Chapter 1361: Another

Tani inheriting Broadstar Company?

All Baimu looked at Tani, who was lying on the sofa with her eyes blankly staring at the ceiling, and said, "Lumiose City is going to be surnamed after you now."

"What?"

Shengcai didn't understand.

The Poryphone explained, "You are now the new boss of the Rust Group, and Tani is about to become the new president of Broadstar Company, doesn't that mean you dominate the black and white paths of Lumiose City?"

Dailuo and Pilu looked at each other.

"Seems like it really is!" Dailuo tapped her palm with her fist, her eyes shining, "Then won't we be able to do whatever we want in the future?"

Pilu tapped her head, causing the latter to cover her head in pain, "Just a joke."

Shengcai didn't commit, looking at Tani, "When are you planning to leave?"

"As soon as possible..."

She exhaled a turbid breath, put a smile back on her face, and said, "Guys! I will return as early as possible!"

An Xin'er whispered, "Tani sister is going to take over soon."

Because Tani had helped Broadstar president Mascato a lot before, and had served as the bodyguard of president Jieduo, she was familiar with the company's processes and could take office without training.

Tani herself didn't expect that an unintentional part-time job would allow her to have a connection with her grandmother in advance.

Perhaps this is the destiny of a peck and a drink.

All Baimu looked at Tani and Shengcai, inexplicably thinking of himself and Ardos, "..."

Is it time to go back.

He subconsciously felt that this was some kind of hint.

The parallel world has many places worth exploring, but now is not a good time.

After all, he broke into the future Lumiose by mistake to rescue An Xin'er.

It's time to go back to where he came from.

Time came to the night.

The farewell dinner was made by Baim

The four little ones of the Super Z Team were eating like crazy, even casting aside the melancholy of their impending separation, treating the farewell banquet as a victory celebration. Of course, their separation from Tani was indeed only temporary.

The one truly saying a final goodbye was AZ, the owner of Hotel Z.

It was just that this old man's life was coming to an end, and to avoid affecting Shengcai and the others, he chose to go elsewhere to peacefully accept his passing.

His legacy was this large house named Hotel Z and his beloved Pokémon, Eternal Flower Floette.

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, All Baimu stated his intention to leave.

"Eh?"

The group grabbing food at the dining table froze.

Tani and Dailuo silently climbed down from the table, Pilu quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, Shengcai quietly retracted the fork that had touched the food, and after the few of them looked at each other, they tacitly looked at An Xin'er.

An Xin'er didn't speak, chewing on a roasted berry in small bites, having long anticipated All Baimu's plan.

It was just that as she ate, her eyes inevitably turned red.

Although the time they had known each other was short, there are always some people with whom you can leave memories worth remembering for a lifetime in just a few days.

"Alright, it's not like we're parting forever. With Hoopa here, if you're willing, you can come to the parallel world to find me at any time."

All Baimu patted An Xin'er's head.

He unexpectedly liked this little girl very much, feeling that she was both well-behaved and cute, and also very considerate of others.

If she didn't belong to that world of theirs, he would actually have liked to whisk An Xin'er away.

"Mm."

An Xin'er sniffled.

It was indeed as All Baimu said; Hoopa could take her to the parallel world, so this would definitely not be the last time they saw each other.

The Super Z Team and the others also breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Tani said regretfully: "If only you were willing to stay, I still wanted to invite you to join the Super Z Team."

"Yeah, yeah, that way we wouldn't have to eat Tani's curry every day," Dailuo complained.

Eating curry every day was almost giving her psychological trauma.

All Baimu smiled and said: "Sure, if you don't mind having an extra non-staff member."

As soon as these words were out, Tani's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course, please consider me one of your members." All Baimu didn't mind joining the Super Z Team.

This would also make it easier for him to poach people in the future.

At this stage, he definitely couldn't poach them; they had pursuits and dreams, and Lumiose City still had various events waiting for Shengcai, the protagonist, to handle.

To be fair, it wasn't that All Baimu didn't want to poach adults, it was just that most adults in the Pokémon world already had jobs.

Freelancers like Looker were few and far between.

Late at night.

All Baimu and An Xin'er arrived above Prism Tower once again.

Hoopa ate the donut she had specially made for it and successfully opened the gate to the parallel world.

The Poryphone flew in at the first opportunity to confirm, so as to avoid them traveling to other parallel worlds.

"It's Orre with Ardos; it's our world, alright."

In All Baimu's world, the development of Orre could be said to be unique among all worlds; regardless of the parallel worlds encountered previously, or the parallel world where An Xin'er was, the development of the Orre region was not this good.

It could only be said that while it seemed All Baimu hadn't made any powerful contributions, in reality, the many changes in Orre were all closely related to him.

"Take good care of yourself. If you need any help, entrust it to your companions in the Super Z Team. I'll come to see you when I have time."

All Baimu gently stroked An Xin'er's head, and seeing her nod without a word, he couldn't help but pinch her soft cheek: "If you ever come over one day, remember to contact me or your aunt."

An Xin'er remained in low spirits.

All Baimu could only coax her gently, just like he would his own Pokémon.

It unexpectedly worked; An Xin'er gradually accepted the separation and watched silently as his figure disappeared into the air.

She herself, supported by a Poryphone clone, slowly descended to the bottom.

An Xin'er didn't speak for a long time.

Hoopa watched her with worry, feeling that the other party not crying was even more worrying than if she had.

"—I will definitely do my best!"

An Xin'er suddenly wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at Hoopa, and said: "Hoopa! When I grow up! Let's go on an adventure in the outside world!"

"Huh? Oh!"

Hoopa didn't understand, but it agreed anyway.

An Xin'er, having regained her energy, glanced at her phone, and after confirming the time her mother finished work, walked toward Hotel Z.

Her idea had never changed, but one more had been added—

Must grow up, must become powerful! Go find Uncle All Baimu!

——

Original world.

All Baimu returned to the top of Prism Tower; compared to the night in the future Lumiose City, the sky here was still clear and cloudless.

Of course, the time had become the afternoon of the next day.

He took the elevator to the Gym, and it just so happened that Clemont was hosting a challenger, with his sister Bonnie watching from the side.

Bonnie, who also saw him, was very surprised: "You haven't left yet? Big Brother All Baimu!"

After sending An Xin'er back yesterday, All Baimu had disappeared without a trace; the siblings just thought he had returned to Orre and didn't pay much attention.

"An accident happened..."

He explained briefly and asked: "Do you know about the Ultimate Weapon?"

Bonnie, whose small mouth was agape in surprise, became confused: "Ultimate Weapon? What's that?"

All Baimu: "A very ancient machine. I saw Prism Tower come alive in the parallel world, and it nearly destroyed Lumiose City."

"…Clembot!!"

Bonnie suddenly shouted, giving Clemont and the challenger, who were in the middle of a battle, a jump.

Clemont said with annoyance: "Bonnie! Didn't I tell you not to—huh? All Baimu?"

"Who? All Baimu? Champion All Baimu? Where?"

The challenger's eyes lit up, and not caring that the battle had been interrupted, he quickly looked toward the spectator stands.

When he saw the illustrious Orre Champion All Baimu right there in the stands, watching his match, the challenger was immediately like someone injected with adrenaline, frantically ordering his Pokémon to attack fiercely.

The Pokémon felt the Trainer's momentum and also displayed an extraordinary level of performance, beating Clemont's Pokémon back step by step.

Although Clemont quickly turned his attention back to the match, facing the challenger's wild assault, he was ultimately defeated.

"Won! Hahaha!"

The challenger laughed uncontrollably, and gratefully bowed to All Baimu in the spectator stands repeatedly, his head bobbing like a pestle.

It made All Baimu quite embarrassed, and he could only wave his hand to indicate that it was enough.

After the match ended, the challenger ran over to ask for an autograph and a photo before leaving with satisfaction.

Clemont looked at Bonnie with a bit of anger, and Bonnie immediately hid behind All Baimu, explaining the reason.

"Sorry..." All Baimu hadn't expected Bonnie to be so mischievous even though she was almost ten years old; fortunately, it hadn't affected the outcome of the match.

He could tell that the challenger himself possessed the strength to defeat the Lumiose Gym.

Unless Clemont stubbornly didn't want to give it, the result of the match wouldn't have changed much.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Clemont waved his hand, remembered what his sister had said, and muttered: "The Ultimate Weapon, huh… so that's its name."

Bonnie said in surprise: "Eh? Does it really exist?"

"It does."

Clemont nodded and said: "When I took over the Gym from Dad and was renovating it, I discovered that there was some kind of special device inside Prism Tower."

"And then?"

"And then I avoided these devices and carried out other renovations."

"Didn't go to the League to ask?"

"…I really didn't."

Clemont scratched his head in embarrassment, which left All Baimu speechless. Do people in the Pokémon world like to just cast aside or solve problems themselves when they encounter trouble?

He recounted what had happened in the parallel world, and after Clemont learned of it, he said: "Then the Ultimate Weapon here shouldn't lose control."

The young man smiled and said: "Because the Giant Rock in Lumiose hasn't been destroyed, naturally it hasn't absorbed that much Mega Energy, and there aren't a large number of wild Pokémon in the city. Overall, it should continue to sleep."

"That's true, but I suggest you dismantle it."

All Baimu patted his shoulder earnestly: "You wouldn't want to wake up one day and find your whole house flying into the sky."

Clemont: "…"

Bonnie raised her hand and shouted: "Bonnie wants to take a look at the Ultimate Weapon!"

"—No." Clemont refused subconsciously, then remembered that the Ultimate Weapon here was just a powered-down machine with no energy supply.

He agreed.

Of course, he was actually curious himself.

Clemont turned and ran into his lab to rummage around, and after tossing and turning for a long time without success, Clembot found the thing he wanted for him.

"Ah! Thanks!"

In the young man's hand was the structural blueprint of Prism Tower, which clearly depicted the sleeping Ultimate Weapon, with its control center located at the top of the tower.

The three of them arrived at the top of the tower, and after digging through a certain wall, they successfully found the "cockpit" of the Ultimate Weapon.

Bonnie was thrilled: "So cool, so handsome! Like a robot!"

She ran and jumped to the pilot's seat, looked at the touchpad in front of her, and touched it, but there was no response.

This left Bonnie quite disappointed.

"As expected, no energy?"

"If there were energy, your house would have exploded. Little girl, you're too bold," the Poryphone said gloomily: "I already told you about the disaster in the future Lumiose City, and you're still so carefree."

Bonnie made a face at it: "Bonnie definitely heard Brother say it couldn't be activated before trying it, you idiot!"

"Hey!"

The Poryphone was quite angered by this mischievous child and grew a large hand to flick Bonnie's head.

Bonnie covered her head and screamed: "Ah! You're bullying people! Bonnie won't let you off!"

Then the two of them started making a scene in the cockpit.

Just like kids in kindergarten.

Clemont was already used to his unruly sister and silently began researching with Clembot: "Can this device benefit all the people of Kalos?"

"That's what they say, but thousands of years have passed, how many machines can remain undamaged?" All Baimu chuckled.

Clemont clenched his fists: "Now it's science… alright."

He interrupted his own chanting and sighed.

Clemont also realized that the Ultimate Weapon wasn't one of his little inventions; if not used well, it could really cause some kind of harm to Kalos.

If something Lysandre couldn't accomplish ended up being accomplished by him, Clemont, that would be very funny.

All Baimu reviewed the internal structure of the Ultimate Weapon and didn't stay at Prism Tower for long, only warning Clemont and Bonnie not to let it have a chance to absorb excessive Mega Energy before dismantling it.

"Don't worry! Bonnie and I definitely won't let it lose control."

Clemont gently stroked Bonnie's head.

Bonnie giggled and said: "Yeah, Big Brother All Baimu, don't worry, Bonnie doesn't want to see any accidents."

Although she was carefree, she could distinguish what was important.

The next day.

All Baimu, having said goodbye to the Clemont siblings, returned to Orre and contacted Ardos.

Ardos inquired and immediately told him to go take a look at the Orre Academy.

"Your first batch of students has already arrived."

"What?"

All Baimu was stunned; he, the principal, wasn't even there, and the students had arrived ahead of schedule?

Ardos only urged him to go quickly.

All Baimu didn't chat any longer, rode his Hydreigon back to Mt. Silver, and switched to Miraidon to rush to the Orre Academy.

Not to mention, from Phenac City to Mt. Silver and then to the overseas Orre Academy was just on the way.

And when he arrived at the pier, he happened to see two unfamiliar young men fishing lazily.

It was worth noting that these two were wearing Team Neo Plasma uniforms.

"You guys…"

"Champion! No, that's not right! Principal!"

The young men were startled to see All Baimu appear out of nowhere, but soon stood up to greet him.

Seeing their awkward appearance, All Baimu didn't disturb their good mood, said "Hello, students," and rode Miraidon toward the teaching building.

Passing through a garden, he inexplicably saw a familiar back, and on an impulse, had Miraidon stop, quietly approaching.

At the same time, Hilda was chatting with the wild Pokémon in the garden, with her Foongus—Shroomy—on her head.

"Everyone is so enthusiastic, thank you very much~"
