Chapter 442

"Don't just hear it; that's a fact! I have already reached 799th place in the Great Ball Class! I will soon be promoted to the Ultra Ball Class!"

"Is that so? Then I really have to congratulate you. However, I have some bad news for you: I am also participating in this World Coronation Series."

As he spoke.

Gary walked in front of Ash and extended two fingers.

0 ········ Seeking flowers 0 ······

"Me, I have already reached 20th place in the Ultra Ball Class, oh. Maybe in a while, I will be able to reach the Masters Eight."

Hearing this.

Ash was not as angry as Gary had imagined, but instead showed an excited look.

"Really? That's great! On the journey to reach the top as the strongest Champion, if I didn't have you, my rival, as an obstacle on my path forward, I would feel very bored."

"When you chose to become a researcher, I was sad for a long time."

Ash said with some emotion.

Although he also supported Gary's decision to become a researcher.

But seeing Gary appear in front of him again as a Trainer.

That excited feeling could not be erased.

"Is that so?"

Gary smiled with relief.

"Then you better be prepared; with me here, the title of strongest Champion will definitely be taken by me!"

"Who's afraid of whom! Don't cry when you lose!"

【Professor Oak: I didn't expect Gary to finally choose to walk the path of a researcher.】

【Professor Cerise: Gary has had talent in Pokémon research since he was a child; doesn't becoming a researcher just release his talent?】

【Professor Oak: That's true, but this child has been influenced by Blue since he was a child; his ideal was to become the strongest Trainer. Seeing Gary's sudden change gives me an unreal illusion.】

In Professor Oak's Laboratory.

Professor Oak slowly put down the instant noodles in his hand.

Just as he said.

If possible.

He would rather Gary realize his own dream.

As for being a researcher, that can wait until Gary realizes his dream before researching.

....... 0

After all, he himself chose to retire only after becoming a Champion.

There are no weak Trainers who come out of Pallet Town!

Gary belongs to the top batch in terms of both Trainer talent and researcher talent.

It's just a pity that Gary is a human and hasn't learned how to clone himself.

He cannot realize both talents at the same time.

Otherwise, imagine a professor standing in front of you in a lab coat, taking out a Poké Ball and defeating the strongest Champion.

This scene would be too impactful!

【Steven: I have met this kid Gary; although he lost to Ash in the Silver Conference, it definitely wasn't because he was weak; rather, Ash was too strong.】

【Gary: Alright, Champion Steven, it's impolite to keep talking about it!】

【Cynthia: No matter which path you choose to walk, you must remember never to slack off. Talent that is not realized is talent forever! Only by realizing talent into strength will you not regret it.】

【Ash: Gary! If you don't work hard, the one standing shoulder to shoulder with Brother Red in the future will be me!】

【Gary: You guy, don't look down on me!】

……

In the screen—

Ash and Gary were still bickering endlessly.

After all.

Even if they met, they had no way to leave this place for the time being.

Since those two unknown Pokémon brought them here.

That means there must be something here.

One of them is called the Hero of the Sword, and the other is called the Hero of the Shield.

Perhaps a great sword and a giant shield are buried here.

After this thought turned in Koharu's mind.

She immediately told the two people in front of her.

Hearing Koharu's words, Ash and Gary both felt it made sense.

So, the two started searching on the spot.

The fog here is also very thick.

But it hasn't reached the point where you can't see your fingers.

To prevent the three from getting separated, Ash and the others walked side by side.

Sure enough, as they expected.

After walking a distance.

A damaged altar appeared before their eyes.

"Ash, Gary, here!"

Koharu, who was sandwiched between the two, immediately shouted to the two beside her.

Hearing Koharu's shout.

Ash and Gary immediately rushed to Koharu's side.

"Look over there!"

Following the direction of Koharu's finger.

Ash and Gary also saw the altar.

The altar is not big.

However, looking at its appearance, it seems to be used for sacrifice.

Ash looked at the altar, and after finding that there was nothing else around.

Ash walked into the altar in three or two steps.

Seeing Ash being so reckless, Gary sighed and followed behind him.

As they approached.

The two also saw the two objects placed in the center of the altar.

"The sword and shield used by the legendary Hero of Sword and Shield wouldn't be these two things, right?"

Gary looked at the small sword and shield in the center of the altar and wanted to complain.

Ash picked up the sword and shield, gave the shield to Gary, and then carefully observed the sword in his hand.

The sword looked somewhat decayed, but many unknown patterns could be vaguely seen on its body.

It's just that the size of this sword and shield is truly a bit mini.

It looks like a child's toy!

"So why does Galar want us two outsiders to save it?" ===== CHAPTER 443 =====
