Chapter 988: The Obedient Cat Raikou

In the time that followed.

All Baimu didn't return to Battle Mountain, staying in the Sacred Forest the whole time to pet the big cat, only learning about the situation through his Rotom Phone.

Unsurprisingly.

Bertie had once again defeated Justice, and in front of the powerful Heracross warrior, the evil dinosaur was vulnerable.

Very much in line with the tone of Bug-type being super-effective against Dark-type—

Kamen Rider will surely win!

Lei Ou sighed: "What a pity."

He had originally agreed with Bertie to have a battle in the main tournament, who knew All Baimu would intervene.

All Baimu smiled: "Bertie can't beat me either, you guys can have a private match as the losers' bracket."

"..."

Lei Ou looked at him sideways, "Are you the type who gets more arrogant the more familiar you get?"

Clearly he was so polite yesterday.

All Baimu laughed and stroked the fur on Raikou's cheeks; sure enough, no matter what kind of cat it was, it would get chubby cheeks!

Didn't continue to chat deeply about sad things.

Lei Ou called him out to eat.

Village Chief Logan's kind invitation was really hard to refuse. But All Baimu wanted to have lunch with Ho-Oh's guard...

After a brief struggle.

He called out his Shiny Gengar to offer "stock" dry food to Ho-Oh's guard.

"Ooo~"

Raikou let out a low roar, its voice carrying a hint of anticipation.

Entei and Suicune turned back to look at it.

If they hadn't come together, they would have suspected whether Raikou had been replaced by a Ditto.

Close to people, greedy, plus a lazy demeanor.

No different from the cat-type Pokémon common in cities.

But you are Raikou!

Raikou couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them; the long-lost dry food made it realize once again its bond with All Baimu, which had nothing to do with his strangeness.

That's right.

Palatable food was also a big reason why it liked All Baimu!

Raikou buried its head and started eating with peace of mind.

Entei and Suicune looked at each other.

"Roar~"

"Ooo."

Eat then.

Even Raikou ate it, what were they pretending for?

Besides, All Baimu wasn't an outsider, they had the same mother.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

The crisp chewing sound was endless.

Lei Ou found this scene very novel, even he hadn't fed Ho-Oh's guard—

Berries that replenished physical strength and eliminated abnormal status after battle didn't count.

Curiosity drove him to squat down and take one from the bowl in front of Entei.

Undoubtedly.

Entei didn't guard its food.

Seeing Lei Ou stuff the dry food into his mouth, it even took the initiative to give it up.

"Roar?"

"You continue, I'll just taste the flavor."

Lei Ou chewed twice, turned to look at All Baimu, and asked: "If I apprentice under you, can I learn to make this dry food?"

As the saying goes, there are no incompetent people under a great reputation.

He thought if he could eat this food every day, he would definitely be able to defeat Legendary Pokémon.

Hmm.

Also had to let Solgaleo and Lunala enjoy it.

And All Baimu naturally couldn't let Lei Ou apprentice, only saying he would teach him if he had time.

Afternoon?

Afternoon definitely didn't have time.

He was a man who wanted to pet cats all day!

After lunch.

All Baimu trotted back to the Sacred Forest; Ho-Oh's guard hadn't left, each lying in the shade of a tree for a nap, the bowls filled with dry food were all empty.

"Come and meet some old friends!"

He released his own group of Pokémon.

Raikou accurately locked onto Blissey's figure, this pink devil—

"Happy~"

It was hugged tightly for the second time.

Raikou looked at the excited and moved Blissey, its eyes gradually softening.

How come you two partners are the same?

"Awoo~"

Raikou rubbed its face against Blissey's.

Entei and Suicune in the shade of the tree lifted their eyelids.

They gradually began to get used to Raikou's abnormal performance, wasn't it just breaking its beast persona?

Made it seem like no one had broken theirs.

The two's understanding laid a good foundation for their future beatings.

However.

Soon they didn't understand again.

Because Blissey began to check Raikou's body, originating from the moment of serious injury, different from the moment of recovery.

How could a medical expert not pay close attention?

It was committed to finding every possible scar.

Raikou, who had just been moved, let out a long sigh, All Baimu sat down beside it, laughing loudly.

Hydreigon glanced at Ho-Oh's guard.

Today it won, it was the winner, so it wouldn't be jealous for now.

Aggron and Mawile greeted Raikou, the latter nodded in response, its gaze falling on the Shiny Milotic.

"Milotic?"

Milotic squirmed cautiously.

It couldn't be sure if Raikou remembered it, after all, it was small and ugly back then.

The answer was—

Remembered.

Raikou was very sensitive to scent, Milotic was indeed amazing enough to make it marvel now, but it hadn't forgotten the figure that had worked hard back then.

Just as it was about to say hello, the tugging sensation from behind left it speechless.

"... Awoo."

Raikou turned its head to look at Blissey, who was trying to lift its hind leg.

No need to check this part, right?

Blissey was serious; how could a physical examination skip a part?

Everyone checked like this!

Raikou turned its head back resignedly; it was considering whether to give Blissey a shock.

Too bold!

In the end, it didn't do that.

Even after the joy of reunion faded, what followed was all annoying.

All Baimu laughed on the other side, holding his phone to check the afternoon's match.

Gengar whispered to the three Dreepy; as latecomers, they naturally didn't know Raikou's story.

But it didn't prevent them from guessing that Mt. Silver would have another resident.

Dragapult's back was bandaged with white tape; Umbreon's attacks generally landed here, so the injured parts were quite concentrated.

The two little Dreepy giggled.

They were the type easily infected by the arena atmosphere, with extreme emotional fluctuations, and would only return to their lively nature after the match ended.

Just now while eating, they even took the initiative to greet Lei Ou's Umbreon.

Making the other party confused.

The giant Aggron and Galarian Corsola had nothing to do; the former enjoyed the whole preliminary round, the latter had worked hard not long ago.

Both were in a period of fatigue.

A leisurely afternoon.

The Sacred Forest was peaceful.

It would be even better if Blissey wasn't so busy.

Raikou sighed.

And what made Suicune and Entei glad was that Blissey didn't walk toward them after checking Raikou.

Originally they had started thinking about how to refuse.

Physical examinations or something, too shameful.

All Baimu petted the cat with one hand, his eyes fixed on the match between Wally and another Battle Mountain trainer, Grew.

His first encounter with Wally was in the first half of last year; at that time, the young man was extremely confused about the road ahead, almost giving up the path of a trainer.

But now...

Definitely Elite Four level.

All Baimu raised his eyebrows, a bit like when he saw Wally in the special edition almost taking down Rayquaza with Magnezone.

Ruby said so anyway.

In short, this child's growth curve could almost compare to his!

Tournament Runner-up → Tournament Champion → Elite Four.

Took two years.

"How should I trick him into staying?" All Baimu pointed at Wally to show the big cat.

Raikou didn't comment.

The first match of the afternoon soon came to an end.

Wally defeated Grew 6-3, without even exposing his Mega Gallade.

All Baimu couldn't help but start imagining the battle with him in the semifinals.

Should be able to make Aggron feel passionate, right?

Second match.

Liu Ge successfully took down his opponent at the cost of four Pokémon.

Karula, the only seedling in the Orre arena, failed to make waves, and the warden's resentment swallowed the dream of revitalizing the arena.

The final four were decided.

Three were locals of Orre, among whom All Baimu and Liu Ge both came from Pyrite Town.

As expected, Entei's appearance had the highest discussion rate.

Following the Legendary Giant, Mythical Pokémon, and Latias/Latios, another Legendary Pokémon with great fame.

Existences that were rarely seen by ordinary people in the past were emerging one after another in Orre like Chinese cabbage.

How absurd!

Looking at the many envious and jealous comments on PokéTok, All Baimu, who was petting the cat with one hand, laughed very happily.

"Awoo!"

A sudden low roar interrupted his movements.

All Baimu subconsciously withdrew his hand, thinking Raikou was impatient with his petting, but when he turned his head, he found Blissey was prying open its saber teeth and checking its mouth with a small flashlight.

The scene was too beautiful to look at.

"You... have some sense of boundaries, okay?"

"Happy?"

Blissey was calm and composed, not even turning its head.

After all, it also checked the teeth of other Pokémon at home; Aggron once went to play in an abandoned mine and was accidentally entangled by rusty wire, and it was Blissey who pulled it out.

Good teeth meant a good appetite!

Nurse Blissey silently guarded the health of the whole family.

But for Raikou... well, mainly because the two colleagues were present.

Entei and Suicune turned their heads left and right, really couldn't hold it anymore, and secretly laughed.

Seeing Blissey still wanting to reach in, not to mention Raikou, even All Baimu felt his scalp tingle and pulled it back.

"Nothing to do, help me find gray hair?"

Raikou is not your toy!

At least it hadn't joined the team yet.

Hearing this, Blissey's eyes immediately lit up.

The pink big egg was undoubtedly too idle, plus Raikou was inexplicably submissive to it, which was why such a wonderful scene appeared frequently.

All Baimu decided to add some burden to it the day after tomorrow.

So far.

Just it and Mawile hadn't played yet, the two of the gorgeous style needed a grand performance.

Hmm?

Could it be caused by nervousness?

All Baimu pinched Blissey's big face with both hands, confirming this idea in its panicked expression.

"Almost forgot you are also a sensitive skin."

He touched Blissey's curly hair.

The big egg's worry-free nature was built on the principle of concession; precisely because it didn't fight for the opportunity to play, it insisted on ensuring everyone's logistics, so as not to reduce its own sense of existence.

Among the team, the one with the most serious psychological problems was actually Blissey.

It's just that it's much better now.

"Sing, singing can make the heart calm."

All Baimu waved to Milotic, and Mawile also put down its phone, deciding to dance to relax itself.

And so.

In the quiet Sacred Forest.

Heavenly singing echoed quietly, and some hidden wild Pokémon gathered silently.

Remember Lei Ou said that he had placed all the Pokémon he rescued from the Shadow Team here, and recently many Pokémon from the park had migrated over.

N had made multiple preparations for his departure.

Including the migration and placement of wild Pokémon.

Buzz buzz!

Shanren: 'Remember to come to the draw tonight.'

All Baimu: '... Can I not come?'

Shanren: 'Reason?'

All Baimu: Petting cat. jpg

Shanren: '...'

Although it was a series of ellipses, All Baimu seemed to hear his friend's scolding.

After all, it had only been half a day since the battle, and he had already hooked up with Ho-Oh's guard, completely unlike what a normal trainer could do.

Crucially, how could Ho-Oh's guard be so close to him?

Is he a Pokémon-loving physique?

Five or six minutes passed.

Shanren: 'I'll let Flop and Ditto help you draw.'

All Baimu: 'Thanks!'

Flop could perform near-perfect disguise through Ditto, which had been tested in actual combat.

"Let's sleep together tonight!"

All Baimu said excitedly to Raikou.

Raikou looked at him blankly; it had never slept on this person's bed, how could he have the nerve to say such things?

But touching that expectant gaze.

"... Awoo."

"Yay!"

Entei and Suicune not far away had no reaction; they were already tired of talking about Raikou breaking its beast persona.

Perhaps one day, they would also encounter an existence that could make them break their beast persona?

Suicune thought about the scene where it was pried open by Blissey and had its hind legs lifted, feeling a bit horrified.

It was the incarnation of the North Wind!

Entei's expression was peaceful; it had also had a dream of being a father to someone before, and it felt very wonderful.

If there was a human daughter, it might be very happy.

Of course.

Just thinking about it casually.

Time came to sunset.

All Baimu refused Mirei's invitation to stay at her house, saying he wanted to sleep in the open in the Sacred Forest tonight.

Mirei was full of question marks, but didn't think much, just brought him food and bedding.

All Baimu: 'Gathering with old friends tonight, not returning, King sleeps well.'

King of Bountiful Harvests (Cute Deer): 'Granted.'

Relying on the stock in Gengar's stomach, he habitually showed off his skills, and the fresh glowing cuisine satisfied the taste buds of Ho-Oh's guard.

Lei Ou and Mirei were attracted by the fragrance and joined in.

The wild Pokémon in the Sacred Forest also got a share; the generous All Baimu wouldn't forget every Pokémon he had seen.

Draw time.

"Among these three people, who do you hope to battle more?"

Lei Ou stared at the screen and said.

All Baimu said: "All the same."

Lei Ou heard the metaphor in his words and couldn't help but look at him, "... You've reached the end now?"

"Reached the end? I'm still far from it."

All Baimu shook his head: "My goal is world number one, the Orre Champion is just the first step."

"World number one!"

Mirei, who was eating dessert with Mawile, looked up in astonishment, "This is hard to determine, there are so many regional champions."

He said: "Don't worry, there will be a chance soon."

The second World Championship is coming soon!

While speaking.

"All Baimu" on the screen raised his right hand high, showing the number ball.

Have to say Flop is really strong; except for the slightly worse temperament, everything else was imitated seven or eight out of ten.

"Good luck."

All Baimu saw Bertie holding a ball of the same color and said to Lei Ou: "Soon you two will be brothers in misfortune."

Lei Ou was silent.

Mirei was unconvinced, "Lei Ou was a double battler before! He only changed to single recently!"

"When he changed to single, I didn't even have a Pokémon."

All Baimu said bluntly.

He always said what he had to say when talking to friends; he would only restrain himself when facing strangers or people he respected more.

Mirei was angry.

But what she said was true.

The mainstream battle in the Orre region was double battle at the beginning; after Eagun, the leader of the Shadow Team, took power, in order to connect with the international community, it was changed to single battle. ===== CHAPTER 989 =====
