Chapter 1141

Grimsley stared into All Baimu's eyes.

"Your technique... have you been to Kanto?"

Kanto!

Once this was said, All Baimu immediately associated it with 【Gambler】, he shook his head and said, "No, I learned it from an old man."

"Old man..."

Grimsley raised his eyebrows, "Can you contact him now?"

All Baimu asked back, "What's wrong? Is there anything strange about this card-playing technique?"

He put on the posture of a layman.

"... Didn't that old man tell you when he taught you? This is not any technique, this is a cheat!"

Grimsley laughed.

Shauntal listened to the content of the two's exchange, not only did she not feel repulsion towards All Baimu, but her eyes brightened slightly.

"So amazing, Champion! Cheat! I remember it was set in the novel "God of Gamblers"! Does it actually exist?"

"Hey hey... Miss Shauntal, you are treating people differently!"

Grimsley turned his head to look at her helplessly.

Cheating originates from gambling, but Shauntal, who was extremely disgusted just now, now worshipped All Baimu.

Clearly both of them have cheating techniques!

Shauntal glanced at him, "Can that be the same?"

Since she wants to write All Baimu's biography, she must have a certain understanding of the Orre region.

Others may not know what Orre was like in the past, how could the Elite Four not find relevant information?

Now that the region has developed to this point, All Baimu, as the soul figure, can be called crucial; no matter how tolerantly he is treated, it is normal.

Looking at Grimsley, his fall belongs to the decline of his family, and it is understandable that he was young and didn't understand things in the past.

But Alder has already brought Grimsley onto the right path, making him the Unova Elite Four; it is a bit unreasonable that he still can't quit gambling in this situation!

He is an Elite Four!

"Sigh..."

A helpless smile appeared on Grimsley's pale face.

He didn't ask All Baimu again, as if it was just a casual mention.

And All Baimu also didn't ask Grimsley if he knew an old man from Kanto; this had already been answered from the moment he raised the initial question.

What is confusing is simply what relationship Grimsley has with the old man.

Grandson?

Unlikely.

The background of the Elite Four is quite transparent on the Internet; it must be known that Grimsley comes from an aristocratic family, a descendant of a famous family.

However, there is a new standing drawing of him wearing a Kanto yukata in Sun and Moon...

All Baimu turned his head to look at Grimsley, and Grimsley happened to turn his head to look at him; the two smiled calmly while looking at each other and nodded to greet each other.

Shauntal saw it in her eyes, the novelist's imagination ran wild!

'Could these two be distant relatives?'

'The hair color is just about the same!'

'No, All Baimu is a descendant of Hoenn Dragon Tamers...'

'Could Grimsley also be a descendant of Dragon Tamers!? No wonder he would actively come to the Village of Dragons!'

Her brain supplement almost finished the ancestors of the two.

Although there were loopholes in it, it did not prevent her from finding inspiration from it, and she giggled happily.

"Hehehe~"

"Shasang..."

Hydreigon silently moved away from this strange woman.

After this interlude, Shauntal didn't denounce Grimsley again, which made the latter breathe a sigh of relief.

They didn't go to find Iris and Iris, but first went to the foothold——

There are no hotels in the Village of Dragons.

The festival has only been open to the public for the past two years, so the three stayed in a homestay.

"The conditions are relatively simple, please don't mind."

The speaker is responsible for the external affairs of the Village of Dragons and is quite familiar with Drayden, so he took on the activity of the Elite Four visiting the Village of Dragons this time.

All Baimu's arrival belongs to an unexpected joy.

As descendants of Dragon Tamers, although they live on different lands, they inevitably have a sense of identity because of their status.

Not to mention the existence of the bridge between Hydreigon and Wu.

Several people thanked them one after another and stepped into their rooms.

The bed was naturally not spacious enough, the width could only sleep one and a half people, causing the Shiny Gengar and Blissey to be forced to stay by the bed.

The big fatty takes up too much space.

"Sorry to trouble you."

All Baimu touched Blissey's round face, and the latter smiled warmly, which could make people feel comfortable from the heart.

The higher the level, the more prominent its temperament.

Even the eggs it raises have extraordinary nutrition, and Shanren often cheekily comes to ask for them.

A Blissey over level seventy is probably the only one in the world, right?

Knock knock~

A crisp knocking sound rang out.

Grimsley stood by the door with his arms crossed and smiled, "Chat?"

"Sure."

All Baimu responded, Gengar's eyeballs turned slightly, and it quietly followed.

——

The afternoon sun was bright.

The gray fatty with white stripes on its face was thinking nervously.

"Gengar..."

"Want it or not? If not, I'm playing cards~"

"Gen!"

"Four Aces! Straight! Ran away!"

Grimsley spread out his empty hands and laughed triumphantly.

Gengar blankly displayed the card A it was holding, "Gengar?"

You have four Aces...

Then what is this of mine?

"Cough cough cough, maybe someone mixed another deck of cards in." Grimsley didn't change his expression and stuck a strip on its face.

Gengar only felt that this scene was familiar.

"Gengar!"

It grabbed Grimsley's hand and, with a speed he couldn't react to, pulled a stack of cards from his sleeve, "Gengar——"

You——cheated!

Rich resentment gradually surged from its body surface.

"Eh? Who stuffed another deck of cards into my sleeve?" Grimsley was also thick-skinned, lying without blushing or panting.

All Baimu, who got fruit from Iris, entered the door and laughed loudly when he saw this scene.

"Gengar~"

Gengar looked at its Trainer resentfully.

Pokémon was bullied by others, and it was fine not to help it take revenge, but he actually laughed at it!

All Baimu said, "I told you you couldn't beat him, and you still wanted to take the cards."

Gengar volunteered to compete with Grimsley; originally, the two human cheaters were fighting each other.

"Gen~gar!"

Gengar was so angry that its cheeks puffed up.

It can be said that it didn't play well, how can it be said that it couldn't beat him!?

Hmph!

Self-esteem hurt! Not playing anymore!

The broken Gengar tore off the white strip, lay on the ground and rolled away, making Grimsley beam with joy.

He said, "Really a cute guy, how did you raise it?"

"Talent. It is a well-known game streamer, focusing on the fact that it can not live, but it cannot have no content."

All Baimu sat cross-legged and gathered the cards.

Grimsley was stunned, "Such strange words, are they popular now?"

"Just saying it casually."

All Baimu said calmly, "So your cheating technique was taught to you by the butler uncle in the past?"

"To be precise, it was stolen from a distant cousin. Although my family is Unova nobility, the blood relationship originally came from Kanto. And that cousin looked exactly like my grandfather."

Grimsley said frankly, "Back then, my grandfather met the cousin and nephew who fled to Driftveil City, took the initiative to recognize them, and accepted them.

"Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away after a few years, and my family gradually declined..."

After Grimsley's grandfather passed away, his father was set up by some people, selling off family property step by step, and later even his grandfather's relics had to be sold.

The gambler couldn't bear to watch, and took the initiative to win back the relics by cheating.

Who would have thought that the technique was stolen by the bystander Grimsley, leading him to follow the same path as his father.

Fortunately, Alder took action in time to save him.

As for why the gambler didn't take action——

"After winning back my grandfather's relics, the butler uncle passed away two years later." Grimsley's expression was slightly melancholy.

It can be seen that he had a deep affection for the gambler.

All Baimu started dealing, saying, "So your family's property is now managed by your cousin?"

"Yes, I rarely go back usually, someone has to take care of the ancestral property won back, right?"

Grimsley picked up his cards, "A speaks."

The two were playing 【Showdown】, not gambling money, just sticking strips.

Grimsley's experience can be considered legendary; his father lost all the family property, along with the ancestral property, leading to the decline of the family.

After the gambler passed away, Grimsley inherited the gambler's cheating technique, and in turn retaliated against those who had set up his father, winning back the ancestral property step by step.

Just as both sides were about to leave the gambling table and start a real-life fight, Alder arrived with the Unova League.

The man from the sky saved the lost teenager!

It's just that Grimsley was too addicted, and he hasn't been able to completely quit gambling to this day; his hands itch if he doesn't gamble for a day.

He can at most manage not to gamble money.

He also feels that it will be meaningless sooner or later if he continues like this, and thus quit gambling.

After all, gambling is about enjoying the thrill of getting rich overnight!

"For me, Pokémon battles are also a kind of gambling. I will also participate in this festival, and I bet on myself to win!"

Grimsley showed a Spades 10, combined with the Spades JQKA already opened, forming a Royal Flush.

All Baimu smiled and threw the cards to surrender, "Then I will wait and see."

His cheating technique is fine for bullying Gengar, but he can't deal with a professional gambler like Grimsley; people's talent is not blown out.

Gengar being able to discover Grimsley's cheating was also a flaw he actively exposed.

After all, the two were playing cards and stealing cards from the second deck, which had nothing to do with cheating or not, simply treating the opponent or themselves as fools.

Grimsley said, "I'm done, let's talk about you, your technique is exactly the same as my uncle's."

"How can it be so exaggerated, and I really learned it from an old man, I don't know him either."

"Don't know him, and he taught you cheating?"

"I stole it."

"..."

Grimsley had an expression of you treating me like a Mankey.

All Baimu said righteously, "Do you think I need to lie? It's not something worth keeping secret, if it were, I wouldn't do it in front of you at all."

"... That's true."

Grimsley smiled.

It was All Baimu who saw his technique first and specifically did a comparison before he discovered it.

So who could the old man be?

A friend of the cousin? A relative of the cousin?

Grimsley didn't think deeply, just felt that compared to the new Champion Iris, the interesting All Baimu was more to his taste.

——

Night.

Wu finally returned to the Village of Dragons.

He also brought a guest, a guest All Baimu felt familiar with.

"Zinnia?"

"Long time no see, All Baimu!"

The wheat-skinned girl smiled, raised her right arm and touched him lightly, "Everyone misses you, Banette and the others too, when are you going back?"

"I'll go after the Village of Dragons festival ends."

All Baimu gave a specific time, then suddenly reacted, "Banette misses me?"

Zinnia said, "Is it strange? You are the 'grandson' of Dragon-type! It's normal for it to miss you, right!"

Dragon-type's grandson...

All Baimu sweated; Zinnia knew his situation and was teasing him here!

"Hahaha! Not teasing you anymore! You haven't been back to the village to take a look after becoming Champion for so long!"

Zinnia laughed loudly, her scarf-like cape swaying up and down.

She was invited by Grandma Dragon this time, as the next Elder of Meteor Village, to communicate with the Dragon Tamer descendants far away in Unova.

Nowadays, the Dragon Tamer descendants in various places have lifted their closed state and started external communication.

The festival of the Village of Dragons is an attempt.

Meteor Village is preparing to learn from the experience of the Village of Dragons festival, and also wants to establish a friendly relationship with Dragon Tamers from other places.

"In that case, there should be a large team, right? Why did you come alone?"

All Baimu asked curiously.

Zinnia smiled, "Because I was already in Unova, have you heard of the legend of the man-eating dragon?"

All Baimu: "Legend of the man-eating dragon... Kyurem?"

"You really know it?"

Zinnia was extremely surprised.

She had checked in the Unova region for a long time before finding this name hidden in history.

"Heard of it."

All Baimu thought that the one he had really seen was in the village.

Zinnia said excitedly, "What other information do you know? Reveal more! I want to capture it!"

"Capture?"

All Baimu looked her up and down.

Zinnia was immediately dissatisfied, "What kind of look is that? Although my strength is indeed not as good as yours, there's no problem in trying, right?"

"No problem, my fault."

He raised his hands to surrender.

People in the Pokémon world didn't have the information he mastered, so naturally they didn't know the horror of Kyurem.

Of course, even if they knew, there was a high probability they would take action.

After all, challenging powerful wild Pokémon is an indispensable part of adventure; in the anime, few Trainers would retreat when seeing Legendary Pokémon.

Which one isn't throwing the ball bravely?

Winning or losing doesn't matter, fight first!

However, he could only pick what he knew about Kyurem's relevant information, where exactly the other party was...

Really don't know.

Many cities in the anime's theatrical versions are original, and some don't even mention the city name.

All Baimu only knew that the Kyurem in the theatrical version was located in an abandoned mine.

However, just the point of what abilities it has is enough to make Zinnia excited.

"Deserving of being the man who captured the most Legendary Pokémon!"

She laughed loudly and patted All Baimu's back heavily.

All Baimu said, "Good luck, remember to call me if something happens, I will come to save you."

"Che! Crow's mouth!"

Zinnia didn't feel at all that she would encounter any danger.

The next day.

The festival officially opened.

The Village of Dragons battle tournament officially started.

The Meteor Village team arrived, all of them from the younger generation of Meteor People, and they hugged All Baimu with great enthusiasm.

"You have more and more bearing!"

The still rough-looking Zhenya evaluated after looking carefully, "Is this the power brought by being a regional Champion?"

He looked at himself, "Bearing? Do I have it?"

"Mm-hmm!"

The chubby Peng Peng nodded, "Your expression used to be like someone owed you money, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to approach you if you didn't speak!"

"It's not as exaggerated as Peng Peng said! Don't take it to heart!"

Lianzuo waved his hands in a panic; he had long bangs and a pair of eyes like a fox thief.

All Baimu said happily, "Compared to me, the three of you haven't changed at all."

Catching up with people always makes people feel happy.

The Village of Dragons battle tournament naturally signed up, but unexpectedly, the participating Pokémon had two requirements——

Pokémon raised in the Village of Dragons, or Pokémon that know Dragon-type moves.

Iris said, "The battle tournament is looser than the Long Wang Tournament."

Only dragons from the Village of Dragons can participate in the Long Wang Tournament.
