Pokémon: Master System

The ground in Zone Zero is a lush green meadow, giving people a warm feeling of spring all year round.

The sound of the waterfall came from not far away, roaring and rushing down the winding, deep pit, plunging into the depths of Zone Zero.

The Noisy Dragon slowly descended onto the flat ground on the upper level of Zone Zero. Xia Yu leaped onto the platform from the Noisy Dragon's back, carefully looked around, and then looked up at the sky.

Thick fog obscured Xia Yu's vision, creating a dull and oppressive atmosphere.

"Ding... Quest triggered: [Padia]"

The long-awaited system notification sounded, leaving Xia Yu stunned on the spot.

"【Padia】: You have successfully activated the Padia Secret Realm and entered the Padia Giant Pit. The Padia Giant Pit is divided into the upper, middle, lower, and bottom layers, as well as the Zero Great Void. This is the origin of the Crystallized and Paradox Pokémon. It is said that the legendary Crystallized Pokémon, Talebagos, sleeps here."

"Mission 1: [Master Pokémon] You need to find five special areas in the Padia Secret Realm, defeat them, and gain the approval of the five Master Pokémon."

"The Rocky Cliff's Treasure Master, Hairy Shore Crab. (Incomplete)"

"The Treasure Master of the Sky Descends the Stone Bird. (Incomplete)"

"The main driver of the Qiangangbao project is a worm. (Incomplete)"

"The earth shakes, the treasure lord stands majestically, with iron tracks. (Incomplete)"

"The False Dragon Master devours Houba and Mililong. (Incomplete)"

"Rewards: You will receive a Silver Crown for each Master Pokémon you defeat. After defeating all Master Pokémon, you will receive a Golden Crown and a clue to the quest 'Treasure of Calamity'."

Side Quest: [Treasures of Calamity] You need to find 32 sealed stakes. After removing all the sealed stakes, you can unlock all the treasures of calamity (8 stakes correspond to one calamity Pokémon). After the seal is broken, the shrine corresponding to each calamity Pokémon will appear. Go to the shrine to battle the four calamity Pokémon.

"Task 2: [Winged King and Iron Serpent] (Unlocked after completing Task 1 [Master Pokémon])"

"Mission 3: [Talebagos] (Unlocked after completing Mission 2 [Winged King and Iron Serpent])."

…………

So many tasks?

Xia Yu stood there, looking at the three main quests and one side quest issued by the system, his brows furrowed slightly.

He truly hadn't expected that after he entered Zone Zero, the system would issue so many tasks at once.

Of course, all of these tasks must be completed first, the first task, "Master Pokémon," before the subsequent tasks can be unlocked.

Xia Yu was familiar with the Pokémon that appeared in the first mission, as it was a setting from the Pokémon games in his previous life.

In the game, these five starter Pokémon aren't considered too difficult to deal with; they're relatively easy to handle. However, in reality, it might not be so easy.

Based on the Pokémon encountered in the Padia region, Xia Yu conservatively estimates that these Pokémon Masters are at least Master level. As for whether they could be pseudo-legendary level, Xia Yu thinks it's unlikely.

However, what Xia Yu found somewhat troublesome was that Team Rocket had not yet discovered a single starter Pokémon.

Team Rocket had practically explored the entire Padilla region, even scanning and mapping it, yet they hadn't found a single Pokémon that had been summoned by the starter Pokémon.

This can only mean one thing: these Pokémon live in very secluded and special areas.

After carefully reading the first task, Xia Yu turned his attention to the remaining tasks.

The side quests are quite easy to understand and can be ignored for now. The remaining two quests, "Winged King and Iron Serpent," clearly refer to the two legendary Pokémon, Gullion and Milton. However, it's important to know that while Gullion and Milton are both legendary Pokémon in the game, they both belong to different groups.

One represents the ancient species of the past, and the other represents the future species of the future.

It is unknown whether the Guleton and Milton ethnic groups exist in reality.

As for the final quest, "Talebagas," it refers to Talebagas, the source of the Taijing, but the specific quest details are currently unavailable.

…………

After pondering for a while, Xia Yu took a deep breath, temporarily putting the system's task out of his mind, and decided to explore the Zero Zone in front of him first.

"Sonic Dragon, come back."

Xia Yu recalled Noivern into its Poké Ball, then released Iron Dancer and Greninja, preparing to venture deeper into Sector Zero.

The area of ​​Zone Zero in reality is much larger than that in the game. At least Xia Yu, who is standing on the platform right now, cannot see the end of Zone Zero at all.

Xia Yu, along with the Iron Warrior and Greninja, walked along the winding platform, searching for a way to penetrate deeper into Sector Zero.

As you continue deeper into the lush green platform, the once dense grass becomes even more lush and eerie, with moss emitting a faint blue glow climbing all over the rock walls and tiny golden spores floating in the air.

At the same time, Xia Yu began to see some ancient, azure trees encased in crystal, radiating a dazzling crystal light in the dark underground.

These eerie blue trees are like crystallized trees, with not only their trunks covered in dazzling blue crystals, but also their branches and leaves, all coated with a layer of azure crystals, creating a dazzling and colorful spectacle.

Xia Yu paused in front of these crystal blue trees, observed them carefully for a moment, and then chose to continue to go deeper underground. As he went forward, Xia Yu encountered many Pokémon, from the common Pokémon Babuto to Paradox Pokémon, including some pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Tyranitar, Dragapult, Garchomp...

These pseudo-legendary Pokémon, which are extremely rare in the outside world, have become common in Zone 0, and their potential is all at or above the Champion level.

This greatly tempted Xia Yu, who wanted to capture all these Pokémon and take them all away to benefit Team Rocket and his apprentice, helping them improve their strength.

However, after thinking it over, Xia Yu finally suppressed the impulsive thought in his heart.

Anyway, these Pokémon have always been here, so there's no rush. I'll focus on the important matter first and continue deeper into Zone Zero. There are definitely more Pokémon with higher potential waiting for me down there.

There might even be other bizarre Pokémon like Flareon, Ripple, Thunder Drum, Ironhead, Ironleaf, and Ironrock!

Xia Yu, along with Iron Warrior and the fashionista Greninja, carefully avoided the Pokémon and slowly made their way down to the bottom of Zone Zero.

The Pokémon along the way, upon discovering Xia Yu, Iron Warrior, and Greninja, all looked at Xia Yu and the fashionista Greninja with strange eyes, their eyes filled with doubt. Clearly, they had never seen a human or a Pokémon like Greninja before.

As for the Iron Warriors, these Pokémon didn't react at all, since quite a few Iron Warriors live in Sector Zero.

Xia Yu continued downwards for about ten minutes when suddenly an invisible pressure surged forth like a tidal wave!
