He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4243 A moment of silence for Sonia once again.

After exchanging information, the two headed back towards the original exit.

As for where the "true forms" of those two ancient gods are hidden...

It would be impossible to find it unless the thick fog of the entire forest was blown away.

Or perhaps, it should simply be buried deep underground?

However, Ash was still a little disappointed that he couldn't hear Zacian's telepathic connection.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up Pikachu and hold it in front of him, then vigorously rubbed the latter's electric cheeks.

As the hands moved, a tingling sensation occasionally emanated from the palms—

In a few days, the electric bladder probably won't have this feel anymore.

After all, Pikachu's static electricity will eventually disappear from the scene.

"Pikachu."

Pikachu, exasperated, dragged out its twang, struggled free, and jumped back onto his shoulder.

"Speaking of which, if Zacian's signature move is Giant Beast Slash..."

So Xiaozhi put his hands behind his head and walked away, casually saying:

"What kind of special move does the other ancient god, who is associated with shields, have?"

Giant Beast Shield?

Could it be a purely defensive move, like the King's Shield?

"If there's no crisis, we can summon both of these ancient gods and have them fight it out."

"Pikachu~"

Ash couldn't help but sigh, and Pikachu on his shoulder shared the same expression.

After unleashing a single giant beast slash, my tail started itching again.

Xiaoyou: "."

She paused slightly, looking at Ash's profile with a strange expression—

He wouldn't actually be thinking of summoning that so-called "Gigantamax Dragon," would he?

Before long, the two returned to the original entrance.

The Misty Forest was not very vast to begin with; once the fog obscured it, it was at most a medium-sized woodland.

It took the two of them a little over an hour to go in and out.

The sun is still high, and it's still very early.

Xiao Zhi looked up at the sky and simply suggested:

"Let's go back to Mugan Town first and discuss it with Dr. Mulan."

With a slight nod, the two didn't leisurely pass through Hualang Town this time. Instead, they released their flying companions and headed straight for Mugan Town.

Half an hour later, inside the Sonia Research Institute.

"I didn't know such a thing existed."

Dr. Mulan, leaning on her short cane and with a focused gaze, paced back and forth in the library hall.

She had never heard of a rotten sword and shield before.

Xiao Zhi and his companion drank tea and rested for a while.

After a while, Dr. Mulan stopped, tapped the ground lightly with her short staff, and looked at the two:

"It seems that the most urgent task is to find Syldi and Sord and get the sword and shield back."

These two items are essentially the key to a backup plan.

Even if Loz succeeds and awakens the "Gigantic Dragon" of calamity.

Then they could also use their swords and shields to summon the ancient god Galar to fight back, so that they wouldn't be left with no chance to fight back.

"Uh"

Xiao Zhi opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.

Why does everyone assume that beings at the level of Ancient Gods can only be defeated by Ancient Gods themselves?

He looked up at Pikachu, who was dozing on the second-floor bookshelf—

Even if the latter were to face two ancient gods at the same time, he would definitely be able to fight them to a standstill, right?

Xiaoyou noticed the blind spot and asked in confusion:

"Hey Professor Mulan, do you know those two men in suits?" Just now, Ash only mentioned the nickname "Hisoka Duo," but didn't say their specific names.

Dr. Mulan's brows furrowed even more when the two were mentioned.

Her usually elegant and easygoing manner now carried a clear tone of disdain:

"Well, I'd say we know each other."

"In short, the parents of these two people were already quite detestable!"

Back when she and Lorze were still working together, their fathers, relying on their noble status, constantly obstructed their path.

"For example, the trend of promoting Pokémon battles in the Galar region, and the popularization and promotion of the Dynamax mechanic."

Especially when the history and mythology of Galar were reinterpreted, the two men's fathers seemed to have been stepped on, jumping up and down in opposition and doing everything they could to obstruct it.

At that time, the Galar region still retained some aspects of the aristocratic system.

The fathers of Syldi and Sord were far more prestigious and powerful than the brothers are now.

"There was no other way. After weighing the options, Lorz and I decided to implement the first few items first."

Dr. Mulan sighed, her tone quickly regaining its composure:

"As for the issue of historical revision and retrospection, it can only be put on hold."

Of course, the situation is completely different now.

The noble system and institutions of the Galar region have long been a mere formality, with no privileges whatsoever, only titles remaining to maintain appearances.

Their reputation and status had long been trampled underfoot by Loz, so there was no need to worry about these "upper-class nobles" causing any more trouble.

Speaking of this, Dr. Mulan still admired Loz very much.

Starting from scratch, and then trampling these arrogant old-fashioned aristocrats underfoot.

Loz's experience is even more exciting than a wish-fulfillment novel.

Xiao Zhi: "."

He silently looked away, realizing that Dr. Mulan even knew about the mastermind behind the secret alteration of history.

Let us observe three seconds of silence once again for Sonia.

Dr. Mulan's gaze involuntarily drifted to the bookshelf beside her.

If it weren't for this incident, Lorz would probably be very happy to see Sonia's paper, right?

Finally, we can start the project to revisit history, which was killed before it even began.

Xiaoyou then took out her Rotom phone and started looking up information on Hisoka and the other person—

There is almost no information about the individual.

The search results page only has a few scattered records, and they are all the latest estimates. Is it because they haven't had time to clean up the online traces yet?

For example, there was the news not long ago in Strangetown that he was beaten up by a passing Justice Trainer and had to flee in a sorry state.

For example, there was the news a few days ago in Caolu Town about someone being handcuffed and taken away by Officer Jenny for unknown reasons.

It seems they've had a lot of misfortunes.

Xiaoyou then changed the keyword to "Xisuo Company," and more information about it became available.

"The Sisso Group is currently the second largest company in the Galar region after the Marocomón Group, with businesses covering construction contracting, publishing and media, and consumer goods. It has basically achieved a monopoly."

Its business scope is completely different from that of the Marocomón Group, which focuses on high-tech and energy development.

Xiao You read it slowly, then couldn't help but mutter a curse:

"How shameless!"

As a Watt merchant, she knew this inside information.

These civilian and commercial sectors were specifically opened up by Chairman Loz so that ordinary people could also start companies and make money.

Otherwise, given the capabilities of the Maroccomont Group, it would have already achieved a complete monopoly.

As a result, these two people snatched it up and monopolized it! (End of this chapter)
