Chapter 834: Snow Mountain Conflict

All Baimu felt like he had been scolded by the Totem Vikavolt.

But he had no evidence.

"My apology is sincere. Look, things have reached this point, and being angry won't help. Try this."

The bribery and apology-specific food, Pokéblocks, appeared once again.

The Totem Vikavolt looked at him, then at the Pokéblocks, and suddenly felt that what this human said made some sense.

Things had reached this point, and there was no point in continuing to be angry.

It couldn't beat this bunch of fierce guys anyway; just consider the scolding a moment ago as collecting interest.

Picking up the Pokéblocks with its claws and stuffing them into the mouth at the bottom of its jaw, the Totem Vikavolt chewed, and its mood improved a lot.

Delicious! Edible!

There weren't many things to eat in this part of Wela Volcano, and even fewer delicious things; the delicious Pokéblocks were enough to make it forgive a lot of unpleasantness.

And when it saw All Baimu take out many more Pokéblocks and place them in front of it, the Totem Vikavolt instantly forgot everything that had just happened, its golden eyes full of softness and approval.

Just like a gacha game player seeing a game developer compensate with paid gacha items.

"Koo-wah!"

The Totem Vikavolt took off vertically, its compass-shaped insect wings vibrating at high frequency, and its thin, reed-like claws grabbed the Pokéblocks packed in jars, flying away with a *rumble* like a fighter jet.

This guy...

Is a bit cool!

All Baimu sincerely believed that this Pokémon, whose jaw resembled a weapon but whose primary use was an electromagnetic railgun, had cool aspects.

The Poryphone said: "It told you to wait a moment."

"Okay!"

All Baimu was originally prepared to follow, but stopped after hearing this, looked at the towering Mount Lanakila and Mount Hokulani in the distance for a while, and started to build a fire to make breakfast.

The hotel only provided an exquisite set meal for one person and one Pokémon, and judging from last night's dinner...

It wasn't very good.

Maybe the traditional Johto evening meal didn't suit his taste.

The styles of dishes in Japan were already few, and in the anime world, there were even fewer, leading to instant curry rice becoming the main theme of picnics.

All Baimu couldn't help but be glad that he had obtained the chef's memories early.

Even if it was just pseudo-Chinese food.

He turned his head to look at the three Legendary Titans, one big and two small, and said: "You guys can change back!"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Gee gee gee—"

"Dee dee dee—"

Amidst the noisy strange sounds, the three Legendary Titans grew taller section by section, and soon returned to their factory mode.

Just now, All Baimu almost thought that if he didn't shout stop, they would continue to grow.

Not long after, the familiar buzzing cicada sound came from the horizon. The Totem Vikavolt hovered above, dropped a cyan Z-Crystal, circled a few times, called "Koo-wah koo-wah" twice, and left.

All Baimu picked it up, "Huh? It's actually Bugium Z!"

He originally thought that the Z-Crystal produced in an environment like a geothermal power plant would be Electrium Z; at least in the game, the one related to the Totem Vikavolt was Electrium Z.

Whatever.

Having a Z-Crystal reward was enough.

He was very glad that the Totem Pokémon of Ula'ula Island were easy to talk to; if it were that fat rat on Melemele Island, it would be estimated to be very difficult to end well.

One step closer to the full collection of eighteen!

All Baimu looked at the other two snow-capped mountains, hoping they would also bring surprises.

——

Mount Lanakila.

A famous skiing resort in the Alola region.

Of course, there wasn't only skiing here, but also large stretches of impenetrable snow forests and overlapping snow peaks, with many Ice-type Pokémon inhabiting them.

Between the cable car and walking, All Baimu chose the latter.

Because he was followed by a whole family of Pokémon, and except for the three Legendary Titans who were inconvenient to appear, basically all of them were present and not back in their Poké Balls.

The mighty team was like a tour group.

Near the mountain col.

Beside the open space next to the dense coniferous forest, All Baimu stopped and decided to take a break.

"Phew~ so cold."

He spat out a white mist and turned to look at his Pokémon, who were seeing snow for the first time and were excited to run around and play—except for Dragapult.

It wasn't that it, as a Dragon-type Pokémon, was difficult to adapt to the cold climate of the snow mountain, but simply that it rejected such a flashy group activity.

Not to mention the sun was already bright.

There was another reason—the little Dreepy were seeing snow for the first time, but Dragapult wasn't.

It had seen this scene many years ago and was tired of it.

Various reasons made it return to its Poké Ball to rest after the sun rose. The trainer had joked before that "this little ball is its forever home," and Dragapult felt it was very right.

There were very few places that could make it feel so at ease.

It could almost stay there for a lifetime.

All Baimu didn't force it either; Pokémon had different habits.

What was more surprising was that Hydreigon and the Dreepy siblings weren't afraid of the cold, and they even participated in the snow-playing sports. It was understandable that the former had thick fur, but what about the little Dreepy?

Because they were dead, they weren't afraid of the cold?

There was definitely no such reason. He vaguely remembered that Kiawe's Alolan Marowak was very afraid of the cold, and it also had the Ghost-type.

Mawile was taking photos; it planned to take some snow scene pictures and post them on its blog.

The photographer was naturally the Poryphone, and Blissey was responsible for being the assistant, having carefully put away the precious knitted nurse hat on its head and replaced it with the sleeping Corsola.

"Don't dig into the ground! Just dig in the snow! It's four or five meters thick!"

All Baimu shouted at Steelix, who was posing for a pounce in the distance; this guy would mess around if he wasn't careful, being extremely casual.

What if it caused an avalanche!

Steelix froze, and turned its horizontal steel bones irritably.

When it was in Ferroseed Town, it had heard that the soil under these white particles was called permafrost, which was much harder than normal soil, and now that it saw it with its own eyes, it really wanted to dig and see.

Unfortunately, the trainer didn't allow it.

It was very annoying.

What to do if annoyed?

Steelix thought for a while and felt that since it couldn't go underground, it might as well go to the sky, so it flew up like a silver dragon and wandered around, acting as if there was no one else around.

Many wild Pokémon watching quietly were frightened by this scene and hurried away.

A few round Alolan Sandshrew hurried to dig into the snow, making Steelix extremely envious, and it couldn't help but lean over.

Then it discovered the pitch-black snow hole.

They dug the permafrost!

Steelix's red copper eyes widened, and it couldn't wait to turn back to find the trainer to report, its huge head lowered, carefully leaning over.

"Hng~"

"How big are they and how big are you? Just because they can dig doesn't mean you can."

All Baimu's simple sentence instantly made Steelix feel like it had been struck by lightning, its steel-cone-like tail drooping dejectedly.

Too hurtful to the snake's heart!

The aggrieved Steelix looked back every three steps, hoping the trainer would withdraw his order.

Unfortunately, someone had a heart of stone.

No way, this opening couldn't be made. Some Pokémon could be spoiled, but some Pokémon would cause big trouble if spoiled. Didn't he see what this guy did when he put Steelix in Ferroseed Town last year?

The underground of Ferroseed Town was almost dug through by it and its gang of Steelix and Onix. Where in the world was there such a diligent Steelix?

In the final analysis, Steelix and Onix digging holes should be a nesting behavior, and they would stop when they were done.

The giant Steelix wasn't; it liked to dig everywhere, nesting didn't matter, and it never lived in the holes under Ferroseed Town for a day, all living in Mount Silver.

Therefore, All Baimu would only let this guy dig a little in a suitable place when it couldn't hold it anymore.

For example, the Haina Desert next door.

And.

He didn't believe Steelix could really hold it.

All Baimu quietly paid attention to Steelix, who had flown out of his field of vision, and took over the photographer's job from the Poryphone, letting it follow.

"Chee doh?"

Mawile saw the trainer pick up the camera, thought for a while, and didn't pose for a photo, but rolled a snowball.

*Whoosh! *

The snowball flew, grazing All Baimu's cheek.

He, who had just raised the camera, froze for a moment, then chuckled and put it away.

You asked for this!

All Baimu had long wanted to beat it up in some special way; it wasn't that his love for Mawile had disappeared, he just wanted to be mischievous and see Mawile crying.

Same for Blissey.

He aimed his dangerous gaze at the happy Blissey next to him, who didn't know anything.

"Come on—let's have a snowball fight!"

All Baimu grabbed a handful of snow and squeezed it tightly, pretending to throw it at Mawile, but changed direction at the last second and threw it at Blissey's face.

*Pfft! *

Blissey, with ice and snow on its face, was stunned for a second, almost scaring the Corsola on its head off.

"Happy?"

"Hehehe, happy or not happy?"

The unscrupulous trainer chuckled. Blissey's face was as big as a silver basin, basically no possibility of missing, but it was soon hit on the head by Mawile's second snowball, so it immediately made ammunition to counterattack.

The Pokémon playing in the snow saw this and gathered around one after another.

How could they not participate in such an interesting game?

The snow forest was lively.

Just.

All Baimu, who was having fun, forgot a very important point, which was his popularity. The Pokémon's love for the trainer was reflected in all aspects, including snowball fights.

He was soon focused-fired.

——

Steelix was as restless as All Baimu judged.

When Porygon2 followed, it found it secretly looking for a place where there was no one and no Pokémon, and quietly drilling holes with its tail.

The white snow was blown everywhere by its drill-like tail.

*Rumble rumble rumble*—

A sound similar to an impact drill breaking the ground kept ringing, and many big trees covered with white snow trembled, causing the snow on the leaves to shake off.

Although it couldn't understand Steelix's persistence, Porygon2 didn't intend to snitch.

No need!

The reason why the trainer forbade Steelix from digging holes was nothing more than worrying that Steelix's behavior would lead to some bad consequences. It understood very well that it should be careful in the strange snow mountain environment.

Therefore, the behavior in front of it wasn't a dangerous action, so Porygon2 pretended not to see it.

Fortunately, Steelix was just trying to dig a hole in the permafrost deep in the snow, and didn't intend to put its head in.

Porygon2 saw it fly up, ready to return to the trainer's side, and quietly relaxed.

The prediction was correct!

It followed Steelix back to the resting place and found everyone having a happy snowball fight, the trainer—

Where was the trainer?

Porygon2 looked around blankly, then realized something, turned on the thermal imaging function of the Poryphone, and immediately found a human figure under a raised snow pile.

"... Pa-lee?"

The trainer was buried!

It hurried to fly over, but Steelix's speed was much faster than it.

Steelix, who didn't know what means it used to find All Baimu, inserted its tail into the snow pile, then rolled it fiercely, immediately pulling All Baimu out of the snow.

Like pulling a radish.

Hydreigon, who was fighting on both sides, was furious when it saw this and roared at Steelix: "Sha-sang!"

Trophy?

Porygon2 flew to All Baimu's side, who was sitting in the snow, blankly.

All Baimu wiped the snow off his face and said to Hydreigon: "What are you shouting for! Didn't Steelix just come back? Your temper is really bad!"

Because he was focused-fired, he was unfortunately buried by white snow.

Blissey just wanted to come over to save him, but Gengar, that dog thing, suddenly said something about whoever won the snowball fight would get the trainer.

This was good.

They started fighting among themselves and forgot All Baimu under the snow pile.

Fortunately, he wore enough clothes.

"Sha-sang~"

Hydreigon hissed.

The contemptuous feeling of air coming out of its nostrils made Steelix very angry, and it also roared at Hydreigon, the low buzzing making the dense forest tremble.

The two Pokémon glared at each other.

*Sigh! * Arguing again!

All Baimu held his forehead.

Arguing within the team didn't happen often, but it would always appear. How could there be no friction between creatures of different personalities and different species?

Especially Hydreigon, whose temper wasn't very good.

Steelix and Dragapult's temper wasn't actually very good either; before they joined the team, one was fiercer than the other. Gengar looked silly, but before, under Jarvis's hands, it didn't hesitate to attack people and Pokémon.

If All Baimu wasn't sitting in town, it wouldn't be strange for them to fight every day.

But sometimes conflicts still arose.

Ash's Pokémon even had days of butting heads.

Is reasoning useful?

Useful.

But it wasn't useful all the time. Pokémon ultimately had to fight once before they could sit down and talk properly. Wild Pokémon were like this, and All Baimu's Pokémon were also like this.

He didn't intend to smooth things over, and said bluntly: "You can't fight here. When I go down the mountain in the afternoon, I'll find a place for you to fight enough!"

"Sha-sang!"

"Hng!"

Both Pokémon showed expressions of who was afraid of whom.

Therefore.

After finding a suitable place to set up a tent for the night, All Baimu took advantage of the opportunity to go down the mountain to buy supplies and came to the mountain area on the outskirts of the Haina Desert.

Not far ahead was the vast desert, which was very quiet when there was no sandstorm, and one could see pairs of pitch-black eyes popping out of the ground from time to time.

They came from the Krokorok, known as the "Desert Sweeper."

All Baimu looked at the time.

Noon.

Fighting at this time shouldn't be disturbing people's dreams, right?

He was never afraid of Tapu Bulu, he just didn't want to do things that made him feel guilty. The area near the Haina Desert was vast and had no plants growing, so there was no need to worry about harming the innocent, making it very suitable as a battle venue.

All Baimu released Hydreigon and Steelix.

After a period of cooling down, the fighting spirit of both sides hadn't dissipated, but had become more vigorous.

They fought every day in the team.

But everyone thought they hadn't used their full strength, and had parts where they held back for the sake of their companions. This good opportunity made them want to exert themselves.

"Sha-sang!"

Hydreigon raised its three big heads at the trainer.

All Baimu said: "Are you sure?"

"Sha-sang!"

"Okay."

He didn't discourage them too much, took out the Key Stone, quickly resonated with Steelix, and made it change into a brand-new Mega Evolution form.

Hydreigon was full of fighting spirit.

If you fight, fight with the full body; it didn't want to win and then be stiffly said by Steelix that it hadn't really exerted its full strength!

And Steelix thought the same.

In an instant.

Two fierce Pokémon rushed toward each other! ===== CHAPTER 835 =====
