Chapter 282 Dr. Birch's Daughter Ran Away Again
"What... what exactly is going on...?"
'
"Even if the fossil pterosaur was newly born from amber and still relatively weak, it was still a ruler of the skies in ancient times, and Mr. Zeju actually defeated it with one hand..."
As Ze Shu pinned the fossil pterosaur's head down, rendering it immobile, Du Juan outside the room covered her mouth, utterly astonished by the scene.
Daigo sighed softly, shook his head, and laughed, "As expected, this guy isn't human."
"roar-!!!"
The fossil pterosaur was letting out a furious and ferocious roar.
He tried to lift his head, which was being held down by one hand.
But no matter how hard it tried, it didn't budge an inch.
Upon realizing this, the fossil pterosaur felt a tremor in its heart.
Ancient memories ingrained in its genes tell it that it is... the terminator of the skies! An untamed ancient aerial overlord! A apex predator that ravages the vast heavens!
This made the fossil pterosaur extremely proud from the moment it was born.
But now, reality tells it...
It was subdued by a human with just one hand?!
The fossil pterosaur could hardly believe it.
But that's exactly how it turned out...
"I'm letting go, you have to behave, okay?" Ze Shu said, watching the fossil pterosaur struggle and become furious under its grasp, before turning to doubt about its very existence.
"roar....
'
Trembling with fear, the fossil pterosaur instinctively roared in obedience.
So Ze Shu let go of her hand and stood up.
The fossil pterosaur was finally freed.
It raised its head in a daze, shook its dragon head and wings, and the whole dragon looked helpless, like a very bewildered rooster.
After all, being born with such a huge "setback" would leave anyone bewildered.
"A fossil pterosaur..." Ze Shu looked at it.
As a newborn, it was still getting enough nutrition and its body was somewhat small.
Its body is purplish-gray, and its surface has a rock-like texture. Given the brief contact between Yi Zeshu's "slam dunk" and its dragon head, its shell should also have a rock-like defensive capability.
Three sharp claws extended from the end of its bony wings, which it used to support itself on the ground; its tail was curled upwards, making the barbs at the tip of the tail stand straight.
Overall, the fossil pterosaur is not exactly handsome, but it has a fierce and dangerous aura that would frighten an ordinary person if they saw it.
Just like the Archaeopteryx that just jumped into Little Blue's arms.
Seeing the fossil pterosaur looking like a bewildered rooster, it finally calmed down, jumped out of Xiao Lan's arms, and hopped over to the fossil pterosaur, looking at it curiously.
"quack!"
The Archaeopteryx greeted everyone—a newborn bird, curious about everything.
Upon hearing this greeting, the fossil pterosaur opened its ferocious maw, as if to retaliate with a roar at the little bird.
but....
Ze Shu: "Hmm?"
Fossilized pterosaur: "Roar~ (°\A°)"
It forcefully swallowed the roar that was about to escape its throat.
This overlord of the sky, in just the short time since its birth, seems to have already learned the lesson that "a wise man submits to circumstances."
"These are the medical reports for two fossil Pokémon. Their physical signs indicate that they are both in good health."
"that is....
'
The staff at the fossil revival room handed the forms to Ze Shu.
"This pterosaur is much more aggressive than the other pterosaurs we've resurrected. It destroyed quite a bit of equipment during this physical examination alone."
"Of course, I'm not saying this to ask for compensation from you, Mr. Zeshu. I just hope that you will pay close attention to the condition of this Aerodactyl in your future trainer career."
"Perhaps it truly yielded to you."
"But perhaps, its submission was merely a facade born of its earlier unease."
'
Ze Shu took the form and nodded: "I understand."
He looked at the table in his hand that showed the fossil pterosaur information.
In the "Special Symptoms" section, the phrase "Manic Tendency" was specifically marked.
"This is really..."
Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth.
After thanking the researcher, Ze Shu took the form and left the fossil revival chamber. Outside, Daigo and Cuckoo, who always had his notebook in hand, were waiting, with Little Blue hopping around their feet as Archaeopteryx chicks flitted about.
Although Little Blue had just accepted the Archaeopteryx and was able to pet it on its own initiative.
But at this moment, her body was still slightly stiff. After all, it was impossible to cure ornithophobia all at once; it required gradual adaptation through daily interactions.
"Gagaga!!"
When the Zeshu came out, the Archaeopteryx, as always, warmly welcomed it with its unkempt but sincere call.
Ze Shu smiled slightly.
"Mr. Ze Shu..." Azalea began, her eyes filled with anticipation, "I also have some knowledge of fossil Pokémon, and I can help take care of them during this time..."
'
Ze Shu was stunned for a moment.
Dujuan quickly interjected, "I... I mean, my Kazuna City Gym has many empty rooms, and the facilities inside are quite good. If Mr. Zeki needs them, please just ask."
Ze Shu: "Well... thank you in advance, Azalea Pavilion Master. We'll pay you a visit."
Du Juan smiled happily and said, "No need to thank me! If you could come, I should be thanking you!"
"Well... I'll head back now..." Du Juan bowed gracefully. "I've already wasted quite a bit of time coming here after hearing that the fossils had come back to life... I still need to go back to manage the dojo and teach classes..."
"I look forward to Mr. Sawaki's arrival!"
She said that again, then jogged away.
Daigo smoothed his silver hair, watching Cuckoo's retreating figure as she ran off, and chuckled, "Although Gym Leader Cuckoo insists that she is a student in training, her understanding of Rock type is something that even the teachers at the Kazna City School would be ashamed of."
"Hmm, I don't know if it's because they've been buried deep underground for so many years, causing genetic changes, or if our fossil revival technology still needs improvement. In any case, these revived fossil Pokémon are all Rock-type."
It is said that the "patchwork fossil Pokémon" created in the Galar region avoids this specific attribute, but... well, even the most cutting-edge research community criticizes the deliberate act of creating such "patchwork fossil Pokémon"...
"—Although the assembler explained that the fossil's breakage was accidental," but...
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, no matter what."
"Anyway, the Cuckoo Gym Leader is quite interested in the fossil Pokémon. Although she was a bit too eager, she didn't actually mean any harm."
Ze Shu smiled and said, "I understand."
He teased the Archaeopteryx that came to his feet.
He added, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave now."
"Hmm..." Daigo pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Sawaki, "Actually, there's something I've wanted to do for a long time."
Ze Shu: "What?"
Daigo looked at Sawaki intently, then suddenly flipped his hair in a rather flamboyant manner.
"I want to have a battle with you, a real all-out battle. The kind where I send out my strongest Pokémon."
"So? Are you willing?"
"Device has the most advanced battlefield here."
"Don't think I only like digging for stones. But I'm also very interested in and addicted to evenly matched battles."
As he said these words, Daigo looked at Sawaki with eyes that seemed to be brimming with desire, his mouth watering.
When did Daigo turn into this flamboyant guy?!
Ze Shu felt a chill run down his spine: "I don't want to!"
"And don't look at me like that!"
Upon hearing this, Daigo instantly returned to normal, awkwardly laughing a few times and scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Michael said that as long as you extend an invitation like that, the other party will agree to any outrageous request. It seems he was wrong, or perhaps I didn't do a good enough job."
"But I am serious about this request."
It's not surprising that it was Mikoli, that slutty guy, who was in charge of the training.
Ze Shu stopped with one hand and casually said, "You disgust me so much that even if I wanted to, I wouldn't."
If it's really as Steven said, "sending out their strongest Pokémon"...
Sawaki felt that Daigo didn't need to fight anymore.
Strictly speaking, the two fake "Sinnoh Mega Masters" and the real "Time Gods" in Sinnoh are all his Pokémon, and he even carries the Poké Balls containing them with him—albeit empty ones.
But to be less strict, Rayquaza, which is hovering in the sky... if you put that red chain on it, it should count, right?
There are no such restrictions on PVP god battles in the real world.
Even the legendary beast Darkrai can pull out Darkrai and Blue Plane in a small regional tournament.
"That's all for now, I'm leaving."
Zeshu picked up the Ancestral Bird and turned to leave.
Walking on the streets of Kazna.
Archaeopteryx sometimes followed closely behind Ze Shu, and sometimes hopped behind Xiao Lan, just like a baby duck following its mother. Xiao Lan couldn't stop smiling as she watched its energetic appearance.
Although this ancestral bird was a "bird," it also had wings.
But it doesn't seem to be able to fly.
On the contrary, they are good at jumping, or bouncing.
-
Well, a certain "groundhog" squatting in a lava cave would surely feel comforted if it saw Archaeopteryx.
"There are more workers on the streets than when I first arrived," Zeki observed Kazuna City.
It seems that the collapse of the Kalu Tunnel will not be easy to repair.
Travel has become inconvenient for people in Kazna City. Even to get to Green Town, which is just "a tunnel away", people have to go around half of the Hoenn region to get there.
"This is the person who maliciously sabotaged the Kalu Tunnel!" A sudden, angry shout rang out.
This is certainly not meant to be an insult to Ze Shu.
Ze Shu looked over and saw that the resident who had been cursing was holding a "wanted poster" with a rough drawing of a black-haired woman on it, and the words "[Lava Team Fire Goose]" written below it.
"That Lava Team, they really deserve to die!" the man cursed again.
The anger of the people of Kazna towards the Lava Team was ignited by the collapse of the Kazna Tunnel.
Ze Shuzheng seemed to be deep in thought.
Suddenly, a joyful voice came from afar: "Ze Shu, is that you?!"
Ze Shu turned his head and saw a nimble, chubby man running towards him from a distance, which surprised Ze Shu slightly: "Professor Birch?"
Odora, panting, said, "It's me!"
"Sawaki, it's so good to have you here!"
He explained, "Because of the collapse of the Kalu Tunnel, the workers' repair work was repeatedly interrupted by the Roaring Egg inside the tunnel, so the League asked me to come here to handle this matter."
Ze Shu said knowingly, "I see..."
Professor Birch hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sawaki...I want to ask you for a favor!"
He didn't even notice the Archaeopteryx following at the foot of the tree, nor did he observe it with great interest. Dr. Birch's heart was clearly filled with anxiety.
Ze Shu frowned and asked, "What is it?"
Oda Scroll lowered her head, looking dejected. "Safia's gone missing again!"
Ze Shu:
'
'
Oda said, "Because the work at the Kalu Tunnel can't be completed in a short time, I was worried that there would be no one to take care of Safia, so I decided to bring her here."
"But, it must have been when they passed through the Orange Blossom Forest that she was captivated, and she even insisted on training herself in that forest."
"After I settled down here and briefly learned about the general situation of the Kalu Tunnel, I came back... and then Safia disappeared! I knew right away that Safia couldn't stand the loneliness and ran off to the Orange Blossom Forest for her so-called training."
"Ze Shu, I can't leave my work here for the time being, could I ask you for help..."
Ze Shu nodded and said, "I understand. Leave it to us."
Xiao Lan came to Ze Shu's side and said, "Shafia gets along well with us, and we like her very much."
Professor Birch finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "With Sawaki and Ran's promises, I can finally rest easy."
Petalburg Woods is a relatively safe forest, inhabited mostly by low-level Bug-type Pokémon. Occasionally encountering a Ninjazu, Beautifly, or Breloom is considered a "big boss."
Therefore, this is also a favorite spot for novice trainers or Bug Catchers.
At this moment, at the north entrance of Orange Blossom Forest.
A major battle is taking place.
"Baby Dragon! Use Leer!" Higana clenched her fist, speaking with unwavering conviction.
"Bō... Bōga!"
Baby Dragon strained to widen its eyes, trying to make its gaze "sharp" and instill fear in its opponent, a stinging beetle sent by Bug Boy.
This seems to have been a success.
The stinging beetle's eyes widened in fright, then it trembled and stiffened, and was literally "stared unconscious."
"Spintail!!!"
The bug catcher's voice was filled with grief.
Higana, hands on her hips, laughed heartily, "Baby Dragon, look at my command skills, aren't they amazing!"
"Boo!!"
The bug-catching boy shouted angrily, "You—you shameless person! You cheated!"
He glared at the Baby Dragon as it ran towards the Salamence and Roaring Moon, looking aggrieved.
A mere glare from Baby Dragon wouldn't be enough to scare his "Great General" Stingerbug into fainting—this was, of course, the off-field "intimidation" effect of Roaring Moon and Salamence.
Higana raised her head: "No matter what, I won!"
This shameless attitude was infuriating, but the bug-catcher was helpless. He could only take the powerful healing medicine given to him by Ze Shu and run away, looking utterly dejected, clutching the stinging beetle.
"Ze Shu, the bug-catching brat who was blocking the way has been chased away by the wise and mighty Queen Higana!"
"But how are we supposed to find Safia?"
Higana turned to look at the towering trees in the Orange Blossom Forest, and was slightly dumbfounded.
And then she only saw...
Ze Shu suddenly pulled out a...fat mushroom from the edge of the grass?
"How are we supposed to find it ourselves? This mushroom has been sitting here the whole time; it's bound to see everything..."
