Chapter 880: No Return!
After the cold night.
Every household opened their doors to clear the knee-deep snow.
Last night's blizzard was abnormally fierce, and the phone received extreme weather warnings several times.
It once made All Baimu think that Glastrier had discovered Calyrex and specifically rolled in a blizzard to come.
But unfortunately, it wasn't that coincidental.
Porygon2 specifically dispatched clones to go out and scout through the blizzard several times. Except for a few Swablu that couldn't return to their nests in time and were shivering under the eaves, it didn't even see a ghost.
Unless it was in Freezington.
Just happen to go over and take a look in a while.
"Be smarter next time! Go home early when it gets dark!"
He released the Swablu he had taken in, and these cute little creatures circled a few times, chirping joyfully.
Pokémon also have the possibility of freezing to death, especially the blizzard climate last night, which was no different from a terrible disaster for these wild Pokémon.
Fortunately, they were lucky.
They were discovered by Porygon2 and forcibly abducted before they could freeze for long. They panicked for a while at first, but soon curled up by the fireplace and didn't move.
The warm fire made them fall into a dreamland quickly, and they slept until dawn.
All Baimu watched the Swablu go away, shook his head, went back to the house to pack his luggage, and seeing that Calyrex wouldn't wake up for a long time and he had nothing to do after breakfast, he led his own Pokémon to help the busy homestay owner shovel snow.
Naturally, there was no lack of frolicking during this time.
For example—
That Shiny Gengar used a good staff technique, the staff momentum sweeping like a wild wind and falling leaves, sweeping and chopping, causing a round of applause (scolding)!
And saw the three-headed and six-winged ones baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, spitting fire from one mouth, lightning from another, burning ten thousand miles with three tubes, making the vast land clear!
There was even a silver giant beast rushing around, its voice like a bell and its spirit like a dragon, suppressing the world for an age, feared by everyone!
"I can see it now, you all have unique skills!"
All Baimu, who was almost swallowed by the snow, sighed.
Fortunately, Blissey knew how to cherish people, picked up a small shovel and dug him out of the snow, and lent the small shovel to him, taking it to wake up those who were as deep in sleep as their hearts.
Bang!
"Gengar!"
Bang!
"Sha-sang!"
Bang~!
"Hong~"
He looked at the Steelix with very little reaction, shook his slightly numb hand, and thought that the disadvantage of raising large Steel-type Pokémon was right here.
Basically, it's very difficult to rely on oneself to give them appropriate punishment for being naughty, and one must ask Pokémon for help.
"Aggron!"
All Baimu turned his head and shouted, and Steelix's pupils trembled violently, immediately lowering its huge head to make its whole body stick to the ground, showing a submissive posture.
Gengar and Hydreigon, who were pretending to be in pain and squatting in defense, looked at each other and laughed strangely.
Let you not even want to pretend!
All Baimu turned his head back, seeing that this move was as effective as ever, and felt a bit of a sigh for no reason.
It's too sad that he needs to rely on external force to "suppress" Pokémon; when will humans be able to beat the vast majority of Pokémon in the world one-on-one?
So angry.
And to thank him for helping shovel snow, the homestay owner gave him a lot of local specialties—
Two large pieces of hard cheese, a small bag of butter shortbread, and a bottle of whiskey.
Galar's wine culture and tea culture are quite famous, and the Crown Tundra, with its cold climate, almost every household keeps high-proof whiskey, just to drink a cup on a cold night to warm the body.
"Raw material plus one."
All Baimu stuffed the whiskey into Gengar's belly, pulled its cheeks, stretched them to a meter long, and warned strictly: "Wine is in, ghost is in; wine is out, you know?"
"Gen~"
Gengar saluted vaguely, indicating that the organization should rest assured, it would definitely complete the task.
Only then was it let go.
Wrapping the drowsy Calyrex in a blanket and stuffing it into the motorcycle sidecar, All Baimu was about to twist the throttle when a chirping sound suddenly came from above his head.
He looked up and saw the wild Swablu from last night bringing their thank-you gifts.
Plump pine cones, dried mushrooms, and dried fruits and vegetables.
"Chirp! Chirp chirp~"
Whether they were landing on the handlebars or circling above his head, the crisp chirping revealed a quite human-like enthusiasm.
Reasonably speaking.
All Baimu hadn't saved wild Pokémon many times, but the chances of receiving thank-you gifts were not many.
Face-to-face thanks had never happened before; most wild Pokémon would only quietly leave something by his side, and he wouldn't even see it if he didn't pay attention.
"Thank you."
He smiled and touched the Swablu's head, habitually took out Pokéblocks from his pocket to feed it and the ones in the sky, accepted their gifts, and then said goodbye.
The wild Swablu landed on the branches covered with white snow, singing him off with a soft and melodious tune.
Until the hoverbike disappeared at the end of the road.
——
Freezington.
Glastrier did not appear as All Baimu had guessed.
This made him slightly disappointed.
"My beloved subject... why did you come here again?"
Calyrex, who didn't know when it had been frozen awake by the cold wind, looked around helplessly, and when it saw the simple, incomplete statue in the center of the village, its expression became even more complicated.
All Baimu said: "I think last night's heavy snow was a bit abnormal, thinking that Glastrier sensed Your Majesty's return and might come to Freezington to find you."
"Ah, would it?"
Calyrex turned its head in astonishment.
He stopped the car and replied: "Your Majesty should have often been active in this territory with your beloved steed in the past, right? Did I guess wrong?"
Calyrex: "It's not wrong..."
It was just a little uneasy about the environment, but with the shallow believer by its side, sensing the faith that had never wavered, it slowly calmed down.
Ten thousand years of replacement.
It had indeed lost its powerful strength, and the possibility of being sealed again was so small that it was almost non-existent.
The shallow believer was still counting on grace, so he would definitely not abandon it!
Calyrex reached out its little hand to hold All Baimu's clothes, and its courage gradually returned.
It said: "My beloved subject, are we going to lure my beloved steed to appear here?"
"Of course not, I plan to go to the Crown Shrine, to your former palace to wait for the rabbit, thinking that the steeds that miss you won't be too far from the shrine, what does Your Majesty think?"
All Baimu asked softly.
You've already planned it all out!
Veins popped out on Calyrex's forehead; it discovered again the disrespect of the shallow believer towards it—
He made such an important decision himself, without consulting it at all!
But the situation was stronger than the person.
Calyrex, who had no family status, said with a bit of grievance: "Just follow what my beloved subject says—"
Before it could finish speaking.
It suddenly looked at a coniferous forest covered in white snow outside the village, its pupils shrinking to the size of needle tips.
"It's here!"
Here?
Glastrier?
It actually really came!
All Baimu's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and seeing Calyrex floating up involuntarily, he hurriedly pressed it back into the sidecar, saying hurriedly: "Can't let it come into the village to cause destruction! Let's fight outside!"
Calyrex, who was pressed back into position, was about to express dissatisfaction, when it saw its beloved subject rushing towards the forest with great excitement.
What are you excited about?
Calyrex looked at him dumbfounded, a hint of ominous premonition appearing in its heart.
Rumble!!
The engine roared.
The hoverbike rushed out of the village like a street-racing car, passing by a few brats who had come out to watch when they heard the sound, facing the biting cold fog that had risen in the forest at some point.
All Baimu rushed into the fog, put on the pre-prepared goggles, and raised his hand to open the Poké Ball.
Bang!
"Defog!"
"Sha-sang!"
Hydreigon flapped its six wide wings quickly, and the airtight cold fog around it was swept away in an instant, and the horse it had been thinking about also appeared on a distant ridge.
"Hee-ruru—"
Glastrier, whose body shone with dazzling light in the sun, raised its front hooves high, letting out a neigh that made the eardrums tremble.
Calyrex floated up excitedly, shouting:
"My beloved steed! Do you still recognize me?"
"Neigh?"
Glastrier tilted its head, as if distinguishing something.
Seeing this, All Baimu got off the car immediately, ordered Gengar to put away the motorcycle, and jumped onto Hydreigon's back himself, looking cautiously at the spirited white horse.
Its body couldn't see soft long manes, only sharp spines formed by cold ice connected to its skull ice shell.
Its four hooves were wrapped in ice crystals, and cold fog was everywhere under its feet.
Wild Horse Pokémon, Glastrier.
It wasn't hard to see from its classification just how bad this guy's temper was; legends also called it rough, arrogant, and very warlike.
Therefore, the possibility of Calyrex subduing Glastrier through language...
Equals zero.
"Neigh!!"
Glastrier suddenly neighed, and in Calyrex's extremely disappointed expression, ice cones like long spears condensed around its body.
The next moment.
The ice cones tore through the air and whistled over!
But undoubtedly, this kind of move with an obvious attack path was hard to hit Hydreigon, which was well-prepared, and All Baimu on its back also pulled Calyrex away early, like pulling a huge pillow.
"Sha-sang!"
"There's a time for you to appear, be a supporting role this time."
All Baimu refused Hydreigon's attack permission and released the real protagonist scheduled for this battle.
Bang!
"Hong!"
The giant Steelix landed, and its tail swung casually, causing a bare birch tree to creak and tilt, shaking up a lot of snow.
Glastrier seemed very surprised by Steelix's size, but rushed down from the ridge fearlessly!
Warlike and brave!
Worthy of being a Wild Horse Pokémon!
All Baimu pulled out the Keystone from his arms and shouted: "Mega Evolution—Iron Defense!"
"Hong!!"
Under the shroud of colorful light, Steelix faced the rushing Glastrier, facing the snowflakes raised behind it, and met it with its hardest head.
Dong!!
The blizzard surged from Glastrier's feet like a tide, continuously impacting Steelix, but failed to shake it in the slightest.
The destructive power that the move 【Avalanche】 could cause when the additional effect was not achieved was nothing more than that.
The colorful light dimmed.
Mega Steelix, whose size had expanded by several circles compared to just now, looked down at Glastrier, its light blue pupils shining brightly.
White horse?
Hmph! I'll definitely make it have no return!
"Body Press!"
"Hong!"
Mega Steelix jumped up suddenly in a very unscientific posture, its whole body surrounded by brilliant brownish-yellow radiance, roaring and rushing towards Glastrier, which was stepping back and galloping!
Rumble!
The air exploded as if squeezed, followed by a sky-shaking loud noise!
Bang!!
White snow soared into the sky! Large trees fell!
The noisy sound caused the villagers of Freezington to look out from the forest, but anyone who wanted to enter it was blocked by Porygon2 clones specifically hiding here.
They looked at the content displayed by Porygon2 on the wooden board—【There are trainers capturing powerful wild Pokémon ahead, please do not enter to prevent accidental injury.】
"Powerful wild Pokémon? Are there any nearby?"
"With such a big movement, it can't be illegal logging!"
"It must be big brother!"
The brats of Freezington explained excitedly to the adults, and when they heard the unfamiliar name Calyrex, almost no one could think of what kind of Pokémon this was.
Only the old village chief adjusted his glasses and said: "The legend is actually true..."
His ancestors once inherited an important skill, but with the passage of time, several generations of incompetent heads of the family appeared in the middle, and it was completely forgotten.
Thinking back now, it seemed his grandfather had said that the thing his ancestors regretted most was not learning and passing on that skill well.
Inside the snow forest.
Mega Steelix chased the Glastrier that was galloping forward, occasionally giving it a sky-shaking Body Press, but except for smashing a large number of trees, it failed to catch it.
Apparently, Glastrier was both warlike and good at fighting.
It knew very well that there were some moves it absolutely couldn't resist, so it relied on the terrain advantage and its four-legged running advantage, while condensing 【Icicle Crash】 to shoot, while continuously pulling Mega Steelix.
Attempting to consume its physical strength by relying on a tug-of-war, so as to launch a fatal blow at a critical moment!
"30 speed? Tsk tsk."
All Baimu looked at Glastrier, which was flexible in the dense forest, and clicked his tongue.
Reasonably speaking, the terrain most advantageous to creatures like horses is the plains; there are too many obstacles in the forest, and it is easy to trip on horse hooves.
Glastrier didn't have this worry.
Any raised tree roots would only be trampled into wood chips under its feet, and even stones were the same.
The tough body allowed it to ignore all obstacles in the dense forest.
If Mega Steelix didn't have his command, it might really be at a disadvantage in front of this smart horse, but unfortunately...
"Don't give it a chance to change course!"
All Baimu shouted.
Mega Steelix roared, and countless gravel condensed into stone blades around it, flying towards Glastrier, which was trying to turn!
Dong dong dong!
"Neigh!"
Glastrier neighed.
Although it was relatively familiar with the nearby terrain, in front of All Baimu, who had mastered the specific map through Porygon2, it could still only obediently run in the predetermined direction, without the ability to run at will.
Calyrex stared silently at the running Glastrier, as if an outsider.
Before long.
Glastrier's speed of galloping forward began to drop, because the dense forest at the end was gone, replaced by a towering cliff.
It had been driven to the designated position by All Baimu and Mega Steelix, and there was no retreat.
"Hee-ruru—"
Glastrier suddenly drifted, its body turned 180 degrees, stopped its steps before it was about to fall off the cliff, and looked at Mega Steelix and All Baimu who were chasing after it.
Both sides were in a stalemate.
But its eyes were full of high fighting spirit, without the slightest despair of being forced into a "dead end."
The next instant.
Glastrier ran forward, as if to launch a final charge, but All Baimu understood this guy's plan through its actions.
"It's a hit! This guy is going to jump off the cliff! Magnet Rise!"
Just as he thought, Glastrier, which had rushed halfway, turned its direction again and jumped off the cliff sideways!
"Hong!"
Mega Steelix roared and followed.
Where did it know that when falling, Glastrier's four hooves suddenly surged with violent freezing air, forming an ice path in the air extending to the distance, allowing it to continue running.
It turned its head, neighed and mocked Mega Steelix, which was about to fall, preparing to take the opportunity to give it a hit.
Until Mega Steelix flew up out of thin air, sneering and pouncing.
"Neigh?"
Glastrier tilted its head blankly. ===== CHAPTER 881 =====
