Nebel Plateau.
Baimu stepped out of the Warp Ring and received a warm "welcome" from the wild Pokémon.
"Seriously? It hasn't been that long, and you've already forgotten me?"
He raised his hands in surrender. Chesnaught, Scrafty, Claydol, and the others had him surrounded. "Everyone! I'm the Nibel Plateau Honorary Pokémon Volcanion appointed!"
Hoopa tilted his head curiously. "Doesn't everyone know Little White?"
The wild Pokémon looked baffled, but none of them lowered their guard.
Fortunately, help soon arrived.
With a rapid patter of footsteps, Magearna came running from the distance, looking faintly anxious.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
She held her little hands beside her opening shell, like a princess lifting her skirts as she ran.
The two Fletchling behind her looked like guards or maids. They flapped their wings and chirped as if crying, "Spare him!"
"Magearna!"
Baimu waved to her and breathed a quiet sigh of relief. He didn't want their reunion to be too awkward if he could help it.
Had he really been that forgettable when they dealt with Jarvis?
None of them recognized him!
Thanks to the Fletchling's cries and Magearna's hurried footsteps, the wild Pokémon preparing to attack exchanged looks, then hesitantly parted.
The weaker Pokémon hiding nearby began poking their heads out too.
Some had played with Hydreigon and Blissey before. At last, they recognized the "intruder" as the human friend who had fought the bad guys alongside them.
The Amaura Blissey had treated was among them.
But before they could react,
Magearna swept past them like a gust of wind and threw herself into Baimu's arms.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
What happened when a hunk of metal weighing nearly a hundred kilograms slammed into someone at high speed?
Nothing at all!
Don't underestimate someone from Orre!
Baimu steadied Magearna by the head and smiled.
