Chapter 812

Totem Lurantis and Castform were very panicked.

"Lurantis..."

"Castform..."

They couldn't know Tapu Lele's intention, but seeing it laugh after touching Lei Jiaisi, they felt something was wrong and retreated backward.

Being interested by an Island Guardian, did they still need to say what would happen?

It's going to start!

As All Baimu, Totem Lurantis, and the others expected, Tapu Lele laughed and raised its hands high, a touch of pink-purple halo spreading in the air, gradually shrouding this Totem residence into pink-purple.

【Psychic Surge】!

Tapu Lele's ability could change the environment in a certain range into Psychic Terrain.

While Psychic Terrain is in effect, all Pokémon "standing" on the ground are immune to the opponent's priority moves, and the power of Psychic-type moves is slightly increased.

It's going to act!

All Baimu, who had already retreated with Blissey, saw Tapu Lele giggling and shrinking into its shell, and decisively said: "Amnesia!"

Buzz!!

Colorful light flashed!

Fairy-type energy spread over Tapu Lele's body surface, turning into dazzling pink-colored energy flames, and then rushed toward Lei Jiaisi like a cannonball!

【Dazzling Gleam】!

"Di-di-di—"

Lei Jiaisi's cross-shaped dot matrix on its face flickered, as if passively receiving the move.

Boom!

Exploding smoke rose!

"Lele~"

Tapu Lele giggled and retreated, its face full of innocent smiles.

But when the dust settled, Lei Jiaisi's unscathed ice body made the smile of this pink-but-black Island Guardian freeze.

Innate powerful Special Defense plus the further increase from Amnesia, Tapu Lele's 【Dazzling Gleam】, which was forcibly used as a physical attack, was certainly tricky, but it couldn't do anything to it.

"Di-di-di—Re~ Gi~ Ice?"

The buzzing sound of the Ice Pillar was slightly strange, as if it were puzzled:

Does this move have any power?

Tapu Lele's already stiff smile became even harder to maintain.

No.

It had already started to get angry!

Totem Lurantis and Castform, hiding in the distance, were trembling; if they weren't worried that the two would turn the place upside down, they might have run away long ago.

"Lele-fu!"

Tapu Lele raised its hands, and pitch-black light balls pulsating with emotion appeared, making its cute little face look exceptionally gloomy.

It waved its hand suddenly!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The pitch-black light balls under the blessing of Psychic Terrain swallowed the light like small black holes, flying toward Lei Jiaisi one after another!

【Psyshock】!

But All Baimu wasn't idle either; seeing Tapu Lele angry, he immediately gave an order.

"Ancient Power!"

"Di-di-di—Re! Gi! Ice!"

A ring of earthy-yellow light appeared around Lei Jiaisi, and energy surged forward like a tide, colliding with the light balls of Psyshock!

Boom!

The moves canceled each other out—

It didn't succeed, and the "fish" that slipped through the net passed through the noisy smoke and hit various parts of Lei Jiaisi!

Pop, pop, pop!

Only sounds like glass shattering rang out one after another, and the ice body that was unscathed before was now covered in cracks, looking ferocious and terrifying!

"Di-di-di—"

The cross-shaped dot matrix flickered wildly.

Psyshock belonged to Special Attack moves, but created damage based on the opponent's Physical Defense, and Lei Jiaisi's Physical Defense was far inferior to its Special Defense.

Seeing Lei Jiaisi's "miserable" state.

Tapu Lele's face instantly turned from cloudy to sunny, and its small hands covered its mouth and laughed lightly, "Fu-fu-fu~"

Look.

If the attack has no effect, it throws a tantrum; if it has an effect, it laughs.

"Di-di-di—"

Lei Jiaisi's huge ice body twitched slightly, and orange-red air waves suddenly rose beneath it; seeing this, All Baimu showed a smile similar to Tapu Lele's.

With no reaction for a long time, he thought he had lost the bet.

Sure enough, the old saying is good:

Whose child cries every day, and who has a gambler who loses every day!

The source of Akala Island's "craziness," the pink-but-black Tapu Lele.

You deserve this disaster today!

All Baimu shouted: "Ice Beam!"

"Di-di-di—Re! Gi! Ice!"

Lei Jiaisi raised its prismatic ice-crystal arms, and ice-blue lightning gathered rapidly in the middle; the intense light even suppressed the pink-purple light of the Psychic Terrain, illuminating the entire Totem residence.

Tapu Lele was not surprised but happy, its eyes curved into crescents: "Lele!"

Buzz!!

One after another, trembling pitch-black light balls appeared in the air, more numerous than before and a size larger; seeing its eyes shining, there was a trend of getting more excited the more it fought.

The next instant.

The ice-blue lightning rushed toward Tapu Lele like a ferocious dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, and the light balls all over the sky danced against the lightning, like meteors falling from the sky, "whooshing" forward!

The two sides collided fiercely like lightning and flint!

Boom!!

The earth shook!

Cold ice mist mixed with smoke rolled away with the strong wind; wherever it passed, it was covered with a layer of frost, and the grass and trees that had already been blown by the Blizzard suffered again, and many small flowers and plants were simply blown to pieces.

Totem Lurantis, hiding in the corner and trembling, had its eyes change from crimson to blood-red.

It was a Grass-type Pokémon.

Which plant in the Totem residence hadn't been cared for by it and Castform?

If it was destroyed in its battle with the challenger, then so be it; at least it had something to do with it.

But at this moment...

"Castform~"

Castform noticed that its partner's emotions were wrong and comforted it softly.

Totem Lurantis ignored it, staring fixedly at Tapu Lele and Lei Jiaisi, its expression exceptionally gloomy.

Of course.

All Baimu was unaware of these conditions.

As long as he entered the battle state, his attention would be highly concentrated; unless someone clearly showed hostility toward him, it was difficult for him to notice what was happening elsewhere.

"Fu-fu-fu~"

A light laugh rang out.

The smoke and dust in mid-air dissipated, revealing Tapu Lele's figure playing wantonly.

There were traces of large patches of frost on its shell, obviously affected by the ice mist after the explosion, but the range of influence was limited to the shell.

"Hey!"

All Baimu was very satisfied.

It wasn't the first day that the Three Legendary Giants had poor output; he didn't have high requirements for the Ice Pillar, as long as it could rival Tapu Lele in the Psychic Terrain.

Now Lei Jiaisi had exceeded his expectations, and could take a little advantage in a head-on confrontation.

A little advantage.

That was also an advantage!

"Snow—"

His order wasn't finished when his sleeve was suddenly pulled by Blissey next to him.

"Happy~"

Its cry was extremely light, as if suggesting something.

All Baimu turned his head to look at Blissey, then looked at the situation around him and Totem Lurantis, who was staring at this side from afar, and after a moment of silence, he put down the hand he was about to raise.

Sigh...

Alright, alright.

He shouted at Tapu Lele: "Ceasefire! This place is not suitable as a battlefield!"

"Lele?"

Tapu Lele's gaze on Lei Jiaisi shifted; it looked at All Baimu, and its eyes revealed a hint of annoyance and confusion.

Battle maniacs hated being interrupted in battle.

"The aftermath just now destroyed too many flowers, plants, and trees; if you want to fight... go somewhere else next time." All Baimu took out a Pokéball, preparing to recall Lei Jiaisi.

It was impossible for the battle between Legendary Pokémon not to affect other places.

Especially after they got truly fired up.

He looked at the stump filled with berries not far away.

Yikes!

A mess!

Blew up someone's warehouse of stored food!

All Baimu felt his scalp tingle, and was glad that Blissey reminded him in time.

If they kept fighting for a while, according to his idea of suppressing Tapu Lele, he would have to smash all the big trees around, and the ground would have to sink three feet deep.

Blissey usually wouldn't interrupt his battle, and the big egg wasn't a personality good at admonishing, but it had always been exceptionally keen on emotional perception.

Totem Lurantis's resentment made it impossible to ignore.

Coupled with the Trainer's previous good feelings toward Totem Lurantis, Blissey couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

The reminder was right!

He rubbed Blissey's head.

"Lele..."

Tapu Lele, whose face didn't look good, seemed to react as well; its big eyes, painted with pastel colors, swept across the ground, and its expression suddenly became extremely awkward.

It was crazy, but it also cherished the natural environment of Akala Island.

Wouldn't it be sad to see it become like this?

Definitely sad.

After all, it was the land it had guarded for thousands and tens of thousands of years; yesterday, when the forest in the south of the shaded jungle caught fire, it didn't return in time, and it had already regretted seeing a patch of dead wood...

Tapu Lele noticed the resentful gaze from behind and didn't dare to turn its head.

Pink-but-black is only black when cut open; usually, when not looking for people or Pokémon to fight, it is very "pink," as "pink" as it can be.

"Le."

Tapu Lele saw All Baimu recall Lei Jiaisi into the ball, and after a little thought, decided—

Run.

That's right, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, I don't know if it had no face to face Totem Lurantis, or if it had the idea of leaving him behind to solve the problem, and went away without looking back.

All Baimu's mouth twitched, "This guy..."

If it weren't for worrying about causing further damage to the shaded jungle, he would have had to make it pink-but-black and then cut it pink!

He looked at Totem Lurantis, who was walking out tremblingly, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Comfort it?

He was one of the culprits who caused all this; he couldn't find anyone other than Tapu Lele to share the blame, who let Lei Jiaisi be a pure alchemical golem that listened to orders!

"That, sorry Lurantis, the flowers, plants, and trees destroyed in the battle, and those berries, I will help you replant them!"

All Baimu decided to make up for his mistakes.

Totem Lurantis looked at this human it recognized, but had no resentment, shaking its head slightly to refuse his proposal.

It was very reasonable and understood why this battle started.

"Lurantis..."

It looked at the direction Tapu Lele flew, and its crimson insect eyes were filled with complex colors.

All Baimu understood its thoughts a little bit.

Then his scalp tingled.

This...

He didn't want to cause a conflict between the Totem Pokémon and the Island Guardian because of himself, although it seemed that the former touching the latter was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But how could Tapu Lele treat Totem Lurantis?

Beat it up and make it obediently submit?

That would be a bit too crazy, crazy not like a Pokémon at all.

All Baimu looked at Blissey and decided to ask Island Kahuna Olivia for help; this person was undoubtedly a more reliable mediator to ease the relationship than him.

Regardless of whether Totem Lurantis had the kind of thoughts he thought, it was definitely right to mention it.

"I... let's eat something."

He called out the Shiny Gengar, pulled the corner of his mouth to smile at Totem Lurantis and Castform, and for the first time was so unconfident in his area of expertise.

Hopefully food therapy could comfort it.

——

Under Wela Volcano.

All Baimu muttered to Blissey while walking.

"Ms. Olivia should be reliable; I'll come back to see the situation in two days, anyway, there's nothing big."

"Happy!"

His proposal was praised.

Just now on the hillside, he found Olivia, who was walking around with Totem Salazzle, and hurriedly went up to tell her the specific situation of the shaded jungle; this person agreed to it completely.

Should be reliable.

Olivia's external style of doing things was just a bit silly, and she was born with the ability to fall on flat ground.

It didn't mean she was incapable.

People who were incapable couldn't inherit the position of Island Kahuna from Kiawe's grandfather.

Be reasonable.

The fact that this position, which was most easily hereditary, actually had capable people succeeding, could only be said that, setting aside the inclination of the Island Guardian, it must also have something to do with the good atmosphere of the Pokémon anime world.

Walk from Paniola Ranch.

This time, he didn't meet Kiawe.

It was only noon, and people hadn't finished school yet.

All Baimu took a detour and arrived at the intricate Route 5.

This place was adjacent to Brooklet Hill, connected to the shaded jungle above, Paniola Ranch below, and Wela Volcano towering on the right.

"Come on! The third one!"

He decisively walked to the left, and before long, arrived in front of a wonder.

Only to see the waterfall layered like terraced fields, and then pouring into the boundless sea with a rumble, looking shocking at a glance.

All Baimu picked his ears; the sound of the waterfall was too loud.

And there was another very important problem.

There were so many big and small ponds here... which pond was the Totem Wishiwashi in?

He silently took out a ball.

"Leave it to you!"

Bang!

Light flashed.

Dragapult and the two Dreepy appeared, looking at the Trainer together.

"Why look at me? One dragon per pond, see what wild Pokémon are there, and if there are many Wishiwashi."

All Baimu poked the Poryphone screen.

Actually, many things were already agreed upon yesterday, but these three dragons insisted on listening again before they dared to go into the water.

Alright.

Being steady would never go wrong.

"Dra-pult~"

"Hee-ya~!" ×2

The three dragons plunged into the water with a splash, and before long, their traces were gone.

All Baimu wasn't worried that they would be in danger; their innate invisibility was enough to protect this gang, and even if the Totem Wishiwashi gathered vigilantly after seeing them, that was a good thing!

He took an inflatable kayak out of Gengar's stomach, and just as he pushed the kayak into the water and took out the fishing rod.

"Wait a minute! The angler over there!"

An old but still vigorous voice came from behind.

All Baimu turned his head at the sound.

An old man with gray-white hair dressed like an angler walked out leisurely, putting on airs: "Old man is a fishing master on Akala Island; you came here to battle the Totem of the pond, right?"

"So what if I am?"

"Humph, humph, humph, then you have to get my permission!" The old man suddenly made a gesture of gripping the fishing rod, "Old man has forty years of fishing experience; during this period, I have battled the pond Totem countless times, fought wits and courage, life-and-death struggles, and survived near-death experiences, but unfortunately, I still haven't caught it."

"... Oh."

He rolled his eyes.

This bragging old man once fooled Ash and Lana, and even cheated a Feebas from Lana.

It was just that the lie was exposed later, and Ash and Lana never ignored him again.

No need to pay attention.

He stepped onto the inflatable kayak and, amidst the old man's sighing of "not listening to the old man's words leads to suffering," moved toward the middle section of the pond.
