Pokémon from Galar

Mary propped her head up with her left hand, turned her head to the side, and said with a smile.

As a result, Yuri's face turned red again.

"What—how would you know... I, I didn't!"

"Okay, don't be shy, there's no one else here."

Marie raised her hand and ruffled Yuri's hair before smiling and looking away, turning her gaze back to her Pokémon.

"Everyone, look over here. There are some things I want to tell you."

Mary raised her right hand, palm up, to signal everyone to look over. With a slight thought, a soft, radiant golden light slowly appeared on Mary's palm, right in front of Yuri.

"what is this?"

Seeing this, Yuri forgot her shyness and boldly reached out to touch the ball of light. However, she only felt a little warmth and did not feel any solid object.

"Light."

Mary smiled and said:

"Light from the glorious god."

"Eh—did the great god of light leave this for you specifically?"

"Well, not only that, I also learned some very interesting things."

Mary nodded, but did not intend to explain her experience in detail, and quickly changed the subject.

"What is it?"

Yuri looked at Xiao Mo, who was curiously probing Mary's hand, and patted Xiao Mo's head, asking him this question.

"The method of how the Radiant God became a legend."

"Huh? What do you mean? Didn't the Radiant God become a legend because he created the world?"

"I mean, how to make Pokémon achieve that. Yuri, do you know the three legendary birds of the Kanto region?"

"Of course, and doesn't Galar also have the legend of the three legendary birds?"

"Yes, but according to many records, there have been ridiculously strong individuals among the three divine birds, as well as very ordinary individuals. The strength of their groups varies greatly, to an unbelievable degree."

Is there a problem with this...?

"That's the problem. Pokémon power growth has a limit, which is limited by their racial talents. In many experimental records and complex calculations, this peak is the highest recorded for pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but even the highest calculated result is far from comparable to those legendary Pokémon."

"The problem with the three divine birds is that, according to some experiments and calculations, their peak power should theoretically be inferior to that of a quasi-god like Balu. However, in fact, the existing records of the three divine birds show that their power far exceeds the calculated peak power."

"And that algorithm, apart from these legendary Pokémon, has almost never made a mistake in its calculations, and even if it has, the error is very small; this means that if the problem is not with that algorithm, then the cause may lie with the legendary Pokémon."

Mary talked for a long time, which Yuri didn't quite understand.

So what does the result mean...?

Hearing Yuri's question, Mari smiled indulgently and manipulated the ball of light to tease Mo.

"The reason why Pokémon can become so powerful is because they have a way to break through this limit, continue to grow, and keep getting stronger until they completely distance themselves from ordinary Pokémon."

"Eh……"

Marnie looked up at her Pokémon and continued:

"And Yuri, do you know that these methods to break limits have actually existed all around us for a long time?"

"Huh? Wait... do you mean Dynamax?"

"Yes, Dynamax, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Overlord Aura are all examples of these, but they are all inferior versions."

The light in Mary's hand dissipated, and she reached out and grabbed Mo's two little arms. She looked around at her Pokémon and said:

"I'm sorry, the light I can control right now is still very weak, not enough to transform all of you, so I plan to have Xiao Mo be the first one to receive it, is that alright?"

“Eh…?”

Mo, who had been having fun, paused for a moment and looked up to meet Mary's eyes.

"Ee~ (I have no objection.)"

"Hmph~ (Me too, let's help him improve his strength first.)"

Mary's decision did not encounter any opposition.

"Thank you. I promise that you will all become legends in the future, in the name of trainers."

After finishing their business, Mary adjusted Ji-chan's training plan and then let everyone return to their training areas, leaving only Xiao Mo by her side.

Yuri also stood up, looking like she was about to go somewhere, which caught Mari's attention.

"I'm going to check on how my Pokémon training is going. Honestly... I've been here for so long and they haven't even come to check on me."

As Yuri said this, she waved to Mary and walked deeper into the training area, leaving Mary and Mo sitting there alone.

"Just... (Are you really going to let me do this...? I clearly...)"

Compared to the carefree attitude of the others, Xiao Mo became awkward and hesitant.

"You've been troubled, haven't you, Xiao Mo? You're just as hardworking as anyone else, but you can't keep up with their progress. I know that, I've always known that."

Lowering its head, it rubbed its cheek against Mo's face. There was no chance of evolution. In the team, there were only Mo and Kyon. However, Nicholas's talent was already quite strong, and he didn't need to evolve to improve. But Mo was different.

The differences in talent between races are just that unreasonable.

"Just... (um...)"

Lying in the comforting embrace, Xiao Mo snuggled closer. He had always known that his talent was limited and that no matter how hard he tried in the future, he would find it difficult to become a main attacker on his own.

Everyone probably sensed Xiao Mo's unwillingness to give up, which is why they cooperated and gave him the opportunity.

Mary raised her hand, and the light reappeared. She looked at Xiao Mo with serious eyes.

"This is your evolution, Mo. From today onwards, the limitations that bind your talents will no longer exist. You will definitely become a Pokémon that can stand on its own, I promise."

“Hmm!”

A sense of anticipation, unlike anything he had ever felt before, welled up in Xiao Mo's heart. This was an evolution that Mary had personally given him; he was moved, but also filled with excitement.

Mary pinched Xiao Mo's ear, then pushed the ball of light with her right hand and slowly pressed it against Xiao Mo's stomach. Immediately afterwards, the light inside her body began to flow into Xiao Mo's body in an orderly manner from her right palm, quickly and gently reshaping Xiao Mo's body.

At this moment, the control honed by the Radiant God was revealed. If it were still the previous Mary, even with her current power, she would not be able to do such delicate things on her own.

Now, Mari even has the energy to spare some attention to talk to Muktana.

'I can't believe you actually did it! Necrozma actually taught you something so important?!'

The voice that rang in her ears was filled with shock and disbelief, which made Mary quite curious. It was the first time she had ever heard Wujitai have such a strong emotional fluctuation.

"I never thought I would get something so valuable, but thanks to Him, I now know what you're planning to do. No wonder you want the light of the Radiant God."

'Congratulations, you guessed right, but I'm not exactly lying. Essentially, I am indeed seeking resurrection.'

“I don’t intend to pursue this matter with you. This method is too precious. I can’t understand the actions of the Radiant God. I even doubt whether I am a descendant of the Radiant God.”

Mary made a little joke, then laughed to herself.

"...Strictly speaking, you're already practically the daughter of the Radiant God in your current state. Don't you know what you'll become in the future?"

"Uh……"

Mary, slightly annoyed, twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Eternatus. If I'm not mistaken, Dynamax is the product of your failed research, right? Otherwise, you would never have turned into this monstrous state."

"It's not exactly a research failure, it's just incomplete. Look, haven't quite a few evolutionary forms appeared?"

For some reason, when this topic came up, Mukyuu's tone changed subtly, as if she was unwilling to admit defeat.

"You mean Gigantamax? But some Gigantamax forms are more like degenerates..."

That's why it's unfinished! Can't you even listen to me?

"Fine……"

Marie nodded slightly. Anyway, she didn't understand Dynamax, so whatever Eternatus said was fine with her.

"Marie, your growth has exceeded my expectations, so I'll get straight to the point and say, let's make a deal. You're qualified now."

Chapter 278 Eterna's Thoughts and Mizuki's Changes

"trade?"

Mary paused for a moment,

"You mean what I promised you before? Don't worry, I'll give you the light you promised."

"No, it's not about that. It's a new deal. I have a new idea, but I need your help, Mary. If it succeeds, the time required for your plan will be significantly reduced."

As soon as Mujita spoke, he got to the point: Mari did indeed have the method, but due to the current human body, collecting enough light would be a very long process.

It's far from something that can be accomplished in ten or twenty years, and Mary herself knows this.

"Tell me about it?"

"If I can utilize Necrozma's light, my resurrection will proceed more smoothly. Consequently, I'll prioritize helping you evolve Corviknight. Using my power as a foundation will save you a lot of time, won't it, Marnie?"

"Are you so sure that your plan will succeed after obtaining the power of the Radiant God? You've already failed once."

It was a tempting plan, but Mary remained skeptical. It would save time but also take risks. If it failed, Mary wasn't sure she could pull Little Bird back from the brink of death.

"...I know what you're worried about, but I definitely want to succeed more than you do, Mary. In all these long years, I can't afford a third chance."

After a brief moment of thought, Mary raised her left hand, placing her fingertips on the pendant hanging on her chest, and a ray of light entered it.

"Let's hold off on this for now. I need to see a feasible solution before I can make a decision. I need to be responsible for my Pokémon. If there really isn't enough time... then I will give up my human identity."

"Sure, but honestly, I don't think it's a problem if you complete the transformation now. From the outside, almost no one will be able to tell. The human body is so fragile; what is there to cherish?"

Having received the pure light, Wujita's mood improved considerably, and he stopped dwelling on the rejected transaction, casually changing the subject.

Upon hearing this question, Mary pursed her lips and smiled, saying:

"Just consider this my personal, bored insistence. I'm not ready to personally dabble in that power yet."

"I don't understand you. Don't you trainers all see your Pokémon as one entity?"

"I trust my Pokémon, but I don't trust myself too much... This is enough for now."

After saying that, Mary shut her mouth, not intending to continue the topic, and instead focused on the evolution and transformation of Xiao Mo.
