Chapter 1235 The Subjugation Operation
Future Holy Swordsman and Ancient Phoenix Guard.
Based on the same legendary Pokémon, the Padilla League immediately took notice upon discovering it.
However, the large influx of outsiders and construction equipment inevitably brings chaos to the local ecology of Zone Zero.
Not only were the Paradoxical Pokémon disturbed, but the ordinary wild Pokémon also suffered.
Although Yaji had taken this into account before taking action and properly placed the non-paradox Pokémon elsewhere, what about the remaining paradox Pokémon?
Sector Zero is like a calm lake, with ripples created by human activity spreading to every corner.
However, what unfolds in Zone Zero is not a story of paradoxical Pokémon uniting to drive out humans and reclaim their peaceful home.
In addition to frequently attacking the noisy observation station, they also engage in fierce internal battles.
The ancient Phoenix Guard and the future Holy Swordsmen are two distinct groups.
In the middle levels of Zone Zero, they can often be seen fighting each other, as if they have some deep-seated hatred and are fighting fiercely.
"Xinli believes that the future Holy Swordsmen are trying to drive away the ancient Phoenix Guard."
Aoki said weakly, "They want to maintain the peace of Sector Zero, so they regard the ancient Phoenix Guard as a destabilizing factor. This situation has been going on for more than two months..."
Nemo and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
They don't actually come to Zone Zero very often, after all, one is the student council president of the academy and the other is a homebody programmer.
Why didn't Pipa know?
Faced with the questioning looks from those around her, Pipa was bewildered. "Wait, why are you all looking at me? I don't come here that often! Only once a month!"
He hadn't paid any attention to it, and only came down occasionally to see Dr. Futu.
"Okay, there's no point in dwelling on this."
Kashiwa snapped his fingers to get everyone's attention and asked, "How much impact will their fighting have?"
“There is definitely an impact, especially since they have been fighting higher and higher recently, which is why Xinli has become suspicious.”
A route map suddenly appeared next to Aoki's portrait, with red dots and lines that seemed to be their travel paths.
If this continues, the ancient Phoenix Guard might actually be "driven" out of Zone Zero.
...This is terrible!
Leaving aside the disturbances they caused after they left, there were so many people active near the sluice gate, and construction teams were building protective netting on the cliff.
The Sky-Piercing Flame and the Thunderous Drum might belong to the mild faction, but what about the Rippling Water?
Based solely on the way this guy launched his attack without any explanation when we first met, there's no doubt he'd make a move.
Kashiwa frowned, then slowly relaxed his brow, and continued to ask, "Do you have any ideas?"
"The chairman means to subdue them."
Aoki said calmly, "It's Yunimo who's going to make the move."
Nemo blinked. "Me?"
It wasn't that she lacked confidence or felt she couldn't defeat the ancient Phoenix King's guards; rather, as the person involved, she was completely unaware that this action concerned her own actions!
Aoki nodded. "I was originally planning to tell you after you returned from your visit to Blueberry Academy."
Nemo suddenly realized, then excitedly raised her arm, "Now that we know in advance, let's start now! Kashiwagi! Let's do it together!"
She warmly invited Kashiwagi to participate in the "hunt" against the ancient Phoenix Guard.
Kashiwagi did not respond, and continued to ask Aoki, "Why did you choose to stand on the side of the future Holy Swordsman?"
In his view, while the surging waters were indeed somewhat ferocious, the Void-Breaking Flame and the Thunderous Drum were clearly very rational and capable of communication.
Moreover, when they came last time, it was the future Holy Swordsmen who attacked them, not the ancient Phoenix Guard.
For what reason did the Padia Alliance decide to restrain the ancient Phoenix Guard and allow the future Holy Swordsmen to run rampant?
"For months, the turbulent waters have been frequently attacking the observation station." Aoki released many more images, all showing the destruction of engineering equipment and attacks on the personnel at the observation station.
But only the rippling water does this.
Remembering Iron-spotted Leaf's earlier attempt to shift the blame, Kashiwagi asked, "What about the other two?"
"It has never happened."
Aoki shook his head. "They do often fight against Ironhead and Ironrock."
Some shaky images were shown, seemingly taken secretly from a great distance.
Sky-Piercing Flame VS Iron Rock, Thunder Drum VS Iron Shell.
Peony suddenly spoke up, "Could the behavior of the rippling water be guided by the iron-spotted leaves?"
She had obviously thought of this as well, and then recounted what had just happened to them.
"Perhaps the future Holy Swordsman wants to use our power to drive away the ancient Phoenix King's guard." Peony became more and more certain as she thought about it.
Hachisaku said, "That's certainly very possible!"
"After they drove away the ancient Phoenix King's guard, will they use the same method to drive us away?"
Piper has never really trusted Paradox Pokémon.
If it weren't for the excellent performance of the Roaring Tail and Iron Tracks, he wouldn't have even considered Crawling Wings.
The reason for this consideration also lies in my inner fear of paradoxical Pokémon.
It will take two or three years to fully process what happened to the Godfather of the Mastiff.
"...Hard to say."
Aoki shook his head.
No one can give a definitive answer to this question.
Three Pokémon that have never communicated with them—who can figure out what they're thinking?
A moment of silence fell over the scene.
After a short while, Hachisaku spoke again, "If the Holy Swordsmen's next target is us, what are you going to do?"
Aoki remained silent, also waiting for their answers.
Peony recalled that several months ago, when they entered the deepest part of Zone Zero, the Future Swordsman had helped them resist the Paradox Pokémon that were attacking them.
Piper's speculation is based solely on his personal opinion.
That may not be correct.
"Eh!"
Nemo suddenly held up a finger and said, "I have a great idea, let's just subdue them all at once!"
"To subdue them together?"
"Yes! Leave it to me and Kashiwagi! Subdue the Ancient Phoenix Guard and take them out, and subdue the Future Holy Swordsman and leave him in Sector Zero. Then everything will be fine!"
She smiled and looked at the silent person beside her, and everyone else looked over as well.
Catching six paradoxical Pokémon based on legendary Pokémon is something perhaps only Kashiwagi dared to say was certain.
After all, in the realm of legendary Pokémon, he is considered an authority for those who have publicly revealed the five legendary titans.
The cypress tree remained silent.
He always felt that something was off about the script.
When two groups of Pokémon clash in the animated world, shouldn't we trace the source of the conflict, reconcile them, and let them live in peace from now on?
Why did they choose to wipe out the entire Parthian League?
If Ash were here—
wrong.
The main blame lies with the Parthian Union!
Kashiwagi suddenly realized that before they entered District Zero, the future Holy Swordsmen and the ancient Phoenix Guard had always lived in peace.
The arrival of humans may have given the future Holy Swordsmen the possibility of eliminating these three biggest "unstable factors," which is why they did it.
Did the unexpected turn of events create an opportunity?
How clever!
He then thought of the unfortunate Loz.
Nemo, also a champion under her command, unconditionally supported Yaji's decision, while Dan refused Rose's request.
...although there is a suspicion of taking things out of context.
Kashiwagi sighed inwardly, but nodded and said, "As long as Chairman Yaji agrees, I have no objection."
From the perspective of an ordinary trainer, wild Pokémon do not belong to anyone, and he can catch them whenever he wants.
From the perspective of the regional champion, it is necessary to consult Yaji before taking action against entities like the Future Swordsman and the Ancient Ho-Oh Guard.
Of course, the most crucial point is that the Four Heavenly Kings of Padiya were all watching.
If he were alone, he could have easily subdued them.
Aoki nodded and said, "I will tell her."
The phone hangs up.
Papa said, "I didn't expect this kind of unexpected turn of events to happen when we came in. Should we continue now, or stay here and wait for Chairman Yeci's response?"
"Let's continue and go see Dr. Futu."
Kashiwagi felt that since he had come all this way, he should see everyone he needed to see.
The other three expressed their approval.
-
Leave the second observation station and continue downhill.
The group arrived at the middle level of Zone Zero, where the greenery had increased significantly and the air was filled with moisture.
In the distance, you can see the waterfall roaring as it flows.
"Ee-ah~ Ee-ah~"
The roaring tail strides happily forward.
It used to live nearby, and those were rather lonely days, but now it has everything it wanted.
Therefore, when I revisited this place, I inexplicably felt like I was returning home in glory.
"You've gone to the wrong place."
Multiple mobile phone reminders: the tail should not wander off.
The roaring tail turned around, waving its paws repeatedly, "Eee-ah! Eee-ah~"
"What does it say?"
Nemo asked curiously.
Kashiwagi spoke first, turning on his phone, "It wants to go see its old friends."
Although he hadn't spent much time with Howling Tail, it was so easy to understand that Kashiwagi knew what it wanted to poop just by the way it turned its rear end up.
"Old friend?"
Piper looked at it suspiciously, "You noisy creature, you even have friends?"
"Ee-ah?!"
Roaring Tail felt insulted and glared at Pipa.
Pipa scoffed, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Ee-ah—"
The roaring tail grew increasingly furious.
After all, lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.
It naturally doesn't have the concept of friends; all it wants to see are those wild Pokémon that once rejected it.
The purpose of howling tail doing this was purely to show off the existence of Kashiwagi and the others.
"Look! Even if you don't accept me, there are others who are willing to accept me! I don't care about you!"
From this little thought, it's easy to see how much psychological damage the lonely days caused her, to the point that she was so eager to make amends.
Pipa wasn't afraid of the roaring tail; when faced with its fury, it simply gave Pipa a "I told you so" look.
At this moment, Peony said softly, "You're not much better than it, are you?"
"Uh."
Pipa's smug expression vanished abruptly. She hurriedly looked at Kashiwagi, Nemo, and the others, and said in a panic, "Aren't we friends?"
"Yes, yes... but besides us, there's no one else, is there?" Peony emphasized the word "besides".
Pipa ignored it completely, patting his chest in relief. "Good, see? Humph!
He continued to look smugly at Roaring Tail.
The roaring tail also obliged to continue being angry.
Nemo burst into laughter, while Peony remained silent, and Kashiwagi—
He was watching the voyeur.
Ironhead, the future leader of the Holy Swordsmen, stood on a large rock in the far distance, quietly watching them.
Cypress smiled and waved at it.
Upon realizing he had been discovered, Ironhead quickly turned and left.
Nemo noticed his movement and looked over, but saw nothing. "Who are you greeting?"
"One of our goals."
Kashiwagi's smile faded. "I was wondering if, since they don't have Papachai's second plan, our attempt to subdue them would be seen as a betrayal?"
"Uh."
The three of them looked at each other.
Peony said, "...Very likely."
"Then what should we do? Abandon the plan?" Nemo, the one who made the suggestion, began to hesitate.
Pipa's eyes darted around.
They are all easily swayed people.
Bai Mu shook his head and said, "We'll see if they're willing to communicate then. If they aren't, then there's nothing more to say."
If it's a genuine misunderstanding, you can simply capture it and then release it back into the wild.
what?
The psychological trauma caused by "betrayal"?
Who told you not to explain your behavior! Communication is the greatest tool in the world!
Kashiwagi recalled Iron-spotted Leaf's behavior of diverting trouble, and thought to himself that the future Holy Swordsmen probably didn't expect that they would also be considered an unstable factor.
If you want to use the alliance as a weapon, you must be prepared to be devoured by it!
soon.
We've arrived at Roaring Tail's former home.
A simple little cave.
It excitedly burrowed inside, then angrily ran out, clutching a pile of fruit pits, "Eee-ee! Eee-ee!"
Who ate all my stock?!
Omoto, who was shouting, wanted to take out the food he had hidden to treat Kashiwagi and the others.
But to everyone's surprise, it was all eaten clean.
Cypress patted its head. "Alright, you're not short of these things now. Take us to find your 'friend'."
“Eee-ah…”
The Roaring Tail quickly suppressed its anger, threw the fruit pit on the ground and crushed it, then continued on its cheerful steps.
However, after leading the group around the area for a long time, they still couldn't spot those familiar figures.
"Ee-ah?"
The roaring tail seemed bewildered, but it continued onward, wandering around aimlessly.
No matter how many times it circled around, it couldn't find the Pokémon.
"I guess they all moved away because of the riots," Peony observed her surroundings.
Kashiwa squatted down, examining any possible footprints. "Hmm, there haven't been any signs of biological activity for at least two or three weeks."
This skill comes from a bad boy.
Paji.
Roaring Tail plopped down on the ground dejectedly, looking extremely dejected.
Nemo and Peony couldn't bear to look at its pitiful appearance, and they uttered a "Roaring Tail..."
“Eee-ah-ah-!!”
It suddenly made a noise and started throwing a tantrum on the spot.
Piper yelled, "I knew it! This guy's never going to stay still!"
"Shut up."
Kashiwa grabbed its muzzle and glared at it, saying, "What's the rush? Zone Zero is so small, we can find it! If you make any more noise, I'll tape your mouth shut!"
"..."
The howling tail glared back pitifully, tears welling in its eyes.
But nobody sympathized with it.
Peony and Nemo were both busy rubbing their ears.
Kashiwagi waited until Roaring Tail was truly calm before letting go of its mouth and said, "Go down first, and I'll help you look for it when we get back. We also need to find those six Pokémon then."
“Eee-ah…”
Roaring Tail reluctantly agreed.
The group resumed their journey.
