Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 363 Dr. Fortu, The Principle of Time Travel (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing the strange expression on Mingyou's face, Futu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. At the same time, he finally saw the true face of the white dragon and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"This... could it be Reshiram, the legendary white hero of the Unova region? It's not just a legend, it really exists!"

As he said this, the surprise on Futu's face gradually faded. It was clear that he had seen his share of ups and downs and had a rather composed personality. He wouldn't be so excited as to be speechless just because he saw Reshiram appear.

At this moment, Mingyou finally came to her senses and couldn't care less about anything else for the time being. Since other people had finally appeared, she could only place her hopes on them.

He immediately pointed to the injured Pokémon frozen behind him and shouted, "Professor Fortu, do you have any medicine? These Pokémon are seriously injured and need immediate treatment!"

"What?"

Fortu paused for a moment, then, disregarding the other's use of "Professor," he looked at the frozen Pokémon and said with a heavy expression, "Bring these Pokémon with you."

"Um!"

Mingyou nodded and asked Reshiram to help carry the ice blocks. He followed Futu to a building with a signal tower in the distance.

"Bring them in. This is the 3rd Observatory in Zone 0. There are treatment chambers inside. I'll have the medical team that's still on the upper level come over immediately."

"no problem!"

There's no time to worry about that now, this is all we can do.

After sending Keldeo and the others inside, they were placed into the healing chambers, which filled them all. Although they couldn't heal their injuries, they were enough to restore their stamina and keep them alive.

At this moment, Mingyou finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Futu. Futu waved his hand, indicating that they, as researchers in Zone 0, would treat any injured Pokémon they encountered in Zone 0.

However, there was one thing he was curious about, and now he could finally ask: "Why do you call me Doctor? Right now, I'm just a researcher working with the team on Taijing energy research."

"this……"

Mingyou was speechless for a moment. She remembered that Dr. Orin was only called a doctor after she developed the Taijing Bead. Could it be that the Taijing Bead had not been developed yet in this era? So where exactly did I travel to?

He was a little confused. Dr. Fortu and Dr. Orin should have been husband and wife, that is, Pipa's parents, but there was no information about Dr. Fortu in his world, and even Pipa did not know who her father was.

But now, in this world, Dr. Fortu appears as a researcher. Thinking about it from another perspective, Dr. Orin may not even exist in this world... That's why it was shocked before, realizing that it had traveled to the wrong place and had probably come to the past of another world.

So how should we answer now?

"Forehead……"

After thinking for a few seconds, he scratched his head and replied with a smile, "Shouldn't all researchers be PhDs? That's always been my impression."

"If you can't produce some substantial research results, you can't be called a PhD; this title is highly respectable!"

"Is that so... Haha, I don't know much about it, since I've never even been to school for a single day."

As she spoke, Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally gotten away with it. Although she still had many questions in her mind, she decided to wait a while to avoid causing trouble.

Just then, Futu put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and asked with a smile, "You're probably not from this world, are you? Or not from this timeline, but from the future or the past?"

"!!!"

Mingyou was startled. What was going on? Was there a cheat code?

While he was still in shock, Futu smiled and explained, "Previously, we detected an abnormal fluctuation of crystalline energy in the middle layer of Zone Zero Research Institute, so I used the teleportation device to come to the 3rd observation station in the middle layer, and I didn't expect to see you guys there."

"Looks like you knew..."

Since she had been seen through, Mingyou stopped hiding it and said, "I was camping with my companions at the Crystal Pool in Beishang Township when a fog suddenly appeared, and before I knew it, I was here."

"Beishang Township..."

Futu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "I see. That land in the East, huh? Although I've never been there, I've heard of it. But your sudden arrival is no accident."

"Um?"

"Wait me a moment……"

As he spoke, Futu walked to a computer not far away. After a few operations, a device resembling a temperature gun appeared on the table next to him. He picked it up, returned to his original position, and used it to measure Mingyou's temperature.

drip-

The temperature gun beeped, and Futu nodded: "Sure enough, the amount of Taijing energy in your body is seriously excessive, which is why you transmigrated."

"what?"

Mingyou was puzzled. What was the principle behind this?

Futu didn't hide anything, explaining, "We haven't yet solved the mysteries and principles of Taijing energy, but another person and I discovered that once Taijing energy exceeds a certain purity and concentration threshold, it possesses the ability to connect countless past and future times!"

"In other words..."

"That's right, your transmigration was caused by an excess of Taijing energy in your body. This energy will keep you in this world, and once it's depleted, you will automatically return to your original world."

This is the principle behind the time travel caused by Taijing energy. Mingyou stood there stunned, finally understanding why Milton had left. During the battle with Kyurem, he used up all the Taijing energy in his body at once to use Taijing transformation. His visa expired, and he was automatically deported.

Since that's the case, there's really no need to worry too much. Once the Tai Crystal energy in his body is depleted, he'll naturally be able to go back. However, he's a little curious. Tai Crystal Beads haven't even been invented in this world yet, right? Why does Dr. Futu know so much about them?

Perhaps sensing his question, Futu sighed softly, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes. With his hands in his pockets, he explained, "Because I once accidentally traveled to another world and stayed there for ten years. I thought I would spend the rest of my life there with my family, until one day I suddenly came back..."

"family?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. How could someone who transmigrated alone have a family with them? Unless they met in another world, could it be that Papa's biological father...?

Thinking of this, he quickly asked, "Were your family members in that world Dr. Orin and Piper?"

"..."

Upon hearing those two names, Futu visibly stiffened for a moment, as if hearing the names of people he had longed for day and night again. His emotions then surged, and he asked, "Do you know them?!"

"Um……"

Mingyou nodded, basically confirming that Pipa's biological father was a time traveler. No wonder they said they couldn't find any information about his existence. It's possible that some people knew about it, but Dr. Orin kept it from them.

But how should I put it now...?

You can't just say your son has no parents and is all alone like Batman, or that your wife, while protecting the bullied Gullton, was killed in an explosion at the 4th Observatory when another rabid Gullton destroyed the observatory.

How could I possibly say that!

Noticing Mingyou's hesitant manner, Futu vaguely sensed something was wrong, and the joy that had just appeared on his face faded considerably. He sighed softly and said, "Don't worry about it, just tell me everything."

"Well... okay then."

Since the other party insisted on knowing, he had no choice but to tell them the truth in a roundabout way.

After hearing these things, Futu remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "It's something she was capable of doing, but Pipa... he was not even three years old when I left him, poor child..."

"Wait, three years old?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, feeling that Dr. Futu's age seemed a bit off.

Futu shook his head and replied, "Actually, I've only been back for a year, and less than a month has passed since I traveled through time. The spacetime teleportation caused by the Taijing energy is not fixed. As I just mentioned, it connects countless futures and pasts."

"I see……"

Mingyou suddenly realized that she had misunderstood and subconsciously thought that the timelines of the two worlds might be parallel, ignoring the concept of the past. If it corresponded to the timeline of her own world, then the timeline of this world should be more than 20 years ago.

The Crystal Bead and the Time Machine have not yet been developed. Although Dr. Futu has this knowledge, he is currently only a member of the research team and does not have the authority to access more information.

And there's another problem: Dr. Futu spent 10 years to exhaust the Taijing energy in his body, so... I won't have to stay for 10 years too!

"No way... even if I go back, it'll only be a month or two..."

Mingyou suddenly became worried, and just as Dr. Futu seemed to have something else he wanted to say to him, the medical team arrived from the upper level of the first observation station via the teleportation device of the third observation station. He had no choice but to immediately put Reshiram back on his body to avoid attracting attention.

He was about to step forward to check on Keldeo and the others when Dr. Futu stopped him and told him to leave immediately.

"Don't let anyone else find you. Only research team members are allowed in Zone Zero now. If they find you, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Oh well."

With Dr. Futu helping her block the view of those people, Mingyou took the opportunity to run out of the 3rd Observatory and came to a tree not far away.

"call……"

He breathed a sigh of relief. He had received a lot of information in a short period of time. He never expected to arrive in a parallel universe more than 20 years ago.

Although there was a way back, he really wanted to figure out why he had come here. Perhaps Dr. Fortu knew something.

"We'll just have to wait... and that iron-spotted leaf, it seems to have gone down to the lower level."

Mingyou fell into deep thought, remembering that Dr. Futu said he came because he observed abnormal energy fluctuations in the Taijing crystal, and the fluctuations had only occurred once.

In other words, Jatropha and I were transported here at the same time. So what about Keldeo? This Pokémon, which shouldn't have been in Zone 0, could it have come along too?
