Chapter 767

What is Regirock doing with the nutritional egg?

The answer is—

Nothing, just holding it up to "look" at it.

Although he didn't understand what was so good about looking at an egg, if he had to guess simply, perhaps it had been given an egg by some Blissey before?

All Baimu could only think so, and patted Blissey's head.

Suddenly having three ancestors who were on a hunger strike in a family of gluttons, and who didn't need any extra help, it was normal for this guy to panic.

It couldn't help its naturally people-pleasing personality.

Then again.

The self-healing ability of these guys is truly strong; the Pokémon Center trip was a waste.

All Baimu carefully examined Regirock's torso, shoulders, and back, confirming that the cracks squeezed out by Registeel's Superpower embrace had all disappeared.

On Registeel's side, the dents of various sizes caused by being smashed by rocks had also bulged back out.

Eternal Pokémon—

Perpetual motion machine?

No wonder it was fine after being sealed for so many years.

He silently opened his phone's Pokédex to confirm Regirock's data.

【Pokémon: Regirock】

【Type: Rock】

【Gender: None】

【Height: 307cm/461kg】

【Ability: Clear Body】

【Level: 75】

【Moves: Arm Hammer/Iron Head/Zap Cannon/Lock-On/Explosion/Iron Defense】

【Ancient Power/Stomp/Rock Throw/Charge Beam/Stomp/Curse】

【Stone Edge/Superpower/Hyper Beam/Hidden Power/Sandstorm】

It has one less Amnesia than Registeel, and one more Sandstorm.

Sandstorm must have been learned in the last two days?

Because he remembered that Regice's move list didn't have Hail, and it had one less Iron Defense than Registeel.

Amazing.

It actually learned new moves automatically as the environment changed.

All Baimu didn't open Regice's Pokédex; the base stats of the three are actually about the same, with Registeel being the tallest, Regice second, and Regirock the shortest.

And Regirock is the heaviest, Registeel second, and Regice the lightest.

"Learning a few extra moves automatically saves me the effort."

He nodded affirmatively at Regirock.

On the other side.

Aggron, Shiny Milotic, and Porygon2 stepped forward one after another to greet Regirock.

They received the "hum-hum-hum" response they had hoped for.

"Goo-roar..."

Aggron sighed, its eyes revealing a weariness that didn't match its age.

It's not easy being the ace...

Logically speaking, Registeel and Regice had been in the team for almost a week; if it were Shiny Gengar or Porygon, everyone would be quite familiar by now.

As it turned out, these two were still stuck at the communication stage.

Milotic didn't pay much attention to that, happily chatting with Regirock, looking like they were having a heated conversation, even though they didn't speak the same language, they managed to have questions and answers.

It left Porygon2 next door stunned.

"Sha-sang."

Hydreigon looked coldly at the three Legendary Giants, rejecting anyone who might threaten its competition for the ace spot.

Mawile was more reserved; in other words, it liked to put on airs. If the three Legendary Giants didn't take the initiative to greet it, it wouldn't greet them either.

As for Galar Corsola...

It was sleeping.

It wasn't pretending; it was truly sleeping. It had a fixed one-hour nap after every meal, and then adjusted based on whether it needed to train.

The total daily fragmented sleep time exceeded fourteen hours.

It could be called the team's number one sleeper; perhaps only Snorlax and Komala could compete with it in the world.

The socially anxious Dragapult hid behind All Baimu, clutching his shoulder and peering at the three Legendary Giants; it felt that these three guys who couldn't speak were quite eerie.

Could it be that they were also afraid of strangers?

Pretending to be unable to speak?

Thinking of how these guys had been sealed by humans deep in caves, the imaginative Dragapult showed a look of pity toward the three Legendary Giants.

It used to hate humans, and even now it didn't like anyone other than its Trainer, but at least it could turn invisible to avoid them; these three guys couldn't even turn invisible and were huge.

So pitiful.

Unlike the sympathetic Dragapult, the lazy Steelix was lying on the ground, like a heavy truck pulling an empty flatbed.

Steelix had no interest in anything other than digging holes and farming.

It was just a cold, heartless digging snake.

Furthermore, the Trainer didn't let it out to dig in the desert today, so it was feeling a bit uncomfortable and was sulking.

All Baimu wasn't blind; seeing Steelix was unhappy, he went to coax it, promising to take it back to the desert to dig tomorrow.

This big guy with an even bigger temper finally became happy.

"Roar!"

Steelix raised its massive head, like a towering mountain peak.

In the park under the moonlight.

The grass rustled.

The wild Volbeat and Illumise that had been hiding ate the Pokéblocks given by Blissey, changing from uneasy to at ease.

Their tail lights flashed; although not as bright as streetlights, they had a unique charm.

Not long after.

Other wild Pokémon appeared one after another; many were shy, but there were also bold ones that learned from the Dreepy siblings and climbed onto the three Legendary Giants and Steelix.

Thanks to All Baimu's previous order, Regice restrained its freezing air.

Therefore, even if they were rowdy, there was no need to worry about a few Pokémon ice sculptures suddenly appearing in the park.

However.

Even so, there were very few Pokémon willing to get close to Regice.

Who made it too cold?

He believed it would be more popular in the Orre region than it was now, as there were many wild Pokémon there forced to adapt to the local hot environment.

Perhaps in a few decades or centuries, it wouldn't be impossible for an Orre form to appear.

Regirock was still holding the egg Blissey gave it, and a mischievous wild Pokémon wanted to touch it, but was scared away by Gengar.

"Gengar!"

The gray fatty turned its head to look at Regirock, wondering when this big guy, who seemed to be made of rock, planned to eat it.

Anyway, the egg couldn't be dropped, or Blissey would definitely be sad if it saw.

Letting the crowd of Pokémon frolic on their own.

All Baimu took out his phone to check his blog:

"The people should have mostly cleared out, right?"

Ranked third on the Pokéblog trending list was 【Mysterious Person Captures Legendary Pokémon Regirock】, with a group photo of the boy, girl, a person in black, and the three Legendary Giants attached.

Everyone was smiling brightly, like they were on an outing.

Without a doubt.

This was taken specifically before everyone left; someone even wanted to include the Pokémon hunters, but All Baimu stopped them in time.

That's not how you court death.

Thanks to this photo, the cannon fodder groups rushing to the desert to try their luck came with high hopes and returned disappointed; he believed they would all be gone within two days.

Officer Jenny at the Pokémon Center should be relieved, right?

Would she feel a sense of desolation?

After all, such a lively Pokémon Center might not happen again for decades.

After the Hoenn region trains started running, more and more new-generation Trainers chose to take the train to new cities, even Ash from the travel arc was the same.

Places like the desert, if not for the unique Pokémon or the scenery, were rarely visited.

The night deepened.

All Baimu sat on the bench and looked at the Pokémon that didn't look sleepy, knowing that these guys rested in their Poké Balls during the day and were full of energy now.

On the contrary, he felt a bit sleepy after being tossed around all day.

Tomorrow morning, he would wander around the desert, and in the afternoon, he would go to Rustboro City to sponge off Steven and Liza, asking about the mining progress in Kalos; what if he could get a Gengarite?

Finding this thing was entirely dependent on luck.

His three Mega Stones were one given by Steven, one from Meteor Falls, and one from a wild Sableye in Granite Cave.

He hadn't put any effort into finding them, so he was completely clueless about how to find a Gengarite.

"Ah~"

All Baimu yawned, hands in his pockets, looking up at the moon.

The Mega Stone issue wasn't urgent; if Steven didn't have one, he could ask Shanren to get one from the Kalos League; there would always be a chance to get one.

Hmm?

Did he forget to send the photo to Shanren?

All Baimu suddenly remembered he hadn't reported to his boss yet, so he curled his lips, opened the phone's camera function, and "click" took a picture of the three Legendary Giants surrounded by various Pokémon under the moonlight.

What time is it in the Orre region now?

Who cares!

Send!

He pressed the lock screen and chuckled, then suddenly restrained his smile, because he vaguely felt from the screen that he looked a lot like Gengar when he smiled.

It had only been a few months and his smile was automatically trending toward Gengar?

How strange.

All Baimu felt like a Ditto, with an aura comparable to Hydreigon, a personality like Aggron, a pride in his bones like Mawile, and a love for taking care of people like Blissey...

Now he was starting to become like the other Pokémon.

He wasn't a Ditto, was he?

While pondering, his phone vibrated suddenly.

He opened it to see an emoji of Alakazam losing its temper, with the word "Scram" next to it.

"Hahahaha..."

Teasing that workaholic when he had nothing to do saved him from burying his head in work; he had almost never seen Shanren take a day off back in Pyrite Town.

Wouldn't the human constitution in the Pokémon anime world collapse if he did that?

All Baimu sent several more group photos with the three Legendary Giants, each receiving a reply with a Shanren emoji; he could almost see a resentful face through these pictures.

Actually, Shanren might not necessarily envy how many Legendary Pokémon he had captured; it might be boredom, or more likely, he was humoring him.

In short.

This chat of exchanging emojis and photos was quite pleasant.

And Regirock ultimately didn't eat the nutritional egg.

But it was willing to accept it, which was enough to comfort Blissey, unlike Registeel and Regice, who just shouted "gee-gee-doo-doo" and wouldn't reach out to take it.

——

The next day.

The sun was fierce.

All Baimu specially changed his outfit, standing on a sand dune watching Steelix thrashing back and forth like a whale, crashing into the ground with a boom one moment, and popping its head out with a boom the next.

It was somewhat similar to the mechanical scorpion thrashing in the desert in the first Transformers movie.

The commotion was surprisingly large, scaring the wild Pokémon so they didn't dare to approach.

"So fierce."

Feeling the world trembling crazily and seeing Steelix's extremely excited state, he couldn't help but reflect on the fact that abilities are indeed forged through training.

Although Aggron used plenty of impact moves, in reality, if both sides were at the same level, it would likely lose to Steelix in terms of impact.

No way around it.

Who made it crash every day?

A while ago, All Baimu even developed a major ultimate move for Steelix based on this; he believed it would definitely come in handy in the future.

The three Legendary Giants were all sent to Professor Higo this morning.

It drew praise from the other party for his high efficiency, and Asahi also said he would award him the honorary title of Legendary Pokémon Tracker.

Arven didn't say anything on the surface, but one could see his conviction in him from his eyes.

All Baimu didn't dare to be arrogant.

After all, Arven could capture the three Legendary Giants himself next year, although they were the smaller kind, but who said smaller ones were weak?

And after being humble, he specifically mentioned the problem of the three Legendary Giants not being able to "speak" the language of modern Pokémon, which made Professor Higo very interested, boldly guessing that there might be some secret hidden within—

Looking at everything like the origin of Pokémon, that's how research is.

All Baimu didn't care about that; he hoped to use Professor Higo's brain and connections to decipher the "language" of the three Legendary Giants, making it easier for him to communicate in the future.

Although he had the Heart of God, he couldn't maintain the state of the Heart of God at all times.

"Don't run too far!"

He shouted at the distant Steelix; the big guy, having played itself crazy, seemed not to hear, until he blew the whistle he had used in the Pyrite Colosseum.

Beep—

The sharp whistle made it turn its head.

It was just like training a dog.

All Baimu felt quite helpless; with this wild and uninhibited posture, if he didn't say it, who would know Steelix was actually female?

Fine.

Stereotyping.

After tossing around for almost a whole morning.

All Baimu, feeling like he had finished walking the "dog," left with the still-eager Steelix, leaving behind holes of all sizes on the ground.

Perhaps these holes would become habitats for some wild Pokémon in the future.

Or perhaps they would soon be filled with sand.

Who knows.

Returning to the town, All Baimu finished his Mediterranean-style lunch and boarded the train to Rustboro City; the Pokémon by his side today happened to be Gengar.

"Gengar!"

Gengar sat obediently, its eyes slightly nervous.

"Why are you starting to panic? I'm just asking casually. If it doesn't work, we'll just leave; it just so happens there's an airport there that can go to Alola."

All Baimu reached out and stroked its spine, which was covered in jagged round spikes like a dinosaur; like its body, the spikes were soft.

It felt a bit like jelly.

Gengar turned its head, its usually bright smile a bit stiff at the moment.

Although it was mentally prepared, it was inevitable to feel nervous when it came to the crunch.

It wasn't the first time, so what was it nervous about?

Gengar couldn't figure it out, but All Baimu could understand it; if psychological trauma were so easy to disappear, Blissey wouldn't have had to torture itself for so long.

He said: "Play a game to relax."

Gengar nodded: "Gen!"

Taking two handheld consoles that looked like Switches from its stomach, it gave one to the Trainer and silently opened "Pokémon Splatoon."

It liked the feeling of fighting alongside the Trainer.

It was just that compared to its usual high standard, Gengar was absent-minded today, to the point that it lost games it could usually win.

It was All Baimu's first time seeing such a lost Gengar, but he couldn't make Gengar happy in a few words, so he could only accompany it silently.

When a Pokémon feels uneasy, the Trainer should try their best to bring it a sense of security.

Past two in the afternoon.

Rustboro City arrived.
