Chapter 1319: The Dragon Who Suddenly Became a Dad

"Mesprit! It really appeared!"

Dawn whispered in surprise.

Although this wasn't her first time encountering Mesprit, she really hadn't expected that searching for a Mythical Pokémon would be this easy.

One had to know that Mythical Pokémon generally went out of their way to avoid people!

All Baimu was equally surprised; he had searched day after day previously with no results, yet now the other party had taken the initiative to deliver itself to his doorstep?

"Mesprit!"

Mesprit called out softly. Only when it got completely close did Dawn notice that there seemed to be something behind it.

All Baimu saw it too. "A Pokémon Egg?"

He suddenly had a very strange premonition.

Sure enough, after Mesprit approached him, it solemnly handed over the Pokémon Egg it had been protecting with its tail. "Mesprit!"

Seeing that All Baimu didn't reach out, Dawn gave him a gentle nudge. "Hurry up and take it, All Baimu!"

"I have a question."

All Baimu stared at Mesprit, which was using psychic power to hold up the Pokémon Egg. "Is it a Goodra?"

Aside from that fellow who had been pestering Hydreigon since the Hisui era, he couldn't imagine why Mesprit would offer up a Pokémon Egg for no reason.

It even acted as if it had been waiting for a long time!

"Mesprit?"

Mesprit's eyes darted around, and even Dawn noticed the hesitation in its expression. She curiously turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Was this Pokémon Egg originally yours?"

All Baimu denied it. "No."

"Mesprit!"

Upon hearing this, Mesprit became anxious and tried to force the Pokémon Egg into his arms.

But All Baimu stubbornly kept his hands raised, refusing to take it. Mesprit paced around him in agitation. Seeing that the former was turning a blind eye, it could only let out a sigh.

"Mesprit..."

The Red Spirit gave in. "Mesprit! Mesprit!"

All Baimu immediately asked his living translator, "What is it saying?"

The Poryphone seemed to have crashed; it took two or three seconds before it said, "It says this is the offspring of that Goodra... and the Hydreigon."

"Huh!?"

Dawn was even more shocked than All Baimu, but she added with a blessing smile, "Congratulations, All Baimu!"

Piplup agreed. "Piplup, piplup~"

"Congratulations on what!"

All Baimu wasn't about to believe Mesprit's nonsense. "Are you sure? It's been over a hundred years since the Hisui era! Their child hasn't hatched even now?"

Mesprit nodded repeatedly, once again trying to shove the Pokémon Egg into his arms. Along with it came the Draco Plate he had been longing for.

Now All Baimu had no choice but to take it.

And after delivering the items, it turned and left impatiently, as if it were sending away a plague god.

The Poryphone hurriedly blocked the fellow. "Wait! Explain yourself clearly before you go!"

Having finally managed to corner the Red Spirit, they couldn't just let it run off like this.

"Mesprit? Mesprit!"

Mesprit dodged left and right, attempting to avoid the blockade.

However, the combat strength of Mythical Pokémon was generally poor. Moreover, facing a Level 90 Porygon2, how could it escape?

All Baimu, who had released Hydreigon, also said, "You haven't finished speaking, why are you leaving?"

Bang!

"Hydreigon!"

Light swirled, and Hydreigon, who had suddenly become a dad, appeared.

The many Poké Balls at All Baimu's waist shook violently; clearly, everyone wanted to come out and witness this gossip firsthand.

Hydreigon's child!

How interesting!

All Baimu suppressed them one by one and held down Hydreigon, which wanted to bare its fangs at Mesprit. "I don't remember them ever having any intimate relationship."

The Red Spirit looked at him sideways. "Mesprit!"

When Pokémon breed the next generation, they won't be seen by anyone, not even their Trainer!

That's common sense, kid!

Dawn also said, "All Baimu, the birth of a Pokémon Egg has never been witnessed by anyone to this day..."

"I still don't believe it."

All Baimu naturally couldn't watch Hydreigon every single moment, but he didn't think the Hisuian Goodra had the opportunity to succeed.

Mesprit didn't waste words with him. It looked at Hydreigon, its tone slow and gentle. "Mesprit~ Mesprit~"

Take a close look at this Pokémon Egg; do you feel a sense of closeness?

It's a blood connection, kid!

The fierce-looking Hydreigon was stunned again and again. Looking at the Pokémon Egg in All Baimu's arms, it really did feel a slight sense of closeness.

"Hydreigon...?"

Is it really... its cub?

All Baimu couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and, with the cooperation of the Poryphone, grabbed Mesprit by the neck. "Stop using your abilities to deceive my Pokémon!"

The Red Spirit was an existence that symbolized emotion; stimulating the inner family affection of Hydreigon was too simple.

This kind of rule-based ability could never be resisted just by having a high energy level.

Stat-monsters can't beat permission-dogs in certain aspects; that's about the size of it.

"Mesprit!"

Mesprit struggled, trying to escape, emitting bursts of "wails."

Dawn, standing nearby, couldn't bear it and advised, "It seems to be in great pain! Let go! All Baimu! We can talk about this slowly!"

"... I'm not even using force; you've been influenced by it too." All Baimu helplessly gestured for Dawn to look at his hand. "I'm holding it loosely."

Dawn looked closely and saw that it was indeed the case.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

But All Baimu also released his hand, giving Mesprit its freedom back, while saying, "You fellow are cunning and full of lies; you're not a good thing. Come over and take a group photo, then I'll let you go. Don't keep wasting time."

"Mesprit..."

Mesprit rubbed its neck, ten thousand times unwilling, but it could only obediently fly to his side.

Who knew that All Baimu would take the opportunity to grab its delicate neck again, giving the Red Spirit a fright. "Mesprit!?"

"This is revenge for leaving me hanging for five whole days!"

As the words fell, the Poryphone took the photo with a click.

All Baimu said to Dawn, who had just come back to her senses, "Do you want to take one too? A group photo with a Mythical Pokémon is very rare!"

Dawn had wanted to remind him not to grab it too hard, but upon hearing this, she acted a bit shy and nodded. "If it's possible..."

Mesprit took the second photo with a look of hopelessness, its big eyes wide open, wearing an expression that said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Go."

All Baimu tossed it aside after using it.

It flew toward the lake island as if fleeing for its life.

Dawn and Piplup huddled together to look at the photo, feeling very satisfied, and couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't I think of taking photos as souvenirs before? Now that there's the Rotom Phone, how convenient!"

"Piplup!" Piplup nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the Poryphone spoke up, "I recommend you use the Poryphone instead. The Rotom Phone's pixels are too poor; we have hundred-million-level pixels! We can take clearer photos."

Dawn was enlightened. "There's such a thing!"

She was like a female version of Ash, knowing almost nothing about modern technology, the kind of person who would only shout—"The power of science is truly great."

Seeing the owner being misled, the Rotom Phone couldn't sit still and hurriedly argued, "That's not true, Rotom! What's the use of high pixels if the lens isn't good?

"Our bodies are made in cooperation with a professional camera company; 50 million pixels can exceed your hundred-million level, Rotom!"

"Hehehehe..."

The Poryphone sneered with a death stare.

In the past, it might have argued with objective facts, but now it just wanted to physically mute the other party.

To some extent, it could be considered to have learned bad habits from All Baimu.

But who told it to be Level 90 now!

—Ever since Porygon2's level increased significantly, it had become a bit carried away.

The Rotom Phone felt guilty under its gaze, but still refused to bow its head, believing that what it said was the truth.

Dawn and Piplup mediated from the side. "Alright, alright! Both Rotom and Porygon are great! I like them both!"

"Piplup, piplup~"

The two, who had been making a huge fuss just a moment ago, were now both trying to persuade others, showing that they had something in common.

The Poryphone ultimately didn't take action; after all, this was the phone of a Trainer friend, and it couldn't act recklessly.

Wait until tonight!

It swore to drag the Rotom Phone into the network space and beat it up!

"Rotom?"

The Rotom Phone felt a chill and vigilantly looked at the Poryphone twice, only relaxing when it saw it flying toward All Baimu.

It secretly despised it; Porygon was indeed a barbaric Pokémon!

What kind of artificial intelligence?

Artificial idiot, more like!

The Rotom Phone, completely unaware that it was going to be in trouble tonight, began to trick Dawn, dispelling her idea of switching to a Poryphone.

"I am the birthday gift your mother gave you!"

"... That's true."

Dawn scratched her head and gave up.

Soon, her attention shifted to All Baimu, who was studying the Pokémon Egg in his hands with Hydreigon.

Hydreigon sniffed around, its three pairs of eyes filled with great confusion.

"It hasn't hatched yet! It's useless no matter how much you sniff it!"

All Baimu pushed away its big head. "Speaking of which, this is my first time hatching a Pokémon Egg personally?"

Even Ash had the experience of hatching Pokémon personally, but most of his Pokémon were picked up, bought, or gifted; aside from those Legendary Pokémon, the ones he had personally battled and caught were few and far between.

The Poryphone said, "Is it that one?"

"I think it's very likely."

All Baimu firmly didn't believe this was the child of Hydreigon and the Hisuian Goodra, and even felt it was highly likely that it was Goodra itself.

As for how it turned into a Pokémon Egg.

Hmph.

The Pokémon world was full of wonders.

If this fellow could make Mesprit personally hand it over to him across a hundred years, how strange would it be to ask Dialga to reverse time and turn it into an egg?

The Poryphone: "Then how do you plan to handle it?"

"Take it with me, what else, lose it?"

All Baimu had to admire the persistence of the Hisuian Goodra Alpha; having paid so much to achieve its goal, he had to take it on.

Hydreigon didn't express any opinion.

Logically speaking, whenever a new Pokémon joined the team, its reaction would definitely be the biggest.

But now, seeing this Pokémon Egg in the Trainer's arms and recalling Mesprit's words from earlier, for some reason, it couldn't get angry anymore.

All Baimu and the Poryphone also noticed this point.

"You've been influenced by Mesprit, don't be afraid, it'll be fine in two days. At worst, we'll go back to Orre and let Calyrex and Mewtwo take a look at you."

"Mythical Pokémon have their terrifying aspects too!"

"Hydreigon..."

Hydreigon nodded gently.

Leaving Lake Acuity and returning to Dawn's house.

All Baimu took out the Arceus Phone and let the Draco Plate fuse into it; there was no need for Terapagos to assist, this thing was fully automatic.

Dawn watched the whole process, and seeing the colorful plate rotating around the Arceus Phone, she widened her eyes and asked, "All Baimu, did Arceus's plates get lost again?"

Piplup felt a chill. "Piplup!"

Don't even!

The last time five plates were lost, Arceus was so angry it wanted to destroy the world. Now that they were all lost, wouldn't it plow the world over and over again?

"Don't worry, this is the mission it gave me."

All Baimu signaled for the two to be at ease.

Dawn and Piplup recalled his experience of traveling through Hisui and believed him.

After all, they had also traveled through time and space last time to help Arceus retrieve the five plates.

It was nothing more than there being a few more plates this time.

Time came to noon.

Dawn and All Baimu both cooked, one making desserts and the other making the main meal, feeding the whole family of Pokémon.

He really liked Dawn's Pachirisu; it was small, lively, and fluffy. After eating, it would stand on his shoulder and lick its tail, but if it licked too eagerly, it would lick his face too.

The Pokémon Egg was placed properly in the incubator; heaven knew if this egg, which had been silent for hundreds of years, could still hatch.

All Baimu tried his best to keep it with him, carrying it whenever he had time, and handing it to the Poryphone when he didn't.

Hydreigon was strictly forbidden from touching it at will.

He was worried that the young and simple-minded "Husky Dragon" would be influenced by Mesprit and really treat it as its own child.

However, the Poryphone also said privately, "What if it really is..."

"We'll understand once it hatches."

All Baimu knew that the truth couldn't be false, and the false couldn't be true; the Pokémon world also had paternity tests!

There was no hotel in Twinleaf Town, so he stayed in the guest room at Dawn's house that night.

Having a friend stay over after a long time, Dawn was very happy all night, and at the same time, she was particularly looking forward to the Sinnoh Festival.

——

Stayed at Dawn's house for two days.

After the two had a long-awaited Pokémon Contest battle, the long-awaited guest arrived.

"Dawn~"

Beep beep!

The sound of a car horn rang out.

On the road outside, a convertible sports car was parked there, with a dashing woman in a black trench coat and sunglasses in the driver's seat.

She suddenly caught sight of the Aggron that had popped out next to the house, pushed down her sunglasses, and muttered to herself, "Oh my~ looks like there's another guest here~"

Just as Cynthia thought.

Dawn and All Baimu walked out of the house at the same time.

She got out of the car and smiled, "Didn't expect to meet you here again, All Baimu."

"Coincidence."

All Baimu responded calmly, then added, "I also want to participate in the Sinnoh Festival, is it welcome?"

"Of course! Please get in the car, you two!"

Cynthia took the initiative to open the car door. Seeing him holding the incubator when he retracted his Poké Ball, she asked curiously, "Are you preparing to raise a new Pokémon again?"

"Maybe you'll even meet it on the competition field!"

All Baimu chuckled.

Cynthia also smiled upon hearing this. "Then I'm really looking forward to it."

Dawn didn't know what they were talking about and looked curiously again and again, but in the end, the Poryphone explained the reason.

"Is All Baimu going to battle Ms. Cynthia?"

She asked expectantly.

Cynthia nodded. "Yes, the time is set for next month; I'm really a bit impatient."

"Will Caitlin come to watch your match?" All Baimu mentioned that older-sister-type loli who had been driven to autism by him.

Cynthia's expression immediately became complicated. "Caitlin... she should be coming."

All Baimu had left too deep a psychological shadow on her; even though the defeat of Cynthia and Diantha made her feel much better, she still felt nervous about meeting All Baimu again.

The Poryphone passed the relevant gossip to Dawn again.

Dawn was like a groundhog eating melon, her eyes shining. ===== CHAPTER 1320 =====
