Chapter 210 Poor Iron
"Hoohoo!"
Upon hearing Ze Shu's "praise," the roaring tail that he had been holding stopped struggling. Instead, it proudly raised its head and began to bark proudly—it had conquered many audience members with its "beautiful" singing voice!
Just like that ferocious mushroom, which was also one of its conquered creatures, it was so moved to see it that it was even too excited to face it!
Ze Shu nodded helplessly.
He believed this statement—that the "wonderful" in the mouth of that roaring tail might not necessarily be wonderful, and the "moving" might not necessarily be moving, but the "conquering" definitely meant conquering.
"Feed him/her!"
Higana's resentful voice finally rang out from above, "So why don't you guys care about me?! I was thrown up so high! That's so dangerous!"
Ze Shu glanced at her on the Salamence and decided to ask, "Is your Salamence alright?"
Higana immediately raised her head:
"Of course it's alright! Who am I! I'm the Dragon Messenger, Higana! Merely high in the sky..."
"Hmm? That's not right!"
"Why are you suddenly concerned about Salamence! Salamence does deserve concern, but it's me who got thrown! It was me! It was me!"
After realizing who Zeshu was concerned about in his words, Xijiana angrily shouted at Zeshu.
But the Salamence beneath her was moved to tears as it looked at Zeki.
After all these years, finally someone understands its bitterness!
Ze Shu:
"....—."
However, was this "title" of Higana just something she made up? She even stole Wataru's title. Doesn't she know that the title "Dragon Messenger" is one of the few titles Wataru has that is related to the "dragon" attribute?
Just then, the phone rang. Ze Shu looked down and saw it was Futu and Dr. Orin calling, presumably already aware of their arrival. He answered the phone, and sure enough, it was as expected.
"Hmm, it's alright. You don't need to come pick me up. I think the scenery in Zone Zero is quite nice; we can explore it a bit before coming down. Lost? Hmm, you can just send me a map."
"As for danger...?"
Botanti's concerns about their dangerous situation.
Zeshu glanced at the Roaring Tail beside him, paused for a moment, and then laughed, "You said Paradox Pokémon are fierce and will harm us. But maybe our arrival is the real threat to the Paradox Pokémon here."
Orin on the other end of the phone laughed heartily: "Since you say so, I'm relieved! The Mio Pokémon here are all wild and untamed. We'd be more than happy if you could tame them!"
"But the map..."
Orin paused for a moment.
Futu continued, "The roads in Sector Zero are a maze, and even with a map, you might still get lost. How about this, let's have our 'assistants' who manage the Paradox Pokémon here guide you—two Paradox Motoslizards, who are very familiar with this place."
Ze Shu nodded: "That works too."
Finally, on the screen, Orin turned to Pipa, who was secretly watching the call, and said, "You must listen to Teacher Zeshu! Enjoy the scenery of Zone Zero. We look forward to seeing you."
Pipa turned her head away, feigning reluctance, and said, "Okay, okay!"
But the call was disconnected before Piper could respond.
Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth. Did these two really love their son? Or were they just genuinely too busy with work?
"Alright, let's move on. The professors said they'll send guide Pokémon, so let's take the main road and we'll encounter them there." Ze Shu said, pulling on Roar's Tail, which seemed to be trying to dash away as if it were going home.
But the paradoxical Motor Lizard...
Zeki naturally knew which Pokémon these were: "Iron Serpent" and "Winged King." He just didn't know whether the ones next to the professor were "Number One" or "Number Two."
The overall structure of Zone Zero is biased towards a spiral depression.
As long as you ignore the side paths and spiral down the ramp, you can go from the "upper level" all the way to the "lower level," and finally arrive at the "bottom level" cavity where the doctors are.
To be honest, the scenery in Zone Zero is really nice.
There are lush green meadows here, with occasional small waterfalls on the upper level. Below the waterfalls, there are many Pokémon washing themselves in the river, including Kirin, Buppu, and Marshall, all of whom have aggressive personalities.
It means that upon seeing Ze Shu and the others, they wanted to attack them.
But as soon as Zeki flashed his Roar Tail forward, the Pokémon's usual aggression vanished, and they fled in panic, just like the previous ferocious mushroom.
In its haste, the Qilin even took the wrong path and crashed headfirst into a rock wall. With a loud "bang" that sounded like a good thing, it tilted to the side and fell to the ground unconscious—now it had no chance to escape at all.
This made Zeki realize even more just how great the "reputation" of Roaring Tail truly was.
"Hoo-hoo!"
The roaring tail was trying to curry favor with Ze Shu.
These are all its "fans"!
Because everyone loves its singing, Ze Shu is fortunate enough to avoid being bullied!
"You're pretty good, huh? You have a lot of fans."
Zeshu poked Roaring Tail's cheek and smiled at the giant chubby guy who thought he sang well.
With this "singing overlord" here, they must have some power among these dangerous and paradoxical Pokémon in Zone Zero. "Roar! Roar!"
Of course!
I'm super awesome!
Roaring Tail proudly raised its chubby head, its tail bobbing happily as it accepted Ze Shu's praise without hesitation.
The Zero District is full of its "fans". It was because everyone in the Zero District was its fan that it wanted to run out of the Zero District so that more people could hear its singing. That's why it was caught by Ze Shu and became his Pokémon.
"So that's how it is..."
"Are these guys also your 'fans'?"
At this moment, Higana lay on the edge of the slope, pointed down, and asked Roaring Tail curiously.
The place she was pointing to was already in the middle of Zone Zero, a flat area with a waterfall, meaning there was a water source, where many Pokémon gathered.
Dark Raven, Mounted Goat, Wrestling Eagleman, Two Mighty Mushrooms, One Iron Poison Moth...
Among them, the most eye-catching are two groups of Pokémon—one of which is familiar to Zeju: the Iron Tracks group and the Majestic Fang group. These two groups of Donphan and Paranormal Pokémon, which are either wild or metallic, are mixed together, suggesting that they have lived together for quite some time, creating a harmonious scene.
But Ze Shu noticed that none of the members in this Iron Tracks Group and the Majestic Tooth Group were as large as the Iron Tracks and Majestic Tooth Groups he had seen in the Red Desert, and in fact, they were quite different in size.
But thinking about it, Ze Shu felt relieved.
The paradoxical Pokémon that managed to escape Zone Zero is no ordinary creature.
"Ho ho ho ho!"
When asked about Xijiana's question, Roaring Tail replied: "They're all acquaintances—even if we weren't, we'd become friends after singing a song." With so many audience members, Roaring Tail was eager to "sing a song"—to hold a long-awaited concert in his hometown of District Zero.
However, before singing, Roaring Tail did not forget Ze Shu's instructions. Its bright golden eyes glistened, and it looked pitifully at Ze Shu, longing for his permission to sing.
"Whoosh whoosh~"
"Well..."
Zeshu looked down at the group of Pokémon. The flat ground they were on was their only way. According to the nature of Paradoxical Pokémon, they could get along harmoniously now, but that didn't mean they could get along harmoniously with Zeshu and his group after they went down.
This is indeed a difficult point on the road; so many dangerous Pokémon make dealing with them troublesome.
It seems like the Roaring Tail, this "weapon of mass destruction," is giving a performance.
That's a very good solution.
"Sing! Of course we'll sing! Just don't let it get into our ears."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Among the majestic tusks, the largest one let out a deafening roar—not because it had seen anything dangerous, but simply its usual arrogant display.
After all, this period was its happiest time.
First of all, the leaders of their clan and the neighboring clans—the Majestic Tooth Clan and the Iron Track Clan—had recently 'abandoned' them and fled from Zone Zero, allowing them, the second-in-command, to take the top spot. This really made them happy; they never expected being the leader to be so enjoyable!
Secondly, the giant, demonic-like Fatso also left Sector Zero, freeing its race from the terrifying song.
And isn't happiness the absence of threats?
comfortable.
How comfortable!
The majestic tusk hummed again as it lay down by the pool—its favorite spot, where it could see the vast land of Zone Zero and feel a sense of control over everything.
If it sees an unfamiliar Pokémon or human, it will call on the metal monsters next door to attack together, because this is their territory.
But at this moment, it was patrolling the vast Zero Zone as usual.
But it saw a round, pink figure descending from the sky like a hot air balloon.
This figure is very familiar; deep in my memory, it's been labeled "horror."
"Wheeling sound—?"
The majestic toothed boss instinctively turned its head away, not daring to look, thinking it was just a hallucination caused by its fear. But when it secretly glanced back, the pink, round figure was still there, but had already landed at a fairly close distance.
It was holding a cylindrical object in its hand and had its mouth open—an action etched deep in the memory of the majestic tooth, an action it was unwilling to face. The mere sight of this action signified that the terrifying sound would soon descend.
Hey!
Could this not be an illusion...? Is this real?
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!!!"
Run, run, run, run!
Majestic Tooth felt he had never roared so loudly before, not even when the boss ran away!
After the roaring gong was thrown like a nuclear bomb, it was thrown down towards the roaring tail iron track group below.
Zeshu saw the group of Pokémon below scatter like frightened birds and beasts, their legs seemingly unable to move and their limbs uncoordinated, yet they still persisted in running away—it was clear they were truly terrified.
And among them.
A steel penguin stands out conspicuously among the receding tide of Pokémon.
"This is... a messenger bird?" Higana exclaimed excitedly, "It looks so clumsy!"
The "messenger bird," clutching its package which resembled an ice railgun, stared blankly at the panicked birds and beasts around it, seemingly not understanding why everyone was fleeing. After a moment, it finally realized what was happening and began to follow the herd, its penguin legs carrying it along.
However, it didn't notice a small pebble under its feet.
There was a loud "bang".
It fell over, and due to the impact, its penguin head detached from its body and flew off. Its body and head were only connected by a spring, swinging back and forth with a "duang~".
It stood out conspicuously in the empty area where birds and beasts had dispersed, and it was quite amusing.
Higana burst out laughing:
"Hahaha~ Ugh, what a stupid Delibird, even dumber than me! I feel like my Salamence could bully ten of them!"
Xiao Lan opened the Book of Purple and said, "This is called an Iron Bag. According to the book, it's a product of an ancient civilization! It can spray out large amounts of ice from a package that's like a missile launcher! Hmm, large amounts of ice."
She glanced at Higanbana, who had just burst into laughter after saying, "My Salamence can take down ten Iron Bundles," and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Higanbana's Salamence.
boom!
"Ouch! Ze Shu, why did you flick my forehead again!"
"Don't block the way, the area below has been cleared, so we naturally have to go down."
"Ugh... just tell me to move aside! You keep flicking my forehead, don't you know it'll make me stupid!"
Ze Shu looked at Xi Jiana, who was covering her head and looking aggrieved, and nodded knowingly.
"Now I understand."
Before Roaring Tail could even begin its performance, the audience had completely vanished, leaving it feeling utterly aggrieved and extremely disappointed with this year's audience—there was clearly still a song's worth of time left!
This meant it could only circle around the only audience member who hadn't "escaped."
It's that iron bundle... oh no, that iron bag.
Grab the head of the iron bundle, apply some force to bend its spring, and then let go. With a "duang~", the iron bundle's head flew wildly, and the roaring tail finally relieved some of the grievance it had just suffered.
But Roaring Tail wasn't upset.
The iron-clad bundle was extremely aggrieved; its head still couldn't be put back on.
Its penguin-shaped mechanical feet twitched upwards in a pleading gesture, while the snowflakes spraying from the vents waltzed in the swirling airflow. Feeling wronged, it could only endure it for a while.
As soon as Zeshu came down, he saw Roartail bullying Ironhide, and immediately frowned, saying, "Roartail! How can you bully this poor Pokémon like that! Put your hands down!"
"Hoho?!"
Hearing Ze Shu's "stern shout," Roaring Tail paused for a moment, then quickly put down his hand that was about to poke at the head of the iron bundle. He didn't understand why Ze Shu was so angry and was at a loss.
But then...
It saw Ze Shu walk up, take over its previous action, and flick the head of the iron bundle with a "duang~" as it flew into the air, a playful smile on its face.
Roaring Tail paused, then puffed out its angry cheeks at Ze Shu:
"Hoho?!"
You trainer, you won't let me play...
But you yourself are addicted to it?!
Higanbana, standing beside Ze Shu, eagerly exclaimed, "Let me play! Let me play!"
Xiao Lan rubbed her head, looked at the three people shaking their heads around the iron bundle, and said helplessly:
"What a pitiful iron bundle."
