Chapter 211 The Mixed-Haired Salamander; The Gentle "Motorcycle Lizard"

Duang

~

Duang~duang

In the hands of Roaring Tail, Zeshu, and Xijiana, relying on the highly elastic spring connected to its body, the head of the iron bag bounced left and right, sometimes flying into the sky, sometimes crashing to the ground. The metal head was swung in a meteor-hammer-like trajectory, but it just couldn't return to its body.

"Our arrival has truly caused these bizarre Pokémon to suffer."

Xiao Lan smiled sheepishly. The iron head of the metal bag was really interesting. With Xi Jiana's encouragement, she also tried it a few times with a guilty conscience, swinging the head of the metal bag back and forth with a "duang".

Nemo looked around, but her face was full of disappointment—because of Roar Tail, there was only this one Pokémon around, the Iron Bag, which made her desire to battle unfulfilled.

Peony held Sylveon in her arms, while she and her Pokémon looked on with "terrifying" eyes at the three people playing with the metal bundle.

Fortunately, they are not "durable" mechanical creations; at most, they are disturbed. Sylveon found this quite comfortable, but this iron bag treatment probably isn't much more comfortable.

But even though it's a durable Pokémon, a so-called "alien creation" mechanical penguin, the springs in its metal head will eventually lose their elasticity under such swinging. Gradually, the swinging amplitude of the metal head has been greatly reduced.

The eye sensors on the iron bundle glowed erratically red as it spun at high speed, accompanied by intermittent mechanical sounds mixed with the chirping of springs: "1-

Iron Bundle...connection lost..."

Those eyes, like electronic pixels, also changed from the normal "0v0" to "XvX".

"Hehehe Zeshu, haven't we gone a bit too far?" Xijiana's conscience temporarily returned.

"Then let's put the head on this iron bundle," Ze Shu said after thinking for a moment. "After all, we need sustainable development."

"Whoosh!" Roaring Tail nodded repeatedly, completely agreeing with Ze Shu's opinion. It would be a shame to break something so interesting all at once; we should save it for later!

Pick up the head of the iron bundle and put it back in the direction of its gradually diminishing elastic spring. Now, the head of the iron bundle is back in place, no longer separated from its original shape, and everything is exactly as it was at the beginning—if you ignore the 'playing' it suffered.

But the iron baggage seemed to have become a rock machine.

Standing there blankly, looking like he was wondering, "Who am I? Who is me?" The "XvX" expression on his face never changed. The red light that symbolized the malfunction dissipated, and his eyes became dull.

Higana's eyes widened. "We've ruined this Iron Messenger Bird! What are we going to do now—we can't play with it anymore! Zeshu, you need to think of something!"

Ze Shu: "Perhaps there's a way."

Upon hearing this, Higana let out an exaggerated "Oh!" and asked with interest, "Could it be... that you're a hidden mechanical master, Zeki?!"

Ze Shu: ".—"

These ridiculous titles just slipped out of Higana's mouth.

"I dare not accept the title of 'mechanical master'."

As Ze Shu spoke, he walked over to Tie Baoyu's head and slapped it hard, making a "bang" sound.

"What kind of crazy method is this..."

"Gaga--"

But amidst Higana's doubts, the iron bag actually started to work again, the mechanical parts making a "creaking" sound, and its eyes regained their healthy blue light.

Iron Bag: "Gah! >V<"

Higanbana: "?!"

How can a machine be brought back to life simply by being struck? What kind of technique is that?

Moreover... this iron bundle looks unusually healthy, and... cheerful, showing no signs of the depression that came after they tormented it. Ze Shu rubbed the remaining full-restoration medicine on Roaring Tail's head until it was clean before saying, "Maybe this memory was too painful, so it chose to forget it."

It puffed up its cheeks, belching out a loud roar, "Whoosh!"

Ze Shu poked its swollen cheek and said, "Stop fooling around, you're injured too."

but.

The full-restoration medicine can also be used on Iron Bag, a 'mechanical creation' made entirely of iron, and the effect is quite obvious. Ze Shu doesn't even know how Iron Bag absorbs the medicine when he pats it.

All I can say is that Pokémon are truly amazing creatures.

"Hurry up and go." Ze Shu slapped the iron bundle's head so hard it made a "thud," and said to it, "Don't run so slowly like an idiot in the future, understand? Otherwise, you'll end up like this... well, being played with."

The iron bundle stood frozen in place, uttering a curt "Goo?"

Ze Shu patted its head again and walked away.

Although Ironhide is a pretty strong Ice-type Pokémon, he didn't intend to catch it.

After all, this iron bag isn't a masochist, and Ze Shu didn't believe that the iron bag would still follow them after being played with like that.

But after walking a few steps, Ze Shu's attention was drawn to a whooshing sound that seemed to come from nowhere—RoarTail produced a Super Ball from nowhere, tossed it through the air in an elegant arc, and the round Poké Ball hit Iron Bag Dull on the head squarely.

Then, with a "glare," it was successfully subdued.

Roaring Tail held the still-warm Poké Ball and presented it to Ze Shu like a treasure.

"Whoosh!"

We can play with this "toy" forever!

Ze Shu was speechless, looking at the Poké Ball that Roaring Tail offered: "You bastard."

He can still play with and tease wild Pokémon without any restraint.

But what if this Pokémon becomes a partner?

They continued down and soon reached the bottom of the Padia Pit—because of the roaring tail, the birds and beasts they encountered scattered, and they made their way through without any hindrance.

"Ugh—"

"So many paradoxes!"

This is a much wider plain than the Iron Tracks and the territory occupied by the majestic Fang Clan. A huge waterfall cascades down from above, forming a lake at the bottom of the Padia Crater. Around the lake gather many Pokémon that Zeki and his companions had not seen on their way down.

But here, the iron tracks and majestic teeth no longer coexisted harmoniously.

It seems that a true "king" has not yet been decided.

Ancient paradoxical species like the Ground Wing, Sand Iron Skin, and Fierce Mushroom are gathered together, while on the other side are future paradoxical species like the Iron Poison Moth, Iron Neck, and Iron Thorn.

The two groups are wary of each other and clearly distinct, while members within each group also distrust one another and maintain a certain distance that allows for appropriate reactions.

Here, Ze Shu also met the assistants sent by the doctors to pick them up—two paradoxical motorcycle lizards. One was a futuristic purple-blue motorcycle, and the other was a wild red motorcycle lizard that sped along. They both looked quite cool.

But they are now in trouble.

An exaggerated figure with a wingspan of tens of meters hovered in the air, its dragon feathers scattering down and blocking their path—no wonder Ze Shu and his group had come down to the lower level; they hadn't seen these two 'assistants' before.

"This is that Salamence's... its..."

Looking at that figure, Xijiana blurted out, but then hesitated when she got to the specific name.

"It's Roaring Moon," Little Blue added, then laughed, "Shigana, didn't you say that this Roaring Moon wouldn't be a match for your Salamence? You could take it down in a heartbeat!"

"Well..." Higana blinked.

How should I put it, just by its wingspan of tens of meters, one can tell how powerful it is. At least in appearance, it looks incredibly strong, like the overlord of Zone Zero.

"Could it be that Higana is afraid of being proven wrong by her boastful promises, so she chickened out?"

Ze Shu's words hit the nail on the head.

Higana's face flushed red:

"Me! How could I possibly back down! A mere, mere Roaring Moon, I'll take it down in a heartbeat... ::..?! Why are you all looking at me like that?!"

She suddenly realized that everyone was looking at her with encouraging eyes.

Nemo's eyes gleamed with fervor as she said, "Miss Cynthia is indeed a powerful trainer! Who wouldn't want to challenge such a powerful Salamence, Paradoxical? But since Miss Cynthia has such conviction, although it's hard to say, this opportunity to battle still belongs to you!"

Pipa sighed, "I've also heard of this Roaring Moon. It's something that has troubled my father for a long time. He once sent Champion Yaji to subdue it, but even though Roaring Moon couldn't defeat Yaji, it still managed to inflict a lot of damage on Champion Yaji before escaping unscathed."

Higanbana: "?!"

Ze Shu patted her, looking approving: "As expected, this Roaring Moon should be left to 'Dragon Messenger' Higana! Don't worry, we'll help you from behind—at least we'll cheer you on."

Higana was inexplicably pushed out and stood blankly on the ground.

At this moment, the Roaring Moon had not yet noticed her.

"Gengar, Provoke."

But Gengar, wearing boxing gloves, emerged from Higanbana's shadow at Zeju's command.

It first attracted Roaring Moon's attention with a strange "hehehe" sound, then turned around, patted its own butt with a boxing glove, and pointed to the bewildered Higana next to it.

"Hehehe!!"

Gengar's behavior, while described as "provocative," is actually more of a "watch me!"

No, it should be "Look at Higana."

As expected, the quasi-overlord of Zone Zero was very irritable. He immediately roared, flapped his wings, and surged toward Higana with furious momentum.

After glaring at Ze Shu, Higana lived up to her title of "Dragon's Messenger"...:

They were being chased and hurriedly ran away.

"Ughhhhhh—"

"You jerk, Sawaki! You jerk, Sawaki! I'm not ready yet! I haven't even summoned my Pokémon! Why are you making me the target of everyone's hatred?!"

Ze Shu blinked and said to Xiao Lan beside him, "Has this Shigana been living a life of ease for too long? Has she forgotten the most basic qualities of a trainer?" After all, she hadn't even had a chance to summon her Pokémon, which was truly outrageous.

"She wasn't like this when she attacked our spaceship."

Little Blue chuckled and said, "That's why we need to 'train' her like this, otherwise, after she leaves us, she might get tricked into going to Team Rocket to cut off Slowpoke's tail in the sewers."

The roaring moon in the sky continued for a long time. As a creature that wanted to become the overlord of Zone Zero, it would not tolerate the slightest provocation. With its feathers falling, it quickly chased after Xijiana.

But Ze Shu probably isn't worried.

No matter what, Higanbana is the inheritor of the Meteor Dwellers who bears the responsibility of saving the world. If she summons Salamence and then uses Mega Evolution, she will at least be no less powerful than Roaring Moon. Besides, this is not a competition, so you can send out more than one Pokémon.

"This Roaring Moon is shedding so much fur. What if it becomes a bald dragon in the future?"

"Ugh! I can't take it anymore! Salamence, answer my call, Mega Evolve! Let's defeat this scrawny Salamence together!"

If you look closely, this Roaring Moon is just a sloppy version of a Super Salamence. Its outstretched Blood Moon wings are not as shiny and sharp as the Super Salamence's so-called "Bloodstained Crescent," but rather have messy feathers and are constantly shedding.

No wonder Higana called it a mixed-haired flying dragon.

But if you don't look closely, it's quite imposing.

The two "blood moons" on the field—Sycanna's Mega Salamence and Roaring Moon—are already colliding, with the dragon roars echoing continuously, causing the Pokémon drinking water in the lake cascading down the waterfall to look at them with either vigilance or fear.

Meanwhile, the two Doctor's "assistants" who had been blocked by Roaring Moon were able to continue forward and came to Ze Shu's side. In their motorcycle forms, they rubbed against Ze Shu, presumably because the Doctor had shown them what Ze Shu looked like.

"Aga-hiss—"

"Hiss!"

This is Milletton, and Milletton.

Ze Shu rubbed them both gently.

The surface of the Milton has a smooth and delicate warm steel feel. Although it looks like a cold motorcycle, it doesn't feel cold at all. Instead, it feels warm, which makes the riding experience quite pleasant.

The Millerton electronic eyes, which had been rubbed, suddenly showed a smiling face with a "_~" shape.

So Leton was fluffy with soft feathers, but also had strong, bulging muscles. When Ze Shu rubbed it, it stuck out its tongue and kept rubbing against Ze Shu, just like a large red dog.

From them, Ze Shu could not see any of the unruly nature that belongs to Paradox Pokémon.

Logically speaking, if Milton and Guleton were to go all out, Roaring Moon should be completely unable to stop either of them, especially since both of them are, after all, the "divine beasts" of Padia.

But that's the reality; the two mythical beasts were pitifully blocked at the doorway and couldn't get out.

"Can you fight? Hmm, I mean, can you switch to battle mode?" Zeki asked, looking at the two divine beasts in their motorcycle forms.

But the answer I received was:

"Aga-hiss—"

Although we are capable of fighting, we prefer peace and dislike fighting.

So Leighton rubbed against him like a dog, panting, and barked like that.

"Well, that's... good." Ze Shu paused for a moment, then nodded.

With such a pure and innocent nature that they dislike fighting, it's no wonder that they were later beaten to a pulp by another No. 2, "Millerton" or "Gillerton," unable to even maintain their battle form, and even needing to consume secret seasoning to restore their motorcycle form.

But Zeki quite likes this kind of personality, and he wonders if "Number Two" has appeared yet.

"Never mind, let's go to the professor's place first."

He looked at the field, where Roaring Moon and Mega Salamence were locked in a fierce battle.

To end this process, Zeki decided to lend a hand, so he released the Pokémon that Roaring Tail had just captured and pointed it at Roaring Moon, which was wide open because it was focused on the battle.

"Iron Man, aim at that Salamence and empty all the stuff in your bag."

The iron-clad figure stared blankly at the ice-blue package that resembled a railgun:

"Huh?"
