He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4330 Slaying the Commander, On the Eve of Evolution!

The real value of these two people lies in the ancient secrets they possess.

It may not exist in any Galatian history books or murals, but has only been passed down among generations of royal families and nobles.

"Is that why we had no choice but to cooperate with these two people to develop weapons in the mines?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi frowned.

However, such weapons usually come at an extremely high, or even devastating, cost, right?

For example, the ultimate weapon of the Kalos region, while powerful enough to end the ancient war in one fell swoop, comes at the cost of taking away the life force of countless Pokémon.

For example, the technologically advanced mechanical kingdom we encountered before required sacrificing Magiana and taking her soul to use their ancestral technological weapons.

"A high-tech weapon capable of defeating a Dynamax dragon!"

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but show a worried expression.

The cost will likely be substantial!

However, there was some good news as well.

After all, using this unknown mining weapon is the second option.

President Loz probably knows the price will be extremely high, and he won't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.

All you need to do is defeat the Dynamax Dragon at the very beginning.

wrong!

Ash paused for a moment, wondering why he assumed that a Dynamax dragon would definitely appear.

The most important thing to do was to stop Chairman Rose's summoning ritual from the very beginning!

Looking down at the bustling mine below, Xiao Zhi's expression darkened again.

President Loz is probably serious this time; without resorting to violence, it's unlikely he can stop them.

I'll still try my best to stop it.

Xiao Zhi sighed softly.

To be honest, he had a pretty good impression of Chairman Loz.

When they first met, the other party even gave him a high-tech bicycle that was quite expensive.

If Chairman Rose really summons the Max Dragon, regardless of whether he ultimately succeeds in controlling the situation and fulfilling his expectations...

It's unlikely that he'll be able to stay in his position as president of the Galar Alliance.

He didn't want to see those "upper-class nobles" sitting in the chairman's seat!

After retrieving Mr. Mime, Ash casually shook his wrist.

A thought crossed my mind.

Whoosh—!

The vine bracelet that Sarud gave him instantly extended two vines, binding Sord and Syldi into a strange position.

Incidentally, they also stuffed balls into the mouths of the two of them.

"Is that all right now?"

Xiao Zhi smiled and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Even if they woke up early, they couldn't move their bodies; only their feet could move with difficulty.

It's estimated that they'd have to wriggle their way to the edge of the balcony and make a lot of noise to get the miners below to come up and rescue them.

That's enough for me to go back to Jiqing City to take care of things!

Ash casually tossed aside his miner's clothes and hat, went to the balcony, and released Corviknight.

"please."

He easily vaulted over the railing and landed on the back of the Steelraven.

Before the people watching below could react, the Steelraven had already flapped its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds to hide its form.

"Gah—!"

A giant, dark blue bird swept over the mine and flew north.

Ash took out his phone again and checked the time on Rotom.

About two and a half hours have passed.

As for Mary, it should be close to the final deadline of the "evolution mission" too, right?

"Corviknight, you need to speed things up!"

Ash patted Corviknight's neck.

If we go any faster, we might even witness the evolution process firsthand! Meanwhile, at the first mine in Galar.

Following the map markers that Xiaozhi had drawn for her, Mary had already reached the top of the mountain.

Of course, the mine itself is not very high, with the highest point being less than 300 meters above sea level.

Everywhere there are Gobi rocks, with only a few scattered shrubs and dead trees. When the wind blows, gravel rolls down the slope.

It is quite suitable for Pokémon like Bisharp that love to fight and battle to live in.

At this moment, Mary was facing a wild, cleaving-off-the-horse squad.

A combination of a cleaver commander and five samurai soldiers makes them quite a large household in the area.

In the past two hours, news of a human girl leading the Slashing Commanders to challenge their kind has spread to all the wild Slashing Commanders in the vicinity.

"Shout!"

The commander's eyes were cold as he cleaved the blade, pressing his arm forward.

Five swordsmen immediately surrounded them from both sides.

Unlike the previous leaders who stood at the back to watch the battle, it took a step forward and rushed out on its own.

Six figures approached simultaneously, instantly forming an encirclement formation.

Mary frowned. Other squad leaders would send their underlings up to be easily defeated first, and only after they were all down would they engage in one-on-one combat.

This one is clever; it prepared to fight six against one from the start, giving it no chance.

However, along the way, Mary has already fought against a total of eleven Commander Squads, and has naturally accumulated a lot of experience.

Faced with six figures pressing down on her simultaneously, she remained calm and spoke first:

"Use heavy stomp!"

Mary's slashing commander immediately stomped heavily on the ground.

In an instant, the ground trembled, gravel jumped up, and the visible impact spread out along the rocky ground.

This move wasn't very powerful; the leader of the cleaving-slashing troops only paused slightly and wasn't greatly affected.

But the five samurai soldiers were not so lucky; they all showed expressions of discomfort and froze in place.

It has completely become a crowd control move.

"Shout!"

The leader of the Slashing Commander immediately stepped forward, his arm blade flipped, and he delivered a Slashing Brick to Mary's Slashing Commander!

This is also a cleaver commander that understands type advantages and disadvantages.

"Stop them!"

Mary's Slashing Commander immediately raised her arms, crossed them, and blocked the opponent's Slashing Brick head-on.

Clang!

The blade collided with the palm, sparks flying, and Mary's slashing command shoulder sank.

Once the stalemate was reached, her cleaving commander planned to repeat her previous tactic, using a low side kick to disrupt her opponent's balance.

"Shout!!"

However, at this moment, the commander suddenly shouted loudly to the surrounding area.

The five samurai soldiers, who had just been affected by the heavy stomp, quickly regained their senses.

Instead of rushing closer, they spread out and then swung their sharp arms in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of light blue energy slashes suddenly appeared from all directions, simultaneously striking Mary's Slashing Commander.

Vacuum wave!

Although it's just a basic fighting move with the lowest power, it's still incredibly effective against the Slashing Commander, dealing with him four times more damage.

Every vacuum wave that hits can deliver a critical hit!

Not to mention that five soldiers with swords used it at the same time!

Mary frowned. Had this guy even taught his subordinates about elemental advantages in combat?! (End of Chapter)
