Chapter 804

Olivia is very enthusiastic.

It's just that she doesn't have much sense of boundaries.

All Baimu originally wanted to teach those two Salandit a lesson, to let them understand that Pokémon have to pay a price for stealing things, but he and Blissey were forcibly dragged away by Olivia.

"I don't even know your name yet! Where are you from? Do you have a place to stay tonight? Stay in Ohana Town! Twenty-four-hour hot water!"

She looked just like someone pulling guests for a hotel.

He had no choice but to try every possible way to resist the enthusiasm from the Island Queen, while making a simple self-introduction.

Speaking of which, she asked who he was only after the trial was already set...

Wouldn't that be a bit too late?

All Baimu had to tell himself that this was a specialty of Akala Island.

The specialty of Melemele Island is being moody; what is the specialty of Akala Island?

Crazy?

Very likely.

At least in the anime plot, Tapu Lele is quite crazy, much crazier than Tapu Koko, who thinks highly of Ash; for example, it would vent its anger on the two Lycanroc nearby because it couldn't heal Ash's Rockruff.

It even used Draining Kiss to draw stamina from them and infuse it into Ash's Rockruff.

"No need, really no need, I appreciate the kindness."

He insisted on returning to Melemele Island, finally making Olivia give up the idea of introducing him to a hotel.

But Ohana Town still had to be visited.

Olivia emphasized repeatedly: "The Moomoo Milk produced in Ohana Town will definitely make your eyes light up! You won't lose out by going to see it!"

"Alright, alright..."

How could All Baimu dare not give her face.

The two left the foot of Wela Volcano, walking and chatting, crossing the lush wilderness, and soon arrived at a small town full of American Western style.

Solid loess roads, rows of red-roofed wooden houses, including the windmills and water towers in the distance.

It revealed a thick ranch atmosphere.

He looked up at the town's sign.

A Mudsdale neighing with its head held high, a Mudbray with its back turned, and white wheels.

"Welcome to Ohana Town!"

Olivia was full of smiles, but found that All Baimu seemed absent-minded, his gaze looking behind her.

She couldn't help but turn around curiously.

A dark-skinned young man holding a box was walking out of a house.

"Kiawe~! Alola!"

Seeing an acquaintance, Olivia waved happily.

Kiawe looked over when he heard the sound, a smile quickly appearing on his face as he took the initiative to approach, shouting with full breath: "Olivia! All Baimu! Alola!"

"Alola."

All Baimu nodded.

Kiawe's home was in Ohana Town.

Plus, at this time, the Pokémon School was already out of class, so meeting him wasn't a strange thing.

The young man stated that he was delivering ice cream to a restaurant in town, and after hearing Olivia say that she brought All Baimu to Ohana Town to let him appreciate the ranch scenery and incidentally try the Moomoo Milk produced in Ohana Town, he immediately patted his chest and volunteered.

"Leave it to me, Olivia! Who doesn't know that the Moomoo Milk produced at my family's ranch in Ohana Town is the best quality!"

After saying that.

He looked left and right like lightning, and after not finding anyone else, he felt relieved and continued: "All Baimu! Come to my family's ranch to play!"

Does this guy seem to lack confidence?

All Baimu's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Olivia beside him, seeking her opinion.

After all, he was brought here by her.

The Island Queen laughed openly: "Of course! Rather, I was just thinking that! Kiawe's family's ice cream is a delicacy not to be missed!"

*Gule! *

A certain Poké Ball on All Baimu's waist suddenly trembled.

"..." He understood that if he didn't agree, he would very likely be pinched to death by a certain young lady after returning.

The "hostage" was successfully transferred.

Olivia left behind a "have fun" and left; the position of Island Queen is quite idle if you say it's idle, but there are indeed many things to do if you want to be busy.

The two waved goodbye to Olivia and headed to Kiawe's ranch while chatting.

On the way.

Kiawe stated that he was increasing the frequency of his battles, returning from school to randomly pick two lucky people in Heahea City, and only returning to the ranch after the battle ended.

All Baimu praised him lavishly without stinting.

For a young Trainer, regardless of the result, having this enthusiasm is enough.

Didn't Ash also fail tournament after tournament until he succeeded?

Reasonably speaking, if it were any protagonist of a royal road competitive manga, they would have won the league tournament in the second year; unlike him, who carried it to the sixth generation—originally even the seventh generation!

While talking.

A vast green grassland came into All Baimu's view, with rows of red-roofed wooden houses sitting on the wilderness like embellishments, and Pokémon like Tauros, Miltank, and Mudbray scattered like stars.

"We're here! This is my family's ranch!"

Kiawe said with special pride.

The ranch is located at the foot of Wela Volcano, with fertile soil and fresh green grass, making it most suitable as a ranch.

And under his introduction, All Baimu got to know his mother, Amala, whose dyed hair was very close to his, and his father, Rango, who was exactly the same except for his hairstyle and height.

Rango very politely offered his business card.

"Please take care of me."

"It's me who should be saying that; I hope you don't mind the intrusion today." All Baimu responded politely, successfully gaining quite a bit of favorability from Rango.

And besides his parents.

Kiawe's family also had an important character.

I saw a little girl in a pink shirt standing beside Blissey, blinking her eyes.

"Happy~"

Blissey greeted her.

The little girl revealed a smile, "Blissey is so cute!"

Kiawe saw this and immediately revealed a smile that looked particularly comical, saying in a cutesy voice: "This is my super cute little sister, Simi!"

"Brother!"

Simi was furious, clenching her small fists and shouting.

Damn sis-con!

All Baimu complained in his heart.

But it's not his fault for thinking this way, because Kiawe's protectiveness over his sister reached an almost perverted level; Simi would just hold an empty pot and he would rush over to snatch it away, calling it: dangerous.

Why else would one say the specialty of Akala Island is crazy?

Hardworking, diligent young men like Kiawe would become abnormal at certain times.

"Ranch special ice cream is here!"

Rango brought the ice cream highly recommended by the Island Queen, with an exaggerated portion, looking just like a stuffed KFC family bucket.

A Poké Ball on All Baimu's waist jumped violently.

He helplessly took out the ball and opened it, saying in a low voice: "No need to be like this, it's not like we haven't eaten good things."

*Bang! *

"Mawile!"

Mawile landed and happily went to get the ice cream.

Mainly because it hadn't had enough of the shaved ice dessert last night, and All Baimu was afraid it would have stomach problems if he gave it a second bowl, so he had made it addicted.

Eating a big meal now would make it better.

"So cute!"

Simi looked in surprise at Mawile, who turned to share the ice cream with Blissey.

Girls really mostly like cute Pokémon... actually, boys do too, at least All Baimu, this boy, does.

Kiawe's expression was slightly strange.

He had seen the fierce Aggron and Hydreigon, and then saw the cute Mawile and Blissey, and for a moment he couldn't quite grasp someone's style.

Like himself, he walked the cool style that was fiery to the end.

And All Baimu knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, saying cleanly and neatly: "Want to have a battle?"

"Ah? No, I have things to do—"

Kiawe subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the sentence he heard next made him change his mind.

All Baimu said: "Don't worry, it'll be quick; I'll get it done within a minute."

Arrogant!

Although Kiawe admired All Baimu's strength, since the latter had said such things, where would he put his dignity as a Trainer if he didn't accept the battle!?

"Alright then! Let's have a decisive battle!"

His suddenly raised volume made Simi turn her head, and Blissey prepared to appear under All Baimu's hand gestures.

Before appearing, she dug a spoonful of ice cream for the Trainer and sent it up eagerly.

All Baimu leaned down and ate it, savoring it carefully.

"Hmm~"

It was indeed a delicacy; Olivia didn't lie.

Mawile suddenly lost a girlfriend to share food with, but it didn't mourn for her for even a moment; the next one to rush to the ice cream battlefield was—

Shiny Gengar!

In terms of gluttony, it wasn't any worse than Mawile.

The two ate ice cream while watching this battle that was claimed to be resolved within a minute.

Simi looked surprised and shouted: "Is this going to be a battle?"

"Yes, Simi, be good, move aside a bit, it's very dangerous."

Kiawe's serious face could never hold up in front of his sister, turning into a pampering face that made people feel sick.

Simi was indeed very well-behaved, retreating when told to, completely different from the two demon sisters in Lana's family, blinking her big eyes with curiosity.

Mawile kindly shared ice cream with her, as if sharing popcorn during a movie.

Simi shook her head, "Simi doesn't need to."

Even the best food will get boring if you eat it every day.

On the other side.

The two stood on either side of the dirt road, with a Blissey in the middle.

"Last time it was Turtonator... then this time I'll leave it to you! Marowak!" Kiawe shouted and threw the Poké Ball.

*Bang! *

"Marowak!"

A small dinosaur with a bone head and a thick, long bone club in its hand landed.

It shook the bone club, and two cyan ghost flames burned at the tip.

Alolan Marowak, the Bone Keeper Pokémon, Fire and Ghost type.

Ghost hits Normal.

You can't hit me, I can't hit you.

All Baimu secretly gave Kiawe a thumbs up and said loudly: "Come on! You go first!"

"Alright!"

Kiawe nodded decisively; he had no other thoughts now, just preparing to let Marowak drag it out for a minute.

Even dragging it out wouldn't prove anything.

He shouted: "Bone Boomerang!"

"Marowak!"

Marowak shouted, the bone club in its hand spinning at high speed, then suddenly threw it forward!

Not far away.

Kiawe's parents stood in the distance, not disturbing the battle here, just a little curious about All Baimu, because they had actually heard his name from Kiawe's mouth a long time ago.

Compared to Ash, who came to play at home last time, when Kiawe talked to his parents about All Baimu, his tone was full of respect.

One must know that besides Kiawe's grandfather and Island Queen Olivia, Kiawe rarely worshipped someone from the bottom of his heart.

They were very curious about the reason.

But they didn't expect the answer to come so quickly.

The two saw Blissey suddenly shrink her body in the face of the thrown bone club, becoming only half her size, easily avoiding it.

"This is..."

"Minimize!"

Just as the two were surprised, Marowak inexplicably flew up, and the bone club that was attacking from behind missed again because it wasn't low enough.

Then.

Before Marowak could catch the bone club, it was driven by a blue light and rushed straight into the sky!

*Whoosh~*

And like a meteor, it crashed to the ground.

*Thud! *

A teeth-chattering loud noise echoed in the ranch plains, and many Mudbray nearby swallowed the mud in their mouths, looking over here curiously.

Successfully seeing Marowak fainted in a small pit.

Kiawe's parents clicked their tongues.

The battle ended so quickly?

Island Queen Olivia wouldn't be much better than this!

No wonder!

Beside Mawile.

Simi's mouth opened into an "O" shape, then she hurriedly ran up to care about Marowak's injuries, calling out repeatedly: "Marowak, are you okay?"

Marowak woke up but didn't want to open its eyes.

It had never lost so miserably, and very much doubted that it was still sleeping—in short, it didn't want to face reality.

"Happy~"

Blissey stepped forward, and after observing, she used Heal Pulse and Heal Bell for a full set.

To make a long story short.

All Baimu looked at his watch and walked toward Kiawe, saying: "Forty-eight seconds, not even a minute."

"..."

Kiawe was like a defeated brave eagle, his whole person withered.

Not being able to hold on for even a minute in a battle with someone else was a huge blow to his confidence.

"Can't take it?"

All Baimu looked at his expression, patted his back hard, and said: "It's right that you can't take it! Remember this whenever you lose motivation, bite into the unwillingness and humiliation, and rush forward again!"

Upon hearing this, Kiawe's dejected expression converged.

He wasn't a character who would wallow in self-pity after all, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "I understand!"

"Good that you understand."

All Baimu nodded.

Why did Kiawe fall from Ash's rival in the early stage to a semi-extra in the later stage?

Setting aside elements like screen time, it was also related to his own lack of motivation, so much so that it wasn't until the Ula'ula Island much later that he had a short episode of highlight.

The current him seems very hardworking, practicing moves without sleeping in the middle of the night, but actually, most of the time he is doing useless work.

If the method is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it's a waste of energy.

So All Baimu pointed out a clear path for him last time, and gave him some motivation this time; although suppressive teaching methods are undesirable, they are very suitable for self-strengthening teenagers like Kiawe.

Why help Kiawe?

First, All Baimu is preparing to be a teacher, and he wants to know if Kiawe can grow rapidly under his interference, so he can make lesson plans in the future.

Second, to return the favor of the family bucket of ice cream.

He doesn't have the habit of eating other people's things for nothing.

Evening time.

All Baimu declined the dinner invitation from Kiawe's family; he took the three big buckets of Moomoo Milk and many dairy products sent by Kiawe's father, rode on Hydreigon, and returned to Melemele Island.

When he arrived, the sky was already completely dark.

The bright moon cast silver radiance.

"Good job, cargo dragon."

He unloaded the Moomoo Milk and patted Hydreigon's head.

"Shashan~!"

Hydreigon let out a snorting sound; this long-distance flight today really made it feel great; those small scuffles before were really meaningless.

Dinner was dairy products from Kiawe's family accompanied by other food.

"Hmm..."

All Baimu chewed the sweet cheese, feeling that if he were to open a restaurant in the future, all dairy products must be ordered from Kiawe's family.

The quality is really good.

The next day, Gladion came to the door again.

He was no longer in the dejected state he was in when he left yesterday, and it seemed he had experienced something that restored his mindset.

All Baimu asked out of curiosity.

Gladion said: "I met an acquaintance yesterday and had a battle with him using Silvally, and I won."

An acquaintance...

You don't have to guess to know it was Ash.

Did he lose the street battle again?
