Chapter 1314: Wandering the Ice Sea

~13 min read 2,591 words

The top of the Snowpoint Temple.

The cold wind bit to the bone.

The fluttering snow visibly began to grow larger, and Sabi couldn't help but sneeze loudly, flicking out a ten-centimeter crystal snot.

"Hmm~~"

She wiped away the snot, covered her red, flushed face, and muttered to herself: "Need to go home quickly~"

Sabi had clearly "seen" the upcoming blizzard.

All Baimu handed the plate to Terapagos; the light flowed, and another plate phantom was added around the Arc Phone.

"Baga~"

The little turtle, awakened by the cold wind, shook the Arc Phone happily.

It was the culprit who brought All Baimu to the Hisui era, and it also valued the task of collecting all the plates the most.

Every time a new plate was obtained, it would wake up from its sleep and happily shake the Arc Phone.

Heaven knows what it has to do with it.

However, this time, even Cyllene couldn't help but marvel at the miracle, but Sabi didn't even take a few looks, and strode back to the temple with the Hisuian Braviary.

All Baimu put on the hood of his cloak again, wrapped Terapagos tightly, and followed Sabi's pace.

"Does your Diamond Clan have a gathering place in the Pure White Icelands?"

He originally wanted to stay in the Snowpoint Temple, but found that the guards here held great suspicion of his identity, so they were not very friendly, so he just gave up.

At the same time, he was also a bit worried that if he fell asleep at night, Regigigas in the depths of the temple would discover the five Legendary Titans on him and run out of its small room to find him.

At that time, it would be a horror movie, or even a disaster movie!

Sabi asked suspiciously: "Do you want to live with Sabi?"

"... To be precise, I want to find a place to spend the night."

All Baimu's mouth twitched, and he added: "Or you can tell me which cave nearby has no wild Pokémon living in it."

Sabi tilted her little head, "Cave... seems like there isn't any~ Sabi will take you to Sabi's home!"

She hopped away.

The Poryphone said: "Following?"

"Go over and take a look."

All Baimu was still relatively hoping to find a place to stay that didn't leak wind.

Fortunately, the wish was fulfilled.

The place where Sabi lived was not far from the Snowpoint Temple, with two low, dark blue earthen houses.

One house Sabi lived in herself, and the other was for other Diamond Clan members who would come here.

But according to Sabi, basically only Cyllene would come.

Because the Pure White Icelands were too cold, and it belonged to the Pearl Clan's base camp, just like Pearl Clan members generally wouldn't go to the Crimson Mirelands, Diamond Clan members probably wouldn't come here either.

"Less than ten years old, living alone in the ice and snow?"

All Baimu just wanted to say that the Diamond Clan leaving the young Sabi to live alone was simply insane.

Three "big guys" suddenly squeezed out from inside and behind her house—

Electivire, Rhyperior, and Magmortar.

"Bo-oh!"

"Sai-dong!"

"Bu-ba!"

They surrounded Sabi with concern, seemingly complaining that she only came back when the snow was flying.

Sabi smiled and reached out to stroke these giants, "I'm back~"

The Poryphone: "Another loli with a giant... She reminds me of Hapu; Hapu seems to have a ponytail too? She wouldn't be Hapu's ancestor, right?"

"Thought too much."

All Baimu shook his head.

Sabi's descendant is most likely the partner trainer Gardenia from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum; she appeared in the animation, and even had a separate scene in the Generations shorts.

It's just that unlike Sabi, who is a loli, Gardenia is a quite mature big sister.

"Can I borrow this house?"

All Baimu asked loudly.

The Pokémon surrounding Sabi turned to look, and when they saw a stranger, they immediately showed a vigilant look.

Sabi opened her round eyes, "Don't you want to live with Sabi? Sabi's house is very warm!"

"You should know the answer."

All Baimu decisively refused.

Not to mention anything else, the house was only so big, and after squeezing in those three big guys, how much stuff could be stuffed in.

Sabi nodded, "Okay."

Sometimes even if she knew the answer, she still wanted to strive for it, not to mention that All Baimu was someone whose future she couldn't see clearly.

Seeing such an existence for the first time, it would be a lie to say she wasn't curious.

After tidying up the vacant room, a large amount of items were taken out from Gengar's belly, and Blissey, Ogerpon, and Mawile were busy setting up.

They always like to do this, even if they leave the next day.

"Happy?"

"Bo-ni-oh~"

"Chi-do!"

The three were still discussing how to set up, and All Baimu had already started cooking dinner.

The wind howled outside, accompanied by crystal snowflakes, occasionally a few slipping in from the door gap, but were blocked by the thick cotton curtain.

All Baimu's face was illuminated by the warm stove; he actually liked this kind of small house, where he could see all his Pokémon at a glance.

Unfortunately, his own Pokémon were too big; like Steelix, it couldn't even fit into the villa on Mt. Silver, let alone this kind of house where Blissey and Gengar were already a bit cramped just by existing together.

It's hard to imagine how crowded Sabi's house next door could be.

Even if Rhyperior lived outside, Electivire and Magmortar could occupy a lot of space.

All Baimu stirred the ladle and soon cooked a large pot of thick soup, serving a portion and sending it to the next door against the wind and snow.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Sabi! Asleep? I cooked something for you to taste!"

Creak!

The door opened, and it was the sturdy Magmortar.

Although this guy was over two meters tall, it couldn't look down on All Baimu.

Smelling the thick fragrance overflowing from the gap in the pot lid, it silently moved its big belly.

All Baimu looked into the room.

Inside the small room, the light was dim, Electivire was dozing by the burning bonfire, Sabi was lying in the bedding, and the Hisuian Braviary was squatting beside her.

Did Rhyperior really not get in?

He turned his head and looked behind the house, and happened to meet the gaze of Rhyperior, who was covered in white snow.

'Buddy, you're so miserable...'

He showed pity, but soon walked in and closed the door to prevent the cold wind from continuing to invade the small house.

Sabi seemed to smell the fragrance, her little face wrinkled and she whimpered, "Hmm~~ So fragrant!"

She opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the pot in All Baimu's hand, "Red thick soup! What is this?"

"Vegetable soup with Moomoo Milk added, cooked a bit too much, sharing some with you." He put down the pot and said: "It's so cold outside, drink some soup to warm your body so you can sleep. There's quite a lot, share it together."

All Baimu didn't stay long, put down the pot, and left.

Passing by Rhyperior lying behind the house, he took a few Pokéblocks from his pocket and handed them to it, "For you."

"Sai-dong?"

Rhyperior was confused, looked into the house, and didn't hear Sabi's voice stopping him, so it ate it with peace of mind.

It knew that Sabi could see the future; if All Baimu wanted to do bad things, Sabi would definitely stop him.

Not stopping him meant it was okay.

Crunch, crunch, the taste was not bad!

It nodded with satisfaction and buried its body in the snow again. Ordinary Pokémon might not be able to tolerate this severe cold, but it was not among them.

Not long after, the door of Sabi's house opened, and Magmortar came out holding a bowl, which was the vegetable soup Sabi shared with Rhyperior.

Although All Baimu gave Rhyperior extra delicious food, Sabi still wanted to share the rare soup with her partner.

"Bu-ba~"

"Sai-dong!"

Rhyperior drank it happily, only feeling it was delicious.

——

The next day.

The blizzard stopped.

All Baimu and his Pokémon cleared the snow around the two houses, but never saw Sabi's house open.

The Poryphone said: "She went to sleep yesterday evening, right?"

"Children sleep a lot, normal. Not to mention it's winter."

He waved to Rhyperior, who had woken up, "Tell Sabi, I'm leaving."

"Sai-dong!"

Rhyperior responded loudly.

In an instant, All Baimu arrived at the Pearl Settlement again.

This time Irida was there; she was still wearing a strapless tube top, and her two fair legs were exposed outside.

Even though he already knew the answer, he still couldn't help but say: "Aren't you cold?"

"Cold? I'm actually a bit hot."

Irida giggled triumphantly: "Master Gaeric said, being fearless of severe cold is a symbol of becoming a strong person, and it is evidence of defeating nature! We Celestica people who believe in the Almighty Sinnoh—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Just because she remembered that if the Pearl Clan believed in the wrong Almighty Sinnoh, then their identity as Celestica people...

Irida had been struggling with this matter for a long time.

The error in the object of belief made her unconsciously extend to her doubt about the identity of her ancestors.

After all, how could true Celestica people recognize the wrong Almighty Sinnoh.

Irida had once asked Gaeric indirectly, but Gaeric told her that this kind of thing depends on herself.

For Gaeric, it didn't matter whether Palkia was the Almighty Sinnoh or not; he truly believed in Palkia, who symbolized space, rather than the concept of the Almighty Sinnoh.

'Which one do you believe in yourself?'

Gaeric's question left Irida very confused.

She looked at All Baimu, wanting to get an answer from him, but finally gave up.

"I'll take you to Master Gaeric!"

Irida led the way actively.

All Baimu looked around at the Pearl Clan members peeking at them, and it could be seen that Irida's prestige was far inferior to Cyllene's.

You must know that when he came back with Cyllene, the Diamond Clan couldn't be said to be very enthusiastic, at least they didn't watch coldly like this.

Were they really the Pearl Clan that made Ingo a warden?

All Baimu wondered if it had something to do with his identity.

After all, he claimed to be the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh, and stated that Palkia was not the Almighty Sinnoh, so it was normal to be rejected a little.

Leaving the Pearl Clan.

Irida led him to the east of the Pure White Icelands; on the winding mountains, it was the station of the Lord of the Tundra, Hisuian Avalugg—the Iceberg Battlefield.

"I told Master Gaeric about you, he will wait for you there."

Irida walked very fast; by her side, Glaceon and Eevee were like two happy foxes, jumping into the snow while running, exceptionally happy.

All Baimu pulled his gaze away from them and said: "Thank you for your hard work, I don't know if Warden Gaeric has any taboos? It's better to tell me in advance so I can avoid them."

Irida thought for a while, "Taboos? Seems like there aren't any! Master Gaeric is very easy to talk to! You can rest assured!"

The two chatted while walking, and soon saw a bare-chested man standing on the top of a high slope covered by snow, looking down at the two with his arms crossed.

"Irida!"

He shouted loudly.

Irida responded hurriedly: "Master Gaeric! This is All Baimu, the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh who came to retrieve the plate!"

"Hello."

All Baimu greeted Gaeric humbly.

Gaeric was indeed a straightforward person, let go of his arms to reveal six neat abdominal muscles, and waved his hand: "No need for formalities!"

He walked slowly, "That thing, since you are the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh, you must possess a very strong physique and will, right? Why don't you show it?"

Gaeric said, his chest muscles shaking across.

He clearly wanted All Baimu to take off his clothes, but the latter didn't take the bait, "How do you want to show it? If it's climbing the snow mountain with bare hands, that should be easy."

"..."

Gaeric gazed at All Baimu from close range; his height was unexpectedly very short, only a little over 1.7 meters.

And after the two were close, Gaeric could clearly feel the extraordinary temperament of the young man in front of him.

Eight or nine points of doubt in his heart were removed.

Gaeric said: "You said you came to retrieve the plate?"

"That's right."

"That's good, I won't make things difficult for you."

He turned and pointed to the distant ice sea, "The Lord of the Tundra, Avalugg, is in that ice sea, you need to rely on your own strength to swim over and find it."

Irida opened her mouth; she knew very well that her and Gaeric's physiques were abnormal, and ordinary people couldn't resist the cold of the tundra, let alone the ice sea.

But since All Baimu is the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh, should...

Be able to do it, right?

"Okay."

All Baimu didn't change his expression.

The Lava Suit can not only protect against the high temperature of breaking through the atmosphere, but also resist the extreme cold of outer space; what is a mere ice sea?

This was simply too easy for him.

Do it as soon as he says it.

All Baimu nodded to Irida, then walked toward the distant ice sea, his pace quite fast, and after a while, he was only the size of an ant.

Gaeric rubbed his beard, "Good footwork, I believe it a few points."

Irida's prestige in the Pearl Clan was relatively low, so her saying that All Baimu was the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh was more suspicious than Cyllene saying it.

The two also walked toward the ice sea.

On the way, Gaeric sighed: "Master I, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that I'm worried that in this way, everyone's reverence for the Almighty Sinnoh will become weak, and the Pearl Clan's foothold will begin to shake."

"It won't, Master Gaeric!"

Irida said seriously: "I believe everyone will change! As long as we are with our partners! We will definitely be able to overcome difficulties! I also want to stimulate more powerful strength and see a broader world!"

Gaeric looked at the serious girl sideways, "... You've grown up."

He sighed.

On the other side.

All Baimu wrapped his trouser legs, sleeves, and collar, and stepped into the water without hesitation.

The Poryphone wanted to open its mouth to help its trainer, such as finding the Lord of the Tundra in advance to point out the direction, but finally changed its words.

"Come on! You can do it!"

All Baimu, who was doing the freestyle stroke: "..."

After swimming out for a distance, he raised his head and looked around, searching for the position of Hisuian Avalugg.

With the other party's size, even if it was mixed in this ice sea, it shouldn't be hard to find...

Got it!

All Baimu, with excellent eyesight, quickly saw a silver-shining trace; although the other party didn't move much, the part under the sea surface that looked like rock was still relatively conspicuous.

Hisuian Avalugg!

Ice and Rock type Pokémon!
