Help capture the ancient Pokémon, Relicanth.
The reward offered by the employer was actually a set of Water, Fire, Thunder ite, and an ancient Trainer's guide to raising Pokémon.
Both the Relicanth and the reward offered by the employer should be very attractive.
After noting down the task number, Kebi returned to the main console where Joy was.
"Joy, I'd like to ask, why hasn't anyone taken task number 9527, the Relicanth one?"
Joy smiled and explained:
"The task requires that the captured Relicanth belongs entirely to the task publisher. Several Trainers communicated with the publisher and chose to give up because of this."
"At the same time, they believed that the ancient Trainer cultivation knowledge provided by the publisher was fake, a complete deception, and that the task should be canceled."
But Joy did not cancel it, which indicated that the ancient texts should be real.
Kebi wanted to try.
"Can I meet with the task publisher to discuss the task details before deciding whether to accept this task?"
Joy nodded, then picked up the phone and dialed:
"Dr. Mei Mu, could you please come to the lobby? A Trainer wants to understand the task you published."
After hanging up, Joy said:
"Please wait, Dr. Mei Mu will be right over."
Dr. Mei Mu, wasn't he the researcher Ash and his friends met, who set up his institute in the Guchen Town Pokémon Center and was engaged in ancient Pokémon research?
He didn't expect him to still be at the Guchen Ruins; Kebi thought he had already gone to research other ruins.
Soon, a young man with spiky hair, wearing a beige linen work suit, strode over, holding a notebook in his hand.
"Hello, I'm Mei Mu."
"Hello, Dr. Mei Mu."
Dr. Mei Mu handed the notebook in his hand to Kebi and said:
"This is a part of the ancient Pokémon training knowledge from my reward that I have translated. You can take a look first."
"If you don't agree with this training method and think my reward is deceptive, you can directly refuse me."
Kebi took the notebook, opened it, and began to read.
"Okay."
The notebook recorded a training method that modern people would consider to be like witchcraft.
Place an iron pot in a specific direction, put dried herbs into the iron pot according to the recipe and sequence, and light them. The Trainer and Pokémon meditate back to back in the center of the iron pot.
After meditating, the Pokémon can unearth hidden power.
Kebi frowned and asked:
"Doctor, why do I feel like this is an ritual spell mastered by ancient priests?"
Dr. Mei Mu nodded and said:
"That's right, this is indeed a bronze-covered book written on unknown animal hide that I found in a priest's tomb in a ruin."
"It records the ancient spells mastered by the priests. According to the murals, these methods should be effective, but we haven't mastered the correct way to use them."
"Perhaps... my translation is problematic?"
Before transmigrating, Kebi had watched almost all Pokémon animations. He knew very well that ancient people in the Pokémon world did indeed master many strange Psychic abilities.
"Doctor, I would like to ask, how many Relicanth do I need to help you catch for the task?"
Dr. Mei Mu's face lit up with Joy, and he quickly said:
"Four."
Four was a bit too many. Kebi tentatively asked:
"Doctor, if I can't help you catch four Relicanth, but at least one, I can forgo the ite set, but can I have a copy of your translation of the ancient book?"
Dr. Mei Mu was a little surprised.
"This is the first time I've met someone who wants an ancient book instead of an ite set."
Kebi said, "I'm also very curious about ancient people and ancient Pokémon, so I want to learn more through this ancient book."
Hearing this, Dr. Mei Mu immediately became excited as if he had found a kindred spirit.
"Of course, no problem! Whether you catch Relicanth or not, I can give you a copy of my translation of the ancient book."
"Let me tell you, ancient Pokémon..."
Dr. Mei Mu began to eloquently introduce the ruins he had explored over the years, the achievements he had made, and how many unknown mysteries were waiting for him to solve.
And Kebi also appropriately played the role of a good listener for Dr. Mei Mu.
"Is that so?"
"Amazing!"
"It's really not easy."
The perfectly timed responses made Dr. Mei Mu certain that he had found a kindred spirit.
Kebi wasn't just being polite; he was genuinely surprised by Dr. Mei Mu's knowledge.
Dr. Mei Mu mentioned an ancient civilization that used the power of Baltoy to master the power of traveling through time, but there are very few existing ruins.
He couldn't even be sure if this civilization truly existed.
Kebi was certain that this civilization existed, but he also didn't know where Mist Mountain was when Ash and his friends met the girl who used Baltoy in the anime.
The Pokémon world is just like that; perhaps in some obscure corner, there is a power that can destroy the world hidden away.
"It's still early. Why don't we go to my institute and sit for a bit? I have the complete translation of the ancient book there."
"Great!"
The two talked and laughed, arriving at an institute converted from a warehouse behind the Pokémon Center.
The institute was a bit messy, with several stone tablets on the table, and some papers with scribbles and corrections.
These should be the ancient documents Dr. Mei Mu was currently translating.
Looking at the cluttered desk, Dr. Mei Mu scratched his head:
"Wait a moment, I'm trying to remember where I put those translated manuscripts."
Dr. Mei Mu pulled open the desk drawer, took out a stack of clipped papers, looked at them, and handed them to Kebi.
"Here's one."
He then went to rummage through a cabinet and took out another copy.
From a pile of folders on the floor, Dr. Mei Mu also found two copies.
Dr. Mei Mu frowned in thought: "Where did I put the other manuscript?"
Kebi looked at them. The first one was the complete version of the herb ritual that the Doctor had given him.
In addition to burning herbs, there were also two rituals for burning wood and burning bones.
Of the other two, one was about boiling various materials to create potions with magical effects.
One was about making talismans with various enhancement effects.
Looking at the materials, they were either lost or fell under the protection of Alliance law.
Private logging, harvesting, and hunting are prohibited.
Another monopoly by the powerful.
Clearly, the ancient book in Dr. Mei Mu's hand.
The Alliance elites also had it, and most likely, they hadn't lost it.
And they had updated the recipes and developed methods for making them using modern materials.
But these rituals, potions, and talismans were not entirely useless.
Just understanding what effects those materials had would greatly help Kebi in raising Pokémon.
He knew how to optimize the Pokémon food recipes for Piplup and Chimchar.
"Found it! This part is the most essential part of the ancient book."
Kebi took it and saw that this part talked about how to train mental power through Calm Mind and master Psychic, illusion techniques, Teleport, and Future Sight.
The first sentence of the opening stated that mastering Psychic abilities requires talent.
People without talent, after three to five years of training, can only pick a leaf from a tree.
People with talent can break a well-forged sword in a year.
Kebi suddenly wanted to try the method described above to see if he had talent.
"Doctor, have you tried it?"
