Chapter 1348
The match ended, and the rankings were updated.
All Baimu replaced Cynthia to ascend to the second place of the Masters Eight, and Cynthia retreated to third.
Ranked behind were Lance, Steven, Diantha, Iris, and the final gatekeeper, Flint.
From a time perspective, All Baimu still had one match to play, as for who the opponent is...
If the World Coronation Series officials don't arrange it repeatedly, Steven or Flint?
It feels like Flint can't wait until that time.
In All Baimu's memory, Ash reached the Master Ball Class near the end of the season, and now Ash has defeated Marnie in the Master Ball Class domain, and it won't be long before he faces Drasna.
And during this period, Flint's Master Class position will be taken by Raihan.
"Soon, soon."
He walked out of the passage a step slower; Cynthia in front had already been stopped by reporters, and was conducting an interview about the new Mega Evolution, and her insights after battling All Baimu.
"Yes, a brand-new Mega Evolution, I really want to show it to everyone."
"All Baimu is very strong; this defeat makes me look forward to the next battle even more, and I hope to gain everyone's support."
"There is a bit of frustration, after all, I'm just a Trainer..."
Cynthia's words were calm and gentle, and her unique charm meant that when All Baimu arrived, a full four or five seconds passed before he was noticed.
The two stood not far apart, each accepting interviews from many media outlets, until half an hour later when Sinnoh League staff came to chase people away, only then did it end.
Caitlin trotted over, "Cynthia!"
"Caitlin."
Cynthia smiled and looked at her, "We're the same now."
A short sentence made the corners of Caitlin's eyes instantly moisten.
She didn't expect that her admired friend, even after losing the match, was still thinking of her in her heart, and she was moved beyond words.
Caitlin leaned in front of Cynthia, looked up at her, and after a few seconds couldn't help but hug her.
Cynthia gently wrapped her arms around the girl's slender waist, held her in her arms, and whispered: "Let's work hard together, Caitlin!"
"Mm!"
Caitlin responded with a slightly nasal tone; she buried her head in Cynthia's shoulder to cover the tears that were welling up.
The culprit of everything was watching the show from the side, only feeling that the "yuri" situation was excellent.
And in the blink of an eye, he greeted the Sinnoh Elite Four again, and Flint couldn't wait to say: "Do you still have energy, All Baimu? Volkner and I both want to challenge you!"
"You and Volkner?"
All Baimu looked at the Sunyshore Gym Leader next to him whose eyes looked dead, "Two against one?"
Flint was slightly startled, "That's not it..."
"Hahaha, I know. Forget it today, I'll come find you tomorrow when I'm free." All Baimu reached out his hand in a friendly manner.
Flint was immediately excited to hold it and shook it vigorously, "Then it's a deal! Champion!"
Volkner sighed on the side, but couldn't help but feel a little anticipation in his heart.
After All Baimu skipped these two good friends, he communicated with other Elite Four and Gym Leaders; what was surprising was that all the Sinnoh Gym Leaders had arrived.
It was simply livelier than the Champion League!
All Baimu looked at the pile of acquaintances in front of him, his eyes full of nostalgia for his childhood; these familiar yet strange faces were like greetings to the version of himself that once traveled the Sinnoh land.
"Hello, hello."
"Long time no see, long time no see."
The Gym Leaders shook hands with All Baimu one by one, feeling very surprised by his enthusiasm.
This scene was simply as if he were the Champion of the Sinnoh region, meeting with the Elite Four and Gym Leaders under his command.
If Elder Ejin saw this, he would definitely be furious, just because the second Orre League is about to open at the end of the year, yet All Baimu hasn't even met all the Orre Gym Leaders!
Yet he's being enthusiastic with the Gym Leaders from the neighboring region!
Bertha laughed, looking at Caitlin for a while and then at All Baimu for a while.
Feeling that both of them were successors with great potential, they should come to Sinnoh!
On the field, the audience who were still not satisfied left one after another, whispering to each other with regret or excitement.
They had originally thought the match would last for more than an hour, but it ended in less than half an hour. And the whole match All Baimu won cleanly and neatly, which could be said to have no suspense.
There were twists and turns in the middle, but it also let the world see the possibilities of the Trainers themselves, as well as the "off-field" game.
Relying on preventing the opponent from switching to win, All Baimu's opening move will definitely be popular for a long time.
I believe many people will also imitate his tactical style.
As for whether they can win...
Simply put, there are only three players currently using cheats in the Pokémon anime world—two of them are helped by officials, and he, the third party, is helped by Arceus.
How can ordinary players compare to players using cheats?
—
That afternoon.
Tourists left by boat one after another, and Lilycove Island became quiet again.
Nurse Joys from various towns were either massaging Blissey nurses, or having their waists pounded by Blissey nurses, relieving the fatigue after being busy.
"The next time we meet will be in two months!"
"See you next year!"
"See you next year!"
They smiled at each other.
Lilycove Island usually only has one Nurse Joy stationed, and only when the League Conference or Champion League starts will more Joys be summoned to help.
This time was no exception.
"Champion All Baimu and Champion Cynthia's Pokémon have finished treatment!" A shout came from the treatment room.
A Joy stood up immediately, "I'll go deliver them!"
A Blissey nurse who was about to take over tilted her head, "happy~"
"Sister Lily likes All Baimu the most, hee hee." Another young Joy said with a giggle.
The Joy called Sister Lily pushed her reproachfully, "Hateful!"
Then she pushed the cart carrying six Poké Balls, humming a little tune toward the back garden of the hotel next door.
As soon as she got close, a strange flash came from afar.
Joy Lily was stunned, walked through the winding and quiet path, and saw the source of the light.
It was a short, wolf-like Pokémon with blue, gray, black, and yellow fur, looking full of energy, as if it would take a green onion and swing it around at any time.
Joy was stunned, and All Baimu, who was standing next to that Pokémon, was also stunned.
"Hatsune Lucario? Lucario Future?"
"What?"
Cynthia, who was waiting for All Baimu's evaluation, didn't understand, and Caitlin vigilantly combined the two names, "What kind of Pokémon is Hatsune Miku? A Legendary Pokémon? A Mythical Pokémon?"
Names she had never heard before came out of All Baimu's mouth; she could only think of these two.
All Baimu's expression was complex, "No... this name was the 2D skin image I originally wanted to design for Gengar."
Cynthia understood even less; what 2D, what skin.
Caitlin surfed the internet a bit more, and the Unova League side had even asked her if she wanted to go to Poké-on to live stream, so she understood what he was talking about.
"Gengar~"
The mentioned Gengar automatically poked its head out from the shadow, and was immediately pushed back by All Baimu with his knee.
Everyone's attention finally returned to Mega Lucario Z.
That's right, this guy's official naming follows the same pattern as Mega Garchomp Z, without adding an X to the past Mega Evolution, and then calling it the Y form.
Cynthia said: "Show us your ability."
"Awooo~"
Mega Lucario Z nodded, raised its claws and turned them slightly, and a dark blue air mass gradually appeared, which then flowed around its arms and spread to all parts of its body.
All Baimu raised his eyes slightly, "This is..."
He suddenly looked to his right, and immediately saw Nurse Joy approaching with the cart, "Excuse me~ both Champions, your Pokémon have finished treatment!"
"I'll take them."
Poryphone went to receive the Poké Balls.
It originally wanted to record, but considering it was Cynthia's privacy, and Cynthia was a good friend of the Trainer, it didn't do so.
This guy only considers All Baimu now, not caring about local laws and regulations at all.
It can be called a cyber living Yama, an outlaw toy duck.
All Baimu's attention returned to Mega Lucario Z, and he found that the Aura was flowing on the latter's body like blood, and could be easily transferred to a certain place according to its will.
This is much more exciting than the Mega Garchomp Z just now!
Mega Garchomp Z didn't show any special abilities at all, relying entirely on stats just like Mega Aggron.
And finally lost on stats as well.
Mega Lucario Z, this one has many ways to play.
It feels easier to control than Psychic, and if there is more quantity and it's more durable, it can fully serve as an additional means of attack and defense.
"It's a pity you're not an ace."
All Baimu shook his head.
After Mega Lucario Z finished listening, blue veins suddenly burst on its forehead, "Awooo?"
What do you mean? Looking down on dogs?
Cynthia smiled: "What are you saying? Don't provoke my Pokémon!"
"Unintentional words, unintentional words."
All Baimu laughed.
But indeed, if Lucario were Cynthia's ace, then he would have been able to battle this strange Lucario Future this morning.
Bang!
The Poké Balls brought back by Poryphone opened.
Garchomp walked back to Cynthia's side, looking down at its short companion who was still only 1.4 meters tall after Mega Evolution.
"Garchomp."
"..."
All Baimu's words just now flashed through Mega Lucario Z's mind inexplicably, and it became agitated, "Awooo!"
You're looking down on my height again! Let's battle!
"Garchomp..."
Garchomp only felt it was inexplicable; it was just saying hello.
Cynthia was helpless, "Bai! Mu! Jun!"
"I really didn't mean it!" All Baimu quickly shifted the blame; who would have thought the Champion's Pokémon would be so easily provoked.
Caitlin looked at this man who was completely different from when he was battling, only feeling that her impression was being crazily refreshed.
The farce didn't last long.
With Cynthia there, and Garchomp not taking the bait, Mega Lucario Z found it hard to make a scene.
But after this battle, All Baimu could be said to have increased his knowledge a little bit.
And to congratulate him on his victory, Lisa sent a new batch of "lists" in the evening.
Among the further confirmed Mega Evolutions, Scolipede, Barbaracle, Hawlucha, Dragalge, Pyroar, and... Zygarde were added.
"Who?"
"You heard right, Zygarde."
Lisa said with a giggle: "You should be able to see the trending news in two days, right?"
Actually, you don't need two days.
Poryphone was already using its search ability.
All Baimu soon saw the answer—
At the top of Prism Tower in Lumiose City, Kalos, the highest peak Ash hadn't reached in this world, a blurry green-black figure fired a giant cannon that pierced the heavens into the sky.
Because the time it appeared was extremely short, very few people saw it.
The captured footage was also only a very blurry segment.
But Poryphone could enlarge and repair it, letting All Baimu see it clearly.
"What's the situation? Do you have inside information?" He asked Lisa on the other end of the phone.
Lisa shook her head, "I really don't know the inside information, I just saw the photo; why Zygarde appeared, why it evolved, and where it was attacking, I have no idea."
She doesn't know, but someone might.
Clemont! Bonnie!
All Baimu chatted with Lisa for a long time, and after it ended, he checked the time in Kalos, confirmed that the other party shouldn't be resting, and couldn't wait to make a call.
No one answered.
He was silent for a moment, then turned to send a message to Bonnie's Poké-on account.
This little girl had built an account some time ago, posting the moment her brother invented an explosion every day; because the shooting technique was really poor, there was basically no traffic.
Bonnie replied very quickly, or rather, she was bored, and upon learning that the sender was All Baimu, she took the initiative to call him the first time.
Listening to the familiar and childish voice coming from the other end of the phone, All Baimu learned the reason why Clemont didn't answer the phone—
Affected by Zygarde, his phone had almost been blown up in the past two days.
In order not to interfere with his own life, he chose to reject all calls.
Strangely, no one called his sister's phone, which can only be said that the people in the Pokémon world are still too simple.
And regarding the Mega Evolution of Zygarde, Bonnie was actually the one who experienced it firsthand.
Her friend Dedenne discovered Zygarde Z1 and Z2 who had suddenly broken in, took Bonnie to the rooftop, watched the two merge while Mega Evolving on their own, and fired a shot at the sky.
Bonnie didn't know the reason, she asked Zygarde but it didn't answer; after the two sides reunited briefly, they took a photo and it ran away.
"Squishy is getting more and more unfamiliar with me~"
Bonnie's voice was sweet and cloying, as if complaining and acting spoiled.
All Baimu comforted her, while thinking about the reason in his heart.
If things are abnormal, there must be a demon; it just so happens that he has a Darkrai here who came from the future Lumiose for no reason, Zygarde firing that shot might not be unrelated to this matter.
Of course, this is all speculation.
For the specific situation, he still has to go and investigate it himself.
Should he go?
All Baimu looked at Poryphone, and Poryphone also looked at him, "Go take a look, call Darkrai."
"Okay."
He started buying plane tickets.
The next day, Cynthia learned that All Baimu was going to Kalos and wanted to investigate matters related to Zygarde, so she didn't continue to follow.
"The end of the year is approaching, and the Sinnoh League Conference is about to be held, I am responsible for going to various places to promote it."
There was this activity in previous years too; Cynthia would go around under the arrangement of the Sinnoh League, but this year, affected by the World Coronation Series, after the League discussed with Cynthia, they increased the originally scheduled one-week itinerary to one month.
Everyone is afraid that the participants will be snatched away by the World Coronation Series; after all, the title of World Champion is also solid.
And the ranking is much more intuitive than the conference ranking.
You have to know that if you don't advance in the preliminary round of the conference, you don't even have a ranking!
