Pokémon from Galar

Upon noticing Lillie's sudden arrival, Mizuki led Nebula over with a smile, figuring there was no need to constantly monitor Pokémon training anyway.

"Come over and relax a bit. I've been studying a lot lately and got kicked out."

Lillie waved her hand with a smile, indicating that it was nothing serious.

"Speaking of which, is Miss Lila still in Alora?"

"They're still there, I think. They said they were just making a final check to make sure there weren't any missed beasts, but I guess the mission is almost over."

Lillie nodded. After all, she wasn't a formal trainer, so she had only helped with the Ultra Beasts once before by using Nebula's abilities, and her actual combat skills were still very weak.

Marie stretched and watched her Pokémon train leisurely with Yuri. Her Z-Bracelet was inlaid with a Water-type Z-Crystal. After battling Guzzlord, she worked hard for two more days and successfully established connections with all her Pokémon.

Pazu successfully used the Dragon-type Z-Move he had been longing for, but unfortunately, the Overlord Aura seemed to conflict with the Z-Move. When using the Z-Move, the Overlord Aura was noticeably weakened.

Moreover, after using it, the aura of the overlord clearly subsided for a while before returning to its previous intensity.

This left Marie with mixed feelings. She had been thinking that if she used the Overlord Aura and Z-Move together, it would definitely be an incredibly powerful trump card. However, it seemed that things weren't going as planned, and Marie's desire to challenge the Overlord Pokémon to obtain a Z Crystal also diminished considerably.

However, this phenomenon gave Dr. Kukui and others a new research direction, because before Marnie, there was no experience of a Totem Pokémon being captured, and no one knew what would happen when Totem Aura and Z-Moves were combined.

This phenomenon was not very pleasant for Mary, but it was extremely attractive to the scholars.

But another happy thing is that both Xiao Qiu and Xiao Mo have the same seed in their bodies as Si Jiang, and Xiao Qiu has indeed successfully activated her domineering aura.

However, when it was Xiao Mo's turn, it was only half activated before inexplicably dissipating. When Mary was in a telepathic connection with Xiao Mo, she vaguely felt that it was mostly a matter of strength.

However, there's no rush. Since Xiao Mo can't quickly improve her strength through evolution, she can only maintain daily training to gradually become stronger, which is something that can't be helped.

The only one that hasn't been confirmed yet is the Ball Ball sea lion. After all, it's only been a few days since it was born, and we haven't even decided on a name yet. It also has some difficulty speaking, so there's no way it can communicate with anyone.

That being said, Mary thought the chances of Ball-Ball Sea Lion succeeding were slim, considering he was still an egg when he underwent the ceremony...

Marie is currently worried about whether Dynamax Energy and Z-Energy will conflict. Although Marie often says that Dynamax is not as useful as Dominator Aura, it is, after all, a specialty of her hometown. If she can't use it, she will still feel a little regretful.

Kyon has been diligently learning the language of the Pokémon in this world. Fortunately, he also possesses some psychic abilities, making the learning process less difficult. He has managed to understand some fragmented phrases.

Meanwhile, it was floating nearby, chatting with some passing Pokémon. Because the conversation was too simple, Marnie listened for a short while and then stopped paying attention and let it go.

However, he held a semi-transparent tentacle of Kyon in his hand to prevent the guy from getting too cocky and flying too far.

She pinched the soft yet resilient tentacles with her fingers; they were cool to the touch. If she could wrap them around her body, they would be quite refreshing. However, having been bound like this before, Mary was a little worried.

"Ugh~ (So tired~ When can training start~)"

After studying for half a day, Kyon floated back along the tentacles, then slumped his transparent head on Mary's shoulder like a pool of liquid, looking like a lump of jelly.

He raised his hand and patted the incredibly bouncy head, saying with a smile:

"What's the rush? I'm not forcing you to become powerful."

"Ugh~ (But I want to get stronger, at least as strong as that Nihilego that carried me through the Ultimate Cave.)"

"That's still a long way off. Training time is calculated in years, so it won't take up your time these few days."

"Oh~ (I know, I just wanted to complain a little.)"

My Pokémon View of Me is a Little Bit Strange

Synopsis: She excitedly gave orders to her fighting servants. Her voice uttered eerie sounds like magical incantations, seemingly concealing malevolent melodies from another world. The solidified esters covering her body rose and fell with her voice, the dust rising from her decaying flesh shimmering like stars in the dim light of humanity's only glimmer.

She's not a monster, just a trainer who's battling in a Pokémon game...

"The believer is delighted to add one more."

"Don't talk about other people like evil gods, okay?"

"I'm a Little Bit Strange in Pokémon's Eyes"

Chapter 179 The Return, and Nie Zi's Lesson

Outside Marie's temporary residence in Alola, an Ultra Hole suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then a Solgaleo and a Lunala emerged from it and landed on the beach below.

With the Ultra Beast problem solved, Mari and Yuri didn't plan to linger and, after learning how to use Meteor Shower, immediately set off back to their own world.

Of course, just like before, Mizuki forcibly dragged Lillie to this world, saying she wanted to see two Lillie and enjoy double the happiness.

"Wow—it really is in the same location as my house! If it weren't for the different decor, I would have thought we went around in the Ultimate Cave and came back here."

Mizuki took Lillie's hand and got off Lunay's back, then looked at the wooden house in front of her and sighed.

"Is this another world...? To be honest, I don't feel any difference at all."

Lillie wrinkled her pretty nose and looked around the beach. The scenery was familiar, and although the details were certainly different, the atmosphere was exactly the same.

"Alright, let's go inside and rest. Do you two want to take a nap? It's almost your usual bedtime."

Marie waved goodbye to Solgaleo, who had returned to the Ultra Hole, and then smiled at Mizuki and Lillie, who were curiously looking around at their surroundings.

"That's true, Mary, what about you guys?"

Lillie nodded. She had been a little sleepy before setting off, but the excitement of the new world had kept her awake, and she looked quite energetic now.

"I need to contact Dr. Kukui first. I need to tell him about my return and your situation. Yuri, why don't you go and get some sleep too?"

"Ha... umm, I got it, then hurry up."

Yuri raised her hand and yawned, then led Mizuki and Lillie into the house, while Mari switched to the phone card of this world and dialed Dr. Kukui's number.

"Oh, Mary, you're back!"

"Hmm, just got home. Did I miss Dr. Kukui's wedding?"

"Haha~ It won't be that fast. There's a lot to prepare. It'll take at least a few more days to get things ready."

Hearing Dr. Kukui say that on the other end of the phone, Mari was relieved, and then said:

"Oh, right, I also brought two friends with me this time. One is Mizuki, the champion from over there, and the other is Lillie."

"Huh? Lillie? The champion?"

Dr. Kukui was clearly taken aback by the amount of information conveyed in that statement. Putting aside the champion, he hadn't expected that Marie would bring Lillie along.

"Hmm... She's exactly the same Lillie you know, Professor Kukui, except the Pokémon she caught are different. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting."

As she said this, a smile appeared on Mary's face, and Dr. Kukui couldn't help but laugh when he heard the smile in Mary's voice, even though he was more concerned about the champion's strength.

"Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer, Mary. Remember to come to class tomorrow."

"Okay, I got it. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Mary stretched and then dialed her brother's video call. The notification sound rang twice, and the projected screen lit up, showing her brother's face, which looked as sleepy as ever.

"Marie?"

"Ah, brother, it's been a long time."

Mary raised her hand to greet him without noticing, and then saw Nie Zi's slightly surprised face quickly darken.

"...You still know to contact me? You've grown up, huh? You've got some nerve, huh? You dared to get involved in such a dangerous thing?! And you dared to let Sonia keep it from me? Did you think I would never have known my sister almost died in the Ultimate Hole if I hadn't investigated?"

"...Yes, I'm sorry."

Mary's face stiffened, her eyes darting around, avoiding her brother's gaze. In her mind, she kept wondering how her brother had gotten in touch with her and found out about her... It didn't make sense, how could her brother know anyone from Alora?

"Apologizing now? What were you doing all this time? You've been back for over half a month and only now you think to contact your older brother? Huh?"

"Um...I...I was wrong, I won't do it again next time..."

"Alright, why are you being so fierce? Go away, go away, can't you say something nice... Hey, Mary-chan~ Is everything resolved?"

Seeing Sonia suddenly appear on the screen, Mary secretly glanced at Nie Zi, who had been squeezed to the side, and smiled awkwardly, saying:

"Yes, it's resolved. After attending Dr. Kukui's wedding, it'll be about time to head back."

"That's great! You have no idea how your brother suddenly showed up before, he was so eager to eat me alive."

"...By the way, brother, there's something I want to ask you..."

Shrinking her neck, Mary cautiously glanced at Nie Zi in the corner of the screen.

"what's up?"

"I would like to trouble you to take care of Balu and the others for me. Xiao Zuo has evolved recently, so we need to send them to the Wilderness for a while."

"Oh? They evolved so quickly? Great, when can I teleport them over?"

"Probably tonight, I'll contact you then."

Nie Zi nodded in agreement, and just when Mary thought the matter was resolved, Nie Zi suddenly spoke up:

"When you get back, come home and I'll have a proper talk with you. That's all for now, I'm hanging up."

Before Mary could react, Nie Zi hung up the call, leaving Mary looking utterly dejected and letting out a long sigh…

Composing herself, Mary went back into the house, lamenting that she was probably going to get a scolding.

She first went to check on the guest room, greeted Mizuki and Lillie, and then returned to her own room to find Yuri already sitting on the bed.

"Are you done?"

"Yeah, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'll wait for you to come with me."

Yuri covered her mouth and yawned, then waved to Mari.

"What's the rush? It'll only take a few minutes."

Laughing and teasing, Mary untied the Poké Ball from her waist, placed it on the table beside her, then took off her slippers, changed out of her dress, and sat on the bed.

How high is the air conditioning on?

“16°”

"...Don't forget to transfer him up."

"Hehe, no way."

Mary pulled back the covers and shrank inside. She glared at Yuri, who was grinning. Although she knew Yuri was complaining about the heat in the room, they were both sleepy. What if they forgot to adjust the temperature while they were dozing off?

Yuri reached out and hugged Mary's waist, then kicked her legs to get closer to Mary, asking with a smile:

"Are we really going to send Balu, Xiao Zuo, and Xiao Yu back to Galar first?"

"Of course, I've already contacted my brother, it's been dragging on for quite a few days."
