Chapter 987: Meeting Raikou Again

Know Raikou?

If the person in front of him wasn't All Baimu.

Lei Ou would really suspect he was deceiving him, wanting to use this to approach Ho-Oh's guard and capture them.

"This topic... let's talk about it in detail after we go out, the maintenance crew has come in."

He lifted his head.

All Baimu turned to look, suddenly seeing Hiker (Flannery's grandfather/NPC) rushing in with a group of people and various engineering machinery.

Sensing the gazes cast from afar by the two, Hiker immediately returned a resentful look.

The infrastructure myth that the Magma Team had spent over a year building had actually been shattered by All Baimu and Lei Ou at the start of the Championship.

It was clearly still sturdy even when the sub-arena was trampled by two Legendary Pokémon.

It was simply not human!

Hiker could only be glad that external forces had entered to appease the restless audience, otherwise the Magma Team would have had to take an even bigger blame.

At the same time.

Lei Ou seemed to have thought of something and asked: "By the way, who was the one speaking earlier?"

"Calyrex. It doesn't like appearing in front of people."

All Baimu smiled.

Calyrex equally rejected all humans except him.

It didn't discriminate, hate, or loathe them; it just stayed away from them as much as possible. Even Blacephalon and Meia, who also lived on Crown Tundra, still found it hard to see it normally.

Lei Ou was thoughtful.

It wasn't that he had any covetous thoughts about Calyrex; he was simply curious.

—No trainer wasn't curious about this Pokémon.

The fact that the first Orre League could be so glorious was, to some extent, inseparable from the miracles Calyrex had shown.

It was it that had made the desolate Orre vibrant within a few days.

Foreign tourists arriving here from thousands of miles away were largely attracted by it.

The two agreed to talk outside and left the arena along their respective passages.

At the dome.

Calyrex glanced at the two strange Pokémon in the distance and descended rapidly while riding Glastrier.

It wasn't responsible for being a babysitter for others.

So far.

Under Shanren's arrangement, the number of people who knew it was related to All Baimu could be counted on one hand.

Everyone found they couldn't find Calyrex, so they had to turn their attention elsewhere—

Chasing the rain clouds in the sky.

There were quite a few short videos on PokéTok of Lugia and its child frolicking in the clouds, and without exception, they all originated from the Orre region.

Being able to catch up with Lugia and its child meant at least the trip wasn't in vain.

Speaking of which, early yesterday morning, Calyrex had shot down an invisible airship with a Glacial Lance.

According to subsequent understanding, it seemed to be Pokémon hunters who had been chasing Lugia and its child for a long time, trying their best to sneak into Orre airspace to attempt capture again.

Who would have thought that before they could even make a move, or even confirm their specific location, they were suddenly shot down by a Glacial Lance from several kilometers away.

Not to mention the hunters being stunned.

Even the lurking International Police were stunned.

Calyrex's kill... could it count as their performance?

Unlikely.

In short, by the time All Baimu got the news, it was already sunset that day.

After all, for Calyrex, dealing with a few ill-intentioned guys was as insignificant as swatting away a few flies.

Besides, His Majesty the King of Bountiful Harvests had shown mercy; in its compassion, it had never personally caused any life to pass away.

—

Outside the arena.

Lei Ou and Mirei hugged tightly.

"Sorry, I—"

"I do, no matter when you want to say those words, my answer is 'I do'."

The girl said genuinely, regardless of the onlookers.

The elders and Pokémon of Agate Village had auntie-like smiles, full of blessings, only missing asking when they would get married.

Pink bubbles seemed to be floating in the air.

Many tourists interested in Entei saw this scene and didn't have the heart to step forward and disturb them.

Until a noisy sound came from not far away.

It was All Baimu and his army of followers.

Even though he had informed Lisia and the others that he had things to do and let them stay in the arena to watch the match, many fans who worshipped him were still waiting at the athlete exit.

Because they could take short videos and post them on PokéTok.

Just like a passerby's perspective of a celebrity, even if it was just a glimpse, they could still get a lot of likes.

Chasing stars and making money, why not?

Hearing the sound, Lei Ou released Mirei and said: "He said he knows Raikou and wants me to help introduce him."

"Introduce? Since he knows it, shouldn't Raikou take the initiative to find him?"

Mirei's expression was confused.

Lei Ou shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe there's some hidden reason."

He was too lazy to guess the reason; anyway, he would know when he saw it.

The overly dense crowd attracted staff to guide them, and after the gossipers slowly dispersed, the two met successfully, waved goodbye to the cheering audience, and took the elevator down the mountain together.

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center in the Battle Town at the foot of the mountain.

The Pokémon injured in the battle had successfully completed treatment and were transferred here.

"Good luck with your next match~"

Nurse Joy pushed over a tray full of Poké Balls, smiling brightly.

As everyone knew.

Joy was often active on the judging panel of Pokémon Contests, and although the one in front of him hadn't served as one, she had the same lofty ambitions.

Therefore, during the Mawile fan meeting some time ago, this Joy had briefly attended.

Fortunately, she had once been asked for an autograph by Officer Jenny.

At that time, All Baimu was very calm.

"I will."

He responded with a smile, subconsciously reaching out to touch the curly hair of the Blissey nurse, only to be seriously slapped on the hand.

"Happy!"

"Sorry, sorry."

Not bad.

But the hair quality was slightly worse than his own Blissey's.

As expected, he was the world's strongest Blissey breeder!

All Baimu rubbed his fingertips, feeling inexplicably happy, and even the "aftereffects" of his fierce temperament after resonating with Hydreigon were reduced a lot.

When going down the mountain.

The two had a brief discussion and felt that there were too many people in Battle Town.

It would be better to go to Agate Village.

Anyway, the two places were very close, located on the west and south sides of Battle Mountain, and they would be there soon along the mountain road.

All Baimu thought he could take the opportunity to see the sleeping Lugia, so he agreed.

The opening of the Orre League was such a big deal...

Well, it had nothing to do with it.

The return journey was driven by Lei Ou himself, piloting a high-tech hover bus, moving as steadily as an old dog through the forest.

His career as an International Police officer had taught him all kinds of skills.

Just like Conan going to the Hawaii Vocational Technical College for further studies.

A short while later.

Agate Village arrived.

All Baimu found that although Battle Town, Phenac City, and other places were crowded to the point of bursting, it was still quiet and peaceful here.

Curling white mist lingered, appearing somewhat mysterious.

"Remember to come home for dinner when you're done."

Logan, with white beard and hair, patted his arm.

This village chief of the Hermit Land was called a Legendary Trainer when he was young, but now, only a group of Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu stayed by his side.

It really made All Baimu feel a pity.

He went to the altar in the Sacred Forest with Lei Ou.

Bang!

"Roar."

Entei flew out of the blue light and landed steadily.

It had been released by Lei Ou.

At the same moment.

The bushes around the altar made a rustling sound, and two large black shadows slowly approached, which were a blue giant wolf and a yellow giant tiger.

"Ooo~"

"Awoo~"

The voices of Suicune and Raikou were one high and one low.

Why were they low?

Because that familiar boy was looking at it with a smile, opening his mouth: "Do you still remember me? Raikou?"

Raikou silently turned its head away under the strange gazes of Lei Ou and the two colleagues.

This was really not a suitable reunion time.

It thought.

If possible.

It would rather quietly follow All Baimu's trail in the dead of night and sneak into his residence.

Instead of being stared at by so many eyes.

All Baimu didn't mind Raikou's coldness; he had known that the big cat liked to put on airs more than a year ago.

Being filled with joy in his heart made his smile extremely radiant.

The joy and closeness radiating from the inside out made Entei and Suicune look at him, and then look at Raikou, who was turning its head.

The scene was somewhat silent.

As the second human present, Lei Ou didn't speak, watching with great interest.

And so.

I don't know how many minutes passed.

"... Awoo."

Raikou couldn't hold on in the end, twisting and turning, extremely reluctant, as if forced by someone to step forward, and squatted down after approaching All Baimu.

Its shoulder height plus its head exceeded two meters, and it looked very intimidating at first glance.

But the posture at the moment was surprisingly somewhat cute.

All Baimu quietly reached out his hand, stroking its soft and thick multi-layered fur, the feeling in his palm was so familiar.

"Long time no see, missed you."

After he finished speaking, he hugged it cleanly.

Raikou was the first Legendary Pokémon All Baimu had close contact with after coming to this world; before this, he had only had brief exchanges with Lugia and its child.

They lived together for nearly a month.

Hiking through the jungle, soaking in hot springs in Lavaridge Town, pushing it to climb Mt. Chimney, buying a Wishing Star from a swindler, and spending leisure time in Meteor Falls.

Aggron and the others all knew Raikou, and Blissey had taken meticulous care of it.

All Baimu had never thought of capturing it.

But when the day of parting came, the feeling of reluctance overflowed in his heart, making him unable to forget it for a long time.

One month.

Very short and very long.

Short enough that he clearly remembered every bit of their time together, long enough to make him mistakenly think that time would continue to spread and everyone would continue to live together.

All Baimu had also thought about whether to let Hoopa summon it over.

But in the end, he didn't do that.

Raikou had its mission, and the duty of Ho-Oh's guard was greater than everything; he couldn't selfishly summon it without authorization.

If the other party was at some critical moment, then the joy of reunion would become a sin.

If there was fate, they would eventually meet again.

He had always believed in this point.

And now, fate had caused them to meet again; how could All Baimu suppress the surging emotions in his heart?

He hugged Raikou's neck, his nose full of familiar scents.

Being able to see you again.

Truly good.

"..."

Raikou looked a bit helpless, and even let out a long sigh.

But besides the sigh, it silently rested its chin on All Baimu's shoulder.

The big cat couldn't speak.

But the big cat had always remembered you and missed you very much.

—

Entei, Suicune, and Lei Ou looked at each other, their eyes filled with both surprise and curiosity.

Among Ho-Oh's guard.

Entei was known for its majesty and steadiness; Suicune was known for its elegance and gentleness; Raikou was known for its ferocity and rebelliousness.

The one least close to humans was Raikou.

Who would have thought that one day it would not only be able to have close contact with humans, but even hug them enthusiastically!

Entei and Suicune gazed at All Baimu's back, very surprised.

"... Roar?"

"Ooo!"

Two roars interrupted the peaceful and quiet human and cat.

He reluctantly released the hug, his palm still sticking to the warm fur, turned his head and smiled:

"Couldn't help it, please forgive me, everyone."

Raikou lifted its head and didn't make a sound; it had already been hugged, what else could it do?

Lei Ou asked the question that Entei and Suicune both wanted to ask, "How do you know each other?"

To be able to be close to this point, there must have been a very tortuous story!

"We—"

Pop!

"Awoo!"

Static electricity made All Baimu wince in pain; he immediately withdrew his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Raikou facing him with the back of its head.

The meaning was very clear.

Not allowed to say.

All Baimu thought that Entei and Suicune were both your brothers in misfortune, and Lei Ou even saved you from being Shadow-fied.

Not worse than being ambushed by the Crystal System? Why not let him say it?

Unable to understand the brain circuit of the tsundere big cat.

He spread his hands to Lei Ou and smiled: "In short, it's similar to your experience of encountering them; we are all partners of justice."

"..."

Raikou turned its head to look at him speechlessly.

More than a year had passed, and his speech was still so unreliable.

Seeing that Raikou refused to reveal it, Lei Ou didn't get to the bottom of it; he didn't care much about other people's private matters anyway.

"You guys take your time reminiscing, I'll go first."

Confirming that both sides knew each other, then it had nothing to do with him next.

After Lei Ou left.

Entei and Suicune couldn't wait to step forward, both of them stimulated by curiosity.

They stepped forward, circling All Baimu and looking around, as if looking at protected animals in a zoo.

The half-squatting Raikou felt quite irritable and let out a low roar at the two colleagues.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

Entei and Suicune immediately retreated, pulling a small distance away from them.

Seeing this scene, All Baimu seemed to suddenly remember and said: "By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you, I am half a person resurrected by Ho-Oh."

Once these words came out.

Ho-Oh's guard looked at each other.

What is half a person resurrected by Ho-Oh?

All Baimu didn't sell it short and told his past life—Long He's experience.

Including finally turning into ashes together with the Rainbow Wing, and under the action of a mysterious force, becoming a baby.

Ho-Oh's guard was stunned.

Didn't understand, but was greatly shocked!

We have the same mother?

Not right!

You are a human!

The three Legendary Pokémon tacitly began to sniff All Baimu's scent, the more they smelled, the more confused they became.

Not brother, you are bragging!

As if they could feel the distrust in the eyes of Ho-Oh's guard.

All Baimu snapped his fingers.

"Pali!"

The Rotom Phone flew out and showed them the photos and videos recorded at that time.

Seeing Marshadow, who was so panicked that it was like sleeping naked, being dragged outdoors, the lion, tiger, and wolf believed nine points.

Human technology might be able to forge images.

But it was absolutely impossible to express Marshadow's sneaky, lecherous temperament so vividly!

They were often curious why the Tower Master Ho-Oh would choose such a Pokémon as the messenger to test the Rainbow Hero.

Can only say it's worthy of being Lord Ho-Oh, able to dig out the potential abilities of Pokémon!

With the premise of being resurrected by Ho-Oh.

Entei and Suicune's eyes softened a lot, but Raikou's expression was very awkward.

As if pure feelings had been polluted.

Did it subconsciously feel All Baimu's origin when it trusted him?

Raikou felt not.

What prompted it to trust him at the beginning was not only All Baimu, but also that bold Blissey!

Recalling those medical behaviors that could be called aggressive, Raikou felt quite nostalgic. ===== CHAPTER 988 =====
