Chapter 560: Traveling Through Time Again

Within a few breaths, the mist that was only floating at the feet had spread to the face.

Dragonite flapped its wings, trying to raise a strong wind to disperse the mist.

But the mist seemed to have no entity. No matter how wildly the air flow danced, it gathered and climbed firmly.

Until the vision was occupied by a white mist, a strange feeling came over Luo Mu.

To describe it in perhaps a somewhat abstract way, it was as if he was being stripped away from this world.

But this feeling was fleeting. In just a blink of an eye, a thought, or a distraction, Luo Mu found that everything around him had changed.

"Dragonite."

Luo Mu, who was concerned about Dragonite at first, had not finished speaking before he subconsciously breathed.

A rather dirty, literally throat-spicy air rushed into his trachea, which had been blessed with the fresh air of Padiya and Alola, and could even be said to be spoiled.

In just a moment, Luo Mu couldn't stop secreting rational tears from the corners of his eyes, and subconsciously stopped breathing in fear.

The Dragonite next to him was not in a good condition. He pinched his throat and looked at Luo Mu pitifully, as if asking for help.

Fortunately, he didn't separate from Dragonite.

This thought flashed through his mind. Without time to observe the surrounding environment, Luo Mu quickly took off the backpack on his shoulders and searched quickly in the huge space inside.

Just when he was about to suffocate, he finally found a mask with anti-virus, purification and filtration functions, and even independent feeding functions, as well as matching portable oxygen.

In addition to his own use, he also prepared customized special models according to the size and race of Pokémon.

Fortunately, he brought a space backpack when he went out, and prepared various items in advance.

Although he often laughed at himself that the things in his backpack were so messy that they looked like a treasure bag of a certain Doraemon, his preparations really came in handy at this moment.

After Luo Mu and Dragonite put on their respective masks, they took a deep breath as if relieved.

Alive!

At this time, they had the leisure to check the surrounding environment.

At this time, they were no longer in the ruins of the other shore, and the figures of Tapu Chirp and Tapu Chirp had long disappeared.

The surrounding area was a very desolate mountain, and the thick black clouds covered the sky, making it difficult to tell whether it was day or night.

In addition, the bad air that he had just experienced was so bad that it could not be described by the word "dirty".

It was obvious that he was thrown into a very bad place by Tapu Chirp.

This reminded Luo Mu of the animation plot, in which he fought with Tapu Chirp on the way to school, and then inexplicably appeared in an area composed of yellow sand and ruins.

He remembered that the explanation given in the plot was that the Tapu Chirp that Xiaozhi knew had a connection with the different-colored Tapu Chirp in the parallel world.

Through some unknown principle, the surging thunder allowed Xiaozhi and Pikachu to travel to the destroyed Melemele Island Haoole City in the parallel world, or it should be called the Ultimate Building.

Because greedy humans monopolized the land and developed it wantonly, the rich nature disappeared, and even the forests, oceans and air were polluted one after another.

The island guardian was disappointed and disappeared completely. Humans were unaware of this and continued to develop.

Until one day, an ultimate beast named "Evil Food King" appeared in the basement of a shopping mall.

The Evil Food King destroyed everything, devoured everything within his sight, and finally created the ruins that Xiaozhi saw.

As for where he was, Luo Mu was not sure yet.

But it was certain that it should not be the ultimate building that Xiaozhi and Pikachu crossed.

"Sure enough, I have to look around."

Luo Mu muttered to himself and decided to investigate the surrounding environment to determine where he was now.

"Try to fly higher."

Climbing on the back of Dragonite, his voice was slightly distorted through the mask.

"Bowu~"

Dragonite nodded gently and flapped its wings to rise into the air.

Because the portable oxygen supply was limited, even if they could be replaced, Luo Mu and Dragonite had to use it sparingly, as they didn't know how long they might have to stay here.

Violent actions would inevitably consume a lot of oxygen, so Dragonite's ascent speed slowed down a lot, but this slow pace allowed Luo Mu to clearly observe the area he was in.

Even with the increase in altitude, the mountain he had just been on was still so desolate, not to mention the traces of life, not even a dead tree had been seen.

Flying a little higher, through the gray air, Luo Mu saw the endless mountains.

On the towering and absurd rocky mountains, huge cables were entangled in the continuous mountains like giant pythons, and the cables were slightly flashing with bright blue light, as if they were still working.

The buildings that looked like industrial relics ran through the huge canyon and were located on the other side slightly away from Luo Mu and Dragonite.

The dark smoke continued to rise from it and discharged into the sky, forming a black cloud that covered the sky.

Thunder and lightning could be seen faintly in the dark clouds.

He had no time to be surprised. As Dragonite continued to increase its altitude, Luo Mu could see the whole picture of the place.

As expected, it was a large island.

But what was the endless black surrounding the edge of the island?

Could it be the sea?

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Mu frowned deeply.

But then, looking at the whole island, Luo Mu's expression changed as if he remembered something.

Asking Kuailong to stay still, he dug out a neatly stacked paper map of the Alola region from the bag on his waist.

Comparing the outline of an island on the left side of the map, Luo Mu fell silent.

He could probably guess where he was.

This is still Poni Island, but it's not the Poni Island I know, but the ultimate power plant similar to the ultimate building!

at the same time.

Far away from Poni Island, an artificial island built on a polluted ocean.

"Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company" headquarters, in the president's office.

The blue-light screen suddenly flickered, and the scarlet color seemed to be warning something.

"Who broke into my Pony Island?"

A pair of large hands with thick hair on their arms reached out and canceled the alarm.

In the slightly flickering light, the rough expression of the voice owner was revealed, with a slightly gloomy expression.

After completing the investigation, under the command of Luo Mu, Kuailong landed at the bottom of a relatively hidden rock mountain.

Luo Mu had marked the area where they originally appeared on a separate map of Poni Island. Generally speaking, the terrain was similar, so they would not get lost.

"This place is secluded enough and can be used as a base for the time being."

After getting down to earth, he replaced Kuailong with a new portable oxygen tank. Looking at the empty oxygen tank, Luo Mu frowned slightly.

He thought that the strange environment here might have a greater impact on him and Kuailong than initially expected.

Although he stayed in the air for about thirty minutes for reconnaissance, the oxygen consumption caused by the action increased with the intensity of the action.

If a battle occurs, the impact of this environment on combat effectiveness may be quite obvious.

High-intensity battles will inevitably lead to faster oxygen consumption, and the air here is so polluted that people can smell it and are definitely not allowed to come into contact with it.

Compared to when Ash and Pikachu traveled to the parallel world of Hau'ole City, where most of the things were devoured by the Evil Eater King and turned into a wasteland of yellow sand, the environment of the Ultimate Building was much better than here.

Even if he could try to adapt to the pollution here, Luo Mu didn't want Roentgen Cat and Kuailong to try to adapt to the environment here.

Who knows what unexpected changes will happen, and what if you get sick.

Just a moment after landing, Luo Mu, who felt a little itchy for no reason, had already pulled out a set of protective clothing from his backpack and put it on.

Kuailong feels okay, but because of the mask, most of the radiation-type moves should be unusable.

Luo Mu, who stayed close to Kuailong and was wary of unfamiliar environments, checked this temporary base.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

This is a semi-enclosed environment composed of some collapsed rock blocks stacked up with some structural cavities.

It is used to avoid unknown enemies, which is at least better than sleeping in the open air.

And Luo Mu chose this place as a stronghold. Apart from the suitable structure, the most important point is——

He chose the landing location based on the map of Poni Island.

The location Luo Mu chose was the location of the Sun Wheel or Moon Wheel Altar.

Touching the badly worn patterns on the floor through his gloves, Luo Mu's eyes fell on a stone that was almost broken into pieces, and a corner of the sun pattern engraved on it could still be vaguely seen.

Who would have thought that this is the most sacred place in the Alola region, storing a large amount of light energy that can allow Cosmo to evolve into the legendary elf Solgaleo or Lunala.

But at this time, there was only such a piece of ruins left here.

What exactly happened to Poni Island?

Luo Mu thought silently as he released the Roentgen Cat, Swampert, Menas and Dragon Mother from the elf balls in turn, and prepared masks for them to avoid panicking in times of crisis.

The answer is actually quite obvious.

Moving forward, at the other end of the Pawnee Grand Canyon, the power plant built on the rolling rock mountains is most likely the culprit of the environmental changes here.

The black pollutant gases emitted into the sky from there make up the sky today regardless of day and night. Just looking at it is shocking.

It has been almost an hour since we arrived here, but except for himself and Kuailong, Luo Mu has never seen a trace of a wild Pokémon or human.

Maybe there will be people or ultra beasts in the power plant.

Luo Mu had no intention of rashly going there to explore.

Now because of the air, his combat power will be affected to some extent.

Rather than heading there recklessly, he prefers to take a rest and go to Poni Gulang Rock Shore again to look for Capu Fin Fin in this parallel world.

With the opponent's power, that is, the "clear water that purifies all filth", you can fight with all your strength on your side without any scruples.

Even if he meets the real culprit who caused Poni Island to look like this, he will at least be able to fight.

After roughly formulating a plan, Luo Mu filled his stomach with liquid food in bags that would hardly be exposed to air contamination for lunch. He also cleaned up some traces of his activities here and took back Kuailong and the others, leaving only Dai Dai. The masked Roentgen cat remained.

He didn't plan to fly over directly this time. Regardless of the fact that he chose to take risks in order to clarify the situation before, doing high-risk things now after completing the reconnaissance was not his style.

Before setting off, in order to confirm some things, Luo Mu took out the Z bracelet and all the Z pure crystals he carried with him from the bag on his waist.

Grass Z, Ground Z, Mimikyu Z, and the normal Z that Tapu Butterfly threw to him before, and the electric Z that won Tapu Chirp.

These props are not shining with charming colors like in the Alola region, but have become dim without exception, just like when Xiaozhi traveled through time.

Perhaps it is because the Tapu family no longer favors them, or because the light of the Radiant God Ultimate Necrozma no longer shines.

Fortunately, although the Z move was banned, it does not affect the Taijing beads that directly store Taijing energy, and the Evolution Keystone and Evolution Stone activated through the bond between the trainer and Pokémon.

But it should also be noted that the energy of the Taijing beads may not be able to support multiple Taicrystallizations.

"If I bring Victini, I won't have to worry about this."

After sighing and identifying the direction, Luo Mu led the Roentgen cat towards the direction of the Bonnie Gulang Coast.

It is a distance away from Bonnie Grand Canyon, but not too far.

If you walk, you can walk from day to night.

It's tiring, but fortunately, Bonnie Island is now day and night~

At the other end of Bonnie Grand Canyon, in the power plant all over the mountains.

A flash of lightning cut through the sky, briefly illuminating the environment here.

Among the countless long snake-like huge cables, some kind of human-shaped wires, with white star-like heads, and unknown creatures composed of several cables all over their bodies tied themselves into cones and led them into the rock formations, motionless.

Such creatures can be encountered almost every few steps.

As if receiving some signal, as a certain indicator light of the surrounding power plant flickered slightly, the star-like heads of these creatures also began to flicker at the same frequency.

Then, after a few seconds of delay, several of them jumped into the sky and flew in all directions of Poni Island.

After walking for a long time and changing several portable oxygen cylinders, Luo Mu finally saw the outline of Poni Gulang Coast.

But compared with the ruins on the other side of Poni Gulang Coast, there were other more silent things that attracted Luo Mu's mind at this moment.

"This is... the sea."

Looking at the endless, dark sea that seemed to be completely dead, Luo Mu and the Roentgen cat looked at each other, and they saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

The sea that should have been full of vitality has become so lifeless now. The pollution here is simply-

Luo Mu sighed sincerely.

Even the air on land is so turbid. Even if the Roentgen cat used its special ability along the way, it did not find any trace of life.

Just looking at the current state of the sea, it is even more impossible for life to exist.

Even the Ugly Fish and Magikarp, who are not picky about the environment and have strong vitality, may not be able to stand it.

Just as Luo Mu was about to turn around and leave, at his request, the prompt system, which would not normally appear unless he asked, suddenly appeared.

A line of gilded characters quietly appeared in Luo Mu's vision.

[At 12 o'clock on the right hand side of the clock, there is a life on the beach about 500 meters away from you that needs your help]

Luo Mu paused and shouted to the Roentgen cat without hesitation: "Follow me!"
