I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Watch closely!" Mr. Fujiyama seemed completely oblivious to the pain. He suddenly swung his hand, and the blood splattered onto Garchomp's face, causing Garchomp to blink instinctively. However, a tremendous force immediately followed from its abdomen. Mr. Fujiyama seized the opportunity and kicked Garchomp hard in the stomach.

Mr. Fujiyama showed no mercy. After kicking Garchomp, he clenched his right hand and, ignoring his own hand injury, slammed it into Garchomp's chest. However, Garchomp blocked the blow.

"Mr. Fujiyama!" Heath called out worriedly. The kick was heavy, but Garchomp could withstand it. Although Garchomp's eyes seemed more serious, it should still be able to continue fighting. However, if Mr. Fujiyama continued fighting, it would be troublesome.

"Phew... I lost." Mr. Fujiyama stopped moving and shook his head helplessly. As expected, the Garchomp bred by the champion Cyndaquil was not so easy to deal with. Even though he used some tricks and gained some advantages, the final victory was not his. But it was enough. Mr. Fujiyama smiled happily. Such an opportunity was not easy to come by and could be used next time.

"Mr. Fujiyama, you are truly amazing." Cynthia's address became much more respectful. If Mr. Fujiyama were a trainer, Cynthia wouldn't have taken it so seriously, but Mr. Fujiyama had just engaged in a melee with her Garchomp. Seeing Garchomp's condition reminded Cynthia of when she challenged the Elite Four and the Champion. In a way, this was also a recognition of Mr. Fujiyama's strength.

"Champion Cyndaquil is too kind." Mr. Fujiyama waved his hand, then looked at the Garchomp in front of him with envy. Pokémon are truly a gifted species. Even a battle master like him was powerless against Garchomp. If it were a life-or-death battle, he would probably be the one to fall in the end. After all, Garchomp doesn't just know these close-range moves. It can also use Dragon Breath and other moves.

However, Mr. Fujiyama was not discouraged. He knew there was a huge gap between humans and Pokémon, and he had always been aware of this. But this could not stop him from striving for the position of the strongest in his mind. He had to see if humans in this world could ultimately defeat those pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Mr. Fujiyama believed that as his skills continued to improve, he would definitely find such an opportunity to try.

Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. The most important thing in life is to keep growing, failing, and then growing. Only in this way can you gradually find your own path.

"You're really amazing, Mr. Fujiyama. But could you please come over here for a moment so I can treat your wound?" Heath pulled a first-aid kit out of his backpack. He always carried one with him, and he knew a lot about treating wounds. After all, Heath had learned from Sister Feng and the others, and for Officer Jenny, treating external injuries was practically a required course.

Mr. Fujiyama was obviously aware of this, so he sat down next to Heath and reached out his hand for Heath to help him.

"Mr. Fujiyama, is it alright without anesthesia?" Heath asked.

“Of course it’s alright.” Mr. Fujiyama smiled.

Chapter 928 The Wonderful Uses of Paralysis Powder

Although it wasn't a big deal, Heath could still see that Mr. Fujiyama's veins were bulging when the wound was being cleaned. This was quite normal, as cleaning a wound, especially such a large and deep one, is an extremely painful experience for most people, as it requires stitches afterwards. However, Heath didn't have any anesthesia and couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, Cynthia came up with some solutions.

"Rosredo, thank you for your help then." Cynthia smiled and summoned a Pokémon. Cynthia was taken aback when she saw it. Rosredo? A Grass/Poison type Pokémon... If this Pokémon comes out, it might be...

Ok?

Hiss smacked his hand. Oh right, he suddenly remembered that Roseredo, being a Grass-type Pokémon, could naturally learn moves like Stun Powder. Stun Powder, when used locally, could act as an anesthetic. So, Roseredo could easily paralyze Mr. Fujiyama, allowing him to perform the surgery comfortably. Mr. Fujiyama didn't refuse, and with the Stun Powder in place, Hiss could speed up his procedure.

Paralysis powder can paralyze Pokémon, but when used on humans, especially locally, it can have a similar effect to anesthesia, making people feel no pain. Therefore, some Nurse Joys will catch and train a Grass-type Pokémon to deal with emergencies. After all, sometimes when you're not in a hospital and don't have the equipment, the paralysis powder from a Grass-type Pokémon is a very good way to anesthetize.

Electric-type Pokémon aren't bad, but their electromagnetic waves often directly affect the entire body, so there are relatively few who can use them effectively. On the contrary, Grass-type Pokémon, which can precisely control the range of paralyzing powder, are the best choice. Cynthia's Roserade, being a Champion-level Pokémon, can easily control the range of its paralyzing powder.

After the surgery was successfully completed, Mr. Fujiyama's hand looked almost the same as before. However, there was still a noticeable difference, as there was a gruesome scar on his hand that would require stitches to be removed. Mr. Fujiyama would soon have to go to the hospital in Orange City. Although Heath had taken care of it, whether he could fully recover still needed to be determined by a professional doctor. Heath could only hope to prevent Mr. Fujiyama from bleeding to death, since anyone would die from massive blood loss.

Although Hiss could get stitches done, he would still need to have some check-ups afterwards. Fortunately, Garchomp was a Dragon-type Pokémon and didn't have the Poison type, otherwise Mr. Fujiyama would have needed to go to the hospital. Hiss suddenly realized a blind spot: although Mr. Fujiyama was a Fighting Master, he seemed to have no way to deal with Poison-type Pokémon. Contact could lead to poisoning, and he would end up lying on the ground before he could even exert any force.

"That Mr. Fujiyama is truly remarkable." Cynthia sighed as she watched Mr. Fujiyama's departing figure. Although Cynthia had met some fighters, very few could actually fight Garchomp and not be at a disadvantage throughout the battle. In fact, almost no one was willing to fight Garchomp. While Garchomp doesn't have the Shark Skin ability, the scales covering its Dragon-type Pokémon are enough to intimidate anyone, and you could even accidentally cut your hand.

However, Mr. Fujiyama seemed to have no regard for those issues when he fought, and attacked directly without considering whether he would have any problems. He kept attacking Garchomp with punch after punch.

"Mr. Fujiyama is a very persevering person. I even think that if there were a ranking of the most persevering people in the world, Mr. Fujiyama would definitely be on the list." Heath shrugged. Not everyone can accept the constant exercise every day. You know, exercise is a kind of beating of your body, which is very painful. People always yearn for relaxation and leisure, so very few people are willing to persist in exercising every day. But Mr. Fujiyama has persisted for a long time.

"I'm really looking forward to it! I wonder if in the future, there will be humans who can defeat all sorts of powerful Pokémon entirely on their own?" Cynthia put away Garchomp. Garchomp had gained a lot from this battle. It had never seen an attack like Mr. Fujiyama's before, but it was quite interesting. Risking injury to deliver a powerful attack to the enemy—it was somewhat like a technique...

I've seen some Fighting-type Pokémon when Garchomp was battling before. Some of those Pokémon would charge at me without holding back, completely abandoning their defense, just like Mr. Fujiyama. I think that move was called something like that.

Close combat?

That's really interesting. Do humans also have such powerful beings?

"By the way, what did you go to do just now?" Cynthia asked Heath curiously. She had noticed that Heath had left for a while, and of course she didn't think that Heath had gone to the bathroom. He must have gone to do something, but she didn't know what it was. However, Cynthia felt that her boyfriend would not hide anything from her.

"Ah, Mew just said it sensed a Pokémon that was about to die and went over there." Heath pointed to a spot. Mew hadn't returned yet, and Heath didn't know how the situation was going. Heath was a little worried, but considering Mew's strength, he felt that Mew should be fine. Besides, Cynthia, the Champion Trainer, was also there. Unless it encountered a legendary Pokémon, Cynthia shouldn't have much trouble dealing with ordinary Pokémon.

"A dying Pokémon? Oh dear, let's go check it out!" Cynthia became anxious upon hearing this, while Hiss remained calm. He knew Mew's strength, and with the medicine he had given it, as long as it wasn't a penetrating, fatal wound, it should be fine. Nevertheless, he quickly followed his girlfriend over, and soon Hiss heard Mew's voice.

Following Mew's voice, Heath found Mew and saw a white Pokémon lying weakly on the grass. It smelled of healing potions, but it seemed to be alright.

Chapter 929 Seal Ball?

"Sealball?" Hiss recognized the Pokémon as a Water/Ice type Sealball, which was quite popular due to its cute appearance. But why was there a Sealball here? Hiss was a little confused. After all, this was Petalburg Woods, where Grass and Bug type Pokémon were the most common. Hiss had just heard many Grass type Pokémon talking, but their messages were very brief, such as "Have you eaten?" "Looking for food", "Hungry", "Run!" This still proved how many Grass type Pokémon were here, and Sealball was a Water type Pokémon that was afraid of Grass type Pokémon, so theoretically it shouldn't be here.

Although Sealball is an Ice-type Pokémon, it is still weak to Grass-type Pokémon. While some Grass-type Pokémon are herbivores, others are carnivores. If this little guy were to die in Petalburg Woods, Heath thinks it would soon disappear without a trace. After all, Beedrill is also a carnivore, which is a truly terrifying story.

"It really is a Sealball... and it's injured, quite badly." Cynthia also came over, squatted down and examined the Sealball. She quickly discerned the extent of its injuries, which made her expression unpleasant. The Sealball had many wounds, most of them scratches, and she wondered if it had encountered someone who abused Pokémon.

Although the League forbids the abuse of Pokémon, the problem is that there are always people who defy the law, so cases of Pokémon abuse are still discovered from time to time. As the Champion, Cynthia is more aware of the darkness of this world. She has seen some people who have been secretly dealt with by the League. Those people even created a special group to share videos of themselves abusing Pokémon and profit from it. When Cynthia saw this, she wanted to give them a Dragon Impact and then humanely destroy them.

Cynthia could understand the League's actions. This kind of thing was too dark. If it were publicized, there would always be some overly curious people who would search for similar websites, and then either turn them into potential perverts or bring some benefits to those bastards. That wouldn't do.

"Oh? You mean, this little guy was blown here by a tornado? It has its own trainer?" Heath heard Mew's hint. After all, Mew is a Psychic Pokémon. It had just finished taking care of Sealball and asked the other party why it was injured. Then it got an answer that made Heath laugh and cry. He really didn't expect that a Pokémon could be so unlucky.

Although Petalburg City is located in the Hoenn region, it is a port city after all, so the weather is not always so good. Tornadoes are not uncommon. Heath thinks that the trainer is probably a newbie, because old-school trainers know that in severe weather like tornadoes, they need to be careful with their Poké Balls, otherwise they will be in tears if the Poké Balls are blown up.

Upon hearing Hiss's words, Cynthia's expression turned both amused and exasperated. She hadn't expected such an outcome. After all, she had been wondering if this was the work of those disgusting guys. But now Cynthia knew that this little guy had simply run into a trainer who didn't know much. Every year when typhoons and tornadoes occur, although the League issues warnings, there are still quite a few reports of their Poké Balls being blown away by the wind.

It's a case of being reminded every year, yet committing the same mistake every year.

"Do you remember where you were blown up from?" Heath looked around but didn't see any Poké Balls. He guessed that the little guy had moved around after falling, otherwise he might have been able to find the other trainer based on the Poké Ball. You know, Poké Balls have serial numbers, but these numbers only apply to registered Pokémon. For example, if Heath were to register Mew now, the Poké Ball containing Mew would have a serial number, and Heath's information could be found through that number.

This is also one of the alliance's protective measures to guard against such unexpected situations.

"Chirp chirp!" The sound of the Seal Ball was very faint. Hiss's lips twitched. He couldn't understand it at all. He had no idea what the Seal Ball was saying. But thankfully, Mew was there. Mew could act as a simultaneous interpreter. Zoroark could too, but the little guy was currently searching for the location of the Seal Ball with Kirlia, so only Mew could translate.

"It said it was blown out of its Poké Ball." Mew translated, and Heath covered her face. Cynthia was also a little amused, but she wasn't too upset. She had encountered many young Pokémon like this before, and they were all like that. They had difficulty understanding people's meaning and didn't have a high desire to explore the outside world, so it was not uncommon for them to give irrelevant answers.

"It seems the only option is to take it out and give it to Officer Jenny." Heath was helpless. If they could find the Poké Ball, they might be able to find clues about the other party, but since they didn't have one, they could only hand it over to Officer Jenny and check if anyone had reported a similar missing person case. Then they could try to find the owner of the Poké Ball. If that didn't work, then Heath had no other choice.

Cynthia asked for more information, but the seal ball only remembered being blown up, then its Poké Ball was opened for some reason, and then it did a high-altitude, ropeless bungee jump, falling all the way down. If it hadn't been somewhat clever and resourceful, it probably would have died from the fall. Luckily, it didn't die, but it was still badly scratched by tree branches, and it was just a hair's breadth away from dying on the spot.

It was then targeted by other Pokémon. It wanted to find a pond to hide in and rest, but it fainted before it could even climb over. It thought it was going to die, but it just so happened to run into Mew with a healing potion, which protected it from some malicious Pokémon.

If Fantasy had arrived even a little later, she would probably be missing some parts. Although she is suffering a lot now, at least she is still alive, and that's enough.

“I can’t get any more information either… Did Zoroark and Kirlia find any clues? It said it came from that side.” Cynthia shook her head; there were no more leads.

"Let me ask... no, I guess the Poké Ball broke apart in mid-air." Heath shrugged.

Chapter 930 How to Deal with Lost Pokémon

The Poké Ball disintegrated in mid-air, leaving them completely helpless. Although Seath wanted to help the Seal Ball, the Poké Ball had already broken apart, so there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well ask Dialga for help, could he? Therefore, the best solution was to take the Seal Ball with him and figure out a solution once they returned to Petalburg Woods. He could then hand it over to Officer Jenny. Seath was quite familiar with similar procedures, having witnessed Maple and her friends handle many similar situations back in Viridian City.

Viridian City is more unique than Petalburg City. To the west of Viridian City lies the Pokémon League, where many trainers reside. In addition, the Viridian Berry, rumored to grant the Pokémon the power of Viridian, is a popular destination for treasure hunters. Consequently, people often venture into Viridian Forest to search for treasure. As a result, some people report the unexpected loss of their Pokémon. Officer Jenny's approach is to register the information, offer some advice, and then wait for news.

Yes, we can only wait. After all, the Pokémon world is too big. In addition, apart from legendary and mythical Pokémon, most other Pokémon have their own species. So it's not easy to find the right Pokémon among so many. Therefore, Officer Jenny can only wait and see if anyone will turn it in. If no one turns it in or no Pokémon seeks help on its own, then there's nothing we can do but register it and see if we encounter it in the future.

It's like losing your electric scooter or phone and all you can do is wait for news. The world is too big, and there are too many places where bad guys can hide. There's really no good solution. What's most despairing is that Pokémon are alive. They can move, cry, make noise, and run. So often, a Pokémon might be lost in Viridian City, but when it's finally found, it might be somewhere else.

The most outrageous thing Hiss had ever seen was someone reporting that their Pelipper was lost, only to find it in the Sinnoh region. It cost a lot of money to bring it back, which shows how difficult it is to find a lost Pokémon. In particular, most Pokémon will instinctively seek out safe places to hide after they go missing. Doesn't Sealball also want to find a pond to hide in? It's in its nature.

"Then let's go. I remember there's a pond ahead." Heath looked at the Seal Ball in his arms and sighed helplessly. The little guy didn't want to go into the Poké Ball. According to Mew, it seemed that the previous experience had made the Seal Ball afraid of Poké Balls. It would feel uncomfortable all over when it went in, so it could only stay outside. Heath didn't want his girlfriend to carry it either. After all, the Seal Ball was quite heavy. If someone didn't exercise regularly, carrying it for a while would make their muscles sore and unbearable.

As a chef, Heath's arm muscles were honed to the highest level, almost comparable to those who specialize in muscle training. Moreover, Heath was very strong, so holding the seal ball felt like he wasn't holding it at all.

“I’ve looked at the map. That pool isn’t our target, but it’s a nice place to go over there. It’s quite interesting.” Cynthia nodded, her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. Heath was a little confused as to why his girlfriend had such an expression, but he thought it might be related to the box they found in another place earlier.

Although Heath didn't know what Cynthia had discovered, Heath had one advantage: he never spoke recklessly about areas he didn't understand. So, Heath remained calm about this matter. Since Cynthia had discovered something, all he had to do was watch and see. He didn't need to worry about anything else; as long as Cynthia knew, that was enough.

The pool wasn't far, and Heath quickly brought Seal Ball there. Upon seeing the water, Seal Ball became excited and had an urge to run down, but Heath stopped him. The guy was covered in injuries, and if he went in now, he probably wouldn't be able to get out. After being stopped by Heath, Seal Ball immediately became much more obedient and dared not move anymore.

As usual, Cynthia released the manatee, which then burrowed inside. However, just as it entered, a pair of enormous eyes appeared in the frame, startling Cynthia. But she quickly realized that it wasn't a creature at all, but a giant doll.

"This is... Pikachu?" Heath looked at the large plush toy in front of him. He didn't know how long ago it was, and since it had been in the water for a long time, all the colors on it had faded. He could only judge by its appearance. Heath thought it was probably Pikachu, but he didn't know why there was such a big Pikachu here. Just making this thing must have cost a lot of money.

“Hmm, judging from its appearance and shape… it’s probably been underwater for decades.” Cynthia looked more closely, touched her chin, and said thoughtfully. Heath glanced at his girlfriend and realized that she seemed quite unique, showing a great interest in these old things.

"Look, here... there's another one here... um? What's this?" Cynthia directed the Manatee to circle around the Pikachu. There was nothing she could do; the pond wasn't very big, and all she could see was this Pikachu. Everything else was just mud and stuff. Forget about a mansion, she couldn't even find a doll.

However, Cynthia noticed something strange about this Pikachu. She looked at the screen curiously and saw a strange mark, but because the underwater visibility was not very good, she couldn't see it clearly. Then Cynthia had Manatee pull the big Pikachu out. After it was pulled out, a strange smell came towards her. Cynthia couldn't help but cover her nose. What kind of strange smell was this?

Fortunately, the smell dissipated quickly, and Heath followed Cynthia to Pikachu's back, where there was a symbol, a strange symbol.

“…Cynthia, don’t you think this thing is just a cell phone?” Heath looked at the logo in front of her with a strange expression. This thing looked exactly the same as the smartphone in her hand, without any difference.

Chapter 931 Pokémon in the Lake

Smartphones are now an essential item for everyone. It's safe to say that everyone uses them, and we're all used to them. We've even seen all sorts of smartphones, from foldable to enlarged ones. But the problem is, if you think about it carefully, smartphones have only been around for a little over a decade. The same goes for the Pokémon world. Smartphones have only been around for a little over a decade. So if this thing is something from decades ago, it certainly can't be a smartphone. So if it's not a smartphone, then what is it?

“…Actually, back in Sinnoh, during archaeological digs, we discovered some strange things. On those stone slabs dating back thousands of years, there were things that looked like smartphones, held in a person's hand. They looked exactly like phones. According to the translation, people called them the Light of Creation. However, we still don't know what those things actually are, but they do look somewhat similar to this.” Cynthia's expression was somewhat hesitant. She loved archaeology and had seen many ruins and other things in Sinnoh.

However, the appearance of this thing still puzzled her, and it also puzzled many archaeologists. Why would something similar to a smartphone appear in that era? You know, some Pokémon professors had never seen a mobile phone when they were young. People used telephones back then. There might only be two telephones in a village. Only wealthy families could afford to install telephones. Later, mobile phones appeared, but they were still keypad phones.

Smartphones are even older, so archaeologists could only try to explain, speculate, and force interpretations from other angles, even suspecting that they were fake. But in the end, it was proven to be real, not fake.

Hiss's expression became even stranger. He didn't know what this thing was, but he did know what Cynthia was talking about. It must be the phone that the later players were transported to save the world, which was blessed by Arceus and recorded by the ancients as a magical thing. That was really ridiculous. However, he didn't expect that not much of what the professor recorded had been preserved. That was normal. In Hiss's understanding, after that era of chaos, the Pokémon world went through an era of monarchy before finally developing into what it is now.

Although Heath and Cynthia were very curious, they did not linger in the place for long. Soon, the two embarked on their journey and arrived at the place that Heath thought was most likely to contain the mansion: a lake that looked very large on the map. When Heath arrived, she found that it was indeed a lake, a rather large lake. This place could easily hide more than a dozen mansions, let alone just one.

“This place…” Heath exclaimed. The scenery is really beautiful. No wonder so many people like to vacation by the lake in the forest. It is indeed quite interesting.

"Oh no, a Pokémon is coming out!" Mew suddenly grabbed Hiss's hand and pulled him back. Hiss instinctively grabbed Cynthia. Garchomp, who was about to make a move, saw this and silently lowered its hand. Then it looked at the lake in front of it with hostility. The next second, a red Gyarados emerged from the lake, opened its big mouth, and let out a deafening roar.

"A red Gyarados? There's one here?" Hiss was a little surprised. He was quite angry before, because the position where this guy rushed out was not good. If he and Cynthia hadn't left, they probably would have been hit. But after seeing this Pokémon, Hiss became surprised because this guy was actually a red Gyarados!

Shiny Gyarados is quite popular. I heard that Elite Four member Lance owns a red Gyarados, and the red Gyarados is rumored to have unique characteristics that set it apart from other Gyarados. It's very powerful and is a favorite among many Water-type Pokémon trainers. However, it's extremely rare, almost as rare as Mew. After all, golden Magikarp isn't easy to find either.

"A Shiny Gyarados? Sure enough, this guy must be the local tyrant. There aren't many Pokémon around here that seem to be getting water." Cynthia was also a little surprised, but she understood why she hadn't seen any Pokémon activity when she arrived. After all, this guy was here, and it looked like a Gyarados with an unusually bad temper.

Gyarados, as its name suggests, doesn't have a very good personality. However, not every Gyarados is like that. Most Gyarados are quite docile. But this big guy in front of us is definitely not one of them. And just as he was speaking, an ominous light began to gather in the mouth of the Gyarados. This guy actually used Hyper Beam on Cynthia and Cynthia.

However, Hiss wasn't worried at all. Didn't you see that Garchomp next to Cynthia had a face as black as oil? If the US saw that, they'd be coming over to dig for oil again.

Sure enough, this Gyarados couldn't cause any trouble at all and was easily defeated by Garchomp. If Cynthia hadn't spoken up, this Gyarados would probably have died on the spot. With Charizard handling the cremation, Heath wasn't too worried. However, Charizard didn't seem interested in Gyarados and was only focused on Garchomp. Heath thought it was probably because Charizard thought there was a powerful Garchomp in front of it, and the mere Gyarados was nothing to worry about.

To Hiss's surprise, Cynthia actually took out an Ultra Ball and caught the Gyarados. Hiss was somewhat taken aback, as he didn't remember Cynthia catching a Shiny Gyarados.

"There's nothing I can do. Professor Yamanashi is very interested in this kind of Pokémon. He's researching why shiny Pokémon sometimes occur." Cynthia noticed Hiss's confusion and explained with a smile. Hiss suddenly understood. He had thought it was because Cynthia had become interested in collecting Pokémon. However, Hiss felt that he probably couldn't contain his excitement when he saw this red Gyarados.

After dealing with the Shiny Gyarados, things became much simpler. The Gyarados skillfully went into the water and then saw something very conspicuous. Although it was covered by seaweed, it was still clear that it was a building, and a rather large one at that.

Chapter 932 The Fruit of Everlasting Pan

"This should be the mansion, right?" Although Heath said it as a question, his tone was very certain. The building in front of him was definitely the mansion mentioned in Heath's intelligence report. Of course, Heath himself hoped so too. If this mansion wasn't the one Heath had seen, then things would be troublesome. Heath didn't want to continue searching because the next lake was still some distance away. It would be best to finish things here as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be a waste of time.

Life in the forest is not so easy. If Heath and Cynthia hadn't applied some insect repellent, the mosquitoes along the way would have been enough to keep them busy. And that's just because they were only looking for things. If they wanted to stay here, they would need to spend even more money. They would need insect repellent and Pokémon repellent. Although most Pokémon don't hurt people, there are exceptions, so it's always good to be careful just in case.

"Hmm, probably." The manatee beast had already gone inside, but the house seemed to have been submerged for even longer, resulting in seaweed everywhere and making it unlikely to find anything. The manatee beast had searched extensively but only found some worthless items, leaving Heath feeling somewhat exhausted. If he couldn't find anything here, what should he do? Should he go somewhere else? But how could it be such a coincidence? A lake sinking a mansion?

The manatee searched around but found nothing else, so it had to come out. Heath sighed and took out a map to continue planning the route for later. However, at this moment, Cynthia saw something in the dim lake bottom. Curious, she directed the manatee to go over and then pulled it. Immediately, an iron box appeared in front of them. It was well sealed, and there was even a ring of something like amber on the outside.

"What is this?" Cynthia asked curiously, having Manatee retrieve the object. Manatee easily brought it up, and once it was there, Cynthia was certain that it was amber, sealed inside an iron box. She didn't know what was inside the box, but the way it was preserved made Cynthia realize that the contents were probably quite valuable.

"Is this amber?" Heath noticed this as well. He put down the map in his hand and curiously leaned closer. When he saw the iron box inside, Heath was first stunned, then overjoyed. There was another box inside? A box!
