Chapter 1013: Ah! Palafin!

~14 min read 2,617 words

Morning.

All Baimu was wandering around aimlessly.

The Drakloak sister was perched on top of his head, taking the lead on where they were headed.

"Hee-ya!"

"You want ice cream? Alright then."

He bought two mini ice-cream-shaped ice creams, handed one to the Drakloak sister, and ate the other himself. "Let's get this straight: don't drip it on my head."

"Hee-ya~"

The Drakloak sister gave her word.

One human and one dragon sat on a roadside bench, licking away.

Even after so much time had passed, she was still that same glutton who had returned All Baimu's trust after being fed just one bowl of rice.

She always pretended to be mature in front of her younger brother, but she would unconsciously reveal her lively nature.

What a cute little thing.

All Baimu used his finger to wipe away the milk stain overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and a nervous, awkward, yet pleasantly surprised whisper reached his ears.

"E-excuse me, are you the Champion?"

"If the Champion you're talking about is All Baimu, then that's indeed me."

He turned his head and said.

The teenagers were incredibly excited, scrambling to ask All Baimu for his autograph.

And this scene had already happened several times this morning.

In Levincia, this international commercial metropolis, more people recognized him than he had imagined.

On one hand, All Baimu's fame was truly great now, great enough that Iono had recognized him last night; on the other hand, it had to do with the teaser Iono had posted late last night.

She had released a few silhouettes in the video, claiming she had invited a special guest to visit her channel.

Among them, the human figure was slightly abstract and hard to distinguish, while the Pokémon silhouette was relatively "clear."

The comment section went wild with guesses, and as expected, they guessed him.

And so.

The local fans in Levincia came looking for him.

"We'll be looking forward to tonight's show!"

The teenagers bowed and thanked him repeatedly before running off, laughing and joking.

All Baimu took his ice cream back from the Drakloak sister's claws, even though nearly half of it had been sneakily nibbled away, and said, "It's a bit hard to play the pig to eat the tiger these days."

"Hee-ya~"

The Drakloak sister let out a burp; the one-and-a-half ice creams were almost as big as her body.

She lazily sprawled out, her body rubbing against her Trainer's hair as she stretched to her heart's content.

She hadn't felt it before.

Only now did she realize how wonderful it was to monopolize her Trainer.

"..."

All Baimu silently finished his ice cream, his thoughts flying everywhere.

There were too many people online.

And the number of regional Champions was too small; Kanto and Johto even shared one.

A slightly normal Trainer wouldn't necessarily memorize the entire move list, but they would certainly know their Champions like the back of their hand.

Hmm...

Except for Ash.

A classic blank slate traveling the world.

The main reason All Baimu didn't want to be recognized was that it was too troublesome to be blocked for autographs and photos every few steps.

It was time to activate the Breath-Concealing skill!

The special technique he had learned from a simulated memory nearly half a year ago was only now coming in handy.

He wondered how effective it would be.

He put on a mask and headed toward the city center, his footsteps moving through the crowd like a ghost.

His sensitivity to gazes allowed him to verify the ability of Breath-Concealing.

As long as he didn't actively bump into someone's field of vision, walking past them wouldn't attract their attention at all.

As expected of a ninja!

All Baimu deeply felt that if the ninja path hadn't gone astray, there might be one more master thief in the world.

At the very least, one on the level of Kid.

Meanwhile.

East Province (Area Two) wilderness.

An off-road jeep was approaching Levincia.

A teenage girl with a ponytail and a strand of green hair falling over her forehead stood up, looking forward to the city in the distance with anticipation.

"Nemona, it's dangerous, come down quickly."

The person driving was an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in an orange suit, with a gentle and scholarly temperament.

The girl laughed, "Sorry! But I'm just so excited!"

"Paw-mo!"

Beside her, a rather large Pawmot called out as well.

This pair of old and young was undoubtedly Clavell, the Director of Naranja Academy, and Nemona, the Student Council President.

The two had traveled thousands of miles to Levincia.

It mainly had to do with a certain student who had enrolled this year.

Normally, the Director and Student Council President wouldn't pay attention to the specific list of students enrolled that year; that was the job of the school's admissions office.

Unfortunately, neither of them was a normal person.

Clavell was determined to close the distance with students and wanted to deeply understand their true hearts; Nemona loved the strong and craved a worthy rival, loving battles as deeply as if blessed by Khorne.

When All Baimu's student file appeared before their eyes.

The situation became uncontrollable.

And this.

Was something All Baimu, immersed in Breath-Concealing, did not know.

——

It was afternoon.

A beach on the outskirts of Levincia.

All Baimu stared silently at a white Diglett, and the other party looked up at him as well.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for a long time.

It was just because every time he got close, this guy would shrink into the sand, and when he walked away, it would pop its head out again; the act of provocation was self-evident.

More importantly, Breath-Concealing had no effect on it!

All Baimu, who had just conquered the Pokémon Park a few days ago, couldn't stand it and almost sent his Steelix to dig through this entire beach.

Fortunately.

There was a better way.

"Hee-ya!"

The Drakloak sister suddenly flew down from a high place, lightning-fast, and hugged the white Diglett.

All Baimu lunged forward and grabbed it, instantly refining it...

Cough.

"You're so arrogant for something the size of a nose! Where do you hang out?"

He pointed at its big red nose and scolded, "Speak! How did you discover me?"

"Da! Da!"

The Wiglett struggled frantically, making loud noises.

Unfortunately, the human who caught it had great hand strength and a firm grip, and the mucus on its body was of no use at all.

It resigned itself to its fate, lying on its back like a dead fish.

Through Porygon2's translation, All Baimu learned that it was his scent that had exposed him.

This Pokémon, called Wiglett, which had nothing to do with Diglett, had an extremely developed sense of smell and could easily distinguish him from dozens of meters away.

The scent of the aromatherapy on All Baimu was just too obvious.

"So that's how it is. Alright then, I'll spare your life."

He nodded with satisfaction and fed it a Pokéblock as compensation for clearing up his confusion.

The Wiglett, having regained its freedom, immediately shrank into the sand, leaving no trace.

"Hee-ya!"

The Drakloak sister claimed credit from her Trainer.

All Baimu praised her fiercely.

Porygon2, in his hand, watched them being all lovey-dovey and suddenly said, "All Baimu... have you noticed that you seem to be getting more and more violent lately?"

"Is that so? Am I?"

He was slightly startled, and recalling the past, he found it was indeed so.

Once upon a time, he was a cautious young man who thought he could be easily killed by Pokémon and was full of vigilance.

Now, he had become an old hand who would grab Pokémon by the neck and slap them.

Deep contact with Pokémon, the excellent defensive performance of the Magma Suit, and the growth of his physical body had made him gradually bold.

It was very likely that in a while.

He would also become like Ash, rushing in front of Pokémon to block moves for them.

No.

If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?

All Baimu said to Porygon2, "I have indeed become a bit bloated. You're right to remind me."

"As long as you know it in your heart."

Porygon2 was very satisfied.

One point it particularly appreciated about All Baimu was that he would listen to anyone's advice as long as it made sense.

This made Porygon2 feel that it wasn't just a tool in All Baimu's hand to be summoned and dismissed at will.

"Hee-ya?"

The Drakloak sister stared.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with bullying the Wiglett just now; wasn't it quite fun?

Hmm?

The naturally "evil" Drakloak suddenly looked toward the sea.

All Baimu also seemed to have discovered something, turned his head, and saw churning waves on the sea surface.

A strange blue figure was approaching.

"Is that... a Pokémon?"

He squinted, a bit puzzled.

The other party's appearance was similar to a combination of a dolphin and Superman, the highly developed pectoral muscles and the heart shape on them, as well as that pair of glove-like fins, all proved this point.

But All Baimu didn't recognize it.

Although he had crammed the Paldea Pokémon Pokédex, this Pokémon was not in the online Pokédex.

A Legendary Pokémon?

He vaguely felt that the other party was coming for him, and it seemed like they didn't come with good intentions!

"... I'll leave it to you, Hydreigon!"

All Baimu didn't hesitate and released Hydreigon, who had just reached level 90.

No matter what the other party's intentions were.

At least in terms of strength, he certainly wouldn't be afraid.

"Eee-roo—"

The unknown Pokémon called out loudly, the tone also similar to a dolphin, leaping high when approaching the shore, and then landing heavily!

Boom!

Gravel and tide water rushed into the sky together.

Hydreigon flapped its wings, dispersing the spreading sand and dust.

It was very well-behaved now.

Even though its level had been reached, it still hadn't bloated.

Hydreigon knew well what it meant to make a fortune in silence; it was preparing to fully master its new power before giving Aggron a big one!

Catching it off guard!

Porygon2 secretly aimed the camera at this Pokémon, and after searching, said:

"All Baimu! This seems to be a Pokémon called Palafin! It's said that it appears when it hears a cry for help! Very, very rare!"

Palafin? Help?

All Baimu realized that this guy was most likely called by that Wiglett just now, and seeing the other party silently observing him and Hydreigon, he asked again:

"A Legendary Pokémon?"

"... Not quite sure, it basically only appears in various rumors, and currently, there is no data on anyone having captured it."

Porygon2 added information.

Not quite sure, huh.

All Baimu observed the other party's strange appearance.

The main reason for asking if it was legendary was—the strength of ordinary wild Pokémon is not as good as Legendary Pokémon.

Perhaps there are one or two individuals that are excellent, but there is no way to rival the cover gods.

"Eee-roo?"

Palafin looked left and right, its gaze fell on All Baimu again, and its little hand pointed, "Eee-roo!"

Porygon2 said, "It's asking if you're the one calling for help."

All Baimu replied, "It's not me, it was a Wiglett, it has already run away, you're too late."

"Eee-roo?"

Palafin was shocked, lowered its arms in frustration, and then turned around, preparing to leave.

It believed that just like that?

All Baimu's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly stopped it, "Wait! How do you know I'm not lying to you?"

"Eee-roo!?"

Palafin turned its head, pointing at him in shock and seriousness.

All Baimu said, "But I really didn't lie to you."

Palafin became frustrated again.

"Eee-roo..."

"You believed it again?"

"Eee-roo!?"

"Actually, I really didn't lie to you!"

"Eee-roo..."

This guy...

All Baimu inexplicably had the illusion that he was teasing a fool; such a simple Pokémon was truly rare.

Why hadn't anyone captured it?

It felt like capturing it would be easy—

When this thought occurred to him, and Hydreigon silently moved closer.

Palafin seemed to sense something, leaped into the sea with a boom, splashed into the sky, and swam away like a fish.

It was truly a boom, a boom sound.

"So that's how it is."

All Baimu wiped the seawater off his face and stopped Hydreigon, who wanted to chase, "Forget it."

A simple, righteous Pokémon that had mastered powerful strength.

The Paldea region is truly wonderful.

He had a strong premonition that this was definitely not the last time he would see Palafin.

Buzz buzz!

The phone vibrated.

"Morning, noon, and night, hello! This is Iono!"

Iono's energetic voice came through, "All Baimu-shi~ are you free now?"

All Baimu said, "Yes, do you want to record a show?"

Iono: "Hehe! All Baimu-shi is very understanding~ I want to record an intro~ can you come and help?"

He agreed.

This matter was mainly on Gengar's mind; being able to learn how to produce a show from her would also help it with its own live streaming later.

Back to Levincia.

According to the address on the phone.

All Baimu found Iono inside the live streaming room on the back side of the Levincia Gym.

The other party was jumping up and down energetically in front of the camera, the fill lights on both sides shining on her, her skin revealing thin sweat, looking very hard-working.

Gengar looked at everything in the live streaming room in amazement, "Gen-gar..."

"This is a professional studio; I'll build one for you on Mt. Silver later."

All Baimu hadn't had much contact with live streaming either, observing while drawing a big pie for Gengar.

Iono noticed his arrival, paused the show recording, picked up a water cup, and opened the room, "Champion! Morning, noon, and night, hel—"

"Are you doing all this by yourself?"

All Baimu asked.

He really didn't see any staff helping.

Iono proudly put her hands on her hips, "Hard-working like a galloping Zebstrika, that's me! Come quickly, come quickly!"

All Baimu and Gengar entered the live streaming room together.

The fill lights on both sides were very dazzling.

The strong light and heat caused Gengar, a Ghost-type Pokémon, to have a clear physiological aversion.

After all, they preferred to stay in dark, cold places.

Gengar held back.

"Is there a script?" All Baimu asked again.

There had been scripts for shows before; suddenly letting him improvise, he really didn't know what to say.

Iono opened her mouth in surprise, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth, "All Baimu-shi is the Champion, there shouldn't be any problem with thinking of the words yourself, right?"

"I am a Battle Champion, not a Media Champion, don't get it wrong."

All Baimu looked helplessly at this older loli.

Iono pondered for a few seconds, nodded, and said, "Indeed indeed, in that case, learn from me—"

"Forget it, I'd better improvise."

He wasn't very good at Iono's style of nonsense, "Anyway, this is going to be edited and broadcast, right?"

Following that, All Baimu looked at Gengar, "Since you want to learn from Iono, just imitate her to the end; later, whatever action Iono does, you do the same."

"Gen-gar!"

The gray fatty patted his chest.

He said to Iono again, "There's no script, but there are specific processes, right? It wouldn't just be a self-introduction, would it?"

"Yes, yes!"

Iono went to get the tablet on the table, and suddenly thought.

Huh?

Isn't this my live streaming room? ===== CHAPTER 1014 =====
