Chapter 609: Disc Pokemon
Chapter 609: Disc Pokemon
However, looking at Qi Shu and Gogoat's eyes, Shizuru eventually compromised.
"Alright, alright. I'm content with just having the two of you." He said.
"Ah, yes!"
"That's more like it!"
The pair, one human and one Pokemon, nodded in satisfaction. But Qi Shu added:
"It's all about fate. If a Pokemon wants to live with us, of course, we can bring it back to the ranch. But if it's just for the sake of collecting and catching a large number of Pokemon in one go, then forget it!"
"Of course, I would never do such a thing." Shizuru smiled, the Pokemon in the ranch were all those he had encountered by chance and brought back to live together.
He wasn't like Daio, who would throw Poke Balls at unfamiliar Pokemon and then leave them unattended in the backyard.
"Don't you think so?" Shizuru asked, noticing that the baby in the cradle had opened her eyes. He reached out and pinched her little face.
The baby waved her tiny hands and babbled. Then, she bit down on Shizuru's finger.
Although it didn't hurt, it made Shizuru realize something.
It seemed that Xiao Shu had started teething!
He glanced down and quickly shared the news with Qi Shu, "Xiao Shu is starting to sprout baby teeth!"
"Eh?" Qi Shu also leaned in to take a closer look.
Gogoat was very curious and stuck her big head out to watch as well.
"Time really flies!" Qi Shu couldn't help but sigh.
It felt like just a moment ago that Xiao Shu was born from her belly, and now she was already teething.
In a while, she should be able to call out to her mom and dad.
It was a mystery which one she would call out to first, mom or dad.
The couple was filled with anticipation.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and it was now May of the year 203 in the League Calendar.
That morning, Shizuru left the ranch in the care of Qi Shu and Ai Guan Shi, putting a few Poke Balls into his pocket and riding Gogoat to the Blueberry Academy, which was located above the ocean.
Some teachers greeted Shizuru as they saw him, and he politely responded to each one. Not long after he returned to his post, it was time for class.
Shizuru stood up and, with Gogoat, headed towards the classroom.
When they arrived, the classroom was already packed with students.
They were all excited and eager, their eyes fixed on him.
Among them, Shizuru immediately spotted Danyu, who had come for the class.
And next to Danyu sat a little boy with black hair.
It was her brother, Wuli.
Shizuru was a bit surprised. Wasn't Wuli a first-grader? How did he end up in the upper-grade classroom?
In fact, after class last week, Danyu immediately found Wuli and told him the news that Shizuru would be teaching.
So, to understand Shizuru's recent situation and the current life of Eguipu, Wuli, a first-grader, had sneaked over to listen to the class.
At this moment, Danyu was filled with excitement. She couldn't help but wave at Shizuru.
Although Wuli was equally excited, due to his shy nature, he didn't wave like his sister in front of everyone. Instead, he sat in his seat with his big, sparkling eyes wide open.
Shizuru nodded at the siblings and then smiled, saying:
"Alright, before we officially start the class, I want to ask: Have you all been getting along well with your Pokemon this whole time?"
"Yes!" The students replied in unison.
Last time, Shizuru had said that the bond and emotions between Trainers could also become a source of strength for Pokemon, helping them grow stronger.
So, throughout the week, each student had been strengthening their bond with their Pokemon through activities like camping, surfing, and cooking together.
"Good, it seems the effect of my first lesson is still holding up." Shizuru nodded in satisfaction.
Perhaps it was because he had become a father that when facing children of this age, he couldn't help but treat them from a parental perspective.
Would Xiao Shu also be full of energy like these kids when she grows up? Shizuru's mind wandered, and he continued, "Since that's the case, today's lesson will teach you another aspect of Pokemon knowledge."
Shizuru turned and wrote two large characters on the blackboard with chalk.
【Synergy】
"Synergy?" A male student read the characters and then raised his hand to ask, "Shizuru-sensei, what does synergy mean?"
"Synergy can refer to many aspects."
"For example, synergy between Abilities and moves, synergy between weather and moves, and synergy between different Pokemon."
Shizuru spoke eloquently from the podium, sharing the content he had carefully considered teaching these students over the past week.
The students listened intently, their curiosity piqued by this so-called synergy.
Shizuru smiled faintly and continued, "Let's start with the simplest synergy between traits and moves. Does anyone know about the Pokemon called Frost Dragon?"
"I do!" A child raised their hand. "It's a Fire-type and Flying-type Pokemon that evolves from Charmander!"
"That's right. Frost Dragons have a trait called Intimidate, which increases the power of their Fire-type moves when their HP is low, causing the flames on their body to burn more intensely."
"It's not just Frost Dragons. There's also the synergy between Grass-type Pokemon and the Overgrow trait, and Water-type Pokemon with the Torrent trait. Do you understand this concept of synergy between traits and moves?"
The students listened with utmost concentration. They had previously learned about Pokemon traits, so when Shizuru explained, they quickly grasped the meaning.
"Therefore, as trainers, we should pay close attention to Pokemon traits. By combining useful traits and moves, we can definitely unleash their full potential."
"Synergy between weather and moves is similar."
"When a Water-type Pokemon uses Rain Dance, it starts to rain, and under this weather condition, Water-type moves become more powerful, while Fire-type moves weaken."
"Of course, this is just the basics. You've probably learned similar concepts before. I heard that Blueberry Academy specializes in Double Battles."
Compared to Single Battles, Double Battles require a more sophisticated tactical system and are highly entertaining, emphasizing the coordination between different Pokemon.
"So, next, I'll teach you about synergy between different Pokemon."
Shizuru turned to the Gogoat by his side, paused for a moment, and then took out a Poke Ball from his pocket.
A white light flashed, and Zephyrfly appeared beside the Gogoat.
"As you can see, this Pokemon is called Gogoat. When its trait is activated, it can change the weather to a clear sky."
"And this Pokemon here is called Zephyrfly. Its trait allows it to unlock its latent potential and increase its energy under a clear sky."
"If these two were to battle together in a Double Battle..."
Shizuru paused, intentionally leaving the students hanging.
Even without his explanation, the students below could guess what he meant.
The synergy between the two Pokemon's traits and abilities gave them an advantage from the start of the battle, unlike Pokemon without such coordination.
At that moment, all the boys and girls understood what Shizuru was trying to convey.
"This is synergy," Shizuru said.
After the class ended, the next lesson was a practical outdoor session. Shizuru planned to take the students to the Ecosystem Egg for a live demonstration.
Before that, Shizuru returned to the office to get a drink. After lecturing non-stop for over half an hour, covering Pokemon traits, moves, weather, and terrain, his mouth was parched.
He took out some juice he had brought from the ranch and drank it in large gulps.
At that moment, Bai Lei Ya, who was sitting at another desk, approached him and greeted him.
"How do you feel? Are you getting used to it, Teacher Shizuru?" Bai Lei Ya asked.
"I feel great," Shizuru smiled. "For us, it's a new life experience."
"That's good. By the way, I sensed from your tone that you've also heard of my ancestor, Hei Ze?" Bai Lei Ya inquired.
"Yes, I have. I read Hei Ze's book, 'The Crimson Violet Tome,' and its contents were fascinating. Even now, I remember the events they encountered in the giant pit." Shizuru nodded.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lei Ya's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Do you think the stories recorded in 'The Crimson Violet Tome' are real?" she asked eagerly.
Shizuru was taken aback by Bai Lei Ya's tone.
It seemed that she was genuinely concerned about this matter.
However, as a time traveler, Shizuru knew that everything Hei Ze experienced in the book was real.
The Paradox Pokemon, too, existed.
Gogoat and Zephyrfly were proof of that.
The only thing that puzzled Shizuru was what Dr. Aurene and Dr. Futo had said—that they summoned Paradox Pokemon from the past and future.
This raised a question: How did Hei Ze encounter Paradox Pokemon in the first place? Or, did the power of that Terablast allow him to travel through time and witness the scenes of Zone Zero in another timeline?
According to Shizuru's knowledge, the time machine in Zone Zero's research facility was created by Dr. Aurene and Dr. Futo using Tera Energy and the unique environment at the bottom of the Paldea Crater.
It was for this very reason that the time machine couldn't be replicated in the outside world.
Shizuru's thoughts led him to a tentative conclusion.
"I believe Hei Ze's experiences were all real," he said.
"Exactly!" Bai Lei Ya happily clasped her hands together in agreement.
But then, her expression turned somewhat sorrowful.
"It's just that the contents of the Crimson Violet Tome are too bizarre, and people treat it as a ghost story. My ancestor, Hei Ze, has also been disgraced."
As she spoke, Bai Lei Ya took out a book from behind her, similar to the Crimson Violet Tome.
"This is the original Crimson Violet Tome, passed down by my ancestor, Hei Ze. Most of the copies available today are missing some content."
Bai Lei Ya opened the book, turned to a specific page, and showed it to Shizuru.
Shizuru looked down, and on the page was a strange image.
The image seemed to depict a planet, with a Pokemon resembling a disc or a turtle lying on top of it.
Below the image was a description of Hei Ze's encounter with this disc-like Pokemon.
[Disc Pokemon?
When I got separated from the Observation Team members,
I found myself at the bottom of the Paldea Crater and saw a strange object.
I didn't even know if that mysterious crystal was a Pokemon or if it was still active.
Its shell was made of multi-layered hexagonal crystals, more dazzling than gems.
The shape was like a disc! ]
Bai Lei Ya: "In fact, I'm conducting research in this area, and this disc-like Pokemon must be deep within the Paldea Crater! Once we find it, we can prove that everything my ancestor, Hei Ze, said was correct!"
"Unfortunately, my request to enter the Paldea Crater for investigation wasn't approved..." Bai Lei Ya regretted.
Upon hearing this, Shizuru quickly formed a guess.
This so-called disc Pokemon must be the third deity, Terablast, apart from Gogoat and Miltank. But... is Terablast currently at the deepest part of the Paldea Crater?
Why didn't he encounter it or hear about it from the researchers when he went to Zone Zero last time?
Or did Dr. Aurene and Dr. Futo intentionally conceal this matter?
Shizuru wasn't clear about this.
Just then, the class bell rang again.
Shizuru glanced outside and said, "I have to go to class."
"Okay, we can talk more next time~" Bai Lei Ya sounded a bit disappointed.
Shizuru nodded and then left the office with Gogoat, heading towards the Ecosystem Egg.
On the way, he recalled the plot of the Crimson Violet Tome and Bai Lei Ya's words, and unable to contain his curiosity, he asked Yec about the disc Pokemon.
[Wing King: Chief, do you know about the disc Pokemon?]
Yec quickly replied.
[Yec: Disc Pokemon? What kind of Pokemon is that? I've never heard of it.]
[Wing King: To be honest, I just met a teacher named Bai Lei Ya at Blueberry Academy. She's a descendant of Hei Ze and has submitted an application to the Partida League to enter Zone Zero. It seems she wants to investigate the truth about the disc Pokemon.]
[Yec: You met her? Regarding this matter, we promised Dr. Aurene and Dr. Futo to temporarily keep the existence of Paradox Pokemon a secret from the outside world. Moreover, I heard that those Paradox Pokemon are now all over the Paldea Crater. If Bai Lei Ya goes there, she will definitely discover them.
And those Pokemon are very dangerous. Bai Lei Ya isn't a Trainer, so she has no way to deal with them. That's why we temporarily rejected her application.
If, in the future, Dr. Aurene and Dr. Futo plan to announce the existence of Paradox Pokemon to the public, then we should be able to approve her request at that time.]
Even Yec didn't know about the so-called disc Pokemon? Shizuru was a bit surprised.
It seemed that the Partida League's control over the Paldea Crater wasn't as deep as he had imagined.
[Wing King: Alright, I understand.]
Shizuru quickly replied. Since that was the case, he decided not to get involved for now. Yec had rejected Bai Lei Ya's application, and he certainly couldn't take her into the Paldea Crater without permission.
Moreover, they weren't acquainted before.
"Forget it," Shizuru thought to himself.
He would have to wait until the main storyline of the Paldea Region officially began to find out the answer.
