Chapter 1470
Ourei District Silicon Beryllium Airport.
Baimu and his bear disciple landed together, moving calmly through the crowd, unnoticed by anyone as the world king brushed past them.
Without a doubt, this is the breath-concealing technique.
The bear disciple's talent in learning is comparable to that of the Three-Headed Evil Dragon; it mastered the breath-concealing technique taught to it in less than two days with ease. Although not as profound as Baimu's, allowing free use at will, it is sufficient for most situations.
Such as the current airport.
"Walk slowly, this place is full of mixed company; who knows if someone might discover you." Baimu gestured for his bear disciple not to get too excited.
During this time together, Baimu could see that this little thing is young in age, earnest but not steady, and upon learning a new skill, immediately thinks of using it—completely unlike Baimu's habit, merely enriching the Pokémon's skill pool.
As for this journey to find Mew, if one were to say who gained the most, there is no doubt it is also the bear disciple.
It not only saw with its own eyes two of its kin outside Armor Island, but also gained considerable experience from them.
Most importantly, the bear disciple witnessed another battle that could be called top-tier high-end combat.
The versatile Mew and the indestructible Super Boss Cudora—whichever one, it made its heart race and long to replace them.
Surely, in the future, it too will be able to grow to this extent?
The bear disciple by Baimu's side is very certain.
After all, it hasn't been here long, yet it received a skill gift package, instantly mastering many unfamiliar moves, leaving it dazed and unsure which to use.
Finally arriving at the answer—
I want them all!
Thus, a bear disciple devoted to learning "all martial arts" is slowly progressing.
Platinum Silver Mountain Villa.
An Xin'er has already returned to the parallel world.
This little girl has recently become increasingly accustomed to traveling between the two worlds, while those left behind at Ourei Academy, such as Shengcai and others, are not impatient; they not only shuttle among many clubs but have also established a Super Z Team branch club, attempting to absorb the Elegant Society president Mingyi into it.
Besides, Fan Shilang seems to have become an external staff member.
This brat is strong and arrogant; few students can overpower him, and after enduring the alternating bombardments from Shengcai and Talni, he currently submits to both of them completely.
However, he is also curious about how Shengcai and Talni enrolled, and where they used to hang out before.
How come no one has heard of these two powerful individuals?
Shengcai is unwilling to expose her identity as a visitor from the parallel world, so she casually made up a few excuses.
Although Baimu also does not know what problems speaking out might cause, but since she is unwilling, how could he, as the school principal, meddle?
As for strength, Shengcai and Talni have both grown step by step; their opponents range from off-duty office workers to professional trainers running clubs—everything is covered.
When Fan Shilang could only bully minors, Shengcai and Talni were already bullying adults together; the Super Z Team's reputation echoed throughout the future Mialae, with the twin tyrants one mastering the white path—Kuosong Company, the other mastering the black path—Rust Erosion Group.
Yet they seem to have no habit of lording it over the citizens of Mialae City.
In short, the campus atmosphere is excellent; Baimu, as principal, is very pleased, and he, being idle and carefree, begins to consider unfinished matters.
Go to Paldea for a trip?
Baimu wants to return to Zone Zero to look at the ancient Phoenix King Guard; after all, it is the Pokémon he tamed, previously lacking the energy to bring it, now it's time to take in the left-behind children.
How to arrange them...
There are still several vacant seats near Platinum Silver Mountain; temporarily place them there to let them adapt to the new environment, then bring them to Platinum Silver Mountain later—no problem.
This matter has been put on the agenda.
Besides, there is also the simulator reward of time-space travel.
If I'm not mistaken, he will most likely be brought to the unsaved Ourei District, but it cannot be confirmed whether that place is a parallel world or the past of this world.
And what should he do after returning?
Contribute something to the rescue organization?
That is possible.
Baimu has again formulated a schedule.
Just as he hesitated about which to do first, the academy sent over a piece of exciting news—
Shuangjianwan evolved.
The progress speed of that Plasma Team student is astonishing, enough to rival many tournament winners Baimu simulated, suggesting he also possesses the talent of the Double Blue level.
Orange?
To be discussed.
But he still rushed to the school immediately, seeing the new generation's Xicui... oh no, it should be called the Great Sword Ghost (Ourei's form).
The black armor extending from the head to the spine, the horn curved like coral, the black-red blades embedded at the tips of the feet.
This is the new generation's Ourei Great Sword Ghost, aloof and arrogant, with a sinister and chilling aura.
Remember the Pokédex description of it: 'Compared to the forms discovered so far, which are upright in nature, Xicui's form of Great Sword Ghost has a nature and sword path both cruel and merciless, stopping at nothing for victory.'
Can its trainer suppress it?
The evolution speed is so fast that it reminded Baimu of Ash's Charmander, from the Charmander stage to the Charizard stage taking only three episodes.
Of course, during the Charmander stage it was already disobedient; when facing the trainer threatened by the Aerodactyl fossil, it would go to the rocks to slack off, pretending not to see.
Before the old Charizard turned over a new leaf, its black spots were truly numerous—no wonder it was called 'Old Charizard Teacher'.
Great Sword Ghost...
Baimu stared at this Pokémon; the other party faintly sensed a threat and immediately drew the curved evil sword on its back to block in front of its trainer.
"Not bad."
Baimu nodded satisfied.
Among those accompanying him were researchers from the Xicui Research Institute, who quickly conducted multiple examination items on the Great Sword Ghost.
Shannyu, upon learning the definite news, was equally overjoyed.
"Our region's competitiveness is even stronger now!"
If a region wants to develop, how can it do without unique Pokémon? Ash not choosing Alola but choosing Paldea left Mount Tengen regretting it for a long time.
He said—
Alola clearly also has Paldea Pokémon!
It's just that the numbers are especially few.
Baimu told him not to dwell on it too much, as many major events in Paldea have basically been resolved by himself, so Ash might not necessarily stir up any waves back then.
... Not necessarily?
He actually wasn't sure either.
Paldea region still has many legendary Pokémon that he hasn't seen.
After rewarding the trainer who trained the big sword ghost and encouraging the trainer who trained the feathered owl, Baimu found Mingyi.
"Can you row a boat or swim?"
"Huh?"
The flustered and at-a-loss Mingyi briefly thought, then weakly shook her head.
Baimu then asked: "What homework have your teachers recently assigned you?"
The girl listed them off in detail.
After she finished listing all the homework, Baimu said: "How about this, I'll arrange a course for you—do you accept?"
"Of, of course!"
Mingyi answered without hesitation.
How could she not accept, when everyone at school keeps saying she and two others are Baimu's personal disciples? But she herself knows that, aside from telling her to treat the fire rock mouse well, Baimu has never said anything about taking her as a disciple.
Regarding this, Mingyi felt both a little disappointed and somewhat relieved.
She worried she couldn't meet the other's expectations.
"Within half a month, learn to swim, then figure out how to obtain a Pokémon that can help you leave the academy island ten kilometers away."
Baimu paused, then said: "Any means are fine—flying, swimming, electromagnetic levitation."
After hearing this, Mingyi took a deep breath: "Okay!"
"You agreed that quickly? Quite confident?" Baimu asked with a smile.
Mingyi earnestly clenched her fists: "I'll do my best!"
This is the first course arranged after the principal entrusted her with the fire rock mouse, so naturally she must pay special attention to it!
Half a month, learn to swim and obtain a Pokémon?
For Mingyi, this is undoubtedly a rather arduous challenge.
After all, just like N, she doesn't really like using Poké Balls to catch Pokémon, so compared to that, swimming is actually much simpler.
The school also has an outdoor pool and a swimming hall, where students can take swimming classes or apply to use them.
"Alright, I'll look forward to it."
Baimu smiled and rubbed Mingyi's head, whereupon she blushed and lowered her head.
—
The abandoned ship island outside the academy.
Baimu's second visit here found no trace of wild Pokémon inside or out.
Regarding actively opening the spirit realm entrance, due to worries of things going wrong, he proactively researched many materials and finally came up with a somewhat unconventional method—
Collect high-concentration spiritual items.
Remember that room 1608 at the Zi Jin Grand Hotel, which was affected by many strange items composed of unknown totems, leading to its appearance.
That place is also where Baimu first met Duo Long Baluoto.
As for how to find the items...
The answer is very obvious.
Just ask Fu Rong for one!
As the strongest spirit medium in the Pokémon world, she surely has plenty of high-concentration spiritual items on hand—more than enough to open a stable spirit realm entrance.
But she doesn't understand why Baimu needs this thing.
Upon learning it's for letting extinct Pokémon reappear, Fu Rong showed some hesitation.
"Spirit realm entrances aren't that easy to use."
"I know, so it's only a temporary solution."
Fu Rong faced Baimu's confident demeanor and said nothing more, handing him a broken, rotten bone.
The bone is very thick, like the leg bone of some Pokémon.
But Baimu recognized this thing should be the thick bone of a Gyalagya.
"This is the safest spiritual item I have—it comes from a deceased Gyalagya who lingered in the mortal realm searching for its lost child."
Fu Rong began recounting a story very familiar to him.
However, the final outcome was that Gyalagya successfully found its child and successfully passed on.
Unfortunately, its thigh bone, having been soaked in death qi from the spirit realm for too long, turned into a terrifying spiritual object and did not go with Gyalagya.
Karakara was too weak to bear it, so naturally it couldn't carry its mother's relic away.
"I originally wanted to purify it, but indeed I lack the strength."
Fu Rong said regretfully.
Since the birth of the spirit realm, it has been part of nature; bones swallowed by spiritual qi, like reefs corroded by seawater, cannot turn back.
Therefore, spirit mediums, to some extent, count as a profession that goes against nature.
Baimu felt quite grateful to Furong; if not for her help, he would most likely have had to go to the Spirit World himself with Duolong Balu Tuo to find a suitable spirit anomaly.
By then, if Giratina caught them in the act, the two sides would brawl wildly — who knew whose brains would get beaten out.
Of course, this time with the Stone Tablet's power, it wouldn't come to troubling Arceus to clean up the mess again.
After both sides agreed.
Furong personally delivered the club bone over; at the time Hu Pa was there, so it was convenient and there was no need to worry about problems en route.
And after placing this club bone here, he specifically commissioned Spirit Steed to stand guard here.
Originally he planned to have Galarian Corsola do this job, but then felt that making it a security guard this early would be letting it off a bit too easy.
And then he didn't agree.
At this, Galarian Corsola threw a tantrum.
What a great job, Spirit World gatekeeper! Nothing to do but block the door and slack off — who knows how many years of detours it would save!
As its Trainer, Baimu actually didn't reserve this cushy post for it!
Galarian Corsola was practically exploding with rage.
Even more hateful: Baimu not giving it the post was one thing, but he also liked getting in its face — this time he deliberately perched it on his shoulder.
To let it see how wonderful the reclusive life is?
Galarian Corsola seethed with indignation.
The bottom of the wrecked ship.
A bone club rotted more than halfway was surrounded by many wondrous characters; around the characters, faint blue candles were lit.
Furong said this is Spirit World fire; when it goes out, it means the Spirit World's gate has opened; when it closes, it reignites.
"Chi si~ Chi si~"
Low calling voices came from the dim surroundings.
Many Candle Spirits with pale blue flames atop their heads poked out; they swiftly approached Baimu, touching his trouser legs with wax-oil-coated claws.
Baimu very naturally crouched down, handing them the prepared Pokemon food.
"Thanks for your hard work, everyone."
These Candle Spirits hailed from Mount Platinumsilver; they were some of the underlings Spirit Steed brought over; they were undoubtedly better suited to the Spirit World's environment, thriving in a place like this.
As the gatekeeper, Spirit Steed naturally guarded another spot; it wouldn't show itself casually under normal circumstances; the physical-world side was left to them.
Essentially, the Candle Spirits didn't need to do much — just scare off any wild Pokemon that didn't know better.
Baimu would come by periodically to pay wages.
The power of glowing cuisine was immense, even surpassing the vital energy the Candle Spirits instinctively wanted to absorb, causing these guys to treat glowing cuisine as their main meal and vital energy as a mere snack.
"Spirit Steed!"
He called out in person.
As his voice fell, the candle flames surrounding the rotten bone went out; a wondrous aura emerged behind him, and an icy, slippery sensation brushed past his neck.
Baimu helplessly put his arm around the horse's head. "How come you still can't kick this habit?"
"Hilulü~"
Spirit Steed treated it as wind in its ears.
A habit?
How can draining people be called a habit?
When you go around finding furry Pokemon to pet, you don't think there's a habit problem either, do you?
It's just that it pets people, while Baimu pets Pokemon!
Spirit Steed was remarkably righteous and confident about this.
And after draining some of Baimu's energy for a while, Spirit Steed began sharing the recent situation; actually there were no major problems — after the rotten bone caused the Spirit World entrance to open, it successfully attracted quite a few Ghost-type Pokemon.
But Baimu himself probably never expected —
"Duraludon clan and Cursola clan?"
"Huu~"
Spirit Steed gave an affirmative answer.
Living in the sea area near this part of the Spirit World, there were basically no vengeful spirits or ghosts, only a small bunch of Duraludon clan and Cursola clan, and they generally lived on the seabed of the Spirit World Sea, never coming "ashore".
