Chapter 445: Aren't there a lot of cute things about Galar?

"Luca————"

After watching Zacian and Zamazenta unleash their special moves up close, Lucario seemed lost in thought.

Compared to the fist techniques of its two masters, the "Giant Beast Slash" and "Giant Beast Bullet" that it had just witnessed were simple and brutal.

Furthermore, the move type is Steel, which is relatively good for him.

I don't currently have any suitable Steel-type moves for offense, and most of the time I just choose the extremely fast Bullet Punch, but its power is obviously not comparable to the special moves of these two powerful Pokémon.

So—this is also a training plan that trainers prepare for themselves in advance, right?

Lucario turned around, glanced at Qingyu, and instantly understood.

Since it's the trainer's decision, it must be achievable.

Okay, I'll learn!

"Luca!"

Lucario closed his eyes, and the demonstration Zacian had given him earlier began to replay in his mind.

First like this, then like this —

Finally, finish it off with one last slash!

Lucario suddenly opened his eyes, mimicking Zacian's earlier actions, and forcefully pushed off the ground, leaping high into the air while swinging the Calamity Sword in his hand.

"Luca!"

After making multiple rapid slashes in mid-air, it gathered all its strength and unleashed another horizontal slash.

"boom-"

The energy left by the previous slash was indeed amplified by this strike, erupting simultaneously, but its power was still significantly weaker than Zacian's technique.

Watching Lucario's movements above, Aoba couldn't help but think to himself.

Although I didn't quite grasp the essence, I can at least say I performed it quite well.

If you can gradually master it through a lot of training, then this move probably won't be too difficult for your own Lucario.

After all, Qingyu had never seen any Pokémon that was more curly than it.

If you're dedicated enough, you can learn not only the Invisible Fist, but also the Giant Beast Slash!

"Roar—"

Zacian also watched the entire process of Lucario using the move, and his expression had become somewhat strange.

Although I had already agreed to the human's request to demonstrate my moves to this Lucario and see if it could learn them.

But when Lucario successfully imitated the prototype of "Beast Slash" in one go, its feelings were still a little complicated.

However, it should be considered a good thing.

In any case, unless that big guy reappears, they will probably stay in the Sleepy Forest to retire.

For some people—and Pokémon—to learn their special moves and make a name for themselves is an interesting thing.

So I'll just give it a little guidance.

Cangxiang and Zangmarante exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

However, just as they were about to use telepathy again to tell Qingyu the training methods for the Giant Beast Slash and Giant Beast Bullet—

The two large dogs with a keen sense of smell suddenly detected the scent of a strange human and immediately frowned.

Humanity, this is the end for today.

Since we agreed to your request, just send Lucario next time. We never go back on our word.

After leaving behind these two sentences, Zacian and Zamarant immediately set off, transforming into two streaks of red and blue lightning and disappearing into the forest. "Luca?"

Lucario tilted its head, seemingly unable to understand why they would choose to leave temporarily.

However, the answer soon came to us on its own.

"Hey, you guys are here."

When Qingyu turned around, a familiar figure appeared on the forest path.

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

"Qingyu/Alchemy Emperor?"

That's right, the person who came was none other than Galarian's "Strongest Champion," the man who has never lost an official match so far!

"Aoba, what brings you to the Galar region all of a sudden?"

Upon discovering that the person who had intruded into the forest was Qingyu, Dan Di scratched his head, and his previously wary expression immediately relaxed.

"Anyway, it's not those two guys who always try to come in and steal the ancient artifacts."

"Those two guys?"

Qingyu raised an eyebrow and quickly realized who he was talking about.

They're probably those two goofballs from the Galatian royal family.

I can't remember his name anymore, I only know it was very abstract, and he did a lot of despicable things.

Perhaps the reason Zacian was so excited when I first arrived was related to their recent actions.

"Hmm—it's a long story, so I'd better not go into it."

Dan Di smiled, then stepped forward and patted Qing Yu on the shoulder.

"Since you're all here, you should at least have told me, the host,!"

"If I hadn't taken a day off and stayed in Hualang Town today, I wouldn't have known that you had secretly come to Galar again."

"Back in Padia, that guy Cibana received a lot of help from you, and he's mentioned you to me quite a bit since we got back!"

"I've seen his Duraludon too. It's indeed a very powerful Pokémon and very suitable for Raihana's weather tactics, although the fact that it can't Gigantamax for the time being is a concern —"

"However, it's already great that you can create more new tactics, and on behalf of the league and Cibana, I thank you!"

Perhaps because he was on vacation, Dan-te, who was completely relaxed, talked for quite a while.

To this, Qingyu simply nodded and then said, "I only came here because I was concerned about the two Pokémon that live in the Misty Forest."

"Two Pokémon? Are they the phantoms that are supposedly often seen in the forest?"

Dan Di was a little confused.

However, Qingyu thought his performance was normal.

After all, due to the deliberate concealment by the descendants of the Galar royal family, the history of Zacian and Zamazent has long been altered beyond recognition.

Furthermore, they deliberately avoided humans, so three thousand years later, the people of Galar only had "phantoms" in their memory, and they could not even prove whether they existed or not.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Dan Di quickly changed the subject and turned to look at Qing Yu again.

"Since we're already here, why don't we just visit Hualang Town?"

"My younger brother and the girl next door are both big fans of Teacher Yu. They would be so happy to meet her in person."

Qingyu blinked.

Dante was probably referring to Hop and Yu, right?

Based on the current timeline, both of them, like Marie, should not have officially become trainers yet.

I never expected that at such a young age he would start learning Coach Yu's excellent tactics. No wonder he is a child who can become a champion and a formidable opponent in the future.

"sure."

Qingyu accepted the Pill Emperor's invitation without hesitation.

Besides the mythical beasts, he also wants to get to know more champions in this world, as well as future champions.

Xiao You, who is Dan Di's neighbor, is one of them.

Hualang Town is an ordinary town located in the southern part of the Galer region.

The main business here is running ranches, and the people and Pokémon have lived in harmony and friendship for many years.

Of course, compared to Woolstaff and Moo Moo Milk, the most famous local product is undoubtedly the Dante Champion, who has been active on screen in recent years and has become a new idol for countless Galar members.

"It's really nice, with a relaxed style that's very similar to Little Key Town."

Walking along the paths of Hualang Town, Qingyu admired the surrounding scenery and sighed with emotion.

"Yes, I also really like this kind of life where I don't have to think too much and every day is fulfilling."

Dan Di smiled, then his expression turned somewhat troubled.

"Unfortunately, becoming a champion is too much of a luxury for me, and I can only realize it after I retire."

As expected of the champion, he effortlessly uttered the Versailles Declaration.

Qingyu silently complained to herself.

I have a feeling that none of the Pokémon world champions, including Cynthia, really have any concept of the "champion" title.

But there's nothing they can do about it; their talent is undeniable, and winning the championship might not be too difficult for them.

-

I'll fight you genius freaks to the death!

"We're here, this is my home."

Soon, Dan Di led Qing Yu to a two-story house.

It was almost exactly as he remembered it, which even made him feel a little nostalgic.

Qingyu quickly turned his gaze to the side and, sure enough, saw a very simple battleground not far from the Dan Emperor's house.

On either side of the field, a boy and a girl seemed to be playing with Woolbraided sheep, completely unaware of his and Dan's arrival.

"Hey, Hop! And Yu too! I've brought some guests back!"

Dan Di smiled and called out in that direction, and the two of them turned around.

Then, unsurprisingly, he showed a very surprised expression.

"Brother—and—"

"Teacher Yu?!?"

Hep was the first to react and immediately ran towards the two of them with an excited expression.

The girl in the round hat who was abandoned by him didn't come to her senses for a few seconds, and her eyes immediately lit up with a bright light.

The boy and girl ran over one after the other, looking at Qingyu with expectant expressions.

"Teacher Yu, my name is Hep, and I'm your biggest fan! Even my brother knows that!"

Hep spoke first, and you could tell from his skin color that he was related to Leon by blood.

"Hello, Hep."

Qingyu responded with a smile, then turned her gaze to the chestnut-haired girl in a round, flat hat next to Hep.

"It's actually Teacher Yu in person!"

"Even Teacher Lian Yu could be invited here, Mr. Dan Di is truly amazing!"

The girl named Xiaoyou subconsciously sighed, but quickly realized that her words seemed inappropriate, so two blushes immediately appeared on her face.

"Ah—that—"

"I'm Xiaoyou, please forget what I just said, Teacher Yu!"

However, it actually made her look even cuter.

As expected of Xiaoyou, she's so cute!

Qingyu couldn't help but think.

(Xiaoyou, the female protagonist of Sword and Shield)

Thinking about it, aren't there just too many adorable things in Galar?

Aside from Yu and Mary, who are designated as adorable characters, Sonia, Lurina, and Clara from the DLC also have their own unique characteristics.

There must be a reason behind this place!

"Alright, Qingyu is here in Hualang Town as a guest this time. Let's have dinner together later."

Dan patted Hep's head, then turned to look at Qingyu.

"How is it, Teacher Yu?"

"sure."

Qingyu shrugged, then suddenly asked curiously.

"By the way, haven't Hop and Yu become trainers yet?"

"No, they won't receive their starter Pokémon until next year and officially embark on their journey."

Dan Di offered to explain on their behalf.

Qingyu nodded, having gained a general understanding of Galar's current timeline.

It looks like it will be about a year before Chairman Loz launches the plan and releases "Dark Night" ahead of schedule.

So they're not in a big hurry, and even if something goes wrong, they have the two "legendary heroes," Zacian and Zamazent, to back them up.

Although Eternatus's on-paper battle power is incredibly exaggerated, and the disasters it caused are quite devastating even in the world of Pokémon, which is full of talented Pokémon, but—

Galar has its own excellent matchmaking system.

The monster with insane stats just happened to run into a pair of siblings whose mechanics completely countered it, plus the undisputed "strongest champion" Dan, at least for now.

As long as they dare to show their faces, they can be easily dealt with even without their own Galar.

That's the most humiliating level one god I've ever heard of!

Just as Qingyu was thinking this, her clothes were suddenly tugged by little Hop in front of her.

He then stopped thinking and turned his gaze to Hep.

"Teacher Yu! I have a request, and I hope you can grant it!"

Hep then suddenly spoke loudly, attracting the attention of the other three.

"You tell me first."

Qingyu did not agree immediately, but he had a vague guess in his mind: could it be that he was going to have a Pokémon battle with Dan Di?

Soon, Hep made a request that was similar to what he had guessed: "Teacher Yu, I heard that you fought against Brother Qibana once and even won!"

"Can I battle my brother too? I want to witness a battle between powerful trainers in person!"

really----

Qingyu thought to himself, "Just as I thought. Leon and Hop are practically identical, and the younger brother might even be more enthusiastic about Pokémon battles."

Unfortunately, he encountered his lifelong rival, Xiao You, who was the "future champion" with the protagonist's script.

"What do you mean, Qingyu?"

Hearing Hep's words, Dan Di, who was standing to the side, also became interested and looked at Qing Yu to ask.

"Me too! I really want to see Teacher Yu's fighting style for myself!"

Even Xiaoyou raised her hand, blinking her starry eyes and looking at Qingyu expectantly.

"————That's possible."

Qingyu nodded. It would be impolite for him to refuse now that things had come to this.

"However, I only brought Lucario this time, so let's do a 1v1 battle, how about that?"

"Of course! I've been looking forward to playing against you for a long time."

Dan Di raised his hands and bumped his fists together, looking ready to fight.

"After all, even that discerning Qibana expressed great admiration for you, Qingyu. It would be a real shame to miss out on a match with such a strong opponent!"

After saying that, Dan Di walked straight to the rather simple battlefield.

"This is fine, is it okay?"

"certainly."

Qingyu nodded and followed.

Perfect timing! Let's use this battle against Leon to test out Lucario's new style!
