Chapter 405: The Paradox of Time
As soon as autumn passes, the temperature drops immediately.
The Pokémon in the mountains and forests began to stock up on tree fruits for the winter, and the Pokémon who were afraid of the cold also began to migrate once a year and set off for the distant south.
The cold wind was bleak, and the yellow leaves swirled and fell from the branches.
Naoki stopped working on the fields and simply planted the two kinds of turnips that the ghost horse and the snowstorm horse loved to eat.
He took the Pokémon with him to stock up on the vegetables he had harvested in the warehouse, or made them into pickles for dinner.
It is worth mentioning that the green onion orchard tended by the green onion duck is also affected by the season.
Those thick and strong green onions have become very old because they have not been harvested for a long time.
For this kind of thing, the green onion duck is very familiar.
Therefore, before these green onions die of old age, it waves the green onions in its hand, harvests the green onions in the green onion garden one by one, and then bundles them into a bundle and holds them to Naoki for him to sell them for money.
After a few months of fitness career, today's green onion duck has already developed a strong physique, and under the fine fluff are pieces of burly muscles.
The originally exaggerated green onion has become extremely convenient for the current green onion duck.
"Well, it seems that your onion skill proficiency has broken through again!"
Looking at the green onion duck waving green onions in front of him, Naoki couldn't help but nod.
The green onion duck held the green onion in one hand and swept violently, and the fallen leaves on the ground floated into the air with the air flow generated by the green onion.
Hearing Naoki's words, the green onion duck stopped exercising, it held the green onion like a gun, and looked back with a resolute look in his eyes: "Ga! ”
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Naoki asked.
"Ga ......" The green onion duck thought about it carefully, and then shook his head.
It wants to stay in the pasture and continue to practice here!
"Thank you for your care in the future!" Naoki smiled and touched the head of the green onion duck.
As he spoke, he tied the red wool scarf he bought from the town around the neck of the scallion duck.
"A gift to you, I'm afraid this winter will be very cold." Naoki Road.
When he watched the news a few days ago, he saw that a strong cold air was sweeping across the western sea of Padea, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he came to the Padia region.
The green onion duck looked down at the scarf around his neck, and looked very happy: "Ga! ”
Saying goodbye to the green onion duck, Naoki returned home.
It's already November, the temperature is starting to get colder, and it feels like it's going to snow in a while.
Last winter he went to the Galel region in search of the Ray Crown, and this winter there wasn't anything special to do.
Therefore, Naoki plans to spend the whole winter at home with the Pokémon.
According to Naoki's understanding, the Pardean Alliance also took a holiday.
Qishu and Guruxia don't have to stay in the gym, they can use this time to travel outside, or return to their hometown to spend time with their families.
After cooling down, Naoki reopened the lava worm's ventilation ducts.
As the lava worm moves inside, the heating from it will drift down the pipes to every corner of the room, making the whole room warm.
The Ibrahims have a thick layer of fluff, and even in such cold weather, they are not affected in the slightest, and they are still having a good time outside.
In the living room, except for the Lei Guanwang who watched TV and his royal tea set to mourn the tea and the terror pot, only the motorcycle lizard, who was afraid of the cold, had been sleeping in front of the warm fireplace.
Naoki takes the ingredients out of the refrigerator and starts preparing lunch for the Pokémon.
He had other things to do in the afternoon, and Dr. Orin called him yesterday and said he was planning to visit the ranch this afternoon to see how life was going on in the outside world.
So, when Naoki finished his lunch and sat on the couch to replenish the black tea in the Teapot, Dr. Orin rushed to the ranch with Paipa.
After a long time, Paipa didn't seem to have changed, and he was still the same taciturn appearance as before.
Naoki greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see, Paipa!" ”
Paipa looked at him and politely replied, "Long time no see, Mr. Naoki." ”
My sister's housekeeper brought two cups of hot tea to Pipa and Dr. Orin.
Dr. Orin took a brief sip and couldn't wait to see what life was like on the ranch.
"Flutter Wings found that it should be over there in Kirby Beast Park." Naoki said as he stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you over!" ”
The two of them then got up and followed Naoki through the pasture.
On the way, Paipa looked left and right, and he suddenly noticed that there were many Pokémon missing from the ranch.
The mount goats were gone, and so was Oliva.
Seeing this, Paipa couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Naoki, where are the mount goats?" ”
"They?" Naoki replied, "They went to a warm place to spend the winter. ”
To be precise, I went to the World Tree in the Inverted World.
The current World Tree has grown tall and large enough to accommodate the mount goats and Oliva, even if there are a hundred more.
And reversing the perennial constant temperature of the world, the natural energy emitted by the World Tree is of great benefit to grass-type Pokémon.
Therefore, after the temperature dropped, Naoki sent them to the empty island where the World Tree was located to practice, and came back in the spring when the qi warmed up.
The entrance to the inverted world is in the lake in the pasture, so it is also convenient to milk the goats.
Hearing this, Paipa nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After crossing the river, the three of them came to Kirbymon Park.
After a few days, Dr. Orin finally saw that particular fluttering hair again.
At this moment, there are already a lot of Pokémon gathered in Kirbymon Park.
A group of Ievees are bouncing around Kirbymon's belly as a trampoline.
Zhen Yifa stayed alone on the slide, and curiously slid down the slide with his wing claws.
Seeing this, Dr. Orin's eyes lit up.
The ferocious Ancient Pokémon is playing on the slide, which is a very rare scene!
Naoki on the side told in detail what happened after he came to the ranch.
"In the beginning, Zhenyifa still retained the habits of ancient life, it would quietly go out to hunt at night, like to eat raw meat, and use its sharp teeth to bite the pieces of meat."
Dr. Orin nodded, this is the ecological habit of this Pokémon.
Influenced by the rampaging and primordial energy of the ancient era, all the ancient Pokémon from that era retained very primitive habits.
It's like a wild man described in some adventure books.
"Later, I introduced him to modern life, taught him what to do and what not to do, and in order to change his nocturnal habits, I gave him a refreshing coffee, and gradually, he slowly adapted to life in the pasture."
"Did you make any friends?" Dr. Orin asked.
Naoki thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Zhenyi still likes to be alone, and rarely spoils me like other Pokémon, but when I touch its head and help it comb its hair, it will also show an expression of enjoyment." ”
"The relationship between Zhenyifa and other Pokémon is quite good, and it likes to watch them play around from the side, but the best relationship with Zhenyifa is Soleton."
"I see." Dr. Orin nodded slightly, and she pulled out her camera and captured the precious footage of her fluttering wings playing on the slide.
Dr. Orin then stayed here and watched for a while before following Naoki back to the living room.
Paipa is very interested in the Pokémon in the ranch, so Naoki asks his brother to take him to see it.
He and Dr. Orin were chatting in the living room.
Dr. Orin took a sip of hot tea and said, "I always feel that this winter is very cold!" ”
Naoki smiled, "Are you and Dr. Futu planning to go back to the ground for the New Year this year?" ”
"It's not clear." Dr. Orin reflected on his research and continued, "It depends on whether the institute is busy, but if we can't come back, we'll take Paipa with us." ”
Naoki bowed slightly: "With you by my side, Paipa will definitely be very happy." ”
"Hmm." Dr. Orin nodded slightly, "That kid is the pride of me and Fortu, and next year, Pipa will go to Pardea Academy, and then he will be able to make more new friends there." ”
That way, Paipa won't feel lonely.
Hearing this, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Time flies!
When he first arrived, Paipa was a dull little kid, and now in the blink of an eye, Paipa was going to school.
I just don't know if Dr. Orin's expectations will be realized.
Because judging from the game, Pipa was still alone when he was studying at Padia Academy, and later the Mastiff Godfather was injured, and he also relied on his own strength to run around looking for a way to cure the Mastiff Godfather.
At that time, Paipa met the game's protagonist, and after an adventure to explore District 0 together, he became good friends with the game's protagonists, Nimo, and Peony.
Speaking of time, Naoki suddenly became a little curious about the time machine in Area 0.
As far as he knew, with the current technology of the Pokémon world, it was impossible to create a time machine, after all, time travel was the ability of Dialuka and Paloki.
"Doctor, is the Time Machine in Area 0 really capable of time travel?" Naoki asked curiously.
Dr. Orin bowed slightly, "Of course, it is by virtue of its power that we have summoned so many ancient and future Pokémon to the present era. ”
"Doesn't that mean that humanity can now go to the distant past and future through a time machine to explore?" Naoki asked.
"About this ......" Dr. Orin thought for a moment, then replied, "Truth be told, we don't know the specific time yet, and we can't locate a precise point in time, so we can only call Pokémon from an approximate time period." ”
"As for traveling back in time to explore ......" As a PhD, Olimbo has done a lot of research in this area.
She organized her language a little before she spoke, "Although it was my dream and that Fotu to go and see that era with our own eyes, we didn't plan to do that. ”
"Why?" Naoki asked.
Dr. Orin looked at him and asked, "I wonder if you've heard of the time paradox, which is the time travel or travel through time and space that leads to conflicting conclusions. ”
"Moreover, time is a developing line, everything you do has a cause and effect, if you have done something in the past that has changed history, then everything in the future will change with it, and you will never be able to go back to the time and space you are familiar with."
Naoki's eyes darkened when he listened.
Dr. Orin continued, "In the past, some scientists have made various hypotheses to solve the time paradox. ”
For example, the more popular "parallel universe" hypothesis, some scientists believe that our world has many similar clone worlds in the universe. ”
"And when someone goes back to the past, he enters another parallel world, that is, the world where the future has been changed by his actions, and the side world collapses and disappears because at a certain moment, it may be the moment when you yourself return to the past."
Naoki: "I don't understand ......" at all!
Seeing the expression on his face, Dr. Orin couldn't help but laugh and said, "All in all, if you play with time, time will play with you, and some established facts can't be changed at all. ”
"If you force change, then everything in the future will collapse because of what you do, and all the people, Pokémon and things you know will be affected by the butterfly effect and change again."
"For example, if someone in the future travels back in time to prevent their grandmother and grandfather from getting married, then that person in the future will disappear with him and never appear."
“…… It's complicated. ”
Looking at Dr. Orin in front of him, Naoki couldn't help but curse in his heart: So the ending of the two doctors in the game dying in the research is also the consequence of playing with time?
He had previously tried to change the fate of Dr. Orin and Dr. Fortu, but he didn't know if he had succeeded.
Dr. Orin sat for a moment before preparing to leave.
There's still something to attend to at the Institute, and she's going to take Paipa to District 0 with her.
If there is no time at that time, then their family of three will spend the New Year there.
Seeing this, Naoki got up to see the two off.
"Stay safe!" He said.
Dr. Orin smiled as he disappeared down the country road with Paipa in tow.
Naoki returned to the living room, only to see the motorcycle lizard there with a confused face and didn't know what to think.
Naoki raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?" What are you thinking? ”
"Quack." The motorcycle lizard replied.
Lei Guanwang casually helped translate a sentence, and it turned out that the motorcycle lizard was stunned by Dr. Orin's time paradox.
The motorcycle lizard asked, "Quack?" (Does Naoki know what that means?) )
Naoki thought about it carefully, and then thought about it in detail, and the motorcycle lizard explained what he understood.
"For example, I used to have mom and dad too, right?"
The motorcycle lizard nodded, everyone, every Pokémon has a mom and dad.
"If someone goes back in time and prevents my mom and dad from falling in love at that time, then I will never be born again, and now I will also be affected and disappear with me, this should be the butterfly effect...... That's what Dr. Orin said. ”
But Naoki is a little unsure, after all, this world has the existence of the god of time, and some of the scientific theories in his previous life cannot be established in this magical Pokémon world.
The motorcycle lizard didn't seem to understand.
Naoki was about to say something, but the video phone at home suddenly rang.
Naoki stepped forward to connect, and he heard Mei's voice from the phone.
Xiaomei, the granddaughter of the owner of the Pokémon ranch shop in town.
"Is Naoki-san at home?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Naoki asked.
Xiaomei replied: "That's right, the day before yesterday, my grandfather met an injured tropical dragon in the jungle in the wild, and the tropical dragon was supposed to fly to the south for the winter, but its wings were injured and couldn't fly. ”
"Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is about to snow, although its injuries have healed, but it is no longer possible to set off for the south at this time, so Grandpa plans to help the tropical dragon find a trainer to help take care of it, you see if you have time."
