He knows Pokémon better than me.

Ignoring Professor Oak's nonsensical ramblings, Ash bid farewell to Professor Yamanashi, as he had to catch his flight.

"Gah!!"

The Corviknight on the roof let out a long cry. This time, Ash didn't climb onto its back, but instead grabbed its claws and flew straight to Lucky City.

The sky was dark, and the feathers of the Steelraven blended seamlessly into the night.

From a distance, it looks as if Ash is flying through the void.

In less than ten minutes, he arrived at Zhuqing City. Instead of getting off, he looked down at the city from the air.

"Was this Zhuqing Village a thousand years ago?"

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh, as he and Xiao Guang were still in the "after-effects of washing jade" stage.

Based on the general outline of the city, Ash could even determine the location of Team Galactic's headquarters, farm, training grounds, and so on.

However, modern Sinnoh has lost all its ancient elements; apart from the similar town outlines, there is no overlap whatsoever.

"Wow, things have changed so much!"

He sighed and then beckoned the Corviknight to land outside the airport on the west side.

The timing was perfect; I got my ticket checked and entered the gate, but it took quite a while to inspect my luggage.

His thick bag was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things, which even professional inspectors couldn't identify.

However, after confirming Ash's identity, they promptly let him pass.

After all, he had served as a gym inspector in the Sinnoh region and held a government official position in the Sinnoh League, which would save him a lot of trouble.

At eight o'clock sharp.

Inside the cabin, he was already seated, found a comfortable position, leaned his head back, and prepared to go straight to sleep.

We'll arrive in the Galar region tomorrow; it'll likely be another busy day.

"Aww~!"

Baby Dragon, meanwhile, lay on the window ledge, watching the plane gradually take off, his expression becoming excited as well.

This thing is so big, and it can fly just like me!

"Alright, baby dragon, don't disturb others."

Ash forcibly held his Pokémon in his arms, only letting it look at the scenery outside the window from afar.

Who knows if this ancient wild dragon might suddenly go berserk and bite right into the window!

12 hours later.

At 8:00 AM, the plane landed on time at the airport in Motostoke, the same place Ash arrived at when he first came to the Galar region.

"Wake up, wake up!"

After stretching, Ash shook awake the baby dragon and Pikachu, who were curled up on his lap and fast asleep, before carrying them out of the cabin, one in each hand.

Upon exiting, the air was noticeably fresher compared to that of the Sinnoh region.
The air in Motostoke City was filled with the smell of industrial pollution, a familiar scent that completely sobered Ash up.

He's back again!
Galar arc, onward!
In reality, it has been two months and five days since he left the Galar region, which feels about right now.

However, the two months spent in the Xicui area were shortened to 10 days.

"That means I was only gone for 15 days from the day I left."

As Xiao Zhi walked down the stairs, he kept track of time on his phone.

"Pica~!"

This time, Pikachu can finally land with peace of mind, without worrying about being "slashed" a second time.

Once it breaks through the power shackles in the Galar region, it won't be as simple as just getting slashed in the next region. Pikachu will directly retaliate against the entity that inexplicably targets it from behind!
"How about it, baby dragon? This is where we'll be staying next~"

While waiting in line with their luggage, Ash patted his Pokémon's head and said, "Bea ...

The latter sniffed around, then pursed its lips, seemingly disliking the smell of industrial pollution as an ancient species.

Ash smiled at this, noting that the towns and wilderness of the Galar region were completely separated.

Once you reach the open fields, the industrial atmosphere of Motostoke and Motostoke largely disappears.

You'll definitely love it there!

He picked up the huge bag, which was decorated with the golden ginkgo pattern of the Ginkgo Merchants Association.

After carrying it on his back, he quickly walked out of the airport and arrived at the streets of Machine City. He was already quite familiar with the area, since he used to come to this town every few days to replenish supplies.

It's still early. Gu Yue General Store doesn't open until 10 am, so I'll have to go and say hello to Uncle Pierre another time.

"I choose you, Corviknight!"

Ash found an open space and released Corviknight. Finally, the people here stopped making a fuss about Corviknight.

The latter spread its wings and took flight, while he, holding onto the bird's claws, flew directly towards the watchtower castle, taking advantage of the fact that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Leap over the edge of the city walls and moat of the machine city and enter the open field.

First and foremost are Lake Minas and Lake Yaya, two beautiful, shimmering lakes.

Below me stretched a vast open field, with Giant's Bench Rock and Sunlit Forest in the distance, and the train tracks that cut across the edge of the wilderness to the west.
A feeling of excitement about going home welled up inside me!
"Looks like nothing's changed here."

However, as they passed by Yaya Lake, the baby dragon suddenly stood up on his shoulder, made a face, and bared its teeth.

"Bea!"

It even jumped out immediately, spreading out its two little arms, looking like it wanted to glide all the way to YaYa Lake.

"Don't run around, baby dragon!"

While they were still flying high in the sky, Ash reacted quickly and grabbed the Bagon back with his other hand.

Of course, it's not a big problem if you don't catch it.

His baby dragon is no Muggle baby dragon; it has extremely strong gliding ability and can safely glide to the center of Tooth Lake.

However, the Dorombalto on the small island in the middle of Yaya Lake is not to be trifled with; if you parachute there, you're likely to be eliminated immediately upon landing.

"Did it sense that there was another quasi-god cub there, just like itself?"

Xiao Zhi blinked, and roughly guessed what was going on.

There are also a few adorable little dragons named Mesia in the middle of Yaya Lake.

At that time, the mother Doronbaluto even fought with a passing Tapu Koko, just to steal milk from her child.

"It's also a quasi-god cub, and it's a dragon-type."

Ash nodded to himself, thinking that he could send his Pokémon to visit that island sometime in the future.

Maybe we can get that dragon-type Balto to teach us some dragon-type flying techniques or fighting methods?
After all, that Galar pseudo-legendary was capable of putting up a fight against Tapu Koko.

Moreover, his precious dragon is rather wicked, and its future evolution will either be Dark or Ghost type. Dragapult should be able to teach him a lot.

He then looked to the northwest, where he could already see the outline of the watchtower.

The city walls were not very high; one could even vaguely see inside them.
At the same time, inside the watchtower castle.

"Luca!"

Lucario, who was knitting, suddenly perked up his ears, stood up, and looked up at the sky.

It sensed Ash's aura! (End of Chapter)
