Chapter 884: Love at First Sight

Good news, the dragon that ran away from home brought back a horse.

Bad news, the horse came for him.

"Hee——"

The neighing was shrill.

All Baimu didn't even have time to say anything to Dragapult before he saw Spectrier jump, its agile figure gliding over the heads of Glastrier and Calyrex.

Under the breeze, the soft light purple mane swayed leisurely, elegant and spirited.

Blink again.

Spectrier had already arrived in front of him, the two sides standing only a meter apart.

"Goo-roar."

Aggron vigilantly protected the trainer, and Hydreigon also struggled to get up, looking unkindly at this existence with unknown purpose.

Dragapult arrived a little late, mainly because it couldn't fly over the heads of Glastrier and Calyrex as openly as Spectrier.

It looked at the trainer excitedly, preparing to take credit, but suddenly noticed a tense atmosphere.

"Lu, lu spit?"

Dragapult was so scared that it lowered its volume and disappeared on the spot.

"My beloved—"

Calyrex, seeing the second beloved steed after a long time, couldn't help but show a happy expression, but before it could call Spectrier, the cold gaze from Glastrier made it bitterly swallow the rest of its words.

My beloved steed!

That pitch-black shining fur!

That wild and galloping figure!

It was exactly the same as when they first met!

Unfortunately...

Calyrex finally felt what it was like to be overwhelmed. If it restored its strength, it might still be able to conquer Glastrier with powerful strength like in the past.

Now it was forced into a "corner."

My beloved subject! Help me, my beloved subject!

Use your invincible Poké Ball to capture Glastrier!

Once upon a time, Calyrex avoided Poké Balls, but at this moment it especially hoped that the shallow believer could lend a helping hand with a Poké Ball to help it survive the disaster.

And on the other side.

All Baimu pressed down the furious Hydreigon and gave Aggron a look.

"... Goo-roar."

The big monster made way.

It wasn't hard to see that the reason for the stiff atmosphere came from his own Pokémon; mainly Glastrier's previous behavior was too low-scoring in their eyes, making them subconsciously think that Spectrier was no different from Glastrier.

But undoubtedly.

The two horses were different.

At least Spectrier didn't launch an attack first after meeting, not to mention that this guy was brought to him by Dragapult himself.

The autistic dragon could be trusted.

"Hiss~"

Spectrier walked silently, because its hooves were illusory, just like the shadow that made up Gengar.

It paced forward, its small ears facing forward, beautiful light purple eyelashes covering its eyes, swinging the curly long mane falling at the position of its nose, and stuck out its purple long tongue.

Under the shocked eyes of all the Pokémon.

Spectrier affectionately licked All Baimu's face and neck, its movements exceptionally gentle, simply like a deep lover.

"Hee~~"

It let out a soft moan from its neck.

"Chiduo!"

"Sha-sang!"

Mawile and Hydreigon were instantly furious, but fortunately, Blissey and the Shiny Milotic reacted keenly, noticing that Spectrier had no malice, and persuaded the two Pokémon.

All Baimu's expression was stiff, feeling a cold aura flowing on his face and neck, which

Who would have thought it would grab at nothing.

Spectrier appeared behind him like a ghost, continuing to lick the back of his neck in detail, as if savoring some kind of dessert.

"Do you want to eat me?"

All Baimu bared his teeth in horror, thinking Spectrier was trying to drain his life energy.

Poryphone answered his doubt.

Its tone was slightly complicated: "No, Spectrier really likes your life energy; it seems to have fallen in love with you at first sight... All Baimu, you should restrain yourself!"

Poryphone couldn't help but complain.

Electric pillar, dragon pillar; Calyrex, Glastrier;

Now there's another Spectrier.

In less than a short month, he has welcomed so many partners; when will this ever end! There's simply not enough to go around!

"Don't say those useless things! Love at first sight? Are you serious?"

All Baimu couldn't believe Poryphone's answer, but his un-depleted stamina proved that Spectrier was purely licking him and had no intention of draining his life energy.

Was it really love at first sight?

He looked at his confused Pokémon, feeling even more confused than they were.

Poryphone refused to answer such a question that insulted its intelligence; when it came to translation, it was a professional!

"My beloved subject..."

Calyrex was so jealous that its stomach churned with sour acid.

After Glastrier announced it was going to snatch away the shallow believer, Spectrier also ran out and fell in love with him at first sight; is this really a human?

Isn't it some kind of humanoid magical beast with strong charm abilities?

A sense of urgency made Calyrex unable to answer Glastrier's question, so it hurriedly flew to Spectrier's side, trying to get close to another beloved horse.

If it kept watching, it would lose its own horses!

"Neigh!"

Glastrier, left on the side, snorted indignantly, a large cloud of white mist surged out, its tail flicked violently in annoyance, and it lifted its hooves to crowd forward, as if competing for favor, wanting to gnaw on All Baimu's hair.

All Baimu, not wanting to go bald at a young age, hurriedly let Aggron stop this crazy wild horse and said to Calyrex: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You handle Glastrier first! It's going crazy!"

"Handle... I can't handle it! If I handle it any more, my beloved horse will become your beloved horse!"

Calyrex didn't know how to face the aggressive Glastrier either, so it simply played the rogue.

Where is your kingly demeanor!

You incompetent ruler!

All Baimu was driven mad by this little deer that couldn't even train its horses, wanting to punch its flower-bud head, but fearing he would make it cry, he had to take out a ball to recall Glastrier, quickly shrinking it and locking it.

"You fought two battles in a row and are badly hurt, rest first. Leave Calyrex and Spectrier to me."

The Poké Ball shook violently.

But Glastrier ultimately didn't break out of the ball by force like Psyduck and Wobbuffet.

In front of All Baimu, who had sent his partners to defeat it twice, Glastrier was unexpectedly quite obedient.

Subsequently.

All Baimu turned his head and said to Spectrier: "Are you done licking? If you're done, back off a bit. You horse have no sense of boundaries; we should have a serious talk."

"Hiss~"

Spectrier seemed to smell his dissatisfaction and actually stepped back.

As expected.

Calyrex's call to Spectrier was once again met with a closed door, and the latter was even more heartless than Glastrier, walking away directly to refuse its approach.

It probably had the same misunderstanding as Glastrier.

The King of Bountiful Harvests was heartbroken, especially after comparing its own treatment with All Baimu's; the intense discomfort almost exceeded the grievance of being betrayed back then.

It looked up at the blue sky and white clouds and wailed sorrowfully.

"Oh vast heaven, why are you so unfair to me!"

"Uh..."

All Baimu was also speechless; how could he have expected the two horses' attitudes toward Calyrex to be so terrible? He looked at the Spectrier in front of him and asked: "You like me? Why?"

Although he had expressed to Alolan Meowth earlier that he really wanted a Pokémon that could choose him voluntarily.

But suddenly encountering it for real.

He felt it was a bit unreal.

"Neigh~"

Spectrier's voice was extremely light, its small, exquisite ears kept trembling, and its tail swayed slightly, showing that it was in a good mood.

It was actually a bit like Daredevil in Marvel, having lost its sight but infinitely enhanced its other senses.

And as a Ghost-type Pokémon.

Spectrier could also "see" the life energy of different existences, usually feeding on the life energy that these existences naturally emitted into the air.

All Baimu's life energy was the most beautiful kind it had ever seen, a silver light as bright as a snow-capped mountain and a pale cyan like a sun halo.

It was very attractive to it.

Because Spectrier liked loneliness and silence, and the soul of the human in front of it happened to reveal a hint of silence.

A unique kind.

It didn't explain, but its hooves slowly sank into the ground, floated under All Baimu, and then rose rapidly, forcibly carrying him on its back.

Sensing the posture wasn't quite right, Spectrier suddenly raised its front hooves high.

"Neigh~"

"Whoa!"

All Baimu subconsciously hugged its neck, "You are—"

It succeeded!

Spectrier kicked its hooves and ran into the distance at an extremely fast speed, clearly intending to forcibly kidnap this human it liked!

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.

"My beloved subject!"

Calyrex was the first to react, but the first to chase after it were Aggron and Mawile.

Unfortunately, the former was slower, and although the latter's instantaneous burst speed was fast, the distance was too short, so it couldn't catch up to Spectrier at all, and was soon overtaken by Porygon2, which had turned into a streamlined object, and Dragapult in the shadows.

Hydreigon's wounds hadn't healed, so it really couldn't burst with power and followed laboriously behind.

The other Pokémon ran wildly one after another.

On the other side.

After a brief moment of distraction, All Baimu wasn't idle either.

He certainly couldn't be like those male leads in Japanese anime who dropped the ball at critical moments, letting Spectrier pack him up and take him away.

Even if this was very tempting.

He could feel Spectrier releasing a thin black mist; the black mist forcibly sucked him onto its back, not allowing him to get off.

But if he insisted on struggling, he could break free.

"You horse!"

All Baimu flipped off the horse's back without hesitation, and at the moment of touching the ground, he was locked by Blissey's psychic power.

He didn't fall to the ground.

"Hiss!?"

Spectrier was very surprised that he could break free, pausing in place as if time had stopped, completely unaffected by the momentum of the sprint.

At the same time.

The Pokémon that had chased after him in a hurry angrily surrounded Spectrier.

Even the steady Aggron and the good-tempered Milotic had their hostility fully revealed at this moment, and Galarian Corsola, which had woken up at some point or simply hadn't slept, floated to All Baimu's shoulder.

Porygon2 also protected him.

"Grawr!"

"Milo!"

"Pali!"

Roars rose one after another.

Everyone was extremely angry.

After all, this Pokémon was simply too shameless, daring to snatch a Trainer in public! None of them had ever done that!

Must beat it up!

The invisible Dragapult felt the anger of its partners and shivered.

It was hesitating whether it should show itself.

Based on Glastrier's appearance, combined with the content of All Baimu's exchanges with Porygon2 and Calyrex, it learned that the Trainer was looking for a Pokémon named Spectrier, which looked similar to Glastrier.

Without a doubt.

As a local dragon, it knew of the existence of such a Pokémon.

The other party could be considered the ruler of this land, and all Ghost-type Pokémon had to look at its face.

Furthermore, Dragapult knew that the other party usually lived in the Spirit Realm rather than the real world, and only left the Spirit Realm at night to wander around the real world.

Occasionally it would reveal its form.

But most of the time it galloped across this land in a form that ordinary people couldn't see through.

Dragapult didn't know what this existence was before, but now it understood that the other party was called Spectrier, and was once the mount of the so-called King of Bountiful Harvests.

Out of avoidance of Drakloak and Dreepy.

And the idea of making a contribution.

It quietly left the team, headed to the entrance of the ancient tomb leading to the Spirit Realm, and after diligent searching, successfully discovered Spectrier, who was resting.

In turn.

It relied on the existence of Calyrex and Glastrier to persuade this Pokémon, which originally didn't want to pay attention to it, and brought it back to reality during the day.

Dragapult originally intended to use this to claim credit from the Trainer.

But now it seemed that compared to claiming credit, it was good enough that it wasn't settled accounts with by its companions later!

As for coming out to resolve the situation...

Dragapult didn't have such good intentions; it couldn't have imagined that Spectrier would directly kidnap the Trainer, even though it clearly came for Calyrex and Glastrier.

How did it suddenly aim at All Baimu?

The socially anxious dragon couldn't figure it out.

"Ahem."

All Baimu stood up steadily, looked at Spectrier, who was cold and lonely in temperament, and beautiful like a painting under the shade of the trees, and said: "I didn't expect you to really crave my body, well then, it just so happens I crave your body too. Stop kidnapping me, let me kidnap you instead."

He waved at Mawile.

"Maw!"

Mawile, with an unkind expression, stepped forward, and the other Pokémon retreated with regret.

Calyrex's eyes were gloomy.

In this "stage play" that should have had it as the protagonist, with the attitude changes of the other two protagonists, it had completely become an object of observation.

Truly humiliating!

Yet it had no ability to intervene, and it even had to hope that the shallow believer would succeed.

Otherwise, given the attitudes of Glastrier and Spectrier toward it, the difficulty of summoning these two again would be too high.

"Neigh~"

Spectrier smelled the dangerous scent from Mawile and also heard All Baimu's words.

It agreed.

Although its personality was different from the fierce and irritable Glastrier, they were both accustomed to submitting to the strong; if All Baimu possessed the strength to defeat it...

This undoubtedly counted as a plus in Spectrier's view.

In an instant.

The Key Stone and Mega Stone resonated.

The anger in Mawile's heart was clearly transmitted to All Baimu through the spiritual link, and also let the latter understand why the young lady's emotions had suddenly become so intense, like Hydreigon, losing her usual restraint and dignity.

—It was Spectrier's actions.

From resisting being hugged in the past, to getting used to it now.

From hating large-scale contact, to being able to lie in the Trainer's arms without changing her expression.

Although she was already heart-to-heart with the Trainer, Mawile still hoped to slowly become more intimate with the Trainer bit by bit than in the past.

Until one day, like Milotic, she could rub against the Trainer's face to act like a spoiled child without any scruples, stick around his neck, and be surrounded by the Trainer's scent.

This was a pleasure unique to Mawile.

But.

This hateful guy Spectrier destroyed everything she treasured.

Making her persistence look ridiculous!

Milotic was a fish she watched grow up, obedient and silly, so Mawile could ignore or even envy her.

Spectrier—

By what right!

Is being a Legendary Pokémon so great?

"Maw!"

Mega Mawile was extremely angry, and with her rage rising, her whole body was covered in uncontrollable pink light, and a wild wind swept around her!
