This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 303 Paradox is the mystery of time

"Damon, you are right. The deeper you go, the clearer the energy fluctuations become."

Comparing the values ​​on the instrument, Filio sighed as he walked. His superpower instinctively spread to the distance, capturing the special energy that was still thin but vaguely detectable.

Starting from the waterfall, walking along the direction of the river is the ramp leading to the middle level of Area Zero. After walking down, you can see a huge lake formed by the falling water of the waterfall, forming a circulation of water.

It would be quite beautiful if viewed from top to bottom, but it is a pity that the different levels are also covered by an invisible fog like the top of a huge pit, blocking the view.

And such a layer separation, although it is also a grassland area, there is a huge difference between the middle layer and the upper layer.

The strange energy seems to have condensed into a hazy mist, which seems to be there but is always looming, without any color or entity, but like a light veil.

Caidou looked around curiously and asked Damon: "Mr. Damon, the number of Pokémon here seems to be much less?"

"Yes, according to the data from more than ten years ago when it was not closed, it was probably less than one-tenth of the upper level, and it may be even less now." Damon nodded and recounted the past investigation results like a treasure trove, "But Don’t be careless, the Pokémon here are stronger and more territorial than those above.”

A lesson learned. Having had the experience of being chased here, Damon seemed very cautious.

"Dots!"

Majestic Ya also nodded repeatedly. The painful lesson of being chased and beaten by Iron Thorns last time made it still fresh in its mind as it was not good at fighting.

The ferocious big teeth were swinging up and down, but they were not scary at all. On the contrary, they looked cute and naive, just like the smile of the Ankylosaurus. It was particularly cute and made Nimo laugh. She stroked the single-headed dragon with one hand and patted the majestic teeth with the other hand. , almost too busy.

But having said that, Damon and Majestic Fang's mouths seemed to be opened. They didn't go far, and they didn't encounter any fierce Pokémon, but they did see a real living treasure.
-
Different from the dry lower and bottom layers, the main body of the middle space in Zone Zero is a green grassland. Although it does not have as diverse and complex ecosystems as the upper layers due to limitations of light and other conditions, it is still equally vibrant.

This is especially true around lakes and rivers.

The fast-running Motorized Lizard walked through the sunshine. Not long after, he found the important target of the "side mission" by the river, a paradoxical Pokémon that had not yet been examined in detail.

It looks like a small dinosaur from the back, and a big mushroom from the front. From top to bottom, it's a pokeball with thorns. The one squatting by the river and drinking water is the ancient paradoxical Pokémon, Mushroom. .

As recorded in "The Book of Zhu", this Pokémon's appearance is not very friendly. At first glance, it is somewhat similar to the Dew Ball Mushroom, but if you look closely, you can see that it is somewhat sinister. It is paired with a Dew Ball that is several times larger. The huge size of the mushroom makes it even more scary.

However, the ferocious appearance does not bring much deterrence.

Because... this Pokémon doesn't seem very smart.

"Moreau?"

Hearing the sound of Rotom taking pictures on his cell phone, Meng Wu Mushroom, who was concentrating on drinking water, raised his head, a dazed look of confusion flashed across his face that was obscured by drooping leaves.

This is the first time it has seen humans and Pokémon like Rotom. It seems that Biker has seen it a few times, but it has long been forgotten.

After seeing these "magical beings", it couldn't turn its head around and was stunned for a while. The water it held in the small shield shaped like a fairy ball spilled to the ground without bothering to continue drinking.

Rather than being scary and frightening, it seems more honest and simple.

"What a strange fellow, Lotto!"

Cellphone Rotom, who had been preparing to escape from the very beginning, was also surprised and moved closer unconsciously.

"Morrow!!!"

It was at this time that Meng Mushroom's slow brain finally completed its initial thoughts.

It decided to follow its instincts.

【attack! 】

The manic genes of ancient life drove the heavy body, charging forward like a hill.

"Coming, run, Lotto!"

Although he is not fast, not very strong, and can even be said to be very stupid, the timid mobile phone Rotom immediately greased the soles of his feet and "swish" got back behind Filio, but he was very unworthy. In a sign of addiction, he exposed half of his head and turned on the movie-watching mode with great interest.

"bang"

"I haven't seen you so energetic when I was working. All your energy was spent on running away and watching the fun."

Slapping this useless guy in disgust, Filio shook his head, made eye contact with Caidou, made a hidden gesture, and strode forward. The Poké Ball flashed from his waist and appeared in his palm.

"Eight Claw Martial Master, I leave it to you! Rush over and use the octopus!"

The two of them, who had a perfect tacit understanding, attacked separately, with Caidou taking the lead. The elf ball shot out of the air, and it was a merciless killing move.

Although the fierce evil mushroom looks a bit stupid, its strength is close to that of a king, but it cannot be ignored.

Even though his steps were slow, his momentum was still extraordinary, like a big iron ball covered with spikes rolling forward.

Every move he made was full of tyrannical power.

The experience accumulated in countless battles turned into the body's instinct. A blazing white light lit up from the body, and he came forward without showing any weakness.

Entering the state of fighting, its brain gradually came to life, and its eyes were filled with light.

A battle of strong men like Mars hitting the earth is about to begin.

"bang"

"Mo... Luo...?"

Feeling the severe pain coming from the back of his head, Meng Gugu turned his head in confusion as he was planning on having a big fight, but before he could finish the action, he fell to the ground, full of doubts.

Before the head-on duel had even begun, a sneak attack that wasn't very concealed was launched from behind it.

"Lanka!"

The blue of the waveguide and the white of energy intertwined on the sharp dragon claws, then quickly converged and dissipated.

After completing the final blow, the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus stood firmly behind the fallen Mushroom.

With a stern look on its face, it assumed the handsome pose that Emperor Nabo had suggested several times, and even forgot to check the status of the evil mushroom.

While being cool, the long tail behind him swung unconsciously, slightly ruining the overall beauty.

With the nature of a child, it is still waiting for Philio's praise.

However, after waiting for a while, it found that its trainer did not want to come forward to understand what it meant. Instead, he sat down in front of the fierce evil mushroom and patted its fleshy top.

"Stop pretending. The Ankylosaurus can't see it. Do you think I can't see it either? I'm pretty good at pretending to be dead. Emperor Nabo, give it a wake-up call."

Under the double protection of Little Dream Demon and Emperor Nabo, Philio seemed confident and his words were more relaxed and playful.

While he was speaking, the mighty King of Heaven locked the fallen Mushroom tightly, and bits of cold sweat immediately broke out from its body.

"Enpei!"

Emperor Nabo, who had been waiting for a long time, responded immediately, raising his wings high, and the metallic light brought a cold murderous intent.

"Momomomoro!"

Seeing that the plan failed, the fierce evil mushroom, which had been motionless just now, immediately stood up as if there were springs under its body.

A pair of small hands moved continuously, and his face was full of anxiety, nervousness, and innocence.

This guy who looks stupid actually seems to be more knowledgeable when it comes to fighting.

Seeing that he was attacked by a sneak attack and his opponent was obviously stronger than him, he immediately changed his mind and chose to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead.

It's a pity that such a little trick is of no use in front of Philio. A little scare will reveal its flaws.

"...Lanka?"

The staff-tailed armored dragon looked at his sharp claws, thinking about the powerful blow he had just made, and silently doubted his dragon life.

Logically speaking... shouldn't it?
"Morrow! Morrow!!!"

The fierce evil mushroom who was scared to death couldn't care about what the big man behind him thought and kept begging for mercy.

Just the one claw hit it just now made stars appear in its eyes, and now the world in front of it is still spinning.

Looking at each one in front of him, they are more terrifying than the ferocious guy behind him. The fierce evil mushroom, full of desire for survival, has no idea of ​​being beaten again.

It even took the initiative to lower its head, revealing the swollen bump on its top lid that had been smashed by a stick-tailed ankylosaurus. It was so honest that no one could find any fault with it.

"Okay, Philio, don't scare it. This big guy is more interesting than the previous one."

The amused Nemo stepped forward carelessly, waved her little hand lightly, and slapped the evil mushroom on the head.

"Don't be afraid. I'll protect you. As long as you cooperate with our physical examination, I won't beat you and I'll give you delicious food. How about that?"

Nemo, who temporarily put on the "big sister head skin", showed her eight teeth in a smile and gave her thumbs up.

"Morro? Moro! Moro Moro!"

Although he didn't quite understand what "physical examination" was, Mengwugu's not very sensitive ears instantly caught the word "delicious".

Knowing that not only would he not be beaten, but he would also be doing something good, he immediately turned his sadness into joy and showed a big silly smile. His fleshy face was all squeezed into a ball, and he was not at all as ferocious as when he first saw him.

The tense atmosphere just now turned into a peaceful atmosphere. Even Rotom, who was watching the fun, released his safety blast and flew staggeringly in front of the evil mushroom.

Everyone is very happy, except the staff tail scale armored dragon.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, his handsome little face wrinkled, the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus felt a little heavy.

Not only was the handsome posture suggested by the emperor Napoleon not welcomed by the audience, Philio also did not praise his growth.

Although there is some factor in this aspect, it is not important.

What really made it realize something was the silly smile of the evil mushroom.

Listening to the teasing of a few people, it, which was no longer completely a child, suddenly understood that the way it looked when smiling was probably the same in everyone's eyes.

At a young age, he had some idol baggage. He suddenly felt that he had unknowingly created a lot of black history in the past. He was furious and had black lines all over his face.

"bang"

"Lanka!"

A heavy slap was slapped on the grass, causing grass clippings and soil to fly, but it could not calm the shame and anger in the little guy's heart.

Some growth is heavy after all (referring to shame).

Especially for noble and proud warriors.

A small accident made it take a crucial step in the life of a dragon (although it may not be really important).

"Morro! Moro!"

After talking, gesticulating, and dancing for a while, the fierce evil mushroom wanted to explain clearly the things he found and ate in the ditch when he was a child. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't tell the truth.

Fortunately, Rotom, the universal translator mobile phone, always comes forward at this time. Under its translation, although I can't fully understand what the other party means, I can at least understand the general idea.

This ferocious evil mushroom doesn't even know where it came from. Ever since it was a child, it has followed the principle of eating wherever it goes.

The good body he was born with gave it great strength, preventing it from dying early.

From soil to grass to anything else, as long as there is a little nutrition, it can satisfy the appetite and make it thrive.

So, heartlessly, it ate and went to the outside world.

Such a simple life story, coupled with its excited body language, left several people speechless for a while, and even wondered whether there was something wrong with the translation of Rotom on the mobile phone.

After getting its indignant reply, Philio could only believe that this silly guy might indeed think that such a mushroom was magnificent enough, so he waved his hand and decided to let it go.

After all, bullying a fool is not a very honorable thing.

"Moro~!"

After a not very complicated physical examination and vital sign scan, it was found that the evil mushroom sitting on the ground had no pain or itching, and he didn't even feel anything.When it opened its eyes, there was only a lot of elf food on the ground, and Philio and the others had quietly walked away, and their backs could hardly be seen clearly.

The tip of his nose twitched hard, and when he smelled the fragrance, the evil mushroom didn't care about anything else. He grabbed a large handful and stuffed it into his mouth, then jumped up and waved vigorously in the direction of several people.

It wasn't until he finished eating the food on the ground and watched Filio and the others disappear into the distance, and even turned around and walked a long way towards his lair, that he suddenly remembered his purpose when he first went out.

Drink water.

Before he finished drinking the water, he was beaten for no reason.

And...the elf food I just ate is a bit dry.

Staring blankly at the nest that was already close at hand, the evil mushroom was silent for a long time, turned around silently, and walked towards the river again.

The giant mushroom, which is neither fierce nor evil, can be regarded as a strange flower among the paradox species.
-
After bidding farewell to the Fierce Evil Mushroom, along the way, while everyone was obsessed with this guy's character, only the Staff-Tail Scale Armored Dragon who followed silently aside was still unhappy.

The elf ball didn't look back, and just followed it dejectedly.

For the first time, he understood what "silliness" meant and felt that the world in front of him had turned into black and white.

"What's going on?" Seeing the melancholy of the little Hanhan, Filio walked up to him with a smile and reached out to touch his head. "Isn't it quite handsome today? Although I forgot to finish the last hit."

"Lanka..."

Shaking his head hard and throwing away Philio's hand, the Staff-Tail Scale Ankylosaurus was a little unhappy.

"Oh, I understand!" Filio said with a fist, "Do you think we regard you as the same as that idiot Mushroom?"

"Lanka!"

The little dinosaur nodded subconsciously at first, then shook his head like a rattle, and with a bit of embarrassment, he glared at Philio fiercely.

"I have to criticize you a few words."

Philio was serious, but he held his hand around the staff tail scale armored dragon in a very dishonest manner, and put his arm around his shoulders.

"Lanka?"

"How can you underestimate yourself so much? Look at that fierce evil mushroom, it looks stupid. How can it compare with you?"

"Lanka!"

"Look at how handsome you are, especially those scales and long tail. Who wouldn't like it?"

"Lanka~!"

"Not to mention the power of the waveguide. It's even more powerful when it's fully activated, right?"

"Ran~ka~!"

In a few words, the worries of the staff-tailed armored dragon were swept away. He flicked his long and slender tail, and after being coaxed into a daze, he showed his iconic silly smile again.

The angular face once again has a bit of a comedian look to it. It is indeed a bit silly and has a childish temper.

"puff"

Nimo and Caidou, who had been hiding quietly and listening to the whole conversation, couldn't help laughing, covering their mouths and laughing secretly.

Philio's ability to coax the children surprised them beyond expectations.

The outspoken Nemo was about to step forward and tease her with a wink, but when her words came to her lips, she was blocked by a loud bang.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Just as Philio coaxed the Ankylosaurus into a happy mood, there was a muffled sound like a crane coming from the front.

From far to near, two iron thorns came together.

"Drip drip..."

Stopping in the open space quite far away from the four people, cyan light gradually lit up from the abdomen of the two behemoths, flickering on and off.

The steel behemoth, which looks similar to Bankelas but is full of technological qualities, does not seem to be as ferocious as the ancient Pokémon encountered previously, but is more rational and calm.

Even after seeing the Rotom mobile phone approaching slowly, they did not take the initiative to attack, but just observed quietly, as if they were trying to identify something.

"They don't seem to be the iron thorns that chased me back then. They are bigger, and... they have an indescribable feeling."

Damon observed from a distance and said vaguely.

"That's easy, Filio, can you leave these two big guys to me this time? I didn't compete with you two for the last one, it's my turn! Kentero, let's go! "

Nemo waved her hand, her fighting spirit high. She loved fighting against such a powerful and large opponent.

As she spoke, the excited girl was about to move forward.

However, a big hand stood in front of her, blocking the way.

"?"

"I have an idea. Give it a try. If it doesn't work, go ahead and fight."

Under Nemo's confused gaze, Filio suddenly thought of something while he was pondering, and threw the elf ball with a smile on his lips.

"Dream Demon, use the charging beam to increase the power, but don't hurt them. Cooperate with me!"

"Machi~!"

After hearing Filio's instructions, the clever little dream demon immediately understood and jumped into the air with a smile. His whole body lit up with shining golden light, and with great force, he shot towards the vigilant iron thorns.

At the same time, a tide of superpowers was released from Filio, gradually turning into lush green in the air, containing vitality, and merged into the charging beam, injecting a steady stream of vitality.

The special ability of [Simulation] takes effect again.

The iron thorns in the distance didn't know why, but subconsciously raised their arms to protect themselves in front of themselves to welcome the sudden impact of the beam.

"Shh-"

There was no collision or explosion. Waves of golden light swept over the two Pokémon and dissipated without a trace.

In a daze, the whole bodies of these two giant steel beasts seemed to be a little brighter.

The body armor made of an unknown alloy shines brightly in the sun.

"Banji!!!!!"

In the roar of refreshment, they were extremely excited to experience such enjoyment for the first time.

The huge eyes flashed with joy. Although there were only two of them, they ran with overwhelming momentum and rushed towards the dream demon with long strides.

A turquoise glow lit up from in front of him, dazzling, but not hostile at all. Instead, there was a hint of... longing.

While Nemo and Damon were speechless, the metal version of the desert tyrant stood obediently in front of the dream demon, obediently lowering his huge head.

"Ban Ji!"

The bigger one even smiled ingratiatingly.

The two of them want the dream monster to come again.

Since leaving their original world, these two big guys have never had such delicious energy again.

The greedy insects were aroused. If they had not lost the ability to secrete saliva, there would be one, no, two crystal waterfalls hanging from their mouths.

"Machi~"

The little dream demon was so proud that he flicked his hair, turned into a dexterous little hand, and pointed at Filio beside him.

"Banji! Banji!"

The brain composed of a supercomputer was running rapidly. Iron Thorns immediately understood the dream demon's intention and looked at Filio with a smile.

The ferocious big face showed a bit of kindness.

"Lan...Lanka?"

The staff-tailed armored dragon blinked its big eyes. It didn't understand, but it was greatly shocked.

"It's not impossible to do it again, but such a skill will consume a lot of money for us. I hope you can cooperate with me to conduct a physical examination. How about it?"

Just by looking at the other party's expression, Philio knew that his little plan had achieved an unexpected success. He immediately rolled his eyes and raised the price.

"Ban? Banji?"

"Ban Ji!"

Maybe Pokémon itself is very simple, or maybe the enjoyment of charging beams and the power of Viridian is too attractive. The two big guys looked at each other and agreed.

Without even the slightest hesitation, he sat down on the ground and let Filio and Rotom do whatever they wanted.

Without any effort, three of the fourteen paradoxical Pokémon surveys commissioned by Dr. Oak were completed.

It went smoothly beyond imagination, even easier every time.

Philio and Dream Demon looked at each other, and they saw the same message in each other's eyes.

The ability of this "Pokémon Friend from the Future" is undoubtedly impressive!
"Banji!——"

After completing a full set of physical examinations, Filio kept his promise and used a full-power charging beam massage to make Iron Thorn roar in comfort.

The deafening sound can be heard clearly even from several kilometers away.

He looked at Filio and the Dream Demon with unfinished thoughts. They wanted to do it again, but Filio was obviously ready to call it a day.

Eye contact was fruitless, and the two iron thorns could only reluctantly move in the original direction and continue their daily walk.

Staggering and heavy-footed, it was like a mountain moving forward, but it did not cause the surrounding Pokémon to panic and flee.

As they themselves said, after living an ordinary life for who knows how many years, they have completely adapted to this place and become part of the ecology of Zone Zero.

"These big guys are easy to talk to. It seems that the future species are more honest than the ancient species? Those legends told by Teacher Genia must be lies!"

Looking at the footsteps of the iron thorns disappearing, Nimo was in a good mood even though she was not able to fight a battle. She suddenly remembered the more and more evil legends that had been spread among the people since the Purple Book became a bestseller.

"I also think that the legendary record is not quite correct. One billion years is really too long. Maybe it was the explorer's own exaggeration. Adventure stories are normal."

Philio deeply agreed with Nemo's sentiments, but he also had his own thoughts and thoughts.

Comparing the original records with the information recorded in the new illustrated book, he gently scratched his dusty chin and said slowly: "Speaking of which, I am also quite interested in these future Pokémon. Yes, they are different from pure metallic beings like Magnemites. They have a sense of mechanical technology, but they are not completely like that. They are very special existences, and they are completely opposite to the ancient species."

"Yes, it's hard for me to imagine that they will correspond to the ancient times and the future of our world."

Caidou nodded and agreed.

"That's why they are called Paranormal Species, because they are too unreasonable." Damon gently touched his majestic teeth, recalling the magical experience of his childhood, "Time is flowing through these Pokémon. The speed seems to be many, many times faster than our world, just like... sitting in a time machine or a wishing machine every moment."

Philio smiled: "It's as mysterious as the clouds and mist covering the giant crater of Padia. It's like the mystery of time. No one knows whether it is the creation of history or the interest of the gods, right?"

"Exquisite metaphor." Damon smiled and nodded, applauding, "We are trying to solve this mystery now. Maybe we can really gain something. Even if not, people in the future will make good progress based on our foundation. Further, this is science.”

"It makes sense. Let's go, we have to keep walking further. I remember there is a good campsite on the map. I hope it can still be used after so many years."

Taking the lead and sitting on the back of the Motorized Lizard, Philio pointed forward with high spirits and ran towards the distance under the sun.

Paradox is the mystery of time, and exploration is the only way to solve it.

When all the hustle and bustle calmed down, a small and exquisite head emerged from the ground, letting out a silvery bell-like laughter, then quickly disappeared, and followed forward like flying without causing any ripples.
