Chapter 1260: The Degenerate Heavenly Group

Platinum Silver Mountain.

Another peaceful, uneventful day.

On the villa's balcony, flowers of every color bloomed brilliantly in their pots.

Alolan Meowth basked lazily in the sun, occasionally sipping sweet tree-fruit juice.

Unlike ordinary cats that curl into a ball, its behavior and mannerisms were close to human; right now it lay on its back on a beach chair, a pair of sunglasses perched on its head.

Four beach chairs sat neatly lined up next door, belonging to the equally leisurely Taodailang and Baoban.

"Pika pika~"

"Squeak~"

Yuan Zengyuan waved a finger, and a potato chip flew up from the round table, thoughtfully delivered to its big brother's mouth.

Taodailang crunched it down with a kacha kacha, then let out a light cry, summoning Miltank milk to sip slowly in small mouthfuls.

"Pika pika~"

Today's milk quality is pretty good~!

"Woof!"

Gouzan agreed; its excellent sense of smell and taste both told it that today's milk was top-grade.

Yuan Zengyuan remarked lazily:

"Aure, the weather has entered autumn, temperatures are gradually dropping, which keeps the Miltank milk from being too affected by climate during bottling, cold-storage preservation, and transport, so the flavor is better."

It analyzed things in a thorough, methodical way, but alas no one paid any attention to what it said.

"Cluck cluck!"

Jizhi Chicken flapped its wings and flew up; it felt its feathers had absorbed about enough sunlight, and going further would risk turning dark.

It turned to head back inside, stepping over many snack bags along the way and kicking aside quite a few drink bottles.

Despite the scene being a complete mess, Jizhi Chicken didn't care.

Eguiju will clean it up before it returns!

Every morning it has to go near Queen Leiguanwang's garden to pick tree-fruit, carefully selecting for no less than a few hours.

Occasionally it also helps receive outside supplies—

Shanren arranged a team in Huang Tie City, mainly responsible for regularly providing Platinum Silver Mountain with all kinds of outside supplies.

Including but not limited to fresh foods of every kind, daily necessities, even new-model electronic devices, Pokemon clothes, and other miscellaneous items.

Baimu is away, so naturally all these things belong to the Pokemon who remain.

This is also what he tacitly permits.

Therefore life on Platinum Silver Mountain appears dull and flavorless, but in reality it is relaxed and comfortable — eating, drinking, playing, making a ruckus, without any burden.

The home-guarding squad's daily life is utterly degenerate.

Thank goodness they are Pokemon; otherwise their squandering would be even more ruthless.

Suddenly.

"Yiya——!!"

A piercing shriek came from the foot of the mountain far, far away.

All the Pokemon swiftly looked up, only because the howl in Houjiao Tail's cry contained not a shred of anger or irritation, but was instead full of joy.

Immediately afterward, accompanied by a large flock of bird Pokemon startled from the jungle, a bolt of blue lightning came streaking in!

Alolan Meowth and Baoban stared at each other.

Buhao!

The Trainer is back!

"Meow-ao!"

Alolan Meowth's fur instantly stood on end; it sprinted toward the living room at top speed while calling for Baoban to clean up the trash on the floor.

Didn't even give advance notice!

Pulling a sneak attack!

The Trainer has no martial virtue!

But by the time it ran into the stairwell, its startled brain gradually calmed.

Judging by the habits the Trainer has shown in the past, counting from when he enters Platinum Silver Mountain's territory, it takes at least half an hour to reach the villa.

After all, he really likes the wild Pokemon living on Platinum Silver Mountain; every time he returns he greets and interacts with the Pokemon along the way.

Occasionally tossing a feed, playing games with some young ones — one or two hours is also possible.

No.

Can't only consider the Trainer.

Porygon2, Gengar — they might also come back early.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Alolan Meowth fished out who-knows-where a mask, apron, and headscarf, dressed itself up like a cleaning staff member, and began tidying the slightly messy living room.

Why try so hard?

It could of course leave everything untouched and wait for the Trainer to handle it, and believes the Trainer wouldn't blame it.

But that would violate its cat persona!

Alolan Meowth considers itself a good cat in Baimu's eyes, a perfect-score cat.

So it feels that whether shifting responsibility or simply giving up, both would deduct points in Baimu's heart.

Sooner or later the points would run out!

Alolan Meowth absolutely does not want to turn into Houjiao Tail's kind!

"Meow-ow!"

It let out a loud cry, finished tidying the balcony's treasure companions, and quickly went downstairs to help tidy other places.

Seeing the skilled movements of these few treasure companions, it was clearly not the first time doing this.

Even the Peach Scoundrel was not idle.

In fact, when it worked, it was more efficient than the Alolan Meowth, as if it had ample relevant experience.

Even the Bad Peach itself couldn't figure out the reason.

Combined with its amnesiac experience, perhaps it used to be very good at similar things.

"Hmm-hmm..."

The Peach Scoundrel multitasked, thinking while wiping the stains on the wall.

At the same time.

The electrified Miloton burst through the gate and spun 360 degrees on the spot in the spacious living room.

"Gah-ow!"

The most handsome treasure companion of Platinum Silver Mountain has returned!

Hurry and welcome it!

It proudly raised its head, then turned and saw the fully armed Alolan Meowth and other treasure companions.

The strange attire and atmosphere made Miloton instinctively lower its head.

"Ah-ga... hiss?"

What happened?

The Alolan Meowth waved its paw, signaling it to go play elsewhere; Miloton's return didn't matter.

This lizard, aside from having slightly higher intelligence during battles, was useless at other times, so it wasn't afraid of telling the trainer everything.

Miloton hesitated slightly, then scraped the smooth floor twice on the spot and ran out.

It rushed back purely to be the first to claim a spot.

Even though no treasure companion would willingly compete with it for such a thing.

Seeing Miloton leave, the Alolan Meowth sped up its efforts, aiming to make the villa completely renewed before the trainer arrived!

—

Outside Platinum Silver Mountain.

Just as the Alolan Meowth had judged.

Baimu had no intention of immediately rushing back to the villa, happily interacting with the wild treasure companions.

"Sounds good, sounds good!"

He laughed and clapped.

Before him was a vibrant treasure companion band.

Composed of three Soundbox Crickets, three Noisy Birds, two Wind Chime Chimes, six Green Cotton Birds, one Mis lip Baby, one Mis lip Sister——

and then plus one Howl Tail.

Yes.

Plus one more Howl Tail.

"How did you get mixed in? Threats and lures?"

Baimu raised an eyebrow at the Howl Tail.

Although by appearance and temperament, this guy was very suitable for the band's vibe, its voice...

"Ee-ya!"

The Howl Tail glared angrily, as if to say no one in the world could disbelieve it, but you, the trainer, cannot!

Its evil chubby Ding will today deliver a fierce slap!

The Howl Tail looked at the band's treasure companions, signaling them to start playing.

The Soundbox Crickets nodded in unison, vibrating their long whiskers that could substitute for cellos, violins, etc.

The Wind Chime Chimes gradually swayed in, the Noisy Birds respectively "played" trumpet, trombone, French horn, etc., and the six Green Cotton Birds sang harmonies.

Finally came the proud Howl Tail and the downcast Mis lip Sister and Mis lip Baby opening their voices.

In an instant.

A pleasant yet not harsh female soprano rang out.

Baimu's vision flashed, his consciousness feeling as if it had moved from the forest to the opera house, his ears as if being gently caressed by slender jade hands.

This!

This is what the Howl Tail sang!?

Not to mention Baimu, even the Two-sided Beast 2 and the Oddish Gastly were a bit dazed, the treasure companions in the Poké Balls equally restless.

A broken gong voice turned into a celestial voice?

Are they awake?

Seeing the trainer and other treasure companions' shocked gazes, the Howl Tail's eyes flashed with a hint of pride.

Not in vain did it painstakingly study this piece.

Effort has finally been rewarded!

Thirty Tianhe east, thirty Tianhe west, never bully the poor Ding!

After the song ended.

The entire forest fell eerily silent, followed immediately by Baimu's loud applause.

"Very good! Full of spirit!"

He squatted down in front of the howling tail, hugging it tightly, causing the soft-bodied Pokémon to become oval-shaped, "I underestimated you! You're amazing, howling tail!"

"Ee ya~"

The howling tail looked smug.

Getting slapped in the face feels great!

Seeing this, the other wild Pokémon in the band all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been practicing this song for nearly a month, ever since the great tree on Wang Guan Snowfield revived and Baimu returned from Galar, they were forced to accept the howling tail's summons to form the band.

They kept practicing and practicing, and only now did they begin to see results.

"Everyone, you've worked hard. Come to my place tonight, I'll treat you well! By the way, I'd like to hear your performance!"

Baimu generously invited the band Pokémon to his villa.

Upon hearing this, the wild Pokémon were overjoyed.

For the wild Pokémon living in Yin Silver Mountain, the villa on the mountain is like a holy land, and Pokémon are often invited there.

And every wild Pokémon that returns calls it a beautiful dream!

"Let's not talk about that now, you guys continue."

Baimu patted the howling tail's head and headed toward the villa.

Along the way, they interacted, and the wild Pokémon, usually wary of outsiders, warmly greeted him, with some even dragging out their young to block the path.

As if saying, "You won't leave without leaving something behind."

Baimu naturally opened his wallet generously; he loved seeing Pokémon breed and thrive near his home, making everything full of life.

After nearly an hour of wandering.

He finally arrived at the path leading to the villa, just in time to meet Lei Guan Wang, who was riding a horse, and E Gui Peng, who was carrying a bamboo basket.

E Gui Peng was wearing a tiny maid apron today, with a small flower on her head, as cute as could be.

"Baimu!"

"Bo ni o~"

Baimu smiled and stepped forward, either patting or hugging, "It's been a while, Lei Guan Wang, have you missed me? And you?"

"Si er lu lu lu~"

"Yi!"

The snowstorm horse and the spirit horse responded enthusiastically, E Gui Peng nodded happily, but Lei Guan Wang acted extremely shy.

It stammered: "Luo, luo you."

"Luo you?"

Baimu teased, looking at it, waiting for Lei Guan Wang to become so shy she couldn't hold back, then laughed loudly and stroked her big head, "If you miss me, that's good! I miss you too!"

Facing Baimu's directness, Lei Guan Wang let out a light hum, her expression especially pleased.

Suddenly, it seemed to recall something.

"Chaos Dream returns."

"It's back? So soon?"

"Yes, on this trip out, it seems to have brought back many Pokémon." Lei Guan Wang described what it "saw."

Obviously, Chaos Dream had again rescued a bunch of wild Pokémon from somewhere and then moved them to the secluded Pokémon Paradise.

"That's good, this land is too vast; if only humans lived here, it would be too monotonous."

Baimu nodded, revealing the crystal pendant on his chest, "Look at this."

Lei Guan Wang's gaze dropped, "This object…… dead thing? Living thing?"

It could feel the powerful energy contained within, but for a moment it was hard to judge whether this energy possessed the vitality of life.

"It's alive, look."

Baimu gestured for the multi-sided phone to play the video, while also opening all the Poké Balls.

Peng peng peng!

Bo Shi Duo La and other Pokémon landed, each running off in different directions.

Most headed toward the villa, but some went elsewhere.

For example, Bo Shi Duo La and the alternate color Mei Na Si, one was preparing to patrol the mountain, the other wanted to go swim in Wang Yue Lake.

After swimming, they would return home along the water channel.

Lei Guan Wang carefully watched the video content, and after a while said: "What a miraculous existence……"

"When its power recovers, my school's competitiveness will increase greatly!"

Baimu hehe laughed.

The construction progress on Ni An Island has reached 70%, expected to be completed by year-end.

Some school districts have already been completed——

Pre-enrollment can begin!

Of course, teachers haven't all been hired yet, so enrolling students now seems a bit strange.

However, in Xi Bo City, related rumors have already emerged.

Shan Ren San often complains, and someone came to his door asking if it's really true.

Ou Lei has long suffered from the lack of a trainer school!

Over two years have passed, the necessary infrastructure is in place, the alliance has been built, but the crucial trainer school is still missing.

As a result, many children of suitable age who aren't interested in traveling can only go to other regions to attend trainer schools, or simply enroll in cultural schools.

Therefore, upon learning that Baimu was preparing to establish a school, the Ou Lei Alliance internally gave strong support.

It can be said that basically no one would oppose this proposal.

Even they generally have a small wish—

Can Baimu open a few extra small stoves for the first batch of students, like the Huang Tie Arena back then?

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Same joy, same joy."

One person and one deer communicated while rushing forward, the villa's gate opened wide, revealing a spotless living room.

Alolan Meow Meow curled up on the wicker chair by the door, yawning with sleepy eyes.

It seemed to have just noticed Baimu, and upon seeing him, immediately leapt over excitedly, "Meow wu!!"

"Meow meow!"

Baimu reached out to catch it, stroking its silky, smooth top-grade fur, "Thank you for cleaning the house so spotlessly."

"Meow~"

Alolan Meow Meow shamelessly started acting cute.

In the corner, Tao Dalang rushed out and lunged straight at Baimu's face, shaking his little hands in a gesture showing he had also put in effort.

—It really had put in effort, and very conscientiously.

"Good, good, good, you've also worked hard." Baimu gently patted its head.

Since Tao Dalang became willing to follow orders and take the field, their relationship has grown increasingly harmonious, a change that surprised Tao Dalang greatly.

As for the memories in the mind……

Who cares!

Just be good to it now!

Tao Dalang is very pragmatic and lives in the present.

Baimu entered, took off his clothes, washed away all the fatigue of the past half month, and lazily lay back on the sofa.

"Meow~"

Alolan Meow Meow thoughtfully brought over a refreshing drink.

Its movements were extremely swift, and even E Gui Pun Gen, who also wanted to show diligence, didn't have time to act.

"Bo ni o~"

Xiao Pun Gan sighed in admiration.

In this household, everything about trainers is exaggerated to the extreme; a slight lapse means missing the opportunity.

The television was turned on, playing Ah Du's match recording.

Leiguanwang Dao said: "Next round opponent?"

"Hmm, very strong, I need to take it easy."

Baimu nodded slightly.

?? ps: I really wanted to write Mega Quick Dragon for Ah Du, but what ability does Mega Quick Dragon have?

Multiscale? Mental Power? Or the rumored flying skin?

If you have ideas, bring them up.

Also, Mega Gengar has feet! I'm going crazy! So scary! (Image from Pokémon吧)
