Pokémon from Galar

Seeing this, Mukyu no Tana stopped pursuing the matter, since he had already achieved his goal and even obtained results beyond his expectations.

The power of the Radiant God is very universal. After personally experiencing it, Eterna realized this. Unlike His own unfinished product, it is gentle yet powerful.

Perhaps this is why He failed in the first place.

As Wujita carefully sensed the nature of light, he sighed. He had relied on his physical talent to forcefully deduce the truth back then. His superb physical qualities were the foundation of his success, but they also became the stumbling block to his failure.

The path itself was not wrong, but He ignored too many details, which led to failure at the last moment.

Mary is truly extraordinary. If she were still just an ordinary human, perhaps it wouldn't have mattered if Wujitana had allowed her to serve him for a hundred or two hundred years after his rebirth, as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.

But when he thought of the light that Mary inherited, Wuji Tai gave up the idea. If he agreed, he would probably be driven to do it until the end of his life, which was not acceptable.

Having rejected this idea, Mugentana focused on studying the light that Mari had given him.

After a complete silence, about half an hour later, Mizuki suddenly appeared at the entrance of the training ground.

“Marie, I heard you came here as soon as you woke up, so—what are you doing here?”

Mizuki, who was greeting people on her own, walked closer and before she could finish speaking, she noticed the light in Mari's hand.

"Ah, good morning, Mizuki. By the way, you, the champion, are still slacking off here?"

"I'm recovering from my injuries. You beat me up pretty badly in the Ultimate Cave, you know."

Meiyue glared at Mary, then sat down, holding her skirt, and asked curiously:

"What are you doing? Z-Move?"

"Hmm... let Xiao Mo evolve."

"Huh? But I remember Morbeco can't evolve, right?"

"Another kind of evolution, I hope you can keep this a secret for me..."

I gave Miyuki a brief explanation, and naturally, I received a very shocked expression.

"Wow, this is what high rewards come from working so hard!"

"Haha~ I can share some ideas with you. There are many ways to explore. With your status, it shouldn't be difficult to set up a research institute."

Would you be willing to tell me?

"Yes, but you need to be careful not to leak it out easily."

"I know, but it's a bit of a headache... It's been so long since I've seriously studied anything."

Mizuki scratched her head in annoyance, then asked:

"But if that's the case, then when you stop being human one day, does that mean I can use a Master Ball to catch you?"

"Dream on."

"Hehe~ If it were Yuri, you would definitely be willing to get caught."

"She can catch me? I'm the one who should catch her."

The two laughed for a while, then Meiyue quieted down, staring intently at Mary's profile.

"Thank you so much, Mary. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it back. I was the champion, but you saved me instead."

"So what if you're a champion? You're only a year older than me. We're still kids, so don't take on too much responsibility."

Faced with Mary's teasing, Mizuki smiled with a subtle expression:

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone admit to being a child like this."

"Just being realistic, Mizuki. Don't let the title of champion blind you. Before becoming a champion, you're still a girl in your early teens. There's a vast world outside Alola waiting for you to discover. Travel more, or I'll catch up with you soon."

"To be honest, sometimes I really feel like we're not the same age, but Dr. Kukui said the same thing to me a couple of days ago, and I'll think about it carefully."

"Yes, remember to bring Lillie along."

"What?"

"Although Little Nebula is strong, he is so young. Shouldn't he go out and see more of the world?"

"That's true. I'll try to invite Lillie later. Thanks."

Mizuki smiled and nodded, not noticing the slightly distorted smile on Mari's face.

After about half an hour, the light in Mary's right hand gradually dimmed, and Xiao Mo rubbed her eyes and woke up.

"Haha... I feel like I had a good sleep~"

Xiao Mo opened his eyes, yawned while tugging at Mary's arm. There was no change in appearance, nor any leap in strength, but something deeper had changed, which Xiao Mo could vaguely sense.

This change will gradually become apparent as Xiao Mo's strength increases.

How are you feeling?

"Yay~ (That feels so good~ I feel like I could train all day without a break!)"

"That won't do. Stick to the schedule. Overworking will be very tiring."

After giving Xiao Mo some instructions, Mary watched him return to the training area with great enthusiasm and breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples; she was actually quite tired after all that.

Mari stretched and yawned, then tilted her head to look at Mizuki, who had been by her side the whole time, and asked:

What are the plans for the future?

No, what about you?

"I don't have any either. Let's just invite Yuri to go get something to eat. I'd like to order something."

"Okay~ Let's go then!"

I touched it today.

I just finished writing a story and it feels like all I wrote was meaningless fluff... I can't even write a proper post, so I'm thinking of taking a break for a day. Sorry!

One hundred characters ...

Chapter 279 Preparations for Heading to War Town

Without lingering long in Alola, Marie and Yuri bid farewell to everyone again and returned to Galar. This time, they were heading towards Battlegrounds.

Before that, however, Marie and Yuri need to buy some warm clothes. After crossing Route 7, they will enter a low-temperature zone, which is as famous as the hot springs in Battlegrounds, and also has snow that is hard to melt all year round.

"Ah~ Mary-chan, what do you think of this hot spring inn? It even has a private indoor hot spring in the room!"

Mary, who was picking out thick clothes that were warm enough, was suddenly tugged at by Yuri. She turned her head and saw the phone screen being held up in front of her.

Mary tilted her head back slightly, glanced at it a few times, and then scanned the price.

"It looks alright, but have you even looked at the price? Are you planning to sell yourself to me to pay off your debts?"

"...What?!"

Yuri blushed, glared at Mary, put her phone away, and didn't intend to pay any attention to Mary's teasing.

Since the incident with the Radiant God, Mary has become incredibly bold. She used to be so restrained and reserved, but now she always says things that make her blush or does things that make her blush when she's not paying attention.

Mary didn't mind. She picked up her cotton-padded coat and held it up in front of her to check herself in the mirror. She was also very interested in hot springs, especially when she was with Yuri.

Actually, she didn't mind covering Yuri's expenses, including her own and the Pokémon's hot spring fees. Now that they were officially dating, Mari became less concerned about such things.

Of course, if Yuri really packed herself up and delivered herself to Mary, she would happily accept it.

"Yuri, how does this look?"

After trying it on briefly, Mary quickly waved to Yuri to come over and take a look. It was cold in Zhanjing Town, but not in Quan Guan City. Wearing a cotton coat wouldn't keep her warm for long.

"Hmm...why do you always choose such drab colors? This pea green one next to it is quite nice!"

Quickly shedding her earlier shyness, Yuri looked at Mary's dark coat with a slight unease. To be honest, Yuri thought the coat would look perfectly normal on a man too.

"Ah, this doesn't seem quite right for me."

Mary raised her finger and scratched her cheek. She always felt that this girlish color scheme suited Yuri better than herself.

"Don't follow your brother's example; wearing dark colors every day is too gloomy!"

Is it really that exaggerated?

Unable to bear the warmth of the cotton-padded coat, Mary took it off and hung it back on the shelf. Facing Yuri's rather assertive gaze, Mary's mood was rather complicated.

"Of course!"

Yuri didn't know why she was reacting so strongly. She angrily grabbed a patchwork cotton-padded jacket and stuffed it into Mary's arms.

"Try this!"

"Eh—"

"Hurry up!"

"Oh dear...this is terrifying!"

Mary reluctantly hugged the cotton-padded coat, stretched it out, and tried it on in front of the mirror. Although it looked a little awkward, she obediently put it on.

"Hehe~ Isn't it cute? Why are you so resistant?"

Yuri stood behind Mari, helping to adjust her clothes and hat, then peeked out and said with a smile. Mari turned slightly to the left and right, looked in the mirror, then turned to Su-chan and I-chan and asked:

What do you guys think?

"Shh~ (It looks pretty good~)"

"Ee- (I think it's about the same.)"

"Well... okay then,"

After listening to her Pokémon's opinion, Marie finally turned to Yuri, spread her arms wide to show Yuri, and asked with a smile:

"What about Yuri? Do you like her?"

"Hmm~"

"Then let's take this one."

Since Yuri liked it, Mary didn't hesitate any longer. After taking off her clothes, she glanced at the price tag and made her decision.

"Yuri, have you made your choice yet?"

"Not yet, you go pay the bill first, I'll check again."

"alright."
