Pokémon from Galar

Although there was some background noise, it was still easy to understand what was being said. Mary blinked and said:

"I can hear you, what's wrong?"

"Okay~ I just detected that you seem to have resolved one case, so I wanted to ask what happened."

"It was an ice dragon, which was countered by me, so it was dealt with relatively quickly. I applied some medicine to it and fed it some energy cubes. It's been subdued, and I'm planning to move on to the next location."

"Wow, that's fast. The others are still on their way."

After all, the others were traveling on foot and only summoned their Pokémon when it came to battle, which was completely incomparable to Marie's approach of sending Chip out directly to get to the destination.

That's why we've allocated almost two days for everyone; the battle itself won't take too long, but the travel time will be quite extensive.

"Well, is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up now to save some electricity."

"There's one last thing. The energy fluctuations detected on your second target are a bit large. There might be something strange about it. Marie, be careful."

“What do you mean by ‘the fluctuations are quite large’…Please say it again in a way that I can understand.”

"Generally speaking, when Pokémon are in a frenzy, they don't control or hide their power, so the detected energy response can accurately determine the opponent's approximate level. However, this suddenly appearing target was deliberately controlling the amount of power they were exerting, which caused the readings to fluctuate like this,"

"Oh... I think I understand. It's possible that he didn't go berserk, so wouldn't that make communication easier?"

"You completely misunderstand! This means the opponent's strength might be unexpectedly high! That's the key point!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll be careful."

"That's settled then, I'll hang up now."

Without any further ado, Mary ended the call. After thinking for a moment, she climbed back onto Little Bird's back and leaned down to say:

"When we get to the next target location, we'll land early and proceed with caution."

"Okay~ (Got it~)"

Xiao Qiu's tone remained flippant, but Mary knew he wouldn't make a mistake when it came to serious matters, so she didn't mind. She hugged Xiao Qiu tightly and flew into the air again.

The second target was about the same distance as the first one. Little Chick slowed down and flew for about ten minutes. Although she still hadn't seen the giant figure, the gradually spreading moisture in the air made Mary frown.

She raised her hand and wiped her cheek; the wet touch made her slightly uncomfortable, and her clothes gradually became awkwardly half-dry.

"Hiss... This is a bit exaggerated. We haven't even seen the face yet, and the air is already this humid. Little Chirp, put me down. I'll walk over by myself."

"Huh...? (Are you alright? We haven't even seen what the other person looks like yet. It'll take you a long time to leave, won't it, Mary? Should I fly a little further ahead?)"

Little Chirp flapped its wings and landed on the ground, then turned its head to look at Mary on its back and asked a question.

"No, the opponent's strength may be a bit unexpected. I am a small target, and this place is easy to hide in."

Mary shook her head, rejecting Little Bird's proposal. She picked up the Luxury Ball and put Little Bird back in, wiped the water stains off the small screen with her wrist, glanced at the map, and headed out.

Chapter 336 Wild Suicune Appears

After getting off Little Chirp, Mary, who had chosen to proceed on foot, slowed down considerably. But Mary had no choice; she was currently carrying Little Chirp and Swamp King, and had no other way to move forward.

Mary left her bicycle at the dojo and didn't bring it with her, otherwise it would be much more convenient now.

Since she hadn't found any trace of the other party yet, Marie cautiously advanced while trying to guess what kind of Pokémon it was.

The entity that could cause such an anomaly is probably of a very high level of strength. In any case, let's hope it's not a grumpy guy like Gyarados, since not every Gyarados is as good-tempered as the one Marie raised.

Mary walked along the wide avenue. Without a small map to guide her, she really wouldn't be able to tell which way to go in such a maze of roads.

As they moved forward, the moisture in the air gradually turned into fog. The pure white fog mixed with the purplish-red color unique to the Great Space, making it look particularly eerie and suspicious.

So far, we haven't seen any watercourses forming lakes or similar bodies of water, but we should always be prepared for the worst. Besides, when we looked from the air earlier, we never noticed any mist swirling around this place.

Perhaps the other party had already noticed my approach and deliberately created this environment to welcome me.

That being said, having come this far, it wouldn't be Mary's style to turn around and leave without checking. She took out a clean towel from her backpack, wiped her face and neck, and after feeling a little more comfortable, she continued deeper inside without hesitation.

Following the map's directions, Marie finally arrived at her destination, but apart from the thin fog, she didn't see the particularly conspicuous Dynamax Pokémon.

However, both the moisture in the air and the puddles scattered on the ground indicate that a very powerful water-type Pokémon did indeed exist here.

"This is strange. Could they have already run away? But Sonia didn't notify us..."

Mary lifted a towel to dry her hair, which had been loosened long ago, and wandered around the puddles, trying to find something.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

Is it underground? Or is it in the sky?

Mary looked up at the sky, which seemed to have no boundaries. After thinking for a while, she finally touched Little Chirp's deluxe ball. It wasn't good to keep going around in circles like this, so she decided to fly up and take a look first.

Thinking this, Mary gripped the deluxe ball, about to press the switch,

pat-

The crisp sound of splashing in puddles was exceptionally loud in this space where no other living being could be seen besides Mary herself.

"—!"

Startled by the sound, Mary quickly turned around, her hand already touching the switch for the luxury ball. However, as her gaze shifted towards her target...

However, the sight before him was so overwhelming that he instinctively stopped throwing the ball.

"Why are you here...?"

Marie stared blankly at the tall, beast-shaped Pokémon before her, its blue and white fur intertwined, its slender and handsome form, the white ribbons and long hair flowing around it, and the dazzling sapphire-like headdress.

Looking up, Marie met the gaze of the Pokémon that was walking towards her step by step. She reacted quickly, and at the same time, Chirp activated its Luxury Ball and appeared beside Marie, slightly spreading its wings to protect her, looking wary.

'Human, what is your name?'

Suddenly, a pleasant voice rang in Mary's ears.

“Mary…”

'I see—'

After waiting a short while, the other person fell silent, their gaze shifting back and forth between Mary and the other person, as if they were deep in thought.

"...Um, may I ask why you, Suicune, are in Galar?"

'I didn't know before, but after seeing you... cough cough, I think I understand—'

"..."

Whether it was her imagination or not, Mary felt that Suijun had been watching her from the side while trying not to laugh.

"...Are you laughing?"

'I've thought of something happy.'

"..."

Mary suppressed her impulse and cut off the conversation that was making her DNA start to move. Suikun's reaction was really baffling. He came all the way from Kanto just for this?

"Actually, it's a problem with your power. You've mastered both external powers... sorry, and besides, you yourself are an outsider. Even as a human, dying of old age is quite unusual, and as a result, you'll have a very long life in the future... sorry, sorry."

What was supposed to be a serious topic was completely ruined by Suicune's laughter, leaving Marie unsure of what to say first.

"You were laughing the whole time, without stopping."

'Sorry, I was thinking about something happy again.'

Mary rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache, then patted Little Chiu's body to help him relax.

"...Never mind, more importantly, is the 'outsider' you're referring to what I understand it to mean?"

'Yes, no wonder I got kicked here. But to be honest, it was all for nothing. You've been assimilated to this extent; you can't change now even if you wanted to.'

"Huh? What topic are we suddenly talking about? The great god of light?"

'Don't worry about it, just think of it as me being curious about how you are right now.'

Seeing that Shui Jun said that, Mary took it as such. Although she was still confused and her identity as a transmigrator had been revealed, she seemed to be completely indifferent and didn't bother to investigate further.

Compared to that, not having to fight is actually better. I thought it would be a fierce battle, but although I was shocked, at least we didn't have to fight.

"Is it convenient for you to go back by yourself? Or would it be better if I took you out?"

'Let's go out together. It would be best if you teleported me back directly, so I don't have to fly for so long.'

Shui Jun made no mystery at all and just agreed, leaving Mari speechless. She had only been being polite, so why did she actually agree?

"Where can I be teleported to... Does the Phoenix Clan have a teleportation machine?"

"Of course not, but you can just take me to Oak's place, a Poké Ball can't hold me."

Taking two steps forward, Suicune sat down in front of Marie. Because he was still very tall, he had to lower his head to talk to Marie, and uttered the most outrageous line of his character.

"...Whatever makes you happy."

Chapter 337 Mary's Doubts

Mari, whose expected battle did not occur and was resolved even faster than anticipated, did not choose to leave immediately, as she still had to wait for news from Mugentana.

After letting Suicune dispel the moisture in the area, Marie didn't plan to wander around. She simply sat down against Chucky, took out a book she had brought from the research institute, and began to read it absentmindedly.

"Speaking of which, when do you plan to begin the evolution process?"

Suicune, who was also resting nearby, suddenly turned to look at Marie. Although she didn't know why she was being asked that question, Marie still placed her book on her lap and turned to answer:

"Probably not in the next few years; I don't have that awareness yet."

'Your own Pokémon has already evolved, yet you're starting to hesitate?'

Sui-kun's casual tone carried a hint of amusement, giving the impression that he was making a friendly joke to a junior.

"That's not the same. Even after Little Chirp evolves, it will still be Corviknight, but after I evolve, I will no longer be human, okay?"

'Those are truly nostalgic troubles...'

"Hmm? Come to think of it, there seems to be some information that says Suicune, you only became like this after Ho-Oh was resurrected. So what Pokémon were you before?"

'Things from so long ago, I've long forgotten them. Not only me, but the other two probably are too. We died too young.'

At this point, Suijun paused, then tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Marie, and continued:

'That's true. It's better to evolve later. Compared to a long lifespan in the future, extending our current life a little longer isn't a bad thing.'

Faced with such sentiments reminiscent of immortal beings, the still young Mary could understand them, but she couldn't truly grasp the emotions behind them, and could only nod in agreement.
