Chapter 1233 Ancient Water Spirit
Jinhui Town.
Entrance to Zone Zero.
After several months, this place has become quite lively.
The long tunnel has a solid cement floor, and large trucks frequently come and go, transporting various supplies.
Wearing hard hats, Machamp, Iron Fist, and other "laborer" Pokémon came and went. Some carried cement bags, some shouldered I-beams, and others pushed two-wheeled carts, churning and churning as they moved forward.
What are they planning to build?
Kashiwa and Miller looked around curiously.
Peony explained, "The president plans to build a protective net around the mountain and reinforce its structure to prevent individuals like Tu Zhenbao from escaping by chance."
Ok!
It's practically a prison for imprisoning paradoxical Pokémon!
Kashiwagi secretly grumbled, but he actually strongly supported the Padia Alliance's approach.
Even Millerton and Howling Tail, whom he had "influenced," were no good; they were either petty and vindictive or easily angered, manic, and thoughtless.
It is easy to see that if Paradoxical Pokémon were to enter the natural world, it would inevitably cause great chaos.
The "Shawshank" of Pokémon Paradox – Majestic Fang, the master of the Earthquake Pokémon, has become the tyrant of the desert.
Nemo laughed and said, "The changes inside are so great that you definitely won't believe it!"
"I see it."
The moment Kashiwa stepped out of the tunnel, the brand-new Zone Zero gate came into view.
Compared to the dilapidated domed building of the past, the gate now resembles the high-speed rail station building of the previous life, with a crystal-clear glass wall on the exterior, through which the interior can be vaguely seen.
Upon entering the gate, the platform where one would normally need to take a Pokémon to land has been transformed into a large elevator and escalator, operating non-stop to transport various construction materials.
"These were all suggestions from Dr. Futu. He said that the lack of funding in the past led to the relatively simple observatory, and now that the alliance has support, it is natural to make up for the 'regrets'."
As Peony spoke, she looked at Papa.
This regret undoubtedly stems from Dr. Futu himself, which shows how much he lacked funds at the time.
This also shows that the Padiya League did not pay enough attention to it.
The genius who invented the Crystal Beads was left to conduct his own research in Zone Zero, and he didn't even know he was dead.
If it were an Oreo, they would have started making offerings long ago!
Ultimately, it was because the Padmati people had too many people and too much wealth, unlike the Orei people who had little land and poor soil.
Even Pokémon wouldn't want to live in such a land, and if mining weren't possible, most humans wouldn't be able to stay either.
Successfully arrived inside Zone Zero.
Kashiwagi glanced at the newly rebuilt boardwalk. "Have all the wild Pokémon in the vicinity been driven away?"
"No, it's placed elsewhere."
Nemo chuckled and said, "Sector Zero is much bigger than we thought! We've probably only explored a quarter of it so far!"
"Not there."
A multi-faceted phone flew out of the pocket, displaying an aerial view of Parthia on its screen.
The zeroth district covers an area at least one-ninth the size of Parthia, and that's assuming it's built on flat ground; in reality, it's a deep valley that can be descended continuously.
Surrounding the deep valley are huge, gentle slopes.
The multi-faceted phone wasn't sure exactly how many Paradox Pokémon Dr. Faltu had summoned, but it felt it could accommodate a great many.
"Don't paradoxical Pokémon often attack the construction team?"
Looking at the dense tire tracks on the ground, Kashiwagi could easily imagine the scene of the paradoxical Pokémon group getting angry as their peaceful lives were disturbed.
Nemo affirmed, "So the Four Heavenly Kings have been stationed nearby all this time."
"Ah, gah!"
Millerton couldn't help but jump around on the spot, like an hyperactive ape whose energy couldn't be released.
Kashiwagi understood what it meant, "Go ahead, but don't cause too much trouble, or I'll beat you up."
"Gah!"
Milton clearly didn't listen. As soon as he received permission, he rushed to the deepest part of Sector Zero and searched tirelessly for Milton.
Milton's obsession was to derive a sense of superiority from the opponent who had once severely wounded him.
How can it live freely if it doesn't stomp the old man hard into the mud?
It can only be said that while Millerton may have forgotten what it felt like to be hungry, he hasn't forgotten who caused it to go hungry.
So what if I've already reported it?
He'll hold this grudge for a lifetime!
Piper snorted, "You're so excited now, don't let Guleton beat you up again and come back crying to you."
"Haha, hard to say."
Kashiwagi believed that after Guleton's defeat, he must have tried to train as well.
However, there is a huge difference between Pokémon with trainers and wild Pokémon.
It's difficult to know anything about wild Pokémon when it comes to type advantages and disadvantages alone.
He pulled out a Poké Ball. "I almost forgot about you."
boom!
"Ee-ah~"
The star singer (self-proclaimed) Roaring Tail makes a grand entrance!
It blinked its bright yellow eyes, curiously surveying its surroundings, "Ee-ah? Ee-ah..."
Why did you call it out? Do you want it to fight...?
The roar of its tail gradually faded, and the place it saw was both strange and familiar, with an unsettling scent filling the air.
This is Zone Zero.
It froze, its eyes wide open as if confirming something, and its breathing became somewhat heavy.
A few seconds later it suddenly turned around and saw Bai Mu's smiling face.
"You're back in your hometown, are you happy—hmm?"
Before he could finish speaking, tears welled up in his eyes, his mouth was tightly shut, and his cheeks bulged.
It seemed angry, yet also incredulous and resentful, "Eee? Eee?"
This gesture left Pipa and the others dumbfounded.
Why is it crying?
"Too excited to go back to your hometown?"
"I don't think so..."
The perceptive peony sensed something and was about to voice her guess.
But Cypress had already stepped forward, quickly wiped away the tears from Roaring Tail, and then pinched its cheeks and rubbed them hard.
"I never said I was going to abandon you! Idiot! Jigglypuff! If you're not smart enough, don't try to think like other Pokémon! We're back for an adventure!"
Kashiwa was utterly speechless at the roaring tail.
Undoubtedly, when the evil chubby guy saw Sector Zero, he didn't feel much joy. He even thought that he was too noisy and that his trainer wanted to throw him away.
Although Roaring Tail is clumsy, it can tell that few of Kashiwagi's other companions like him.
If you are abandoned, no one will speak up for you.
The evil, chubby dog felt wronged and cried for the first time, something it had never done before, except for its angry roars.
And it was a silent sob.
This shows just how heartbroken Roaring Tail was.
Fortunately, it was overthinking things; how could Kashiwagi possibly release its own Pokémon?
Even though it's irritable, not very bright, loves to make noise, often doesn't listen to what you say, and has poor luck with babies.
But some things are meant to last a lifetime.
Besides, it's cute enough!
Kashiwa vigorously rubbed Roaring Tail's face, while the latter was immersed in the relief and joy of not having to return to a lonely life, and it took several seconds for it to react.
"Eeee!?"
Did you insult me?!
The roaring tail glared at the trainer, baring its ferocious fangs, and relentlessly swung its paw, "Eeeee! Eeeee!"
They insult me for no reason! How despicable!
Nowadays, Roaring Tail knows that when people call it Fat Ding, it may not mean any harm; it might just be a misunderstanding.
But when trainers call it Jigglypuff, it's 100% malicious!
The kind that doesn't involve any goodwill!
Kashiwa grabbed its soft and highly elastic lips and said to the three people who were staring in disbelief, "I'm sorry, you've made a fool of yourselves."
Nemo exclaimed, "Your Roaring Tail is so lively! My Iron Tracks go dormant when we're not fighting, look."
boom!
A flash of white light revealed round, gleaming silver iron tracks.
This futuristic version of Donphan looks like a sphere covered with half a fluorescent wheel. After observing its surroundings with its evil electronic eyes, it curls up into a ball and enters standby mode.
"Perhaps it's its personality."
Kashiwa had observed it last night; compared to the energetic Roaring Tail, Iron Tracks did indeed seem very lazy and ate less.
Will this be a common problem in future versions?
Milton is clearly different; the Cyber Giant Lizard is very active and, regardless of whether it's active or not, it will eat a bunch of sandwiches.
Moreover, we eat as much as we can, and absolutely nothing is left overnight.
Seeing that Howling Tail's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Kashiwa released its mouth, glared at it, and said, "As punishment for misunderstanding me, you are not allowed to bark on the road ahead!"
"babble--"
"Um!?"
"..."
Roaring Tail looked like it was about to cry again, its eyes squeezing into angry crescents.
You're just bullying me!
Kashiwagi pretended not to notice its expression and called to Nemo and the others, "Let's not delay, let's go."
They have to go to Blueberry Academy in a couple of days; their time to explore Zone Zero is limited.
The three nodded and continued chatting as they went, just like they had for the past six months. Apart from the fact that the guardrails along the way had changed from wood to stainless steel and the road had become exceptionally smooth, there seemed to be no difference.
Are you still afraid of the iron bag?
Cypress smiled and asked Peony.
Pipa: "Iron Bag? Ah~ you mean that paradoxical Pokémon that looks like a Delibird?"
"Yes, the dragonman also subdued one, but I haven't seen him for a long time and don't know the status of that iron bundle."
Cypress nodded slightly.
Peony's complexion wasn't good; she was naturally afraid.
The sight of her head spinning 360 degrees in the iron bundle terrified her so much that she couldn't sleep at night.
It was only because Kashiwagi and the others were sleeping next to her that she felt a little safe.
Nemo laughed and said, "The best way to overcome fear is to face it! Peony, go and tame one!"
"...Not Eevee, I don't want it."
Peony turned her head away and refused without hesitation.
The group chatted and laughed as they quickly arrived at the first observation station.
Like the gate, this place has been rebuilt and exists as an outpost for the Padia Alliance to explore the Zero District.
Most of the engineering equipment is located here and will not be driven out to deeper areas in a high-profile manner.
Being unafraid of being besieged is one thing, but the damage to machinery caused by the battle is another.
Here, Kashiwagi saw the nine-year-old Four Heavenly Kings, Happi, riding a great bronze elephant.
"Sister Nemo~ Sister Peony~ Brother Papa~ Oh~ It's Brother Kashiwagi!"
The adorable little girl slid down from the trunk of the bronze elephant to the ground, then happily ran over, asking, "You guys came to play in Zone Zero?"
"Yes, it's been a long time, Miss Poppi."
he said with a smile.
Poppi cupped her chubby cheeks in her hands, and said shyly, "Oh dear~ you don't need to be so polite~"
Although she was only one year older than the boy, she looked much younger, giving the impression of someone who had just started first grade.
This also makes most people who know her extremely fond of her.
The group planned to reach the third observation station today, so they couldn't stay at the first observation station for long. After a brief chat, they set off.
Be careful!
Bopi shouted and waved, and the bronze elephant next to her also raised its trunk and waved.
-
Continue moving downwards.
Zone Zero gradually returned to its original quiet state.
Roaring Tail took the lead, skillfully guiding the group forward.
Ever since it realized that Kashiwagi wasn't going to abandon it, it regained its energetic self.
If it weren't forbidden from speaking, it would probably be singing right now.
hateful!
The thought of how its trainer had tormented it made its roaring tail unable to hide its anger.
It swished its large tail in frustration, sending the surrounding weeds slapping and flying everywhere.
Papa, who had been following the news closely, clicked his tongue and said, "This is really exciting."
"What? You want to tame one too?"
"I asked with a smile," said Kashiwagi.
Pipa nodded and then shook his head. Nemo became interested and asked, "You also want to tame a Howling Tail?"
The peony silently cast its watchful gaze upon them.
"..."
Pipa was exasperated by his best friend's keen senses. He raised his hands in surrender and sighed, "It's not Roaring Tail, it's a different Pokémon."
The name was mentioned frequently, and the howling tail in front turned its head curiously.
"babble--"
It had barely made a sound when it seemed to remember something, quickly covered its mouth, and glared angrily at its trainer.
This combination of obedience and disobedience amused and frustrated Kashiwagi.
"Alright, alright, just say it, I'm afraid you'll choke on it."
"Ee-ah!"
The roar that was unleashed from its mouth immediately made the tail happy.
Piper continued, "It's called the Groundwing in Zhu's book, and it looks like a fire moth."
"Crawling Wings!"
The phone displays multiple images, one a simple drawing from Zhu Zhishu's book, and the other from a magazine. "This magazine says it was reconstructed from a fossil of the fire moth."
What the hell is this Volcano fossil...?
Cypress's lips twitched.
Not only have no fossils of Volcano moths been found in the archaeological community, but their lifespan is so long that no Volcano trainer has ever witnessed their death.
"Quite cute."
He gave his evaluation.
Piper laughed, “Right? I also think it’s cute, but looking at howltail and Gurletton… I think I’ll have a hard time handling it.”
The gray-haired youth hung his head in disappointment.
“That is indeed a problem,” Kashiwagi agreed.
Ancient Pokémon are indeed not so easy to deal with, but this is based on the premise that he himself is quite strong and can control Roar Tail.
Unless Pipa encounters a lazy individual like Iron Tracks.
"Try it!"
Nemo encouraged Pipa, "Maybe it's perfect for you! Catching and raising Pokémon is so much fun!"
Peony did not offer any opinion; she was prejudiced against Paradoxical Pokémon.
During the discussion.
Bai Mu suddenly looked up and saw a familiar green figure running quickly across the cliff face.
Then a terrifying roar came from afar, and some kind of huge thing was rapidly approaching, making heavy, muffled thuds.
Kashiwagi had good eyesight and spotted the guy immediately.
"Suiki... no, the ancient Suiiki!"
