He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4287 Leaving Quanguan City!

Afterwards, Cibana stayed behind at the Treasure Vault Castle to clean up the mess.

That old castle area is quite large, and no one knows what other places inside, besides the dungeons, have been secretly modified.

Also, those bluffers and trembling salamanders need to be dealt with—

Letting them continue to guard the treasure vault castle seems like a good option.

As for Sonia, since she had no direct evidence, she could only keep the matter to herself with tears in her eyes.

There were no street cameras, no castle cameras, and the only person who actually showed up was Chairman Loz's secretary.

From beginning to end, Chairman Loz himself was "completely clean".

Even if there were evidence, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

Ash has already imagined the scene—

Inside the Galar Court, President Loz stood on a high platform, playing with his flamboyant bangs, and looking down with a smile.

"Who is standing below the stage, and why are you suing this chairman?"

The aloof and beautiful female secretary beside him stared blankly, hands on her hips.

Sonia stood below, her face filled with grief and indignation, silent.

In the Galar region, there's really no one who can deal with that man using legitimate methods.

So the next day, at the entrance of the Pokémon Center in Motostoke.

A flying taxi was already parked there, still driven by a burly man in a dog-head hat and accompanied by a majestic Steel-armored Raven.

"Thank you so much this time~ Especially you, Victini~"

Sonia stood beside the carriage, smiling as she ruffled Bictini's hair.

She already knew that this strange mythical beast was the one who had done the great work this time.

As for the spoils brought out of the castle, there were also the precious documents, materials, and books piled up in the corners of the prison cells.

She had already asked Chibana to find several Mighty Beasts, and they were all packed up and shipped back to Woodpole Town.

There's no other way. Since we can't do anything substantial to Chairman Loz for the time being, going to confront him directly might just cause me to inexplicably fall into a coma again.

Sonia could only return to the research institute to organize the data.

—In some ways, it seems like it's still Chairman Rose's script?!

She remained nonchalant, thinking that there was still some time before the Alliance Conference, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

"I'll be going now, I'll contact you again if I hear anything~"

After saying that, Sonia climbed into the carriage.

The Steel-armored Raven flapped its wings and took flight, gripping the carriage as it ascended into the sky, quickly flying away into the distance.

Only Ash and Marie remained in the same spot.

Watching the taxi drive away, Xiao Zhi felt much more relaxed.

Finding Sonia was a relief, a real weight lifted off my shoulders.

As for Chairman Loz's dangerous plan, we'll deal with it as it comes.

If that day ever comes, we can just send Pikachu up!

So he turned to look at Mary.

"So, where are you going next? Are you going back to Armor Island to cultivate in seclusion?"

There is exactly one month left until the Galar League Conference opens.

There are still forty days until the Masters-level main draw for the top eight in the World Championship.

He should be able to reach the Masters level in about five or six more games, which is about one game every seven days on average. He has plenty of time.

Mary didn't answer immediately. After hesitating for a moment, her gaze involuntarily fell on Ash.

Changing the subject, as if asking casually:

"By the way, I heard that a trainer has been staying at your house recently?"

"Trainer, are you talking about Yu?"

Xiao Zhi belatedly nodded:

"Yes, she's living in my watchtower castle now."

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes lit up.

"By the way, Yu has already collected all eight badges, and she'll be participating in the upcoming Galar League Tournament. You two might face off!"

Mary listened quietly and nodded gently. "Yes, she's my formidable rival."

Of course, the formidable rival refers to the League Conference—

She had naturally heard of Xiao You's reputation long ago.

Currently, among the new trainers in Galar, regardless of seniority or age, besides the champions and Elite Four members, these two are the most watched trainers.

However, to be honest, Mary knew in her heart that her reputation was somewhat exaggerated.

After all, Xiaoyou earned her position through her own hard work and dedication.

Even with the support and encouragement from the cheering squads in various places, our team could only barely keep pace with the opponent.

"And, did she already collect all the badges?"

She stared intently, and judging from Xiaozhi's tone, it seemed that he and Xiaoyou had a very good relationship.

That's true; if the relationship isn't good, you wouldn't let the other person stay at your home.

"He's my formidable rival."

Mary lowered her gaze and pursed her lips.

Thinking of this, a faint blush rose to her cheeks, and she tried to keep her tone calm.

"Well, speaking of which..."

Mary slightly averted her gaze, as if casually mentioning:

"I don't seem to have anywhere to go lately."

Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Nowhere to go?"

Spiketown or Isle of Armor, aren't they both great places?

He was just about to say that when, for no apparent reason, the image of the Mr. Mime's patiently admonishing face popped into his mind.

So the words that were on the tip of her tongue took a sharp turn.

"In that case, come back to the watchtower with me."

Xiao Zhi laughed loudly and said:

"Anyway, I have plenty of empty rooms and enough space for special training."

After all, the entire open field is a very suitable place for special training.

Mary seemed to consider it seriously for a moment before nodding:

"In that case, well, I'll leave the rest of the time to you."

His tone was calm and natural.

But in his lowered eyes, there was a hint of unconcealed lightness.

The two of them didn't rush to leave.

After quickly packing my luggage, I spent half a day wandering around the city of Motogakure.

However, the most famous attractions in Motogaku City are Treasure Vault Castle and Motogaku Arena Tower.

They've already visited the former; they only need to look at the antiques and treasures once.

While ordinary people can freely enter and exit the lower and middle levels of the latter, the top area, which resembles a pink flower bud, is not open to the public and can only be seen from afar.

The remaining neighborhoods didn't offer anything particularly novel.

They all look pretty much the same; they're all modern buildings constructed to resemble ancient castles.

So before evening, the two of them headed south towards the Dragon Head exit of the city.

There are still many restrictions on flying in Hammerlocke.

Apart from the official flying taxis provided by the Galar Alliance, personal flying partners must leave the city before they can be used normally.

Otherwise, even if they were just flying from inside the city to outside, they would be attacked by the bluffing demon guards on the city walls as if they were violating regulations.

Emerging once again from that menacing dragon-head staircase—

The light was dim, and night had fallen. At this time of day, Longtouchengkou already had an intimidating aura, looking quite frightening.

boom!boom!

The two released their Pokémon, mounted their Corviknight and Vulpix, and flew south! (End of Chapter)
