"I'll take a look first."
Roy accompanied Professor Oak into the ruins again.
Officer Jenny, who was guarding the entrance, looked utterly bewildered as Roy entered the ruins with Professor Oak.
Rumor had it that Professor Oak had a grandson. Could this be him?
Good thing I didn't meddle in Professor Oak's family affairs just now.
After entering the stone chamber inside the ruins, Professor Oak did not head straight up to the altar to examine the Golurk. Instead, he looked at the bodies around the altar and even walked right up to them.
Before long, Professor Oak spotted an ancient-looking ring on a finger of one of the skeletons.
Finding the ring somewhat familiar, Professor Oak removed it from the skeleton. The moment he took it off, the entire skeleton fell apart, scattering white bones across the floor.
Professor Oak paid it no mind. Instead, he explained to Roy that it was a storage item made by ancient humans, similar to a Spatial Bracelet, though its usable space was far smaller than that of a modern Spatial Bracelet.
"An Ancient Space Ring like this isn't easy to unlock. One careless move can trigger the destruction mechanism inside."
Hard to open?
Wasn't this exactly my specialty? Roy thought.
He snatched the Spatial Ring from Professor Oak's hand.
Before Professor Oak could even make out what had flashed past his eyes and taken the ring, Roy had already activated his Ghost Power and shattered the restrictive energy sealing it.
"All done, Professor."
"Huh?"
He'd unlocked it?
Professor Oak scrutinized Roy, who had handled it with remarkable ease, but this was not the time to dwell on that.
Professor Oak activated the Spatial Ring and took out a yellow bundle.
When he opened the bundle, he found two unusual Poké Balls inside.
