Chapter 1092

"Ch-Champion……"

The male student was so scared his face turned pale.

All Baimu raised his hand and said, "This is my fault; I shouldn't have battled in a place like this. Don't worry, I will take responsibility."

Seeing someone holding up the sky that had collapsed, the few students relaxed.

The male student handed over the stamp; All Baimu saw his body trembling slightly, patted his shoulder, and told him and his friends to leave.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, I can handle it alone; after all, I'm the Champion."

He smiled.

The students were moved and suddenly, with great passion, expressed their willingness to stay and take responsibility.

"We want to face it with the Champion!"

"That's right! We have responsibility too!"

"I——"

"Alright, alright, I appreciate the sentiment, but this isn't something that should be blown out of proportion. If your own house were demolished, you wouldn't want many people to know, right?"

All Baimu hurriedly persuaded them, and after much effort, finally drove away the Blueberry Academy students who were reluctant to leave and kept looking back.

He sighed with emotion, "Innocent youths~!"

At this moment.

"Meow……"

Alolan Meowth hung its ears low to admit its mistake; it realized that it was its Dark Pulse that had given the confused Hitmonlee the chance to get close to the small house.

All Baimu picked it up and said, "No, it has nothing to do with you, and I actually have to thank you."

If it weren't for Alolan Meowth, he probably would have had a hard time knowing that the Loyal Three's Poké Balls were hidden inside their statues.

Are they inside?

"Meow……"

Meowth didn't quite understand, but seeing its Trainer staring at the broken statue the whole time, it decisively shut its mouth.

It had always been a very clever cat.

All Baimu approached, and just as he took all the Poké Balls from inside, a scolding voice came from behind.

"What are you doing! Who told you to destroy the statue! You jerk!"

A bald old man ran over in a rage, passing by Scream Tail and Miraidon, waving a broom as if to hit him.

All Baimu didn't look back, jumping onto the railing next to the small house and then jumping away to another spot, while simultaneously suppressing the two Paradox Pokémon with his gaze to prevent them from attacking the old man.

But how could Scream Tail understand that?

"Ya!"

The wild, chubby Jigglypuff was furious, swinging its tentacles and suddenly grabbing the old man's clothes to drag him backward.

Fortunately, Miraidon stepped forward and supported the old man with its back.

That was the only thing that kept him from falling down the steps.

The old man subconsciously held onto Miraidon's body, turned his head, saw a pair of bright electronic eyes, and realized, "Oh, oh, thank you……"

He didn't notice that it was Scream Tail who had pulled him.

Scream Tail still wanted to attack, but the clever Meowth had already left All Baimu's arms, hugging its tentacles to forcibly drag it away.

"Ya! Ya ya ya!"

The big Jigglypuff shouted angrily, cursing with very foul language.

All Baimu stepped forward to help the old man up and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I was battling nearby and accidentally smashed the statue inside."

"Accidentally? Is saying 'accidentally' enough?"

The old man said angrily, "Do you know what the Loyal Three mean? Outsiders will never know that if it weren't for the Loyal Three, our Kitakami Village……"

He cursed and complained for a long time.

All Baimu listened quietly, maintaining a smile the whole time.

The old man vented his anger and waved his hand, "Forget it! You go! Seeing as you're a young man with a sincere attitude, and I also have some responsibility! We'll let this slide!"

The Loyal Three Plaza was managed by someone, but he had just gone to clean the steps below the hillside.

It hadn't even been a few minutes before the statue was broken.

All Baimu was stunned, "Forget it?"

"Otherwise, you want to come and fix the statue?"

The old man retorted, then added, "You're a student here for the event, right? Young people shouldn't be so rash in the future. Fortunately, it wasn't the original statue……"

Hm?

This muttering was heard by All Baimu.

He asked, "Sir, have these statues been broken before?"

"Hmph…… broken more than once! Although I haven't seen it, they exploded once decades ago!"

The old man tried to move the broken statue out of the house but couldn't, so he looked at All Baimu, "You broke it! You move it!"

All Baimu started moving it without a word, and Meowth and Miraidon also stepped forward to help.

Seeing everyone else doing it, Scream Tail did it too!

A few minutes passed.

Only Ogerpon's intact statue remained in the small house; its size was larger, so it was placed in the very back and thus escaped unscathed.

The old man brought a cart from somewhere, put the broken statue on it, and said, "People in town say the statues explode every few decades because the Loyal Three want to come out and move around."

"Some people also say they've seen Poké Balls inside…… Hahaha! How is that possible! How long ago were Poké Balls invented!"

Actually, that person wasn't wrong.

All Baimu thought about the Poké Balls he had quietly stuffed into his pocket using a gambler's sleight of hand, thinking that the Loyal Three should all be inside.

James's Carnivine proved that a Pokémon could stay in a Poké Ball for over a decade.

It shouldn't be a problem for Legendary Pokémon to stay for a few hundred years.

And listening to the old man, they occasionally come out to play. Then why was there no reaction to him?

Did they go out to play and not come back?

All Baimu said goodbye to the old man and ducked into the apple orchard with the three Pokémon.

"Ya……"

Scream Tail looked at the plump apples on the dwarf trees, opened its mouth wide, and was about to bite one.

As luck would have it, it picked an Applin; the suddenly appearing leaf-shaped eyes and the bug-like smell gave it a fright.

Scream Tail shouted angrily, "Ya!!"

All Baimu allowed it to speak freely in places where there were no people.

Swish—

The sound waves shook the air, apples fell to the ground, and the Applin rolled away in a panic.

Scream Tail, however, was unwilling to let this guy who had intimidated it go.

Meowth looked at its back, feeling inexplicably speechless.

It's way too lively!

Like a cub!

Although there were many cat-type Pokémon on Mt. Silver, Meowth, who was acting like a fox borrowing a tiger's might, didn't have any eggs with any of them yet.

It had only seen other people's cubs, and every single one of them was annoying to cats.

All Baimu didn't pay attention to the tossing and turning Scream Tail; seeing no one nearby, he pressed the Poké Ball switch.

……Hm?

No reaction?

It's not in a locked state, so why is there no reaction?

He was a bit puzzled and carefully observed the three Poké Balls, only to find that they were already corroded in many places.

It seems that after hundreds of years, while the Pokémon could withstand it, the Poké Balls themselves had developed problems.

He needs to find someone to repair them.

Destroying them directly won't work; the Pokémon inside would be severely injured.

All Baimu had never done anything to harm his own Pokémon for the sake of convenience, and even if the Loyal Three weren't his own, they had at least been captured by him.

Furthermore, repairing Poké Balls is very simple——

Find a Pokémon Center!

It's just that there's only one Pokémon Center in Kitakami Village, and repairing Poké Balls there would inevitably cause a commotion.

"Let's go! Find another Pokémon Center!"

He rode Miraidon, preparing to use this guy's fast-flying ability to head to a Pokémon Center elsewhere.

This guy could only glide before, but after its power was fully restored, it could fly.

It flies very fast! Faster than Hydreigon!

It feels like the kind of Pokémon that could compete with the Dragonite in the Pokédex for top speed.

Miraidon rushed forward excitedly, "Gao!"

A few seconds later.

Scream Tail was dragged back, its face full of unwillingness.

Meowth looked at its tantrum, thinking that it wasn't happy either; the Trainer's arms were only so wide, and it was being squeezed to death!

——These troubles dissipated rapidly after flying into the sky.

Flying on Hydreigon and flying on Miraidon are two different experiences; if Hydreigon is an armed helicopter, then Miraidon is a fighter jet!

A supersonic fighter jet!

Steelix? In terms of flying, it belongs to the category of civil aviation……

Of course, some things are better kept to oneself; All Baimu would never mention similar words in front of Hydreigon.

That's just asking for trouble.

He indulged in the pleasure brought by the supersonic combat lizard.

In a small town hundreds of kilometers south of Kitakami Village, All Baimu handed the three corroded Poké Balls to Nurse Joy and took out a comb to groom Meowth and Scream Tail.

Both Pokémon had their fur blown into a mess by the wind, each looking weirder than the other.

"The quality of the fur is always so good."

All Baimu had always been very satisfied with the fur that Meowth meticulously maintained.

Meowth purred proudly, rolling and acting spoiled on the Trainer's lap.

Scream Tail watched the Trainer groom the messy fur until it was neat, even making it shiny, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Ya…… Ya?"

When is it my turn?

It couldn't wait; everyone loves beauty.

And after All Baimu finished grooming both Pokémon, and incidentally wiped Miraidon's dust-covered shell clean, Nurse Joy in the repair room also opened the corroded switches.

Bang bang bang!

"Woof/Gee/Goo!"

The Loyal Three, who hadn't been out of their balls for decades, made a glorious comeback!

The three Pokémon subconsciously struck flashy poses, just wanting to see which genius had let them regain their freedom, but what they saw was a gentle smiling face and a pink egg.

"Pokémon I've never seen before~ Your Trainer is outside, Blissey, take them out."

"Happy~"

Blissey waved at the three.

Okidogi scratched its head in confusion; where did they get a Trainer?

Fezandipiti didn't know either.

Munkidori beside them trembled inexplicably.

Its eyes glowed with blue light, clearly observing the future.

It saw——

"Yo, the three big shots are out?"

The voice hidden deep in the soul echoed in their ears; Okidogi and Fezandipiti looked up in disbelief.

It's that man!

That man who defeated their boss!

All Baimu looked at the three Loyal Three, smiled, and said, "Long time no see, don't……"

The word "scared" didn't come out.

The Loyal Three rushed toward him at an extremely fast speed, their faces full of excitement and joy.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Goo~"

"Gee!!"

All Baimu, who had deliberately not dodged, looked in surprise at the three Pokémon surrounding him; they weren't like this before.

They were all very afraid of him!

Who knew that now they had all turned into a licking dog, a licking chicken, and a licking monkey.

Nurse Joy tapped the table and said seriously, "Although it's happy to see you getting along so well, this is an operating room, and you're not allowed to mess around!"

"Sorry, sorry."

All Baimu hurriedly dragged the three Loyal Three outside.

There was no one in the lobby, and the whole town was quiet and peaceful, which was what he had deliberately chosen.

The Loyal Three licked and rubbed against him, that enthusiasm was unbearable.

It feels like after hundreds of years, their character settings have changed!

Poryphone flew out and greeted the three Loyal Three, and the Loyal Three immediately turned their enthusiasm toward the new object.

This…… won't there be any problems?

It's like being hit by Fezandipiti's pheromones.

When All Baimu felt puzzled, Poryphone communicated with the Loyal Three, and both sides were excited one moment and depressed the next, like performing a stage play.

Finally.

Poryphone understood the ins and outs and explained everything to All Baimu.

"Simply put, they're just too lonely."

"Lonely?"

"Yes, after we left, the Loyal Three settled in Kitakami Village, and with the group of Trainers led by Perrin that you cultivated, they gained a pure land for the people of Kitakami Village in troubled times, so they have always been treated with respect."

"Oh? That's not bad!"

"It was good at first, but then problems arose…… Perrin and the others were bound to grow old, and although they felt it hadn't been many years, both Boro and Perrin passed away one after another…… None of the familiar people were left."

Poryphone's voice was a bit low, "Although there were people of the next generation who knew them, after the second generation also passed away, they felt they couldn't take it, so they chose to spend some time in their Poké Balls before coming out to see, and as a result, from a few months at first, to years, to over a decade……"

Finally, it was the decades after the Poké Balls were damaged.

Death is too heavy.

Poryphone couldn't imagine how it would face the future after All Baimu passed away.

Regarding the experiences of the Loyal Three, it was sympathetic but also a bit fearful.

"Things have changed, and people are no longer the same……"

All Baimu sighed with emotion, touched the three Loyal Three who were looking at him eagerly; after hundreds of years, familiar people were slowly gone, and suddenly one day they saw him.

Even though they had been defeated by him, they were exceptionally surprised.

It was as if they had reconnected with the world!

"What about Ogerpon and Pecharunt? How are they doing?" All Baimu noticed that Poryphone hadn't mentioned these two important existences.

Poryphone said, "They said that after Boro died, Ogerpon ran away. Pecharunt stayed in the shrine at first and slept for a long time; it woke up once during that period, didn't do anything, and then fell asleep again. Now its whereabouts are unknown."

Both Pokémon's whereabouts are unknown?

This really surprised All Baimu; it seems Ogerpon had basically no feelings for Kitakami Village, even though he had changed history.

As for Pecharunt……

So far, he hadn't heard anyone say that a strange Pokémon was stirring up trouble somewhere.

"You haven't eaten Mochi for so many years, can you still maintain your strength?"

He looked curiously at Okidogi, Fezandipiti, and Munkidori.

The chains symbolizing power and imprisonment had turned gray-purple, but they were still sturdy, intelligent, and beautiful.

Hearing this, the Loyal Three immediately became proud.

In the long time, they hadn't been doing nothing.

Because their boss, Pecharunt, was in a long slumber and they couldn't replenish their Mochi for a long time, they had to rely on themselves, learning the "secret techniques" All Baimu left behind with Perrin and the others.

After trying their best, they couldn't say they had completely gotten rid of Mochi, but at least if they lost Mochi, they could still have combat power.

In this way, if their boss was captured again, they wouldn't have to look on eagerly from behind the cage.

Relying on their own strength to protect their boss!

Okidogi narcissistically showed off its muscles, Fezandipiti walked with a strange runway walk, and Munkidori let itself float in the air.

They wanted to show their former opponent their current strength.

It was both catching up and issuing a challenge!
