Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 333 To the Distant Past - Millerton

The leader of the Future Species, Milton, is also called the God of the Future, but his behavior in the story is more like that of a cowardly lizard, although the second Milton is indeed very "fierce".

Although there are legends that Milton once turned the earth to ashes with lightning, that was clearly not in this era.

"It's so easy for it to turn the earth to ashes, so Leighton's description also involves cracking the earth with his fists. The earth is truly full of disasters."

Thinking this to myself, although I felt a little regretful, I thought that I might have another chance to see this guy in Padiya in the future.

After all, it's a legendary Pokémon. Besides, we've seen far too many legendary Pokémon lately.

"Although I don't understand what just happened, these robots seem to have suddenly come to life. This is just my feeling."

Dr. Gongping, who shared the same face as Gongping, pushed up his glasses. Whether it was Palukia's appearance as a god or the changes that occurred in the other Paradoxical creatures afterward, he felt intense curiosity and doubt, but now was not the time to delve into it.

We need to restart the time machine immediately and return to our own era!
"Haha, human, you should be grateful! If it weren't for my great mercy in saving another visitor from the past, you would have been turned into a robot by now!"

Overjoyed, Ladybug swaggered around Dr. Gongping, while a burning thought stirred within it as it looked at the massive army of paradoxes present.

If Bug Pokémon also focused on technological development, they might be able to create "weapons" as powerful as these mechanical creations. They would then become heroes among Bug Pokémon, and humanity would be unable to resist them.
"Hello. I heard you."

"Oh no!" Ladybug exclaimed in surprise!
It then remembered that the human beside it had the power to read the minds of Pokémon!
Damn it, how can such a superhuman exist? This is completely denying us with dark thoughts any chance of survival! If we could beat him, that would be fine, but the problem is we can't even beat this guy!

"I'm sorry, what I just said was just wishful thinking. I never even considered analyzing a time machine or creating Zerg weapons!"

Ladybug instantly slid to its knees, much to Dr. Gongping's surprise.

How did this nonsensical character who boasted about ruling humanity become so cowardly?

“It’s alright.” Light Moss reached out and pointed at Ladybug: “I can’t just ignore you.”

Mindbreaker, activate!
With a bang, all the dark sides of the ladybug's heart exploded. Its mind was hit hard, its body stiffened, and it fell backward with a thud.

"Whoa! You killed it?" Dr. Gongping was quite nervous.

Lightmoss shrugged: "How could that be? I just helped it with some insect-level correction."

"After all, these bug Pokémon are dangerous to your world, right? They enslave humans, created things like 'Human Balls,' and even brainwashed you into slavery, you've seen it all."

"How do you know so much about this?" Dr. Gongping asked in surprise, pushing up his glasses.

Guangtai chuckled: "Because in my world, you are all just movie characters."

Dr. Gongping: "A movie character? You mean I'm a fictional character?"

Guangtai: "That's how it is in our world, so if you've seen the movie, you'll know the plot quite well. The movie is called 'The Travelers of Time'."

"The ending of 'Arriving in the Future' is the bad ending of the original movie."

"So this is a terrible future?" Dr. Gongping seemed to immediately accept the fact that he was a virtual character: "No wonder I get excited when I talk about science and technology, my voice gets louder, and my behavior becomes exaggerated. It's because I'm a movie character."

"But in my own world, I truly exist. Ah, let's not make a sequel to this movie! I don't want to be watched from behind."

"So, will the ladybugs no longer have any impact on our world? Has history been altered?"

Guangtai shook her head: "That's impossible to know, but at least one thing is certain: it should become a more compatible insect."

"Perhaps they might even lead the human liberation movement or something, but in any case, it won't affect the history of your era, right? Bug Pokémon can't develop a time machine."

"Take out your time machine. That capsule in your hand is your time machine, right?"

Dr. Gongping was embarrassed: "You really do know everything. That's right, this is a capsule to store the time machine. Capsulating and miniaturizing the time machine was originally thought to be impossible, but my assistant and I accomplished it."

"Now all we need to do is collect energy." Before he could finish speaking, the Paradox Pokémon around him suddenly became restless. Under the watchful eyes of the two, Ironleaf led the other Paradox Pokémon into the laboratory, and soon they took out a large amount of Driving Energy!

[Item: Driven Energy (Future)!]

[Description: An energy-filled capsule. When held by a Pokémon with a certain ability, its stats will be enhanced!]

[Effect: When a Pokémon with the Ancient Activity or Quark Charge ability is held, its highest stat (excluding HP) will increase by 30% when it enters the battle; if that stat is Speed, it will increase by 50%.]

[Additional (Future Effect): The damage dealt by that Pokémon's move to the opponent's battling Pokémon is increased by 20%.]

[Thank u.]
Iron-spotted Leaf thanked the Light Moss: [The genes of the legendary Holy Swordsmen have been extracted by humans and even modified into some kind of weapon; this is a disgrace to the Holy Swordsmen.]
[Although I am not the true Virizion, as a continuation of its genes, I have an obligation to continue the activities of the Holy Swordsman.]
[The gods of our hearts have bestowed upon us new identities. We now exist in the world as entirely new Pokémon. As the mechanical city develops, even more mechanical Pokémon will naturally emerge in the future.]
[And the legend of the Holy Swordsman will be reborn in this era.]
Iron Leaf looked at the other Holy Swordsman behind him. That Holy Swordsman was entirely blue, like a steel antelope!

It is the future species of Gopaleon, "Ironhead Shell"!
[We have gained a mind, we know what is right, and no system can control us anymore.]
Ironhead also thanked the Lightmoss: [Humans from the past, you have liberated us from our identity as weapons, and we will reclaim our ancient ideals and forge the reality of the future.]
[But before that, we need to reunite the Holy Swordsmen. The modified beings with the Terakion genes haven't appeared, but the power of the Holy Swordsmen is calling forth; it must exist somewhere in this world.]
[However, we didn't sense Keldeo's call. Perhaps its genes weren't acquired or transformed into weapons, which is a good thing.]
[Perhaps we'll meet again someday, I hope so!]
The mouths of both the Ironhead Shell and the Iron-spotted Leaf point downwards, so they cannot make a smiling face. Therefore, they can only make their pixelated eyes into two curved inverted U-shapes.

What is presented is (^︵^).

This mixture of happiness and unhappiness looks rather comical.

[Ahem, it seems the developers really didn't intend for us to have emotions in the first place; this mouth design is just awful.]
Ironhead remarked: "[Anyway, I hope you can successfully return to your own era.]"
"Full energy, time machine ready to start!"

Dr. Kōhei repaired the time machine and injected driving energy into it! Similarly, Kōtei connected Device C to the time machine.

The button for connecting time has lit up!
Power correct, power sufficient, initiating reconnection!
hum-

A powerful time vortex, like a black hole, appeared!
"We can set off now!" Dr. Gongping breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the unconscious Ladybug, remained silent for a moment, and then put Ladybug into the time machine.

Hopefully, this guy can really turn into a better bug.

"In the perfect ending, what would be the fate of me and this ladybug?"

Dr. Gongping still asked the question, and Guangtai recalled for a moment: "It seems that he let you off the hook, and then you returned to your own time, but I don't remember the specifics very clearly."

"This...this is a rushed ending." The young professor was speechless for a moment, but then laughed again: "Maybe this is the real ending!"

"Thank you, my ally of justice from another world! Oh, by the way, here, this is for you. It's not anything valuable, but it's research material from our time. Really, thank you so much."

[Item: The Secret Mega Evolution Stone!]

[Description: This is not a Mega Stone used for Mega Evolution, but a special stone from a parallel world related to the movie. Activated through a special device, it grants the Bug Pokémon high intelligence, resulting in a "species evolution." Its effect ceases after leaving the movie world.]

[If we take it away, the future of the movie world will change. Bug Pokémon will no longer enslave humans or attack other Pokémon, and that timeline will be "overwritten" by the correct history.]

[Effect (New): When your Bug Pokémon holds this Pokémon, it will receive different power boosts after defeating wild or other Bug Pokémon. The boosts will vary depending on each Bug Pokémon's specialization—for example, Scyther excels at slashing, Krillin excels at playing melodies, and Forretress has faster reflexes.]

[Unlocked Profession: Bug Pokémon Scholar.]

[Your understanding of Bug Pokémon increases by 180%, your appeal to Bug Pokémon increases by 20%, move power increases by 20%, the effect of learning Otherworldly Voices is increased by 10%, and the suppression effect of Psychic powers on you decreases by 30%.]

A wealth of knowledge flooded into his mind along with this magical stone. Lightmoss thanked the professor and told him, "This stone is the Mega Stone that allows Bug Pokémon to evolve."

"Huh?!" Dr. Gongping's reaction was just like in the movie; he had no idea that this research stone was actually the culprit behind the future turmoil. However, Guangtai reassured him:
"If this stone is lost, the future will change, but the paradoxical future here will not be affected. I think the future here is just a distant parallel world, just like my world and your world, which do not interfere with each other."

"Hmph, you should take this stone with you." Dr. Gongping pushed up his glasses: "I never thought I would unintentionally save the future. Is this stone a result of the 'plot' becoming a happy ending, thus correcting the timeline?"

"By the way, those two Pokémon seem to want to leave with you?"

Following the direction the young doctor pointed, Lightmoy turned around and saw Iron Warrior and Aluminum Steel Dragon.

The Iron Warrior's pixelated eyes blinked, and he walked over:

[According to the final agreement, you should take me with you and return to your time together.]
"The final agreement? Are you referring to the agreement between you and me, or the scientist's final words of advice?"

Iron Warrior thought about this question seriously.

[In the emotion module, the agreement takes precedence over the instruction protocol; I "expect" you to follow it.]
"Wow, you've learned to 'demand.' That's right, only in this way does life feel real. You have things you want to obtain. So, I still have to ask you one question: Would you be willing to leave the era in which you were born and travel with me to the unknown past?"

The Iron Warrior blinked and gave a formal knightly salute:
I do.
The human and the machine stared at each other, and then Lightmoy took out a special Poké Ball.

"In the electromagnetic field of the future world, all Poké Balls will be unusable. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I made this in my spare time. If you'd like, just press its switch."

[Item: Blue Poké Ball.]

[Description: This is a special Poké Ball that is not used by trainers and is not provided to any league. Its original creator was Dr. Andrew Parker. This Poké Ball can be used without hindrance in environments with spatial-temporal fluctuations and abnormal magnetic fields; it is a special Poké Ball used for ultra-long-range spatial-temporal teleportation.]

Generally speaking, ordinary spacetime distortions and radio wave blocking cannot control blue Poké Balls. Apart from the color, their appearance is exactly the same as the common red Poké Balls.

[Effect: Captures Pokémon in abnormal space-time and magnetic field environments, protects Pokémon's safety, and has special effects when thrown at special entities.]

[Additional: After mastering the Aura of Time, this Poké Ball will be regarded as a "Time Treasure"—but using this as a Time Treasure is still too extravagant.] Iron Warrior stared at the blue Poké Ball in front of her; of course, she had seen this before.

However, all the other Poké Balls are red. Oh, there's one blue one too, but it's different from this one.

"This one? This is a Great Ball, it's different from the blue Poké Ball." Lightmoss waved Riolu's Great Ball: "Hmm, if you like, I'll get you this ball when we go back in time."

I think green and white look great.
"How about a Yo-Yo Ball, a Wonder Ball, or a Commemorative Ball?"

Iron Warrior didn't know what those Poké Balls looked like.

But a small sense of anticipation welled up in her heart.

Although they are just ordinary props from the past, they contain a different kind of meaning.

So she pressed the button on the blue Poké Ball, and a powerful force pulled her into it. The Poké Ball flashed, and then the Pokémon was captured.

They won them over with a knowing smile.

"I have subdued the Iron Warrior."

Lightmoss's emotions were a bit strange at this moment. This futuristic robot was the first Pokémon that she had given a mind to. She was indeed special. The AI ​​scientist said that she had completed some kind of special evolution.

However you look at it, the Iron Warrior seems like the scientist's daughter.
"Teaching you what love is is a huge topic."

"Hmm, and what about you?"

Guangmo looked at the aluminum steel dragon, the junk collector waving his alloy claws and glancing at the paradoxical species around him.

I feel like if I stay here any longer, I won't even be able to pick up any trash.

Moreover, Duraludon quite likes Lightmoss. Compared to Ironhide, which is trying to understand strange emotions, Duraludon, as a normal Pokémon, has a very straightforward understanding of emotions.

If you like something, you like it; if you approve of something, you approve of it. Isn't that how life is?
Hmm. And your Steel Jewel, it tastes really good! With you around, there are so many more things to eat! That's all I care about in my life!

"Don't you like the salty, old-fashioned taste of steel bars?"

"Gurgle! (You have to eat both to be considered healthy!)"

Guangtai laughed.

This aluminum-steel dragon is very simple-minded and easy to get along with.

"Then, please take care of me from now on."

Under the light of the second blue Poké Ball, Duraludon was also captured.

"Congratulations on catching a new Pokémon, but I've never seen a Poké Ball like that before," Professor Kōhei muttered under his breath, but didn't delve into it further.

After all, we are from parallel worlds, so perhaps the other side has special technological features!

Ironhead: [Goodbye, have a safe journey.]
Iron-spotted Leaf: [Goodbye, friend of humankind.]
Iron Neck: [Gulala—]
Iron Arms: [Thank you]
A passing iron tussock moth: [Observe, record. Goodbye?]
The paradoxical beings offered their blessings, and amidst the surrounding army of paradoxes, the Shining Iron Warrior walked forward step by step.

When Unit 2 gained a mind, it recalled the words it had said to Unit 1.

Although it doesn't quite understand the relationships between its own kind, after gaining a mind, Unit-2 suddenly realized that the other "Iron Warriors" around it with the same faces as itself were not simply robots.

After acquiring a "heart," they become truly existing life forms, new life forms forged from steel.

[Goodbye, kindred spirits.]
[Same here, thank you!]
Unit 2 looked around, found a steel bar, and then lifted it up.

Just like what Unit 1 did to her before.

Meanwhile, Unit 1 inside the blue Poké Ball witnessed this scene. The Poké Ball swayed gently, and the pain in its heart transformed into a strange emotion.

Perhaps we will never meet again.

But no matter how far apart we are in time and space, we share similar souls.

Time flashed by, and the distant future world seemed to have transformed into a four-dimensional space and drifted away. The fluctuations of parallel time and space were accompanied by the swirling of darkness, and the Miracle Diamond shone brightly once again!

Something is responding to it, and it's getting closer and closer!
The world before Guangtai's eyes rapidly reassembled: an unfamiliar room, scattered instruments and two huge monitors, and Dr. Tim frozen in place, as if undergoing molecular reconstruction.

When the light of the Miracle Diamond fades, time in the mortal world begins to turn again, like the currents of the ocean!
"The Miracle Diamond possesses the power of Dialga. When Dialga was born, time in the present world began to flow like a mighty river."

"Hey! I've gone back in time, and I saw my father!" Dr. Tim's excited voice snapped Lightmoth out of his thoughts, and he began to ramble on about what he had seen after returning to the past!
"Thank you. Because of you, I was able to complete the time machine and fulfill my dream! Although it may never be able to start again, since I can't find a Pokémon from another world to power it, I am already satisfied!"

"Instead of regretting the past, it's most important to live life to the fullest in the present, which is connected to the future!"

"Oh, why do you have such a strange expression?"

Dr. Tim then noticed that the moss had become very dirty, completely different from "just now".

Guangtai chuckled: "Well, when you went back to the past, I briefly went to the future, and before I knew it, this is how it turned out."

"Yes, it was a very interesting trip. Thank you, Tim."

Lightmoss bid farewell to Professor Tim, who hoped that Lightmoss would continue to explore more knowledge, but when he learned that Lightmoss was going to challenge the gym, he could only smile helplessly.

"You possess immense knowledge, yet you don't want to form a research lab with me? You idiot! You absolutely must defeat Mr. Shaka!"

"Now that we're in Odd Dragon City, this must be the eighth gym! Are you aiming for the top of Unova? I can't let you get me! Keep it up!"

Lightmoss said goodbye to Mr. Tim and then wrote down the details of her new companion in her notebook.

"Dracovish, a Pokémon from a futuristic city."

"He has a somewhat optimistic personality."

Although I theoretically dislike bitterness, I can actually tolerate all flavors.

"He loves to eat and is very resilient."

In terms of their shared love of food, aluminum steel dragon and rippled water should get along very well.

"Iron Warrior, a Pokémon from a futuristic city."

"A somewhat introverted personality."

I like the astringent taste.

"A little bit stubborn."

Guangtai thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

"It's a Pokémon searching for the meaning of love."

------

After the time machine is activated.

Near the laboratory, a roaming, berserk lizard also gained a mind. It hid in the cracks of the mechanical city and witnessed the entire Paradoxical Rebellion from its levitating position.

Prior to this, it was created in the laboratory as a "special work," but due to its uncontrollable nature, it was exiled outside the city to fend for itself.

But the large-scale activities of the Paradoxical Species in the city and the intense clash of abilities attracted it. Its violent and warlike nature urged it to join the melee, and it flew through the sky of the mechanical city, accompanied by lightning.

However, it arrived a little late.

It curiously touched its chest. After sensing the changes within its body, the berserk lizard transformed into a rational lizard. The insane and uncontrollable system became a hidden mode, while calmness, composure, and powerful computing ability replaced the berserk former system.

The purple mechanical lizard watched the time machine depart with curious eyes.

"Aga hiss?"

It remembered the human who came here, and the giant centaur. Then, a strange spacetime force suddenly came and pulled the rational lizard into another spacetime vortex in its panic.

Eh?
Time travel? Me?!

I'm not ready yet!
