Chapter 763: It's Not Up to You!

Desert area.

Pokémon Center.

As the only oasis and supply point within dozens of kilometers, a large number of Trainers and Pokémon were resting here temporarily.

Looking around, it was crowded inside and out, and Trainers, Pokémon, and Chansey nurses pushing stretchers were coming and going at the entrance.

A sharp contrast to the desolation when he came last year.

It could be seen that in just a few days, the desert area had gathered outsiders that wouldn't have been there in the past few months, not to mention that the Trainers at the Pokémon Center were only a part, and more had already rushed into the desert to start searching.

"The temptation of Legendary Pokémon is indeed extraordinary."

All Baimu wore a sun-protection veil, and under his crotch was a hoverbike brought through the Shiny Gengar's four-dimensional belly.

He only had a motorcycle license for the Orre region; if he were caught by Officer Jenny while driving on the main roads in the Hoenn region, impounding the car and fines would be small matters, but getting on the newspaper would be a big deal.

There was no need to consider so much in the desert area.

And this time he was preparing for a secret operation to capture Regirock, avoiding his own exposure as much as possible, so the Pokémon he had used before definitely couldn't be sent out again.

Registeel and Lei Jiaisi would be the first choices for the next steps.

Thanks to the fact that both were obedient enough, commanding them wasn't difficult; they weren't good for battles against powerful Trainers like the Elite Four or Champions, but they were enough to capture Regirock.

Handing the motorcycle to Gengar, All Baimu tightened his veil and walked toward the Pokémon Center on foot.

After traveling for so long, it was time to find a place to rest.

Furthermore.

Relatively young Trainers were often particularly fond of sharing information with each other, especially major things like discovering Regirock's tracks.

Even if they couldn't capture it with their own strength, it was very common to take it out and show off to other little friends.

Maybe he could get some information and narrow down the search range.

Mainly letting Registeel and Lei Jiaisi help find it, there was no way to point out a clear direction directly; when he first arrived in the desert, All Baimu let them guide, one pointed to the east and the other pointed to the southeast.

The completely different directions gave him a headache.

Did Regirock split?

It was clearly not like that; the closer they were, the more sensitive the resonance, and conversely, if the distance was too far, there was only a relatively hazy reaction.

Therefore, it was best to conduct a carpet search to exclude various areas—

But doing so would waste several months!

By then, Pokémon Hunters would probably have used black technology like "fishing nets" to catch Regirock long ago, so where would it be his turn.

Approaching the oasis.

The cool breeze blowing from the automatic door from time to time made him experience a short-lived comfort.

All Baimu scanned the Trainers and Pokémon outside the gate, thinking that anyone dared to come and catch Legendary Pokémon.

You say you Zigzagoon, Silcoon and the like Pokémon are here for what?

At least wait until the final evolution!

Hope there are stronger Pokémon in the Poké Balls; cannon fodder shouldn't be played like that, afraid that they wouldn't even be able to dodge Regirock's Hyper Beam with such Pokémon.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the cool Pokémon Center lobby.

He could see a long queue in front of the reception counter, Nurse Joy was busy receiving Poké Balls, and Chansey nurses were running around pushing stretchers.

Every sofa and booth was full of people waiting for their Pokémon to finish their check-ups, and those who had no place to sit just leaned against the wall, which was quite relaxed and comfortable with their Pokémon.

Busy and noisy.

Not much different from the Pokémon Centers in big cities.

All Baimu bought a cold drink from the vending machine, lifted his veil and wandered around while drinking, eavesdropping on the chat content of those Trainers gathered together—

Nothing gained.

Although he didn't have high expectations from the beginning, most people hadn't even wandered around the desert for long, either they couldn't hold on or their Pokémon couldn't hold on, and they ran back in a hurry.

And there were Trainers who couldn't even beat wild Pokémon.

For example, a Makuhita pushed over by a Chansey nurse just now, lying on the stretcher covered in triangular thorns, calling out non-stop.

The Trainer was worried beside it.

Heard it was hit by a wild Cacturne using Needle Arm.

The whole cannon fodder group!

Weren't there any heavyweight Trainers?

"Gulu~"

All Baimu finished the cold drink, feeling that he had rested enough, and walked out of the Pokémon Center to avoid wasting more time.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the south of the desert, lowered his head and asked Porygon2: "South... if only it could narrow down the search range, is there any news on the internet?"

'None.'

Porygon2 constantly searched various forums and blogs, filtering out a large amount of junk information.

Under a sand dune far from the Pokémon Center, Gengar took out the hoverbike, and Registeel and Lei Jiaisi were called out again to point the direction.

"Dudu-dudu—"

"Jiji-jiji—"

This time the direction they pointed wasn't as extreme as last time, one pointed south, and the other pointed southeast.

All Baimu stood beside Lei Jiaisi, and the cold air, which was said to be minus two hundred degrees, not only didn't freeze him instantly, but made him feel like he was at the air outlet of an air conditioner.

Gengar in the shadow also quietly poked its head out and licked twice.

Hiss!

It shivered with pleasure.

Pokémon in the anime were a very magical kind of creature.

As long as it recognized you, regardless of whether you were its Trainer or not, their characteristics and special powers wouldn't hurt you anymore.

For example, the flames on the backs of Ponyta and Rapidash, the rough skin of Sharpedo and Garchomp, the magma body surface of Slugma and Magcargo, and the minus two hundred degree freezing air on Lei Jiaisi's body surface.

"Go south!"

All Baimu decided to trust Registeel, although its body surface was baked by the sun to the point of being able to roast meat, it was at least the most "steady" one.

Registeel would also have to rely on it for the next capture of Regirock.

Putting away the two giants, he straddled the hoverbike and galloped toward the south.

—

Deep in the desert.

The poisonous sun hung high in the sky, and the rolling heat waves seemed to want to dry everything.

Cacturne stood quietly in place, remaining motionless to avoid having their moisture taken away by the sunlight.

They were actually nocturnal Pokémon, and a large part of the reason for being active during the day was that they were first attacked by those Trainers and Pokémon who wanted to capture them.

Of course, there were no absolutes.

Sometimes they would also chase someone in groups during the day, like playing Red Light, Green Light, if the enemy didn't move, they wouldn't move, until the other party was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Suddenly.

The roar of an engine came from afar.

The Cacturne, whose sleep was disturbed, had a touch of gold appear in their pitch-black pupils, and then quickly dimmed.

There were especially many outsiders in the desert today.

They had made moves several times, and didn't want to look for trouble again.

Just...

The approaching engine sound suddenly became smaller, and a curious voice came over.

"Huh?"

All Baimu looked at the Cacturne about four or five meters away from him, then looked at the half-shoe exposed in the sand in front of it, and the protruding long strip of rock.

People and Pokémon?

Attacked by wild Cacturne?

Go up and confirm it.

If it was, then he had to save them; showing kindness in mainstream regions was generally not wrong, not to mention that he saw so many "cannon fodder groups" at the Pokémon Center just now.

Maybe it was also some little brat who wanted to chase dreams but slipped.

He said to that wild Cacturne:

"Buddy! Make a deal and let me save them?"

Pokémon in mainstream regions would hurt people, but the probability of killing people was really not high, but heaven knows how long that person had been buried in the sand.

"Nuosi!"

The wild Cacturne turned its head, its golden pupils a bit cold.

The surrounding wild Cacturne all "came alive," their movements slightly stiff as they pulled their legs out of the sand, intending to surround All Baimu.

They didn't look for trouble, but they weren't afraid of trouble either!

All Baimu wasn't surprised at all by the attitude of this group of guys; most Dark-type Pokémon weren't easy to talk to, like the Sharpedo school encountered earlier.

Absol was an exception.

"Fine, Lei Jiaisi, release a little bit of your freezing air forward."

He took out a Poké Ball and pressed the switch.

Bang!

"Jiji-jiji—Lei! Ji! Ai!"

The cross dot matrix flashed crazily.

In the terrified eyes of the Cacturne, Lei Jiaisi raised its crystal-pillar-like arms high, and the white mist surrounding its body spread forward as if blown by a violent wind.

【Icy Wind】!

In an instant.

Wherever the white mist passed, the sand instantly froze, and the translucent ice surface spread for more than ten meters.

And the feet of the Cacturne were all frozen by the cold ice, unable to move.

"Nuosi!"

"Nuosi-si!"

They struggled crazily, anxiously using their arms to hammer, using various moves to attack the cold ice on their legs, but they couldn't get out of trouble at all.

All Baimu got off the car and said to them: "Don't worry, it will melt in half a day."

No response was obtained.

He didn't care either, walked directly to the sand pile where the person was suspected to be buried, and lightly kicked the shoe with his foot—sure enough, he could feel something connected underneath.

"Do me a favor! You go dig that!"

He pointed to the rock block that looked like an arm to Lei Jiaisi, and he quickly dug out the person under the gravel.

It was actually a woman?

All Baimu looked at this person's attire and appearance.

The age seemed a bit old but should be under thirty, the breathing was relatively light and stable, there was no blockage in the mouth and nose, the limbs were intact without obvious trauma, and there were Poké Balls and some strange things on the waist.

Just high heat and a short faint.

He simply judged the other party's situation.

Boom!

A heavy sound of sand and soil flying came from Lei Jiaisi's "pulling a radish" in front.

A huge Rhyperior appeared on the sand, also showing a state of fainting.

Wow...

All Baimu looked at Rhyperior, then looked at the Cacturne still dealing with the ice, thinking that four-times weakness to Grass was really unbearable.

Logically speaking, a quite strong Pokémon was beaten up by a group of Cacturne.

"Thanks."

He thanked Lei Jiaisi, and only after listening to its "jiji-jiji" did he recall it into the ball.

At the same time, he threw the unlucky woman into the cargo box of the hoverbike, found Rhyperior's Poké Ball and put it away, and waved goodbye to the Cacturne.

The engine roared.

The hoverbike returned the same way.

The Cacturne, unable to get out of trouble, let out painful long cries at his back.

On the way back.

All Baimu called the Pokémon Center, asking the Chansey nurses to bring a stretcher out to meet them in advance, who would have thought that a weak voice would come from beside him.

"Wait, wait..."

"Huh?"

He turned his head, and suddenly saw that the other party had actually woken up, weakly reaching out to stop him from making the call.

"I'm calling the Pokémon Center, what's wrong?"

"Don't go, don't go to the Pokémon Center..." The woman said intermittently, but she was ultimately in a weak stage, and after saying these two sentences, she fainted again.

Don't go to the Pokémon Center?

Why?

All Baimu looked at this person's attire again; in every mainstream region, there was only one kind of person who didn't dare to go to the Pokémon Center—

Wanted criminals.

These people could be thieves who had committed many evils, or villains who snatched other people's Pokémon, or even members of some evil organization.

And there was only one kind of villain who could be attracted by Regirock.

Pokémon Hunters!

Ha!

You don't want to go, so you don't go? It's not up to you!

All Baimu pulled the throttle to the max, ready to call Officer Jenny at any time, but at this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from behind.

He turned his head and immediately saw a huge aircraft flying from behind.

The indicator light on the side of the aircraft flashed, which was a signal for him to stop.

Accomplices?

All Baimu thought for a moment and slowly reduced the speed until he braked to a stop.

The aircraft also gradually slowed down and stopped on the Gobi beach not far away.

A young man wearing a black hat, who didn't look like a good person, jumped out of the cabin door and approached while wailing.

"Boss! Woo woo woo!"

"Only one?"

All Baimu gripped the Poké Ball; he had the idea of catching this group of Pokémon Hunters in one fell swoop.

After all, it was one thing not to meet such people, but if he met them and pretended not to see them, he wouldn't have the face to chat with N or Lugia in the future.

The young man didn't notice his small movements at all, crying and hugging the woman in the cargo box, grabbing her shoulders and shaking them non-stop: "Boss! Boss, wake up!"

All Baimu: "..."

Was this afraid that the boss wouldn't die?

He couldn't help but say: "Stop shaking, your boss is injured and fainted, and has a high fever reaction, she needs an antipyretic injection and rest."

"Ah? Oh!"

The young man reacted stupidly and said gratefully: "You saved my boss, right? Thank you!"

All Baimu was even more speechless: "How do you know I saved your boss? What if your boss's fainting was caused by me?"

The young man shook his head decisively: "How is that possible! We were—"

Before he finished speaking.

The unconscious woman reached out to stop him from continuing, it seemed that the previous shaking really woke her up.

"Boss!" The young man was overjoyed.

The woman shook her head at him, looked at All Baimu who was lost in thought, and said weakly: "This friend, thank you for your helping hand. If you don't mind, come to our ship to rest, I really want to thank you."

All Baimu came back to his senses, his gaze collided with the woman's grateful eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Okay."

As the saying goes, don't enter a stranger's territory casually.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

But the problem was.

What if he wasn't a gentleman?

All Baimu, standing on the side of the hoverbike, unnoticeably took off the Poké Ball from his waist and threw it to the ground, and the grinning ghost face that emerged from the shadow swallowed them one by one.

The young man helped the woman onto the aircraft, All Baimu followed behind, thinking about what the man had just said that caused the woman to wake up suddenly to block his mouth.

What exactly was it?

It could be that they encountered Regirock but were beaten back, or it could be that they had already obtained Regirock but an accident happened.

No matter which one it was, it was worth going up! ===== CHAPTER 764 =====
