Chapter 361: Horseman and Horse

".Hat?"

Hearing Pioni's mumbling and looking at the two figures gradually moving away, Luo Mu withdrew his gaze, as if thinking about something.

I didn't expect that I could see that person again in this Dongning Village.

Moon, a Pokémon professor who studies the Ultra Hole in the Alola region, is the mother-in-law of the human form of Pheromone. Ahem, the husband of Lusamine, the chairman of the Aether Foundation.

As for the "person" next to Moon, if Luo Mu remembered correctly, the white and yellow hat brim that Pioni saw was probably the edge of the translucent upper umbrella of the ultimate beast Xuwuid.

The so-called ultimate beasts come from a different world called the Ultimate Dimension. They are creatures from another dimension, and Xuwuid is one of them.

As for why Moon appeared in the Crown Snowfield of the Galar region and lived alone, and why he had an ultimate beast daughter whom he called "Lillie" by his side.

The source of all this came from a certain day many years ago when Moon, who was researching how to open the Ultimate Cave, fell into the Ultimate Cave due to an experimental accident and disappeared without a trace.

But Moon, who fell into the Ultimate Hole and entered the Ultimate Space, was discovered in a coma by a passing alien Xuwuid. Xuwuid discovered Moon and went through another Ultimate Hole, wanting to take Moon out of the Ultimate Space, but found that they appeared in the icy Crown Snowfield.

Through his special ability, Xuwuyide read part of Moon's memory. Perhaps it was some special mood at work. Looking at Moon who had lost his memory and looked confused, he realized that he had lost his memory.

Xuwuid lived with him in the Crown Snowfield, while Lusamine, who was far away in the Alola region, started research on the Ultimate Hole in order to find her husband.
Regarding Moon's matter, Luo Mu thought that maybe he could wait until King Leiguan had dealt with his affairs before paying him another visit to confirm his current condition.

It would be better to wait until I am about to go to the Alola region and then inform Lusamine of this matter according to the circumstances.

At this time, accompanied by the old village chief's full-hearted shout, the reins in his hand were finally sewn.

The villagers and tourists watching from all around applauded, obviously thinking that the old village chief's sewing skills were very ornamental.

There were also a few people who looked at the reins in the old village chief's hand. The reins looked extremely rough in appearance, with many parts not sewn perfectly. The shape could just be seen, and the details were like a car rollover scene. They showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

This naturally includes Luo Mu and Pioni.

Apparently, the old village chief also noticed this. He pushed his reading glasses and said to Luo Mu, "Although I consider myself a dexterous person, that was only limited to when I was young."

"Although I am a little reluctant, because my eyesight has deteriorated and my hands are always shaking unconsciously, this can only be considered a semi-finished product. Well, it would be great if there was someone more skillful."

Luo Mu originally planned to raise his hand to "recommend himself". After all, in addition to the reins mixed with the Lingyou horse's mane, he would probably have to sew the reins for the Blizzard horse later.

In order to sew a brand new, cute doll cover for Mimikyu, Luo Mu has recently been learning sewing techniques from Miss Joy. Now sewing the reins is not a problem.

but
As if he had thought of something, Luo Mu suddenly looked at Pioni beside him, and under his confused expression, he said: "My soul friend, you can take such good care of Xia Keya and Mudan, and you can even sew clothes for them by yourself. You must be a clever person."

Pioni tilted his head at first, as if he felt something was wrong, but when he heard the words "spiritual friend" from Luo Mu for the first time, and he also heard him praising him as a great father, he immediately felt proud, and he raised his head and laughed wildly with his hands on his hips:

"Wow~haha! I have sewn countless clothes for the wild girls and the homely girls at home. Isn't it just a matter of making the rope? It's a piece of cake!"

As he spoke, Pioni looked at the old village chief with excitement, stretched out his hand and said, "Leave it to me!"

The old village chief was a little surprised at the sudden change in his drinking buddy, but under the gaze of many people, he handed the semi-finished reins and materials to Pioni, and took advantage of the fact that others could not hear the conversation between the people on the stage, and raised his hand and shouted: "Now, please invite tourist Mr. Pioni to experience the traditional craftsmanship of Frozen Village!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the curiosity of several groups of tourists below was immediately aroused, and they all turned their focused eyes to the stage.

Pioni held the brilliant petals and black mane in one hand and asked the old village chief, "Then what do you want to do with the petals and the mane?"

The old village chief demonstrated to Pioni Void: "Just do this first, then this, and finally this way it will be over!"

Pioni suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

Luo Mu: “.”

What did you understand!

Fortunately, Luo Mu believed that he had a very good observation ability, and coupled with his own basic knowledge, he was able to form specific sewing steps in his mind through Pioni's movements.

Shortly after Pioni started sewing, the reason why Luo Mu would rather give up sewing the reins by himself appeared.

The old village chief said: "My great-grandfather told me that when sewing the reins, one needs to sing a ballad to fully integrate one's heart into the reins, just like sharpening the edge of a sword to make it shine with true light."

"Ahem. Then, let me make a few remarks."

"The flowers are curled up in a round shape, and the mane is clipped to present to my king~"

"Come on, everyone, sing along with me!"

"Flower~Roll up round~Pinch up the mane~Dedicate to~My King~"

As the old village chief's strange folk song sang, the villagers of Dongning Village looked at each other and joined in the singing.

They also led a small number of tourists to unconsciously blend into the environment. Pioni was not at all stage frightened and perfectly interpreted what social phobia is. While singing the ballad in a loud tenor voice, he kept sewing the reins with his hands.

It was simply a riot of demons. The embarrassed Luo Mu even wondered whether they were crazy or he was the crazy one.

Fortunately, even under the influence of the general trend, Luo Mu still stuck to his original intention and was not led astray by the herd mentality. Instead, he focused on watching the process of Pioni sewing the reins, imprinting the steps and techniques of this memory in his mind, waiting to put them into practice in real combat.

"My soulmate, I entrust the reins to you."

Pioni smiled and handed the reins that seemed to be shining under the sunlight to Luo Mu, and said something that only the two of them could understand.

Luo Mu nodded, took the reins, and was about to say something when Pioni leaned over and whispered in Luo Mu's ear in a very low voice that only the two of them could hear: "I can see that the King of Plenty is still wary of us."

"We, the descendants of those who once betrayed and forgot it, should stay in Frozen Village and wait for good news from you."

Pioni made his words very clear. Knowing his own limitations, he chose to stay in the village with the children and no longer hang around in front of the Belladonna, reminding it of bad memories.

Perhaps the King of Plenty will no longer favor the Galar region in the future.

Carrying the reins, Luo Mu found the old village chief again. After discussing some things with him, he left Dongning Village and arrived at the ancient cemetery before sunset.

The Bud Crown King had been waiting here for a long time.

At this time, all the black radishes in the fields next to the ancient cemetery had disappeared. Lingyou Horse lay beside the fields, staring at the soil, as if hoping that his gaze would make new black radishes grow in the ground again.

On the back of the Ghost Horse, Vulpix, Victini and Cosmog were happily playing with its mane, but the Ghost Horse did not dare to complain.

There was a Bud Crown King on the left and a Roentgen cat on the right, watching it closely. It dared not move, so it could only wag its tail and hope that new black radishes would grow in the ground to heal its wounded heart.

Looking at this scene, Luo Mu couldn't help laughing.

However, he still kept his expression tense, took the reins in his hand, which no longer sparkled due to the darkness, and handed them to the Belle Crown King.

"This is a tripping bridle. Do you think it can be used?"

The Flower Crown King used telekinesis to take the reins, held them in his own hands, and observed them carefully.

After a moment, the Rape Crown King said excitedly: "Yes, this is the reins! I really don't know how to thank you, my friend!"

Instead of immediately taking the reins to look for the slightly ruffled Lingyou horse over there, the Lotus Crown King looked at the reins in his hand and murmured softly.

"Once, I thought that humans had abandoned their faith in me, and that was why they stopped offering me the reins."

"Now it seems that I was not able to provide the materials needed to make the binding reins. It seems that I have misunderstood humans for a long time."

Once a king, the Rapecrest was upright, as if it had chosen to no longer rely on human power and faith for various reasons.

The Bud Crown King does not shy away from his mistakes and will never use the power he controls as capital to not admit his mistakes.

Wrong is wrong, but even knowing this, the Crown of Lotus will not withdraw her decision.

After taking a deep breath, Crown of Buds used his telekinesis to send the three Pokémon playing on Ponyta to Luo Mu one by one. Roentgens seemed to have noticed something, stretched, and walked to Luo Mu's side.

Lingyouma, who already knew what would happen next, sighed and slowly stood up, thinking that there was nothing wrong with this.

The feeling of being infused with the Lotus Crown King, having your body filled with the spiritual energy from the Lotus Crown King and enhancing your spiritual power is indeed addictive.

Seeing that his beloved horse was ready, a look of nostalgia flashed across King Leiguan's eyes. He immediately floated onto the back of Lingyou Horse, waving the reins in his hand and connecting them to both sides of Lingyou Horse's face.

As the Flower Crown King continuously injected his spiritual energy into the body of the Spirit Horse through the reins, in an instant, a dazzling light burst out from the Flower Crown King, the Spirit Horse and the reins!

The Rape Crown King tightened the reins. At this time, it and the Spirit Horse were already in a state of high resonance. They could communicate with each other's minds without words and became one and the same.

The ghost horse raised its front hooves high and let out a pitch-black neigh. The dual energy of superpowers and ghosts turned into a vortex that surrounded it and the Flower Crown King. In the dazzling light, it seemed as if the miracle of evolution was manifesting on the Flower Crown King.

The cloak-like wings on its back slowly stretched out under the influence of the white light, and completely turned into a white cloak representing its kingly status, fluttering in the airflow caused by the explosive growth of energy.

After a moment, the energy surging around the Lotus Crown King and the Spirit Horse finally calmed down, which also announced that it had now completely transformed into a human-horse integrated form with the Spirit Horse!
The Bud Crown King closed his eyes, feeling the endless power in his body like the sea. He was intoxicated for only a moment before adjusting his mentality. He opened his eyes and looked at Luo Mu: "My friend, come with me to the Snow Valley to complete the last puzzle!" Cosmog and Victini shouted in surprise. Looking at the Bud Crown King who had regained his past noble posture, Luo Mu was relieved and nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"

"Hiss——"

The Spirit Horse, which was in telepathic connection with the King of the Flower Crown, also neighed with full fighting spirit.

It knew that the Rape Crown King was preparing to go to the fields in the Snow Valley to plant ice radishes and attract the Snowstorm Horse!

It seemed that he remembered the miserable state of Snowpony, his former opponent, after being attacked by himself and the Crown of Flowers. Even though he had to watch half a bag of radish seeds turn into frozen radishes, Spirit Horse was still very excited.

This emotion can be described as gloating.

"It's been so many years, my dear horse, you haven't changed at all."

King Leiguan looked helplessly at the Lingyou horse under his crotch, lamenting that since the past, Lingyou horse and Blizzard horse have been like a pair of enemies, disliking each other and not getting along with each other.

The Spirit Horse raised its head happily, thinking that the Rape Crown King was praising it, and neighed loudly.

Luo Mu: “.”

Suddenly I felt that Lingyouma was like a large black husky.

The Roentgen cat beside Luo Mu stared closely at the horse-and-man-in-one Raphimosa and the Spirit Horse, and his heart, which had been calm all along, suddenly became filled with turbulent waves.

The momentum displayed by the Flower Crown King at this moment was far beyond its imagination. This shows that the legendary elves are indeed very powerful!

The King of the Flower Crown, whose state of mind had become calm after completing the unity of man and horse, naturally did not miss the sight of the Roentgen Cat. It showed a gentle smile to the Roentgen Cat, and a telepathy that only the Roentgen Cat could hear sounded in the Roentgen Cat's mind.

"After this is over, no matter how many times you want to challenge me, I will accompany you."

The next second, the spiritual energy of the Bud Crown increased greatly, and it completely enveloped the surroundings, carrying Luo Mu and the Pokémon across the distance between space and back to the snowy valley!

His eyes blurred and Luo Mu saw a piece of snow-covered deserted field that was probably frozen hard by the icy environment.

Then, the beautiful scenery of the quiet valley with a unique flavor at dusk came into view.

"If there were no snow, the night sky of the Crown Snowfield would be even more beautiful when viewed from here."

The smiling voice of the Bud Crown King sounded in Luo Mu's mind.

Luo Mu turned his head and saw that the Bud Crown King allowed Cosmogu to stay on his crown, with a doting smile on his face, which was directed at someone unknown.

Luo Mu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but found that the Lotus Crown King suddenly raised his hand and pointed it at the sky.

Luo Mu looked up at the sky, only to find that the clouds were very thick tonight and there might be a big snowstorm.

At this moment, the last rays of dusk faded, and the night completely enveloped the sky of the Crown Snowfield.

Because the distance was very close, Luo Mu could clearly see the terrifying black spirit gathered in the hands of the Flower Crown King.
After those dark spirits gathered to the extreme, they suddenly exuded a heart-pounding aura.

As the Spirit Horse raised its head and neighed, under the control of the Flower Crown King, the dark spirit suddenly rushed straight into the sky, like a meteor rising from the ground.

"Coincidentally, there is no cloud cover tonight."

As the Lotus Crown King's voice fell, countless small spirits exploded in the dark night sky. Because the color of the spirits was too suitable for the night, even Luo Mu, who had been paying attention to this, could only see the final outline of the spirits after they exploded.

Violent gusts of wind swept across the sky, and the silent roar was so shocking.

After a while, the explosion of the spirit finally stopped.

And what was reflected in Luo Mu's eyes was the cloudless, starry night sky!

He was stunned for a moment, feeling disbelief in his heart.

Am I being seduced by the King of Roses?
To be honest, the power displayed by the Lotus Crown King after completing the integration of man and horse really exceeded Luo Mu's expectations.

Using his exclusive move [Star Shatter], he dispersed all the stratocumulus clouds over the snowy valley in one breath!
Perhaps this is why legendary elves are called legendary.

Just like Mewtwo raising his hand to create a storm, Lugia affecting ocean currents, and Rayquaza dominating the sky.
Roentgen Cat opened his eyes wide, feeling the power displayed by the Flower Crown King. At the same time, he was shocked and a desire to fight arose in his heart.

It does not feel frustrated because Scalyx is now stronger than it is, just like Swampert did after gaining its Mega Evolution.

This will only make it more eager to fight!
"Mogu!"

Cosmogu looked at the sky in surprise, closed his eyes, bathed in the moonlight, and slowly enriched himself.

Noticing Cosmogu's condition, the Flower Crown King looked thoughtful.

Although there were signs a long time ago, it now seems that Cosmogu likes the sun and the moon very much. Bathing in the light will allow it to grow slowly?

The Bud Crown King silently took note of this point and his eyes fell on the fields beside him.

Looking at Vulpix and Victini who were sitting in a row and gazing at the night sky, Princess Royal said, "Before enjoying the beautiful night sky, let's take care of the last things first."

Luo Mu came back to his senses, took out the remaining half bag of radish seeds from his arms, nodded slightly and said: "We are going to plant ice radishes to attract snow blizzard horses, right?"

"good."

The Bud Crown nodded and made a suggestion.

"Among my favorite horses, Snowstorm Horse has a more aggressive temperament than Spirit Horse, but that doesn't mean it will just rush forward recklessly."

"Although the Snowstorm Horse used to dare to challenge any strong person, it has become much more cautious after experiencing my suppression. At least after the movement just now that was very obvious to the Snowstorm Horse, even if the ice radish is ripe, it will not choose to rush forward and fall into the trap."

"I have a suggestion."

King Lei Guan told Luo Mu about his proposal.

In short, it and Ponyta hid in the dark after letting the ice radish mature, leaving only Luo Mu and its Pokémon in the field.

In this way, even Snowpike will not be unwilling to show up because of the existence of Rose Crown King and Spirit Horse. The strength of Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat also ensures that he can protect himself in front of Snowpike. If he fights seriously, he can definitely defeat Snowpike and Spirit Horse.

Luo Mu had no objection to this, and nodded slightly, saying, "No problem, even if you want me to defeat the Snowstorm Horse directly, that's fine."

The Crown of Lotus smiled and said, "I believe in the power of you and the Roentgen Cat, so I can rest assured to entrust this task to you."

The plan was soon put into action.

The power of the Bud Crown King's grace once again manifested itself on the deserted fields in the snowy valley.

In an instant, the ice and snow covering the fields melted, and the hard land was transformed into soft soil suitable for planting.

In just a short while, the whole field was full of ice radishes.

Riding the Spirit Horse that was looking at Bing Luobo with disdain, the Lotus Crown King said, "Then I will hide for a while. My beloved horse has a keen sense of smell. Even if we are far away, it will come here within an hour at the latest."

After he finished speaking, the Lotus Crown King rode his Spirit Horse away at full speed, and soon disappeared from sight.

Luo Mu withdrew his gaze, hugged Cosmogu, and waited quietly with the Roentgen cats.

Although he didn't wait for an hour as the Rape Crown King said, he stayed by the field full of ice radishes for more than half an hour. Luo Mu, who was a little sleepy, heard the neighing sound coming from afar.

Suddenly waking up from his sleepiness, Luo Mu raised his head and looked into the distance.

I noticed that in the pitch-black night, a very conspicuous snow-white figure was running towards this side!

"It's Snowstorm Horse!"

Luo Mu stood up instantly, and Roentgen Cat stood directly in front of Luo Mu and the Pokémon, looking at the newcomers with a serious look.

The face of the Blizzard Horse covered with ice armor is full of majesty. The ice armor on its feet makes a heavy sound when it falls to the ground. From its strong and muscular legs, it can be seen that the strength of the Blizzard Horse is absolutely amazing.

The hooves of the Blizzard Horse continuously release cold air, freezing the surrounding snow into ice and creating a suitable path for itself to move forward.

Almost at the moment when Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat stood up, the pair of eyes with a somewhat violent look in the blizzard horse's ice armor locked onto them.

Directly passing by Luo Mu and Cosmogu in his arms, Snowstorm didn't even look at Vulpix and Victini, and his eyes fell directly on the Roentgen Cat.

It sensed the aura of a powerful Pokémon from the Roentgencat, but the Snowbringer was not afraid of it at all. It just let out a loud neigh and rushed towards this side without stopping!

Just like what the Rape Crown King said, as long as the opponent is not as strong as the Rape Crown King himself who has left some "psychological trauma" on Blizzard Horse, the stronger the strength, the more it can arouse Blizzard Horse's desire to win!
