Pokémon from Galar

"Capture? Should we capture them?"

"Because the Ultra Sluice Gates in the Alola region are easy to open, according to the information provided by Marnie, aren't many of those Ultra Beasts lost and wandered in? If they wandered in..."

"We need to send them back to their original world. This might be the best option. We hope everyone can help us do this."

Miss Bee and Chairwoman Lusamine's voices rang out alternately. The information from another world alerted them, and the Ultimate Metropolis and the Radiant God were things they had to consider.

"Please, everyone, the appearance of the Ultimate Defense Force will definitely help protect Alola."

"Protect Alola...?"

"I'll help!"

"Pikachu?"

"Me too."

"Me too!"

……

Clearly, this kind of thing is incredibly attractive to young people, and everyone eagerly agreed.

Mary, holding Yuri's hand, stood to the side, feeling a little regretful. This kind of thing was quite interesting, wasn't it? It was just a pity she didn't have the time.

"This kind of thing seems really interesting, Mary-chan."

Yuri quietly leaned closer and whispered in Mary's ear, but the warm breath made Mary feel a little itchy, and she subconsciously shrank her neck, saying helplessly:

Why are you suddenly whispering to me?

"hey-hey……"

"Well, there's nothing we can do. We're going back to Galar soon, and we have things to do too."

"That's true."

Mary thought for a moment and then added:

"When Mao and the others are on vacation, we can invite them to Galar. And next time they come, maybe you, Yuri, can try out the island pilgrimage."

"Um...is it okay? I've heard it's not easy for outsiders, right?"

"Probably, if you ask Dr. Kukui."

Mari wasn't too sure either. Maybe it's possible. She'd ask Dr. Kukui later.

Beside the two of them, Mizuki, mimicking Yuri's method, leaned close to Lillie's ear and whispered:

"As expected, the chairman of this world and Lillie's mother give off a different vibe."

"Yeah, that's true, but it's pretty good, isn't it?"

Lillie smiled as she looked at Lusamine and Lillie in this world. It was clear that the relationship between the mother and daughter in this world was much gentler and more harmonious. If it were her past self, she might have been jealous.

But that's no longer the case.

"Yes, they're quite easy to talk to..."

A smile suddenly appeared on Mizuki's face. She had a particularly deep impression of the scene where both Lillie were being held and rubbed in Lusamine's arms at the same time.

Hearing the amused tone, Lillie's face flushed slightly, and she glared at Mizuki with a somewhat fierce look, though it lacked real power.

Chapter 184 Departure and Farewell

"Yuri, have you packed everything?"

With her backpack on, Mary peeked into the house at Yuri. Today was the day they were scheduled to leave Alola.

"Right away! Right away! Hehehe~"

Yuri, a little slow, trotted over carrying her backpack and holding Little Six-Tail, a somewhat goofy smile on her face. Mari smiled helplessly, walked past Yuri, closed the door to the room, and locked it. Then she led Yuri outside.

"Let's go, we still need to go to the Pokémon School to say goodbye to them."

"Hehe~ I'm suddenly a little reluctant to part with it."

Scratching her head, Yuri quickly followed, and the two walked together towards the Pokémon School.

Since they had plenty of time on their flight, the two of them weren't in a hurry. They strolled around leisurely, taking in the scenery they were starting to get used to.

"Hey, little girl!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Marie raised an eyebrow, turned around, and saw Team Rocket dressed as tourists. She was about to speak when Yuri, very honestly, blurted out without thinking:

"Who?"

"—!"

Mary was stunned for a moment, and before she could cover Yuri's mouth, she saw the three immortals opposite her suddenly tear off their coats!

"Since you've asked so sincerely, 'Who?'..."

"Then we will mercifully inform you of our great names!"

Before Mary could even react, the three fairies instantly transformed and struck their entrance poses.

"A face as beautiful as a flower, a waist as slender as a willow, a beauty that shames even the moon and flowers, a wicked flower blooming in the illusory world, Musashi!"

"Soaring like a dragon through the clouds, dashing and heroic, Kojiro rebels against the evil apostle in this world of misery!"

"Born from the same lotus, sharing joys and sorrows, the glittering little gold coin is also the evil star of our close companion, meow meow meow!"

"Rockets, here we come!"

"As expected—hiss—! (Reporting!)"

Yuri, stunned by the lyrics that had just been sung, turned to look at Mary with a face full of confusion, as if asking if they were people Mary knew.

"...?"

"...Um, well."

Marie twitched her lips, avoiding Yuri's gaze, and instead of answering the question, she looked at the three Team Rocket members who had returned to their normal positions and asked:

"What? Did you call me over because you need something?"

"Is the little girl leaving, meow?"

"Yes, my flight is at noon today."

Mary nodded without denying it, and it was unclear where they got such accurate information.

After receiving confirmation, Musashi tilted his head, clicked his tongue, and slapped Kojiro on the back. Kojiro staggered forward, smiled wryly, and tossed him a paper bag.

Mary casually caught the bag and looked down. It was a food truck packaging bag from their restaurant. It felt warm to the touch, probably bread that had just come out of the oven.

"What are you doing? Are you here to deliver something else to me?"

"Hmph, consider this your information fee, brat. Thanks to you, our Team Rocket's next target is Ultra Beasts!"

Musashi raised his hand and waved, looking excited and enthusiastic. Mary, on the other hand, had a very subtle expression. When had she given them any information? Blinking, Mary thought for a moment, and then gradually realized what was happening.

The existence of Ultra Beasts should not be unfamiliar to the League, but all the information they have received indicates that they are extremely dangerous, aggressive, and impossible to tame.

Perhaps because they encountered Mary as a special case, these three immortals received some instructions after reporting it.

As for whether that was really the case, Mari didn't bother to ask further. Were Ultra Beasts really that easy to catch...?

"Alright, I'll accept it for now."

Marie smiled, stuffed the bread into Yuri's backpack, and then waved to the Team Rocket trio.

"Goodbye then, Musashi, Kojiro, Meowth, and Wobbuffet. I'll visit your bakery next time I have the chance. Goodbye."

After saying that, without caring about Team Rocket's reaction, he took Yuri's hand and turned to leave. Sometimes I really don't know how to evaluate these three comedians. Although they are villains, surprisingly, it's not easy to feel any ill will towards them.

Although I will still beat them when they deserve it.

Yuri, who had been quietly watching the whole thing, turned around and glanced at Team Rocket, who were playfully fighting. She frowned and asked curiously:

"Who are they? Isn't Team Rocket a terrorist organization from the Kanto region?"

"Yeah, it's Team Rocket. If Yuri runs into them next time, remember to stay alert and don't hesitate to take action if necessary."

"Huh?! Then—Marie, you still act like you're on very good terms with them?!"

"Which eye of yours saw me getting along well with them? I've already prepared my domineering aura and am ready to take action at any time, okay?"

He raised the Z-Bracelet in his hand, which was surrounded by a few traces of pale golden energy. It was clear that he had already established contact with someone in the Poké Ball and was ready to take action at any time.

"...So what's going on with them? They even gave you bread."

"How should I describe them... In short, they can be really bad when they're bad, but they're basically useless, and sometimes they inexplicably seem like good people. Well... In short, they're the kind of people you need to be wary of, but there's no need to take direct action against them."

"..."

Hearing Mary's explanation, Yuri's expression became increasingly subtle, and her gaze towards Mary grew strange. Such a complicated evaluation, and you still say you don't get along with them?!

Mary also felt that she didn't know how to explain it clearly, so she simply stopped talking about it. In short, after telling Yuri not to let her guard down if she saw it, she gave up on explaining.

Of course, this little incident was completely forgotten after the two arrived at the Pokémon School.

"You must come to Alola again next time, Marie! I'll make some new dishes for you to try!"

"Yes, they will definitely come."

"Let's go sea fishing together next time, and catch Kyogre then."

"That will probably take a long time."

Let's battle again next time!

"Me too, I look forward to playing against you again next time."

Kiawe and Ash continued their battle of wits as always, though Marnie didn't dislike it.

"I'll take you to my cousin's observatory to see the stars sometime in the future; it's very beautiful there!"

"Great! I heard there's a chance to see Pokémon like Little Meteorite there."

Finally, it was Lillie, who looked at Mary with her hands clenched into fists, somewhat awkwardly.

"Me too... Let's go visit Ditto together at Etherland next time."

Mary blinked, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said:

“Sure, if Lillie invites me, I’ll definitely come right away.”
