Chapter 1040

On the lawn.

The gold nugget, mottled, uneven, and full of pores, but barely able to maintain a circular shape, rolled over, reflecting a moving halo in the sun.

What a huge piece of gold!

All Baimu was stunned, Arven who rushed over was stunned, and a group of Pokémon who thought they were going to turn against each other also had ambiguous expressions.

"Da si!"

The Titan Tatsugiri was very satisfied with their performance, carrying the bright sun with both fins raised, its head slightly raised and its expression intoxicated, as if on a pilgrimage.

Tremble! Mortals!

This is the strength of this king!

All Baimu couldn't believe it: "Is this real gold?"

Porygon2 immediately leaned over, its eyes scanning like X-rays, and said in a heavy tone: "It's gold alright! Natural gold!"

He bent down to pick it up; the gold, only a few sizes smaller than a human head, was unexpectedly heavy, probably at least several tens of kilograms!

The curious Arven tried to take it over and almost sprained his waist.

"So heavy!"

Although it may not be pure gold, this natural human-head gold might be more valuable than ordinary gold!

Even if it is 24K gold, based on All Baimu's understanding of gold prices in the Pokémon world, more than 5,000 Poké Dollars per gram, just calculating by the rough weight...

Over 100 million!?

"What a sky-high tip!" All Baimu looked at the Titan Tatsugiri, his eyes full of tenderness.

Although he is not short of money at this stage, he will definitely be short of it when building a school in the future.

The Titan Tatsugiri took out 500 million; who can handle it?

And since it can take out human-head gold, it means that there must be a natural gold mine somewhere in Casseroya Lake!

If this is deeply mined, will there be a shortage of money in the future?

At this thought.

All Baimu couldn't help but be eager to move, and asked:

"Where did you get this thing?"

"Da si?"

The proud Titan Tatsugiri heard this and immediately warned that the treasure belonged to it; how could it be told at will?

Although gold is useless to it, it doesn't like collecting shiny things like bird Pokémon such as Murkrow, nor does it like taking minerals like Ground-type and Rock-type Pokémon.

But Casseroya Lake is its territory, and everything on the territory is its!

All Baimu, who was rejected, subconsciously wanted to shake his Pokémon to take action and force the Titan Tatsugiri to tell him.

But when he turned his head and saw Arven, who was innocently studying the human-head gold, and looked around at the lazy Tatsugiri, as well as the honest-looking Dondozo on the shore, the greed in his heart slowly converged.

Hmm.

Doing so would be a bit too much.

Taking a hundred Herba Mystica can be explained by the harvest of challenging the Titan Pokémon, and at that time both sides were hostile. Now that the relationship is so harmonious, turning against each other for a gold mine...

Wealth moves people's hearts.

He sighed and said to the Titan Tatsugiri: "I won't take yours for nothing; can we trade?"

Thinking back to when he first traveled in the Hoenn region, he was also short of money; it was the Leaf Stone harvested from the forest and the gems exchanged with Sableye that solved his urgent needs.

If you want it, trade it.

"Da si?"

The Titan Tatsugiri raised its eyebrows and looked at him, only feeling that this human was thinking about some conspiracy again.

Immediately.

Box after box of rainbow-colored Pokéblocks were placed in front of it.

They emitted a faint light, and as soon as they appeared, they attracted the Titan Tatsugiri's attention, making its eyes shine like stars.

"Da si..."

Excellent rainbow Pokéblocks - Herba Mystica recipe version!

The power of food in the Paldea region is really extraordinary; even Pokéblocks can be affected, and All Baimu was also very shocked when he first made them.

Arven was also attracted and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This is a hard candy made from different berries, plants, and some seasonings; don't look at its small size, one is enough for a Pokémon to be full."

All Baimu took one out and handed it to him to study, "And this thing can shape the body of a Pokémon, making them healthier while making their appearance more beautiful, strong, cute, etc."

Arven was like getting a treasure and wanted to take it to try for Mabosstiff.

He believed All Baimu wouldn't lie to him.

But Mabosstiff was already full and resting, so he would wait until tomorrow.

All Baimu saw the Titan Tatsugiri's eyes locked and felt relieved.

He didn't have many things in his pocket that could attract wild Pokémon; if Pokéblocks were useless, he didn't know how many things he would have to take out.

"One box for one lump, how about it?"

All Baimu set the price with a thick face and a black heart.

The cunning Titan Tatsugiri understood his intention and immediately bargained—give one more lump for this pile!

"No, one price, if you want to trade, trade, if not, forget it!"

He waved his hand firmly.

The Titan Tatsugiri was also firm; as cunning as it was, it knew that since this human opened his mouth, he must want it very much.

It didn't understand bargaining, but it was full now and could hold its breath!

Hmph hmph hmph!

The Titan Tatsugiri was very proud, but it didn't take long for it to be dumbfounded.

All Baimu opened one of the boxes and distributed the Pokéblocks inside to many wild Pokémon that didn't dare or didn't have time to join the banquet.

"I'll tell you first, I only have so many of these; if you don't want them, I'll give them all to them."

He took the opportunity to touch a Vaporeon's head and told the Titan Tatsugiri calmly.

And the wild Pokémon noticed the gaze cast by the Titan Tatsugiri and stuffed them into their mouths one after another, preventing them from being snatched away later.

The Titan Tatsugiri might not really be the King of Casseroya Lake, but indeed many Pokémon surrendered to its power.

"Da si! Da si!"

It was anxious.

These were all its treasures!

So ruthless! So poisonous! Your heart is more poisonous than Swalot, and you are darker than Murkrow!

The Titan Tatsugiri was a thousand times resentful, just because it really wanted them.

Even though its stomach was bulging, it was still attracted by the shining Pokéblocks, wishing it could take them as its own on the spot.

How could it know that it couldn't beat the human in front of it, so it had to suppress the idea of robbing, but it didn't expect the other party's methods to be so absolute!

"Da si! Da si!"

The Titan Tatsugiri rushed toward All Baimu and grabbed his arm to stop him from continuing to "scatter wealth."

All Baimu felt relieved and smiled: "Trade or not?"

"Da si!"

The Titan Tatsugiri nodded wildly.

So.

A trade that both sides were very satisfied with began.

In Arven's incredible eyes, the Titan Dondozo brought twenty-one pieces of gold of various sizes.

"Doing business is still profitable."

All Baimu rubbed his hands excitedly and generously handed Arven a piece of gold the size of a thumb, "Come, everyone has a share."

"No no no, I can't take it!"

Arven waved his hand in a panic, refusing to accept it no matter how he was persuaded. He hadn't repaid All Baimu yet, so how could he dare to accept such a valuable gift?

Seeing that he really didn't want it.

All Baimu put it away happily; these are all classrooms, floor tiles, and chandeliers in the future!

"Not a wasted trip! Not a wasted trip!"

He looked at the Titan Tatsugiri, and the two laughed loudly.

Just now, the Titan Tatsugiri drove away its brothers who came to hear the news and threw all the Pokéblocks into the mouth of the Titan Dondozo.

It trusted Dondozo, so it put it in the safest place.

A moment later.

Taking advantage of the bright sunshine.

All Baimu and Arven cleaned up the camp and announced to their Pokémon domineeringly: "I'm going to make a gold ornament for each of you!"

The combat-type Pokémon like Aggron were not interested, and many Pokémon who only cared about gifts and not what they were didn't care much.

Mawile and Shiny Gengar were looking forward to it.

The former wanted a gold hairpin, and the latter wanted to inlay its entire set of teeth with gold paint; this kind of work must be rare in the world!

"You..."

All Baimu looked at the gray fat man who was full of expectations and only felt that he was crazy.

"Gengar..."

The gray fat man shyly poked his fat claws, looking a bit embarrassed.

"That's fine!"

He agreed cruelly.

Anyway, it's not replacing all the teeth, just painting a layer of gold paint on the surface; if you don't like it, you can find a way to take it off.

Gengar happily drilled into the shadow.

——

The main road to Glaseado Mountain.

Arven and All Baimu parted ways; he was going to East Province (Area Three) to find the last Titan Pokémon.

Before leaving.

He got a jar of regular-version excellent rainbow Pokéblocks.

"Before giving it to Pokémon, you can apply some Herba Mystica on the surface; the effect should be about the same."

All Baimu whispered: "I'll find you after I solve Team Star and finish the Terastal training; don't be too impulsive, be calm when encountering big things..."

The five seasonings were about to be collected, and Arven might be in a hurry, trying to challenge the Titan Pokémon himself.

What if something goes wrong?

Arven was very moved; no one had cared about him for a long time.

"Don't worry! I will definitely wait for you!"

He smiled and patted All Baimu's arm; he was no longer the awkward and troubled look he had before.

Near vermilion, red.

As Mabosstiff's physical state gradually recovered, he also learned a bit of openness from All Baimu.

"Goodbye! My friend!"

Arven walked toward the path, turned around suddenly after not walking far, and waved brightly.

The wind blew his hair, full of the spirit of a teenager.

All Baimu watched him disappear at the end of the road, looked at the towering snow-capped mountain, and began to change his equipment.

He had climbed Mount Lanakila in the Alola region before, and suffered a lot because he didn't change into professional snow boots; he naturally couldn't suffer the same loss a second time.

Hydreigon also needs some warm equipment.

Its body hair is not enough to allow it to move freely on the snow mountain.

"Cold?"

All Baimu stroked its head.

Hydreigon shook its head, "Sha sang~"

"Okay, let's go!"

He waved, and the man and dragon headed toward the Glaseado Gym.

Halfway up the mountain.

There were more wild Pokémon living nearby, Snover, Cryogonal, etc.

What is worth noting are a few round, milky-white little whales.

Even though they were bigger than many people, they inexplicably had a few elements of cuteness.

"Cetoddle?"

All Baimu retracted his gaze.

It is said that in the Paldea region, riding Cetoddle to ski is a very common sport.

But when you encounter Cetoddle in the wild, it is best to stay away.

Because Cetoddle are basically group-active Pokémon; when you see them, their parents usually see you too.

If you don't want to be chased by monsters similar in size to Wailord, it is best not to provoke them.

All Baimu didn't have the habit of tossing himself; he was ready to rent a Cetoddle from the ski resort to play after arriving at the Glaseado Gym.

However.

Sometimes it's a bit awkward—

You don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you.

When he and Hydreigon were preparing to detour, perhaps Hydreigon's aura was too terrible and was considered a threat; or perhaps they stayed too long when changing roads.

The nanny hiding in the dark... was angry!

Boom!

In an instant, white snow rushed into the sky!

The terrifying giant beast broke through the snow and rushed toward All Baimu and Hydreigon!

"Oooo—"

The long roar seemed to trigger an avalanche, shaking the world.

Hydreigon didn't retreat but advanced, roaring and rushing toward Cetitan!

The two sides collided!

Boom!

In the loud noise of flesh hitting flesh, Cetitan was knocked back, but soon rushed over fiercely again!

This time it lowered the three sharp horns on its front, intending to use them to fight the enemy.

But Hydreigon is not stupid.

It flapped its wings and flew back, opened its mouth to bite All Baimu's collar, and immediately flew into the sky.

"Sha sang!!"

The remaining two mouths roared loudly, and torrential flames brewed in them!

At this time.

All Baimu raised his hand and said: "No need, let's go."

He looked at the worried and trembling Cetoddle not far away, and said to the gasping Cetitan: "We didn't intend to do anything to your children; you are too sensitive, don't worry! We are leaving now!"

If it were just Cetitan alone, the fight would have been fought.

But the Cetoddle were there, so forget it.

Female Pokémon guarding their young are more sensitive, which is understandable, and the environment of Glaseado Mountain is special, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't want to cause extra trouble.

Hydreigon extinguished the flames when it heard this.

"Sha sang!"

It hissed at the Cetitan that was blowing cold wind, took All Baimu and dodged its Powder Snow, and flew toward the high place.

Cetitan was ready for a fierce battle.

Who knew the other party would just leave, so it couldn't help but look up, and some strange colors appeared in its pink eyes.

——

Glaseado Gym.

Because All Baimu no longer chose to walk and watch the scenery, he flew up directly on Hydreigon, and the journey was much shorter.

"Nemona... is she in Montenevera?"

He looked at his phone; Nemona's reply indicated that she lived in Montenevera and would be here soon.

Wait a while.

All Baimu stood at the entrance of the gym and looked into the distance at the ski resort.

In addition to many people skiing with single boards and double boards, there were also many people skiing with Cetoddle.

"Sha sang?"

Hydreigon saw the trainer staring at the manned Cetoddle and immediately understood that he was not holding back any good farts, opened its big mouth and bit his hand, "Sha sang~"

All Baimu turned his head to look at it, looking aggrieved: "We finally came to Glaseado Mountain; maybe there will be no chance in the future. Do you really want me to go back with regrets? You are so cruel!"

"Sha..."

Hydreigon was stupid; this set of combos hit it so hard that it couldn't breathe.

What a despicable trainer!

Its sourness was reduced, and looking at the "pretentious" All Baimu, it felt the same feeling as All Baimu for the first time.

"Sha, sha sang..."

Hydreigon sighed helplessly.

How can it defeat a trainer who doesn't play by the rules?

All Baimu saw this, smiled and kissed it, "I knew you were the most sensible!"

"Sha sang~"

Hydreigon was in a great mood.

The man and dragon came to the ski resort management office and rented a Cetoddle from the staff.

The other party was very lively and bold; facing Hydreigon, it was not afraid, and even dared to circle around it, and then tried to stick out its tongue to lick it.

All Baimu valued this point, so he chose it from a pile of trembling Cetoddle.

Just about to get on the whale and start skiing.

Nemona's figure appeared outside the ski resort, waving and shouting: "All Baimu! I'm here!"
