Chapter 1363

"Larvesta! Damn it…"

Benga recovered from the dizziness, only to find that Larvesta had lost consciousness.

Although he was very clear about the gap between himself and the Champion, being defeated in one move made him both angry and powerless.

"Again!"

Benga stood up abruptly, and after recalling the Larvesta in his arms, he turned and released his second Pokémon.

"Gabite!"

The upright Gabite hissed.

All Baimu raised his eyebrows and looked at the surrounding students: "Can anyone tell me what Pokémon this is? What type is it?"

"I know! Gabite!"

"Dragon! Dragon and Ground-type Pokémon!"

The students answered enthusiastically; the vast majority of these people were wearing Team Neo Plasma uniforms, with a style similar to medieval believers.

Of course, their original Team Plasma badges on their chests were gone, replaced by another pattern.

All Baimu turned back to look at Benga, finding the latter full of resentment, constantly muttering about how he was looking down on him again.

And Gabite had disappeared, with only a small hole visible on the ground.

Flutter Mane alertly pricked up its ears to listen to the movement underground, its round body turning slowly.

He smiled: "Fly up, Flutter Mane."

"Ee-ah?"

Flutter Mane looked at its Trainer blankly, then, as if realizing something, inhaled deeply, and in the blink of an eye, its body expanded to the size of a small hot air balloon.

Its whole body gradually left the ground, floating above the field.

All Baimu said to the students exclaiming around him: "Did you see that? A qualified Trainer must not only use the right moves but also utilize the Pokémon's own power."

"…"

Benga was dumbfounded, and seeing Flutter Mane lying on its back facing the sky with its back to the ground, he suddenly realized that the situation was not good.

He shouted: "Don't come out, Gabite!"

But it was already too late; Gabite, located underground, sensed through the organs on both sides of its head that Flutter Mane was no longer moving, and immediately broke through the ground to launch a fierce charge!

"Gabite!"

Gabite howled loudly, but there was no opponent on the ground, only a huge pink shadow cast from the sky.

All Baimu said: "Dazzling Gleam."

"Ee—ah!!"

Flutter Mane opened its mouth to exhale, driving itself, which was bursting with rainbow-like brilliance, to smash toward the ground.

Gabite, which was subconsciously trying to burrow underground, had a stiff expression.

Thud!

The shining stars rushed straight into the sky!

Smoke rose, rushing toward the students watching the battle; some covered their mouths in time, some didn't react and started coughing.

But without exception, their expressions were very excited.

After a while, the smoke dissipated.

Flutter Mane, having finished exhaling, returned to its original state, and beside it was the small land dragon Gabite, which had been crushed into the soil.

"Ee-ah!"

Flutter Mane proudly raised its small hands; if it didn't lack fingers, it would have already started making a V-sign.

The students applauded in admiration.

"So powerful!"

"The Principal's Jigglypuff is too strong! Both cute and strong!"

"Ee-ah!?"

Flutter Mane turned around, glaring angrily at the student who called it Jigglypuff.

The other party shrank back, not understanding what they had done wrong; they were clearly praising it, right?

All Baimu smiled: "Don't be nervous, this guy doesn't like others calling it Jigglypuff—are there any students who know its real name?"

Not a single person recognized it.

He introduced: "Its name is actually Flutter Mane; it looks similar to Jigglypuff, but it's not actually a Jigglypuff. You see, its size far exceeds that of an ordinary Jigglypuff, reaching the level of a Wigglytuff."

Someone said: "Is it similar to a regional form?"

"Bingo~ It's somewhat similar, but not entirely."

All Baimu snapped his fingers at the student, making the other party a bit embarrassed: "The existence of Flutter Mane is very special; you'll know more specifically in a while. Its type is also different from Jigglypuff; it's a Psychic and Fairy-type."

He turned to face Benga, looking at the boy who was gnashing his teeth in anger, and said: "So, when facing a Fairy-type Pokémon, you send out a Dragon-type; are you looking down on me, Student Benga?"

"—Damn it! I'll come back to challenge you again!"

Benga ran away.

All Baimu shouted at his back: "Remember the agreement not to play with fire in the school!"

"I didn't forget!"

This kid actually responded.

All Baimu nodded approvingly; he had no ill feelings toward Benga, and as Alder's grandson, the other party wouldn't have too many problems with his values.

Being a bit wild didn't matter; the Orre Academy respected all the personalities of its students, but playing with fire was absolutely forbidden.

Thus, he "educated" the other party a little.

But he felt that Benga would have conflicts with some students later, so All Baimu looked at the surrounding students and asked: "The brave Student Benga has been defeated, are there any other students who want to try challenging me?"

"…"

The students looked at each other, seemingly unwilling to go on stage.

After all, Benga had been beaten quite miserably.

Going up seemed very embarrassing.

All Baimu taught them earnestly: "Daring to challenge is an excellent quality of a Trainer; regardless of the result, challenging the strong is itself a feat."

"Even if you can't last a single round, you can still learn something from it. Students, the life of a Trainer is like a Magikarp swimming against a waterfall; only the Magikarp that can successfully climb to the top can evolve into a Gyarados!"

Seeing the students start to waver, he added some fuel to the fire: "Don't you have a Champion dream? Students of Team Plasma! The environment of the past is not a reason to trap you! I am the precedent!"

"Well said!"

Applause rang out, coming from outside the crowd.

It was Vice Principal Alder, who had arrived at some point. The crowd subconsciously made way, and he walked over with a smile: "My unruly boy has caused you trouble."

"No, he's quite good." All Baimu shook his head: "Why are you free to come down?"

"I heard the commotion here and came to take a look. I didn't expect to hear your speech; the metaphor was very good." Alder's eyes were full of appreciation.

He vaguely remembered that All Baimu was not yet twenty years old, but his understanding of the Trainer profession far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"You flatter me."

All Baimu responded modestly and said to the crowd: "Since the students are still quite hesitant, let's stop here for today. Those who want to battle me, gather here at this time tomorrow."

Alder paused, realizing that he had disturbed All Baimu's teaching, and chuckled in embarrassment: "Why not continue? Don't mind me."

"No, they don't look ready; even if they went up, it would be forcing them."

All Baimu could see things in the students' eyes: "Some things can't be rushed; this is a school, and they should be given enough time."

Alder nodded: "Good!"

He suddenly said again: "Principal All Baimu, do you need me to take you to visit the school buildings?"

"No need, you go get busy with your things, I'll just take a look around myself, I have to go back to Mt. Silver later." All Baimu said with a smile.

Alder then left, and the students dispersed.

——

High point of Phenac Island.

All Baimu arrived at the top aimlessly.

Here existed the largest arena in all of Orre, even exceeding the one at Mt. Battle.

It was a gift Ardos had specially prepared for All Baimu.

And, there was a passage under the arena that went straight to the depths of the ocean trench. This used to be a volcanic eruption point, and if it were renovated—

It became a playground for the baby Lugia.

"Chow-woo~"

"Small~! Silver~!"

All Baimu met Silver here after a long time, hugging and nuzzling each other.

After it and its mother, along with Calyrex, finished renovating the environment of Phenac Island, they completely treated the ocean trench at the bottom of the island as their nest.

Originally, the adult Lugia was ready to leave after the renovation, but Calyrex said—the hermit hides in the wild, the great hermit hides in the city.

The best way for them not to be disturbed by humans was to integrate into human society.

The Orre Academy was a good place.

As the talent reserve base of the Orre League, anyone who dared to run wild here would be severely dealt with.

Not to mention All Baimu was also here.

Considering its relationship with All Baimu and the fact that the baby Lugia needed a good growing environment, Lugia agreed and prepared to stay in the ocean trench at the bottom of the Orre Academy for a few hundred years until the child grew up.

However, after it said this, it went to sleep in the ocean trench just like its distant relative.

In recent years, Lugia had been running around with its child, and after arriving in Orre, it had to work hard to make it rain every day, and even renovate the island's environment; it had long been tired and wanted to sleep.

Only now did it get its wish.

As for the child, Silver, it also felt that there wouldn't be any problems at the Orre Academy.

—It can only be said that Lugia was quite carefree; no wonder the baby Lugia was caught by Team Rocket in the original series.

Of course, All Baimu would definitely ensure its safety.

"Ask the Legendary Giants if they are willing to come to the Orre Academy for a business trip occasionally." He thought of the three giants who were idle at Mt. Silver all day.

Perhaps he had to find something for them to do to avoid these guys being so idle that they fell asleep themselves.

How much Legendary Pokémon can sleep is something humans with shorter lives cannot understand.

Huh?

Perhaps he could also bring the ancient Legendary Beasts here in the future.

All Baimu had a sudden inspiration.

The conflict between the ancient Legendary Beasts and the future Swords of Justice in Area Zero could only be said to be temporarily suppressed, and there was no guarantee when a dispute would break out again.

The best way was to take one side away.

The future Swords of Justice were responsible for guarding the peace of the Paldea Crater and could help Geeta and the others, so it was best to take the ancient Legendary Beasts.

However…

Bringing them to the Orre Academy felt a bit unfriendly to the students.

Based on All Baimu's current understanding of this group of students, he felt that most of their personalities weren't as carefree as Ash's; was it a problem of their background?

Team Plasma had caused a lot of trouble in the Unova region, so it was normal for their descendants to be hostile, just like the second generation of Team Flare he had just seen.

He didn't know what the second generation of Team Flare in this world was doing now.

All Baimu recalled the encounters of recent days while helping the baby Lugia tidy up its feathers.

When he was in the parallel world, he was anxious to return home.

Now that he was back, he felt like there was nothing urgent to do.

He patted Silver's head: "Are you going to Mt. Silver together tonight?"

"Chow-woo~ Chow-woo~"

Silver nodded like a puppy, although its size was no longer something a canine could compare to.

Seeing it agree, All Baimu ended his first day's visit to the Orre Academy and returned to Mt. Silver to see his own Pokémon.

On the way, he asked Ardos about many things.

The wild Pokémon in the academy did indeed come from Pokémon Paradise, and some were solitary individuals who had left Pokémon Paradise with the main force earlier but got lost in the mountains and forests.

Orre was vast, and many solitary wild Pokémon were in a situation where they wouldn't see any living things other than themselves for half a year.

Ardos asked Meowstic to find Calyrex and Hoopa, asking them to help find these types of wild Pokémon and ask if they were willing to go to the Orre Academy.

Basically, they all agreed.

After all, living alone didn't mean they were willing to grow old in a world where only they existed.

Mt. Silver.

The first thing All Baimu did upon returning was to head straight to Calyrex's garden; he had planted something very important here before.

"Is it dead?"

"Alive, it has taken root and sprouted."

Seeing him enter excitedly, Calyrex knew what he wanted to ask.

In the center of the secret garden of the deer, a small, crystal-clear tree was now planted.

The little turtle Terapagos was lying on the tree, fast asleep.

Without a doubt, it was the mother tree of the Herba Mystica that All Baimu had transplanted from the depths of Area Zero.

There had been no response after planting it before, making him think this thing was dead, but after getting the power of the plate and urging it slightly, there was suddenly a feeling of it coming back to life.

And in order to let it grow stably after he left, All Baimu left Terapagos by its side.

Anyway, the little turtle was sulking with him.

Ever since All Baimu ate the "exclusive food" and the Thousand-Year Arm and the Red Chain were all integrated into his body, Terapagos was initially appeased, but later refused to pay attention to him again.

It wasn't ignoring him, but that kind of blatant sulking; it would turn its head away when it saw him, huffing and puffing.

All Baimu coaxed it for a long time without success and decided to give it the cold shoulder for a while.

He believed that the alternation of cold and heat would always melt the crystal-made Terapagos.

But looking at it now, the effect wasn't very good?

All Baimu had thought that Terapagos would pounce on him as soon as he appeared, but it was just sleeping carefree.

Even when he approached, there was still no reaction.

Calyrex teased: "This thing has a big temper, you're in for it."

"Why are you speaking in such a half-classical way now?" All Baimu twitched the corners of his mouth and asked the deer.

Calyrex raised its phone: "Convenient for communication."

"Communication? You're still chatting with people online? Do you have any good online friends?" All Baimu leaned over to look at the screen.

He saw Calyrex commenting under an introduction video for antique collectors.

"Even if this thing were offered to me, I wouldn't want it. Just wild grass by the roadside."

Then someone replied to it.

"Yo yo yo~ His Majesty the King of Bountiful Harvest is here again? Was Galar still using stone tools ten thousand years ago? And you have the nerve to look down on goldware?"

All Baimu: "…"

He stared at Calyrex: "You're not angry?"

"The barking of petty people, I don't care." Calyrex's expression was calm.

Then a message popped up on the screen, "The comment you reported has been processed…"

Calyrex quickly closed the screen, its expression still calm.

All Baimu: "…"

He shouldn't have let it play with a phone!

My innocent deer! Now it knows how to troll people online and report them!

Although what it said might be the truth, the person on the other side didn't know; how many people knew that there really was a King of Bountiful Harvest in Galar ten thousand years ago.

All Baimu was speechless; Calyrex secretly transmitted thoughts to the Poryphone, asking it to ban the accounts of those few people who were being sarcastic.

The Poryphone was full of difficulty, but it still agreed.
