Chapter 247 Paradox Pokémon

???

Upon hearing Daigo's request, Aoba's first reaction was:
As expected of the champion's intelligence network, he has already figured out even things that few people in Padiya know.

Of course, Aoba knew about the "Pokémon from the past" that Steven mentioned.

The Padiya League has not kept any specific information about itself, and has even deliberately blocked this information to avoid causing panic.

But secrets can't stay hidden forever. The accident in Zone Zero and the lockdown of Zone Zero led to the spread of the urban legend of "a monster from Zone Zero" throughout the cities of Padia.

Although most of it is nonsense and has no truth to it at all, it is just a "glamour moment" in journalism to attract attention, and there is no need to clarify it.

But there is one correct account, and the number of eyewitness accounts continues to increase—

In the scorching desert near Bolognese City, a monster that looks seven or eight parts like Dongar has recently appeared, but is terrifyingly large. Occasionally, humans who want to cross the desert will notice its presence from afar.

Of course, it would be impossible for a normal person to get close to such a huge creature, so what is currently circulating in Padiya are just some blurry photos.

But Qingyu, who knew more information, was well aware that the "monster from Zone Zero" was real.

How much intelligence do you know?

Aoba didn't rush to respond, but instead asked Daigo a question in return.

"Not too many, I've just heard some rumors recently."

Daigo quickly stood up, and as he spoke, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"However, judging from Teacher Yu's reaction, my guess should be correct?"

"..."

Good grief, so he was just bluffing me earlier.
Well done, Daigo! You look so handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you're actually quite well-mannered!

Qingyu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

However, even if Daigo hadn't said anything, he would have eventually gone to meet the "special Pokémon from the past" that Daigo mentioned.

Following the order of the legendary path, after collecting the three seasonings, his next target was the special individual who had successfully escaped before the lockdown of Zone Zero and was currently lurking in the Red Desert.

That was a powerful Pokémon called Majestic Fang, and also the fourth Pokémon Master on the Legendary Path, with formidable strength.

To this day, the Parthians still do not know what Hezer saw when he entered Zone Zero two hundred years ago.

But one thing is certain—

The Pokémon in his book that were clearly illogical and impossible to exist have gradually been confirmed during the exploration of Area Zero.

They are either made of various high-tech metals or have a rugged appearance, as if they came from ancient times. In short, they are individuals that have never appeared in any other region.

These things actually exist? This completely contradicts the research theories of the Pokémon world…

For these Pokémon, the Padia League temporarily adopted the content from the Book of Healers, naming them "Paradox Pokémon," or Paradox species.

Majestic Teeth is one of them.

It appears to be an ancient ancestor of Donjia, and its appearance is extremely similar to that of Donjia.

Perhaps because it has survived from ancient times to the present, it has retained its most primitive wildness. The majestic tooth's personality is completely opposite to that of the docile Donkey, and it will attack any creature that gets close to it indiscriminately.

And because Majestic Tooth seems to possess a certain degree of intelligence, after witnessing the power of humans in Zone Zero, it no longer actively attacks humans, but instead tries to stay away.

So even more than six months after the incident, its existence is still not widely known.

The Alliance is currently facing a major headache regarding this matter, but the impact of the previous Sector Zero incident was too great, and the aftermath has not yet been completely resolved. The Alliance is also particularly short-handed, and there have been no incidents of Majestic Fangs attacking humans, so they can only put it aside for the time being.

Of course, if someone could help resolve this potential problem, Chairman Ye Ci would be happy to do so.

So after thinking it over, Aoba decided to agree to Daigo's request.

After all, the difficulty in the game has been significantly reduced, and the Paradoxical creatures in Zone Zero are all ridiculously high-level. The mighty Fang, who managed to escape from the dragon's den, must be even stronger.

If I really go alone, there's a real chance things might go wrong.

With Daigo, a champion-level fighter, there's obviously no problem with that.

"If we want to see the legendary Paradox Pokémon, it's probably not possible today. Its habitat is in the scorching desert on the other side of Padia."

"So, let's go back and get ready today. I'll come to Tabletop City to find you tomorrow morning?"

"of course can."

Seeing that Qingyu had agreed, Daigo quickly nodded and smiled.

"As a fan of Teacher Yu for ten years, I really look forward to seeing you play in person."

After saying that, Daigo jumped onto the head of the Metagross next to him and quickly disappeared.

"Good heavens, a flying Metagross, huh? Is this even legal?"

Watching Daigo leave, Aoba couldn't help but let out a snort of complaint.

In earlier generations of Pokémon games, Fly was a very important HM move that allowed trainers to quickly travel between cities.

Metagross, in theory, cannot learn this move. However, in reality, it's not only flying Pokémon that can take to the skies. Pokémon like Metagross, which uses Earth's magnetism to achieve supersonic flight, and Psychic-type Pokémon that can levitate or even teleport, all have the powerful ability to carry people on journeys.

It makes sense when you think about it.

Whose flying mount is Daigo's?
Armored bird.

Like the Steelraven, it's made entirely of hard steel, and its body structure means riding it would definitely be uncomfortable...

Relatively speaking, a UFO-like structure like the Metagross would be more suitable?
While inwardly complaining, Qingyu quickly took out a Poké Ball and retrieved his companions who had finished eating.

Since I've already promised Daigo I'd go to the Booming Desert, I should head back early today to prepare.

Even with a god-level teammate like Daigo on this journey, doing more preparation can make the battles go more smoothly.

……

Thanks to the power of the secret seasoning, Milerton regained some of its strength, and its jumping ability became even stronger.

Therefore, on the return trip, it no longer needs to take a detour and can easily leap over the hillside, saving a lot of time.

Sitting on its back, Qingyu experienced countless moments of weightlessness, like riding a drop tower, and suddenly made a decision—

Restoring Milton to full power is of utmost urgency, and I also need to get myself a flying motorcycle, otherwise it's just too much of a ordeal!

By the time we got back to the Sunshine Gym, it was almost dark.

Just then, a few lines of small text suddenly flashed before Qingyu's eyes.

The main quest "Path of Legends" has been updated.

[Current Task: Collect the secret seasoning to awaken Milton's full potential. (Current Progress 3/5)]

[Reward: 1 random gold item, being distributed...]

[Reward: "The Melancholy Prince" has been awarded!]

Qingyu, who had just stepped inside, paused for a moment, then quickly recalled—

Oh, so I have a main quest?

After going on a trip and serving as a gym leader for so many days, constantly outwitting these clever kids from Orange Academy, he had almost forgotten about the mission the system had given him...

Thinking of this, as Qingyu focused his mind, a small toy made of white cloth quickly appeared in his hand.

[The Melancholy Prince (King): A seemingly ordinary rain doll, if hung outside overnight, will surely bring rain the next day!]

Another conceptual item. Did the system stuff a fathead fish into it?

Qingyu cursed secretly in his heart.

The props this time are clearly from the same series as the "Cinderella of Clear Skies" that the system gave us last time.

One is in charge of sunny days, and the other is in charge of rainy days; and they're also a prince and Cinderella...

A thought suddenly occurred to Qingyu—

What would happen if you hung them both outside to dry overnight?
I have a feeling that something terrible is going to happen, like the weather turbulence that occurs after the two Hoenn idiots meet.

It's best not to do anything reckless...

Holding the rain doll in her hand, Qingyu quickly smiled.

However, this thing came at just the right time.

Speaking of Paradox Pokémon, whether they come from the past or the future, their physical strength is greatly enhanced when the weather is sunny or in an Electric field.

That magnificent tooth must have been driven by instinct to hide in the scorching desert, where it rarely rains, after escaping from Zone Zero.
Previously, Qingyu was still pondering whether it was feasible to influence the weather by praying for rain in the desert.

It seems like there's no need to think about it anymore.

He had already tried using the Teru Teru Bozu during the last Dragon Attribute Master Tournament. The influence range of this thing is very large, almost covering the entire Padia.

Because of its absurd effects, Qingyu never used it again after the Masters Tournament.

He was also worried that using too much of it would have an impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

What if a drought occurs? Wouldn't I become a sinner?
However, if you only use it once in a while, it shouldn't be a big problem.

It often rains in Padiyah in winter, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were some "light rain" in the desert tomorrow, right?

Qingyu's thoughts gradually began to diverge.

He suddenly became curious whether this conceptual level of power could offset the risks and impacts caused by certain mythical beasts.
If it could really be done...

If one day Hoenn's inability to fly awakens, and you simply hang the Rain Doll on it, will it question its existence?
You should go back to basics before trying to grab the weather forecast!
This is just the difference between sunny and rainy days.

There are four types of weather in the Pokémon world, and maybe there will even be snowy weather and sandstorm dolls?
But if these two are used, the impact seems to be much greater than that of sunny or rainy days...

Let's wait until we get it before we talk about it!
Qingyu shook her head and quickly hung the Rain Doll at the entrance of the dojo.

With such an outrageous prop, will I be able to go anywhere and be followed by rain?

The Dragon King of the Pokémon world is actually myself?
