Chapter 1215: Sit-ups

"All Baimu! You've become stronger again!"

Siebold's tone was full of envy, "Was that move just now a Z-Move? The way you activated it with your whole heart and soul was truly an art!"

When he found that his own strength had fallen into a long-term bottleneck, his desire for progress far exceeded that of ordinary people.

However, this was by no means because he and his Pokémon weren't working hard enough; the reason might be that they hadn't found the right method, or perhaps their talent was limited; in short, they were forced to be stuck at this stage.

Although in the Trainer's world, talent was ethereal, and every Pokémon might have differences, it did indeed exist, and its energy level was affected by it.

Ash's Pokémon proved this point to some extent.

It was the same one-year growth range; one could fail to get a tournament victory, or one could go and wrestle with the Elite Four and even Champions.

Siebold naturally raised many Water-type Pokémon, and his team members were replaced repeatedly, but he was still stuck there.

Therefore, he began to pursue external stimulation.

For example, the "assistance" of All Baimu, this powerful Champion.

Why not look for Diantha?

He was looking! He was looking for everyone!

No one stipulated that one could only seek help from one Champion; besides, Champions were so busy that when one of them was unavailable, one could totally look for another.

Siebold's little abacus was clicking loudly.

Lokomoko stood beside the two and nodded, "All Baimu's strength changes with each passing day, just like his cooking level."

"You flatter me, you flatter me. Blastoise isn't bad either; its Dragon Pulse just now was very hard!" All Baimu said sincerely.

With only the ability boost and not the same-type bonus, Mega Blastoise was actually able to contend with the Z-Move of a level 90 Milotic by relying on Shell Smash!

You have to know, both sides were at least ten levels apart!

Even after converting the various ability values transformed from acquired hard work, there was still a certain gap between the two sides.

Siebold was about to respond when the Poké Ball in his hand shook.

It was Blastoise, which had just been dizzy.

Bang!

The Poké Ball opened automatically, and this somewhat embarrassed big guy jumped out, spraying water from its cannon muzzles for the first time, busily tidying up its appearance.

After all, its Trainer was an elegant, handsome, and noble youth; how could it be sloppy, having inherited the Trainer's habits?

After confirming that its own image had no problems, Blastoise revealed a brilliant smile, looking at the curious Shiny Milotic.

"Blastoise~~"

Milotic-chan~~

The mushy voice made All Baimu speechless, and Siebold also felt his ears tremble, but he didn't feel ashamed of its embarrassing behavior; instead, he laughed loudly.

"It seems my Blastoise is quite fond of your Milotic!"

"Blastoise~"

Blastoise shyly covered its face, as if its little secret in its heart had been exposed.

But its short, thick tail was swinging left and right quickly.

Milotic was confused.

"Milotic?"

"It doesn't have much to do with you." All Baimu stroked its head, "If it says it likes you, you tell it you like big monsters."

Compared to Mawile, who was now well-informed and realized the thoughts of the Piplup from the beginning, Milotic's personality was still confused, and it didn't understand many things.

—Then there was no need to understand.

Others liking it, what did it have to do with it?

It wasn't that it liked others.

Milotic suddenly realized, and facing Blastoise's act of peeking at it, it returned a bright smile.

Blastoise didn't understand All Baimu's words, and its eyes and tongue excitedly turned into the shape of hearts, "Blastoise~~"

But it didn't get to be happy for long before a rival appeared.

"Quack!"

It was Lokomoko's Golduck, the blue-skinned duck that had once accompanied him on the path to realizing his future, with mental power so strong it seemed to have a pseudo-Psychic attribute.

It acted just as confused as Milotic, but its approach was vastly different from the secretive Blastoise, bravely stepping forward to express its love to Milotic.

"Quack~"

"Blastoise!?"

Blastoise's pupils shook violently.

Heavens! Someone is stealing my wife!

It hurriedly followed, expressing its own favor to Milotic, the scene looking somewhat ridiculous.

A brave duck and... a two-faced turtle?

Milotic smiled brightly, relaying the content All Baimu told it.

"Milotic~"

"Quack!"

Golduck nodded regretfully, while Blastoise had a look of the sky collapsing, turning somewhat angry instead.

"Blastoise?"

Who! Who is the big monster!

If you have the ability, come out and fight me one-on-one!

It, Turtle-Turtle, today is going to charge for love!

Milotic very honestly patted All Baimu's waist with its tail.

Bang!

Light flickered, and the sleepy Aggron looked at its surroundings strangely.

Because All Baimu rarely let it participate in public battles now, it usually used this time after lunch for a nap.

"Groar?"

Aggron looked at Blastoise, who was glaring at it, and couldn't help but laugh.

It hadn't made a move for too long; did any damn thing dare to bare its teeth at it?

The gentle big monster was still wild in its bones; it looked like its temper had improved, but it was actually just too lazy to care about some small animals.

It took a step forward—

"Stop, stop, stop."

All Baimu, who was watching the show, intervened in time, and Siebold also pulled back his Blastoise.

This guy who didn't know its own strength had just finished a battle and hadn't had time to recover.

Golduck, who provoked the dispute, watched the show, causing Lokomoko to look at it helplessly, "You brat, are you actually pretending to be stupid but are really smart?"

"Quack?"

Golduck scratched its head blankly.

Unlike other Psyduck that shed their stupidity after evolving, his one remained confused even after evolving.

And Siebold's evaluation of this was "great wisdom looks like stupidity."

—It's not "great stupidity looks like wisdom."

Ending the noisy episode, the three put away their Pokémon and left the dust-filled battle arena, returning to the hall.

Just as they entered, they saw countless diners stand up and applaud, looking at them with smiles on their faces.

"As expected of a Champion!"

"Mr. Siebold is also super amazing!"

"Good luck in the match! I believe you can win! All Baimu!"

The speaker drew side-glances from others, and seeing that his attire was clearly different from the style of Kalos, they smiled in relief.

Not a traitor, then it's fine.

Siebold bowed elegantly, "Thank you all for your support, I wish everyone a pleasant meal."

As the restaurant owner, he naturally had to show something, so he ordered the waiters to give each table an extra dish from the kitchen.

Then, he took the two to the back kitchen.

"All Baimu, this time I have a request for you." He stated his thoughts straightforwardly.

Simply put, he was looking for a training partner for himself, with no other requirement than that the partner's requirements were relatively high.

Siebold looked at All Baimu, who hadn't revealed any expression, "I can help you improve your cooking level."

His voice carried a hint of hope.

"You're too polite; helping each other and progressing together is what should be done." All Baimu revealed a smile that made him relax, "As long as I have free time, I am very willing!"

How could he let go of a training partner who delivered himself to the door?

Although compared to the Champion-level Nemona training machine, it was a level lower, the Elite Four-level Siebold training machine was already quite good.

There were only a few dozen of them on the market.

Siebold breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That couldn't be better!"

Lokomoko felt envious listening to this, but the gap between everyone was too big, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth to get involved.

"Recently, I have had some insights and made a new dish; are the two of you interested?"

Siebold laughed and tied his apron.

—

Evening.

All Baimu said goodbye to the two chefs.

"The new Elite Four..."

He remembered what Siebold said just now and shook his head.

Malva was about to be released from prison; the year before last, Team Flare was destroyed, and because she surrendered and showed deep remorse, she was sentenced to a five-year prison term.

Also because of her good performance in prison, plus the guarantees of Champion Diantha and the three Elite Four, the sentence was reduced to a three-year suspended sentence.

The Kalos League originally wanted her to continue serving as an Elite Four, but Malva herself refused.

She claimed that she, who had done wrong things, could hardly be a role model for Trainers again.

Same as the plot in the anime.

This made quite a few people in the Kalos League feel regretful.

Just like Team Flare didn't show their true colors until the extinction plan was launched and wantonly destroyed Lumiose City, Malva's personal reputation was excellent; as a TV host, she was loved by countless people.

She also had extremely friendly relationships with other Elite Four and Champions.

When Team Flare's plan was exposed, Diantha and others immediately went to the police station to meet her.

Whether feeling regretful or angry at her stupidity.

But in the end, everyone wanted to pull Malva back, and upon learning that she sincerely repented, they stubbornly turned the Kalos Champion League into a stage for three Elite Four and a Champion.

But Malva's mind was made up.

With no other choice, the Kalos League had to find a new Elite Four.

But how easy was that?

Which Elite Four wasn't a leader among Trainers? There were many people qualified to receive invitations, but very few people who were truly capable in a meaningful sense.

Therefore, the Kalos League was having a headache now.

From Siebold's mouth, All Baimu learned that all eight Gym Leaders were candidates, and even Alain was among them.

Although he wasn't a tournament winner, the Elite Four belonged to an invitation system and didn't need the threshold of a winner.

The League just often chose from this pile of people.

Battle records are the standard for testing strength!

Now that Alain's strength had been reviewed through the World Coronation Series, the Kalos League would naturally include him in the list.

As for whether he could succeed in the end...

That was another matter.

The Kalos League's affairs also had no great connection to All Baimu, so he just listened and threw it to the back of his mind.

—If you have the ability, let Serena or Bonnie be the Elite Four!

Arrived at the hotel.

All Baimu stepped into the elevator and suddenly turned to look at the corner, where a man in a trench coat was standing, "You've been following me for a long way, right?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

The man in the trench coat looked confused.

He said calmly, "Codename Look—"

Before he could finish, the man's expression changed slightly as he stepped forward quickly to cover his mouth, "Shh! How did you recognize me? Do you know me?"

All Baimu stepped back to dodge, "You guess?"

"Guess a ghost!"

Looker saw that he hadn't caught the other side and sighed, "I finally know why they've always wanted to recruit you."

The International Police had always hoped to recruit All Baimu into the organization, but unfortunately, the latter had more things to do.

Looker, a celebrity in the International Police, a famous NPC in the game.

His encounter in the game was relatively tragic; he lost his memory because of the Ultra Beasts and couldn't return to the International Police team.

But there were no such situations in the anime; he still opened a detective agency in Lumiose City and would only leave to go to other places when there was a mission.

This time, hearing that All Baimu was coming, he specially groped his way behind him and followed him for a long time.

He thought he had fooled him, but he was caught in this enclosed space.

"Sigh..."

Looker sighed again.

All Baimu said, "I just have a relatively keen reaction; normal people wouldn't have discovered it."

I wouldn't follow normal people either!

Looker was speechless.

The elevator door opened, and the people standing outside saw them and were startled.

Looker saw this and walked out first, turning around to signal with his eyes, looking like he was prepared to continue following.

All Baimu didn't care, opened the room to invite him in, and after Blissey came out of the ball, it took the initiative to brew a cup of tea for him.

"Happy~"

"Thank you."

Looker laughed and took it, took a sip, and his eyes brightened, "The taste is not bad~"

"Happy!"

Blissey smiled happily.

This was something it learned from online videos and made itself; although everyone on the team gave it face and said it was delicious, occasionally it still wanted the approval of outsiders.

After all, the voices of outsiders were relatively objective; only by being praised could it improve?

All Baimu smiled and stroked its head: "Got your wish this time, right?"

"Happy~"

Blissey nodded.

Milotic was surrounded by many Pokémon, and the fact that three Pokémon were jealous because of it successfully attracted the attention of many Pokémon led by Gengar.

Especially Mawile; although it didn't feel much when it was pursued by Piplup at the beginning, now that it understood everything, it naturally had a full desire to eat melons.

"Milotic?"

The confused beauty snake was full of confusion; it didn't really understand what had happened.

Thus, everyone's attention shifted to Aggron.

The big monster was silent.

"Groar..."

It was completely an innocent disaster, inexplicably released from the Poké Ball by Milotic, and inexplicably stared at by Blastoise.

Fighting for a mate? Who? Me?

The big monster really wanted to say that, but facing the inquisitive eyes of its partners, it couldn't help but feel speechless.

Finished, this is also a fool.

The group of Pokémon led by Mawile separated unhappily.

Wanted to chat about some gossip, but the result was that both were fools who didn't know what love was; it was really too regrettable.

Of course, everyone didn't expect any sparks between Milotic and Aggron; even if the two often "looked at the scenery together," that was just purely looking at the scenery.

At most, Milotic had a budding feeling for Aggron.

This was what everyone saw with their own eyes.

Including the Trainer who knew about it.

Looker looked at the interaction of the Pokémon, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face, "Your Pokémon are all very active."

"Definitely, liveliness is the first element of my home."

All Baimu sat down beside him and asked, "So, do you have anything you need me to do?"

Looker said, "I heard that in the destruction of Team Flare, you were the main force?"

"Can't count as that."

All Baimu didn't claim credit, "It was mainly the effort of the leader, Lysandre, I just helped them become a bit more convenient."

Looker said again, "Then do you know that Lysandre is gone?"

All Baimu: "... Ah?"

"Lysandre was originally in the intensive care unit we were monitoring, but last week, he disappeared."

Looker shook his head and said, "The surveillance failed, or rather, it was overwritten by video of the same segment."

Lysandre... wasn't he turned into a vegetable?

All Baimu vaguely remembered that this Team Flare boss became a senseless vegetable after the incident ended.

Rescued by someone? Who wants to summon his soul?

?? PS: Lysandre appeared in AZ, so let's summon his soul. ===== CHAPTER 1216 =====
