"Hello?"

All Baimu's call made Professor Laventon stop hesitating outside the door.

He smiled a little awkwardly, "Sorry! My name is Laventon, I'm a Pokémon Professor... I heard you're from Orre?"

"You know Orre?"

All Baimu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Professor Laventon waved his hands quickly to deny, "Oh! No, no, I just heard about a strange region, and heard you have rare Pokémon, hehe~ I wanted to see them, I'm really sorry."

He scratched his head cautiously, not at all like the skilled and old-fashioned way he fooled the protagonist in the game.

All Baimu had a great feeling about Pokémon Professors. He naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request and generously displayed his Pokémon, making Laventon feast his eyes.

Thanks to this generosity, the two quickly became familiar.

"Goods lost in a sea storm... I really feel sorry for you. Originally, a traveling merchant like you could definitely have mixed well in Hisui!"

Professor Laventon sighed and asked, "What are your plans next?"

All Baimu said: "Of course, it's to wander around the Hisui region and find some goods to take back."

He had long thought of an excuse, intending to carry the identity of a traveling merchant to the end.

Hearing this, Professor Laventon blinked his small eyes, looking a bit eager to try, and coughed twice, "Um, are you interested in joining Team Galactic?"

"Me?"

"Right! Ah, don't misunderstand, Team Galactic is different from ordinary organizations. We people come from all over the world, just gathering together to explore Hisui."

Professor Laventon explained with a smile: "Everyone performs their own duties, protecting this outpost leading to the Hisui land. I am a member of the Survey Corps, responsible for investigating Pokémon!"

He talked about his dream of intending to draw the Hisui Pokédex, and said that relying on his own strength was really difficult to step over the entire Hisui.

At the end, Professor Laventon looked expectant, "If you have the intention, please join the Survey Corps! The rewards are easy to talk about! I definitely won't let you suffer!"

All Baimu: "I'll consider it."

Failing to get an answer on the spot, Professor Laventon was a little disappointed and didn't dare to disturb too much, so he said goodbye and left.

But from his words, it wasn't hard to hear that there weren't many members in the Survey Corps.

This was like the Survey Corps in Attack on Titan, needing to go to the wild first, and have close contact with various Pokémon, but how could ordinary people have such ability?

Therefore, until now, the members of the Survey Corps were only a few people like leader Cyllene and Professor Laventon.

It seemed to be the case. In this era, although Pokémon had faded from the name of demon beasts, they were still feared by people.

Why change the name?

Naturally, it was influenced by the first generation of Poké Balls.

This object was processed from apricorns and jade, simple and convenient to make. As long as you carry tools with you, you can make them anywhere.

Influenced by this invention, demon beasts became Pokémon that could be carried with you.

All Baimu had the heart to bring a few back to play in the modern era.

"Join, All Baimu! This way we can also inquire about the plates from them."

Porygon2 instigated the Trainer to join the Team Galactic Survey Corps.

He naturally wanted to join, but wasn't prepared to agree immediately, otherwise he would appear too cheap.

Didn't he see that the protagonist in the plot was so active in challenging the "Kings" and "Queens", solving various incidents, but was considered the culprit of everything?

At the very least, he had to let Team Galactic understand that it was them who took the initiative to invite him to join, not him who leaned up and wanted to join.

At this thought, All Baimu prepared to go out and wander around Jubilife Village.

There were two main roads in Jubilife Village, namely Flower Avenue and Waterway, the latter connecting to the Seaside Gate, with a large number of residences arranged on both sides of the road.

There was no doubt that it was the origin of the names of many towns in Sinnoh later.

He walked along the commercial street, looking at it, only feeling that they were all "acquaintances", "What is this? Do big shots have inheritance?"

"So the ancestors of the Gym Leaders and Frontier Brains in the Sinnoh region all came from other regions."

Porygon2 took photos crazily, compared them with celebrities in later generations, and when passing by a certain place, it said lightly, "Look at that one! Does he look like Wally?"

All Baimu looked over, finding it was a middle-aged man with green hair and a head wrap, who opened a small restaurant called Imo-Mitsu-Tei.

"Um... a little bit."

From the hair color and hairstyle, it was indeed a few points similar.

Having played the game, All Baimu also knew that the other party was likely Wally's ancestor, after all, even the types of Pokémon were almost the same as his.

He continued to wander, and his fast pace turned the entire Jubilife Village in no time.

And according to the information collected by Porygon2, the population of the entire Jubilife Village shouldn't have exceeded ten thousand, and it hadn't expanded to other places to establish a second village.

However, there seemed to be two relatively primitive tribes on the Sinnoh land, one named the Diamond Clan, and the other named the Pearl Clan.

The two respectively worshipped different Almighty Sinnoh, believing that it created the Hisui land.

"Almighty Sinnoh? Not Arceus?"

Porygon2 felt very strange, especially seeing the portrait of the so-called Almighty Sinnoh, "Isn't this Dialga and Palkia!"

They had just seen these two difficult brothers, so naturally they wouldn't forget.

All Baimu said: "Perhaps some misunderstandings—"

Boom!!

A thunderclap out of thin air made his words stop abruptly, but it came from the horizon.

All Baimu turned around involuntarily, clearly seeing the rolling dark clouds in the distant sky, terrifying thunder brewing in them, as if they were about to descend.

Jubilife Village fell into chaos, people looked up in terror at the mountain peak towering into the clouds, and the thunderclouds surging above the mountain peak, completely unaware of what had happened.

Team Galactic headquarters, members kept running out, including leader Cyllene.

"That thing is—"

Space-time rift.

Caused by the instability of the Distortion World.

All Baimu never expected that he would come to Hisui even earlier.

Porygon2 couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Bringing you here this time, isn't it to let you solve this?"

"—Very likely."

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, a space-time rift might be a disaster for those who don't know, but for someone like him who knows, the difficulty might not be as high as collecting plates.

Isn't it just a fanatical alpaca fan who was too eager to see his idol, so he united with the rebellious son to drive the other brother crazy, trying to force the other one to show up to find the idol's home?

In the final analysis, it was a human problem.

As long as the people are dealt with, it's OK.

As for where Volo is, All Baimu believes he will see him soon, this is a guy who is not very peaceful.

Unlike his calmness, Team Galactic people were very serious.

Everyone didn't know what happened at all, deciding to send people to Mount Coronet for investigation.

Professor Laventon and Cyllene, as members of the Survey Corps, were naturally the first to bear the brunt.

And he saw All Baimu in the crowd and immediately leaned over, "All Baimu! All Baimu! How is the consideration?"

"It's possible, but my price is not low—ordinary objects can't enter my eyes, they must be some rare treasures."

All Baimu said his conditions in front of other Team Galactic members.

Cyllene was indeed attracted by the conversation between the two. After thinking about it after learning that Laventon hoped All Baimu would join the Survey Corps, she said: "If you are willing, the reward can be discussed."

The sudden anomaly made the entire Jubilife Village a mess. Cyllene, who hadn't fallen ill, could be called a qualified leader, deciding to use all the power that could be used.

Hearing this, All Baimu smiled and reached out to her, "Then, happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation."

Cyllene was stunned for a moment before reaching out to shake hands with him.

Others in Team Galactic saw this and couldn't help but discuss privately. After all, All Baimu's origin was unknown, and it was his first day in Jubilife Village. Would it be too rash to let him join the Survey Corps?

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent, and Cyllene began to arrange manpower to go to Mount Coronet for investigation.

"Professor Laventon and I will go."

All Baimu volunteered: "Too many people are unfavorable for rushing."

Survey Corps leader Cyllene frowned, "Two people? How do you plan to go?"

"Naturally, by relying on the power of Pokémon."

He opened a Poké Ball at will.

Boom!

In an instant, the giant Steelix appeared in front of the Team Galactic headquarters, causing everyone's breathing to stagnate.

"Al-Alpha Pokémon!"

Someone exclaimed.

In the Hisui region, some Pokémon with body sizes different from the same species are called Alphas, and the giant Steelix happened to fit very well.

Cyllene and Cyllene stared wide-eyed, then looked at the indifferent All Baimu, never expecting that this man actually had the strength to tame an Alpha Pokémon!

Professor Laventon said excitedly: "Alpha Steelix! It's my first time seeing one! I must record it quickly!"

He didn't know where he took out a picture book and pen, and started drawing the Steelix.

All Baimu stopped him: "You'd better change your clothes first."

"Huh?"

"We are leaving immediately. I see Mount Coronet is covered in white snow, it must be very cold, you'd better wear more."

"Oh oh!"

Professor Laventon obediently went to wear clothes.

Cyllene opened her mouth, but finally only spat out one sentence, "I wish you a triumphant return!"

Cyllene, this leader, was awkward, especially facing All Baimu, the new member, really didn't know what to say.

All Baimu didn't have any bad feelings for her and took the initiative to talk to the other party.

During the exchange, he learned that it was the same as in the game, there was an assessment within Team Galactic, from one star to the final full stars, requiring the completion of many tasks and tests.

Originally All Baimu also had to take an exam to join the team, but time didn't allow it.

"As long as you return safely, I will count you as having passed the exam." Cyllene said harmoniously.

All Baimu nodded, "I will definitely live up to the trust!"

Not long after, under Cyllene's arrangement, Team Galactic members went to various places to appease the residents, and Professor Laventon returned dressed like a Ursaring, waving his right hand happily.

"I'm ready!"

"Let's go."

All Baimu rode on Hydreigon's back, signaling Steelix to carry Professor Laventon, and flew to Mount Coronet together.

The people of Jubilife Village looked up, only feeling breathtaking.

"Leader, is he really credible? Handing such an important matter to someone of unknown origin!"

Someone asked Cyllene.

Cyllene said: "Trust is not obtained out of thin air. Although this person's appearance is slightly cold, it is not difficult to see from his words, deeds, and attire that his origin is extraordinary."

Although All Baimu didn't care much, his lava suit, whether in style or fabric, was too advanced for this era.

Even in the modern Pokémon world, attire belongs to an important standard for judging a person.

However, saying so is saying so.

After the crowd dispersed, Cyllene still sought others to go to Mount Coronet for investigation.

The pioneering of Hisui was extremely important, and it was impossible to give up for no reason because of some small things.

This was a new region brewing treasures!

—

High altitude.

The giant Steelix supported by electromagnetic levitation moved forward with its tail.

Professor Laventon curled into a ball, opened his mouth to communicate with All Baimu in front, but ate a mouthful of wind.

What made him wonderful was that the other party seemed to have no fear of such unknown anomalies, not only dared to go, but even only pulled him along.

You know, in the past, Team Galactic went out to conduct investigations, and the Survey Corps generally went out in full force, and had to borrow people from the Security Group.

What kind of place is Orre, to be able to cultivate such a unique existence as All Baimu?

Professor Laventon was extremely curious.

Although the means of transportation was an aerial "airship", the time to rush was still long.

Before the two completely approached Mount Coronet, the sun gradually set.

At dusk, the dark clouds flashing with thunder on the top of Mount Coronet made people shudder, and the two landed in a wilderness.

"Where is this?"

Professor Laventon was clearly here for the first time, looking around in surprise, only feeling that the surrounding environment was very strange.

All Baimu took a deep breath.

He specifically stayed here, just to see one person—

Cogita.

This place is called the Ancient Retreat, corresponding to the future Celestic Town, and it may also be the Celestic Town that has already perished in the past.

Only because the real Celestic people once lived here.

But unexpectedly, no ruins were left?

All Baimu's gaze fell on the only house in the entire open space. Judging from the glowing candlelight revealed inside, there were clearly people inside.

Professor Laventon whispered: "Does anyone live here? Is it someone from the Diamond Clan or the Pearl Clan?"

These two organizations came to Hisui earlier than Team Galactic and claimed to be descendants of the Celestic people, and had communicated with Jubilife Village.

"Not clear."

All Baimu shook his head and stepped forward to knock on the door lightly.

Knock knock~

"Please come in."

A gentle female voice came from inside, "The door is unlocked."

All Baimu took a deep breath and pushed the door open to see an elegant woman drinking tea by the fire.

She wore a black dress of a strange style, and even though she was in the house, she hadn't taken off the hat on her head. The few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed that she was not young.

More importantly, her face was somewhat similar to Cynthia, as if she were her ancestor.

"Hello, guest from afar, I am Cogita."

She smiled slightly: "I really didn't expect to see an existence like you with my own eyes."

Huh?

Laventon was a little confused by her words, what is called an existence like you.

He looked at All Baimu.

All Baimu's face didn't change, just said: "You know me?"

"Just a little bit, my duty is only to pass on the legends of my ancestors, and I have no power to manage extra things."

Cogita smiled: "We all have our own responsibilities, don't we?"

Cogita.

The most mysterious NPC in Hisui, some people think she is just a long-lived Celestic person, similar to AZ in Kalos; others think she is Arceus's human form.

All Baimu didn't know which one was true, but he knew that even if it were the latter, the other party likely wouldn't admit it.

He said: "Can we stay here for a night?"

"Of course, please feel free."

Cogita smiled and drank tea.
