on following it.
At this point, the Ancient Gengar looked at Roy with disbelief. "Oh right! You didn't send the Nether Dragon Deity to capture me; I followed him willingly!"
Professor Oak's attention was entirely focused on the Golden Eye and the Great Bell that Roy had brought back, and he had no interest in listening to Roy's later feat of capturing the Ancient Gengar.
Aside from the large clock, the Golden Eye, and the Golden Spoon, Roy brought back mostly scrolls and bottles and jars.
However, he wasn't a history researcher, so he could only give the scrolls and such to a friend he knew to see if he could determine which era the Ruins belonged to.
