Chapter 1273

Quartz Plateau.

Located deep in the towering mountains, it symbolizes the place of supreme glory in the Kanto region.

Around noon.

Hydreigon carried All Baimu to this place; Bruno did not accompany him.

He still had to continue his physical and mental training in the valley; as for All Baimu's battle with Lance, he would watch it via live stream on his phone.

The giant Onix was very disappointed; it hadn't had time to start a second round, and its "wife-to-be" had already fled.

This forced Bruno to comfort it:

"There will always be a chance."

Is there really?

The Onix looked forward to it eagerly, and at the same time, recalling the Steelix's shimmering silver figure, a seed named evolution was planted in its heart.

If it could be as hard as the Steelix, it would surely not fall behind in the next battle!

"Quartz League Athletes' Village..."

All Baimu looked down from a high place.

He only felt that many familiar buildings could correspond to the fragmented images in his mind.

The Poryphone said: "Isn't it a bit simple?"

In its view, as a mainstream region with a long history, and with Champion Lance being so famous, the Kanto region should be more modern and technological.

How could the Athletes' Village be similar to an ordinary small town?

All Baimu replied: "It's enough. They've been prosperous for decades, unlike us who are just starting out and need to do everything to the best."

From the explosive number of Gyms in the Kanto region, as well as the unprofessional behavior of the Gym Leaders, one could see that the Kanto region's Quartz League had a "grassroots" flavor.

But as he said, it's enough.

The Pokémon anime world doesn't have the drama of great powers fighting for hegemony; everyone can coexist peacefully.

The only things to worry about are the Grimer and Rattata in the gutters like Team Rocket.

However, Team Rocket has been rampant for so many years, and Kanto hasn't been affected much.

At worst, merge with Johto!

Anyway, the champions of both regions are the same person, and their League headquarters are very close—

Quartz Plateau and the Mt. Silver range are right next to each other.

At that time, take the "Kanto" character from Kanto and the "Johto" character from Johto, and a brand new large region will appear just like that.

Hydreigon landed in a quiet forest; by this time, a large number of tourists had already visited the Athletes' Village.

Undoubtedly, they were all here to watch the match between All Baimu and Lance.

Walking among the crowd and Pokémon, one could often see media reporters carrying large video equipment.

"Quick, quick! Will and Karen are here!"

"Johto Elite Four? Are they here to support Lance?"

Before All Baimu could find a place to stay, the voices coming from around him made him change his destination.

Will? Karen?

These two Johto Elite Four members never appeared in the anime, unlike the Special manga.

First, they became subordinates of the Masked Man Pryce, and then they formed a wandering Elite Four group with the Team Rocket executive Archer and the villain Elite Four member Bruno from the manga.

But in another fan manga All Baimu read, "Festival of Kings," there was a highlight moment for Karen.

This made him feel a little curious about Karen.

Moving in the direction of the crowd, All Baimu, who was hiding with concealment, soon saw his target.

【Queen of Evil】 Karen; 【The Fancy Psychic】 Will.

Their makeup and costumes were not much different from the games; the former was a fashionable spicy girl outfit, and the latter was a formal dress and mask.

Thanks to his height, even though it was difficult for All Baimu to squeeze into the depths of the crowded crowd, he could still clearly see their figures.

"Ms. Karen! Mr. Will! Are you here to support your partner Lance?"

"May I ask if the other two Elite Four members have arrived?"

"Who do you think will win the final victory?"

"If you were to battle All Baimu, would you have the confidence to win?"

A series of questions were thrown out; Will and Karen were obviously used to similar scenes and answered calmly.

All Baimu watched from the sidelines for a long time, didn't see their Pokémon, and heard questions he wasn't interested in, so he turned and left.

However, after he quietly left, someone beside him woke up as if from a dream.

"Huh? That person just now looked a bit familiar?"

"Eh?"

The Charmander sitting on his shoulder held its tail, not understanding what its trainer was saying.

Unfortunately, All Baimu walked too fast.

The person didn't have time to compare, and the screams coming from around him suddenly attracted his attention back to Will and Karen.

It turned out that the two had started accepting photos and autographs from fans.

The crowd was bustling, and the noise attracted more confused tourists, prompting them to join this rare carnival.

At the same time.

All Baimu had already arrived at the Pokémon Center.

The Quartz League Athletes' Village had no hotels, or rather, the Pokémon Center was the hotel, the designated accommodation for athletes and tourists, and even the champions and Elite Four had to stay here.

Therefore, it was much more prosperous than the average Pokémon Center.

The lobby was exceptionally spacious, with only a few tourists and Pokémon here, and two Nurse Joys stood at the front desk.

He found one of them and handed over his trainer ID card.

"Hello, please help me with the check-in procedure."

"Please wait a moment~"

Nurse Joy took it with a smile, was stunned after seeing the name on it, and then looked up to compare.

She couldn't help but rub her eyes.

All Baimu asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, sorry to trouble you. Welcome to the Quartz League! Champion All Baimu! I hope you have a happy time here!"

Nurse Joy smiled and skillfully registered him.

The Champion's room was on the top floor, and ordinary people couldn't go up without the corresponding room card.

This was partly out of consideration for privacy, and partly out of respect for the Champion's status; it was normal for higher status to have better treatment.

After All Baimu finished thanking her and turned to leave, the Nurse Joy next to her asked her sister in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

"Maybe I really am a bit... I actually didn't recognize All Baimu! Really~ did I not sleep well for my beauty sleep last night?"

The Nurse Joy in charge of the registration touched her cheek and couldn't help but complain.

Little did she know that as soon as she said this, the Nurse Joy who asked the question was also stunned.

"All Baimu? Who? He was here?"

"Eh? Wasn't that him just now? You didn't recognize him either? He was clearly so handsome! I remember you even said you were his fan!"

The two Nurse Joys stared at each other.

Hell!

For a celebrity like All Baimu, the designated idol of the Nurse Joy family, the idol of countless Nurse Joys, they actually didn't recognize him at the first moment!

The Nurse Joy in charge of registration couldn't help but check the computer records to confirm if she had really seen a ghost.

"So strange..."

"Ask him next time he comes."

The die-hard fan Nurse Joy was eager to try; she decided to work overtime for the next two days to increase the probability of encountering him.

The Nurse Joy next to her smiled when she heard this: "You really like him~"

"Are there any in our family who don't?"

She snorted.

Liking someone because of a Pokémon is not a rare thing.

The inseparable connection between the Nurse Joy family and the Blissey group destined them to naturally have a good impression of trainers who could treat them well and raise them well.

Not to mention that All Baimu was shining in many fields with his Blissey.

In the battle with Kalos Champion Diantha, the highlight moment of Blissey, the scene of hugging Gardevoir after defeating it, didn't know how many Nurse Joys were moved to tears.

——

Top floor room.

All Baimu released some Pokémon and lay on the sofa to rest.

"It was really worth the trip."

He recalled everything he had encountered these days.

Many childhood memories were witnessed with his own eyes, and some regrets were made up for.

It was difficult for the Poryphone to empathize with All Baimu's thoughts, after all, it knew nothing about the latter's past, but seeing the trainer so happy, it was naturally happy too.

Rested until the afternoon.

All Baimu took a shower and went downstairs for a stroll.

The autumn in the Kanto region was much colder than expected, the changing climate appeared in the wind, blowing fallen leaves all over the ground.

He took the initiative to greet the two Nurse Joys at the front desk, and when asked about the previous situation, he smiled and explained his concealment technique.

"There's such an ability!"

"Well, it really suits you!"

Two nearly identical faces made completely different expressions, which stunned All Baimu.

Nurse Joy's genes are really strong!

He had a strange expression, only feeling that this family and the Officer Jenny family were more like Pokémon than the real newcomers.

After all, Nurse Joys don't have the custom of intermarriage, and most of their husbands are ordinary people.

And the biggest difference between Nurse Joy and Nurse Joy might be skin color.

Hmm.

There is a tanned Nurse Joy in the Orange Islands, which has a unique flavor!

All Baimu left the Pokémon Center, and the tourists outside were significantly fewer than at noon.

"Let's go, let's go see the arena."

He decided to familiarize himself with the arena environment in advance.

But on the way, he felt an aura unique to Dragon Pokémon, and usually, those he could feel wouldn't be weak.

Lance?

All Baimu walked over with great interest, passed through the golden and fiery red maple forest, and saw the source of the aura.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

Appearing there were the cute Dragonair, the floating Kingdra, and a blue-haired woman with a high ponytail.

——The Gym Leader of Blackthorn City, Lance's cousin, the Holy Dragon Envoy, Clair!

The other party didn't seem to notice him; only Dragonair realized the approach of another Dragon Tamer: "Woo?"

"What's wrong?"

Clair looked over when she heard the sound, taking in All Baimu, who had lifted his concealment.

She was surprised: "All Baimu!"

"Hello."

All Baimu greeted her in a friendly manner.

This composed posture also made Clair's expression return to calm; she grabbed one side of her cloak and bowed: "Nice to meet you, I'm very happy to know you, Dragon Tamer All Baimu!"

"Is this the etiquette of the Johto Dragon Tamer clan?"

All Baimu returned the salute with a smile: "Nice to meet you, please take care of me, Ms. Clair. Has Champion Lance arrived?"

Clair shook her head: "Cousin... I can't contact him at the moment."

The two were childhood sweethearts, but they had met very few times after growing up.

Lance was really too busy.

As the champion of sixteen major cities in two regions, and as a Pokémon G-Man, he could consume most of his time every day just by performing missions and participating in various competitions.

Not to mention having to raise Pokémon and conduct various training.

Bluntly speaking, if it weren't for a few important holidays for Dragon Tamers, Clair might not see Lance a few times a year.

"That's really regrettable."

All Baimu walked forward slowly.

Seeing that the conversation between him and Clair was peaceful, Dragonair and Kingdra also lifted their defensive postures.

Dragon Pokémon do have a certain affinity for Dragon Tamers, but that is limited to wild Dragon Pokémon without trainers.

Clair looked behind All Baimu: "Where is your Kingdra?"

"Kingdra is resting, but I don't only have Kingdra..."

He clapped his hands lightly.

Clap clap~

In the crisp applause, Dragapult reluctantly appeared from the shadows.

It was undoubtedly the type that liked to run around, but because of its long-term secluded life, it was a bit socially anxious and didn't want to appear in front of people and Pokémon easily.

Fortunately, the innate talent of invisibility satisfied its gloomy personality.

Perhaps it was precisely because it was always invisible that it wasn't used to appearing in front of people and being seen by others?

Pokémon's personalities all have causes.

Blissey is, Mawile is, and Dragapult is naturally no exception.

Seeing the sneaky Dragapult, Clair approached with great interest: "Is this the Dragapult that tangled with the Mega Gardevoir?"

"Dreepy..."

Seeing her approach, Dragapult retreated without hesitation.

One moved forward, one moved backward.

So much so that Clair walked for a long time without getting close, and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "What's wrong with your Pokémon? Did I scare it?"

The Champion's Pokémon was scared by herself; what a niche vocabulary!

All Baimu said: "It's just not used to strangers approaching."

"Timid?"

"No, it just hates being seen, being stared at by eyes."

"That's a disease..."

Clair discussed the personality of raising Dragon Pokémon with All Baimu very skillfully.

Her Dragonair and Kingdra were just like her, generous and fearless of All Baimu's approach.

Even when touched, they just widened their eyes and didn't show any aggressive behavior.

Both sides completed a swap.

Unfortunately, Dragapult wasn't very cooperative.

But it wasn't cooperative, there were plenty of Pokémon that were.

The Dreepy sleeping in the launch hole was woken up, and seeing Clair, it took the initiative to pounce on her.

But it was bitten on the tail by the Dreepy sister who was also woken up on the way.

"Dreepy?"

"Dreepy!"

Slap!

A crisp knocking sound.

The Dreepy brother covered his head in grievance, and the Dreepy sister was furious.

Clair laughed heartily: "Your dragons are all very interesting, I'm looking forward to your Kingdra."

"Its temper isn't very good."

All Baimu shook his head.

Compared to Dragonair and Kingdra, which could be touched by him, if Hydreigon didn't have his forced orders, it could break Clair's hand if she reached out.

Why not bite it off?

Because that would contaminate the mouth, and the trainer might not let it bite his hand in the future.

Clair didn't believe in evil: "There is no dragon in the world that I can't get along with!"

"Ms. Clair is very confident..."

All Baimu studied the jewel on Dragonair's chin; it was said that this was the source of its power.

Clair snorted proudly: "I've been holding dragon eggs since I was born, and I've been in close contact with dragons every day until now! Of course I have this confidence!"

Normal Blackthorn City Dragon Tamers usually have to wait until they are five or six years old before they can officially start raising Dragon Pokémon.

Otherwise, if they are too young, it's easy to lose to some Dragon Pokémon that are also not very old.

Dragon Tamers also have to prove themselves with strength!

The first lesson for a Blackthorn City Dragon Tamer——

Defeat the dragon in front of you!

Let it acknowledge you!

Dragon Pokémon are all guys who worship strength, and young dragons are no exception.
