Chapter 833: Taking a Family Photo

That night.

All Baimu and Steelix were draped in the starry sky, roaming freely in the blue heavens.

The two looked down at the earth quietly, only to see the gloomy and lonely lead-gray mountains standing there, washed by the cold night, looking vast.

Wela Volcano.

The smallest of the three mountains on Ula'ula Island, it possessed the natural resource of geothermal energy, which the locals used to build a geothermal power plant, responsible for providing electricity to the residents of Ula'ula Island.

In the middle of the night, the geothermal power plant at the foot of the mountain was still brightly lit, the white mist in the huge exhaust pipes drifted without dispersing, and the wind noise generated for cooling was low.

He just took one look and didn't pay attention anymore.

"Ah~"

Going out in the middle of the night made him, who was used to getting up on time, yawn. His Pokémon, however, were full of spirit; the Hydreigon and the Dreepy siblings that flew with them had already flown far away to compete for the throne of speed.

Even Dragapult, who was usually shy to see people, revealed its figure, following far behind, enjoying the peace of no people and no things.

A group of night owls?

No.

It was just that they had stayed in their Poké Balls for too long during the day, and their exuberant energy hadn't been released through training.

This happened from time to time on days without leisure.

No way.

Although Aggron and the others satisfied All Baimu's fantasy of giant beasts, their overly large size made it impossible for them to appear together in public.

If he could carry one on his shoulder and stuff two in his bag like Ash, leading a dog on the left and a tiger on the right, plus a Rotom, he would definitely let them all out to act together.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

A sudden feeling of weightlessness surged into his heart, and he adjusted his sitting posture silently.

Steelix was by no means an excellent flying mount because it liked to dive headfirst after reaching its destination, experiencing the intense stimulation of going straight up and down.

If it could, it would even dig a hole on the spot, drill into the ground, and then turn a corner and rush out.

Just like a happy fish.

All Baimu naturally forbade Steelix from digging everywhere; Ula'ula Island wasn't Ferroseed Town! And right next to Wela Volcano was the Haina Desert where the Ruins of Abundance were located. If it made such a loud noise digging, what if it disturbed Tapu Bulu?

He didn't have the habit of knocking down someone else's umbrella just because he was getting wet.

"Hng~"

Steelix stopped at the top of the mountain reluctantly.

All Baimu ignored it, jumped to the bare ground on his own, and looked around at the environment of Wela Volcano.

Affected by geothermal heat, Wela Volcano basically had no plants, and the light gray rock surface was exposed, not feeling cold at all when touched, but rather warm.

It was said that this was because the magma deep underground heated the groundwater, and the groundwater flowed inside the mountain.

Not letting Steelix dig holes was because he was worried that this guy would be too fierce and drill into the groundwater vein, creating an artificial fountain in the middle of the night.

That movement.

*Tsk tsk! *

He said to the Poryphone that came out of his pocket: "Where is the east?"

The Poryphone flew to one place.

"Over here!"

He turned his head to look.

*Whoa! *

It just happened to avoid the two mountains in front! Awesome!

Mount Lanakila and Mount Hokulani on Ula'ula Island both towered into the clouds, with altitudes so high that their tops were covered with white snow, surrounded by layers of clouds and mist.

If the sunrise was in their direction, those two mountains would have to see it first, and then this side would see it.

All Baimu called out Gengar from the shadow, took out the camera, camera tripod, and other items from its stomach, and released his Pokémon one by one.

"Chee~ doh~"

Mawile yawned and leaned against the Blissey next to it.

It was a type that was prone to sleepiness; before, when it stayed in the ecological park without TV to watch, no desserts to eat, and no training, it would often curl up in its nest and sleep.

Blissey hugged Mawile into its arms with a loving face, wearing its very precious knitted nurse hat on its head.

Shiny Milotic twisted its snake body on the ground, spat out a large patch of clear water, felt much more comfortable, and then shook the tip of its tail at Aggron, beckoning it to come over.

The ground was too hot, and it was a bit uncomfortable, feeling much better after spitting water.

"... Goo roar."

The giant beast looked at the trainer fiddling with the camera, picked up the Galarian Corsola that was pretending to sleep on the ground with its claws, and walked over with heavy steps.

The shiny Gengar next to it jumped along, as if it had been shaken up by it.

Aggron was a bit helpless.

There were many naughty Pokémon in the team, but Gengar was the only one this mischievous.

The three Legendary Titans remained silent, only the dot matrix on their faces lighting up from time to time proved that they weren't statues that didn't move.

Not long after.

All Baimu adjusted the camera's position and began to arrange the Pokémon's standing positions.

Since they were taking photos, they might as well take a few family photos with the sunrise as a backdrop.

Because many Pokémon were large, it was inevitable to put the camera further away, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fit in the frame, and with Hydreigon and the Dreepy siblings not back yet, he had to leave space for them.

"Tsk, this won't work, there are too many big guys."

All Baimu arranged for a long time and felt it wouldn't work. After discussing with Porygon2, he found the problem was with the three Legendary Titans.

Being over three meters tall was indeed very high, but not high enough. Standing tightly would be blocked by Aggron's horns and Milotic's hair-like fins, and standing apart would easily go out of frame, needing adjustment.

He thought for a while and said to the three Legendary Titans: "Can you shrink?"

The three Legendary Titans of Brandon's family were about 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as All Baimu, and were captured by this Pyramid Pharaoh from all over the world.

They weren't weaker than the three he captured, and even became much stronger with Brandon's cultivation.

"Doo doo doo—"

"Dee dee dee—"

"Gee gee gee—"

"All of you stop! Lower the volume! If you can get bigger or smaller, just do it directly!" All Baimu covered his ears; in the quiet night, these three guys suddenly making such a sound was really noisy!

The roaring in the three Legendary Titans stopped abruptly.

Afterwards.

They started to shrink slowly, and in a moment, they successfully shrank to under two meters, and All Baimu was overjoyed.

"Good good good! This is—hey! Don't shrink anymore! Stop!"

It was too late to stop them.

Registeel and Regirock among the three Legendary Titans shrank to 1.5 meters, and Regice might have been a bit smarter, staying at 1.8 meters.

All Baimu's joy turned into speechlessness.

How to distribute this now—

Huh?

He suddenly took two steps back and said: "You two stand in the middle, you stand back."

Registeel and Regirock moved closer, Regice, who was originally in the middle, walked back, and the standing position of one big and two small instantly became clear.

All Baimu nodded, "This is not bad either."

He originally intended to let the three Legendary Titans act as a background board, but that would easily block the sunrise, so he changed to another set.

It was the one after the three Legendary Titans shrank.

He gathered all his Pokémon to stand in a lower position, and the frame indeed became much more compact, without having to worry about blocking the sunrise.

But another problem followed.

Missing people... or rather, dragons.

Hydreigon and the Dreepy siblings, these few who were racing, hadn't returned yet. He didn't understand where they had gone, not returning for a long time.

Fortunately, there was still some time before dawn.

Blissey was so idle that it built a tent for the sleepy Mawile, and Gengar, who helped, also set up tables and chairs and lit a campfire.

The charcoal in the fire bucket was burning, crackling.

All Baimu waited for a while longer, and suddenly heard an explosion in the distance.

"Hmm?"

He looked in the direction of the sound source and saw azure flames soaring into the sky, like a volcanic eruption, and an ominous premonition lingered in his heart.

Something happened!

All Baimu knew very well that this was definitely Hydreigon's handiwork, and turned to the Poryphone: "Turn the polygon into a hoverboard, let's hurry over!"

"Okay!"

Porygon2 flew out of the phone and turned into the shape of a hover surfboard using polygonization.

He hurried to jump on, called Gengar and Dragapult, and left the remaining Pokémon to stay in place and not act rashly.

Racing all the way.

Although he believed in Hydreigon's strength and wouldn't flip over in the Alola region, he still didn't dare to be too arbitrary.

Furthermore, the azure flames in the sky had already dissipated.

Over?

All Baimu frowned, and at the end of his line of sight, a tender yellow electric light suddenly flickered, very subtle and short, but he caught it.

Immediately, before he could drive Porygon2 to approach, two pitch-black things came rushing over, howling.

"Hee-ya—"

"Hee-ya!"

All Baimu raised one hand, palm facing up in front of him.

The next moment, the little Dreepy brother rushed toward his face with the momentum of a suicide squad, followed closely by the little Dreepy sister, and the two dragons slapped into his palm one after another.

Catching these two unlucky kids, his gaze fell to the back.

The pitch-black evil dragon appeared with its prey in its mouth, three pairs of scarlet eyes flashing with eerie light.

He looked at Hydreigon, and Hydreigon looked at him.

"Woo..."

The "Husky Dragon" spat the huge prey on the ground, its face full of fawning expressions.

All Baimu stepped forward silently, knocked each head hard, and scolded: "Who told you! To bring! It back!"

The prey.

Was a huge Vikavolt, the kind that was several times larger than its peers.

In this part of Alola, if a Pokémon grew to this size, it basically wouldn't be gifted by nature; they only had one possibility—

Totem Pokémon!

Wela Volcano actually had a Totem Pokémon? How did he not know about this!

Alright.

The Totem Raticate in the forest of Melemele Island wasn't in the game settings either. As one of the special magnetic field locations, Wela Volcano had wild Charjabug active everywhere, so the existence of a Totem Vikavolt was understandable.

But Hydreigon actually beat it up and brought it back...

Wasn't this just asking for trouble!

All Baimu observed the state of the Totem Vikavolt from afar; maybe Hydreigon's hand was a bit heavy, and it was still fainting.

He struggled for a while and decided to take it back together.

When surrounded by Aggron and the others, the Totem Vikavolt should be able to stay calm.

Mountain top.

The fainted Totem Vikavolt attracted a crowd of Pokémon to watch.

Gengar even picked up a fire stick and poked it twice.

Causing the Blissey nurse to complain.

"Happy!"

The Blissey, with a heart to save the world, quickly began to treat this unlucky guy brought back by Hydreigon; the scorching dragon flames had left quite a few scars on its body.

All Baimu looked at the time.

The sunrise time in the Alola region had always been very early, and if he calculated carefully, it should be about time.

As if to verify his judgment.

The stars dimmed.

A touch of white light spread from the horizon, gradually tearing the night curtain apart.

All Baimu hurried to say: "Hurry hurry! Everyone stand still!"

The Pokémon gathered in a hurry, and even Blissey decisively postponed the treatment of the Totem Vikavolt and stood in its place.

The main body of the picture was:

Steelix with its huge head as the base, All Baimu sitting cross-legged on top holding Mawile, Porygon2 floating on the side in phone form, the three heads of Hydreigon pressing on his left and right shoulders and head, and the Dreepy siblings located near the heads on the left and right sides.

Blissey and Gengar, these two fat guys, stood on both sides of All Baimu like guards, Dragapult shyly hovered over Gengar's head, and next to them were the three Legendary Titans, two short and one tall.

Milotic was on Blissey's side, the two good sisters hugging happily, Aggron stood next to Milotic, with the reluctant Corsola placed on its head.

The sun rose.

The moment dawn broke.

"Cheese!"

*Click! *

The set camera captured this precious moment.

A big family about to head to the top of the world.

——

The Totem Vikavolt woke up slowly.

As soon as it opened its eyes, many "fierce and evil" Pokémon filled its vision, making its little heart thump violently.

"Koo-wah!"

It examined the surroundings nervously, the shell on its back opened with a *click*, and the translucent insect wings, as regular as a compass, expanded.

At the same time.

It saw All Baimu in the back.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, Totem Vikavolt, Hydreigon didn't mean it." The human who felt strange to it said so.

The Totem Vikavolt was a bit terrified inside; it was so scared by Hydreigon that it didn't dare... hmm? What was on this human's wrist?

It saw the Z-Ring, and the terror turned into fury.

"Koo-wah!"

The Totem Vikavolt hissed indignantly at All Baimu, instantly becoming exceptionally tough.

Damn Island Challenge challenger!

Letting Pokémon run around in the middle of the night, and when they broke into someone else's sleeping place, not only did they not surrender, but they dared to fight back!

Is there no rule of law!

Didn't mean it, could you do that if you meant it!?

All Baimu looked at the Totem Vikavolt's angry eyes and scratched his cheek helplessly.

He had already learned the specific ins and outs from Hydreigon; in short, when the three were chasing each other, they accidentally broke into the Totem Vikavolt's nest, causing the Charjabug's stress-induced attack.

Hydreigon initially wanted to lead the two little Dreepy to retreat, but was blocked by the Totem Vikavolt and continued to attack them.

This pissed Hydreigon off; its temper wasn't great to begin with, so it started burning the insect nest on the spot, beating the Charjabug with morning sickness to the ground, and forcibly kidnapped the Totem Vikavolt.

The matter was caused by his own family, so even if the Totem Vikavolt moved first, All Baimu didn't intend to push all the responsibility to the opposite side.

He explained that he was conducting the trial set by the Island King and expressed his willingness to provide compensation.

Trial?

After hearing this, the Totem Vikavolt was no longer hissing fiercely.

"Cooperating" with the Island Challenge challenger's trial was the duty of every Pokémon; this was something they knew when they became Totem Pokémon.

Therefore, although it was unlucky this morning, since the other party was conducting a trial, it couldn't continue to lose its temper.

Not only that.

It also had to provide the Z-Crystal it guarded to the human in front of it.

Damn!

So angry!

The Totem Vikavolt vibrated its insect wings restlessly, making a buzzing sound like a cicada. ===== CHAPTER 834 =====
