Chapter 216 The Treasure of Zero?
Under the influence of the icicle slab, Pokémon's moves such as Blizzard, Icy Wind, and Avalanche seemed to be mixed together, flowing and reinforcing each other, exuding a power that terrified dragons.
A cold front swept across the sky, and peas flitted about.
Accompanied by the howling of cold wind, it continuously submerged the area below, like a refrigeration unit.
So, after hearing Ze Shu's words, Leighton and Milton were stunned for less than half a second before they were like two small boats on a lake swirling in a fierce blizzard, swaying and being completely submerged.
As the center of the attack, they wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, but unfortunately it was too cold. They felt as if their bodies were about to freeze into ice blocks, making it extremely difficult to move.
They could only stare at Ze Shu through the icy fog with eyes that said, "You shameless bastard!"
Ze Shu shrugged.
These two "brutal" hybrid motorcycle lizards are still too naive.
All's fair in war, right?
Visible cold mist, like dry ice, spread outwards from the center of Millerton and Guleton, first freezing the nearest iron sheet and iron neck into freeze-dried solid, which then crashed to the ground with a "bang."
The power was so great that it startled Dr. Orin, who was already standing quite far away. To avoid being affected, she knelt down a few steps and tried to distance herself, but after moving away, she suddenly realized...
"Guleton!"
She quickly ran back and pulled away Gu Leton, the number one who had been severely injured by the brutal number two and was now fast asleep with a hint of craving on his lips.
And after she finished doing all of this.
Then they saw that Ze Shu's attack had ended.
The ice mist had almost completely dissipated, leaving only a wisp of lingering mist that gave the bottom of Zone Zero an ethereal, otherworldly feel. And in the center of this ethereal atmosphere, two ice sculptures of motorcycle lizards stood out.
"It's over?" Orin blinked, somewhat incredulous.
"Maybe so," Ze Shu replied, his back to her.
He stepped forward, tapped on the ice wall, and didn't say much, but simply looked at the two Pokémon frozen in the ice sculpture with an 'appreciative' and 'study' eye.
At that moment, Dream also peeked out from Ze Shu's shoulder.
Seeing that the enemy had been dealt with, it immediately put its hands on its hips, put on a smug look, and started calling out "mmmmmmmmm" to the ice sculpture of Guleton.
The shouts included, but were not limited to, sarcastic and childish remarks such as, "This big guy has finally fallen!", "You dared to punch me!", and "The combination of Zeshu and me is invincible!"
but,
Ze Shu shattered the ice block on Gu Le Dun's head, letting Gu Le Dun's fierce face directly face Meng Huan's proud little face.
Therefore, Leighton: "Agh! Hiss—!!!"
Dream was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she bumped back into Ze Shu's chest in terror.
【Ughhhhh, why are you being so fierce?!——】
[And Zeshu, why did you release that huge thing?!]
Ze Shu was slightly speechless. He rubbed the frightened kitten's head and said, "Didn't you pick on it? It's just that its head was let out, and it's already scared?"
The dream was so pleasant that my neck stiffened instantly, stiffer than the iron neck that had been frozen into an ice sculpture.
[Don't be afraid of dreams or fantasies!]
【I...I was just pretending, yes! The fantasy was fake!】
What an old-fashioned, stubborn argument.
Ze Shu pinched Dream's mouth, which was harder than an aluminum steel dragon, took out a bag of "Hot and Spicy Flower Dance Bird Spicy Strips" and stuffed it into its mouth, saying, "You should eat snacks instead. Hmm, consider this payment for your 'help' just now."
[Hmph! Ze Shu, you didn't ask me for help! You're just using me as a shield! Honestly!]
Meng Huan muttered a complaint, but still grabbed Ze Shu's spicy snack and ran away in a flash.
Judging from the greedy "Ooh" cry coming from above, it must have gone to Articuno's back and chosen to share snacks with Vulpix—as a "greedy little alliance," they have established an unbreakable friendship.
Ze Shu chuckled.
He walked up to Guleton's head, looked into its stubborn eyes, and said, "I'll ask, and you answer, okay?"
Therefore, Leighton turned his head and exclaimed, "Ah, oh my god!!!"
This clearly indicates a lack of cooperation.
But then it saw Ze Shu pressing his fist down with a "crackling" sound, and recalled how Ze Shu had previously thrown it over the shoulder and pinned it to the ground, so Leton couldn't help but swallow hard—this was an experience that this domineering "Winged King" had never had before.
"Aga-hiss—"
But then again, without Ze Shu saying anything more, Le Dun stubbornly insisted that he should first hear what you wanted to ask.
Okay, so this thing is a coward at heart. Is this the typical "timid" personality of all past or future species of Motor Lizards?
However, unlike the blatant cowardice of number one, Guleton.
This newly emerged second-generation traitor, Guleton, cleverly conceals his cowardice beneath a veneer of violence.
Ze Shu said with a laugh, "The problem isn't complicated."
He pointed to the Laku element that Futu had always kept in his arms behind him and said, "I just want to know why your target is this thing, what's wrong with it, and why Zone Zero has become like this."
"Ah, hiss?"
Therefore, Leighton looked completely bewildered.
Ze Shu asked several questions, but after a moment of thought, its not-so-small brain realized that it didn't know the answers to any of them.
All it knew was that when it appeared, a voice in its head vaguely reminded it to snatch the purple thing and destroy it—as for how to destroy it, it was said that it would understand after it snatched it.
"I see." Ze Shu nodded. "I'm all set."
He took out two Poké Balls, smiled at Guleton and Milton in front of him, and said, "To avoid you causing any more trouble, I'd like you to come in and have a seat in this ball, is that alright?"
"Ah, ah-ga-hi—??"
Therefore, Leighton was naturally unwilling; how could such a small ball contain his majestic "Winged King"?
But the moto lizards, living under the eaves, have no choice but to bow their heads. Humans are the butchers, and the moto lizards are the meat. So the moto lizards have no choice but to live under the eaves.
A moment later, Ze Shu approached the two professors with two Poké Balls in his hand.
At this moment, many of the Paradoxical Pokémon that had attacked from all sides were lying down, and only a few managed to stand up thanks to the "efforts" of Nemo and the others.
Higana, hands on her hips, burst into laughter and said:
"No matter what iron arms, iron neck, iron skin, or iron spikes they have, none of them are a match for me and Super Altaria! If it weren't for Zeju ruining my relationship with Altaria and causing a slight mishap during Super Evolution, I would have defeated even more!"
Xiao Lan covered her head and simply said, "Those are iron arms, iron necks, iron sheets, and iron thorns."
"Ugh!" Hijana murmured along with Xiao Lan, still unable to pronounce it, and finally gave up, saying, "What kind of names are these! They don't sound good at all! They're hard to pronounce either! Even 'Iron Arms, Iron Neck' is easier to pronounce than what I said!"
"Did you name these, Doctor?"
"Looks like your naming skills aren't that great, Doctor!"
Higana complained to Futu.
Futu simply said helplessly, "These are the names recorded in the Book of Purple. The Book of Purple is an exploration record written by the explorer Hai a long time ago, which records these Pokémon from the future, so..."
Higanbana realized her mistake and exclaimed, "? But didn't you say 'a long time ago'? How did that Seafox know about these Pokémon from the future in the past?!"
After a moment of silence, Futu said, "I don't know."
"Perhaps there are some secrets involved, but in any case, the images of these paradoxical Pokémon from the future were recorded and passed down."
Finally, I summoned them in the time machine, confirming the description of the jellyfish in the Book of Purple.
Higana gave a bewildered "Oh".
Orin finally spoke, looking at the Paradoxical Pokémon lying on the ground around her, and said:
"Now is not the time to let our guard down. When the incident occurred, I checked the surveillance cameras at the four observation stations we set up in Zone 0 and found that all the Paradox Pokémon in Zone 0 were in a riot."
"This number is far from enough. There's a good chance that many more Paradox Pokémon will break in and attack us."
"We need to...find the cause of these paradoxical Pokémon anomalies and deal with them."
"Yes." Ze Shu walked over and said, "We need to find the source of these paradoxical Pokémon anomalies."
Higanbana pointed to the Laku Elemental in Fortu's arms, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't these Pokémon come here for this? Are we going to destroy it?"
"No." Ze Shu flicked her head, tossed the two red and white balls in his hand, and said, "The Laku element is just the fuse, while the newly appeared Guleton and Milerton are the henchmen."
"The source: It is somewhere else, perhaps it exists in this zeroth zone."
"This matter needs to be investigated."
"but,"
Ze Shu looked at Dr. Orin and smiled.
"Professor Orin, you probably don't need to worry about any more Paradoxical Pokémon breaking in, because..."
At this point, the lowest part of the middle layer of Zone Zero.
It is still the place where the roaring moon is unconscious.
But it's not just Roaring Moon that's in a coma here; it has quite a few "companions."
One after another, these paradoxical Pokémon lay here, numbering over a hundred, all with dizzy eyes and unnaturally twitching bodies.
This alone is enough to shock people—how cruel the torment they endured before they fell into a coma!
"Hoohoo..."
At the boundary between the bottom and middle layers of the cavity, that is, at the entrance of the cavity.
Roaring Tail put down the microphone in its hand with boredom, pouted its little mouth in frustration, and stared unsteadily at the pile of unconscious Paradox Pokémon in front of it.
It originally thought that having an audience to listen to its singing would be a very pleasant thing.
But as it turns out, the national value will continue to rise.
After a seven-day exhilarating duel with Gustoly, Roartail felt that the piles of elusive Pokémon in front of it would collapse at the slightest touch.
It was just so-so—they collapsed before they even reached their climax, which was really too boring, and they didn't even reach the level of being itchy.
However, Roaring Tail still diligently adhered to the task assigned to it by Ze Shu, steadfastly holding its post at the cave entrance.
After all, the Ancient Sword Leopard is by Ze Shu's side. What if the troublesome Ancient Sword Leopard gets into some trouble and Ze Shu "punishes" it by making it sing (howl) passionately?
Roaring Tail is looking forward to this.
Dmn
"Waaaaah~ Waaaah~~~~"
"Snow leopard, shut up."
"Sing..."
The ancient sword-wielding leopard angrily chiseled at the rock wall with its saber teeth, making a "bang, bang" sound. On the rock wall, Milton also made a "sizzling" sound of grievance—it had been embedded in the rock wall on the other side of the far away by the brutal "Lightning Rush" of Number Two.
The embarrassing thing is that this thing can't even dig itself out; it's a living, breathing wall butt.
Ze Shu is digging it out.
Soon, perhaps ten minutes later, a notch was chiseled into the ice on the Ancient Sword Leopard's fangs.
Milton was finally rescued.
It slammed down on the puddles with a "thud," splashing water everywhere, and then, with its body covered in dirty water, it pounced on Ze Shu like a big dog waddling around.
"Agasa—!!!"
Millerton was moved to tears, feeling that there was no better human than Ze Shu.
But Ze Shu pressed its head down with a look of disgust.
"No, no, no, no!"
"Ah, hiss??!"
"You're dirty."
"Gah."
Seeing Milton's disappointed look, Ze Shu shook his head with amusement, took out the dark gray rice cake he had previously scavenged from Liuwei, and stuffed it into its mouth. "Here, still no sandwiches, just make do with this. Wash yourself after you're done, then take me back."
"Agh!!"
Milerton happily ate the dark gray rice cake that Ze Shu had given him. Even though it wasn't his favorite sandwich, he thought the dark gray rice cake that Ze Shu had given him was just as delicious as a sandwich!
When Millerton drove Ze Shu back to the Zero Zone Research Institute.
Then they saw Orin and Dr. Fortu looking very busy.
When Orin saw Ze Shu, her eyes lit up: "Hey! Milton has been rescued! That's great! Ze Shu, come here and listen to what's going on with the Paradox Pokémon's strange behavior. Maybe we have some clues or guesses."
When Ze Shu stepped forward, she took out a white book.
"This is?"
"This book is called...The Treasure of Zero!"
Orin raised an eyebrow and said, "We can't remember exactly when or why this book came into our possession."
"But it records another place—the Great Void of Zero, which is a region buried more than two thousand years underground, even deeper than Zone Zero. The book records some things in the Great Void of Zero."
"Because of this book, we attempted to build an elevator to the Great Void of Zero."
"but."
"It's too dangerous there. It's not something two doctors with poor combat skills like us can go down to explore. We reported it to the Alliance, but they said they needed to discuss it carefully, so the matter has been put on hold for now."
"Looking back now, at the time of the accident, I could faintly feel tremors coming from below—could it be that these tremors came from the Great Void of Zero?"
"After all, this book, 'The Treasure of Zero,' records a creature known as the 'Treasure of Zero,' which possesses incredible abilities and extraordinary, unobservable crystalline energy from the ground."
"It is an extremely mysterious Pokémon."
"so-"
"I'm wondering, are these two things related?"
Orin flipped through the book in her hand, pondering as she spoke. Finally, she looked at Ze Shu with a puzzled expression, as if Ze Shu could say something that would surprise her.
