Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

However, the meaning behind its words gave Xia Yan a lot of thoughts.

After a slight hesitation, I still stepped inside.

perhaps.

Ancient organizations like the Snow Peak Temple know some techniques about how superpowered individuals use their abilities.

Otherwise, the old man Long wouldn't have needed to deliberately point out the "superpower" aspect.

Although Xia Yan awakened his superpowers, his mastery of them was still too rudimentary, and he had never been able to find a suitable way to improve them.

Even if he can learn just a little bit here, it would be of great benefit to him.

that's it.

Following Keji and the expectant Miyu, they entered the Snow Peak Temple.

Rumbling--

The massive stone gate slowly closed.

The interior view was finally revealed.

The hall was tall and spacious, with old-fashioned candles hanging on the walls, and dim yellow light illuminating the hall.

On the walls are engraved exquisite murals. If you look closely, you will find that they are all about elves. This was the most primitive and effective way of inheritance by the ancients, engraving things that are worth remembering or need to be passed down on the walls.

As Xia Yan scanned the murals, he was also drawn to several of them.

The mural depicts a giant with a burly build, standing on two feet, but he is not human.

Ancient descriptions of elves are not entirely accurate, but they are still recognizable as the legendary elf, Regigigas!

This mural tells the story of Regigigas, the god of the earth, who, through his own power, combined the millennia-old ice in the glaciers, the earth rocks buried deep in the mountains, and special metals that were in magma but were not melted, to create Regice, Regirock, and Registeel, representing the ice, rock, and steel elements, respectively.

The legend of Regigigas creating the three divine pillars originates from this.

The next mural depicts Regigigas leading the three pillars to quell a volcanic eruption that could have caused serious damage to the earth and its inhabitants.

Immediately afterwards, Regigigas, using its immense power, forcefully dragged the continent, completely eliminating the possibility of a volcanic eruption, accompanied by the appearance of Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region.

Ultimately, Regigigas, exhausted, turned into a stone of light and fell into a deep sleep.

In order to protect it, the three divine pillars transformed into three pillars of different attributes around the Stone of Light.

To express their gratitude for Regigigas's contributions and to show their sincerest reverence, people built a temple at the place where he slept, and from then on, a group of people became believers of Regigigas as the god of the earth.

This is the story of how the Snow Peak Temple came to be, and the legend of Regigigas sleeping within the temple.

So much time has passed, and those who once worshipped Regigigas still serve it in the temple, but Regigigas has never awakened again.

Many people even suspect that these histories are merely figments of the imagination of the ancients, just a legend, and that there is no such thing as Regigigas.

As a result, the temple gradually fell into decline.

Even now, very few believers remain in the temple.

This has led to even the Alliance not paying much attention to the Snow Peak Temple, which is why the Hunter's Guild seems hesitant to extend its reach in this direction.

"Regickas is a real person."

At this moment, the old man Long came to Xia Yan's side, looked at the mural, and his voice slowly rang in his mind.

"It's just that it's too tiring. Other elves wouldn't even dare to think about dragging the continent."

It's easy to hear the old dragon's admiration for Regigigas from its voice.

Xia Yan nodded and said something in a voice only he could hear.

"I know."

If nothing unexpected happens, the Hunter's Guild's target is likely Regigigas.

Chapter 150 Long Live Friendship

the other side.

While Xia Yan and the old man Long were viewing the murals, Kaiji was holding Mei Yu's little hand and acting out a "mother-daughter reunion" scene with a woman.

However, it must be said that although Meiyu's mother looks to be in her thirties, she gives the impression of being in her twenties. She is dressed in a white linen robe, a white vest and a hood, and at first glance, she looks like a religious nun.

But seeing that Meiyu's mother was surrounded by several servants dressed in the same linen clothes, but in gray and white, one could tell that her status in the Snow Peak Temple must be quite high.

It also explains why Miyu's father was able to possess a top-quality Light Stone.

If we look through Miyu's mother, who holds a very high position in the Snow Peak Temple, the truth will be clear.

After all, what Regigigas transformed into after falling into a deep sleep was also a Stone of Light.

He didn't know whether it was related to the Light Stone in Xia Yan's hand, but he was certain that the believers in the Snow Peak Temple, which had protected Regigigas for thousands of years, were definitely not just believers in Regigigas.

Of course, genuine faith is the main reason, but that doesn't prevent them from reaping the benefits.

Looking at the young woman who was hugging Meiyu tightly and crying tears of joy, Xia Yan was a little curious about how Meiyu's father had managed to win over such a beautiful woman with a noble status, top-notch looks, and perhaps not weak strength.

He got someone to have a child for him.

But they didn't live together; instead, they took their child and flew far away.

It wasn't until she was on her deathbed that she suddenly remembered that her child had a mother.

It's just like watching a clichéd TV series.

And he was indeed looking at it from an outsider's perspective.

Seemingly sensing Xia Yan's doubts, or perhaps simply because he enjoyed communicating, the old man Long's voice echoed in his mind.

"Xiao Meiyu's mother is named Yu Yue. She is the goddess of the Snow Peak Temple in this generation and the supreme leader of all Regigigas believers."

goddess?

Supreme Leader?

Xia Yan's expression was strange. "Don't tell me that this so-called goddess can't get married and have children?"

If that's the case, then it's too melodramatic.

However, the old man looked at him with some surprise, "Why do you think that?"

Xia Yan shook his head. "That's good."

"No, actually, this problem has been troubling the Snow Peak Temple for a very, very long time. It has even caused internal strife within the Snow Peak Temple on several occasions, and is one of the main reasons for the Snow Peak Temple's decline to this point," the old man Long said in a heavy tone.

"Ok?"

Xia Yan was stunned.

Is it possible for internal strife to break out over whether or not a goddess should marry and have children?

But this is important to the followers of Regigigas who serve him according to ancient customs and methods.

With Long Wenglong's explanation, Xia Yan gradually understood the general reason.

once.

When the Snow Peak Temple was first established, the goddess was a girl with special abilities and responsibilities. She was the only channel for believers to communicate with Regigigas, and therefore had a lofty status and power.

However, people in ancient times had outdated ideas and believed that goddesses should be virgins and holy, so the original goddesses were indeed not allowed to marry and have children.

However, with each generation of goddesses passing through, it cannot be guaranteed that every goddess will be willing to live such a life.

Until one day, a goddess gave birth to a child while carrying the Snow Peak Temple on her back.

The Snow Peak Temple was in complete chaos at the time, with everyone demanding the removal of the goddess and the killing of the "filthy" bloodline.

But the goddess did her utmost to protect her.

Gradually, people discovered that the goddess's child was incredibly talented, even more so than her mother, and was able to communicate with Regigigas at a young age.

Ultimately, human reason prevailed over outdated ideas.

That child became the next goddess.

The goddess's decision to protect the child greatly weakened the power and influence of the Snow Peak Temple at the time.

However, the final outcome was good; the Snow Peak Temple abolished the rule that "goddesses may not marry or have children."

However, within the Snow Peak Temple, there was still a faction that opposed this, and they were known as the "conservatives."

The biggest turning point has arrived.

Miyu's father was originally a member of this conservative faction.

But the final result is already known.

He broke away from his faction and realized that his original ideas were wrong.

His actions, however, did not prompt the "conservatives" to reflect; instead, they greatly agitated their already fragile nerves, triggering another strong backlash.

Left with no other choice, Miyu's father had to take her away from this place to prevent the two of them from becoming a hindrance to Miyu's mother, Hazuki.

finally.

The incident subsided, and the conservatives completely disappeared from the Snow Peak Temple. Except for a few powerful individuals who escaped, the Snow Peak Temple was free of those outdated ideas.

recently.

Yuu-Yuu, the current goddess, has decided to open the gates of the Snow Peak Temple and make contact with the Sinnoh League, which now governs Sinnoh.

They must look up and forward, towards a new era, and not dwell on the past, otherwise the Snow Peak Temple will eventually disappear into the long river of history.

After listening to the story, Xia Yan exclaimed, "He is a very capable and courageous person."

The old man nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

At that moment, Yu Yue, holding Mi Yu's hand, led Keiji and several servants to Xia Yan.

With a face full of gratitude, she bowed slightly to him, "Mr. Yan Xia, thank you so much for your help this time. If it weren't for you, my daughter and I might never have been able to meet again in this lifetime."

When Xia Yan was talking to the old man Long just now, Keji should have told her the general outline of what happened.

You probably already have a clue who is targeting Miu and what their purpose is.

"It's just a matter of getting paid to do a job," Xia Yan waved his hand dismissively.
