Chapter 1208 The New Ailan
How does Kashiwagi compare to established champions?
Actually, it's not lacking in anything, and in some aspects it's even better. If we had to say something, perhaps it's a lack of time to accumulate experience.
As is well known, in the Pokémon anime world, the higher the energy level, the slower the growth; it's quite common for a Pokémon to remain stagnant for several years after reaching level 80.
What follows is the unique characteristic of having no upper limit on [Effort Values].
Although progress is slow in the later stages, it is at least a path that allows for continuous accumulation and upward climbing.
Compared to established champion Pokémon, Aggron and its ilk lack only the accumulation of time.
Of course, this gap can now be easily overcome through the growth brought by level.
However, Bai Mu never expected that he would have the opportunity to make up for this "shortcoming".
"One a day... How many have you collected?"
He summoned a Shiny Gengar and counted the number of seeds everyone had collected.
Surprisingly, Gengar had already counted the parts it had collected, "Gengar~"
The proud, gray fat man puffed out his chest—a total of 54,323.
Previously, it was the most active one, flying around and eating everything in sight. In addition, it has a "big stomach" that can continuously absorb seeds, so it is reasonable that it has been able to collect such a large number.
Kashiwa smiled and stroked its head, "Amazing, amazing~"
After counting the seeds collected by other Pokémon and cleaning them up, it was discovered that the total number was only about half that of the chubby Pokémon.
The Pokémon were amazed, while Gengar grew even larger, its flat nose becoming long and pointed like Pinocchio's.
"Hehehe~"
The final result was over 81,800 pieces.
The other Pokémon are limited by the lack of suitable "tools," making it difficult to collect as many as Gengar by hand.
Animals like Lucky Egg and Porygon II, which possess Nen abilities, can at least create a large net to gather the seeds. But what can creatures like Hydreigon and Aggron do besides biting and scratching?
"Thanks for your hard work."
He praised each and every one of them, treating everyone equally regardless of the quantity.
However, a competitive spirit arose within the Pokémon community. Hydreigon, despite being a weakling, actually took the initiative to mock Aggron!
What? Only two hundred more?
Two hundred seeds aren't seeds, are they? One a day would last for over two hundred days!
The arrogant three-headed dragon provoked public outrage, and everyone spontaneously began ranking the number of dragons they had acquired.
The final conclusion is as follows:
Hydreigon is fourth from last, Bosscodora is third from last, and the Dorano siblings are second from last.
Why is this so?
Pokémon such as Blissey and Porygon2 possess Psychic, and they subconsciously transform their power into a large net to gather the seeds scattered in the air.
Shiny Milotic and Mega Mawile's micro-management of Tornado and Fairy Wind allows them to gather large quantities of seeds without damaging them.
Dorombalut then used a freezing technique.
Only Hydreigon and Aggron, being pure fighters, lack such meticulous abilities; it's a miracle they don't destroy all the seeds with their attacks.
They had no choice but to bite with their mouths and smear with their bodies.
Of course we have to count down!
A super-sized Steelix? It's huge! That alone is enough for it to collect a large portion of the seeds.
Moreover, its horizontal steel frame rotates, converting outward force into suction, allowing it to collect a large number of seeds without any special techniques.
The three-headed dragon did consider using some tricks, but the situation was critical at the time. It was carrying cypress wood on its back, so it dared not act recklessly.
That's right!
It's all the trainer's fault!
"Sigh—"
"Shut up!"
Bai Mutou, who was preparing the medication plan, scolded without even looking up.
Eighty thousand or more seems like a huge number, but there are many mouths to feed at home. How long can they last if each one eats them all?
—Let's see how long we can hold out.
He distributed the seeds for the week first, and stored the rest inside Gengar's belly.
This thing shouldn't break easily, right?
Suddenly, Kashiwagi considered the important issue of preservation. He took out his phone to ask the Queen of the Rings, but the little deer seemed to be in a bad mood and did not reply to his message, which he usually answered instantly.
...Do you say you don't care, but actually you care a lot?
He knew it was related to the group of villagers from Dongning Village who came to pay tribute.
"Go to sleep, you've had a long day."
Bai Mu put down his phone.
I rushed to the Crown Snowfield during the day and then rushed back by plane at night.
What a busy day!
The next day.
Cypress sent its roaring tail to learn music.
He then sought out Marie to find a large enough open space to train his own Pokémon.
Mary was very enthusiastic.
How many people in the world wouldn't want to know how champions train Pokémon?
She was definitely one of them!
Of course, Mary had already experienced this long ago. Although she found that she couldn't learn it at all after trying for a while, she still wanted to get some inspiration for raising Pokémon from it.
"Crown-Kashiwagi, how did you teach your Pokémon so many moves?"
She raised a question that all trainers were curious about.
It is common knowledge that, setting aside the Pokémon's intelligence, the difficulty of learning moves is ranked in descending order as follows:
This type's attack moves, other types' attack moves, this type's status moves, other types' status moves.
How can Kashiwagi get his Pokémon to learn a bunch of different types of moves?
There are no skill learning machines like those in the anime.
"They are exceptionally gifted."
Kashiwagi had no choice but to answer in this way.
How else can you explain it? Is he some kind of god who's cheating?
He dares to say it, and Mary has to dare to believe it!
Marie seemed to be deep in thought, genuinely considering the impact of Pokémon talent on learning moves.
But it does have an impact. Similarly, the trainer's teaching ability is also very important. Some trainers learn skills without any techniques, just blindly and relentlessly practice, and then by chance they learn a new move.
So busy.
Cypress stayed in Spike Town for five days.
The strange changes at Wangguan Snowfield have attracted a lot of attention, and its continued trending status has even overshadowed the World Championships.
After all, no matter how glorious a battle is, it can only be considered a sporting event, while natural disasters are closely related to people's lives, and the audience is naturally not proportional.
The Galar Alliance promptly intervened, reassuring the public that there was no need to panic, and simultaneously broadcasting live the current situation in villages near the Crown Snowfield.
The riots were successfully contained at their source.
The inner turmoil of the crape myrtle was quickly resolved; it told the cypress seeds were difficult to decompose and could be preserved for over a hundred years.
When she learned that Kashiwagi had collected nearly 100,000 pieces, the Queen of the Rachel was very pleased.
It really wanted to give all the seeds to the cypress, but a sense of responsibility prevented it from doing so.
These seeds have been accumulated over thousands of years in the snowfield, and since they are the seeds that sprout from it, they should be given back to the entire snowfield.
Therefore, it could only inform Bai Mu in advance so that he could go and steal it.
Take as much as you can.
The results were quite unexpected.
"This substance, when consumed regularly, will prevent all diseases and prolong life; you should also consume it."
That's what the Queen said on the phone.
Upon hearing that it could extend the trainer's lifespan, many Pokémon decided against eating him and instead prepared to save them for him.
"No need. Life is only about 30,000 days. One pill a day would only amount to 30,000 pills. There's no need to save any for me."
Kashiwagi was lying through his teeth to these Pokémon who weren't good at studying.
Some Pokémon believed it, some didn't. But in any case, he was forced to join the ranks of those who collect Pokémon seeds.
At the same time, he mailed some to Minoru Yama.
"Find a few geniuses to study this."
"What's this?"
"The elixir of immortality!"
"..."
Yama Minoru was speechless and even suspected that Kashiwagi had drunk too much and was playing such a joke on him late at night.
They later learned that it came from the tree of the Crème della Signoria.
Yamaminori was shocked. "Really?"
"Zun du zun du!"
"...Give the phone back to your trainer!"
"Sorry, that was Gengar just now. Of course I'm serious with you. Let's study this carefully and live to be a hundred years old."
"OK."
Yama Minoru dropped a single word.
Kashiwagi, who knew his personality well, knew that the fewer words he used, the more important they were to him.
I wonder if the advanced technology of the Pokémon world can decipher this thing.
What if it works?
Kashiwagi quickly shifted his focus, deciding to deal with the rest later and prioritizing preparing for the match.
For the past five days, Mary has been constantly around him.
At first, the cheering squad was dissatisfied and wanted to play some pranks.
It was later discovered that Kashiwagi was truly obsessed with training Pokémon, cycling through basic training, move practice, and sparring.
The intensity was so great that it made some of the gym leader trainers in the shouting team panic.
Where do he and his Pokémon get so much energy?
Is training all there is to his life?
Won't it get boring?
"How could you possibly get tired of it? When you can feel yourself improving, you'll become addicted."
Looking at the simulator countdown in the lower right corner, Kashiwagi smiled and said, "Continue?"
Mary, who had just lost to him, hesitated for a moment, then bit her lower lip and nodded, "Continue! I won't give up!"
If you can't win a few dozen games, then win a few hundred!
I'll be able to defeat Kashiwagi sooner or later!
Mary firmly believed this, but as a result, she failed to win a single match before the game between Kashiwagi and Ai Lan was about to begin.
As the young girl questioned her life, she couldn't help but look back on her career as a trainer.
Thanks to her Pokémon, she was able to calm her mind and avoid the danger of sitting at the same table as Cattleya.
The day before the game.
Kashiwagi dropped out of school with a roaring tail.
“Eee-ah…”
Roaring Tail looked at the stylist that had grown its fur back, as well as the other Pokémon in the band, and felt a strange sense of reluctance.
It loves this lively family!
The bear smiled and comforted it, indicating that it could come back anytime, and that the band's doors were always open to it!
Roaring Tail: "Eee-ah~!"
The band is arguably the third place, after Platinum Silver Mountain and the shipwreck, where it feels a sense of belonging.
"Ee-ah~"
It waved goodbye to the band of Pokémon, including Obscurus, and remained deeply moved until it boarded the train.
Little did they know that the moment it left, the bear and its companions embraced and wept.
"Gum!"
"squeak!"
"Crack!"
Several Pokémon that looked like burly men had tears in their eyes, which made Marie look at them strangely.
"Brother, what's wrong with them?"
"...Maybe it's because it's reluctant to part with a good student." Nie Zi twitched the corner of his mouth. He had never seen a Pokémon as dazed as Roaring Tail.
Not very smart and has a fiery temper, but he happens to have a great voice.
If it weren't for Kashiwagi's request to come and thank him often, and his desire for his younger sister to learn more from him, he probably would have gone on strike long ago.
Why are the bears crying?
Of course I'm excited! We've finally gotten rid of this plague god, who wouldn't be excited?
Mary: "..."
She's not stupid, and she has eyes.
The Pokémon of the Kashiwagi family are indeed quite unique.
Gentle creatures, like Cheese Egg and Milotic, are extremely gentle; fierce creatures, like Hydreigon and Steelix, are extremely fierce.
There are plenty of people who like to be funny, introverted, or love to sleep.
Mary was struck by the woman's extremely distinct personality.
It turns out that even champion Pokémon are not as grandmaster-like as portrayed on TV.
Aren't you going to watch the game?
Nie Zi suddenly realized something.
My younger sister didn't go to Miyamoto City to watch Kashiwagi's match.
Mary shook her head and said, "I've bothered him long enough, I can't bother him any longer."
She said with admiration, "There's no reason why a trainer like Kashiwagi can't win in the end!"
In just five days, she, who already admired Kashiwagi, became completely convinced of his worth.
-
Gongmen City.
The Galle metropolis is unusually noisy during the day.
The area around the arena was especially crowded.
Dandi specially sent a car to pick him up, so that Kashiwagi didn't have to find his own way to enter after getting off the train.
"Hurry, hurry!"
He was a little excited.
He had been looking forward to this match for a long time and hoped to reach the qualifying rounds as soon as possible.
Multi-faceted phone said, "This time it's all one-on-one?"
"Ah."
Bai Mu nodded.
Regardless, Ai Lan's strength should not be underestimated. To be on the safe side, he did not plan to fight three opponents at once, but instead opted for a more conservative three-on-three strategy.
Hopefully, Ai Lan won't let him down.
Upon entering, it was clear that the audience seats were already full, while the trainer seats opposite were empty.
Wow!
His appearance caused a huge uproar.
Kashiwagi smiled and waved to the audience, which made the fans even more enthusiastic and excited.
Many people even stood up, waving banners and flags and jumping around on the spot.
"Champion! Champion!"
"Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi!"
The commentator, who was reading the script, looked up upon hearing the noise and, upon seeing Kashiwagi, immediately turned on his microphone and shouted, "The champion has arrived! Let's welcome him with the warmest applause!"
clap clap-
The applause was thunderous.
A few moments.
Ai Lan arrived at the scene.
Unlike his previous boyish appearance, he now exudes a scholarly air.
Did you study with Dr. Blatano for a long time?
Bai Mu nodded to him from a distance, and Ai Lan returned the gesture.
The two sides had not met many times before, and had fought a few battles in the past, so they could only be considered nodding acquaintances.
Daigo actually thought highly of both of them, but unfortunately Alain was deceived by the lion-headed Fradil and almost became the culprit who destroyed Carlos.
As a result, Ai Lan was imprisoned for a period of time.
Thanks to Dr. Bratano's guarantor, he was able to get out, but he missed the Carlos Miare Tournament.
Ultimately, Ash, relying on his frog, successfully achieved the highest score in the Kalos League.
Instead of being hoisted to the highest point by the lion head using a special weapon.
They successfully saved Ge Jihua's face and prevented her prediction from becoming a joke.
"Now, let's announce the competition rules!"
Both players are very close to the Masters tier in terms of ranking, so in a way, this is a crucial match that will determine who can advance to the Masters tier.
According to the original storyline, Ai Lan would undoubtedly be the one laughing last.
Unfortunately, his opponent changed to Kashiwagi, so naturally, he was the one who had the last laugh.
Both players throw Poké Balls forward!
“Guhou!”
"Roar!"
Aggron and Charizard make their debut!
