Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 631 Zacian: You, are you my sword and scabbard?
The crimson power unleashed by the darkness mingled with the pure white light of ice and snow, intertwining and swirling. Dark clouds rose from the snowfields, spreading towards Galar's homeland. The black clouds activated numerous energy points, including the colossal nest buried by the ancient watchtower outside Hammerlocke City, which had long since collapsed.

The footage captured by the ancient royal family, this "live broadcast," was clearly transmitted to the Galar homeland. People watched the declarations of those celebrities and royalty on television in bewilderment, and also saw the devastating disaster that was taking place on the snowfield.

The fierce battles between humans and Pokémon, legendary heroes and kings, and the Great Red Dragon and the Legendary Wings, and more importantly, those calamities did not only occur in the remote snowy wilderness. They also occurred in the Galar homeland, where they felt the pain as well!

"Gigantic Pokémon are causing chaos around the town!"

"The Corviknights have either escaped, grown larger, or are too afraid to come out. The legend of Galilee losing its Corviknights has come true!"

"Run! Seek refuge somewhere without energy points!"

On this day, the people of Galar finally remembered the fear of being harassed and dominated by gigantic Pokémon.

Before the invention of controllable Dynamax, there were occasional instances of giant Pokémon causing trouble.

In the official Sword and Shield storyline, the experiments initiated by Chairman Rose caused wild Pokémon to grow to gigantic size. Immediately afterwards, Leon said that players should just focus on battling the gyms, and he would solve the problem and experience the story on the players' behalf.

Even now, such things still happen occasionally when Dynamax can be manipulated.

In this dangerous situation, people recalled the spell that D'Antoni had shouted during the match.

If you are filled with fear, then shout that ancient incantation!

Batnagi, Batnagi!
The gathered prayers will become a shining path. People flee their homes and cities, moving to areas without Dynamax Power Points. Desolate towns that had lost their vitality due to Dynamax, such as Spiketown, suddenly become the first choice for people to take refuge!
“I don’t want to see Spike Town prosper in this way.”

Nie Zi received the phone call and then complained like this.

Refugees and tourists are different; the former represent an emergency, while the latter represent peace.

"However, there are no Power Points in Spike Town, nor in the surrounding area. Although we don't know what the Dynamaxed Pokémon are up to, if they are just acting on instinct, they will definitely go to places with more Power Points."

"In addition, all the dojos have also fallen."

On the other end of the phone was Dan Di:

They intended to use Dynamax to suppress the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon, but their own Dynamax Pokémon also went berserk. Even casting the spell "Ghost" didn't help.

"Of course, how can a spell to dispel the darkness in people's hearts banish Galer particles that have a physical form? Those are originally from our land. That being said, they probably used it because they accepted Chairman Loz's invitation to pursue greater power."

"I don't know about that. But I know exactly how to suppress the Dynamax's rampage: use that ball."

"【Soul Heart】, it's a pity that machine isn't here. Well, it's said to be a creation of mysterious science, something we can't create."

[So, having been suppressed by Soul Heart, I will take responsibility, even though I'm no longer the champion. Saying this as a former champion might hurt others, but I believe I can single-handedly suppress their rampaging Pokémon!]

[Also, you saw what was on TV, right? I've already asked the people at the TV station! What's going on with this strange TV program? Turns out, those people claiming to be royalty also work at the TV station.]

“I saw it.” Nie Zi’s expression was very serious: “If I had known that Mary would encounter these lunatics, I definitely would not have agreed to let her go to the Crown Snowfield.”

"However, she performed very well. She's much better than me, the older brother. I've heard that in other regions, people can start traveling and become excellent trainers at the age of 10. Perhaps the time limit for gym challenges in our region doesn't have to be so strict."

Not only that, I called home, and my mom said my little brother went out too! He was chasing after a Woolstätter who had left home. And Sonia too!

[I immediately dialed my brother's Pokédex number, but no one answered. When I dialed Sonia's number, the signal was very jumbled, but she and Hop were also in the Crown Tundra!]

Nie Zi: "I saw it. Sonia and Cai Dou, they're fighting on the set of the royal family shoot!"

On the public television in Spike Town, you can see live footage filmed by the royal family of Crown Snowfield. Although the snowfield is a secret place, it is connected to the internet because of the existence of Frozen Village.

Galar boasts highly developed industrial facilities and its technology ranks among the top in the region. Coupled with the series of cutting-edge technologies developed by Wishing Star, although it hasn't yet entered the new era of ubiquitous signal like Rotom mobile phones, events happening in the snowfields can still be received in Galar.

As the legendary wings wreak havoc, giant Pokémon wreak havoc, and heroes and dragons clash on the battlefield, Sonia and Bea also appear!

"This is truly chaotic. Was the scene filmed by a royal researcher?"

[Nie Zi, where is the Crown Snowfield? How far is it from here?]

"Well, you're terrible with directions, after all. The snowfield seems to be further south from your hometown, and you've never been there. Although I'm just as worried as you are, isn't the other champion over there too?"

"They went to the Crown Snowfield to awaken an ancient Pokémon king and investigate the Sword and Shield legend. However, Darkrai was awakened by the royal family and appeared in the snowfield. Now it's 100% certain that the huge claw covering the sky in the background of the TV is Darkrai's true form!"

"It's unbelievable that the royal family wants to use Dynamax Pokémon to regain their power and reclaim their former status. It's incredible to see such talk in modern society."

"How did they manage to control those Dynamax Pokémon to wreak havoc in the snowfield? Did something similar happen in Harlequin Town? What happened in the forest that Moss and the others are heading to? The legendary hero has also appeared. This is truly chaos!"

"I think the final answer should be found at the Marocmon Group. Go find Ms. Olivia; she's definitely at the energy plant in Hammerlocke City."

That's absolutely true.

"Hmm? Dan Emperor, is that a voice beside you?"

I'm currently in Hammerlocke City, and I just woke up Kibana.

On the other side, Leon and Kibana were standing together. Kibana, having recovered from his earlier frenzy, was clutching his head, feeling a bit unwell. However, as Nie Zi's good friend, Kibana naturally had to fulfill his responsibility as the guardian of Hammerlocke City—

Factory raid!

"These defensive structures can't stop kids who grew up in Quanguan City!"

"Dan Di has finally snapped out of his daze and stopped following the rules. So, Ms. Olive, what exactly happened here? What deal did President Rose make with the ancient royal family?"

The scene was a complete mess, resembling an energy plant that had been attacked; it had been almost entirely destroyed!

"The energy plant has been destroyed, the remaining power is insufficient, and the energy conversion rate is rapidly declining. A massive blackout affecting the entire Galar region may occur next."

"Of course, the electricity won't disappear instantly, but rather it will disappear gradually, city by city."

Oliver, along with employees of the Marocmont Group, is here for emergency repairs.

Faced with the two powerful figures who had come to question her, she paused for a moment, and finally answered:

"This is also Chairman Loz's intention."

Dan: "So, where is Chairman Rose?"

Olive: "The president went to the snowfield."

This answer surprised both of them.

"The confidence of the royal family in restoring the country comes from remote control. Originally, this was a trade secret of our group, but the chairman said that if Dan Di asked, it would be fine to tell him."

Olive revealed the deal that Chairman Loz made with President Black.

That's it.

"Sold and Syldi attacked this place, stealing trade secrets and analytical data. The ancient royal family also has its own researchers. Those people probably infiltrated our group, which is why they were able to enter here undetected."

"Was that how Mugentana escaped?"

Kibana: "A machine that can control Pokémon at will?! You actually bought such a dangerous thing! And you're keeping Yami's true form locked up here and feeding it, even if you say it's for Galar's energy and society... ugh."

Olive: "It is precisely for the normal functioning of society that this must be done."

"Furthermore, the purchase of the technology was also to better understand and control Dynamax. We used our own energy conversion technology to acquire a new energy conversion technology, as well as technology that allows us to freely control Pokémon. This was part of the deal."

Leon: "In short, there might be a major blackout next, right? That's terrible. If that happens, the entire social system of Galar will collapse. Isn't this pushing ourselves to the brink of destruction?"

"I have to deal with the other gym riots. The gym leaders who have lost control of their Pokémon can't even protect their own cities now!"

Kibana: "It's alright, you go and handle the other gyms. I'll take care of Motogakure!"

"Oh my, how many years have passed since I was a child that I've fought without using Dynamax and decided the winner, just like Nie Zi?"

"Indistinguishable between day and night, without electricity or light. This is the earth born of darkness."

Galar, devoid of electricity and energy, is like the mid-industrial world as described by the older generation. However, electric lights have illuminated this world for many years; after all, this was one of the earliest industrialized regions.
Now, it seems we're returning to a purely pastoral era.

People were also seeking refuge, and the bustling noise, along with the rampant and insane broadcasts by the royal family, allowed them to witness the chaos in the snowfield.

The major power outage has begun.

Televisions are unusable, and towering red beams of light have spread across the world.

Fortunately, people still have Pokémon devices.

But apart from the royal family's channel, there are no other channels or news available.

City after city was plunged into darkness. Power was insufficient, factories shut down, machines could not operate, drainage was blocked, and production and transportation could not be maintained.

The Pokémon Center and storage system are also not working.

Especially in the Galar region, which is at a high latitude, the extreme cold descends equally on everyone when winter arrives.

Trainers heading to the snowfield, including the current champion who just defeated Leon, are all there.

But if everyone is in the snowfield, who will protect the Galar homeland?

As people thought this, they then saw a blazing red dragon of fire soaring into the sky atop the tower in Motostoke City. The exhaled heat and flames swept across the heavens!

The gigantic Pokémon was defeated!

In this pitch-black, lightless night, the red dragon transformed into a burning meteor, streaking across the sky!
"The pride of the Galatians!"

The citizens' initial anxiety vanished the moment they saw Dan Di appear!

"The Pill Emperor! The Pill Emperor has arrived!"

"The invincible champion, the strongest champion!"

The champions will not disappear; they will be passed down from generation to generation!

woohoo-

The flames in the sky pointed out the way forward, and on the other side of the land, ancient artifacts emitting smoke were being used again.

What appeared on the railway of Machine City was not a modern powered train, but a steam locomotive chugging and belching steam!
The voice of the dojo master, Kazu, echoed across the motorcycle:

"Let's use steam locomotives to traverse the wilderness. People from the north, go to Spike Town; people from the south, go to Wooden Pole Town and Hualang Town!"

In the event of such a major incident, in order to avoid potential future disasters, those in power will typically propose urban redevelopment to prevent population loss.

Therefore, the idea of ​​emigration has taken root in the hearts of some Galatians, who may indeed be considering moving to other peaceful and tranquil regions.

For example, Carlos across the sea?

----------

Eternatus's giant claws trembled incessantly, and the frigid blizzard and the silver-white King's Holy Spear struck its vital points!
The strongest move displayed under the Infinite Giant Transformation was easily torn apart by the monarch riding a white horse.
A 3000-year-old feud?
Was it a past version of myself who, after absorbing the energy of the entire Galar domain, engaged in a fierce battle with it?
But if that's the case, why didn't I absorb the giant wishing star here back then?

Or was it because there wasn't much wisdom at that time, so many things were forgotten? Perhaps that battle happened across time and space, because stars would descend upon beings who truly prayed for power.

This immense power was bestowed upon them, and some Pokémon were granted the Gigantamax evolution form.

Biggest, fiercest, strongest.
Mukyuu Tana stretched out its claws with all its might, and endless power surged from the core of its body!
Use unlimited energy to fight against the faith of the seven lands!
Max Raider!
Eternatus unleashed its Dynamax move, and at that moment, this strongest rider on a white horse gave it a sense of crisis even more terrifying than Sword and Shield Hero!
A blue psychic glow surged from Calyrex's body, its color distinct from that of other Psychic-type Pokémon; this was one of Calyrex's defining characteristics.

Then, the mountains began to rumble and tremble, and the snow seemed to turn into the weapon of this king of wind and snow!

Kill the "giant" on the holy mountain.

The snow-covered mountains where the wishing star once fell, the nameless cave, covered by thousands of years of snow, has been transformed into weapons!
【avalanche】!
If attacked by an opponent's move and takes damage, the power of the avalanche will double!
"The Crown Snowfield is constantly covered in snow."

"If it's [Hail], Pokémon other than Ice-type will take continuous damage. Light-type moves will be weakened, and Blizzard will always hit."

"If it's a snowy scene, Ice-type Pokémon's Defense is increased by 1.5 times."

In spin-off works, it also increases the move power of Ice and Steel-type Pokémon by 20%.

If a heavy snow event is triggered, all stats of Ice-type Pokémon will increase by 1.1 times, and morale will be boosted to maximum.

Meanwhile, in ancient worlds like the era of the Jadeite Washing.

Under the snow.

The chance of inflicting frostbite with a move is doubled. The chance of being unable to act while asleep is doubled. Speed ​​stats of Ice-type Pokémon are increased.

However, the White Horse King's speed was not high to begin with, so increasing it a little would be pointless. It would be more practical to just open the magic space directly.

The key point is the [frostbite] effect!
The state of Arceus in the legend.

A Pokémon that is frozen will take half the damage of a non-fixed damage special move!

And lose one-sixteenth of your health at the end of the round!
When it's snowing, Pokémon are more susceptible to frostbite!

Moreover, in that era, the Blizzard move, at the cost of reducing its power by 10 points, resulted in a 30% chance of causing normal frostbite. Considering that this was frostbite rather than freezing, it did not have the overwhelming power of the original Blizzard, which "once you are frozen, you cannot be unfrozen".

However, if it were fought in a place like the Crown Snowfield!

Although frostbite is not the same as freezing, the two are essentially interchangeable.

Even Dynamaxed Pokémon can be affected by status conditions! Eternatus is no exception!
If a skill like Blizzard is used, the chance of inflicting frostbite increases to 60%, while the chance of freezing is 20%.
While it's not possible to return to the original 30% "invincible freeze" level, a 20% chance is already quite terrifying for such an unpleasant state as freeze.

And so, here comes the amazing prop.

Guangmo took out the mysterious ornament.

Site condition – Rainbow!
Alternatively, by utilizing the simultaneous eruption of the Water and Fire Oath, a special status can be triggered, which doubles the occurrence rate of additional effects when using moves!

"Quickly, stop that Pokémon riding a horse!"

Startled by the Shining Spear, Hisoka and his buddy, along with other royalty and dignitaries who fled in terror from a distance, tried to stop the king by using the giant Pokémon they were remotely controlling.

"What king?! Only we are the true royalty! Where did this new king come from?!"

"Stop joking! Who is this guy? A Pokémon summoned by that traveler?!"

【Hmm! This is Alola's rainbow light!】

Raikou saw a rainbow appear on the horizon and felt a strange power, which was neither a regular field move nor a specific weather condition.

Rainbows, wetlands, and seas of fire are three unique combinations of phenomena!
Calycerin rides a warhorse, and can only control the snowstorm in its white horse form, giving it a significant advantage in snowy battles, even though its special attack isn't high—

The White Horse King closed his eyes, and blue superpowers surged intensely within him!
【meditation】!
Raises its Special Attack and Special Defense, then shines under Rainbow Illumination—

【"snowstorm!"】

It was as if the sky had been torn apart, and endless white snow swept across the entire sky, swallowing the world into an endless white expanse, obscuring the outline of the distant mountains, roaring like a ferocious beast, filling the entire world, stretching from the edge of the mountains to the other side of heaven and earth!
The Dynamaxed Pokémon were buried in snow and frozen in a state of ice!
Sord: "Frozen! How could this happen? A gigantic Pokémon can actually be frozen?!"

The scene before my eyes was absolutely horrifying!
More than just powerful Pokémon that can be remotely controlled.

Even Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Articuno were frozen!

Hilde: "Legendary Wings, the Legendary Wings are frozen too?! Move!" He slammed the button on the remote control: "They're rare Pokémon that live in the snowfields, and there's even one called Articuno, but they're frozen? What's going on?!"

Lightmoss: "Zetzart has no Electric type, and Articuno has no Ice type."

"Therefore, although it is also a legendary wing, it is a different species from the three legendary birds of other regions. It has convergent evolution, or rather, regional morphology. Isn't that amazing?"

Lightmoss: "While frozen, you can still use Dynamax, but you can't unfreeze. Even after Dynamaxing, you're immediately covered in ice and snow again. Although Dynamax grants immunity to some status changes, it offers no resistance to any abnormal statuses." "The Dynamaxed Pokémon are all frozen, and they've even suffered frostbite!"

"With a remote control attached, it's about time it was destroyed, right? The power output has decreased!"

The two, Hisoka and his companion, were suddenly taken aback, and Hilde immediately checked the output power on the remote control he was carrying.

"What? How could this be? This is already at maximum output!"

"The machine is malfunctioning. This is a high-level item inlaid with crystal shards. The commands are not working?!"

It's like a game controller suddenly becoming unresponsive. Hildi frantically presses buttons and pushes the joystick, only to find that the number of commands that can be used with the remote control has decreased, and some commands can't be tried!

Affected, the controlled Sword King also became disoriented, and the other frozen Pokémon were completely unable to move!
"Eternatus, control Eternatus! Use [Flame Jet] to remove the frozen state!"

Hisoka and his companion initially didn't understand what skills Eternatus could use, but Rose's investigation report contained information on this topic, thus revealing the powers Eternatus had previously employed.

Poison, fire, dragons—but as the largest, strongest, and most ferocious creatures in legends, it's common knowledge that dragons can use various elemental skills!

"【Mukutana】! Heed our command, unleash 【Flame Jet】!"

Hisoka and his companion looked up at the distant high sky.

However, the enormous venomous dragon did not respond to them at all, and was only engaged in a fierce battle with the Crowned King that was flying through the sky!

"No, it's not obeying commands! It only has eyes for that Pokémon called the King!"

"To disobey orders in order to defeat the king, is it because the power of Eterna is too great, or... no, it must be that the remote control is malfunctioning! Could it be that this remote control device is defective?"

"The products sold to us, or to the Marocomón Group, are downgraded versions."

"No, brother, that thing is called the export version. Maybe it's a magnetic field issue?"

Hisoka and the other's hair was disheveled. Then, a dark current appeared around them, and the instructions on the remote control turned into complete gibberish.

Electromagnetic interference, but this is not a skill; rather, it is caused by a certain ecological characteristic of Pokémon.

"Gear Monster, use [Magnetic Field Manipulation] to repair this machine!"

The Hisoka duo also have a Pokémon related to magnetism, namely Gearid. Before Professor Juniper and Professor Abe in the Unova region completed their investigation into the exact origins of the Gearid family.

By the time the Industrial Revolution occurred, the Gear Monsters already had a very long history in Galar.

Especially the second-stage posture before evolution, the "gear assembly".

It is considered a symbol of industrial technology, and many local companies in Galar have chosen it as their corporate logo.

However, the Gryphon family is a very typical example of Pokémon that can be affected by magnetism! In the Unova region, they live in Tourmaline Caves, but if the magnetism in Tourmaline Caves becomes abnormal, the Gryphon family will exhibit strange reactions.

Lightmoss's voice carried no sarcasm, but Hisoka and the other heard a sigh within it, and an explanation for "arriving just in time":

"There is a Pokémon whose blood is replaced by a powerful magnetic force that circulates continuously."

"If you anger it, it will not only cause a huge disturbance, but it will also release a powerful magnetic force that will destroy mechanical things."

"Under the icy and snowy conditions, the power of these Pokémon will be even greater!"

A blue iron comet appeared beside them.

The Gear Monster spun its gears, and the Iron Dumbbell unleashed its power, charging directly into the Gear Monster's transmission system!

boom!
The sturdy iron dumbbell got stuck at the key point of the gear's rotation. Without the gear monster's rotation, it couldn't generate magnetism!
Not only that!

"Doom".

After a brief, cold-blooded reflection.

Iron Dumbbell judged that it would be beneficial to start frying now.

Iron Dumbbell's [Iron Hoof Ray]!
The remote control was set to maximum power, but it malfunctioned immediately after being hit by the Steel Explosion!

Machine explodes!

Hisoka and the other two, along with the Gear Monster, were blasted away. The magnetic force of the Iron Dumbbell affected the Gear Monster's movements, and the intense silver light and shockwave overturned everyone around them!
Hildi: "Bring, bring the remote control! Brother, it hurts so much!"

Soder: "Yes, brother, I'm bleeding! I looked a mess before, but this time it feels like all my bones are broken!"

"Suddenly appearing behind us to attack, this guy... is related to magnetism, could he be steel-based—?"

"Magnetic force affects the maximum output power, so what Pokémon is that?"

They do not exist in Galar itself; they only inhabit the Snow Valley in the Crown Snowfield!
Therefore, even royalty had never seen an iron dumbbell!
Simply put, the original Pokémon characters are not yet qualified to be on par with the DLC Pokémon!
Hildi looked at the light moss, fear coursing through his very soul:
"Who are you? Why are you here in the Galar region, a place that should be ruled by our royal family?"

"Our plans have all failed because of this coincidence! You shouldn't have been in the stands at Galar!"

Sord's face was filled with horror: "It's unbelievable that we, as celebrities, would end up like this, failing after failing. This must be an illusion, it must be an illusion. If it weren't for you, if none of this had happened, we, we would have been heroes long ago!"

Lightmoss: "Different regions and climates allow different Pokémon to live and thrive."

"Even in the same region, mountains and terrain can cause vastly different climates and affect the appearance of certain Pokémon."

"If con artists can become heroes... then what's the difference between a fake and a genuine product?"

The Hisoka duo felt an overwhelming fear. They retreated repeatedly, staggering and unable to stand steadily due to the blast, but driven by extreme fear, they continued to run deeper into the snowfield.

"Brother, run! Run! If this is a nightmare, wake up!"

"Brothers! We must leave here quickly! We're not liars, we're not liars!"

------

"Ouch——"

Zacian's Beast Slash clashed with the Holy Sword of the Shielded Swordsman, sparks flying from their blades.

The world spun before her eyes, the golden shield impenetrable, the golden greatsword incomparably sharp—

What a fine sword!
Even under control, Zaxiang couldn't suppress these fragmented thoughts. In order to continue fighting with that sword, he kept slashing at it until he was exhausted!

However, his younger brother's shield always interfered. That much more powerful shield could block all attacks. With the two shields attacking from both sides, Zaixiang couldn't decide which way to point his sword to fight!
Is this the direction we face towards the enemy?

Which side is the enemy on?!
There are actually two guys in this world that my sword can't cut down! The irresistible urge to fight against the strong kept popping up!
[There's a flaw!]

As Zangmarante leaped into the air, a powerful giant beast bullet knocked her to the ground!
Having lost the control of the remote, the golden vortex disappeared, and Zacian, who had been manipulated, finally became exhausted, her movements abruptly stopping!
Bang!

The decaying sword fell from his mouth, and the form of the Sword King was dispelled!
Sister! Are you alright?

Although he had just dealt a heavy blow to his older sister and then immediately came up to ask if she was alright, which seemed a bit disdainful, Zamarant knew that if he didn't defeat his older sister, she would keep swinging her sword until she exhausted all her strength.

Wouldn't that put us in an even more dangerous situation?
"Thank you so much, Aegislash! That golden greatsword is really powerful, actually able to meet the blade of a giant beast's sword. How should I put it? No wonder it's a Pokémon with a legendary reputation in Galar. But this is the first time I've seen an Aegislash as strong as you."

Zamazent was also surprised by the golden appearance of the Shield Sword Monster, and at the same time, strange thoughts popped into his head.

With the "Sacred Sword" for offense, the "King's Shield" for defense, and unique "Battle Switch" and "Power Trick," you're practically a Pokémon with both sword and shield, aren't you? But you're still missing a scabbard, aren't you?

Aegislash: [Sheath? It disappeared after evolution.]

[The Holy Sword technique was learned from the legendary Holy Swordsmen. I once successfully passed the Holy Swordsman's exam. My golden form is known as the King's Stance, but I cannot learn the Giant Beast Slash.]

[Beast Slash is a STAB move! What does the Steel type lack? It's precisely this kind of high-powered move!]

The Aegislash was somewhat excited and emotional:

Long ago, I was sold as a treasure and heard the legend of the Giant Beast Slayer Sword. Now, I've come here, and finally, I can pay homage to the Sword King! The legendary, decaying sword... Ah, to fight such a king, I have no regrets!

The Aegislash knows exactly how many times it has slashed itself!
I'm so touched!
Zangmarante was speechless as he watched the Shield-Sword Monster emit a strange low chuckle.

A battle-hardened shield is a symbol of a hero. That being said, why are you a bit weird? The more your older sister hits you, the happier you are.

"Alright, I hope you can learn my sister's Giant Beast Slash. However, the Corrupted Sword is broken. Should we ask those two knights to help us reforge it here?"

[But what is a Swordsman? I've never heard of it. Could it be a Pokémon that uses swords to fight, like my older sister?]

Zangmarante came to Cangxiang's side and lifted her up, and Cangxiang let out a low whimper.

From battling Galar particles in the Silent Forest and the attack instincts within their bodies, to fighting against the Giant Tree Hills and the Gigantamaxed Legendary Wings.

Without the [Sword of Decay], he could not use the Giant Beast Slash, and was therefore defeated. He was then controlled by the people of that ancient royal family and forcibly transformed.

The shield was shattered, and the younger brother was injured, but thankfully, the final result was...
Finally, the craftsman of the Noble Phantasm was found, and the Aegis shattered the Steel-Broken Sword, just like the impenetrable walls of Hammerlocke City. Those walls had protected people and Pokémon during the Dark Night.

Fortunately, Zangmarante has become stronger than before.

In a way, it sounds like a little story that the King of Men once murmured.

If there truly were a wish-granting object that could bring the knights a sumptuous feast—

Only a pure knight can find it.

This isn't the ideal world.

In Cangxiang's weary eyes, a vision of the world 3000 years ago appeared, a world just as dark as this, with the same great red dragon.

The strong joined forces with the King of All. However, before that, the region was already on the verge of extinction, the old world had disappeared, and thus a new ideal world was established.

In the ideal new world, there is no need for heroes, so the sword and shield are hidden away.

time flies.

The ideals of the past are buried, and the descendants of the king of men have become like this.
The white-horse king, whose horse had frozen the earth and sky, raised his hooves.

Zacian saw the Rachel's charge.

Within the mountains of Galar lies the eternal king, who will awaken when Galar faces its demise!
【Crown of Calypsos】

The king bestows weapons upon the heroes, but the king himself is also one of the legendary weapon wielders.

The white warhorse soared through the sky with superpowers, and the pristine white spear struck once more, severely wounding the dark dragon in the heavens!
Cangxiang felt that he should do something, even if he was exhausted.

She looked at the Shielded Sword Monster, who floated forward.

He took out a small bag filled with dust.

Cangxiang was slightly taken aback.

It is "holy ashes".

Zamrazenta told Zacian: "The thing left behind by the red knight who used holy flames when forging the new shield at the Ruins of Choice is said to be a power passed down from a Pokémon called Ho-Oh."

[Sacred ash can heal all injuries and is used to revive deceased Pokémon.]

Dust settled on Zacian's body, and the embers began to burn. The sacred flames seemed to be reforging her body. Although she was enveloped in flames, she unexpectedly felt no pain, but instead gradually became filled with power.

She looked at the Shielded Swordsman, a strange light in her eyes:
[You were truly powerful just now. Although you said you came because you admired me, in my opinion, your blade was already capable of shattering my body. I am honored to be remembered by such a precious sword as yours.]

Swords attract each other, isn't that how it is? To merge my sword with yours.

[However, what exactly is this "Holy Swordsman" you speak of? If it's a swordsman, does that mean you can fight as a "sword"? The Aegis Sword Monsters do indeed have legends of founding and destroying nations; I think that probably refers to powerful, special individuals like yourself.]

If possible, come with me.

I'll teach you the real "Giant Beast Slash"!

--------

Below the mountain.

Someone ran out of the cave and, on the chaotic battlefield in the distance, defeated the rioting and panicked Pokémon, as well as the royal researchers!

"This one has a built-in remote control—"

Bea caught the researchers carrying a camera and a remote control. After defeating their Pokémon and the Pokémon they were controlling, she and Sonia ran all the way from the Snowfield to here!

"Miss Rainbow Bean?! What are you doing here?"

Marie also defeated the Galarian Moltres, who was on the verge of collapse. As the only one with the Max Bracelet, she threw the Giant Ball and put the bird, which was engulfed in ominous flames, into the Dark Ball!
Dark Balls make it easy to catch Pokémon at night or in dark places like caves.

[If your current location is a cave, Crescent Island, or it is nighttime or dark, the capture rate is tripled!]

"What is that bird? It's black and burning with flames!"

Ayaka saw the defeated Blackbird and, though quite surprised, didn't press for details, knowing she'd find out sooner or later. She answered Mary's question:

"The mountains are shaking, the cave is about to collapse, and Dr. Barnett told us that we can't stay inside any longer!"

"Strange wavelengths were detected deep within the nest. She told us to escape immediately, but thankfully, we found it—look, it's this Pokémon!"

Looking back, Bea saw Sonia holding a trembling, nebula-shaped gaseous Pokémon in her arms.

"So cute! Is this the Pokémon called Little Float? It doesn't look like a creature from legends at all."

"Dr. Barnett seems to be searching for literature." Sonia's expression was still somewhat shaken.
"It seems that very few people in the Alola region know about this part of the legend. She went to the Marie's Library to investigate... well, I don't know where that library is, but we're out now! Mission, is the mission complete?"

Sonia herself wasn't sure if the mission was complete; she had a feeling there might be something else inside!
of course.

Sonia will never know.

In the Alola region, only the four island gods, Acerola (a descendant of the Alola royal family), Sofú (King of Poni Island), and Hapú (the next King of Poni Island) know the Nebula Legend.

Although there are legends about Solgaleo and Lunala in the library, it does not say that they evolved from the Star Children.

Cosmog is an extremely rare Pokémon, and only a select few in Alola know of its existence.

[In the past, Cosmog, known only to the King of Alola and his heir, was called the "Star Child." The Aether Foundation is researching this rare Pokémon, and the name Cosmog was only recently given by the Foundation's professor.]

The Aether Foundation captured Starchild only because it could open Ultra Caves. As for its true identity, the Aether Foundation will only learn about this Pokémon if the Ultra Survey Team appears.

"What a huge blizzard! Is that the king in the sky?!"

"By the way, it seems there's been a major power outage in Galar!"

Everyone saw the blue and white war gun shining in the sky, and the silver meteors traversed the sky, crossing all eighty-eight constellations, piercing the tentacles of the poisonous dragon one after another!
Mukyuu Tana's emotions were also like a rollercoaster.

Despite having absorbed another enormous wishing star and gained the power of the Galar land, it was still no match for the White King before it.

This guy clearly doesn't have any moves that can deal double damage to gigantic Pokémon!
Is Snow Spear such an overpowered skill?!

And this thing is incredibly tough. It's supposed to be an Ice-type Pokémon, which should be quite fragile! Even the so-called solid ice isn't that hard!
It has an iron wall, meditation, white mist to prevent ability reduction, and even "ultimate absorption"!?

Even with 250 in both defenses and 255 in HP, it couldn't withstand it!
Of course, while Mugentsuna was surprised, Raikou was even more shocked!
The invincible power of faith is rapidly weakening!
[My fame will gradually decline over time, which will affect my abilities. I can feel it. Although the faith from distant regions still exists, it is disappearing in Galar.]

What happened? Huh? A major power outage!?
