Chapter 1094

"Shut up, both of you, back into your Poké Balls!"

All Baimu's handling method was simple and crude.

Of course, truly solving the problem would have to wait until he had time; he didn't have time to reverse the relationship between the two Pokémon right now.

Meowth and Miraidon looked at each other, both extremely glad that they hadn't joined the battle.

And after Blissey high-fived the Trainer, it also rushed into the woods to find Munkidori.

It rarely defeated an opponent in such a direct sense; usually, it was more often about inflicting Toxic and waiting for the opponent to slowly faint.

Blissey believed this was a kind of mercy.

Actually……

It can only be said that Blissey's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, otherwise it wouldn't have developed a "psychological barrier" that prevented it from attacking.

Okidogi, who had recovered most of its strength, was attacking Miraidon's sandwich; noticing this strange big lizard staring at its…… food in hand, it friendly broke off half and handed it over.

"Woof!"

"Gao~"

Miraidon refused with its electronic eyes, but its honestly opened mouth was full of desire, and it carefully stretched its head……

Munch munch~ The taste is great!

Miraidon, who swallowed it directly when the Trainer wasn't paying attention, was full of happiness.

All Baimu, who pretended not to see, shook his head; although the sandwich was indeed "drugged," the number of Pokémon that were still craving it to this extent after so many days was few and far between.

The key is that it only craves sandwiches and has no interest in anything else.

Before long.

Blissey and Fezandipiti brought back Munkidori, who was covered in branches and fallen leaves.

"Gee……"

It looked a bit depressed.

It's fine that Okidogi couldn't beat Hydreigon, but it couldn't beat the pink and tender Blissey?

Hundreds of years lived in vain!

Seeing this, All Baimu comforted, "Don't be so disappointed; it's not that you're too weak, it's that I'm too strong. In this era, I should be able to enter the top five, in terms of humans alone."

Top five?

The Loyal Three looked at each other, feeling that he was strong but not that strong.

Okidogi was very curious if he could reach number one.

"Let's see at the end of this year; top five is a conservative estimate. The world is so big, there are still many capable people."

All Baimu looked at them and said, "Since the fight is over, let's talk about business. What are your plans next?

"Continue to be honored guests in Kitakami Village and eat offerings? Sleep in the sculptures? Go on a long journey to find Pecharunt?"

Okidogi raised its giant arms, "Woof!"

"Please speak."

"Woof~ awoo woof~!"

"It says it wants to ask you to help them find Pecharunt." Poryphone translated in real-time.

Munkidori and Fezandipiti nodded wildly.

The impact of the changing times on them was too great; just now, from the moment they came out of the Pokémon Center, the scenery they saw along the way made them exceptionally confused.

Is this still Kitakami Village?

Locked in Poké Balls for too long, they had almost forgotten what the previous Kitakami Village looked like.

"……That's fine too."

All Baimu deliberated for a moment and found that he was also very curious about Pecharunt's whereabouts, so he agreed.

Returning to the Pokémon Center.

Nurse Joy brought news——the Poké Ball repair failed.

The wear was too severe, the sphere was also somewhat deformed, and many components inside were oxidized and corroded to an exaggerated degree.

It was as if it had experienced hundreds of years of time.

But the number scanned by the computer clearly showed the production date was not long ago……

Strange, strange.

Nurse Joy gave All Baimu three brand-new Poké Balls, and tried to restore the old broken balls to their original appearance as much as possible, handing them to him together.

All Baimu: "Thank you!"

"Good luck on your journey! Champion!"

Nurse Joy said with a smile.

Even in the countryside, the internet is still very developed, and a proper Nurse Joy naturally recognizes the few regional Champions in the world.

After going out.

Facing the three Poké Balls revealed by All Baimu, the Loyal Three were slightly resistant.

They had been locked up for decades, and they had only been out for a short time before having to go back in……

"Don't worry, I'm here this time, you'll be able to come out again very soon." All Baimu signaled the three to be at ease.

Given that although he was hateful, he was at least very reliable.

The Loyal Three obediently prepared to move into their new homes.

At this moment.

All Baimu suddenly put the Poké Balls away, "Wait, since I'm changing balls anyway, I might as well change to some better-looking ones!"

He asked Gengar to take out his collection.

And the Loyal Three looked at the dazzling array of balls on the ground, quite amazed.

"Awoo……"

Okidogi finished choosing first; it picked the Dusk Ball, which had a color scheme similar to its own, black and green.

Munkidori was very interested in the Timer Ball, but after careful consideration, chose the Cherish Ball.

White, a simple color, made its heart peaceful.

Fezandipiti was conflicted; it wanted the Love Ball, Heal Ball, and Moon Ball, and also wanted the Repeat Ball; it liked the ring on top.

Seeing that it hadn't chosen after a long time, and Munkidori and Okidogi had already entered their balls, All Baimu said, "Do you have indecisiveness?"

"Goo……"

Fezandipiti shamefully raised its wings to cover its face.

Its posture was very much like a dancer, and its attire was also very similar, but like the other two Loyal Three, it was male.

All Baimu then said, "If you can't choose, then don't; just live in each ball for a while."

"Goo?"

Fezandipiti was very disappointed when it heard the first half, thinking All Baimu was impatient, but only after hearing the second half did it know he was giving them all to it!

So, so gentle!

It felt its heart being poked.

It was often bullied when it was very ugly before, which made it crave becoming beautiful and being welcomed.

After Pecharunt gave it power, it did become beautiful and mastered the ability to make others infatuated. Fezandipiti was satisfied at first, but soon it felt that others only valued its appearance, and it became a bit tired of it.

Is there anyone who likes its soul?

Fezandipiti now longed to find such an existence.

And although All Baimu was a bit hateful, he had the same attitude whether it was good-looking or ugly, but Fezandipiti believed that this behavior of ignoring its appearance and treating it gently belonged to treating everyone equally!

"Goo~"

Fezandipiti's eyes were watery, and it couldn't help but flap its wings to release pheromones.

All Baimu smelled the sweet scent in the air, immediately asked Alolan Meowth to cover its nose, and looked at this chicken with some speechlessness, "I know you're excited, but don't be excited yet, go into the ball obediently."

"Goo~"

Fezandipiti went in obediently.

Its attitude was even better than when they first met.

Blissey saw it in its eyes and was very clear that the Trainer had captured another Pokémon.

"Happy~"

If Hydreigon were still here, it would probably be very angry.

Blissey is different.

It thinks the Trainer is amazing! It is especially proud of the situation where he is popular!

Miraidon flew back, Scream Tail's position was replaced by Blissey, and Alolan Meowth was able to sit on its head——

Scream Tail wouldn't let Meowth sit on its head.

——

Kitakami Village.

The news that the Loyal Three statues were destroyed soon reached the ears of every townsperson.

"Isn't it unlucky?"

"What are you saying! The Loyal Three statues are broken, which means they want to come out and play!"

"How could there be Pokémon inside the statues, they aren't Ghost-types, Grandpa is really superstitious!"

"It's probably someone who destroyed them, right?"

The townspeople gathered in groups of three or five, surrounding the broken statues on the cart.

The administrator narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man beside the cart, "Isao, did it really break by itself?"

"Do you mean I broke it?"

The old man said unceremoniously.

The administrator said helplessly, "I didn't mean that…… You're really old, and your temper is still so heavy."

"Anyway, don't worry about how it broke; think of a way to stick it back together or rebuild it!"

The old man didn't mention All Baimu's existence at all, and the few students outside the crowd who wanted to take the initiative to admit their mistakes also breathed a sigh of relief.

Kieran and Carmine arrived late, saw their figures, and said strangely, "You guys aren't going to collect stamps, what are you joining in the fun here for!"

"Ah? Oh, oh!"

The students ran away with a guilty conscience.

Carmine said unhappily, "Sneaky! The statues might have been broken by them!"

"Sister……"

Kieran was a bit speechless at his own sister who slandered others casually.

However.

He was also very concerned about the reason for the statues breaking, squeezed through the crowd, saw only three statues, and asked, "Ogerpon's statue didn't break?"

"Yes, Ogerpon's statue is intact." The old man named Isao nodded.

Kieran felt quite disappointed.

Regarding the legends of his hometown, he had two yearnings——

Yearning for Ogerpon, who could turn the tide of the battle single-handedly after all its companions were controlled by the enemy; and yearning for Pecharunt, who was lonely but could make everyone its partner.

Strength and friends.

The boy's longing was very simple.

Unfortunately, legends are legends after all; even though he had climbed the back mountain in the middle of the night and spent the night in the corner of the shrine many times, he had never seen the figures of Ogerpon and Pecharunt.

He felt lost about this.

Suddenly.

A heavy humming sound came from above the sky.

Kieran looked up and saw a strange blue-purple Pokémon streak across the sky, leaving a straight white line behind it.

What Pokémon is that? Why does it feel like I've never seen it before?

Seeing it head straight for the shrine, Kieran squeezed through the crowd and chased after it on a whim.

"Kieran! Where are you going?"

Carmine, who also discovered the strange Pokémon, asked.

Kieran didn't answer, just stared at the Pokémon in the sky.

Carmine said angrily, "Sister is talking to you! No manners at all!"

Then she hurriedly chased after Kieran's footsteps, and the two headed straight for the shrine under the back mountain outside the green town.

Although it is the fixed venue for the annual 【Mask Festival】, it is usually very empty and quiet, and everyone who comes here is infected by the atmosphere and unconsciously lowers their volume.

When the siblings ran near the shrine, the strange Pokémon had already landed, and the familiar back was gazing at the Arceus statue in the center of the shrine.

When he was a child, Kieran was also very strange about why there was an Arceus statue in Kitakami Village.

Grandpa told him that this was to commemorate the Masked Messengers.

Legend has it that they were people sent by Arceus after foreseeing that Kitakami Village was about to face a crisis.

So after the crisis was resolved, they left.

Their ancestors had been guided and cared for by the Masked Messengers and successfully embarked on the path of a Trainer.

Kieran was young then and listened in a daze.

"Champion——"

He stepped forward.

All Baimu's memory was interrupted; he turned his head to see Kieran and smiled, "It's you, sorry, I almost forgot our agreement. However, my Terastal Orb just finished battling someone and hasn't had time to recharge."

"Use mine!"

Carmine threw her Terastal Orb without hesitation.

All Baimu caught it nimbly, looked at this sharp-spirited little girl, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten our agreement either."

The siblings were quite similar to Perrin in terms of battling, both very active.

Kieran said embarrassedly, "I, I'm not here to battle you."

"Oh?"

"I saw this Pokémon before……" He looked at Miraidon.

And Miraidon was also observing him, leaned forward and sniffed, suspecting a weak aura……

No!

This kid is not right!

Miraidon keenly raised its head.

It thought it was a weakling similar to Arven, but actually found it wasn't the case.

Greatly disappointed!

Miraidon shook its head.

All Baimu was amused by the series of actions of this big lizard and said, "This is Miraidon, a Pokémon from the Paldea region."

"So that's it, such a special Pokémon, I've never seen it before." Kieran was full of admiration.

Carmine urged, "Start the battle quickly!"

A very willful statement.

But All Baimu knew she had no malice, so he deliberately asked Kieran, "Is your sister usually like this? Fierce."

Kieran scratched his face, "Usually? Seems like……"

"Fierce!"

Carmine was struck by lightning, and sure enough, she became hesitant and reserved.

No girl wants to be labeled with such a negative tag.

All Baimu laughed, "Just kidding, I understand your impatience, let's hurry up and start."

Given the previous lessons.

He took the expectant and shy Kieran to a place far away from the shrine and said, "Come on, let me see your strength."

"……Okay! I definitely won't let the Champion down!"

Kieran gripped the Poké Ball tightly.

The battle began.

All Baimu's choice was still Alolan Meowth.

"Meow!"

Meowth was ready to go.

Miraidon and Blissey cheered for it from behind, especially Blissey, who had experienced the Super Contest, and had a unique way of cheering.

Kieran threw the ball, "Go! Shiftry!"

Bang!

Light flashed.

A Pokémon whose upper body was covered in white fur and looked like a puppet.

Both sides spoke at the same time.

"Fake Out!"

"Fake Out."

Identical commands?

But the Pokémon's reactions were completely different; Meowth chose to take the move in place, while Shiftry rushed forward directly!

Tap!

Its wooden clogs stomped on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it approached Meowth, and the broad leaves slapped down on it!

Meowth leaned back, and the pads of its two claws touched.

Clap clap!

Two invisible impacts vibrated against each other, but they directly canceled each other out, and neither side could take advantage.

Meowth's level was too low, and it didn't have any advantage in speed.

Kieran clenched his fist confidently, "Great! Retreat and use Tailwind!"

"Taunt."

All Baimu's voice was calm.

The steady command made Meowth not feel pressured, and it taunted Shiftry step by step.

It's just that like before, it still couldn't take effect first.

Tailwind blew across Shiftry's body, and orange-red light lit up around it.

【Wind Rider】 ability.

An ability that only a very few Shiftry possess, the effect is to ignore wind-type moves while increasing Attack.

If there is Tailwind, it will also increase Attack.

All Baimu had never heard of this ability before; his intuition told him it should have appeared in the last few generations.

GF, changing Pokémon abilities again!
