Chapter 440: Zacian appears! Is Gary the Hero of the Shield?

"Koharu, did you hear any voice?"

Koharu shook her head in confusion.

She indeed didn't hear any voice.

"Is that so?"

Not far away, the phantom turned around after saying that sentence and moved slowly in one direction.

After entering this fog.

Ash's Aura was already fully activated.

However, this fog seemed somewhat special.

So much so that his Aura couldn't detect the environment nearby.

And after that phantom appeared, Ash had also used Aura to investigate.

However, in the sensing of Aura.

The other party had no physical form; it seemed to be a ghost living in this fog.

Facing the other party's invitation, Ash hesitated for only a second before deciding to follow.

After all, he is Ash!

Is there anything that can stop his footsteps?

The answer is no!

Even if there are thousands of difficulties ahead, Ash will move forward!

Ever since walking into this forest, everything has become somewhat eerie.

Right now.

The only thing that can be trusted is the phantom ahead.

So.

Ash held Koharu's hand and followed behind that figure.

"Uh, do you know where this is? How far is it from Wedgehurst? Do you know Sonia?"

Ash's questions were asked continuously like a rapid-fire gun.

However, the other party had no intention of answering.

After that "Hero of the Sword, please follow me," the other party clearly had no desire to answer.

Although the other party didn't answer his questions, Ash still asked tirelessly.

Just like this.

In the Slumbering Weald, filled with thick fog, only Ash's voice echoed.

I don't know how long it had been.

Koharu felt her legs trembling a little.

But the two still hadn't walked out of this forest wrapped in fog.

Not only that, but things had become even worse.

Because the phantom of the Pokémon that had been leading them forward had actually disappeared!

That is to say.

The two were completely lost in the forest!

From beginning to end, the appearance of the fog and the appearance of the phantom were all a mystery.

Ash also stopped when the phantom disappeared.

In such an unfamiliar environment, one should still maintain the necessary vigilance.

At this moment.

A voice with a clear tone of mockery came from the shadows not far ahead.

"Yo, isn't this Ash?"

Although it was a very ordinary greeting tone, how could this voice sound so unpleasant?

Ash looked in the direction the voice came from.

I saw that in a patch of fog, circles of pale yellow light spots were particularly eye-catching.

Ash pulled Koharu's hand and walked forward two steps.

Only then did the owner of the voice and the Pokémon with shining light spots appear in front of him.

I saw a boy wearing a black leather jacket leaning on a tree branch in a tall tree.

The boy's chestnut-colored hedgehog hair was particularly eye-catching.

And beside him, an Umbreon was squatting obediently.

"Gary? Why are you here?"

The boy on the tree branch was no one else.

It was Ash's close friend since childhood, Gary, who was already a researcher at Professor Oak's Laboratory. ===== CHAPTER 441 =====
