He knows Pokémon better than me.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only one monkey in the training ground.

Countless green light spots converged on it, and its stamina was rapidly restored.

However, while jungle healing can restore physical strength, it cannot restore the greatly depleted energy and mental state.

“Saruru.”

Zarud was panting heavily, and he looked visibly much more haggard. His black fur seemed to have turned grayish-white.

Of course, his personality has also become noticeably more honest.

So why should I take on this challenge openly and honestly?

It has an evil nature, so it should ambush people at the door, attacking them one by one!
Ash stepped forward and asked:

"I already know the whereabouts of your people. Are you going to stay here and wait for me to bring them back directly, or are you coming with me?"

Of course, he already knew the answer before even asking the question.

"Saru!"

Sarud immediately raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to go along.

It would even politely raise its hand to answer.

If I really stayed here, wouldn't I be tempted to get overwhelmed by a bunch of dangerous guys around me?

Damn it, it's clearly a mythical beast, the biggest bully in the jungle!

"In that case, let's go together. But you have to promise me first that you'll do whatever I say."

“Saru”.

Sarud nodded obediently.

Physical correction is the most effective method, and in just half a day, it has already gained a new understanding of Xiao Zhi.

Having so many powerful Pokémon, this human could have easily used a Poké Ball to subdue him if he wanted to, but he never did.

It originally intended to say that Ash didn't know what he was talking about, but there were quite a few legendary and mythical Pokémon in the backyard.

Could it be that the captured Zarud really has no connection with the other party?
In short, you'll know when you get there.

Without further ado, Ash temporarily entrusted the castle matters to Mr. Mime.

I just got back from Zhanjing Town, and now I have to start all over again.

"Let's try to resolve this quickly before the advanced golf promotion tournament!"

Ash didn't bring them all; he only selected some of the Galar team's Pokémon. Then he walked to the main gate and nimbly climbed onto Corviknight's back.

This time, he wanted to finish the battle quickly, so he chose to use his flying technique to land at his destination.

He usually uses the Steelraven's claws as a "parachute," but since there's a second passenger today, the "parachute" spot is given to Zarude.

"Gah—!!"

Corviknight let out a high-pitched howl and took off into the sky, carrying Ash.

Just over a meter off the ground, Sarud skillfully grabbed the bird's claws and ankles, and was lifted into the air.

As a jungle bully, it used to own a "Steel Crow" paraglider, so it was very skilled at maneuvering.

Corviknight was carried by the two men on top and bottom as they flew northwest. After passing the Galar First Mine, their destination was almost there.

The distance wasn't far, and it didn't even take more than 15 minutes.

Looking down, Caolu Town remains a flat grassland, lush and green, dotted with some light yellow paths.

From an overhead view, you can even see the unique geoglyphs of Caolu Town.

From this perspective, the content of the geoglyph seems to be related to giants or calamities.

Having confirmed the location, Ash patted Corviknight's steel feathers, and the latter understood, tilting its wings and beginning to descend.

As he approached the Pokémon Center in Grassy Town, he could see a stylish and beautiful woman with orange hair and a ponytail waving at him from afar.

"Ash, over here~!!" It was Sonia, of course.

The Armored Raven recognized Sonia, slowed its wing flapping, and finally landed steadily in the open space in front of the door.

"Saru!"

Sarud was the first to land, and immediately ran towards Sonia, letting out a defiant growl at her.

The ferocious ape-like appearance instantly made Sonia's face tighten, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, her face turning pale.

Although Ash mentioned on the phone that Zarude was even more ferocious than he had imagined.

"Saru, Saru!"

Sarud raised his claws, his eyes fixed on Sonia, looking as if he might unleash his tearing claws at any moment.

"Wait a minute! She's someone who helped you find her, she's an ally!"

Ash realized what was happening and quickly stepped between the two to warn them.

Because he had said he was "coming to find the real culprit," Sarud assumed that Sonia was the target.

Upon hearing this, Sarud lowered his claws and concealed the fierce glint in his eyes.

"Phew, that scared me to death."

Sonia patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She stared at the fierce-looking black ape with lingering fear. Aren't mythical beasts usually cute and adorable?
It has to be Ash! If it were anyone else, this Zarude would probably have pounced on it already.

The two quickly began sharing information about Sord and Syldi.

After parting ways with Warring Town, Sonia not only organized the materials she had on "the true history of Galar," but also investigated the two upper-class nobles and their family businesses.

It certainly has a long history, and the noble status is probably not fake.

Then, she heard that someone in Caolu Town had seen two people directing seven or eight giant gorillas to migrate, just like herding cattle and sheep.

As for the destination, although it is also in Grass Road Town, it is located in a corner completely opposite to Grass Road Arena.

It looks like a ranch, but it never produces any agricultural products.

Moreover, it is common to see people constantly moving large exercise equipment inside, or to hear shouts of exhaustion from nearby.
However, due to Soder and his companion's use of the internet, these secrets did not spread online, but were only passed down by word of mouth among the locals.

"No wonder."

Xiao Zhi suddenly realized that everything he found online was nonsense.

The two people and the monkey soon arrived at a corner of the town, in an enclosed ranch, where a few woolly sheep could be seen scattered on the lawn outside.

After thinking about it, Ash also released Cinderace, perhaps because the latter knew information about this place.

"cowry"

However, after coming out, Flame Ace shook its head. Its training location was not in Grass Road Town, but in a gym in a big city.

Furthermore, it is a many-to-one relationship, and there is no batch training.

Flame Ace looked at the vast ranch before him and couldn't help but frown.

Clearly, after it escaped, the two people made the "breeding" process even more professional and streamlined.

As for whether we should disguise ourselves beforehand, just like we did during the undercover visit to the ice and snow aquarium.
"Salut, Salut!!"

Sarud directly roared to show his stance.

As long as its own kind is inside, it can still sense it even if it has been captured by humans and put into a Poké Ball.

Sarud's ferocious glint was revealed; if it finds the real poacher, don't blame its tearing claws—

Poaching is a heinous act.

Furthermore, he allowed himself to be relentlessly beaten by a group of people, which is the most unforgivable thing!! (End of Chapter)
