Chapter 782

Ten Carat Hill.

This place is located in the southeast of Melemele Island.

All Baimu stood on the high slope at the edge, with Hydreigon and Totem Raticate beside him, silently overlooking this basin that was not very big.

Countless Alolan Rattata and Rattata were scattered everywhere, digging holes and kicking up dust, diligently looking for something.

During the period, there was also a Steelix digging around like a fierce dragon.

The wild Pokémon originally inhabiting here looked at these uninvited guests in confusion.

Looking for some Sparkling Stone...

They don't have any here!

If it weren't for seeing the Rattata and Rattata burying the soil back after digging, they would definitely protest.

"Don't dig through! It's hollow inside!"

All Baimu shouted from afar.

Totem Raticate's expression next door was extremely unhappy.

Now it regrets more and more that it shouldn't have sent little brothers to track.

Clearly it was just curious why this guy, like the little girl who came before, could take a small ball and bomb them wildly.

Are these two people hiding something?

Or All Baimu is simply not a challenger of the Island Challenge.

As a result, not only was the little brother discovered, but he was also used as a bargaining chip by this despicable human to threaten it.

You know, their Rattata have always been rampant on Melemele Island, and only the Totem Gumshoos group can slightly "block" their footsteps.

Now they are being ordered around by a human.

Totem Raticate was so angry that it ground its big front teeth.

"Hmm?"

All Baimu heard a noisy strange sound in his ear, turned his head and laughed: "Why are you so angry? I didn't let your little brothers work for nothing."

He pays "wages."

Since he got used to organizing one or two Pokémon on Mount Silver to take to the arena for teaching, he would give them food as wages when he asked wild Pokémon for help.

"Rata!"

Totem Raticate glanced at Hydreigon.

Thinking that if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't beat this guy, it would have fought All Baimu long ago.

Exchange labor for rewards?

That's not the Rattata of Melemele Island!

Their Alolan Rattata also have backbone; working is absolutely impossible; only ravaging farmland and harming warehouses is their proper job!

All Baimu didn't care about the failure of his mouth cannon.

Anyway, the purpose has already been achieved.

With so many wild Rattata and Rattata helping him find it, as long as Ten Carat Hill is buried with Sparkling Stones as imagined, finding them is just a matter of time.

Even if he can't find them in the first two days, he can narrow the exploration range once James's machine is made.

He couldn't help but sigh at his own quick wit.

Let's talk reason.

Bargaining with wild Pokémon is not a wise choice; these guys who are difficult to tame will often choose to "die together" when forced.

Fortunately, Totem Raticate is very smart, and its relatively high human-like intelligence gives it the possibility of negotiation.

The tiger skin of the Island Kahuna is also good enough to use.

Suddenly.

A Rattata ran up from below.

He showed a smile: "Found it?"

Totem Raticate widened its eyes and quietly spat on the ground beside it, trying to show its disdain for the former.

However, what was found was not a Sparkling Stone.

"Squeak!"

Rattata spat a water-blue crystal onto the ground, inside which was a pattern resembling wings.

All Baimu bent down to pick it up, and Hydreigon leaned over to look.

"Flyinium Z! Didn't expect to find a Z-Crystal first; really lucky." He looked at Totem Raticate, who had a face of having eaten shit.

Guarded against everything, in the end, he still got a second Z-Crystal from their hands.

Failed the glorious mission given by the Guardian Deity.

Shame!

Totem Raticate's tears were about to fall from sadness.

Don't look at it as fat, and often arranging for little brothers to make trouble everywhere, looking like the designated evil force on Melemele Island, but it actually values honor very much.

And its honor is to provide Darkinium Z to Island Challenge challengers with qualified strength.

Apart from this, nothing else is discussed.

Now that someone has actually obtained a second Z-Crystal other than the Darkinium Z from under its claws, the stubborn Totem Raticate finds it very difficult to accept this point.

"Rata!"

It ran down the mountain in a breakdown.

All Baimu looked at Hydreigon and that Rattata in confusion: "What's wrong with your boss? Is there a problem with this Flyinium Z?"

"Squeak..."

Rattata was also very confused.

The boss isn't a personality that gets angry so easily.

Where they didn't notice, a yellow shadow quietly chased after the position where Totem Raticate left.

After a while.

Totem Raticate returned with humiliation, but compared to the indignation when it left, the mood at this moment had calmed down a lot.

Mainly because it met the Guardian Deity.

Although there was no communication, it realized that the Guardian Deity didn't blame it for losing the second Z-Crystal, which gave Totem Raticate's heart a little comfort.

It also understood that All Baimu was indeed an Island Challenge challenger, and the Guardian Deity was observing him in secret.

All behaviors were acquiesced by the Guardian Deity.

So Totem Raticate returned.

"Are you okay?"

All Baimu asked; if luck is bad, the rat group's search might last two or three days, so it is very necessary to care about the partner's mental health.

Totem Raticate's response was to turn its face and raise its head.

The bad attitude made Hydreigon want to burn it into coke with a dragon breath.

It's fine if there's no big problem.

All Baimu smiled and took back his gaze; for wild Pokémon that frequently refuse kindness, if there is a plan—like when he faced Dragapult, he could only try patiently step by step.

For Pokémon without plans, just don't come and go after the cooperation ends.

——

The excavation project lasted for a whole day.

Sunset.

All Baimu, who had no more gains, watched the Rattata and Rattata filling the pits, thinking that if there were none in the basin, he could only dig inside the mountain.

Fortunately, there were many tunnels like long snakes inside Ten Carat Hill.

He flipped through the information; a long, long time ago, Ten Carat Hill was a volcano, but now it has lost the ability to be active, and safety is guaranteed to some extent.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

He began to distribute the agreed Pokéblocks, like a foreman distributing wages to workers.

In fact, the nutritional value of Pokéblocks is extremely high, and versions that can satisfy the daily activity needs of Munchlax can be made according to different recipes.

It's just that there is no feeling of fullness.

After distributing all the Pokéblocks with Shiny Gengar and Blissey, he watched the rat group leave and took out the box containing the Z-Crystals to observe carefully.

In just two days, he had harvested three Z-Crystals.

Even if the future is not as smooth as these two days, he believes that collecting all sixteen Z-Crystals within half a year is just around the corner.

"Celebrate tonight!"

He said to his Pokémon with a smile.

Hydreigon and Gengar didn't show any expressions yet, Blissey was the first to happily swing its hands.

"Happy!"

It wants to show its skills and wash away the shame of yesterday.

Of course.

It's the recipe that succeeded before; new dishes still need a certain amount of time to run in, and it doesn't want to continue wasting food.

Time came to night.

All Baimu drank the last bit of drink in the cup and left the dining table placed on the beach.

Not far away.

The bonfire was burning fiercely.

The Dreepy siblings looked admiringly at Hydreigon and Aggron competing to see who could eat faster and more, completely unaware that the food on their plates was being stolen by the Galarian Corsola.

This bad guy who is used to slacking off always steals other people's food with the reason "I think it doesn't want it anymore."

Porygon2 is helping Mawile take pictures and edit them.

"Chido~"

It pointed to its jawline to show it wanted to look thinner.

Thinner?

If it gets any thinner, it will become Alakazam; how ugly is a cone face.

Porygon2 found it difficult to understand Mawile's aesthetics, but couldn't overcome it, so it had to edit the picture to look as less strange as possible.

"Luo tuo..."

Dragapult rarely popped out, nervously playing cards with Gengar.

Even if the loser only needs to pay for fries.

Steelix lay under the table, and the continuous snoring blew up a lot of sand.

It dug holes for a day at Ten Carat Hill today; it was cool and tired, and it fell asleep not long after eating dinner.

Inside the wooden house.

Blissey was still busy in front of the stove, looking like it was enjoying itself, and even hummed a happy tune.

All Baimu faced the waves into the sea and swam to the side of the Shiny Milotic, who raised its beautiful snake neck to bathe in the moonlight.

"You are really becoming more and more goddess-like, aren't you?"

He touched Milotic's smooth skin.

"Migo~!"

Milotic happily rubbed his chin.

As a Pokémon holding the cliché element 【Heartthrob】, all wild aquatic Pokémon on the shallow beach have already become its followers.

Especially the male Milotic attracted here, wandering around all day.

It's a pity that Milotic has little interest in this fellow clan.

On a whim.

All Baimu rode on Milotic's back, "Go! Let's take a stroll in the sea!"

"Migo~"

Milotic's azure eyes were exceptionally bright in the moonlight; it chirped happily, jumped out of the sea in the posture of a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and then took All Baimu into the seabed.

The seabed at night is deep and pitch black.

But watching the radiance of the bright moon falling underwater has a different flavor, and many sleeping wild Pokémon made him want to reach out and tease them.

Fine.

The act of disturbing people's dreams is a bit immoral.

"Wupu!"

Milotic rode the wind and waves out of the water; All Baimu on its back spat out the stuffiness in his chest, seeing them getting closer and closer to an island, behind which was the beach house getting further and further away.

Is it Treasure Island?

He looked up to confirm the direction through the starry sky, judging that the island was indeed the uninhabited island closest to Melemele Island—Treasure Island, that's right.

"What are you doing bringing me there?"

All Baimu asked curiously, lying in Milotic's ear.

Milotic tilted its head slightly, chirping happily to indicate that the wild male Milotic brought it here to play once yesterday; he felt it was very interesting, so he planned to share it with the Trainer.

... How can you share it in the middle of the night.

All Baimu covered his face.

Milotic is really stupid and cute; he kidnapped him to an uninhabited island in the middle of the night just to share a good place.

A few minutes later.

Milotic took All Baimu and rushed onto the beach, almost hitting a dead tree, scaring many Wimpod active nearby, causing a dark crawl.

"Wimpod, huh..."

All Baimu looked at these Pokémon that looked like a combination of sea cockroaches and horseshoe crabs running away, and remembered its evolution, Golisopod.

I have to say, that Pokémon still hits his aesthetics relatively well.

It's a pity that the ability is really too bad.

Without a reliable tactic to match, the 【Emergency Exit】 ability is worse than nothing.

He sat down on the dead tree and teased Milotic for a while, thinking:

"Since I'm here, I might as well take the opportunity to simulate once."

He tapped the air, and the simulator started smoothly.

A considerable amount of time had passed since the last orange-plus-blue simulation, and the accumulated simulation times had reached four again.

It was time to consume them.

Redemption interface.

All Baimu clicked the option to exchange for blue talent three times—

【Redemption successful】!

Good omen!

He clicked on the new simulation happily.

【Choose your birth region▽】

After Unova is Kalos.

【Choose your gender▽】

Female.

【Choose your Pokémon▽】

Swirlix? This Pokémon is...

A Pokémon that looked like pink cotton candy flashed through All Baimu's mind.

Full of cute elements.

The new simulation object wouldn't be a dessert chef, right?

All Baimu thought, and gradually began to look forward to it.

If it's a dessert chef, maybe there could be dessert memories that match the level of glowing cuisine? Mawile would definitely be very happy.

He clicked on the talent.

Fixed talent:

【☆Flower-like Appearance (will receive help from others)】

Optional talent:

【☆Well-bred (Pokémon have higher overall quality)】

【Peach Blossoms (may interact with the opposite sex)】

【Sentimental (mentality easily shaken)】

【Physically strong (very healthy)】

Flower-like Appearance again!

All Baimu was shocked; the Flower-like Appearance entry appeared in the last round, and it's here again in this round; is the simulation a Pokémon Performer?

Or a well-known actress like Champion Diantha?

His gaze fell on the optional talent; let's talk reason, these two talents, Peach Blossoms and Flower-like Appearance, look like they have some kind of connection...

How about.

Choose and try?

The result of double blue talent is destined to be the winner of the conference; logically, choosing anything won't change the result... right?

The restlessness in his heart prompted All Baimu to give up the safer physically strong, and changed it to well-bred plus Peach Blossoms.

Although he had been pitted by Peach Blossoms several times.

But this time, All Baimu chose to believe in love.

——

【Simulation starts】

The light screen unfolded.

All Baimu hugged Milotic expectantly.

The first thing that appeared in the picture was a towering tree with fiery red leaves; a rather ancient house was built under the big tree, looking like it had been there for many years.

However.

The camera didn't move to the inside of the house, but pulled down again to a shop.

The shop seemed to be selling clothes; the door was covered with beautiful clothes like butterflies, but they hadn't attracted passersby to stop.

An ordinary female NPC was sighing at the counter.

In the room deep in the shop, a black-haired girl wearing a strange long-sleeved short skirt was facing a pink one.

【At the age of twelve, you heard your mother say that the clothes at home were becoming harder and harder to sell, and you thought about what you could do for her】

This is...

Long-sleeved kimono girl!

Isn't this one of the gym NPCs of the Laverre Gym?

How did it become a kimono shop at home?

All Baimu has always had a deep memory of female NPCs with good-looking portraits in the game; he knew that in addition to this black-haired version of the long-sleeved kimono girl, there were three other girls who looked like different races.

All four were very cute.
