Chapter 675: The Blue Disc
Chapter 675: The Blue Disc
Shizuru remained transfixed, unable to snap out of his daze as he watched the footage from nine years ago, showing Gogoat emerging from the time machine.
Ailin and Futo stood by his side, gazing at the scene from the past.
After a long while, Shizuru's voice broke the silence, "What if we summon a Moto-Lizard from an even earlier timeline?"
"The time machine currently lacks the precision to pinpoint a specific Pokemon in the past," Ailin explained. "That's why it took us a month to find Moto-Lizard."
"The reason we were able to locate Moto-Lizard's time and position is because something significant must have happened at that moment."
Shizuru's eyes widened slightly, and he immediately recalled the group of turtles that had used their power to help Moto-Lizard return to his side. Could it be that their power resonated with the time machine, creating a mutual call and attraction?
Ailin paused, then continued, "Moreover, in my memory, Dr. Ailin once discussed the topic of 'time paradoxes' with you."
"If the past is altered, your future will change accordingly. Moto-Lizard would not have returned nine years ago, and the Gogoat by your side would cease to exist."
Shizuru was momentarily stunned, well aware of this fact.
He turned to look at Gogoat beside him.
Gogoat happened to look back at him.
"Agasy..."
Futo spoke up, "From any perspective, we strongly advise against such an action."
"A Butterfree flapping its wings in the Kanto region could cause a storm in the Hoenn region. Even the smallest action can trigger a series of butterfly effects, potentially leading to drastic changes in your current life."
Shizuru fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Gogoat's eyes widened, and it quickly protested, "Agasy!"
Such an action might affect the Little Tree and the others.
Gogoat would rather endure the dangers of the ancient times than risk the disappearance of the Little Tree and the others! Despite the perilous encounters in the distant past, Gogoat had ultimately returned to Shizuru's side.
"Gogoat..." Shizuru murmured.
In that moment, Shizuru felt as if he was seeing that kind Moto-Lizard once again.
No matter what form it took, Moto-Lizard would always be by his side, never leaving.
Ailin turned to Gogoat, deep in thought, "Interesting."
Shizuru and Gogoat glanced at each other, then turned to look at Ailin.
"The existence of Paradox Pokemon is itself a paradox," Ailin said, gazing at Gogoat. "Time is but a trial of evolution. Transforming from a time paradox into Gogoat... Perhaps this is the essence of Paradox Pokemon. If Dr. Ailin knew about this, she would be utterly astonished."
Undoubtedly, this was an exceptionally unique Gogoat.
"I wish Moto-Lizard hadn't gone through all that," Shizuru said bitterly.
From the moment he first saw 'Gogoat', he noticed the scars on its body. Even when it returned to the farm, it was severely injured and unconscious.
Shizuru couldn't bear to imagine the countless dangers Moto-Lizard had faced in that distant past.
"It's a fact that cannot be altered now," Futo stated.
After a moment of silence, Shizuru spoke, "I understand... But I need some time."
Currently, he couldn't bring himself to view Gogoat and Moto-Lizard as the same individual.
Upon hearing this, Ailin and Futo exchanged a glance.
They nodded, "When you're ready, come back here. We have another matter that requires your assistance."
"We'd like to ask you to help shut down the time machine. If it continues to operate, dangerous Paradox Pokemon will keep being summoned to the present, posing a threat to the Paldea region."
Ailin paused, then spoke softly, "I'd like you to pass on a message to Papa. Tell him that Futo and I have always loved him."
"..." Shizuru slowly shook his head. "I'm not qualified to do that. Some things are best said face-to-face between you and him."
Moreover, he couldn't do it because the ID to shut down the time machine was in the crimson book Papa held.
At this, the two AI doctors were slightly taken aback.
Although they weren't the real doctors, after inheriting the emotions and memories of the true doctors, they were no different from the real ones.
After a moment, Dr. Ailin nodded lightly, "I understand."
"Give me some more time. Afterward, I'll come back to help guide Papa here," Shizuru promised, agreeing to the doctors' request.
Hearing this, gratitude filled their eyes, "Thank you."
Shizuru and Gogoat left the area.
However, they didn't leave Area Zero, as the Paradox Pokemon incident hadn't entirely concluded, and the Paldea League hadn't reached the deepest part of the Pantier Giant Pit. Shizuru needed to send the Paradox Pokemon back to their respective timelines before the Paldea League arrived to take over.
On the seventh day, Yuci finally arrived.
"Sorry to keep you waiting! The escaped Paradox Pokemon have mostly been captured. I've heard about your situation, Shizuru, and I'm truly sorry."
Shizuru: "..."
After expressing his sincere gratitude, Yuci took out a blue disc from his waist and handed it over.
Shizuru was slightly taken aback.
"This is the key to activate the elevator leading to the lower levels of Area Zero. Over a decade ago, the Paldea League conducted an investigation of the giant pit. Dr. Ailin and Dr. Futo built the time machine after studying that place. Perhaps it can be of help to you," Yuci explained.
The origin of the time machine?
Shizuru immediately looked up.
He took the blue disc, then said, "Thank you, Chief."
"Don't mention it. Go ahead, we'll handle the rest!" Yuci said softly.
Shizuru nodded and quickly returned to the Area Zero Research Institute with Gogoat. He inserted the disc into the elevator.
A mechanical voice echoed from the device, "Blue disc inserted!"
"The destination of the elevator in Area Zero Research Institute has changed to the Zero Sky Cavern!"
"Roar!"
Amidst the loud noise, the elevator above opened with a boom.
Shizuru stepped into the elevator with Gogoat. As the elevator started, Shizuru immediately felt a strong sense of descent.
The elevator kept falling, and falling...
It was hard to tell how long it took, but it was definitely several minutes!
Finally, amidst a loud crashing sound, the elevator came to a halt.
The air around them started to thin, and it was clear that they had reached an even deeper location.
"Boom!"
The door, which had been closed for so long, suddenly burst open.
An enormous cave filled with dazzling Tera Crystals and a vast space appeared before Shizuru and Gogoat's eyes.
Shizuru stood frozen in place.
This place... he had never been here before!
Meanwhile, Gogoat seemed extremely excited.
It let out an excited cry, "Agasy!"
Shizuru instantly understood, "Gogoat? You've been here before?"
Gogoat nodded vigorously, "Agasy!"
It crouched down, signaling Shizuru to climb on.
Without hesitation, Shizuru swiftly mounted Gogoat.
Once Shizuru was settled, Gogoat's limbs surged with power, and they rushed towards the lower levels.
After navigating through a complex terrain, they soon reached a cave composed of massive crystals.
An unusual aura emanated from within the cave.
Shizuru cautiously stepped inside, and in the next moment, he spotted an unknown creature resembling a crystal on a gigantic crystal platform.
Could this be the legendary Totten Turtle?
Upon seeing only one Totten Turtle, Gogoat was dumbfounded.
Why was there only one left? Gogoat recalled that there used to be numerous small turtle Pokemon living in this place.
Confused, Gogoat hurried forward and began searching around.
Eventually, its aggressive actions caused several massive crystal pillars to collapse, revealing a hidden cave behind them.
Inside the inconspicuous cave, dozens of "crystals" identical to the one outside lay scattered haphazardly.
The crystal outside seemed to have ventured out due to the crowded conditions in the cave, enjoying the spacious platform on its own.
Seeing all the Pokemon, Gogoat heaved a sigh of relief.
"Agasy..."
Then, it turned back to Shizuru and called out loudly, "Agasy!"
These Pokemon had helped it return to the farm!
Shizuru understood Gogoat's intention, and he suddenly recalled Dr. Or린's words.
Shizuru slowly approached the crystal creature.
He extended his hand and gently touched the crystal.
In the next instant, a dazzling light burst forth.
In Shizuru's stunned gaze, the crystal creature floated into the air, and from within emerged four tiny legs, a purple head, and a delicate tail!
It yawned lazily, as if waking up.
Then, as if noticing something, the Totten Turtle abruptly raised its head and looked at Shizuru.
Their gazes met in mid-air.
In the next moment, the Totten Turtle's eyes lit up, and it excitedly ran towards Shizuru.
After running a short distance, the Totten Turtle leaped, burying its head in Shizuru's embrace, its voice filled with joy.
"Bago!"
Shizuru paused, momentarily lost in thought.
Just then, the Totten Turtles sleeping in the hidden cave seemed to sense something, and they extended their small heads and limbs from the crystals.
Flashes of dazzling white light accompanied the emergence of dozens of Totten Turtles from the cave.
Their first sight was Gogoat, and they looked delighted.
"Bago!"
One of the Totten Turtles asked, "Bago Bago?" (Did you find Shizuru?)
Gogoat was about to reply that it had found Shizuru.
But in the next instant, it heard another Totten Turtle say, "Bago Bago!" (After you left, we met Shizuru. He stayed by your side the whole time!)
Gogoat froze, its face filled with confusion. "Agasy?"
The Totten Turtle responded, "Bago~" (Shizuru is so nice! He took us to play on the ground, picked fruit with us, and shared stories about you.)
Another Totten Turtle nodded, "Bago!" (That's right! He even protected us during the big earthquake. But later, Shizuru left, and we never saw him again. We really want to play with him again!)
Regret filled the Totten Turtle's voice.
Before leaving, Shizuru asked them to sleep well in this place, assuring them that they would see him when they woke up.
Hearing this, Gogoat was dumbfounded.
It looked at Shizuru with a bewildered expression, "Agasy?"
Shizuru didn't understand the conversation between the Totten Turtles and Gogoat, and he stared at the dozens of Totten Turtles in astonishment.
So many?!
The Totten Turtles followed Gogoat's gaze.
In the next moment, the gazes of Shizuru and the dozens of Totten Turtles met in mid-air.
Amidst Shizuru's bewildered expression, a large group of Totten Turtles flew towards him, encircling him with joy.
"Bago Bago Bago!"
Wonderful! Shizuru hadn't lied; they could sleep and see him again after waking up!
