After handing the Silver Powder to Natsuhiko, the Wormadam Leader also turned around and joined the army feasting on Energy Blocks.
"Oss~~"
Latios slowly appeared, curiously looking at the items in Natsuhiko's hands.
"Don't disturb the Wormadams eating; let's go."
Natsuhiko waved, leading his three Pokémon to the cave where he once captured Snorlax.
Traces of Snorlax having gnawed away three layers of soil in the cave were still preserved.
They arrived at the innermost part of the cave.
The special pattern on the cave wall remained unchanged.
The key to entering the Casual Ruins was this picture with only a few raised points.
Natsuhiko threw out a Pokeball.
"Hudi!"
Alakazam appeared.
Although he knew how to enter the Casual Ruins in the game, this world was vastly different from the game.
Intelligence-testing matters were what Alakazam was most adept at.
"Alakazam, see if you can find a way."
"Hudi!"
Alakazam nodded, furrowed his eyebrows, and walked forward to observe the pattern carefully.
"Gaw-gay?" Chimchar hesitated a bit because it completely couldn't understand the upper pattern.
'Will it be okay?'
"Chakowii!" Togekiss's eyes widened.
'What do you mean by "okay"? Remove the word "okay"! Give the Big Fox three minutes!'
"Oss~~"(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
'Little sister is awesome!'
"Cha~kowii~~"
It's because Togekiss had no hands now, or else there'd surely be a hand-on-hip warning coming.
To be fair, Latios, after ending its infancy, really had grown quite a bit larger than Togekiss, enough to reluctantly be considered a brother.
However.
Under the gaze of the few Pokémon.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
Five minutes.
...
Half an hour later.
"Hudi!" Alakazam was enraged!
'Damn it!'
He raised the Spoon, and two balls of psychic power quickly condensed on the Spoon.
Originally, he was doing okay, but Togekiss praised him too much, and the three little ones just kept staring at him, preventing him from concentrating.
Exasperated and ashamed.
"Wait."
At this moment, Natsuhiko, who had been silently observing, stopped Alakazam's action.
"Hoo—di—" Alakazam took a deep breath, Natsuhiko's voice brought him back to sanity, taking deep breaths to calm his inner turmoil.
He cast an extremely serene glance at Togekiss behind him.
Togekiss suddenly got a chill.
Whistling and looked up.
"Chakowii~~"(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
'Today's weather is really nice, ha~haha~hahaha~'
"Oss?" Latios looked up at the solid cave ceiling.
'Eh?'๑乛◡乛๑
Natsuhiko ignored the little ones' antics, walked to Alakazam's side.
Reached out and gently pinched.
Through instant merging, his psychic powers fused with Alakazam's.
A thread of psychic power separated from an impending attack by Alakazam and gently entwined around a raised point on the cave wall.
Then saw that the raised point gradually emitted a faint halo.
Natsuhiko nodded thoughtfully.
As expected.
He hadn't found any clue before.
But just when Alakazam was furious and attempted to blast the wall, the psychic powers he released triggered subtle changes in the wall.
Natsuhiko wasn't swayed by the little ones' words and noticed this.
But Alakazam had already demonstrated psychic powers here before.
Why wasn't it affected then?
Perhaps it was due to the quality of psychic powers, maybe the power of stone tablets, or perhaps the awakening of the Dream Gene.
But overall.
They found the method.
Enclose all raised points with psychic power threads.
Rumble—
Accompanied by boulders roaring, the raised points on the cave wall began to move slowly.
Gradually forming several special characters.
And these characters formed… Unown!
Suddenly.
The mural in front of them was slowly twisted, spiraled, squirmed like a vortex.
Then an eye peeked out from this vortex.
One might not wholly call it an eye, as thick black lines encircled it, forming the shape of an English letter — the letter "D"!
"Unown!"
But quickly, the Unown disappeared into the vortex.
Natsuhiko and Alakazam exchanged glances.
Ultimately deciding.
To go inside and take a look!
