Chapter 1393: Arriving at Wyndon... Island?

Similar scenes were happening at the same time in different regions.

Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos...

The Champions, without exception, all received blessings from their partners, which naturally included the Alola Champion, Ash.

The partners he knew called and video-called one after another, offering him their most sincere blessings.

Ash was almost too busy to eat.

It can only be said that the connections accumulated from traveling through eight regions are too rich, and ordinary people can't envy them.

Compared to this, those surrounding other Champions are mostly Elite Four members; after all, unlike Ash and Galar, the connection between Gym Leaders and Champions in ordinary Leagues isn't that tight.

For example, Brock and Misty, both are Kanto Gym Leaders, but in the original series, they still had to introduce themselves when they saw Lance.

Of course, this is also because there are too many Gyms in ordinary regions.

Which region in the anime doesn't have ten or twenty Gyms?

The interaction between ordinary Gym Leaders and regional Champions isn't much; Gym Leader assessments are all done by Gym appraisers sent by the League's inspection bureau, and they don't see each other all year round—

Except for the Kalos region.

It has a relatively special facility called the Battle Chateau. It existed as a knight's dueling ground in ancient times, and now it has become a special Pokémon battle place for the upper class, and grants titles to winning Trainers.

The regional Champion, Elite Four, and Gym Leaders of Kalos all participate in it, and they generally hold the highest titles.

In short, as the Masters Eight Tournament approached day by day, all circles related to the Champions became lively.

All Baimu, however, stayed quietly at Mount Silver and Orre Academy.

"Are you really planning to leave after the Masters Eight ends? If so, you might not be able to leave for a week." He looked at Shengcai and the others.

Originally, Shengcai and the others only planned to come and play for a few days and then go back, but who would have thought that Tierno would meet her brother, and Shengcai and Shauna would each make friends, and for a while, none of them wanted to leave so quickly.

What? What about Tani?

She should still be working overtime at the company, and several people left a note before leaving.

Wow.

Thinking about it, it's also a bit pitiful.

Not only did the team members all go out to play without taking her, but they even got addicted to playing and weren't prepared to go back for a short time.

Thinking of Tani happily going home, only to be greeted by an empty house, one can't help but feel pity.

Shengcai and the others weren't going back, and An Xing'er was even less likely to go back.

She had been in the parallel world for so many days and hadn't seen her Aunt Diantha yet; no matter what, she had to meet her.

So far, An Xing'er had only video-called Diantha and declined the invitation to be picked up to Kalos.

All Baimu had originally prepared for the handover, but who would have thought An Xing'er would refuse!

According to her own words, she knew that both were preparing for an important battle, so she was embarrassed to disturb one more.

—Really, if An Xing'er hadn't discovered the promotional photo of the Masters Eight while scrolling through Poké-Tok, she really wouldn't have known that All Baimu would have a Champion-level battle in a few days!

And it was the key battle to decide the world's strongest!

An Xing'er almost thought that her arrival had caused All Baimu to be unable to prepare for the match, and almost felt sad for it.

Why say almost?

Because when she went out to find someone and wanted to ask clearly, she found that dear Uncle All Baimu was standing on the head of Shiny Rayquaza, wantonly roaming the sky, occasionally making hearty "Woo-hoo" sounds.

An Xing'er was stunned, fully realizing her own wishful thinking, and went back with a red little face to continue scrolling through videos.

When All Baimu returned riding the dragon and found that An Xing'er's expression was wrong, he asked carefully before laughing and saying: "How should I put it, at my level, letting Pokémon have sufficient rest time is better than non-stop training."

Over the past few years, he had trained everyone a bit too fiercely.

It seemed that he had given enough rest time, but in reality, it was far from enough; even with additional methods like Pokémon massage, it wasn't enough to completely eliminate the accumulated fatigue.

Precisely because of this, he now trains three times a week, fully giving these monsters that are already level 90 the maximum rest time.

I believe that in this way, everyone will become long-lived, and the time they can accompany him will be longer.

Recently, having done too many inhuman things, All Baimu suddenly realized that he might live for a long time.

You see, AZ, who ingested the power of the Ultimate Weapon, can live for thousands of years, theoretically even possessing eternal life. He, a "human" who obtained the power of all Slates and was resurrected by Arceus himself, shouldn't have a problem living for a few hundred years, right?

No problem, right?

If there's a problem, he'll have to find a way to find the Azure Flute and summon Arceus to ask clearly.

"Wait and see my performance."

All Baimu patted An Xing'er's head and said softly.

……

The day before the Masters Eight opening.

Arranged by the tournament organizers, many Champions arrived one after another.

Fans from all over the world surrounded the airport lobby, and cheers and support sounds rose and fell, just to welcome the idols in their hearts.

Lance, Cynthia, Diantha, and Steven appeared one after another, accompanied by logistics and security teams specially arranged by regional Leagues.

Robust bodyguards and Fighting-type Pokémon formed a human wall, firmly blocking the swarming fans, allowing the Champions to wave to the fans confidently and calmly.

Iris also arrived, wearing Champion attire like a celestial maiden, enthusiastically waving and blowing kisses to the fans.

"Love you all~"

The reckless behavior didn't know how many screams it brought.

But except for Leon who had already arrived in Wyndon, and Ash who basically had no fans, there was clearly another Champion with high popularity who hadn't appeared for a long time. Time passed minute by minute, and many fans who were waiting here specifically felt quite disappointed.

They kept refreshing All Baimu's blog, wanting to know when he would get off the plane.

Unfortunately, there wasn't even news of him boarding the plane; the latest one was posted yesterday, a photo of the clear blue sky, with an attached explanation—

"Wyndon! I'm coming!"

Logically speaking, he should have arrived.

Orre is far from Galar, but it shouldn't take a whole day of flying without arriving, right?

Fans waited anxiously until the Orre delegation appeared.

Subconsciously screaming, but didn't see All Baimu's figure in the crowd, which made many people feel confused.

"Where is the Champion?"

"Where is Champion All Baimu!"

"We want to see the Champion!"

The fans shouted, and the response they got was that the Champion was still on the way, and a handsome young man told them that All Baimu didn't take a plane, but came to Wyndon in his own unique way.

Unique way? What way?

Some smart people realized that All Baimu might have come by riding a Pokémon—

Because Leon didn't do this kind of thing less; he didn't like taking planes or subways, he just liked riding Pokémon to fly around Galar.

With an official response, the understanding fans were disappointed, but they left one after another.

In the hotel, the president of the Mawile Support Club, Bei Lingyin, learned the news and thought All Baimu really didn't lie to her.

She was one of the few who could contact the person directly.

Having learned early on that All Baimu wouldn't come to the airport, she simply didn't arrange for the support club to pick him up.

Otherwise, the airport would definitely have become more congested!

Ever since Rose surrendered, the title of "Internet Marketing Emperor" had shifted from Leon to All Baimu.

Successfully allowing him to complete the fan accumulation of other Champions in a few years in just one year, which can be said to be quite terrifying.

At the same time.

All Baimu's friends and relatives outside the Orre region were also ready to watch the match on time.

For example, three generations of the Sootopolis Gym, including Wallace on vacation; the elders of Sootopolis City, old people like Old Qingliu; the two organizations of Team Aqua and Team Magma that love and kill each other.

Or Tetsuya and his sister; Phoebe's family on Mt. Pyre; the family of four of the Aether Foundation—Lillie chose to watch the match with her partners at the Pokémon School.

And Nemona, Arven, and Penny of Naranja Academy; Kieran, Carmine, and the Elite Four of Blueberry Academy; N and his two sisters who help wild Pokémon in some corner of the world.

May, Dawn, and others don't need to be mentioned; they not only pay attention to All Baimu, but also pay more attention to Ash, even if they have related matches tomorrow.

Even some people who had stories with All Baimu, such as the brothers of the Rustboro Gym, Urara who had exchanges when participating in the Pokémon Contest for the first time...

Everyone who knew him, either actively or passively, was paying attention to the Masters Eight.

Waiting for the birth of the world's strongest Champion!

The night was like ink.

The lights of Wyndon illuminated the night sky, dyeing the whole city into a warm and enthusiastic ocean.

On the night before the Masters Eight opening, this city that carries the dreams of countless Pokémon Trainers was holding grand celebrations everywhere.

The air was filled with laughter, fruit fragrance, and the breath of Pokémon, revealing the unique enthusiasm of the Galar region.

The main roads of the city were hung with colorful flags and posters of the Masters Eight Tournament, and light boards printed with the portraits of top players like Leon and Steven were arranged along the street; as the lights flickered, it seemed to be telling their legendary careers.

All the shops on both sides of the street opened their doors, and various Pokémon support props were placed at the door, from badges printed with Gigantamax Pokémon patterns to mini models of the tournament arena, dazzling, attracting passing crowds to stop and choose.

Occasionally, passing Pokémon shuttled through the crowd, groups of Nickit jumped under the lights, and the fluff of Eldegoss was brushed by the evening wind.

More Pokémon walked side by side with Trainers, occasionally making crisp calls.

Oleana walked through the streets.

The dim yellow lights shone on her clean and fair face, showing soft colors.

She hadn't come out for a stroll so leisurely for a long time; her high heels touched the bluestone bricks, making a light crisp sound.

According to the agreement, Shanren took on part of her work, allowing her to be liberated in a short time.

Oleana had a whim and prepared to come out to take a look. The World Championships and Masters Eight were Rose's hard work, and she wanted to witness it well before resigning.

She walked slowly along the street, passed the tap dance performance of Mr. Mime, passed the ensemble of a performer with an organ and Kricketune, listened to the bursts of laughter coming from her ears, saw travelers tasting Galar's special cuisine, drinking refreshing drinks, and felt exceptionally peaceful inside.

"Hoo..."

Oleana exhaled a cold breath, looking at the night sky, just as a firework bloomed.

The gorgeous streamers were reflected in her pupils, telling of her longing.

……

The Isle of Armor.

The Isle of Armor was very lively tonight.

A guest came to the Dojo after a long time, and he didn't come alone.

"Rayquaza!"

"That's Rayquaza, right? Why is the color different?"

"Idiot! Because it's Shiny! That's why it's different!"

The Dojo apprentices hid behind the mountain rocks, carefully looking at the huge black dragon coiled in the field in the distance.

Klara and Avery appeared one after another; the two were now second-string Gym Leaders in Galar, and if they worked hard, it was possible to become first-string one day.

For All Baimu's arrival, Klara's reaction was relatively calm, and Avery also bit his nails.

"This guy... is getting stronger and stronger! Even a Legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza..."

Beside the black dragon, All Baimu was talking with the Dojo Master, Mustard.

"Thank you for taking me in."

He smiled gratefully.

Mustard stroked his white long beard and laughed: "What are you saying? Am I that stingy? This is a friend coming from afar!"

Shiny Rayquaza's flight speed is not slow; under All Baimu's refusal of An Xing'er's proposal to use the rings, letting them all take a plane, he personally piloted Rayquaza and arrived in Galar from Orre in less than ten hours.

Fast is fast, but what followed was a very serious problem—

Where to park Shiny Rayquaza?

Although there is no need to worry about being ridden away, such a big Pokémon cannot be left around randomly.

This guy has no concept of time; if it's let out to play, it's very possible it will come back to find him a month later.

The best way is to capture it, but he wouldn't attack a friend for his own convenience; it's not Calyrex, which voluntarily became his power to repay his kindness.

After thinking about it, All Baimu decided to come to the Isle of Armor to make do for a night.

Not many people come here, very suitable as a temporary stop.

All Baimu also told Shanren about the matter, and Shanren said it was completely OK, and strongly expected him to make a big news.

After all, he had put in the labor!

If it's too conventional, Shanren will regret it to death!

All Baimu, who was completely unaware of the effort his good friend had put in, silently apologized to Leon, who would have his scene stolen.

But who told him to have such a high ranking?

If Leon's ranking were lower, allowing himself to become the top of the leaderboard, he wouldn't have been the second to last to appear.

All Baimu patted Shiny Rayquaza's nose, "I'll leave it to you tomorrow."

"Roar..."

The itchy touch made the black dragon sneeze.

A gust of wind hit, but All Baimu didn't almost get blown away like before; he was no longer the All Baimu of the past.

"Why didn't Master Mustard go to the scene to watch the match?"

He chatted with Mustard.

Mustard said: "It's the same wherever you watch it; I don't think it will be much different across the screen."

All Baimu laughed: "Really? You might regret it."

"Hahaha, impossible, I haven't regretted it for many years." Mustard laughed loudly, "If little All Baimu can do it, I can give you a gift."

All Baimu felt helpless about the nickname Mustard gave him without authorization, "Little All Baimu..."

"If you don't like it, Little Wood is also fine."

"……Please do as you please."

He was almost exhausted. ===== CHAPTER 1394 =====
