Chapter 1101

Dinner was eaten at the Community Center.

On one side were the people from Blueberry Academy, and on the other were the people from Naranja Academy.

Everyone was sharing how many stamps they had collected and how many powerful opponents they had defeated.

Among them, Nemona, who had over twenty stamps, received admiring gazes from many.

"The Student Council President is truly amazing."

"Student Council President? Is she your Student Council President?"

"And she's also a current Champion-ranked Trainer! And that person over there is also a Champion!"

"This..."

Isn't this an activity for freshmen!?

The students of Blueberry Academy were a bit speechless, and those who had been beaten by Nemona were even more surprised.

Is she really a Champion?

Because they assumed the other party was bragging, they didn't even bother to search for it online.

Isn't the Paldea Regional Champion called Geeta or something?

Champion-ranked?

The special regulations of the Paldea region made it hard for people from many other regions to understand; most people believed there was only one Champion per region.

Nemona, sitting with her friends, didn't care about what others were saying.

"You only have three? Keep up the good work!"

She was only happy about being able to surpass All Baimu.

All Baimu was also helpless; he had spent most of his time within the day finding all the Pokémon he knew in Kitakami.

Ogerpon was eating curry rice with a small spoon; the taste of the spices made it feel very novel.

"Poni-o~"

"If it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll make some for you." He said with a smile.

Although the prototype of Paldea is the Iberian Peninsula, once schools in the Pokémon world go out for field trips, there is always an invariable ritual—

Eating curry.

Curry in the Galar region is as popular globally as its tourism industry.

One can only say that Rose might consider shifting his focus?

Well, he belongs to the Oboi-type overbearing CEO who wants to grasp both hands and wants both hands to be strong.

After a pleasant dinner.

Blueberry Academy students couldn't wait to come over.

"Champion! Please battle me!"

"There are two Champions here; which one are you looking for?" All Baimu feigned ignorance.

The student was asked this question and was momentarily at a loss.

He laughed, "Just kidding. I can agree to a battle with you, but tonight isn't activity time, so I can only agree to battle you."

This sentence disappointed the others behind that person who were preparing to queue up.

Including the other three who had lost their chance to battle him during the day because the statue was destroyed.

Post-dinner exercise session.

Hearing that a real Champion was going to make a move, many students rushed over to watch.

Even the accompanying teachers who had nothing to do came.

The person leading the Blueberry Academy group was a short-haired woman wearing a purple cinched-waist suit and bright red suit pants, with golden, curly hair, and ears that looked exactly like Terastallized forms.

"Teacher Briar."

Jacq greeted her.

Briar nodded with a smile, and upon seeing Miraidon beside All Baimu, her pupils shrank slightly, "Teacher Jacq, that student is..."

Jacq chuckled, "He is this year's freshman, All Baimu, but you should be more familiar with the title of Orre Champion."

"It's him?"

Briar muttered, and when she saw All Baimu release a noisy Scream Tail, her eyes lit up again.

Area Zero! Paradox Pokémon!

This boy must have been to Area Zero!

She was absolutely certain of this; after all, she held the original version of the Scarlet Book, which contained more content than the subsequent reprints!

The battle had no suspense.

The evil ancient creature Scream Tail easily took the victory, imitating the celebration movements of athletes on TV after scoring, excitedly rolling its right hand back and forth.

"Ya!"

YES!

All Baimu also offered applause like a coach, "Well done!"

The opposing student was very disappointed; logically speaking, Scream Tail wasn't as powerful as he had imagined, which made him feel he could win.

In the end, he still lost.

He honestly handed over his stamp.

Other students were itching to battle after being stimulated by this match, and since they had just finished dinner and had nothing to do, they simply started battling in twos and threes.

Until the administrator came out to stop them.

The moon hung high, and many residents of Mossui Town were about to rest; who could handle a group of students suddenly starting to battle?

Nemona had also wanted to have a match with All Baimu, but she gave up in disappointment upon hearing this.

"It's the same if we battle tomorrow morning."

He comforted her gently.

At this moment.

He felt someone approaching from behind and turned his head slightly to find it was a strange woman.

"Hello, my name is Briar, the accompanying teacher from Blueberry Academy."

Briar smiled and reached out her hand.

All Baimu shook it, "All Baimu."

"Could we step aside to talk?" Briar glanced obscurely at Miraidon and Scream Tail, "About the two of them."

"Ya?"

"Ga-ssi?"

Scream Tail and Miraidon looked at each other; them?

All Baimu frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Briar suddenly took out a book from her bosom.

She said in a friendly manner, "I am a descendant of Heath, the author of this book."

The Scarlet Book!

Arven recognized it at a glance because he once had a Violet Book.

That book was still left in the time machine in Area Zero to prevent the need for authorization to shut it down if this thing were to revive.

Nemona and Penny were both surprised, and they looked at All Baimu in unison.

Among the four, the one who made the decisions had always been this reliable adult.

"Please."

All Baimu decisively made an inviting gesture.

——

Several people had a conversation in the Community Center meeting room.

Briar had only one purpose in seeking them out—

"Have you been to Area Zero? If I'm not mistaken, Iron Thorns and Scream Tail both come from there, right?"

"That's right."

All Baimu nodded and added, "But Iron Thorns has been renamed; it's called Miraidon."

Briar felt quite amazed, chewed on the name Miraidon, and smiled, "So that's how it is; that's indeed a good name."

Miraidon is the globally unified Japanese transliteration.

She continued, "What is the situation in Area Zero? I have applied many times to investigate Area Zero, but it has never been approved. Did you go in secretly?"

"No, we went in with permission."

Nemona corrected her statement.

The one who snuck in wasn't there.

Briar said pleasantly, "That's great! It looks like my next application should be approved soon; I can finally go find the Disk Pokémon!"

"Disk Pokémon?"

"That's right, look here."

She spread out the original Scarlet Book, and a certain page inside recorded a paragraph.

'I temporarily call this creature

Terapagos,

and speculate that the substance that induces Pokémon to glow,

as well as the substance that allows Pokémon to crystallize,

is its body.'

The four stared at this content and thought of a place in unison—

Deeper into Area Zero!

You must know that the Sada AI once said that whether it was the power of the time machine or the power of Pokémon Terastallization, both relied on the crystals of Area Zero.

And the source of the crystals was the lower level of the time machine; something seemed to exist there, which even caused All Baimu to travel to the past Kitakami!

Briar couldn't see through All Baimu's eyes, but the others were too easy to read.

"Do you know something? Can you tell me?"

Seeing everyone hesitate, she coughed lightly and said, "My purpose is very simple: to prove the existence of the Disk Pokémon and clear my ancestor's name!"

Briar stated that because the contents of the Scarlet Book and Violet Book were too bizarre, they were treated as ghost stories by the people of that time, and Heath himself, as an adventurer, had his reputation ruined as a result.

She really wanted to seek justice for her ancestor and tell the world how amazing Heath really was.

After hesitating, Arven said, "We have actually been to the depths of Area Zero, but the place we went to wasn't the deepest; the deepest part is a world of its own, so we don't know much about the Disk Pokémon either."

"Right, we suspect it might be the source of Terastallization, the fundamental power that causes these Pokémon to appear."

Penny looked at Miraidon and Scream Tail.

Briar muttered, "Paradox Pokémon..."

"Paradox Pokémon?"

"Yes, I call these special Pokémon that shouldn't appear in this world and are extremely similar to many Pokémon 'Paradox'."

She smiled and said, "I have also done quite a bit of research on Terastallization over the years. The 'Ecological Core' that allows students to Terastallize at Blueberry Academy is my invention, but it hasn't been invented for long."

No wonder Drayton and the others knew nothing about Terastallization.

All Baimu said, "I once saw a student from your school Terastallize a Pokémon and change it into a type it didn't originally have. May I ask what the principle is?"

"This, this requires the use of something called Tera Shards." Briar smiled, "The magical thing about crystals is that each shard has a different type, and reaching a certain quantity can change a Pokémon's Tera Type."

All Baimu continued, "Is Blueberry Academy the only one with this technology now?"

"That's how it is for now."

Briar didn't dare to guarantee it and complimented, "In terms of Terastallization research, I am far inferior to Professor Sada and Professor Turo; they are the true pioneers of Tera."

The four fell silent abruptly.

That was true.

But... the people were already gone!

"If you have any needs, come to Blueberry Academy to find me; I can help you."

Briar said generously, "But correspondingly, if my application is successful one day, I need a guide who can take me to the bottom level. Area Zero is very dangerous, right?"

Penny said with lingering fear, "Extremely dangerous; I definitely don't want to go a second time."

"My dad will clean that place up!"

Arven said unhappily.

The Sada AI prepared to join forces with the League to manage the Paradox Pokémon in Area Zero, reducing the burden on the future Swords of Justice.

But it's estimated they won't appreciate it.

Modern Swords of Justice all hate humans very much, and it's even harder to say about the future.

The deal was reached.

Briar, All Baimu, and the others exchanged contact information and invited them to visit Blueberry Academy in the future.

"Sister schools should communicate with each other!"

She began to think about the possibility of exchange students.

After Briar left, the four exchanged thoughts on the name Terapagos.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Pokémon that caused you to travel to ancient Kitakami is Terapagos."

Penny proposed a guess.

Arven said, "Why would it do that?"

"... Who knows." All Baimu touched the Legend Plate on his chest; he dared to bet it had something to do with Arceus.

But he had no explanation.

Nemona was concerned about another matter and said seriously, "Since the time machine and Terastallization all originated from it, and it has awakened now, what if it runs out and summons a bunch of Paradox Pokémon?"

The Student Council President and Champion had a strong sense of social responsibility for Paldea.

She continued, "Even if it doesn't do it itself, it's not right to do bad things after being captured by someone!"

"Indeed, this is a weapon of mass destruction."

All Baimu nodded.

Just like Eternatus in the neighboring Galar region, it has both benefits and harms.

Nemona felt it was necessary to remind Geeta.

It just so happened that there was a time difference between the two places; when it was dark here, it was bright there.

She immediately made a phone call.

Arven said, "Although Nemona is often like a battle idiot, she is also very serious occasionally!"

"What are you talking about? She is the Student Council President." In Penny's view, someone who could replace Clavell was extraordinary.

All Baimu tapped the table with his index finger, noncommittal about their conversation.

Nemona returned quickly.

She said, "The Chairwoman knows, but regarding Briar's application, she decided to delay it a bit more, first to sort out all the Paradox Pokémon in Area Zero and repair the roads and buildings that need repairing."

"As it should be."

All Baimu nodded.

——

The next day.

The Terastallization training activity continued.

All Baimu naturally had a battle with Nemona, and Ogerpon, who discovered his true strength, was extremely surprised.

"Poni-o?"

"Ya~"

Scream Tail raised its eyebrows triumphantly, as if it also possessed this strength.

Ogerpon was actually fooled by it, and its cute face became serious, "Poni-o..."

Although it didn't often resort to force, little Ogerpon knew the necessity of martial power.

Let's battle!

Ogerpon challenged Scream Tail.

Scream Tail decisively accepted the challenge; it was a fierce, combative ancient Pokémon with pure primitive genes, how could it—

Boom!

"Ya..."

In the small pit, Scream Tail's head was buried deep in the soil, its feet twitching involuntarily.

It looked like it wouldn't be able to get up for a while.

"Poni-o?"

Ogerpon looked at it blankly, then at its own club, and immediately put away the Spiky Club when it heard a sound from behind.

"Poni-o~"

It showed a smiling face to All Baimu, who was walking over, as if nothing had happened.

If Scream Tail hadn't buried its head in the pit like an ostrich, the persuasiveness might have been higher.

All Baimu said helplessly, "Why did you two start fighting? And you, you currently lack growth!"

He didn't dare to say directly that Scream Tail was weak.

This big Jigglypuff was troublesome when it got angry.

"Ya!"

Scream Tail was unconvinced; how could it be knocked down by a club? If you have the ability—

When it saw Ogerpon seemingly about to pull out the Spiky Club, the corners of its eyes twitched, and it turned to scold All Baimu angrily, "Ya!"

Why didn't you tell me it was so strong!

"I didn't have time to."

All Baimu took out the Rotom Phone and pointed to one of the pages, "See, you are level 60, it is level 80; there is a very long chasm in between."

Before capturing Ogerpon, he never expected that Ogerpon was actually level 80.

Even more exaggerated than the Loyal Three.

However, the Loyal Three were never its match before, and furthermore, the Loyal Three slept for a long time, while Ogerpon slept for a short time and often helped the people of Kitakami drive away soldiers and "demonic beasts."

It's no problem to have a higher level.

"Poni-o~"

Ogerpon showed a happy smile when it heard All Baimu seemingly praising it.

A shadow fell beside it, and it turned its head to look, finding it was Miraidon with a strange smile on its face.

"Ga-ow~"

I'm level 85~

The mechanical lizard couldn't help but want to show off too.
