Chapter 1313: Pure White Icelands
Including the Zap Plate, All Baimu had already obtained ten, one step closer to his goal.
Next target—
【Pure White Icelands】.
Located at the northernmost tip of the Hisui region, in the snow-covered ice field.
Snow that never melts all year round covers everything; it's hard to imagine how people living here prevent snow blindness.
Perhaps they don't need to?
All Baimu only knew that the Pearl Clan members all had good physiques, and didn't even need to wear coats when going out.
That's right!
He was talking about Irida!
He remembered that this girl would feel hot even in the Pure White Icelands; her body temperature regulation function was quite abnormal!
All Baimu put on a cloak, wrapping his head tightly, revealing only his eyes and nostrils.
Although with his current physique and the Lava Suit on his body, he could completely resist the wind and cold of the Pure White Icelands, he didn't want his physical sensation to be too arduous.
Being able to resist doesn't mean he won't feel cold.
"Not going back to Jubilife Village?"
The Poryphone asked curiously.
It remembered that All Baimu had promised Akari—pfft, Akari—that he would go back to take a look.
All Baimu said: "Wait until the two plates of the Pure White Icelands are obtained."
Going back would likely mean being entangled by Professor Laventon asking questions, at which point he could recuperate in Jubilife Village for two days.
"Hydreigon!"
Hydreigon roared, signaling its trainer to look into the distance.
To avoid the biting cold wind in the sky, its flight altitude was infinitely close to the ground at this moment, which also made the journey to the Pure White Icelands appear slightly long.
They left the other side of the Coronet Highlands around eight in the morning, and now it was approaching dusk, and the sky was gradually becoming dim.
If they couldn't see the Pearl Settlement again, they would probably have to find a cave to spend the night.
Fortunately, the simple map given by Ingo was reliable enough.
"Sure enough, near mountains and water."
He looked at the murmuring river water below, and the pink-white snow houses belonging to the Pearl Settlement were not conspicuous.
The only eye-catching thing was the rising smoke.
The atmosphere of fireworks!
The Pearl Settlement was also the only place nearby that exposed the rock and soil layer, and there was even a vegetable garden.
After Hydreigon approached, he looked again and saw many Pearl Clan members wearing thick clothes.
It could be seen that not all members of the Pearl Settlement were like Irida, who was not afraid of the severe cold of the Pure White Icelands and would bare her shoulders and thighs.
Their cold resistance is comparable to Hokkaido gals!
Following the convention, All Baimu didn't fly into the Pearl Settlement rashly, but walked in from the outside.
"I want to find Irida, is she here?"
All Baimu asked loudly.
Many Pearl Clan members looked over at the sound, but didn't welcome him at the first opportunity after seeing him, but stared at him with strange eyes and whispered to each other.
Was it because there was no one to introduce him?
Although the treatment he received in the Diamond Settlement couldn't be called very good either, at least it was much more popular than here.
Waiting in place for a full two or three minutes.
From a house in the distance, Gaeric and another Pearl Clan member ran out; the latter pointed at him from afar, and then Gaeric, who was looking over, approached quickly.
"All Baimu!"
She said with a face full of apology: "Sorry for keeping you waiting! Irida went to find her master and hasn't come back yet."
Irida's master is the fifth warden of the Pearl Clan, Gaeric, who can expose his upper body even in ice and snow, obviously the ancestor of the Kalos Gym Leader Wulfric.
It's just that he is braver than Wulfric; Wulfric has to wear a coat and a vest even when staying in the gym, he doesn't need anything, just bare-chested.
The majestic masculinity could simply overflow from the Pearl Clan pattern on his chest.
And the "Noble" he takes care of is the Hisuian Avalugg, the largest of all "Nobles."
Therefore, he is called the Lord of the Tundra.
"It's okay, do you have any empty houses here?" All Baimu didn't rush to find Gaeric, the Poryphone had just forecast a blizzard—
Its weather forecast doesn't need satellites; it can calculate based on air humidity, temperature, and many other factors by relying on itself.
Being level ninety and having significantly improved computing power is just that awesome.
It was impossible for Gaeric to drive him out, "If you don't mind, come to my house and make do!"
"Your house?"
All Baimu raised his eyebrows; he could at least be considered an adult male!
Gaeric tasted something from his strange tone and reacted afterward, "Ah ah! I live with my parents, not alone!"
She waved her hands in a hurry to explain.
All Baimu nodded this time, "So that's it. Thank you for your kindness, but no need."
It's not that he can't make do, it's that he doesn't trust the other members of the Pearl Clan; it's better to avoid trouble.
"If the weather is good enough tomorrow morning, I will come again. Please help me tell Irida."
He flipped onto the dragon, preparing to head to the Snowpoint Temple, and by the way, meet the Diamond Clan warden Sabi there.
Gaeric wanted to persuade him again, but Hydreigon flew too fast, and she could only watch him go away.
The Pearl Clan member who helped point the way asked in a low voice: "Gaeric, is he the one who said Palkia is not the Almighty Sinnoh?"
Gaeric nodded, "Hmm."
"Such a heretic actually dares to come to the door voluntarily; this is because we are now yearning for peace. If it were a few decades ago, he wouldn't even be able to walk out of the village."
The Pearl Clan member shook his head and sighed, both for the other party's good luck and for the Pearl Clan that had changed with the times.
Gaeric smiled casually and didn't speak to refute.
Her situation in the Pearl Clan couldn't be called very good either; if it weren't for the fact that Growlithe successfully evolved into Arcanine this time, she would inevitably have to hear a lot of gossip again.
A short while later.
Snowflakes began to fall from the white sky.
Before the blizzard arrived, the lightly dressed Irida returned and learned from others that All Baimu had visited and Gaeric had gone to receive him.
"Gaeric big sister! Where is All Baimu?"
Gaeric then recounted everything that had just happened.
Irida was both glad and disappointed; glad that she hadn't been able to persuade her master yet, disappointed that All Baimu hadn't been able to stay in the Pearl Settlement.
She still had many things she wanted to ask him for advice.
More importantly, she heard from Cyllene that All Baimu had stayed in the Diamond Clan for two days, and entertaining the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh was something that they, the descendants of the Celestica people, should do!
"Can only wait until tomorrow."
Irida returned home disappointed.
Outside the house, the blizzard was fierce, and she couldn't help but wonder where All Baimu was at this moment; wouldn't he freeze to death?
Probably not.
Irida believed in All Baimu's identity as the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh.
——
Snowpoint Temple.
Located at the northernmost part of the Sinnoh region, on the peak of the towering snow mountain.
It is like a vast palace cast from snow and rock, with silver-white eaves piercing the cold fog, merging with the snow that never melts all year round.
The Pearl Clan sent people to guard here; perhaps because basically no one would come here, the guards appeared exceptionally lazy.
"Ah~"
He yawned listlessly, until he saw the approaching All Baimu, and then he woke up with a start.
"Who!"
The guard raised his spear.
Before All Baimu could answer, the Diamond Clan warden Sabi happened to walk out from inside...
No.
It was that she had predicted it in advance.
"You really came, just like Cyllene said, I saw it~" Sabi jumped happily and said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Sabi~ Please take care of me!"
"Please take care of me, I am All Baimu." All Baimu asked curiously: "May I ask how far you can 'see'?"
"..."
Sabi's eyes were wide open; this was a sign that she was observing the future every moment.
She had a pair of green twin tails, wore a thick fluffy hat, and was wrapped tightly, looking petite and cute.
In terms of age, Sabi was probably less than ten years old; the reason she became a warden was because of the mysterious power she possessed.
She observed All Baimu for a long time, suddenly rubbed her eyes, and said: "You are very strange, I can only see a relatively short period of time about you, the future further away is very blurry."
"So how far into the future did you see?"
All Baimu wasn't too surprised that Sabi couldn't see through him, after all, he was inherently special.
Sabi still didn't answer, and said to herself: "I believe you are the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh now, but! I want to play hide-and-seek with you~"
She said: "Please come into the Snowpoint Temple to catch me, once you catch me, I'll tell you what you want to know."
After saying that, she turned and ran into the temple, shouting: "Guard uncle, please help me block him for three minutes~"
"Understood!"
The guard actually listened to her.
You must know that the guard belongs to the Pearl Clan, while Sabi belongs to the Diamond Clan.
It can only be said that Sabi was quirky enough to win the guard's favor.
All Baimu stayed at the door, staring at the guard.
"You are that guy who claims to be the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh?" The guard's tone was unkind.
He seemed to think All Baimu was a liar.
All Baimu smiled and didn't respond to his words, but was thinking about another thing—
Regigigas should be living in the depths of this place, right?
If he released the three Legendary Titans and the Dragon/Electric Titans, would it wake it up?
If he remembered correctly, Regigigas should also have a plate on it, which is the 19th plate independent of the eighteen plates, called the Blank Plate.
It can transform Arceus's type into the Normal type.
The appearance of this plate is because the Legendary Pokémon cannot carry items, so Arceus can only be transformed into a certain type through the plate.
To change it back to the Normal type, you need to use the Blank Plate.
All Baimu was quite hesitant.
In the game, you need to capture Regigigas to get the Blank Plate; does he have the strength to capture it now?
Forget it.
Wait until the "Noble's" plate is in hand.
Three minutes passed in a hurry.
All Baimu looked at the guard; the guard hummed and didn't make things difficult for him, turning his head and waving his hand.
"Thank you."
He smiled and nodded, leading Hydreigon into the Snowpoint Temple.
Unlike the silver-white snow walls on the exterior, the interior of the Snowpoint Temple presented an ancient bronze color.
Torches were lit inside, illuminating the wide main hall.
In the main hall, there were statues of the Legendary Titans on both sides; from the head, they looked like the Ice Titan, from the shoulder, they looked like the Rock Titan, and from the hand, they looked like the Steel Titan.
It could be called a three-in-one Legendary Titan!
It held a square stone in front of its chest, on which some kind of type pattern was carved.
All Baimu took a look, "Rock type?"
The ones held by the statues next to it were Ice type and Steel type.
At the very front of the statues, another spherical statue was erected.
This was very similar to the statue that sealed the Dragon and Electric Titans back then, making All Baimu curious if someone else was sealed inside.
Not Regigigas; the Titan King has a small single room, how could it be so lacking in status.
At the same time, Hydreigon found a huge bronze bell in the corner, suspected to be an Alpha Pokémon.
"Hydreigon..."
Before it could roar, the Alpha Bronzong took the initiative to fly away.
Even the Pokémon of the Hisui era understood what kind of existence could be provoked and what could not.
Therefore, All Baimu basically hadn't encountered a situation where a wild Pokémon stared at him from eight hundred miles away and rushed over immediately.
Quickly walked to the very depths.
A huge wall printed with Ice, Steel, and Rock type patterns blocked the way.
Undoubtedly, this was the so-called access control.
It needed to be decoded to go to the next level.
However, the access control in front of him was no different from the game; in other words, it only had the puzzle-solving level of an 8-year-old.
He recalled the statues he saw when he came, pressed them casually, and the big door opened easily.
"Sure enough, it's some kind of pattern."
The Poryphone didn't have time to prompt, and could only say: "The technological level of the ancients who built this is not low, but it seems they don't know how to set difficult problems."
All Baimu turned his head and said: "He was afraid that future generations would forget the password, you can't be sure that all his descendants are geniuses."
"... Also."
The Poryphone agreed.
All Baimu continued forward and soon found Sabi; she was standing under a long staircase with a speechless expression.
"You... why are you so skilled?"
Sabi set off three minutes early, but only arrived here half a minute earlier than All Baimu.
All Baimu smiled.
The child's steps are small, how fast can she be?
Sabi said: "I wanted to send out Pokémon to hinder your steps, but I 'saw' the scene of them being defeated, I knew this was futile, you won."
She felt for the first time that hide-and-seek was a bit boring.
Subsequently, Sabi walked forward along the long staircase, and All Baimu followed her pace to the outdoors.
Snow began to fall from the sky.
The majestic giant eagle stood on a rock pillar; its brow had three feathers burning like ghost flames, and its wings were white on the outside and gray on the inside, exceptionally wide.
Hisuian Braviary, Psychic and Flying type; it had once taken All Baimu to soar over the Hisui land, a good helper for capturing various Shiny Pokémon.
"Coo coo!"
It let out a crisp call.
Sabi said: "Braviary cares about you very much, and also recognizes you very much, so I think you didn't lie. You really are the envoy of the Almighty Sinnoh."
She had once denied Cyllene's decision in the meeting, just because she only believed in her own eyes.
Now seeing All Baimu, and seeing the attitude of the Hisuian Braviary, she had no more doubts.
But regarding the point that the Almighty Sinnoh is not Dialga, Sabi couldn't help but feel a bit lost.
"If Dialga is not the Almighty Sinnoh, then is this pair of eyes of mine not bestowed by the Almighty Sinnoh?"
Sabi had heard her parents say since she was a child that this was the favor given to her by the Almighty Sinnoh, a symbol of his protection.
Now that she knew the truth, she couldn't help but feel a bit shaken inside.
All Baimu said: "Hard to say, because Dialga was created by Arceus; since he could create Dialga, who represents time, maybe he could give you a pair of eyes that can see through the future."
"..."
Sabi was silent for a long time, until the Hisuian Braviary flew down and handed the Icicle Plate to All Baimu, she then said: "Ten minutes, I can see through the future of ten minutes!"
