Chapter 130: The Quasi-Divine Pokémon Secured

~7 min read 1,313 words

Night.

Ah Wu video-chatted with the Grandmother of Long Zhi Xiang, far away in the Union, through his phone,

"Grandmother! I have not failed my mission! I've already chased back all the Single-Head Dragons!" he shouted excitedly, then pointed the camera at each Single-Head Dragon.

The white-templed elder on the phone saw those Single-Head Dragons and immediately burst into laughter, continuously making sounds similar to those Ah Wu used to soothe the Single-Head Dragons.

"I'll bring them back very soon!" Ah Wu said this first, then ran to the master bedroom to catch Baimu, saying he wanted to introduce him to Grandmother.

Baimu could not withstand his enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to greet Grandmother.

"Hello, Grandmother, very pleased to meet you."

"Hello to you too. Ah Wu has really been a bother to you — not only asking for your help, but also disturbing your daily life." The elder laughed very amiably.

"Not at all, it's just mutual help."

Baimu hurriedly waved his hand.

At this moment, Ah Wu at the side cut in: "Grandmother, you don't know this, but Baimu is a descendant of a Dragon Tamer who was stranded outside."

He quickly rattled off some of his own guesses.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Grandmother on the phone was also very surprised, carefully studying Baimu's features.

The latter only felt a wave of awkwardness. The Grandmother of Long Zhi Xiang was a person of great wisdom — she probably saw through his disguise at a glance, so he hurriedly added: "This is just Ah Wu's guess. The reason is that I have a plaque passed down from my family, but I don't know its origins either."

"Mm… let me see the plaque?" Grandmother did not state her conclusion directly.

Baimu's heart skipped a beat, but he still held up the plaque, bringing it close to the camera for Grandmother to examine.

The phone camera's resolution probably isn't very high, right?

Probably.

And after Grandmother saw the wooden plaque, she slightly narrowed her eyes and suddenly said: "Has the surface been polished down?"

"Uh…"

Baimu asked weakly: "How can you tell?"

"Because the appearance is just too new, even though it does look a little old."

Grandmother sighed, then said: "To be honest, I can't determine its origins. The style of this plaque is far too rare — even I've only seen it a few times, back when I was young."

"Eh?"

Ah Wu grew interested. "Grandmother, is this plaque very rare?"

"It's special. A normal Dragon Tamer's Dragon Plaque has dragon-energy emblems on both the front and back, and it's not made of this kind of wood — the width is also narrower…"

As Grandmother spoke, she suddenly looked at Baimu. "Baimu, judging by your appearance alone, you do have some Dragon Folk elements. If you don't mind, you might try to find a chance to go to places like Meteor Falls Village or Sootopolis City — you might be able to find out about your origins."

The elder did not seem to think he was lying; she believed his claim that he himself didn't know his origins, and even offered him suggestions.

Baimu nodded to show he understood, his heart exceedingly complicated.

After finishing this topic, Ah Wu showed no sign of stopping. His eyeballs swiveled, and he suddenly said to Grandmother: "Grandmother, these Single-Head Dragons will all need to be entrusted to trainers to raise them in the future, right?"

"That's right."

"Then how about letting Baimu raise one! A Dragon Tamer without a Dragon-type Pokémon is just too pitiful!" Ah Wu took the phone and ran over to Aggron. "Look at this, this sturdy Aggron! Baimu raised it really well!"

"…Roar!"

Aggron didn't really understand what this person was saying, but hearing himself being praised, he subconsciously raised both arms and howled, "Gudong!"

He then turned the camera toward Chansey — the latter was startled, its body a little stiff. "Look at this Chansey."

Then toward Mawile—

Ah Wu looked at the large jaw revealed as the other turned its head. "Uh… anyway, as you can see, Baimu is absolutely the right person to entrust them to!"

"Mm, I've seen it all. He's indeed not bad."

Grandmother's voice came through the phone. "What you say is indeed worth considering, but have you asked Baimu's wishes?"

"Baimu! Are you willing or not?"

Ah Wu excitedly pointed the phone at Baimu, raising his eyebrows to signal him to agree.

This guy acts first and reports later…

Even though it's to give him a Pokémon.

Baimu's gaze met Grandmother's through the screen. After a few seconds of thought, he bowed to her. "If possible, I hope you can entrust one Single-Head Dragon to me to raise! Please!"

"Hehehe, looks like you've reached an agreement." Grandmother laughed, then continued: "In that case, I can agree to entrust one of the Single-Head Dragons to your care. But as to which one, I won't assign it for you.

"Before Ah Wu leaves Iron Town, as long as you gain the favor of any one Single-Head Dragon, you'll qualify to raise it. I trust this most basic little task isn't beyond you, right?"

yawenba.

The elder seemed to have the intention of testing him.

"The favor of any one Single-Head Dragon?"

Hearing this, Baimu's expression turned a little strange — Ah Wu beside him wore a similarly strange expression.

"Yes, if you have any questions I can answer them for you." Grandmother assumed it was the former who felt it was a bit difficult.

The result.

The two exchanged a glance. Ah Wu slowly backed away, exposing Baimu's entire body, and said: "Ready, OK!"

The latter said: "Good, I'm starting."

Grandmother: "?"

The next moment.

"Little rascals, dinner time!" Baimu shouted out in a single loud cry.

Peng peng peng peng.

From outside suddenly came the chaotic sounds of collisions, followed by many, many noisy, tender cries.

"Mo Nao!" "Nao-zu!"

In the blink of an eye, six single-headed dragons rushed headlong into the bedroom one after another, and began to sweep through the place under Big Mouth Kid's horrified expression.

Crash, bang, clatter — a chaotic din.

Big Mouth Kid guarded her Princess bed with her life, knocking any single-headed dragon that dared approach away with her big jaw.

Failing to catch the scent of food for a long while, the single-headed dragons ran over to the food-maker All Baimu, nuzzling against him, even stretching their heads to gnaw at various parts of his body.

"Mo Nao! Mo Nao!"

These guys were just like howling Husky pups waiting to be fed — the kind that already had the ability to wreck the house.

"Great-grandma, does this count as affection? Even if it's affection for the food I make."

All Baimu had three or four single-headed dragons hanging off him, one of them even climbing onto his head; he turned around and said this to Great-grandma, who was somewhat startled yet couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting young man as you. Good, good, good. From the looks of it, you're even more outstanding than I imagined. I also think you must surely possess the bloodline of the Dragon People."

Great-grandma said: "Being able to make food that makes single-headed dragons salivate like this isn't something an ordinary person can do — how about you try raising six? Dragon Homeland does have dragon-tamers who raise multiple single-headed dragons, you know."

"No, no, no, one is enough, one is enough."

All Baimu hurriedly refused Great-grandma's suggestion; single-headed dragons were the kind of Pokémon that were slow to progress and required a great deal of time to raise.

Six at a stretch — who could handle that?

Even if he had the simulator, he couldn't handle it.

Thus.

The matter of raising a single-headed dragon was thoroughly settled.
