Chapter 1342: Nightmare Level
Future Lumiose City.
Different from the current central city-state of Kalos, according to Darkrai, the Lumiose City it knew was rebuilt after being destroyed.
Destroyed? Rebuilt?
All Baimu realized that this might be the original anime world, that is, the original plot where the Legendary Megalith went on a rampage and destroyed Lumiose City without his extra intervention.
Darkrai's experience was——at that time, it was passing through Future Lumiose City, sensed the Mega Stone inside Prism Tower, sneaked in in the middle of the night, found the target, and used the standard skill 【Thief】 for Dark-type Pokémon.
Wild Pokémon, after all, are born with the Pickup ability, it's just that they don't pick up as diligently as Zigzagoon.
Darkrai never expected to pick up a bomb, which directly blew its mind, causing a large-scale disturbance.
As for what happened later, it didn't know either, only knowing to follow its instincts to struggle for survival, until it sensed All Baimu's existence and spent great effort to ask him for help.
"Then why did you abduct children?"
"..."
Darkrai couldn't explain it clearly; many things were done subconsciously. If you ask it to talk, it really can't say why.
Turning to the Dread Plate, All Baimu was very curious about where it got this thing.
"Not... too... clear..."
Darkrai was a bit confused.
It was only because it went on a rampage under the influence of Mega Evolution, created Nightmare Newmoon Island to link to Snowpoint City, and then the Dread Plate appeared on it.
All Baimu couldn't help but frown. Could it be Arceus's doing?
——The possibility is not high.
How could Arceus, in order to achieve its goal, specially impose a burden on a rampaging Pokémon.
It was never any kind of conspirator.
All Baimu didn't continue to think wildly, and began to consider another thing, which was the source of the Darkrai Mega Stone.
If he wasn't mistaken, it mostly originated from the big mine in the Frost Cavern of Kalos.
What a rich mine!
He could count more than ten new Mega Evolutions just by counting casually now, and God knows how many new Mega Evolutions there could be in the future.
Hydreigon's turn is just around the corner!
All Baimu looked at Darkrai. "Do you have any attachments in your original world? Like humans you know, or Pokémon partners you are familiar with."
"Lai..."
Darkrai shook its head after thinking.
There were actually many humans and Pokémon it knew, but to say it was familiar with them, it asked itself that it probably didn't have any.
If it had, it wouldn't have stayed in Mt. Silver with peace of mind.
I'm afraid it would have thought about going back long ago.
All Baimu smiled: "Since that's the case, just stay in Mt. Silver with peace of mind."
"Lai~"
Darkrai had exactly this intention.
Although it didn't understand why All Baimu and the Poryphone were so interested in where it came from, it really didn't have the idea of going back.
The two worlds made no difference to it.
Finally, All Baimu asked if it had any thoughts of trying Mega Evolution again.
"... No..."
Darkrai had a bit of fear for the Mega Stone, just like the Shiny Gengar who was tortured by Mega Evolution.
All Baimu didn't force it. "Fine, come find me when you have thoughts one day. I will let you Mega Evolve safely."
"... Good..."
Darkrai nodded; its trust in All Baimu was still very high at present.
The Poryphone whispered in his ear: "Don't you take this opportunity to talk and capture it with a Poké Ball?"
Capture...
All Baimu wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but suddenly considered another problem, so he asked, "Darkrai, do you want to add a set of safety measures for yourself?"
Darkrai: "?"
"In this world, Pokémon like you are often coveted by humans. I believe it's not like you haven't encountered humans who wanted to capture you before..."
He simply explained the benefits of being captured by a Poké Ball.
Pokémon hunters mainly capture Pokémon to make money, and Pokémon that have been captured are equivalent to having an ID card, and few rich people are willing to pay for registered ones.
Team Rocket would rob because they could digest it internally, just like the Team Rocket trio, every time they saw an unfamiliar Pokémon, they would fantasize about the picture of the Pokémon serving Giovanni.
"Lai..."
Darkrai had no objection; it was now obedient to All Baimu.
All Baimu and the Poryphone looked at each other.
Immediately, a Moon Ball was placed in front of it, and Darkrai reached out to touch it.
Bang!
The Poké Ball opened, taking it inside.
After it was completely quiet, All Baimu picked it up and scanned it with the Pokédex.
Spectrier said before that Darkrai's level was over 100; he wasn't sure, but now it seemed he could determine it?
"All Baimu! It——"
The Poryphone exclaimed, paused, and said: "It's level 85."
Level 85?
As a Mythical Pokémon, this level definitely wasn't low, on par with the cyber lizard Miraidon, only five levels lower than Spectrier.
But it was still too far from level 100.
All Baimu released Darkrai, who was tasting the feeling inside the ball, and inexplicably felt that the atmosphere wasn't quite right.
"Lai?"
"Nothing, go play." He waved his hand to indicate that Darkrai could go.
Darkrai was confused, but still flew away obediently.
All Baimu and the Poryphone went to Spectrier's garden to discuss this matter.
"Impossible! I absolutely cannot have misjudged!"
Spectrier denied it subconsciously, but seeing that neither of them spoke, it frowned again. "Could it be that I really felt wrong?"
"Hard to say."
All Baimu didn't come here to deny Spectrier's judgment. "Perhaps the different dimension has some kind of special nature."
The environment will have many extra influences on Pokémon.
This point can be seen from situations like Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Terastallization, etc., even without seeing it with his own eyes.
Nightmares, different dimensions, and Future Lumiose City, several elements mixed together, gave All Baimu reason to believe that it was a new special system in the XY remake.
Mega Evolution itself can allow Pokémon to exert power that doesn't belong to this level, isn't it normal for new Mega Evolutions to have new situations?
The answer to the matter may have to be known when going to the parallel world that established Future Lumiose City.
All Baimu was really interested in this too.
It's just that...
He had to solve another important thing first.
——
Sinnoh region.
The venue for the League Conference, Lily of the Valley Island.
The promotional battle between All Baimu and Cynthia had already spread across the internet, and trainers from all walks of life flocked to it, among whom were even Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.
For example, Sinnoh Elite Four Flint, Bertha, Lucian, and Aaron.
Only Flint remained as an Elite Four member among the current Masters Eight, and the other seven were filled by Champions, from top to bottom are——
Leon, Cynthia, All Baimu, Lance, Diantha, Steven, Iris, and Flint.
If there were no accidents, Flint's position should be taken by Raihan.
Unless Raihan loses to Alain later, in which case Ash would face Alain, competing for the last seat of the Masters Eight.
But it was surprising that Iris could rush up so quickly.
"Elite Four Flint! May I ask what your opinion is on the upcoming match?" A reporter stopped Flint, trying to conduct an interview.
Flint laughed. "My opinion is——sooner or later they will lose to me!"
After saying that, he laughed even more arrogantly.
Making Volkner beside him feel speechless, as if he had seen some kind of dirty thing.
The two are childhood friends; they are childhood friends in games, anime, or manga, and eventually one became an Elite Four member, and the other became the strongest Gym Leader in Sinnoh.
The reporter heard this, but didn't have the excitement of discovering big news; after all, Flint's personality had always been like this, and everyone was long used to it.
She continued to ask: "Who do you think can win the final victory?"
"Of course it's me!"
"Uh, I'm talking about the upcoming match..."
"No matter who it is, the person who wins in the end must be me! Just wait and see!" Flint made a "just wait and see" gesture to the camera.
Then he left the reporter and the cameraman behind, letting the two petrify in the wind, and walked away with Volkner.
After walking far away, Volkner said: "Why do you have to be like this every time?"
"Hahaha, this isn't what the League requested, asking me to create a persona to attract fans."
Flint's personality was still cheerful, but he actually wasn't that arrogant.
It was just following the League's request to create a persona, plus he met Raihan two years ago and felt that the other party's personality was good, so he copied it.
The effect was good, and it really attracted many fans.
Flint almost developed a path dependency.
Volkner had opinions on this; he thought that Flint would easily attract haters, and it would backfire on himself sooner or later.
Alas, it was hard to persuade his good friend, and he also knew that Flint didn't want to worry about this, and copying Raihan was the simplest path.
The two walked toward the arena.
Although the match was tomorrow, many spectators had already arrived, looking at the empty arena below.
"How about we go down and play a round? Let the uncle open a door!"
Flint said excitedly.
His personality was just like the attribute he produced, exceptionally vigorous and fiery, almost unable to calm down.
Volkner shook his head. "Forget it, it's too much trouble, I don't want to be on the Sinnoh Evening News today——"
"It's useless even if you don't want to, you are already the protagonists of the evening news."
A faint voice sounded in his ears.
The two turned their heads and saw Elite Four Lucian, who adjusted his sunglasses and said: "The reporters couldn't find the two Champions, and you two rushed to accept interviews, so they could only publish your photos."
"..."
Volkner's decadent expression revealed a few words of speechlessness.
Unlike the extroverted Flint, his personality was relatively introverted. Once upon a time, because he lost interest in battling, he locked himself in the gym and left the badges at the door for challengers to take.
To be honest, this kind of behavior didn't receive an audit from the League inspector, which could only show that the League still loved talent too much.
Perhaps it had a certain relationship with his good brother being an Elite Four member?
In short, Volkner hated being in the public eye, which also made him constantly refuse to succeed Bertha and become the next Elite Four member.
But Bertha believed that Volkner's attitude would loosen sooner or later, and thought about persuading him from time to time.
For example, now, a gray-haired old woman who was suspected to be a distant relative of Agatha stood beside Lucian, looking at Volkner with a full smile, and Volkner only felt a chill down his spine.
"Uh, where's Aaron?"
He hurriedly changed the subject.
Lucian spread his hands and said with a light smile: "Where else could he be, signing autographs for his fangirls!"
Aaron is an Elite Four member famous for his beauty, and the Sinnoh League's persona for him was also like this. Recently, there was an idea to let him develop in the direction of a model, but Aaron said he would consider it.
As the Elite Four member with the lowest strength in Sinnoh, he also had the ambition to replace Cynthia, and casually getting a side job to interfere with his trainer career made him very hesitant.
At this time, he had just finished signing autographs for the fangirls, enjoying the admiration of thousands of young girls, and when he was secretly happy, he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye.
But in the blink of an eye, the other party disappeared again.
Aaron knew it was absolutely impossible.
He pushed away the fangirls apologetically, walked into the arena to find the other Elite Four members, and said in a low voice: "All Baimu has already arrived!"
"Where is he?"
Flint looked around excitedly; he had long wanted to battle All Baimu, but unfortunately never had the chance.
Aaron shook his head. "Not clear."
Volkner looked at him speechlessly. "You don't know, and you say he arrived?"
"I have a sense! Don't forget! I lost to him in the last season's Masters Eight!" Aaron said seriously: "That kind of terrifying aura, I will never forget it in my life!"
Insects have a perception of life crisis that exceeds ordinary people. Aaron, as a Bug-type master, also continued this point.
His 【Swarm】 told him that the man who had played him in the palm of his hand had arrived!
Flint went out to search without saying a word, and Aaron followed closely.
Volkner and Lucian looked at each other.
Lucian smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and Volkner followed the footsteps of the few people helplessly.
Lucian looked at Bertha again. "Do you want to go together?"
"Hehehe, I don't need to, I can't afford to be tossed." Bertha refused with a smile.
Lucian adjusted his glasses and walked toward the outside of the arena.
However, Lily of the Valley Island was so big, and searching on their own without any clues was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
No matter how they inquired, they ended up with nothing.
After all——
All Baimu was having a secret meeting with Cynthia!
"Half a month no see, how are you preparing?" He asked the heroic beauty in front of him with a smile.
Cynthia said: "You'll know tomorrow."
Doo doo——
Her phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Bertha. After answering, the other party asked for the first time: "Cynthia, is All Baimu with you?"
"How did you know?"
Cynthia glanced at All Baimu and asked in surprise.
Bertha smiled: "Don't forget, I'm good friends with your grandmother."
"Also, how could she not tell you about me?" Cynthia gave an affirmative answer. "I am indeed chatting with him."
While the two were talking, All Baimu and the Poryphone were also communicating.
The Poryphone said: "See that? People Champions have vision! Changed to Poryphone!"
Cynthia used a Rotom Phone before, but looking at it again, it had turned into a Poryphone.
As for the eliminated one, it was estimated to be put on the second-hand market——
"Your contribution is not small, you go everywhere to promote to others to change, sooner or later the Rotom Phone company will send people to assassinate you."
All Baimu praised the Poryphone's contribution.
Sooner or later, Porygon2 could rely on his advantage of seeing Elite Four and Champions everywhere to let them all change their Rotom Phones to Poryphones.
At that time, it was estimated that only those who endorsed it would use Rotom Phones——maybe they would use Poryphones in private?
After all, Rotom Phone is work, Poryphone is life! ===== CHAPTER 1343 =====
