Chapter 1370: Ash's

"Indicator abnormal, indicator abnormal..."

"Indicator highly abnormal, indicator highly abnormal..."

All Baimu looked at the innocent Hisuian Zorua and twitched the corners of his mouth, "No wonder you pant after taking two steps."

Because the fat fox doesn't exercise often and eats various sweets, the excessive calories make its muscles basically replaced by fat, and its mobility drops rapidly.

Fortunately, it is a young Pokémon rather than an ordinary middle-aged human, which makes its indicators abnormal but not to the point of developing various diseases.

But it's not far off.

Speaking of which, this guy clearly has the Ghost type, but the degree of ghosting is not very thorough, unlike Galarian Corsola and Gengar.

No wonder it disappeared in history.

Normal Ghost-type Pokémon can live for hundreds of years no matter what. If they can't stay in reality, they can drill into the Spirit Realm and occasionally come out to bubble. How could they be like this now, becoming the only seedling in the Sinnoh region.

—Actually, not necessarily. Perhaps as he imagined, Hisuian Zoroark and Zorua all went to the Spirit Realm, so they disappeared from the Sinnoh land?

But regardless, All Baimu said in a deep tone: "Weight loss plan is urgent!"

Hisuian Zorua keenly sensed something was wrong, its pointed ears trembled, "Awoo?"

"Cannot refuse."

The Poryphone denied it directly, "You have no reason or power to refuse."

Hisuian Zorua stared, it didn't even have the power to refuse?

Too overbearing!

It was resentful, and tears flowed out unconsciously from the corners of its eyes.

The small expression that makes people love can melt people, and All Baimu also instantly became its captive.

"Don't cry, don't cry, look at you crying."

"Awoo?"

Hisuian Zorua collected its tears and looked at him with expectant eyes.

All Baimu stroked its body that was soft due to too much fat while saying devilish words, "No~"

"..."

Hisuian Zorua's expression collapsed and it jumped out of All Baimu's arms.

Heart of stone! Bastard!

In the blink of an eye, the Poryphone sent the Hisuian Zorua's physical examination report directly to the old director, and the other party called after a while.

"It is indeed our oversight..."

"Okay, okay, you are a professional Trainer and Breeder, we have nothing to worry about."

"Of course, we trust you completely."

"Thank you."

Hearing the familiar words coming from the phone, Hisuian Zorua raised its head, thinking it could go back immediately.

"Woo?"

It's a pity that after All Baimu hung up the phone, he smiled at it: "The institute said, you have to lose weight successfully before you can go back?"

"..."

Hisuian Zorua was struck by lightning.

What!

This is impossible!

The Poryphone said pitifully: "Accept your fate, you don't even have the ability to resist now, you can only choose to accept."

If Hisuian Zorua could resist, it wouldn't be so fat; precisely because it is so fat, it has no way to resist.

This is completely a false proposition.

Hisuian Zorua was trembling with anger, only feeling betrayed by the whole world.

From afternoon to night that day, it was so angry that it didn't eat a bite—although no one would give it food.

Hisuian Zorua tried very hard to escape from All Baimu's clutches, but it didn't even run out of the administrative building where the principal's office was located, which made it only use illusions to create food, deceiving its brain and eyes.

After cheating, it had no strength again.

The fat fox wanted to speak but tears flowed first.

Blissey couldn't stand its pitiful appearance. As the kindest egg in the team, it really couldn't stand seeing Pokémon not full.

All Baimu's solution was very simple: let Blissey put the Hisuian Zorua's physical examination report in the pocket of its apron, and take it out to look at it whenever its love overflowed.

This also caused Blissey's kind heart and medical heart to fight wildly, and Hisuian Zorua never got any charity from it.

The first day of hell passed like this. 【

Hisuian Zorua welcomed its second day of hell.

The familiar small half-bowl of food.

Hisuian Zorua, already starved crazy, devoured it all in a flash. Only when the bowl was completely empty did it start to regret not eating a little more.

Then it was back to the treadmill, or rather, the walking machine.

All Baimu naturally wouldn't make Hisuian Zorua run fast right away; as long as it could move, that was a victory.

Likewise, he understood that weight loss couldn't start with creating a huge calorie deficit, so the Rainbow Pokéblock he fed Hisuian Zorua at the end of yesterday was already capable of providing a great deal of energy.

It just couldn't provide Hisuian Zorua with a sense of fullness.

The fat fox, feeling it wasn't full, would definitely be uncomfortable.

All Baimu was definitely not intentionally torturing it; he just wanted Hisuian Zorua to know his determination.

He had already prepared food with high satiety and low calories yesterday.

He was just waiting for the fat fox to figure it out itself.

"...... Awoo."

Hisuian Zorua was truly much more cooperative compared to yesterday; not only was it willing to get on the treadmill to fetch food, but it also didn't think about running away all the time.

It shows that Pokémon ultimately need a little push.

All Baimu thought that if it could persist for a week, he could switch to a more efficient exercise—swimming.

Hisuian Zorua is a Normal and Ghost-type Pokémon, so it isn't inherently afraid of water, but to be safe, he didn't make this guy challenge high-difficulty tasks right away.

What if this guy fainted and drowned, leaving behind a relatively serious psychological trauma?

Even with its fat content, it would likely float to the surface.

Because Hisuian Zorua was cooperative enough, it was full today; although it was still very hungry, it was full.

The strange feeling made its little brain unable to process it, and coupled with walking five kilometers on the treadmill, a strong sense of fatigue made it fall fast asleep as soon as it returned to the incubator.

Moon looked down at Cyndaquil, and Cyndaquil also looked at her with squinted eyes.

The research institute intended to release Hisuian Zorua back into the wild in the future, so they simply didn't capture it.

All Baimu felt it was absurd.

Raising a Pokémon intended for release into the wild like this?

You guys weren't this unprofessional when raising other Pokémon!

It can only be said that foxes, in any world, are terrifying existences that can bewitch people's hearts.

If All Baimu's will weren't firm, he might have become the next King Zhou.

——

Afternoon.

People from the Poryphone company arrived.

They came to distribute Poryphones to the students, with the reason being to meet future curriculum needs.

Mei also received one.

"Is school about to start? Why does it feel like since the principal arrived, we've become children with supervision?"

Someone nearby said.

Until they came to Orre Academy, they had always been in an unsupervised state, doing whatever they wanted, and could even take a ferry to the main continent of Orre.

It was as if they had been left to fend for themselves.

As a result, All Baimu had only been here for a few days, and he was already holding public battle classes and distributing Pokémon and new smartphones to the students.

Everyone had a premonition that school would start soon.

"I hope the coursework isn't too heavy..."

"It doesn't matter if it's heavy, I like it here!"

"Will the principal cultivate students personally? I've seen teachers in some schools pick a few people to cultivate specifically, to make it easier for him to carry out courses and such."

"Me! I also want to be the principal's personal disciple!"

The crowd discussed animatedly.

Mei held the Poryphone, silently transferring data from her old phone.

Calling it data, it was actually just some precious photos and phone numbers; she didn't want these things to be lost.

Just as Mei was flipping through photos and immersed in the past, her Poryphone suddenly spoke.

"You have a great talent for photography; do you need me to help you register a PokéTok account?"

"N-no need!" Mei was startled by the sudden words and hurriedly refused.

The Poryphone persuaded, "Really don't need it? Now, if you post videos or photos and get a high number of likes, there are cash rewards. You can use this money to buy gifts for your family or buy some snacks for your Pokémon."

"This..."

Mei was instantly tempted.

She might refuse for other reasons, but thinking of her mother who worked hard to take care of her, she couldn't help but waver.

The Poryphone continued, "On PokéTok, you can see things from all over the world; maybe there will be people you know, and the photos you take might also be seen by your family."

"People I know?" Mei's eyes brightened, "People in my contacts?"

The Poryphone suddenly stopped talking.

Just as she thought she had said something stupid and was preparing to apologize, the Poryphone spoke: "There is indeed one, with the nickname 【N's Rescue Squad】, the number of followers is not low, over a hundred thousand."

"Lord N!?"

Mei was shocked, "Where?"

The Poryphone immediately opened PokéTok, displaying the account on the screen, and the person appearing in many short videos was indeed the N she was familiar with.

There were also Anthea and Concordia, the two sisters who took great care of her.

This, how is this possible?

Mei knew N's personality very well; he was unwilling to show his face in public and become some public figure.

Unlike his foster father, N was accustomed to quietly protecting those Pokémon harmed by humans.

Mei fell into deep thought and turned to discuss it with other partners of the New Team Plasma.

As it turned out, after asking, she found that everyone knew, and only she was the one who knew now.

"But Lord N, he..." Mei always felt something was wrong.

Her companion comforted her, "So many years have passed, Team Plasma has changed, let alone Lord N? Things will always be different."

"......"

Mei was silent.

Everything around her began to feel unfamiliar, and the panic and anxiety that had finally disappeared surged again.

She returned to the dormitory, covered herself with a quilt, and looked at the many videos N had posted on the Poryphone screen, speechless and dazed.

Foongus comforted her softly on the side, and Cyndaquil was running around in a panic.

"Tama~"

Foongus held down Cyndaquil, signaling it to be quiet.

Cyndaquil looked at Mei, then at it; its heart was still unable to calm down because of Mei's abnormality, but all it could do was press close to Mei's body, trying to warm this Trainer it had only known for two days with its body heat.

The next day.

All Baimu's office door was knocked on.

"S-sorry to bother you!"

Mei spoke tentatively.

Click.

The door opened automatically, and what met her eyes was Hisuian Zorua imitating a mop on the floor, and the Poryphone floating above its head counting.

"Sixty-two! Sixty-three! Very good! You have already broken the one-minute mark in continuous fast movement!"

Fast...

Mei looked at Hisuian Zorua's wriggling posture and almost forgot her purpose.

Until All Baimu spoke, "Student Mei, have you encountered any problems communicating with Cyndaquil?"

"No!"

She hurriedly waved her hands, hesitated for a long time, and then asked tentatively, "I heard that you are very close to Lord N... is that so?"

"Very close? Hmm..."

All Baimu thought for two seconds and said to the Poryphone, "Make a call and ask him what our relationship is?"

"Eh! No need!"

Mei hurriedly stopped him and said, "... I just wanted to ask Lord N why he would appear on PokéTok."

She blushed a little as she said it; after all, this had nothing to do with her, and N didn't need to notify her about opening a PokéTok account and posting videos.

But Mei still wanted to know the reason.

She admired N, admired the cause he was working on, and couldn't ignore N's changes.

All Baimu was stunned and didn't quite understand why she said this, "Is it strange for N to appear on PokéTok?"

"No, I just think Lord N doesn't really like... showing his life to others." Mei was fidgety.

All Baimu realized, "You want to say that with N's personality, he wouldn't make such a big fuss about rescuing Pokémon?"

"Exactly!" Mei nodded excitedly.

All Baimu smiled, "He was indeed unwilling, but he was persuaded by me."

Mei: "... Eh?"

"When PokéTok first started, it wasn't that popular, so I thought about having acquaintances open a few more accounts to increase the heat, and your Lord N was persuaded by me."

All Baimu explained with a smile.

He bluffed N, saying that while burying his head in the Pokémon rescue cause was great, why not stop it at the source?

Let all behaviors unfavorable to Pokémon become a moral yardstick in people's hearts, so as to reduce the number of harmed Pokémon from the root, and also realize the world he idealizes sooner.

——Others might not be able to persuade N with this set of rhetoric, but All Baimu was different.

N identified very much with this good friend and also knew deeply that the other party was one of the few like-minded friends in the world, so he chose to open an account.

The videos mainly posted were about rescuing various Pokémon in distress and chatting about the stories behind them.

No matter which world it is, people love to watch story sessions, and the Pokémon world is the same.

N's account soon took off, his social influence rose significantly, and Mei and the other second-generation New Team Plasma members would sooner or later be able to appear in the Unova region openly.

After hearing All Baimu's narrative, Mei only felt a heavy stone in her heart quietly land.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble!" Mei bowed deeply.

All Baimu shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, how can answering questions for my students be considered trouble? If you have anything, feel free to come to me."

"Okay! I'll, I'll take my leave first." Mei exited the office quietly, and when she took out the Poryphone again, she made up her mind to open an account.

She also wanted to be like Lord N, changing the perception of all Trainers in the world from a moral level!

Meanwhile.

All Baimu in the office stared at the screen, which was a live broadcast of Ash battling Alain.

The last promotion battle at the end of the season, the XY rival battle returned to the big screen after several years.

However, Ash today is no longer what he used to be, and is definitely not the way he was in the past.
