You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

The press conference for Chapter 188 concluded perfectly, thanks to the efforts of various influential figures! (5k views)

The [Taijingzhu Power Bank] was Xia Chiti's idea, which Dr. Futu developed.

Although the Crystal Orb in the game can slowly recharge automatically.

However, Xia Chi conducted an experiment and found that in reality, this situation only applies near the Parthian Crater.

Therefore, power banks are still quite necessary.

Otherwise, having to go to the Pokémon Center to recharge every time a Pokémon crystallizes would be too troublesome.

If you buy a "power bank", you can use it ten times and then take it to the Pokémon Center to charge.

Although it's still a bit primitive, it's much better than having to charge it every time you use it.

At the same time, the appearance of various gift packs also sparked a frenzy of discussion in the live chat.

[Hahaha, that familiar taste! No wonder he's a business elite from Donghuang! I agree!]

[Oh no, is Prison Water going to become the Twisted Fern of the Pokémon item world?]

However, the crystallization process seems quite troublesome; it's a bit discouraging.

[It's better to discourage more people from buying it, so no one will compete with me for it!]

[All battery life fears stem from insufficient power storage. Watch me just buy ten Crystal Bead Power Banks!]

Fortunately, the price of the Legendary Bundle is reasonable, so it should be easier to snag one.

[Bring on the Paradox Pokémon!]

【.】

"The specific pre-sale time is set for midnight on April 21st after the press conference. At that time, everyone can make purchases on the official website of Zero Zone Elf Props Company."

The Zero Zone Elf Item Company is a new company jointly established by Xia Chi and the Padia Alliance. Its first product is the Tai Crystal Bead, as well as related elf items for Tai Crystallization.

Although it was virtually unknown before today, after this press conference, it may suddenly become the second most well-known company in the Parthian region, second only to Rotom mobile phone company!
That concludes the introduction to Taijinghua.

Xia Chi paused slightly, and the bigwigs below held their breath in silence, vaguely guessing what Xia Chi was about to say.

"Next, I will disclose some information related to Paradox Pokémon."

As expected, it's Paradox Pokémon!
To the discerning top trainers in the audience, if all the paradoxical Pokémon in the "Book of Purple and Crimson" were real...
Forget it, I won't expect it to rival the capabilities of the Zhenyi machine, just half its strength is enough.

The value of discovering the Paradox Pokémon species is no less than that of the Crystallization system itself!
"As you can see, the Winged Hair beside me is one of the ancient paradoxical species, the Winged Hair."

Xia Chi said, "However, the first misconception that needs to be corrected is that Winged Wing is not the evolved form of Misdreavus. To be precise, none of the Paradox Pokémon have an evolutionary chain."

A slight murmur arose from the audience.

Xia Chi could guess what was being discussed; it was nothing more than—

"Then let me ask you, without evolution, how did your Misdreavus transform into Winged Wing?"

Xia Chi did not intend to explain this question.

It's not a question of whether anyone believes it or not; the main issue is that even if someone did believe it, they couldn't do it anyway, so why create unnecessary trouble for yourself?

Skipping over this question, the LED screen behind me lit up with images of various ancient paradoxes from the "Book of Zhu".

Xia Chi continued, "Due to the era in which they lived, most of the ancient Paradox Pokémon were quite brutal and fierce. Even the ancestor of Jigglypuff, which is generally perceived as cute, was a very aggressive and ferocious Pokémon."

No one in the audience disagreed with Xia Chi's description of the Paradoxical Pokémon.

Even Professor Oak doesn't have the same authority as Natsumi on paradoxical species.

After all, who has the authority to travel back to the ancient world as Xia Chi?
Although this guy refused to talk about it, everyone knew the truth.

If there really is no time travel, where did the footage of the ancient world in the video come from?

How did the Misdreavus manage to "revert to its ancestral form" and evolve into the Winged Wing?
Sometimes it's better to see through something but not say it.

------

On stage, Xia Chi continued, "Of course, I know what everyone is most concerned about: [whether Paradoxical Pokémon will appear in the real world in the future], right?"

A chorus of jeers erupted from the audience.

Xia Chi smiled slightly and said, "In fact, Dr. Futu and Dr. Orin from the Zero Zone Research Institute are also dedicated to finding the answer to this question."

"And the best solution to this problem has already emerged, and that is—a time machine!"

The bigwigs in the audience were alright; they had all learned through their own information channels that the Zero Zone Research Institute of the Padia Alliance was developing a time machine.

But the tremors in the comments were no different from when I first saw the Dream Demon's crystallization.

Holy crap, they can actually develop a time machine?!

Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with technology; the decisive factor is the power of Tarebago, so it should be considered Pokémon technology!

So, catching a Dialga is like building a time machine.

Anyway, I hope they can actually build it. I want to cultivate my own winged generator too!

Forget about it. Even if a time machine were ever built, how much do you think it would cost to buy a Paradox Pokémon?

To put it simply, based on the current situation, Paradox Pokémon's combat power is comparable to that of late-blooming pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and their rarity even surpasses that of many others. You can guess!

[Damn it, in the end, they still lost to capital?]

【.】

Almost everyone believes that even if a time machine were developed, bringing paradoxical Pokémon from the future or ancient times into the modern era would be impossible.

Their price would be astronomical!
Most pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the base are priced at tens of millions of League Coins, and even rarer Paradox Pokémon would cost two or three times that amount.

Just when everyone shared this view, Xia Chi on stage spoke up.

"Although the development of the time machine is not yet fully completed, we have already planned a fairly comprehensive solution for the upcoming Paradox Pokémon."

Xia Chi smiled slightly and said, "We will build an unprecedentedly large Pokémon conservation area inside the Padia Giant Crater. The protagonist is the Paradox Pokémon brought from the time machine!"

The audience was in an uproar.

"Pokémon conservation area" and "Pokémon breeding base" are completely different concepts.

The former aims to conserve wild Pokémon in a region, preventing them from being over-harvested or even illegally poached.

The latter involves raising a group of Pokémon, allowing them to reproduce within the base, and then legally selling the best Pokémon eggs or hatchlings.

The biggest difference between the two is undoubtedly—

The Pokémon in the breeding base are artificially bred products; you pay money, and they sell them.

However, the conservation area contains wild Pokémon, and theoretically anyone who obtains the necessary qualifications can enter and capture them!

So, the Xiachi and Padia alliance are actually cutting off their own source of income?
Although the paradoxical Pokémon transmitted through the time machine were not artificially bred, it was still the time machine that Xia Chi and his friends had created.

If it were truly treated as a breeding base for operation and sales, no one would dare to utter a single word of objection.

That is precisely why this choice shocked everyone in the audience and all viewers in the live broadcast room.

At the same time, it further fueled their curiosity.

What is Xia Chi thinking?
------

"As mentioned before, Paradox Pokémon are special Pokémon that live in a time and space far removed from ours, so their temperament is more eccentric and ferocious than the Pokémon we are familiar with."

Looking at the shocked bigwigs below the stage, Xia Chi said, "But this kind of personality is not innate or so-called genetic instinct. It is just a historical limitation of their era. After they come into contact with humans, it is like flapping their wings."

As Xia Chi spoke, he patted Fa Jie's head, causing her to wag her pigtails like a speeddog wagging its tail, expressing her joy.

"They can also become close companions to humans."

Below the stage, Professor Oak stroked his chin thoughtfully and suddenly exclaimed, "This kid, Wuxiachi, has a lot of my style from when I was young!"

Ma Shide, who was standing next to him, wanted to retort to the old man, but when he thought about the old man's terrifying resume in his youth, it seemed like there was no way to even find a fault with him.
If Professor Oak, who has received numerous honors throughout his life, had one achievement he was most proud of, he would undoubtedly choose the research work he dedicated his life to—

Explore the relationship between humans and Pokémon!
The rest, whether it's attribute classification, ability discovery, or even the identity of a "battle legend" who swept all trainers of the same era.

In Professor Oak's own mind, they were all secondary.

And isn't Xia Chi in front of us the same?

What kind of sparks will fly between the ferocious Pokémon from the ancient wilderness and the humans they have never seen before?
Professor Oak gazed admiringly at Xia Chi and Zhen Yifa beside him, his curiosity about the answer to this question growing ever stronger.

On stage, Xia Chi continued, "Therefore, before the ferocious nature of Paradox Pokémon changes, we must strictly control the humans who come into contact with them. This is not only for the safety of trainers, but also for the safety of Paradox Pokémon."

Xia Chi's meaning couldn't be clearer: the entry threshold for the Paradoxical Species Conservation Area is not money, or rather, not just money, but also the trainer's strength.

Otherwise, the already incredibly dangerous Padia Crater would be further engulfed by a horde of ferocious and paradoxical Pokémon, and all trainers would be allowed to enter without any restrictions.

That wouldn't be a trainer's paradise, but rather a buffet for paradoxical creatures.
"Of course, we will also introduce a batch of Ditto and try to breed Paradox Pokémon, striving to integrate these ancient Pokémon into our world as soon as possible."

This is just Xia Chi making empty promises.

In the game, all the paradoxical Pokémon are genderless, and Xia Chi verified this with her own Misdreavus. Sure enough, after evolving, it changed from female to genderless.

Ideally, only the Fluttering Wing Pokémon would be genderless, while the other Paradox Pokémon would also be capable of reproduction.

The worst-case scenario is that all paradoxical species are incapable of reproduction.
However, this is hard to explain. If they don't have the ability to reproduce, then where did all those paradoxical Pokémon in the ancient world come from?
So perhaps it exists, but it's just being done in a way that's hard for modern society to understand.

For example, the birth of the vibrating wing engine.

Xia Chi recalled the enormous fossil captured by Rotom's lens. Perhaps the Zhenyifa was truly formed from the soul of an ancient pterosaur?

However, regardless of the circumstances, once the time machine is successfully developed and Paradoxical Pokémon are brought over, how to breed them will be a major focus of the Zero Zone Research Institute.

Undoubtedly, Xia Chi's plan regarding the transfer of Paradoxical Pokémon won the appreciation of all the bigwigs in the audience.

The continuous applause is dedicated to Xia Chi, and even more so to this magnificent and paradoxical blueprint.

Even the usually critical comments were now filled with messages like "Sir, you are truly righteous!"

With this, the entire Taijinghua press conference has come to a near end.

Ultimately, it's nothing more than the distribution of Pokémon Centers that offer [Crystal Charge] services, or some other details.

Whether it was the bigwigs in the audience or the viewers in the live broadcast room, everyone felt extremely satisfied at that moment.

This press conference was definitely worth coming to!

Crystal Beads, Star Crystallization, Wing Slash, Time Machine, and many more paradoxical Pokémon.
Undoubtedly, these keywords will dominate the trending search terms for a long time after the live broadcast of this press conference ends.

In fact, it already is.

In short, one is a half-finished product that cannot yet be used in all regions, and the other is a complete pie in the sky that hasn't even been built yet.

However, overly crystallized and paradoxical Pokémon will inevitably affect the entire Pokémon world's landscape.

This is the consensus of the vast majority of people who watched the press conference.

Just as the press conference concluded successfully, Xia Chi walked off the stage with Zhenyi.

Among the departing guests, several figures did not leave the Brewing Light Dojo, but instead headed backstage.

------

Congratulations on the great success of the press conference!

Backstage, Ye Ci immediately came to greet them.

Xia Chi replied with a smile, "I should be the one congratulating you, President."

If you were to ask who was the happiest person at this moment, Xia Chi would only rank second.

The first one is undoubtedly Ye Ci, who is trying her best to suppress her smile.

Today is undoubtedly the most pleasant day for her since taking over as president of the Padiya League.

Not only has it enhanced the international status and influence of the Padia Alliance, but judging from the number of visits to the [Zero Zone Elf Item Company] website, the economic benefits it has generated will undoubtedly be unprecedented.

It wasn't that Yeci wanted political achievements; she was simply deeply in love with Padia.

Xia Chi's happiness had nothing to do with either of these; it was purely due to his deep love for Alliance Coins.

The profits from Taijing beads, including Taijing fragments and Taijing power banks, are extremely high.

The cost is no more than the daily operation of the Zero Zone Research Institute, as well as the construction and production labor of the subsequent factory, but a finished product can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As for the cost of raw materials such as Taijing stone and Taijing fragments?
That thing has as many as you want in the Zero Hollow.

Therefore, this means that as long as one Taijing Bead is sold, Xia Chi can receive at least 50,000 Alliance Coins as a share!
Of course, the unit price will definitely be significantly discounted if it's sold in advance.

But what is certain is the explosive buying frenzy for Ethereum beads, which are in short supply.

Just after midnight tonight, the world will have one more young billionaire.

For Xia Chi, whether he is a billionaire or not is irrelevant.

The main thing is that I no longer have to worry about not being able to afford to raise elves, which is really great.

Xia Chi was about to open a bottle of champagne with Ye Ci when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The two exchanged a glance, realizing that it must be one of the big shots from the guest seats who had just visited.

I just don't know who will arrive first.

Xia Chi said, "Please come in."

When the door opened, Xia Chi was still startled, even though she was mentally prepared.

Because the people who came were not just any big shots, but two giants, Professor Oak and Master.

Although Qinglv was actually accompanying him, with these two present, saying things like "the one who nurtured" and "the future leader of the Pokémon world" would be somewhat laughable.

"Professor Oak, Master Ma, what brings you two here together?"

Xia Chi warmly stepped forward to greet him.

Ye Ci dared not be negligent, and stood up from the sofa to nod slightly to the two legends to show his respect.

Then he voluntarily left the room, leaving the three of them to talk.
Oh, and there's also a greenish-blue one. Never mind, it's not important.

As the door closed, Ma Shide chuckled and scolded, "Didn't I tell you that after this is over, my Martial Arts Master Xiong will come and challenge you?"

Xia Chi wasn't easily intimidated. He chuckled and said, "Perfect timing. It seems like my Pengpeng hasn't used his thorny vine club in a long time."

This young man is impressive; he has guts!

Ma Shide's dim eyes lit up slightly as he excitedly exclaimed, "There's a place here, let's have a spar!"

Qinglu looked completely bewildered.

What's going on? How come they're fighting after only exchanging a few words?

It's still the legendary battle!

Professor Oak, seeing that the two clowns, one old and one young, seemed genuinely about to go out and battle, interrupted them helplessly, saying, "Are you two going to destroy the gym if you fight here?"

While it's true that there are energy barriers in the battle arenas inside the gym, those barriers are only for normal Pokémon!
Even the kings and champions are fine.
But Martial Arts Bear Master and Evil Spirit are clearly two legendary spirits!
If a fight really breaks out, the Niangguang Dojo will have to close for several months due to extensive damage to its buildings.

Thinking about how terrifying Qi Shu would be afterward, Xia Chi immediately dismissed the idea.

However, if Professor Oak hadn't reminded her, Xia Chi would have really wanted to have a go at Master Ma's martial arts bear.

After all, this is a legendary battle where they were undefeated for fifteen consecutive years!
In fact, Masde didn't actually lose the last match; he just felt it was pointless and didn't want to play anymore, so he didn't take the field.

It's easy to imagine how devastating that was for their opponent in the finals.

Compared to his master, the legendary undefeated record that Dan Di was most proud of was far less impressive.

"I haven't looked forward to a match this much in years!"

Masted was also quite disappointed, and then said, "Come to Armor Isle sometime, and we'll have a good fight there!"

Xia Chi readily agreed, "Of course, I will definitely pay you a visit another day!"

------

After the little incident, Professor Oak said, "Kike, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?"

Xia Chi naturally shook his head and said, "How could I mind? Professor Oak, please say so."

"That's good."

Professor Oak said, "Your description of the relationship between Paradox Pokémon and humans on stage just now deeply moved me. If a time machine is invented in the future and Paradox Pokémon really appear in the present world, can I participate in the research together?"

Xia Chi was overjoyed: "What are you saying? We would be more than happy to have you participate in the research!"

This is certainly not just polite talk. Given Professor Oak's authoritative status in the Pokémon research community, even just being a consultant at the Zero Zone Research Institute would be a great honor.

Not to mention personally participating in the research.

Just as Xia Chi and Professor Oak were discussing paradoxical Pokémon, there was another knock on the door.

Ma Shide laughed and said, "You've got quite a few guests today, kid."

Xia Chi was also somewhat helpless. He glanced at Professor Oak, who nodded at him.

Since Professor Oak didn't seem to mind, Xia Chi said, "Please come in."

The door opened again, and there were several familiar faces.

To be precise, it was Xia Chi who was more familiar with them on one side.

Mikkel, Adam, and Daigo.

P.S. I'm too sleepy, I'll finish the other chapter tomorrow during the day.
