Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

Of course, it doesn't matter how the boy responds; the final decision rests with these two AIs.

If they could be easily persuaded, then they could not be said to have inherited the knowledge and temperament of the doctors. Because the intelligent program written according to personality is no different from the original body, when faced with something they are determined to do, the two of them would be like Tauros who cannot be held back.

“Dr. Orin, Mr. Fortu, I think we shouldn’t make a hasty decision about how to deal with the time machine. Seeing is believing, so we should go and see what the time machine looks like before making a judgment.”

To put an end to this debate with conflicting opinions, as Nan Yin said, it's a bit too hasty to reach a conclusion before we've even seen the time machine itself.

“I overlooked that point. Come with me, gentlemen.”

The two doctors exchanged a glance, then nodded and led the group deeper into the area.

The time machine was located slightly below the Zero Zone Research Institute. As the elevator descended straight down, creating a slight feeling of weightlessness, murmurs of discussion arose among the group.

"Doctors, may I ask why the time machine is placed at the very bottom of Sector Zero?"

"The Zero Zone Research Institute is located in the center of the giant crater, surrounded by a huge crystal. Further below, there is a cavity made entirely of crystal. Due to the energy required for the time machine to operate and the losses along the way, Futu and I set up the location here."

"Yes, when the location was initially decided, the two of you also consulted with the alliance. At the beginning, we discussed security at length."

With a soft murmur, Ye Ci's gaze never left the two doctors.

The passing of a former friend made it difficult for her to suppress the overwhelming emotions within her, even though she maintained a polite smile as always.

More than the interests of the regional industries, she was troubled by how to deal with the AI ​​they left behind and how to comfort Pipa.

With a myriad of thoughts swirling within her, Nan Yin also did not loosen her grip on her friend's hand. Going to Zone Zero was her decision, so as an outsider, Koelni, who was only accompanying her, inevitably had little to talk about and felt a bit disappointed by the coldness.

Therefore, as the more mature party, she should take care of her friend's feelings, after all, caring and concern are always two-way.

Furthermore, they were no longer the couples who needed to test each other's relationship at the beginning; even they themselves could not be sure what the complex feelings they harbored were.

With her mind free of complicated thoughts, Nan Yin closed her eyes again, extending her senses.

Just as Orin said, at the very bottom of the elevator, an enormous amount of energy was brewing inside a void filled with crystals. Although waveguides and telekinesis were enough to perceive mind and matter, the overwhelming amount of energy would still confuse one's senses.

However, just as she was withdrawing her senses, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be an open space below the elevator.

The effects of the time machine were too mystical for Nan Yin to be certain that they were the result of technology. If there was any infiltration of external forces, then it should be the Tailebagos described in the Book of Zhu and Zi.

Interesting.

She thought she was close to the truth about Zone Zero and the crystallization, but reality gave her even more to discover.

"We've arrived."

The doctor's reminder interrupted her plan to extend her psychic powers. This one sentence also made everyone's hearts tighten, and they faced the ultimate truth.

The door opened, and a dazzling light burst forth before everyone's eyes. It was countless smoothly cut crystalline gemstones, and even with the naked eye, one could tell that their purity far exceeded that of any crystals seen before.

"This is the time machine that Futu and I researched and created using Taijing energy."

As if it were commonplace, the two AIs spoke in a lukewarm tone. To them, no matter how large and magnificent the time machine was, it had now become an obstacle.

The modern Padiya does not need paradoxical species.

The circular structure slowly rose, and the upward passage had already pierced through the dome, leading to the area located on the surface of the giant pit.

"This is the exit for transferring Paradox Pokémon. Regardless of which choice you make, you must place either the Book of Crimson or the Book of Purple inside as a key to activate the management process."

The two books she brought with her were kept in Ye Ci's hands, and now, even the usually composed chief champion bit her lip and looked hesitant.

When they actually arrived in front of the time machine, the two AIs stopped urging everyone to make a choice and instead showed some concern.

"I must remind you that if we want to shut down the time machine, it is because our will is rooted in the program, which originates from the 'Paradise Guardian System' created by the doctors. Its primary purpose is to maintain the stability of Zone Zero, that is, the time machine."

“Once the former’s operation is hindered, our actions will be forcibly taken over by the program. At that time, you will face a combat AI that is only there to defeat the obstacle, which is us.”

Hearing this, Peony finally understood her previous doubts.

"So, that's why Dr. Orin and Mr. Futu can't shut down the time machine on their own."

Without denying it, they continued to speak, the red light in their eyes growing even more intense.

"Yes. Not only that, my memory data also contains the doctors' analysis of the battles between the champions of the Padia region. According to the calculation results, we, who are replaced by the battle AI, can perfectly perform these skills."

"Even Nemo and Yeci, your strategies and habits in battle have been included. How confident are you in facing those paradoxical species?"

Hearing what the two AIs said, Nemo's enthusiasm only increased, but she also had some concerns: could she really defeat the program, including all the previous champions?

This is not a friendly spar. If something goes wrong and we lose, not only will I get injured, but my teammates will also be in a very bad situation.

"No, judging by your tone, even excluding Nemo and me, there is still a trainer here who can definitely defeat you. She is not from Padia, but from Kalos, where Mega Evolution is prevalent."

Looking at the white-haired girl beside him, Ye Ci finally made up his mind, and also revealed a bit of apology to Paipa.

she says:

"The time machine must be shut down; the safety of the people must be placed above all other interests."

"Nanyin...me."

Upon hearing this, the brown-haired boy clenched his fists, clearly wanting to say something. He cherished his family ties and was reluctant to part with the long-awaited reunion, but how could he succumb to such a small request in the face of greater righteousness?

Fortunately, Nan Yin, who had lived two lives, had already discerned these clues from her words and actions.

She is an adult, a teacher, and even if it's only for a few days, she has to shoulder the happiness of these children, so—

"Don't worry, Papa, I know what you want to say, and I know your concerns. It's not just you, it's also the same for President Ci and everyone else."

Raising her eyes, she looked directly at the boy who had his head bowed, seeing his awkward and pitiful appearance.

With a slight upturn of her lips, as if bathed in a spring breeze, she smiled confidently.

"Shutting down the time machine is the only option, but the needs of the children cannot be ignored. The number of paradoxes should be controlled. And even after the program is completely shut down, your mission is not over, Doctors."

"Buyi!"

With a soft call, the petite Eevee leaped onto Nan Yin's shoulder, just like the unveiling gesture in countless films.

"Since our match record isn't in the program, then it'll be me, me and Korni—"

She had not forgotten her friend. Seeing the girl beside her, she was both surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but nod in encouragement.

The keystone on his chest gleamed, and the pure white crystal around his neck materialized from the ethereal, reenacting the legendary descent.

That was the real White Dragon.

"To end all of this."

Chapter 227 The Clash Between Paradox and Evolution

"..."

Hearing the confidence in the girl's words, the two AIs looked at each other in silence, neither of them speaking for a moment.

Based on their battle records at Orange Academy, they did some analysis of Nan Yin's information, but the personality model they came up with deviated from reality. This may be the difference between humans and intelligent programs.

At present, everyone trusts the girl. Even Ye Ci nodded slightly and slowly placed the Book of Vermilion and the Book of Purple into the slot of the time machine.

"Wait a minute, we must give you a final reminder. Once the device carrying the Doctor's ID is activated, the Time Machine will be forcibly shut down. At that point, the Paradise Guardian Program will inevitably take control of us and launch an attack on you all."

This is the final reminder.

"It's alright, Korne, let's go together."

Holding her friend's delicate hand, Nan Yin did this for no other reason than to give her daughter confidence, confidence to stand by her side.

She never needed to chase the sun, because the sun would naturally tilt to her side, bringing warmth to her face.

"Ok!"

Although she was stunned for a moment, when their fingertips touched and those gentle eyes looked down at her, Korni couldn't help but feel overjoyed and took the hand she had been longing for.

The books sank into the drawers, like a key unlocking a lock; the next moment, alarms blared, echoing in our ears.

[ID detected. Time Machine will be shut down immediately. Process 2%, 6%...]

[The connection was blocked, and the emergency shutdown has been cancelled. The Time Machine is now restarting.]

"Are you ready, trainers?"

Silently watching the two girls leaning against each other in front of her, Orin lowered her eyes, still unable to suppress her worry.

Whether in the past or present, as AIs embodying the PhD's personality, they have always cared about young children, and even if they had to shut down the time machine, they would not want anyone to be sacrificed.

Faced with the former's question, Nan Yin did not let the smile on her lips disappear. She simply turned to look at her own children, seeing their solemn yet lovely faces, and also seeing the hope and trust in Nemo's eyes.

she says:

"of course."

From the moment she stepped into Zone Zero, or even earlier, she was fully prepared to never lower her arms to protect anyone, no matter who she faced or which legendary epic she was facing.

[Aurean AI and Fortu AI have switched to sleep mode and started the battle program.]

"Then, I'll leave everything to you..."

They lowered their heads one after another, and as the combat program ran, the tray carrying the time machine slowly rose.

As the rosy clouds converged and the view rose higher, a rumbling tremor accompanied the challengers. Following the light, two Master Balls fell simultaneously and were caught by the two people on the high platform.

The Master Ball swayed incessantly, and the paradoxical species that had been transferred inside had already accepted the former's control. At the same moment, the two doctors slowly raised their heads, revealing the red light in their eyes.

"Hostile target detected. Execute blocking command."

From that moment on, they were no longer AIs who inherited the doctor's personality, but combat robots controlled by programs, wholeheartedly eliminating obstacles.

So--

"Scorpion King".

He wanted to call out the azure scorpion beast, but before it could leap into the air, he saw a small, light beast protecting him and calling out repeatedly.

"Muma!"

It is a flapping wing.

Perhaps it was the companionship along the way, perhaps it was the warmth that captivated her, or perhaps it was a desire to retaliate against those who had bullied her in the past. Seeing the paradoxical species manifesting in the distance, the child volunteered, waving her hair ribbon towards Nanyin.

Although she hesitated for a moment, the girl quickly accepted it. Since the other party was willing to trust her, she would not refuse.

A strong trainer will not complain about changes in the environment, and should make good use of the strengths and weaknesses of their companions, adjusting the balance of advantages and disadvantages during battles.

As a Ghost/Fairy type Pokémon, Vibranium excels in resistances, and judging from its size, its speed should be equally impressive.

"Korne".

"Okay, go ahead, Gallade!"

A flash of red light appeared, and at that moment, Orin AI and Futu AI successively threw out the spheres in their palms, releasing the Pokémon inside from the carrier that had just fallen from the time machine.

With its crimson wingspan and wide wingspan, the crescent-shaped dragon soared through the air, glaring angrily at the crowd.

An ancient Pokémon, Roaring Moon.

Cast in metal, with a body of steel, a humanoid Pokémon wielding a gleaming silver blade raises its steel sword, silently on guard.

Future Pokémon: Iron Warrior.

"This is the pulse from the ancient and the future!"

The two doctors, controlled by the park's guardian program, spoke with an even more flamboyant tone than before, as if they were imbued with the fervor stored within the program. They exclaimed in admiration as they crushed the capsule-like object.

Just like the description in the words, with the blessing of driving energy, no matter which paradoxical species it is, its momentum is far superior to before.

Has your ability improved?

Looking at the two standing there, Nan Yin understood. If Paradox Pokémon also have different levels, then these two Pokémon should be the most suitable for battle according to the program's judgment.

In terms of overall strength, the two creatures based on Salamence and Gardevoir are indeed powerful. However, type doesn't mean everything; the trainer's strategy is the key to this battle.

Even if a program takes over based on information, it will not take lives in a wild fighting style. Therefore, the rules of the battle are still similar to those of doubles.

Without further exchange, the Iron Warrior stomped down, shattering the crystal along with it. In an instant, the future machine leaped in front of him and slashed down the blade he was holding.

"Soul Impact".

The emotionless instruction echoed in her ears, but fortunately, the girl's perception was even faster. With just a glance, Korni understood her friend's thoughts.

"Leaf Blade!"

Like a samurai in close combat, Gallade also uses its momentum to push off and use the blade on its arm to block the descending blade.

Clang—

Sparks flew everywhere, but the clash of forces was ultimately manifested in the most direct way. The Iron Warrior remained silent, only pressing the blade down inch by inch, forcing Gallade to bend its knees.
