Chapter 395 Taile Bagos and the Great Hollow of Zero
"Wow, there's even a photo with the famous announcer Kurumi."
Luo Mu pulled out a photo from the center and looked at it carefully.
It was a picture of a messenger bird and a pink-haired woman wearing round-framed glasses standing under a broadcast tower.
Originally, Luo Mu couldn't understand how the messenger bird managed to take a photo with Hu Tao, who was like a star in Manjin City.
But when I saw the second photo nearby, all my doubts were answered.
The second photo still retains the three elements of the broadcasting tower, the messenger bird and the walnut, but compared to the photo in Luo Mu's hand, there is an old man in a white coat with gray hair and a vigorous spirit.
Professor Oak, the Pokémon professor of Pallet Town.
Luo Mu remembered that the Kanto and Johto regions often broadcast Pokémon lectures by Professor Oak and announcer Walnut, which seemed to be intended to let more people know the characteristics of Pokémon and promote the birth of new trainers.
It seems to be due to the departure of Professor Oak. After staying with Mewtwo for so long, even the messenger bird has become smarter.
The heavy mood caused by the sudden incident was relieved a lot. After putting away the photos, Luo Mu sat down on the chair with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
Zhi Huixing stood up and made tea for Luo Mu. As if to ensure that his skills were not rusty, he was more accustomed to using his hands to make tea than using telekinesis.
Frosty Milk Fairy jumped out from the kitchen with a very delicate triangular cake, wanting Luo Mu to try its latest creation.
Taking the plate handed over by Frost Milk Fairy, Luo Mu cut off a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth to chew carefully. His eyes lit up slightly and he gave a thumbs up to the happy Frost Milk Fairy.
"good to eat!"
Just two words of praise were enough to make Frost Milk Fairy feel a great sense of accomplishment, as well as the joy of having her carefully crafted food recognized.
Frosty the Frog hummed an unknown tune, jumped off the table, and happily ran to the kitchen to distribute the remaining cake to other Pokémon on the farm.
"Meow~"
Roentgen the cat meowed, stretched, and walked towards the kitchen with a nimble cat step.
It planned to go and help, as it would be tiring for only Frosty the Frost Pokémon to deliver cakes back and forth in this hot weather.
Luo Mu waved to the Roentgen Cat and watched it leave with the plate on its head. At this time, the Bud Crown put down the teacup and asked, "How is the status of your student's Pokémon?"
"Thanks to the secret sour ingredient and Miss Joy's efforts, the condition has temporarily stabilized, but we cannot be sure how long it will take for the disease to relapse. We can only deal with it as soon as possible."
Luo Mu picked out the key points and recounted the situation to King Lei Guan.
"Now we mainly wait for Mudan to bring back the Taijing fragments that have some of the Taijing energy so that we can ripen the secret seasoning: bitter seasoning."
The Crowned King nodded, "This is the only solution right now."
Zhihuixing handed the steaming teacup to Luo Mu, then put down the broken teapot, and recalled with some emotion the past when it was still an ordinary wild Pokémon living in the jungle.
"Perhaps it's a gift from the Creator. It's very rare for us Pokémon to get sick. Even if we get sick, most of the time it's just a minor illness like a cold or a fever. As long as we find the right herbs for treatment, we'll get better in a few days."
"In the jungle, I often treat other Pokémon who come to me for help, but this is the first time I've heard of the "pocket inflammation" that the young master mentioned."
As he spoke, Zhi Huixing filled King Leiguan's cup with tea again.
"Thank you." Rape Crown Dynasty Zhihuixing nodded gently, holding up the teacup and reminiscing, "When I ruled Galar, humans seemed to have many kinds of diseases. On the contrary, the wild Pokémon in the Crown Snow Fields rarely get sick. They can survive in such a harsh wild environment, and their bodies are all very strong."
"Because of the high fire attribute talent and the poor development of the flame bag, an immune disease has been formed. I don't understand the specific meaning of the term, but as Luo Mu said, to solve this disease, I am afraid we still have to start from improving immunity, promoting the secondary development of the flame bag and improving the control of fire attribute energy."
Luo Mu said: "In order to effectively improve Flareon's immunity, we must grow healthy and mature secret seasonings. I am relieved that you, Bud Crown, are here to share nutrients and vitality."
"The main problem is how to use the Taijing energy correctly. If we rashly gather the Taijing energy near the plant, it will probably cause local crystallization."
The Bud Crown King put down the empty teacup, exchanged glances with Zhi Huixing, and said, "Zhi Huixing and I have already discussed this, and we have a rough plan, but we still need to experience it in person before we can make a judgment."
Luo Mu was slightly stunned.
"Personal experience?"
"Tai Crystallization. Only by experiencing Tai Crystallization myself can I understand this energy that only exists in this land of Padia."
"So, throw the Taijing beads at me, my friend."
The Bud Crown King smiled, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Hearing that Bud Crown was going to try to crystallize, many Pokémon in the farm came to watch how Bud Crown crystallized.
After all, in the impression of all the Pokémon on the farm, the strongest one on the farm now should be Ragnarok riding on Phantom and Snowsteed.
Even if it was Roentgen or Mega Swampert fighting against Budcrown, the situation was always one-sided.
The monarch snake meandered forward and found the Blue Flame Blade Ghost who was with the Mosquito Repellent Frog King and the others.
In the farm, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost is the most crystallized, and it often engages in high-intensity battles after crystallization. Its feelings are very worth referring to.
Vulpix sat on the back of Snowstorm Horse, and even in the hot weather, he did not give up his heart of enjoying the melon.
Ponyta doesn't like sunny days, and is hiding in the shadows with Mimikyuu and watching. Oliva temporarily hands the growing chicken to Sanmao to take care of, and comes to the scene with Cosmog and Victini, who are hanging on his body like fruits.
The tropical dragon came over with the fruit-eating worms and the Huhu siblings. Three bees also flew out of the glass greenhouse. The white fluffy ones stayed in the flowerpots on the balcony, intending to look out from a high place.
I don't know where the Windy Dog and the Mahua Dog went. Maybe they ran into the wild to have fun.
At this time, Luo Mu was holding the Tai Jing Zhu that had been fully charged when he returned to Padiya yesterday. Looking at the Lei Guan King who was ready and nodded slightly to him, he did not hesitate and threw the activated Tai Jing Zhu directly and accurately over the Lei Guan King's head.
The thrown Taijing Pearl formed a beautiful parabola and hovered above the head of the Lotus Crown King. The bright starlight fell with it. The Lotus Crown King closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power called Taijing.
But when the Tai Crystal Pearl poured all the Tai Crystal energy stored on the Lotus Crown King, the Tai Crystallization did not come.
Instead, the Taijing Pearl, which had lost its energy, first hit the buds on the top of the Bud Crown King's head, and then fell to the ground with a plop.
The Pokémon watching around immediately let out a series of surprised cries. Having experienced the crystallization of the Roentgen cat, it changed from lying to standing. It did not think that this was the problem of the Bud Crown. It had been fighting with the Bud Crown every night recently and it knew very well how powerful the Bud Crown was.
The problem lies with the Taijing Pearl.
King Leiguan didn't seem surprised by this. He used his telekinesis to send the Taijing Pearl that had lost its energy to Luo Mu. He lowered his eyes and looked at the Taijing energy that was surrounding him like a bright galaxy and was bound by his telekinesis. There seemed to be enlightenment in his eyes.
The telepathy of the Bud Crown King spread.
"To put it bluntly, the energy in the Taijing Pearl is not enough to support my Taicrystalization."
Hear the words.
Luo Mu was not as surprised as he thought.
He remembered that when the sword and shield were Dynamaxed, only the Dynamaxed King had no dark red light around it, but was surrounded by a blue light that matched its telekinesis.
For legendary elves like the Bud Crown King who are in their prime, a large amount of Taicrystal energy may be needed to enter the Taicrystalization state.
Unfortunately, compared to the Super Stone or Evolution Key Stone that can be obtained once and for all and benefit from for a lifetime, the energy that can be stored in the Crystal Pearl is limited. Even if Victini is allowed to charge it, its reserves seem to have a limit.
If one wants to crystallize the Lotus Crown King, one must either try to throw multiple charged Crystal Beads, or go to Area Zero where the Crystal Energy has dissipated to the point where the Crystal Beads can be used continuously without recharging.
As for the Taijing Pearl that has infinite energy and does not need to be recharged, Luo Mu is not sure whether such an item exists. After all, he traveled through time after playing the first or second round of the main game, so he is not sure whether it has been added in the DLC.
King Lei Guan didn't care much about the failure of Tai Crystallization. His goal from the beginning was to understand the characteristics of Tai Crystal energy, and the understanding he had just gained was enough.
Luo Mu of the Lei Guan Dynasty said: "We can start preparing for the experiment. I already have an idea of how to use the Tai Jing energy."
After a while, the farming area.
In the neatly arranged square fields, the plants arranged at appropriate intervals are swaying slightly in the breeze.
Luo Mu pointed to a few plants with yellow veins on their leaves and said, "These are all secret seasonings: bitter seasoning."
The Roentgen cat nearby came forward and sniffed curiously, then sneezed.
It didn't recognize any special or easily identifiable smell, it all felt like the same earthy smell, and it didn't know how Luo Mu recognized it.
The Bud Crown King and the Wise Ape looked at each other, and the Bud Crown King stepped forward to verify their speculation.
The Taijing energy that had just failed to crystallize it was still firmly bound by the Bud Crown King's telekinesis. After careful identification and division of the area, the Bud Crown King carefully injected the Taijing energy into the designated bitter ingredient and the soil where it was rooted.
While the Lotus Crown King was injecting Taijing energy, Zhihuixing briefly explained the conclusions he and the Lotus Crown King had reached.
"Perhaps the roots of these special plants can absorb Taijing energy and require Taijing energy. Therefore, only Padiya in the world has these five secret seasonings. These five seasonings have such strange effects and are so rare."
Listening to Zhi Huixing's explanation, Luo Mu was deeply moved.
As expected of a king who once ruled a region and an outstanding graduate of the Pokémon Butler Academy, his logic is flawless.
The only pity is that these are all speculations.
Luo Mu waited for a while, until the Lei Guan Wang, who was injecting Taijing energy into the soil for the first time and also had to prevent the crystallization phenomenon from affecting other seasonings, finished micromanipulation, then asked: "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed. Although it is very weak, I can sense that the roots of the secret seasoning are absorbing the Taijing energy I injected. Next, I just need to mix Taijing energy into the soil while injecting nutrients to ripen it to promote the root system to absorb energy. I should be able to get the secret seasoning in the best condition."
The Rape Crown King nodded modestly, in a very good mood.
Compared to the feelings I had as a king when I was fighting off invaders, suppressing rioting wild Pokémon, and even dealing with natural disasters, the sense of accomplishment I got from such a small thing was particularly interesting.
A smile also appeared on Luo Mu's face.
The experiment has produced reliable results. The next step is to wait for the Taijing fragments prepared by Mudan to arrive.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu called Roentgen and planned to go to the Pokémon Center again.
Piper sent a message not long ago, saying that he had arrived at the Pokémon Center and had some things to convey to him on behalf of Professor Olin and Dr. Fortu.
Seeing this, the Bud Crown King volunteered, "I'll go with you too. Although I can't cure the disease, I can stabilize Flareon's vital signs and make it better."
Luo Mu nodded, "That couldn't be better."
Flat Disc Town, Pokémon Center.
There was no news from Peony yet, but Piper was already sitting here waiting.
When Papper heard that Mudan's Flareon was in trouble and that a large amount of Taijing energy was needed to cure the rare disease, he called his father and mother without saying a word.
Fortunately, Papa was lucky today. Not only was the signal in Zone Zero stable, but Olin and Futu also happened to be staying in the Zone Zero Research Institute.
After hearing this, Orin and Futu, who were far away in the Zone Zero Research Institute, looked at each other and first thought of the "secret treasure" in the "Great Void of Zero"!
According to the research of Olin and Futu, the secret treasure deep in the Zero Void is most likely the source of the Taicrystallization phenomenon. Although they are also happy to help Luo Mu, the research has entered the most critical moment and the secret treasure cannot be taken away from the Void.
If Luo Mu needed a large amount of Taijing energy, it would be better to go to the Zero Void instead of purchasing those Taijing fragments that do not have much Taijing energy at a low efficiency and high cost.
The true form of the secret treasure is a turtle-shaped Pokémon that looks like a gem, sleeping quietly in a hard crystal composed of high-concentration Taicrystal energy.
Taking away these crystallized parts will bring much more Tai crystal energy than what is contained in any Tai crystal fragments.
If Luo Mu had not only taken care of Papa, but also saved them and his wife, they would not have allowed unexpected factors to enter the Zone Zero Research Institute and the Zero Void that were about to be completed.
Olin and Futu also gave this Pokémon, codenamed "Secret Treasure", a name.
Too Le Bagos.
The Tai Crystal energy it possesses is full of mystery and incredible power.
