I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

They continued to travel a considerable distance.

Just then, the trainer who had been scouting ahead returned and ran up to Cui Yangming: "Captain, we've discovered a ruin ahead."

"Ruins?" Cui Yangming looked at him in surprise.

After thinking for a while, Cui Yangming walked to the middle of the group and found Ye Feng.

"Brother Ye, we've discovered some ruins ahead. What do you think?" Cui Yangming asked.

Ye Feng was stunned. There were actually ruins in this secret realm?

If there are ruins in the wild, there will naturally be ruins in secret realms as well. As for where the ruins in secret realms come from, humans have not yet explored the secrets of them.

Ye Feng had also asked the divine beasts, but the secret realm had undergone countless years of evolution and was no longer as completely under their control as it had been at the beginning. The divine beasts did not know where the ruins in the secret realm came from.

However, there is a high probability that there is treasure where there are ruins. The danger is not as high as that of secret realms or the wild, so it is definitely worth going in to explore. Regardless of whether there are any rare resources, most ruins will have some records of the past, legends, or history.

Before the mythical beasts appeared one after another, the humans of this world learned about it through the records in the ruins.

Therefore, one can imagine how many tangible or intangible treasures an unexplored site might contain.

"Want to go take a look?" Ye Feng was a little tempted, but it had been agreed from the beginning that Cui Yangming would make the decisions on matters other than the research topic, so Ye Feng still had to ask for his opinion.

Cui Yangming nodded. He was also very interested in the ruins. Moreover, there were researchers and even a PhD present this time. Compared to these roughnecks who only knew how to fight, they would definitely be able to discover more valuable things.

Without hesitation, Cui Yangming immediately ordered his troops to proceed toward the ruins.

Soon, led by the scout trainer, the group arrived at the location of the ruins.

On the massive mountain wall hangs a stone gate with obvious signs of human carving. At a rough glance, the stone gate is about three stories high.

Having endured the erosion of countless years, the stone gate had long since fallen into ruin, with pieces scattered on the ground.

The reason you can see the traces of human intervention is that there are two statues of Greninja on either side of the door, although they are almost completely destroyed. By the way, do people usually put stone sculptures at the entrance of ruins?

Unfortunately, none of those present had studied the history of elves, so no one could answer the question.

Although the trainers responsible for protection could be considered full-time, they actually didn't go into the ruins very often. In addition, it was rare for different ruins to look alike, so even after looking for a long time, they couldn't figure it out.

After searching the surrounding area for a while, no further discoveries were made.

"Down?"

"Down!"

"go!"

Without much hesitation, everyone unanimously decided to go to the ruins.

However, they couldn't proceed so rashly, so Cui Yangming quickly made arrangements.

First of all, Ye Feng must go down, after all, he is the strongest among the trainees here, and he is the biggest guarantee in case of any danger.

Secondly, as a proper researcher, Ning Xian and Bai Siyu definitely had to be accompanied, and the final choice was naturally Ning Xian.

Finally, including Cui Yangming, there were a total of 3 advanced trainers and 5 intermediate trainers.

The remaining personnel were stationed outside the ruins as support.

Ye Feng deliberately left Articuno on it, so that if a Pokémon attacked, having a near-legendary level of combat power would prevent any accidents from happening.

After the personnel were arranged, everyone entered the ruins.

Similar to several other ruins I've visited before, once you enter the stone gate, there's a long, dark passage leading straight down to the bottom.

"Gardevoir, Flash."

"Raichu, Flash!"

···

As the trainer gave the command, several Pokémon that could flash used their moves, and the passageway suddenly became brightly lit.

"Let's go, be careful." Cui Yangming led the way down the path, and the rest of the people quickly followed.

On the way, Cui Yangming saw Ye Feng looking around leisurely, while the others were cautiously observing their surroundings. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Ye, you seem to have been to quite a few ruins before. You're doing it so easily."

Ye Feng paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright. I've been to a few ruins. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any danger along this stretch of road from the entrance."

"Moreover, apart from ruins like city sites and military fortresses, other ruins don't usually have traps or mechanisms. From my current observation, this place doesn't seem to be one of those ruins."

Ye Feng's visits to historical sites weren't in vain; he does possess some observational skills.

"I see." Cui Yangming nodded. He had visited relatively few ruins and was always very cautious each time.

After listening to Ye Feng's words and carefully reflecting on his past experiences, he realized that it was indeed true.

Is this the power of knowledge?

Ye Feng then casually recounted his previous experiences entering the secret realm, which amazed everyone. They were astonished that someone so young could have such a wealth of adventures, truly deserving of being China's youngest PhD in Pokémon Studies.

As they spoke, the group traveled a considerable distance, and just as Ye Feng had said, they encountered no traps or mechanisms along the way.

"In addition, sometimes the walls of ruins are engraved with murals that record the history and legends of the past, such as this one." Ye Feng said, walking to the side and looking up.

There are several murals on the walls here. Due to their age, most of them are dilapidated and can only be vaguely discerned as depicting a person commanding a Pokémon in battle. The Pokémon is a Froakie, and its opponent's appearance is completely obscured.

"It seems this is a relic with a story," Cui Yangming joked.

Ye Feng glanced at the painting beside him and said with a smile, "Moreover, the protagonist of the story seems to be constantly fighting, as if he is on a journey of training?"

Continuing forward, they found several murals, all depicting battles, battles, and more battles.

Moreover, judging from the few paintings that can be barely discerned, the main characters in the battle are always that person and that croaking frog.

"Could this be someone's tomb?" Ning Xian couldn't help but wonder.

These murals are very similar to those in tombs, depicting the deceased's life. But what's strange is that, normally, murals depicting the life of the deceased should be painted in the tomb. Why can they be seen in the passageway?

Could it be that this person's experiences were so rich and exciting that there was no room to draw them inside the tomb, so they drew them outside?

"I don't know, let's keep going," Ye Feng said.

As they progressed, they saw more and more murals on the walls, which were better preserved. The protagonist of the story also became stronger, and his Pokémon underwent two evolutions, eventually evolving into Greninja.

The opponents they faced gradually changed from weak Pokémon to powerful ones, until finally, some Pokémon that none of the people present recognized appeared.

Neither of them were familiar nor accurate. On the last wall, there was an enormous painting. Perhaps because it was located in the deepest part of the ruins, the mural was very well preserved, and therefore its contents could be clearly seen.

This time, the protagonist of the battle was still the same person, only the appearance of Greninja seemed to have changed a bit, but it didn't seem to be much different from before. And its opponent made Ye Feng's eyes widen in surprise.

"Mega Charizard X?!"

Ye Feng gasped, as long-buried memories suddenly began to assault him.

"Then, could this Greninja be...?"

"Greninja in its Bond Form?"

Chapter 465 The Mysterious Elf That Appeared Suddenly

How could this be... The sudden surge of memories gave Ye Feng a headache.

In his previous life, what Ye Feng found most unsatisfying was the battle between the Wise Frog and the Water Sprayer.

He didn't know about later generations, but for Ye Feng, that series was undoubtedly Ash's peak, in terms of both appearance and art style...

Ye Feng couldn't understand how they could lose like this...

So, like many others, Ye Feng's dream of becoming a Trainer shattered the moment his Eevee collapsed...

Looking back at the mural, there's no doubt that the Greninja with its completely changed appearance is the Bond Form Greninja... no, it could also be the Mega Evolution form.

Nobody said Greninja can't Mega Evolve, right? It's just that the setting hasn't been released yet.

However, the keystone and megastone are not shown in the artwork, so the bond form is more likely.

As for the painting being about Ash's story, that's probably impossible. Ye Feng hasn't discovered anything in this world that has any connection to the original work, except for Pokémon.

"Dr. Ye, is that a Mega Greninja?" Cui Yangming asked Ye Feng.

The existence of Mega Evolutions in some Pokémon is no secret; almost everyone who isn't completely ignorant knows about it.

But the evolution of bonds is something that only a few people know about.

The Charizard on the mural is undoubtedly Mega Charizard X, so in Cui Yangming's view, the Greninja with the changed appearance is undoubtedly Mega Greninja.

"Possibly." Ye Feng nodded.

He currently has no clue about Bond Phenomenon Evolution, and Arcanine, which is the most likely candidate to achieve it, has remained silent since accidentally touching the edge of evolution last time. Ye Feng has no intention of revealing any information about this.

"Then, could there be Key Stones and Greninja Mega Stones inside?" Cui Yangming asked excitedly, while looking at a large door at the deepest part of the passage.

Mega Evolution has been announced for quite some time now, and basically all the information that can be collected from the outside world is already in the hands of the official team; the rest can only be found by luck in some secret realms and ruins that are difficult for humans to reach and have not yet been explored.

At the deepest part of the passage now stands a stone door, covered with drawings of Greninja frogs, both in their normal and Mega forms.

There's a good chance there's a pair behind the door.

"Perhaps, let's go in and take a look," Ye Feng said.

Just as everyone was about to set off, Gardevoir suddenly cried out. Before Ye Feng could ask anything, a figure appeared in a flash and blocked their way.

"What is that?!" Everyone was startled and immediately went into battle mode.

"Wait a minute..." Ye Feng raised his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous, and squinted slightly at the figure.
