Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 625 Don't underestimate me just because I'm a sheep, Mary: Pokémon battles can only be played by one person!

Sord and Syldi, of course, did not understand what Lightmoss meant by "capture".

In fact, it's easier to understand with the terms "manipulation" or "control," since ultimately, a Pokémon caught in a Poké Ball cannot be caught by anyone else. But then again...
Aside from certain Poké Balls that have special catching effects, ordinary Poké Balls simply provide a comfortable place for Pokémon to rest. They are equipped with some very high-tech devices. If you ignore those, they are just glasses cases!

Sord: "People who steal other people's things are thieves. Isn't that what people often say when they're using Poké Balls to catch other people's Pokémon?"

Hilde: "Um, but, brother, that would make us look like thieves! But we're celebrities! Speaking of controlling other people's Pokémon, as long as it's done by force, it doesn't count as theft!"

These two were so abstract that Mary, who wasn't known for her witty remarks, immediately started criticizing them:

Mary: "What the hell? Are those two doing a stand-up comedy routine?!"

"But what does 'capture' really mean?"

Hep couldn't hold back any longer: "You're playing the straight man too! Stop criticizing! But it's true, the Woolstätter can't be captured again!"

"Catching isn't about using Poké Balls, it's an academic term!" Lightmoy chuckled. "A long time ago, there were three children who made a vow under a stone statue."

"The boy with glasses founded the greatest school."

"The girl who tied her hair up became the leader of that organization."

"The impatient boy in white created a device that allows humans and Pokémon to communicate."

"They heard about the birth of the Pokémon League, and a dream arose in them to create an organization dedicated to protecting humanity, nature, and Pokémon themselves. Thus, the dreams of these three individuals merged, and beneath the [Oath-Swearing Stone], what was born was—"

"Pokémon Ranger!"

The hunting glider shot out at the speed of light, accompanied by a strange hissing sound. The crackling of electricity made the glider trace a lightning bolt-shaped line. Hisoka and his companion were astonished to see the flying top, though they didn't know what it was.
"Bronze Bell, use the noble [Supernatural Power]!"

The Hisoka duo uses Golisopod and Bronze Bell. The older brother, Sodo, who is good at offense and has a blue shirt with a sword-like hairstyle, uses Golisopod. The younger brother, Hilde, who is good at defense and has a red shirt with a shield-like hairstyle, uses Bronze Bell.

Of course, their team also includes Farfetch'd, Arrayed, Gearman, Dual-Sheathed, and Slashing Commander. At first glance, they might seem like experts in steel and melee attributes, but that's not actually the case.

The bronze bell emitted a buzzing sound, gathering superpowers as it blasted towards the hunting buoy!

A powerful superpower attack that can blow everything away!

"Hehehe! Loto!"

The hunting sleigh dodged the superpower attack at an odd angle, and Rotom, hidden inside the hunting sleigh, let out a strange laugh!
Although it usually just acts as an electric oven or refrigerator, or develops software on the internet, or sneaks into Pokémon devices or other machines to take a nap, it occasionally appears as an AI in the hunting cursor!

Once Rotom and the hunting sniper are combined.
So it's AI drawing!

The hunting line cannot be broken; it will be fully engaged no matter what!

"Fuck!"

The bronze bell's movements suddenly stopped!
Syldi was taken aback: "The bronze bell, what's wrong?!"

Light Moss: "[Electromagnetic Waves]".

"Although the bronze bell is said to be a god capable of summoning rain clouds, and intimidates opponents with a chilling sound like a bell when angry, the Steel/Psychic type is not immune to Electric-type status moves. Why a bronze bell could be paralyzed remains a mystery."

"However, although I love the bronze bell very much, I feel it would be a great pity if you used it. Of course, as long as the bronze bell itself doesn't mind."

"Misfortunes never come singly!"

Steel/Psychic type Pokémon has very few weaknesses, and Bronzong also has two useful abilities, Levitate and Heat Resistance. This has led to it being considered a nuisance in the competitive arena, because you have to play rock-paper-scissors with Bronzong to see which ability it has.

Before Generation V, Steel-type Pokémon was also immune to Dark and Ghost types, which meant Bronco only had two weaknesses! And its ability made it immune to one of them. Although it was also a Steel/Psychic Pokémon, it was a completely different type from Metagross!

However, this is not the fifth generation!
"If it were the G1 generation, the superpower attribute would also make them immune to ghost attacks, but that kind of thing can only be done by wielding the golden spear I made."

After all, it was forged using the technology of the [Sacred Stakes]. Let alone the G1 generation, that would be a direct regression to the -G10 era.

You're using attribute advantages from a thousand years in the future to fight something from a thousand years ago?

Times have changed back, sir!
Rotom's ghost-type attack is coming!
Sonia: "[Misfortunes never come singly]! Attacks come one after another, inflicting massive damage on opponents who are in a state of abnormality!"

"This move, used after paralyzing the bronze bell, is extremely effective!"

It floats and is immune to ground, and is heat-resistant and fire-resistant, but it can take full damage from ghost and dark-type attacks!

The bronze bell fell to the ground with a thud, losing its ability to fight!
Hop: "What is that thing? It's plasma in electricity. Is it a ghost? Or a Pokémon?"

Mary: "No, that thing, it should be a Pokémon, right?"

Since the Rotom Pokédex had not yet been invented by Clemont, the event of "Rotoms burrowing into electrical appliances and breeding on a large scale" had not yet occurred. Therefore, people at this time were still using Pokémon devices, and the idea of ​​Rotoms being able to control AI and electronic products was completely unheard of!
This year's academic summit hasn't been held yet, and information about Rotom is only known to doctoral students in a few regions through their own sources!
Lightmoss: "In the Sinnoh region of the past, a boy discovered a mysterious ghost Pokémon that could enter electrical appliances. He named this Pokémon Rotom! That is, [Motor]!"

"Entering different electrical appliances will grant you different abilities, and you can even switch your own attributes. In the future, you may even be able to enter products such as the Pokédex, Pokémon devices, mobile phones, and computers."

"This part will be announced this year!"

However, with the advent of the Rotom Phone, the Pokémon Device virtually disappeared from the Pokémon world within just two or three years.

Electronic products don't hold their value well.

As for the Porygon phone, it can only be found in the Pasio region of another world. Rotom is basically a superior replacement for Porygon, and it's a character that excels in both battles and casual gameplay.

"Don't be shocked, the hunt is over!"

Lightmoy's words made Sord and Syldi, who hadn't yet reacted, suddenly look at the woolly sheep.

The white halo merged into the Woolbraid's body, and the golden spiral that originally symbolized mind control was deactivated!

Syldi: "How could this happen? The experiment was supposed to be successful, wasn't it? The remote control has been hacked!"

Sord: "What the hell? Blackhall said this thing wouldn't be easily... Oh well, that Wooloo doesn't have any power anyway. Such a weak Pokémon is unbecoming of royalty!"

"Bisharp Commander! Go and shred that spinning top! And take down that ghost Pokémon too!"

Sord dispatched his official battle team, including Bisharp, a powerful Pokémon known as "Steel Soldier" and used by top players in many regions!
Lightmoss: "Bisharp Commander, this looks familiar. The Elite Four and the Champions all use this kind of Pokémon."

"However, do you possess the power to match it?"

Sord's cleaving commander's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the blades on his arms suddenly gleamed with a sharp, cold aura!

"[Ambush on vital points!]!"

Although the move is called "Dark Strike at the Vital Points," it actually attacks head-on. Of course, even a direct blade strike involves skill and dark combat techniques, since this move was originally called "Street Knife Test"!

The so-called "testing the sword" was an act of killing someone in the streets at night by ancient warriors! By suddenly drawing their swords and attacking innocent passersby, they had a higher chance of hitting vital organs.

"Meow?! Meow!"

Although captured by the Lightmoss using its hunting sleigh, the Woolstuck had broken free from mind control. It glanced at Hop, but before it could even rejoice with its partner, the impending danger forced it to face the situation with tension!
I am just a sheep!
However, seeing the Commander Splitter attack the Beyblade, Woolstaff still leaped into the air!
Hmm, cotton, expand!
"Now!" Guangtai clapped her hands, threw a capsule into the Woolbraided sheep's mouth, and then instantly took out three ancient bracelets and slashed them across the sheep's body!
Move learner swapped x3!

Before the Woolstätten could even react, it immediately heard the command:
"【Cotton Defense】!"

Although it was the first time the command had been heard, Woolstaff already had the idea of ​​how to use the move in its mind. A buffalo with an bloated head was panting heavily and had used that move. This image was thus imprinted deep in Woolstaff's mind.

Like a biological instinct, it imitated the buffalo and performed the same moves.

I'm very good at imitating; I used to often imitate Leon's Charizard! I can imitate it very well!
The wool on the Woolblade puffed up with a bang, and the Commander's blade struck the cotton.
No harm done!

"How is this possible! My noble Commander of the Cleavers has been blocked by a useless little lamb!"

Sord couldn't accept what he was seeing. The fact was that the little lamb that could be seen running away everywhere had actually blocked the attack of the Slashing Commander!

"If it were ordinary cotton for defense, it probably wouldn't be able to stop it."

Lightmoss spread his hands and said to the dumbfounded Hop, "See? This is the true strength of your partner."

"Even if it's not Charizard, it's still very strong. The move you just used was a special technique that Unova Champion Alder's Buffalo with an afro once used in front of me."

"Cotton Guard, a move that only a select few Pokémon can use, can drastically boost physical defense! It raises physical defense by three levels at once!"

Even a character with only 55 physical defense will see their defense spike to 137 after using this move!

Of course, if Wooloo doesn't evolve, it can learn the move on its own at level 36. However, if it evolves into Wooloo, the level at which it learns the move will actually increase to 44, which is actually disadvantageous.

Among Pokémon that can learn this move on their own, the most valuable are Whimsicott, known as "Black Heart Cotton," and Altaria, the traitor of the Dragon Clan.

As for the afro-haired buffalo, it needs to be inherited from another type of sheep, the Mare. However, the town of Suiki in Unova is right next to Suiki Ranch, so it's perfectly normal for the local afro-haired buffalo to have this feature.

Hop stared in disbelief: "Woolpis is so strong! But what is that bracelet? No, even if Cotton has such strong defense, how could Woolpis block a move I've never heard of before?"

Of course, I've never heard of that before, because the only one who knows how to use this move is the unassuming Grass-type Gym Leader, Alo. And Alo's Pompom can only learn this move at a high level of 52. In terms of Alo's team, he actually uses Floom, not Pompom, to hold the line. The reason why people always get the impression that he uses Pompom is because...
He's going to go easy on the gym challengers.

Mary, however, realized the key point: "What else did Mr. Guangtai do? What was that capsule?"

"【Ability Capsule】." Lightmoy waved her finger, while also looking at the exasperated Hisoka duo: "The Pokémon that eats this capsule will switch between its first and second abilities."

"In other words, your Wooloo's original trait was [Run Away], but now it's [Fluffy]!"

"This characteristic halves the damage from contact attacks, but doubles the damage from fire-type attacks. However, this weakness can be mitigated by equipping a Fire Resistance Berry."

"Therefore, after eliminating the weakness to fire and reducing the power of contact attacks, even fighting-type moves that are effective against it will not be able to deal much damage!"

Lightmoss: "Even with a 3-level increase in physical defense, the power of Dark Strike will be reduced to 40. Let's evolve a bit higher before trying again!"

While this statement doesn't quite apply to powerful Pokémon like Bisharp, which already gained fame in Generation 5, the Hisoka duo's Pokémon were only level 60 during the Sword and Shield era.

Although this is already very strong, we must consider that they are characters who appear in the second playthrough. Among the characters in the second playthrough who use their full strength, they actually belong to the bottom tier.

Now, you'd be lucky to reach level 40, but Hop's Woolstaff isn't particularly strong anyway.

Lightmoy: "However, it seems that Woolbraided Sheep is also having a hard time persisting. The gap in strength is still insurmountable. That's a fact."

The Woolstaff sniffed:
"Meow (It doesn't hurt much, it's alright!)"

Sord was furious: "You're insulting celebrities and descendants of ancient royalty! A mere Wooloo, a common Pokémon that can be found everywhere, actually managed to block the noble [Dark Strike Weakness]!"

"It's already impossible to withstand an attack without being defeated! How can a Pokémon's ability be changed on the spot?"

Hildi: "You...you're no ordinary person. I've never heard of you before in Galar!"

Lightmoy: "After all, I'm not from Galar, just a tourist from out of town."

Surprisingly, President Rose didn't tell these two about his own affairs.

I really have to thank him!
The president is still a good person after all.

Hisoka and his companion exchanged a glance.

Damn it, I got tricked by Loz. There's no way Loz wouldn't know about such a capable outsider. Right!

"Isn't this the guy... I heard that Loz met with some tourist at the hotel?"

"There's no doubt about it, this is the one!"

Although Hikari didn't reveal anything about the chairman, Hisoka and his partner already had a grudge against him, and their cooperation was only temporary. They looked down on the chairman, this nouveau riche, so they immediately deduced that the chairman, who always liked to keep something in reserve, must have some trump card up his sleeve!
I initially thought the trump card might be the Pill Emperor, but now it seems it belongs to someone else entirely! That makes sense, the era of the Pill Emperor is over!

At least it's over now!
"Damn it, Commander Slash! Use [Sword Dance]! Let them taste its power!"

"Brother, I'm here to gather the Dynamax Pokémon in the forest and let them wreak havoc!"

The two brothers began to demonstrate their combined fighting style, embodying the spirit of "brothers fighting side by side, how can one general stand against another?" However, Guangtai thought that while these two were only decent in a one-on-one fight, their strength as a doubles unit was truly formidable.
Do you remember the future Galar All-Star Game?

If these two team up separately from the other characters, they can advance to the second or even third round.

But what if Hisoka and his buddy got together?

So they will inevitably lose in the first round; it's a case of two bad guys meeting another bad guy.

Lightmoss: "The Dark Crystal made them cooperate a little, but..."

"Woolbraided Sheep, [Defense Tie]!"

"Meow."

[Defense tied]!
The smooth combo can be learned by yourself at level 12. Although Hop's sheep was only level 5 when it appeared in the game, it has been raised for so many years.
I just used up some experience from the Bronze Bell and leveled up!
"Slice!"

The commander's body suddenly froze!
The defensive capabilities have been diverted!
Sord was filled with revulsion: "Commander, what's wrong with you? It's just a sheep!"

Syldi gritted his teeth: "What can a woof sheep do? Damn it, what methods did they use?"

Guangtai chuckled: "Woolstaff can do a lot of things. For example, [using its psychic powers to add its own and its opponent's Defense and Special Defense together, and then amicably split the points]!"

"This move doesn't take into account changes in defensive capabilities, but rather changes the defensive race."

"Even if I explained, you wouldn't understand. This is all there is to being a so-called celebrity."

Woolstice has a Defense stat of 55 and a Special Defense stat of 45.

The Slashing Commander has a defense of 100 and a special defense of 70.

Of course, the actual defensive stat distribution is calculated based on actual ability values, which is the final result of base stats + individual values ​​+ effort values. No one can say for sure, but it's quite clear—

The weaker the woolly sheep, the stronger the woolly sheep.

The stronger the Cleave Commander, the weaker the Cleave Commander!
"Strong is weak, and weak is strong!"

Based solely on base stats, Wooloo's defense is increased by a whopping 22.5!

In terms of special defense, Slash Commander's defense will decrease, while Wooloo's defense will increase!
Sord: "Defense decreased?! Nothing changed! What is this thing?! Stop joking! [Spirit Strike]!"

Lightmoy: "It's not over yet, Woolstaff, use [Defense Swap] on Martial Arts Bear Master!"

It looks similar to defending and splitting the score, but they are actually different.

The defenses switch.

Use your superpowers to swap the defensive and special defense abilities of yourself and your opponent!

Of course, its target doesn't have to be an enemy; it can be any Pokémon on the field that it can attack, excluding itself!

Wooloo recalled a move and formed an image in its mind. It was a humanoid Pokémon that was hard to describe, with powerful psychic abilities. Just looking at it seemed to ignite its own power.

The name of that Pokémon is—

Call its name out loud!
Mew-two!

Superpowers, super strength!

Superpowers have emerged from Wooloo!

The blade that cleaved the commander unleashed a sharp storm of rocks, crashing down upon him!

But one after another, explosions occurred on a solid and robust back!
The rocks gradually crumbled and turned to dust, but the towering body remained unmoved, and its power continued to rise.

Commander Pi Zhan stared in astonishment at the figure that had appeared before him.
What is this thing?!

It was shocked and thought about it, but it couldn't figure it out or reach a conclusion, because it had never seen a Pokémon like this before! "Moo!"

The martial arts master's eyes glowed blue, and his aura surged!
Woolbraided Sheep used [Defense Swap] against Martial Arts Bear Master: Combo Style (Water Bear)!
The Martial Arts Bear Master's defense has been greatly enhanced!

The tardigrade patted the woolly sheep and gave it a thumbs up.

Thank you, little lamb!

Sheep can do amazing things too! Can't they?
"Baa! Baa!"

This made the Woolstice sheep look on with longing.

Wow, that's amazing!
Lightmoss: "With defense boosted to level three, the sharp stone attack barely scratches me, and it even triggers [Rage]!"

"Physical attack power has increased!"

Lightning flashed in the eyes of the Martial Arts Bear Master. It turned its head sharply and grabbed the arm of the Commander of Slash!

[His entire body is covered in sharp blades, except for his forearms!]

[What kind of attack is this? The more I get hit, the stronger I become!]

Seeing the Water Bear's aura surge and its power tighten around itself, Commander Slash's expression turned to terror, and it raised its blade once more!
[Split]!
He slashed the martial arts master Xiong's body with a single blow!
Commander Pi Zhan was sweating profusely.

It should have some effect, right? This is a skill that can hit vital points.
This is a blade attack! And it's an attack launched from a steel blade. Even if it's not a steel-elemental move, it should at least be...
Martial Arts Bear Master's physical attack has increased by 2!
Martial Arts Bear Master - Combo Style: [I'm really angry!]

Seeing the water bear's abilities increase once again, Commander Pi Zhan's pupils trembled violently!
[Monster! You monster!]

The attack had no effect; it couldn't cut or slash the opponent. It was made of flesh and blood. Could it be that the opponent wasn't a Pokémon made of flesh and blood?

Water Bear: [How could a mere steel blade possibly defeat my well-trained body!]

This is true.

Its base physical defense is at least 100! After +3, it has 250 defense, making it even tougher than a Mega Steelix!
Seriously, I've been looked down upon!

Boom!
The martial arts bear master's fist, bursting with blue light and boosted by a +1 physical attack, slammed into the face of the cleaving commander!
This is a burst of explosive power!
The tough, helmet-like steel mask was blasted with a deep fist mark, and the blade on the head shattered instantly!

It flew out with a roar in a spiral!
Upon seeing the Martial Arts Bear Master's attack, Sord shouted excitedly, "Idiot! You actually attacked with your fist! Commander Cleave is covered in sharp and noble blades!"

But the next moment his expression changed drastically. As the Commander of Slash flew past him and crashed into the ground, creating cracks, Sord's expression froze, and he turned around in disbelief:

"Chop, chop off the commander?!"

"Crack!" The once fierce-looking Commander Crack had lost his focus and fighting ability, and his helmet was almost completely cracked.

Lightmoss: "Once the blade on the head is damaged, I will retire from the position of leader."

"What a pity. Having lost the [Leadership Certificate], I can only become a whetstone for the evolution of other members of my race."

A Slashing Commander with a 4x weakness to Fighting, if hit by a STAB Burst Punch with +2 Attack, is truly a monster you can't survive even with 100,000 lives.

After all, Hisoka and his duo don't have the same skills as the Dark Trio, who can accurately use Protect to block Lucario's Aura Sphere, and escape unscathed from the pursuit of the two main characters from Black and White.

If it can't be stopped, it will be fatal!

"It's alright, Bronze Bell has regained its strength. Use [Hypnosis]—" Hilde wanted to provide support, so he used Vitality Shard on his Bronze Bell and even planned to release other Pokémon, but he found that Steel Bell, which had just regained its strength, was not moving at all!
"What's wrong, the bronze bell?!" Sirdi suddenly looked ahead.

The inconspicuous Pokémon, which looked like a hamster, was waving its paws.

He slapped the bronze bell.

Mary made a "come on, come on" gesture, her expression indifferent, as if looking at trash:

"【High-Five Surprise Attack】."

"The bronze bell flinched."

"Then."

"【provocative】!"

"This isn't one against two, it's four against two, isn't it?"

Mary clapped her hands and took a deep breath: "We can't lose face in the land where heroes rest. The true essence of Pokémon battles is that although two people can fight, only one person has the right to make a move."

"Here's another enhancement for you: [Bluff]!"

Mary immediately unleashed a three-part attack, plunging the Bronze Bell into a state of "Change Lockdown" and "Chaos"!
Only I can play Pokémon!

Cai Dou waved her hand, and another martial arts bear master descended from the sky and grabbed the bronze bell!
An aura of evil is rising violently!
Syldi: "There's one more!"

The bear warrior, exuding an aura of evil, controlled the terrified bronze bell.

But even so, no one could tell whether Yizhong was panicking.

Let's just assume it's scared!
"Ah!" the evil bear cried out to dispel the evil spirits!
"【Dark Nether Strike】!"

Since Bea got the Martial Arts Ursaring, she has basically stuck to this move and never let go. But it has to be said that the penetration power of the Dark type is indeed very high. Many types have no resistance to it. Only Fighting-Fairy and Dark-type STAB moves can withstand it!
The bear delivered a powerful punch, knocking the steel bell to the ground, where it was truly unable to rise again!
"What's going on? What's going on?! How could you be locked down by a little girl like this?! Twin Sheaths! Use Shadow Claw!" Hilde quickly sent out a second Pokémon. Twin Sheaths could absorb other people's energy, a Pokémon that Lightmoss was very familiar with.

However, the boys and girls planned to show off their skills.

Mary: "It's so noisy using the word 'praise'."

Praise your opponent to confuse them. This will also boost their special attack!

Morpeko let out a false compliment, "Wow, you're amazing!", but her twin sword sheaths were suddenly struck, her eyes began to dart around, and her consciousness flew to the ends of the earth!

Morubek tilted his head, and Mary did the same, suddenly waving her hand!

"It's not over yet. [Fraud]!"

Attack using the opponent's strength. The higher the opponent's attack power, the greater the damage!
The two sword sheaths were knocked away!
Sord: "Ugh, what kind of moves does that little girl have?! I can't even get a move out! How can there be such a trainer!"

Even Hisoka and his partner were shocked, having never seen such a wicked trainer!
"That girl has such a bad temper!"

Is Pokémon battle really this cruel? It's anything but glamorous!
The next moment, the bear leaped again, accompanied by Rainbow Bean's voice.

Dark Strike replaces thought!
Just fight!
Bea: "These are all Pokémon that are weak to Dark type!"

The bear defeated the Twin Swords Sheaths with a single punch. Even if its physical defense is incredibly high, it's useless. If one punch isn't enough, it'll just throw another. Anyway, you can't possibly be holding an Evolution Stone!
However, at this moment, a Dynamaxed Pokémon suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Galar Particles began to unleash their power in conjunction with remote control!

It looks like a Gigantamax Mudfish Galar!
"South of the smoke sphere deep inside, there's a Mudfish Galer disguised as a trap—that level 48 Mudfish that's always there!"

Guangtai immediately recognized what this mudfish was up to!

They came from hunting!

However, this is just how these Pokémon are; they'll try to grab people when they see them.

Because the design prototype of the Galarian form of the Mudfish is a bear trap, and it lives in iron-rich mud, it has acquired a sturdy and strong steel body!
It respawns infinitely in the Sleepy Forest, which also carries a certain meaning—

【iron】!
Iron left behind by a mysterious Pokémon forging once existed here!

The two water-evil bears leaped forward!

Ayaka: "Darkness—"

Moss: "Water flow—"

"Powerful Strike Combo!"

Boom! The powerful explosion caused by the slamming of the two fists struck the giant Pokémon that had suddenly appeared head-on!
The powerful impact sent the Pokémon directly into the [Max Explosion] phase!

Two fists combined, one strike kills!

However, taking advantage of the blast and smoke, Hisoka and his companion hastily retreated, abandoning their usual gentlemanly demeanor, but their anger was burning fiercely.
"It's done! It's a success! Hahaha, the Dynamaxed Pokémon are under control!"

"Galarian particles have been injected. All Pokémon in the entire Silent Forest will be remotely controlled and then Dynamax!"

The two laughed heartily, while Saiboli, who was hiding deep in the forest, witnessed this scene. This comedic junior brother had never participated in the battle before. After all, although he had a strong desire for revenge after seeing Cai Dou, it was not a wise move to fight now.

Moreover, due to his extremely strong self-esteem and his unfortunate reality, the only part of Saiboli affected by the Dark Crystal was that his personality became arrogant.

Even after being beaten up once, someone who's going to back down will still back down.

"Saibaoli!"

With a comedic character appearing here, Hikari also knows what's going on with Saiboli.

Like this gym leader who was expected to achieve great things, he was ridiculed by his relatives because of his low innate psychic abilities. Even so, he still served as the second-ranked gym leader for a period of time. Although he was later dismissed and rebuilt on the Isle of Armor, it is still clear that he was working hard.

It's perfectly normal for such people to be easily misled.

After all, she's not like Clara who doesn't care about anything and only becomes a gym leader to be popular. If she weren't a DLC character, Clara shouldn't be able to appear in the All-Star tournament.

But the funny senior brother seems to be just acting as a tour guide, so it's not a big problem.

"Discovered!"

Saiboli was sweating profusely. So far, he hadn't done anything. He had only helped Hisoka and his partner with navigation and teleportation. In short, he was their means of transportation and their navigator!

"Quickly, Mr. Saiboli, take us away!"

"We are heading to the snowy wilderness of the south to complete our great cause of revival!"

The experiment in the Forest of Slumber is complete, the sword and shield have been obtained, the false king has been expelled, and only one thing remains.

"[Summon the darkness in the snowy plains, let us relive the heroic tales!]"

The Dark Night's true form had already flown towards the snowfield, and they naturally had to follow. Not only that, they also had to bring the other royal family members along!

The other members of the royal family have already gone to the snowfield. They will surely witness something incredible and then broadcast it to the world!
"Don't treat me like a tool! If you do, all my superpowers will be useless!"

Sometimes I also want to use superpowers like other superhumans.

Yes, yes, just like that young man across from me, about the same age, raising his hand, that starting stance.
Starting stance!

"Mr. Hisoka, get down right now!"

What? Mr. Hisoka? The Hisoka duo hadn't reacted yet, but they were quickly angered by Saiboli's rudeness, though they hadn't even had a chance to lash out.
A powerful surge of superpowers suddenly blasted over!
"It's [Supernatural Power]!"

"The other side has a superpowered person!"

Saibaoli quickly knocked the two down with his telekinesis, and his supernatural power pierced through the big tree behind them. The comedic junior brother was terrified and immediately ran away with the sword and shield duo!
However, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck out, causing a violent explosion on the ground!

Mary: "Tch, the thunder didn't even hit me. It was teleportation!"

Before the two Hisoka disappeared, their faces were filled with terror.

If this is the kind of power
A power that is in no way inferior to the champion
How to fight?
So terrifying.
So that's why our ancestors commanded those two Sword and Shield Pokémon!

To restore glory, we cannot expel them. Instead, we must control them first, and then rebuild once again.
We will be back!
The three auras vanished without a trace in the Sleeping Forest. After the storm subsided, Lightmoss glanced at the spot where the three had disappeared.

Instant teleportation
Lightmoss: "Instant teleportation. Some people can teleport a great distance, while others can only move a little bit. Ultimately, there are differences in skill level among superpowered individuals. My specialty is direct attacks."

"They got away!" Cai Dou saw the three people disappear. Last time, she watched helplessly as they escaped.

Can you learn instant teleportation on the spot?
She couldn't help but think this with annoyance.

Then the voice of the moss was heard:
"The Sword and Shield Heroes are no longer here. They just said they're going to the snowfield. Isn't that perfect? ​​It looks like something extraordinary is about to happen."

"Summoning Dark Night in the snowfield? This is an event that's not part of the original plan."

"Look over there."

After defeating the Dynamax Pokémon that had suddenly appeared and blocked their way, the group arrived deep within the Slumbering Forest.

The ruins, which were originally a memorial to King Arthur, have been destroyed, and the two stones on the mirror-like lake that represented the gates of Avalon are also gone.

"Stone ruins! All destroyed!"

Sonia had been deep in the forest before, and although she didn't understand what the ruins were, she had been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of them, including the two large rocks in the misty lake.

"Ahhh... The cultural heritage of Hualang Town has been completely destroyed!"

"Were those two fighting here?! How could this happen?! Even the Lake of Immortality is destroyed!"

Sonia suddenly grabbed her head!
Although she doesn’t have any fond memories of this forest, it’s still an ancient cultural site, and you could write a hundred or so academic papers about it!

We came here to investigate, but the site has been destroyed. What are we going to do?

"The rotten sword and shield were taken away too, weren't they?" Mary walked over, looking at Sonia's helpless and annoyed expression, her expression very complicated:

"The rotten sword and shield that those two just pulled out, are those the legendary heroes' weapons? They really are unremarkable in appearance, just like their names."

"I couldn't become a hero, and I couldn't even meet those two Pokémon. What a pity. They've gone to... the Crown Tundra."

Aya looked regretfully at the ruins:
"Three thousand years have passed, and the legendary metal has rotted away. Does this mean that even heroes can no longer adapt to the times?"

Hep, holding the Woolstuck sheep, was the only one confused about the situation: "Eh, a sword and a shield? What's that?"

The legends of the strong were lost long ago in Hualang Town and can only be found in foreign documents, so no one remembers them.

However, Hep didn't care; he didn't understand, so he praised the Woolstrap:

"But you were really strong just now, Woolstaff!"

"Baa!" The Woolstaff sheep was also very happy!
It's happy as long as Hop is happy! Even if it's not a fire-breathing dragon, it can still be itself!

I also have the amazing ability to do it!

See, Hop? I am who I am, even as a sheep, I have the strength of a sheep!

Lightmoss: "Although it is a decaying sword and shield, it can still provide power to heroes even in its decay because it was made of a special metal."

"However, it seems the heroes of Sword and Shield haven't found the right person to wield the weapon yet. The one injected with Galerium particles lost control and escaped."

"Not to mention, there are also Dynamax Pokémon appearing remotely outside of the energy point, which is truly rare. This is because it's an artificially induced phenomenon."

"Then let's finish this quickly." Lightmoss opened the Poké Ball, and a giant Aegislash appeared!

The Shielded Swordsman was already itching for a fight and was ready for a unique killing, especially in a place like the Slumbering Forest in Galar.

So, this is it! Avalon!

Wow, you can cosplay as the Sword in the Stone here!

A reassuring and ideal place.
