Chapter 182 Daigo's View on "Approaching the Paddy Cave"! (4k)

A show match with Qishu before the [Taijinghua and Paradoxical Species] press conference?

Ye Ci's suggestion surprised Xia Chi.

It doesn't seem to work?
In terms of fame, she is more famous worldwide than most of the top gym leaders, undoubtedly a top-tier gym owner.

In terms of strength, although he is not among the top gym leaders, even the top ones like Xia Chi cannot beat him!
However, even a non-top-tier gym leader is no match for Xia Chi right now.

After all, the difference in the level and training time of the Pokémon is significant.

But if it's an exhibition match, then there's a different story.

After receiving improvements in both numerical values ​​and mechanics, the strength of the Zhenyi machine has undergone a qualitative leap.

If you hold back a bit in the early stages of the fight against the Qishu tree, and combine it with skills like Taijinghua, you'll have a real chance to win if you drag it out to the later stages.

Based on this analysis, Qishu really is the most suitable opponent for the exhibition match.

Otherwise, we can't let Xia Chi fight champions like Ye Ci and Xin Li, can we?

In an exhibition match, one side can give way a little, but there's really no point in throwing a match.

With that in mind, Xia Chi nodded and said, "Alright, let's go with the rare tree!"

This popularity might be good enough for my apprentice to ride on.

After discussing some details about the upcoming exhibition match and press conference with Ye Ci, Xia Chi hung up the phone.

Because the press conference was scheduled for a week later, Xia Chi worked overtime that night to finish the video.

In this way, a week is enough time for the topic of "too crystallization" to brew and ferment.

That night.

At midnight in the Parthian region, after a two-month hiatus, [Mizuya] finally updated with a new video—

Exploring the Padia Crater: The Source of the Crystal, Talebagh, and the Paradoxical Pokémon

The simple and unadorned title stirred up a huge wave overnight!

------

April 11, Hoenn region, Kanaz City.

Inside a vast, luxurious estate.

Daigo Zvoich was extremely bored after finishing a mining operation.

To be precise, nothing has been able to arouse his interest for a long time, neither battles nor stones.

This expedition to Inoville City ended in failure once again; not a single decent stone was found.

Daigo sighed. If all else fails, he'll have to go mining in other areas.

Just as I was thinking this, my friend Mikkel suddenly forwarded me a video. The uploader's name sounded familiar: Shuiye.

Miklee added: "I think you'd be interested (Milotic flicking its tail.gif)"

Oh, is that the rookie trainer who caused such a stir in Kitakami Township not long ago?
Speaking of which, I was matched with Mikkel once last year when I played games with him, and I even watched a bit of his live stream.

But then he went off to mine cryptocurrency, and that guy stopped broadcasting for a long time, so I stopped paying attention.

This time, Mickel surprisingly shared a video of Water-type Pokémon instead of the usual Water-type Pokémon videos.
And he even said he might be interested?

Daigo clicked on the video page with some curiosity.

Just reading the title made him take his initial skepticism more seriously.

Approaching the Padia pits.
So this guy was busy making headlines during his disappearance?

Even on a global scale, the Padia crater is very well-known.

After all, this kind of terrain is so magnificent that its formation has always been the focus of research for geologists around the world.

The Zero Zone and the wildly popular "Book of Zhu Zi" further add a touch of mystery to this special entity.

The subtitles are even more enticing: "The Source of Crystals," "Talebagos," and "The Paradox of Pokémon."
The three unfamiliar keywords immediately piqued Daigo's desire to explore them.

If it weren't for the clickbait title, Daigo would be certain that this video would rival Natsumi's "masterpiece"—Arceus's Creation!

In fact, the video had only been released for ten hours, yet it already had tens of millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments, which already proved its quality.

Before watching a video, Daigo usually checks the comments section to see if the video is worth watching.

Sometimes, even being spoiled is better than being fed shit.

But Daigo didn't do that today. He didn't even glance at the comments section, but instead eagerly clicked on the video.

With the dense barrage of comments obstructing the viewing experience turned off, the video begins in the dark.

"About two million years ago, Regigigas, the Column King, under the command of some kind of will, began the work of plate tectonics."

In the scene, thunder tears through the sky, and a colossal Pokémon, towering and headless, awakens in the raging abyss.

Its colossal body, far taller than any mountain, was bound by chains, the other end of which was linked to the continent behind it.

The land, like a broken ice surface, drifted in the ocean currents, dragged along by the Regigigas.

The continental shelf crumbled, the mountains roared, and a new world was slowly being built by magnificent divine power.

Although it was clearly an AI video, this epic scene deeply impressed Daigo.

The myth of Regigigas dragging the continent—could this myth actually be true?
However, this is not the focus of Xia Chi's video.

------

The scene shifts to the depths of the Earth's core.

Countless turtle-shaped Pokémon with azure crystalline shells appeared.

"But the magnificent divine power also caused widespread devastation, and the fission of the earth brought annihilation to the homeland of the Talebaghs."

In the video, dramatic changes in the Earth's crust cause a torrent of lava from deep within the Earth's core to flood the habitat of the Talebaghs.

As the Earth's core collapsed, hordes of Taleborgs wailed across the land.

But when the gaze is focused on the most inconspicuous little turtle, a dazzling light suddenly bursts forth from its body.

It actually used energy to forge crystals that formed a shell, sealing itself off!
The surviving souls of its kin transformed into crystalline energy, imbued with blessings, making its crystallized body even more solid.

When the cataclysmic event ended, it miraculously survived under the protection of its kind, becoming the last Talebagh in the world!

The tragic mythological epic completely immersed Daigo in the video.

He couldn't help but ponder.

What connection could this Talebagoras have with the Padia Crater?

The answer was quickly revealed.

Millions of years later.

A vast, dreamlike, and dazzling void appeared on the screen.

Unlike previous AI-generated animations, this one was filmed on location.

Looking at the strange gems radiating brilliant light in the huge underground cave, Daigo's heart rate instantly increased to 180.

So beautiful! This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen!

For a fleeting moment, he wanted to ask Xia Chi, "What place is this? Where is it? How do I get there?"

However, they were troubled by not having the other party's contact information.

Moreover, that pigeon spirit hasn't been live for two months, and you can't find him in the live stream room.

Daigo had no choice but to give up.

He went back and set [Mizuya] as a special follower so he could see it the next time he went live. Then Daigo continued watching the videos.

"The Talebages that inherited all the blessings and hopes of its kind eventually transformed into the Source of the Crystal, becoming a legendary divine Pokémon deep within the Padia Crater."

"Although we did not find any trace of it during our exploration, the legacy it left behind is already moving enough."

"That is the Primal Crystal Stone, which can trigger the Primal Crystallization phenomenon!"

Wow, they actually went!

They went to dig for rocks but didn't include me!

Daigo was a little angry, but after thinking about it, he realized he had no reason to be angry.

He didn't even spend a single penny on Xia Chi's account.
Next time, I'll max out my card!

If only you could tell me where this place is!
Daigo at that moment was like a fisherman who had just watched a video of "fish boiling underwater".

Tell me this place quickly.jpg
------

Back to the video.

After this introduction, the real core content of the video begins.

The Taleborgs slumbered deep underground for millions of years, filling the depths of the Padia Crater with terrestrial energy.

Two hundred years ago, an explorer named Heizhe and his teammates came to the Padia pit to explore its mysteries.

He unexpectedly encountered the sleeping Talebages.

Then, I saw those strange Pokémon that were later recorded in the Book of Vermilion and Purple.

"Those Pokémon that do not exist in any historical records are not the figments of Heize's imagination, but Pokémon from the past and future that he encountered through time travel under the influence of the power of Taleborg, or rather, paradoxical Pokémon!"

This sentence contained so much information that it caused Daigo's brain to freeze for a moment.

What is time travel? A paradoxical Pokémon existing in the past and future?!

Steven, the legendary Pokémon with the ability to travel through time, knows Celebi and Dialga.

These are all legendary Pokémon whose abilities are related to time.

Does Talebagos also possess such an ability?
And that's not the key point; what's even more incredible is...

In "The Book of Zhu Zi", the strange Pokémon that were regarded as fantasy and supernatural tales actually exist.
If it weren't for Xia Chi's video, Daigo would definitely be questioning the authenticity of this information right now.

It can only be said that Xia Chi's previous series of videos have indeed made him quite authoritative in the field of mythology and legends.

Even so, Daigo was very curious about how Natsumi knew about the existence of the so-called [Paradox Pokémon].

Then, in the very next second of the video, he witnessed an extremely shocking scene—

Countless ancient trees reach straight into the sky.

On the ground, an elf that resembles a withered mushroom but exudes a wild and untamed aura awaits its prey;

In the sky, a blue-gray figure flashed across the camera like lightning. When the camera panned again, a giant "Dream Fairy" was engaged in battle with "Ashroom"!

Is this AI?

Daigo's eyes widened instantly as he searched for traces of AI in the video.

But regardless of the subtle changes in the environment, or the fluid movements and moves of the two Pokémon, it was all remarkable.
It's completely real footage!
Daigo, who had been watching the video with the comments off, couldn't hold back any longer.

He wanted to see if any computer experts in the comments section could analyze the authenticity of this "Ancient World Paradox Pokémon Battle" video.

[Is this an AI video? ??? ??? ?]

If this is an AI-generated video, then it can only mean that AI has developed to the point where it's almost dominating both humans and Pokémon.

So this is really the ancient world? Did the prison water really travel back in time?

[Have you ever time-traveled before making a time-travel video? Some of your stuff is nonsense and assumptions. Seriously, buddy, did you actually time travel?!]

[Does being a buddy mean you can travel through time? Well, I'm not a buddy either, I want to travel through time too!]

[Does anyone really believe that the prison water incident occurred during time travel? Then let me ask you, was the video posted from the so-called ancient world? Did the ancient world also have internet signals?]

[Couldn't the video have been filmed there and then uploaded after we got back?]

【You only traveled through time for a few minutes and then came back, huh? Are you kidding me?!】

Do not believe or spread rumors.

[Is nobody paying attention to the main point? The paradoxical Pokémon in the Book of Crimson and Purple might actually exist!]

"So what? What does it have to do with us? Are you saying they'll travel to the modern world in a time machine from the future? At least make your story believable!"

【.】

------

After this footage, which appears to be from a real ancient world, ended, the video finally came to a close.

on the screen.

In a room that resembles a laboratory, a researcher in a white lab coat holds a somewhat familiar-looking gemstone.

Before me stood an ordinary-looking Tibetan Mastiff Godfather.

[Wow, that's a super crystal bead? Is it the one Lao Shui used in the competition?]

It looks similar, but it's rougher and has more impurities.

[So, does this mean the development of the crystal bead was successful?]

The scene continues.

The crystal bead suddenly shone brightly the moment it came into contact with the Mastiff Godfather.

Just like Xia Chi's battle against Chi Hong in that final, the Mastiff Godfather completed his crystallization in that radiance!

Inside the laboratory, everyone was caught up in a celebratory frenzy.

Daigo fell into deep thought.

It seems that the Taijing Bead has indeed been successfully developed.
Daigo originally thought that the "Tai Crystallization" mentioned by Natsumi in that post-match interview would take a long time to become widespread.

Even if it takes one or two years, he considers it fast.

I never expected that it would only be two months.
The Parthian region is poised for a powerful rise!
Steven, who had served as the Hoenn champion, keenly sensed the changing landscape of the world's major leagues.

The origin of all this was a rookie trainer who hadn't even been in the industry for very long!
Times have changed!
Daigo, who is still several years away from thirty and far from being old, was suddenly filled with emotion.

Too crystalline, too crystalline.
I wonder if there are any other places like Taijinghua that can have a strange reaction with spirits?

Lost in thought, the video quietly ended.

Daigo opened the comments section, hoping to see if there were any valuable discussions.

However, at the top of the comments section was a prominent "advertisement" from [Padia Chief Champion Yeci]—

On April 20th, the Padia Alliance will hold a press conference in Niangguang City to launch the "First Generation Taijing Bead." There will be an exciting exhibition match between Xia Chi and Qi Shu. We hope everyone will tune in!

Tsk, how come this treasure of Xia Chi was discovered by Ye Ci first?
No, it seems like Cynthia dug it up first.

Unfortunately, while the "Arceus creation myth" was a big gimmick, its actual impact was far less than the discovery of the Padia Crater.

Bringing his thoughts back, Daigo sent a message to Mikkel.

Are you free on the 20th? Want to go to Niangguang City together?

Mikli replied in less than ten seconds.

"Adam and I have already bought our plane tickets, what do you think?"
