Chapter 277

Xiang Guangtai quickly repaired those mechanical devices. Like Professor Fennel at the time, Dr. Parker looked at those devices being repaired in an incredible form and running again, and his mouth was wide open in shock, which looked even more comical with his broken glasses.

The Rotom drilled into the nearby machines and used their power to make them run again. The machines in the Poké Transfer Lab made a humming sound, suddenly filling this cold place of steel with abnormal "vitality"!

Dr. Parker was quite pleasantly surprised: "The sound of the machine running! It's restored! You actually repaired these hardware in such a short time! It's incredible! Although I don't know the principle at all, you are indeed a professional mechanic."

Xiang Guangtai complained in his heart.

No, a professional mechanic wouldn't repair it like this. It is precisely because I am "green-skin" technology, a non-professional mechanic, that I can repair it like this.

Anyway, don't worry about how it started running, just say whether it's repaired or not.

And while talking to Dr. Parker, Xiang Guangtai also obtained more new knowledge.

【Acquired: Transfer Program Knowledge!】

【Description: This is the knowledge used to manufacture special transfer machines, transmitting energy particles... crossing two points of molecules... matching the frequency of distant Pokémon... matching radioactive alpha rays... with the dreamlike...】

【You learned special transfer program writing, you obtained a lot of knowledge about programming, and obtained the ability "Special Senior Programmer"!】

【Craftable Item: Time Capsule (this is a type of transfer machine).】

Hmm... Programmer, this is knowledge that can make people bald.

However, this knowledge also came with a special thing, which made Xiang Guangtai slightly stunned.

【Extra: Machine connecting the future and the past.】

【Description: Go to Opelucid City to obtain.】

Machine connecting the past and the future?

Time machine?!

How could this kind of thing appear here?

The Poké Transfer Lab is indeed not a simple place!

At this time, the Rotom also ran out of the machines. First was the "Happy Ghost," but the "Naughty Ghost" and the "Sassy Ghost" didn't want to come out of the machines, but Xiang Guangtai scared them with the Strange Ball, which made these two Rotom fly out very unhappily!

Cut! There is a time limit for pranks!

I was staying in the machine quite well, why did you pull me out, tell me!

Not happy!

"Eh, I haven't seen this Poké Ball of yours!"

Dr. Parker pushed his broken glasses and examined the Strange Ball: "This, what is this made of?"

"Ancient technology." Xiang Guangtai blurted out.

Anyway, it's not a lie.

"By the way, Doctor, I want to borrow the transfer device here to send this kind of Poké Ball to the Juniper Research Lab."

Dr. Parker: "Eh?! Transfer an ancient Poké Ball? Then you must use this machine."

"It seems you have a reason for coming here. That's right, another major feature of the century-long transfer machine is that it can ignore the type of Poké Ball for transfer, as long as the Poké Ball is registered... It's my first time transferring a Poké Ball made by ancient technology!"

"I heard there are similar ancient Poké Balls in other regions."

Soon, Xiang Guangtai connected with Professor Juniper, and Professor Juniper didn't seem to have slept well, but her eyes were shining with excitement.

"You... how many days haven't you slept?" Xiang Guangtai couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? Two days... three days? Seems... it is?" Professor Juniper counted with her fingers, and her whole person seemed to be broken: "I am researching Volcarona... It's too beautiful... So much data I haven't seen before..."

Xiang Guangtai held his forehead, and then told her about the Wonderful Bridge and Rotom.

"You captured a Pokémon you've never seen before?! Spirit Realm, Pokémon from the soul world! My god, my research topics are going to increase again!"

"Ah! At the Poké Transfer Lab? Looks like an accident happened... Dr. Parker? Hello!"

Professor Juniper seemed to know Dr. Parker, and the latter briefly explained the accident that happened at the Poké Transfer Lab to Juniper.

"The century-long experiment failed again, but the future is promising."

"Yes, yes."

The two doctors chatted for a while, and suddenly laughed foolishly "hehehe".

Xiang Guangtai: "..." "Let's try transferring first."

Professor Juniper woke up suddenly:

"Right, right! Send those two special Pokémon over! Although I'm very tired, I really want to see them!"

Xiang Guangtai: "Be careful, these two guys especially like to mess around in electrical appliances, and they come from the Spirit Realm. Although they helped me a lot this time, that was just out of pranking and playing."

"I named them Naughty Ghost and Sassy Ghost. The one with me is Happy Ghost. It seems to get along with me better. These two don't like me very much because I always don't let them pull pranks."

"My special ball can block the Spirit Realm power on them, and this transfer is also a test."

Dr. Parker: "Right! Transferring a Poké Ball of ancient technology is also precious experimental data for me!"

While Professor Juniper was waiting curiously, the Strange Ball started to be transferred. Accompanied by the disappearance of strong white light, the Strange Ball was successfully transferred to the Juniper Research Lab!

It can be transferred! Xiang Guangtai's eyes lit up. Dr. Parker also let out a surprised shout.

Professor Juniper swayed and held the Strange Ball:

"Ah! I received it! Come out, Naughty Rotom—"

"Hee hee hee hee~!"

The first Naughty Rotom started to act up as soon as it came out of the Strange Ball!

Discharge!

"Come back quickly!"

The Strange Ball shook, and the Naughty Rotom was immediately recalled. Professor Juniper looked at the boxes that were zapped over with lingering fear. When Xiang Guangtai was about to transfer the second one, Professor Juniper obviously became very nervous.

"Could it be that the natures of these Pokémon are all like this?"

Xiang Guangtai: "Oh, because it's Naughty Ghost, it's especially naughty, so it might be hard to get along with. The second one is Sassy, this one should be easier to get along with."

Sure enough, Professor Juniper was made quite exhausted by Rotom.

Xiang Guangtai only kept one, which was the one with the Jolly nature that was closer to him before!

I heard Elesa say that Nimbasa City also had power outages before... Maybe there are Rotom hidden in Nimbasa City too.

Xiang Guangtai persuaded: "Doctor, you should rest quickly. I'm really afraid you'll faint in your current state."

Professor Juniper: "Ah... thank you for your concern, I will rest, but there are too many research topics..."

As she spoke, she fell back into that foolishly happy state. For a young lady, this unkempt appearance truly seemed a bit comical.

"Then I'm going to sleep... Ha ah~ Goodbye, goodbye~ Let's talk next time~"

Watching Professor Juniper sway and hang up the phone, even Dr. Parker couldn't help but sigh:

"To have put so much effort into researching Pokémon, it's truly exhausting! Miss Juniper! Alright, I must also continue to develop the century-long transfer machine, I must not lose to these Pokémon researchers!"

Watching Dr. Parker who suddenly burned up, Xiang Guangtai was a bit speechless.

Wanting to compete is a good thing, but your work content doesn't overlap!

When Xiang Guangtai and Rotom, as well as Dr. Parker, came outside the lab, they found that most of the Rangers had left, and a Ranger Xiang Guangtai hadn't seen appeared here.

"Ah! They're out!"

Sherry pointed at Xiang Guangtai who came out of the lab. The maintenance took quite a long time. She hadn't left because she was waiting for an important person here.

"I know who you are! You are the person who helped Lord Altano before, right!"

"You were also the one who caused the natural disturbance in Lostlorn Forest, a rare psychic who can communicate with Pokémon!"

The muscular Ranger on the side wearing a cowboy hat, who was tall and very strong, suddenly laughed:

"That's right, and he is also a genius artist in Unova. Recently, there have been exhibitions of his art works in Mistralton City and Nimbasa City!"

The tall Ranger wearing a cowboy hat had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Hello, Lord Xiang Guangtai! Thanks to your help, the Pokémon disturbance event at the Poké Transfer Lab has been successfully resolved!"

"I heard about you from Altano! You can call Pokémon to help you, and you can also activate special blue crystals..."

"Sherry told me what happened before. Is this power the ability of a psychic? You can actually communicate with Pokémon heart-to-heart without a Capture Styler? Altano said you are very suitable to be a Ranger, and sure enough!"

He looked Xiang Guangtai up and down.

Xiang Guangtai also responded politely: "Just some special abilities, which happened to come in handy."

The tall Ranger was a bit surprised, and then laughed heartily:

"No need to be humble! In short, thank you!"

"Let me introduce myself!"

The Ranger wearing a cowboy hat raised his thumb and pointed at himself:

"I am Sven! My partners are Luxray and Staraptor! I am one of the Top Rangers in the Almia region!"

The person in front of him raised the brim of his hat, and that slightly familiar overall image was reflected in Xiang Guangtai's eyes, and the long-lost, blurry memory was also becoming clear.

Xiang Guangtai remembered who the person in front of him was.

That iconic cowboy hat and strong muscles, the top Ranger who reached "ten thousand captures" in legend, also appeared many times in the Ranger game process to help the protagonist.

Mainly because his name is particularly recognizable. The English is Sven, which comes from seven!

However, this guy doesn't suddenly take out glasses and perform a transformation... But he is still an amazing human who loves life!

"Originally, I wasn't responsible for the Unova side, but because of some things Altano had before, the Alliance asked me to come over and help a little."

Sven laughed, then looked at Xiang Guangtai who was a bit confused, and his expression became serious:

"Some things I heard from Altano made me very concerned. I came here this time specifically to find you."

"The Ranger Union asked me to convey an invitation to you. They are very grateful for your help, and at the same time, they learned about your abilities and felt you were very amazing... Simply put, it is to issue an invitation to you on behalf of Professor Hastings, which is the invitation to serve as an Assistant Ranger!"

After the Lostlorn Forest incident, Altano seemed to have said some things to the Ranger Union, which made the high-level officials there make the judgment to invite him.

"There are Rangers in many regions of the world."

"Some are local protected area managers cultivated by their respective alliances, some are wandering inspectors, some are regional managers, and some are Pokémon doctors."

"Although not bound by the Ranger Union, theoretically speaking, they all belong to 'Assistant Rangers' outside the Ranger Union."

"As you can see, many Rangers in the Unova region are actually trainers. They have their own Pokémon teams, and only obey the summons of the Ranger Union when encountering major events, but the probability of such things is very low."

"You don't need to accept missions in the Ranger Union, just occasionally receive requests for help from Rangers. With the status of a Ranger, traveling around the world will be more convenient, and most importantly, you don't need to buy tickets to enter wild protected areas!"

Sven snapped his fingers, which made Sherry on the side a bit speechless.

Although this new Top Ranger is particularly famous, his personality is really a bit strange!

Xiang Guangtai could understand.

Sherry had already explained it to him before.

A Ranger, right? It just so happens that I have knowledge that requires the Ranger profession...

And since it's not mandatory to accept missions and commissions, this can actually be seen as a recruitment by the Ranger Union!

Besides, the summons of the Ranger Union almost never happen.

In the Almia major event, only four of the twelve Top Rangers came, two of whom were the protagonist and the rival. Should I say it's too free...

It's hard to imagine what kind of event could summon all twelve Top Rangers.

"Sounds quite interesting."

"Alright, I accept."

【Acquired Profession: Pokémon Ranger!】

【Description: Go to the Ranger Union to obtain professional knowledge about the Ranger profession!】

The Ranger series is also a very interesting side work. Ash and the others even met Ranger protagonists like Hinata and Hajime in the anime. They also appeared in the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions. Looking at it this way, professional Rangers are really quite busy.

In the theatrical version "Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea," Jack Walker, known as Jack, also had to disguise himself as a grunt of the villain to go deep into the enemy camp. His professional quality can be said to be full!

One Sven, one Jack, it's truly a gathering of light warriors!

"Oh oh! You actually agreed directly!"

"It's truly smooth. I originally wanted to explain the scope of work of a Ranger to you properly! And the Capture Styler... Assistant Rangers don't have one."

"Because although Assistant Rangers are responsible to the local alliance and don't have to accept missions in the Ranger Union, their daily life is also very free..."

"But don't worry, Assistant Rangers also get paid, haha, although most Rangers don't care about this."

Sven was a bit annoyed, but he still looked very happy, and Xiang Guangtai asked a question by the way:

"Do you know Jack Walker?"

Sven: "Jack! So you know Jack? He is a typical non-professional Ranger background, but now he is a real Ranger, and his Ranger level is quite high. His hometown is the Kanto region. Where should he be performing missions now?"

"No, I've just heard of this Ranger." Xiang Guangtai answered casually, ending the topic: "Then, you should have other things to find me for."

"Is it for the blue crystal?"

Sven's expression gradually became serious. He didn't speak, but took out a pendant from his bosom.

It was a yellow crystal pendant.

"That's right."

"I learned about the legend of Almia from Altano, and I like to participate in the investigation and exploration of various ruins the most."

"At the same time, the Ranger Union is also very interested in this, and when I learned that this kind of blue crystal pendant actually possesses unique power, I soon thought that I also had the same pendant."

"For me, this was just a souvenir bought in the desert, however... Now it seems this is not an ordinary thing!"

"You said that there are three princes, right?"

Sven held the yellow pendant forward, and Xiang Guangtai held the blue pendant.

In an instant, the blue pendant radiated a faint light, and this light seemed to have activated the yellow crystal opposite. In Sven's hand, the yellow crystal pendant started to flicker, seemingly responding to the call of the blue crystal.

"Incredible!" Sven rubbed his chin.

"I've bought so many pendants, it's the first time I've seen... The ancient ruins of the Almia desert are worth investigating!"

"Alright... since this thing really possesses power... then I'll give it to you!"

Sven suddenly snapped his fingers: "I just wanted to see if this crystal pendant really has power!"

"For you, you should be able to maximize the power of this pendant! Just like what Altano said!"

And the moment Xiang Guangtai obtained the yellow crystal pendant, a huge energy vortex suddenly surged from the yellow crystal!

An illusion of an ancient giant gradually emerged in Xiang Guangtai's eyes!
