Chapter 1392: Dragon Riding Ascends to Heaven

~14 min read 2,629 words

"This isn't a question of whether I can accept it, but whether the tournament organizers can accept it."

All Baimu felt a bit outrageous after hearing Shanren's proposal.

He actually hoped that he would land at the tournament site riding the Legendary Giant, just like Galio's hero arrival—of course, it would be best to ride with Calyrex, but considering Calyrex would refuse, it was changed to the Legendary Giant.

It's also quite cool!

But that won't do either; other Champions enter according to the rules, and he wants to be unique and do this kind of thing?

Reputation damage!

You have to know that his public persona before was cold and aloof.

Although after becoming Champion, it shifted to a down-to-earth and peaceful persona, he couldn't be arrogant to that extent, right?

Shanren said bluntly: "Understand it, I have no choice, I must create a good start for next year's Orre League, and you are our facade!"

"No matter how much of a facade, there's no such thing..."

All Baimu still refused to agree; it wasn't any special situation. Like the situation where Leon could get lost and be late before an important match, deliberately creating a unilateral entrance ceremony is equivalent to disrespecting others.

Even if the regional Champions definitely wouldn't care, a few would probably think he was interesting—

After all, he had accumulated a reputation before.

Shanren was silent for a long time and finally hung up the phone.

Just when All Baimu thought he had dismissed this unreliable idea, he called again in just half a day.

Shanren: "I've discussed it with the organizers, and we've changed the Champion entrance ceremony."

All Baimu: "?"

The original Champion entrance ceremony was a very simple lift plus a spotlight; now, influenced by Shanren's proposal, it has become "eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own magic."

In order to give him a cool and eye-catching entrance, Shanren has racked his brains.

He probably even went to Rose to learn from his experience.

After all, people hope he can be cool at the Masters Eight site, which is convenient for the Orre League's "recruitment" next year.

In recent years, the number of teenagers going out to adventure has plummeted, and the number of teenagers choosing to attend Trainer schools has increased, which can be described as a grim situation. Shanren definitely doesn't want to have to face the decline of the League tournament just after he has finished building the League arena.

"Come on! Champion! Give them something unforgettable!"

Shanren has always held endless expectations for his good friend.

Unforgettable?

When All Baimu heard this, the first thing he thought of was Shiny Rayquaza.

In terms of coolness, power, and visual impact, the third-generation Primal Pokémon, the noble Sky Dragon Rayquaza, is absolutely one of the best.

There is no Pokémon more suitable to appear with him.

The arrival of the five Legendary Giants and the black and white horse knights would also work, but compared to Shiny Rayquaza, which can change the weather, it's still a bit lacking.

Thinking of this, All Baimu decided to ask Shiny Rayquaza; if it really refused to agree, he would make it submit with delicious food—

"Eh? Did you agree?"

All Baimu opened his eyes wide.

Shiny Rayquaza didn't hesitate at all in the face of his request, agreeing almost in a second.

And facing his surprise, this black fake Dragon God also showed incomprehension, big head, big confusion.

"Roar?"

Isn't this a very normal thing?

In Shiny Rayquaza's view, All Baimu already belongs to a very good friend; as early as a few years ago, it carried him to soar in the high sky, let alone the present moment of reunion after a long separation.

Even its willingness to stay near Mount Silver is enough to prove the intimate relationship between the two.

Let alone such a simple thing as giving him a ride.

Refusing would be the strange thing!

All Baimu laughed very happily, "Then thank you very much."

He couldn't help but reach out and stroke Shiny Rayquaza's smooth and thick black lower jaw, but inexplicably felt it was a bit cold.

Does the body temperature of the Sky Dragon seem to be lower than the human body?

And... from the art, Rayquaza's skin inexplicably has a rubbery texture, but in reality, it is closer to some kind of large, hardened keratin layer with very shallow patterns; should it be counted as scales?

Anyway, the "scale" All Baimu picked up was a small piece that fell off from the protrusion in its middle section.

Night.

Shiny Rayquaza, as if to verify its promise, took the initiative to invite All Baimu to roam the starry sky together.

An Xing'er very sensibly guarded the house.

Although she also wanted to fly to the sky with Uncle All Baimu to count the stars, she also understood that this was an activity exclusive to good friends.

Such a well-behaved appearance also made All Baimu exceptionally moved; worthy of being Diantha's daughter!

He indeed needed some alone time with Shiny Rayquaza.

"Let's go."

All Baimu jumped lightly onto its head; this posture of jumping several feet high made An Xing'er cover her mouth in shock.

Sure enough!

Uncle All Baimu is a psychic!

She had long guessed that All Baimu had some kind of special ability, such as when he saved her in Lumiose City in the future, or when All Baimu came into contact with Rayquaza not long ago, the golden light released from his palm.

More details are too numerous to count; An Xing'er didn't think it was all done with the help of Pokémon.

For example, right now, she clearly observed that the moment All Baimu jumped up, a translucent breeze lifted his body, allowing him to easily jump onto the head of Shiny Rayquaza, which was at least three or four meters high.

"I'll be back soon, don't wait for me too late!" All Baimu waved at An Xing'er.

With Pokémon like Ogerpon around, there's no need to worry about her being lonely or anything.

Let alone that the Porygon-Phone can help look after the child!

"Ang!!"

Shiny Rayquaza let out a long roar, waking up countless sleeping wild Pokémon, while itself also spiraled straight into the clouds.

All Baimu stood in the center of the golden ring on its head, his feet firmly attached like magnets.

He looked around at everything, only feeling a feeling completely different from riding Hydreigon or Miraidon.

The speed of the former two belongs to straight-line acceleration; Shiny Rayquaza is not only fast but also circles, as if riding a roller coaster with failed brakes, its body surging up and down with the cycle.

Of course, Shiny Rayquaza doesn't always fly in circles; it only does so when climbing.

Once it reaches the intended height, the number of coils will be significantly reduced.

Overall, it's like that sentence—

"Graceful as a startled swan, body like a swimming dragon"!

Not long after.

Shiny Rayquaza had already reached the peak of the mountains.

Starlight shattered into a piece of silver radiance on the ink-colored sky, and the mountains slept in the night mist with their outlines.

The wind swept across the craggy mountain peaks, carrying bursts of chill, but when it touched this black shadow spanning the world, it suddenly solidified into static fog.

If there is anything cooler than Shiny Rayquaza, it must be Super Shiny Rayquaza.

At All Baimu's request, the Sky Dragon, who didn't understand but was easy to talk to, coiled between the sea of clouds and stardust, its pitch-black body suddenly bursting with dazzling radiance.

"Ang——!!"

In the roar that resounded through the world, the starlight illuminated these ink marks that seemed to be outlined by the pen of a god.

Like sleeping stars waking up, the golden streamers spread along the winding torso into a river of light leading to the depths of the universe.

The golden rings symbolizing the balance flickered constantly, breathing tirelessly like living things, shaking the clouds between light and dark, dyeing the blue-green mist into flowing gold.

Really...

Too beautiful.

All Baimu looked down at the Super Shiny Rayquaza beneath him, only feeling that he was like driving a river of flowing golden light, the low roar continuously echoing in his ears, and under the vast starry sky, he and Super Shiny Rayquaza were like the masters of the firmament.

"Hoo."

He exhaled a cold mist.

Sure enough, big is beautiful! Big is strong!

All Baimu has always liked giant things; although he is very annoyed that excessively large giant things cannot be carried with him, he is indeed particularly fond of them.

Perhaps because of this, the Pokémon at home are generally larger and more ferocious than their peers.

Natural giants like Steelix don't count; giant beasts like Aggron that were raised and formed later are enough to prove All Baimu's fanaticism.

Pity, the body size of ordinary Pokémon is naturally limited, and no matter how much they grow, that's it.

Heaven knows where the giant Dragonite in the original series came from.

"Let's go! To a higher place!"

He squatted down halfway, expecting Super Shiny Rayquaza to take him to the boundless starry sky.

The All Baimu of the past definitely wouldn't dare to do that, but with the protection of the Slate power, his courage was relatively much greater than before.

"Ang!"

Super Shiny Rayquaza agreed decisively, but it didn't climb like a swimming dragon as before, but straightened its slender body, bringing the golden long whiskers floating at the lower end of its cheeks to form a diagonal line, forming a triangle symbolizing Delta (Δ) with the vertical tail whiskers at the end.

Its unique emerald green radiance illuminated the night sky, like a flame that would never go out, taking All Baimu toward the deeper parts of the universe.

This night, everyone in Orre who hadn't slept saw the emerald green burn marks that penetrated the world; they thought it was a meteor arrival and couldn't help but start praying.

Shanren was no exception.

Working overtime in the top-floor villa of the headquarters, he looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window, "A meteor? I hope this is a good omen."

Countless people had countless wishes, constantly being transmitted.

In the basement of the Mount Silver villa, a huge meteorite glowed slightly, followed by a gentle shake.

But it quickly fell silent again, as if there had never been any abnormality.

If the crimson core next to it also reacted, it would probably have started sweating by now.

A few seconds later, the Porygon-Phone followed the network cable to the basement; it first observed for a while, then mobilized the surveillance.

"Mom! It's haunted!"

It looked at the meteorite in shock; it wasn't saying that this thing was a ghost, but that the Wish Star hadn't had any reaction since All Baimu saw it.

It was taken for research before and said to have a reaction, but what happened?

Nothing happened!

So it was kept in the basement, keeping company with Eternatus's core; if it weren't for the fact that Pokémon often come and go in All Baimu's house, worrying about bumps and bruises, it would have become a living room ornament long ago.

"Wait for All Baimu to come back and tell him."

The Porygon-Phone didn't disturb the Trainer's good mood.

An Xing'er guarded the house until one o'clock in the morning, sleepy to the point of nodding like a garlic-pounding pestle, before she couldn't help but return to her room to sleep.

Blissey thoughtfully lit soothing incense for her.

"Awoo~"

After Hisuian Zorua saw An Xing'er fall asleep, it nimbly climbed out of her arms, thinking that this girl is completely different when awake and asleep, too scary.

It ran to the kitchen and circled twice, trying to find leftover dinner, but unfortunately, its behavior had long been seen through by Blissey, and there was absolutely no chance of success.

The frustrated Hisuian Zorua left the villa and jumped onto the outdoor lounge chair to enjoy the stars.

Don't know why it always felt that there was a emerald green star that was particularly bright.

"Woo..."

The cold wind blew, and Hisuian Zorua didn't feel anything.

It was a Pokémon that lived in the snowfield to begin with; even without the Ice attribute, it still possessed extremely strong tolerance to cold.

This thick fur is proof.

……

Orre bathed under the starry sky.

The distant Galar was welcoming the dawn of a new day.

The highly anticipated Masters Eight was about to be presented to battle fans around the world; on the screens of major shopping malls, countdown links appeared.

As the host city, Wyndon was decorated with lanterns and colored banners early on; the streets were bustling with noise and excitement, people and Pokémon came and went wantonly, and many hotel rooms were sold out.

This largest city in northern Galar was about to receive tourists from all over the world, and countless people were looking forward to the arrival of the Champions.

Although Rose had already confessed his guilt and was enjoying his life in prison, his secretary Oleana was still like a diligent Lillipup, full of energy.

Especially to ensure Leon was in a good state to compete, she even took care of the League's affairs.

One hand on the conglomerate, one hand on the League, working twenty-four hours a day.

Fortunately, a "tough guy" fell from the sky a while ago, and under the pretext of modifying the entrance ceremony, he took on part of her work.

Oleana thought, after this Masters Eight ends, she would resign and apply to be a prison guard in Orre.

Life without Chairman Rose really couldn't go on.

Inside a training ground somewhere.

Leon sneezed, "Hmm..."

"Hey, don't get sick on the eve of the competition, your body isn't that fragile, right?"

Raihan raised his eyebrows.

Leon waved his hand: "No, no, just suddenly felt like something bad is happening?"

His premonitions on weekdays were quite accurate.

Raihan mocked: "I'm afraid you're afraid of losing to All Baimu, the psychological pressure is too great."

"Is there?"

Leon didn't think it was that aspect.

Raihan hummed and said: "In short, be careful yourself, that guy will only be more powerful than before."

All Baimu's growth speed is beyond everyone's imagination, making progress almost every period of time; Diantha, Lance, and Cynthia, these three veteran Champions, all easily won to the end.

Raihan didn't dare to think about where his strength limit was now.

Leon heard this, just smiled with a bit of expectation: "Okay."

While speaking.

Footsteps came from outside the training ground, and the two turned their heads to look, finding that it was the first-string Gym Leaders of Galar.

Standing at the very front was his childhood sweetheart Sonia.

"Leon!"

"Hahaha! Why did everyone come!" Leon welcomed them very happily.

Sonia smiled: "We are all here to cheer for you."

"Yo! Leon! Remember to retain the title of World Champion!" The Gym Leader of Circhester, Melony, made a cool gesture.

As a Gym Leader, his mother Melony said gently: "Leon~ go soak in a hot spring to relax well before the big battle~"

The Gym Leader of Motostoke, Kabu, said: "Miss Melony is right, rest after exercise is also very important!"

"How about going to Hulbury to eat seafood cuisine?" The Gym Leader of Hulbury, Nessa, raised her hand to suggest.

Bea said: "Sweets are also good."

The other Gym Leaders spoke up one after another, including the new Gym Leader of Ballonlea, Bede.

"Hahaha! Both are fine! Both are fine!"

Leon smiled heartily; he liked this feeling of everyone being together happily. ===== CHAPTER 1393 =====
