Raifort took out her camera, snapping several photos of Ting-Lu for later research.
Next, she went over to Chien-Pao.
Chien-Pao looked at the human with its icy blue, majestic eyes.
"Chien-Pao..." Raifort curiously remarked, "So the sword handle and blade form the teeth on each side? It looks broken, how strange. Did it break once it became a Pokemon, or was it always...? "
"Hmm, wait, how could the King buy a broken sword? Or maybe it was originally used as a weapon in its broken state?"
This is indeed a question worth exploring.
"Click, click!"
The camera captured the image of Chien-Pao's broken sword-like teeth.
Then, Raifort moved next to Wo-Chien.
She marveled at Wo-Chien's body, formed by wooden scrolls:
"So many wooden scrolls together, truly a long masterpiece!"
Naoki also showed interest: "Does that mean Wo-Chien once recorded some information?"
Raifort nodded: "Yes, but unfortunately, the writing has blurred... What kind of text was written on the scrolls that once caught the King's interest?"
Naoki looked at Wo-Chien and saw some remaining undecipherable blurry characters on it.
These were obviously inscribed by human hands; even Reversing Cuisine couldn't restore them.
Finally, there was Chi-Yu.
Raifort gazed at the small, warmly flaming Fish-type Pokemon, murmuring:
"Beads, revered for their sanctity, were often worn during rituals, usually hung around the neck as a pendant. But Chi-Yu wears as many as four..."
"Are they decorations for paired parts like ears and wrists? Or were the rites performed by four people...?"
"Beads used to exorcise evil, what did they go through to be called Treasures of Ruin... this mystery deepens, ah~ My curiosity is gradually being satisfied!"
Raifort excitedly snapped a photo of Chi-Yu.
"With this, the investigation of Treasures of Ruin is complete!"
Raifort reviewed the pictures on her camera, then said to Naoki:
"Though there are still some mysteries, let me interpret them myself next! Thank you so much for your help, Naoki."
"You're welcome." Naoki thought to himself, he wasn't without gain either.
This journey of helping left him with four Auspicious Pokemon on his ranch, a big profit indeed.
Raifort smiled slightly: "To be honest, I intended to personally investigate the Treasures of Ruin and keep them for myself."
"But unfortunately, my obsession likely couldn't break the seals of those four shrines... Thanks to your untainted mind, the investigation was completed."
"Phew! Since that's the case, my long-desired treasures will be guarded by you from now on!"
Naoki was about to say something.
Just then, there came a knock on the classroom door.
Naoki was slightly taken aback.
Soon, he saw another Raifort walking in from outside.
Witnessing this, a big question mark appeared above Naoki's head.
?
However, Raifort merely smiled slightly and turned to ask the other "Raifort": "Class is over? You weren't discovered, were you?"
The "Raifort" nodded, a light flashed across its body.
In the next moment, "Raifort" vanished, replaced by a Demon Fox Pokemon with gray-black fur and pale blue eyes.
Zoroark!
Combining what Raifort just said, Naoki instantly realized what was going on.
Raifort, the history teacher, had Zoroark transform into her likeness to substitute for her in teaching the students!
Naoki was stunned, you could pull this off?
"Can Zoroark speak?" Naoki asked a question on his mind.
A Zoroark that couldn't speak human language, how did it teach the class?
Upon hearing this, Raifort and Zoroark looked at him.
"Of course, it can't speak, but Zoroark can use its illusion-making and bewildering abilities to make the students think it's me teaching. This ability, I specifically trained with Zoroark before!"
Naoki: "..."
He could already picture Raifort letting Zoroark substitute her class while she sneaks off to tomb raid.
Practically a devil!
"But now, class is over, and I have no more classes today. Would you like to tour the school?" Raifort glanced at her Rotom Phone's schedule and suggested.
Naoki was indeed interested in wandering around Paldea Academy.
Thus, he nodded in agreement: "Sure."
Naoki returned Ting-Lu and the others to their Poke Balls, then followed Raifort with Koraidon to explore the ancient academy.
"Paldea Academy has a history of 800 years, since its founding, there have been two academies within."
"One is Orange Academy, the other is Naranja Academy. Although they have different names, their teaching directions are the same."
"Each year, a Pokemon battle is held between the two academies to determine the most powerful academy and students."
"In addition, there's an internal championship, which is very lively, participated by not only students but also us teachers."
