Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Without much thought, Bai Yu threw out the Paradoxical Pokémon he was carrying.

Suddenly, six white lights flashed in the backyard of the research institute.

A Pokémon that looks very much like Gardevoir and is holding a long spear appeared first in front of Professor Oak. Then, a Pokémon that looks very much like Volcarona, a Pokémon that looks very much like Hydreigon, a Pokémon that looks very much like Misdreavus, a Pokémon that looks very much like Salamence, and a Pokémon that looks very much like Delibird.

Six Pokémon, imprinted in Professor Oak's mind, appeared in different forms. Apart from Winged and Roaring Moon, the remaining four all carried elements of futuristic technology and were covered in metal.

However, Zhenyifa and Hongmingyue exuded a strong ancient aura, as if they had existed in this world long ago.

"These...are these all Paradox Pokémon?! The metallic sheen on them, the ancient aura...come to think of it, Paradox Pokémon are Pokémon that appeared in ancient times and the future."

"It's amazing that someone can actually capture Pokémon from the future. It's said that these Pokémon only appear in the Book of Zhu, but I never thought they could actually appear in this era."

Professor Oak looked at the six Pokémon in front of him with great excitement.

According to his understanding, there are quite a few Paradox Pokémon. Besides the six in front of him, there are a total of fourteen, including the three ancient legendary beasts and the three future legendary swords.

Although it was a bit of a shame that we didn't get to see the three ancient legendary beasts and the three future legendary swords, Professor Oak was already very excited to see these paradoxical Pokémon.

"Grandpa, the aura these Pokémon are emitting is different from the Pokémon I researched before." Shigeru joined in, constantly observing and analyzing.

"Of course, these are Pokémon that rarely appear in modern times. I only had a brief chat with Professor Fortu from the Padilla region via video link."

"The only mention of Paradox Pokémon is in Zhu Zhishu. The other party has been trying to find traces of Paradox Pokémon and conduct related research."

After announcing the information about the Padia region, Professor Oak contacted Professor Faldo early on, since improving the National Pokédex is part of Professor Oak's daily work.

"Professor Oak, you should still be careful while you're doing your research," Bai Yu said, unable to resist reminding Professor Oak.

After all, Paradox Pokémon don't have very good tempers.

Bai Yu was there to keep an eye on things. If Bai Yu weren't there, who knows what outrageous things these Pokémon might do, they wouldn't care about whether it was reasonable or not.

"Yes. I'll do some research carefully." Professor Oak nodded, resting his chin on his hand.

“Professor Oak, I still have some Paradox Pokémon. I came in a hurry this time, so I came alone. If Sabrina had come with me, I should have been able to bring six more.” Bai Yu had almost caught all the Paradox Pokémon from the Paradox region.

This includes the three ancient beasts and the three future swords.

Speaking of the three holy swords, since Bai Yu captured them, they have been left in the backyard. Even Keldeo is rarely taken care of by Bai Yu. Occasionally, these four will team up to challenge Kyurem.

However, every time he challenged them, he was blasted away by Kyurem with a single slap. Kyurem, which had already recovered half of its power, didn't care about those four Pokémon. As long as they weren't killed, he would keep swatting them away.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Professor Oak nodded quickly. Actually, it didn't need to be that complicated. Bai Yu just needed to ask Professor Akihabara to leave the Paradox Pokémon with him, and then he could just teleport it directly to Professor Oak's lab.

This is indeed a convenient method, but Bai Yu is worried that once those paradoxical Pokémon are released from their Poké Balls, they will run wild.

If Bai Yu isn't around, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause? If Team Rocket catches him, I'll have to go to Viridian City to find Giovanni myself.

This is actually a case of losing more than you gain.

Professor Oak visually inspected the Pokémon and then used a ruler and other tools to refine the information about Paradox Pokémon. Currently, only the general data about Paradox Pokémon appears in the Pokédex.

The information is mostly from Zhu Zhishu, and since so many years have passed, it's inevitable that there will be some discrepancies in the information recorded in books.

With clear reference points, the paradoxical Pokémon data provided by Bai Yu can be directly updated. For example, the Iron Warrior in front of us is 1.6m tall, which is significantly different from Zhu Zhishu's.

Regarding related attributes, Zhu Zhishu only briefly mentioned some information about Pokémon.

For example, Paradox Pokémon that closely resembles Donphan has very little information available about it; the information is basically filled in based on the Pokémon's existing attributes.

Ironclad's original Pokédex entry listed it as a single Fighting type, but it has now been changed to Fairy + Fighting. Other Pokémon like Ironneck and Ironbey have also undergone some degree of modification.

Shigeru stood by, providing support, while Professor Oak was engrossed in his research. With nothing else to do, Shiraha wandered around the backyard of Professor Oak's lab.

Looking at the Pokémon running around in the backyard, Bai Yu recognized most of them; they were all among the 151 Pokémon in Kanto. A very small number of them were also Pokémon from the Galar and Kalos regions.

"Pika pika~"

Suddenly, a Pikachu trotted up and stared blankly at the stranger in front of it.

"There's also a Pikachu in Professor Oak's backyard."

Taking advantage of Professor Oak and the others' inattention, Bai Yu took out a bag of cookies that Electric-type Pokémon like from his system space, grabbed a small piece, and handed it to the Pikachu in front of him.

"Pikapi?"

Pikachu blinked, staring at the little cookie in front of it.

Without sensing any hostility from Shiraha, she boldly reached out and took the biscuit from Shiraha's hand.

In the Pokémon world, the most popular character is Pikachu. Even after accompanying Ash to the end of his journey, Pikachu and Charizard still appear in subsequent storylines.

Even if there is no Charizard in other regions, Charizard and Pikachu will come to the rescue.

However, Bai Yu didn't specifically train Pikachu just because he liked it. He could easily knock several cute Pokémon away with one punch.

cough cough...

Of course, not all Pikachu are Pikachu God.

The Pikachu in Ash and Red's hands could not have been trained to that level by anyone else; only the two of them could have done it.

There are many trainers in the Kanto region who train Pikachu, but very few can train Pikachu to the Gym Leader level, let alone above.

After spending half a day at Professor Oak's lab, Bai Yu recalled Paradox Pokémon. With Professor Oak's reluctant expression, he left Pallet Town and headed towards Martha City.

I can say I left without saying goodbye today, and I don't know if I'll be scolded by Naz when I get back.

But I already told the receptionist beforehand, so she shouldn't forget, right? If she really does forget, then I'm doomed. At the very least, I'll be scolded by Sabrina with her superpowers all night.

"Phew..." Bai Yu quickly returned to Macha City. By the time he got back, the sky had already darkened, the sun was setting, leaving a touch of crimson. Bai Yu parked the car and returned to the Macha Dojo with trepidation.

"Gym Leader, you're finally back."

The receptionist, who was lying on the table, bored and fiddling with the encyclopedia, heard the roar of a car outside the door. As soon as she stood up, she noticed Bai Yu pushing open the door and walking in.

"What's wrong? You didn't tell Naz that I went out, did you? This is terrible, I'm afraid I won't even be able to have a decent dinner tonight. Before I left, I said..."

Before the receptionist could explain, Bai Yu started rambling on and on, leaving the receptionist no chance to get a word in edgewise. Finally, when Bai Yu stopped talking because his throat was dry, the receptionist looked at him with a resentful expression and explained, "I already told Sister Nazi beforehand, so please don't wrong me."

"You already said that?"

Bai Yu was taken aback, then patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good."

"That's not what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about that trainer named Arkin."

The receptionist rolled her eyes at Bai Yu and explained again, "Not long after you left today, the dojo master, he came back to challenge us again, and he's come back several times in a row."

"Other trainers came to challenge him along the way, but they were all invited to the Pokémon Center to battle by that trainer named Gold. I heard that trainer named Gold is very strong."

"They're still using the starter Pokémon from the Johto region. After each challenge, the gym asks the gym leader about you, and it seems he already knows that you were the one who greeted him this morning."

No matter what, Ajin is a top-tier trainer, not a fool. He can easily find out about Bai Yu's information by using the Pokédex and talking to other people.

Bai Yu waved his hand at this, not taking it to heart.

His biggest worry right now is Nazi. She says she's fine, but who knows what she's really thinking? If something unforeseen happens, he'll be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu quickly headed towards the backyard.

I got back early, and as soon as I entered the backyard, I heard the clattering sounds coming from the kitchen. It was clear that Naz was already in the kitchen making dinner.

Seemingly hearing footsteps in the backyard, Naz came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, holding a pot in one hand and a spatula in the other, her face still smudged with dirt. "You're back? Dinner will be ready soon."

"Hmm~ How about I do it?" Bai Yu asked tentatively.

"It's alright, I'll have it ready soon. Just wait outside and enjoy my delicious food." Sabrina seemed very confident. The Ice Vulpix, who had been following Sabrina, had also appeared in the backyard at some point, hiding in a corner, as if it had seen something terrifying.

Bai Yu swallowed hard and said, "Um... it's been a while since I ate out. How about we go out for a meal? We won't have to bother cooking at home."

"I finally cook a meal, and you want to eat out?!" Nazi frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of hostility. This time, she cooked herself, and Bai Yu didn't want to eat?
"No...no! I just thought you were working too hard, and it's been a long time since I've had any of the delicious food from Macha Street, so I just mentioned it." Bai Yu quickly denied it, feeling a sense of unease.

Natsume has never cooked before. If Shiraha cooks in the wild, they will either go hungry or eat in the next city. Basically, they spend their travels in restaurants in towns.

Generally speaking, the prettier the girl, the worse her cooking skills. In addition, with Ice Six Tail being so far away, Bai Yu had a feeling that this meal would cause problems.

"It's no trouble at all, I'll be done in a minute. I just need to make a fish dish." Nazi smiled sweetly and walked towards the kitchen.

"Gulu~"

Bai Yu swallowed a mouthful of water, glanced at the Ice Vulpix beside him, and slowly moved closer. Looking around to make sure that Sabrina was engrossed in cooking, he whispered to the Ice Vulpix, "How's her cooking? If it's good, nod; if it's bad, shake your head."

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Vulpix shook its head like a rattle drum, and the other Pokémon next to it also shook their heads. Judging from their expressions, they must have seen something terrifying.

The thought filled Bai Yu with even greater fear.

Sitting in the chair, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he looked very restless.

What's more terrifying than death itself is knowing you're going to die and waiting for it to happen.

This is the most terrifying thing.

Not long after, Sabrina used her psychic powers to drag some food over. A peculiar smell filled the air, and Pokémon like Vulpix immediately kept their distance, afraid that the smell would affect them.

"Bai Yu, try my cooking and see how it is?" After placing the food on the table, Na Zi, still wearing her apron, looked at Bai Yu expectantly, wanting to hear his advice.

Bai Yu had mentally prepared himself, picked up his chopsticks, and with a trembling motion, picked up a dark, unremarkable lump of something that, from its outline, could still be identified as a fish.

He picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth. Instantly, a strong smell rushed to the top of his head. Bai Yu seemed to lose consciousness in an instant and stood there in a daze. It took him a long time to recover.

"Is it good?" Naza leaned closer and asked again.

"It's...delicious." Bai Yu forced a smile and said this through gritted teeth.

"Yes!" Upon receiving Bai Yu's reply, Nazi raised her hand excitedly. She knew she had a talent for cooking. After speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of fish.

The moment she put it in her mouth, Naz sat down in her chair and fell into deep thought. The indescribable taste exploded on her taste buds almost instantly.

I don’t know how long it took.

A sound came from the backyard.

"Hmm... let's go out to eat."

"Okay, I remember there's a pretty good restaurant on Macha Street that has your favorite desserts."

"Next time... next time, you can cook."

"Yes, I'll take you with me next time I go out."

As if they had agreed beforehand, Naz took off her apron, took Bai Yu's arm, and left the backyard, leaving only that terrifying meal on the table.

The food on the table piqued Gengar's curiosity.

"...Ku-jie!"

Gengar curiously reached out and licked the fish meat a little.

Almost instantly, a deep purple light emanated from Gengar's body. After a long while, Gengar began to eat with great excitement, as if it had tasted the most delicious food in the world.

Let the other Pokémon in the backyard see it!
A true warrior! Gengar! (End of Chapter)
