Chapter 799: Cats and Dogs

【Metal Burst】.

Steel-type physical move, which returns the damage taken to the opponent multiple times.

Although it's not as "rebounding" as Counter and Mirror Coat, it has the advantage of reflecting both Special and Physical attacks, and Steel-type moves have no attack blind spots.

Z-Move 【10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt】 based on Thunderbolt?

Reflect it too!

Canceling the range attack effect that had been deliberately trained before, Pikachu could be said to have taken the full output derived from itself, and on this basis, suffered further damage.

The stable and efficient damage accumulation successfully made this yellow fat mouse collapse on the spot.

The dazzling light dimmed.

"Pi... ka."

Pikachu lay on its back, revealing a pair of swirl eyes.

Ash hurriedly stepped forward to pick up his partner, calling out: "Are you okay, Pikachu?"

"Pika..."

Pikachu opened its eyes slightly and managed to smile at him.

Ash breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the Aggron not far away that had returned to its original form. The latter's breath was even and its expression peaceful, as if it had come out for an outing.

Only the uneven black scorched mark on its chest proved that it had just experienced a battle.

"So strong, All Baimu and his Pokémon... don't you think, Pikachu?"

Ash's eyes were full of admiration and excitement.

A single battle's defeat wasn't enough to defeat this boy who had experienced storms, and retreating when facing a strong enemy that was hard to defeat wasn't his personality either.

"Pika~"

The weak Pikachu gave an affirmative answer.

The two of them were a pair of partners who truly carried out the spirit of fighting repeatedly despite repeated defeats.

Professor Kukui raised his hand and announced: "Pikachu is unable to battle! Aggron wins!"

Clap clap clap clap——

A series of applause rang out.

The onlookers were very supportive and clapped vigorously.

Sophocles and the Togedemaru in his arms breathed a sigh of relief together.

"It's finally over, it made my palms sweat."

"Ma-chu-chu."

Kiawe clenched his fists excitedly: "If only I could possess this kind of powerful strength..."

Thousands, no, ten thousand! Ten thousand should be able to achieve it!

Seeing the goal, he no longer thought ten thousand was a void quantity, and he couldn't wait to battle more.

Mallow beside him sighed to Lillie: "This is the first time I've seen such a powerful Pokémon."

"Me too."

Lillie nodded. When her father was still around, he often took the siblings to other regions to watch battle competitions, but she was too young then, and now she had no memory of it.

Lana held up a finger and said confidently: "All Baimu must be a Champion! And the world's number one super Champion!"

"Really?"

The remaining four looked over immediately upon hearing this.

Who knew Lana would mischievously stick out her tongue: "Sorry, I was lying."

"Ah..."

The four were ashamed.

This seemingly quiet girl often made some outrageous jokes, but every time she was so confident that people had to believe her.

Inside the field.

All Baimu shook hands with Ash.

The two finally battled as they wished, and the outcome was also within his expectations—

Ash's street battle win rate was really low!

And battling this guy had two special tricks: one, end the battle quickly; extending the battle time easily allowed Pikachu or other core Pokémon to explode.

Two, try not to give Ash a chance to exert his whimsical ideas; once this guy thought of a tactic, he could make his Pokémon realize it immediately.

Especially Pikachu, like stepping on others' moves to attack, or stepping on the electricity it released to run out a tornado, there were countless incomprehensible techniques.

Ensuring a battle could proceed normally, Ash had no win rate against him.

The future Masters Eight were the same.

"Let's battle again next time!"

Ash said excitedly: "With my new partners!"

All Baimu naturally had no objections.

According to the current plot development, Ash's Rockruff should have already evolved into the unique Dusk Form Lycanroc.

Not bringing it with him meant it was left at Professor Kukui's lab with Litten to watch the house.

He was looking forward to seeing this cat and dog.

The two came to the edge of the field.

Professor Kukui laughed: "A wonderful battle! As expected of a Trainer who could defeat the head of the Hoenn Elite Four!"

"Elite Four?"

Another unfamiliar term made the Alolan natives look at each other. The show-off Rotom Pokédex immediately came up to explain.

All Baimu successfully harvested a crowd of admiring gazes.

Especially Kiawe.

He was almost ready to kneel down and become an apprentice.

But thinking about how he had to be responsible for the farm work, getting up early to deliver milk, and going to school after delivering milk, it was hard to find enough time to learn from All Baimu, so he had to give up silently.

"I won't continue to disturb your lunch break."

All Baimu proposed to leave.

In the Pokémon School, besides Kiawe and Ash, only Professor Kukui had some strength.

But most of his Pokémon were sent out to collect data, and the only one he brought with him, Incineroar, couldn't appear because he didn't want to expose his hidden identity as the Masked Royal.

Professor Kukui waved his hand with a smile: "See you tonight."

"See you tonight."

All Baimu left with Aggron and Hydreigon.

Just as he arrived at the school gate.

A girl's urgent call came from behind.

"Excuse me! Please wait a moment!"

"Kon~"

The person who came was Lillie and Alolan Vulpix. After some ideological struggle, she decided to take action.

All Baimu turned sideways and asked kindly: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lillie was one of his favorite female characters, gentle, kind, and strong. It could be said that if Lillie wasn't only ten years old, he might have had some bold ideas.

"Hoo..."

The blonde girl held her hat, looking a bit shy, placed her hands in front of her, bowed, and said sincerely: "I'm very sorry to have called you so presumptuously, but I really have no other way, I implore you to do me a favor."

"What favor?"

All Baimu raised an eyebrow, actually having a guess in his heart.

Lillie bit her lip and said: "If you meet my brother again, could you please persuade him to come home? I still have... my mother, who is very worried about him."

He thought to himself, sure enough, it was this.

As the first female lead of Sun and Moon, whose screen time exceeded Mallow and Lana, Lillie's family plot ran through the entire Sun and Moon.

Even in the Journeys anime, there were follow-up developments.

Lillie's personality in the early stages of the plot was a bit weak. She would desperately look for her brother because of poor communication with her mother Lusamine, and she couldn't touch any Pokémon due to the psychological shadow brought by the hypnosis reducing her memory.

But after truly encountering things, she could also become strong and evolve into 【Cheer-up Lillie】.

This was also a major reason why All Baimu liked Lillie.

"Sure."

He agreed, not giving Lillie a long-winded speech about "your brother has a firm goal, and as a sister you should fully support him," because the "fond of being a teacher" mode was limited to the battle aspect.

Because he really wanted to be a battle teacher at the Pokémon School.

What's more, Gladion, this dead kid, had problems himself. Training outside was training, but what was wrong with coming home to see them occasionally?

The more he wasn't willing to come home to see his sister and mother, the more it proved he hadn't been "weaned."

In the plot, his behavior of indiscriminately snapping at Lusamine was enough to highlight the child's childish psychology. So much so that he was later played around by someone like Faba.

Of course.

One couldn't be too harsh on a middle-school-aged boy in puberty.

——

Time quickly reached evening.

All Baimu, having finished playing in Hau'oli City, arrived in front of Professor Kukui's house.

"Sorry to disturb!"

His shout summoned barking and meowing. A large orange dog rushed out first, intending to pounce, but braked quickly after seeing his face.

"Woo..."

Ash's Dusk Lycanroc circled him, its nose sniffing constantly as if feeling something.

Unfortunately, it was their first meeting, and it couldn't feel anything.

At the doorway.

The cute Litten was squatting there. Finding that it wasn't Ash who returned, it licked its paws with its tongue in boredom.

As expected of the universe's number one initial form.

Its cuteness attribute was no worse than Rowlet's.

"Hahaha! Warm welcome!" Professor Kukui walked out wearing an apron and laughed: "Ash hasn't come back yet!"

All Baimu looked at the sky upon hearing this.

Remembered that the Pokémon School let out at two o'clock?

It was already sunset!

Was there any important plot?

He recalled, found none, and threw it to the back of his mind. As long as there was no main plot, Ash, such a big person, wouldn't get lost.

Professor Kukui thought the same, so he invited him in without caring, while introducing All Baimu to Dusk Lycanroc and Litten.

At this time, the difference between dogs and cats was reflected.

When Dusk Lycanroc learned that All Baimu was Ash's friend, it became extremely enthusiastic and started to frolic, twisting its head and butt like a lion dance, and jumping around like a crazy Golden Retriever.

By comparison, Litten was much colder, glanced at him casually, and walked back with a cat's gait when it shook its cat face.

"So obedient, so obedient, so obedient..."

All Baimu messed up Dusk Lycanroc's hair. Besides the hair color, this guy inherited the cross-shaped mane of Midday Lycanroc and the curved horn of Midnight Lycanroc, looking exactly like a bone-hyperplastic Houndoom.

"Awoo!"

Dusk Lycanroc stuck out its tongue happily.

Usually, humans and Pokémon who came to visit couldn't stand its enthusiasm. The last human who digested it was called Ash, so under Professor Kukui's accommodation, it became Ash's Pokémon.

And after All Baimu petted the dog, he quietly found Litten.

This little tsundere thing wasn't easy to talk to when it was a stray. Not to mention touching it, you were easily sprayed in the face with Ember if you got close.

But ever since it was caught by Ash, it became more and more open.

Therefore, Litten didn't reject All Baimu's rhythmic stroking.

"Meow~"

Its tail hooked into a circle, and it yawned lazily.

"Hmm... a bit hot."

All Baimu felt Litten's body temperature with his palm, thinking that as expected of a Fire-type Pokémon, its body temperature far exceeded that of ordinary Pokémon. If it were winter, wouldn't he have to hold it twenty-four hours a day?

A living little heater!

"Awoo!"

Dusk Lycanroc was unconvinced that it was being "neglected" and squeezed in to be petted.

Litten opened one eye and meowed disdainfully.

Cats and dogs were often at odds on the surface, but actually loved and killed each other.

All Baimu watched the interaction between the two Pokémon and couldn't help but think of the end of the Sun and Moon anime, when the big cat, which had already become Torracat, evolved into Incineroar, and the "who are you" expression on Dusk Lycanroc's face when it was eating wildly.

Partners growing up together are really good.

He couldn't help but show a motherly smile.

Suddenly.

"I'm back!"

"Pika-pi!"

"We're back, Roto!"

"Gala!"

Four voices led by Ash and Pikachu came one after another. Dusk Lycanroc and Litten, who were in a standoff, immediately went to greet their Trainer, posing as if nothing had happened.

"What a disastrous day."

Ash ran in to complain to Professor Kukui, and after finding All Baimu was also there, he immediately transferred the object of his complaint to the latter, "All Baimu! You don't know, Nebby it..."

In short.

It was Nebby using Teleport to fly him around, not only encountering Team Rocket, but later a group of people teleporting to the roof and almost not being able to come down, fortunately there was Kiawe's Charizard.

"What an incredible Pokémon."

All Baimu looked at Nebby's innocent smile and couldn't help but feel sorry that its cycle in this stage was too short.

It seemed like it evolved into Cosmoem after a few episodes.

Cute things are better if they last a little longer.

Not long after.

With All Baimu and Blissey helping in the kitchen, Professor Kukui finished a table of celebratory dishes. At this time, Professor Burnet hadn't moved into the lab yet, so the party only had three men and a group of Pokémon participating.

"Pa-li!"

Porygon2, which came out of the phone, stared at the Rotom Pokédex, making the latter sweat profusely, and even asked All Baimu what was going on.

All Baimu laughed: "It is also a Pokémon with high intelligence. Your races once had a dispute. Simply put, it's hating the house and its crow."

"Cannot understand, cannot understand." The Rotom Pokédex was about to crash.

Fortunately, Porygon2 only had a scary look. With the Porygon Phone about to be born, it wouldn't be jealous enough to do anything to the Rotom Pokédex, and it wasn't that petty.

The Rotom Pokédex tried to contact it, and unexpectedly they were quite compatible—

For example, in terms of complaining about the Trainer.

Regarding Ash, the Rotom Pokédex could complain for three days and three nights. When it entered the Pokédex, it never thought it would meet such a weird person.

It was just that weird was weird, the Rotom Pokédex felt that living with Ash was still quite happy.

Porygon2 listened silently to its seemingly complaining but actually showing off words. Although it wasn't very envious, it still couldn't help but invite a battle.

"Eh? No! I can't do this, Roto! I'm a theoretical type, Roto!" The Rotom Pokédex never went down to battle; it only prepared to focus on doing the duties of a Pokédex.

Porygon2 instantly showed a look of disdain.

"Why? Why look at me with that look, Roto? The duty of a Pokédex is very important, Roto! I'm not trash, Roto!"

The Rotom Pokédex was furious at a look.

But no matter what.

The two Pokémon, which belonged to a competitive relationship in terms of race, silently concluded a strange friendship.

After returning home.

Porygon2 said that if all Rotom in the world were like the Rotom Pokédex, that would be fine.

Anyway, they couldn't be like that Rotom in Saffron City! ===== CHAPTER 800 =====
