Chapter 677: Shizuru and Totten Turtle
Chapter 677: Shizuru and Totten Turtle
Before Shizuru's journey through time, the DLC for the Zhu Zi game had not yet been released.
He had heard rumors about the third deity, Totten Turtle, but had never seen them, let alone knew their appearance, let alone their strength.
Seeing them now with his own eyes was truly hard to believe.
The third deity of the Feng Yuan Region was the Sky God, Lie Kong Zuo.
The third deity of the Shen Ao Region was Regidrago.
The third deity of the He Zhong Region was Kyurem.
The third deity of the Ka Luo Si Region was Gigalith.
The third deity of the Alola Region was Nai Ke Luo Zi Ma.
The third deity of the Galar Region was Leocrown.
And without a doubt, based on current intelligence, Totten Turtle was clearly the third deity of the Paldea Region.
Could a small body like theirs truly possess power comparable to Legendary Pokemon? And there were multiple of them...
If they truly had the strength of Leocrown or Lie Kong Zuo, these dozens of Totten Turtles could potentially rule the entire world.
Shizuru snapped out of his daze as he stared at the large group of Totten Turtles before him.
"I told you that when you wake up again, I'll take you all out with me, right?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Turtle!" The Totten Turtles nodded their little heads, sounding like a flock of ducks quacking.
Shizuru: "..."
He took a deep breath and said, "In that case, follow me and Gogoat closely."
"Turtle~!"
Delighted to be taken out by Shizuru, the Totten Turtles cheered.
They immediately huddled together, like a charm hanging behind Shizuru and Gogoat.
Shizuru looked around; there didn't seem to be anything else of note in the area.
It was clear now that these Pokemon were the source of Tera Energy, and the time machine was built based on this energy.
Shizuru closed his eyes, and a clear timeline appeared in his mind.
Over a decade ago, the Paldea League began investigating the Pantier Giant Pit and made some discoveries. Dr. Or린 and Dr. Forest built a research institute and time machine in Area Zero.
Until today, nine years later, in Union Calendar 206, Dr. Or린 and Dr. Forest passed away to protect Gogoat.
Because of his relationship with the two doctors, Ai, who inherited their memories and emotions, sought his help to shut down the time machine.
However, Dr. Or린 and Dr. Forest in Union Calendar 198 and the AI in Union Calendar 206 were both calling for Gogoat simultaneously.
Two different futures calling for Gogoat from the same point in the past nearly tore it apart with conflicting temporal energies.
In the end, he, who knew everything, chose to let go and personally sent Gogoat back to Union Calendar 198, to his past self.
And thus, the loop was closed.
But now, he discovered that the Totten Turtles, supposed to be extinct, were still alive.
He would save the Totten Turtles from extinction and let them sleep in the Great Void until Union Calendar 206, when he would discover them.
Shizuru's face was filled with bitterness; this was indeed a perfect loop!
Oh well! What's done cannot be undone; the most important thing now is to completely resolve the crisis brought about by the Paradox Pokemon.
Only then can he protect his family and friends living in the Paldea Region.
Shizuru returned to the elevator with Gogoat.
Just as he was about to step onto the elevator, Gogoat suddenly looked into the distance: "Agasy?"
Shizuru followed its gaze and saw a notebook on a dusty table.
It was...
Shizuru hesitated for a moment, then walked over to pick up the notebook, brushing off the dust. He discovered that it seemed to be research materials left by Dr. Or린 regarding the underground Great Void.
[In the lower levels of Area Zero, there exists a vast void where the Totten Turtles' Zero Treasure slumbers in its deepest depths. Its crystallized body protects it from external threats, but it seems to require some time to awaken.]
[Perhaps influenced by the Totten Turtles, an unprecedented Tera Energy phenomenon is occurring within the Great Void, encompassing all attributes. I've decided to temporarily refer to this Tera Energy attribute as Star Crystal.]
"Star Crystal?" Shizuru was puzzled by this unfamiliar term.
He continued reading, hoping to find more information, but unfortunately, Dr. Or린 didn't provide much detail.
Below was an investigation report on the Great Void.
[We refer to the region below Area Zero as the Great Void. Based on the geological layers, I estimate that this void formed approximately 2 million years ago.
【The remnants indicate that the pit was filled with countless objects until the formation of the abyss, with a collapse depth of approximately 1000 meters. There are signs of repeated collapses, likely due to crustal activity, rain, and groundwater erosion. After the most massive collapse, the terrain has remained stable until today, and the Totten Turtle clan is suspected to have perished in this collapse, leaving only one in a crystallized state, falling into a deep slumber.】
"Two million years ago?" Looking at this familiar scene, Shizuru's heart was filled with complexity. Could it be that Moto-Lizard had traveled through time to a world millions of years ago?
Two million years, a short phrase, yet an eternity of time separated it from the present.
Shizuru remained silent for a long time, and after a while, he slowly exhaled and continued to look down.
At this moment, a random thought from Dr. Orlin caught his attention.
【During the investigation of the secret treasure, a temporal shift occurred, transporting me to another spacetime. Judging by the temperature and humidity, it seems to be the East mentioned in the literature.】
【In a distant place... The air is filled with the scent of sulfur. Near a pond, I encountered two children riding Gogoats and Totten Turtles. One of them gave me a white book that recorded not only the events of the Great Abyss but also the awakening of the Totten Turtles... I wonder who the author of this book, Bai Lei Ya, is.】
These brief passages revealed a wealth of information.
It seemed that while investigating this area, Dr. Orlin had also traveled through time and space due to Tera Energy, arriving in another place.
Not only that, but she also met two girls there, each riding a Gogoat and a Totten Turtle.
"Who are they? Is this also something that happened in the future?"
"The Zhu Zi Book... Bai Lei Ya... Isn't she a teacher at the Blue Academy?"
Shizuru had a strong impression of this person.
She had approached him for a chat, discussing the Zhu Zi Book and her thoughts on Haizhe.
And Bai Lei Ya seemed to be Haizhe's descendant.
If that were the case, did Dr. Orlin obtain the Zhu Zi Book from the future? Shizuru felt a bit confused.
Paradox Pokemon, the time machine, not only involved the future and the past but also time loops and time paradoxes.
The main storyline of the Paldea region is so chaotic...
Shizuru felt dizzy.
He shook his head, storing these notes on his person, intending to bring them back for a thorough study of the information they contained.
He, along with the Gogoat and several dozen Totten Turtles, filled the elevator to capacity.
The elevator ascended for several minutes before coming to a stop.
As the elevator doors opened, Shizuru returned to Area Zero.
He looked at the Totten Turtles beside him.
There were no lavish meals or places to play at the Zero Zone Research Institute. Unless something unexpected happened, he would be staying in this place for the next period.
First, he had to send the Paradox Pokemon that had escaped to the Paldea region back to their own time through the time machine.
Second, he needed to help Dr. Orlin with one last task—shutting down the time machine.
To shut down the time machine, they required the Zhu Zi Book held by Pai Pa, as the key to deactivating it was embedded in the book.
Therefore, Shizuru planned to send the Totten Turtles back to the farm first.
He began by asking for the Totten Turtles' opinions.
"Totten Turtles, I have one more thing to do. I'll take you to my home first, where there are many Pokemon for you to play with. After I finish my business here, I'll return, so what do you think?" Shizuru asked.
"Turtle?" The Totten Turtles were curious.
"They're all very kind Pokemon. You'll definitely have fun playing with them," Shizuru said.
"Turtle!" The Totten Turtles chirped happily.
So they would wait for Shizuru to finish his business there!
A few Totten Turtles anxiously instructed, "Turtle-turtle!" (We'll wait for you to finish your business and come find us!)
Shizuru nodded, "No problem, I'll return after I'm done."
Just as he was about to contact Rotom with his phone, he received a call from Little Tree.
"Dad, when are you coming home?" Little Tree's whiny voice came through the phone.
"Dad has one more thing to take care of. After it's done, he'll return home. You must listen to Mom at home, okay?" Shizuru said.
"But Little Tree hasn't seen Dad in a long time!" Little Tree wiped away her tears, feeling aggrieved, "Erguipu and Frost L сказать miss Dad too!"
"I know." Shizuru felt heartbroken and gently comforted her, "Dad misses you too. I promise that after this matter is resolved, I'll come back immediately. Then, Dad will take you to the beach to collect shells, okay?"
"Really?" Little Tree was tempted but still a bit worried, "Dad, pinky promise!"
"Okay, pinky promise. A hundred years won't change it," Shizuru made a pinky promise with his daughter through the screen, "By the way, Little Tree, I found you some good friends to play with."
"Good friends?" Little Tree became curious, "Who are they?"
"You'll find out soon," Shizuru teased, leaving her in suspense.
"Alright then!" On the other end of the line, Shizuru suddenly stood up, as if caught red-handed, glancing around before hiding in the corner with her Rotom Phone and whispering, "Dad, I'll tell you a secret. Shizuru's going to have a little brother! Mom doesn't want you to worry, so she told me not to say anything."
A little brother?
Upon hearing this, Shintaro was momentarily taken aback.
He quickly understood and said to Shizuru, "Dad knows."
"Don't tell Mom that Shizuru told you!" Shizuru feared her father would tattle.
"Okay, Dad won't say anything," Shintaro nodded. "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go to the Champion and bring our new friend back to the farm."
Hanging up the call, Shintaro sent a message to Ki Shu.
[You've worked hard. Wait for me to come home!]
Next, he dialed the Champion's number.
Soon, the Champion appeared in Area Zero, and with Shintaro's request, they slightly moved their consciousness, bringing dozens of Totten Turtles back to the farm.
Meanwhile, at the farm.
Ki Shu watched her daughter wiping away tears, secretly missing her father, and couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
She walked over, picked up her daughter, and asked, "Do you miss your dad, Shizuru?"
"Mhm!" Shizuru frowned. "But Dad said he can't come back yet..."
Ki Shu gently patted her daughter's head and explained, "That's because Dad is protecting us. He's doing something very important. Some naughty Pokemon have come to our place, and they might harm many people and kind Pokemon."
"Dad is capturing those naughty Pokemon and sending them back to their homes. That way, everyone will be safe. He's a great person. Once he's done, he can come home and be with us."
The young Shizuru sniffled and nodded. "Mhm, Shizuru will listen!"
At that moment, a lively sound came from outside.
Ki Shu, with Shizuru, stepped out to see the Champion leading a large group of small turtle Pokemon into the farm.
Ki Shu was a little stunned.
But Shizuru was delighted.
Her father hadn't lied; he had indeed sent many friends to keep her company and play with her!
She wriggled out of her mother's embrace, ran excitedly to the Totten Turtles, and introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm Shizuru! Let's be good friends together!"
The Totten Turtles sensed a friendly aura from her and instantly became very happy.
"Turtle!"
After seeing off the Totten Turtles, Shintaro focused all his energy on the Time Machine.
The sooner he finished his work here, the sooner he could return home to his family.
In the Zero Zone Research Institute, Shintaro stood before the monitoring machine and said to Dr. Or린, "By the way, I have a question."
"What is it?" Or린 Ai looked over.
"I saw the word 'Star Crystal' in the notes the doctor left behind. What does it mean?" Shintaro asked.
Or린 Ai pondered for a moment, then explained, "You must have already seen the Totten Turtles. The Star Crystal is a phenomenon influenced by the Totten Turtles, discovered within the Greatbyss, and it's a Tera Energy attribute within the Greatbyss."
"The Star Crystal doesn't correspond to any attribute. This Tera Energy attribute encompasses all attributes of Tera Energy. When a Pokemon with Star Crystal Tera Energy undergoes Tera Evolution, it unleashes the power of all attributes. In summary, it's a force even more powerful than Tera Energy."
It did sound incredibly powerful.
Unfortunately, he couldn't use it, and after understanding the meaning of Star Crystal, Shintaro shifted his attention entirely to the large screen in front of him.
The goal was to find the Gogoat that had escaped from Area Zero.
And now, their search had finally yielded results.
According to the information, the severely injured Gogoat, after escaping the Pantier Giant Pit, headed south, and eventually fell onto the beach next to Little Town due to exhaustion. It was rescued by a trainer named Xiao Qing.
Currently, Xiao Qing had brought the Gogoat to enroll at the Orange Academy.
Looking at the girl and the Gogoat on the screen, Shintaro said to Dr. Or린, "Let it be her!"
"Is the child with her?" Dr. Or린 also noticed the girl and the Gogoat at that moment.
"She's very talented. She already has three Gym Badges and has defeated those Treasure Pokemon with Pai Pa. With her help, Pai Pa can safely pass through those dangerous Paradox Pokemon and reach this place." Shintaro explained.
Similar to the game's storyline, Pai Pa's father figure was injured, and to heal him, Pai Pa was currently searching for the Secret Sauce.
Although Shintaro didn't understand why Pai Pa didn't seek his help, after all, the Life Milk's effects were no less than the Secret Sauce.
But based on his understanding of Pai Pa, the child probably didn't want to trouble him.
Moreover, not only that, but Xiao Qing had also caught the attention of the battle-crazed Ni Mo, and her outstanding performance had attracted the attention of the "Elder Care Pokemon Three Deities."
Currently, Xiao Qing was working with the Gogoat on the "Stellar Operation."
Xiao Qing, Pai Pa, Ni Mo, and Mu Danian.
With this, all four members of the 'Zhu Zi' squad had appeared.
Next, with proper guidance, they could be led to the Pantier Giant Pit and enter Area Zero.
Allow Pai Pa to see his parents one last time and shut down the Time Machine completely.
