Chapter 1320: Sinnoh Festival

Canalave City.

The host of the Sinnoh Festival.

In order to let more people experience life in the Hisui era, the League specially imitated a Jubilife Village here.

"Speaking of which, the predecessor of the Sinnoh League wouldn't be the Galaxy Team, right?" The Poryphone's words made Dawn extremely surprised.

How could the Sinnoh League be related to the Galaxy Team?

Cynthia, who had parked the car, laughed and said, "What Porygon2 is talking about should be the 'Galaxy Team' that pioneered the Hisui land in the past, not the Galaxy Team in your impression."

"Ah, ah!"

Dawn remembered that All Baimu had mentioned it to her, but her attention was all on the ancestor Akari at the time, so she subconsciously ignored it.

Cynthia took the initiative to popularize the deeds of the Hisui Galaxy Team and led the two into "Jubilife Village." As the world's premier archaeologist, the history she knew was infinitely close to the truth, and she even said quite a few things that All Baimu didn't know.

What made him unable to hold back the most was that he heard himself in Cynthia's words.

"A mysterious member of the Survey Corps?"

When Dawn said this, she subconsciously looked at All Baimu.

All Baimu didn't change his expression, listening to Cynthia continue to talk about that "mysterious existence"—

"That person appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly. There are only a few words about him in the Galaxy Team's records, but in the record books left by the Pearl Clan and Diamond Clan, he is called the man who saved Hisui in one day."

Cynthia said with a smile, "It's a pity that no specific name was left, only that he claimed to be an envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh."

"Almighty Sinnoh?" Dawn tilted her head and thought, "The king of Sinnoh in the past."

"No, it's Arceus."

Cynthia's interest was completely piqued, and she spoke endlessly, even nodding to greet others who greeted her.

And at this time, in the modern Jubilife Village, many staff members had changed into traditional costumes, standing at the door with smiles to greet passing tourists.

Don't say it, it really looked like the real thing!

For All Baimu, who had just returned from Hisui, the environment and residents were already 70-80% similar; 100% was definitely impossible.

Time had passed for over a hundred years after all; there were slight differences in clothing, hairstyles, and even the specifications of the buildings.

Cynthia asked with a smile, "Are you two interested in changing into the clothes of the Hisui era and blending into this environment?"

"Okay, okay!"

Dawn was really interested, especially after seeing Akari's photo.

All Baimu's expression was strange, but he didn't refuse.

The Poryphone whispered, "You must be thinking that it's ridiculous that you didn't wear them when you went there before, but now you have to wear them when you come back, right?"

"I know you're smart, shut up."

All Baimu made a "small mouth, don't talk" gesture.

In a cylindrical house, the three rented well-fitting costumes. There wasn't much difference between the men's and women's styles, but they were slightly different from the Galaxy Team uniforms All Baimu knew.

At least the old clothes were limited by dyes and didn't have such colorful and complex patterns.

"Doesn't feel quite right?"

Dawn turned around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, attracting Cynthia's curious gaze. "What's not quite right?"

She said, "It should be a bit simpler..."

"This is indeed an improved costume. Didn't expect you, Dawn, to have researched Sinnoh's traditional costumes?"

Cynthia said with a smile, "Are you interested in researching history with me?"

This Champion wasn't much different from other Champions; she always liked to throw out olive branches unconsciously.

Dawn scratched her head with a dry laugh. "Where, where, I just happened to... um, see it on the internet once!"

She didn't share All Baimu's secret with Cynthia.

Melon-eaters must have the consciousness of melon-eaters! Only then can they eat the second and third melons!

Cynthia didn't doubt it. After helping Dawn tighten her belt, she patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, let's go out! Don't keep All Baimu waiting!"

The two walked out of the clothing rental shop but couldn't see All Baimu. It wasn't until a Galaxy Team Officer Jenny ran past them blowing a whistle that they discovered this person was grabbing the stall owner's arm in front of a stall.

Cynthia was startled and hurriedly ran over with Dawn.

"What's wrong, All Baimu?"

"Caught a swindler I know." All Baimu calmly handed over the Magikarp uncle, who was yelling "ouch, ouch," to Officer Jenny.

It was still the same old routine, blowing up an ordinary Magikarp to the skies and then charging a high transfer fee for the exchange.

It was equivalent to taking advantage of the Trainer's special rules.

Dawn proudly showed off her clothes and spun around in place. "Ta-da! How is it? No problem, right? Definitely no problem!"

Why are you stealing Serena's lines?

All Baimu complained inwardly, but on the surface, he said, "Not bad, it really has the style of a Hisui person!"

He knew Dawn was referring to the previous photo. After putting on this replica uniform, the similarity between Akari and Dawn was as high as 99.9%.

Cynthia returned after handling the follow-up matters with Officer Jenny and asked with a smile, "All Baimu, have you been scammed before?"

"In your impression, am I that unreliable? Just helping a friend seek justice." All Baimu thought to himself that James should count as half a friend.

Huh?

He suddenly remembered something very important.

When he dealt with the otherworld Team Rocket before, did he tell them to find a place to wait for him?

All Baimu gave a look to the Poryphone. The latter didn't understand, but when he mouthed "Team Rocket," it suddenly realized and then was shocked.

How could it have forgotten those three guys too!

Maybe it was really because they weren't that important...

The Poryphone quietly split off a clone to find the Team Rocket trio, although in its view, so many days had passed, these three guys might have left long ago.

—They hadn't left!

Through Team Rocket's Rotom Phone, it successfully found the trio eating grass in the woods near Twinleaf Town.

It wasn't that they were so hungry they were eating grass, but that they were idle with nothing to do, so they were eating it.

"Hey!"

It appeared suddenly, giving the three a violent start.

Meowth and James reacted first. "It's Porygon2, meow!"

"Finally have time to come find us? I almost thought we had been completely forgotten..."

James said very gratefully.

Actually, they had been forgotten.

The Poryphone complained inwardly and said to them, "All Baimu asked me to come over to tell you, next time he and Ash are both present, don't show your faces."

"... Just this?"

The Team Rocket trio thought All Baimu had some instructions, and upon hearing this, they couldn't hold back a bit.

They had waited for five whole days! Just to wait for this one sentence!

Before the trio could develop any negative emotions, the Poryphone added, "Also, have time to go back to Alola and take a look. Bewear and the others all miss you very much.

"When we went back last time, Mimikyu, Mareanie, and the others specifically asked."

When this was said, James was stunned and shed tears.

Among the three, he loved his Pokémon the most. When he ran away from home, he even refused to take Growlithe, who had grown up with him, just so it wouldn't suffer with him.

"Wuwuwu! Mareanie~!"

He blocked his eyes with his arm and cried loudly.

Jessie, who had a prickly personality, also felt quite uncomfortable. Although she didn't express her love as obviously as James, she also loved her Pokémon deeply.

Meowth shouted directly, "Let's go now!"

"Wobbuffet!"

Wobbuffet agreed loudly.

The Team Rocket trio immediately launched their hot air balloon and set off, not even bothering to think about why All Baimu had made them wait in place for so long.

The Poryphone watched their departing backs and sighed, "As expected of All Baimu, he coaxed them like babies in just a few words!"

Still need to learn! Still need to practice!

——

Sinnoh Festival site.

All Baimu met Ash and his traveling companions again.

This wasn't a strange situation; it would be strange if he didn't participate in such a large-scale event.

Seeing them again after a few days, Ash was also very happy and showed off his Gengar. "This guy just drank the Max Soup! It can turn into Gigantamax Gengar now!"

"Gengar!"

Ash's purple fatty puffed out its chest, looking extra proud.

Seeing this, All Baimu's gray fatty also popped its head out from the shadow, puffed out its chest, and stood next to the other one.

——Obviously, the gray fatty was taller and wider. Being able to let a Ghost-type undergo secondary development, one could only say that the food at his place was truly great.

The purple fatty wasn't convinced and stepped forward, trying to bump the gray fatty with its belly. The gray fatty didn't show weakness and bumped back. The two Gengars kept shouting "Gengar, Gengar," making a huge racket.

Piplup and Pikachu hurriedly mediated, which finally separated them.

All Baimu chatted with Ash and the others.

Because he had resolved the Galaxy Team's conspiracy in advance, no major events occurred at the Sinnoh Festival, and Arceus lost the opportunity to appear in the journey again.

Thinking about it, it probably wasn't very willing?

Otherwise, it wouldn't have handed such an important task as retrieving the plates to All Baimu to handle.

Meeting acquaintances after a long time, he enjoyed himself in an extra relaxed manner.

Routinely visiting the museum's introduction to special Pokémon from the Hisui period, Cynthia said, "In the process of Sinnoh's development, they were influenced by something and gradually disappeared, but they have reappeared in recent years."

"Reappeared?"

Ash and the others asked excitedly.

On the screen were Pokémon like Basculegion, Hisuian Braviary, Wyrdeer, and Hisuian Growlithe. Under the 3D reproduction effect, they were lifelike.

Cynthia smiled. "That's right, we thought these Pokémon had gone extinct, but we discovered not long ago that they were actually hiding in some corners of Sinnoh.

"After vigorous breeding by the Sinnoh League's Pokémon Professors, they are prepared to let these Pokémon return to the wild in the future and step onto the new Sinnoh land again!"

All Baimu's heart stirred upon hearing this. There was no such segment in his memory of the anime; was it because he had changed the past?

Then was the Sinnoh Temple still intact?

He asked the Poryphone to investigate, but the result was regrettable; the Sinnoh Temple was still gone, leaving only a few Spear Pillars.

The statues of the ten Kings and the roof of the temple had all vanished into thin air.

Why?

Who bombed it?

Unknown.

The Pokémon Egg in his arms was quiet; heaven knew when it would hatch.

Playing around all the way until evening.

The festival's unique fireworks display began as usual.

Smelling the gunpowder smoke permeating the air, All Baimu thought about how he should find the next plate.

Leaving the Blank Plate aside, there were only two plates left—the Iron Plate and the Dread Plate.

In the game, the former was on Heatran, and the latter was on Cresselia...

Both were hard to find!

All Baimu decided to ask the person who knew the Sinnoh region best.

"Ms. Cynthia."

Under the night sky where fireworks were blooming, he turned his head to Cynthia and said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"... Ask."

Cynthia's attention shifted from the fireworks to his side profile. The flickering light covered that handsome and extraordinary face, and even she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

All Baimu said, "Do you know where I can find Heatran and Cresselia?"

"Heatran... Cresselia..."

Cynthia knew these two Legendary Pokémon. "Do you want to catch them?"

"No."

All Baimu said frankly, "I want to get something relatively important from them—a plate."

"A plate?"

Cynthia pursed her lips.

After the fireworks display ended, the two sat down in a quiet place to discuss the matter of the plates.

Cynthia really asked why he was looking for the plates first.

All Baimu asked her back if she remembered Arceus that appeared in the space-time rift, telling her that Arceus had given him a mission at that time.

Cynthia understood. "Then how did you determine that the plates were with them?"

"I can't be sure, but I think since these Pokémon possess powerful strength, maybe they have the help of the plates?"

All Baimu gave a reason that wasn't very convincing.

Cynthia believed it. She said, "I really don't know where Heatran and Cresselia are, but regarding the plates, maybe I can take you back to Celestic Town to take a look; there are many records about myths there."

All Baimu had no objections.

The next day.

Dawn, Ash, and the others parted reluctantly.

Learning that All Baimu was going to Celestic Town with Cynthia, Dawn really wanted to go along, but she also had to set off.

"I have to participate in the Wallace Cup."

"Good luck! Take that important ribbon!"

All Baimu gave her his blessing.

Dawn was actually already a top Coordinator, but after the Pokémon Contest was revised, the Wallace Cup was no longer just for ordinary Coordinators; it was changed into two competition fields.

One ordinary, one top-tier.

Dawn said before parting, "You should come and participate occasionally too! Everyone misses you!"

The top circle of Pokémon Contests wasn't bigger than the Trainer circle. The "myth" All Baimu left behind was still passed down by word of mouth. Many new Coordinators constantly studied his performance videos, just to become the next All Baimu.

Unfortunately, existences like him were few and far between.

"If I have time, I will."

All Baimu said casually, got into Cynthia's car, and set off for Celestic Town.

Sinnoh's transportation system was very developed. The two set off in the morning and arrived at their destination around one in the afternoon.

The former ancient retreat, now Celestic Town.

All Baimu couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Cynthia, do you know Cogita?"

"You've met Ms. Cogita?"

Cynthia looked very surprised. "Where did you meet her? Is it something that happened recently?"

All Baimu: "Uh... it's been a long time."

About a hundred years or so.

"I see." Cynthia's excited expression subsided, and she apologized, "Sorry, I was a bit excited. Ms. Cogita was the enlightenment teacher who taught me history, but she disappeared a long time ago."

"How long ago is a long time ago?"

"About when I was eleven or twelve."

"That is indeed a long time ago."
