Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 677: Little Tree and Taile Bagos
Before Naoki traveled through time, Zhuzi's DLC had not yet been released.

Although he had more or less heard some rumors about the third god Tailebagos, he had never seen them, let alone their strength, he didn't even know what they looked like.

Seeing it with my own eyes now, it’s really hard to believe.

The third god of the Hoenn region is Rayquaza, the god of the sky.

The third god of the Sinnoh region is Giratina.

The third god of the Unova region is Kyurem.

The third god of the Kalos region is Zygarde.

The third god of the Alola region is Necrozma.

The third god of the Galar region is the Bud Crown.

And there is no doubt that according to the current information, Tailebagos is obviously the third god of the Padia region.

Does such a small body really contain power comparable to that of a legendary Pokémon?
And they are plural in number...

If they really possessed the power of Bud Crown and Rayquaza, they could probably rule the world with just these few dozen Talebagos.

Looking at the large group of Tailebagos in front of him, it took Naoki a long time to come back to his senses.

"Did I tell you that when you wake up again, I will take you away with me?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Bago!" The Taile Bagos nodded their little heads, like a group of ducks quacking.

Naoki: "..."

He took a deep breath and said, "In that case, you just follow behind me and Gulden."

"Bago~!"

When the Tailebagos saw that Naoki was going to take them out to play, they cheered and looked extremely happy.

They immediately huddled together and followed Naoki and Gulden like pendants.

Naoki looked around, and there seemed to be nothing worth noting here.

Now it seems that this group of Pokémon is obviously the source of Taicrystalization, and the time machine is also built based on Taicrystal energy.

Naoki closed his eyes, and a clear timeline immediately emerged in his mind.

More than a decade ago, the Padia Alliance began investigating the Padia Pit and achieved certain results. Dr. Olin and Dr. Fortu built a research institute and a time machine in Area Zero.

Nine years ago, in the 198th year of the League Calendar, he traveled to this world and met the first Pokémon, Motorlizard, from Mayor Thomas.

In the same year, Professor Olin and Professor Fortu officially began to call upon paradoxical Pokémon from the past and the future, and summoned Gulton, the original return of Motor Lizard.

During this period, Gulton and the Motor Lizard lived on the ranch.

Until nine years later, in the 206th year of the Alliance Calendar, Dr. Olin and Dr. Fortu died in order to protect Gulerton.

Because of his friendship with the two doctors, Ai, who inherited the memories and emotions of the two doctors, sought his help and asked him to come and shut down the time machine.

Because of his negligence, the Motor Lizard fell into the time machine, and after tens of thousands of years in the past, he finally found Tailebagos.

The Tailebagos of the past resonated with the time machine built by Taijing energy in the future, and then the Motor Lizard that turned into Gulton was called back.

However, the two doctors in the 198th year of the Alliance Calendar and Doctor Ai in the 206th year of the Alliance Calendar were calling for Gulerton at the same time.

The future at two different points in time simultaneously called out to Gultun at a certain point in the past, causing Gultun to be almost torn apart by two different space-time energies.

After knowing everything in the end, he finally chose to let go, and personally sent the Motor Lizard, which had turned into a Gulton, back to the 198th year of the Alliance Calendar, giving it to his past self.

At this point, the closed loop is complete.

But now, he discovered that the Tailebagos, which was supposed to be extinct, was still alive in the world.

If Tailebagos is not mistaken, he will go back to the past at some point in the future to accompany the Motorcycle Lizard of the past time and space.

He saved the Tailebagos from extinction, and then let them sleep in the Great Void until the 206th year of the Alliance Calendar, when they were discovered by him in the present day.

Naoki's face was full of bitterness. This is really a perfect closed loop!

That's all! What has happened cannot be changed. The most important thing now is to completely resolve the crisis brought about by the paradoxical Pokémon.

In this way, he could protect his family and friends living in the Padya region.

Naoki brought Gulden back to the elevator.

Just as he was about to get on the elevator, Gulden suddenly looked not far away and asked, "Ah, gah?"

Naoki followed its gaze and saw a notebook on a dusty table.

That is……

Naoki was stunned for a moment, then walked forward, picked up the notebook, dusted it off, and found that this seemed to be research data left by Dr. Olin related to this large underground cavity.

[There is a huge hole in the lower layer of the zero zone, and the Tailebagos Zero Secret Treasure is sleeping in the deepest part of the hole. Its crystallized body protects it from external enemies, but it seems to need some time to wake up.]

[I don't know if it's due to the influence of Taile Bagos, but a crystallization phenomenon that has never been seen on the ground is happening in the large cavity. I have decided to temporarily call this crystal attribute of star crystal, which includes all properties.]

"Star crystal?" Naoki was a little confused by this term he had never heard of before.

He continued to look down, trying to find relevant information, but unfortunately, Dr. Olin did not give much explanation.

The following is an investigation into the Great Void of Zero.

[We call the area below the zero zone the Great Void of Zero. Judging from the strata, I speculate that this void was formed about 200 million years ago.]

[The remaining traces show that until the formation of the hole, the hole was still filled with countless things. The depth of the collapse is about 1000 meters. There are traces of repeated collapses. It is speculated that the cause is probably crustal activity and erosion caused by rain and groundwater. Finally, after the largest-scale collapse until today, the terrain has remained stable. The Tailebagos tribe is suspected to have been wiped out in this collapse, and only one was left, which turned into a crystal form and fell into a deep sleep.]

"Two million years ago?" Looking at this familiar scene, Naoki felt extremely complicated. Doesn't that mean that the Motorcycle Lizard went to the world millions of years ago through a time machine?

Two million years, these four short words represent an infinite amount of time between us and now.

Naoki remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he slowly exhaled and continued to look down.

At this time, an essay from Dr. Olin caught his attention.

[During the process of investigating the secret treasure, a time-space shift occurred and I came to another time-space. Judging from the temperature and humidity, it should be the east that I had read about in the literature.]

[Far away... the smell of sulfur was everywhere. I met two children near the pond. They brought Gulden and Tailebagos. One of the children gave me a white book. It not only recorded the events of the Great Void, but also the awakening of Tailebagos... I really want to know who the author of this book, Bai Leya, is.]

These two short paragraphs reveal a huge amount of information.

It seemed that while Dr. Olin was investigating this place, he also traveled through time and space due to the Tai crystal energy and went to another place.

Not only that, she also met two girls there, one with Gulton and the other with Tailebagos.

"Who are they? Is this also happening in the future?"

"The Book of Vermilion...Bailiya...Isn't she a teacher at Blueberry Academy?"

Naoki was deeply impressed by this person.

The other party had talked to him before, and the content was roughly about his views on Zhu Zi's book and Hai Zhe.

And Bai Leya seems to be the descendant of Haizhe.

In that case, the Vermilion Book in Dr. Olin's hand was obtained from the future?
Naoki felt a little confused.

Paradoxical Pokémon and time machines not only involve the future and the past, but also time loops and time paradoxes.

The main storyline of the Padiya region is too confusing...

Naoki felt like he was going to faint.

He shook his head, put the notes in his pocket, and prepared to take them back to study the information in them carefully.

He, Gulden, and dozens of Tailebagos filled the elevator to the brim.

The elevator continued to go up, and after about a few minutes, it stopped.

The elevator door opened and Naoki returned to Area Zero again.

He looked at the Tailebagos around him.

There is no abundant food or places to play in the Zero Area Research Institute. If nothing unexpected happens, he will stay here for the next period of time. One is to send those paradoxical Pokémon that have fled to the Padiya area back to their own era through the time machine.

The second is to help Dr. Olin with one last favor and shut down the time machine.

If you want to shut down the time machine, you need the Book of Vermilion in Paper's hand, because the key to shut down the time machine and the Doctor's ID are on the Book of Vermilion.

Therefore, Naoki planned to send the Tailebagos back to the ranch first.

He first asked for the opinions of the Tailebagos.

"Tailebagos, I have something else to do next. I will send you to where I live first. There are many Pokémon there for you to play with. I will go back after I finish things here. What do you think?" Naoki asked.

"Bago?" Taile Bagos was quite curious.

"They are all very kind Pokémon, you can definitely play together." Naoki said.

"Bago!" The Tailebagos shouted happily.

Then they will wait there for Naoki to finish his work!
Some of the Taile Bagos worriedly said, "Bagogo!" (Naoki will come over there to find us when he's done!)

Naoki nodded: "No problem, I'll be back when I'm done."

After saying that, he was about to use Rotom's phone to contact the Bud Crown King when he suddenly received a call from Xiaoshu.

"Dad, when will you come back?" Xiaoshu's baby voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dad has some things to deal with, and he will be home after he is done. You have to listen to mom at home, okay?" Naoki said.

"But Xiaoshu hasn't seen his father for a long, long time!" Xiaoshu wiped away his tears aggrievedly: "Evil Ghost and Frost Milk Fairy miss their father very much too!"

"I know." Naoki felt very distressed. He comforted them softly, "Dad misses you too. Dad promises that he will go back immediately after dealing with this matter. Then Dad will take you to the beach to pick up shells and play, okay?"

"Really?" Xiao Shu was a little moved, but she was still a little worried: "Dad, pinky promise!"

"Okay, let's make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years." Naoki made a promise with his daughter across the screen: "By the way, Xiaoshu, I found some good friends for you to play with."

"Good friend?" Xiao Shu suddenly became curious: "Who is it?"

"You'll know soon." Naoki deliberately kept it a secret.

"That's great!" Xiaoshu on the other end of the phone suddenly stood up, looked around as if he was guilty, then hid in a corner with the Rotom phone and whispered, "Dad, I'm telling you a secret. Xiaoshu is going to have a brother! Mom was afraid you'd worry, so she didn't let me tell you!"

younger brother?

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly startled.

He immediately understood and said to Xiaoshu, "Dad knows."

"Don't tell mom that it was Xiaoshu who told you!" Xiaoshu was afraid that his father would tell on him.

"Okay, Dad won't tell you." Naoki nodded: "Then let's put it this way first, I'll go find the Rape Crown King and take my new friend back to the ranch."

After the call ended, Naoki sent a message to Qishu.

[Thank you for your hard work, wait for me to come home! ]

Then he called the King of Crown of Buds again.

Soon, the Flower Crown King appeared in Area Zero. At Naoki's request, he moved his mind slightly and brought dozens of Tailebagos back to the ranch.

At the same time, in the pasture.

Qishu couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw his daughter secretly wiping away tears because she missed her father.

She walked up, picked up her daughter, and asked, "Xiaoshu, do you miss your daddy?"

"Well!" Xiao Shu frowned: "But Dad said he can't come back now..."

Qi Shu gently touched his daughter's head and explained to her:
"That's because Dad is protecting us. He is doing something very important. Bad Pokémon have come to our place. They will hurt many people and many kind Pokémon."

"Dad is catching those bad Pokémon and sending them back to their homes. This way, everyone will be safe. He is a great man. When he is done, he can go home to be with our little tree."

The young tree sniffed and nodded, "Yes, I will be obedient!"

At this time, there was a lively sound coming from outside.

When Qishu and Xiaoshu walked out the door, they saw Budcrown and a large group of little turtle Pokémon appear in the ranch.

Qi Shu was a little confused.

And the little tree was very happy.

Dad didn’t lie to her, he really sent her a lot of good friends back to play with her!

She broke free from her mother's arms, excitedly ran to the Tailebagos and introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Xiaoshu! Let's be good friends!"

The Tailebagos felt a friendly vibe from her and were immediately very happy.

"Bago~!"

*
After sending Tailebagos away, Naoki focused all his energy on the time machine.

If he finishes his work here as soon as possible, he can go home earlier to be with his family.

In the Area Zero Research Institute, Naoki stood in front of the monitoring machine and said to Dr. Olin:

"By the way, I have a question."

"What?" Orin Ai looked over.

"I saw star crystals in the notes left by the doctor. What does that mean?" Naoki asked.

Orinai thought for a moment, then explained:
"You should have seen Taile Bagos. Star Crystal is the Tai Crystal attribute of the Tai Crystalization phenomenon discovered in the Great Void of Zero under the influence of Taile Bagos."

"Star Crystals do not correspond to any attribute. This Tai Crystal attribute encompasses the Tai Crystal power of all attributes. When a Star Crystal Pokémon is Tai Crystallized, it will exert the power of all attributes. In short, it is a force even more powerful than Tai Crystal."

It sounds powerful indeed.

It was a pity that he couldn't use it. After understanding Xingjing's meaning, Naoki shifted all his attention to the big screen in front of him.

This was the surveillance of Padya College that he entrusted Ye Ci to mobilize using his authority.

The purpose is to find the Gulden who escaped from Area Zero.

And now, their search has finally paid off.

According to intelligence, the seriously injured Gulliver fled from the Padiya Pit and headed south. Eventually, due to exhaustion, it fell onto the beach near Little Town and was rescued by a trainer named Xiaoqing.

Now, Xiaoqing has enrolled in Orange College with the Gulton.

Looking at the girl and Gulden on the screen, Naoki said to Dr. Olin, "Let's pick her!"

"Is the child with her?" Dr. Olin also noticed the girl and Gulden at this time.

"She is very talented. She has obtained three gym badges now, and defeated those Pokémon with Papa. With her around, Papa can successfully pass through those dangerous Perverse Pokémon and reach this place." Naoki said.

Just like the plot in the game, Papa's Mastiff Godfather is injured, and in order to heal it, Papa is now looking for secret seasonings everywhere.

Although Naoki was puzzled as to why Pepper didn't seek his help, after all, the effect of the Life Goat Milk was no less than that of the secret seasoning.

But based on what he knew about Papa, there was a good chance that the kid didn't want to bother him.

Not only that, Xiaoqing has now attracted the favor of Nemo, a battle maniac, and her outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of the "Queen of Fairies".

Now Xiaoqing is fighting the "Star Wars" with Gulden.

Xiaoqing, Papa, Nimo, and Peony.

In this way, all four members of the "Zhu Zi" team have appeared.

Next, all we need is proper guidance to lead them to the Padya Pit and into Zone Zero.

Let Papa see his parents for the last time, and shut down the time machine completely.
