Chapter 1255

"Stellar... Zero Treasure..."

Briar really wanted to continue studying it, but the depths of the Area Zero Underdepths were also deeply attracting her.

She took a deep breath, "Let's proceed carefully and witness the truth with our own eyes!"

Everyone agreed and, under All Baimu's reminder, each released their Pokémon.

Bang bang bang.

A series of light sounds, Mabosstiff, Sylveon, Pawmot, and Sinistcha all appeared.

All Baimu sent out Miraidon, and the cyber giant lizard shook its head and tail, pressing its front paws down like a cat to stretch.

"Guao~"

It looked left and right, didn't find Koraidon, and immediately felt a bit strange.

All Baimu patted its head lightly, "Don't look, you two fight as soon as you meet, how could I put you together?"

"Agas..."

Miraidon nodded ignorantly.

All Baimu turned around and found that Briar didn't have any Pokémon by her side, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You are..."

"All my time has been spent on researching Terastallization."

Briar smiled.

She didn't have extra time to take care of Pokémon, so naturally, she wouldn't go to catch one.

And people like Briar in the Pokémon world couldn't be said to be particularly rare, but they were indeed not many.

Ash's mother, Delia, was one of them.

Before Mr. Mime appeared, there were no other Pokémon in Ash's house besides himself.

Fully prepared.

Carrying curiosity, excitement, and unease, the six of them walked slowly toward the depths of the narrow cave where countless crystals were shining.

The Rotom Phone kept recording mode and said softly, "The research diary says this hollow was formed 2 million years ago and left behind many residual traces.

"Until the hollow was formed, this place was filled with countless amounts of something... the Professor also discovered traces of repeated collapses; the conclusion he reached was erosion caused by crustal activity, rainwater, and groundwater."

Collapse?

Arven heard this and said hurriedly, "Doesn't that mean it's very dangerous here?"

"No, the terrain of the Underdepths is currently very stable; the reason seems to be some kind of large-scale collapse."

The Rotom Phone's answer made Arven and the others feel much more at ease.

The Area Zero Underdepths were located at an unknown depth of meters in Area Zero; if a collapse occurred here, heaven knows what their fate would be.

All Baimu didn't pay much attention to it; with a signal and Gengar, it was enough for them to hold out until Hoopa's rescue.

"All Baimu."

The Rotom Phone suddenly flew to his ear and whispered, "I also saw a note inside saying that Professor Turo underwent a transfer during the investigation process, going to a high mountain that he considered to be in the east."

Transfer?

Professor Turo had also traveled through time?

All Baimu asked, "What happened after that?"

The Rotom Phone flipped through the recorded materials: "It says above that he met a person near a pool on the top of the mountain, who gave him a notebook."

"What about the notebook?"

"No relevant content has been retrieved for the time being."

"Could this person be Briar's ancestor, Heath?"

All Baimu was somewhat suspicious.

There were too many mysteries in Area Zero, such as whether Paradox Pokémon had always existed; or if they all originated from the time machine, where did the Paradox Pokémon that Heath saw come from.

The Rotom Phone said expectantly, "Perhaps all the mysteries can be revealed through Terapagos!"

... Hard to say.

GF digging holes and not filling them was already a common occurrence.

Walking out of the narrow cave, the scene before their eyes suddenly opened up, and what came into view were steep cliffs and abysses that turned from bright to dark on both sides.

Looking around, the cliff walls were inlaid with brilliant crystal pillars.

"Is there no road?"

Nemona ran to the front, swaying left and right, but didn't find a tunnel leading deeper.

Briar walked up upon hearing the sound, "That shouldn't be; judging from Professor Turo's notes, he had entered the deepest part of the Zero Cave and had seen Terapagos with his own eyes!"

Carmine suggested, "Let the Pokémon dig one out!"

"Professor Turo's notes once said that this place had collapsed."

Peony said gloomily, "Even if that was 2 million years ago, it's very stable now. But it's hard to say if it's just because no one is active."

If that's the case, where can we go...

Everyone subconsciously looked at the bottomless abyss.

From here?

It feels like the danger level is no less than digging a hole!

Briar clapped her hands lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "Don't rush to conclusions; maybe there's a hidden entrance? Everyone look for hidden paths!"

"Don't spread out too much, divide into two groups, three people responsible for the left and three people responsible for the right, to facilitate mutual support."

All Baimu saw that she didn't continue, and quickly added, "Remember to keep in touch at all times."

If it weren't for the suspected main storyline of the game, he actually wouldn't want to come to the Area Zero Underdepths so early; what if Terapagos sent him away again?

But if it were the main storyline, there shouldn't be so many twists and turns in the side content... right?

Hopefully there aren't so many convoluted things.

The six people dispersed quickly; on the left were Briar, Carmine, and Nemona, and on the right were Peony, Arven, and him.

The Rotom Phone took the initiative to suggest, "How about I open a clone to explore the path below?"

"That works."

All Baimu nodded, white light flickered on the surface of the Rotom Phone, which then differentiated into a Porygon2, which then transformed into the appearance of a shuttle and flew away.

Arven behind him said in surprise, "Your phone still has this function?"

"Amazing, right."

He smiled, gave a thumbs up, and praised, "Rotom Phone, new technology beyond your imagination!"

Arven listened, stunned.

Why does it sound like an advertisement?

However, before Arven could respond, All Baimu had already turned around and started looking for the possible cave.

Unfortunately, he gained nothing.

The Rotom Phone did discover several cave entrances below, but they became too narrow to pass through not long after it drilled in.

All Baimu couldn't help but start thinking.

Could it be that Terapagos has to take people in actively—

"Everyone! Come over quickly!"

Carmine let out a cry of surprise, followed by a sharp buzzing sound from Nemona's side at the furthest end!

"Furo!!"

A dazzling, colorful flash came, like a spinning disco ball, and even the fluorescence emitted by the surrounding crystals was suppressed.

The Rotom Phone made a judgment at the first opportunity.

"Listening to the sound, it's Glimmora. Pokémon actually inhabit this place? Incredible."

"Miraidon!"

"Guao!"

Before All Baimu could sit steady, Miraidon roared forward across the bottomless abyss, as fast as a bolt of lightning.

He grabbed the handle on Miraidon's shoulder to prevent himself from flying out and shouted, "Nemona! What's the situation!"

"It's a Terastallized Glimmora... a Terastallization I've never seen before!"

Nemona responded quickly, her voice mixed with a bit of excitement.

Subsequently, the loud shouts and thumping sounds of Pawmot echoed in the wide cave, "Pabbu!"

Bang bang!

"Wait, Nemona—"

Briar's shout stopped abruptly, the bright colorful light began to flicker, and a few seconds later, the light in the entire cave dimmed suddenly.

Miraidon arrived a bit late.

What All Baimu saw was the scene of Glimmora slowly falling, and the long string of colorful crystals on its head shattering with a bang.

Plop~

A fragment the size of an index finger. Briar picked up the fragment and observed it carefully; it was flowing with light and color, and compared to ordinary Terastal fragments that had at most three or four colors, it looked like it was mixed with more than a dozen colors.

"Was that Stellar just now?"

The Rotom Phone said regretfully, "It was beaten too fast, didn't get a shot."

Nemona and Pawmot scratched their heads with a sheepish smile, "Hehehe, sorry about that~"

"Pabbu~"

The two's actions were exactly the same, like the awkward Ash and Pikachu.

Briar said, "Nemona, can I trouble you to help catch this Glimmora? I want to use it as research material."

"Ah? Okay, okay!"

Nemona took out a ball and took Glimmora away.

All Baimu suddenly remembered Carmine's call, walked over quickly, and saw Arven, Peony, and her all standing in front of a cave entrance.

"This is?"

There should have been crystal pillars here just now, right?

Carmine explained, "I saw a path inside it... when Glimmora was defeated, the crystal pillars here melted away."

"Melted?"

Briar half-squatted down and muttered, "Will Stellar-type Pokémon cause a chain reaction with the crystals here?"

The melted crystals seemed to have seeped into the ground, making it impossible for her to extract relevant samples.

Not staying too long, Briar collected some soil and announced that they would continue to move forward.

Soon they passed through the glittering tunnel and arrived at a large cave with an environment similar to the one just now.

On the edge was a narrow road, and in the center stood several huge crystals and rock platforms lying horizontally and vertically.

Based on the experience just now, the Rotom Phone found the cave leading deeper and the crystals blocking the road without much effort.

Briar said impatiently, "There must be Pokémon similar to Glimmora nearby, hurry up and look for them!"

Everyone dispersed, and this time it was Nemona who discovered the target again.

"Sandy Shocks!"

The Sandy Shocks, which looked like a Magneton, was shining brilliantly, and the colorful crown on its head was surrounded by attribute crystal blocks of various colors.

"Beep beep!"

It stood on a huge crystal, and when Nemona discovered it, this guy seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Hiss!!

Flashing lightning arrived through the air.

Pawmot jumped up, its Volt Absorb ability allowing it to easily and comfortably absorb the current.

Nemona didn't rush to order it to be finished off, but waited for her companions to approach before shouting, "Ice Punch!"

"Pabbu!"

Pawmot swung its small fist, which was surging with cold intent, and punched its eyes fiercely.

All Baimu watched this scene and said, "If a Pokémon is Stellar-type, what attribute would it be? Eighteen attributes?"

"This requires further research."

Briar was very excited; the Terastallization phenomenon had existed long before the invention of the Tera Orb, but Stellar was definitely the first time ever.

Even her ancestor's notes didn't contain relevant content, and just this point alone made her blood boil.

Unfortunately, the Stellar Sandy Shocks really wasn't strong; it only took one punch from Pawmot before its body started to sway.

After taking the second punch, it had already fallen backward.

When it took the third punch, the Stellar crystals shattered.

Bang!

Another fragment exploded out.

Briar said half-regretfully and half-jokingly, "Sometimes having a 'bodyguard' that's too strong is also quite annoying, hahaha."

"Uh, should I hit slower next time?"

Nemona was almost out of ideas.

Is it a problem to be strong?

Briar hurriedly said, "No need, no need! I'll do the specific research when I return to the academy; at this stage, it's more important to hurry!"

The crystals blocking the cave entrance had already melted.

Upon arriving at the third cave, there was no path outside, only rock platforms fused with crystals.

Miraidon became the main carrying tool, helping the five of them reach the opposite side.

All Baimu, with the help of the Rotom Phone, found the third Stellar Pokémon and quickly defeated it.

"How many levels do we have to break through..."

Arven really couldn't understand the situation in the Area Zero Underdepths.

Briar said, "It shouldn't be much further! The deeper we go, the higher the concentration of Terastal energy.

"We might not be able to feel it, but the data shows that the concentration of Terastal energy here is more than three hundred times that of the outside!"

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

More than three hundred times?

If it were the concentration of moisture in the air, I'm afraid it would drown people.

Walking quickly toward the depths, everyone passed another place and arrived at a place with spiral downward steps.

"It sounds like the sound of water."

Peony seemed to hear the sound of flowing water.

All Baimu looked down at the very bottom and indeed saw the gurgling water, "How deep are we exactly?"

"I guess we're tens of thousands of meters underground."

Arven gave his guess.

Arriving at the bottom all the way, the exit was very close, and behind them was a waterway leading to an unknown place.

Briar deliberated for a while, "Let's explore this side first; maybe there's something worth investigating."

"Agas!"

Miraidon changed into its aquatic form quickly, carrying everyone along the waterway.

Who would have thought that there would be an island in the middle of the lake in the open cave at the end of the waterway!

And on the island grew a crystal-clear giant tree, and the shining Garganacl stood peacefully under the tree.

"Why is there a tree here?"

"It seems to have been assimilated by the crystals!"

Several people spoke one after another, and Nemona was the first to land on the island to deal with the Stellar Garganacl.

All Baimu gazed at the giant tree, and a wonderful feeling arose in his heart.

He bypassed the fighting Pawmot and Garganacl, came under the tree, and looked up at the branches, "These... are Herba Mystica!"

"Herba Mystica?"

Arven stepped forward upon hearing the sound, saw the colorful appearance of the treetops, and said in surprise, "It really is! Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty!"

The Rotom Phone circled the giant tree and filmed, "This might be the mother plant of all Herba Mystica; should we cut a section to take back and plant, to see if it can survive?"

This proposal made All Baimu a little moved.

If possible, he naturally wouldn't want to frequently trouble the Titan Pokémon.

That would make the Titan Pokémon look too pitiful.

"There's no Terastallized soil in Orre... can it work?"

"Give it a try!"

"Okay!"

All Baimu was easily persuaded, and then the Rotom Phone began to transform and work.

He didn't need to act; the Rotom Phone, which had loaded the gardener program, would act on its own; it even dug away a lot of soil, all of which was stuffed into Gengar's belly.

"Gengar..."

Gengar touched its stomach.

It really lacked nothing now; there was everything in its stomach.

Briar watched this scene and said, "Blueberry Academy also has branches of Herba Mystica, but they grow extremely slowly; I think it's because the concentration of Terastal energy is not high enough..."

She hinted to All Baimu that just transplanting them was useless; they needed excellent soil.

All Baimu naturally knew this and prepared to ask Briar if she could share the ecological core technology after leaving Area Zero this time.

If not... then we'll talk about it!
