Chapter 529

It is determination! It is conviction!

"That's amazing, Sirfetch'd! We did it!"

Seeing that the attack was effective.

Ash immediately picked up the Sirfetch'd beside him.

No, wait, the Sirfetch'd now had already evolved into a Sirfetch'd!

A look of helplessness was revealed in Sirfetch'd's wise eyes.

The duck had grown up and no longer needed those loving hugs.

Sirfetch'd moved its body, breaking free from Ash's embrace.

Finally, it took two steps forward to pick up the leek on the ground.

Holding the sword in its left hand and the shield in its right!

The brave knight of sword and shield has returned to its post!

After securing its sword and shield, Sirfetch'd performed an extremely solemn knight's salute to Ash.

It was as if it were declaring that Ash was the master it would follow for a lifetime!

Such a tsundere Sirfetch'd made Diantha smile repeatedly.

Just a moment ago, the Farfetch'd was still in a state of needing comfort.

Who knew it would turn into a tsundere in the blink of an eye!

Sure enough, evolution changes a Pokémon's personality.

Of course, it's also possible that Sirfetch'd is just faking it.

Just evolved, wanting to show off a little!

At this moment.

Amidst the ruins.

Wikstrom stood up in terror.

He subconsciously touched his neck, and only after confirming that his neck was still on his body did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Too terrifying!

That strike just now, after crossing his Aegislash, had been placed directly against his neck.

If not for the protection of this suit of armor.

Wikstrom didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

Are young people these days all this terrifying?

Actually using a toy sword to slash out sword Qi.

Could it be that Ash is the true knight?

And he himself is just a fake.

In an instant.

Wikstrom's body turned gray-white.

"Uncle Wikstrom, thank you so much! My Sirfetch'd has finally evolved."

The one speaking was Ash.

After putting away the Rusted Sword, he immediately waved to thank Wikstrom.

After opening the door to its heart.

Farfetch'd had completely said goodbye to the past.

It had found a path that belonged to it.

Hearing Ash's voice, Wikstrom finally came back to his senses.

Originally, the purpose of him opening this Knight Dojo was to promote the spirit of chivalry.

And Ash, along with his Pokémon Sirfetch'd, was the best promotional material.

The fear from just a moment ago was instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

Carrying his Aegislash.

Wikstrom moved directly to Ash's side.

He pulled a mobile phone out of his steel armor.

Then he took a bunch of photos of himself and Ash.

At the same time, he began editing text directly on his social media.

"The first knight of the Knight Dojo is born! He is Ash from Pallet Town! If anyone wants to become a knight like Ash, come quickly to the Kalos Knight Dojo!"

After editing the nine-grid photo with himself, Ash, Sirfetch'd, and Aegislash in the center.

Wikstrom clicked send.

Great!

He had been worrying about how to promote his Knight Dojo!

After doing all this.

Wikstrom patted Ash's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Thanks to you, Ash, otherwise, I don't know when this dojo of mine would have been able to train a true knight."

"You don't know, my Knight Dojo has been open for three years now! Three years! A full three years without a single person being able to pass the first trial!"

"Wuu wuu~"

Seemingly thinking of his experiences over these three years.

Wikstrom burst into tears on the spot.

This action caused everyone else, including Ash, to take a step back.

There was no help for it.

Mainly because they were afraid of being infected by a virus called "youth."

【Flint: Uncle Wikstrom! So moving, when I return from Paldea, I must participate in your knight trial, and I will definitely become a true knight too.】

【Volkner: You guy, have you been infected by something! Don't learn this kind of thing! You are the Fire-type Elite Four, what use is learning the spirit of chivalry for you!】

【Flint: It's not of much use, but it's cool! Think about it, before a battle, my Infernape performs a knight's salute to the opponent, look how cool that is!】

【Lucian: It's fine, this guy won't be able to show off for long.】

At this time.

Cynthia was still on the plane heading to Paldea!

The countdown to the doomsday of Sinnoh's Fire-type Elite Four, Flint, was about to begin!

In the screen—

The trial at the Knight Dojo was completed very successfully.

Even Diantha was somewhat surprised by the talent of Ash and Sirfetch'd.

You have to know that this Knight Dojo had been open for a full three years.

Three years!

And it only produced one successful graduate, Ash!

Back when she heard that Ash was going to seek Wikstrom's help.

Diantha's heart was leaping with joy.

According to her thoughts, Ash would definitely have to stay in Galar for a period of time to successfully comprehend the way of the knight.

In that case, she would have more time to spend alone with Ash.

It was worth it for her to cancel several appointments.

Who knew the process would be so smooth!

It didn't even take more than a day.

Not only did Ash successfully receive Wikstrom's praise, but even that Farfetch'd evolved into a Pokémon she had never seen before.

So annoying!

How did the "two-person journey" she had planned turn out like this.

Diantha's face puffed up like a bun.

Even the Pikachu in her arms felt that something was wrong.

How did the strength of this woman holding it become greater and greater!
