Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 674 Ouroboros (6000 words long chapter)
"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

With the shrill alarm ringing in his ears, Naoki stood in the room, looking at the huge time machine in front of him with a pale face.

At this moment, regret, pain, self-blame and other emotions lingered in Naoki's heart.

If he had been more cautious... or asked the Crown of Flowers to come over, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Naoki was filled with remorse.

"Ah geez..."

Gulden standing by had never seen such a straight tree before. He hung his head and looked very sad.

"I'm sorry, Naoki." Orin Ai came over: "The damage to the time machine is not serious. Futu and I will do our best to repair it and try to summon the Motor Lizard back."

"Can we still find the motorcycle lizard?" Naoki asked fiercely.

"It's difficult." Aolin Ai nodded: "But we will try our best."

Naoki was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why did Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu die?"

Orin Ai: "Not long ago, the paradoxical Pokémon in the giant pit rioted. The two professors went to the fourth observatory to investigate the situation. They were attacked by the paradoxical Pokémon, causing the observatory to explode. They lost their lives in order to protect Gulerton."

As expected...he still failed to change the fate of the two doctors?

Olin Ai and Futu Ai didn't say much. They turned around and began to repair the time machine using the remaining machinery in the institute.

But that will take some time.

The paradoxical Pokémon in the Padia Pit are still rioting.

Looking at the scene, Naoki took a deep breath, took out his Rotom phone, contacted the Padya Alliance, and told Yeci everything that happened here.

Then, he contacted the Great Hero Expedition Team and Crown of Buds, asking them to help find the God of Time Dialga, and then bring the Motor Lizard's Poké Ball to Area Zero.

Several Pokémon moved very quickly.

In just a few breaths, Ragnarok appeared here via teleportation carrying Motorlizard's Poké Ball.

The moment he handed the Poké Ball to Naoki, he noticed that something seemed to be wrong with his mood.

"What happened?" asked the Rape Crown King.

"Motorcycle fell into the time machine to protect me." Looking at the Poké Ball in his hand, Naoki's mind uncontrollably emerged the image of Motorcycle protecting him from Milton's attack.

He couldn't imagine how Motorlizard had managed to cross so many dangers and pass through so many paradoxical Pokémon to reach this place alone.

However, there is a God of Time in this world, and he must find the Motorcycle Lizard back no matter what!

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden halo suddenly appeared beside him.

Hoopa's figure emerged from it, and when he saw Naoki, he looked very happy: "Hey, Naoki, what do you want to see Hoopa today?"

"Hoopa, I want you to help me rescue the God of Time Dialga." Naoki said seriously.

Fishing for Dialga?
This kind of thing is easy for it!

“Leave it to me!” Hoopa suddenly transformed into Liberation Hoopa. A huge golden halo slowly flew out and hovered behind it: “Hoopa—Laolao!”

The next second, blue light emerged from the halo, and Dialga's huge steel-blue body flew out of it.

"Dialga, I want to ask you a favor." Naoki raised his head and looked at the strange Pokémon in front of him: "I have a Pokémon that fell into the time machine. I want you to bring it back for me. As long as you can bring it back, I can agree to any conditions."

The God of Time looked at the human in front of him, and with a quick glance of his red eyes, he understood what the other person meant.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that," it said.

Naoki was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"Because it has come back to you."

Naoki was slightly startled.

But Dialga set his sights in a certain direction.

Naoki followed its line of sight, and then saw a very familiar figure in the open space.

Strong body, scarlet dragon scales, golden pupils...

That is, Gulerton.

Naoki's pupils shrank slightly. What did Dialga mean by...?
"Ah geez..."

Gulden was blaming himself for not saving his past self, when he suddenly heard Dialga's words. He raised his head abruptly, and then his eyes met Naoki's.

Seeing Naoki standing there in a daze, Gu Leton knew that he could no longer hide it.

In order not to make Naoki so sad, it slowly stood up and walked towards Naoki.

At this moment, whether it was Bud Crown, Dialga, or Hoopa, all of them turned their eyes to it.

It seemed as if Gulden had walked millions of years in just these few steps.

Finally, it stood in front of Naoki again.

“Ah, gah, gah, gah!”

Gulden seemed to have made a great decision. It looked at the Poké Ball that belonged to its past self in Naoki's hand, then stretched out its head and touched the button on the Poké Ball with its forehead.

Naoki opened his eyes wide, and an unbelievable thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

No, it’s impossible, it’s absolutely impossible!

But the next second, that scene was played out in front of him.

A beam of red light poured out from the Poké Ball, wrapped around Gulden's body, and took it inside.

Because he was too shocked, Naoki's body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

"Dong dong!"

The Poké Ball fell to the ground, making a thumping sound.

At this moment, Naoki felt his whole body numb.

At this moment, he suddenly understood.

Why did Gulden appear on the ranch in the first place...

Why was Gulden so close to him even though they had just met for the first time...

Why is Gulden so familiar with Dragonite...

Why is Gulden so close to strange trees and small trees...

Why is Gulden so powerful...

Why is it that even though he has subdued the Gultun, there are still two Gultuns in Area Zero...

Why is Gul'ton so hostile to that Mil'ton...

That’s because there has never been any Gulden, and the one who has always been with him is Motorcycle Lizard!

Countless emotions surged in like a tide, turning into two lines of tears that slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Naoki fell to his knees and murmured, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

There was a flash of white light, and Gulden emerged from the Poké Ball.

It looked at Naoki who was blaming himself in front of it, without saying a word, but just gently moved its big head over and put it on his shoulder as usual, snuggling up to each other.

"Ah geez..."

The heroes of the expedition team all had sad expressions on their faces.

The Rape Crown King let out a slow sigh.

After a long time, Naoki finally calmed down a little.

Even though the truth of the matter was playing out in front of him, having lived with these two Pokémon for so long and having seen Gul'don and Motorlizard get jealous of each other so many times, he subconsciously had no way of regarding these two Pokémon as the same.

Where did the motorbike lizard that fell into the time machine go?
What did it go through and why did it become Gulden?
All kinds of questions arose in Naoki's mind.

Naoki looked at Dialga with some hopelessness and asked, "Is there really no way to bring Motorlizard back?"

"They are the same Pokémon. Even I can't do that."

After saying that, Dialga turned and left.

What if it was Arceus?
Naoki suddenly remembered the real Arceus he had met before.

He quickly came to his senses and asked the Crown of Flowers to bring Arceus's phone here.

The Princess Royal nodded slightly, and in a few breaths, she appeared in front of Naoki with the Arceus phone.

Naoki quickly took it from Him and tried to contact Arceus through Arceus's cell phone.

But one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Arceus never responded.

God's observation is over, and he has completely left this world.

Naoki's heart sank.

"Ah, gash..." Gultun hung his head, also looking very sad.

If possible, it also wants to get its past self back.

If Arceus doesn't work, what about using a time machine?

Naoki suddenly turned his gaze to the time machine that the two doctors' Ai were repairing.

Maybe through a time machine, we can call the Motorcycle Lizard back!

It's like calling upon those paradoxical Pokémon from the past and the future!
Naoki gradually calmed down.

He looked at the Great Hero Expedition Team and the Rape Crown King and thanked them, "Thank you, there are still some things to do in this place, and I can't return to the ranch for the time being. You should go home first, and I will come back when I find the Motorcycle Lizard!"

Several Pokémon left one after another.

Naoki stayed in the Area Zero Research Institute.

In the afternoon, Kuailong and Babu Tubo came over.

After receiving the news, the Padia Alliance immediately dispatched the main force of the alliance to the Padia Pit to establish a defense line to prevent those ferocious paradoxical Pokémon from breaking into the Padia region.

The two Pokémon were very sad when they heard that Motorlizard had fallen into the time machine.

But when they knew that Gulden was the Motorcycle Lizard, their faces were filled with surprise.

Naoki watched this scene in silence, then found Orin Ai and asked, "Doctor, is it possible for modern Pokémon to become paradoxical Pokémon?"

Aolin Ai inherited all the knowledge and emotions of Dr. Aolin.

Hearing this, she thought about it carefully, and then nodded slightly:

"It is possible. The environment in the past was very different from ours. There was a lot of primitive, fundamental and destructive energy there."

These descriptions immediately reminded Naoki of a phenomenon that happened to Groudon and Kyogre - Primal Regression.

Could it be that the primitive and destructive energy contained in the distant ancient world caused the Motor Lizard to regress to its original state and become Gultun?
No one knows the real answer to this question.

In the evening, Qishu called.

As soon as the call was connected, Naoki heard Xiaoshu's voice.

Her voice was full of sleepiness, but despite being very sleepy, she still insisted on calling Naoki.

"Dad, when will you come back? Have you seen Motorlizard? Motorlizard said it was going to look for dad! It also promised me that it would come back and take me to catch butterflies on the World Tree!"

Hearing this, tears immediately welled up in his eyes. Naoki tried to stay calm and said to his daughter:

"Motor Lizard has found his father, but now he has lost a very important friend. He will stay here for a while. Can you let your sister and Yan Di take you out to play these few days?"

"Okay!" Xiaoshu was very well-behaved. Perhaps she was too sleepy, she yawned, and then reminded caringly: "Then Daddy must remember to eat and sleep on time!" "Yes, Daddy will." Naoki wiped away his tears.

Qishu heard something wrong in Naoki's tone, and after coaxing Xiaoshu to sleep, she took the Rotom phone and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Naoki calmed down a little: "Something happened in Area 0. Two professors died and the paradoxical Pokémon rioted. I have contacted the chief. The Padiya Alliance has begun to build a defense line above the giant pit to block those paradoxical Pokémon."

In fact, Qi Shu had already received the message.

She was very worried: "What about you? How are you?"

Naoki couldn't help himself in the end. He covered his face with his hands and said, "In order to protect me, the motor lizard fell into the time machine developed by the two doctors and went to another time and space..."

If he had anticipated the danger here earlier and brought a few more Pokémon, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Naoki's tone was full of regret and self-blame.

It’s a pity that there is no if in the world…

"You can definitely find it back!" Qi Shu didn't know how to comfort her. As a trainer, she knew the pain of losing a Pokémon, especially a Pokémon that had accompanied the trainer for nine years, eating and sleeping with the trainer every day: "Don't give up!"

"Yeah." Naoki gradually calmed down: "Go to sleep!"

Qishu nodded slightly. After hanging up the phone, she looked at the test paper in her hand, thought about it, and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​telling Naoki the news.

In the research institute, Orin Ai and Futu Ai were repairing the time machine day and night.

Ai's body means they don't need to eat or sleep.

Naoki and Gulerton curled up together on a small single bed.

In a trance, Naoki seemed to have returned to the days nine years ago when he first came into this world and lived in that shabby wooden house with the motor lizard.

At that time, he was penniless and had only a motorcycle lizard with him.

They cooked simple meals in the house and enjoyed the meals together. When they went to sleep at night, the cold-fearing Motorcycle Lizard would squeeze in beside him.

During the day, they worked together to tidy up the pasture and till the fields.

At night, they sleep in each other’s arms.

Naoki will never forget that time in his life.

He looked at Gulden in front of him and couldn't believe what happened today.

"Are you really a motor lizard?"

"Ah, gash..." Gulden nodded his big head and snuggled up to Naoki gently, just like they did at the beginning.

"How did you become like this?" Naoki touched its big head.

Gulerton shook his head: "Ah gah!"

It didn't know either, it looked like this when it woke up!
But it remembered one thing. A long time ago, it had eaten the wish dish made by Naoki. At that time, because it envied the powerful strength of Gultun, it secretly made a wish and wanted to become a Pokémon like Gultun!
"Wishful dish..." Naoki recalled this dish.

His mood was very complicated. It turned out that Motor Lizard had always been envious of Gulden?
"What did you encounter in the past?" Naoki was eager to know what the Motorcycle Lizard encountered after entering the time machine and how it went back to nine years ago.

"Ah, gah..." Gulden thought for a while, and then told Naoki everything that had happened to him, one by one.

Including the fact that it learned to dig holes to avoid danger, including the flapping wings, including the Padya Pit, and including a group of little turtles that helped it.

Little turtle? Is it Tailebagos?
Naoki was stunned. As far as he knew, the time machine was built because of the energy of Tailebagos.

Could it be that Taijing energy really has the ability to travel through time?

"Then why don't you tell me all this?" Naoki asked again.

"Ah, gash..." Gulden immediately hung his head, like a pitiful and aggrieved big dog.

Because it has seen how the future has changed because the past has been changed.

The Arceus incident, the Victini incident...

It originally wanted to give the opportunity to stay with Naoki to its past self, and after this matter was over, it would tell Naoki everything and then correct itself.

So, it was not revealed in advance.

It had been searching for tens of thousands of years. It missed Naoki so much. It just wanted to stay with Naoki a little longer, even for just one day.

But I didn't expect...

After listening to this, Naoki felt extremely complicated.

Leave the opportunity to your past self?
Sure enough, even after becoming a Gulton, the Motorcycle Lizard is still the kind-hearted little angel Motorcycle Lizard.

The more this happened, the more Naoki felt guilty.

It's all his fault. It's all his fault.

If he had been more cautious at the time, something like this would not have happened today.

Naoki rested his head on Gulden's body and remained silent for a long time.

And Gulden seemed to sense his thoughts, and he quickly and clumsily consoled him: "Ah, gah!"

Don’t blame Naoki, it has never blamed Naoki!

It likes Naoki very much and wants to stay with Naoki forever no matter what it becomes!
Naoki became even sadder.

Pokémon...this is Pokémon. They will always accompany their trainers and always protect their trainers. No matter what happens, they will never abandon their trainers.

How can anyone not like such simple creatures?

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Motorlizard."

*
Never-before-seen Pokémon have appeared in large numbers in the Padia region, attacking nearby Pokémon and residents!
Once this matter fermented, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire Padya.

Fortunately, Naoki had ordered Babutu and Dragonite to take action, and with the help of Yeci, he was able to capture those ferocious paradoxical Pokémon in time and send them back to the Padya Pit.

In just half a month, most of the paradoxical Pokémon that had fled to the Padya region were captured.

Although a small number still remain, they do not attack humans.

The staff of the Padya Alliance were unable to track, so they stopped temporarily, but they did not give up, and kept an eye on the movements in various places.

If a paradoxical Pokémon attack occurs again, the Padia Alliance will take action again.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Inside the Padia Pit, the two doctors' Ai have successfully repaired the damaged time machine.

They controlled the time machine and began to search for the traces of the motor lizard in the vast river of time.

But this behavior is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

A day passed, a week passed, and more than a month passed, but there was still no trace of the motorcycle lizard.

In just one month, Naoki had grown a thick beard on his face. His hair and beard, which had not been groomed for a long time, made him look like a savage.

But even so, Naoki still did not leave Area Zero.

It wasn't until the thirty-eighth day that there was finally news from the time machine.

Olin Ai looked at the information above and said to Naoki:
"We have successfully captured the trace of the Motor Lizard. Do you want to summon it?"

Found it?! Naoki stood up suddenly, rushed to the front, and nodded without hesitation: "Summon!"

Orin Ai pressed the switch, and the next second, the huge time machine started to rumble.

The white light kept flickering and my ears were filled with a strange buzzing sound.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Naoki stared at the time machine in front of him without blinking.

I don’t know how long it had been, but the huge time machine suddenly made a roaring sound, as if it was about to break down.

Olin Ai frowned and murmured, "No, it's impossible!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Naoki asked hurriedly.

Orin Ai: "It is detected that another force is summoning the Motor Lizard at the same time!"

Naoki was slightly stunned: "How could this happen?" Is there someone else besides him who is summoning the Motorcycle Lizard?

Aolinai's voice was more serious than ever before. She said in an almost alarming tone:
"If we continue like this, the Motorcycle Lizard will be in danger. The two completely different space-time energies will cause space-time chaos, and will tear the Motorcycle Lizard apart!"

Futuai, who was standing by, seemed to have found something and quickly said, "That space-time energy is suspected to have come from nine years ago!"

Nine years ago? Naoki was stunned for a moment. Wasn't that the year when he first met Gulden?

"According to the data, Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu successfully summoned the first Gulton to the research institute in the spring nine years ago!" Dr. Futu said.

The next second, Naoki saw a video recording.

On the screen, the two doctors stood in front of the time machine, and in a flash of light, a Gulliver emerged from it.

The two doctors wanted to use the Poké Ball to capture it, but the Poké Ball was slapped away by the Gul'ton, and then it rushed out straight away.

That is……

At this moment, Naoki suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had thought of some possibility, and an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.

The next second, Orin Ai's warning sounded again: "Warning! The energy has reached its limit. The Motorcycle Lizard is in danger. If it continues, the Motorcycle Lizard will be torn into pieces by the chaotic space-time energy!"

Naoki struggled internally, but he gritted his teeth and finally decided to lend a helping hand to Motorcycle Lizard. He said without hesitation, "Cancel the summons!"

The rumbling time machine finally stopped working.

And the traces of the Motorcycle Lizard have completely disappeared in the long river of time.

Looking at the huge time machine in front of him, Naoki was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

At this moment, he understood everything.

He personally gave Gultun to his past self, sending him back to the original time.

*
Nine years ago, in the Padia Pit, in the Zone Zero Research Institute.

"The time machine has finally been successfully developed!"

Dr. Olin, who was wearing a white coat and a necklace decorated with animal teeth from ancient times, said excitedly.

"Finally, I can see the Pokémon from the future and the past recorded in the Book of Vermilion!" Dr. Fortu was also very excited.

"Let's try it now! I want to see Pokémon from different eras with my own eyes!" said Dr. Olin.

Dr. Futu nodded. He didn't know what he was thinking of. A hint of tenderness appeared on his face. He suddenly asked, "Is Pepper's eighth birthday coming soon?"

Dr. Olin hummed, "That's perfect. This time I can bring back the Pokémon from those times to live with Papa."

"Let's get started!" Dr. Futu happened to have the same idea.

Then, Dr. Fotu and his wife used the ID code to start the time machine.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a strange humming sound, the time machine started to operate quietly.

The space around the laboratory also underwent strange changes. The walls were like mirrors, emitting rhythmic red and purple lights.

The two of them stared at the time machine without blinking, excited and nervous.

Soon, the rhythm around slowed down.

Then, a dazzling red light flashed from the center of the time machine.

The two were extremely nervous.

As the light faded, a Pokémon they had never seen before appeared under the time machine.

The gears of fate began to turn slowly.

Thus, Lewton was born.
