Chapter 1250: Terastal Change

The next day.

Briar returned from her trip.

In a multimedia classroom, All Baimu successfully met this descendant of the great adventurer Heath.

He greeted, "Long time no see! Ms. Briar!"

"You're too polite, Champion~ I'm really sorry, even though I invited you here, I made you wait so long."

The intellectual and elegant lady was full of apologies, then noticed the little thing on his shoulder, "Huh? Isn't this?"

"Pecharunt!"

Pecharunt hid behind All Baimu's head, looking at this woman vigilantly.

It was relatively pure, hoping that while its trainer only liked it, the trainer would also only like it.

And it was naturally relatively timid, extremely repelling strangers.

"That's right, the 'ghost' from the Kitakami legends, Pecharunt." All Baimu nodded.

Briar was quite surprised, "I only heard you took Ogerpon away; I didn't expect you wouldn't even let Pecharunt go, you're really amazing!"

What do you mean wouldn't let go...

All Baimu felt her words were very strange.

After Briar finished sighing, she didn't continue to pay attention to Pecharunt; to her, Mythical Pokémon were just Pokémon, not a long-cherished wish.

She took out a white letter with a magenta wax seal on it, excitedly saying, "Look! I got permission to explore Area Zero and the Zero Deepvoid!"

"Congratulations! Teacher!"

Carmine, who led All Baimu here, clapped with a smile; she was Briar's assistant and knew well that she wanted to clear her ancestor's name and break through the many mysteries recorded in the Scarlet Book.

Especially the core Disk Pokémon, Briar could be said to be thinking about it day and night.

Now she finally got Geeta's approval to go and take a look.

Zero Deepvoid?

Didn't Nemona say there were no preparations for exploration for the time being?

All Baimu had reason to suspect that Geeta agreed because of the solved Future Swords of Justice and Ancient Legendary Beasts.

He asked, "When do you plan to go to the Zero Deepvoid to explore?"

"In about a week."

Briar reached out her hand, "If you have time, why not come along! I believe you, having entered before, can provide us with guidance!"

"Okay."

All Baimu agreed, thinking this might also be the main storyline of the Scarlet/Violet DLC, regarding the third god, Terapagos.

Is the final BOSS Briar?

No, looking at her appearance, she's probably similar to Peony in the Crown Tundra, just an accompanying NPC.

Does Scarlet/Violet have no final BOSS?

A family-friendly script?

All Baimu pondered inwardly, remaining calm on the surface, "One more question, how many people do you plan to bring in?"

Briar smiled, "I was thinking of bringing Carmine, and the Blueberry Academy League Club President, Drayton—"

"Teacher, the President is no longer Drayton; the current President is my brother Kieran." Carmine added hurriedly.

Briar was stunned: "So fast? I remember not long ago he just beat Amarys~"

Carmine: "Teacher, that was over a month ago."

"Hahaha... looks like I'm a bit too obsessed with work."

Briar laughed awkwardly, then sighed, "Drayton was defeated? Kieran's growth speed is really fast."

She added, "Since that's the case, Carmine, please ask Kieran if he's interested in exploring Area Zero with us."

"Okay!"

Carmine immediately took out her phone to contact Kieran.

All Baimu said, "Ms. Briar, Nemona, Arven, and Penny are also at Blueberry Academy, do you need me to tell them?"

"They are here too? That's great!"

Briar was overjoyed.

She had long known about the danger level of Area Zero through various video materials, and the Scarlet Book she held also mentioned the danger of Paradox Pokémon more than once.

Being able to have Nemona and the others help was naturally the best.

The Rotom Phone quickly started contacting them.

The three replied extremely quickly, all expressing their willingness to help Briar, or rather, they had been waiting for this day.

Arven and Penny certainly didn't like Paradox Pokémon, but they also wanted to get to the bottom of the secrets of Area Zero.

Everyone was very curious about All Baimu's time travel in the past.

However, Carmine didn't receive a reply; Kieran was constantly reviewing yesterday's battle, trying to find a way to defeat Ogerpon.

"This..."

She frowned.

Briar waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, exploring Area Zero is in a week. By the way, I heard you want to change the Terastal type of your Pokémon?"

"Yes."

All Baimu nodded slightly at her gaze, "I plan to use Terastallization in the World Coronation Series as a trump card."

Briar smiled, "Okay, then which Pokémon do you want to change to which type?"

"It's a portion of the Pokémon."

All Baimu smiled embarrassedly.

Briar: "... Most of them?"

"There should be seven or eight." He took out a handful of Poké Balls, looking at her with expectant eyes.

Briar stared at those Poké Balls and said helplessly, "Sorry, if it were only one, I might be able to help you, but for seven or eight, the raw materials are not enough."

All Baimu: "Raw materials?"

"Yes."

She took the initiative to explain the principle, "Changing a Pokémon's Terastal type requires a certain amount of Tera Shards. And inside each type of shard, there exists a single-type Terastal energy that accounts for a relatively large proportion.

"Current technology can only extract the larger part, unable to properly utilize the remaining part, so the loss is relatively large; usually, fifty thumb-sized shards are needed, and they must be of the corresponding type."

Fifty thumb-sized ones, and they have to be the corresponding type...

All Baimu realized this was mostly the reward for "Tera Raid Battles" in the games.

The promotional PV showed content similar to Dynamax Raid Battles, and the opponents were all Terastallized Pokémon without exception.

Briar apologized, "So sorry—"

"Gengar, take things out."

Bang!

White light flashed, and the Shiny Gengar appeared, opening its four-dimensional belly without a word to take things out.

In an instant, a forearm-long Tera Shard appeared before Briar and Carmine's eyes.

Carmine didn't have much reaction, but Briar became excited, "Such a big Tera Shard!"

She leaned in to observe carefully, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, "I haven't seen such a big shard for a long time~"

"And the energy in the ecological core?"

"Extracted slowly from small and medium-sized shards."

Briar smiled, "Terastallization actually occurs all over the world, similar to the Terastal Pool in Kitakami, but most of the affected areas are small; Area Zero is the largest one, radiating the entire Paldea."

All Baimu: "Understood."

Briar's gaze fell back onto the Tera Shard, admiring it with full love, "You collected this from Area Zero, right?"

All Baimu: "Yes, it's everywhere there."

"As expected of Area Zero, I'm really looking forward to it more and more."

Briar straightened her waist, "The type of Tera Shards needs to be tested to know; how many shards do you have, take them all out."

"Gengar~"

Gengar started taking them out without a word.

Tera Shards were really the most common things in Area Zero; All Baimu collected a lot the first time he went, and collected quite a few the second time.

Although he didn't know what to do with so many, the nature of a gamer made him always hoard things.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~

The crisp sound echoed on the classroom floor.

Briar's expression went from the initial smile, to later astonishment, and finally numbness, "You... how many did you collect?"

She looked at the small mountain piled up to her height in front of her; sometimes when she went out to find a "Tera Den," the Tera Shards she could bring back weren't even that many.

"Gengar~"

Gengar stopped taking them out upon hearing this.

It actually only took out about one-tenth.

Anyway, the space in its four-dimensional belly was large enough, and as its strength continued to improve, the space was still continuously growing.

All Baimu asked, "These should be enough, right?"

"Enough, enough."

Briar nodded hurriedly, "Unless there are too many of the same type, and they happen to be types you don't need."

All Baimu bowed sincerely to thank her, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, but the adventure in a week, I'll trouble you." Briar smiled, covering her mouth.

Carmine looked at the happy appearance of the two, and couldn't help but curve her lips, but once she thought of that useless younger brother, her lips went down again.

——

The time required to change types wasn't short.

According to what Briar said, it was about ten hours to fifteen hours.

In the research room, she changed into a white lab coat, put on protective goggles, and skillfully operated a strange instrument.

All Baimu's Poké Balls were all placed in the card slot.

Briar put the Tera Shards into another slot and said, "This is my first time using such a large shard to change types; before, they were all shards collected by students themselves."

"Collected by themselves? Blueberry Academy also has Tera Shards?"

"Yes, wild Pokémon in the ecological park occasionally Terastallize naturally under the influence of the ecological core; defeating them has a probability of obtaining thumb-sized Tera Shards."

"There's such a thing... it must take a long time to save up, right?"

"Kieran is the fastest one."

Briar smiled, operating the instrument while saying, "That kid is very hardworking, it's just that his mentality is a bit poor, his personality is a bit awkward, but he's not bad by nature."

All Baimu naturally believed this; after all, Otsuka was even worse than Kieran before, isn't he growing now?

As for bonds, beliefs, etc., what does it matter if he can't understand them for a while.

Ash traveled for eight generations before growing into his current appearance.

You have to give people time to change.

He stared at the machine.

The first to change was Hydreigon, with the target type being Steel, mainly used to ambush Fairy-type or Dragon-type opponents.

Next was Blissey, changed to Ghost type; then Shiny Milotic, changed to Fairy type; Dragapult changed from Ghost type to Dragon type, maximizing the power of the move Dragon Darts; these required higher demand for changing Terastal types.

The remaining Aggron, Mawile, Porygon2, Gengar, Steelix, etc., either preferred Mega Evolution over Terastallization, or simply didn't need to change types.

But since they were all here, let's change them a little bit.

Change them to the types they like themselves.

Aggron chose Ground type; if the Sand Tomb it had practiced since childhood had Ground-type enhancement, its power would increase to a terrifying level.

Mawile also chose to change from Steel type to Fairy type; she felt the Steel-type Terastal crown was ugly, and the Fairy one looked good.

Steelix changed from Steel type to Ground type, Porygon2 changed to Psychic type, Gengar changed to Fairy type...

"What are you thinking?"

All Baimu lowered his head to ask.

Gengar shyly indicated that it also wanted a good-looking Terastal crown~

The overly pretentious expression made the Pokémon in the house almost vomit; the gray fatty didn't care at all, and was even proud.

"Ogerpon~"

Ogerpon was eager to try, wanting to participate in the team-building activity—

All Baimu said with a bitter smile, "You shouldn't be able to change your Terastal type, right? Your Terastal type is purely changed by the mask; you are much more powerful than them."

"Ogerpon~"

Ogerpon suddenly realized.

It almost forgot about this.

In the afternoon, All Baimu arrived at the outer field as promised, meeting Kieran, who had been waiting here for a long time.

Compared to yesterday's grand occasion, there were many fewer spectators today.

After all, without grandly notifying everyone, it was impossible for everyone to rush to the scene in advance.

All Baimu said, "Are you ready?"

"Come!! I will definitely win today!! This time... this time it's just that I didn't know..."

Kieran gritted his teeth, not sleeping all night yesterday, just to find a way to defeat Ogerpon.

No matter how big the gap in hard power was, he would have a chance in a one-on-six!

He firmly believed in this point, as if using all his strength, throwing two Poké Balls forward.

All Baimu observed his state, and then looked at the state of the two Pokémon entering the field, shaking his head slightly, "The trainer didn't rest well, and the Pokémon's state wasn't adjusted well; do you think you're Ash?"

If Kieran really were Ash, All Baimu wouldn't need to do anything at all.

That guy not only trusted his Pokémon the most, but his fighting spirit was also like iron; yesterday he was still unwilling and crying for his defeat, and tomorrow he could offer applause and smiles to his opponent.

Can you do that, Kieran?

The Blueberry Elite Four arrived one after another, and the scattered students discovered the situation here and slowly gathered around.

"Battling again today?"

"This is a guidance class, right? Giving Kieran a battle guidance class!"

"Impossible, right? Isn't the school inviting Champion All Baimu to be a guest? How could he give Kieran a guidance class?"

"Being able to battle the Champion twice, so envious..."

"Damn it! President privilege!"

"I also really want to battle the Champion, even being swept twenty times is worth it!"

"What kind of dream talk are you talking about early in the morning."

The students discussed, looking at Kieran with full envy.

Sometimes the status of a trainer is too high, even if they bully people, they will think it's intimate guidance.

After all, the chance to battle a Champion is rare in the world.

Ask, how many trainers are there in the world? And how few regional Champions are there?

—Fortunately, Kieran was focused on the battle; otherwise, hearing the words of the students around him, he would probably have another mental breakdown.

But even without the gossip of others, his blood pressure was very high.

Ogerpon changed to the Wellspring Mask today, and with the help of the rain given by Politoed, it was still one cudgel strike per Pokémon!

"Lost again!"

He once again struck the humiliating posture like a dogeza.

Drayton didn't even have the heart to mock him, complaining, "What exactly is he persevering for? He needs to learn to face the gap!"

"What are you talking about! This is called Kieran's fighting spirit!"

Crispin glared at him, "That's why you were defeated by Kieran!"

Drayton twitched the corner of his mouth.

Crispin now had to mock him for losing to Kieran whenever she had nothing to do; if she kept nagging, he would have to care even if he didn't care. ===== CHAPTER 1251 =====
