Chapter 794

A seemingly easy battle.

In fact, it consumed a large amount of the Shiny Milotic's energy and spirit.

"Mil~"

It, aching all over, was extremely "lazy" as it acted like a spoiled child to its Trainer.

All Baimu noticed its slightly twitching tail and naturally understood Milotic's current situation, saying: "Use *Recover*, soothe yourself, and then rest assured and return to the Poké Ball to rest."

*Recover* certainly couldn't make it as brand new as when it started the battle, but at least it could relieve the pain.

"Milotic~"

Upon hearing this, Milotic's whole body shone, and its smooth body gradually relaxed.

Hariyama was the Island Kahuna's ace Pokémon after all; how could its basin-sized palms be so easy to block? Every time it took a hit, it made it doubt whether its tail was broken.

Fortunately, Milotic was extremely good at enduring, just like it climbed to the top of the waterfall countless times.

*Persistence is victory*!

All Baimu's garrison creed permeated every one of their battles; they can run slowly and their output can be less than ideal, but they absolutely cannot be unable to take a hit.

Pokémon that can't take a hit wouldn't dare to say they were raised by a Trainer.

So there was no special reason for Hariyama to lose to it. First, it's the cliché that Trainers don't like to use changing moves, and second, naturally, it's that it couldn't endure as well as it could.

At the same time.

Hala recalled the fainted Hariyama and comforted it: "Thank you, you have worked very hard."

Normal moves were used, and Z-Moves were used.

What else could be said if it still couldn't take down Milotic at this point?

It's just that his skills are not as good as others.

But to be honest, Hala was really shocked by All Baimu, and the last person who shocked him so much was Ash, who was personally gifted an Electrium Z by Tapu Koko.

Ash was naturally also very powerful; his ace Hariyama also lost to Ash's Pikachu.

It's just that the two gave him different shocks.

"Hiss..."

Hala took a deep breath and walked toward All Baimu, who had recalled Milotic into the ball: "That was a truly wonderful battle. Was that move Milotic used to block the *All-Out Pummeling* a Twister?"

"It's a combination of Twister and Water Ring. You might have heard of Pokémon Contests, where many outstanding Trainers shine on this stage, and that move just now belongs to a very 'common' coordination technique in Pokémon Contests."

All Baimu briefly described the situation.

Hala had indeed heard of it, nodded and said: "So it's Pokémon Contests! Someone approached me a while ago, hoping to introduce Pokémon Contests to Melemele Island, but I refused because I wasn't very familiar with this thing... Now it seems that it is necessary to consider it again."

Huh?

The Pokémon Contest Bureau approached Hala?

This news surprised All Baimu, and he thought, *Don't tell me I facilitated the entry of Pokémon Contests into the Alola region? *

Wallace and Lisia would definitely be very happy to know.

"If you are willing, that would naturally be the best!" He nodded hurriedly.

A smile appeared on Hala's face, and he became solemn again, saying: "I, Melemele Island Kahuna Hala, hereby announce that Island Challenge challenger All Baimu has passed the Grand Trial!"

The referee on the side clapped his hands.

"Thank you."

All Baimu bowed slightly and nodded to the smiling referee.

Hala rummaged through his pockets and took out a bracelet and an orange Z-Crystal respectively; the former was undoubtedly made from the Shining Stone earlier, and the latter—

Naturally, it was the standard reward for the Grand Trial, Fightinium Z.

"This is the reward for passing the Grand Trial, the Z-Ring you've been thinking about, and my personal gift—Fightinium Z."

"Thank you very much..."

The moment All Baimu saw it, he didn't reach out to take it, but looked around, searching for the figure of Tapu Koko.

Ash should have returned these two days; Tapu Koko shouldn't come to watch his battle.

Of course.

There are exceptions to everything.

"What's wrong?" Hala asked puzzled, looking around, wanting to know what All Baimu was looking for.

Suddenly.

He realized something and smiled: "Looking for Tapu Koko? Although the Grand Trial theoretically has its supervision, it generally won't—"

Before he finished speaking.

"Ya-woo—!!"

A melodious and sharp cry rang out.

A yellow figure suddenly flew out of the forest.

It came to the high point of the stage, overlooking the three people in the arena from above.

"Tapu Koko!"

Hala's voice almost changed; Ash's time was just a secret swap of Fightinium Z, but this time Tapu Koko actually appeared in person!?

You have to know that it might not be seen once or twice in a whole year in the past!

The referee watching from the side opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

Only All Baimu was still relatively calm.

He looked up and met Tapu Koko's eyes in the sky, not quite understanding why it, which had always been elusive, popped out this time.

Snatching the Fightinium Z?

It didn't seem to mean that.

All Baimu turned his head and glanced at the Fightinium Z, which was lying safely in Hala's palm.

And just when this Island Kahuna was about to say something to it, Tapu Koko suddenly looked into the distance and immediately turned and flew away.

It was as if it were passing by a certain scenic spot and suddenly stopped to take a careful look, only to find that it had more important things to do and left immediately.

"What does Tapu Koko mean by this?"

He couldn't help but ask Hala.

Logically speaking, this Island Kahuna is the person most familiar with the guardian deity.

Hala pondered for a while and smiled: "Perhaps it thinks highly of you? I mentioned before that our guardian deity is fickle and acts purely on preference."

Thinks highly of me?

Uh!

All Baimu suddenly remembered that Tapu Koko had arranged a side quest for Ash; don't tell me it wants to arrange him as a tool person too?

... Hard to say, hard to say.

He came back to his senses and accepted the Z-Ring and Fightinium Z.

"Do you want to try the Z-Move?"

Hala suddenly made a suggestion.

All Baimu was slightly startled and agreed without hesitation; tacit understanding like Ash and Pikachu's first use of a Z-Move didn't succeed.

To complete this thing, one must go through hard training, or have the guidance of a famous teacher.

Is there a better Z-Move teacher in the Alola region than the Island Kahuna?

Professor Kukui counts as one.

"I look forward to your guidance!"

He said to Hala, who walked off the stage, put on the Z-Ring, installed the Z-Crystal, and took out a Poké Ball to release Aggron.

The big monster has Fighting-type moves like *Superpower*.

It is very suitable as a foundation for *All-Out Pummeling*.

Z-Moves.

Pay attention to the Trainer and Pokémon's mental state becoming one, and resonating with the Z-Crystal.

All Baimu took a deep breath.

"Are you ready?"

"Goo-roar!"

Ordinary Trainers like to chant *chuunibyou* words or words that concentrate their spirit when using Z-Moves, even the laid-back Nanu would say a few.

He didn't have this habit.

Not to mention having the experience of Mega Evolution, he didn't know how easy it was for his spirit to concentrate and resonate with Aggron!

"Come on!"

All Baimu crossed his hands, and the Fightinium Z, which had no reaction before, suddenly lit up.

Under the gaze of the shocked referee and the smiling Hala, a fist light mark appeared in front of him.

Successfully triggered!

And then—

Fixed dance steps.

The movement of Fightinium Z is to step forward with the right foot and half-squat, then throw a series of straight punches.

This thing felt awkward when watching the anime, but doing it in reality is about the same as radio gymnastics.

How many people in the Middle Kingdom who have been to school haven't done gymnastics?

Therefore, All Baimu didn't blush at all; on the contrary, this set of movements made him feel that his connection with Aggron was even closer.

"Ha!"

When he finished the last punch in a *shiko-dachi* stance, the light flames lingering on him flew toward Aggron like a long snake, dyeing its silver-white body a touch of orange-red.

All Baimu shouted subconsciously: "All-Out Pummeling!"

"Goo-roar!"

Aggron let out a roar, its claws waving continuously like a whirlwind, and giant fire-red fists flew forward like continuous cannonballs!

*Rumble rumble rumble—!! *

An extremely terrifying vibration came from the air!

Hala's smile froze.

It wasn't that All Baimu's success on the first try was shocking, but that the *All-Out Pummeling* used by Aggron, a non-Fighting-type Pokémon, seemed to have much greater power than Hariyama's?

"What a terrifying power, it feels like it's more than Hariyama—uh!"

The sound from his ear made him turn his head to look, which also made the referee unable to finish his sentence.

But Hala knew exactly what the referee wanted to say.

It wasn't an illusion.

The *All-Out Pummeling* used by Aggron was indeed more powerful than Hariyama's.

There is only one possibility for this situation—

That is, Aggron is far stronger than Hariyama, and only in this way can a non-Fighting-type Pokémon exceed a Fighting-type Pokémon when using a Fighting-type Z-Move.

Hala suddenly realized.

All Baimu might have held back in the battle just now.

"No wonder Tapu Koko appeared..."

He vaguely guessed the reason for Tapu Koko's appearance. As the god of war, such a powerful Trainer appeared on the land it guarded, how could it be indifferent?

It didn't even surprise him if it directly broke out into a battle!

It's just.

In that case, why did Tapu Koko leave again? The festival stage was clearly a very good battle location.

Hala was puzzled.

On the festival stage.

Aggron finished the *All-Out Pummeling*, and it didn't have any big problems.

All Baimu panted.

"Ha... ha... it really consumes so much physical strength."

He thought his non-human physique could easily handle the negative effects of Z-Moves, but as a result, he was still so tired after using it. Don't tell me Z-Moves don't deduct physical strength by a fixed value, but by a percentage mode?

It's simply going to cost his life.

I hope the effect will improve after using it a few more times.

*Clap clap clap clap*—

The sound of applause rang out.

Hala walked up while clapping, praising: "Actually succeeded on the first try, how excellent! This is also rare in the Alola region!"

"I just have some experience with mental resonance."

All Baimu let his breathing calm down and said with a smile.

The Island Kahuna was quite surprised, "Experience with mental resonance?"

"Yes, you should have seen it too, it's Mega Evolution." He briefly explained the principle of Mega Evolution.

This made Hala show more admiration.

All Baimu's strength was indeed reasonable; although he didn't look old, the things he had experienced made even an old man like him feel far inferior.

Hala asked tentatively: "I heard that other regions have established positions like Elite Four and Champions for Trainers, All Baimu, you..."

The referee pricked up his ears.

He also felt that All Baimu might be a Champion from somewhere.

"No, no, I am currently working hard to become a Champion."

All Baimu shook his head modestly, and added with a smile, "In terms of strength alone, I consider myself not inferior to any Champion."

How many he can win is an unknown.

Before the Masters Eight tournament started, everyone thought that the Kalos region Champion Diantha was only slightly stronger than Iris, who had just become the Unova Champion.

And the result?

Lance crashed there!

Even if the battle process made people wonder if Lance was drunk, or didn't wake up in the morning, the result is indisputable.

If All Baimu were to face Diantha right now, he really wouldn't dare to say he was steady to win.

"I see."

Hala nodded understandingly.

The referee had an expression of "I told you so," and he believed All Baimu's words deeply.

——

Parting with Hala.

All Baimu looked at the Z-Ring, and a smile appeared on his face.

Got it!

The second system!

This thing, like Mega Evolution, is not limited by geographical environment and belongs to a special power that must be obtained.

By comparison, Dynamax and Terastallization don't matter whether you have them or not if you don't hang out in the Galar region and Paldea region.

Unless one day the energy named Galar particles by Rose covers the whole world.

But if so, what need does he have to go to extremes?

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon suddenly let out an unsatisfied cry.

He came back to his senses and comforted Hydreigon with a bit of apology: "Alright, alright, I'm sorry! Let's practice Darkinium Z when we go back! Let's go find Dragonium Z!"

This guy was extremely dissatisfied that the Pokémon that used the Z-Move for the first time just now wasn't it; it was agreed before that the Z-Move was for it!

Aggron and Mawile have Mega Evolution, it has Z-Moves, only then is it fair.

Why can Aggron also use Z-Moves?

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon twisted its left and right heads, bit the Trainer's hand and "chewed" back and forth, fully venting the unpleasantness in its heart.

Dragon is good.

Human is bad!

"My fault, my fault."

All Baimu couldn't help but apologize even more gently.

Although it was to comfort and encourage Hydreigon before, he told it that the Z-Move was prepared for it, and he did plan to let it use Z-Moves more in the future, while Aggron and Mawile continued to use Mega Evolution.

But the so-called "Zengzi kills the pig," words spoken are like water spilled.

What he did just now was just not okay.

The first time is very important to both people and Pokémon.

And although Hydreigon was extremely unhappy in its heart, when it heard the Trainer apologizing to it constantly and kissing its head, it quickly became happy again.

"Sha-sang~"

Z-Ring is bad! Trainer is good!

No matter how much the appearance changes, no matter how many heads it has.

It will always be that blind little dragon that can forget all troubles and act like a spoiled child to him as long as it is petted and kissed by the Trainer.

A moment later.

Hydreigon carried All Baimu back to the beach house.

Not far from the wooden house.

The black-clothed, black-trousered, yellow-haired boy stood there, showing a solemn expression that didn't fit his outfit and hairstyle at all.

"Gladion?"

All Baimu didn't expect this little rich kid to come to his door again.
