Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 315 Undersea Monuments, The Thickness of Civilization (55)

Lai had a hunch that this scene would be the last.

This is a city by the sea, with all the facilities just like what Rai had seen before, but they are much larger than what the ruins show.

In the center of the city, a curtain of light rose.

Energy from the ocean and the earth is continuously emitted upward along the city center, repairing the light curtain that flickers during the attack.

This time, the one who launched the attack was Kyurem, the last of the three dragons of the Way.

The woman at this time may have entered middle age, and her daughter has grown into a slim figure.

At this moment, she said goodbye to her mother with firm eyes.

"Mother, I am also a trainer. You participated in the construction of the Heart of the Vast Sea, and my father died in the battle outside the city. I will do what my parents did."

The woman's vision became blurry, but she could not say any words of rejection.

As she watched, her daughter walked out of the room and climbed into the sky on a flying dragon.

Along with her, there were trainers from all over the city.

They broke out of the barrier and engaged Kyurem.

At this time, following the woman's gaze, Lai saw that it was not the only one launching the attack.

Reshiram and Zekrom are advancing from opposite ends.

Numerous trainers have come forward one after another. The strong ones are at the level of champions, while the weak ones may not be as good as Lai at the beginning of the year.

The fierce battle bought them time to repair the barrier.

But it just gained time.

I don't know if it is one day, two days, one month, two months, or one year, two years.

Finally, the coastal city, the last beacon of civilization, came to an end as the barrier was broken.

In the end, when the three giant dragons were heading towards the center of the town.

Violent explosions occurred simultaneously around the city.

The three peripheral facilities that served as pillars of the barrier self-destructed at the same time, leaving only the central hub.

In the powerful energy tide, the three giant dragons fell to the ground helplessly, covered in black smoke. Only the most powerful Kyurem managed to get up and lift off.

In a fury, powerful attacks swept through the city.

At the end of the picture, the woman is holding the ball in her hand tightly.

The earth began to collapse, and even the plates collapsed in the final collision and explosion.

The sea flooded into the house, extinguishing the distant flames and the last lights of a once thriving civilization.

······
"Witness of destruction?"

The power of the heart opens up a space and protects this residence within it.

The sea water is also discharged under the urging of consumption.

With his feet on the ground, stepping on the end of the life of the woman whose entire life he had witnessed, Lai felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

To be fair, the destruction of such a civilization is not surprising.

As early as a woman's childhood, it exudes the atmosphere of dusk everywhere.

The sky is dim, the vegetation is sparse, and outside the developed cities, traces of life have been driven to the edge of the world.

By her youth, this civilization seemed to have reached its peak from a combat perspective. Even when facing multiple first-level gods, it was strong enough to fight head-on, and even avoid defeat on certain occasions.

The power of technology allows them to transcend the limitations of individual combat power and have the ability to control parts of nature.

But this is still not enough. Facing the powerful gods and the authority they have in this world, such resistance is still temporary and pale.These are the lights held up by heroic individuals or groups on the road from dusk to eternal night.

But even so, Lai also saw the tenacity that belongs to the end of a civilization. Although it is not flattering, it also has a moving side.

As the last witness to the end, women are the resisters of the times and society in the old era. They are also the unwavering defenders who fight to the end in their own way when this era is about to perish.

A small metal ball contains the final journey of a civilization that was nothing in the hearts of gods with eternal lifespan. It was once glorious but was eventually destroyed.

Regarding this world, the continent of Hoenn or other regions, it is undeniable that Rai always has a certain arrogance in his heart.

Faced with all the chaos and inefficient and complicated alliances in Hoenn, he always kept a certain distance from it based on his inner rejection and disgust.

But at this moment, he gradually realized the narrowness of this arrogance itself.

My own knowledge comes from another world and another system of thought.

Whether it is the Slow King in the fragmented world or the heavy world carried by the metal ball in his hand at this moment, they have not developed to that point, but they have also blazed their own path.

Some are successful and some are failures.

Some can still leave traces after failure, while others have been washed away by the long river of time without any trace.

Looking at them is like looking into a mirror of the world and civilization that Lai lives in.

Time is fair to all individuals and groups.

Destruction and rebirth, this is an eternal topic.

The history of the development and demise of civilizations on many continents is like a script of trial and error again and again.

In Sinnoh and Unova, such stories have been passed down intact.

In other areas, there are even more stories that have not been spread. A few have left only a few words, and some have completely disappeared without a trace.

In just a few years, the crisis belonging to this generation of civilization will come.

The decisive battle between Groudon and Kyogre, the collision between the God of the Sky and the meteorite from the sky.

The time and space duel between the Sinnoh twin dragons reverses the anger of Giratina in the world.

All of these are different.

More importantly, there may be a crisis of annihilation from Arceus, who has the power to create.

In the face of such a crisis, and with heroes constantly emerging, my arrogance may not be justified.

There are many problems in this world, especially in the two continents of Hoenn and Kanto, but they are not unsolvable.

People with abilities also have greater responsibilities and missions. This has been engraved in his heart from the moment he was at the bottom of his hometown.

Compared to the heroes who have truly solved those big problems, I may still be insignificant, but there are things I can do.

At least, Lai is not willing to really become the ultimate witness of a certain civilization.

The girl, girl and woman who he watched grow up, but reached the end of her life in powerlessness.

Holding the metal ball in his hand with great care, Lai seemed to be able to feel the infinite weight inside it.

Although, with the last release, after spending countless years on the seabed, it has exhausted its final energy and structural strength, and has truly become a mediocre metal ball.

"The end of civilization, the final destination is oblivion."

"Licolis, at least at this moment, I still remember you, and I will always remember you as the source of strength for me to move forward."

Looking ahead, he seemed to see the girl spending leisure time with several Pokémon on the lawn of the courtyard again.

Under the dim sunlight, her figure was so real and glorious.

······
When Lai set off again, there was a small metal bracelet on his left wrist, with a silver-white metal ball in the middle.
