Chapter 90 The Road of Legends
Flatland, Pokémon Center Platform.

"Teacher Yu, these two Pokémon are seriously injured and may need to stay here for about three days."

"Let them rest in the treatment device for now, and come back to pick them up after Friday."

Nurse Joy, who frequently appears in Qingyu's live stream, frowned and looked at the Mastiff Godfather lying in the Poké Ball and another Pokémon whose name she couldn't recall, her eyes clearly showing a hint of heartache.

"Thank you so much, Miss Joey!"

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

This not-so-mysterious medical device in front of me truly lives up to its reputation as the most deeply hidden black technology in the Pokémon world; it's completely unscientific...

In reality, whether in the anime or the games, no matter how serious a Pokémon's injury is, the healing time is generally no more than a day.

Yes, that's very Pokémon.

The fact that Milton and the Mastiff Godfather had to lie inside for three whole days also indicates that their situation was extremely dangerous.

Joey from Pingdie Town simply shook his head at Qingyu's gratitude.

"Teacher Yu, while the Pokémon Center's medical equipment is very effective for most injuries, but..."

"These two Pokémon must have been injured by a very powerful Pokémon. Even if the external wounds have been healed, the internal injuries are difficult to heal. We currently have no good solution for this."

"Feel sorry!"

Miss Joey immediately apologized, but Qingyu repeatedly waved her hand to stop her.

"Don't say that, Miss Joey."

"It's already a great help to temporarily alleviate their injuries. The rest will be left to me and this young man to figure out."

After Qingyu finished speaking, she pointed to Paipa, who had been silent behind her.

……

“Mr. Qingyu, thank you very much for saving the Mastiff Godfather and Millardon.”

On the way home from Pingdie Town, after a long silence, Pipa, who seemed to have been wanting to say something, was blushing with anxiety before finally mustering the courage to speak.

"And... I'm so sorry!"

Papa suddenly stopped and bowed almost at a 90-degree angle to Qingyu in apology.

From the moment Pipa recognized the man as "Teacher Qingyu," the Sunshine Gym Leader Nemo had mentioned, she had been tormented.

On one hand, Qingyu is clearly the savior of the Mastiff Godfather.

For Pipa, the Mastiff Godfather was his only family in the world, and he would likely collapse completely if he lost him.

On the other hand, the tragedy of Qingyu's family is almost entirely the responsibility of her parents, Dr. Orin/Fotu.

If they hadn't insisted on going back into the depths of Zone Zero without proper safety preparations, the accident six months ago would never have happened.

Then Qingyu and herself would not lose their parents.

The combination of these two factors caused Pipa considerable inner turmoil throughout the journey.

"...You're not the one who should apologize."

Qingyu sighed and subconsciously reached out to ruffle Papa's smooth hair.

Judging from his behavior along the way, I could roughly guess what he was thinking.

Just like in the game, Pipa is a thoughtful and kind child.

In this matter, Qingyu has no intention of forgiving the stubborn doctor couple on behalf of anyone affected by this incident; in fact, no one should have that right.

But in this matter, Piper was just a victim, and he can't be blamed at all.

Therefore, Qingyu does not view this child with prejudice.

"Eh?"

After receiving the unexpected reply, Papa looked up in bewilderment and noticed Aoba's sincere gaze.

"Instead of thinking about this, let's figure out how to fix the injuries to those two Pokémon." "Pippa, you should have some ideas about the Pokémon that hurt them, right?"

"Hmm... that's very likely the power of Pokémon from another dimension."

After a moment's thought, Piper quickly came up with an answer.

Of course, although it was Qingyu who took the initiative to ask Papa, he actually knew more inside information than Papa did.

The only unexpected event in Zone Zero was caused by the professor couple using the "time machine" again to summon Pokémon from different times and spaces.

Using the power of the time machine is like drawing cards. The first one I drew, Milton, was a good-natured character and definitely counted as an SSR.

But to draw another card is basically gambling with your life.

As it turned out, the doctoral couple's gamble failed.

Not only was the research base destroyed, but it also released a number of dangerous paradoxical Pokémon.

This directly led to the closure of Zone Zero once again.

"Yes, if they are Pokémon from the past or future, maybe those two books left at home will have a cure for them!"

Guided by Qingyu's question, Papa muttered a few more words to himself and quickly came to an answer.

The book he was referring to was probably the "Book of Vermilion/Purple," which was the two doctors' favorite.

These two books were written by the royal explorer Hezer 200 years ago. They detail his amazing experiences in the Zero Zone and record many Pokémon that do not exist in Padia.

But because these records are so bizarre, most people just treat them as ghost stories.

Only those two super fans regarded it as a treasure, and went to explore Zone Zero based on the contents of the book, leaving behind a precious handwritten copy.

"Mr. Qingyu, I need to go home first to see if I can find the notes on treating the Mastiff Godfather's injuries!"

After saying goodbye to Qingyu, Pipa hurriedly ran back to the Lighthouse Research Institute.

After watching him leave, Qingyu sighed silently.

As expected, I couldn't escape triggering the main quest in the end.

Or rather, from the moment he saw Millerton, Qingyu roughly guessed how things would unfold.

The main storyline of "Zhu/Zi" is different from its predecessor. In addition to being very free to explore, there are three different main storylines that players need to advance in the first playthrough.

Challenge gyms to earn eight badges and unlock the "Road to Champions" for the chance to challenge the Elite Four and the Champion.
Accept a commission from a mysterious person to defeat and disband the delinquent student group, the "Stardust Road" of the Star Team;
as well as……

To heal Pipa's mastiff godfather's injuries and rekindle Milton's power, he embarks on the "Legendary Journey" in search of the secret seasoning.

Just as Qingyu was wondering if his protagonist treatment was legitimate, the system, which had been silent for several days, appeared before him.

[Having returned to your 18-year-old self, and already on the right track in the dojo's main path, you've begun your performance.]

But at the same time, another problem that has troubled you for two lifetimes also comes to the surface—

What exactly happened in Zone Zero that led to its closure for two years, only to be cleaned up by a young champion two years later?

To enter Sector Zero, besides having sufficient personal strength, more clues may lie hidden in that Pokémon that shouldn't exist in the current timeline.

The main quest "Path of Legends" has been updated.

[Current Task: Collect the secret seasoning to awaken Milton's full potential. (Current Progress 0/5)]

[Reward: 1 random gold item (5 times total), "Treasure Kitchen Cooking Secrets: An Easy Cooking Guide That Anyone Can Learn!" (Automatically awarded upon completion of the task)]

"hiss--"

Qingyu suddenly realized that he really had no choice but to take this job.

Props or not are not important.

If I had the secret recipe from Treasure's Kitchen, it seems there's still room to salvage my cooking skills!
