This elf world is a bit strange

She had also found time to read the legendary picture book which had become a bestseller right after its publication.

The huge contrast caused an uproar in the office.

......

......

"Are you two in a hurry to leave? If not, how about letting me pack up? I have a very important prop to bring, a secret weapon~"

Walking out of Yeci's office, Nimo jumped up and down, changing her impetuous style. She squeezed between Firio and Caidou mysteriously, speaking in an unfathomable tone.

Before she finished her words and without waiting for the two to reply, she ran away without a trace with a sly smile like a little fox on her lips.

He doesn't look like an extremely physically challenged person at all.

-----------------

In the deep night, a spaceship with the Padia Alliance logo slowly landed in Jinhui Town, a mountain town outside the Zone Zero Gate.

According to the distance between the two places, the three should not have arrived so late. However, Nemo mysteriously disappeared, causing the two who had packed their bags early to wait for a long time.

After a lot of trouble, Nemo finally arrived in the evening, carrying a brand new backpack.

As for the "secret weapon" she specially prepared, she said proudly that she would keep it a secret and talk about it later.

Although it was a little late, strictly speaking it did not delay anything. After all, the Zone Zero Gate could not be opened at night. The only problem was that there were many researchers from all over the world and there were only a few rooms left in the hotel and the Elf Center.

......

......

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, the Padya Alliance guards escorting the researchers gathered early.

A huge team of several hundred people, including researchers and guards, set out from this quiet mountain city and marched along the winding but smooth road.

The destination, of course, is the Zone Zero Gate located halfway up the mountain.

The three people who had Ye Ci's personal approval documents also followed in the team, inconspicuously attached to the end, just in time to see Aoki, who held the two major positions of Gym Leader and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance.

In the coming period, he will serve as the representative of the Padya Alliance and lead the team personally until the researchers are safely delivered to the two observation points.

If Wusong is the person who is forced to work overtime because he is slacking off and his boss is putting the blame on him, then Aoki is his plus version.

A typical corporate slave, and the biggest victim of the cruel exploitation of the Padiya Alliance led by the black-hearted president Ye Ci.

A real overtime worker.

Following the occasional gaps in the mountains, Firion looked sympathetically at Aoki who was in command, while curiously examining the Padiya Crater not far away.

Although only layers of white mist can be seen, it does not look like a veil, but more like a huge cover that covers everything underneath tightly.

This mysterious place surrounded by mountains contains countless curious things and is an important part of the history of Padya and the world. Even though there was a tragic accident a few years ago, there is always an endless stream of explorers and researchers intending to come here.

Just as he was thinking about something, a big hand suddenly appeared from the side and patted him on the shoulder.

Although he had already discovered something through his super powers, Firion did not reveal himself when he saw that the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions. He turned his head in surprise and his eyes met a dark face full of sincerity.

"Hello! I feel like a stranger. Is this your first time here? Let me introduce myself. I'm Damon, a researcher at the Institute of Ancient Biology. To be honest, I've been here more than a dozen times. If you need any help, just let me know."

With a sunny smile, big bronze hands that have become rough from wind and sun during countless field expeditions, and a recognizable and hearty voice, this young researcher who looks less than 30 years old appears enthusiastic and reliable.

But what was more surprising than the way he greeted her was the Pokémon around him.

A tall and fat body, huge and curved teeth, hard bright purple scales, and eyes that should be ferocious but are uncharacteristically gentle.

Suddenly, what ran out of the Poké Ball and appeared in front of the three people was one of the research objects they were exploring on this trip, an ancient species of paradoxical Pokémon, Majestic Fang, which looked similar to Dongar but also had huge differences.

"Ida!"

Satisfied with Firion's shocked expression, the gentle big man laughed happily and nudged his trainer vigorously.

This way of greeting is undoubtedly the result of long-term practice by this special combination.

The gate of Zone Zero was still far away, but the aura of Zone Zero appeared in front of the three people first.

Chapter 301 Big Fatty is also Fatty

After the slightly frightening greeting, the enthusiastic and outgoing Damon added a lot of fun to the second half of the journey with his hearty laughter.

Being a talkative person, he did not feel strange at all as if it was his first meeting. Instead, he was full of curiosity and interest in the rare new faces in the huge team. He approached the three people in a very familiar manner and started telling them the story of Area Zero and himself and Xiong Wei Ya beside him.

According to his description, many years before the accident at the fourth observation point occurred, when he was still a student, he and Dunjia secretly came to explore near the gate of Zone Zero. It was unknown what they encountered, but they actually traveled through time and space and returned to an ancient era that was completely different from the present world.

There, in the dangerous forests, he and Donjia experienced many dangers, especially seeing many ancient Pokémon that were powerful and ferocious and brutal.

During the endless escape, perhaps affected by the battles, food and environment, Donjia underwent a slow transformation. His body grew rapidly, his teeth became larger and deformed, countless purple scales emerged, and the color of the keratin on his body also changed, becoming what it is today.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up in the cave and suddenly found himself back in the modern era. The reason was that the search and rescue team hired by his family had appeared not far away.

From that time on, although he was still frightened by the experience of escaping danger, the adventurous spirit in his bones had never diminished. On the contrary, the changes in Dunjia aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to find out the reason no matter what.

Therefore, whether it was the free entry before the accident at the fourth observation point or the regular opening after the accident, he could almost say that he never missed a visit, and every time he would find a way to leave the observation point and explore the vast mysterious world.

Nemo was very excited after hearing the wonderful and exciting story. Her beautiful big eyes were shining. Even Caidou was a little moved. She looked at Damon with a little more appreciation and approval.

At this time, several Alliance trainers who were guarding the end of the team also caught up with the others. One of the leaders, who was not young, was obviously an old acquaintance of Damon. Hearing Damon telling his story again, he laughed and teased:

"Damon, you are not allowed to scare or fool these young people! Let me tell you, when this guy was 20 years old, that is, when he was still in school, he started running here every day. Whenever he saw someone he didn't know, he would tell this story. Now he is a researcher and he still does it."

A burst of laughter came from the crowd in front and behind. The researchers and league trainers who heard the middle-aged trainer's sarcasm started to make a noise. They were all people who had heard Damon's story so many times that their ears were callused.

"I... I'm telling the truth!" Damon was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't produce any effective evidence. He was so anxious that his face turned red. "Uncle Hart, you just don't believe me. I will definitely find out the reason why Donjia has changed! I didn't tame it in Zone Zero. We are good friends who grew up together!"

Having said that, feeling a little embarrassed, he looked at Firio and the others apologetically and was about to leave.

Although he knew that no one meant any harm, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Damon. I believe you."

Just as he quickened his pace and tried to slip into the crowd, Firio put his hand on his shoulder and held him down, his eyes wandering.

After just a brief moment of communication, his superpowers sensed an unusual energy in Damon. Although it had become very weak with the passage of time and natural dissipation, he still vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to the energy on Rainbow Island.

"Eh? Do you really believe me?" Damon, who had run into countless obstacles over the years, was surprised that Firion trusted him. "No one has ever said this before... They all said that I captured Donja in Area Zero."

"This is normal. Hearing is not as good as seeing." Firio shrugged and answered as a matter of course. He pulled him to a secluded place where the crowd dispersed and said softly, "I have seen a similar situation in Guandu, but it did not travel through time and space. It happened in our own world and the degree was much milder than your Donjia."

"!"

Damon's eyes widened, and his already burning gaze became even more intense.

"If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Kanto Palin Town to ask Professor Oak for help. He must be very interested." Firio nodded and pointed to the gate that was already vaguely visible in the distance. "As for this time, a few of us have been allowed to conduct an investigation on the bottom floor. If you are interested, we also happen to need a guide who is familiar with the upper and middle levels of Area Zero. We can each take what we need."

"Can you...can you guys...go to the lower and ground floor?! I have no problem with that!"

Damon took a deep breath. He always wanted to look deeper but never got permission, so he was overjoyed and grabbed Philio's hand, fearing that he would go back on his word.

"……Eh?"

The guard named Hart was surprised and was about to say something to persuade them, but he saw Nemo with a calm face.

Most of the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately. Adhering to the principle of less trouble is better, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more. He just shrugged his shoulders, stood on tiptoe to look at the team that stopped in front and Aoki who walked to a higher place, and loudly called out to the researchers around him.

The gate is just around the corner.

......

......

"Dear researchers, after you descend to the upper level of Area Zero via the elevator at the gate, please stay with our team unless you have special permission. Do not look around or explore. This is very dangerous. Please cooperate with us."

In front of the densely packed crowd, Aoki's slightly hoarse voice came into everyone's ears through the microphone, but it could not curb the enthusiasm of these scholars who had not been able to conduct in-depth research in Area Zero for several months.

When faced with scientific research challenges, their enthusiasm is no less than that of Nimozhi and Dui Zhan.

Knowing that his words might not be of any use, Aoki shook his head silently, looked at the strong guards scattered everywhere, and waved to the staff at the gate.

He has fulfilled his obligations, and further matters are not something that an executor like him can decide.

"Rumble..."

Amid the roar of giant machinery, the long-sealed gate of Zone Zero slowly opened again, revealing a giant elevator leading directly to the foot of the mountain.

Following this almost only safe passage, everyone on the scene will be transported in batches to the new world in the Padia Pit.

Beneath the thick clouds that block all vision, there is a vast and unusual new world.

-----------------

The landform features of Area Zero are extremely unique in the world.

Looking down from the sky, the thick clouds completely obscure the vast pit, and even the most advanced equipment cannot penetrate it.

Therefore, it is impossible to see what is happening inside simply from the outside.

However, as the giant elevator descended, once it entered the bottom of the pit, which was the upper level of the fourth floor of Zone Zero, looking up, one could see a clear sky that was exactly the same as the outside world.

The bright sunshine stands out against the blue sky.

I lowered my head and looked around. The crowd heading to the observation point had already disappeared in front of me. Only the gurgling stream was flowing not far away.

It was a river formed by the water falling from a giant waterfall comparable to the Miyako Falls.

Looking around, there are sparse but green woods, lush grass, and a large number of wild Pokémon. They live a peaceful and tranquil life and do not seem to be affected by the periodic energy fluctuations.

All the Pokémon gathered near the water source as usual, enjoying themselves.

"The energy fluctuations here have a great impact on us humans and our technological products, but they have little effect on the wild Pokémon that have lived here for generations." Damon saw Firion's confusion and took the initiative to explain, "Perhaps they have adapted to it."

Firio nodded slightly and exchanged a glance with Caidou. The girl understood and immediately took out the detector she had brought specially from Kanto.

Super powers and detectors are used at the same time to explore the energy of this mysterious tiankeng.

"Drip drip..."

Intensive noises came from the sophisticated detector. On the screen, lines of data slid down from the top and connected into one.

Just as Professor Oak expected, after double verification from the data displayed by the detector and the intuitive perception of Firion's superpowers, they roughly determined that the energy here was indeed similar in nature to the energy that suddenly appeared on Rainbow Island.

But it is only highly similar, not completely identical. The energy magnitude is also obviously much weaker, and it is in the process of rapidly fading.

"This is the outermost and most marginal area of ​​Zone Zero. The impact of the energy fluctuations is already the weakest here, and it will recover quickly after it ends. In at most one day, this place will become an ordinary grassland without any abnormalities."

Damon pointed his finger in that direction, which was exactly the center of the giant pit, and the entrance to a deeper level was also there.

"If we want to find the source of energy, we must go inside. But we are only allowed to move around on the upper level. To go to the middle level, we must apply for a special permit and sign a waiver of liability. So I have never had the opportunity to go to the lower and bottom levels."

His tone was a little regretful. For a researcher who loves adventure, there is nothing more torturous than having a treasure trove in front of you but not being able to step in.

"I understand how you feel. Let's go and look forward."

Firion agreed, patted Damon on the back, and took the lead.

There was no special ceremony, nor any solemn investigation. The few people talked and laughed as they walked slowly on this beautiful grassland that gave them peace of mind.

The journey of exploration began uneventfully.

Then, not long after, an unexpected little episode appeared in front of everyone.

"boom--"

"Loto! Help! Loto!"

Under the bombardment of pink light beams, Mobile Rotom, who had just woken up, fled in a panic and ran towards Firion.

The real reason why this happened can be traced back to a few minutes ago.

......

......

After deciding on the direction, the four people had not taken a few steps away from the landing site. When Damon was introducing the interesting anecdotes of the upper level with a smile on his face, a chubby pink figure suddenly appeared at the end of their sight and staggered towards them.

Rotom, who had just woken up naturally from sleep, opened his eyes and saw the investigation target that Genieil had repeatedly warned him about before leaving.

Half out of excitement and half out of ignorance and fearlessness of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, he rushed forward, rubbing his sleepy eyes, without waiting for Nimo to give any orders.

"Crack, click, click"

"Howling Tail! It's Howling Tail, Lotor! So big and fat, Lotor!"

The flash lights went on, and there was a series of short and powerful photo-taking sounds, accompanied by exclamations of amazement.

Rotom, who had just entered Area 0 and had just woken up from a long nap, saw the ancient species of the paradoxical Pokémon, Howling Tail, as soon as he opened his eyes and proudly showed off to Neemo.

However, it was so proud of itself that it did not realize that although this pink, round little fat boy was almost as cute as Jigglypuff, it was, after all, an ancient species of Pokémon known for its violent temper.
