Chapter 213 Paw Patrol from the Time Machine
"The time machine isn't here, but inside our lowest level, Zone Zero Research Institute, heavily guarded. Ordinary people can't get in." (Since you've also shown interest, Ze Shu...)
Orin patted Ze Shu on the shoulder like a brother and laughed loudly:
"Let's go together then!"
Futu took the Laku element that Zeshu had just handed him from the research equipment, found a carrying device and put it in, saying, "In that case, let's take this Laku element to the Zero Zone Research Institute for further research."
Orin smiled and said, "The Zero Zone Research Institute is a research institute that we poured our hearts and souls into... well, it also poured the Alliance's funds into building. The equipment inside is more advanced than the Fourth Observatory here. I believe that there, we can at least analyze some of the essence of your Laku element, Ze Shu."
"Without further ado, let's go!"
"Millardton, Gullardton, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Aga-hiss—"
The sounds, a mix of electronic music and the rough calls of motor lizards, rang out in unison.
Millerton and Old Millerton seem to be full of energy.
Seeing that Ze Shu looked a little curious about the two of them, Orin patted Gu Leton, who looked like a big red dog, and sighed, "These two guys, we are able to carry out our research activities in Zone Zero smoothly, largely thanks to them."
"Unlike other Mio Pokémon, they are not cold or violent, and they don't attack anyone they see. They don't like to fight, and they are even a bit timid."
"But they can help us avoid crises in advance—like Eevee's 'danger foresight' ability."
"Meeting them was a stroke of luck for me and Futu."
"Gasi-i"
So, Leighton, a little embarrassed by the praise, squatted down beside him, sticking out his tongue and panting, "Are you hungry?"
Orin laughed, pulled a sandwich dough from her pocket, and walked straight to Piper. To Piper's bewildered look, she reached into his bulging backpack and pulled out common ingredients such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and salad dressing.
"Hahaha, I knew you'd always carry these things with you."
"After all, your dream is to be a chef, Mom has always known that!"
Orin laughed like a mischievous child, but her hands didn't stop. She quickly wrapped the sandwich and fed it to Guleton, who squinted his eyes in bliss.
Meanwhile, Milerton could only watch longingly. It couldn't help but glance at Futu again, but Futu was intently staring at the Laku element in its arms, looking like a meticulous researcher, which disappointed Milerton, who then looked away.
"Here, it's not a sandwich, but you should be able to eat it."
Zeki poured out dark gray rice crackers, kamaru senbei, curly potato chips, and lobster soldier shrimp crackers from the six-tailed ogre's chubby, slightly thick fur:
Yes, that's enough.
After he stopped, he gave the food to Milton, who was looking somewhat dejected.
"Six-tailed selected snacks may not be very nutritious, but at least they taste good. Try them as a tip for bringing us here."
"Oh, oh, oh?!"
"Crack!!"
Liuwei, looking both aggrieved and furious, clutched the remaining snacks in its fur.
Millerton, however, ate... Ze Shu thought he must be happy. At least his electronic pixelated eyes made an expression like "(。>√<。)".
Orin laughed heartily and said, "Then let's go to the Zero Zone Research Institute first!"
Emerging from the fourth observation station, and guided by the two Motor Lizards, we descended the spiral-shaped terrain of the Zero Zone cave, soon arriving at the bottom level, in front of the Zero Zone Research Institute of the two doctors.
The ground here has shallow puddles, and everywhere there are huge, dazzling gems.
Seeing that Mudan and the others were looking at the gemstones with curiosity, Orin smiled and explained:
"The Tai Crystal energy in Zone Zero is quite abundant, isn't it? Here, even the Tai Crystal Beads don't need to be actively recharged. With the abundant Tai Crystal energy here, they can be used again in just a few minutes after being used once."
"in addition."
"Although we don't yet understand the principle, what we are absolutely certain of is that—in Zone Zero, the deeper we go, the stronger the energy of the Taijing becomes—perhaps something below is guiding the Taijing, or perhaps the energy of the Taijing comes from the Earth's core."
As she spoke, Futu had already verified his identity and opened the door to the Zero Zone Research Institute.
The first thing you see is a tunnel connecting rooms on both sides—the same rooms that Zeshu saw when he had a video call with the two professors, filled with research books and materials.
even.
"Four PhDs?!"
Inside the two open rooms, there stood a Futu and an Orin, and beside them, there were Orin and Futu. There were two pairs of doctors who looked exactly alike!
Higana was so frightened that her eyes widened and she jumped up.
"Am I hallucinating from some kind of ghost Pokémon?! Sawaki, help me!!"
Ze Shu gave a helpless twitch of his lips:
"ah?!"
Pipa was so shocked that she almost lost her footing and fell.
Two sets of parents?!
For Piper, who might become "Batman" in the future, it's hard to say whether this is a source of distress, happiness, or something else entirely.
Orin burst into laughter, amused: "I told you! You'd be terrified the first time you see them! They're our great helpers! They've taken care of all the complicated research tasks for us."
"They're 'AIs', you know!"
"It's an AI we created by imitating ourselves, possessing our knowledge... no, perhaps after a few more iterations, it will possess even more advanced knowledge than us—because it can be equipped with different memory modules."
The AI on the opposite side spoke in an electronic voice, saying:
"Welcome back, research progress...:"
"Let's not talk about it now." Orin waved her hand. "I need to take them to the time machine first. Little Orin, open the elevator to the time machine."
Orin AI: "Okay."
They led the group, most of whom were somewhat questioning the meaning of life, into the elevator.
The elevator had already started to descend, and Orin still had a smile on her face.
But Pipa suddenly hesitated and asked, "Is that... an AI? And... my parents?"
Orin paused for a moment, then gave Pipa a sharp rap on the head: "If you want to admit it, I won't refuse!"
Pipa: "Ah!"
He was beaten so badly that he covered his head and squatted on the ground.
Higana couldn't help but look at him with a sense of shared misfortune.
Squatting on the ground, Pipa was filled with grievance and confusion—this "violent woman" mother said she "wouldn't refuse," yet she beat him so badly. What was she trying to say?! Pipa was lost in confusion.
Time will not stop because of Pipa's confusion.
"We've arrived, the time machine!"
The elevator doors opened, revealing the interior of a sphere cast from a giant crystal. The dazzling reflection caused everyone emerging from the elevator to cover their faces, while Ze Shu looked at the high-tech well-like device in the center of the room.
"Is that a time machine?"
"Yes."
"Fertu said."
"Compared to the renowned Taijing Pearl, this is a truly great invention that we can be proud of, one that takes a lifetime to complete!"
"Time machines can break through the limitations of time, allowing us to bring Pokémon from the past or future into the current timeline by throwing Poké Balls—it is because of this paradoxical nature of time and space that we name them Paradox Pokémon."
"But... never mind."
Futu shook his head, then said, "Mr. Zeshu, why not give it a try? Whatever Pokémon appears will be a surprise, like a lottery."
Orin continued, "But be careful, most of the Pokémon that come out are ferocious and difficult to tame—so after capturing the Paradox Pokémon, we released them back into the Zero Zone where they used to live, allowing us to continue observing and studying them in their wild state."
"Sigh, if Pokémon that come out of the time machine didn't lose their memories, we might have a deeper understanding of the past or the future."
"in addition."
Based on our experience, this time machine has another characteristic: "Most of the Pokémon captured from it will have a similar scent to yours. For example, if you have Jigglypuff, there's a good chance you'll capture a Roaring Tail Pokémon."
Relics, right?
Ze Shu nodded, took out a Poké Ball, and stepped forward.
He was quite interested in the time machine.
One particular question is: Is this so-called "time machine" truly capturing things across the river of time? Can an object really do what Pokémon with unique advantages like "Celebi" or "Palget" can do?
When Uncle Liu hears that such a machine exists, he'll go crazy and rush over!
If that's the case, Piper might have a chance to become Batman again.
So Zeshu thought about it.
A Growlithe has been released.
Orin paused, then asked, "This is...."
Ze Shu: "It's a Growlithe. Hmm, it's a Growlithe that's practically 'extinct' in modern times." --- Maybe it's not completely extinct yet; who knows, maybe one or two Growlithe will pop up in some corner, like some photographer giving one away.
Even in Xicui, these Growlithe dogs are only found in a few patches in the Windward Forest area.
If this time machine could also summon a Growlithe...
Well, it's still highly unlikely that this time machine can prove that it can retrieve Pokémon from the river of time, but Zeju was able to return to Shizuku to verify it.
There is still some hope of proof.
It can also help continue the lineage of the Growlithe Pokémon.
"Woof.::" Growlithe looked left and right.
"Concentrate, you might be about to fight," Ze Shu whispered.
"Woof!" Growlithe became spirited. As Faltu operated the time machine, the well-like time machine suddenly emitted a dazzling crystalline light, seemingly driven by ethereal energy.
"You can shoot now!" Futu shouted.
Ze Shu looked at the dazzling crystal light and decisively threw the Poké Ball down—he originally wanted to use some force, hoping to stun a Pokémon at a certain time, just like he had stunned a Rattlebird before, thus increasing the chance of catching it.
But this doesn't seem to be working.
The time machine didn't create a time tunnel for him to throw Poké Balls at will. To Zeshu, it felt more like it absorbed the Poké Balls, melting them away and making them disappear without a trace.
"Can this really be captured?" Ze Shu couldn't help but wonder.
"There's a high probability that we can catch them all," said the operator, Futu, with a very confident attitude. "The probability of catching them, while not 100%, is still around 70 or 80 percent."
"I see." Ze Shu remained puzzled.
Is the probability of throwing a Poké Ball at a specific point in time and accidentally hitting and capturing a Pokémon really that high?
Ze Shu thought that even a one percent probability was high.
But the truth shattered Ze Shu's inner suspicions.
"They're here," Futu said calmly.
With a "vosh," the time machine suddenly spat out a Poké Ball, which exploded in mid-air, releasing a burst of white light.
The Pokémon captured inside appeared in front of Zeju.
"Woof woof!!!"
This is just a normal Growlithe, the kind that Officer Jenny provides.
It's also very fierce.
Upon seeing Ze Shu, it pounced on him.
But before it could pounce, a stronger figure cut it off, pinning it to the smooth steel floor.
Its fierce "woof woof" sound turned into a pleading "whimper" sound.
"Great!" Ze Shu laughed.
What blocked the attack and protected him was, of course, his Teddy Bear dog.
The shufflepuff wagged its tail, a gesture that conveyed both joy and a sense of insignificance.
"It's a normal Growlithe..." Ze Shu looked at the Pokémon being suppressed by the washed-up Growlithe.
"That's normal. There are quite a few normal Pokémon in Sector Zero. Apart from a few that slipped in from outside, most of them were captured by us from the Time Machine," Futu said.
"So we're being much more cautious about activating the time machine now," Orin said with a troubled expression. "After all, we're afraid of filling up Zone Zero."
Ordinary Pokémon are also available for adoption.
Ze Shu nodded and said, "It's alright. I'll take this Growlithe with me. Even if I don't take care of it myself, I'll at least help it find a trainer it likes."
Orin laughed and said, "That puts my mind at ease!"
"Shall we continue?" asked Futu.
Ze Shu said, "If you can, let's continue."
He wanted to see if this time machine could actually summon the emerald-green Growlithe. Besides... how could opening a blind box only once be enough?
In the end, Ze Shu opened six blind boxes. The reason he only opened six wasn't because he had opened enough, but because he ran out of energy. This time machine requires a lot of Taijing energy to activate. The Taijing energy collected by the Zero Zone Research Institute in a month was only enough to open six blind boxes.
That's true. If there were no restrictions, and you kept catching Pokémon in the time machine, you'd probably fill the entire Pokémon world with them.
And the "time machine" successfully summoned the Growlithe Dog that Zeshu wanted to verify.
that is.
That's a lot.
And not a single Paradox Pokémon appeared.
Zeshu gazed at the six Growlithe dogs lying flat on the smooth steel floor.
Four of them were regular Growlithe, while the other two were washed Growlithe with dusty fur covering their eyes.
At this moment, all six were pinned down on the ground by his Growlithe.
"Now there really is a 'Paw Patrol'—or rather, the future Gyro Dog Paw Patrol."
Ze Shu couldn't quite imagine what it would be like to take seven "mad dogs" out in the future.
No, perhaps it should be his Growlithe who leads the Paw Patrol, which consists of six Growlithe dogs.
Now he's truly become the 'leader of the green-washing gang'.
Looking at his beloved Growlithe, Ze Shu joked, "You're not going to grow red eyes on me someday, are you?"
The Pikachu tilted its head: "Woof?"
