Deep Blue Inscription

"Hmph! Forget it, there's no need to bother with these clowns. We'll deal with them after we get the treasure."

The High Priest snorted coldly, then said to the two men holding Tomoya captive, "Send this man to scout ahead."

"Sacrifice your lord?"

One of the men seemed a little confused. "He's still unconscious?"

The other man reacted quickly, using a Fighting techniques to throw Tomoya to the Ground-type. "Kid! So you were awake all along!"

"Snort!"

Seeing that there was no other way, Tomoya stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

He was also waiting for the right moment to reclaim his Poké Ball.

Tomoya looked at the silver box, wondering what it was that could prevent Pokémon from coming out of their Poké Ball.

"Run!"

The man who had just carried him was furious and shoved him hard.

The High Priest watched this scene coldly. A child is just a child. Did he think he was a villain from a TV drama? This is reality.

The man carrying the silver box adjusted his glasses, still wearing a smile.

Once they entered the Conquest Road, a similar metal gate sealed them off.

Dian looked at the long staircase before him. This passage was narrower than he had imagined. He had already retracted the Beedrill because it simply couldn't fit inside.

Even he has to walk with his body slightly turned to the side.

"Dream..."

The Misdreavus looked displeased because strange patterns were carved all around her, making her very uncomfortable.

As he walked, he memorized the patterns that appeared around him, for these were part of Napolant Legacy — Incantations.

Although he doesn't yet know their purpose, that doesn't stop him from writing them all down.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The Zubat suddenly let out a sharp Growl and then flew forward quickly.

Dian was overjoyed; it seemed he could finally escape from here.

He quickly followed, and soon they arrived at a circular cave garden.

The cave ceiling was covered with unidentified Rock Head that emitted White Light, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.

A small Pond, in the very center of which stands a stone sculpture in the shape of a Hippopotas wearing a crown, from which clear water flows.

The area around it was covered with Little Flower, light blue flowers. The strangest thing was that there was a well-maintained courtyard in the very center of the cave, which was simply furnished with a Swing and a stone platform.

For a moment, Dian was somewhat confused, wondering what was going on.

"Dream!"

The Misdreavus flew around happily; compared to the darkness of the cave, this azure courtyard was far more beautiful.

Only the Zubat seemed unaccustomed to such bright light and hid behind him.

Dian breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly walked to the side and sat up, preparing to eat something first.

For now, he seems safe, but things could change in a little while.

"Come out, Skiploom, Beedrill."

After releasing the Beedrill and Skiploom, Dian got up and began preparing their food.

As for the stone platform next to him, he didn't dare to approach it, because the things placed on it looked quite valuable, so it was best not to touch them for the time being.

The entire stone platform is white, and a blue spherical pendant is placed on it.

It's described as blue, but the pendant's string is actually red.

At first, Dian thought it was some kind of precious Poké Ball, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't, because the blue sphere was only the size of a glass marble, and its overall shape was flawless, making it appear to be some kind of gemstone.

Dian slowly walked to the Ground-type in the courtyard, spread out a tablecloth, and prepared to replenish his energy.

"Hana~"

Skiploom happily rubbed against the light blue Little Flower, and then, seeing the prince coming over, it immediately bit the tablecloth and started setting things up for him. That's what you call thoughtful!

The Beedrill remained vigilant as always, while the Zubat had already begun eating impatiently, paying no heed to anything else.

As for Misdreavus Demon, she carried her food around, flying about and satisfying her curiosity as she ate.

However, none of them noticed that there was no wind inside the cave, yet the Swing in the courtyard started moving on its own.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, carrying the little blue Little Flower into the sky.

For a time, the entire cave Levitate with these light blue Little Flower, their delicate fragrance soothing the spirits of the temple.

Looking at this beautiful, picturesque scene, he suddenly felt extremely satisfied even if he Harvest nothing this time.

Hmm, let's get some seeds later and make some specimens to take with us.

Suddenly, Dian's eyes narrowed, as if the aquamarine light before him was about to seep into his body and soul.

His consciousness gradually faded, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a huge city surrounded by the sea.

The warm sunlight, the scent of the Sea Breeze, and the crowd of survivors; finally, the Noble Boy bowing his head and weeping, his heart filled with resentment and hatred.

Soon, the scene shifted, and a magnificent palace appeared.

The middle-aged man in an elegant suit asked the boy with a look of surprise, "What did you say? Lester, say it again?"

The boy's face remained calm. "Father, I've thought it through. I want to become the King of Napolant, the True King conquers and protects all."

"Good! Good! Good! This is how the heir to my Napolant Kingdom should be."

The king laughed heartily, but he was unaware of the True King his successor meant.

Until one day, the sea roared and the sky was full of cracks, but with a beam of light, everything returned to calm.

"The Napolant Stone has reached its limit again."

The High Priest said, "True King Lester, what is your choice?"

"Is that even a question, my dearest friend Orlando? It's time to atone for our sins. I, Lester, will bear it all and deliver true protection."

Lester, with his back to Orlando, stared at the golden shield and sword before him. "As the King of Napolant, I should protect not this sinful city, but all my subjects. Sword of Royal Authority, you will aid me."

"Ouch!"

The shield and sword that were originally hanging on the wall suddenly started making a sound.

"Lester, you are the true king."

Orlando knew the resolve his former best friend, now the King of Napolant, had made. "Rest assured," he said, "I will carry out your will and grant it true protection and freedom."

"Orlando, let's get started, please!"

Lester suddenly turned around, a broad smile spreading across his face. "I've waited far too long for this day. The time has finally come to atone for my sins and be completely free. Let this endless cycle end today, and the sins of my Napolant will be buried forever."

After saying that, he reached for the Sword of Royal Authority and shattered the Mysterious Orb on the Altar into pieces. Then he tossed the Sword of Royal Authority over, saying, "The rest is up to you, Orlando!"

"Lester..."

Orlando took one last look at his dear friend, then accepted the Sword of Royal Authority and quickly left.
