Pokémon from Galar

"The plan has been launched ahead of schedule. As expected, those useless nobles are completely unreliable."

A red-haired woman put down her communicator and gave a report.

"It was expected. Contact Domino to see if they've evacuated yet."

Sakaki's voice came through the communicator, silencing the air for a moment before another voice rang out.

"Dromino has already led the people and the professor to move, but they are being closely pursued by a small group of League Trainers and cannot head towards the submarine."

"Have Domino take a detour towards the prison. After Oka and Bishas rescue the people, send a team to provide backup."

"learn."

As the conversation on the other end of the communicator faded, the woman continued speaking into the communicator:

"When will that strange team outside make their move? That Isle of Armor thing, they say it has some really strong trainers there."

"There's a master hidden in that group. Don't alert them. Wait until those kids go into the forest before making your move."

The call was cut off, and the group fell silent.

The women were helpless; no one could get into this damned fog, and according to their subordinates, the team was full of elites. No one would believe they weren't led by a master. In order not to disrupt the plan, they could only pretend they hadn't noticed the tail behind them and carefully split off a team to sneak into the outer perimeter, waiting for the enemy to come to them.

Just then, a team member suddenly rushed up to the woman with a communicator in hand.

"Report, the images sent back by the people of Hammerlocke City show that Mugentana has appeared."

"Oh?"

The woman raised an eyebrow, took the communicator, and looked at the screen. The image was shaky, but it was clear that most of the arena in Hammerlocke City had been destroyed. A strangely shaped purple bone dragon was hovering in the sky, and Raihana was attacking it with his Pokémon, but they could only barely hold it back.

Each breath could destroy an entire block, and every tail whip was unstoppable. On the ground, a large number of League Trainers, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, were organizing citizens to take refuge. They seemed to have been prepared in advance. As the video moved, after observing for a long time, I didn't see many casualties.

Amidst the devastation wrought by Eterna, in a house near the city's edge, Giovanni gazed at the invincible figure outside the window, a surge of excitement coursing through him. This was only just recovered, his strength reduced to ninety-nine percent, yet even Galar's top trainers couldn't withstand him.

Chapter 411 Sneak Attack

Mary and her group bypassed Quan Guan City, which had been turned into a battlefield. They needed to get to the Wei Mei Forest as quickly as possible and couldn't be held up by the battlefield there.

Although they had gone very far, so far that they could only vaguely see the distance to Kenshin City, they could still clearly see the sea of ​​fire that truly could be described as scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, as well as the breath that soared straight into the sky, when they turned their heads.

Not only in Hammerlocke, but the giant beams of light that have spread across the Galar region have caused the entire continent to boil with excitement. The burst of energy has stimulated wild Pokémon, and there have even been instances of Dynamax Pokémon approaching towns.

The Rotom phones in the four men's pockets had been vibrating incessantly for a long time, bombarding them with news and various official self-rescue measures.

Fortunately, the central battlefield was held up in the sky by Leon and Kibana, otherwise the entire Hammerlocke City would have been reduced to ruins long ago.

Even so, Mari and the others could imagine just how terrible the situation in Kensei City was right now.

The hands gripping the clothes around their waists tightened noticeably. The four of them remained silent on Xiao Qiu's back, but the atmosphere was clearly heavy.

If the three divine birds of the past only made people feel powerful, then today's Wujitai has made most people feel the weight of the word 'god' from the bottom of their hearts.

Mary raised her hand and gently covered the tightly clenched little fist. The little bird beneath her seemed to sense its trainer's emotions and wanted to dispel them.

"Gah—! (I'm going to speed up!)"

boom--!

In an instant, leaving the sonic boom far behind, Xiao Qiu's speed increased once again. Even through the energy shield, everyone could feel the strong wind rushing towards them.

Leaving the chaotic battlefield far behind, the group silently made their way towards the Misty Forest.

……

Above Hualang Town, Mary told Little Bird to land carefully while turning her head to ask:

"Do you want to go home for a visit?"

Since there are no Power Points in Hualang Town and Mugan Town, many Pokémon that haven't been affected yet have gathered nearby, making the area surprisingly safe.

"No need, I've already told my parents on my phone."

Yuri grasped Mary's hand in return, shook her head, and said with a smile. Hep gave the same answer: going to see her family now would only affect their mood, so it was better to go all out.

Seeing that both of them were so determined, Mary nodded.

"Okay, let's go in then."

Little Chick slowed down and landed at the entrance of the Slumbering Forest. The four of them stepped off the ground, and Mary took out a large jar of energy cubes for Little Chick to eat, then rubbed its big head.

"You've worked hard, take a rest first."

After a short rest, Mary put Little Chick back into the ball and then replaced her with Ichigo, who followed beside her.

As the group walked into the dark, dense forest, Yuri asked curiously:

"Why did you call out Ichi-chan?"

"It's always better to be careful."

"Oh--"

While Yuri was reminiscing, Sonia was the first to recall the conversation she had overheard earlier, so she raised her hand and threw a giant swamp monster to stand beside her.

"You two should also keep one of your companions with you. After all, the fog will be clearing by the time we go in, and no one knows when an attack might occur."

"oh oh--"

The two agreed, and Hop, unsurprisingly, called out his fluffy horned sheep, while Yuri called out her thousand-faced evader.

Although Marie used to secretly complain about Hop, after going through so much, Hop and the fluffy sheep are not only bound together, but their strength should not be underestimated.

As they entered the forest, the light dimmed. Perhaps because of the sword and shield, while everything outside was in chaos, the forest was surprisingly peaceful, much like when Mary had last visited.

Because of the situation outside, Yuri and Hop were a little impatient. In addition, with Pokémon by their side, there was no chance that any wild Pokémon would suddenly jump up and start a fight, so the two of them walked a little too fast ahead.

Mary and Sonia quickened their pace, not saying anything to tell them to slow down. In fact, they were both quite anxious. They might be able to control the disaster situation for now, but if Team Rocket started causing trouble, things could get complicated.

"How many people do you think they will send to deal with us?"

Sonia bent down slightly and whispered in Mary's ear.

"It's hard to say. At least on the surface, Yuri, Hop, and I are all at the level of Gym Leaders, but this place is crowded and it's hard to hide..."

She didn't finish speaking, but Sonia understood perfectly well. However, she didn't seem flustered at all and appeared quite confident in herself.

"Hey, then I'll have your Primarina cooperate with me then."

"Sure... By the way, you used to use weather tactics?"

Since the Swampert Galar is nowhere to be seen, Dr. Mulan must have found it from another region for Sonia. And since it can be used as a main force, it might even be able to Mega Evolve.

"Yeah, I was thinking before that it's a shame your Primarina doesn't deserve a rain team."

Sonia had thought of this before when she saw the West Lion Sea People's tactical style, but at that time Mary's team was already over-capacity, so she naturally wouldn't mention forming a second team.

"Of course I know, but Hime-chan herself may not always stick to regular battles in the future. She might lean towards the Grand Contests, who knows?"

Hime-chan's desire to perform is undeniable, and Mari originally planned to take her to try out some grand competitions when she got a bit older. So, forming a weather team might not be feasible.

Although the two people lagging behind were still talking in secret, they did not slow down. The thick fog in the forest gradually dissipated with their footsteps, and their vision became clear. In addition, there were no obstacles, so they arrived at the ruins without much trouble.

"...Is this what a sword and shield are?"

Following Sonia's instructions, Hep picked up the broken shield from the ground, while Yuri naturally took the broken sword next to it.

"Hmm... Marie-chan?"

Yuri looked at Mari with some doubt. After all, she had seen Cangxiang and Zangranmat in person when she came last time. She didn't see anything this time, which made her feel a little guilty.

Mary nodded and gave Yuri a smile to reassure her.

"Let's go to Motogakure first; they need support there."

"Eek! (Something's up!)"

Just then, Ichigo and Swampert both paused, looking in a certain direction as if facing a formidable enemy! Sonia and Mari quickly realized something was wrong, and the two hurriedly slapped the Poké Balls on their waists, shouting:

"defense!"

In an instant, the two Pokémon appeared around them and set up defenses. At the same time, a massive Leaf Storm burst forth from the dense forest, carrying with it a variety of powerful attacks that rained down on Marnie and the others.

Chapter 412 Melee

A burst of flame shot out first, igniting the green leaves that were flying everywhere and illuminating the dark jungle. Then, three waves rose from the ground and transformed into giant waves that protected everyone behind them, pressing down on the oncoming sneak attack.

Two armored ravens soared into the sky, slashing their blades in mid-air towards the direction of the enemy they had observed by the firelight.

"Is that your Corviknight?"

While activating the keystone and feeling the oppressive feeling of Silky's rapid ascent beside her, Mary also took a moment to glance at the other Corviknight cooperating with Little Chirp in mid-air.

"correct."

Sonia smiled and nodded, seemingly without any nervousness, and reached into her pocket to pull out a keystone that had already begun to glow. Then, Swampert began to radiate the light of evolution.

Meanwhile, Yuri and Hop realized what was happening and calmly released their Pokémon, commanding them to launch a counterattack.

"Hime-chan, use Rain Dance! Magic Flash and Meteor Beam! Everyone else, hold off on your attack!"

Mari quickly gave the order. Baloo vanished from his spot, Ichigo stayed by Mari's side to guard against any sneak attacks, while Kyon and Suzu had already reached mid-air.

Meanwhile, a beautiful Xeno'jiiva cat beside Sonia begins laying out an electrical field under her command, while Mega Swampert assists Hime in expanding the dark clouds to counter the enemy's weather debuff. Milotic erects a mysterious shield, constructing a defense.

Yuri and Hop followed closely behind. They knew they didn't have much experience in melee combat, so they focused on cooperating with Sonia and Marie's attack. After the Pokémon that built defenses and protected themselves were separated, the other attackers also started to move.

Marie didn't fuse with Kyon directly, since she wasn't the only trainer present, and the four of them would need to communicate to cooperate.

Two thick, radiant beams of light descended from the sky, clearing away a large patch of dense forest in front of them in one fell swoop. The attackers quickly emerged from the darkness, exposing themselves to Mary and the others.

The rain started falling quickly. There were eight enemies in total, led by a man and a woman, followed by two squads.

Neither side bothered with any words. As Hime-chan's song began, water cannons and lightning bolts, mixed with a large amount of rain, rained down on Team Rocket's trainers!

The Swamp Monster roared and slammed its fists into the ground, its massive body lunging towards the crowd. Its hands were wrapped in thick energy, and it looked fierce. Xiao Mo transformed into a dazzling golden wheel and roared over its head!

Onion Soldier and Wool Horned Sheep charged at their opponent, right behind them.

Suddenly, four dark figures rushed out from Team Rocket's side, swooping straight at the two Corviknights in mid-air! In an instant, the six Pokémon were locked in battle.

However, Hop's Flame Ace was not used to the terrain, so Hop had a clever idea. He had it jump onto the back of his Corviknight, rise into the air, and shout:

"Can we ask them to move the battlefield outside the rain?"

Mary and Sonia quickly looked up and saw a crow, a Dragonite, a Pidgeot, and a Scizor.

"Okay, Little Chirp!"
