Pokémon from Galar

Just as predicted, the Seirin, unable to dodge in time, withstood the attack, which was still manageable.

Mizuki pouted. "A wet body, oh, troublesome. Why isn't it sticky?"

"Powerful whipping!"

Having quickly shaken off the negative status, Goodra, intending to press her advantage, swung her arm, and the vine whip that had been limply dragging on the ground was once again whipped out with a sonic boom. After drawing a huge arc in mid-air, it slashed towards Primarina again!

"Magic Flash!"

Despite its speed, Mizuki believed that Seishin would definitely be able to withstand the opponent's attack this time.

In fact, Primarina had been paying some attention to the whip that had been flung away, and the moment it saw the whip disappear, Primarina took action.

Bang bang—!

With a sonic boom, the Primarina raised its head, and another dazzling and thick magical light erupted into the air, engulfing the vine whip that had not yet fallen.

However, Primarina did not end her attack. A magical flash, like a physical lightsaber, was instantly sliced ​​down along the trajectory of the vine whip, silently tracing a graceful arc in mid-air before landing on Goodra.

The ground along the path affected by the beam of light was also destroyed!

Boom! Boom!

With the sound of the ground shattering, Goodra was hit head-on for the first time in this battle and was unsurprisingly blasted away by the beam of light, crashing heavily into the protective shield behind her.

The battle fell into a brief silence.

Even with Goodra's excellent Special Defense, being hit head-on by Dazzling Magic is by no means an easy task.

……

"Oh dear—this is going to be tough for Cibana."

In the audience, Sonia watched Goodra, whose performance had clearly declined significantly. Although she didn't know Raihana's specific team composition, Raihana could only choose a limited number of Pokémon.

Considering the Corydoras that has already appeared, the only one that can adapt to rainy weather is probably Goodra. Next, they will probably have to tough it out in the unfavorable weather and try to get Primarina out of the game quickly.

As for Pokémon capable of doing this...

Cibana is not without its own advantages.

P.S.: I've finished writing the first battle in three chapters, so I can skip the rest of the battles in the next chapter. Then, the story of the Radiant God of Alola will begin!

P.S.: Actually, I didn't originally intend to exaggerate the strength of Raihana and Mizuki. It's just that while I was writing, I suddenly remembered that they were going to fight Necrozma next. Considering the legendary Pokémon's prestige, I've already restrained myself from writing that they destroyed the arena during the fight... In fact, I'm starting to worry that I might have underestimated their strength a bit in the past.

terribly sorry!

I spent the whole day running around to study abroad agencies and real estate sales offices, so I probably won't have time to update. Sorry (*__)

One hundred characters ...

Chapter 262 Gardevoir Mega Stone

The battle between Kibana and Mizuki was more intense than any audience member could have imagined, because Leon never used his full strength in exhibition matches except for Charizard.

So after watching the entire match with bated breath, the audience suddenly realized that the impromptu match they were watching today was almost as exciting as, or even more so than, the annual championship exhibition match.

Furthermore, because of Mizuki's victory, Dante also seemed eager to try his luck.

Unfortunately, as a workaholic, he still had a lot of work to do, and Mizuki couldn't stay in Galar for more than a few days, so the challenge between the two champions had to be dropped.

Of course, this matter had little to do with Mary. She had other things to worry about. For some reason, Nie Zi rushed to Mary's side that very night after learning that Mary was staying in Motostoke and that she was going to Alola.

That night, Mary, who had already washed up and planned to lazily play on her phone and watch TV in her hotel room, had no choice but to put on her coat and leave the room after receiving a call from her brother.

With her hair down, Mary led Yi-chan outside the hotel and immediately spotted Nie Zi alone.

"elder brother--"

Mari rubbed her fingers together, quickened her pace, and called out to Nie Zi.

"Ah."

Nie Zi nodded, then stared at Mary's face without saying a word. Her already sleep-deprived, dead fish eyes looked even more oppressive.

"...I'm sorry! I took it upon myself again!"

Mary isn't afraid of anyone, not even champions or vicious criminals, but when it comes to her own brother, she always chickens out quickly.

Listening to his sister's apology, which seemed to show no remorse whatsoever, Nie Zi sighed and raised his hand to rub his temples.

"Here, take this."

After calming herself down a bit, Nie Zi took out a nicely designed pendant from her pocket and handed it over.

"—!"

The moment Mary saw the pendant, her breathing quickened. She eagerly reached out and took the pendant, her thumb touching the translucent, perfectly round evolution stone, which finally gave her a real sense of its reality.

"I was planning to give you Gardevoir's Mega Stone after you broke through to Battlegrounds and returned home."

"Thank you, brother!"

"Ugh……"

Nie Zi sighed, then said:

"Even so, you should know what kind of monster you are going to face this time. Don't think that just because you have the Mega Stone you have the strength to participate directly, unless you have the strength of your friend."

"I know my place. I'm not going there to be a combatant."

Mary was aware of this as well. With her current strength, she was definitely not capable of directly intervening in the affairs of the Radiant God, even if the Radiant God had awakened from a long slumber and was greatly weakened.

Seeing Mary nodding obediently, Nie Zi couldn't help but raise his hand and rub Mary's head repeatedly.

"Can't you just give me a break! Everyone else would avoid such dangerous things like the plague, but you're actively going into them!"

"I'll be careful! You can't give up halfway through something!"

Mary, who was being rubbed and shaken by Nie Zi's large hands, tried to resist, but could not break free from those evil hands. By the time Nie Zi let go, Mary's beautiful hair had become a mess.

glaring indignantly at her brother, Mary pouted but couldn't utter a rebuttal.

The more experiences you have, the faster you become stronger.

If you don't actively participate in these things, and just take your trip step by step, comfortably enjoying the gym challenges, then when the elimination rounds end and Mugentsuna appears, Mari won't have enough strength to participate.

Leon has his incredibly powerful partner who has been with him all this time, and Yuri and Hop have the help of the Sword and Shield duo, but what does Marie have? She can't really let that Solgaleo fight to the death for her, after all, it's not her Pokémon.

Does she have to stand at the foot of the tower and watch Yuri go to face the wrath of heaven, just like she remembers?

She just didn't know how to explain these reasons to Nie Zi. Did she have a premonition that Wujitana would cause trouble in the future?

The brother and sister stared at each other in silence for a while before Mary finally changed the subject.

"I heard you've taken on a lot of work from Qibana lately? What kind of work is it?"

"Why does that bastard, Chibana, tell you everything?"

Nie Zi frowned. He had recently been doing a lot of work related to those remnants of the party. The two Pokémon hunters from other regions who had suddenly appeared were a bit suspicious. There was a possibility that foreign forces were involved. He had been investigating this recently.

But these are things that ordinary people like Mary can't easily reveal, except to their owner and some police officers.

He raised his hand and tapped his younger sister on the head.

"Don't ask me about work. Kids should just go and challenge the dojos."

"……mean!"

Although Mary continued to complain, she knew that some work-related matters were indeed inconvenient to discuss, so she didn't press the matter further.

"Ha... I'll be going now. I've given you the things. Mary, you should get some rest too."

"Yeah, bro, take care of yourself and don't die from overwork."

Nie Zi yawned, looking sleep-deprived, said goodbye to Mary, and headed towards the arena.

Mary stood there gazing at the Mega Stone at the moon for a long time before returning to her room with a big smile on her face.

"I'm back--"

"Ah, welcome back, Mary! Did something fun happen?"

Yuri waved to Mary at the door and then saw her smiling face.

Taking off her shoes, Mary walked barefoot to the bedside and showed the things she was holding.

"My brother just gave me a Gardevoir Mega Stone!"

"oh oh--!"

Yuri immediately became interested, and Mizuki seemed to be the same, joining in as well.

"Want to try it now?"

Mizuki glanced at Suzu, who was sucking Ichigo's breath next to her. Suzu also had a Mega Evolution in her team, but she hadn't gotten the Mega Stone yet and would probably have to wait a few more days.

"Now? In the room?"

Mary blinked and tilted her head in confusion.

"Just stay in the room. Mega Evolution isn't as noisy as Dynamax."

Mizuki explained with a smile that aside from the slightly exaggerated lighting effects, the commotion during Mega Evolution is actually quite small.

Chapter 263 Excitement

"Um... I'll give it a try then."

Since Mizuki had said so, and Mari herself was also quite interested in giving it a try, she waved to Su-chan next to her.

"Silk sauce".

"Sha~? (What is it?)"

As Sis walked over to Mary, she noticed the pendant inlaid with mega stones that was displayed in front of her.

Do you like the style?

"Sha~ (It's alright, I guess~)"

After all, it was Nie Zi who picked out the style, which probably suited Mary's aesthetic, but might not suit Si Jiang's.

Sensing Sis's tone keenly, Mary smiled and placed the pendant in Sis's palm, then said:

"Next time I'll take you to get a new look that you like. This time, let's see if we can successfully evolve."

"Shh~ (Mmm~)"
