Chapter 516: Prototype time machine, first start!

In the valley that maintains its original style, a pair of brand new hiking shoes steps on the weed-covered soil.

Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded.

"Go this way and you will reach the No. 1 Observation Station."

Luo Mu carefully looked at the paper map in his hand and said.

This time without Brother Aoki, a gold medal supporter, to lead the way, and also bringing Paipa with him, he can only carry the banner.

Fortunately, he visited the Padia Crater a few months ago. Even though he walked through it in a hurry because he was in a hurry, Luo Mu still had a general impression of the environment and terrain here.

Coupled with this map kindly gifted by Aoki, even in places like the Padia Crater where communication with non-specialized electronic equipment is impossible, the correct path can be found.

As long as you implement the idea of ​​"going down", you can successfully reach the end point.

"I see."

Pipa nodded seriously, paying careful attention to every step he took.

For Paipa, the environment of Padea Crater was something he had never seen before. There were unknown plants along the way, and the landscape was full of time.

Extremely fresh.

But it's also very dangerous.

Pipa had to be very energetic and pay attention to every detail of the exploration.

In fact, they had just experienced a pitched battle not long ago.

Different from the smooth landing that Luo Mu mentioned that he and Aoki landed, this time they were attacked by a paradoxical Pokémon on the way down.

An ancient species with dragon and evil attributes, Roaring Moon.

Fortunately, Kuailong's control over the airflow can be said to be completely different. Even if it carries Luo Mu and Paipa, its agility is greatly reduced, and it can crush the Roaring Moon just by controlling the airflow attack.

After the Roaring Moon crashed, the two of them successfully got their feet on the ground.

This sudden attack also made Pipa realize how dangerous the Padea Crater was compared to the wilderness he and Nemo Papa traveled through.

He put aside all his thoughts and followed Luo Mu to explore with unprecedented seriousness.

Because Pipa understands that Luo Mu cannot accompany him every time. One day in the future, he will always have to act on his own. The more he learns, the better he will be able to help him in the future.

Pipa looked to her side and whispered: "Land jellyfish, I leave it to you to be vigilant."

"Niku."

A Pokémon that looks like a "sting jellyfish" but stands on the ground with its tentacles, moves quickly, and has a pink protrusion on its head. It looks like a combination of black fungus and hemorrhagic tooth fungus. It nods slightly.

Its characteristic is "The power of mycelium", and its effect is a bit complicated and cannot be used at the moment, so I won't discuss it for now.

But this characteristic also gives land jellyfish with grass attributes on the ground the ability to control mycelium.

It can spawn a large amount of mycelium and spread to the nearby soil. As long as a wild Pokémon approaches a certain range, the land jellyfish will be able to detect it.

As far as the ability to detect the environment is concerned, it is enough.

Next to Luo Mu is a giant swamp monster who is full of tendons and much stronger than ordinary members of the same race. He is responsible for protecting the safety of him and Pipa.

Although he could ride on the Thunder Drum and move forward, Luo Mu still chose to move forward on foot considering that its movement speed and flexibility might not be as good as his own.

The Padia Crater and Area Zero are very large.

At that time, Luo Mu and Qingmu traveled almost the entire journey, and it took them nearly ten hours to reach the middle area.

There was no rush this time, and the two of them kept moving forward at a constant speed.

If a wild Pokémon comes to attack, Swampert will take a step forward and punch the opponent away with two punches.

Water rupture, 100,000 horsepower, and freezing punch are all suitable for you.

Pipa swallowed silently as he watched the Swampert violently press a giant bronze elephant hammer that was larger than himself.

I always feel that the giant swamp monster in Brother Luo Mu's house seems to be more violent than before.

He was frightened by the strength.

It was Bang Bang who drove away the attacking King Bronze Elephant with a few more punches. The Swamp Monster silently returned to Luo Mu and took over the backpack he was carrying, trying to reduce the burden on his trainer as much as possible.

The wild Pokémon in Padia Pit and Area Zero are indeed ferocious, and from time to time there are even more ferocious Paradox Pokémon mixed in there.

Even Gym Leaders and the Four Heavenly Kings must be cautious when exploring.

But compared to a few months ago, the strength of Luo Mu's main Pokémon has basically undergone another round of transformation. In this upper area, he is no different from Swampert or Kai Wushuang.

In addition, many ferocious Pokémon were not active during the day, so they arrived at the first observation station earlier than last time.

Just like Luo Mu's previous memories, the gate and interior of the No. 1 Observation Station were still covered with a thick layer of dust. It was obvious at a glance that almost no one had been here.

Following Aoki's example, he passed the "human authentication" and entered the first observation station without a password. Luo Mu looked around, pointed to the single bed over there and said, "We are safe for the time being. You can stay over there." Rest for half an hour, and then we’ll continue.”

After all, Paipa's physical strength is not as good as that of an adult like Luo Mu, or that he can walk all day long in leather shoes, a day job worker named Aoki, so proper rest is necessary.

Pipa also knew that Luo Mu was thinking about him, and a warmth arose in his heart. Before taking a rest, he curiously asked Luo Mu a question.

"Brother Luo Mu, why does the No. 1 Observation Station look like no one has lived there for a long time? Don't we need people to stay here?"

Papa noticed that the dust accumulated here at the 1st Observatory looked like the closed room of his parents at home.

Luo Mu thought for a moment, and based on some information he had learned in the past few months, he said: "In the past, there would occasionally be people living here for a period of time to collect specimens of plants and other things around."

"Now, except for the fixed supply team like us who would rest here, basically no one would come here. After all, this is essentially a safe house."

Papa blinked, showing a look of understanding.

At Luo Mu's eye signal, after the land jellyfish tidied up the gray sheets, Papa lay on the single bed and slowly fell asleep.

In his dream, he heard his parents calling, which made Papa very happy. He subconsciously uttered and called them.

It was not until a pair of hands were placed on him that Papa's confused consciousness slowly woke up. His parents' calls were still ringing in his ears, which made him think he was still in a dream.

But——

"Pepper, Pepper!"

Luo Mu simply let Swampert spray some water on his hands, and smeared it on the silly open-eyed Pepper's face, forcing him to wake up.

As for the voice calling Pepper, it came from the speaker built into the observatory above his head.

After restarting the computer, Pepper realized that the two voices were the voices of Futu and Orin!

He widened his eyes and shouted excitedly: "Dad, Mom!"

Orin and Futu, who were communicating with this place, also responded.

In his excitement, Pepper looked at Luo Mu, wanting to ask him what was going on.

As if he saw through his thoughts, Luo Mu chuckled and said, "Before coming here, I learned some techniques from Mudan and repaired the communication module that had been in disrepair for a long time, so that we can communicate with the people below."

On the other end of the signal, Dr. Futu also echoed, "Although we heard that you would come down recently, we were still shocked by the sudden signal from the 1st Observation Station."

Dr. Olin also said, "The 1st Observation Station is at least one day away from the Zero Zone Research Institute. You must be careful on the road."

"Pai Pa, please take care of me, Brother Luo Mu. My husband and I will wait for you at the Zero Zone Research Institute."

Next, Pai Pa chatted with the two doctors about family matters. Luo Mu hoped to arrive at the 3rd Observation Station on the middle floor before the sun went down, rest there for a night, and arrive at the Zero Zone Research Institute in one go the next day.

Pai Pa could only reluctantly say goodbye to his parents on the other end of the communication and continue on the road.

In order to save some energy, Pai Pa rode his Yue Yue Xiong, while Luo Mu rode the Wind Speed ​​Dog to hurry on.

Two Pokémon that both originated from the past Greenland actually met in this way in the modern world. In a sense, it was quite romantic.

If he met a difficult guy that Windy Dog and Luna couldn't handle on the road, Luo Mu would call out the rather excited Thunder Drum, and clear the field with one move of discharge. He moved very quickly.

On the way.

Papa curiously asked Luo Mu when he was going to announce the existence of Luna. Now he is often asked what Pokémon Luna evolved from. To be honest, it's a bit annoying.

Luo Mu could only answer that he was preparing.

He planned to visit Professor Oak in Pallet Town and give the Celebration Armor to Xiaozhi. Calculating the time, the other party is about to start the journey to the Hoenn region.

At that time, he can ask Professor Oak how to announce the evolution of Luna, or maybe ask Professor Oak to publish it on his behalf, after all, Luo Mu is not a researcher or Pokémon doctor.

After hurrying along the way, the two arrived at the middle level of Area 0, the 3rd Observation Station, before the clouds above their heads gradually darkened.

This time, they did not encounter Ironthorn, but saw a fleeting Flutterhair.

Luo Mu remembered that this ancient paradoxical Pokémon was very violent and warlike. Could it be that it did not come to attack because it was daytime?

Considering the characteristics of ancient paradoxical Pokémon, this does not make sense.

In order to be on the safe side, while repairing the communication module of the 3rd Observation Station, Luo Mu strengthened the defense at night and prepared to take turns to guard the night with the Pokémon.

Ghost Pokémon are elusive, and even if the 3rd Observation Station is built in a safer place, the possibility of being invaded cannot be ruled out.

Fortunately, after a night, Flutterhair did not appear to attack. Papa, who was tired all day, slept well, and Luo Mu also got enough rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, the two continued to move down.

Finally, late at night on the second day, he successfully sneaked into the lower level full of dazzling gems, crystal flowers, and spiral terrain, and advanced all the way to the bottom level full of countless huge dazzling gems, and finally arrived at the Zero Area Research Institute.

"Hmm"

Rubbing his chin, Luo Mu looked at the behemoth in front of him thoughtfully.

"Compared to last time, this place has changed a lot."

He said with a sigh.

When I came here before, there was nothing except a simple elevator.

Now there is not only a huge building complex, but the main building of the institute is also covered by a huge crystal, which looks particularly dreamy.

It is exactly the same as Luo Mu's memory.

He guessed that this was probably an additional result of the two doctors' research on crystallization, which made the building crystallize and resist the attacks of the ferocious Pokémon at the bottom of the zero area.

It's just that the entrance to the Zero Area Research Institute is not the elevator in the game, but the other side.

As for that elevator, Luo Mu thought it should be heading to the place mentioned by the two doctors, which is even lower than the bottom of Area Zero, called the "Zero Hollow".

In front of the gate of the institute, Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu had been waiting for a long time. Behind them were several researchers wearing white coats. Among them, Luo Mu also saw the figure of Moru.

Seeing the figures of Luo Mu and Papa, they smiled brightly and took the initiative to greet them.

"Welcome."

Before Futu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Papa who crashed into his arms like a cannonball.

Fortunately, as a doctor, Futu's figure and physique were even better than Kukui. He just shook his body slightly to dissolve all the impacts.

Noticing the slightly trembling body of Piper in his arms and the tears that seemed to wet his clothes, Futu's face softened all of a sudden. He patted his back gently and apologized, "Long time no see, Piper."

"And I'm sorry for leaving you alone at home."

Dr. Olin, who was generous in her personality, actions and even dress, also silently hugged her son and husband.

Parent-child reunion is often the most touching.

Several researchers behind him also turned their backs and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

They knew the feelings of the two doctors best and could empathize with them.

After the three of them had been cozying for a while, Moru, who had been promoted to a formal researcher, reminded them, "Doctor, it's almost time."

Olin raised his head and whispered, "I understand."

Futu held Papa and asked Luo Mu, "It's almost time to overhaul the prototype time machine. Since you have arrived, you can start it for the first time at any time."

"But considering that you have traveled a long way, why don't you rest in the institute tonight and conduct the experiment tomorrow?"

No matter how anxious they were, Futu and Olin would not let Luo Mu, who had arrived at the Zero Zone Institute intact with Papa, work non-stop as soon as he arrived.

Papa no longer buried his face in Dr. Futu and whispered, "I'm not tired yet."

Luo Mu, who understood what Papa meant, raised his mouth and agreed, "We will rest after a while. We are not too tired now. Let's just do the first startup experiment directly."

"Okay, we will prepare immediately."

Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu were not shy people. They immediately said they would prepare.

Luo Mu and Papa, led by Moru, had a late-night snack in the institute, and then took the elevator inside to the deepest part of the institute.

Arriving in the huge space, Luo Mu looked at the device called "time machine", which was a crystallization of technology that did not seem to be a product of this era.

Even he could not help but feel excited.

Not only was it to witness the first start of the time machine, but also the first Pokémon that was transported to this era by the time machine was also very curious.

Which paradox Pokémon came when it was first started?
