Chapter 671: Turning Gears [End of Volume]
Mist and fog enveloped the top of the Pantier Giant Pit, with rays of sunlight piercing through from above, creating a mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere as if one had entered a fairyland.
It had been several years since Shizuru's last visit, but the environment within the pit hadn't changed much since then.
Shizuru was about to have Gogoat dive in and plummet straight to the bottom layer.
However, before he could act, he suddenly noticed the clouds below trembling violently.
It was as if something was rising from below, trying to escape the pit and reach the outside world.
In a moment, a blood moon emerged from beneath the clouds and rushed towards the distance.
That was... the Roaring Moon?!
In the blink of an eye, the Roaring Moon vanished.
Its target was none other than the vast Palthia region!
Shizuru furrowed his brows, a sense of foreboding filling his heart.
Paradox Pokemon had broken out of the Pantier Giant Pit and reached the outside world... The Pantier Giant Pit must be in trouble!
"Gogoat, go down!"
"Agasy!"
Gogoat plunged into the mist.
As soon as they entered, Shizuru immediately sensed an odd atmosphere.
Looking down, he saw countless Paradox Pokemon engaged in fierce battles below, with Pokemon getting injured, some fleeing due to defeat, and even flying Paradox Pokemon soaring into the sky.
Their target, like the Roaring Moon, was the outside world!
This couldn't be allowed. These Paradox Pokemon's temperaments were well-known to Shizuru.
If a large number of them escaped the pit and reached Palthia, it would likely bring a terrifying disaster to the Pokemon and humans of this land.
"What happened in the Pantier Giant Pit to cause this riot among the Paradox Pokemon?"
"Could Dr. Maya and Dr. Forest be in trouble?"
Shizuru was filled with questions, and he turned his gaze downward. The only way to find answers now was to visit the Zero Zone Research Institute.
But before heading there...
Shizuru took out two Poke Balls. "Swift Dragon, Pupitar, defend the Palthia Line and stop these Paradox Pokemon from entering the Palthia region!"
Swift Dragon and Pupitar also noticed the scene below.
Sensing the chaotic aura, both Pokemon's expressions turned grave.
"Roar!"
"Pupitar!"
"Leave this to you two," Shizuru nodded to the Pokemon and then said to Gogoat, "Let's go to the institute!"
"Agasy!"
The man and Pokemon continued their descent.
"Rumble!"
The sky above changed dramatically, and pitch-black clouds covered the entire Pantier Giant Pit, pouring down a torrential rain.
Pupitar weaved through the clouds, its body crackling with electricity that formed into a massive electric orb.
Tendrils of electricity followed the raindrops, spreading in all directions and forming a gigantic electric net that covered the pit's entrance below.
The Palthia Line was instantly established, blocking countless Paradox Pokemon within the pit.
The sound of rushing air filled Shizuru's ears as Gogoat's speed increased, and the surroundings transformed rapidly.
Shizuru scanned the area.
He realized that it wasn't just the upper layer Paradox Pokemon rioting; the entire pit was in chaos!
"Agasy!"
The Gogoat beneath him let out a warning cry.
They were about to reach the bottom layer! Shizuru became extremely vigilant.
Even before they got close, he heard intense explosions coming from the Zero Zone.
As Gogoat passed through the pit's bottom, Shizuru froze at the sight before him.
Gogoat... Gogoat... Miltank... Miltank...
In this place, there were two Gogoats and two Miltanks engaged in a fierce territorial battle, oblivious to friend or foe!
No, that's not right!
There should only be three, but now there were four... Where did this fourth one come from?
Where did this Gogoat beneath him come from? After a brief daze, Shizuru was snapped back to reality by Gogoat.
He quickly regained his senses and looked around.
Where were Dr. Maya and Dr. Forest?
Only by finding them could he uncover the truth behind all this!
"Ignore them, let's head to the institute over there!" Shizuru said in a deep voice.
Gogoat turned and started walking, but soon the two Gogoats and two Miltanks noticed them.
They seemed to consider Shizuru and Gogoat as opponents joining the territorial battle, and without hesitation, they charged towards them!
One Gogoat leaped high, its body radiating a ferocious aura. It transformed as it rushed towards them.
"Agasy!"
Gogoat narrowed its eyes, setting Shizuru down and fearlessly facing the oncoming opponent.
The two Gogoats collided, and after a massive explosion, the wild Gogoat was sent flying backward.
Shizuru furrowed his brows.
It seemed entering the institute was impossible for now, so he quickly changed his strategy.
"Gogoat, stop them!"
"Agasy!"
Gogoat narrowed its eyes, focusing on the four Pokemon across from it.
An incredibly powerful aura emanated from its body, instantly enveloping the entire Zero Zone.
Sensing this terrifying and domineering force, one of the wild Gogoats' expression changed.
The other three also realized the situation; their opponent's strength far surpassed theirs. If they didn't defeat their opponent, they would be the ones to fall!
In an instant, the four Pokemon changed their tactics and simultaneously attacked Gogoat, trying to eliminate him from the territorial battle.
Shizuru frowned and took out his Rotom Phone, intending to call for help.
But the next moment, he witnessed a startling scene.
Gogoat stood motionless, and the four wild Gogoats and Miltanks unleashed their ultimate moves, charging towards Gogoat.
"Boom!"
Amidst the intense explosions, the four wild Gogoats and Miltanks were sent flying by Gogoat.
Staring at this scene, Shizuru's actions froze.
What was going on with this Gogoat...
Its strength was incredible, as it single-handedly fought against four opponents!
Something felt off, and after living with Gogoat for so many years, Shizuru suddenly sensed that its emotions were amiss.
Its crimson body suddenly surged forward, and its massive dragon claws grabbed a Miltank by the neck, pinning it against the wall.
Another Miltank transformed into lightning and launched a surprise attack from behind Gogoat, but Gogoat didn't turn around. Instead, it extended its other arm, and in the instant the Miltank made contact, it precisely grabbed its neck, pinning it down while its left hand flung the other Miltank away.
What incredible strength and speed!
The Miltank being choked let out a choking sound.
The image of Gogoat was reflected in its eyes.
As it gazed at the familiar figure, the Miltank's mind instantly flashed back to a scene from years ago when a malevolent Gogoat had inexplicably attacked it.
Without a single mistake, it charged forward!
That time, it was this very Gogoat!
The other two Gogoats roared and charged forward.
Gogoat clenched its left fist and slammed it into the Miltank's face, sending it flying and colliding with another Gogoat.
Then, it swiftly engaged the other Gogoat.
In that instant, their fists collided, and the terrifying force created a sharp, piercing boom in the air!
Gogoat, fighting against four opponents, was still holding its own!
Shizuru stood there, stunned by the scene before him.
He watched as Gogoat transformed into a red beam of light and soared into the air, continuously weaving through the vast Zero Zone with the other two Gogoats and the Miltank.
In the blink of an eye, one of the Miltanks was knocked to the ground, its massive body crashing heavily not far from Shizuru.
Shizuru's gaze met the Miltank's in mid-air.
The next moment, they both recognized each other.
Years ago, Dr. Forest had invited Shizuru to the Zero Zone to take care of a Miltank.
However, a Gogoat had barged in and stopped them, and at that time, it had directly attacked the Miltank.
And this Miltank was the same one from back then!
The Miltank also recognized the human, its eyes subtly changing, its expression cold and detached.
Its brain calmly assessed the current situation.
After the brief clash, it realized that the Gogoat possessed a strength far more formidable than the combined might of the four of them.
Even if they joined forces, victory was not guaranteed.
Undoubtedly, the human before it was of great importance to the Gogoat.
Recalling how the Gogoat had attacked it in the past, a malicious thought arose in the Miltank's mind.
"Zizila!"
Dense electricity crackled from the Miltank's body, and its cold eyes fixed on the human before it.
The cause was in the past, and the consequence was now.
Gogoat thought that defeating the Miltank would ensure Shizuru's safety, but it was precisely because it attacked the Miltank that the current situation had come to pass.
Shizuru stared, dumbfounded, at the Miltank covered in blue electricity, charging towards him.
Its speed was so swift that he had no time to dodge; he could only watch as the Miltank rushed towards him.
In mid-air, when Gogoat witnessed this, its eyes widened in shock.
Just then, a familiar voice called out from nearby, and at first, Shizuru thought it was his imagination.
But then, a dark green figure darted out like lightning from the side.
Time seemed to slow down in that fleeting moment.
For a brief instant, their gazes locked.
Shizuru was slightly dazed.
But it was also struck by the Miltank's lightning assault, sending them both soaring into the sky, colliding head-on with a massive building.
"Boom!"
"Agasy!"
Witnessing this, Gogoat's eyes seemed to spew fire, and an unprecedented surge of rage welled up within it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The enormous force sent the two Gogoats and the Miltank flying.
Then, its crimson body surged forward, almost becoming a red streak of light, and charged towards the time machine.
It reached out to grab its past self.
But its speed couldn't match the relentless passage of time.
Gogoat's grasp met only air.
"Ah! Gak! Syyy!"
At that moment, all the Pokemon in the giant pit heard an enraged roar.
The infinite power pierced their eardrums, striking fear into their hearts.
Gazing at the terrifying figure, a wild Gogoat couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.
Without hesitation, it turned and fled, its injured body transforming into a flying form, soaring into the sky, escaping the Pantier Giant Pit, heading south, and finally landing on a secluded beach.
Meanwhile, Gogoat charged towards the remaining Gogoat and Miltank, grabbing the Miltank's neck with its massive dragon claws and delivering a powerful blow.
The Miltank instantly lost its fighting ability.
Witnessing this, the other Gogoat's face paled with fear, and it retreated, wanting to escape.
But it was already too late.
The scarlet figure, like a demonic god, rushed towards it.
Gogoat felt an overwhelming force approaching, and then it passed out completely.
At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the vast Zero Zone Research Institute.
"Alert! Alert!"
"The time machine is damaged..."
"Paradise Defense System activated!"
