Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 308 Baiyang Town

December 15th, sunny weather.

The picturesque town of Baiyang is adorned with a clear river that flows gently through one beautiful courtyard after another, bringing endless vitality to the town. Two clock towers also stand tall into the clouds.

Winter seems to have no effect on this fairytale-like town; the sky remains blue, the land green, the water clear, and the clouds white.

These two clock towers, designed by the brilliant architect Gaudí, are magnificent and have become the most distinctive landmarks in Baiyang Town.

These two towering, magnificent, and solemn clock towers are known as the "Towers of Time and Space".

At this moment, in a quaint library room within the Tower of Time and Space.

A researcher wearing glasses was searching for some information, with blueprints, documents and books piled up on the ground.

"No, not this one, not this one either—"

Tony looked anxious.

"If I find that book, I can solve Darkrai's problem—"

Tony pulled a photograph out of his top pocket.

The girl above embraced her shy self with enthusiasm and cheerfulness.

"Finding that book will solve Darkrai's problem, right?"

Tony muttered to himself as he looked at the photograph, then continued to immerse himself in various ancient books.

Outside of Ash Blossom Town, Ash and his friends looked at the town across the river.

"Wow—is this Poplar Town?"

Xiao Guang, holding Bogarman, looked at the beautiful town across the river and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"So beautiful!"

"So how should we get there?"

Ash looked at the river blocking his group's path, scratched his head, and asked.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang closed the map and remained silent.

"Hey, Xiaogang, you didn't lead us the wrong way again, did you?"

Xiao Guang looked at Xiao Gang with an unfriendly gaze and asked.

Xiao Gang initially wanted to argue, but in the end he lowered his head.

"Never mind, I'm used to it."

Xiao Guang waved his hand and said.

Just as the three were at their wits' end, a hot air balloon flew over, carrying a girl who waved to Ash and the others.

With the help of the girl Alice, Ash and his friends crossed the river and arrived at Ashtown, where a grand contest was to be held.

Mikoli emerged from the Tower of Time and Space, gazing upon the breathtakingly beautiful scenery before her.

"We're back in Baiyang Town again. The scenery here is truly breathtaking."

Mikoli said.

"The wind here carries a warm and happy atmosphere."

At this moment, his assistant chimed in, "Isn't that precisely why you've returned to Twinleaf Town so many times?"

Michael laughed. "Yes, the scenery here is truly unforgettable, so when the dialect shopkeeper agreed to let me be a special guest at the Grand Contest, I decided to hold the event in Poplar Town."

"I want him to see the same view as his breeding shed."

"The Dialect Shop Manager —"

The assistant muttered to himself, "A name I've never heard of before."

"You'll find out who he is then."

Mikoli glanced at his phone and then said, "Let's go pick up a distinguished guest."

The assistant followed Michael's footsteps. "Who is it? That shop manager with the dialect?"

Mikkuri shook his head. "A very powerful champion trainer."

After saying that, he sensed something, stopped in his tracks, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's here."

Assistant Saori looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky.

Cynthia?!

Saori was extremely surprised.

Cynthia jumped off Garchomp's back in her high heels.

"Long time no see, Mikoli."

"Long time no see, Champion Cynthia."

Michael greeted her politely, "I really didn't expect you to come to watch the Grand Contest."

Cynthia tucked her hands inside her trench coat; the climate in Ashtown was mild, so she only showed her face through her scarf.

"I heard you invited Fang Yan as a special guest for the Grand Contest?"

Mikoli paused, then, as if struck by a thought, stood up and said, "Hmm, I suppose Champion Cynthia is really looking forward to the dialect shopkeeper's performance?"

Cynthia nodded. "I came to see. Actually, I was thinking of inviting him to be a special guest at the Lily of the Valley Festival."

Special guests invited to the Lily of the Valley Convention?

"I believe he won't refuse."

Hearing Mikkuri's words, Cynthia seemed to realize something and laughed, "He'll most likely refuse."

Mikoli didn't understand why he would say that.

"Baiyang Town actually agreed to lend you the Tower of Time and Space to host the Grand Contest?"

Cynthia was very curious about this.

"Because some things have happened in Baiyang Town recently, the condition for lending me the Tower of Time and Space is that I help resolve these issues."

"Um?"

Mikkuri showed Cynthia the video of Darkrai.

"So, the condition is that you help resolve Darkrai's nightmare incident?"

Mikkuri nodded in response to Cynthia's question.

"That's right."

"Darkrai? A legendary Pokémon, said to bring nightmares."

Cynthia narrowed her eyes.

I remembered someone in the dialect saying that someone would be bringing a legendary Pokémon to this year's Lily of the Valley Conference.

"Leave this matter to me. You just focus on the Grand Contest."

"Cynthia said."

"But this—"

Looking at Cynthia's expression, Mikuri realized that this was the Sinnoh region after all, and he could prepare a gift to thank her later.

"Then I'll have to trouble Champion Cynthia."

Cynthia waved her hand and then left in her high heels.

"After all, I am the Sinnoh champion, so this is something I should handle."

Watching Cynthia's departing figure, Mikuri turned and returned to the Tower of Time.

In the Pokémon Garden.

A clear stream flows through the middle, and the courtyard is lush with greenery.

In the courtyard, Infernape, Torterra, Marill, Nerubian, Aipom, and other Pokémon are all closing their eyes.

Feel the music Alice plays on the leaf.

Alice, dressed in a dress, sat on a rock and played the Orasion, a tune her grandmother had taught her, on a leaf.

Alice.

Researcher Tony approached, looking anxious. "Something very dangerous is going to happen here soon. You should leave for a while—"

"Wherever Tony is, that's where I'll be."

Alice interrupted Tony with a smile, and Tony blushed.

"But----"

"It's okay, Tony, you'll protect me, right?"

Tony scratched his head. "But you should still—"

Alice hugged Tony's arm tightly, her smile sweet.

"Don't worry, Alice, I, Baron Albert, will protect you."

The sudden sound startled Tony and Alice.

Albert continued his long-winded speech.

"I know who's behind this; it's Darkrai."

"Darkrai?"

Tony and Alice exchanged a glance.

Albert nodded. "Don't worry, I've already organized a task force to defeat the evil Darkrai. Once the town is defeated, things will return to normal."

"At that time, Alice, you—"

It was only then that Albert noticed Alice was clinging to Tony's arm.

Albert took two steps back.

"I'm sorry, Albert, I already have someone I like."

Alice tightened her grip on Tony's arm.

Albert: ————

Mom, I've broken up with my boyfriend. (*)

He turned and left, saying, "You wait, I will definitely defeat Darkrai."

After Albert left, Tony looked at Alice and said, "The book says Darkrai isn't bad."

Alice nodded. "Grandma once told me that she had seen Darkrai and even saved it, so it must have some unspeakable reason."

Tony was taken aback, a secret he couldn't explain—

A spacetime rift overhead ——————
