Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 726 Cangxiang Zangmarant! (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
Ok?
Hearing the voice that suddenly rang in her mind, Jing He was briefly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.

Cangxiang and Zangmarante?
Are they pleading for the duo in front of them?
Should we plead for these two guys in front of us?

Why did they have to come out now, either earlier or later?
Jinghe glanced at Gengar without making a sound.

How could Gui Gui not understand Jing He's meaning? Her eyes darted around, and she grinned, revealing a playful expression.

next second.

boom!boom!
Soder and Syldi lay stiffly on the ground, their eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, and their bodies twitching slightly.

"Gah!"

Sirfetch'd raised his longsword, and wild Pokémon gathered behind him. Seeing this, they couldn't help but cheer.

"Ouch——"

A faint, melodious cry rang out.

The forest seemed to tremble slightly, and the already pervasive mist became even more hazy, but before Jing He and his companions, the mist gradually cleared a bright path.

A babbling brook, a winding path leading to a secluded spot, a broken and decaying archway, and an ancient altar looming in the distance.

Two figures slowly emerged.

They have similar outlines, and just looking at their shadows, they look like two large wolves.

As the mist slowly dissipated and their forms became more clearly visible, Jinghe finally saw their true appearance.

On the left, its body is covered with thick, drooping blue mane and has patterns resembling wounds, as if it were a battle-hardened warrior. These "wounds" are proof of its many battles. One of its ears also seems to be missing a piece.

On the right, the fur covering it has turned dark red, and instead of drooping, it appears angular. It also has "wounds" from countless battles on its body, and a piece of its ear is missing. It has fur on its head that looks like a samurai helmet.

A resounding clang!

Zangmarante!

These are the two legendary heroes who defeated 'Dark Night', the legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta!

These are the sword dogs and shield dogs that Jinghe often talks about.

"Oh, it was you guys talking." Upon seeing them, Jinghe feigned surprise.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it at first," Jing He said, shrugging.

"Genga~"

Gengar mimicked his gesture, shrugged, glanced at the two unconscious figures at his feet, and kicked them twice in annoyance.

Let's see you be arrogant! Let's see you treat Pokémon as lowly creatures! Let's see you show off!

Cangxiang and Zangmarante: "."

The two divine beasts exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"However," Jing He spoke again, adjusting his glasses, "I'm actually quite curious. You appeared when they were fleeing in panic, but where were you when they were bullying these wild Pokémon in the Misty Forest?"

When Jinghe said this, her tone became slightly unfriendly.

“Genga~(▼皿▼)σ”

Gengar floated to Jinghe's side, took out sunglasses and put them on, and stared at Zacian and Zamazenta.

If Gengar is not satisfied with the answers from these two guys, the chubby purple-skinned guy wouldn't mind fighting them.

So what if they're mythical beasts? So what if they're legendary heroes?
If they are just empty names and actually two bullies who don't protect the weak but instead prey on the weak, then Gui Gui really won't give them a good look or be polite to them.

The giant blacksmith carrying a hammer and the green vine snake with its arms wrapped around its shoulders are the same.

Having become accustomed to legendary Pokémon, and with their increased strength, neither Gengar nor Greatsmith are actually that afraid of them anymore.

Cangxiang and Zangmarante exchanged another glance.

Knowing about Jing He and his Pokémon, she misunderstood herself.

But there's nothing we can do about it.
Cangxiang sighed softly and took a step forward.

A female voice rang in Jinghe's mind.

We could also sense its presence; it had only just awakened.

Their gaze fell upon the master blacksmith.

"just?"

The great blacksmith, carrying a hammer, pointed to himself.

I?
Then he pointed to his hammer.

Or is it my hammer?

Zangmarante also took a step forward and glanced at the two people on the ground who were foaming at the mouth.

Zangmarante's voice, however, is that of a male.

Although we don't like them either, and this isn't their first time in this forest, we have to acknowledge the favors we owe them.

When they fought against Eterna, who had released the 'Dark Night', the 'King of All' provided them with considerable assistance.

The "King of the Masses" is the ancestor of Sord and Hildi, and can be considered one of their former companions.

As for saying.

After thousands of years, the descendants of the "King of All" have become like this, something they never expected.

"Genga?"

Gengar rubbed its rear end, then carefully sniffed it before asking a question.

So, to repay this favor, are you going to fight me and us?

Cangxiang shook his head.

No, you spared their lives. We have done what we could, and the debt of gratitude has been repaid.

Jinghe gently rubbed her chin against his.

So, when Cangxiang and Zangmalante asked them to show mercy, did they mean they wanted to spare their lives?
That's quite a misunderstanding.

Jinghe wanted to teach them a lesson, but that didn't mean she wanted to kill them.

This violates the Pokémon League's laws.

And
Sometimes, living is more painful than dying.

"Genga~~"

Gengar also looked as if it had just realized something.

Turns out we're not on the same wavelength.

Do you ancient Pokémon just keep saying "kill" all the time? That's so cruel!
Cangxiang and Zangmarante: "."

There are still significant differences between ancient and modern times.

“Gengar, strictly speaking, you are also an ancient Pokémon,” Jing He couldn’t help but tease.

"叏Ga?! Σ(°ロ°)"

Zangmarante spoke in a deep voice:

To answer your previous question, if we were awake and witnessed their actions, we would certainly stop them as well. This has nothing to do with personal feelings; it's a matter of principle.

That's still acceptable. Jing He nodded to himself, his impression of the "two dogs" improving considerably.

Zacian and Zamazenta walked up to Jinghe and Gengar.

Cangxiang lowered his head slightly.

【Dear Arcturus.】

"Just call me Jing He. This is Gengar, Greatsmith, and Snake," Jing He introduced simply.

After a slight hesitation, Cangxiang nodded.

[Jinghe, we sense that the 'Dark Night' may return, and we request your help.]

"Cang Ao." Zang Maran let out a low roar and lowered his head slightly to be at eye level with Jing He.

“‘Dark Night’? The Queen of the Rachel’s premonition was right.” Jing He said thoughtfully.

[Crown of Calypsos?]

Zangmarante was taken aback, then asked seriously, "Has it awakened and recovered?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, both Cangxiang and Zangmarante showed a slight sense of relief.

This is really great news!

After their fierce battle with Eternatus, both they and the Calyrex fell into a long slumber.

Now, hearing that Raikou has awakened and recovered, Zacian and Zamazenta, as former comrades-in-arms, are both overjoyed.

"So, I'm sorry about your current situation."

After apologizing, Jing He gently raised her hand and swept it across her face. Her palm passed right through the bodies of Cang Xiang and Zang Marante without her feeling a thing.

After a brief period of distortion, the figures of Cangxiang and Zamarante returned to normal.

"Genga?"

Gengar's eyes lit up with curiosity, and it reached out its hand, moving back and forth between the two phantom images of the legendary beasts.

"As expected, you haven't recovered yet."

Cangxiang nodded.

That's why we hope you can help us prepare for the 'Dark Night' that may reappear soon.

"Let us help you repair your sword and shield?" Jing He already had some guesses in mind, so he asked directly.

【Yes. 】

As Zangmarante nodded, he slightly turned his body, revealing the altar behind them, which was not shrouded in mist.

On the altar, amidst withered branches and fallen leaves, lay a rotten and rusty sword and shield, lying quietly.

"just?"

The great blacksmith's gaze was immediately drawn to the sword and shield. He carried his hammer and passed through Zacian and Zamazent to the altar.

Jinghe, Gengar, and Green Vine Snake also went over.

Cangxiang and Zangmarante remained silent, following behind in quietude.

rustling—

The master blacksmith waved his hand, brushing away the fallen leaves and dust that covered the sword and shield, revealing them completely.

"just"

The master blacksmith smacked his lips.

It's such a waste to leave such fine metal here.
"Huh! Huh!"

The Merotan, clinging to the hammer, echoed the shouts, waving its arms excitedly.

Melt them! Melt them all!
A bead of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on the foreheads of Cangxiang and Zangmarante.

They've merged?
Why is this not quite what I expected?

"Ahem." Jing He coughed lightly and said, "Master blacksmith, it's about repairing them, not melting them down."

If Zacian and Zamazenta were once independent Pokémon...

So, in the battle against 'Dark Night' thousands of years ago, those who took up the sword and shield have become one with this sword and shield.

This is similar to how the King of the Lacecrown needed to ride his two beloved horses to fully demonstrate his strength.

The difference is just that.

The Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse are alive, while the sword and shield are inanimate objects.

If Zacian and Zamazenta were given more time, they might be able to slowly recover from the exhaustion caused by the seal after the battle, and then gradually activate the sword and shield to regain their power.

But they are unsure whether the 'Dark Night' will grant them such time.

and so.

If the sword and shield can be repaired first, then their power can also be fed back to Zacian and Zamazenta, allowing them to awaken from their seal ahead of time.

"just"

Fix it.
The master blacksmith suddenly realized.

That's one of its strengths!

"Huh! Huh!"

Strengths! Strengths!
Jing He shook his head, picked up the rotten sword and shield from the ground, and held the sword in one hand and the shield in the other.

to be frank.

It was a little heavy, but much lighter than I expected, and it was rusty and decayed, so it didn't feel particularly mystical.

suddenly.

A thought flickered in Jing He's mind.

waveguide!

Under his guidance, the waveguide energy within his body flowed through his arms and into the sword and shield.

hum-

The sword and shield in Jing He's hand trembled slightly, and two phantom images emerged from the sword and shield, revealing their original forms.

Ok?
Both Cangxiang and Zangmarante were somewhat taken aback when they saw this scene.

this.
They all sensed that the power of the sword and shield seemed to have been activated.

Jing He nodded knowingly.

Indeed, if it's a waveguide, it can more or less invoke some of the power of the sword and shield.

the other side.

Foaming and lying on the ground, Sord and Hildi seemed to be affected by the power of the sword and shield, or perhaps by the wave guide, and they struggled to open their eyes.

They looked toward the altar.

Upon seeing Jing He wielding a sword and shield, he too was momentarily stunned.

A ray of sunlight, unhindered by mist or foliage, shone through, leaving a soft, orange beam in the air before landing on Jinghe.

At this moment, he is holding a sword and a shield.

this moment.

The first thought that came to mind for both Sord and Hildi was: their ancestors! Their great ancestors! The King of Galar, the King of all!
That figure overlapped with the image of the ancestral sculpture in my memory.

That's right!

They were their ancestors!
Otherwise, besides their ancestors, who else could wield both a sword and a shield at the same time and demonstrate the power of both?

Great ancestors!
"Genga?"

Gengar suddenly appeared beside the two, and was somewhat surprised to see that they had actually woken up.

Did I go too lightly? Or has it been a while since I hypnotized a human and I wasn't careful with my strength?
He immediately gave each of them a Dark Hole.

The two kicked their feet violently, their eyes rolled back, they foamed at the mouth, and they fell unconscious again, this time in a more serious condition than before.

Gengar clapped its hands and nodded in satisfaction.

This time, he won't wake up for three to five days at a time, and even if he does, he might be left with some unpleasant aftereffects.

the other side.

The phantoms of the sword and shield dissipated, returning to their decayed, rusty state.

“This is how it should have been originally. You’ve seen the molds for this sword and shield,” Jing He said to the master blacksmith.

"Cha~"

The master blacksmith nodded in sudden realization.

So it was that sword and that shield.

It's so decayed that you wouldn't recognize it at first glance.

Then Jinghe said to Cangxiang and Zangmarante, "We'll give it a try, but we can't guarantee anything."

And we don’t even know how long it will take to repair the sword and shield.

Anyway, it's something that Hemsworth is passionate about.

Okay, sure.

Cangxiang and Zangmarante then realized what was happening and nodded subconsciously.

"Cha~"

The master blacksmith took the decaying sword and shield and placed them next to his hammer. With two "bangs," the sword and shield were attached to the hammer.

Upon seeing this, Zangmarante's eye twitched.

"Then we'll leave first."

Jing He led the giant blacksmith and the green vine snake out of the altar, and the mist spread again, covering the altar.

Meanwhile, Zamra and Zamazent walked towards the two decaying sculptures on the other side of the altar and slowly approached them.

Sister, our sword and shield won't...

Zangmarante turned around and glanced in the direction Jinghe and the others had left.

It shouldn't be that bad.

Cangxiang hesitated before speaking.

Stepping out of the altar, they were once again shrouded in mist. The Sirfetch'd, who had been shrouded in mist before, and the group of wild Pokémon seemed unaware of what had happened earlier.

They cheered only after seeing Sord and Syldi defeated.

"Gah!"

After his initial excitement and joy, Cong Youbing strode up to Jing He, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit. "Let's fight!"
It stared intently at Gengar, Greatsmith, and Slytherin, as if it were seeing some rare treasure.

Challenging the strong has always been its pursuit.

Its previous actions of defying Sord and Hilde, protecting the wild Pokémon in the Misty Forest, and its desire to challenge the strong have earned the respect of Jinghe and Gengar.

"Shinni!"

The ever-proud Green Vine Snake stepped forward and waved to the Onion Soldier.

Even the Green Vine Serpent acknowledged Cong Youbing's attitude, believing him to be a formidable opponent.

Moreover, in terms of strength
Although Sord and Hilde are not very capable, their Pokémon are still strong. Sirfetch'd was able to defeat both of them in a one-against-two battle, which means that it has at least the strength of a main Pokémon of the Elite Four and is also very experienced in battle.

Make your move!
"just"

The master blacksmith beside him sighed regretfully.

While busy fiddling with swords and shields, he was beaten to it by the Green Vine Serpent.

"Gah!!"

Upon hearing this, the Onion Soldier bowed solemnly and then picked up his sword and shield.

Watch out!
As soon as he finished speaking, Cong Youbing launched a surprise attack without hesitation, grabbing his longsword and quickly charging towards the Green Vine Serpent, slashing out with his large scallion sword.

Continuous chop!

The Bug-type move, Slash, has a base power of only 40, but if it hits repeatedly, its power will double continuously until it reaches a terrifying 160!

This shows that Congyoubing has quite good combat experience and judgment.

Against a Grass-type Serperior, Bug-type moves are undoubtedly a very good choice.

"Shinni!"

The Green Vine Serpent remained calm, quickly retreating while simultaneously unleashing two vine whips from behind it, striking towards the Onion Wanderer.

boom! !

The vine whip clashed with the scallion sword, but the contact was brief and the blade separated.

The other vine whip was blocked by the Onion Soldier's Onion Leaf Shield.

"Gah!"

Farfetch'd wasn't hindered by Vine Whip's charge attack. It figured that Snivy's strength was in Special Attack, and against Special Attack Pokémon, melee was undoubtedly the best option!

Continuous chop!

The Green Vine Snake narrowed its eyes, took a deep breath, and the vine whip it had previously shot out actually bypassed the Onion Wanderer and wrapped around the tree trunk behind him.

next moment.

To Cong Youbing's surprise, the retreating Green Vine Snake suddenly stopped on the ground and, with the help of the contraction of the vine whip, launched a counterattack at an even faster speed.

Melee combat?
Cong Youbing was overjoyed.

Clench the scallion tightly and chop it out.

On the arm of the Green Vine Serpent, a fluorescent emerald green leaf appeared and quickly extended, transforming into a leaf blade.

Leaf blade!

boom--

The sharp blades of the leaf collided head-on with the straight, long sword-like leek.

The two Pokémon were sent flying backwards by the force of their collision.

With his improved control of his body, Cong Youbing staggered a couple of steps and regained his balance.

Its expression was somewhat surprised. It looked down at the longsword in its hand, which had a slash mark on it that had almost cut its scallion in half!

Isn't he good at special attacks?
It had already witnessed the Leaf Storm used by the Green Vine Serpent before; its power was immense.
He can even use swordsmanship?

The Green Vine Snake, using its two vine whips to entwine around the tree trunk, landed on a treetop, its expression equally serious and focused.

This Onion Soldier is really strong.

As for swordsmanship...
You can always learn something by watching Azure Flame Blade Demon and Paper Sword practice their swordsmanship.

Although I can't learn everything, I've only learned the basics, which is enough for one or two purposes.

On a rock on the other side.

"Genga~"

Gengar grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into its mouth, then handed the bucket to Jinghe next to it.

Jinghe glanced at the popcorn, and after confirming that no chili peppers had been added, she picked up a few kernels and popped them into her mouth.

"No wonder the Green Vine Serpent always watched Azure Flame Blade Demon and Paper Sword practice swordsmanship. It turns out he learned a Leaf Blade technique."

Before it evolves into its Snivy form, it relies on its speed and the agile use of its vine whips, making it a melee fighter.

However, with the development of Leaf Storm and its inherent "contrarian" characteristic, along with the original features of this type of Pokémon, it gradually shifted towards special attack.

But it's unrealistic to expect it to forget about physical attacks or even stop using them altogether.

I reckon he'll eventually go for a dual-wielding style.

A slightly more reliable dual-wielding style than Gengar.

"Cha~"

The great blacksmith took the popcorn, ate two himself, and then gave one to Meltan.

"It feels like watching a martial arts movie," Jing He said with a smile.

"Shinni!"

After testing the Leaf Blade, given the current distance between them, the Green Vine Serpent wouldn't insist on engaging in close combat, and its body immediately glowed.

rustle--

The surrounding leaves rustled.

The leaves scattered and swirled, converging towards the green vine snake, coiling into a tornado and roaring out.

Leaf storm!

"Gah!"

coming!

Onion Soldier's expression immediately turned solemn, and dark red fighting power gathered on his leek longsword and leek leaf shield.

see through!

boom--

A tornado-like storm swept in, and the Onion Soldiers, shielded by onion leaves, wielded their longswords wildly, constantly producing the clanging sound of sharp leaves colliding with the longswords, accompanied by sparks flying everywhere.

With the shield of scallion leaves and the precise cuts of the scallion sword, the Onion Warrior actually managed to completely block the flying leaf storm of the Green Vine Serpent!
of course.

for exchange.

Farfetch'd's shield was badly damaged by the sharp leaves, but his longsword, imbued with more Fighting-type energy, remained intact.

Looking at his own green onion, Onion Soldier's expression turned serious.

If the collision continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my green onions.

In that case
"Gah!!"

Onion Soldiers suddenly raised their long onion swords, their eyes revealing faith, reverence, and fervor.

O green onion! Grant me strength!

hum-

A dazzling light shone from the Onion Soldier and the Onion Longsword. It suddenly leaped up, hurling the longsword in its hand like a lance.

The spear, like a dazzling meteor, streaked across the sky and hurtled towards the green vine snake.

"Shinni!"

A look of surprise flashed in the Green Vine Snake's eyes. The feeling of being locked on made it feel as if it had no way to dodge. At the same time, it realized that this was the Onion Soldier's ultimate move.

Meteor Strike, Sirfetch'd'Sir, is not only his signature move but also one of the most powerful ultimate moves in the Fighting type!

Since it can't be avoided.

Then there's no need to dodge!
The green vine snake lowered its head slightly and held its breath.

rustling, rustling—

The leaves in the forest began to shake violently, and wave after wave of emerald green energy, as if summoned by something, converged towards the Green Vine Serpent. The rolling energy and leaves intertwined and gathered into a tornado storm.

Leaf storm!

At this moment, the Green Vine Serpent's special attack has been upgraded to its maximum.

With the added support of the Sleepy Forest, its power at this moment...
Rumbling--

The swirling storm surged and churned, and a dazzling spear charged wildly through the tornado, its movements as swift and powerful as a dragon amidst the tempestuous wind and rain.

With a focus on key points, Cong Youbing was brimming with confidence.

"Shinni!"

Well come!
The Green Vine Serpent let out a low growl, and its body burst forth with dazzling light.

The surrounding trees sprouted and grew rapidly, with tender leaves bursting forth at breakneck speed, bursting forth with a surge of vitality, which then quickly returned to nourish the trees.

Using a specific point to break through the overall picture is a good approach.

However, if the dough is too hard, it cannot be broken easily!
Maximum power, Leaf Storm!

boom! ! !
The leaves swept across the entire area in an instant, and their power surged dramatically. The Onion Warrior's long spear, which had been sweeping across the area, encountered great resistance. Although it still advanced with unstoppable momentum, however...
The sharp leaves acted like a meat grinder, shredding the long sword-shaped scallion of the Onion Warrior into dust!

And leaf storm.

The guerrillas swept through the area.

boom--

"Puff puff--"

Gengar spat out large mouthfuls of leaves, and the popcorn bucket in its hand was covered with a thick layer of leaves.

"哓GA!"

The chubby purple-skinned boy turned around in annoyance and saw Jing He holding it with both hands, blocking the aftershocks of the leaf storm.

Seeing Gengar covered in leaves, looking like a Grass-type Pokémon, Jinghe couldn't help but laugh.

While laughing, there was also a hint of undisguised surprise in his eyes.

The Green Vine Serpent and the "Miracle Fruit" tree on its island, through the feedback of the Ultimate Absorption and "Contrarian" properties, promote the growth of the fruit tree while also growing themselves.

This method, inspired by Tapu Bulu, was even used by Viper in battles.

With the help of "Forest Blessing" and this positive-reverse technique, the Green Vine Serpent unleashed a power that completely overwhelmed the Onion Soldier.

This was something Jinghe herself hadn't expected.

so.

Sometimes you should let your Pokémon go all out and fight a battle on their own against a worthy opponent. You might just gain something unexpected from that.

Jinghe was already hesitant to even think about how much stronger the Green Vine Snake would become after evolving into the Monarch Snake.

"Gah-"

Onion Soldier eagerly handed a plump tree fruit to Green Vine Snake.

"Hisni! (▼Dan▼)"

The Green Vine Snake glanced at it sideways, then distanced itself from the Onion Soldier and sat down next to Jing He.

Upon seeing this, the Onion Soldiers immediately wilted as if they had suffered a defeat.

Even the longsword made of scallion that it had regained and the shield made of scallion leaves beside it were wilted.

It looked up at the sky, its eyes filled with tears.

"ga"

I'm heartbroken.
Green Vine Snake: "."

"Hisni! (#｀Van)"

nerve!

Green Vine Snake turned its head away, refusing to look at the Onion Soldier who had become so eager despite being beaten up by it.

"Genga~"

Gengar, at some unknown time, appeared beside Sirfetch'd and put its arm around its shoulder.

"Gah!" Onion Soldier looked on alert.

I have no interest in males! Let alone male ghosts!
"哓GA!"

Gengar immediately slapped its head in an annoyed tone, then rolled its eyes and lowered its voice.

I want to make a deal with you!

"Gah?"

transaction?

Gengar pointed to the leek sword in Sirfetch'd's hand and the leek leaf shield beside him, then pointed to himself.

Look, you have scallions, and I have connections. Give me your scallions, and I'll help you sell them. We'll split the profits 50/50, 90/10, I'll take 90% and you take 10%, how about that?
"Gah!!" Onion Soldier immediately jumped up from the ground.

He held the long sword with both hands.

This is a green onion, this is faith, and this faith cannot be measured by money!

"Gengar!" Gengar said calmly, waving his hand.

Fine, fine, I'll take seven and you take three!
"Gah!"

make a deal!

Sirfairy grasped Gengar's hand.

It happened to have planted a large patch of green onions, but it couldn't use them all itself, and other Pokémon wouldn't eat them, so it was just for itself.
It looks like it's almost fully marinated.

“Genga~()σ” Gengar pointed at Onion Soldier.

With your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never expected you to be so thoughtful.

"Gagaga~" Cong Youbing laughed loudly, looking very smug.

Gengar also laughed, but his laughter was somewhat "cunning".

Jing He, standing to the side, couldn't help but shake her head.

Make a deal with Gengar?
Gui Gui took 70% without contributing anything, yet she acted like she was the one who got the better deal from Da Long Ya. It's like she was sold out and still had to help count the money.

“Onion Soldier, are you really not coming with us? On my island, I can give you a plot of land to grow onions,” Jing He asked with a smile.

"Gah!"

Upon hearing this, Cong Youbing solemnly shook his head.

Its gaze swept across the surrounding slumbering forest.

The Pokémon here need me more!

"I respect your choice."

Jinghe didn't insist; it was just a tentative invitation, but Cong Youbing's persistence was still quite gratifying.

It's a pity that we lack "reserve grain".

"Then please find a Pokémon to throw these two out," Jing He said, glancing at Sord and Hilde who were still on the ground.

"Gah!"

Cong Youbing patted his chest, and the hairs on his back slowly fell back down, as if he had inexplicably escaped a "calamity".

"Pioni crown. Mr. Pioni?"

In the Galactic region's Hammerlocke city, Leon, looking hurried, unexpectedly encountered Pioney, Shakoya, and Botan, who had just stepped out of the station.

"Dan Emperor?"

Seeing Dante, Pione was also a little surprised, then laughed heartily and said:
"Here to spar with Cibanar again?"

"No," Dan Di chuckled, "I heard that Teacher Jing He has come to Galar and is currently in Mugan Town. I'm planning to go there and challenge him to a duel!"

"Jinghe."

Pione wasn't surprised at all by Dan-di's desire to challenge Jing-he; it was very much in line with Dan-di's personality.

Then he said seriously, "But it's very strong."

“I know.” Dan Di nodded. “I read Teacher Jing He’s ‘Road to the Championship’ and wanted to confirm just how big the gap is between my strength and Teacher Jing He’s.”

Now, he doesn't know if he's still qualified to let Teacher Jinghe summon that Eevee.
"Mr. Pione, what about you?" Dante asked. "I heard you went on an expedition to the Crown Snowfield."

Upon hearing this, Pione's expression immediately became more serious.

His change in expression surprised Dan Di, but also made him take it seriously.

"I'm here to investigate the reason for the recent unexplained divergence of Galer particles."

Emperor Dan was taken aback.

"Investigation? Quanji City?"

"Yes."

Dante also took the unexplained dispersion of the Galerite particles very seriously.

He took two steps closer and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a direction?"

Pioni looked at Peony.

Peony pursed her lips and said, "There's a problem with the energy output data for Quan Guan City."
