He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4242 Why are it these two again?!

"Then, the future of Galar is in your hands!"

After the last telepathic connection between Zangmarante and his body faded away like the echo of a deep bell, his body began to become transparent.

The outline gradually faded away, eventually merging completely into the surrounding mist and disappearing from sight.

"."

Xiaoyou stared blankly at the gradually dissipating white mist, her brows furrowed.

Why put pressure on her for no reason right before she leaves?

Lowering his gaze, he noticed that his personal attendant was looking up at him, and their eyes met.

"Aww~"

The servant let out a soft cry, as if it understood her meaning. It clasped its hands together in front of its chest, and a pinkish-purple light rippled from its palms.

The mental energy surged outward like a tide, forcefully creating a clear area of ​​vision amidst the thick fog.

Special ability: Spirit Creator, activate!

The view is clear now, but what should we do next?

Xiaoyou rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.

Should we ask Ash or Miss Sonia about the identities of those two thieves in suits?

The thought had barely formed when a joyful shout suddenly came from behind.

"Hey! Xiaoyou, so you've been here all along!?"

Xiaoyou turned around and saw Xiaozhi running towards her with Pikachu and Victini.

Unable to use waveguide power, he had been wandering aimlessly through the Slumbering Forest entirely by instinct.

As I walked, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange purple light in a certain direction, and I followed the light.

I never expected it to be a space for Aegis Riders!

"So there was a lake hidden here?"

Ash walked along the muddy path onto the island, his steps unconsciously becoming lighter.

Looking around, the water was calm and still, and there was a dilapidated altar with crumbling bricks on the island, which seemed to be some important place.

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu, perched on Ash's shoulder, sniffed around intently, its tail standing upright.

I think I smell some kind of canine Pokémon again.

Did that dog just wander here?

"This must be the deepest part of the Sleepy Forest, right?"

Ash walked up to the altar, which was empty except for some pebbles and dust.

Sacrificial

Was it used to worship the ancient god Galar?

"By the way, did you encounter a giant wolf just now?"

"By the way, did you encounter a giant wolf just now?"

At that moment, the two voices overlapped without warning.

Xiaoyou and Xiaozhi were both stunned for a moment, then turned to look at each other.

After a two-second pause, the former smiled slightly and chuckled softly.

"Ash, so you ran into them too?"

She knew it! With so many mythical beasts and magical creatures around him, how could he not encounter one?

It looks like we've encountered another Galilean ancient god.

The two immediately began exchanging their observations.

"What I saw was a giant wolf with an exceptionally fierce aura, and its face was covered with many hideous scars."

"His name should be Zacian!"

Xiao You interrupted, then held up two fingers to explain:

"Two ancient gods in the Galar region, one is called Zacian, whose name means azure blue. The other is called Zamazent, which means saffron red."

Don't be fooled by the slightly awkward name; it's really just two colors.

"Is your name Zacian?"

Xiao Zhi nodded knowingly and continued:

"Yeah, we ran into Zacian, but before it could do anything, Pikachu already swung its tail at us." Xiaoyou: ".?"

She blinked, a little confused by Xiaozhi's logic.

"Ahem, anyway, you know Pikachu's fighting power; one tail strike completely obliterated Zacian's illusion."

Xiao Zhi chuckled twice and scratched the back of his head:

"So intelligence is basically zero."

At most, all that is known is that half of Zacian's ear was cut off.

The giant wolf hadn't appeared again as he walked along the way.

Xiaoyou: "."

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Pikachu.

Ash's Electric Mouse usually looks like his Sobble, not just a pretty face. Turns out it's really this violent!

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu blushed for once and guiltily looked away.

There's no way around it, it's too stressful, it's a physiological problem.

When it encounters a clam, its tail uncontrollably swells and grows larger.

"All right."

Xiao You sighed helplessly. It seemed that both of the Galar Old Gods were looking for suitable human partners.

As it turned out, Ash and Pikachu swiftly chopped down the NPC who was in charge of issuing quests.

Now that things had come to this, she sighed softly and quickly recounted her experience with Zangmarante.

All the unimportant background information is omitted; the key point is—

"Our top priority is to find those two things—the rotten shield and the sword."

"Those two ancient gods seem to have also foreseen that President Loz would cause a terrible disaster and would need to use these two items."

Xiaoyou's tone turned serious, and her eyes became earnest:

"The information that can be confirmed at present is that the key sword and shield were taken by two men wearing suits with strange hairstyles."

"A man in a suit with a strange hairstyle?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned.

Almost instantly, the irritating image of Hisoka and his buddy flashed into my mind.

Xiao You nodded, held up two fingers, and described it in more detail:

"Both of them had golden hair; one's hair stood up like a short sword, while the other's hair resembled a shield."

Xiao Zhi's lips twitched violently, and he blurted out instinctively:

"Why are these two again?!"

Xiao You raised an eyebrow, and said with delight:

"Hey, do you know anything about them?"

Ash nodded, quickened his pace, and recounted his adventure with Zarude in Grass Road Town in just a few words.

"I even raided and destroyed the illegal training base those two people had in Caolu Town."

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and shook it.

The vine bracelet immediately seemed to come alive, extending a two-meter-long vine that even deftly formed a flower in the air.

His vine whip technique is no less impressive than the walking grass by the roadside.

As for these two...

"Later, Syldi and Sord, those two strange-haired men in suits, were taken away by Miss Officer Jenny."

However, it should have been released by now, right?

He had previously received updates from Mr. Yaro, the Gym Leader of Grass Road Town—

As for the gorillas, he had already arranged for ships to send them all back to their native primeval forest.

As for Hisoka and his buddy, since they were not directly involved in illegal poaching, illegal business operations, or the abuse of Pokémon...

They shifted all the blame onto their subordinates.

"In the end, it seems that he was only detained for two days, paid a fine, and then he was released."

Xiao Zhi helplessly shrugged. Capitalists are just too wicked! (End of Chapter)
