Chapter 264: A Family on the Same Household Register
After the Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable became familiar with Fangxing Mountain, Bai Feng released the Unown possessing Eternatus's body. He introduced them to the Clefairy and also took the opportunity to explain the specific work the Clefairy and Clefable would be doing on Fangxing Mountain.
Upon learning that their future job was to use Cosmic Power to help charge Eternatus's core, the Clefairy and Clefable expressed that they would work hard to practice their Moves and strive to start working as soon as possible.
Through chatting with other Pokémon on Fangxing Mountain previously, the Clefairy and Clefable already knew that the promises Bai Feng made when he Caught them were true. They envied the Pokémon on the mountain who received Wages and therefore also wanted to quickly become one of them.
Also, after the Unown came out of the Distortion Space, Bai Feng did not Recall them again. Instead, he let them fly around the mountain every day, piloting Eternatus's body.
Gradually, the Pseudo-Eternatus and the Pokémon on the mountain also became familiar with each other.
Although the Unown liked to wander around the mountain, they would not easily come out of Eternatus's body. This led to the other Pokémon on the mountain not knowing about their existence, only thinking that Eternatus's body was a single Pokémon.
After returning from the Kanto region, Bai Feng and his Pokémon's lives returned to normal. Bai Feng either spent his days managing the Orchard and cultivating fruit trees, or attending school and training Pokémon.
Meanwhile, the Pokémon underwent strict training every day.
Since the Deposit Service began and many Pokémon belonging to other Pokémon Trainers were added to the mountain, the entire Fangxing Mountain became increasingly competitive. Everyone was thinking about how to become stronger every day. If you surpassed me today, I would surpass you tomorrow.
Overall, Bai Feng's Main Pokémon held an advantage over the deposited Pokémon. To maintain their status, they also put in their utmost effort in training.
Bai Ye pulled Mewtwo, Lopunny, and even the Pseudo-Eternatus for Battle Training every day, and also pulled Primarina for Fairy Aura Training, hoping to fully master the power of the Mega Stone within its body as soon as possible.
After a period of comprehension, Primarina finally grasped a hint of the essence of Fairy Aura. Although it wasn't much, it was still a gain.
In addition, it also began actively researching the Band's Combined Tactics and applying them in battles. However, for now, Primarina still has a long way to go to truly unleash the full strength of the entire Band.
Currently, including Primarina, the Band has a total of 7 Members. This is quite a number, and integrating them into a single tactical system is very difficult.
At Bai Feng's suggestion, the Band Members uniformly learned a new Move – Round. This Move could be learned by Primarina, who is the leader, as well as the Members Altaria, Rillaboom, Kricketune, Chatot, Lapras, and the Toxtricity Brothers. It is a very suitable Move for collective cooperation within a Band.
The power of this Move increases with the number of users. It also has a special property: when one Pokémon uses Round, the Round of other friendly Members will also activate immediately.
For a group of Pokémon skilled in singing and music, the Round Move was not difficult to learn. Kricketune already knew this Move, and with Bai Feng's Golden Finger, the other Band Members quickly learned it as well.
But learning it is one thing; being able to perfectly cooperate and fully utilize the Move's power is another.
Only when Primarina actually put it into practice did it realize how difficult it was to achieve perfect cooperation among 7 Members in battle.
It had to battle while also directing the other Members to use the appropriate Moves at the right time, whether for offense, defense, healing, or interference... It simply couldn't handle everything.
If one Member suddenly lost the rhythm, the entire Band's other Members would suffer as well. At that point, let alone leveraging the team battle advantage, it would be hard to say if their individual strength could even be displayed normally.
To train the cooperation among the Band Members, Primarina often challenged Bai Feng's other Main Pokémon to battles, but the results were very unsatisfactory. Almost every time, they would suddenly lose rhythm and get severely beaten.
Bai Feng would only give Primarina and the Band some appropriate suggestions. The real fine-tuning needed to be done through their own efforts. As for whether they could continue on this path, that could only be left to Providence.
Heliolisk continued its training by absorbing energy from the Artificial Eternatus's core. Before the energy depletion, it didn't need to consider anything else.
Furthermore, it had already grasped a hint of essence from Zapdos's Tail Feather, thus greatly increasing the power of its Electric-type Moves. The electricity on its body began to differ slightly from that of regular Pokémon, possessing a hint of unspeakable majesty.
Also training by absorbing the energy from the Artificial Eternatus's core was the newly joined Volcarona. As a Fire-type Pokémon, its efficiency in absorbing the core's energy was even higher than Heliolisk's.
Volcarona was different from other Pokémon. It was originally very strong, but became weak because its internal energy was purified by Bai Feng. Therefore, while other Pokémon were simply training, it was recovering its strength.
With the double guarantee of the core and Experience Candy, its strength growth speed was extremely fast.
Tranquill continued to train with Xatu and the Togekiss Couple, occasionally going to provoke Lysandre's Honchkrow. Its days were very fulfilling.
Dragonair worked hard to train the power inherited from Zygarde, and occasionally exchanged experience with Lance's two Dragonair and Calyrex's Goodra. While its strength grew steadily, its understanding of Dragon-type power also deepened.
Bayleef was arguably the least bothered by strength growth among Bai Feng's Main Pokémon. Although it also trained hard every day, it never felt frustrated by losing battles or training slower than others. It was always cheerful.
Of course, it was precisely this optimistic attitude that allowed its strength to grow steadily through the daily routine of caring for the fruit trees.
It helped the fruit trees grow, and the fruit trees would also give back their power to it.
After returning to Biyi City, Bai Feng forgot a very important thing, causing Mewtwo to look at him with a resentful gaze for many days. It wasn't until Bai Ye reminded him that he remembered he had previously promised to take Mewtwo to sign up for the Aircraft Pilot Qualification Exam.
Since he remembered, he had to act according to his promise. So, on this day, Bai Feng and Bai Ye took Mewtwo to Bi Yi City West District.
For Mewtwo to sign up for the Aircraft Exam, it must first have formal Pokémon League identity. Therefore, the first place Bai Feng and the others went after arriving in the West District was the Biyi City Household Registration Office, which is specifically responsible for managing the household registration of Pokémon League Residents.
Bai Feng not only planned to register Mewtwo and his own household registration together but also planned to register an identity for his Mother. This way, he and his Mother would truly be a family in the eyes of the law from now on.
This kind of registration was very different from the one Bai Feng helped Machamp with before. Machamp's only required registration at a Pokémon Center, while Bai Ye's could only be registered at the Household Registration Office.
The Household Registration Office was a very busy place, especially since Biyi City was a densely populated large city. Early in the morning, there was already a large crowd of people handling services.
However, there weren't many people at the Pokémon Identity Registration counter they needed to go to, so they only waited in line for a short while before it was their turn.
Bai Ye's identity was easy to register. It only took over ten minutes to complete. From now on, it would be a Pokémon with formal Pokémon League Resident Status and capable of independent action.
Of course, Bai Ye's identity information was bound to Bai Feng's. All of its actions would also be related to Bai Feng. For example, if it committed a crime, Bai Feng would have joint responsibility.
Although there is no such thing as a household register in the Pokémon World, in a sense, Bai Feng and Bai Ye were now a family on the same household register.
The trouble arose with Mewtwo. To the outside world, Mewtwo was an unknown Pokémon, so there was trouble with information collection. Because this kind of Pokémon did not exist in the Pokémon League's Pokémon Information Database, the Household Registration Office had no way to collect its information, and thus no way to register its identity.
Looking at the Miss who was helping with the registration, who was looking at him with a face full of apologies, Bai Feng asked, "Then, may I ask what method I should use in this situation?"
"Mister, please wait a moment. This is the first time I've encountered this situation, so I need to consult first," the Miss said shyly.
"Okay, thank you, Sister!" Bai Feng said gratefully.
"It's nothing," the Miss smiled sweetly.
After some consultation, the Miss said to Bai Feng, "Mister, in this situation, you need to first go to the Pokémon Information Collection Department to collect the Pokémon's information. Once the information of this Pokémon is entered into the Pokémon League's Pokémon Information Database, you can then come back to register its identity."
"Excuse me, where is the Pokémon Information Collection Department?" Bai Feng asked again.
The Miss thoughtfully took out a Biyi City Map and pointed to a place, telling Bai Feng, "The Pokémon Information Collection Department is at the Biyi City Pokémon Research Institute. Mister can go directly there to inquire."
After remembering the location of the Pokémon Research Institute, Bai Feng thanked the Miss, "Thank you, Sister."
"You're welcome," the Miss smiled and shook her head. "I'm honored to see an unknown Pokémon today!"
After saying goodbye to the Miss, Bai Feng and Bai Ye walked out of the Household Registration Office with Mewtwo.
"Alright, let's go to the Pokémon Research Institute to inquire," Bai Feng said to Mewtwo after sighing. Who would have thought they would encounter this kind of trouble?
At this moment, Mewtwo spoke hesitantly, "How about... we forget it? If my identity is exposed, it will definitely bring you trouble."
Mewtwo knew its identity was special, so it didn't want to bring trouble and danger to Bai Feng because of its own selfish purpose.
Bai Feng was startled upon hearing this, then smiled and patted its shoulder, saying, "It's okay. This is Kalos, not the Kanto region. Team Rocket's forces can't reach here for now. As for other troubles, you don't need to worry even more. I can handle it!"
The appearance of a new Pokémon would definitely cause a certain degree of stir and bring some trouble, but Bai Feng felt that Mewtwo would have to face these things someday. He didn't want Mewtwo to live a life of hiding. He hoped that one day Mewtwo could live freely and as it pleased, like a regular Pokémon.
It had only just been born not long ago and hadn't properly enjoyed the beauty of this world yet!
As long as it wasn't revealed that Mewtwo was a powerful existence comparable to a Legendary Pokémon, then this dream was completely possible to achieve.
After Bai Feng told Mewtwo his thought, its face showed emotion for the first time. After a long silence, it slowly nodded to Bai Feng.
"I'll listen to you!"
Bai Feng said with relief, "You don't need to worry about anything. Just leave everything to me!"
And so, Bai Feng and Bai Ye set off with Mewtwo towards the direction of the Pokémon Research Institute.
The location of the Pokémon Research Institute was not far from the Household Registration Office. Bai Feng and the others reached their destination after walking for about ten minutes.
Entering the Research Institute, Bai Feng walked to the consultation desk at the entrance and asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to the Pokémon Information Collection Department?"
The Staff Member behind the consultation desk looked at Bai Feng in surprise, "You want to register new Pokémon information?"
The Pokémon Information Collection Department only had this one function. Because the number of newly discovered Pokémon has been decreasing in recent years, this department hasn't had visitors for a long time.
Bai Feng smiled and replied, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the Staff Member's expression instantly became serious. The discovery of a new Pokémon was a big deal. He immediately picked up the telephone in front of him and dialed.
Before dialing, he said to Bai Feng with a sincere attitude, "Please wait a moment."
Bai Feng nodded.
Not long after, Bai Feng saw an elderly man wearing a lab coat walk over quickly, muttering as he walked, "Who is it? Who wants to register new Pokémon information?"
When he saw Bai Feng, the elderly man's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to his side and asked, "Is it you?"
The Staff Member behind the consultation desk introduced him to Bai Feng, "This is the Director of our Research Institute, Dr. Ferenado."
"Dr. Ferenado, hello!" Bai Feng politely greeted the elderly man and introduced himself and Bai Ye, "My name is Bai Feng, and this is Bai Ye."
"Hello, hello!" The elderly man had an eager expression on his face. "Where is the new Pokémon? Let me see the Pokémon first."
Bai Feng paused and said, "Dr. Ferenado... perhaps we should talk somewhere else?"
"Oh, yes, we should move somewhere else to talk." Dr. Ferenado finally reacted, slapping his forehead. "Look at me, hurry, come with me!" Saying this, he pulled Bai Feng forward. Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly followed.
After bringing Bai Feng and Bai Ye to a Room, Dr. Ferenado rubbed his hands and said impatiently, "Quick, quick, release the newly discovered Pokémon for me to see."
"Mewtwo!"
Bai Feng called out, and Mewtwo's figure slowly appeared from the air.
The moment he saw Mewtwo, Dr. Ferenado almost jumped up.
"It really is a new species of Pokémon! It really is a new species of Pokémon!"
He kept muttering to himself and even tried to reach out and touch Mewtwo, but Bai Feng stepped forward and stopped him with Psychic.
Dr. Ferenado blushed, scratching his head in embarrassment, "Sorry, sorry, I was just too excited."
