Chapter 1293: Cannot Skip

~14 min read 2,723 words

"ROAR!!"

The roar echoed through the night sky.

Giratina left without looking back, as if it had made up its mind about something.

Its collaborator, Volo, was ruthlessly abandoned, exposed to the layers of encirclement by the Pokémon.

Unfortunately, while it left, the space-time rift above Mount Coronet did not disappear.

After all, Dialga and Palkia were the source; one had to wait for their intelligence to return to normal before the rift could heal.

If it wasn't normal...

Anyway, he was going to Mount Coronet tomorrow, so he might as well take the opportunity to use the Red Chain to summon them out, talk to them, or beat them up.

Under the silent night sky, All Baimu recalled his conversation with Giratina—

'What do you mean there are too many ghosts in the land of Hisui and you're annoyed?'

'Oh, oh, you're starting to find other excuses again—"I was bored and found something to do." That means the Distortion World has no one in it, and you're lonely, pitiful, and unloved!'

'Am I wrong? Look at you, you get angry just because I said a couple of things to you! You're lonely and bored, so you go and provoke your two brothers, and as a result, you make them angry, which in turn affects Hisui.'

'You really have the nerve; is reality your territory that you can come and go as you please? Would you be happy if I went to visit your house next time?'

'You're anxious, you're anxious, I'll go, I'll go, bite me if you can.'

The communication between the man and the dragon was not friendly, but it wasn't that All Baimu deliberately angered Giratina; rather, he found that talking nicely to this guy was useless.

Even heart-to-heart communication couldn't shake the other party, but sarcastic, sharp words could make its anger fade.

Perhaps this was the Distortion World Dragon, symbolizing the opposite of all things.

Arceus created the world and divided it into five parts; Dialga belongs to the domain of time; Palkia belongs to the domain of space; Giratina belongs to the domain of antimatter, which is the back of the world.

Yet it was the one that believed it had been banished, so it was very unconvinced by Arceus and had come out to cause trouble many years ago.

Now, it happened to meet Volo, and being bored to death and sensing that there were too many ghosts in Hisui in "recent years," it simply came out to cause trouble again.

But in reality, it didn't count on Volo being able to accomplish anything, so it agreed to the invitation quickly and ran away even faster.

"The biggest problem has been solved, now only you are left, a small problem."

All Baimu looked down at Volo, who was sitting on the ground, leaned in, and smiled: "Do you think I should plant you here as fertilizer for the flowers and trees?"

His tone was flat, without any extra meaning, as if he were just stating a fact.

This made Volo feel a chill down his spine; he understood that the other party wasn't joking.

He really intended to kill him!

Anger and fear intertwined in his heart, and Volo couldn't speak for a moment, only clenching his teeth and showing a strange expression.

Failing to get a response, All Baimu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Volo in the game behaved extremely rampantly, with a posture of not stopping until his goal was achieved.

After losing to the game's protagonist and learning that he held the Azure Flute and could immediately go to challenge Arceus, he was devastated while swearing that he would meet Arceus sooner or later.

As for whether he achieved his goal in the end...

All Baimu didn't know that.

Anyway, Arceus in the animation background would sleep until Ash's era before waking up.

Could Volo live for a hundred years?

Hard to say.

"If you don't have the ability, don't learn to cause trouble."

All Baimu pulled this guy up from the ground and said: "Stay put, I have something to ask you in a while."

He remembered that in the game, collecting some plates had a certain connection with Volo, and he hoped to ask for clues.

"Thank you all, we won a complete victory tonight!"

He walked out of the giant pit and shouted to the Pokémon in a high-spirited tone, drawing a response of long roars and short chirps, and even Terapagos, the MVP, and Pecharunt, who had been lying down and winning, couldn't help but participate.

They hadn't won before, but they won this time, so it was a great victory!

Don't worry about how they won!

Calyrex, one of the core outputs, neighed while riding its horse, but there was a bit of melancholy in its heart.

If Terapagos hadn't acted on a whim in this battle, it would probably have been difficult to take down Giratina. The power of antimatter was too strong, and even it couldn't fight it.

It had clearly revived the giant tree in the temple, and its strength had improved again...

All Baimu, who was retrieving his Pokémon, noticed this and comforted it: "Don't take it too much to heart. How many wonders are there in the world? Your Majesty can already be considered in the first tier."

'Heh... I only say it is truly as you said, "There are Pokémon beyond Pokémon, and heavens beyond heavens."'

Calyrex sneered.

It had once been curious why All Baimu always had such a sense of crisis, constantly strengthening and training Aggron and the others.

There shouldn't be any opponents for him in the world.

But as he encountered more and more people and Pokémon, Calyrex realized that the world was actually very big, and the Crown Tundra was too small, too small.

"Don't worry, you can still become stronger."

All Baimu touched the big-headed deer pityingly. The certainty in his words made Calyrex's curiosity overcome its shyness.

'Oh?'

Its thoughts turned, and it soon realized something.

Could that kind of thing work on it too?

Calyrex had originally thought it could only work on Aggron and the others, but now hearing All Baimu's promise, it couldn't help but feel some expectation.

In its long life, there were very few things that could stimulate its interest.

'I look forward to it.'

Calyrex said, and was returned to its Poké Ball.

Of course, there was also Spectrier, who habitually licked him. All Baimu was already used to it and was no longer as disgusted as he once was.

Sigh.

He used to be the one taming Pokémon, but now it was his turn to be tamed.

It really is the irony of fate.

All Baimu came to the three Legendary Titans and naturally felt the cold "gaze" from Lei Jiaisi.

"I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it sometimes."

He apologized decisively.

The Heart of the Titan is equivalent to a translator; who could return to the days of guessing back and forth after using it?

"Gee-gee-gee—Lei! Gee! Hey!"

Lei Jiaisi lowered its massive body, the cold, pale freezing air constantly drifting, seemingly warning him deeply again, before it was willing to let him go.

Registeel next to it followed suit, "Doo-doo-doo—Lei! Gee! Hiss!"

Only Regirock still appeared indifferent, "Hum-hum-hum~"

The child is grown up, let him do what he wants, why always interfere?

And then it was pressed down and beaten by its two brothers.

The three hard objects fought with bangs and thuds, forcing All Baimu to quickly retrieve them.

There were outsiders here!

He turned his head and sure enough saw Adaman and Irida looking at him with strange expressions, then looking at each other, and finally acting as if nothing had happened, each looking to one side.

"Ahem..."

All Baimu coughed twice, leaving only Ogerpon.

He vaguely remembered that Boros went to Kitakami to avoid war, and the two sides that triggered the war at that time were the Diamond settlement and the Pearl settlement.

However, according to the timeline, the war should have happened a hundred years before the Galaxy Team arrived in Hisui. The true People of the Origin were scattered until only two or three remained, and the descendants of Damon probably had long since died out...

No.

Boros was still in Kitakami!

And there was a little girl in the future!

But no matter what, he wanted to take Ogerpon to see the place where they once lived.

"Do you still remember where you used to live?"

"Poni-oh?"

Ogerpon lowered its head to think, then looked at the surrounding environment, and shook its head in frustration.

Too much time had passed, and it couldn't even recognize this as the land where it once lived. The proportion of Kitakami and the Platinum Mountain in its memory far exceeded Hisui.

It was estimated that only after seeing a familiar place would Ogerpon be able to remember.

All Baimu comforted it: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, do you want to go back and take a look?"

"Poni-oh?"

Ogerpon fell into thought.

The place where it once lived, huh.

Although Boros had passed away and the old friends were basically gone, there was no point in going back, but if possible, it wouldn't hurt to go back and take a look.

The little Ogerpon nodded slightly and reservedly.

All Baimu then said: "Okay, I'll find a way to take you to look for it."

He glanced at Volo. The other party hadn't moved in the pit, seemingly in a state of self-isolation.

The Pokémon had all been thrown far away by Calyrex, and Giratina had run away on its own. Volo clearly had no power to fight back anymore.

The People of the Origin didn't have any superpowers.

Although they worshipped the true Almighty Sinnoh, Arceus, they were not like the people of the Hall of Origin who could borrow power from Arceus.

Nor were they like the descendants of Damon, who possessed the power to communicate directly with Pokémon hearts.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

All Baimu approached Adaman and Irida. "If I'm not mistaken, the two of you should be the leaders of the Pearl Clan and the Diamond Clan?"

Adaman was about to speak, but Irida asked hurriedly: "I am Irida! What on earth happened?"

"Excuse me, I am Adaman."

Adaman cupped his hands and said: "This... friend, we both came to investigate the anomalies on Mount Coronet, and passed through here by mistake. I hope you won't hesitate to enlighten us."

Hearing his cautious words, the impatient Irida woke up as if from a dream, her cheeks becoming unusually flushed, almost dripping with blood.

She knew very well that her words just now were too impolite, so she held her hands awkwardly, bowed deeply, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was rude just now, please enlighten me."

"Not at all, not at all."

All Baimu was very happy that the two were sensible enough; this way, things would be much easier to handle later. "The situation is like this."

He briefly explained the cause of the space-time rift and the harm it might bring, including the adverse effects the space-time rift might have on the Pokémon.

When Volo's goal of finding Arceus was mentioned, the two were quite confused.

"Arceus?"

"That's right, the Almighty Sinnoh of the Hisui region."

"Wait! You're wrong, Almighty Sinnoh is Palkia; it used the power of space to create the universe..."

Irida argued without hesitation.

All Baimu didn't answer, but looked at Adaman next to him. "Are you trying to say that Almighty Sinnoh is Dialga, and it used the power of time to create the universe?"

"..."

Adaman nodded hesitantly.

All Baimu spread his hands: "I know this is the insistence of the Pearl Clan and the Diamond Clan, but unfortunately, Almighty Sinnoh is Arceus; it created the universe and endowed it with the concept of space and time..."

The creation legend of Arceus was continuously poured into the heads of Adaman and Irida.

In the past, if Adaman heard such nonsense, he would only think it was a waste of time, but having just seen that world-destroying scene, many things made him unable to help but believe.

Irida also had a tangled expression, as if her worldview had been impacted.

It was just that neither of them appeared too crazy.

She and Adaman served as leaders of the Pearl Clan and the Diamond Clan at a young age, fundamentally because the previous generations had fought too fiercely, and the blood feuds created had caused them to lose too many people.

To avoid mutual destruction, these two young people were allowed to take power, hoping for peaceful coexistence.

Now hearing such explosive content, Adaman and Irida found it difficult to digest for a long time.

All Baimu smiled and said bluntly: "So, to perfectly end this disaster, the cooperation of the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan is needed."

"Cooperation?"

Adaman hadn't asked what to cooperate on yet, but Irida immediately patted her chest: "Leave it to me! I'll do anything!"

Adaman: "..."

He was very helpless.

He thought his usual temperament was impatient enough, but he didn't expect Irida to be even more impatient than him!

"This matter is not difficult to say, but it's not simple either."

All Baimu smiled: "I heard that the Pearl Clan and the Diamond Clan take care of the 'Noble' and 'Lady', and they hold things called plates in their hands. I need them."

Plates?

Another strange term.

Adaman said: "I need to discuss this matter carefully with my clansmen."

"Please feel free."

All Baimu said harmoniously: "I will visit, whether it's the Pearl Clan or the Diamond Clan. If the space-time rift doesn't heal naturally, the power of the plates is indispensable."

The two agreed and looked at the culprit, Volo, together.

"He..."

"I'll find a way to deal with it." All Baimu's words inexplicably made them shudder.

Although it was very annoying that Volo had done such a thing, but this "find a way to deal with it"... was it dealing with a person?

In the end, they didn't ask. The people and Pokémon they saw today, and the things they heard, were far beyond their imagination. Without some time to digest, they really couldn't react.

The two left together and parted ways somewhere.

They just wanted to return to the settlement as soon as possible and explain everything they discovered and saw to the wardens responsible for taking care of the "Noble" and "Lady."

And All Baimu, who remained in place, turned around and dragged Volo out of the pit. "You should also know the clues about the plates, right?"

"Plates?"

Volo looked up at him.

All Baimu said: "I might as well tell you the truth, dealing with you is just on the way; my main purpose for coming here is for the plates."

Volo asked back: "Why do you want to collect the plates?"

"Why ask so much, just tell me if you know or not." All Baimu's fingers tapped into his shoulder.

Volo felt pain, and his brows frowned. "You should go and ask Cogita; she knows more about the things on this land than I do."

"Tsk, what use are you!"

All Baimu dragged Volo back to Cogita's cabin. Under his command, Porygon2 and Ogerpon moved the tree that was pressing on the house.

Professor Laventon was still sleeping peacefully, not knowing that while he was having a sweet dream, the world had almost been overturned.

Inside the house.

Cogita sipped tea in small sips. Seeing All Baimu drag someone in, she said: "All solved?"

"Generally speaking, I want to ask you about some things."

He asked about the whereabouts of the plates.

Cogita said: "Regarding the plates, I heard that Arceus once bestowed them upon ten Pokémon..."

"I already know this." All Baimu interrupted Cogita's speech and chose to skip the plot directly.

Who knew Cogita would raise her eyebrows and look at him: "Since you know, why ask me."

"But..."

"Collect what you can collect first, then it won't be too late to ask me about the whereabouts of the remaining plates."

The NPC refuses your speedrun request and forcibly requires you to follow the plot.

All Baimu was speechless. ===== CHAPTER 1294 =====
