A New Generation of Pokémon: The Chapter of Vermilion and Purple

"Please ask Dr. Futu to study this one. If it is the same as the Rayquaza, it should also be a Taijing illusion."

Inside a small truck, Xiaozhi knocked on the iron shell of the iron arm and found nothing unusual, as if it was completely real.

A few hours ago, when the two were worrying about how to take it to Area Zero, the worker who was trapped by the Thunderbolt Ball happened to pass by and enthusiastically freed up a truck to carry the two and Iron Arm to the entrance of Area Zero.

Peter stroked his chin and watched the video on his phone. He felt the truck suddenly stop and pushed open the door and said, "Too crystallized Rayquaza? If that's the case, the mastermind must have started to act a long time ago..."

"Thank you so much! Well, I will visit you in Anaza Town next time!"

After bidding farewell to the workers of Xueza Town, Xiaozhi and Peter pulled the rope and dragged the iron arm through the passage. Not long after, they felt the view in front of them suddenly became clear. They were shocked by the tall buildings in front of them. Millerton even ran out of the ball and played happily on the open space.

"I didn't expect you to come so soon, Xiaozhi. Come to think of it, this is our first meeting, right?"

The gate of the building opened, and Dr. Fortu walked over slowly. Millerton walked forward, circled around Fortu, and then began to back away, somewhat resisting the other's touch.

"Hello, Dr. Fortu! This is Peter from the Galar region. We want to explore Area Zero together." Xiaozhi shook hands with Fortu and dragged the Iron Arm in front of Fortu. "By the way, Dr. Fortu, this is one of the Iron Arms transformed from crystals that we met on the way. It doesn't seem to be very strong, and it will disappear after being defeated..."

Futu nodded, turned the iron arm over and over to check it, then looked up and said, "It is indeed very realistic. I didn't expect it to be exactly the same as the original owner. It should be similar to the Rayquaza that Xiaozhi encountered before, both of which are derived from the Taijing illusion... A very valuable sample."

After tying up the iron arm again and placing it in the warehouse, Futu led the two of them into the building.

"This is the gate of Area Zero, which is used to observe the facilities of Area Zero inside the Padiya Pit. Generally, you have to enter the gate before entering Area Zero, which is safer." Futu turned on the power, and the inside of the gate immediately became bright. "But you are still a little unlucky. There is a problem in the research institute deep in Area Zero, and there are some new caves due to landslides. It will take me about two weeks to investigate these things."

Xiaozhi was a little disappointed: "So we can only come back later? I think with our strength, there won't be any problems."

"These are the regulations of the Academy and the Alliance. Area Zero has buried countless explorers in the past 2000 years, so it is better to be cautious... But I can answer some of your questions to the best of my ability."

Looking at Futu who was sorting documents at the table, Peter thought about the strangeness of Futu mentioned by Chibana, but he just felt it was strange but had no reliable evidence. After thinking for a while, he said, "Excuse me, how did the paradox Pokémon appear?"

Futu paused after hearing this, and took out a few sandwiches from the lunch box beside him and handed them to the two of them: "Have you eaten? This is the dinner that Piper sent. I have already eaten, so normally I can't finish it. Sorry to bother you."

"Then we'll have to interrupt your work."

Xiaozhi and Peter released all the Pokémon to share the sandwiches. After they finished eating, Futu began to talk:

"Paradox Pokémon... My wife and I prefer to call them future or past Pokémon. We believe they come from another different time and space."

"So... what the illustrated guide says is correct? The Iron Arms were transformed by humans from the future?"

Futu looked at the Rotom phone in Xiaozhi's hand and continued, "Part of this information is legends passed down from ancient times. Olin and I spent several years sorting them out and compiling them into an illustrated book... Another thing is that I also hacked into Xiaozhi's mobile illustrated book system. It is the only illustrated book with this data. As for promoting this information, I am still considering it. I am worried that it will cause unnecessary panic."

"Ah? Is that the reason?"

Compared to Xiaozhi's slight surprise, Peter was very shocked. Although Futu said it calmly, he had subconsciously thought that Xiaozhi's Pokémon data came from future research, but he didn't expect it to be this Pokémon doctor in front of him. The Pokémon information was so detailed, didn't it mean that these paradoxical Pokémon had been thoroughly studied by him before being known to the outside world?

Could it be that Futu is...

"So, how did they come to this space-time? Could it be that there is a space-time rift in Area Zero?"

"We haven't found anything like this in our ten years of research and exploration, and the logs of previous expeditions only record its existence and drawings, so we don't know how it got here."

Peter continued, "So there's no definitive evidence of where they came from, right?"

Futu nodded and said, "Yes, we completed a test by accident, but in order to collect more data and complete the final research results, we built a time machine that can travel to other time and space to confirm this point of view..."

"No! We can't do this!! The Paradox Pokémon will come to Padia and completely exterminate the other Pokémon!!!"

Xiaozhi suddenly stood up and shouted to stop him. Peter was stunned and immediately realized that this time machine must be the culprit that caused the extinction of Pokémon in the future.

After listening to Xiaozhi's experiences in the future, Futu lowered his head and fell into silence. After a while, he raised his head and opened his mouth as if to say something to Xiaozhi, but in the end he didn't say it.

"It seems that I am too obsessed and can't bear to give up the career I am passionate about," Futu muttered to himself as he looked at the research plan in his hand, and raised his head to look at Xiaozhi again, "Thank you for your reminder, Xiaozhi, I will explain this in detail to Orin and shut down the time machine as soon as possible..."

"It's getting dark, you should leave. There are no rooms for people to stay here."

"us……"

After discussing some issues about Milton and Taicrystallization with Futu, Petra held Xiaozhi and left the gate under Futu's eyes. Only a muffled sound was heard, and the gate was completely closed...

"Peter, what are we going to do next?"

The two were walking on the road to Jinhui Town. Xiaozhi looked at Millerton who was happily running with Pikachu, and learned from Futu about the great power hidden in Millerton. He knew that he had to use certain opportunities and fighting atmosphere to release the true form he had seen before. However, he still felt a little at a loss as to the next goal.

"I think we need to find Mr. Dandi first, make adequate preparations, and then sneak into Area Zero to investigate."

"You mean, stowaway?"

"That's about right. It's not a bad thing to do for the life of a Pokémon." Peter smiled and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Xiaozhi, how about you speed through the remaining gyms within this week? I suddenly feel that the Padya Alliance may know the truth of some things..."

"A quick challenge with Pikachu? Isn't this a bit against the rules..."

“Pika-pi, ika-pi-ka!”

"What? Pikachu is so motivated... Well, let's give it a try!"

"Pika!"

"Very good, we'll head to the Ghost Gym tomorrow!"
