Saying goodbye to Professor Oak, Ash, Misty, and Brock went directly to the mountains west of the backyard to find the archaeological team.
Misty and Brock were very interested in the Pokémon civilization, while Ash wanted to prove his conjecture and see whether the ancient Alakazam and ancient Gengar were related to Dynamax.
The location of the archaeological team was not difficult to find. Ash had been there before when he came to find Aerodactyl, and he also got the location of their camp from Professor Oak.
"Haven't you found it yet? Could the location be wrong?" In the mountain region where the archaeological team was camped, the woman who spoke with Ash and the others the day before frowned slightly, looking at the map in her hand.
This was completely different from the map shown to Ash and the others the day before. It was an ancient map that looked like it had been around for some years, and the characters written on it were not contemporary characters, but ancient hieroglyphs.
"Although the terrain has undergone some changes over a long period of time, according to my guess, there should be nothing wrong with this place…" the woman bit her lip slightly.
"Professor Eve, don't be so impatient. After all, we have only started digging not long ago…" a slightly chubby middle-aged man said helplessly.
It had only been an hour since the archaeological team started working. How could the ruins be excavated so quickly? The ruins might not even remain. After all, so many years had passed, and any accidents could have happened.
"No…according to the information I read in the literature, this relic should be easy to find," the woman, who was Professor Eve, said, a little unwillingly.
"It will definitely work this time!" the middle-aged man comforted Professor Eve.
"Professor! Leader! Three children came to our camp and wanted to visit our archaeological operations. They were introduced by Professor Oak." At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and an archaeologist reported what was going on outside.
"Children?" Eve frowned slightly, but after thinking that it was Professor Oak who introduced them, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction. After all, this was someone else's territory, and Professor Oak also gave them a lot of support.
"Bring them over here." Eve sighed and asked the archaeologists to bring the three children over.
"Yes!" The archaeologists withdrew, and after a while, they brought three people into the tent. These three people were Ash and his party.
"It's you?" Professor Eve showed astonishment when she saw Ash and Misty. She obviously didn't expect that it would be Ash who showed them the way the day before.
"Hello, my name is Ash, this is Misty, and this is Brock…" Ash nodded slightly to Eve, introducing himself and his group.
"This beautiful lady…" Just when Eve was about to say something, Brock rushed to Eve, knelt down, and said, "Is there any chance for me to share the pleasure of dinner with you?"
"This, this…" Eve was taken aback by Brock's sudden action and even took a small step back, looking at Brock with a stiff face.
"That's enough, don't embarrass yourself here…" Misty resisted the embarrassment, pulled Brock up, and smiled apologetically at Eve, "I'm very sorry, Brock, he sees a beautiful woman and can't help but do this, but he has no malicious intentions."
"Ha…haha…" Eve smiled awkwardly, changed the subject directly, and got back on track, "I didn't introduce myself to you yesterday. Hello, I am the archaeologist in this archaeological team, Eve."
"This is the head of the archaeological team, Mr. Argues." After talking about herself, Eve also introduced the chunky middle-aged man beside her to the three of them. He was the head of the archaeological team.
"Hello…"
"So that's why you came here to find me because you wanted to know about the Pokémon civilization…" After a while, after learning about their purpose from Ash and his friends, Eve nodded knowingly, and then became a little excited.
She loved everything about Pokémon civilization very much. When she learned that Ash and the other two were also interested in it, she immediately began to tell Ash, Misty, and Brock about Pokémon civilization.
From the birth of the Pokémon civilization to the culture in its heyday, Eve seemed to know it very well, telling the story vividly, as if she had once lived in that ancient civilization.
"Look, this is the clay puppet I found in the last ruin…" Eve led the three of them to the next tent, which contained the things she had excavated in other ruins before.
What is displayed in front of the three of them is a clay puppet, about 20 centimeters high and 15 centimeters wide. The clay puppet looks like a Psyduck, but it has some strange black lines on its body.
"They worship Pokémon as a supernatural power..." Eve gently stroked these clay puppets. In addition to the Psyduck shape, there are many other kinds of Pokémon shapes.
"Professor Eve, why are you so keen on Pokémon civilization?" Brock felt a little curious about this. Throughout the history of the Pokémon world, there are countless dynasties and famous civilizations.
...
"Because I'm curious..." Eve put down the clay puppet in her hand and looked at the three of Ash. "I want to know what happened 20,000 years ago that caused a dynasty to fall overnight."
"I don't believe that a powerful dynasty will be destroyed just by a meteor shower. Something must have happened that we don't understand," Eve said seriously.
"Then why not explore in the Galar Region? The Galar Region is the origin of Pokémon civilization," Misty asked suspiciously, remembering Professor Oak's words.
"I've been there a few times..." Eve shook her head slightly, "But it's a pity that the traces of Pokémon civilization have almost been wiped away. Normally, only a little bit of literature remains, not as many as in other Regions."
The three of Ash nodded in amazement. It turned out that Eve had already been to the Galar Region for archaeological research earlier.
"Professor! Professor!" Just as Eve continued to talk about Pokémon civilization, Leader Argues suddenly broke into the tent.
"What happened?!" Eve's face was serious, but there was an excited smile on Argues's face.
"Professor! We found it, we found the ruins here!"
"What?!" Everyone present was startled, and Eve was overjoyed to rush out of the tent and head to the excavation site. She wished she could see the ruins as soon as possible.
Argues, Ash, and the others followed closely behind.
