Fly on a dragon. This is definitely one of Merlin's most common daydreams as a child. It should also be one of the most common fantasy scenes for many boys. As a native of Guandu, Merlin's best mount is naturally the mighty and brave Charizard. After many years, when his childhood dreams had almost cooled and almost been forgotten, Merlin was finally able to get what he hoped for and truly experienced the feeling of riding a dragon and flying.
"Woohoo~~~"
Sitting behind Dragu, Merlin cheered and was very excited.
And Dragu obviously didn't adapt to the cumbersome flight process behind him, hovered in the air a few times, and tried a few basic movements of ascending and descending, Dragu didn't give Merlin face, and landed directly to abandon Merlin, who was still cheering behind it. It made Merlin a little embarrassed.
Although Dragu recognized Merlin's status as a trainer after a battle with the Fossil Pterodactyl, he has never been very close to Merlin, let alone close. This guy's performance is barely obedient, obeying Merlin's tactical guidance, combat command, and Merlin's training arrangements and on-the-spot scheduling. Whenever it comes to things that have nothing to do with combat, this guy doesn't have much of a cold to Merlin, let alone any respect or obedience. As for flying into the sky with Merlin, this was originally reluctantly agreed for the sake of Lingzi's face.
However, the results of the test flight were not ideal, after all, Dragu had not evolved long, although he was already quite proficient in flying, but he was still not comfortable with a burden on his back.
Therefore, Merlin had to dismiss the idea of letting Dragu ride straight to the dome the whole time. Instead, according to Plan B, Dracula and Dragu took turns flying to the dome with Merlin.
Dracula has absolutely enough power to fly on her own, but once she takes Merlin with her, she is a little powerless. And Dragul, although he has more strength, cannot let Merlin ride for a long time because of his lack of experience. And because of his anatomy, Draghu couldn't grab Merlin's shoulders like a fossil pterosaur and take him into the air.
As for the idea of asking the fossil pterosaur to bring Merlin, Merlin had also flashed in Merlin's mind, but after seeing the performance of the fossil pterosaur being able to crush the boulder with just a single claw, he obediently dismissed this thought. If none of the fossil pterosaurs had mastered their strength, Merlin would have to lose one or both shoulders. Not afraid of 10,000, but afraid of what happens, Merlin finally decided to be on the safe side and not to take risks.
The sky in the ancient world was actually not very high, from the ground to the bottom of the dome, it was about 17,800 and less than 2,000 meters. For fossil pterosaurs that flew against the wind, they couldn't fly that high, because after a few hundred meters below the dome, there was no strong enough air to lift their heavy bodies. For modern Pokémon, whether it is a forked bat or a fire-breathing dragon, it is more suitable for flying between hundreds of meters under the dome, because the air flow in the air below is too strong, although it can barely fly, but it is a major test and tempering of physical strength, energy and flight experience.
Merlin has made the most of this, and he has been urging Dracula and Dragu to practice flying in the air, which has really allowed the two of them to improve their flying skills quite a bit. At the same time, Merlin has also been cooperating with them in manned flight tests, and again and again through the air relay step by step approaching the position of the dome.
Merlin didn't think that with the help of his partners' superpowers, he could break through to the dome more easily and quickly, but since the situation after entering the dome and entering the rock passage is basically unknown, it is necessary to retain the maximum amount of back force in case of accidents. Merlin didn't know how long the rocky passage to the modern world was, how dangerous the path was, and whether there were any other dangers lurking within it. Therefore, he needs to keep as much of the superpower reserve as possible that can be mobilized at any time in case of emergency.
Each time he got closer to the pure stone dome, Merlin felt a strong sense of unreality every time he looked at the rock wall above him and at the thick clouds under his feet. For those ancient beings who live in the ancient world, this ancient world is their world, a world that is extremely real, extremely cruel, and extremely dangerous. And for Merlin, a human from the wider world outside, this ancient world is just a small box formed for unknown reasons, although it contains some creatures that are obviously extinct, but it is still only a small box.
If he hadn't been able to touch the edge of this little box, if he hadn't come from outside this box, I'm afraid he would have regarded this little world as his world......
"Alas......" Merlin sighed faintly, "if one day, when the technological power of mankind has finally developed, it can touch the edge of this world. I don't know if that's the scene there. What we think of as the world may be just a slightly larger box...... The life we think we think is free may be just some kind of script......"
The dome was only a hundred meters away from Merlin, and it only took Dragu or Dracula to rise up to the dome with Merlin and enter the passage where Merlin had fallen. But Merlin still motioned for Dracula, who was hovering in the air by his shoulder, to lead him back to the ground.
The first step back into the modern world is almost complete. Now it's time for Merlin to pack his bags and plan when he's going to go.
Merlin's trip to the ancient world was not entirely fruitless, except for the friendship of a fossil pterosaur, Greatwing, and out of the instinct of a scholar and the nature of collecting, Merlin still scavenged a lot of products from the ancient world. For example, the first specimens and samples of various ancient vegetation, the fruits, stems, leaves, roots and other parts of some ancient vegetation that seem to have edible or medicinal value have been unceremoniously collected by him, and there are also some specimens of bones, fur and even blood and body tissues of ancient monsters, as well as samples of some minerals that Merlin does not know. There are many types, and the names are chaotic, and the number is also quite numerous.
And among these real gains, there is one big guy that gives Merlin the most headache, that is, the fossil pterosaur egg captured by the big wing.
In modern society, hatching Pokémon eggs is not a difficult thing to do. Needless to say, places such as breeding houses, egg homes, and ranches that specialize in the sales, hatching, and care of Pokémon eggs can provide comprehensive, scientific, and meticulous care and services for these small eggs. Even individual trainers, with the help of high-tech products, can also engage in the great and sacred mission of "incubating eggs".
Convenient devices such as simple hatching boxes, portable hatching boxes, and Pokémon Egg Bionic Incubation Systems, large or small, can already be used by trainers in a hurry to hatch Pokémon eggs on the go with the help of the storage function of the subspace backpack with a huge internal space.
It's just that since Merlin didn't expect to come into contact with Pokémon's eggs before, he didn't configure this device at all. And without those convenient high-tech devices to help control the temperature of the eggs and other conditions, the eggs that have not been cared for by their mothers themselves may not live to die in a few days. Fortunately, Merlin's team also has the existence of the nurse Happy Egg and the Obligatory Mother Nine-Tails, one of the two guys out of the noble spirit and rescue instinct of the nurse, and the other may be out of motherhood or simply for fun, in short, to help Merlin take on the responsibility of laying the eggs.
However, there is nothing wrong with incubating the eggs, but there is a big problem with the eggs. Pokémon eggs are one of the very few creatures or items that cannot be contained in Pokéballs (including humans in the range of creatures), whether they are single eggs or carried by Pokémon that have already been subdued, Pokémon eggs cannot enter Pokéballs. And since the design principle of the Subspace Backpack is based on Poké Balls, Pokémon Eggs cannot be stuffed directly into the Backpack, and they need to be contained by an additional hatching device before they can be placed in the bag.
In other words, if Merlin wants to take the not too small fossil pterosaur egg, he will have to carry it with him as he enters the rock passage. And since Pokémon eggs require a relatively constant temperature to hatch, Merlin must also learn from Nightingale to hold the eggs in his arms all the time. Although Merlin made a temporary insulated bag from old clothes that could be tied to his body to hold eggs. But that big guy with a physique that is not small and weighty is not light, once you put it on, it is undoubtedly a huge burden.
But Merlin couldn't leave it behind. Once Merlin doesn't want the egg, then Wing Wing will eat it first. And even if the big wing didn't eat the egg for Merlin's thin face, it would only take a few days for the egg to die because no one took care of it. What's more, neither Nightingale nor the Nine-Tails or even Merlin himself couldn't bear to leave the big egg like this. So the only option left is to take it away, no matter how difficult it is.
Fossil pterosaurs could not adapt to the modern world, and soon died for various reasons in the modern world. So can the eggs of fossil pterosaurs, which have not yet hatched and are growing, adapt to the environment of the modern world and survive normally because their living environment changes in advance in the eggs? Merlin didn't know, he had to gamble. Instead of just abandoning it and dying here, it is better to take it back to the modern world and fight!
Merlin was wrapping up his old clothes in long strips of torn clothes, the temperature of the egg was a little lower than the human body's body temperature, and the outside felt like a rock, very much like the skin of a fossil pterosaur. It has the texture of life to the touch. Merlin actually had the experience of hatching Pokémon himself, and Vizel, who was inseparable from him as a brother, was hatched by Merlin himself when he was a child. However, unlike this newborn egg, Wizir already had his own consciousness and mind at that time, and was about to hatch. And this egg is a blank blank in ignorance, only a little life force is constantly growing.
Circles and strips of cloth wrapped around Merlin's waist and abdomen, and soon he became a pot-bellied "pregnant woman". Tentatively moving his hands, feet, and limbs, assessing how limited his mobility had been with the egg, Merlin was ready to embark on a journey back to civilization.
I said, are you really going to carry it like that? Wizil, who had been unable to stand it for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, I'm not going to abandon it!" Merlin's answer was categorical.
Well, I'm not asking you to drop it...... Wizil rolled his eyes, I mean, are you sure you're going to 'carry' it like that?
"Of course?" Merlin turned to look at Wizil, and put on a look on how you asked such a retarded question. It turns out that Wizil is looking at himself with a retarded look. Merlin suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"What do you mean?" Merlin asked.
Well, I mean, I can teleport......
Before Wizil's words were finished, Merlin immediately understood what it meant. That's right! Wizil's superpowers are not affected or limited, and he can even teleport freely, shuttling freely between the ancient and modern worlds of the mountains of Pusina. It can't take itself away, but it can take away the eggs, and take away Nightingale, who can take care of them!!
Merlin, who had figured it all out, suddenly had a light in his eyes.
Alas...... Usually looks pretty smart...... Why are you so stupid when it comes to the critical moment...... Wizil sighed and shook his head, looking disappointed.
"Come less!" Merlin endured the embarrassment and said inwardly, "Hurry up!" ”
