Pokémon from Galar

"Hahahaha—Mary is really something, she always manages to cause some kind of accident. If we let her in again, will she bring Phoenix out next time?"

President Loz, looking at the lively forum, burst into laughter without any regard for his image.

"Olive, tell your men to be careful and deal with any malicious rumors promptly."

"Yes, but shouldn't these photos be controlled? Won't their continued circulation cause problems for the Chengdu Alliance..."

"No need, these are all minor matters, just a little banter, consider it a chance to build rapport. And opportunities to make Mary famous are rare."

Chapter 339 Infiltrating the Giant Space

When Marie finally had some free time after delivering Suicune to Professor Oak, who was still in the dark, she belatedly discovered that her photos had inexplicably gone viral on the social media platforms she frequented.

She was startled at first, but after watching for a while, she didn't care anymore. She hadn't caught Suicune yet, and the hype would die down in a couple of days. More than that, Marie wanted to go back quickly and discuss the revival with Mugentsuna.

However, although her own adventure was over, the other two groups wouldn't be back until tomorrow. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Marie insisted on staying at the research institute with Sonia. They waited until everyone had returned safely the next day before setting off back to their own gym.

After three days, just as Mary had predicted, no challengers arrived in Spike Town.

I glanced at the official website; it seems we'll have to wait a few more days.

Although reluctant, Mary, who didn't know when her brother would be able to return, could only prepare for the gym challenge. She didn't know how many challenges she would have to take charge of in the next few months.

After checking on the Pokémon's training status at the gym and adjusting the training plan, Marnie rested for one night and then left the gym again the next day.

However, this time the target is not the snowfield, but overseas.

In the coastal waters of Galar, there are also many Dynamax Points that exist underwater or on uninhabited islands. Generally speaking, most people judge whether they can see Dynamax Points when approaching or leaving Galar.

For example: Oh, I've reached the Dynamax Point, I've arrived in Galar. Or, Oh, I haven't reached the Dynamax Point, I've left Galar.

So, for the sake of convenience, Mary ran off to a deserted island, ostensibly to train Little Bird. After all, given its special form, it was only natural for her to want to avoid crowds.

Looking towards the Isle of Armor from mid-air, Mary could even vaguely see the two towers. The Isle of Armor wasn't too far from Spiketown, and given its large size, Mary could even see the towers in the distance.

In a boxing gym on the Isle of Armor, there exists a very mysterious but powerful Pokémon. Marie naturally remembers what Pokémon it is, but she has no way of knowing where to go, and if she rashly goes there, she probably won't be able to see a Pokémon like Kubunta.

In addition, I haven't had much time lately, so I can only leave it for later.

Without lingering too long on Armor Island, Marily patted Little Bird's neck and landed on a desolate island not far away.

"Let's stay here, Little Chiu, thank you for your hard work~"

"Gah~ (It's nothing~)"

After recalling Little Chick, Mary took a step forward and walked straight into the Giant Energy Point.

……

After staggering a couple of steps to regain her balance, Mary looked around but found no signs of Pokémon occupying the area. She stretched, randomly chose a direction, and walked out.

"Hey, what should I do next?"

'Let's keep going. I'll let you stop when we get close to the edge. But it'll be a bit awkward since you can't use Max Power.'

"Come on, we'll only use it a few times, and we don't even know if it will work."

"I'm still fairly confident, and if I had a physical entity now, I'd be even more confident."

"If you already have a physical entity, why would we still be doing this?"

Mary smiled wryly. Today she was here to confirm the discovery of Eterna. If it was successful, then there would be no need to worry about the energy for resurrection.

Although the commotion might be quite significant, the research institute's response time will be noticeably slow; a day is more than enough time for Mary to make her escape.

It took quite a while to get to the border.

'This is it, stop here.'

"oh oh--"

Upon hearing this, Mary stopped in her tracks, looked at the unobstructed road in front of her, and tilted her head in confusion.

"How did you figure that out? You clearly don't have any space-related superpowers."

Ultimately, it's a variant application of maximal energy; upon closer inspection, a sense of incongruity can be perceived.

Unable to use Dynamax, Marnie shook her head helplessly. Their systems were different, and they simply couldn't understand each other.

He raised his hand, lifting the fully charged Maxim Bracelet from his wrist, and brought it close to the edge in front of him.

"Alright, it's your turn to perform."

'Actually, you could summon your Corviknight; it might be able to learn it.'

While drawing energy from the Max Gear, Eterna spoke calmly and patiently. After all, this was the first successful case he and Marie had personally facilitated, and he was actually quite friendly towards Chiu.

"Okay... Little Chirp! Come and learn, maybe you can succeed."

Pressing the deluxe ball switch summoned Little Chirp, who had overheard the conversation.

"Gah... (Let me give it a try...)"

Little Chirp really wanted to scratch his head. Although it was a variant of Max Energy, it involved spatial aspects, which he really didn't understand... He might as well call Sue out.

When Eternatus saw Chirp appear, it deliberately condensed its energy to make it visible, and began to try to unravel the strange phenomena in the Max Plane Space in the most conspicuous way possible.

Mary could roughly understand it, but couldn't use it at all. Little Chiu could use it, but to be honest, he didn't quite understand this brain-intensive thing.

The whole process didn't take long. A purplish-red sphere of light gradually appeared in front of Mary, expanding until it was large enough for one person to pass through before stopping.

'Alright, let's go in and take a look. Did you understand it?'

"Little Chick, did you understand?"

The little chick tilted its head and scratched its head with its wing.

"Gah... (I don't understand...)"

"Pfft, don't worry about it. This is indeed difficult. I'll teach you in detail next time."

With that, Marie summoned all her Pokémon, then handed the Rotom phone to Sue, and finally placed the Nebula from her chest onto Mordred's head.

"You can train on your own here, and also keep out any wild Pokémon that might wander in."

"Hmph—(Marie, are you going in alone?)"

Baloo leaned slightly forward and looked at Marie. They were worried about letting their trainers run off to dangerous places on their own.

"Um... because bringing you guys along might get us detected..."

Feeling a little guilty, Mary scratched her head and instinctively avoided Balu's gaze.

"Ee- (I'd better bring Little Chirp along, otherwise I'll force myself to follow.)"

Although I-chan used a tone of negotiation, her words left no room for discussion.

Although the other Pokémon didn't say anything, their gazes towards Marie conveyed the same meaning, which touched Marie but also made her feel a little guilty.

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of Chirp. Seriously, who's the trainer here?"

Mari reached out and rubbed Ichigo's head, then patted Balu's belly. She pouted and smiled as she put Chiu into the ball, then waved and turned to step into the ball of light.

"Wow—where are we?"

Marie, having stepped out of the sphere of light, knew she was no longer in the giant nest, but frankly, she couldn't tell exactly where she was.

'Judging from the energy intensity, it's very similar to the void I entered before, and the feeling I get from this passage has changed.'

Following Mugentana's words, Mari turned to look at the purplish-red passage. Before she could speak, the passage shrank rapidly under Mari's gaze, shrinking to the size of a fist, and floated down above Mari's giant wristband.

"What's going on?"

'The passage feels different now. Before, when it opened on the other side, it only pointed to one specific destination, but now there are suddenly many more places I can go. My guess was right.'

"That's not what I meant. Why did the passage get smaller and attach itself to the Dynamax Gauntlets?"

'Of course! If we want to explore this place, are we supposed to leave the passage standing still? That would be far too unsafe.'

"Um... can this be moved around freely?"

"Of course you can! And you're supposed to be a psychic? Can't you even understand this?"

"I haven't changed yet! Of course I don't understand! What strange expectations do you have of humanity?"

'Tsk tsk... You might as well change your ways now. It's just a matter of standing there with your neck outstretched. Are you trying to be a door god by guarding the gate and not going in?'

"Go away, I can't be bothered to talk to you."

Mari clicked her tongue a few times, then ignored Mukyuu, recalling the map she had seen earlier, and walked out alone.

Even without reference points, that map would be quite difficult to understand.

Chapter 340: Transforming Mukyuu Taina into a Mother?

After recalling the map for a long time, I realized that I simply couldn't figure out which direction to find a proper reference point from this scene where it looked almost identical from any angle.

After walking for a while, Mary still had to call out Mugentana.

"Hey, do you know the way? If you don't, can we go back?"

'In the beginning, you were the one who wanted to confirm it with your own eyes, so why does it seem like it's my fault now...'

"I'm just trying to make sure everything is clear as much as possible."

"Hey... but my senses might not be accurate. If you go right now, you should be able to find the place where you met Suicune before."

Whether it was her imagination or not, Mary felt that Wuji Tai's faint sigh made her particularly uncomfortable.

Exploring this place on foot is naturally a very time-consuming activity. In addition, in order to avoid being discovered, Mary also left Rotom's phone outside, and Little Chiu couldn't be released either, which made the whole process extremely boring.

"Speaking of which, where do you plan to go after you're resurrected?"

'Where am I going? I'll just stay with you and live a life of leisure.'

"Although I know you probably just want me to temporarily protect you while you recover your strength, what you're doing makes me want to put you in a ball."

"Ugh, is it really necessary... You haven't even caught that little Nebula yet. Besides, I already promised to leave that body to you, and you're still planning to make me work overtime?"

"...Whether your body can give birth to a new consciousness is still uncertain, and to be honest, I was planning to give it to the Pill Emperor."

Mary scratched her head. Although that body was very strong, it wouldn't develop a new consciousness for quite some time after the Eternal Tana separated from it. Without the control of that consciousness, it was uncertain whether it could even fight. There was no need to get it.

"It's up to you. As long as it's not given to Loz, anyone can have it."

While he admired it, Wuji Taina certainly couldn't bear the thought of his former body being taken away by someone who had schemed against him.

"Well..."
