Chapter 1256

"Terastal energy is truly magical."

Briar also collected some samples of the Herba Mystica mother tree, "Not only does it have an effect on Pokémon, but even plants are affected."

Isn't it!

All Baimu only felt that Terastal energy was comparable to a wish-granting machine; it could travel through time and space, change attributes, and create seasonings beneficial to the body.

A universal element?

Arceus, do you have any objections?

A short while later, Briar finished collecting the mother tree samples, took off her gloves, and said, "We should be very close to the destination; the concentration of Terastal energy here is so high that even the water contains it."

"Is that so?"

All Baimu had a sudden inspiration upon hearing this and looked at the Shiny Gengar calmly.

Gengar: "Gengar..."

Big brother, you...

It had no choice but to dive into the water, silently taking out empty bottles that had previously been used to carry Moomoo Milk or other liquids, and kept pouring water into them.

Unfortunately, there weren't many empty bottles.

——Can't just open its stomach and pour it in directly, right?

In that case, most of the stored items in its stomach would likely be flooded, and it had no way to partition the interior; it was all piled up in one go.

Leaving the island in the middle of the lake.

The group followed the waterway back and arrived at the place where crystal pillars were blocking the road earlier.

Gengar, who had finished the collection work, returned to the shadow silently; it had almost used up everything that could hold water, even clearing out canned dry food to hold water.

As for the harvest, it could only be said that it could be used to build a swimming pool.

After all, there was no preparation in advance, and it was difficult to take away too much water with temporary operations.

And just after entering the dazzling tunnel, everyone gradually noticed the difference in their surroundings.

Arven rubbed his eyes and said, "Why does it feel like the area of crystals on the wall has increased? Is it an illusion?"

"It has indeed increased, look ahead."

Peony's words made everyone look, and they immediately saw that the tunnel ahead was already covered with colorful crystals.

As if leading to some mirror kingdom.

Briar stepped on it first, but was almost brought down by the smooth crystal surface; fortunately, Carmine behind her helped her up.

"Ah, thank you."

Her excited heart cooled down slightly, "The ground is very slippery, everyone proceed with caution."

"Guao!"

Miraidon took the lead, ran steadily to the very front, and turned its head to look at Briar, signaling her to ride it.

But there was no rapport between Briar and it; she only thought it was helping to open the path, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you to be the vanguard!"

"Agas..."

Miraidon rolled its eyes as if it had fainted and looked at the Rotom Phone at the very back for help.

The Rotom Phone helped translate, "It says it can stand steadily and wants to carry everyone inside."

"Hmm?"

Briar looked down and saw Miraidon's steady footsteps, "That's fine too!"

She nodded and greeted several girls to ride Miraidon.

The cyber giant lizard's back was still quite wide, with a maximum load of four people; Briar and the other girls were relatively small, so they could sit.

If Arven were included, there might not be space.

The previous few times were all relying on Miraidon to shuttle back and forth, which wasn't too much trouble for it, as it was very fast.

"You guys..."

"We can let Porygon2 help."

While All Baimu was speaking, his psychic power lifted him and Arven up.

The sudden floating made Arven a little flustered, "Wow!"

"Don't panic."

All Baimu grabbed his arm, stabilized his body, and Arven, feeling the support point, finally felt at ease.

Miraidon moved forward impatiently.

The tunnel was extremely long, like a space-time tunnel leading to a mysterious alien space.

The overly dazzling environment made everyone start to feel uncomfortable.

All Baimu, who noticed this, got goggles from Gengar, "Everyone, I have goggles here, the quantity is just enough for us to wear."

"How does it have everything?"

Briar looked at Gengar in great surprise.

This guy's belly was simply comparable to a treasure bag; it could take out whatever it wanted.

All Baimu said, "The environment in the Orre region used to be relatively harsh, with scorching sunlight and wind and sand; usually, you have to wear goggles when going out."

Although the environment had improved now, he hadn't thrown away his old things.

He had even used them when he went to the Crown Tundra before!

And there were two pairs of sunglasses inside that belonged to Tinkaton; even though they were basically never worn, they were purely accessories for taking photos.

Wearing the goggles, everyone felt much more comfortable, and Briar's emotions were mobilized again.

"GO! GO! GO!"

She couldn't wait to see the Zero Treasure with her own eyes.

Not long after.

The road ahead turned from bright to dark, the crystals on the ground disappeared, replaced by solid soil.

As if completing a difficult space-time shuttle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when their feet touched the ground.

Walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.

Countless large and small crystal pillars were inserted into the wall like sharp arrows, as if supporting this space located deep underground.

Carmine muttered, "Is the atmosphere here a bit different?"

Peony agreed, "I can't breathe."

Briar checked the concentration of Terastal energy at the first opportunity, and the value displayed by the instrument made her voice change, "Three thousand... no! Five thousand! It's still rising!"

"It's making me unable to breathe smoothly."

Arven gasped in a cramped manner, as if the Terastal energy in the air was constantly eroding his lungs.

Automatic breathing had also turned into manual breathing.

His performance caused a synchronous reaction from others around him.

Nemona looked around curiously, and then her gaze fell straight ahead, "On that platform!"

"Platform?"

Briar looked up and walked over quickly.

Everyone followed closely behind and saw a hexagonal crystal slightly larger than a palm placed crookedly on a crystal platform that looked like a throne.

Briar kept her eyes on the instrument, moving forward and backward, backward and forward, and finally concluded:

"That's right! It's this! Terapagos!"

She started flipping through the Scarlet Book to recheck again.

Nemona asked in surprise, "Is Terapagos also a stone?"

"This should be its sleeping form; there are records in the Professor's notes."

Peony remembered the content in the notes, "Similar to the form change of Darmanitan."

Carmine reached out to pick it, but was quickly grabbed by All Baimu.

"What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid it will wake up suddenly and bite you?"

He warned Carmine, who was stunned, "As the source of Terastallization, the combat power of the Zero Treasure Terapagos is definitely not bad; do you want to be attacked by it?"

From the fact that he came here half a year ago and was sent to the Kitakami region of the past by Terapagos, it was not difficult to see that this guy's sleep was extremely light.

It might wake up in a while.

Briar, who was eager to move, heard this and agreed as if waking from a dream, "All Baimu is right, let's observe carefully first, it's better not to disturb it casually."

Since the Zero Treasure had already been discovered, it could be studied slowly.

Nemona pondered, "Actually, waking it up and then finding a way to catch it is also possible, right?"

"I'm worried that if we fight too hard, we'll be buried inside."

Peony said gloomily.

Arven turned his head and instigated, "All Baimu! Go catch it! I think you can! You've caught so many Legendary Pokémon and Paradox Pokémon, this time will definitely work too!"

"That's right, the Champion is an expert at catching Legendary Pokémon."

Briar smiled and agreed, and took out a Master Ball from her pocket and handed it over, "Here, you should be able to use it."

All Baimu: "..."

Had this person been thinking about catching Terapagos all along?

Carmine sighed quietly; she had originally wanted to instigate her younger brother to come together and take the opportunity to catch Terapagos.

But looking at the current situation, even if Kieran came, the chance of catching it wouldn't be high.

There are professionals here!

"That..."

"It moved!"

Just as All Baimu took the ball and was about to reply, the Rotom Phone spoke suddenly.

Everyone looked over; the hexagonal crystal that had been quiet just a moment ago was floating leisurely, emitting a pale blue fluorescence, gradually becoming larger and wider.

"Everyone! Step back!"

All Baimu immediately greeted everyone to retreat, thinking, it's not going to use a big move to send them to different eras, right?

In an instant, azure limbs had extended from the left, right, front, and back of the crystal; at first glance, it looked exactly like a turtle...

No!

It is a turtle!

"Terapagos!"

Briar was full of fanaticism, while All Baimu was vigilant and carried a bit of disappointment.

How could the dignified third god be a cute little turtle?

Could it be that Scarlet/Violet broke through tradition, and the third god isn't a Legendary Pokémon, but has become a Mythical Pokémon?

As everyone knows, Legendary Pokémon are generally huge, handsome types, while Mythical Pokémon are generally small, cute types.

Very few can break this law.

"Ba~ga~"

Terapagos landed, its cry was slightly sharp, its eyes were shining, and coupled with the diamond-shaped ornaments on its head and sides of its head, it inexplicably had a bit of an Indian style.

It didn't take any attack measures, looking around curiously and blankly, which made All Baimu relax.

Peony covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "It's actually... a bit cute!"

Nemona clenched her fists excitedly, "Mm-hmm!"

She really wanted to compete with All Baimu a little.

Although she behaved a bit like a boy in daily activities, Nemona was ultimately a girl who liked cute things.

From the fact that her most commonly used Pokémon was a type like Pawmot that was both handsome and cute, one could see some clues.

Strength and cuteness going hand in hand was exactly what she yearned for.

And what surprised everyone was that after Terapagos looked around, it quickly ran toward All Baimu with its short legs.

Swish swish, very fast.

"Ba~ga~ Ba~ga~"

Listening to it, why does it sound a bit like it's scolding people?

All Baimu sweated, and Miraidon beside him wanted to step forward to stop it, but was blocked by him.

"Don't!"

Don't send Miraidon back to the "future" in a while.

But this posture of the other party made him not dare to contact it casually; the Kitakami region trip had gained a lot, but it also brought some shadows.

Separated from Pokémon for too long!

"Baga?"

Sensing his repulsive posture, Terapagos stopped, tilted its head to show some confusion, and then continued to move forward until it was only one meter away from All Baimu.

Snap!

It jumped up suddenly, pouncing on his face like a facehugger.

All Baimu grabbed Miraidon's handle, forcing himself not to dodge, but strangely, Terapagos's jumping trajectory fell halfway.

Finally, it pounced on his chest, its head drilling back and forth at his collar.

Until it saw a string, it opened its eyes wide and bit it, pulling it out—

It was the Thousand-Year Arm.

"Ba~ga~"

Terapagos called out happily and rubbed its head against the Thousand-Year Arm again.

"It seems to like All Baimu very much!"

Arven whispered.

Nemona was very disappointed, "How could this happen, there's nothing to compete for."

She wasn't the kind of person who would snatch a Pokémon knowing it liked someone else.

Briar clapped her hands joyfully, "Great! Saves a lot of trouble!"

All Baimu's words naturally caused her worry; what if Terapagos attacked them?

Although "hear the Dao in the morning, die in the evening," she wasn't willing to die for real.

Briar still wanted to vindicate her ancestor!

And also wanted to go back to discuss the usage of Terastal energy with Professor Turo!

Peony moved to the side and said, "No, it doesn't seem to like All Baimu."

"Hmm..."

All Baimu, whose whole body was stiff, took the initiative to speak, "It's sticking to my Thousand-Year Arm."

Thousand-Year Arm?

Several people were somewhat blank when they heard this thing.

The Rotom Phone, which had been filming the whole time, explained the origin of the Thousand-Year Arm and couldn't help but say, "Does it have a relationship with Arceus?"

Is there a connection between the ninth-generation Pokémon and the fourth-generation Pokémon?

Well, after the legend of Arceus, it's not impossible.

And there's also the theatrical version!

Isn't Hoopa also connected to Arceus?

He carefully went to pick the Thousand-Year Arm, and when the pendant left his chest, Terapagos actually bit it in one bite, hanging like a fishing turtle.

"Good... a Pokémon with no threat."

Peony's mood relaxed completely.

Compared to the violent Paradox Pokémon, the source of Terastallization, Terapagos, unexpectedly had no threat.

All Baimu shook it gently, and Terapagos's body followed, with no intention of attacking at all.

He put the Thousand-Year Arm and it on the ground together.

"So I was implicated."

All Baimu remembered that time-travel, and after a long time, the source was the Thousand-Year Arm, not himself.

No wonder he traveled to the Kitakami region near Sinnoh and met the descendants of the Sinnoh refugees and Ogerpon.

"Ba~ga~"

Terapagos held the Thousand-Year Arm, shaking its body like it was playing, and suddenly lost its center of gravity and fell backward, struggling in a panic.

It shouted repeatedly: "Ba~ga~! Ba~ga~!"

Everyone: "..."

The source of Terastallization...

Just this?

A purely cute existence!

Carmine remembered All Baimu's warning and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Her laugh caused the people next to her to laugh too, and the sound of laughter spread throughout the huge space.

"Ba~ga~"

Terapagos hadn't been able to flip over for a long time and was ridiculed, feeling a little angry for a while.

It was All Baimu who stepped forward to help, letting it regain its freedom again.

"Ba~~ga~~"

Its smiling appearance seemed to be thanking him.

All Baimu had a strange expression, "It should... still be able to transform, right?"

"I think so, there's a portrait of Terapagos recorded in my ancestor's notes, which is completely different from now."

Briar said, "Since it can change from a crystal to its current appearance, it must be able to change again! All Baimu, hurry up and use a Poké Ball—"

Before she could finish.

Terapagos yawned and changed from the little turtle form into a hexagonal diamond crystal block.

All Baimu tried to pick it up and found that it was stuck tightly to the Thousand-Year Arm.

"It's hard to imagine who we've been playing wits with for half a day." The Rotom Phone complained.
