Chapter 1429: All Baimu vs. Leon

Wyndon Hotel courtyard.

All Baimu, Ash, and Cynthia walked here, followed by Pikachu and other Pokémon, and Sirfetch'd, who was holding its leek sword and shield with a nervous and expectant face.

"Ga."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make your leek 'come back to life'."

He turned his head to comfort Sirfetch'd.

The three stopped in front of a Gothic gazebo, where a small vegetable-headed deer was already sipping tea inside.

Ash and Cynthia were both stunned.

"It is..."

"The Legendary Pokémon! Calyrex!"

Cynthia whispered, her tone filled with surprise.

Because she had heard All Baimu say that Calyrex didn't like to appear in front of people, and the number of people who had seen it with their own eyes so far could probably be counted on the fingers of two hands.

Why this time?

Cynthia looked at All Baimu, her eyes full of confusion.

And Ash, learning that the strange existence not far away was a Legendary Pokémon, was equally surprised. "A Legendary Pokémon!"

He immediately took out his Rotom Phone, trying to obtain information from it.

The answer he got was—

*'Calyrex, known as the King of Bountiful Harvests in the distant past, other information unknown.'*

"Unknown!"

Ash gasped.

All Baimu walked to Calyrex's side without looking sideways, his back straight as he coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, Ash and his party request an audience."

*'Hmm.'*

"I announce, Ash, Cynthia, Pikachu, Sirfetch'd... and other Pokémon, grant an audience!"

He said with cadence.

Ash and Cynthia were a bit dumbfounded, and so was Calyrex, who was drinking tea.

Its small hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and it glared at All Baimu with slight shame and annoyance. *'Be normal!'*

"What's not normal about it... alright, alright."

All Baimu spread his hands, smiling at the group of people and Pokémon outside the gazebo: "Everyone, don't just stand there, come over."

The previous battle made Calyrex recognize Ash and Cynthia, so it was not only willing to see outsiders but even took the initiative to offer to help Sirfetch'd.

If the other party needed it.

Pikachu approached first, jumping to the position opposite Calyrex, raising a paw to greet it with a smile: "Pika~"

Calyrex nodded, its gaze sweeping over the approaching Ash and Cynthia, finally landing on the broken leek shield tightly held by Sirfetch'd outside the gazebo.

It floated up slowly and said straightforwardly: *'Insert this object into the soil.'*

"Ga!"

Sirfetch'd couldn't wait any longer, quickly inserting its leek shield into the grass by the path.

Then it thought for a moment and inserted its leek sword in as well.

"Ga!"

After Sirfetch'd finished all this, it sincerely shouted, its sharp eyes full of anticipation.

Calyrex said softly: *'Choose for yourself.'*

Choose for itself?

What did that mean?

In the eyes of everyone who was puzzled, Calyrex raised its left hand casually.

Legend has it that when Calyrex raises its right hand, it can make flowers bloom and grass grow; when it raises its left hand, it can make the land fertile and crops bountiful.

The courtyard was silent for a moment.

Ash scratched his head. "This is..."

*Rumble! *

Before he could finish speaking, the ground shook violently, followed by a large patch of giant leeks breaking through the soil, centered on the leek sword and leek shield Sirfetch'd had inserted!

They grew up in an instant; the short ones were two meters high, and the long ones were four or five meters high!

A large patch of lawn, flower beds, and stone slabs outside the gazebo were pushed open by the giant leeks, covering an area of about an acre when viewed from above!

The towering giant leeks formed a scene similar to sugarcane or cornfields, faintly obscuring the sunlight.

Ash and Pikachu were dumbfounded. "So, so many leeks..."

"Pika-chu..."

"The power of the King of Bountiful Harvests is truly well-deserved." Cynthia narrowed her eyes. As a historian, she was really interested in the ancient dynasty ruled by Calyrex.

She turned to look at Calyrex, but found that it had disappeared without a trace.

All Baimu followed her gaze and smiled: "My Calyrex is relatively aloof."

"..."

Cynthia nodded, but her curiosity grew stronger.

At the same time, Ash and Pikachu ran into the leek forest laughing, calling Sirfetch'd over to choose.

"I think this one is pretty good."

"Pika!"

"This one is also very good!"

"Pika!"

"It's a bit hard to choose..." Ash scratched his head in distress, turning to Sirfetch'd: "Sirfetch'd! Which one do you think—huh?"

He suddenly discovered that Sirfetch'd had already started pulling leeks.

"Ga!"

Sirfetch'd exerted force with its wings, and the fresh giant leek immediately detached from the soil. Then it made a cut at the upper end of the stalk, immediately separating the leek leaves from the leek stalk.

Ash leaned over. "Not going to choose anymore?"

"Ga!"

Sirfetch'd shook its head. It didn't struggle at all; it fell in love with this one the moment it saw it, and there were no other giant leeks in its eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the brand-new leek sword and leek shield were held in its wings, the roots were plump, the leek leaves were fresh, and the surface glinted with a faint luster, simply better than the pair it had before!

Sirfetch'd was very satisfied, and its spirit was completely restored. It looked like it could fight Mega Lucario Z for another three hundred rounds!

Ash felt relieved when he saw this and quickly walked to All Baimu. "Thank you so much! Where is Calyrex?"

"Ga!"

Sirfetch'd followed closely behind.

Neither of them saw Calyrex's figure.

All Baimu said: "It has already done what it wanted to do, so it left."

"I see..."

Ash and Sirfetch'd were full of disappointment. They wanted to thank Calyrex again.

After all, it had helped them so much!

"Compared to that, do you have any money on you?" All Baimu changed the subject.

Ash was confused. "I have a little..."

"Ah! Ah!!"

Screams came from outside the leek forest, followed by a rustling sound. Several people in waiter uniforms appeared, surrounding an angry man in a suit.

"Did you do all this! You—"

The man in the suit's anger stopped abruptly, falling into thought as he looked at the combination of All Baimu, Ash, and Cynthia.

Why are the Champions here? Did the Champions do it?

What should I do?

All Baimu pulled Ash. "I'm sorry! We will compensate!"

"I'm sorry! We will com-compensate!"

Ash reacted instantly to why he said that before, but could only respond with a bitter face.

He couldn't just turn his back on them after being helped so much, right?

Besides, these giant leeks were planted for Sirfetch'd!

Cynthia watched this scene and found it funny, then followed up: "Sorry, we will fix it."

Although it seemed to have nothing to do with her, she could barely be considered an accomplice.

The manager waved his hands frantically upon hearing this. "No, no! You flatter me! Are, are these... are these Sirfetch'd's leeks?"

His eyes suddenly swept over the leek sword and leek shield in Sirfetch'd's hands, and a flash of inspiration struck him: "These leeks! Leave them to us to handle!"

"Compensation..."

"No need! Normal wear and tear, how could I let you compensate?" The manager rubbed his hands and laughed. "Please rest assured, leave it to us!"

"Ah..."

Ash nodded blankly.

All Baimu and Cynthia looked at each other, their expressions different.

Half an hour later, the Wyndon Hotel kitchen received bundles and bundles of giant leeks, and at the same time, several dishes were added to the dinner menu—

*'Courageous Baked Giant Leek'*, *'Perseverance Leek Leaf Wrap'*, *'Champion Fresh Leek Soup'*.

At the same time, a large number of giant leeks appeared on the street of stalls outside Wyndon Stadium.

The stall owners sold them to the audience with the Sirfetch'd-style giant leeks as a signboard, successfully selling them out within five minutes.

The street was filled with the fragrance of leeks.

——

"Dear audience friends! Welcome back to the competition site! Coming up is the second semi-final!"

The host's voice echoed over the arena.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon.

After several hours of repairs, the huge crater had become flat, as if nothing had happened in the morning.

The audience filed in, taking their seats full of excitement and enthusiasm.

The first semi-final was certainly eye-catching, but the second was the recognized highlight!

Because both sides participating were undefeated kings with no losses in public matches so far!

Leon, the undefeated king who achieved the Champion title in his youth and had never tasted defeat for over ten years!

And All Baimu, who had emerged suddenly in recent years, was not inferior to Leon in the slightest, and also possessed many Legendary Pokémon!

This was a battle the whole world was watching. Who could win the final victory and become the true one and only!

In the preparation room, Cynthia, sitting on the sofa, looked down, and a noisy sound suddenly came from behind.

She turned her head slightly and found it was the Galar Gym Leaders led by Raihan.

"Ms. Cynthia!"

The moment Nessa saw Cynthia, she immediately leaned over excitedly. "Nice to meet you! My name is Nessa!"

Cynthia was undoubtedly the object of worship for all female Trainers—powerful, confident, and beautiful, making Nessa, who was a professional model and Trainer, particularly yearn for her.

"Hello."

Cynthia responded with a smile, and also responded to the other Gym Leaders who greeted her.

Raihan came to the floor-to-ceiling window and raised his eyebrows, looking down. "I didn't expect them to meet so soon."

The Galar Gym Leaders were all visiting, naturally to cheer for Leon.

Originally, everyone felt that Leon could win steadily in the first two rounds, and at most toss and turn a bit in the finals. They didn't expect to meet All Baimu in the semi-finals, so they came one after another.

Leon's childhood sweetheart, Sonia, mixed in the crowd, arms crossed, and said: "It's the same sooner or later. Anyway, I have confidence in Leon!"

"Hmph."

Raihan snorted lightly and didn't pick up the conversation.

This made Sonia feel quite strange.

If there was someone in the world who liked Leon the most, it might be someone else, but the person who trusted Leon's strength the most in the world was definitely Raihan.

The world's number one Leon fan!

This was the true nature hidden under Raihan's skin of crazy provocation and mockery of Leon. He and Leon had fought each other for so many years, familiar to the point of being like brothers.

In normal times, hearing Sonia's words, Raihan would have said "Isn't that for sure" long ago.

However...

"Is All Baimu very strong?"

Sonia asked, and couldn't help but look at Cynthia. In her memory, both of them had battled All Baimu.

Cynthia smiled without a word. Raihan scratched his head irritably. "Isn't that nonsense!"

Kabu in the crowd said: "I battled him once at the Battle Festival last year. I was already completely no match for him at that time."

He looked at Bea, remembering that she had also battled All Baimu.

Bea's expression was calm. "I lost without any suspense! I feel he is 50-50 with Leon!"

50-50!

This sentence made Sonia shudder, and the other Gym Leaders had strange expressions.

They had been suppressed by Leon for I don't know how many years. Suddenly, someone who could be 50-50 with Leon appeared. How could they not be horrified?

Similar conversations also appeared in the audience seats, and even all over the world.

Mustard was no longer watching the match.

He performed a disappearance act directly, seemingly only preparing to show up after the match ended.

Many teachers and students of the Blueberry Academy were expectant and nervous. On a plane at an altitude of ten thousand meters, Nemona and others held their mobile phones, eyes fixed on them.

"Why hasn't it started yet!"

Arven was a bit anxious, looking exactly like a student about to run a thousand meters.

Penny said gloomily: "It's a matter of time. You might as well take a nap. You can see the result when you wake up."

"I don't want to!"

Arven gulped down coffee. He hadn't slept well for the past few days, just worrying about All Baimu.

Confidence?

He certainly had some.

But he couldn't help but feel worried for All Baimu.

Nemona sighed: "That's great! I also want to battle a powerhouse like Leon!"

Compared to herself, All Baimu was eating such fine grain every day!

The Team Rocket trio in the audience were ready for battle. The one about to compete was their new boss, so they must give the most intense support!

"To prevent Leon from winning!"

"To protect the best Boss All Baimu!"

"The evil that carries out love and truth, Meow..."

They had already started practicing new slogans.

Fortunately, All Baimu had informed them in advance, letting them watch the match honestly, otherwise, with the "intelligence" of the Team Rocket trio, it was hard to say if they would pull off some special tricks.

Like tripping Leon or something.

In the player tunnel.

All Baimu looked at the people in front of him strangely. "How did you get in? Did Mustard arrange it?"

"Go! Boss! You must win!"

"Shut up! Don't give the boss too much pressure!"

The visitors were unexpectedly Cheng Hong, Da Zhong, and other childhood friends and underlings. They should have been cheering in the audience, but they couldn't help themselves.

All Baimu smiled and ruffled their hair. "What are you worried about! I am the strongest! Don't be scared by some undefeated king!"

"Hmm!"

Everyone nodded quickly. Seeing All Baimu smiling calmly against the sunlight, they couldn't help but wet their eyes.

All Baimu was speechless. "You guys... can you stop setting flags for me?"

Seriously, this scene looked like a ragtag team in a sports anime about to be defeated by the protagonist group.

"Get back up there!"

He kicked them lightly. "Just shout 'Go' honestly! If the sound is too small, don't blame me for coming back and spanking you!"

"We won't go home until we're hoarse!"

"We will definitely let you hear our voices, Boss!"

Cheng Hong, Da Zhong, and others left reluctantly.

All Baimu stood alone in front of the tunnel, feeling inexplicably speechless. "These people are really..."

A sharp whistle came from outside.

He turned and walked away, his slender body stepping toward the light. "Still don't have enough confidence in me!"

*Cheers! *

A white light flashed before his eyes, and everything suddenly opened up.

Tens of thousands of faces of tens of thousands of people came into view, some excited, some fanatical, some agitated.

All Baimu stepped forward leisurely, looking at Leon opposite, and smiled: "It's time to show the true power!"

Everyone level ninety!

The invincible late-game lineup, move out! ===== CHAPTER 1430 =====
