Ash's Story (Part 6: Unova)

Chapter 46

Back at Undella Town, we decide to go to Route 14, and when we continue moving, we find the Abundant Shrine in front of us. Golly asks, "So what is special about this place?"

"The land surrounding the actual shrine is a field of mounds of soil and a few bodies of water, this is the shrine where Landorus is resting." I say. Then we find some trainers and one says, "So you know what Landorus is like when it means business, huh?"

"Yeah! I do! It changes into another Forme and flies around the sky! Tornadus and Thundurus change Formes, too!... Well, that's the story, anyway."

"That's good, then!... You know, I've only heard about it in stories, too."

After two children leave, a person comes and says, "This little shrine is dedicated to a Pokemon called Landorus. They say that when Tornadus and Thundurus were whipping up storms that damaged houses and fields all over the Unova region, Landorus made them stop. That's a story from when my grandpa was just a little kid!"

Since we all know the story, so we decide to bring Landorus to the shrine, and an old man is standing there. "Wow! Wow! What an awesome Trainer! That Pokemon you're traveling with is Landorus in Therian Forme! A long, long ago. Tornadus and Thundurus started a rampage in Therian Forme. When everybody thought the Unova region would be ruined and gave up hope, Landorus, also in Therian Forme, appeared out of nowhere and stopped them. That's what they say."

Then he turns to the shrine and says, "Oh! Hey! Wait a second." And much to our surprise, he takes the Reveal Glass to us. "This has been placed in the shrine. Take this."

"The Reveal Glass?" We gasp in surprise.

"They say the Reveal Glass brings Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus back to their original appearance. However, I don't know whether Incarnate Forme or Therian Forme is the true Forme."

Once the man leaves, Cilan says, "To think that the item that Team Rocket tried to control... there was another one in the Abundance Shrine..."

"Yeah, but I don't think we need Meloetta to activate it though." I say.

We arrive at White Forest first, and this forest has some stands and some houses to explore. We decide to head to the White Treehollow where Benga challenges me to a battle there.

"So this is the White Treehollow... Iris, do you know the rules?" Eve asks.

"Yeah. There are 10 areas and you'll have to fight your way through until you find the Boss Trainer. After defeating the Boss Trainer, you can advance to the next area."

"I see... this is actually similar to Battle Pyramid in some way..." I mutter.

When I ask for the challenge, I decide to start with Area 1. I can't use any items or switch Pokemon because we're underground, so I have to be careful not to tire our Pokemon too much.

The trainers here are giving me hints to find the Boss Trainer, and there are some who give us hints that there is a Gate trainer who guards the gate leading to the Boss. This sure is confusing, but fortunately, they are easy to recognize. There are also doctors and nurses who can heal our Pokemon, but that's after we battle them first.

It's also a good thing that after completing one area, we can just leave and then return to the next area. After we completed Area 10, Benga is the Boss Trainer and he says, "Back in Grampa Alder's house. We promised, remember? We're gonna compete with each other. And see who's stronger!"

The three Pokemon he uses are Latias, Dragonite, and Volcarona. I am surprised that this guy has a Latias in his team, so I can't hold back and use my Legendary Pokemon Kyurem in its White Form to defeat all three of them.
