Chapter 1457: Observation Permissions

The bear disciple sat on a small stool, its dust-covered messy fur now cleaned up, cradling a cup of juice in its paws, looking like a plush toy that had just been mauled.

"Guma……"

Something's not right!

It naturally knew Baimu was strong, but strong to this degree — that was a bit unreasonable.

The bear disciple was somewhat troubled.

Its original intention was to fight the other party to a standstill, then mutually admire each other and harmoniously swear an oath of mutual improvement.

Now, three battles, three defeats — the script was completely thrown into chaos!

What to do about this!

The bear disciple let its arms hang limply, its gaze drifting toward Baimu, who was still interacting with the livestream audience ahead, and sighed worriedly.

Per the agreement, from today onward the two were partners.

"Wu."

A strange sound came from the side; the bear disciple turned its head and discovered a rather peculiar-looking Soruoya.

Not only was its whole body covered in white fur, its expression also looked like it had suffered a tremendous grievance.

However, in the eyes it turned toward the bear disciple, there were a few threads of pity: "Wu~"

"Guma?"

The bear disciple didn't understand.

Be careful?

What does "the coming days might not be easy" mean?

The Wash-Cui Soruoya didn't say more; it knew better than any Pokémon how cruel this gang of "outlaws" was — the bear disciple had come in committing a heinous offense, and the days ahead would be full of suffering!

A small warning was already the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

Bringing trouble upon itself was absolutely not what the Wash-Cui Soruoya wished; it sneakily slipped away, thinking no one had noticed its little maneuver.

Little did it know all the Pokémon had long since observed its behavior.

They just didn't bother to pay it any mind.

Baimu soon said goodbye to the livestream; he and Shanren had agreed to stream at least one hour every day for this half-month, and today counted as day one.

"Hu."

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, turned his head, and beckoned to the bear disciple, "Come."

The bear disciple set down its half-drunk juice, ran over in small steps, lifted its head to look straight at him, "Guma!"

"Pick a Poké Ball you like."

Baimu smiled and had the Shiny Gengar produce a full set of Poké Balls for the bear disciple to choose from.

As a rare new member combining strength, feel, and appearance, he was rather invested.

However, the bear disciple paid no attention to such trivial details.

It casually selected the Heavy Ball whose color resembled its fur, and very proactively pressed the switch facing it.

Pa!

Light sucked it in; seconds later the Poké Ball stopped shaking, sparkling stars bursting forth.

Baimu opened the Heavy Ball with satisfaction, "Looking forward to working together from now on! Bear Disciple!"

"Guma!"

The bear disciple, now released, responded loudly, but its expression soon turned a bit strange — because Baimu's hands were roaming all over its body.

One moment pinching its paws, the next squeezing its ears, occasionally poking its cheeks……

Wait!

Not there!

The bear disciple abruptly covered its bottom, flew back a distance with a mix of embarrassment and anger, "Guma!?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm getting to know your body structure to facilitate future massages," Baimu said with an unchanged expression.

The bear disciple was shocked and suspicious — what massage requires pinching the tail?

He continued righteously, "The tail base is a nerve-dense area, fragile and crucial; a proper martial arts man should not fuss over trifles!"

Bear Disciple: "……"

The Rotom Phone interjected before the trainer could bluff further: "One word — the bear disciple is female."

"Female is the same! Female——"

Baimu's voice cut off abruptly; he suddenly leaned in close to the Rotom Phone, reading the bear disciple's data.

【Pokémon: Bear Disciple】

【Type: Fighting】

【Gender: Female】

【Height: 65cm / 11kg】

【Ability: Inner Focus】

【Level: 33】

【Moves: Glare / Rock Smash / Endure / Focus Energy / Mirror Move】

【Scary Face / Headbutt / Brick Break / Foresight / Bulk Up】

He fell silent.

A female Bear Disciple?

What was this thing's gender ratio again?

"A seven-to-one chance and I hit it!" Baimu twitched the corner of his mouth.

The bear disciple's face showed bewilderment, "Guma?"

So what if it's female?

What's the problem?

"No problem, just feel that you embody the essence of heaven and earth, standing alone in a class of your own — truly rare." He hurriedly waved his hands.

Baimu indeed liked Pokemon with lots of fur and softness, after all the hand-feel when petting them was nice.

Absolutely not the kind of top-tier perverted furry enthusiast who would be greatly disappointed upon discovering a fluffy's gender is female.

"Guma?"

The bear disciple didn't understand.

But it didn't care that much either, clenching its little fists in high spirits, "Guma!"

Let's train!

The previous defeat had stimulated its heart, making this diligent Pokemon want to start training as soon as possible, to strive and become stronger.

Since Baimu was that formidable, he must have mastered some decent training methods.

The bear disciple had come precisely for this!

"Can't wait? Fine, let's train a bit then." Baimu glanced at the time.

Originally to welcome the bear disciple, he had specially requested a day off from Yamanashi, otherwise he would have had to return to Ore with the main group.

Unexpectedly the process went abnormally smoothly.

With Baimu and the bear disciple taking a liking to each other, it was resolved in just half an hour; the flight might be rebookable.

—He missed Platinum Silver Mountain a bit.

The environment of Courtyard City wasn't bad, and the top-floor suite of the Lendroth Hotel was great too, but ultimately it wasn't as beautiful as his home environment.

Better go back early!

He thought to himself, clapping his hands continuously to signal the Pokemon to move, "Let the bear disciple witness our rhythm! You guys, Bossgodora, can sit this one out!"

Only yesterday they fought so many of Satoshi's Pokemon, so Bossgodora and the others could rest a little.

"Sha~"

The Galarian Corsola very consciously rolled under Bossgodora, trying to avoid being seen by Baimu this way.

"Gurou……"

Bossgodora was speechless.

Fortunately, although Baimu discovered this slacker, he didn't come over to force it.

The hotel courtyard was certainly not small, but it was far from being called large; the Pokemon could hardly move around normally, a little training would be enough.

The bear disciple watched the lively and bustling atmosphere, eyes full of little stars.

It really liked this atmosphere of everyone training together, thought it wouldn't encounter it after leaving the Armor Island Dojo, who knew Baimu's place was the same!

Great!

The bear disciple happily joined the big training group.

—

Half an hour later.

The bear disciple lay face to the grass, back to the sky, beside it the equally limp and collapsed Hisuian Zorua.

"Wu~"

"Guma!"

The bear disciple forcibly endured the fatigue and muscle soreness, propping up its upper body, its eyes holding a hint of disbelief and admiration.

Worthy of the World Monarch's team!

The intensity is really high!

The fat fox beside it side-eyed, "Wu~"

Save it, you're all too tired to even get up.

It felt this guy looked a bit not too smart, training without knowing how to evenly distribute its stamina.

And, this is only how far out of how far?

Hisuian Zorua was a Pokemon that had tasted Baimu's complete training plan, deeply knowing the current training was merely the youth version of the youth version.

This stupid bear still has a lot of suffering ahead!

Hisuian Zorua's nasty nature was provoked by the bear disciple; before this, due to being too weak itself, it had maintained a pitiful posture.

But in essence, it wasn't much different from an ordinary Zorua.

A huge shadow cast down from the front.

"Yiya~"

The smug Hawlucha looked down on the bear disciple, its eyes full of provocation and disdain, "Yiya? Yiya!"

Not too good, a tasteless scrub!

"……"

Blue veins popped on the bear disciple's forehead; what it hated most was this kind of arrogant attitude.

Unfortunately the training had indeed exhausted all its stamina; it truly couldn't get up to fight Hawlucha, so it could only swallow this grievance for now.

Once it recovered, it would definitely have a good reasoning session with Hawlucha!

"Yi——"

Hawlucha was about to continue provoking when Baimu picked it up, "Alright, rest properly while resting, I'll give you a massage to relax."

Under his technique, the Hawlucha that wanted to struggle soon gave up; the bear disciple also properly experienced professional Pokemon massage technique, fully understanding the reason behind Baimu's earlier touching here and touching there.

So it was a misunderstanding on its part!

The bear apprentice felt a few more degrees of guilt toward Baimu in his heart; when Baimu's hand reached toward his tail, he was indeed a little unaccustomed, but he forced himself to endure and let Baimu do as he pleased.

"Guh-ma..."

"Is the force strong?"

Baimu pinched the bear apprentice's short, bristly tail, feeling quite pleased inside.

At noon.

An Xin'er woke up.

This little miss had slept relatively late the previous night, so much so that when Karuni said goodbye to her and kissed her cheek, she showed no reaction at all.

Hu Pa woke up a little earlier, saw that she was still asleep, and simply went back to sleep in his cage.

"Ugh..."

The dazed An Xin'er brushed the hair from the corner of her mouth, dazedly glanced at the happiness egg that had come to wake her, "Good morning, happiness egg, I'll get up right away to make breakfast..."

"Happy~"

It's already noon, you know.

The happiness egg gazed at her affectionately, while placing the alarm clock in front of An Xin'er.

Upon seeing the time clearly, An Xin'er was shocked, "Eleven o'clock! Eleven o'clock!"

She jumped up suddenly and ran to wash up.

After leaving the room and finding Baimu, she realized in her conversation with him that she had missed quite a few things.

This time, having come together to the Palace Gate Arena, due to Baimu and Karuni's influence, she truly got to know many new friends.

Such as Xiao Zhi, Alice, and also Nemo and Papa.

Alas, because she was overly fond of sleeping, she didn't have time to say goodbye to them.

An Xin'er was greatly struck.

"Hahaha, don't worry, you still have a chance to meet them." Baimu stroked An Xin'er's full head of black hair, "We should also be heading back soon, after we finish lunch."

Hu Pa, his mouth full of doughnuts, heard this and said, "Going back already? Hu Pa will open the door!"

"Wait——never mind, it's fine too."

Baimu originally wanted to refuse, but considering that as the newly crowned World King, he was drawing too much attention, even with his concealment technique, he would inevitably cause a stir after boarding the plane.

So he simply passed through the light wheel directly, saving several hours of time.

After finishing the meal.

Baimu contacted Masde, who was out shopping, and told him about his success in subduing the bear apprentice.

"Not bad, little Bai Bai! Now this old man can rest easy!"

Masde laughed heartily, he had deliberately brought the bear apprentice over consecutively, naturally hoping the two would get along.

The bear apprentice differs from other Pokémon, being a being that mutually selects with its trainer.

One person may be strong, but not necessarily to its taste.

Long ago, Champion Dan Di proved this point.

Nowadays, Baimu and the bear apprentice being able to look at each other pleasantly is naturally the best possible situation.

After bidding farewell to Masde.

Baimu finally brought his whole family aboard the light wheel back to Ore.

After being apart for many days, Platinum Silver Mountain remained peaceful as ever.

No unexpected situations arose despite the departure of many Pokémon.

Ba Erza, Mei Ya Li, and Hu Pa returned to the Creation Valley; they have to return home several times a year, impossible to stay forever on Platinum Silver Mountain.

On the other hand, the Shiny Liekongzuo——

It actually came back!

Baimu was surprised to see the Shiny Liekongzuo lounging on the mountain peak for a rest, having thought he wouldn't see it again for another two or three years, never expecting it to fly back from Palace Gate City on its own!

"Ohng!!"

Regarding Baimu's return, the Shiny Liekongzuo harbored strong anticipation.

Through communication, they learned that it had run away early on partly because it wasn't used to living with large numbers of humans, and partly because it wanted to keep the suspense and watch the human champion's match from a first-person perspective.

Isn't that better than watching from far away in the sky?

"Something..."

Baimu didn't know what to say at first, then generously satisfied the Shiny Liekongzuo's request.

On the other side.

The bear apprentice, upon first arrival, appeared somewhat unaccustomed.

His understanding of Baimu was limited to his strength and his ability to raise Pokémon, never knowing he actually owned a mountain range!

Quite like Masde, really!

No wonder Masde so highly recommended him as a partner!

The bear apprentice suddenly understood everything.

Then it associated it with the overly delicious food at noon, and for a moment felt intense turmoil.

Originally thought he would have to endure hardship, but discovered he had come to enjoy blessings!

"Meow~"

A strange call echoed from nearby.

The bear apprentice discovered it was the strange Pokémon that had previously wanted to replace Baimu and battle it.

It looked somewhat like a Meow Meow.

The Alolan Meow Meow lazily waved its paw, signaling the bear apprentice to follow it, "Meow~"

As the steward of Platinum Silver Mountain, it should introduce the overall structure of Platinum Silver Mountain to the bear apprentice, even if it doesn't like this guy who came up and wanted to challenge the trainer.

The bear apprentice is serious and persistent in character, and his thoughts are also quite meticulous, so it can feel that Alolan Meow Meow doesn't like itself very much.

So what?

To gain a person's or Pokémon's approval, one must rely solely on strength to conquer!

It came to explore the pinnacle of martial arts, not to play house with other Pokémon!

The bear apprentice understands this very clearly, so even if its arrival wasn't welcomed by some Pokémon, it still doesn't matter.

After All Baimu returned to Platinum Silver Mountain, the prophets conferred with Shanren, learning that he was still on the plane, and immediately felt the convenience of Hu Pa's light ring.

Then, he went to Ourei Academy together with An Xin'er and Hu Pa.

Without causing too much disturbance among other students, All Baimu found Shengcai, Daluo, and Pilu.

"Congratulations! All Baimu!"

The three naturally watched the entire process of the Eight Masters, and admired All Baimu greatly for being able to stand out from among them.

He smiled and said: "Thank you, have you been at school for a while now? Do you want to go back?"

The three looked at each other.

Having been at Ourei Academy for almost a month, the thought of returning to the future Miare City has somewhat existed, but it's also truly not that much.

"Maybe we should go back and take a look." Shengcai thought of Ta Ni, who hadn't come along.

Then Daluo and Pilu remembered that the Super Z Team still had a captain missing, so they agreed and returned to the dormitory to organize their personal belongings, and along the way said goodbye to friends.

Afternoon.

An Xin'er returned together with the three; originally she hadn't prepared to leave, but hearing All Baimu say that he should go back to see his mother, she then agreed.

And while seeing off a few little rascals who had sneaked over to the parallel world to play, the simulator countdown below All Baimu's eye corner completely returned to zero.

A line of text jumped out with the light screen.
