Pokémon from Galar

"Hehe~ I'm going to defeat Marie and Hop, and then challenge Champion Leon!"

Yuri smiled foolishly and raised her hand, following Mary's whimsical thoughts and letting her imagination run wild. After all, it was all just wishful thinking, so thinking a little more wouldn't be a crime.

"I definitely won't lose to you. I'll be the one challenging the Pill Emperor then."

Marie refused to admit defeat verbally, but then again, Leon became champion at the age of ten and held the title for more than ten years. If he brought out the main Pokémon he used to fight with, probably no one could beat him.

At every year's Challenge, the only Pokémon Leon is always Charizard.

In previous years, I was once brought to the brink of defeat by Pikachu or Raibou, leaving me with only Charizard. However, I managed to fight back against those Charizards.

So Mary guessed that the champion's position was entirely up to D'Antoni's personal wishes. If he wanted, he could hold the position until retirement, just like the previous champion.

"Hehehe~ But Charizard is really cool, I wish I could have one too. I don't have a Pokémon that can carry me around yet."

"Speaking of which, do you really have any goals?"

Yuri shook her head; she was no longer the naive newcomer who wanted everything she saw!

"No, that's for the future. I was just making a comment."

"Well~ Little Sasuke is about to evolve, maybe you can give it a try."

"Wow...doesn't that mean your family's dragons are going to multiply again?"

"Actually, it's not too bad, since Dorgonmesia doesn't eat much anyway."

Chapter 169 Electric-Attribute Ultimate Beast

The sea and beaches are always the most popular places in Alora.

Mary and Yuri each wore cute two-piece swimsuits, walking barefoot on the fine sand, watching the bustling scene of people coming and going, finally finding the feeling of a vacation for the two of them.

Yuri was wearing a light blue polka-dot two-piece swimsuit with a skirt. The fabric was very thin, and the top was tied around her neck and the back of her body with ties that made people want to reach out and untie it.

However, although Mary was very tempted by it, her own plain-colored ribbon swimsuit wasn't much better, since they were both choosing swimsuits for each other... so in the end, both of their swimsuits were quite daring.

Mo hates water, while Ichigo and Chiu hate the sun. Even Sue is too lazy to come out, so the only one who comes out to play is Pazu, who is keen on taking care of children. Nihilego is simply not suitable to be released casually in the Alola region.

Yuri's Pokémon, Eevee and Electabuzz, don't really like seawater, so only Lizard enthusiastically clung to Palmo and jumped into the sea, while Puffy stayed by Yuri's side, sunbathing.

"Hey hey, there are so many people! Mary, let's go diving!"

Yuri had obviously seen Balu take Sasuke and Yuri into the water, and she wanted to go diving with them too.

Marie stepped into the clear seawater. Near the beach, she could see the underwater scenery and some Water-type Pokémon passing by.

Baru was quite large and ran a bit far. Mary only watched them from afar for a while before paying no more attention to them. Today was meant to be relaxing, so it didn't really matter.

"You really have a lot of energy..."

Looking at Yuri beside her, who was eager to try and was practically jumping into the water, Mary could only marvel at her energy.

"Hehe~ Let's go, let's go~"

As she said this, Yuri shoved the diving goggles into Mary's hands. Looking down at what she was holding, Mary said helplessly:

"Didn't you say we were going surfing today? How come you even prepared this?"

"Of course we'll play them all!"

Reluctantly, she got dressed and was then pulled into the water by Yuri's hand. White Sponge just floated on the surface, bobbing with the waves. It's amazing Yuri wasn't worried about White Sponge being swept away...

Mary took a moment to surface and glance at Bai Pengpeng, only to find that she was controlling long, thin blades around her body, frantically stirring and paddling. She seemed quite skilled at it, moving forward at a good speed and even controlling the direction of her movement with ease.

"nya~? (What's wrong~?)"

Perhaps noticing Mary's gaze, the white, fluffy creature stirred its makeshift propellers and easily arrived in front of Mary, letting out a cheerful cry.

Mary raised an eyebrow. Although she didn't know which technique this move was derived from, she knew there was nothing to worry about.

"Nothing, I was just curious when you learned this trick?"

"nya~ (I tried it after seeing the explanation on TV and learned it right away~)"

"Oh, that's amazing!"

He raised his hand and patted the fluffy white head, then turned around and dived back into the water.

This is already considered deep water; you can see Baloo and the lizard swimming around not far away. Yuri is also nearby, hanging from Baloo's tail and waving at you.

Marie wasn't in a hurry to swim over. Separated by the seawater, the underwater world was full of life but not noisy. Under the bright sunlight, all kinds of Pokémon swam around, and she even saw Corsola.

The vibrant pink color is a stark contrast to Galar's grayish-white sun coral.

It is said to be a species that died and was revived due to drastic environmental changes. Because it is so different from sun corals in other regions, there are quite a few people who support this view.

I carefully reached out and picked up an unsuspecting sun coral. It was a bit hard to the touch, but its four short legs allowed it to walk normally. Surprisingly, this sun coral wasn't afraid of people.

He simply stood quietly on Mary's palm, looking into Mary's eyes.

You can't just touch the Galar sun coral like that; those translucent coral branches that seem not to be solid will become immobile if you touch them carelessly.

After observing for a while, Mary put down the little cutie in her hand, then turned and floated to the surface of the water.

This kind of diving is quite interesting. If Mary had the complete equipment, she would probably be even happier staying underwater for a long time.

However, their happy time didn't last long. After diving for a while, the two climbed ashore and were about to try surfing when Mary's Rotom phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing Mizuki's name, Mari answered the call without hesitation.

"Hey?"

“Marie? I’m sorry to bother you now, but a strange beast has appeared. It’s on Ula Ula Island, at Mount Firetek. It looks like it’s electric.”

Mary paused for a moment, then nodded and said without hesitation:

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Mary turned to look at Yuri. Before she could speak, Yuri smiled and said:

"Another Ultra Beast? You can go ahead and get busy."

Mary thought for a moment, feeling uneasy leaving Yuri there alone, so she took out Chirp's Poké Ball and said:

“It’s okay, let’s go together. It seems to be an electric-type this time, so Xiao Qiu can’t participate. You can have him take you to meet him nearby.”

Without waiting for Yuri's rebuttal, Mari threw out the deluxe ball, then turned to Balu and shouted:

"Baru! It's time to go!"

"Roar—! (Here they come!)"

Palmo arrived almost instantly with Lizard. The two of them put their Pokémon into their Poké Balls and then climbed onto Chirp's back.

"Let's go, Little Chirp, to Ula Ula Island."

"Gah~ (Hehehe~)"

Mary and Yuri, dressed in swimsuits, clung to her backs as Little Chick spread its wings and took off, making a very strange laugh. Mary pouted, "If we weren't in such a hurry to get somewhere, we would have plucked all the hair off your head!"

He held Yuri in his arms and hugged Xiaojiu's neck. Because they were lying face down, the position looked like Mari was pressing Yuri down on her. In addition, the two of them were wearing swimsuits, which made the situation even more ambiguous.

Yuri blushed as she felt the warmth emanating from Mari, feeling a mix of distraction and worry about the upcoming battle.

Unfortunately, Marie's mind is currently focused on Ultra Beasts. She only has a vague impression of Electric-type Ultra Beasts and can't even remember their names clearly. However, since Chinchilla is completely weak to them, she can only play a support role cautiously.

P.S.: Speaking of which, I don't know why the location of Electabuzz in the game is not Mt. Flareon. According to the description, this Pokémon should be the kind that runs into power plants, but it appears in the jungle.

Chapter 170 Ultimate Beast, Electric Wood

Ula Ula Island, Mount Volteli, is home to Alora's largest geothermal power plant.

The enormous power plant has led to a concentration of Electric-type Pokémon near Mt. Fire. Under normal circumstances, no one would pay any attention to the appearance of any powerful wild Electric-type Pokémon.

But today is clearly different. Two Pokémon, nearly four meters tall and with a unique shape resembling cables, are heading towards the power plant on the mountain path of Mt. Fire. The Ultra Beasts, unable to communicate, are attacking and driving away any Pokémon that pass by.

This has already caused some degree of unrest.

If left unchecked, the power plant could be affected by the battle, impacting the power supply to a significant portion of Alola's cities, something Lyra is unwilling to accept.

So when Marie and Yuri arrived, they saw Lila with her Pokémon, struggling to intercept two very strange-looking Pokémon on the road.

The two Ultra Beasts would occasionally unleash terrifying, indiscriminate electric shocks centered on themselves, forcing Lyra's Pokémon to stay away.

Although it has a humanoid, upright shape, its entire body seems to be just a bunch of thick cables tied together to form limbs and torso. The head is devoid of facial features, with only a bright star-like structure.

Before she could even think about why Mizuki hadn't arrived yet, Marie, still in mid-air, grabbed Balui and Sue's Poké Balls and flung them out, then leaped off Chip's back.

Sis skillfully caught Mari's body and instantly teleported to the ground, while Bal and Ichigo unleashed their domineering aura the moment they appeared! Dragon Pulse and Evil Pulse were unleashed simultaneously, pointing at one of the Ultimate Beasts that was about to attack Lila's position.

Boom! Boom!

Perhaps the sudden attack had an effect, because the attention of the beast that was hit immediately fell on Balu and Ichigo, who were surrounded by an aura.

"Hiss—(Are they trying to stop us again!)"

A strange electrical hum was indistinguishable from the electric shocks, but only Mary understood its meaning. However, it was too late; the beast had already raised its cable-like hands, and terrifying electrical energy instantly coalesced.

In what seemed like an instant, a massive electric current transformed into a shockwave that blasted towards the spot where Marie had fallen. Because of their different landing points, Ichigo and Bal were unable to provide assistance in time, and Suzu couldn't outpace the attack's speed.

Suddenly, a white figure descended from the sky, wielding a massive sword!

"see through!"

The dazzling bolt of lightning was split in two and exploded beside Mary, shattering large chunks of rock and ground.

Before she could thank Yuri and Onion Soldier, Mari quickly issued instructions:

"Dragon's Dive, I-chan, coordinate!"

"Roar—!! (Come on!!)"

“Ee—(I know.)”

Balu and Ichigo instantly turned and rushed towards the electric tree. Balu was still the main attacker, while Ichigo was on guard against the opponent's terrifying electric shock.

"Close combat! Onion Spinach!"

The Shallot, who descended from the sky, was clearly not to be outdone. He was deeply impressed by his opponent's powerful electric shock. He used his special move to defend against the extremely fast attack. Shallot knew that this was very disadvantageous for him. If he was hit even once, he would be defeated.

But the more this happened, the stronger Farfetch'd's fighting spirit became. His journey with Yuri in the Wild Area, including his training at the Fighting-type Gym afterward, helped him grow further, but ultimately lacked the thrill of walking on the edge of danger.

Gripping his sword and shield tightly, Onion Warrior unleashed his energy rapidly. He had to close the distance before Pazu and Ichigo's attack rhythm ended, and since close combat was a move that abandoned defense to unleash a burst of power.

Onion Soldier secretly praised Yuri's command in his heart, gathered Fighting-type energy between his feet, and launched a simple and brutal straight-line sprint!

The Ultra Beast's attention was entirely focused on the two Pokémon radiating immense power. Even it dared not underestimate that aura, so it raised its hands towards the charging Palmon and Eevee.
