Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 456: Encounter across the years

I went to Augustus and briefly told him what happened. When he learned that there would be no more troublemakers in Area Zero in the future, Augustus was overjoyed.

In this way, he could move freely in this huge Padia pit!

As for those paradoxical Pokémon? As long as you are willing to send a team led by the king, they are not worth mentioning at all.

The Iron Warrior just smiled and didn't say anything more.

that's it.

Nan Fang and Augustus and his group, with the help of Gulton Milton and the Iron Warrior who had obtained the power of Tailebagos, passed through the Zero Zone Gate and returned to the outside world.

“Hiss~~~Ah!!!”

"This is the air outside! This is the sky outside!"

"Padiya! I love you!"

Standing on the high platform, Augustus stretched out his arms and embraced the world warmly.

In her previous life, the exit blocked by a pile of boulders and broken buildings was not something Augustus could break through by herself. But later when she met Gulden and Milton, she actually had a chance to get out of this place.

But due to his love for Zone Zero and the sudden strength of his backers, Augustus chose to stay.

It's a wonder that she has been able to live here alone relying on scarce natural resources. I can only say that this is the power of an obsessed researcher.

On the platform, Nan Fang and the Iron Warrior stood side by side at the back. Sha Dun and Sha Mi sat obediently on the edge, watching Augustus riding on the Steel Armored Crow and flying happily in the sky.

【south.】

"Huh? What's wrong?"

【Did you know? In fact, the crisis has not been completely resolved. 】

The Iron Warrior calmly stated a fact that shocked the South, but his tone was as calm as if he was saying "I want to eat tomatoes and eggs when I go home tonight."

"What's going on? Are you saying that Xiongdun hasn't completely disappeared?" Nan Fang asked the Iron Warrior in a low voice for fear of being heard by Augustus.

[In fact, Taile Bagos did not awaken naturally at that time. 】

【It just senses its own crisis, and our crisis.】

[But it was because of you and your pure thoughts at that time that it was able to break free and successfully appear in front of us. ]

[Because it was not fully awake, its power was only enough to send the Gul'ton back to its own era.]

[Originally, it could have fallen asleep later.]

[But because of me, it gave all of its remaining strength to me. ]

[And the purpose is to let me take its place and continue to protect this place. ]

[Therefore, when it has done everything, it will return to its current state. ]

Nan Fang lowered his head and looked at the little blue turtle in his arms, which had fallen into a coma. Nan Fang originally thought that it was just tired from playing and wanted to rest.

[If nothing unexpected happens, it should continue to change its appearance. ]

【final...】

Before the Iron Warrior finished speaking, a blue light suddenly flashed in Nanfang's arms. Taile Bagos, which was originally a blue turtle and carried a colorful halo, shrank again under Nanfang's gaze, and finally turned into a crystal-like hexagonal gem.

Just like the gem that Xie Dun carried at the beginning.

Nan Fang stared blankly at the gem in his hand, and finally sighed and accepted the current result.

【It seems that its time has been advanced. 】

The Iron Warrior added.

"Then you..." Nan Fang seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen next.

【I’m sorry.】

【goodbye. 】

Suddenly, the Iron Warrior stretched out his hand and gently pushed Nanfang. The sudden "attack" made Nanfang unable to react at all, and his whole body fell uncontrollably towards the two big fools who were still squatting on the edge of the platform.

Although he was not hurt, the strength of the Iron Warrior should not be underestimated. Nan Fang actually fell directly from the platform while holding two big fools.

The Iron Warrior stood still for a moment, then leaped back lightly and immediately jumped right above the huge pit.

A pink long sword condensed instantly.

Spiritual blade!

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, the platform collapsed instantly. Even the hard steel could not withstand the full force of the Iron Warrior.

When Augustus and Nanfang, who was riding on Milton, returned to the platform, all they saw was the ruins once again blocked by boulders and buildings.

"Iron Warrior!!!"

The cries from the South only echoed in this world.

Nan Fang understood, in fact, he understood everything.

He just couldn't accept his brief reunion with the Iron Warrior.

"What...is going on?" Augustus asked worriedly, not knowing what was going on.

Nan Fang just shook his head.

This is the Iron Warrior's own choice.

"Tsk! It's just some simple gravel!"

"King Wing! Iron Snake! Help us break it!"

After receiving the order, Gulden and Milton unleashed their own moves at the same time, striking the "stone gate" in front of them.

The imagined 'break' did not appear, and a faint blue film suddenly appeared.

The moment their moves disappeared, the blue film returned to its transparent state.

"I don't believe it anymore!"

Augustus continued to command them to bombard the film over and over again. The flashing blue film seemed to be persuading her not to continue.

The two gods, panting, rested for a while, gathering their strength to prepare for another attack.

"never mind."

"It went back on its own. And it was obvious that it didn't want us to get involved."

"It has some important things to do."

"Just let it go first."

Nan Fang's eyes were a little dazed, and he stopped the two gods from doing this meaningless thing.

Looking at the lost south, Augustus felt sad.

"Just wait and see! One day! I will definitely open this 'door' in my own way!" This situation aroused Augustus' desire for challenge.

Nan Fang smiled slightly as he thought about when he first jumped off the plane and arrived at the giant pit, and then walked into Zone Zero from the Zone Zero gate.

"You will succeed."

Ignoring Nanfang's 'spoiler', Augustus walked back angrily with a look of indignation on his face.

"Om-!"

At this moment, a blue light circle suddenly appeared in front of Nan Fang. It was a familiar feeling.

"Am I going back now?"

Nan Fang muttered to himself.

Augustus was stunned when he saw the aperture suddenly appear.

He remembered Nan Fang saying that this time, he returned to his own era through a blue halo.

Then the aperture that appears now means that the South may be going home.

Nan Fang gave a wry smile.

"Augustus, I..."

"flutter--!"

"Promise me, don't forget me."

Smelling the faint fragrance under his nose, Nan Fang nodded.

Augustus let go of her hands and turned away so that Nanfang could not see her cheek.

"Go ahead~ maybe~ we'll see each other again in the future~"

Looking at the stubborn figure in front of him, Nan Fang was very afraid that he would say something bad.

The lips opened slightly, finally.

"Be safe, I believe we will see each other again."

That gem was left behind.

Nan Fang turned around and walked resolutely into the blue light circle.

"Woo... Wow... Nanfang... You are such a heartless thing... You took other people's things and left without saying a word..."

“Wow wow wow….You are not a human being! Wow wow wow…”

The girl's cry echoed, but unfortunately the person who should hear it didn't hear it.

-

“Ouch! That hurts!”

Nan Fang, who jumped out of the aperture, accidentally fell.

But the good thing is that I finally saw a familiar scene.

It’s still the same research institute, and the same dark pit.

However, compared to when I went there, there is no more Sha Dun who was close to me, no more Xiong Dun who would attack me at the slightest disagreement, and also no more Tie Lump who always stood in front of me and mocked me coldly and sometimes disobeyed me. No, it's Miss Tie~

"You're back~"

I looked around again. It seemed like several years had passed in just two days. I felt like everything in the south had changed.

He shook his head and put his backpack back on.

Nan Fang turned and walked out.

"Tread, tap, tap..."

Suddenly, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

Nan Fang turned his head suddenly.

"Is... is it you..."

-

"So, this is the deepest secret of Area Zero?"

"The Great Void of Zero, and the Secret Treasure of Zero?"

"Silly...Dun and Stupid...Mi? And Fierce...Dun?"

In the principal's office of Puju College, Ye Ci and Clavel couldn't help but frown as they watched Nan Fang sitting on the sofa and eating lunch like crazy. It's not that they didn't trust Nan Fang, but in just two or three days, he could actually know so many secrets...

Some of them are...too unbelievable.

Of course, Nan Fang still concealed the fact that he had traveled through time.

"Will there not be another fierce one?"

After asking this question, Clavel slapped his forehead in annoyance. Why did he ask such a question?

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Nan Fang was stunned.

"Oh! What a fat guy!!"

"Um...you can swallow the food first and then talk." Ye Ci said politely.

"Ahem... Sorry..."

"I know! There will be more dangers in Area Zero!"

"But the deadline is unknown! The scale is unknown! The enemy is unknown!"

"There is only one thing that can be confirmed!"

"It must be those powerful paradoxical Pokémon!"

Nan Fang stood up excitedly, then took a box of fast food next to him and sat back down.

This kid... is really hungry...

Ye Ci and Clavel looked at each other and sighed.

"Then... do we really have no help?" Clavel asked helplessly.

"Find the secret treasure of Zero."

“Find the chosen one.”

“It will carry us forward.”

Nan Fang said seriously.

This...what Nan Fang said is almost identical to the stone tablet previously found deep within Area Zero.

"Can you show me your prophecy tablet?"

"Okay." Yesi said happily.

[A hundred years later, a young adventurer will carry the key to inheritance and save Padiya.]

[The Secret Treasure of Zero, the chosen one, leads us to the light. ]

【The man of the future, he will appear. 】

【A heartless person. 】

"...".

"I can understand the first three sentences, but this last one...excuse my stupidity, I really can't guess it."

Ye Ci and Clavel looked embarrassed.

"We have not yet analyzed any effective clues from this sentence."

"Well...it should be possible in the near future..."

Ok.

Nan Fang put down the slate and looked at the crooked handwriting on it, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before...

"Friend Nan Fang, do you have any other missing information or clues that can help us?"

Clavel asked worriedly.

Nan Fang put down his lunch box and thought for a moment.

"If...one day in the future, your people see an Iron Warrior anywhere in Area Zero."

"Just call it Sister Xiaotie."

"If it doesn't become hostile to you."

"Then it will definitely lend you a helping hand."

"She is a new friend of mine. Or rather, an old friend."

"She is very strong!"

-

The pink long knife slashed across the ground, sparking a burst of sparks.

A swordsman in white, his whole body shining like crystal, was walking slowly under the dim sky.

She was surrounded by paradoxical Pokémon that glowed with metallic luster.

And at the highest position, a purple iron snake with a ferocious face and lightning surrounding its body was staring at her eagerly.
