Chapter 903

Sunny.

The roar of the engine echoed across the wilderness.

Many wild Pokémon looked at the sound, only to see a cool hoverbike speeding past, with a divine white horse riding side by side.

It was All Baimu's party setting off.

The three bond reins with improved production processes from yesterday afternoon were freshly released, and after Queen Leiguanwang's inspection, the effect was no worse than the reins obtained by traditional production methods.

The overall production time was shortened by nearly half.

On the surface, it didn't mean much; bond reins with an annual wear and tear could be solved by making more at once, even if they were destroyed in battle.

In reality, it satisfied Queen Leiguanwang, who had been looking forward to the new product since the reins were destroyed.

He was pleasantly surprised to get the reins faster than last time, so he had many words of praise, and the emotional value was full.

It made All Baimu feel quite embarrassed.

After resting for a night.

Bidding farewell to the teary-eyed Galarian Articuno, the two set off on their journey, preparing for the final finishing work in the Galar region.

It's just—

"Still haven't recovered?"

He looked at Glastrier, who was walking fast but looked listless.

Queen Leiguanwang said: "It was truly too unexpected; I was also very surprised that Blissey would be so..."

So sleazy?

All Baimu recalled the battle between Glastrier and Blissey.

According to common sense, a pink big egg with physical defense as fragile as paper shouldn't be a match for Glastrier, who uses physical attacks, but a single ability is only one of the factors that determine the outcome of the battle.

And the big egg's fighting style was completely different from the Pokémon it had encountered before, such as Mawile.

Facing the terrifying cold mist, Blissey had 【Safeguard】; facing the fierce attacks one after another, it had 【Minimize】; for moves that couldn't be dodged, it had 【Substitute】; and finally, it could use 【Soft-Boiled】 to restore the consumed physical strength.

From beginning to end, Blissey only approached Glastrier three times.

Twice it used 【Toxic】, and once it used 【Draining Kiss】.

Next was constant wandering, dodging, and defense, quietly waiting for Glastrier to be slowly finished off by the toxic and confused state.

Why toxic twice?

Because the overall battle time was too long, and Glastrier had self-healed once, which scared Blissey quite a bit.

It had poisoned so many different Pokémon so many times, this was the first time it had encountered one that could self-heal; fortunately, after the second toxic was applied, Glastrier collapsed not long after.

Shiny Gengar sharply commented that Glastrier was most likely "bored" to death.

It was refuted by a group of little friends.

This is called righteous poisoning!

In short, Glastrier was listless after waking up, and had been listless until now.

The blow of losing to Blissey was even greater than losing to the other few Pokémon; who let this gentle Pokémon always act like a harmless little cook, yet its methods were so insidious!

"Rest assured, All Baimu. My beloved horse isn't that fragile!"

Queen Leiguanwang seemed very confident.

Really?

All Baimu turned his head and looked at the galloping Glastrier.

According to this guy's various performances before, it's actually not hard to see that it's a Pokémon with extremely strong self-esteem; losing consecutively in a short period of time is estimated to make it depressed for a long while.

As for comfort... it might not be willing to accept it either.

Let Queen Leiguanwang handle it himself.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the Porygon-Phone stuck on the handle; the navigation map displayed on it indicated that he was getting closer and closer to the target location.

As a finishing touch before returning to the Orre region.

He didn't forget Mohn, who was also in the Crown Tundra.

This former president of the Aether Foundation disappeared on the surface due to an experiment on an Ultra Wormhole, but actually, he traveled to Ultra Deep Sea, the world where Nihilego is located.

Coincidentally, Mohn encountered a Shiny Nihilego, which looked quite similar to Lillie at first glance.

And this Shiny Nihilego was also unexpectedly kind.

It peered into Mohn's memory, and while deeply moved, it moved him back to the Ultra Wormhole, trying to send Mohn back.

Unexpectedly, their landing point was the Crown Tundra, an unknown number of kilometers away from the Alola region, and Mohn strangely lost his memory and mistook the Shiny Nihilego for his daughter Lillie, living near the Giant's Bed to this day.

All Baimu prepared to meet Mohn.

Although the Aether Foundation family could reunite next year in the plot, since he rarely came to the Crown Tundra, how could he not do some good deeds?

And there's Nihilego.

He didn't have the chance to go to Ultra Deep Sea last time, so this time it's just right to make up for the photos.

How rare are Shiny individuals!

—

Frigid Sea.

In front of a detached stone house beside the coniferous forest.

All Baimu stopped his motorcycle from afar and turned to the two Pokémon:

"It's not big inside, Queen Leiguanwang come in with me. Glastrier, I'll leave it to you to guard the motorcycle outside. There's one thing I want to remind you two: no matter what happens, prioritize defense and forbid attacking at will. Okay?"

Although both were in a captured state, he still used a consultative tone to speak for safety's sake.

Queen Leiguanwang blinked: "I understand."

"Hee-loo~"

Glastrier snorted; in its depressed state, it didn't have any opinions either.

All Baimu felt relieved and went up to knock on the door.

Knock knock knock!

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

No response.

But his keen five senses told him that someone was approaching the other side of the door; he didn't know if it was Mohn or Nihilego.

Creak—

The thick wooden door opened.

A middle-aged man with messy light yellow hair and a thick beard stood inside, casting a suspicious gaze.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I'm a trainer adventuring in the Crown Tundra, passing by here and wanting to ask you for a drink of water."

He had already found a good excuse.

Queen Leiguanwang, upon hearing this, glanced at him quietly.

Although he hadn't explored in advance why he came here to find this human, there must be some deep meaning, most likely another arrangement by that "God."

And Mohn swept his gaze over All Baimu, Queen Leiguanwang, and the Glastrier behind, put on a warm smile, and stepped aside.

"Come in quickly! Warm yourself up and have a cup of tea!"

"Thank you."

All Baimu nodded.

The house was exceptionally dark, the windows were pitch black and covered with dust, revealing only a little light.

This is because after Nihilego lived with Mohn for a long time, it discovered that it had established a beautiful bond with him, and it didn't want Mohn to see its face through the glass and recover his memory, so it deliberately made them all dirty, and even the mirrors were put away.

In the center of the living room.

Faint starlight lit up in the warm fire pit, and an iron pot hung from an iron chain hanging from the roof.

Mohn smiled and said: "Please make yourself at home."

Then he brewed a cup of steaming black tea for All Baimu.

Queen Leiguanwang was also curious about the taste of the tea, but unexpectedly, what was placed in front of him was a stack of small cookies.

King of Bountiful Harvests: "..."

"I hope it suits your taste."

Mohn's smile made him unable to get angry.

Queen Leiguanwang picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste.

Hmm.

Terrible.

He silently put it back.

Fortunately, Mohn didn't pay attention to his situation, but focused on communicating with All Baimu.

Ding ding ding~

A familiar piano melody came from a room.

Mohn said: "By the way, I haven't introduced my daughter to you yet. Lillie! We have a guest!"

He called out loudly.

The piano music stopped abruptly, and then the room door opened slowly, and a blurry light yellow figure "walked" out from inside, presenting a phantom little girl's appearance under the mottled light and shadow.

All Baimu was very surprised that Nihilego dared to show itself actively.

Does it think he can't tell?

Queen Leiguanwang was also quite surprised, and said through telepathy: "All Baimu! This should also be a Pokémon, right? Is his daughter a Pokémon?"

"I'll explain it to you later!"

He whispered, turned his head, and praised: "Your daughter? What a moving and beautiful girl!"

Mohn looked very happy, "Overpraised, overpraised!"

"Speaking of which, is your daughter named Lillie? What a coincidence! I once saw a Miss Lillie in the Alola region, who is seventy or eighty percent similar to your daughter; could it be that you are relatives?"

All Baimu asked sideways.

A trace of confusion flashed on Mohn's face, but he saw the young man beside him raise his phone, and the screen showed Lillie looking shy beside Gladion.

"Lillie..."

This middle-aged man stared straight ahead, looking exceptionally confused.

It was as if the system program had a problem.

Nihilego, seeing Mohn's state and then looking at Lillie on the screen, immediately became anxious, rushing toward All Baimu regardless.

"Goo-ee!"

"Hmm?"

Queen Leiguanwang's eyes lit up with blue light, but he still remembered the instructions before entering the door, controlling Nihilego, whose tentacles were glowing purple on both sides, in place.

Mohn came back to his senses and screamed: "Lillie!"

"Mohn, look over here!"

All Baimu was waiting for this opportunity, adjusted his phone to selfie mode, and shouted loudly.

Mohn turned his head in a hurry to take a look, but could no longer look away.

Because he saw the face he was familiar with yet strange, and the events of the past rushed into his heart, constantly filling his inner heart like fragments.

Nihilego had struggled at first, but after finding that Mohn had fallen into memories, it gave up in sorrow.

It quietly hid its figure.

It was just that Queen Leiguanwang still hadn't let it go, always maintaining a state of confinement, and left a part of his attention on Mohn, watching this middle-aged man go from confusion to contemplation, and then to sudden realization.

"I... I remember."

Mohn held his forehead, his emerald-green eyes returning to calm, "An experimental accident made me mistakenly enter an Ultra Wormhole..."

He narrated everything he had experienced, looked at All Baimu and said: "Did Lusamine arrange for you to find me?"

Thinking about it carefully now, the other party's goal was clear, clearly confirming his identity early on.

All Baimu shook his head and said: "Actually, no, I'm a friend of your son Gladion, just happened to come to the Crown Tundra to handle some things, suddenly saw you and wasn't sure, so I had to think of a way."

"Gladion!"

Mohn showed a trace of nostalgia and said gratefully: "Thank you, without you, I don't know how long it would take for me to remember who I am."

Afterward.

He began to look for another "lifesaver," the "good daughter" who had been with him day and night for so many years.

"Lillie!"

Mohn called out gently.

Queen Leiguanwang let go of the controlled Nihilego, and the latter also slowly appeared; although it had no eyes, it didn't dare to face him directly, as if it felt guilty.

In fact.

Mohn also roughly understood the reason why he hadn't been able to recover his memory for a long time through the environment he was in.

But he wasn't angry.

"Lillie, come with me."

He said softly: "If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't be able to live until now, let alone reunite with my family. Let's go back to Alola together, go home together, and continue living together. My wife and children will definitely welcome you very much!"

Even without the real Lillie blocking him, Mohn wouldn't let Nihilego leave on its own.

Every bit of their time together over the years was clearly imprinted in his mind.

His daughter is Lillie.

Nihilego is also Lillie.

The dirt on the windows gradually peeled off, and the soft sunlight shone into this stone house, also inexplicably making Nihilego turn back into that cute little girl.

She smiled and nodded.

Clap clap clap clap—

All Baimu applauded, and Queen Leiguanwang, seeing this, also cooperated and applauded.

"Touching! Truly touching!"

He commented.

It was precisely because he knew that the Shiny Lillie had no malice toward Mohn, and only developed a possessiveness during their time together, that he didn't let Queen Leiguanwang attack.

How could he hurt such a good Pokémon?

"Goo-ee..."

Nihilego hid behind Mohn in embarrassment; it wasn't actually afraid of strangers, but All Baimu and Queen Leiguanwang inexplicably made it fearful.

Mohn smiled and touched its head, and said: "Can I borrow that machine in your hand?"

"Of course."

All Baimu handed the Porygon-Phone to him, immediately turning into a salesman: "This is a Porygon-Phone containing the artificial intelligence Pokémon Porygon2, which has extremely strong auxiliary capabilities. If you find it useful, why not invest in it after returning to Alola."

Mohn was about to call his wife, and upon hearing this, he was first stunned, then laughed: "Okay, I will."

He entered Lusamine's private number, and after it connected, he suppressed his surging emotions and said happily: "Lusamine, it's me, Mohn. I'm back."

All Baimu stood far away, but could still hear Lusamine's sobbing voice from the speaker.

Immediately after.

Lillie's excited cry also came over.

"Father!"

"Lillie!"

Mohn's heart trembled at this call, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes involuntarily, "You've grown up, Lillie."

When he mistakenly entered the Ultra Wormhole, Lillie was still in swaddling clothes.

In the blink of an eye, she's already a big girl.

A beautiful reunion.

All Baimu poured himself a cup of tea, and seeing Queen Leiguanwang looking on eagerly, he poured him one too.

The two sat on the creaking wooden bench, savoring the warm black tea, and sighed at the beauty of the world.

—

Strong longing.

Made Mohn prepare to set off back to Alola that very day.

And adhering to the principle of seeing people off to the end, All Baimu exceptionally called Hoopa for help, simplifying the total journey that would have taken about one to two days.

Regarding this.

Mohn was naturally extremely grateful and moved to tears.

Likewise, after Lusamine hugged her husband with tears, she rushed toward All Baimu, but unfortunately, she only grabbed one hand in the end.

"Thank you so much! All Baimu! I really don't know how to repay you!"

"The president is too polite; Gladion is my good friend, I just did a favor, why talk about repaying or not?"

All Baimu didn't claim credit; he just advanced the reunion time by one year.

It was just a matter of convenience.

Lillie shyly pinched the corner of her skirt and said softly: "Big brother, thank you!"

"No need to thank me, Lillie, keep it up, Lillie!"

All Baimu gave the little girl a thumbs up.

After a while.

Gladion, who had been out for special training, arrived late; his eyes turned red when he saw Mohn, and he quickly held it back when he saw All Baimu, "Father!"

"Gladion! You've grown so big! You're a mature man!" Mohn exclaimed repeatedly.

From then on, the family was completely reunited.
