Chapter 1380

"Happy?"

Blissey looked at the Hisuian Zorua, which had curled up on the sofa in self-isolation after returning, and asked the Poryphone.

Did someone provoke it?

The Poryphone chuckled: "Probably realized the fickleness of the world."

Blissey didn't understand at all; it walked to the kitchen, took a bottle of Moomoo Milk from the fridge, thought about it and poured out half, then thought about it again and poured half back.

Finally, it went to comfort the Hisuian Zorua with a quarter of a bottle of Moomoo Milk.

The pink egg squeezed next to the fat fox and called to it gently, "Happy~"

The Hisuian Zorua lifted its head listlessly; its gaze first touched Blissey's concerned face, then caught sight of the bowl containing Moomoo Milk.

"Woo..."

It turned its head back silently.

Blissey was shocked; the Hisuian Zorua actually had a day where it refused food? This was Moomoo Milk!

Before it could think the Hisuian Zorua had caught some illness, the fat fox suddenly turned its head back and licked the Moomoo Milk clean with smacking sounds.

This action instantly put Blissey's mind at ease.

It's fine.

It's still that same Hisuian Zorua.

Blissey took the gleaming bowl back to the kitchen; because it had been licked so clean, it didn't even need much washing.

"Happy~"

It put away the small bowl, put the unfinished milk back into the fridge, and then locked it.

Locking it was the Trainer's requirement.

All Baimu knew well that requiring the Hisuian Zorua to have self-control was very difficult; if it could control its mouth at all, it wouldn't have eaten itself into that state.

To prevent it from binge-eating in retaliation, all fridges and snack cabinets in the house were locked, controlled by Porygon2.

To a certain extent, this practice also effectively prevented the Hisuian Zorua's behavior of sneaking into the kitchen for extra food after waking up in the middle of the night.

This guy thought its footsteps were light and that it was being stealthy, not knowing that there was a top-tier night owl—Dragapult—invisibly watching it.

It made it so that not to mention the fridge door and snack cabinet doors, it couldn't open any other cabinets either.

In the end, it could only go back to sleep dejectedly.

Afterward, it didn't try to steal food again; after all, this guy was essentially honest, plus it was naturally lazy, so if it didn't get it the first time, it wouldn't consider a second.

The Hisuian Zorua's self-isolation only lasted until evening.

Because All Baimu had made a bunch of delicious things to entertain Professor Oak, the Hisuian Zorua felt it should be allowed to indulge a little today.

—It guessed right.

Thanks to Professor Oak, All Baimu agreed to let it eat its fill tonight and continue losing weight according to the original plan tomorrow.

The Hisuian Zorua couldn't help but shed a few bitter tears; this was the best news it had heard all day!

The despair of being "abandoned" by the institute was quickly thrown to the back of its mind.

It kept devouring things All Baimu wouldn't let it touch before, such as chocolate mousse, macarons, ice cream juice, etc.

It ate whatever was high in calories.

And without control, the Hisuian Zorua's stomach swelled up like a balloon, almost exactly the same as its dream during the day.

When it tried to turn over and couldn't, the fat fox panicked, "Awoo? Awoo!"

It cried out for help.

All that was left for it was the heartless mockery of the Flutter Mane nearby, "Iya? Iya!"

"Awoo!"

The Hisuian Zorua was a bit angry; it twisted its body violently, rolled over on the spot, and ended up belly-up again.

It wasn't "saved" until Blissey rushed over.

All Baimu, noticing its expanded size, shook his head helplessly, "Help it induce vomiting, otherwise it will definitely be uncomfortable tonight."

Sure enough, one couldn't count on the Hisuian Zorua's self-control.

Hearing "induce vomiting," the Hisuian Zorua froze, then immediately wanted to run away; how could it endure that kind of method?

But not to mention it couldn't run in the first place, now that it was stuffed like this, it was difficult even to move.

The result was that the Hisuian Zorua vomited as much as it had eaten.

The entire fox was like it had lost half its life, thrown onto the sofa to slowly recover.

"Woo..."

Two lines of clear tears streaked down the corners of its eyes.

—

Several days later.

Professor Oak had been exploring Mount Silver the whole time, seeing almost all the Pokémon.

Including Miraidon, Okidogi, and Terapagos.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see Queen Leiguanwang no matter what; the little deer didn't make an exception just because Professor Oak was a celebrity, and it remained unseen.

Professor Oak felt it was a great pity.

"King of Bountiful Harvest, I really want to see you in person."

As a Pokémon researcher, he had almost the same wish as Ash—to see all the Pokémon in the world and make friends with them.

"If there's fate, we'll see each other sooner or later." All Baimu smiled warmly and said: "Speaking of which, are you planning to go to the academy tomorrow?"

Professor Oak nodded, "Having bothered you for so many days, I really should go to the school to take a look. I heard Alder, the former Champion of Unova, is also there?"

"He is now the Vice Principal of our school."

All Baimu seized the opportunity, "I wonder if you have any interest in being an honorary Vice Principal or professor at our school?"

Professor Oak was slightly stunned, "Hmm... let's discuss this matter after I arrive at the school."

"Sure."

All Baimu didn't force it; it was just a casual remark anyway.

The next day.

Shanren sent a special car to take the two of them to New Zi Jin.

If it were just All Baimu alone, he could still ride Miraidon, but having Professor Oak along was really inconvenient.

He couldn't very well let him sit behind him; what if he got thrown off by Miraidon?

The wind pressure of the cyber lizard moving at full speed was still quite terrifying.

Orre Academy Island.

A while ago, due to the arrival of the new generation from Orre, there were some small-scale ripples, but with All Baimu's appearance, the campus had returned to its usual calm over the past few days.

Except for the occasional student seen tirelessly cleaning the campus and students trying to strike up conversations everywhere, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Lillie had also left long ago, taking May along with her to further her studies at the Sootopolis Gym.

Thinking about it, she should be back in a few days.

After all, May was a student of Orre Academy; it wouldn't make sense for her not to attend the opening ceremony.

Professor Oak's appearance naturally caused a stir on campus.

Whether it was the second generation of Team Plasma or the new generation of Orre, they all knew a thing or two about this legendary figure, Professor Oak.

It could be said that even the new generation in Huang Tie Town owed their understanding of Pokémon to Professor Oak's popular science videos.

Such a heavyweight figure was actually invited to Orre Academy.

Not to mention the students, even Alder couldn't believe it.

Two elders of similar age had a friendly meeting, and even All Baimu was set aside.

All Baimu wasn't annoyed; having returned to campus after many days, he prepared to do something.

"Are you interested in a battle?"

"Awoo?"

Facing All Baimu's inquiry, the Hisuian Zorua instinctively wanted to refuse, but halfway through shaking its head, it changed its mind.

"Awoo!"

Is there food if I win?

All Baimu laughed, "You're really realistic; yes, of course there is."

A battle was undoubtedly a "sport" that consumed quite a bit of physical strength and energy; no training was as effective as a battle.

But the previous Hisuian Zorua's body was too weak, making it no different from a punching bag in a battle, not to mention it certainly didn't have the will to battle itself.

Whether it had it now was hard to say, but if it was willing to try, a battle that stopped at the right point would be beneficial to its body.

And so.

All Baimu called over the two Team Plasma kids who had been entrusted with raising the starter Pokémon.

"Haven't seen you in a few days, how is your mission going?"

"..."

The two kids looked at each other.

Among them, Aiden—the Trainer of Rowlet—said: "I, I made two friends?"

"Not bad, how about you?" All Baimu asked Kuang, the Trainer of Dewott, "How many did you make?"

Kuang was silent.

Clearly, he hadn't made a single one.

All Baimu shook his head and sighed: "You guys aren't doing well like this..."

Hearing this, both of their hearts jumped into their throats, silently gripping their Poké Balls, worried that their Pokémon would be taken back.

"To punish you, practice Pokémon battles with me!"

"No—eh?"

Both were stunned.

All Baimu smiled: "You heard me right, Pokémon battles."

Battling with the Champion's Pokémon, is this really a punishment?

The two left the office in a daze, but when they reached the battle field, they realized it wasn't a formal battle, but a practice battle.

What they had to face wasn't the Champion's main force or ace, nor even any Pokémon he had used in official matches.

But a chubby-looking guy.

"Zorua?"

"Doesn't look quite like it, eh."

"Don't think about it, it is Zorua, just not the Zorua from Unova."

All Baimu chuckled, "It's a Pokémon entrusted to me by a research institute to look after; it has never been in contact with battles before, all you need to do is practice with it."

The two didn't quite understand.

The Poryphone said bluntly: "It means letting your Pokémon be its punching bag."

"Ah?"

The two were dumbfounded.

This was not quite what they had imagined.

"So I said it's a punishment." All Baimu shrugged, signaling the Hisuian Zorua to step forward with his eyes.

The Hisuian Zorua was a bit nervous, walking up tremblingly.

Aiden, as the first sparring guest, released Rowlet with a bitter face, "Rowlet! I, I leave it to you!"

"Don't be in a hurry to attack, explain the situation to it first." All Baimu stopped Aiden from giving the order, "Sparring requires the awareness of a sparring partner."

Aiden had no choice but to inform his partner of the situation in detail.

Rowlet's eyes widened.

It, a dignified sharpshooter bird, you want it to be a sparring partner?

Fine, fine.

Rowlet was still very obedient; looking back at the hesitant Hisuian Zorua, it had already prepared to act.

At worst, it would just play dead after taking a claw.

"Goo!"

It shouted and spread its wings, signaling the Hisuian Zorua to attack.

Seeing this, All Baimu said to the fat fox: "Go ahead, they are standing there letting you hit them, use Shadow Ball."

"Woo..."

The Hisuian Zorua shivered, slightly opening its mouth to summon a black-purple ball of light.

The next moment, the ball of light suddenly grew to the size of a human head, flying toward Rowlet like a shooting star!

Boom!

Smoke billowed!

Aiden was stunned, the Hisuian Zorua was stunned, and even Kuang, who was watching from the side, was stunned.

The most miserable was Rowlet; it had thought that since the opponent acted so cowardly, it shouldn't have much strength.

As a result, it got blown away in one encounter.

"Level suppression?"

All Baimu rubbed his chin.

Rowlet hadn't evolved long ago; its level wouldn't exceed twenty.

And while the Hisuian Zorua had wasted time, it was at least not young anymore, plus All Baimu had fed it plenty of glowing dishes during this time, so it was almost level thirty now.

All Baimu vaguely remembered that this was the level before evolution.

However, with the Hisuian Zorua's mindset, it was probably difficult to evolve, right?

And its current form is fine being a bit fat, but after it becomes Zoroark and gets fat, it's inevitably hard to look at.

Aiden ran quickly toward Rowlet, calling its name loudly.

Rowlet hadn't lost its ability to battle; it flew back with a few coos, grooming its green bangs with its feathers as if to save face.

Only its slightly trembling body indicated that its health condition wasn't optimistic.

Aiden had a bitter face, "Principal..."

"I told you to spar, not to call your Pokémon to be a punching bag; if the instruction isn't clear, you can only blame yourself." All Baimu shifted the blame mercilessly, without any self-awareness of pitting his own students.

Orre's style of doing things has always been overbearing.

He waved his hand again, "Alright, you go down first. Kuang! Come up!"

Kuang, the Trainer of Dewott, replaced Aiden and Rowlet; compared to this first pair of greenhorns, he was much calmer, just like when he took the initiative to invite Oshawott at the beginning.

"Please advise!"

He looked as if he regarded this as a formal battle.

Dewott also took down the two beige scallop shells from its sides, waving them like twin blades.

The Hisuian Zorua was startled by it.

"What are you afraid of? Don't forget your advantage, don't forget what I told you; you are a Pokémon that can create illusions." All Baimu's tone was stern.

The fat fox looked back at him aggrievedly, "Woo..."

"Eat after this battle!"

"Awoo!"

The Hisuian Zorua was instantly full of spirit.

It was still All Baimu's turn to attack first; he said: "Create some illusions for the opponent to see, think about what I just taught you."

"Woo!"

The Hisuian Zorua's whole body trembled, exerting force in a certain direction as if it were pooping.

Immediately, under the stunned gaze of Kuang and Dewott, a crooked ghost shadow appeared above its head.

Kuang: "... Pfft!"

He couldn't hold it back, and Dewott's guarded expression also turned into one of ridicule.

Who could be scared by this kind of "illusion"?

Just when Kuang was wondering what the point of the Hisuian Zorua doing this was, Dewott inexplicably lunged forward and fell.

"Fu?" It cried out in pain.

"Hmm?"

Kuang was slightly stunned, then rubbed his eyes, only to find that the Hisuian Zorua that had summoned the ghost shadow had suddenly disappeared.

Replacing it was a Hisuian Zorua that had appeared beside Dewott.

It clawed at Dewott's back, but didn't use any moves.

From the opposite side came All Baimu's helpless voice, "Use a move, use your Shadow Sneak to attack it."

"Awoo!"

The Hisuian Zorua responded immediately; the shadow beneath it lunged out, stabbing Dewott and causing it to roll continuously.

Kuang shouted, "Dewott, turn around quickly! It's behind you!"

"Fu!"

Hearing this, Dewott struggled to get up from the ground, but the Hisuian Zorua had already pursued it quickly under All Baimu's command.

"Pound, aim for the head."

"Awoo!"

It slapped Dewott on the head with one claw, knocking it unconscious.

Kuang was completely speechless.

All Baimu looked at him and asked: "How could you still underestimate the enemy when the previous person had already suffered a loss? Just because it was funny?"

Kuang blushed.
