Pokémon from Galar

Mi Ling didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. After all, to put it bluntly, they came to Alola to ask for help, and the people in front of them were the Alola Champion and the Island King. There was no point in trying to be clever about their purpose.

Moreover, the reason she stepped forward to contact important figures at this time was because she received a message from the other side. The negotiations with the Ether Foundation went unexpectedly smoothly. Whether it was about the Ultimate Hole or the technology from another world, the Ether Foundation had no reason to refuse.

Therefore, with some success on the other side, Mi Ling had the confidence to talk to Miss Champion.

"Before that, please state your identities: outsiders."

Hala was of course unaware of the Ether Foundation's affairs, but for the time being, he had to take the initiative to prevent his champion from being fooled by strange people.

“We were rude. My name is Miling, and she is my companion Amam. We come from another world’s Ultimate Metropolis. We are here for the sake of the Radiant God, Necrozma.”

"Another world? The Radiant God?!"

"..."

Hala was surprised that an outsider would say that name, while Mari and Mizuki exchanged bewildered glances, especially Mizuki, who was probably the least knowledgeable about Necrozma among those present.

“Miss Miling, Miss Amam, my apologies. As the king of the island, please come in and let us discuss this further.”

Since the other party mentioned the name of the Radiant God, Hala immediately became serious. The Radiant God was also a deity in Alola's legends.

Mary originally wanted to leave first, after all, Necrozma's level... was just too high, a bit beyond Mary's imagination.

Although Eternatus's base stats after Gigantamaxing are higher than Necrozma's according to my memory, Necrozma's influence can actually radiate to many worlds.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, Mari has absolutely no desire to get involved... It's a pity that Galar is her home, and she can't avoid getting involved in Mujita, but here, she's not even from this world, so it's best to get as little involved as possible.

"Well then, I'll go first. It's okay for me to go back alone now."

Hala didn't stop them, at least in his view there was no need to involve outsiders, but the Ultimate Investigation Team clearly didn't intend to let Mary, who had a special talent, go.

Amam moved closer to Mary, gripping the armrests of her wheelchair with both hands, and said with a smile:

"Your name is Mary, right? Why don't you stay and listen? The way you dealt with the Ultra Beast yesterday was really impressive. I hope you'll at least listen to our request..."

"..."

While Mary was still considering her words, Mizuki stepped in to smooth things over for her:

“Well, Mary isn’t from our world. She’ll be going back to her own world soon, so even if you say that, she might not be able to help you.”

“We also detected a very faint energy aura on you, Miss Mary. You also came to this world through the Ultra Void, right? If you are willing to listen further, we can lend you Lunayara’s riding device and protective suit so that you can return to your own world.”

As she said this, Miss Miling even took out a device and gestured to it, since they had come to Alola with the help of Lunala and Solgaleo.

"hiss……"

Marie hadn't expected the other party to be so generous. It was only after hearing what the other party said that she vaguely remembered that multiple Cosmogs could be caught in Ultra Metropolis, unlike in Alola where they were so rare.

What Mari cared about most wasn't Lunayara, since Lillie already had her, but rather the protective suit. The reason she was waiting was precisely because of her physical condition; she wanted to minimize the risks by staying here.

"Alright... if you don't mind, let me hear about the great god of light. I'm completely confused by all the nonsense that Mosquito Booster told me."

The incense should still be burned, and just listening to it won't cause any harm. If we can go back a day sooner, we can put the people in the other world at ease a day sooner.

"..."

Mizuki stared at Mari's face, hesitant to speak, but before Mari could say anything, Mi Ling began to recount their world and their grudges with Necrozma.

Chapter 154 The Promise with Mizuki

The history of Necrozma is similar to what Marilyn remembers: the people of that world, Ultra Metropolis, were blinded by greed and brought about their own demise, pouring their desires onto Necrozma, who gave the world light. This ultimately caused Necrozma to lose its light and fall into grave injury.

Then that world also suffered the consequences of its own actions; the entire world lost its light and could only rely on technology to eke out a living.

The story is quite cliché, but reality is undeniable. Wasn't Arceus in her own Pokémon world also betrayed by humans and lost the Stone Tablet? Marie had forgotten the specifics, but she was also tricked quite badly.

It just goes to show that humans are inherently wicked.

Mary will not comment on the behavior of people in ancient times, after all, that era was not a peaceful one, so it is not expected that the average quality of people would be very high.

Moreover, strictly speaking, if it weren't for the Ultimate Survey Team's reckless actions, Necrozma's light probably wouldn't have reached Alola.

Of course, the Ultimate Investigation Team's current plan is to find a way to bring Necrozma back to life, supposedly to atone for their sins.

However, they didn't tell Marie and the others the specifics of how to proceed, as they were reportedly still investigating. Alola seemed to be the world where Necrozma's radiance shone most intensely, which was why they chose to come to Alola.

Both the Dominator Aura and the Z-Crystal are energy evolved from Necrozma's light. What's strange is that this energy is concentrated in Alola and hasn't spread evenly throughout the Pokémon world. Marnie suspects that Arceus might have done something behind the scenes.

This provides an explanation for why Marie can use Z-Moves outside of Alola. After all, Alola is not a completely closed world; energy diffusion always exists. Even if other regions cannot produce Evangelite and Crystal due to concentration issues, there is no problem using them.

As for Necrozma, Marnie knew a way, but she didn't know if it would work. In her memory, Ash used the Alola Z-Ring to gather energy and feed it back to Necrozma, making him become Aladdin again.

But how should I put it... this method is too idealistic. Marie doesn't know the theoretical basis either. If it's just a simple energy feedback, Marie doesn't believe the Ultimate Investigation Team hasn't tried it, but obviously it didn't work.

While lost in thought, Mary recalled the incomprehensible things that the muscle-bursting mosquito had said to her before.

Could it really be related to people? However, the information from both sides is rather idealistic and fantastical. Even if they are combined, they seem to make some sense, but they are still not convincing. Nevertheless, they can be offered as a research direction for the time being.

Marie tugged at Mizuki's sleeve and shared her conjecture. Of course, she didn't mention Ash's memory, but the explanation about Buzzwole alone was enough to provide the Ultimate Research Team with a research direction.

"Miss Mary! Thank you so much for your information. Just as I thought, Miss Mary, you can definitely help us!"

Mi Ling seemed somewhat incoherent, clearly showing how important the conjecture provided by Mary was to her. Amamo, on the other hand, was even more direct, rushing over to excitedly hug Mary, then pulling out a small device and shoving it into Mary's hand:

"Thank you! Marie! Is this called a riding device here? Here, it's yours. You can borrow Solgaleo to ride, or do you prefer Lunala? I can help you change the binding settings. There's storage inside the protective suit, you can use it directly."

"Um... thank you, but I can't guarantee that what Bulbous Mosquito said is true. Don't put all your hopes on it."

Mi Ling waved her hand, trying to regain her composure, but the smile on her lips just wouldn't go away:

"Don't worry, I've held back for so many years. I just couldn't help myself when I heard about a feasible solution. But thank you for reminding me anyway. If it really works, I will arrange the best return gift for you, Miss Mary."

"...No need for a return gift, I'm already very grateful that you lent me this riding device."

The translation was still a bit odd, but Mary didn't mind. Right now, her attention was focused on the cycling device. Although she wanted to go home immediately, she had to put up with it for the time being.

After all, Marie can't even walk on her own right now, so she needs to be able to stand up on her own first, otherwise she won't be able to hold onto Solgaleo's back properly.

"Excuse me, we intend to report this conjecture to the team leader immediately. Mr. King of the Island, Miss Champion, and Miss Mary, please allow us to take our leave now."

"It's alright. This matter is indeed very important. Please feel free to contact me if you need any help. Since it involves the Radiant God, Alola should also do its part."

Hala extended an invitation that was both an invitation for cooperation and a warning. The Radiant God was a legendary deity in Alola. If they didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that they did, they couldn't just stand by and watch the Ultimate Investigation Team mess things up on their own.

Whether it's true or false, Alola can't just let it go. Hala has made up her mind. After seeing off the Ultimate Survey Team and Mizuki, she plans to contact the other island kings, Dr. Kukui, and the Aether Foundation.

With things having come to this point, Mary and Miyuki decided to leave.

Although Mizuki, as the champion, should have attended this meeting, she has delegated most of her clerical work to Dr. Kukui and has no intention of participating in the discussions among the Alola leadership.

The two left Hala's house together again. Mari looked at Mizuki beside her with a somewhat subtle expression:

"Shouldn't you stay as the champion and contact other people with Hala?"

"No, no, Dr. Kukui will tell me about these things later. Besides, I get a headache just thinking about those kinds of things."

Mizuki seemed to have absolutely no interest in this kind of thing, so Mari thought about it and decided not to say anything more. Dr. Kukui was definitely a great person.

"Okay... is there anything I need to do this afternoon?"

"No plans, unless we receive news of an Ultra Beast appearing..."

Mizuki paused abruptly, then looked at Mari with a worried expression, and asked in a somewhat hesitant tone:

"...Marie, are you going back now?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, Mizuki made that expression. Mari paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

"I can't even walk right now, how am I supposed to go back? Besides, didn't I promise to help you deal with the Ultra Beast issue? Even if I do go back, I'll be back very soon."

"Really? Let's pinky swear!"

Mizuki laughed and stuck out her little finger at Mari.

Chapter 155 Finally, I can get rid of the wheelchair, and the strange beasts reappear.

The next day, Mary tried to fall asleep on her own without hypnosis. The process was a bit long, but she eventually drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night. Although she wasn't feeling particularly well when she woke up in the morning, it was still a good sign.

"Ha... Good morning, Mizuki."

"Good morning, would you like to go and rest a bit more? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Mizuki naturally knew Mary's plans, so when she came out with breakfast and saw Mary's listless appearance, she naturally became worried.

"No, I'm asleep. It's just that the quality of my sleep isn't as good as it was a few days ago. I'm a little unaccustomed to it, but it will be fine in a couple of days."

Mary waved her hand, then wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and, with the help of her wheelchair, went to the dining table to eat the breakfast that Meiyue had prepared. For the time being, it was just the two of them in the house.

Miyuki's parents were still leaving early and returning late, probably because the Alola Pokémon League was incredibly busy. The league had just been established, so there must be a lot of things to handle.

"By the way, I feel like I should be able to stand up today. My legs have more strength than yesterday, so I should be able to get rid of the wheelchair."

"Really?! Let's try it after breakfast!"

"Ok!"

After breakfast, Sis stood by the wheelchair with a worried expression, ready to reach out and support Mary at any moment. Mary smiled and patted Sis's arm to reassure her.

Then he took a deep breath, gripped the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, and trembled as he stood up. His legs barely managed to stay upright, much better than the few days before when he had almost no feeling at all.

"call……"

There was no rush to move around. Having been in a wheelchair for several days, it still needed some time to adjust.

"Let me help you."

Mizuki reached out and transferred Mary's hands, which were supporting her on the wheelchair, to her own body. The fact that Mizuki was about the same size as Mary made her attempt to hug Mary look a little comical.

"Thank you, I can move around a bit now, don't worry."

It's unclear who was being addressed with those words of reassurance. Leaning against Meiyue, Mary took her first steps, albeit somewhat weakly. Since she wasn't paralyzed before, Mary adapted quickly. After walking around the room twice, she was able to walk on her own.

Although his steps were still a bit unsteady, even worrying to watch, at least he didn't fall directly to the ground.

"Ha... I don't have to trouble you guys to take care of me anymore."

Mary's hands were still resting on Mizuki's palms. She faced Mizuki and Suzume, who was following closely behind, and gave her an apologetic smile.

Mary has been a real burden to them lately. She can't take care of her daily needs, food, and lodging on her own, and she's almost lost all sense of shame.

"It's okay, we're friends..."

Mizuki smiled with relief, and was about to say something more when her phone rang, interrupting her.

"Ah, just a moment, I need to take this call."
