Chapter 1359: Recruiting Shengcai
While Tani was coveting All Baimu.
Two other people also set their sights on this visitor from another world.
"Mr. All Baimu! I am Youzi from the Lumiose Social Battle Club, sincerely inviting you to join~"
The dignified young lady elegantly lifted her skirt and bowed, her posture like that of a classical Western aristocrat—
If you ignore her dark skin.
All Baimu originally thought that the skin color of Nessa and Leon was the limit, but he didn't expect there to be an even higher master!
Black! Really black!
Plus her overall color scheme of light purple and pink-purple...
It made her look even blacker!
Fortunately, the other's facial features were still cute, unlike the Ghost-type Gym Leader Allister from the Galar region.
All Baimu pondered inwardly, while nodding politely on the surface, "Thanks for the kindness, but I currently have no plans to join any organization."
"I see, that's a real pity. Then are you interested in the Mega Youzi Tournament? This is a top Lumiose event with many powerful Trainers participating!"
Youzi continued to issue invitations unwillingly.
A loud laugh suddenly came from the side, "Hahaha! Give it up, Youzi! This guy looks like an expert! He is suitable for our Justice Society!"
A strong man with a baby face and long golden hair walked over.
He fully demonstrated the descriptive phrase 【baby face, tiger back and bear waist】, wearing a karate uniform but with the upper part open and hanging at the waist, leaving only a black vest.
The baby-faced strong man put his hands on his hips and said, "I am Xibai of the Justice Society, and today I also want to appeal to everyone! If Lumiose City wants to promote coexistence with wild Pokémon, please let us abolish the wild zone!"
He shouted at the busy workers, and then smiled at All Baimu, "What do you think?"
"The abolition you refer to, is it sending wild Pokémon out of Lumiose City? Or letting them live together with the residents completely?" All Baimu asked.
Xibai laughed loudly, "Of course it's the latter! I know you definitely want to say—'That must be very dangerous.' Of course it's dangerous! Because wild Pokémon are both powerful and scary!"
He suddenly clenched his fist, making a dull thud, "But please rest assured! As long as you join the Justice Society, your Pokémon battle skills will improve by leaps and bounds! And as an expert like you, you must be able to fight Pokémon with your bare hands, right?"
Xibai looked at All Baimu with burning eyes.
All Baimu: "..."
He could, but he wouldn't do it.
Besides, isn't this idea a bit too crazy?
He suddenly felt the feeling of his first visit to Paldea again, only feeling that there were always one or two crazy NPCs.
Seeing that All Baimu didn't speak, Xibai didn't care, just continued to say loudly, "If you have any thoughts, consider it! The Justice Society welcomes all weak and strong Trainers! Let's get stronger together!"
There were few responses.
An Xin'er hid behind All Baimu silently, also feeling that the person in front of her was not quite normal.
And Youzi didn't care about Xibai's sudden wall-prying behavior; she could see that All Baimu had no interest in the Justice Society either.
"Please be sure to participate; I will wait for your arrival at the Xiuli World Hotel."
She bowed slightly to indicate, and then turned to walk toward a car.
Standing in front of the car door was a tall green-haired maid holding a parasol to welcome Youzi.
All Baimu met her gaze, and the latter's eyes were inexplicably fierce, which made him feel a bit like his own Husky-Dragon.
An Xin'er whispered, "That should be Youzi sister's maid, Chunzi."
"You know her?"
All Baimu lowered his head curiously.
An Xin'er whispered again, "I know all the famous Trainers in Lumiose City."
Famous Trainers, huh?
All Baimu nodded, while Xibai snorted, "Chunzi, this guy, has she lost her personality after being a maid for two years?"
He looked at All Baimu again, still enthusiastic and warm, "If you are interested, come to the Justice Society dojo in the Topaz District! If I'm not there, my sister will be, and if my sister isn't there, my apprentice will definitely be!"
Xibai left.
He seemed to be like Youzi, mainly coming to see how the Prism Tower in the city center was doing.
And just as All Baimu was about to leave, he suddenly felt a gaze.
The gaze came from a street-corner coffee shop, from a pair of men and women wearing glasses with red and gray hair, somewhat similar to Hisuian Zorua.
Both were wearing standard barista uniforms, wearing aprons with lightning patterns printed on them.
"Do you know them?" All Baimu turned his head slightly to ask.
An Xin'er didn't know them anymore.
She blushed a bit, having just said that she knew all the famous Trainers in Lumiose City.
It's impossible for the other party to have no fame, right?
These two appeared in the holographic projection last night, indicating they were part of the group that suppressed the rampaging Mega Pokémon.
How could they dare to do that without some strength?
"Hey."
All Baimu curled his lips and touched her head, "Let's go over and ask."
The other party seemed to have the same idea, and stayed in place when they saw them actively approaching.
"Hello, guest from another world."
The boy opened his mouth politely, "My name is Gulie, the leader of the New Team Flare. This is my younger sister, Gulizi."
"New Team Flare?"
All Baimu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the lightning totem on their aprons, "Remnants of the old Team Flare?"
The impolite words immediately made Gulizi angry, but Gulie pulled his sister and said calmly, "We prefer to call ourselves Team Flare Second Generation."
"Second generation? Fine."
All Baimu continued to ask, "So what are your plans now? Find Lysandre and rebuild the glory of Team Flare?"
Gulie shook his head, "No, Mr. Lysandre... F has completely nothing to do with our New Team Flare. We just want to restore our reputation, let the members of the New Team Flare have a place to live, and... turn our ideals into reality."
Turn ideals into reality?
What were Team Flare's ideals again? Killing?
No.
All Baimu remembered, "You want to create a beautiful world where people can work together and help each other?"
"That's right! That's right!" Gulie's eyes brightened slightly, "You must agree too, right?"
"I definitely agree, but what does this have to do with what you are doing now?" All Baimu looked at Gulie and Gulizi's attire, "Can selling coffee sell to world peace, sell to the dissolution of evil organizations?"
Gulie's smile suddenly froze on his face.
Gulizi turned her head away and muttered, "Everything is difficult at the beginning; how would you know our hardships."
"That's true, come on."
All Baimu gave them a cheering gesture, and then turned away.
Turning over a new leaf is naturally good. As for ideals and such, it can only be said that they have a long way to go.
The Pokémon world can already be called a utopia, and the anime world is even more of a utopia within a utopia, but it still can't avoid the existence of Pokémon hunters, Team Rocket, and the like.
I hope Gulie can stick to his original intention and not become someone like Lysandre.
All Baimu took An Xin'er back to Hotel Z.
Just in time, Tani and the others were preparing to go out, and seeing them, they said excitedly, "You're back?"
"Yes, went to the ruins from last night to look around, and I saw people from Broadstar Company already handling it."
All Baimu nodded, "What are you guys preparing to?"
Tani: "Work!"
Dailuo: "Class~"
Pilu: "Go out to buy fabric."
It can only be said that the characters all have their own lives.
Tani is obsessed with making the Super Z Team and Hotel Z famous in Lumiose City, so she is working everywhere to earn money to entrust a detective to find her relatives.
Dailuo dreams of becoming a famous dancer, so she is diligently studying dance knowledge.
Pilu has already become a fashion designer and is working hard.
Shengcai...
As a tourist, she was originally here to travel to the new Lumiose City, but because she got on Tani's pirate ship, she has now become a member of the battle-happy group.
"Can you have a battle with me?"
Shengcai set her sights on All Baimu; she would never forget everything she saw last night, those powerful Pokémon one after another finished off the Eternal Flower Floette that should have been stopped by Mega Zygarde.
"Of course."
All Baimu agreed happily.
Hearing this, Tani and the others looked at each other, stopped working, stopped going to class, and stopped going to buy fabric, spontaneously following the two to an open space.
Both sides were very curious about each other's true strength.
"How do you want to fight, according to the rules here, or the formal competition kind."
All Baimu looked at Shengcai, who was less than twenty meters away from him, and said strangely, "You haven't played a formal competition, have you?"
"Formal competition... am I not formal like this?"
Shengcai looked at her attire in confusion.
All Baimu held his forehead, "It seems you will have a hard time going out in the future."
He explained the formal competition to Shengcai unhurriedly—Trainers cannot move at will, and the movement of Pokémon has a range limit.
As an outsider, Shengcai seemed to have just remembered the so-called orthodoxy.
The battle style of Lumiose City is not applicable to the outside world.
"..."
Shengcai fell into deep thought.
Which battle style should she use?
Seeing this, All Baimu said, "Forget it, use the battle style of Lumiose City first, and then use the formal battle style."
"Okay!"
Shengcai nodded vigorously.
The street battle officially began. Under All Baimu's curious gaze, Shengcai sent out Meganium.
The Pokémon opposite was Mawile.
"Chiduo."
It turned its head to look at its Trainer, as if asking, is it necessary for me to appear in this kind of battle?
All Baimu returned a cautious gaze.
This is a "protagonist" after all. It must be known that not every "protagonist" is like Ash.
Mawile frowned, but also indicated understanding.
There is no referee in the battle of Lumiose City; in other words, as long as the Pokémon appears, it is the moment the battle begins.
Shengcai raised her right hand, "Mega Evolution!"
The Key Stone on her wrist flashed, resonating with Meganium, allowing it to achieve Mega Evolution.
After Mega Evolution, Meganium had multiple layers of petals overlapping at its neck, and the "stamen" at the tip of its nose became more slender, appearing more prosperous.
Although there were no shocking elements, it looked much more prosperous than Mega Garchomp.
Mega Evolution at the start?
All Baimu raised his eyebrows and also took out the Key Stone on his chest to trigger it.
In an instant.
Mawile also completed Mega Evolution.
The two Mega Pokémon faced each other, and then Shengcai's side issued the command first.
"Petal Dance!"
She ran to the side, and Mega Meganium suddenly lowered its head, screaming and surging out a large number of small petals from the petals at its neck, swaying its posture and flying toward Mega Mawile!
Its attack range was huge, showing its extraordinary power.
However...
Mega Mawile was silent.
All Baimu: "Well, it seems it hasn't finished growing yet."
The next moment.
Whoosh!
Endless petals swallowed Mega Mawile, even covering All Baimu behind it.
Tani and the others let out a cry of alarm, but An Xin'er was calm and composed.
Although she hadn't seen All Baimu's competition with her own eyes, she also knew from her aunt Diantha what a powerful Trainer he was.
Mere Petal Dance—
Bang!
Only a muffled sound was heard, and the sea of flowers covering Mega Mawile disappeared suddenly, but the latter was nowhere to be seen.
No.
Not nowhere to be seen!
The loud noise coming from the other side caught the attention of Tani and the others. When they looked over, they only saw Shengcai standing still and Mega Mawile landing lightly.
Mega Meganium was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn!"
Dailuo couldn't help but curse.
Tani realized something and looked at the wall in the distance, only to see Mega Meganium embedded in it, having lost consciousness.
All Baimu frowned, "Doesn't Lumiose City have protective devices all over the city?"
"No..."
Tani held her chin that was about to fall off and shook her head in denial.
He sighed, "Fine, I'll pay for it."
The currency of the parallel world might not be universal, but he had enough gold in his pocket, so he wasn't afraid.
However, what surprised Tani and the others was not this, but the fact that Mega Mawile defeated Mega Meganium in one move.
Shengcai was silent for a short while, then took back Meganium and sent out Dragonite.
"Again!"
She took out the Key Stone again, triggering Mega Evolution with Dragonite.
All Baimu raised his hand, "Wait."
Shengcai stopped her movements in confusion.
"Can Mega Evolution be used multiple times in the battle rules of Lumiose City?" All Baimu pointed to the Mega Dragonite that had completed evolution.
Tani coughed twice, "Uh, here, as long as you can Mega Evolve, it won't be stopped."
Mega Evolution consumes a lot of the Trainer's physical strength, and the longer it lasts, the higher the consumption.
Formal competitions don't allow multiple Mega Evolutions, partly considering the Trainer's physical fitness, and partly for the sake of fairness.
Didn't expect that the battle rules of Lumiose City had no restrictions at all.
"What a wonderful battle."
All Baimu accepted the setting of Shengcai's multiple Mega Evolutions and smiled, "But you sent out a Dragon-type Pokémon to face my Fairy-type Pokémon, what is the meaning?"
"..."
"Fight and you'll know!"
Shengcai said in a low voice, "Hurricane!"
"Oh!"
Mega Dragonite rose with the wind, releasing a huge storm vortex toward Mega Mawile, intending to imprison it.
Who knew that Mega Mawile also spun, stirring up a pink hurricane to collide with Mega Dragonite's hurricane.
Bang!
Rumble—
The storms collided with each other, and for a time, they were evenly matched!
But the more Shengcai looked, the more she felt something was wrong. Mega Mawile... seemed to be flying up by the wind?
"Fire Punch!"
She shouted, and Mega Dragonite also took the opportunity when the storm stopped to pick up a fist burning with flames and smash it down toward the opponent who was already close at hand!
Bang!
The flames rolled!
Tani and the others raised their heads, covering their eyes with their palms while trying to see the battle between the two Pokémon clearly.
Fortunately, their eyes didn't suffer from the strong light for too long.
Mega Dragonite was soon thrown to the ground by Mega Mawile.
Thud!
The ground suddenly sank into a large pit, and Mega Mawile, who followed it down, had residual smoke and scorched marks on one of its giant jaws.
Undoubtedly, Mega Dragonite's fist hit the giant jaw.
And it was also controlled by the other giant jaw, allowing Mega Mawile to use four ounces to move a thousand pounds, throwing it down from the air.
"Oh—"
Mega Dragonite tried to fly up, but Mega Mawile didn't give it a chance, unhesitatingly swinging a fist gathered with pink meteor light at its belly!
【Play Rough】!
Bang!
Mega Dragonite's roar came to an abrupt end. ===== CHAPTER 1360 =====
