Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Guided by the pillar of light and the dark clouds, Dan Di did not get lost for the first time.

Looking at the powerful "bone dragon" standing atop the Fist Arena tower, Dan Emperor's expression was extremely serious.

He patted the Charizard beneath him and said in a deep voice, "Charizard, go faster!"

"Roar--!!"

Charizard vigorously flapped its wings, increasing its already maximum speed even further without Mega Evolution or Dynamax.

at last.

The Void, constantly emanating a strong, malevolent aura, carrying a large number of Galer particles, and continuously exuding a ferocious presence.

"Charizard, Flamethrower!"

Emperor Dan waved his hand, his expression extremely serious.

In his mind.

He recalled what Loz had once told him, and their conversation about the future of the Galar region.

At first.

It was precisely because Leon felt Rose's single-minded desire to give everything for the Galar region, and his willingness to work tirelessly for the Galar region, that he trusted Rose so much. Under Rose's guidance, he gradually became a household name in the Galar region as a champion.

He gradually shouldered the entire Galar region.

Whether it was becoming the champion, maintaining the top spot in the tournament points, or calming the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon in various parts of the Galar region, he had no complaints or grievances.

Because he was also wholeheartedly dedicated to the development and future of the Galar region.

For the sake of the Galar region, he is willing and hopes to shoulder the title of "Champion" and the present and future of the Galar region.

but.

Gradually, Dan noticed that something was wrong with Rose.

Or.

He slowly realized what Lorz was up to.

The red light that caused wild Pokémon in the Galar region to go berserk and Dynamax was actually coming from the energy plant of the Marco Polo Corporation in Motostoke!

When he came back last time.

It wasn't just to see Chibana, but also to investigate the energy plant.

just.

He hadn't figured out how to tell Loz about this, how to confront Loz about it.

But I never expected it.

His brief hesitation allowed the hidden danger in Quan Guan City to become a reality.

This also turned his suspicions about Lorz into reality, a true... disaster!

"Wuji...Tana!" Dan Di stared intently at the elf on the arena tower, muttering to himself.

Followed by.

Dan Di completely suppressed his emotions and thoughts, transforming them into a deep sense of confidence.

"I will defeat you! But not to achieve Chairman Loz's plan, but only to... protect the Galar region!"

President Loz is wrong.

But I, Dan Di, cannot be wrong!

next second.

A burst of blazing flames erupted from the fire-breathing dragon's mouth, illuminating the face of the Pill Emperor and his scalding blood.

flame.

It hurtled straight at Mugentana's face!

...

The Galar region.

The Forest of Sleep.

In a forest shrouded in a thin mist, beside a rugged, winding stream, lies an ancient altar covered with various debris and fallen leaves.

The soft light filtered through the layers of leaves, dispelling the hazy white mist and shrouding the altar in a veil of mystery, adding to its beauty.

"Sister Cynthia!"

Sonia, covered in dry twigs and leaves, exclaimed in surprise and shouted excitedly towards something behind her.

"what happened?"

With her hair tied up and dressed in a rare smart outfit, Cynthia walked briskly towards the sound.

Upon seeing the altar where Sonia was, he paused slightly, then a look of joy slowly appeared on his face.

"We found her, Cynthia!"

Da da da—

Walking quickly to the center of the altar, Cynthia nodded vigorously.

"This should be it."

Ignoring the dirt on her clothes, Cynthia held onto the stone tablet in the center of the altar with one hand and gently wiped away the dust and debris covering it with the other.

"This is... ancient writing..."

Sonia looked conflicted.

She wasn't a professional ancient scholar; she only began investigating 'Dark Night' and 'Sword and Shield King' because Dr. Mulan assigned her the task. Ancient texts can be translated, but she needed to go back and consult a lot of materials.

However, just because she doesn't understand it doesn't mean Cynthia doesn't understand it.

Hirona stared intently at the stone tablet, translating it bit by bit.

"...The token of the Sword and Shield Hero rests peacefully in the altar, may..."

"The token of a sword and shield hero?" Sonia stared blankly for a moment, then looked around with her little head. "Where?"

Cynthia shook her head.

She pointed to a spot in front of the stone tablet, clearly different from the surrounding dust, where two intertwined marks were visible.

"I think... someone must have taken it first."

"It was...it was taken away?"

Sonia blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.

Just then.

boom!!!

The ground shook slightly.

A massive beam of light shot up from a great distance.

Thick black clouds spread out.

Both Cynthia and Sonia witnessed this scene.

“That is…” Sonia murmured, her eyes widening in disbelief, “Dark Night?!”

Cynthia quickly stood up, her face darkening.

"In the direction of Hammerlocke City!"

Hammerlocke City!

Xia Yan is still there!

Thinking of this, Cynthia didn't care about the Sword and Shield Hero's token anymore and quickly threw out a Poké Ball to summon Garchomp.

Roar--

Garchomp roared as soon as it appeared.

Cynthia went directly onto Garchomp's back.

“Sister Cynthia, I—” Sonia grabbed Cynthia’s clothes.

Seeing this, Cynthia frowned and declined, pulling Sonia up with her.

For Garchomp, given Cynthia and Sonia's weight, carrying one or two doesn't really make much difference.

After the two left.

The mist around the altar, which had been dispersed by the faint light, became thick and hazy again.

In the hazy mist, two handsome figures slowly emerged, stepping on withered branches and fallen leaves.

They were none other than the "Sword and Shield Kings" that Zoroa and Cynthia were searching for, namely Zacian and Zamazenta, whom Xia Yan had previously encountered in the Forest of Slumber!

The two elves, who looked very much like wolves and were covered in thick, stiff fur, also had extremely serious expressions.

Their gazes, too, fell upon the dark clouds rising in the distance.

This is the aura of Eternia; their senses are absolutely correct.

For them, this is an old rival.

Zangmarante turned to look at "sister" Cangxiang.

But Cangxiang silently shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Zangmarante showed a hint of anxiety. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly turned his head.

I looked toward another corner of the Sleepy Forest.

All I saw was...

There, a figure could be seen appearing and disappearing.

In a short time.
