Chapter 522 Leaving the Padia Pit, Crystal Pendant!

PS: In yesterday’s update, I incorrectly recorded the impact surface of the star crystal, and I have made corresponding modifications.

-

According to Dr. Fotu's conclusion.

Star Crystallization does not change the attributes of the Pokémon itself like Tai Crystallization, but it can also provide a one-time bonus to each attribute of attack moves released by the Pokémon.

It is just the extent of the increase, and since there is only one data sample, no accurate conclusion can be drawn.

Luo Mu thought about it carefully.

If star crystallization is just as Dr. Futu said, and if it is applied in actual combat, the effect seems to be quite subtle.

Not only can it not change the attributes of the Pokémon itself like Taicrystalization to deal with enemies it is not good at dealing with, but the attribute bonuses that will be maintained as long as it is in the Taicrystalization state will also become disposable consumables in Starcrystalization.

Even with the enhancement of the eighteen attribute moves, no matter how hard he racked his brains, apart from looking really cool, the usefulness of star crystallization seemed to be quite subtle.

After the Crystal Flower finally pulled itself out of the stone wall and staggered away, Futu took Luo Mu and continued to walk towards the area where the "Secret Treasure of Zero" was located.

Luo Mu was also amazed on the way.

Not only did he see a completely crystallized tree emitting brilliant starlight a thousand meters underground.

We also saw an underground pool with water that looked extremely clean.

Futu mentioned that the pool also contained a large amount of Taicrystal energy. If exposed to it for a long time, the Pokémon would directly become Taicrystalized.

This suddenly reminded Luo Mu of the memory of meeting the Gyarados of Taijinglong in the Crystal Pool on the top of Guishan Mountain in Beishang Township.

Is the crystal light pool the same as the pool of water in the Great Void of Zero?
Luo Mu told Futu about this discovery.

As expected, Futu showed an extremely interested expression and repeatedly said that he would definitely go there to take a look if he had the chance.

There is energy that can trigger the Pokémon Taicrystallization phenomenon so far away from the Padia region. Maybe somewhere connected to that pool, like the Great Zero Void, is sleeping with Tailobags, which should have been extinct in theory!
Fortunately, apart from the sudden appearance of the Crystal Flower, there were no wild Pokémon blocking the way. After walking for about half an hour, the two successfully arrived at the area where the Zero Secret Treasure was located.

Looking at the completely crystallized passage in the cave in front of him that led to an unknown place, Luo Mu seemed to have a feeling and subconsciously took out the Taijing Pearl that he had kept in his pocket along with the crystal of Tailebagos who was sleeping.

Even after the charging was completed, except for the moment of release, the Taijingzhu, which usually maintained an ordinary appearance, was now trembling slightly, radiating a light that could not be ignored from the inside out.

The Swampert that had already exited the Mega Evolution state came over curiously and looked at the Crystal Pearl carefully.

The Taijing Pearl has been glowing on its head all along, but this is the first time for Swampert to observe the glowing Taijing Pearl at such a close distance.

Swampert thought that Dragonite and Scatterbolt must like these shiny things very much.

Holding the Taijing Pearl, Luo Mu looked at Futu.

Luo Muming didn't need to tell him, as one of the inventors of the Taijing Pearl, Futu naturally knew the reason for the mutation of the Taijing Pearl.

Without thinking too much, he said confidently: "The closer we get to the Secret Treasure of Zero, Taile Bagos, the stronger the Tai Crystal energy will be around us."

"Like in the environment we are in now, the concentration of Tai Crystal energy is enough to support the Tai Crystal Beads to allow Pokémon to Tai Crystalize unlimitedly, and there is no possibility of any energy running out."

"Because the "Secret Treasure of Zero" is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Luo Mu also agreed with what Futu said.

To be precise, even though he traveled to this world just after completing the main game of Zhu Zi and did not experience the subsequent DLC, Luo Mu also knew that the Tai Crystals were spread all over the Padia region and could be seen in every corner.

The last Pokémon that possessed this kind of power that radiated to the entire region was an alien creature from the starry sky, the true form of "Nightmare", Infinite.

Luo Mu couldn't give an answer as to which one was better, Tailebagos or Wujitana.

After all, it is hard to explain that Tailebagos became extinct 200 million years ago due to crustal movement.

But apart from the individual that was transferred by the experimental time machine and is now in his pocket, perhaps it is because Tailebagos, as the "Secret Treasure of Zero", is very powerful that it has been able to survive to the present day.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu's breathing became heavier. Under the guidance of Futu, he passed through the smooth crystal passage and came to a wider space.

Here, even the surface of the crystallized rock wall is not enough. Countless tall crystals are crisscrossed here, forming a bizarre picture.

It looks as if you are already on another planet.

Luo Mu felt a little strange.

He thought that if he had not traveled through time, he would probably be observing everything in front of him through the electronic screen after the subsequent DLC was released.

And in the center of the pile of crystal columns, on a not-too-high crystal stone, a hexagonal gem crystal was lying quietly on it.

Futu had been here countless times. He walked over, stroked the crystal, and whispered, "This is the Secret Treasure of Zero. The sleeping Tailebagos is probably from the same family as the crystal in your hand."

Hearing this, accompanied by Swampert, Luo Mu also took out the crystal from his pocket.

Although Dr. Olin said that she would help Luo Mu embed the crystals into the jewelry to make pendants so that Luo Mu could carry them with him.

So the crystal at this time still maintains its original appearance.

Walking closer, Luo Mu's eyes moved back and forth between his palm and the crystal stone.

He can see many different details.

The crystals in my hand are not only smaller and thinner, but also have a noticeable difference in color.

The outer shell of the crystal in his hand was a gradient of blue-green and light yellow, with a white hexagram pattern in the middle.

The crystals around Futu are not only much larger in size and thickness, but also plainer in color.

Olin said that the two Tailebagos may not only have a considerable difference in strength, but also in gender, there may be a difference between male and female.

After all, although they are classified as legendary elves, the Tailebagos also had a tribe that existed two million years ago.

"You have so much energy, but you are still sleeping?"

Staring at the crystal, Luo Mu murmured in a low voice.

Futu heard these words clearly, and after thinking about it, he took out the "Purple Book" that he always carried with him from his bosom, and turned to the page that he had memorized since his school days.

In fact, Futu had never seen Tailebagos's appearance. After he and Olin's examination, it would probably take some time for the other party to wake up.

If we look into the reasons,

"Look at this."

Futu showed Luo Mu a page of the opened Purple Book.

Looking at the pattern above, Luo Mu's memory gradually revived, and he remembered what he saw in the game when he was browsing the Vermillion Book in the library of Orange/Grape Academy with the protagonist he controlled. "Is this Taile Bagos?"

Luo Mu asked tentatively.

"That should be it."

Futu leaned against a crystal column, looking up at the equally crystallized rock wall above, and recounted the couple's discovery.

"It will take some time for Tailebagos to wake up. It may be a few months, a few years, or we may not see that day."

"Then how did Haizhe, the author of the Red/Purple Book, know the appearance of Taile Bagos and record it?"

"The answer is that he had seen it with his own eyes while following the exploration of the Area Zero Observation Team."

"In the Padia region two hundred years ago, there was no concept of Taicrystalization yet."

As Futu spoke, Luo Mu's attention was immediately drawn to it.

Could it be that two hundred years ago, the Padia region was not too crystallized?
Futu said that he and Olin had thought about it many times, trying to let each other's thoughts collide and stimulate new ideas.

The final conclusion is that two hundred years ago, Haizhe also came to the Great Void of Zero by accident, saw Tailebagos in the crystal state, and accidentally awakened him.

It is impossible to find out what happened between the two parties.

But what is certain is that Tailebagos fell asleep again after waking up, because it spread the energy of Taijing throughout the Padya region.

After that, Taijinghua gradually appeared on the stage in the Padia region, and finally, with the "Book of Vermilion/Purple" written by Haizhe as the decisive factor, it attracted Olin and Futu, who were still students.

Not only did it lead to a marriage, it also led to the construction of the Zone Zero Research Institute.

Futu told everything he knew without hiding anything, and Luo Mu, who was listening at the side, felt that he benefited a lot.

The stories told by Futu himself, which were not recorded in the game, made him understand many things more deeply.

Next, Futu talked about his and Olin’s ideals.

[Create a paradise where all Pokémon can coexist peacefully, without violence and fighting, and live together and move forward hand in hand]

The "Secret Treasure of Zero" is an important part of realizing their dream. It is a crystal of their own kind. If it were anyone else, they would not let it be lost.

But Luo Mu is different.

The couple believed that the best solution was to leave this Tailebagos, which came to the modern era from two million years ago, to Luo Mu's care.

After chatting for a long time, the two set off to return to the Zone Zero Research Institute.

There were no accidents along the way.

When they returned to the Zone Zero Research Institute, Gulliver and Miller had already woken up.

As soon as Gulden saw the returning Luo Mu, his eyes lit up. He looked like a begging puppy, shaking his tail that could easily break a tree, trying to beg for a sandwich from Luo Mu.

Millerton also hinted to Luo Mu that he could feed him in a way that would not ruin his "cold" temperament.

It can be seen that the two of them are very satisfied with the taste of the sandwiches and have completely fallen in love with them.

Luo Mu stayed in the Zone Zero Research Institute for two days.

After all, it was rare for Papa, the crybaby, to reunite with his parents, so it would be a bit cruel to leave on the same day. After all, there was nothing urgent, and he was given paid leave in the name of carrying out Ye Ci's mission.

Before leaving, Luo Mu wrote down the recipes for the three sandwiches on a piece of paper and left it there.

After all, although he has a good relationship with Gulliver and Milton and gets along very well with them, they are still the objects of observation of the two doctors and can also serve as bodyguards when the time machine is started later.

Except for the two particularly ferocious members of the same tribe in the original plot, they can basically protect Olin and Futu well.

According to Luo Mu's speculation, it would probably take three or four years for Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu to completely perfect the time machine and transfer out individual No. 2, when Papa would be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

It was not long after the second individual was transferred that the two doctors met with an accident.

Before that, as Papa's teacher, Luo Mu still has plenty of time to teach him to become stronger, and then let Papa protect his parents himself.

December 11, morning.

Say goodbye to Gulden, who was reluctant to see him off with a pitiful look in his eyes, and Milton, who suddenly became particularly clingy.

Setting off at noon on the 2nd, it took Luo Mu and Papa nearly a day and a half to successfully leave the Padiya Pit and return to Jinhui Town.

Walking on the "popular" streets of Jinhui Town and watching the busy backs of office workers rushing to and fro, Paipa suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

I had been in Zone Zero for less than a week, and after getting used to that dangerous environment, it was hard to react when I suddenly returned to society.

He said to himself, "I wonder if they can make delicious sandwiches according to the recipe you left behind, Brother Luo Mu."

During these two days, apart from cultivating relationships with his parents and spending time with Gulliver and Miller, Papa spent most of his time teaching the researcher how to make a decent sandwich.

".It should, probably, be okay, right?"

Luo Mu paused, blinked, and there was obvious lack of confidence in his voice.

Because he found it troublesome, he pushed the teaching to Papa, and took Gulliver and Milton to the upper level to play all day long, just like a dandy boy walking his cat and dog and parading around the city.

And those ferocious perverse Pokémon are the poor little ones who are bullied by them, and they have no peace because of his actions.

The vengeful Luo Mu rode on Gul'ton and Mil'ton and found the Roaring Moon that had taken advantage of Dragonite's landing to launch a sneak attack a few days ago, letting it experience what it felt like to have a fist that cracked the earth and lightning that turned the earth into ashes.

Papa glanced at Luo Mu out of the corner of his eye and sighed.

Sometimes he felt that Luo Mu was more childish than himself. Who was the child?
However, being reliable is also very handsome.

After this trip to the giant pit, the relationship between the two became closer. In Papa's cognition, Luo Mu was no different from his own brother.

And now, Luo Mu needs a necklace chain to hang the jewelry.

Papa's eyes moved back and forth among the items displayed on the street stalls in Jinhui Town, and finally he picked out a simple silver chain. As a gift, Papa bought it for Luo Mu with his own money.

After all, it was a thoughtful gift from the students. Luo Mu gladly accepted Papa's kindness and tied it to the pendant inlaid by Olin, and finally hung it around his neck.

The pendant tied to the necklace swayed slightly as Luo Mu walked.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the hexagonal crystal, which looks like nothing special except that it's very beautiful, is actually the shape of an extinct Pokémon that existed 200 million years ago.
