Pokémon from Galar

A dazzling flash of lightning reappeared—the electromagnetic railgun!

Unleashing their most powerful and unrestrained attacks, each more terrifying than the last, the electromagnetic cannon's condensed current leaked uncontrollably, the intense heat from the electric shocks even distorting the surrounding air.

Having already prepared, Ichigo leaped up and landed on Pazu's tail. Then, using Pazu's strength, she rushed in front of Pazu in one breath, and the protective light barrier just managed to solidify, blocking what could have been a fatal blow.

boom--!!!

An even more terrifying explosion rang out on the mountain road. Even though she had withstood the massive electric current, the aftershocks still sent I-chan's small body flying.

Meanwhile, Balu bravely withstood the residual electric current, unleashing his dragon-type energy as if it were free, carrying with him an aura and charging towards the alien beast with unstoppable momentum.

For the alien beast, being hit by a series of instantaneous electric shocks and electromagnetic cannons was still not an easy task. It didn't have time to unleash another powerful attack and could only raise its hands and tail, barely managing a deformed defensive stance.

At the same time, Balu's Dragon Dive arrived in an instant!

Boom! ...

The enormous body slammed the glowing structure on the beast's head into the ground in one blow. The cracked earth and the shockwave made Mary, standing some distance away, feel herself sway a few times.

Just as the smoke and dust swirled, the Onion Soldier's attack arrived right after Balu. The sword light, accompanied by a shockwave, struck the Ultra Beast at a speed invisible to the naked eye, nearly severing its legs.

"Sizzle—!! (You're all going to die!!)"

Two consecutive attacks landed on its body, and the Ultimate Beast was not in a good position either, especially the injuries to its legs. The Beast had almost lost the ability to move. In desperation, the electric current erupted indiscriminately once again.

Discharge!

The two Pokémon, unable to dodge in time, were hit simultaneously.

"A wave of evil!"

Eechan's attack came just in time, barely giving the two Pokémon a chance to escape. Palm endured the surge of electricity, grabbed Sirfetch'd, and quickly fled out of range to avoid further attacks.

The amount of electricity generated by this Ultra Beast was terrifying. In just a few rounds of fighting, the battlefield was already shattered. All the vegetation was destroyed, and the ground and rock walls were cracked and unrecognizable.

However, now that Mary has taken the initiative, the Ultra Beasts that have taken the hits are not only unable to move easily, but their electric output is also not as strong as before.

But the Ultra Beast wasn't so easily subdued. Suddenly, its hands glowed with green light, and it plunged them into the ground, the green energy spreading outwards little by little.

Take root!

Mary, of course, didn't intend to just stand by and watch.

"Dragon Dive! Poison! Silk-chan Magic Flash!"

"Onion Soldiers, take revenge!"

P.S.: Speaking of which, I looked up some information about this handsome guy and found that he only has one Pokémon, a Croagunk, and in the XY games, he mentioned that one of his Pokémon had died. Also, he hasn't played a single Pokémon in Sun & Moon.

Then there's Lila. Lila is said to have been found by the handsome guy and Danmer ten years ago when they were hunting the Ultra Beast Gluttony King. After their mission failed, they found Lila who had lost her memory. If I remember correctly, the Sun and Moon storyline is about ten years after the XY storyline, right?

So, was it that the handsome guy's rascal frog died during the hunt for the Gluttonous King, and then he found Lila, so the handsome guy got Lila into Interpol, and later even teamed up with her?

Although Lila is the handsome guy's boss in Sun and Moon, it's probably because the handsome guy took care of Lila for ten years, so now it's Lila's turn to protect the handsome guy.

Chapter 171 The Head-Banging Clown Who Loves to Perform

Despite the fact that Electabuzz was exhausted, the four Pokémon launched a coordinated attack and finally managed to knock Electabuzz unconscious, making it easy for Marnie to catch the Ultra Ball she threw.

Meanwhile, Lila, who was alone facing another Electric-Beat Wood, also successfully captured it.

Mary glanced around at the three ruined roads, and before she could even sigh, Lila was already in front of her, looking at Mary in her revealing swimsuit and asking:

"Where's Mizuki? Didn't she come with you?"

"No, I came here after receiving a call from Mizuki..."

Mary frowned. There was no reason why Miyuki would arrive later than her. Just as she was about to take out her phone to contact her, Lila was a fraction faster. She took out her communication device and dialed Miyuki's number.

"Miss Mizuki, are you alright?"

"Ah, Miss Lila, I'm sorry to have worried you. Is everything finished on your end? I'm sorry, I encountered a rather strange beast on my way here."

"Which beast is it? What's the situation?"

"The clown with the head on its head is doing alright... It's been putting on a show in the square, and there are quite a few spectators, so I don't dare to make a move."

"I understand. Tell me the location."

Lila nodded, not surprised by the Ultra Beast's strange behavior. Because of the Ultra Survey Team, they had obtained a lot of information about Ultra Beasts, so they knew about Bombardier. This Pokémon was strong, but surprisingly not very dangerous.

Just like his name suggests, he is a natural clown performer. He doesn't need to communicate with words. As long as he has an audience, can perform, and can make the audience feel happy, the clown is satisfied.

Even so, Mizuki didn't dare to leave him alone in the crowd, so she had to stop and stand guard beside him.

Having obtained the location, Lila glanced at Mary. Since the call had been on speakerphone, Mary had overheard the whole thing. She smiled and said:

"go together?"

“No, we need someone to handle Electric Wood’s situation, and we also need to contact Ether Paradise. You go and meet up with Mizuki, and I’ll take Electric Wood to Ether Paradise.”

"Is it alright? The discharge ability of the electric beam wood is a bit too strong."

"Don't worry, the Ultimate Investigation Team is also here."

As Lila said this, she reached out and took the Ultra Ball from Marie's hand. She glanced at the Ultra Ball hanging on Marie's waist as if by accident, and without saying anything more, she turned around, climbed onto Salamence's back, and flew directly towards the sea.

Knowing that Lila had left, Yuri, who had been obediently lying on Xiaochu's back as a background figure, finally spoke:

"Marie, was that guy an Interpol agent? He was so capable! And so handsome!"

"Yes, her name is Lila, and she's very strong."

As she climbed onto Little Chick's back, Mary smiled and hugged Yuri, who was sitting in front of her, then tilted her head and said to Little Chick:

"Let's go to Koniko City!"

"Gah—! (Okay!)"

They flew from Ula Ula Island to Akala Island, where Mari and Yuri landed outside Konikor City. After putting on dresses over their swimsuits, they dared to venture into the city.

The clown's performance was quite popular, drawing large crowds to the square. His amazing acts, combined with his signature moves, created waves of excitement.

Mari quickly found Mizuki standing on the outer perimeter with the Flying Dragon, and then took Yuri over there.

"Ah, Mari and Yuri, you're here. I'm sorry for the previous battle, I couldn't make it in time."

Mizuki, sitting on the back of the Salamence, looked down at the two people walking towards her and apologized with a smile.

"It's alright, you made the right choice. Although the Bang Head Clown is just scaring the audience and feeding on their emotions, we still need to be vigilant."

Yuri and I climbed onto Salamence's back and sat side by side. Then, we watched the performance together. The combination of various Fire-type and Ghost-type moves was quite impressive. If we were to participate in a Grand Contest in another region, Bangbang would definitely be a favorite to win.

These Pokémon are natural performers.

"Actually, it's pretty good. I didn't know where to go with Yuri. You can't just see a performance like this anytime."

Mary leaned against Yuri with a smile, feeling quite relaxed. After all, the Bang-Headed Clown was also marked as a low-danger alien by the Ultimate Investigation Team.

Furthermore, due to its habits, it enjoys performing and is a Pokémon that doesn't like to talk much but prefers to use body language, making it relatively easier to communicate with.

Watching the clown with the banged head pretend to fall, tossing its head high into the air before it explodes in mid-air, bursting into a shower of colorful light, it must have been quite a sight if it were nighttime instead of daytime.

"To be honest... this Pokémon is really bizarre. Who uses their own head as an explosive device?"

Yuri was completely dumbfounded when she saw this amazing scene for the first time. She was especially speechless when she saw the transparent head grow back and be played with by the clown again.

"Hahaha~ After all, it's a Ghost-type Pokémon, so it's bound to have some weird and wonderful abilities."

Mary smiled and explained, then introduced the Pokémon Bombardier to Yuri. Don't be fooled by its flashy but powerless moves on stage; anyone who thinks it's a weak Pokémon is just delusional.

According to the Ultimate Investigation Team's records, the Bang Head Clown's head-exploding move is incredibly powerful. In comparison, the Bang Head Clown's "Big Head Blast" move is nearly 50% more powerful than "Big Flame Burst."

If converted to the power values ​​in this encyclopedia, considering the margin of error, it should be around 150 points, which is a rather terrifying offensive move.

After the introduction, Yuri was quite tempted, but only briefly. Only Mari would dare to actually tame such a dangerous creature as an Ultra Beast and keep it by her side.

In short, although she didn't get to enjoy a swimsuit date on the beach, watching a unique performance here was still pretty good, and Yuri was quite satisfied.

"By the way, aren't you going to let that Nihilego out for some fresh air?"

Mizuki looked down at Mari's waist. She knew what Mari was worried about, but Mizuki felt that Mari didn't need to be so vigilant. After all, Ultra Beasts were still Pokémon.

"Well..."

After thinking for a moment, mainly because Mizuki's main force was right beside her, Mari nodded in agreement with Mizuki's suggestion, took out the Ultimate Ball, and released the slightly different Nihilego along with everyone else to watch the Bang Head Clown's performance.

Chapter 172 The Bang-Headed Clown Wants to Settle Down

After the bang-headed clown's performance ended? Or during the performance? Anyway, Mary couldn't really tell if he was performing or not, or perhaps for the bang-headed clown, it was always a time and a stage for his performance, no matter when or where.

After a grand finale, the clown with the headshot head strode joyfully to Mary and the others. With three Fall characters and an Ultra Beast, it was impossible not to notice them.

Approaching the Salamence, the clown shook his head and gave a gentlemanly bow. Then, with a bowing motion, his spherical head landed, and he pretended to panic, reaching out his hands and lifting his feet, swaying his head in mid-air in a high arc before finally landing steadily on his neck.

Overall, it's a Pokémon with a very strong desire to perform.

Mary thought for a moment, then jumped off the Salamence, holding the tentacle of the floating Nihilego in her hand, and asked with a smile:

"Did you come all this way to see us for something?"

The clown with the banged head made exaggerated gestures to indicate his affirmation, then made a puzzled gesture. After a series of jumping around, Mary was still a little confused, but Mizuki unexpectedly understood what he meant.

"Are you saying you know our purpose, but you want to stay in this world?"

Before Mary could repeat herself, the clown with the banged head understood Meiyue's meaning perfectly, and no one knew how he understood it.

However, now is not the time to consider this issue. Mary turned her head to look at Mizuki. The clown with the bang head wanted to stay in this world, and Mizuki's opinion was quite important.

"Mary, what do you think?"

Mary glanced at the clown with the banged head who was now teasing the two little dragons, and then at the nihilistic creature she was holding by the hand.

“I think it’s worth considering. Isn’t Lila and the others’ strategy to join forces with the Ether Foundation to avoid being wiped out? It’s risky, but it’s not impossible to try.”

Mizuki nodded. Her only worry was that Bang-headed Clown was different from Mary's Nihilistic Clown. He was very strong, and even Mizuki herself was not comfortable leaving him in the town.

"Let's go find the Guardian Spirit. It's better to let Tapu and the others decide on Pokémon matters."

After thinking for a while, Mizuki had a sudden inspiration and realized that Bombshell was a Pokémon, and it was more appropriate for the Guardians to decide on Pokémon matters.

The guardian spirit of Akara Island is Tapu Lele... Well, Marie thought about her memories of Tapu Lele and maybe she would actually agree.

Having decided on the method, Mizuki planned to take the clown with the head to find the island king, while Mari and Yuri would follow along, intending to broaden their horizons. Strictly speaking, Mari still owed the Tapus a life-saving favor, and she should at least express her gratitude.

Watching Bombshell, who was already mingling with the Pokémon, walking beside her, Mary wondered what Bombshell would be like if he really stayed. Would he become a street performer, or join an entertainment company and appear on a bigger stage and screen?

The clown with the head almost never speaks, relying entirely on his performances to convey meaning. Therefore, Mary has no idea what he experienced in his original world or what he discovered here that prompted him to decide to stay.
