Chapter 1386: Giovanni's Breakdown

~13 min read 2,589 words

Giovanni's reaction was quite slow.

At least Silver had been in Oulei for several days, and there was no big reaction over there, as if he didn't have this cub.

All Baimu specifically asked Silver, and the answer he got was that Giovanni was very busy.

He had been very busy since he was small.

Silver remembered that when he was younger, he might not have seen him a few times a year; besides being well-fed and clothed, he was no different from an orphan.

It wasn't until he was ten that he met Giovanni for the first time after coming to the Team Rocket base, thereby discovering that his father was the leader of Team Rocket in the Kanto region.

The mood at that time was not complicated.

But this discovery didn't change Silver's later situation; Giovanni still rarely saw him, the difference was that he officially became a Trainer and started mixing with other members of Team Rocket.

During this period, Silver encountered his nemesis—Kenta, a guy who was naive to the point of being annoying.

However, he had a few good friends, and his parents loved him a bit, so he sanctimoniously asked him why he couldn't feel the beauty of the world and wanted to join Team Rocket to help the evildoer.

How hateful!

Even though a long time had passed since he last met Kenta, thinking of the fact that he lost to the other party on that critical occasion, Silver still couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

Later, All Baimu and Calyrex came to the door, smashing many of Team Rocket's sub-bases and almost destroying the headquarters, but the situation of him and Giovanni gathering less and parting more still hadn't been alleviated.

It even became longer!

This confusion made Silver feel incredible when facing what All Baimu said—'You will inherit Team Rocket sooner or later.'

Could he really inherit Team Rocket?

In Silver's view, Giovanni didn't care about him at all, so how could he hand over an important organization to him to manage.

Fortunately, whether Team Rocket was handed over to him was another matter, but the chores of Oulei Academy were indeed handed over to him by All Baimu first.

As for Team Rainbow, put it aside for now.

He had to let Silver exercise; Lillie didn't handle so many secretary duties from the beginning, and there must be an adaptation process.

"Look carefully! Learn carefully! I'm optimistic about you!"

All Baimu patted Silver's shoulder earnestly.

Silver nodded in confusion, and then turned his gaze to the documents in front of him; don't say, he could actually understand them.

These were all things he had learned.

Silver suddenly recalled that in order to let Giovanni praise him, he either studied by himself or hired a tutor, learning a lot of knowledge in Giovanni's study, thinking that maybe he could help his father.

But there was no chance to show it at all.

Giovanni didn't have much reaction to everything he said, only occasionally eating a meal with him, and would leave after eating, leaving behind a sentence "if you need money, find the butler" and walking away.

Silver hadn't hated him, but slowly he got tired.

The year of "chasing" All Baimu was because he found that he had nothing to do, and didn't want to become any Gym Leader, and was too lazy to take the Elite Four and Champion as goals.

Find trouble with Kenta?

Silver wasn't the Team Rocket trio; he wasn't the kind of character who would pester someone.

Who would have thought that a year later, he would work under All Baimu.

—Regardless, he finally had something to do, which was better than living aimlessly.

Silver quickly cheered up.

Outside the door.

Porygon2 quipped, "Do you ever feel like you're a lot like Cang Cang Zhi Lang?"

"Is there?"

All Baimu wasn't surprised that Porygon2 knew Cang Cang Zhi Lang; let alone seeing him with his own eyes last year, this smart artificial intelligence had long finished asking Aggron and the others about the past.

Porygon2 nodded affirmatively, "You are CPU-ing him!"

"... Let you go online less!"

All Baimu was really too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

The Team Rocket trio was very adapted to life in the academy, eating well and wearing warmly here, and having free materials to invent things; the academy's overly generous behavior made them very ashamed.

After all, they agreed to open classes, but they hadn't taught a single class so far.

Meowth took the initiative to come to the door, "Let us do something? Being idle like this all day, we..."

"What do you want to do?"

All Baimu asked back, "Everything here is already done by someone."

School staff didn't just include teachers, but also other logistics personnel, such as equipment maintenance, gardeners, electricians, etc.

Meowth said awkwardly: "We..."

"How about this, how about you go be TV reporters? The Oulei Champion League is starting in two days, and the Masters Eight will start in a few days. You can go with me."

All Baimu gave these three a part-time job.

They hadn't done less of similar work; in the original Kalos plot, they even broke into Team Flare's base with Steven.

Meowth's eyes lit up, and he saluted loyally, "Yes! Boss!"

Then he ran away happily to tell James and Jessie this good news.

All Baimu watched Meowth go away and touched the Hisuian Zorua on the seat.

"Time is indeed getting closer and closer."

Most of the attention in these few days was indeed given to Silver and the Team Rocket trio, but Hisuian Zorua's weight loss activity was also continuing.

Nowadays, its weight had successfully reached a healthy level, and the next thing to do was to maintain it.

Binge eating actually wasn't afraid; Mawile ate a bunch of desserts every day and it wasn't a problem, because its exercise volume was there, and Hisuian Zorua's most critical problem was not moving.

Some time ago, he thought of a way for it to get in touch with gorgeous performances, and Hilda happened to be learning it, so All Baimu simply taught the two together.

A corner garden of the academy.

The place where All Baimu first met Hilda.

Now the two also met here, mainly because the little girl had thin skin and was embarrassed to perform under the eyes of everyone in the battle field.

"Yo! Came so early today too?"

"Awoo~!"

All Baimu and Hisuian Zorua greeted Hilda, who was kneeling on the soft grass.

Her Porygon-Phone was floating and taking pictures, and beside her were Morelull and Cyndaquil.

Because they were very familiar, Cyndaquil didn't hide when seeing the fox and the human, but it hadn't evolved for almost a month.

It could only be said that it was very consistent with Hilda's protagonist constitution.

As a Pokémon recognized as easy to raise, usually a new Trainer could let them evolve to the second stage in at most half a month.

Ash was different; his Pokémon might not evolve for a year, making the heroines who traveled with him evolve their starters very slowly.

May's Torchic didn't evolve into Combusken until over eighty episodes, and didn't evolve into Blaziken until the end of the Advanced Generation; Dawn's Piplup, Iris's Axew were even more...

"Troubled you again!"

Hilda bowed with a red face.

Asking the Champion to give her private lessons all day long to train matters related to gorgeous performances was really too embarrassing.

All Baimu waved his hand indifferently, "Since you have learned things from Teacher Wallace, you are also half my junior sister, no need to be so polite—did you watch the video I asked you to watch yesterday?"

"Watched!"

Hilda nodded hurriedly, "Dawn is really amazing!"

There weren't many Top Coordinators who used Cyndaquil, and All Baimu happened to know one—

Dawn.

Of course, her Cyndaquil was now a Quilava, and as for when it could evolve into Typhlosion, heaven knows.

All Baimu asked Hilda to refer to Dawn's gorgeous performance, believing it would be helpful to her.

"The Crystal Fire of Mamoswine and Quilava is so beautiful, but I don't have Ice-type Pokémon, so I can't learn it..."

After Hilda was slightly disappointed, she cheered up again: "But I boldly improved it, please appreciate it!"

When there was no one around, she was still very active when talking.

"Cynda! Morelull! Follow what we practiced before! Flame Wheel! Pollen Puff!"

"Hena!"

"Tama!"

The two Pokémon responded.

Then he saw Cyndaquil jump high, and the flames on its back wrapped it up during its rotation, forming a short-staying fireball in the air.

Morelull's cheeks bulged, and it suddenly sprayed a golden-pink light group toward the fireball.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

The moment the fireball and the light group touched, a scene as gorgeous as fireworks suddenly exploded, and countless colorful lights flew in all directions, like ribbons floating above the arena.

If it were night, I believe it would be even more beautiful.

"Awoo..."

Hisuian Zorua's eyes were shining, and it was also attracted by the fireworks in the sky.

All Baimu clapped lightly and praised with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, you really have talent, being able to master the fusion of skills so quickly."

Hilda touched her head shyly, "It's because you taught well."

Morelull and Cyndaquil were full of pride.

In fact, this set of skill combinations was actually a simple version, after all, 【Pollen Puff】 could be an attack skill or a recovery skill.

The nature of the latter determined that it could better contact Pokémon without abnormal energy conflicts.

True skill fusion performance wasn't simple; if the two conflicting skills weren't mastered properly, they would only explode into large clouds of smoke like in battle, and there would be no aesthetic feeling.

But Hilda, as a beginner, could do this, which could be called outstanding talent.

"Don't just watch, the other side finished performing, what about yours?"

All Baimu lowered his head and signaled Hisuian Zorua to return to its senses.

Hisuian Zorua looked at him somewhat reluctantly and ran forward.

"Woo..."

Its body trembled slightly, its expression was like being constipated for a long time, and the flame-like hair floating on its head suddenly lit up with red light.

The next instant, flower after flower of fire flew out, swirling and floating, turning into fox-like flame phantoms identical to it.

Hisuian Zorua danced the Fox Dance taught to it by Mawile amidst these dozen or so "peers."

"Woo~ Woo~"

I don't know where the accompaniment came from, Hisuian Zorua danced more and more happily, and finally, the fire fox phantoms jumped high one by one, bang, and exploded into lifelike flame flowers, and Hisuian Zorua spun amidst these flame flowers, and finally...

With a slap, its chin hit the ground, and it fell like a dog eating shit.

"Woo..."

Tears overflowed from the corners of Hisuian Zorua's eyes.

Hilda saw this and hurriedly clapped, "Very amazing, very amazing! You performed very well!"

Morelull and Cyndaquil also comforted and praised it.

Hisuian Zorua stood up, turned its head to look at All Baimu, who was full of helplessness behind it, "Awoo?"

"You guy... alright, I know you've already tried your best."

He squatted down and rubbed Hisuian Zorua's head.

Although the fat fox's gorgeous performance was entirely for itself, All Baimu never said any harsh words to it from beginning to end, and even if it made a fool of itself many times in the process, he mostly encouraged and lured it.

To the point that Hisuian Zorua wouldn't worry about All Baimu scolding it even if the performance failed, and even righteously asked for praise.

A posture of "I performed so well, don't you want to praise me a few words."

All Baimu naturally wouldn't be stingy with verbal praise, and of course, there was no lack of opinions, "However, you really should change your expression when performing."

Gorgeous performance is not just content, but also the spirit of Pokémon; Hisuian Zorua's posture at the beginning, if changed to him participating in a gorgeous contest before, at least the score would be deducted by 0.5.

As for the final landing...

That goes without saying.

No matter how beautiful the performance is, two mistakes have to be deducted to the eight-point level.

Why were All Baimu's scores high before?

It was because his Pokémon didn't miss anything from expression management to action posture, and every detail was handled perfectly.

It was difficult for the judges to find inappropriate places, so they had to give him high scores.

"Continue practicing."

All Baimu and Hilda started communication and practice regarding gorgeous performances again, and naturally, they didn't invite Mawile, Blissey, and the Shiny Milotic, these few sect ancestors, less.

The atmosphere of the entire garden was very harmonious.

Two more days passed.

When the Champion League was about to start, All Baimu finally waited for the news he wanted to wait for.

—Giovanni called.

This middle-aged man said viciously: "All Baimu! What exactly do you want to do!"

"You could actually get my private phone number? It really surprises me."

All Baimu avoided talking about his words, "Let me guess who gave it to you?"

Giovanni snorted coldly: "I owed a favor to get it! Also! Let my son go! You are a regional Champion!"

When he said this, one could even hear a hint of gritting teeth.

"Don't get it wrong, your son is not my hostage, he is staying here to help me voluntarily; anyway, you don't care about him, what's wrong with me helping you discipline him?"

All Baimu didn't want to chat with this businessman, "If you have any dissatisfaction, come to Oulei and say it to me and your son in person."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Giovanni on the opposite side was so angry that he threw the receiver, but in a blink of an eye, he actually let his secretary, Matori, go prepare the ticket.

Although in Silver's view, his father didn't pay attention to him at all, Giovanni actually always paid attention to his only son and had never regarded him as pride, just didn't want him to come into contact with some things too early.

Seemingly free-range, actually protecting.

Who would have thought that after not paying attention for a while, his son ran to the enemy's place!

No wonder I felt bad luck everywhere some time ago!

Giovanni's face turned black like a pot carbon.

Oulei region.

All Baimu acted as if nothing had happened and participated in the Champion League with Assembly winners at the end of the year.

It was a pity that the quality of the Assembly winners wasn't very high, and they were defeated by Wally before even seeing his face, along with many participating Gym Leaders.

On the first day, he sat on the Champion throne and watched the whole process like a mascot.

"You really don't want to work in the school?"

It was rare to catch Wally, so he couldn't help but ask.

Wally shook his head, "I, I'm not very suitable to be a teacher, and I have no way to be responsible for the future of so many people."

A qualified Trainer isn't necessarily a good teacher; Wally had self-knowledge.

All Baimu, who failed to put a duck on the shelf, sighed, and then received Giovanni's call.

"I'm here! Where are you!" ===== CHAPTER 1387 =====
