Chapter 219 Ze Shu CPU Talebagos
"Hmph, looks like you two know each other."
Looking at Milton and Guleton, Talebagos seemed bewildered and surprised, as if it couldn't believe how these two motorcycle lizards had gotten here.
Ze Shu crossed his arms and immediately let out a cold snort.
"So you sent these two things to 'attack' us, how do you intend to settle this score?"
Talebagos: ? ?
Millerton and Gulerton looked even more bewildered: "Gah?!"
They had no idea that they had been "sent out" by the poor little turtle in front of them.
How could this be possible?! They are the mighty "Winged King" and "Iron Serpent," how could they be commanded by this little turtle!
Millardon and Guleton absolutely do not believe this.
But then...
"Bago?!"
Talebagos called out to Zeshu. And this familiar voice startled Milton and Guleton—it was the voice that had summoned them from the time machine to wreak havoc.
For some reason, Milton and Guleton felt a sense of closeness to the voice, as if it were a mother. The subtle energy conveyed by the voice made them feel incredibly warm, so they did as it was told without much thought.
But now.
They perceive this "mother" as...
It's just a tiny turtle?!
"Huh?!"
Upon realizing this, Guleton's mouth dropped open, and he stood there dumbfounded, looking just like a stunned pufferfish.
How do these tiny turtles even come into being?!
Were their eggs really that small?!
But ignoring or rather, failing to understand their astonishment, Talebagos looked at Ze Shu, his eyes filled with aggrieved accusation:
"Bago!!"
Why did it launch an "attack"?
Isn't the goal to destroy that "evil" Laku element?
But you, you wicked villain, protected this evil thing! You allowed this evil energy to exist!
Its own energy has been completely drained, and it is now extremely weak!
Bad guy! He's a bad guy!
Talebagos was about to utter "turtle filth" to curse Zeshu.
But Ze Shu interrupted, "Do you know that your attack almost destroyed our plan to completely eradicate the Laku element? If you had succeeded, this evil Laku element might have existed in the world forever!"
"You bad turtle! You wicked turtle!"
Talebagos: ? ? ?
This is...
The guilty party accuses the innocent first?!
It was clearly the one that wanted to call Ze Shu a bad guy, so why did Ze Shu call it a "bad turtle" first?!
It's not a bad turtle!!
Talebagos puffed out its chest, its face flushed, wanting to retort, but after opening its mouth and making a few "bago" sounds, it couldn't utter a word and immediately froze on the spot.
It was bewildered.
Ze Shu snorted and said, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Exactly! You're a super bad guy!
Talebagos really wanted to say that.
But then it looked at Olynius, who was still happily circling its legs at Ze Shu's feet, and understood its feelings at that moment. Talebagos couldn't bring itself to say those words.
It had just purified Orion and Saltstone.
More or less, they also came into contact with the uncomfortable emotions and memory fragments of Orinu and Saltstone when they were tainted by the Laku element.
Trapped in a cramped, suffocating enclosure, unable to escape, yet driven by the frenzy of the Laku element, he keeps slamming his head against the glass, causing his forehead to bleed profusely. However, the Laku element also has some positive effects: his wounds heal quickly, and he doesn't faint. He can only keep slamming his head against the glass, endlessly.
Those truly evil people used this to study the effects of Laku element.
Orion and his experimental subjects, trapped in glass enclosures, received no attention. Living was good, of course; even dying would elicit a "what a pity" assessment... perhaps that would be considered a compliment to their "qualification" as experimental subjects.
Looking back now, Talebagos felt a deep sense of empathy and despair for their initial despair, a feeling tinged with a touch of numbness.
And the lives of these experimental subjects will likely remain in this hopeless state until Orion and the others can no longer endure it and die.
But someone broke through this despair.
He defeated the real villain who had been studying them, then smashed the glass domes that were trapping them, rescuing these numb Pokémon trapped inside and giving them warmth to live in.
Finally, they were brought to the Talebagas, thousands of meters underground, to receive a cure.
Now, the image of the "person" who broke the glass cover is gradually overlapping with the "bad guy" in front of me.
Talebagos remained silent for a long time before turning his head away:
"Bago, Bago..."
Okay, fine, I admit it, you're probably not a bad person...
But Talebagos gave in.
Ze Shu pressed on, saying, "Then you, the turtle who attacked us 'good people,' aren't you a bad turtle too!"
"Do you know that while your actions may have caused some short-term damage to the evil Laku element, it's only a small, insignificant amount. The real damage is yet to come!"
"And if we could study this small amount of Laku element, even more thoroughly than the enemy, how beneficial do you think that would be for eliminating the Laku element? That's the best way to deal with the enemy!"
"And you, Talebagos, tried to destroy all of this, and even nearly killed the two doctors—so you're the bad turtle!"
"Olinio, do you think I'm right?"
Orion didn't quite understand, but it glanced at Talebagos, the little turtle who had healed it, and hesitated slightly. However, when it looked at Zeshu, its unconditional trust in Zeshu overwhelmed its gratitude towards Talebagos.
Orion nodded decisively:
"F-Fuff!"
Ze Shu calls you a bad guy, so you're a bad guy!
Talebagos: "Bago???"
It fell into self-doubt.
Could it be that what it does is something only a villain would do?
Talebagos's mind went blank, his face was pale.
finally.
Talebagos still "pleaded guilty".
It slumped back onto its star-crystallized tortoise shell, dejectedly declaring, "Do whatever you want with it—slice it, make it into tortoise soup, it's all up to you. It's guilty."
Higana immediately exclaimed, "Really? There's turtle soup?"
The giant claws of the cliff crab, the treasure of the rock wall, made her eyes light up with delight. Although this crystal turtle doesn't seem to have much meat to cook, it has lived underground for so long, so who knows, it might be even more delicious than the cliff crab!
Talebagos stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "B-Bago?!"
You really want to stew and eat me?!
Seeing the greedy Xijiana, it was so frightened that it fell off its shell and crashed to the ground with a crisp "bang".
"Okay, you're not allowed to launch attacks on Sector Zero on the ground without reason anymore. Even if you sense the evil Laku element, you have to contact us first, understand?"
"Bago, Bago!"
"Now, deactivate the 'alarm' in Zone Zero above—all the crystals are bright red, it looks terrible. Let those clustered Paradox Pokémon take a break too."
"Bago..."

"Oh, and also, these two 'thugs' you summoned."
"I've recruited him!"
"They're no longer your henchmen, they're my henchmen! Understand?"
"Bago?!"
Talebagos' eyes widened.
The "thugs" Ze Shu mentioned—Millerton and Gulerton—also looked completely bewildered. In fact, they had been bewildered ever since Ze Shu released them into the Great Void of Zero.
"What, can't you agree?"
"Bago, Bago!"
Talebagos hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.
Milton and Guleton: "Gah!"
Why didn't you ask them for their opinions?
But when Leton looked at Ze Shu, he remembered the time he was thrown over the shoulder by Ze Shu, and he reluctantly looked away.
Seeing that the irritable Milton had no objections, Milton was even less concerned—except for the urge to beat up another Milton, it had no other desires, so it was fine with anyone.
"Hmm...right."
"Is this vast void of zero your territory?"
Ze Shu asked Talebagos.
Talebagos nodded blankly, "That's one way to put it."
"Then I'm going to pry up that overly crystallized tree in front of your door, roots and all."
"Bago?!"
You're even going after trees?!
Ultimately, Talebagos signed a series of unequal treaties.
For example, the Zero Hollow is unconditionally open to Sawaki, and the Star Crystal Pokémon inside won't attack them; before Talebagos wants to do anything, it must consult Sawaki's opinion, and it will unconditionally help and support Sawaki's actions...
Even the 'thugs' and 'trees' were given to Ze Shu.
Ze Shu and the others had already left and first arrived at the tree that was entirely made of crystal.
"How should we dig?"
This Crystal Tree, though exquisitely beautiful, is brimming with Crystal Energy. Just approaching it emits enough Crystal Energy to make the Crystal Bead tremble—this suggests that perhaps replanting it near home would eliminate the need to recharge the Crystal Bead at the Pokémon Center.
The tree itself can provide energy.
It's a pretty decoration that's actually quite useful.
However, digging it is not easy; the intricate root system composed of hard crystals alone is a challenge.
Ze Shu looked at Gu Leton and Milton, who were silently following behind them.
"Ah-ga-hi—??"
Therefore, Leighton incredulously pointed to himself with his paw.
Ze Shu laughed and said, "Could it be me?"
Therefore, Leighton was very keen to nod.
Judging from the force with which Ze Shu could throw him over his shoulder, he could uproot the tree, so Leighton had no doubt whatsoever.
But the sensible Gu Leton didn't dare say that. When you're under someone else's roof, it's no big deal to help the "boss" pull up some trees.
Immediately, Gu Leton rubbed his hands together and walked to the side of the Taijing Tree.
Then he pointed to a flower on the tree.
"Ah, hiss?"
Should we pull this one out too? Or should we just throw it away?
Therefore, Leighton asked weakly.
Ze Shu took a look.
That was a star-crystallized crystalline flower, which had been knocked unconscious by Little Blue's water cannon and stuck in the tree. But now, it wasn't unconscious; it was peacefully asleep.
It seems it woke up briefly, but this crystal tree was more to the liking of the crystal flower than any other rock wall, causing it to close its eyes again and fall into a deep sleep.
"Should I lose it or not?"
Ze Shu looked at Xiao Lan, after all, it was Xiao Lan who suggested taking the Taijing Tree with her.
"No, I don't think so." Xiao Lan laughed. "The crystal flower embedded in the crystal tree, the two together look quite nice."
"Since Crystal Flower likes this Crystal Tree, let it sleep. We'll plant it by the door later; with it there, we won't have to worry about thieves."
She threw a Poké Ball, which hit the sleeping Crystal Flower and captured it.
"whee!"
"I caught a Pokémon!"
Little Blue joked, looking back at the Poké Ball in his hand.
Remembering the "poison everywhere" characteristic of this Crystal Flower that had previously scattered poison caltrops all over the ground, Little Blue blinked, as if thinking of several uses for it. In other words, this Crystal Flower can usually guard the house, but it also has other uses in unusual situations.
Higanbana chimed in, "Wow! Alan caught a Pokémon too, so I want to catch one too!"
She immediately started craning her neck, trying to see if there were any other Pokémon in the Zero Hollow.
But then Ze Shu suddenly tapped him on the forehead.
"ah!!!"
"Don't waste any more time, let's get on the elevator."
At this moment, Guleton roared with a "gashi".
It can only be said that it is worthy of being called the "Winged Lord" who was invincible in ancient times. With a powerful force, it pulled up many of the tree roots and broke them, making a "bang" sound like glass shattering. The entire Taijing Tree was pulled up and sent into the elevator.
It's fortunate that when Fortu and Orinbo built this elevator, they didn't plan it too badly, so there's still plenty of space for the tree to enter the elevator.
"The elevator indicator light is on! They're coming up! So fast!"
"?!"
"Why is it such a crystallized tree riding the elevator?!"
As Pipa and the two Boge happily welcomed the elevator's opening, a huge tree suddenly loomed before their eyes, giving Pipa a bad feeling: "Could it be...?"
"Sawa-sensei and the others were eaten by this 'Tree Pokémon'?!"
Zeshu peeking out from behind the tree:
"......"
Piper scratched his head awkwardly: "Hehe, hehe."
After Guleton moved the tree away, Ze Shu stepped out of the elevator and nodded to Futu and Orin, who were sitting on Pipa with expectant faces. "It's all taken care of. There won't be any more accidents."
"Hahaha—" Orin burst into laughter. "I knew it! After all, the dangerous light on those crystals has disappeared! Ze Shu, you're amazing! I really didn't expect Ping! Ke Ran, on her first trip to the dangerous Zero Great Void, to resolve things so perfectly!"
"Now we can conduct research with peace of mind, without any more danger!"
But to Ping's surprise, Ze Shu Ke Ran shook his head.
He glanced at Piper and then said, "Actually, I wanted to say this before, but I'm afraid you... you don't have any Pokémon with you to protect you, and you have no power to restrain Weedle."
"Even if there is no danger now, who can guarantee that there won't be any unexpected events in the future, and we won't face the same situation again?"
"You don't actually want Pipa to turn into a bat... um, into a family of mice with only one mouse?"
Although Orin didn't know what the "still" in Ze Shu's words meant by "still want" was, she understood Ze Shu's metaphor of a family of rats in hell in the following sentence.
She explained helplessly, "But we want to focus on research and simply don't have the resources to train Pokémon. And finding other trainers to stay with us in this dangerous Sector Zero is really putting them in a difficult position."
"So this is the only way for now."
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing. We're not in any real danger. At least another year! Ten years! We won't die!"
Ze Shu: "...—".
That's hard to say.
After all, this incident caused by the Laku element was merely an accident that happened because of Zeshu Laiping. There might be more accidents like the deaths of Orin and Futu after that, and who knows, Pipa might accidentally become Batman again.
"How about this?"
Zeshu took out a Poké Ball and threw it.
The more aloof Milerton, number two, appeared on the field.
"I'll leave this Milton here to serve as the 'Guardian of Paradise' in Sector Zero, maintaining the safety of this place. Is that alright, you two?"
Orin was taken aback: "Of course we'd love to! You've helped us so much! I don't even know how to thank you enough!"
This Milton's combat power is undeniable; it is far superior to the two Miltons they are.
"It would be of great benefit to both suppressing the Pokémon in Zone 0 and to their research on observing Pokémon." "But there is a condition for this second Milton to stay," Ze Shu said after thinking for a moment.
Orin asked curiously, "A necessary condition?"
Then she saw Ze Shu look at Fu Tu, no, he should look at the cowardly Milton in the distance behind Fu Tu.
It had originally greeted Ze Shu happily, like a big dog, but after Ze Shu summoned Millerton Number Two, it was so frightened that it shrank back into a corner, afraid that Millerton Number Two would fire at it again.
Seeing Ping like this.
Orin and Futu also understood what the "inevitable condition" Zeshu had mentioned was.
Ze Shuyi stopped:
"Then this number one Milton, well, come with me."
