Chapter 1268: Battle... Fine Wine?
The drama-queen Oshawott grieved in a deserted corner.
However, it quickly perked up, setting its sights on—
Mawile!
The proud cold beauty! The elegant young lady!
"Oshawott~"
It spun around a few times on the spot, very naturally leaning over, while holding flowers from who knows where in its little claws.
"Osha~wott!"
Oshawott knelt on one knee, holding the flowers with its left claw and raising its right claw high, imitating human courtship.
This couldn't help but remind All Baimu, who was secretly watching, of Bonnie and Cilan.
Both had the strange habit of kneeling on one knee at every turn.
It's just that Bonnie was proposing for her brother, and Cilan belonged to the standard gentleman style.
Who is Cilan?
Ash's travel partner in the Unova region, one of the famous Striaton City Gym Leaders, a famous Pokémon Connoisseur.
A Trainer who roamed the world with Pansage, Crustle, and Stunfisk.
And facing Oshawott's overtures, Mawile, out of politeness, declined the bouquet.
"Chido~"
It had seen everything that happened just now; if it weren't for the many fans now and the idol baggage when going out, it might have kicked Oshawott.
You're buying vegetables here! If others don't sell, don't come to my house!
In addition, Mawile also remembered Piplup, the guy who had once shown strong favor toward it.
To this day, it was no longer the Mawile that knew nothing about emotional problems, but its thoughts remained the same.
If it liked someone, it would only like its Trainer.
There couldn't be anyone or any Pokémon in the world better to it than All Baimu.
"Oshawott?"
Oshawott, seeing itself rejected, thought the flowers were too few and not attractive enough to Mawile, and hurriedly turned back to pick more.
Poryphone sighed, "This guy, its energy is too exuberant, and its skin is thick."
How could it be so lustful!
It hadn't forgotten what this guy was doing when it saw Oshawott in the pond earlier.
Loving a new one every time it sees one!
"Chido~"
Mawile finished its lunch with a flat expression and returned to its Pokéball to rest.
For a guy who likes to pester, when it can't move its hands, staying away is the best method.
Anyway, it would be very difficult to meet again later, unless the Trainer brought it back to Silver Mountain.
But is it possible?
Mawile didn't think the Trainer would take someone else's Pokémon.
Oshawott hurriedly finished picking a large bouquet of flowers and ran back, but didn't see Mawile again, feeling inexplicably lost.
"Oshawott?"
"The young lady went back to rest, I advise you to be quiet, or go back to find that Marill."
Poryphone said gloomily.
Oshawott was very disappointed; it finally liked one... ah no, two girls.
Why wouldn't they give it even one chance?
Oshawott looked around, and after finding no other cute female Pokémon, gave up and dropped the bouquet.
This action caused All Baimu to break away from the crowd and quickly approach it.
A huge shadow fell, and Oshawott, feeling the dim light, was slightly startled, "Oshawott?"
Instead, All Baimu squatted down halfway, poking its big nose, "Hey, you made overtures to my two Pokémon, did you get my permission?
"And changing your mind so quickly, is that too disrespectful to Pokémon?"
"Osha!"
Oshawott covered its nose, first feeling angry, then a bit embarrassed, "Oshawott..."
Putting it that way, it really seems so!
All Baimu added, "And you looked at Milotic and Mawile, why didn't you look at Blissey?"
What's wrong with my big egg?
One point that had always made him very angry was that Mawile and Milotic often attracted male Pokémon, but Blissey had never been favored by any Pokémon.
"Oshawott?"
Oshawott was dazed, its gaze following All Baimu's guidance, seeing Blissey chatting happily with the Dragapult siblings.
Its expression suddenly became serious, as if thinking.
A few seconds later.
Oshawott realized, chirping righteously, "Oshawott!"
"... What did it say?"
"It said Blissey is too big and not cute enough."
Poryphone's translation made All Baimu laugh silently.
The next instant, he grabbed it, refining it instantly!
Oshawott, whose head was under strong control, struggled wildly, screaming, "Oshawott! Oshawott!"
What are you doing! It didn't say anything wrong!
"You guy with no aesthetic sense! Where is my Blissey not cute! It's big? It's you who are too small! A fool who hasn't evolved for so long!"
All Baimu said fiercely, ravaging this Oshawott he had wanted to tease for a long time.
Oshawott in the anime is cute, but occasionally makes one's blood pressure soar.
This can be considered fulfilling a dream for his childhood self.
Oshawott's soft flesh was constantly scratched, and it had no strength to fight back, only allowing All Baimu to knead it round and flat.
A few minutes later.
All Baimu finally let it go, pinching its big nose, "Go! Spare your life!"
"Osha... wott..."
Oshawott lay on its back on the soft grass, its body trembling slightly.
Really angry and tired.
And All Baimu walked straight to Blissey, gently stroking its curly hair, saying, "There are so many Pokémon with no taste, our Blissey is so cute, and they say it's not cute!"
"Happy?"
Blissey heard this out of the blue, feeling quite embarrassed, chirping reproachfully, "Happy!"
All Baimu just acted as if he didn't hear.
His love for his own Pokémon had always been straightforward; with the thinking ability of Pokémon, it was difficult to understand so-called metaphors without systematic learning.
Look at Aggron and Milotic often grouping up to watch the moon; assuming the big monster suddenly said "the moon is beautiful," could Milotic understand that this was a confession to it?
The answer is basically impossible.
Amidst the noise.
The lunch time belonging to Aggron and the others ended.
All Baimu recalled them one by one, leaving only the giant Steelix, letting it continue to play with the children of Pallet Town.
In the team, only it liked children; others, including the gentle Aggron and the silly Milotic, were not interested in children who were too lively.
"All Baimu! Let's battle!"
Ash shouted impatiently.
The more he saw these powerful Pokémon of All Baimu, the more his fighting spirit soared, wishing he could have a full battle with him.
Unfortunately, All Baimu still had an important match with Lance later.
How could Ash cause trouble for his good friend for his own selfish desires?
At most, play two practice battles to enjoy it.
All Baimu nodded, "Alright, find a place that's a bit empty."
"Yay!"
Ash shouted excitedly.
The surrounding people learned that they were going to battle and also showed special anticipation.
In recent years, Ash and Gary had achieved many accomplishments, which could be said to be the best among their peers, also making the "martial" style of Pallet Town prevalent.
As if the bloodline of Pallet Town people had been activated.
It's just a pity that no one who could rival the two had appeared yet.
——
Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Gary learned the news of the battle and hesitated for a moment before putting down the information in his hand.
"Grandpa, Ash and All Baimu are going to battle, I'll go take a look."
"Oh? The two of them are going to battle? That's really looking forward to the result, go ahead, remember to come back and tell me the process."
Professor Oak laughed.
He was also a battle enthusiast when he was young, but as he grew older, he found that the battle circle was too small and he had to spread knowledge, making battle a sport suitable for everyone.
At the same time, popularizing Pokémon to people also helped everyone recognize Pokémon, so as not to be hostile or exclude them.
Professor Oak was committed to building a harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon, creating a beautiful home together.
Therefore, his main research topic was "The Relationship Between Pokémon and Humans."
In a flash of decades, he had become an authority in the academic world, a professional consultant for many leagues, which could be said to be the TOP1 in the industry.
He hadn't seriously battled for a long time.
Occasionally he would also think of the passion of the past, especially when seeing certain acquaintances.
Knock knock knock~
"Oak, I've come to see you again."
An old voice sounded.
Professor Oak looked toward the gate, and in a trance saw a young woman against the light, but when the light dimmed, the woman turned into a blonde old woman.
"Oh! Agatha!"
He got up with a smile, "Welcome, welcome! Why do you have time to come over? Is the work at the Gym finished?"
The old woman—Kanto Elite Four Agatha said, "I heard the news and came, is All Baimu at your place."
"How did you know?"
Professor Oak was quite surprised.
Agatha walked to the sofa and sat down, drinking a cup of tea Professor Oak had brewed for her, "Officer Jenny took a photo of him riding Hydreigon."
Usually, Trainers were not allowed to ride Pokémon in the city, and All Baimu considered this point, making a big turn when he was about to enter the city.
But even so, he was still photographed by Officer Jenny, who thought he was going to enter, and after finding out it was All Baimu, she immediately notified Agatha of the Elite Four.
Although the other party was clearly here to compete, the working Officer Jenny felt that she should report it.
Agatha came to Pallet Town.
She subconsciously felt that All Baimu's flight direction didn't look like the Indigo Plateau.
"So that's it~ he is indeed in Pallet Town, and is about to battle Ash." Professor Oak responded.
Agatha pondered, "Ash? Is that the child who won the Kalos League and the Alola League Champion?"
"Exactly, exactly."
Professor Oak laughed, "Ash is now the number one star of our Pallet Town! Much stronger than me!"
Agatha snorted, "If you hadn't given up halfway, your achievements as a Trainer would only be stronger!"
"Hey, don't talk about this, don't talk about this!"
Professor Oak waved his hand embarrassedly.
Like in the game, when Professor Oak in the anime decided to "abandon martial arts for literature," he almost fell out with Agatha.
Fortunately, the positive characters in the anime world had relatively peaceful temperaments, and besides, so many years had passed, and what should be let go had been let go.
Agatha got up, "I'll go over there and take a look, together?"
"... Alright, together."
Professor Oak didn't really want to go, but couldn't bear to refuse the invitation of an old friend.
The two walked away from the laboratory slowly.
——
Open lawn.
All Baimu and Ash were dozens of meters apart, looking at each other from afar.
"I've waited too long for this moment!"
The loser's declaration came from the anime's number one male lead, he shouted, "Last time I lost to you, this time we will wash away the shame!"
"Pika!"
Pikachu knew it had no chance to play, but still gave a warning cooperatively.
Greninja stood with its arms crossed, and upon hearing this, it was about to enter the field.
Who knew a little thing was faster.
"Oshawott! Oshawott!"
It was Oshawott!
It angrily accused All Baimu of his evil deeds, and named Oshawott to battle Aggron, "Oshawott!"
To avenge the bullying of its Trainer!
To avenge Aggron's snatching of love!
Although Milotic had never shown any favor to it from beginning to end, it was definitely snatched!
It said snatched, so it was snatched!
Ash was stunned, "Oshawott—"
"It's fine, Oshawott plus Greninja, two Pokémon doesn't matter." All Baimu agreed very generously.
Ash was overjoyed upon hearing this, turned his hat brim and shouted, "Alright! Oshawott! We haven't fought side by side for a long time! I choose you!"
"Oshawott!"
Oshawott puffed out its chest and raised its head.
It, Fine Wine, was going to let Aggron know today why water was so blue!
At the same time.
All Baimu released Aggron with a smile, "Come, have a fight with your love rival."
"Goo roar..."
The big monster turned its head helplessly to look at him; where did the love rival come from.
It was fine if others were stirring up trouble, but even the Trainer followed suit; sometimes there was a sense of powerlessness where the fist couldn't hit the screen.
No.
It could hit!
Aggron decided to make a good fuss after the match ended.
Reciprocity, friendship is long~
"Goo roar!"
Aggron turned back, looking at Oshawott in the distance, its water-blue eyes gradually becoming calm and cold.
The aura belonging to a level 90 Pokémon dissipated.
Just like fitness and martial arts could change a person's aura, high-level Pokémon could often distinguish themselves from ordinary Pokémon through their appearance.
Not to mention the big monster whose size far exceeded its kind, compared to Oshawott, it was really like a small mountain.
"Oshawott..."
Oshawott's throat rolled, and sweat inexplicably dripped down its forehead.
Greninja also stopped narrowing its eyes, staring intently at Aggron.
Ash laughed, "As expected of your Pokémon! Let the match begin! I can't wait!"
A child temporarily acting as a referee waved his hand in a panic upon hearing this.
"Ma, match begin!"
"Aqua Jet!"
Ash's command followed closely!
Bang!
Only a muffled sound was heard, and Oshawott suddenly turned into a turquoise water dragon and soared into the sky!
"Oshawott!"
It shouted and approached quickly.
Once upon a time, Oshawott was still a little guy who closed its eyes tightly when using Aqua Jet, but now it was no longer so clumsy.
But...
For Aggron, it had no effect.
Wham!
The water stream exploded, turning into water mist all over the sky, and Oshawott flew out from it.
"Oshawott!"
How about that!
It raised its head to look at Aggron, who was shrouded in water mist.
This was a move it was very confident in, believing the other party would definitely be able to realize—
Whoosh.
The dark gray claws stirred the mist, revealing a huge and intact body.
"Goo roar."
Aggron opened its mouth slightly, looking at Oshawott's expression as if smiling.
This made Oshawott's expression instantly change from shock to anger, "Oshawott!!"
"Hydro Pump!"
Ash saw the probing attack didn't work and immediately changed from physical attack to special attack.
Oshawott jumped up, its cheeks bulging high, and suddenly sprayed a turquoise water column as thick as a human head!
And under the push of the water stream, it quickly moved away from Aggron.
Attack plus displacement, killing two birds with one stone!
How about that! ===== CHAPTER 1269 =====
