Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Therefore, 'Dark Night' is not its name, but a phenomenon. And that legendary spirit originating from the universe, both my grandmother and Guild Master Rose call it—Eternal Tana!

Infinite energy?

The source of Dynamax?

Just how powerful would such a spirit be?

Even among all the mythical beasts that had appeared before, Cynthia had never heard of any of them claiming that their energy was inexhaustible.

To know.

This not only affects the Pokémon itself, but also the other Pokémon, enabling them to Dynamax.

Sonia took a deep breath and continued:

"The Galar particles we currently need to enable Pokémon to Dynamax actually all originate from Eternatus. The prerequisite for Dynamax is having an abundance of Galar particles."

Therefore, even in our Galar region, only arenas with specially constructed barriers and vast, untamed wilderness areas can allow trainers' Pokémon to Dynamax, because only the Galar particles in these places can support the Dynamaxing of Pokémon.

"Perhaps. This isn't the first time Mujita has appeared. And 'Dark Night' is just the only recorded instance of its existence that we can find in the clues of history."

"And now, perhaps soon, 'Dark Night' will descend once more!"

As she spoke, Sonia's tone and expression became extremely heavy.

"Why?" Cynthia asked.

"Because at this time, some wild Pokémon in the Galar region suddenly Dynamaxed without any warning. Moreover, some of the Dynamaxed areas are not even in the places I mentioned before. This indicates that Galar particles in the Galar region are rapidly increasing at a speed we do not know."

Sonia reached this conclusion by combining the information she received from her grandmother, Dr. Mulan, with the information she gathered herself.

and.

To Cynthia, this conclusion seemed both possible and plausible.

Cynthia couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"Then... how was that 'dark night' resolved before?"

At this point, Sonia's expression suddenly made a 180-degree turn, becoming bright and cheerful.

"This is the main topic of my homework. To find the legendary 'King of Sword and Shield,' who is the true hero who resolved the last 'Dark Night.' But based on what I've learned and the information I've gathered over this period, the 'King of Sword and Shield' may not refer to a single person, but rather to two elves."

"Elves? Those two sculptures wearing the book?" Cynthia's eyes lit up slightly.

“Clever, Sister Cynthia. History is bound to have some deviations, but the history of the ‘King of Sword and Shield’ may be a bit too far off.” As she spoke, Sonia playfully stuck out her tongue.

"So, if we can find the legendary 'King of Sword and Shield,' it might be possible to end this 'Dark Night' before its damage is minimized?"

"Yes, yes! So I hope you can help me, Sister Cynthia," Sonia pleaded.

She didn't know when this 'dark night' would appear.

But making the most of the time is definitely the right thing to do.

Listening to their conversation, Xia Yan, standing next to him, touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

He really wanted to say it.

According to the original development plan.

Perhaps if the 'King of Sword and Shield,' namely Zacian and Zamazenta, appeared, they could defeat Eternatus.

But now...

It's hard to say.

However, they don't actually need to look for Zacian and Zamazent, because their decaying sword and shield are currently on him.

If the Ephemera appears, they will definitely appear as well.

The only thing Xia Yan is uncertain about now.

What exactly does Suzuki want to do?

Wujitana?

This is Xia Yan's current judgment and speculation.

but.

If he guessed it so easily, then there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that Suzuki's real target wasn't Mukoutana, but rather a decoy that Natsuhiko could see.

Another one.

Suzuki was very confident.

He was so confident that even if Xia Yan knew, he could still make things proceed according to his plan.

This is also why Xia Yan, despite being in the Galar region for so long, hasn't gone to the energy factory beneath the Punch Gate arena to try and disrupt the revival of Voidtana.

maybe.

"Going to the door" has turned into "delivering vegetables".

just now.

Xia Yan and Suzuki maintained a special tacit understanding.

They silently accumulated strength, waiting to see who would prevail in the final clash.

Furthermore, both of them have enough self-confidence.

It is often referred to as "mysterious self-confidence".

ding dong -- ding dong --

Suddenly.

The tournament devices on Xia Yan and Shirona both went off at the same time.

The two took it out and looked at it.

It turns out it's a tournament challenge!

Chapter 220 Xia Yan’s “First Time”

Ok?

"High-level ball?"

Xia Yan and Xiluona exchanged a glance.

The World Championships have only just begun, and those who can become high-level balls are either high-level balls from the very beginning.

Only a very few individuals, like Crimson, who treat battles as a livelihood and accept any challenge regardless of the ball type, can advance to the advanced ball level in a short period of time.

Then this person is very likely to be a high-level player from the start.

In the Galar region, besides Leon, there are eight other Gym Leaders who start with High Balls.

no way.

The Four Heavenly Kings were not stationed in the Galar region.

However, the high level of competition has meant that the overall strength of the Galar region is actually not weak.

Therefore, Rose directly rated all the Gym Leaders in the Galar region as High Balls.

Of course.

The skill gap between Gym Leaders in the Galar region is quite significant.

For example, Raihana, the gym leader of Motogakure, is someone who can compete with Leon for the championship.

Although he ultimately lost, his strength as the Dragon-type Gym Leader cannot be denied.

There are also people like Nie Zi who only narrowly lost to Raihan without using Dynamax, and people like Popura who once competed for the championship with the first champion of the Galar region, Master Mash.

These are all among the stronger ones.

There are also gym leaders like Bea and Onion, who are young and therefore relatively weak.

"Is it Yalo?"

Cynthia flipped through the tournament equipment, where she could see the rankings of those who had issued challenges.

Twenty-six.

Higher than Xia Yan, lower than Sirona.

He should be someone who hasn't played much, or someone who hasn't had the chance to play against advanced players yet.

They are currently in Grass Road Town, where Yaro is the Gym Leader, making him the most likely candidate.

"You're here?" Xia Yan asked.

Cynthia pursed her lips, but finally shook her head and said, "No, you do it."

She's already had one match, but Xia Yan hasn't.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan looked up at the azure sky, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt refreshed.

"alright."

He kept bragging about how he'd climbed the ranks, but he hadn't even played a single game yet; that's a bit unreasonable.

"Sylveon the Sylveon, it's time to receive guests," Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Bu-i~~"

Sylveon proudly raised its head, and with its silk ribbons deftly operating Xia Yan's tournament equipment, accepted the challenge application.

That's a joke. It's brave enough to play games, but operating a machine is no simple task.

"Ding-dong—Challenge accepted successfully!"

Immediately, the tournament's equipment displayed a notification.

and.

Because it is a battle between high-level balls, a high-level competition, the equipment will automatically send information to the participants within a certain range.

This was also an idea of ​​Lóz's, a way to increase attention and boost the players' enthusiasm for the competition.
