Chapter 796: The Protagonists of Sun and Moon

I have to say.

The Sun and Moon protagonist group is truly tender-faced.

Among them, only Kiawe, with his dark skin, looks a bit more mature; the others are more childish than the last.

All Baimu scanned the group, and suddenly a fat yellow mouse flew in front of him.

"Pika!"

A cheerful cry rang out, and then he felt his chin being rubbed by something furry. He looked down, and who else could it be but Pikachu?

"Long time no see, Pikachu, you're still as cute as ever!"

All Baimu happily kneaded Pikachu's cheeks and long ears. As the latter let out a comfortable sound, its red electric sacs flickered with tiny sparks.

This was a sign of emotional excitement.

Pikachu: "Chu~"

He had always liked this yellow fat mouse, so he hadn't skimped on currying favor with it during his previous encounters with Ash.

Pikachu had a personality that responded to kindness rather than force; it treated others well if they treated it well, so the two naturally became very close.

Of course.

This also had to do with Pokémon like Aggron; their relationship with Pikachu was also quite good.

"Pika!"

Pikachu stretched out a paw to greet the Hydreigon beside him.

"Sha-sang."

Hydreigon responded for the first time in a long while.

It actually wasn't that easy to get jealous; in most cases, it only got jealous when it wanted to attract All Baimu's attention or felt threatened in some way.

And Hydreigon understood that Pikachu had no ability to threaten it, because Pikachu could never leave that seemingly silly human, and their relationship was the same as its own with its Trainer.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries with Pikachu.

All Baimu shifted his gaze and walked toward Professor Kukui, who was surprised by his familiarity with Ash, saying softly:

"Professor! Thank you for your guidance, and for putting in a good word for me with the Island Kahuna. I have already received the consent of Island Kahuna Hala and have been permitted to participate in the Island Challenge."

Professor Kukui gave a hearty laugh, "I didn't really help much, don't mention it, hahaha. But seriously, this is very worth celebrating. Are you free tonight? Come to my lab for a party?"

All Baimu: "Of course I'm free..."

On the other side.

The Rotom Pokédex snapped a photo of Hydreigon's appearance and explained: "Data updated, Roto! Hydreigon, Dark and Dragon type..."

"Hehe!"

Ash laughed as he recounted his meeting with All Baimu. Although strictly speaking they had only met twice, it could be considered a deep friendship.

At least that's what he thought.

And having just seen Brock and Misty not long ago, he had met another acquaintance upon returning.

This made Ash especially pleasantly surprised.

Kiawe caught sight of All Baimu's wrist and said, "Ash, your friend must have been in the Alola region for a while. Look at what's on his hand."

Everyone heard this and looked over.

The blue-haired bob-cut girl, Lana, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "A Z-Ring! Is he also participating in the Island Challenge?"

"Really! That's a Darkium Z on it!"

The orange-haired chubby boy, Sophocles, chimed in.

Ash grinned and said, "Awesome! As expected of him!"

He had witnessed All Baimu's ability with his own eyes back on Mount Lanakila. Although the Island Challenge had a certain level of difficulty, he didn't think it would stump All Baimu.

The wheat-skinned green-haired girl, Mallow, moved the sleeping Nebby to the table, saving Lillie, who couldn't move, "Lillie, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Lillie said shyly.

Fortunately, All Baimu's appearance meant everyone wasn't paying too much attention to her expression and actions, otherwise she would have had to find a hole to crawl into.

The snow-white Alolan Vulpix let out a comforting cry: "Kon~"

"Thank you, Snowy." Lillie managed to force a smile.

At the same time.

All Baimu, having finished chatting with Professor Kukui, came to Ash's side and asked a question he already knew the answer to: "Ash, why are you going to school here?"

"That's a long story... In any case, I'm also challenging the Island Challenge!"

Ash held up his Z-Ring boastfully, the Electrium Z on it particularly eye-catching.

"Pika!"

Pikachu jumped onto the table and cutely demonstrated the dance moves for the Electrium Z, "Pika Pika!"

Compared to the previous seasons, the expressions and "face-acting" Pikachu displayed in Sun and Moon could be said to have increased geometrically; it was truly liberating its nature.

Of course, Ash's face-acting was no less than its own.

"I see." All Baimu nodded slightly and looked at Kiawe and the others, saying, "These must be your classmates."

Hearing this, the group hurriedly introduced themselves, including the Rotom Pokédex.

This overly intelligent Pokédex caused the Porygon2 in his pocket to stir restlessly again.

Fortunately, the message from Dr. Akihabara this morning had arrived just in time, so Porygon2 didn't rush out to beat up the Rotom Pokédex out of jealousy for Dr. Akihabara.

And when Lillie lifted her skirt and bowed very ladylike to greet him, All Baimu deliberately pondered for a moment.

He asked: "Is Lillie an only child?"

Lillie was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "No... I have an older brother."

All Baimu laughed, "That's right. I once met a boy who looked four or five parts like you. His name is Gladion. I suppose he must be your brother, right?"

This really wasn't a lie; the siblings did look extremely alike.

"You've met Gladion!"

Who knew Ash would be even more excited than Lillie, the actual sister, asking repeatedly: "Is he okay? Did you battle?"

All Baimu looked at him strangely and said: "We've battled a few times. As for whether he's okay... I think he's doing quite well. He eats and sleeps well, and is working hard to achieve his goals. There's no problem."

Hearing this, the slight worry in Lillie's heart dissipated.

Her brother being fine was more important than anything else.

"What Pokémon is this?"

All Baimu finally looked at the soundly sleeping Nebby and asked with great interest.

Ash said: "We call it Nebby. We're not sure what kind of Pokémon it is yet... I found it on the side of the road."

"It's highly likely to be a new species of Pokémon, Roto!" the Rotom Pokédex added.

"A new species!"

All Baimu took out his camera and asked: "Can I take a few photos?"

Naturally, Ash couldn't refuse.

Click, click.

Although he hadn't intercepted Nebby halfway, for All Baimu, being able to see it with his own eyes, touch it with his own hands, and leave behind a few photos was already enough.

He wasn't arrogant enough to want to stick his oar into every Legendary Pokémon.

Even if they were indeed very attractive.

After further obtaining Ash's permission, All Baimu reached out.

"Hmm... the texture is a bit like fluffy cotton, but much finer than cotton." He didn't dare use force; if Nebby woke up, it would use "Hyper Voice."

This child hadn't been born for two days, and no one could stand it when it cried loudly.

They were preparing to continue chatting, but Professor Kukui clapped his hands, "Alright, save the talk for after class. The craft class isn't over yet."

The group realized belatedly that they hadn't finished molding their clay.

"Ah! We're not going to make it!"

"My Turtonator—"

"I'm almost done!"

For a time, wails were heard everywhere.

But there were also those who had finished, looking a bit proud.

It was just that they realized Nebby had done something strange to them earlier, and they began to discuss their respective encounters.

All Baimu listened to their descriptions and understood that this was Nebby using Teleport to fulfill their "wishes," sending them to places they wanted to go for a short trip.

—Just by being able to sense what others were thinking in their hearts, Nebby was worthy of the name Legendary Pokémon.

Ding-ding~ Ding-ding-ding!

The bell for the end of class, rung by the Komala, came from outside.

"Break time! Everyone don't worry, the next class is still craft class!" Professor Kukui's words made the nervous group relax.

Ash slumped in his chair, muttering: "I thought we really weren't going to make it..."

In front of him was an unfinished Pikachu—

Uh.

Mimikyu?

All Baimu saw Pikachu's silent expression and knew it was quite dissatisfied with its own clay statue.

A craft genius!

"All Baimu! Let me take you on a tour of the campus!"

Ash jumped up from his seat, volunteering.

He decisively refused: "Thanks, but I've already walked around a few times. Tell me about your experiences since coming to the Alola region?"

In the original plot, Ash didn't win the Manalo Conference. He was very curious if there were any changes in this regard, and whether it would affect other places.

"Sure!"

Ash was impulsive and sat down to recount his experiences since coming to the Alola region—

No changes at all.

It was exactly the same as the original plot; winning this tournament was as if he hadn't won at all, and even he himself didn't really care much about it.

As expected of a boy aiming to be a Pokémon Master.

All Baimu took the opportunity to pick up Rowlet from Ash's schoolbag and gave it a good "rua" while it was sound asleep.

So cute!

"Goo..."

Rowlet scratched with its claws, as if to relieve the twitching.

The dazed and cute posture made All Baimu feel emotional—

What is a Pokémon you least want to evolve?

Decidueye might be a little cool, but in front of the charming Rowlet, it's nothing.

He suddenly had an urge to catch Rowlet...

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon's low growl sounded in his ear. All Baimu turned his head and saw the former looking dissatisfied, so he knew his thoughts had been seen through by it.

You guy... can't I just think about it? Is it a crime to think?

He reluctantly put Rowlet down.

"What about you, All Baimu?"

Ash, having finished talking about his own affairs, asked excitedly in return.

This also made the others who were curious about him prick up their ears.

All Baimu laughed: "As for me, I only came to the Alola region last week because I heard there was an incredible power here..."

He briefly mentioned his trial.

Naturally, he wouldn't reveal the deal with Team Rocket.

Hearing that he had borrowed the Totem Raticate and its Alolan Raticate pack to search for the Sparkling Stone, the boys and girls were full of amazement.

"You can do that!?" Sophocles gasped.

Mallow exclaimed with admiration, "To actually be able to get a Totem Pokémon to help, I never thought of that before!"

"Yeah..."

Lana nodded and couldn't help but glance at her own Z-Ring.

"Totem Pokémon are also Pokémon. As long as they are Pokémon, they can be communicated with and negotiated with." All Baimu didn't think this was anything strange and said to Professor Kukui: "Don't you think so?"

Professor Kukui paused and responded: "That's right."

Professor Kukui had a Totem Trevenant accompany him in his childhood, whom he called "Grandpa Trevenant," but unfortunately, Grandpa Trevenant had long since "passed away."

Lillie listened quietly on the side. She actually really wanted to ask All Baimu more about her brother.

It was just that her brother wasn't willing to go home, so asking more wouldn't make any sense.

Speaking of the Grand Trial.

Professor Kukui couldn't help but say: "All Baimu, I heard from the Island Kahuna, your Pokémon are truly amazing! He even thought a Champion from some region had come!"

"Old Mr. Hala is too kind..." All Baimu was very surprised that Hala would praise him like that in private.

If it were someone else, they might not dare to tell others after losing so miserably.

The Island Kahuna's heart was indeed broad.

Ash, not knowing the situation, said excitedly: "Champion? All Baimu, are you already a Champion?"

All Baimu replied: "Still working on it."

The local Alolan boys and girls were discussing what a Champion was.

"Let me explain, Roto!"

The Rotom Pokédex volunteered to look up the information, "Beep! Champion, the winner of the League Conference and the Champion League is the Champion, the most amazing Trainer in a region!"

A... general explanation.

All Baimu's mouth twitched.

Kiawe suddenly spoke up: "Mr. All Baimu."

"Call me All Baimu. There's not much difference in our ages, no need to be so polite." He turned his head to respond.

Only eight years.

What does that count for?

Hearing this, Kiawe said solemnly: "May I have your permission to battle you?"

"Ah!"

Ash suddenly reacted; he hadn't battled All Baimu even now.

The previous few times they met, there were serious things to do, or they had just finished the League Conference and went to eat, so they never found an opportunity.

"Me too, me too!" He hurriedly raised his hand, not wanting to miss this great opportunity.

The others had no interest in battling, but were very interested in watching.

All Baimu looked at the burning gazes of Ash and Kiawe and nodded slightly, "Sure, but..."

Ding-ding~ Ding-ding-ding!

"Class time is up, let's talk about battling at noon." He spread his hands.

Professor Kukui also clapped his hands with a smile, "Class has started!"

Ash and Kiawe immediately wilted like a Primeape whose ability had been changed to Truant.

——

Time quickly reached noon.

Since the Pokémon School didn't provide lunch, everyone suggested sharing a little with All Baimu, so they could scrape together a meal.

However.

"It's fine, I have snacks here."

How could he take food from a group of children for nothing? He snapped his fingers to summon the Shiny Gengar and took out a pile of snacks from its fourth-dimensional belly.

The Rotom Pokédex was shocked, "Storing things in Gengar's belly! There's such a thing, Roto!"

Sophocles' eyes lit up, "These are! Snacks not available in the Alola region!"

"Really, Kalos product, Hoenn product... Hmm? Orre product? Where is Orre?" Mallow picked up various snacks to look at their place of origin, and was stunned when she saw Orre.

All Baimu laughed: "Orre is my hometown, a relatively remote place. These snacks taste pretty good, you guys try them."

"Thank you very much!"

The greedy Sophocles wasn't polite at all.

And Mallow, as a little cook, couldn't help but be curious about food from the outside world, "Thanks~"

Ash grabbed and ate them carelessly; he had never been polite with friends.

"Ah! This snack! You guys must try it! I ate it often when I was a kid!"

With someone taking the lead, the remaining Lana and Kiawe naturally responded.

Even Lillie, under Ash's instigation, tasted a little of everything. All Baimu had originally thought that a young lady like her would be indifferent to such snacks.

Not long after.

Lunch time ended.

Battle time had arrived. ===== CHAPTER 797 =====
