He knows Pokémon better than me.

To be honest, he's always felt that there's something strange about the myths and legends of the Galar region.

Before coming to the Galar region, he had already heard stories from Mash about the ancient gods who could use the "Beast Slash" and were legendary heroes who saved the world.

just
After arriving here, he had basically never heard of any Pokémon that could use Beast Slash.

In cities large and small, the figure on display is a human hero wielding a sword and shield.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a huge wolfhound-shaped statue.

At this point, Sonia's expression turned serious. Staring at the statue in the pit, she uttered a startling statement:
"Because the myths and legends of the Galar region may have been altered!"

"tamper?"

Xiao Zhi turned around in a daze, wondering if it was academic fraud like that of Dr. Blatano.
No, that's just a rumor and a fabrication!

Sonia nodded; she had only gradually come to this idea in the last two years.

From childhood, she heard a different version of the Galar myth from her grandmother, namely that two legendary Pokémon saved the Galar region in the past.

But now, the prevailing story in the Galar region is that a human hero saved the world?

Over the years, she has visited various places, including the giant geoglyphs in Caolu Town, the murals in Suchuan Town, and the ancient ruins near Zhanjing Town. It seems that there are two completely different mythological accounts in each of them?
One of them seems to have been added later.

However, these studies lack conclusive evidence, and the Galar League places more emphasis on Pokémon battles and shows little interest in these studies.

Therefore, her thesis has never caused much of a stir.

"However, things are different now!"

Sonia looked at the rubble pit in front of her, her eyes shining.

This is the first time I've ever discovered such a huge and well-preserved statue of a legendary Galarian Pokémon!
"And there's been a new discovery this time!"

Sonia took out her phone and Rotom took a series of photos to record the scene. Behind the two sword-and-shield wolfhounds, there were two humanoid statues.

They all wore crowns on their heads and magnificent robes, looking like kings, completely different from the previous brave heroes!

"Perhaps in the past, it was human rulers who worked alongside these two Pokémon to save the Galar region?"

Sonia boldly guessed.

She picked up the rubble from the collapsed mural on the ground. Its color and texture seemed completely different from the rocks inside, as if someone had built a wall later to completely hide the statues inside.

"Therefore, I suspect that someone is hiding this true history behind the scenes, or even distorting it!"

Sonia began, saying that she always had this strange feeling when she was conducting research in various places.

The sudden collapse of the mural has undoubtedly confirmed her view!
"I see."

Xiao Zhi nodded. If someone really did tamper with history, then that would make sense.

An elderly man like Ma Shide would likely be more accurate in his assessment.

"Hey! I think I heard someone talking nonsense!"

"How dare you question the history of our esteemed class?!"

At that moment, two low growls of dissatisfaction came from behind.

His tone was elegant, yet it carried a distinctly arrogant and disdainful air.

Ash and Sonia turned around and saw two men in suits walking towards them.

The man on the left was thinner, wearing a blue suit, and his light blond hair stood up like a thick sword.

The man on the right was more muscular, wearing a dark red suit, and had the same hair color, but his hair was spread out flat to the sides, a very strange hairstyle.

"Watch your words! How dare you question such great history!" "Are you lowly people already abandoning the contributions of ancient heroes to the Galar region? You are truly ungrateful wretches!"

The two glared at Sonia, but she wasn't intimidated. Instead, she stepped forward and said defiantly:
"I am a research PhD, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with me stating my conjecture based on facts!"

The man in the red and blue suit made no attempt to hide his disdain.

"Professor Pokémon?"

"Then we'll have to complain to the Galar Alliance. Has the threshold for becoming a Doctor become so low now?"

These words immediately angered Sonia, who raised her eyebrows in fury. How dare these two strange-looking people question her!
Ash quickly stepped in front of Sonia, looking at the two people in front of him:
"Wait a minute. Who are you two?"

The man in the red and blue suit immediately adopted a polite and elegant posture, bowing slightly, but his face still showed a look of disdain.

"I am Hildi, a descendant of the ancient hero who saved the Galar region!"

"My name is Sord! We are the true nobles of the Galar region!"

Upon hearing this, Sonia realized what was happening and blurted out:

"The two brothers from the Hisoka Company?"

"Xisso Corporation?"

Xiao Zhi blinked. He vaguely remembered it.

Before the Watchtower Castle was renovated, he had visited the renovation companies in Mech City, the largest of which was Hiso Company.

It features an aristocratic decor and is extremely expensive.

In the Galar region, besides Chairman Loz's Marocmon Group, the second-ranked company is the Hiso Company, which is also involved in multiple industries. Of course, the gap between these two companies is much greater than that between the first and second ranked companies.

"Wait a minute, you claim to be descendants of ancient heroes?"

Upon hearing the key words, Sonia looked the two of them up and down.

The two people in front of us are the ones who won't distort history, right?
"impossible"

Sonia quickly shook her head. These fabricated and false histories had been circulating for at least several hundred years and were irrelevant to modern people.

Of course, maintaining and continuing to spread these false histories is something modern people can do!

As for the motive
Isn't it obvious?
There are no nobles in the Galar region anymore, but if one claims to be a descendant of ancient heroes to highlight their status, that's a different story.

They noticed Sonia's suspicious look, but that wasn't their focus.

"Tsk, the wall actually collapsed?"

"Who destroyed it?"

The two glanced at the collapsed rock ruins and began to talk.

A few days ago they received news that an old woman was directing a bronze statue to destroy the rock face.
But as soon as one corner was damaged, it was taken away by another old lady.

It seems that the entire rock wall collapsed because of the crack that was damaged that day?
"Hmph! That's why I dislike old people; they have no manners whatsoever!"

"They have absolutely no classy manners!"

The two cursed under their breath for a while, then decided they had to quickly find someone to rebuild the rock face.

They then leaped over Sonia, suddenly fixing their gaze on Ash, and questioned him:

"It was you, wasn't it? You stole our Pokémon!" (End of Chapter)
