Not a Trainer This Time

 Chapter 255 The King and the King (4k)

 The night enveloped the earth, and the whole world fell into silence.

The Pokémon that lived near the giant tree hills gradually returned to their nests, yawned, and slept peacefully in them.

Occasionally, some nocturnal Pokémon pass by nearby, and their running makes a rustling sound from the grass.

Standing on the hills, you can see the surface of the Galar Sea in the distance. Due to ocean currents, the temperature here is not as cold as that in the northern part of the snowfield.

 It is precisely because of this that such a rich wild Pokémon ecology has been created here.

　　Naoki sat in front of the campfire with several Pokémon and King Lei Guan.

After hearing that Naoki was preparing to leave the Crown Snowfield tomorrow, King Lei Guan cast his eyes on the distant Galar region, and then said softly to Naoki:

 “Before I leave, I want to go somewhere.”

Zhi Shu was very surprised: "Where are you going?"

King Lei Guan: "The place where the King of Swords and the King of Shields are located."

The King of Sword and the King of Shield... aren't those the other two legendary Pokémon in the Galar region, Cang Xiang and Zamarant?

Zhishu was startled, and then asked in surprise: "Do you know Cang Xiang and Zangmarante?"

King Lei Guan nodded slightly: "I once faced the disaster that destroyed the Galar region with him."

This should refer to the dark night caused by Wuji Tai, right?

Naoki couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me what happened in the past?"

 Things that happened at that time have long been blurred in modern times. People have forgotten King Lei Guan, and do not remember Cang Xiang and Zangmarant. They only remember that a hero holding a sword and shield saved the Galar region.

 In the game, this period of history is not explained in detail, and players can only guess by themselves through some fragments of words and clues.

King Lei Guan looked majestic. He nodded and said: "Of course, since you want to know, then I will tell you everything!"

Zhi Shu immediately moved a small bench and sat in a row with the old Leden Motor Lizard, listening to King Lei Guan's story about the past by the campfire.

“A long time ago, I led my beloved horses and the humans who believed in me to live on this land together.”

“One day, through predicting the future, I saw that an unprecedented catastrophe would befall the Galar region in the near future.”

“In order to deal with this disaster, I summoned two other strong men living on this land, Cang Xiang and Zangmarant.”

“After they heard about what was going to happen in the future, they promised me that they were willing to prevent that disaster.”

“So, I performed a coronation ceremony for them at the Crown Temple, giving them my “King’s Power”, and another Pokémon named Melmeta made weapons for them. "

“The fusion of “King’s Power” and weapons gave Cang Xiang and Zangmarant the power to fight against disasters. "

“After that, they went to prevent the disaster, and I and my beloved horse used our mental power to transfer the Pokémon in the mountains and forests.”

“My power was exhausted because of this. After ensuring the safety of the Pokémon in the mountain forest, I was forced to fall into a deep sleep. I don’t know what happened after that.”

 “So that’s it…” Naoki murmured.

King Lei Guan looked at him and continued: "However, I can feel that the power of disaster still remains on this land. Perhaps the source of the disaster has not been completely eliminated."

“This time when I went to the location of the King of Sword and the King of Shield, I wanted to tell them about this matter so that they could be prepared to deal with it.”

Naoki could feel that King Lei Guan still cared about the Galar region.

He couldn't help but ask: "Won't you stay and fight with them against that disaster?"

King Lei Guan shook his head slightly: "I am no longer needed here. When my power returned to its peak, I used Prediction of the Future."

“This time, I saw that the King of Sword and the King of Shield would completely defeat the source of the disaster with the help of two humans.”

 “That’s it…” Naoki suddenly realized.

Those two human beings mentioned by King Lei Guan should be Xiao You, the protagonist of Sword and Shield, and Hepu, Dan Emperor’s younger brother, right?

 But there was one more thing that concerned him.

The swords and shields of Cang Xiang and Zangmarant were actually made by Melumeta?

This is really unexpected!

 After understanding everything he wanted to know, Naoki couldn't help but sigh.

From King Leiguan’s story, he could almost imagine how this group of legendary Pokémon united to deal with the Infinite Tina in that era.

"well."

 Wing Lei Guan asked puzzledly: "Why are you sighing?"

Naoki felt that King Lei Guan should know all this: "That disaster was called "Dark Night" by humans. After you fell asleep, Cang Xiang and Zangmarant successfully repelled Dark Night. After that, they lived in seclusion. stand up. "

“After the dark night disappeared, the humans at that time began to become active. They established a kingdom and stole the identities of the heroes Cang Xiang and Zangmarant, making people who didn’t know the truth mistakenly think that the Galar royal family saved the Galar region.”

“Until now, the people here are still kept in the dark, thinking that it was the royal family that repelled the dark night.”

Hearing this, King Lei Guan immediately knew that his little followers were complaining about them.

He shook his head gently: "I don't care about this false reputation. At that time, the Sword King and I just wanted to protect the Pokémon living on this land. To me, this is what a qualified king should do. matter."

“What’s more, everything I know and those who believe in me have long since passed away, and I will no longer lament this.”

 Naoki: “…”

　　That's right.

 He sighed helplessly: "Okay."

   *

 Early the next morning, Zhi Shu and King Lei Guan left the Giant Tree Hills on horseback with Gu Ledun.

What Naoki regretted was that he found no trace of the three sacred birds of Galar here this time, otherwise he would have asked Gu Ledun to catch a few and take them home to raise.

 No Pokémon player can resist the temptation of rare beasts, and Naoki is certainly one of them.

Seeing the expression on his face, King Lei Guan was puzzled: "Why are you so disappointed?"

 Guluton on the side understood it instantly. No one knew Naoki better than him.

 Guluton had a speechless expression on his face.

Sure enough, the next second it heard Naoki say: "...I have seen in human exploration notes that there are three legendary bird Pokémon living in that giant tree, but it's a pity that I didn't see them this time. "

Hearing this, King Lei Guan immediately knew which three Pokémon he was talking about.

“They do not live here, but occasionally stay on the treetops to rest. If the three of them bump into each other, they will fight with each other.”

"It seems I didn't pick the right time." Naoki said regretfully.

Huluton sighed helplessly: "Ah, geez..." (Really...)

King Lei Guan smiled slightly: "If you want to see them, I can accompany you here to look for them in the future."

"Forget it." Naoki said, "Let's wait until we have time to talk about it! There are still a lot of things to be busy with after we go back."

 For example, asking Kelly to help build stables to prepare for rebuilding the forest next spring.

There are two ghost horses and snowstorm horses. It seems that they have a strong sense of territory, so he has to build a separate stable for each horse.

During this journey back, Zhi Shu did not return to Dong Ning Village, but directly returned to the sledding field with King Lei Guan on another road.

The steam train to the Galar region stops there.

At the outskirts of the snowfield, Naoki stopped riding Guledon and asked King Lei Guan: "We are going to the Galar region by car. We may see other humans then. Do you want to see them?"

King Lei Guan thought for a moment, thinking that humans nowadays probably don't know him anymore, so he said indifferently: "Yes."  "That's okay." Naoki turned his attention to Linyouma and Snowstorm Horse again: "There is one more thing. Large Pokémon are not allowed on the train, so I need to put them in Poké Balls, is that okay?"

 “Elf ball?” King Lei Guan’s expression showed confusion.

 Zhi Shu took out an ordinary red and white elf ball and explained:

“It’s this kind of prop that was developed by humans to carry Pokémon. You can put Pokémon in it by pressing a button and take them with you anywhere.”

 He ​​carefully introduced to King Lei Guan the relationship between humans and Pokémon in this era, as well as trainers, breeders, and other professions that are closely related to Pokémon.

King Lei Guan nodded while listening. When Naoki finished speaking, he said, "I understand. If that's the case, then you can take your two beloved horses into it!"

Zhishu nodded, stepped forward and touched the heads of the ghost horse and the snowstorm horse respectively, then took out two empty poke **** and put them against their heads.

With two red lights flashing, the bodies of Ghost Horse and Snowstorm Horse were drawn into the ball.

 Perhaps he got the recognition of the two horses, the Poke Ball only shook slightly, and then became completely quiet.

 This means that the conquest is successful.

Seeing this magical scene, King Lei Guan opened his eyes in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.

 “What kind of method is this?”

"Uh..." Naoki thought for a while and replied: "It seems to be based on the principle that Pokémon shrink when they are weak, but I don't know the details."

“Can I also enter it?” King Lei Guan suddenly asked: “To you humans, I should also be considered a Pokémon.”

 Naoki: "Okay?"

Lei Guanwang looked eager to try.

Zoki could only take out the third poke ball, press the button, and put King Lei Guan into it.

Perhaps it was because King Lei Guan had a higher favorability towards him. This time, the elf ball didn’t even sway and became quiet.

After a while, King Lei Guan ran out of the elf ball.

"Interesting." The former King of Galar said with emotion: "Humans are really a very intelligent race."

King Lei Guan thought of what Naoki just said about the relationship between trainers and Pokémon, and asked: "In this case, I can be considered your Pokémon, right? Trainer, I will ask for your advice in the future!"

 Naoki: “…”

In order to prevent King Lei Guan from misunderstanding something, Naoki explained: "I am not a trainer, and I am not good at training Pokémon. Like you, I am also a farmer."

 “Hahahaha!” King Lei Guan suddenly laughed: “You are right, I am no longer a king. From now on, we are all farmers farming!”

 Naoki: “…”

The two of them continued to move forward and returned to the station on the snowy field along the way they came.

Just when he was about to arrive at his destination, Naoki suddenly saw a very conspicuous warning line on the road ahead, and a red mark symbolizing extreme danger was also placed nearby, which seemed to indicate what danger was happening here. thing.

 The station ahead has its doors closed and the lights dim.

"Um?"

 Naoki frowned.

 Wang Lei Guan on the side also seemed to have noticed something, and said seriously: "I sensed an unusual aura..."

He turned his head and saw a fire shooting into the sky among the mountains in the distance, and even the sky was reflected in a fiery red.

Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun also noticed that scene.

what happened? A fire breaks out in a snowfield with sub-zero temperatures?

This is too weird!

At this moment, a low and strange wheezing sound suddenly came from the air.

Immediately afterwards, an abnormal red creature that resembled a humanoid mosquito landed from the sky in front of Naoki and King Lei Guan.

It was a creature whose entire body was covered in terrifyingly swollen muscles.

There are two pairs of translucent bright red wings on its back. Its head is small and flat, with a cold light shining under its spherical black eyes, and a sharp, sharp-sharp mouth.

 The ultimate alien beast!

 The first time he saw the creature, its name appeared in Naoki's mind.

　　Explosive muscle mosquito!

 But how could it be? ! How did the ultimate beast from the Alola region come to the Galar region? !

Just when he was slightly dazed, the muscle-exploding mosquito suddenly raised its thick arm and leaned toward its head, making an extremely standard bodybuilding movement.

With the pulsating muscles, it can be clearly felt that this explosive muscle mosquito seems to be showing off its explosive muscles.

"Danger!"

 Suddenly a vigilant voice came from not far away.

Zhi Shu turned his head and saw a man wearing a Galar Alliance uniform running over quickly with a Kirby beast beside him.

He cast his eyes on Naoki and said quickly: "Please leave here! This place has been blocked by the Galar Alliance, and the station is temporarily closed. Please choose other roads to the Galar region!"

However, before he finished speaking, the Explosive Mosquito seemed to be disturbed, with an angry expression on its face.

The muscles all over its body expanded rapidly, a huge buzzing sound came from its abdomen, its red body was as fast as lightning, and the strong wind blew up the man's hat.

The man was slightly startled, but before he could recover, he heard his Kirby beast let out a cry of pain.

The man turned his head and saw that the muscular creature was hugging the Kirby beast tightly. Regardless of the Kirby beast's struggle, it pierced the Kirby beast's neck with its spiky mouth.

 As for the struggling Kirby, its originally broad body was becoming shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it was cut into a piece of skin and collapsed weakly on the snow!

 The man's eyes are about to burst.

　　The swollen muscles of the Explosive Mosquito's body seemed to be flowing with lava. It was like a wall blocking the man's body, looking down at him from top to bottom.

Zhi Shu was startled by this sudden scene.

 Wang Leiguan on the side also frowned after seeing that scene.

Seeing that the Explosive Mosquito was about to attack the man, King Lei Guan said in a majestic tone: "Be bold!"

 The Explosive Muscle Mosquito was indeed attracted to his attention.

Zhi Shu also reacted at this time. Seeing that King Lei Guan wanted to take action, he immediately took out the elf ball and released a horse at will.

 White light flashed, and the ghost horse appeared in front of King Lei Guan.

 Explosive Muscle Mosquito's momentum surged, and he rushed towards King Leiguan with a roar.

  King Lei Guan flashed and rode on the back of the ghost horse.

A powerful spiritual power swept across the surroundings, and the ghost energy on the ghost horse instantly surged and boiled.

 Suddenly, countless purple phosphorus fires quietly emerged from around King Lei Guan.

Leiguan Wang waved his right hand, and the sky full of phosphorus fire fell towards the Explosive Muscle Mosquito like a meteor.

　　The man who was frightened by the Explosive Mosquito was already dumbfounded.

What kind of Pokémon is that? !
