Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 117 The Paradox of Being Born: I'm Sorry

Qi Hao stroked his chin, pondering with Kyurem, while Li Lingkong kept giving instructions to Li Linfeng.

"Hmm... never mind, we'll find out what happened later." Kyurem said and then disappeared. In the endless expanse of time, this little thing was not enough to make him make a fuss.

"Indeed, after all, the senior lived more than four hundred years ago. It's impossible to find him now; he's probably not even a remnant of his ashes. We can only wait until we become strong enough, and then we'll find out." Qi Hao sighed. He wasn't even a Heavenly King yet.

"Just a friendly reminder, your senior hasn't sent it yet. He also has a system, and he's doing very well in the Xicui region. He's traveled through time, so it's just that he doesn't want to come back yet, and it's not suitable for him to come back."

[Don't you want to come back? Why?] Qi Hao had some doubts. Theoretically, shouldn't the senior be able to come back whenever he wanted?

"Only one system can exist in the same world at any given time. If special circumstances arise, they will severely restrict the other system. Therefore, if your senior were to return, he would be restricted because of me."

[Only one? Is this the rule in your system?]

"Yes, because my priority is the highest in this timeline, I won't be restricted, but other systems will be severely restricted. This is why there are generally no two system owners in a single world."

This explains why the predecessors didn't return; as long as they are in different time periods within the same world, the system will not restrict each other.

[Wait a minute? Then why did you do it to me?]

"Um, I... um, can I not say?"

[(???)cannot!]

"(???) Don't be angry, okay? It's because I chose the wrong host for my graduation exam. It was supposed to be an easy exam, but I picked you, a high-difficulty host. However, my priority is higher in this world, so you'll have to go wash the greenery."

[(╯＞д＜)╯?˙^˙? I got shot because you're incompetent, huh?! I'll kill you! I~+@*·…~] Qi Hao's defenses have been completely breached this time. He was actually executed in his past life because of a system error!

"(*?????) Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! That's why I said you're a high-risk host! How did you even manage to hit me?! This doesn't make sense!"

[(°ー°〃) Huh? How did you hit it?] Qi Hao realized what was happening, and then tried to do it the same way as before, but this time he couldn't hit it again.

Qi Hao is too easily distracted; otherwise, the system would have been in serious trouble just now.

After chatting with the system for so long, it wasn't until Motor Lizard's question that Qi Hao was brought back to reality: "Young man, you've been standing here for so long, could you spare a moment to chat with me?"

Qi Hao nodded, indeed having important business to attend to, and pointed to a corner to the side: "Oh, perfect, I also want to ask something."

Reaching the corner, Motor Lizard finally couldn't hold back and looked at Qi Hao with an anxious expression.

"How is the Science and Technology City doing! What will become of my future!" He grabbed Qi Hao's shoulder, his expression anxious as if Qi Hao were his lifeline.

"Stop, stop, stop! I'm not from the Science and Technology City!" Qi Hao pushed him away, trying to calm him down.

"Impossible! Although I've never seen one before, that one you just saw was definitely a Paradox! And it was made entirely of iron, a high-tech blob, you must be from Tech City!" Motor Lizard stated his deduction. Although he had never seen one before, who knew if the number of Paradox Pokémon might increase?

Qi Hao had no choice but to release Yi Yi You: "Look, that creature's true form is an Eevee, not some Paradoxical Pokémon."

"Bu? (What paradoxical elf?)" Yi Yi tilted her head. How was the Sky Thunder a paradox?

Motor Lizard quickly circled around Yi Yi a few times: "That's impossible. Let that thing out so I can see it. I'll definitely know what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi had no choice but to release the Sky Thunder, along with a few newly renovated ships.

Motor Lizard was a little confused by the Sky Thunder before him after just one glance: "This thing does have an aura of paradox, and it's extremely heavy, but this kind of aura should only appear on elves."

Qi Hao listened attentively and asked curiously, "How exactly is a paradox defined?"

"The definition of a paradox?" This question stumped Moto Lizard, but he still had some understanding of it: "A paradox is a seemingly correct but self-contradictory and illogical argument, proposition, or event that creates doubt and confusion."

"Then take a look at this?" Qi Hao released Xiao Tie, allowing Xiao Tie to evolve in place using its bond ability.

"How come this is here too?" In the Motor Lizard's vision, both the White Ape and the Sky Thunder were glowing with purple light, which was the very essence of paradox.

"What about these two?" Qi Hao released A Ren and Lao Qian.

They could hear clearly from inside the Poké Ball: A-Ren attached himself directly to Qi-Hao, while Old Man Claw threw a punch, setting himself ablaze.

Judging from the current situation, anyone who didn't know better would think that Qi Hao was going to gang up on someone.

"What, what, what's going on? The paradox appeared when that ghostly sprite possessed it, and when the Scizor started burning." Motorlizard was dumbfounded; all of them exuded the aura of paradox!

Qihao and Aren separated again: "I think I understand a little bit now. The form of the Bond Evolution originated from our shared imagination at that time, while Old Claw's flames were because his body responded to his will."

"And the Sky Thunder, it originated from human imagination." Qi Hao explained clearly, "Things that arise from thoughts and desires, and are inherently irrational, will possess the so-called paradoxical aura."

“Because of thoughts…and desires…” After saying this, the Motor Lizard became somewhat emo, and the entire dragon seemed a little depressed.

The motorcycle lizard paused for a moment, then took out something from its body, something like a capsule, yellow at both ends, with a transparent glass in the middle containing a purple color like the starry sky.

If Qi Hao is not mistaken, this should be driving force energy.

"This thing has been with me since I became conscious. I can't use it, but ever since I got it, I've been able to see the paradoxes of this world." Motor Lizard said, sitting on the edge of the rooftop, holding the thing.

“Look over there, isn’t that a patch of yellow earth? That’s the direction of the ancient city. There’s a me there, a past me, but I have no memory of that past.” Motor Lizard said. Qi Hao looked in the direction he was pointing. Compared to the surrounding skyscrapers, there was almost nothing there, because he was at a very high place.

"Look over there again, that's the direction of the Science and Technology City." He gestured, and Qi Hao looked in the direction he was pointing. From this height, he could barely make out a patch of black city.

“I can sense that there is another me there, a future me, but I don’t know why there is, and I’ve never even been there. I feel like I know everything, and yet I know nothing,” Motor Lizard said, his tone tinged with despondency, his past seemingly filled with confusion.

Finally, he looked at Qi Hao and said, "If only my level weren't so high, I could have a trainer too, and I wouldn't have to worry about knowing so many unclear things."

As he spoke, he pried open the tiles on the floor, revealing dozens of severed tails inside. He picked up the severed tails, and they gradually merged into his body.

His level directly surpassed the champion's limit! Level 90! Level 91! And it kept rising until it reached level 99! The paradox surrounding him materialized! A red figure and a purple figure continuously intertwined around him!

It's Gulliverton and Milerton!

But this motorcycle lizard wasn't particularly imposing; the figure behind it didn't affect Qi Hao at all. All Qi Hao could see in it was endless confusion.

"Need a trainer? That's what I do." Qi Hao sat down next to him without hesitation. The almost tangible aura around him had no effect on Qi Hao.

These unexpected words left Motor Lizard somewhat bewildered. Perhaps your father is strong, but isn't it a bit excessive for you to directly try to subdue the peak of the sect leader?

"Maybe I'm not qualified right now, but are you willing to wait?" Qi Hao's tone was sincere. What stood before him was not some peak sect leader, but merely a little sprite who couldn't find its way in the future.

However, before Qi Hao could get an answer, a metal hand grabbed him from the edge of the rooftop: "Holy crap! How come the top ten floors are taller than the forty floors below combined?!"
