"Lisia, my Chansey said there was something carved into that stone platform over there."
"Huh!" Startled, Lisia crossed the wooden bridge and waded straight toward the other side through water above her knees.
Shen Qi had checked earlier. Small colonies of microorganisms had grown on the ordinary timber submerged in the water, indicating that the wooden bridge had not just been put up, though it had not been there all that long either.
The water churned over the stone platform, preventing Lisia from seeing the writing beneath it clearly. She felt the lines and grooves with her hands, deciphering a few strokes, and soon recognized it as the ancient ritual script of the Hoenn Region.
"I found it! I really found it!"
Excited, Lisia summoned Slowpoke and used Surf, creating a moving magic circle on the water that people could ride.
As the move took effect, the water within its range seemed to be pressed down by an air cushion. The water level dropped a little, and the surface grew calmer.
With the help of Slowpoke's move, Lisia read the ritual script.
The strokes followed the proper, orthodox traditions passed down through the generations. Even with a little silt filling parts of the carvings, their meticulous heritage was unmistakable.
[The falling star of a thousand years crashes down, sounding the notes of the world's end]
[Offer the power of bloodline and meteorite, and pray to sever the interlude of recurrence]
Lisia murmured the ritual script carved into the submerged stone platform, growing increasingly astonished.
The text seemed to describe a natural catastrophe, and the △ mentioned within it represented Rayquaza...
Other than the People of the Sea of Origin, what tribe could pray to summon Rayquaza to dispel a calamity?
Had this been another region, Lisia would have found it
