Now reading: Chapter 509 - 507 from Master Craftsman of the Pokémon World, a Adventure novel by Zaelum.

Deep within the Area Zero Research Lab, in the room where the ti machine stood.

The Sada AI, hijacked by the Battle Program, was standing in front of the ti machine and "conversing" with a Pokémon that was tal from head to toe, like a bull carved from iron and stone.

Iron Boulder, the future Paradox form of Terrakion. A posture born after it had been modified by an evil organization.

It was also one of the driving forces behind this hijacking incident.

The wrong ti, the wrong place, the wrong Pokémon. With three wrong factors lining up, Iron Boulder, carrying a mad ideology, had been transmitted here.

Iron Boulder's voice was frigid:

[The Poké Ball Locking Program must be activated imdiately!]

[Things are developing differently from what we predicted. The Ancient Paradox Pokémon we sent out, not a single one completed its mission.]

[Of course, the violent ancient variants have no intelligence. They are only causing chaos with raw power and instinct.]

[However, the enemy possesses the ability to defeat the Iron Bundle units and Iron Treads. According to the data you provided, only a small number of people in this era should have that kind of capability. Yet this intruder not only has the highest level of authority, there is not even any corresponding data for them.]

The Battle Program's tone, on the other hand, was a little unhinged:

[After analyzing battles against the Champions of the Paldea region, I was created. I am the invincible AI!]

[Anyone who gets in my way, I will defeat them!]

Iron Boulder neither agreed nor disagreed with that answer.

In its eyes, this so-called Battle Program was still sowhat weak.

If they could not activate the final Paradise Defense Program, then it likely would not be able to defeat these intruders.

[Originally, once the four locks outside the research lab were undone, it should have been the perfect mont to release the Future Legion.]

[However, the intruders' strength exceeded expectations, and there were more Pokémon attacking the facility than anticipated. In that case, even though the lab's main gate has been opened, I cannot dispatch the Future Legion at all.]

[That's right. No one can stop the arrival of Paradise. In this old era, we will complete the great feat of the Future Legion conquering the world!]

[To reach the ti machine's location, one must ride the elevator. However, the elevator cannot allow large-bodied Pokémon to pass through.]

[If we keep the ti machine active and continuously transfer Pokémon, we may be able to defeat the invading enemies.]

Every so often, even Iron Boulder felt a hint of doubt.

Its original plan had been to keep the ti machine running, to finish a "task" that had not been completed in the future. That was to assist a certain organization in conquering the world.

But at so point, confused thoughts would occasionally flash through its mind. What was the point of doing this? If it rebuilt the organization in this era, what would it even need?

That was Terrakion's heart, the compassion left behind by the original Sacred Swordsman. Yet for a future variant, what it needed least was exactly that.

[We are cold, unfeeling combat machines. The purpose of our birth is conquest alone. The future Pokémon legion will control the past and forge a new Paradise.]

[Humans are foolish. They fantasize that Ancient Pokémon, future Pokémon, and the Pokémon of this era can coexist. That is impossible.]

[The ancient carry primal savagery. The future carry cold, rciless cruelty.]

[I need not change anything. The human Professor's arrogance and dreams alone are enough to ruin this era. What I have done is rely maintain her wishes, endorse her, and keep the ti machine running continuously.]

[During the process of hacking the ti machine, I have fully understood its manufacturing technology. However, this machine is ultimately an incomplete, defective product.]

[Human ambition does not vanish. I originally thought I would need to seize control by force, but I did not expect the ti machine to contain multiple defensive asures.]

That was correct.

In truth, Iron Boulder had not expected that it would barely need to do anything at all.

Professor Sada's own ambition was enough to drive everything to completion.

It had rely watched the situation with icy detachnt, then manually switched the system so the Battle Program would seize control of the AI Professor.

The Sada AI entered sleep mode, the Battle Program activated, and the thing that set all of this in motion was the Violet Book!

Whether the Scarlet Book or the Violet Book was placed on the ti machine, it would trigger an abnormal shutdown and then start the Battle Program.

In the past, a human nad Turo had arrogantly believed he could control it.

That was nothing but delusion. The outco was simply that Iron Boulder learned part of Turo's technology, though that Professor had also left behind a small failsafe.

[That is, other future variants that are incorrect, that do not obey my commands, have appeared here.]

[Iron Crown, Iron Leaves. The legendary Sacred Swordsn actually turning on each other. If we discard our identity as weapons, if we cannot beco living lifeforms, then what are we left with?]

[The three Sacred Swordsn have no future, because they entrusted the future to Keldeo. Therefore we can only be weapons.]

[Then, let battle begin. Every future variant ant to stop you has already been defeated.]

Iron Boulder looked toward the room's main door. The elevator doors opened, and Hikaru stepped out with only smaller Pokémon at his side. Large Pokémon were indeed absent.

[To make it here deserves praise. But with only what you have in front of you, there is no way you can defeat us.]

[The core defensive power of Paradise has not yet truly revealed itself. The mont you stepped into this research lab, your Poké Balls were completely locked!]

Iron Boulder glanced at Iron Crown and Iron Leaves. It said nothing. Its cold, unfeeling combat logic left it with no desire to exchange words.

But Iron Crown still spoke, sending it a ssage:

[Your plan to build Paradise here and rebuild that organization is dood to fail. In fact, even if you conquer this region, you will gain nothing.]

Iron Boulder: [That is not sothing I consider. I am only carrying out my mission.]

Iron Crown: [We were designed as weapons, but we are no longer weapons. We are living beings that can continue to exist. The cold steel shell is only the surface. In truth, we are also a kind of Pokémon.]

Iron Boulder: [Enough!]

It squared off against Iron Crown and Iron Leaves.

With a thunderous rumbling, the ti machine mounted on the ceiling of the room began to roar and spin!

"This thing really is more ridiculous than the Unova ti machine."

"Just the size alone is I don't know how many tis bigger. It's even larger than ti machines in movies."

Hikaru stared, genuinely shaken, as the ground rose up into a cone-shaped platform. The design alone carried an oppressive presence.

The Sada AI hijacked by the Battle Program stood at the very top of that platform.

Then she repeated the sa crazed lines as before:

[Whoever gets in my way, I'll kill them!]

[My data is flawless. Can the human brain keep up!]

Hikaru: "The human brain really can't keep up, but that's referring to you as an AI. If it's just a Battle Program, you're nothing more than a third-rate fighter who only knows how to bully with levels."

Arven looked up, frightened and confused:

"Is that… is that my second mom?"

"Boss, you said my mom got hijacked by the Battle Program. Is this what you ant? If we beat her, will she return to normal?"

Hikaru raised two fingers in a peace sign.

"No. We have to win twice."

"After the Battle Program is defeated, there's still the Paradise Defense Program. Your mom doesn't want the ti machine shut down. That part is real. It's not Iron Boulder's doing."

"To create Paradise, she was willing to sacrifice her life. She spent her entire life on this research, and the result is this enormous ti machine. To prevent it from being shut down, she set multiple layers of defense."

"For example, the Poké Ball Locking Program."

"That's why I had you keep Mabosstiff and Garganacl by your side. Also Chansey."

"Lucky?!" The Chansey Arven had only recently caught didn't even understand why it was suddenly in a mont like this.

The battles outside had been the sa.

It had completely blown Chansey's mind.

Well, anyway, being brought out ant she was here to heal stamina, right?

Hikaru: "No. Get ready for Serene Grace Rock Slide."

"Lucky!"

Chansey recoiled in horror, pointing at her own face in disbelief.

Ah. So I'm actually in the battle lineup?!

"You've got Serene Grace. I'll set up Rainbow Terrain for you. That way, Rock Slide's additional effect will keep doubling!"

"Infinite flinches. Let this Battle Program see what modern Pokémon can really do!"

"Uh, and there's one more thing."

Hikaru took out four Master Balls.

"The Poké Ball Locking Program doesn't really matter to . I've seen this kind of thing before. Area Zero's defenses are indeed thoroughly prepared."

"But I also have Poké Balls with a certified ID."

These four Master Balls were the Poké Balls of the Treasures of Ruin, and they were part of the reward the Sada AI had given him.

[What?! Master Balls with Professor Sada's ID? Where did you get those?!]

Iron Boulder, still facing off with Iron Crown and Iron Leaves, was visibly startled.

And what ca out of those Master Balls were, naturally, the four Treasures of Ruin.

But Hikaru only released two, BaoBao and Super Moose.

Hikaru: "So-called Poké Ball locking tech is similar to future-style locking. It uses a special radio signal to seal Poké Balls, and even with high-end hacking, you still can't remove it."

This was sothing Penny had said in the original storyline, claiming "even hacking is useless," though at the ti she had been panicking and running around.

Besides, just because Penny couldn't break it didn't an it truly couldn't be broken. At the very least, Hikaru felt that if it were Cyrus doing the hacking, that would be a different story.

Hikaru: "There are three situations where this program stops working!"

"First, Poké Balls that match the correct ID."

"Second, defeat you, the Battle Program."

"Third, Poké Balls outside the Poké Ball Locking Program's recognition!"

"BaoBao, go. Take it out!"

Chien-Pao: "Guao!"

Opening move: Haze!

The Battle Program's body swayed unnaturally. Above, the massive ti machine continued to rumble as it spun.

At the sa ti, just like in the story, a Master Ball was transmitted in from another tiline, capturing a new Paradox Pokémon.

Then the Battle Program sent it out.

A level 66 Slither Wing!

Facing this massive Slither Wing, BaoBao didn't even bother giving it a proper look.

I, BaoBao, have gone through cruel special training. I'm not who I used to be!

Let show you what it ans to be the Ancient Paldea god who commands absolute zero!

"BaoBao, use Sheer Cold!"

"Hah!"

A colossal blast of frost and snow erupted. A freezing storm struck Slither Wing head-on, instantly dropping it.

A one-hit KO.

[What?!]

The Battle Program clearly hadn't expected this. She stared at the defeated Slither Wing. That loss was way too fast!

Then the second one.

Hikaru: "You really are rigid in battle. You even follow the 'level 66 singles' rules. Is that part of your programming?"

Hikaru felt that having Ting-Lu simply use Fissure to smash the platform and send the Professor plunging off would be better.

But then again, the AI Professor's body didn't seem particularly sturdy. When the Battle Program was beaten before, she had smoked and glitched. At that ti, her condition had clearly been bad.

"In that case, we'll save this 'Assault' for when the Paradise Defense Program takes the field."

Hikaru glanced at Palafin beside him, muttering to it in a low voice for a few seconds.

Palafin nodded.

"Man!"

Leave it to the successful man. This is on !

The Battle Program's second Pokémon was Scream Tail, also level 66, but…

Hikaru: "That Scream Tail looks huge, but you know it only weighs 8 kilograms?"

[What?] The Battle Program froze.

Then she heard Hikaru's command.

"Super Moose, use Superpower, then Heavy Slam!"

A 700-kilogram Ting-Lu slamming into an 8-kilogram Scream Tail.

The hit sent that devilish fat Jigglypuff flying, crashing into the far wall with a boom and losing the ability to battle.

"Double weakness to Steel, plus the massive weight gap. A Pokémon battle can be decided in an instant."

Battle Program: [Don't look down on ! I'm a program loaded with the data of every Champion Trainer in Paldea. Even if I don't have your data, I can't possibly lose!]

This ti, she sent out two Pokémon at once.

"Singles turned into doubles. That's fine too!"

Hikaru looked at what she threw out. One was Brute Bonnet.

One look at the mushroom: confird inferior to Amoonguss. Evolve into the modern form before you co back.

"Chansey." Hikaru looked at the still-dazed Chansey and gave Arven a look. "This one's yours!"

"Got it!" Arven looked at Brute Bonnet. It didn't seem that different from the fodder Brute Bonnet outside, other than being bigger.

And among Ancient Paradox Pokémon, this thing was bottom tier, right?

Then even I have a chance!

Arven saw Hikaru pull out a strange device. Imdiately after, a gorgeous rainbow shimred across the room's "sky."

One of the field effects applied: Rainbow.

In Rainbow Terrain, the chance of added effects from moves is multiplied by 2.

Serene Grace and Rainbow can stack!

"Chansey, Rock Slide!"

Brute Bonnet hadn't even processed what was happening. It was still in its "ti to massacre everything" phase, and then got pelted into a daze by a cascade of falling rocks!

Additional effect: flinch! The big mushroom locked up, unable to move. Then, naturally, it ate another Rock Slide!

anwhile, the Pokémon Hikaru faced was, of course, Flutter Mane.

But this Flutter Mane looked a little familiar?!

"Hababababa?!"

This Flutter Mane was enormous, even bigger than the Brute Bonnet beside it. It was a Titan Pokémon!

And, as expected…

"Hah?"

"Hah!"

"Hababababa!"

Long ti no see!

It's been ages, you bastard who showed up in the past and made suffer the greatest humiliation of my life. I didn't think I'd ever see you again!

So, naturally, that rock-headed immortal ancient dragon is with you too, right?

The one burned into my mory. This ti, I'm going to beat you to your knees and drag you back to my nest to raise you!

The Titan Flutter Mane ground its teeth, then seed to think of sothing else and started cackling, heh heh heh.

"It's the Flutter Mane we ran into before."

"Aerodactyl's nesis, the one Walking Wake and Raging Bolt saw…?"

Inside the Nest Ball, Aerodactyl also saw it, slling the scent of its nesis.

No doubt about it. That bratty little female's scent!

How is she here? What is going on?

Wasn't she already taken out?

A dead one showing up again.

No, wait. I'm dead too.

And she died too.

Aerodactyl's eyes widened. The two sharp protrusions on its head looked even sharper, and its expression turned deadly serious as it pondered the aning of dragon life inside the ball.

Walking Wake roared, snapping Aerodactyl out of its ntal spiral and making it turn its head.

Huh? You're her nesis too?

Walking Wake huffed. It recognized this Flutter Mane as the one that had fought it for food before.

Co to think of it, there was more than one Pokémon that had her as an enemy. There was another one. Another really powerful one!

Rumble.

A faint sound of thunder seed to echo in this room.

"Oh, what a coincidence. But the ti you live in and the ti she lives in…"

"Uh, forget it. It's probably fine. As a Ghost and Fairy dual type, Flutter Mane's lifespan is basically close to infinite anyway."

"So, have you seen a blue dragon?" Hikaru looked at Flutter Mane.

Ghost types are long-lived. That needed no explanation. It's hard for a dead Pokémon to die again, and only certain Ghost Pokémon with physical bodies are prone to "running out" of lifespan.

Even so, if they run out, they just go from being a Pokémon to becoming an actual ghost. That's not much of a change.

Add Fairy on top, and it gets ridiculous.

One of Fairy's associated elents is longevity. After all, they're fairy-like creatures from myth and legend. A ghost plus a fairy. That kind of lifeform could probably last until the world ends.

So during a long wandering life, it was perfectly normal for Flutter Mane to have encountered Walking Wake, Raging Bolt, and Aerodactyl, and fought with them.

The ti machine was constantly transferring Ancient Paradox Pokémon. A few enemies ending up in the sa place was not surprising.

Besides, as a Fairy type, and an extrely powerful ancient Fairy at that, one of Flutter Mane's prey is "dragons."

"Heh heh heh, hababa~"

She toyed with her wings. For her, the ti she t Walking Wake was so ancient that she didn't rember it at all.

Still, in her mory, there had been lightning. That lightning, she rembered.

Hikaru: "Wow. This kind of relationship really is complicated."

The Titan Flutter Mane sized up Hikaru, laughing like victory was already hers.

What a lucky break!

Heh heh, this ti I'll drag him back to my nest. I'll definitely be able to raise so high-quality…

And in the very next instant.

Armarouge, who had been about to step up, was held back.

Iron Valiant, blinking its pixel-like eyes, looked at that bratty Titan Flutter Mane.
