Chapter 1267: Mother Delia

Back to the backyard.

Most of Ash's Pokémon were here.

They were pityingly watching two lumps of "charcoal"—no, it was Professor Oak and Gary.

Beside the charcoal, Regieleki was hopping around, and Regidrago was silent.

A bit further away was a scrapped camera.

The situation was obvious; in the process of recording research data, Professor Oak and Gary had triggered the unlucky constitution of being attacked by Pokémon.

This matter was recorded in popular science videos such as "Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture" and "Professor Oak's Pokémon Encyclopedia" in the early ending eggs of the anime.

Seeing this scene, All Baimu instantly felt like he was pulled back to his childhood, walking up with a smile, "Professor, Gary, how did you end up like this?"

"Ahahaha~"

Professor Oak was slightly embarrassed, but soon patted the dust off his body, saying, "Research is just like this; without being attacked by Pokémon once or twice, how can one produce real and reliable data?"

Gary restored his hair, which had been electrocuted into an explosion, to a hedgehog style, agreeing, "In interacting with Pokémon, being attacked is also a very important part!"

You guys...

Do people from Pallet Town really have some kind of bloodline?

All Baimu recalled the past; in the early days in Orre, he didn't even dare to be grazed by ordinary Pokémon, let alone legendary existences like Regieleki.

But Professor Oak and the others were already used to being attacked by Pokémon, and the brave Ash even dared to actively face Pokémon moves.

The difference between people was too great.

He walked to Regieleki, put on insulated gloves to touch its warm surface, and smiled, "Don't be so rough, cooperate quietly."

"Beep beep beep~ Regi~"

Regieleki's facial dot matrix flickered, and the hopping movement symbolizing excitement gradually slowed down.

Although it still looked at Calyrex very unpleasantly and often had to fight it, it was still quite obedient with All Baimu.

A bit worse than Regidrago.

Ash, seeing the prey, ran to the dragon pillar, "Long time no see! Remember me? Pikachu has battled you!"

"Regi regi regi!"

How could Regidrago forget Ash and Pikachu? It was almost one-shot by 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt back then!

Thanks to its thick blood and the power of the full-state Terastal Giant Dragon, it barely kept its life.

Now—

Uh.

It was hard to say now.

From Regidrago's perspective, the power of 【10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt】 was extraordinary; half a year had passed, and while its level might not have improved much, its overall strength had indeed increased.

Yet it still didn't dare guarantee it could take 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.

Shame!

Regidrago's facial dot matrix flashed wildly, causing Ash and Pikachu to curiously circle around it, "What's wrong with it? Hungry?"

As soon as the words fell, his own stomach rumbled instead.

After his finished, Pikachu's followed.

"Hehehe~"

"Pika pika~"

The two good partners smiled at each other and shouted to All Baimu, "All Baimu! Let's go to my house for dinner!"

"I didn't prepare a gift, it's not very good to visit rashly..."

Before he could refuse, All Baimu had already been pushed away from Professor Oak's backyard by him.

Pikachu also enthusiastically wagged its tail at Hydreigon with a smile.

Hydreigon: "... Hydreigon."

It responded.

This dragon was often more tolerant of the strong, and Pikachu undoubtedly ranked among the strong.

All Baimu had a heart to see Delia and Mr. Mime, following along half-reluctantly.

Greninja and Oshawott accompanied them.

The former had an appointment to battle later, while the latter simply wanted to follow; seeing it skillfully pass through the laboratory hall and move toward Ash's house first, it was clearly not the first time doing so.

Pallet Town, as a small rural town, fully demonstrated what it meant to be sparsely populated.

Houses were separated by a hundred meters, with lush green grass and clusters of small trees in between.

"Mom!"

Ash shouted in front of a small house.

As the protagonist of the Pokémon anime series, no matter how Ash's identity changed, his home remained a two-story building.

Limited by this, Ash couldn't keep the Pokémon he caught at home and had to entrust them to Professor Oak.

Click~

The door opened.

"Mime~"

What came into view was the apron-wearing nanny Mr. Mime, whom Ash's mother, Delia, called "Mimey."

What was quite funny was that Delia mistook Mr. Mime, who was wearing Ash's clothes at the time, for her son, and didn't realize the mistake until the real Ash returned.

But she didn't drive it away later, instead catching it and keeping it at home to do housework.

When Brock stayed at Ash's house before, it even competed to do housework, causing quite a few jokes.

And it was quite strong; in the early stages of the journey, Ash had borrowed its power—

Ash was really something, preferring to use his mother's Pokémon rather than let his old Pokémon return.

"Ash~ why are you back so late? What happened at Professor Oak's?"

Accompanied by an intellectual voice, Delia, one of the goddess-level characters in the Pokémon anime world, appeared.

She saw the person beside Ash and covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh my~ who is this?"

"My name is All Baimu, Ash's friend, here to visit." All Baimu didn't know where he pulled out a box, smiling and handing it over.

Delia took it with a smile, "Welcome, welcome! Honestly, Ash's friend is so polite—a premium gift box of Rage Candy Bars?"

"Mime!?"

Mr. Mime looked over upon hearing the sound, staring at the box in Delia's hand as if looking at gold.

Ash was confused, "What rage, premium?"

Delia didn't answer, enthusiastically inviting All Baimu into the house.

And in the unknown shadows, a certain gray fatty quietly shattered.

"Gengar..."

Why were its hands so clumsy, touching anything but this!

This gift box was something it had spent a lot of effort to snap up, planning to eat half during a live stream in two days to show off, and leave the other half for its Trainer!

As a result, just now the Trainer asked it to find something that could be sent out, and it couldn't find anything after searching high and low; seeing Delia appear, it panicked and pulled this thing out to hand over.

Sigh! So angry!

But there was no reason to take back what was sent out.

Life is not easy, the gray fatty sighed.

Outside, All Baimu successfully entered Ash's home, seeing many scenes from the anime with his own eyes for the first time.

It was larger than expected, full of life, and full of warmth.

Ash quickly ran to the coffee table, poured a glass of water and drank half, leaving the other half for Pikachu.

Pikachu drank two sips, only to be snatched away by the nosy Oshawott.

"Pika..."

"Oshawott!"

The electric mouse was speechless.

Greninja squatted coolly in the corner; it was the type with a relatively isolated personality, and had once screened Trainers until it met Ash.

Delia invited All Baimu to sit down, handed him fruit and snacks, and poured tea herself.

"Since you are Ash's friend, just treat this as your own home, don't be polite."

"Alright."

He nodded slightly.

Delia was a relatively common female character in Pokémon fan fiction.

Among them, the adult version was a fixed NPC, and there were few works without her, which could be said to be the main target of persecution for some Pokémon fans after they grew up.

All Baimu didn't have any strange thoughts about her, just curious about Ash's father.

Should there be a family photo at home?

His gaze shifted, and he really found one.

Huh?

This is—

Hmm, don't know him.

All Baimu searched all the episodes in his mind and confirmed there was no such person.

It was once said on the internet that Ash's father was Silver, whom Ritchie met.

Ritchie, the one who used Pikachu to battle Ash in the Indigo Conference, but automatically won because Ash's Charizard didn't listen.

Silver, who appeared in the side story "The Legend of the Sky-Crossing, Ritchie and Moltres," used Chikorita and Salamence, chasing Moltres in an attempt to catch it.

The other party didn't look much like Ash from the appearance, and seeing Ash's real father now, it was considered a complete clarification of the relationship between the two.

"Mom! I'm hungry! Is lunch ready~"

Ash returned home and completely turned into a spoiled elementary school student, shouting for his mom to eat.

Delia got up helplessly, saying, "Alright, alright, right away. All Baimu, please stay for lunch?"

She took the initiative to invite him.

All Baimu naturally wouldn't refuse.

The anime playing today was "Ash's Home Cooking. avi"!

Lunch was ordinary yet sumptuous; Delia fried many croquettes, made some other fried foods, and accompanied them with miso soup, etc.

All Baimu rarely ate this kind of Japanese home cooking and felt it tasted good.

There was no share for Pikachu and the others; they ate Pokémon food made by Delia.

Fried food was ultimately too greasy for Pokémon.

Hydreigon was naturally assigned a portion, but it showed little interest; how could home-cooked flavors compare to the "love cooking" made by the Trainer himself?

But considering All Baimu was eating with relish, it had to finish the plate.

When out and about, one had to give the Trainer face.

After a full meal.

Ash touched his bulging belly with satisfaction, "Mom's croquettes are always so delicious!"

"Is that so?"

Delia smiled lovingly, and said to All Baimu, who was wiping his mouth, "Sorry, the hospitality was poor."

As a housewife who often shopped online and on TV, she knew too well how powerful someone who could get Rage Candy Bars, a luxury gift box, was.

That was a collection item limited to one hundred per region!

A treasure sold by the Mahogany Town candy store only during festivals every year; in the past, she could only drool across the screen, who would have thought she could receive it as a gift today.

"Time to digest!"

Ash, full and warm, thought of battle, excitedly getting up and looking at All Baimu, "Come on! Long time no—"

"Wait a moment."

All Baimu raised his hand, saying, "My other Pokémon haven't eaten yet."

Delia said upon hearing this, "Other Pokémon? There are quite a few left at home—"

"No need, I brought quite a few, and their appetites are a bit big, so I won't trouble you."

All Baimu smiled slightly.

Quite a few...

In Delia and Ash's confused eyes, All Baimu went outside and opened the Pokéballs toward the lawn.

Bang bang bang.

A series of light sounds.

All Baimu's Pokémon, whose sizes were clearly extraordinary, landed.

"Goo roar~"

"Chido."

"Honga!"

"Milo~"

In the noisy calls, Delia covered her mouth, "This is really..."

A situation she couldn't handle alone.

Ash laughed excitedly, "So amazing! Everyone is here! This is already more than six!"

"Right, I'm used to keeping my main Pokémon by my side."

All Baimu snapped his fingers with a smile.

The gray fatty, having recovered from its sad mood, appeared, with bread crumbs and oil stains on the corners of its mouth.

"Gengar!"

It was because it saw All Baimu eating so deliciously that it secretly asked the Trainer to leave a piece.

Four-dimensional belly, activate!

Rice bowls, buckets, basins, and vats were arranged in order, filled with golden, glowing food.

Oshawott froze in place.

First, the shiny Milotic was too beautiful, causing it to be petrified like Hancock; second, the glowing food was too tempting, controlling its sense of smell.

Lust and gluttony overlapped, and Oshawott's program crashed.

"Oshawott..."

"Pika chu!"

Pikachu went up to greet Aggron and the others; everyone was an old friend who had met on the Nebel Plateau.

Well, Gengar was also an old friend, even if it stood on the opposite side back then.

The lively atmosphere and the aroma of food attracted other residents of Pallet Town.

Everyone was startled by the scene before them.

"This is..."

"So many big Pokémon! That Steelix! Bigger than Shiba's Onix!"

"Orre Champion! All Baimu!"

The children recognized these Pokémon at a glance, and then saw All Baimu himself, excitedly rushing up.

Unlike Ash, the first Alola Champion, who was rarely known by Trainers from other regions, All Baimu's reputation was clear even in the rural town of Pallet Town.

Delia woke up like a dream, "Ah! All Baimu is the Orre Champion! No wonder he looked familiar!"

"Mime..."

Mr. Mime was ashamed; it had recognized him long ago.

When Ash was watching the Orre League Conference at home, the three of them were clearly watching it together!

You are a bit dazed.

Dragapult hated crowded environments, holding its rice bowl and disappearing; Aggron and the others were already used to being stared at, burying their heads to enjoy themselves.

The teenagers surrounded All Baimu; they had already learned of the upcoming Masters Eight battle arrangements and were looking forward to it.

Ash and Pikachu were blocked outside and couldn't squeeze in for a long time.

His Kalos League victory and Alola Champion title were really not very prestigious.

Or perhaps they were too familiar?

After all, Ash was everyone's neighbor, and the people of Pallet Town knew exactly what he was like; when he came back before, he must have received very popular treatment, but slowly it disappeared.

"Oshawott~"

Oshawott didn't know when it recovered, and picked a small bouquet of flowers from the flower field, sending it to the shiny Milotic.

Its eyes were completely replaced by pink hearts, and the speed of its little tail wagging was comparable to a propeller.

"Milo? Milo~"

Shiny Milotic took it with a smile; it had never been stingy with others' kindness, and the flowers were quite nice.

And in Oshawott's view, this was equivalent to Milotic accepting its love!

"Oshawott!!"

Oshawott jumped three feet high in excitement; it had successfully become single today!

But soon, Poryphone appeared in front of it, indicating that things were not what it thought.

"Oshawott? Oshawott!"

Oshawott didn't believe it; it thought Milotic must have a good impression of it!

Poryphone sighed, turning to ask, "Do you like Aggron?"

"Milo? Milo!"

"Do you like Aggron more than Oshawott?"

"Milo!"

"Osha... wott..."

Oshawott looked at Milotic's smiling face, and a heart quietly shattered.

How could... it be...

Too cruel...

It was heartbroken!

Oshawott knelt on the ground in despair. ===== CHAPTER 1268 =====
