Chapter 1296: Fighting the Forest Noble

~13 min read 2,502 words

At the entrance of Jubilife Village.

Professor Laventon and Akari saw All Baimu off.

"Master, are you really leaving?"

The girl's face was full of reluctance. Although they had only known each other for a few days, All Baimu had taught her many things.

He also taught her how to make good items like paralysis bombs and poison powder bombs.

The two sides had forged a deep friendship.

"I'll be back; this is just a long trip."

All Baimu smiled and touched Akari's head, then nodded to Professor Laventon, who was also full of emotion. "See you in a few days!"

With that, he hugged Ogerpon and sat on the back of Hydreigon.

"Sha-sang!"

The dragon flapped its wings and took off, its high-pitched roar full of joy.

During this time, the trainer had been favoring him and hadn't ridden Miraidon much, which made him very happy.

Sure enough, after defeating Lance's Dragonite, he was one step closer to the throne of the ace Pokémon and was more valued by the trainer.

"Have a safe trip!"

Professor Laventon and Akari waved at All Baimu's back until his figure disappeared into the sky.

In the Galaxy Team headquarters office, Cyllene looked out the window.

"He's gone."

"Yes, according to the information my subordinate found, this person intends to look for the 'Noble' and 'Lady,' and the purpose is also for the plates." Tsukigami knelt on one knee.

He and Cyllene were of the same clan. Their hometown was destroyed by violent Pokémon, so they were reduced to coming to Hisui to reclaim land.

Cyllene said: "Plates, huh. I hope he won't be unfavorable to Jubilife Village..."

Previously, he asked All Baimu why he was looking for the plates through Professor Laventon, but received a response of "mission."

Who directed it? Who ordered it?

Unknown.

Seeing that the other party had already left, Cyllene also extinguished the idea of exploring.

He didn't have such deep vigilance for every immigrant, but All Baimu's performance was too bizarre.

Powerful Pokémon, mysterious origins—Cyllene not going to the bottom of it made his identity as the leader of the Galaxy Team seem less competent.

——

The "Noble" and "Lady."

That is, the ten partners of the human heroes in ancient times.

They challenged Arceus together, the result was unknown, but they were recognized by the latter, and from then on, the ten Pokémon received the blessing of power, passing it down from generation to generation.

The People of the Origin admired these ten Pokémon and called them the "Noble" and "Lady."

They were Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Ursaluna, Hisuian Lilligant, Basculegion, Hisuian Arcanine, Sneasler, Hisuian Electrode, Hisuian Braviary, and Hisuian Avalugg.

They were exactly the ten statues set up in the Temple of Sinnoh!

All Baimu's first stop on this trip was the Obsidian Fieldlands, which happened to be home to two of them—Wyrdeer and Kleavor.

And in the game, the Nobles and Ladies were divided into two categories: one category needed to use balms, which were packages made of things the "Nobles" loved, to soothe them; the second category didn't need balms, and after gaining recognition, one could borrow their power.

Wyrdeer belonged to the second category, and Kleavor belonged to the first category.

However, the premise of using balms was that the "Noble" had fallen into a frenzy, and the cause of the frenzy came from the dark clouds and thunder manufactured by Giratina.

Now that both had been solved in advance, he didn't need to do it himself, right?

All Baimu held this idea and looked down at the vast fieldlands on the ground.

In his memory, the "Noble" was taken care of by a warden. The warden responsible for taking care of Wyrdeer was named Mai, belonging to the Diamond Clan, suspected to be the ancestor of the partner trainer Lian in the game.

He originally thought it would be more convenient to look for people from high altitude, but after looking around, he couldn't find their whereabouts.

All Baimu shook his head, "The troublesome thing about ancient times is that you can't find people."

If he could directly contact the leaders of the Pearl Clan and the Diamond Clan, it would undoubtedly be very convenient.

The whereabouts of Wyrdeer and Mai were hard to find, so he simply skipped them and went to the depths of the Obsidian Fieldlands to look for Kleavor.

All Baimu remembered that Kleavor's location was fixed.

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon accelerated, and when passing by a big river, he suddenly saw a "familiar" figure in the distance.

All Baimu saw it too.

"A Gyarados flying in the sky!?"

Porygon-Phone was astonished and turned on the camera function to record it.

It's not rare for Gyarados to fly, but wild Gyarados rarely leave the water. After all, they are aquatic Pokémon, and underwater is their home field.

Porygon-Phone recorded several segments in a row, sighing: "It's really rare to see; is the ecological environment of the Hisui era different from the future?"

"Hard to say."

All Baimu was also very curious why all the "Nobles" and "Ladies" disappeared in later generations.

He didn't disturb the free-flying Gyarados, and Hydreigon soon arrived at the mountain road not far from the towering tree, landing on the road with obvious artificial traces.

As soon as he landed, he noticed someone approaching.

"Hey! Who are you! You can't just approach here!"

The scolding voice entered his ears.

All Baimu turned to the side and saw a short boy wearing a cowboy hat under a big tree ten meters away.

From the appearance that resembled Lian, it was not difficult to see that the other party was Lian, the warden responsible for taking care of Kleavor.

"My name is All Baimu. Did your leader, Irida, mention me to you?"

He didn't care about the other party's impolite attitude, and asked politely.

Lian's expression softened slightly, "You're the one who said Almighty Sinnoh isn't Palkia?"

"It's me."

All Baimu didn't expect the other party's focus to be here.

Lian snorted: "Your guts are quite big! You dare to say such things casually!"

"Hehehe..."

He smiled and didn't argue with the other party about the established facts. "I want to get the plate from Kleavor, can you make it convenient?"

Perhaps it was his own age and appearance, or perhaps Kleavor hadn't fallen into a frenzy, Lian's attitude was clearly different from the game.

He was already prepared to be rejected.

But unexpectedly, Lian said: "Whether it's convenient or not is not up to me; I have to ask the Forest Noble Kleavor."

He turned around and walked forward first, "Follow me, I'll take you to ask."

"... Thank you."

All Baimu and Porygon2 looked at each other and followed immediately.

Lian walked and warned: "Kleavor's temper is not good, don't provoke it in a while."

"Then I have to know what it hates."

All Baimu paused, "By the way, does it have anything it likes?"

Lian looked at him sideways, "Kleavor likes Oran Berries. If you want to please it, you can collect some."

"Coincidentally, I happen to have some."

He smiled and took out light green pods from his pocket.

There are five kinds of Pokémon food in the game, namely honey, grain, bean, mushroom, and mineral.

Every Pokémon has its corresponding preferences, and throwing them at Pokémon can increase the probability of capture.

All Baimu had collected these five kinds early, just for use now.

Lian was very surprised. This guy who didn't look like a good person was unexpectedly very thoughtful!

Undoubtedly.

Lian's initial bad attitude was based on All Baimu's special cold and fierce temperament. For him who had been living in the wild for many years, he knew that people or Pokémon with this kind of temperament were not to be provoked.

He had to show a momentum that matched it to deter the other party.

But with the current communication, Lian found that All Baimu was actually not as fierce as his appearance, so he changed his attitude.

The two arrived at the giant tree.

Lian said: "This is the Giant Tree Arena, where Kleavor practices daily."

"The thunderclouds on Mount Coronet a few days ago seemed to have some influence on it. Although the clouds have dispersed now, the temper is still a bit bad, you have to be careful."

All Baimu nodded when he heard this, thinking that since the space-time rift was gone, would Kleavor still fall into a frenzy?

The two came to the bottom of the giant tree, in front of a stone.

Lian said: "I'm going to call it, be careful yourself."

With that, he lowered his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Oh, our Noble who works hard between heaven and earth~ please appear..."

Porygon-Phone couldn't help but say in All Baimu's ear: "The voice is so small, can Kleavor hear it?"

"Estimated—"

Before the voice fell, the manic wind struck from a distance, followed by dense footsteps!

Thump thump thump thump thump—

The trembling ground and fluttering fallen leaves were all spreading a sense of deterrence.

In the blink of an eye, a huge yellowish-brown figure came with the wind, galloping around the Giant Tree Arena, and then circled and jumped up, landing heavily at the bottom of the giant tree.

"Gula!!"

The heavy giant double axes were buried in the solid soil, showing their sharpness.

Forest Noble Kleavor appeared in front of All Baimu.

"Gula!"

Its cold-shining eyes swept over Lian, then looked at the fierce Hydreigon, then at Ogerpon, and finally at All Baimu and the little turtle on his head.

The Thousand-Year Arm in its mouth was clearly in sight.

Kleavor was stunned.

It was not the "Noble" of the first generation, so it naturally didn't recognize the Arceus represented by the Thousand-Year Arm, but it could sense the unique charm emitted from the Thousand-Year Arm.

A meaning that came from the same source as itself!

"Kleavor!"

Lian stepped forward and said: "I am deeply sorry for the abrupt disturbance. This person wants to obtain a plate from you, I hope you know!"

All Baimu stood behind Lian, bowed, and said: "I came to complete the mission entrusted by Almighty Sinnoh, I hope the Forest Noble will make it convenient."

"Poni-oh~"

Ogerpon blinked and raised its little hand to wave a greeting.

But it didn't get any response.

It was a bit confused and puzzled, "Poni-oh?"

Porygon-Phone noticed its behavior and leaned over to ask: "Do you know Kleavor?"

"Poni-oh..."

Ogerpon's expression was tangled.

The memory in its mind told it that it had met Kleavor, but why didn't Kleavor react to it?

The little Ogerpon couldn't figure it out.

And Kleavor, after learning All Baimu's request, looked at the Thousand-Year Arm again, with a bit of realization in its expression.

It shook its body, and a verdant plate fell down.

"Is that the plate?"

Lian was seeing it for the first time, and was about to go over to pick it up, but was scolded by Kleavor, "Gula!"

"Can't I take it?"

Lian stopped in disappointment and turned to say: "It seems you have to go yourself."

All Baimu watched Kleavor take a step back, as if inviting him to come over, and a prediction arose in his heart: "Okay."

He walked closer, just as he was about to approach the plate, a fierce wind came from the front!

"Sha-sang!"

"Poni-oh!"

Lian's exclamation was a beat late, "Careful!"

Thump!

The giant axe was buried deep in the soil, cutting off the space between the plate and All Baimu, revealing Kleavor's battle-ready expression.

"GULA!!"

If you want the plate, defeat me first!!

Hydreigon and Ogerpon immediately showed unhappy expressions and prepared for battle.

"Really..."

All Baimu said helplessly: "No suspense at all."

Just from Kleavor's action of not letting Lian approach, it wasn't hard to see Kleavor's thoughts.

Lian's expression changed: "Kleavor challenged you, can you do it?"

"Me? I should be able to."

All Baimu originally wanted to say it was easy, but after thinking about it carefully, he said to Hydreigon and Ogerpon: "You guys don't make a move yet."

"Sha-sang?"

"Poni-oh~"

Hydreigon looked speechless, Ogerpon nodded obediently, their expressions were different.

But they all knew the trainer was preparing to do it himself.

Is it necessary?

This question was also asked by Porygon2, who felt that Kleavor was not so easy to mess with.

"It's hard to come to Hisui, it's boring to win by relying on Pokémon."

All Baimu snapped his fingers with a smile, and the Shiny Gengar emerged from the shadow to provide logistical support.

Kleavor didn't know why, but waited until All Baimu finished taking things from the Shiny Gengar, and then attacked fiercely!

"Gula!"

Fierce wind attacked!

The huge stone axe smashed toward All Baimu, who was holding the Porygon electric stick, shining with cold light as if to split him in half!

But All Baimu only leaned back and dodged the stone axe, and at the same time threw something at Kleavor's face.

Kleavor immediately raised its axe to block, and after checking, it found that it was actually the Oran Berries it loved.

"Gula?"

What do you mean?

It looked at All Baimu again, but the latter had already retreated more than ten meters away.

"Gula!"

Where to escape!

Kleavor shouted and chased All Baimu with nimble steps, but the latter's movements were extremely agile, dodging its pursuit with side flashes, leaning back, and backflips again and again.

The two ran out of the Giant Tree Arena all the way, and I don't know how many small trees were cut down by Kleavor along the way.

During this period, All Baimu kept throwing Oran Berries at Kleavor's face.

Kleavor was willing to block a few at first, but later it was too lazy to block and let the Oran Berries hit its face.

"Hooked."

All Baimu's mouth hooked up, and he changed to a sleep bomb.

Bang!

Light purple powder covered Kleavor's face.

It was astonished to find that this was not an Oran Berry, and its keen combat potential made it swing its axe, rolling up a wild wind to disperse it.

However, it could disperse the part that filled the air, but because of its previous carelessness, it inhaled part of the sleep powder.

Kleavor's steps suddenly became sluggish.

Seeing this, All Baimu threw several more sleep bombs, wrapping Kleavor completely.

The reason why he didn't use it at the beginning was to consider the wild wind Kleavor set off when it came.

If it couldn't be inhaled in the first time, no amount of bombs would work.

Fortunately, Kleavor didn't understand the truth of "all is fair in war," was deceived by a few Oran Berries, and was finally covered by sleep bombs, completely becoming a turtle in a jar.

"Hehehe."

All Baimu picked up the Porygon electric stick that was rattling, and approached the sluggish Kleavor slowly.

Lian looked at him in surprise, "This..." ===== CHAPTER 1297 =====
