Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 506 The Real Kidnapper

Guangtai was somewhat surprised, but Milton was too cowardly, and given that the time he traveled to was wrong and the model was too old, it was normal for him to be managed by Ironhead Shell, the "latest weapon".

"Big brother, what is this machine, this Future Pokémon, buzzing around and saying?" Pipa had recovered by now, but he couldn't understand the electronic voice of the Future Pokémon.

Lightmoy explained simply: "This is Ironhead, a future variant of the legendary swordsman Cobalion, or rather, a Pokémon created based on that legendary Pokémon."

"I recognize it, uh, what on earth happened here? Is the iron-spotted leaf still there?"

[Human! You've come at the perfect time!]
Ironhead nodded:
[Leafie was severely injured in the previous battle, and there are no Pokémon at the Fourth Observatory to repair her. Additionally, our maintenance has encountered problems.]
[Now that we have a chance to catch our breath, I'd like you to perform some repairs on her. You must have some plans or work to do in District Zero. Anyway, you've saved us once again, thank you so much!]
[We lack the necessary repair materials, so we have to temporarily replace them with instruments from the observation station. More and more of our comrades are losing their equipment during the battle. Because of my poor decision-making, my comrades are in this dangerous situation, and I bear the responsibility.]
[Long-term maintenance is necessary. The doctor who originally signed a maintenance agreement with us and promised to send us back to the future suddenly changed her personality, regarding the Paradise Project and the amusement park she mentioned.]
[She wants to transform this place into a paradise where ancient Pokémon existed. According to the professor's clone, this was the world the original professor dreamed of.]
[However, the appearance of future Pokémon was an accident. It's said to be the dream of another professor, a couple who planned to let the ancient and future coexist. However, it now seems that the primal and fundamental power from the distant past is far too ferocious.]
[According to the doctor's assessment of the clones, their vitality would destroy modern ecosystems. However, the doctor himself stated that this was also a natural consequence.]
[Our calculations are incomprehensible.]
[These are Pokémon that live in different worlds; isn't it strange to force them together? What kind of natural outcome is this?]
[We tried to persuade her, and the doctor's clone agreed to our request; she also thought it was wrong. But now everything has changed.]
[Currently, we have no idea how far the Tai Le Project has progressed. We only know that the time machine continues to summon ancient Pokémon. Of course, among them are strange mechanical Pokémon like Ironclad, which is from a different faction than us. It seems to be acting on someone's orders, occasionally appearing near the observation station and even launching attacks.]
[We adhered to the previous agreement, Agreement 3, which protected Area Zero and prohibited Ancient Pokémon from escaping the crater and causing damage. However, we were unable to fully comply with this agreement.]
Containment has breached.
The iron-headed shell was explained in detail.

The appearance of future Pokémon began with a time machine transfer, which happened many years ago, when another professor was still alive.

This also aligns with the notes found at the third observatory, which refer to themselves as "we" rather than "I".

So, either Milton or Solaton was transferred first, and then Professor Orin obtained a new treasure, which was that she became pregnant with Piper. At the same time, the ancient and future Pokémon were also gradually transferred successfully.

When they arrived at the Fourth Observatory, Dr. Futu passed away and Piper was born. Due to a shortage of manpower, and for reasons that were unusual and unknown, a clone of Dr. Orin, namely Dr. AI, was created.

This is the time to truly begin perfecting the time machine.

The time machine before that was an unfinished "half-finished product".

In other words, it's the same kind of time machine developed by Professor Tim and Professor Buck. However, it's much more powerful than that, since it can actually continuously transfer Pokémon over.

Lightmoss led Piper into the observation station, while Waterpoke, Aluminosi, and Aerodactyl squatted outside to watch over the defeated Paradox Pokémon.

Meanwhile, among the futuristic species around it, the light moss also discovered a familiar one!
"Mechanical Bangilas?!"

[Hello, Creator, I am Iron Thorn!]
The guy who looked just like the mechanical Bangiras spoke.

"No, I know your name. You call me the Creator?"

[This guy seems to be a descendant of the mechanical Bangiras, or rather, a later modified version,] Ironhead explained: [Although he comes from a different era than us, he's from the very distant future, supposedly a billion years in the future.]
"But its attributes are still Rock and Electric."

Ironthorn, a future Tyranitar, is considered to be part of the Unova movie tokusatsu series, "Super Tyranitar," a Pokémon inspired by the mechanical Tyranitar.

Actually, there is another Pokémon of this type, namely Duraludon.

However, after Duraludon evolved into Duraludon, it completely shed the stereotype of "Mechanical Tyranitar" and became Sky Arrow Bridge.

Ironthorn resembles Tyranitar, but in the lore, it is extremely calm and dislikes pointless fighting.

Due to its metallic armor and high intelligence, Ironthorn is rumored to be a billion-year-old version of Bangiras.

However, due to its poor racial distribution, despite its cool appearance, it has no easy moves in battle. Its most powerful attack is actually the Crystal Insect Missile Needle.

At the same time, quark charging is undoubtedly a huge weakening compared to the original species' "dust storm".

Therefore, Iron Thorn was once a frequent visitor to the bench in battles, and even gave rise to the famous meme that "future evolution may not be a buff, but a nerf".

And the more infamous "iron waste".

Why is iron called waste without any reason?
Although it has been said that a four-fold weakness is a symbol of strength, the Iron Thorn, which has a four-fold weakness, does not seem to be among the strong.
Please name the Pokémon you think is the weakest paradoxical Pokémon, and give an example explaining why.
[objection!]
At this moment, Ironthorn spoke, its eyes gleaming, and explained to Lightmoss:
[I inherited Tyranitar's genes, but I also have the Super Tyranitar program, therefore, my attributes can be switched.]
[Creator, it is you who granted us this transformation; it is because you modified the mechanical Bangiras that we gained these additional attributes.]
"You mean additional attributes?" Lightmoy suddenly asked, somewhat surprised. "Could it be..."

Ironthorn: [Depending on the program and the battle situation, I can switch between [Rock + Electric] or [Steel] + [Electric].]
[According to ancient data, Super Tyranitar M.B.'s attribute is [Steel].]
Steel electrical properties!
Guangtai's expression changed quite a bit.

Although it's still four times weaker, the resistances have increased dramatically!

"Super Bengilas M.B. is portrayed as having pure steel attributes in the movie."

"Super Bangiras M·B2 type, on the other hand, has the steel-electric property."

"Uh, so because I controlled Super Tyranitar, Iron Thorns turned into Type 2 instead!"

Now, it's definitely not scrap metal anymore!
However, Ironthorn still has the problem of its ability and two STAB moves being not powerful enough. As for the speed issue, although it can use Dragon Dance in battle, it will still lose to Fatie and Chicken, but in actual battles, this is not a big problem.

The speed is a little weaker, but it's really only a "slight" weakness.

"If we could learn electromagnetic levitation, that would be amazing. We could even avoid four times the weakness."

Ironthorn's objection was just an interlude.

Inside the fourth observation station, just like in the game, there are fallen and destroyed instruments and containers everywhere, as if something had wreaked havoc here. Traces of an explosion remain on the walls, and some instruments have been dismantled for future Pokémon repairs.

At the same time, the terrestrial crystallization phenomenon began to erode everything here.

In one of the surrounding corners, several malfunctioning Future Species machines were placed, including Iron Leaf, which knelt in the corner, covered in wounds, as if it had been completely destroyed.

After all, this guy is four times weaker than insects. If he encounters a creeping winged creature by the roadside, he can easily be killed with a single punch. This is a weakness that the Iron-spotted Leaf cannot avoid.

"Notes from the Fourth Observatory"

[We're short-staffed and don't have enough time. That person left after the baby was born. Even if we bring in someone new, we can't build trust immediately, so they're practically useless. If only I could be there again.]

[We've added one researcher, doubling efficiency. This researcher has the same knowledge and skills as me, and although a bit too rigid, their work is impeccable. The other Guleton has also been successfully transferred; number 2 has a very volatile temperament.]

The original notes remain unchanged.

So, after the transfer, Individual 2 should have started causing destruction, how did it still have time to write notes?
Guangmo continued flipping through the pages, and then saw something different:

[When transferring ancient Pokémon, Pokémon from the future occasionally appear. This must be a backdoor left by that person.]

[The development of the time machine has reached this point, yet this problem remains unsolved. I've decided to fix this backdoor.]

[I had a bad feeling about that creature from the future, but it did offer suggestions on how to repair the time machine.]

[The Pokémon of the future possesses high intelligence and can even control certain machines. It says this is a fundamental ability of future species. I had a discussion with it about future species, and even it itself thought that future species were too cold-blooded.]

I agree with it on this point.

[Disabling one-way teleportation to the future and only retaining teleportation to the past is necessary. During our conversation, I discovered a high degree of similarity between this and that person's viewpoints and technology. Does this mean that future species can quickly learn certain technologies?]

That concludes the new notes.

However, Guangtai suddenly had a bad feeling.

The motives behind the heinous incidents in the Pokémon world are not hard to guess; many so-called dark aspects are merely superficial.

Aside from the self-absorbed schemer Quixote and the money-grubbing Giovanni, most of the other villains are either autistic, simple-minded, or insane.

Therefore, combining the notes from the third observation station
Lightmoss told Ironhead the contents of the new notes from the Third Observatory, which nearly caused the leader of the Holy Swordsmen to overload!
The buzzing electronic sound from the metal-headed casing was filled with disbelief, regret, and pain:

[Iron Rock, the successor of Terakion, the final piece of the puzzle for the future Three Sword Saints. Even though we, as the managers of the future city, search tirelessly, we cannot find Iron Rock, who has been modified by an evil organization. So, the answer is because...]
[By the time we were looking for, it had already been modified and teleported away.]
[Based on the timing of the Iron Serpent's teleportation and the information you provided, this is a highly probable event. Therefore, Iron Rock is the first future Pokémon to be teleported.]
[It's not on our side.]
[Things have become clear. The reason for the Doctor's clone's drastic personality change is now clear: possessing Dr. Futu's technology, it is indeed possible to hack into the time machine's program. It is a "hijacker"!]
[As for the reason for the hijacking, I can already guess. As a weapon modified by an evil organization, it has only one purpose.]
[Refuse to shut down the time machine, and refuse to send us back to the future]
[I never imagined that we, the future offspring of the Three Sword Saints, would stoop so low as to be used as weapons one after another. It's truly shameful.]
[Even more unexpectedly, the time machine actually had a combat program.]
[That's why the Zero Zone Research Laboratory was suddenly locked down and closed off, prohibiting Pokémon from entering or leaving. However, the Time Machine's range extends to the entire bottom of the Zero Zone pit, so ancient Pokémon are still being summoned continuously.]
"No, the closure of the Zero Zone Research Institute is probably unrelated to it. It might be locked up inside now."

"Moreover, while it may have activated the combat program, the more advanced Paradise Location program is probably something it cannot hijack. In fact, it may now be being used as a weapon."

"Moreover, sending people back to the future is not a simple matter. In fact, that machine is most likely a one-way teleporter." Lightmoss waved her hand.

The four locks in Zone Zero are something that has been locked for a long time and was present in the original storyline, but it is unknown who set these four locks.

Anyway, the AI ​​PhD can't leave Zone Zero, and the normal PhD dies so he doesn't need the lock.

Time travel is also a huge pitfall.

As the AI ​​PhD himself said, once the quality reaches a human level, there's no going back, whether you're brought here or traveled through time.

If the future Pokémon wants to go back, then the only way is to disassemble it into parts and send it there one by one.

Meanwhile, Ironhead was experiencing mental overload.

Why does a time machine need a combat program?
"Uh, to prevent others from shutting down the time machine, the original doctor set up more than one defense measure. The combat program is just the first line of defense. As I said, there is an even more powerful program behind it."

Ironhead: [I can't understand why they're so determined to create a fake paradise that can't coexist, even at the cost of protecting the time machine.]
Although Lightmoss was chatting with Ironhead, Piper, who couldn't understand, could only understand what Lightmoss was saying.

However, as the conversation progressed, Pipa had a bad feeling.

"Big brother."

Piper suddenly interrupted, looking at Guangtai: "What...what do you mean by 'AI Doctor' and 'the original Doctor'?"

"Is that really my mom in the research institute right now?"

“Of course it’s your mother.” Guangtai waved her hand: “Now that we’ve reached the fourth observation station, it’s about time to tell you the truth. You’ve been with me all this way. Not just anyone can come to the fourth observation station.”

"Of course, this is my first time here too."

"Your mother encountered a bottleneck in her research and has been unable to return home. In order to create the paradise she envisioned, where she could live happily with the ancient Pokémon, she stayed here, using a time machine to continuously transport Pokémon."

"Didn't you live with Guleton for a while?"

Piper nodded: "Yes, you mentioned this before, although I don't know how you knew. Guleton hurt the Pokémon around it, so my mom took it away."

“I’ve always felt that it took my mom away from me, so I don’t like it.”

"My mom said that it was the fighting spirit and wildness hidden deep in Guleton's heart that drove it to attack other Pokémon. Now that I've seen the Ancients in Sector Zero, I can understand that wildness."

"They are different from the Pokémon of the future; they seem to be angry all the time."

Light Moss: "The notes here record the situation."

"After you were born and lived with Guleton for a while, your mother brought Guleton back here, and it was in this fourth observatory."

"And in order to continue the research and development of the time machine, Dr. Orin used unknown technology and based on her own knowledge and memories to create an artificial intelligence, which is the AI ​​doctor we are discussing. She has the exact same technology and abilities as your mother, and at the same time, she has completely inherited your mother's personality and emotions."

"Then, your mother used the time machine to transfer again. This time, she transferred a second Gullardon. This individual was extremely ferocious and caused a huge explosion at the observation station."

"And so, Dr. Orin also perished in the explosion."

Lightmoy told Pipa the whole story. Although Pipa had been somewhat prepared, he was still stunned and his mind went blank.

The Mastiff Godfather seemed to understand the situation as well. He opened his mouth slightly, somewhat incredulous, and sniffed around, constantly trying to detect the scent left behind by Dr. Orin.

"My mom, she...she..."

Although he had little contact with Dr. Orin, Piper still loved his mother very much. Now that she was gone, his emotions began to surge uncontrollably, and tears and snot streamed down his face.

Ironhead: [Based on the information we have, Professor Orin misjudged the power of the Pokémon and stepped forward to save the first Gullarden, thus losing her life.]
Guangtai nodded: "That's true."

This is also what the original Orin AI said.

Although she stated that it wasn't the Pokémon's fault, but rather the professor's misjudgment.
In terms of attitude, Orin AI does not support Dr. Orin's Tai Le Project, and therefore may not understand her actions.

Of course, Orin AI also said that if the Doctor knew that Gu Leton, whom he stood up to protect, was still alive and well, he would be very gratified.
"The second Guleton is indeed very ferocious and of a very high level, but..."

The so-called Paradise Guardian Dragon is only level 72, while Ironhead is level 75.

Uh, that's under normal circumstances.

Currently, Ironhead Shell clearly doesn't possess power above level 70. But Ironrock might.

"I'll take care of the iron-spotted leaves; it won't take much time."

Lightmoss is preparing to repair these futuristic species. It has done this kind of work before, and with future technology, the lack of materials is not a problem.

Because there was a "Forging Knight" standing right next to him!

The Crimson Knight's superpowers combined with holy flames allow him to instantly conjure any parts he needs by hand, which is far more useful than his own strength!
And there's one more.
Hello! Long time no see!
Ironclad emerged from the Memorial Ball; it possessed some of the technology to repair these futuristic Pokémon. She greeted Ironhead, though they weren't actually very familiar with each other.

Ironhead: [Long time no see, Number 1. I'm delighted to see you in such good shape. Number 2 Iron Warrior will be happy too.]
At the fourth observation station, on one side are the future species awaiting repair, and on the other side is Pipa, a child who has fallen into autism.

Of course, without Guangtai having to explain, Pipa quickly realized the important issue after his period of depression.

The doctor created a replica of his mother using all his knowledge, personality, emotions, and memories, and he also has another mother!

If the first mother has already
Then at least a second mother should be allowed!

"Big brother, you're going to the research institute this time, right? You said you were entrusted by my mother, what exactly happened?"

"My, my second mother, what's wrong with her now?"

Pipa looked at the light moss.

Meanwhile, the moss, which was repairing the variegated leaves, thought for a moment:
"Since you understand time machines, there's something you should know."

“You have many mothers watching you from different worlds. She is so obsessed with ancient Pokémon that she ignores your existence. But for Dr. AI, I think what she inherited was not only Dr. Orin’s personality and memories, but also the part that the doctor could not express.”

"That is, the love between your family members."

"Therefore, regardless of the time and space."

"You can be sure that your mom loves you."

A light gradually appeared in Pipa's eyes.

Inside the backpack of the moss.

The Soul Heart gradually emitted faint light, seemingly resonating with some kind of emotion or energy.
