Chapter 1362
Hilda had been at the Orre Academy for almost a week.
Although she was both anxious and confused when she first got off the plane, she had slowly gotten used to it now.
There was nothing bad about this place.
The environment was unfamiliar, but she was surrounded by familiar friends and family, and being in distant Orre, she didn't have to worry about some group popping up to cause trouble under the pretext of settling scores.
What made her happiest was that the academy, located on an isolated island, was vast and sparsely populated, yet there were many, many wild Pokémon. For example, in the courtyard where she was at the moment, she could see a large number of Grass and Bug-type Pokémon.
They were all very friendly, and Hilda loved coming here to play with them.
At the moment.
"Bli~ Bli Bli~"
Two Cutiefly were smiling as they put a flower crown on her. Hilda checked herself in her phone screen, beaming: "So pretty~ Everyone is so enthusiastic~ Thank you so much~"
Suddenly, the corner of her eye caught something through the phone screen, and she turned her head with a slight change in expression, immediately colliding with a pair of calm, indifferent eyes.
Hilda subconsciously gripped her phone tightly, her body trembling slightly.
A stranger…
The other party was riding an unfamiliar Pokémon, with his hand in his pocket, seemingly preparing to pull something out.
Hilda quickly associated this with the other party wanting to battle and then capture the wild Pokémon in the garden.
No, no!
She hurriedly looked at the wild Pokémon around her: "Everyone!"
The scene before her shocked her.
Because when the wild Pokémon saw that man, not only did they not show a wary expression or run away, but they instead walked toward him with happy steps.
An incomprehensible language flooded her ears.
"You all know me? Where did you come from? Pokémon Paradise? Seems like I haven't seen you guys at Mt. Silver."
Hilda watched helplessly as the man pulled a pile of Pokéblocks from his pocket and threw them in handfuls toward the wild Pokémon, acting as casually as if he were feeding chickens.
Their eyes met again, and Hilda suddenly felt that the other party looked a bit familiar.
"Prin, Principal!?"
She remembered.
The other party was the principal of this Orre Academy, and one of the strongest Trainers today, All Baimu!
Hilda suddenly became a bit embarrassed, stood up awkwardly, her fingers constantly twisting due to nervousness: "That…"
All Baimu smiled at her: "Hello, student, what's your name?"
"My name is Hilda…"
Hilda lowered her head, completely failing to notice someone's strange expression.
To think it's another female protagonist.
Looking at the girl's iconic meat-bun-shaped twin tails, yellow culottes, and black leggings, All Baimu was completely convinced.
Compared to Hotel Z, the house Diantha left for An Xin'er must be much more comfortable.
The anime handing the female lead position of the season to a Gym Leader wasn't any special situation, even if the female leads of the previous two seasons were the female protagonists of the games.
Who let Misty, the precedent, exist in the original series?
Of course, the problem with the original series was that the protagonist of the first generation couldn't choose to be female, and the initial Gold and Silver versions of the second generation couldn't either; you had to wait for the Crystal version to appear to be able to choose a female.
But after having a female protagonist, the female lead position in the anime had always been hers. Who could have thought that the Best Wishes of the Black and White chapter would routinely follow the ancestral method.
The result was naturally a big mess.
Not only was the length of the Team Plasma vs. Team Rocket battle deleted, but later they also used a baffling map to make up the numbers, and Ash's performance in the League was also at its worst.
It was completely unworthy of the game quality of Black and White and Black and White 2.
Influenced by the anime, All Baimu thought that Hilda, a female character with not-low popularity, didn't exist, but he didn't expect that she actually did.
And judging by the current situation, it seemed to be the Special version of Hilda.
But the name hadn't changed.
All Baimu remembered that the Special version liked to give the male and female protagonists game names; Hilda was changed to White, which was the English pronunciation of White 2.
"I won't disturb you guys, have fun."
He stroked the heads of the Cutiefly and other wild Pokémon, withdrew his gaze from the Foongus on her head, and rode Miraidon away.
Hilda bowed deeply to his back, and after a long time, she finally raised her head and let out a deep breath: "So nervous… I was really so rude."
She said with extreme frustration.
The wild Pokémon returned to Hilda's side, happily sharing the food they had just received with Hilda.
"Chu Chu!"
"Bli~"
You got food, big sister! Let's eat together!
Hilda saw this and waved her hands in surprise: "Eh? No need, no need, everyone enjoy it yourselves."
However, she couldn't refuse successfully; the wild Pokémon wanted to share with her too much, so Hilda had to eat with them with a bitter face.
Her Foongus, however, was eating with great gusto; after all, All Baimu had added secret seasonings to the Pokéblocks, so even the ordinary ones were delicious.
"Principal All Baimu."
Hilda muttered while chewing.
——
Main teaching building.
All Baimu arrived at the Vice Principal's office.
After all, in the Pokémon series, the protagonist is nine times out of ten an outsider.
He knocked lightly on the door, waking the other party from their immersion.
"Who?"
Alder looked up, and when he discovered it was All Baimu, he immediately stood up with a smile and greeted him: "What a rare guest, our Orre Academy's principal, finally appeared!"
All Baimu was sweating profusely: "Sorry…"
"Hahaha! Just kidding! I know you're preparing for the World Coronation Series!" Alder took the initiative to reach out.
The two shook hands in a friendly manner.
Alder smiled and said: "Since Principal Ardos entrusted me to help manage the academy, you can rest assured. I don't have other skills, but I have a knack for battling and teaching students."
"With you here, I'm extremely relieved!"
All Baimu said sincerely: "You are a senior, and I also have to learn from you in this regard."
"Good, good, good! You really suit my taste. To be honest, when I heard you wanted to start a school, I asked around about you."
Alder was the kind of straightforward person who said whatever was on his mind: "Let me ask you a presumptuous question, why do you want to start a school?"
All Baimu said honestly: "At first, I didn't think about doing it on such a large scale; I was only prepared to pass on some of the skills I knew to avoid them being lost. I didn't expect Ardos to say that if we were going to do it, we should do it big…"
And then it turned from a small school into the regional Orre Academy.
Upon hearing this, Alder smiled even more heartily: "Having a heart for inheritance is a good thing! I also started as a small teacher back then. You can start from a higher point, and you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future."
"You flatter me, you flatter me, you are a great senior."
All Baimu waved his hand modestly.
The two praised each other for a long time before they started talking about students and teachers.
Currently, the first batch of students had generally arrived, and the school staff had basically arrived, preparing to officially start school before the year-end assembly.
"But after the assembly is the New Year holiday, right?" All Baimu's expression was strange.
After the assembly ended was the New Year, and people in many regions would give themselves a holiday, and Orre was no exception.
Alder smiled and said: "Then we'll just have a holiday."
Starting school and then immediately having a holiday, is there something wrong with that…
All Baimu was speechless.
But considering that in the Pokémon world, whether it's a cultural school or a Pokémon school, the coursework isn't very heavy, so having a holiday not long after starting school doesn't really count for much.
"I'll listen to your arrangements." He had no objections.
Afterward, the two discussed some other things about the school, and All Baimu found that Alder had basically handled everything; the meaning of his existence was to nod and sign.
To some extent, this could be considered a figurehead position, but All Baimu didn't care.
On one hand, he trusted Alder and Ardos, and on the other hand, even if the academy didn't belong to him, it didn't matter.
All Baimu only wanted to pass on the things in his mind properly.
From his own office, the Poryphone extracted the roster of staff and students.
Among them were many familiar names, and even Alder's grandson, Benga.
What is he coming to school for?
Wouldn't it be better to just go out and travel honestly?
All Baimu guessed that it was probably Alder who made him come, but would this child, who looked full of wildness, agree?
Tap tap tap—Bang!
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a vibrant young voice came over.
"Champion! Please battle me!"
Speak of the devil, appearing outside the door was none other than Alder's grandson, the punk-styled young man, Benga.
The other party had a mohawk like a flame, his clothes and pants looked tattered, he had a circle of Poké Balls tied around his neck like his grandfather, and he was even carrying firewood on his back!
All Baimu was curious: "Why are you carrying firewood?"
"To make a fire and cook!"
The young man said righteously: "Has the Champion never lived in the wild?"
All Baimu raised his hand: "Wait a minute, you are in school now, not in the wild, why do you need to use firewood to make a fire?"
"I'm not used to it!"
Benga said with justification.
Alright.
A problem child.
All Baimu suddenly realized the reason Alder made him come to the academy.
It's not that he can't make a fire, but there are more convenient things in the school, why stubbornly make a fire himself?
Want to burn the school down?
Sometimes being too maverick will instead make you drift further and further away from the social environment.
But humans are different from Pokémon; they are social creatures.
"I'll battle you, just don't set fire to the school." All Baimu tried to set conditions for him.
Benga stared: "I wouldn't burn the school!"
"What if you do?"
"I wouldn't!"
"What if."
"Then I'll put out the fire!"
"What about property damage? What about casualties?"
"I'll pay—ah!! So troublesome! You just don't want to battle me!" Benga scratched his messy hair frantically.
All Baimu stood up and said: "Who said that? I just don't want you to play with fire casually. Do you know the saying about playing with fire and wetting your pants?"
"Huh?"
Benga looked at his crotch straightforwardly.
The Poryphone couldn't bear to watch; why is this young man so dense?
All Baimu walked out of the office, and Benga hurriedly followed with the firewood on his back, actively greeting one or two students he saw along the way.
"Student, are you free? Come watch me battle."
Some students were awkward, some were straightforward.
But regardless, as long as he invited them, no student would refuse.
Benga was puzzled by his behavior: "Why are you calling so many people? Want them to see me make a fool of myself?"
Benga suspected that All Baimu had a prejudice against him and wanted to humiliate him in public; there were people like that in the school he attended before, but unfortunately, he beat them up.
All Baimu looked at him strangely: "Little student, I am the principal. What's wrong with letting students watch me battle and learn things from me?"
"Huh? Oh, oh!"
Benga also just realized the other party's identity.
Why did he forget?
Benga suddenly felt that All Baimu seemed to be quite different from the teachers and principals he had met before, and different from his grandfather.
The Orre Academy had many designated battle points, and the two chose one at random and prepared to start the battle.
This time, All Baimu brought Flutter Mane along after a long time.
The evil big Drifloon missed him and wouldn't let go of him.
He simply brought it over here.
"Hmph! Don't think that just because you're the Champion, you can look down on me! Go, Larvesta!" Benga released his Pokémon with great confidence.
Bang!
A flash of light passed.
The Pokémon that entered the field was none other than the pre-evolution of Volcarona, Larvesta.
All Baimu didn't rush to give orders, but first let Benga wait a moment, turned his head to ask the surrounding students if they recognized these two Pokémon.
Although it was inevitable that they would mistake Flutter Mane for Jigglypuff, they basically all recognized Gabite and could state the types corresponding to it and Jigglypuff.
Flutter Mane had some complaints about this and hissed at those students.
But it still made him very gratified: "Looks like everyone's foundation is pretty good!"
Stronger than Ash!
The novice Ash was a black hole of Pokémon knowledge; it was hard to understand how he, as a Pokémon enthusiast who was determined to go out and travel, couldn't even recognize all the Kanto Pokémon.
Benga waited impatiently and shouted: "Are you going to fight or not! You must be looking down on me!"
"The referee hasn't called start, what are you rushing for? You don't have any patience, how can you raise Pokémon? If your Pokémon can't learn moves for a long time, do you scold it like this?" All Baimu asked back.
Benga broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously took a step back: "W-where! You're framing me! This isn't the same thing at all! It's clearly you who doesn't respect your opponent!"
"See the big picture from the small, and the match hasn't started yet." All Baimu pointed to the Poryphone acting as the referee.
The Poryphone immediately announced: "The match begins!"
"You hateful guy! Flare Blitz!"
Benga didn't care whether the other party was the Champion or not, and immediately ordered Larvesta to give Flutter Mane a good look.
Larvesta crawled forward quickly, flames gradually ignited outside its snow-white body hair, and it accelerated to fly toward Flutter Mane!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Its charge left a trail of scorched earth, which was quite cool.
All Baimu stood with his hands on his hips, and the moment Larvesta approached within a certain distance, he spoke: "Boomburst."
"Ee—"
Flutter Mane, who was angry, inhaled sharply, causing its body to expand rapidly, and then, before Benga could open his mouth as his expression changed drastically, it suddenly shouted!
"Ah!!"
"Larvesta…"
Benga's voice was drowned out in the pure white sonic boom; the visible sonic shockwave not only dispersed the flames on Larvesta's body but also sent it flying, directly crashing into Benga.
Poof!
The two fell to the ground together.
"Hm?" All Baimu paused for a moment.
The surrounding students covered their ears, watching this scene in amazement.
What a powerful Boomburst, it broke the opponent's skill directly!
All Baimu looked around and asked the students again what type the move just now was and what effect it had.
It was just like an on-site lecture.
The continuous responses also satisfied All Baimu; there were no complete illiterates, which was great!
On the other side, the dizzy Benga couldn't recover for a long time.
