Chapter 1355: A Matter of Convenience

"Chiduo!"

"Shasang!"

Mega Mawile and Hydreigon exchanged a brief communication while retreating.

Both looked simultaneously toward the Complete Form Zygarde, who was also watching them.

The next moment, the three Pokémon continued their fierce assault on the Eternal Flower Floette, their various elemental energies striking the massive Prism Tower so hard it nearly folded in half.

Meanwhile, the rampaging Eternal Flower buds of various colors on the ground were all easily dispatched by All Baimu's Pokémon.

Mega Aggron dragged out a giant flower bud and hammered it until it snapped on the spot.

The girl named Shengcai stared blankly at this scene; beside her was a Mega Dragonite that had just finished its Mega Evolution, yet to launch an attack on the out-of-control Eternal Flower buds.

"So fast!"

Dailuo, Pilu, and their Pokémon hadn't even had a chance to perform.

All Baimu replied, "It's that you are too slow."

When facing danger, one should race against time; once the opponent is identified, one should go all out to finish them off instantly.

He looked up at the animated Prism Tower; the giant flower bud atop it was already completely bent, causing the tower itself to lean significantly.

Clearly, the material of the Prism Tower itself could no longer withstand the fierce onslaught of the three Pokémon above.

To be honest, if Pilu hadn't mentioned that there were still people and Pokémon inside, All Baimu would likely have just let his own Pokémon tear this thing down instead of wasting effort just to stop it.

Machines aren't Pokémon; there's no need to show mercy.

"Wum wum wum—"

A deafening hum suddenly came from the sky. The bent Eternal Flower Floette suddenly opened its petals, continuously drawing energy from the air.

All Baimu realized something was wrong. "Stop it! All-out attack!"

Following his command, the Pokémon on the ground and in the air fired fierce long-range attacks at the open flower bud of the Eternal Flower Floette.

The stunned Zygarde quickly joined in, countless green beams flying over like raindrops.

It was none other than its signature move, 【Thousand Arrows】!

Unexpectedly, the multiple fierce attacks failed to completely interrupt the Eternal Flower Floette's energy accumulation. Like a rampaging sprinkler, it continuously fired scattered pink-purple light waves in all directions, making the entire sky look like a scattering of celestial flowers, with pink-purple stars falling continuously!

The night sky was exceptionally brilliant, yet filled with a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

"Uncle!"

An Xin'er let out a cry of alarm, as the range of the pink-purple stars was extremely wide, seemingly about to fall into the residential areas further away.

All Baimu raised his hand and said, "Don't panic."

Thousand-Universe Arm—

Drive!

The power of the Slate instantly descended upon the future Lumiose City. Zygarde flew toward them in the sky, intending to open a shield to protect them, only to find that a translucent blue light barrier had already covered most of the sky over Lumiose City!

Dong dong dong!

The pink-purple light waves landed on the light barrier, failing to cause any impact on the city below.

Zygarde looked at All Baimu with a hint of disbelief in its eyes.

Shengcai and the others also exclaimed, "What is this?"

All Baimu didn't explain, only asking the Poryphone, "Did you find the people?"

"Found them!"

"Then start dismantling!"

Because the Eternal Flower Floette was a product from thousands of years ago, it was difficult for the Poryphone to infiltrate it via digitization. It had to adopt a slightly clumsier method. Fortunately, the Eternal Flower Floette was an old antique and couldn't produce an "rejection" reaction to foreign matter invading its body.

Inside the Eternal Flower Floette.

A clone of the Poryphone was comforting the orange-haired girl, "Don't be nervous when you hear an explosion in a moment."

"What do you mean don't be nervous? How did you get in!?"

Tani widened her eyes, unable to believe that any Pokémon could break into the body of the animated Eternal Flower Floette.

In an instant, the entire Eternal Flower Floette began to vibrate violently. A terrifying explosion sounded in her ears, and firelight from the explosion burst out before her eyes, scaring Tani in the driver's seat into shrinking her neck.

"What on earth—"

Boom!

The wall shattered, and a shining silver light appeared outside, followed by a huge and ferocious flat head.

Tani cried out, "Mega Steelix? This is near the top of the tower!"

"Flying a bit doesn't count for much. Get ready for an emergency evacuation!" The Poryphone began to assist Tani in leaving the driver's seat.

Multiple circuits under the seat were destroyed instantly, and Tani successfully regained her freedom.

But she was unwilling to leave. "Floette! Floette is still trapped!"

The Eternal Flower Floette had merged with Floette, leading to this disaster. She had chosen to come in precisely to resolve the incident.

How could she abandon it!

"Rest assured, All Baimu will solve it. Children should have the self-awareness of children." The Poryphone forcibly controlled Tani, making her ride on the head of the Mega Steelix.

Tani struggled wildly, "Don't make decisions on your own! And who is All Baimu! I don't know him at all!"

However, she had already been taken away by the Mega Steelix and successfully returned to the ground.

And after regaining her freedom, she looked back, only to find that the Eternal Flower Floette had been dismantled almost completely!

Yes, dismantled in the literal sense!

The structural components of the entire Prism Tower had been completely stripped away, leaving only vines supporting the tottering tower body, preventing the load-bearing pillars from snapping completely.

The Eternal Flower Floette fell into a long silence.

The Poryphone said, "Should be solved, right? The machine isn't moving anymore."

"You jinx."

All Baimu flicked it.

Sensing its own crisis, the Eternal Flower Floette once again attempted to launch a destructive attack.

Its flower bud aimed at the sky, and astonishing pale white energy gathered at the core at high speed, causing the people on the ground to change color.

"It's the Light of Ruin! Oh no! Lumiose City will be completely destroyed!"

Pilu said urgently.

Shengcai was silent, looking down at the small stone Zygarde had given her earlier. In an instant, it shone brightly!

The small stone suddenly turned into a crystal-clear Mega Stone!

Zygarde reacted, turning around to look at Shengcai for the first time. After the two made eye contact, they nodded at each other.

"Mega! Evolution!"

Under the gaze of the surrounding people, Zygarde's appearance changed dramatically, turning from Freedom Gundam to a human-sized cannon in the blink of an eye.

It was clearly prepared to deal with the 【Light of Ruin】 that the Eternal Flower Floette was about to release!

But just when everyone thought this cannon blast was inevitable, the silent All Baimu suddenly spoke, "Found it."

"Found what?"

Tani quickly looked at this completely strange man.

Instead, the giant flower bud of the Eternal Flower Floette flickered like a power outage, and after a few seconds, it went dim directly.

The flower bud held high drooped down.

"..."

Shengcai and Mega Zygarde, who were ready to go, suddenly turned their heads, "What did you do?"

"Pacification."

All Baimu's hand was held in the air, as if he had grabbed something.

Before others could continue to ask, a bolt of lightning flew down from the top of the tower; it was the Poryphone, which had become flat.

On its back was the sleeping Mega Floette.

Tani cried out, "Did you save it?"

"Yeah." All Baimu nodded, then said regretfully, "Still not very proficient; this move has very little effect on ancient devices."

After discovering that the Eternal Flower Floette was out of control and rampaging, he had tried to use the power of the Slate to pacify it, but unfortunately, it had little effect.

It wasn't until the Poryphone confirmed the locations of Tani and Mega Floette that he connected to the Eternal Flower Floette through Mega Floette, gradually causing this nearly shattered ancient device to completely quiet down.

An Xin'er smiled, "That's already very amazing, Uncle! You saved Lumiose City!"

Although it looked like Mega Zygarde could also solve the incident, it didn't seem as easy as All Baimu.

Holographic projections appeared continuously. When they saw the strange All Baimu and An Xin'er, they all expressed their confusion.

All Baimu took the initiative to introduce his background, "I come from a parallel world; my name is All Baimu."

"Parallel world!?"

Everyone around was surprised.

Some with broad knowledge could understand the concept of a parallel world, while others had never heard of it at all.

At the same time, All Baimu's gaze locked onto a corner.

"Lysandre?"

He had actually seen him before, but because the other's hair color and demeanor were different from the past, he couldn't be entirely sure.

He even suspected for a moment that the other was Lysandre's younger brother.

Just like Professor Oak and his cousin far away in the Alola region.

Now that the incident was resolved, All Baimu went to confirm the other's identity, while also confirming that the other recognized him too.

"It seems my memory was correct, All Baimu."

Lysandre stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here; it really surprises me."

"I should be the one saying that. When I heard you were missing, I thought you were going to hide again to stir up trouble. I didn't expect you to come to a parallel world. What? Is this related to you again?" All Baimu looked at this old lion.

The other's temperament was too different from the past. He used to be like an ambitious, sharp-edged overlord; now he looked like a homeless person on the side of the road...

Even his clothes were tattered.

Before Lysandre could speak, Shengcai, who seemed taciturn, hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, "No! F helped us and Zygarde!"

It turned out that after he arrived in this world, he started helping Zygarde find its cells again, but this time it was to save Lumiose City, not to control Zygarde like in this world.

All Baimu couldn't help but look at the Zygarde of the parallel world, "You are really trusting."

"..."

Zygarde didn't reply.

Tani and the others looked at the decadent Lysandre, finding it hard to imagine that this man was once the leader of Team Flare.

The people in the holographic projections were equally surprised.

As everyone was talking, the "power-off" Eternal Flower Floette began to disintegrate, like a bridge built of building blocks that had reached its limit, collapsing completely.

This also meant that the crisis in the future Lumiose City was completely resolved.

Today was another peaceful day.

All Baimu took a deep look at Lysandre, instinctively wanting to kill this old lion, but his intuition told him that the other had already changed.

Lysandre's expression was calm; even sensing the aura of danger, he still had no intention of arguing.

In his mind, the recovered memories were becoming more and more numerous.

He even recalled All Baimu's mocking words during the final battle, which made Lysandre's calm face tremble slightly.

He was no longer as crazy as he was at the beginning; recalling the past, he only wanted to sigh deeply.

Sometimes people cannot understand their past selves.

And because of the killing intent that flashed through All Baimu's heart, Shengcai and the others didn't dare to say anything, only looking at the former with a horrified gaze.

What is this guy's background?

Parallel world?

Are there such powerful Trainers in the parallel world?

Finally, Tani spoke first, "Uh, thank you for this time, Mr. All Baimu."

"It's nothing, just a matter of convenience."

All Baimu waved his hand indifferently, looking around, "Are there any follow-up problems to solve?"

"Should be none."

As Tani said this, the elevator behind her suddenly opened, and an old man with a hunched back but still tall walked over.

His gaze locked onto All Baimu, "I didn't expect to meet a friend from another world."

"You know me?"

"I just saw your appearance."

AZ shook his head. He had always been watching the Eternal Flower Floette, naturally discovering the situation where An Xin'er and Hoopa sneaked into the Prism Tower to go to the parallel world, and the fact that there was an extra All Baimu after returning.

He at most knew Hoopa.

All Baimu nodded, "I've long admired your name, Mr. AZ. I didn't expect that you, who have lived for three thousand years, would also have a time when you are frail."

The aura of decay on the other was too obvious, as if he would soon be on the verge of death.

AZ was not surprised that the other knew him, chuckling, "I have fulfilled my wish and have no regrets. As a human, naturally, there is a time to grow old."

He had received Floette's forgiveness, putting a period to his three-thousand-year journey, so naturally, he had no regrets.

AZ gladly accepted the impending death, and he looked at Lysandre obscurely, "And my successor has already appeared."

Successor?

All Baimu looked at the silent Lysandre, thinking that the other wouldn't be like his ancestor, living for three thousand years, would he?

Your lineage of humans is really durable!

He didn't say anything more, "Since the incident has been resolved, everyone shouldn't just stand here like fools. Disperse if you should!"

"Can you not leave yet? Stay and see the future Lumiose!" An Xin'er hurriedly raised her head and said.

After experiencing this incident, she had become closer to All Baimu and really didn't want to separate from him too quickly.

And as she spoke, Youzi in the projection also said, "Yes, guest from the parallel world, please let me, as a socialite of Lumiose City, treat you well and thank you for your help."

"That! How about coming to our Super Z Team!"

Tani suddenly recommended herself, "It's so late, and the people in Lumiose City have basically dispersed, so it's hard to find a place to rest peacefully. Come to our place! We have plenty of rooms!"

She winked at Pilu and the others.

Pilu and Dailuo looked at each other, finally looking at Shengcai.

Shengcai looked at All Baimu with some curiosity in her eyes, agreeing with Tani's suggestion, "If you don't mind, please come to our place. I am also a visiting traveler."

"An Xin'er?"

All Baimu didn't mind where he stayed, so he lowered his head to ask for An Xin'er's opinion.

An Xin'er naturally wouldn't refuse.

She actually knew this group of Super Z Team; these people were very famous in Lumiose City. If she hadn't met All Baimu, she would have actually wanted to seek help from the Super Z Team.

Who would have thought that an accidental experience would allow her to form a bond with All Baimu first.

After deciding on the destination.

Everyone didn't talk much more, deciding to rest first and leave the ruins to be handled tomorrow.

The Eternal Flower Floette had really worn them out.

All Baimu followed behind the few teenagers, curious about one thing.

Where were the adults of Lumiose City?

How come only a group of the old, weak, sick, and disabled were left? ===== CHAPTER 1356 =====
