Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 235 The Aftermath of the Time Machine (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Emerging from the online world, Mingyou and the others lost their balance and fell to the ground due to their hasty escape.

The Poké Ball containing Ironthorn exploded with a bang at that moment, failing to capture it. Accompanied by the unique special effect of a Shiny Pokémon, Ironthorn appeared directly in front of everyone in the research institute.

I'm hungry!

"..."

Looking at the iron thorns, the group, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, fell silent for a moment, and the research institute was plunged into a deathly silence before erupting.

"Why did you bring this thing out here?!"

"Run!"

"Don't destroy this place..."

Because of the previous video transmission, everyone saw the giant Iron Thorn wreaking havoc in the network world. Although it is unclear why the Pokémon here looks so much like Tyranitar, it is definitely very dangerous.

Fortunately, Mingyou quickly got up and explained that Tie Jingji was not dangerous and that he had only been controlled before. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"That was close..."

Naruto glanced back at the now-closed teleportation system and confirmed that all the Pokémon, including Iron Warrior, had now emerged.

Fortunately, Miltons aren't the type to fight to the death, otherwise they would definitely be hunted down to the ends of the earth... Being chased by a Milton is terrifying no matter how you look at it.

But everything is alright now. Before Xiaoqing and the others could ask about her situation, Mingyou looked at them and asked, "What about the missing people? There shouldn't be any missing, right? I didn't specifically count them."

"No, the number matches the list of missing trainers that Officer Jenny provided."

"Phew...that's good."

In this way, Aunt Lark and the Mastiff godfather who handed out flyers could both find their families. This kind of happy ending is exactly what he wanted to see!

However, the next step is to deal with his affairs. He suddenly went to the online world, did all sorts of things, and finally came out with Iron Thorn and Iron Warrior. If he doesn't find an excuse, there will be no way to explain it, and it will be very troublesome.

Feeling the gazes on her, Mingyou was about to make up another joke when Xiaoqing suddenly said, "He's the outside help I found. He got in using the same method as those missing persons—he deliberately got caught to investigate."

Although this explanation was somewhat far-fetched, no one doubted that there was anything wrong with what the Patia champion said, and they all suddenly realized it. Only Peony noticed something, but did not say it immediately.

"In any case, let's deal with the problems in the online world first, and repair all the corrupted data to prevent other problems from occurring."

"clear!"

"..."

Watching them get busy again, Mingyou scratched his head. Did nobody even care that the Iron Warrior was here? But it was probably for the best that nobody paid attention, otherwise it would be more troublesome to explain.

After leaving the research institute with Xiaoqing, Yeci learned that Xiaoqing had reported everything that had happened there. Yeci then planned to go to the hospital to visit his comatose friend.

"Do you want to come along?"

"Me? Forget it, too much trouble."

Mingyou shook his head and declined. He still needed to take the unconscious Iron Warrior away, so he wouldn't go for the time being. In any case, he couldn't escape this matter later anyway.

The other party didn't deliberately avoid talking to Yeci during their conversation. He overheard that Yeci would personally come to Niangguang City to handle this matter, so he should prepare in advance to avoid being speechless at the last minute.

After saying goodbye to Xiaoqing, everyone's attention is now focused on the missing persons, and there's nothing for him to do yet. Mingyou plans to use this time to ask Tie Jingji and the others about some things in the online world.

For example, how exactly did they come from the future to this era? And there's also the Winged One, who has traveled to ancient times and returned. It can't be that Dialga is having a fit of madness and messing around, right?

After leaving the Rotom Corporation headquarters, Naruto first went to the Pokémon Center to return Porygon Type B to Uriel and express his gratitude. He then restored the Pokémon.

During the wait, he watched Tie Jingji follow him. Tie Jingji knew that without a clear understanding of the situation, it would be easier to act if he followed someone he knew.

"I won't bring up the matter of your data being modified and controlled by the Iron Warriors anymore. If you have any questions, it's better to go directly to them. What I'm more curious about now is how you guys got here?"

"I'm so hungry..."

Ironthorn shook its head. It had been sleeping soundly in the cave, but when it woke up, it suddenly found itself in this era, where civilization had regressed considerably, and humans and Pokémon were even living in harmony.

When it was wandering the streets, it was discovered by the Iron Warrior, who then stated that they had all come from different future eras and had accidentally arrived in this era. They should work together to change it and promote the development of humanity.

However, it is not a man-made Pokémon, but a completely new individual that Tyranitar evolved over hundreds of millions of years due to the harsh environment created by humans. The development of human civilization has nothing to do with it.

So it was taken control...

In the online world, there are many Pokémon from the future, most of which have been manipulated by Iron Warriors through data modification. Only Milton, relying on its powerful strength, has turned the tables and taken over the online world discovered by Iron Warriors.

For these Pokémon from the future, the development of the present era is far too backward and difficult to adapt to. Only the online world is a better fit for them.

"I see... Are there many Paradox Pokémon from the future in the online world? I just haven't encountered them all. But the most crucial point is Iron Warrior. However, it's clear that it doesn't know the reason for its time travel either. After traveling, it just wants to help humanity develop civilization quickly."

Mingyou gradually understood everything and temporarily stopped asking about the Iron Thorns. She would ask them about it after Zhenyifa and the Iron Warrior woke up.

While he was pondering these things, a phone call came in. It was Xiaoqing calling, hoping that he could go to the hospital with the two Pokémon he had brought from the online world. Obviously, something was wrong.

"So fast...?"

Mingyou was still waiting for Kirlia and the others to recover, so it seemed there was no time for them to chat now. After getting the Poké Ball back from Nurse Joy, he left with Ironthorn and Iron Warrior, heading to the hospital in the city center.

The details of finding the missing children have not yet been made public. The authorities have launched an investigation, as this incident has had a serious impact. However, the children are all safe and sound, and some have already woken up.

Under Mudan's remote command, Mingyou quietly arrived at the city center hospital without being noticed by others. Xiaoqing and Guletun, whom she had only recently parted ways with, were waiting for her there.

"You've finally arrived."

"What's wrong? Does Miss Ye Ci need to see me about something?"

"No, she's still on her way. But Senior Pipa has already woken up. He seems to have investigated something about this incident, and I think you should find out too. After all, we were able to resolve this perfectly thanks to your assistance."

This is Xiaoqing's compensation for failing to keep her promise before. Moreover, it's not convenient to talk about this for the time being, as it has a significant impact. Even though she is the champion, she might still be punished.

After chatting for a bit, Xiaoqing took Mingyou to the ward where Paipa was. On the way there, she whispered, "By the way, have you ever heard of the time machine?"

"A time machine... the kind you can just crawl into by opening a drawer? I've seen it in anime, and I've always wanted to experience it."

"It's not Doraemon, it's a real time machine!"

Xiaoqing corrected him earnestly. She was speechless at the person in front of her who was two years older than her, as he could always joke around as if nothing was wrong.

She then returned to the topic, glanced around at the surroundings, and whispered, "This incident is very likely a consequence of the time machine, because the timing is just too coincidental."

"Um?"
