Pokémon: Chosen Ranger

Looking at the dark stone in his hand, Suode raised his head. The evolved double scabbards floated beside him, and the magenta ribbons danced in the wind.

Three days have passed since the start of Xia Ye's training, during which time he suffered hellish torture.

Suo De, who thought he was strong-willed, once had the idea of ​​giving up. The strength shown by Xia Ye was too terrifying, like an insurmountable chasm, which made him fall into deep self-doubt.

Is this the so-called saying that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world?

Fortunately, Suo De survived in the end. You must know that he was betting on the oath of his family. When his self-esteem was on the verge of collapse, this oath kept him from losing himself.

I have always been the target of praise, and no one has ever been able to teach me without mercy.

Due to the authority of the Cavendish family, they have always obeyed themselves, undefeated? That's just a carefully crafted lie.

And now Suo De finally admitted his weakness. Compared to Xia Ye, he was much weaker, but he felt extremely comfortable in his heart. He was weak, so what?

As long as he kept getting stronger, he was glad that he was not blinded by his arrogance, otherwise he would not even know how to die when facing a powerful opponent in the future.

"Lord Sode?"

Seeing that his young master had been stunned for a long time, the old man asked in a worried tone.

"It's okay, Fowler, is this what it feels like to grow up? It feels really good!" Suo De laughed from the bottom of his heart.

The old man raised his eyelids first. He had seen the young master cry with his own eyes, and now he actually smiled. He... no, that smile was definitely true.

So that's it. It seems that this is the young master's biggest gain from this journey. His spiritual growth is several levels higher than the sword and shield that symbolize his identity.

"Congratulations, Lord Sode."

"Yes, I want to thank Teacher Xia Ye very much."

Suode glanced around. He was very excited because of the evolution of the double scabbard, so he walked a little further alone to cool down in the wind, but why can't he see Teacher Xia Ye now?

"Your Excellency Xia Ye said that he went to the forest and was alone." Fowler saw the young master's thoughts and explained.

"Alone! No, if it's Teacher Xia Ye, it will definitely be fine."

Suo De showed a thoughtful expression. According to Hilde, all of Teacher Xia Ye's Pokémon are in the ball. He still has three that he has not displayed. The Pokémon among them will only be stronger!

"Fowler, I'm going to fight Hilde again, it's just me and the double scabbard."

The two sword blades in the double sheaths collided together, making a clanging sound. The red pupils flashed with enthusiasm, and it was the same idea as Sode to avenge its shame.

"Aren't you going to use the Stone of Darkness?" the old man leaned over and asked.

"Well, I plan to let it evolve later," Suo De put away the jet black stone and looked at his partner beside him, "For now, let me and the double scabbards accumulate experience."

"I understand, Lord Sode, what are you going to do after the battle?"

"Of course I'm waiting for Teacher Xia Ye to come back. I still owe him three favors. If I don't repay them, it will damage the name of the Cavendish family."

Suode looked at the forest in the distance. Of course the teacher would come back victorious, and I would also win. It would be up to me to show the results of his training. This is the source of my confidence.

In the lush forest, the fog around Xia Ye became thicker and thicker. He stopped and it seemed that he was not far from the central lake now.

The Banglei Diamond Ape and the Steel-Armored Crow also stopped. They couldn't help but feel excited when they heard Xia Ye said that they were going to the depths of the forest to find the legendary hero.

"As expected, I'm still very curious. The legendary heroes from three thousand years ago cannot avoid dealing with them no matter what. It's better to do it now." Xia Ye whispered.

When you return to your own time, you still need to go to the depths of the Weimei Forest to look for Cang Xiang and Zang Marante, and they are still in a sleeping state, so if you are unlucky, you will not encounter them at all.

But now they are indeed guarding the meteorite at the bottom of the lake. Being able to see the two Pokémon's true form with their own eyes is as if they look familiar.

"Please, Menas." Xia Ye threw an elf ball.

Menas emerged from the mist, its curled and streamlined body looming in the mist, its strange scales flashing with colorful light, adding a sense of mystery to its noble temperament.

"Meinas, can you feel the existence of the lake through the mist?" Xia Ye asked.

Menas closed his amber-like eyes and carefully sensed the existence around him. This kind of fog felt strange to him, but it was also somewhat familiar. The existence that dominated the fog was not a water-type Pokémon, but a fairy-type Pokémon. !

No wonder it feels familiar to me. It is very similar to the mist created by Brimwen. But as long as it is mist, I can control it. The title of Lord of the Mist is not for nothing~

"Woo~"

About a minute later, Menas turned his head behind him, signaling to Xia Ye that this was the right direction.

Xia Ye raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, then nodded and said: "No wonder I felt like I was spinning in circles just now. As expected of you, Menas."

Menas raised his head proudly. This kind of thing is trivial to him~

The Banglei Diamond Orangutan and the Steel-Armored Crow were silent on the sidelines, but they thought in their hearts that the Queen of the Lake would only show such a look in front of Xia Ye.

"Oh, then I'll ask you to lead the way, Menas." Xia Ye said with a smile. Sure enough, his Pokémon is very reliable.

At the same time, on the grass by the lake, two giant wolves were cuddling together, enjoying the warm sunshine comfortably.

Suddenly, the giant blue wolf opened its eyes and shook its ears. It clearly felt that part of the mist was out of control.

The huge saffron wolf lying on the ground separated its folded front paws, then stood up, raised its head and scanned the surroundings with a tenacious gaze, its tail behind it couldn't stop swaying.

Seeing this, the giant blue wolf also stood up, its tail also swaying. It had not been an interesting existence for a long time, and it was too boring to meet humans recently.

Even their original mentality was affected and they gradually became more leisurely.

They couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't there be no more heroic figures born in this ancient land?

"Ouch~"

The giant blue wolf roared, indicating to his brother that he could look forward to it. The guy visiting this time had good strength.

"Yaw!"

The giant saffron wolf sharpened its front paws, revealing its sharp fangs, and its orange pupils flashed with light. It was so good that it would become rusty if it didn't move any more.

The two giant wolves waited silently for about ten minutes before four figures began to emerge from the mist.

The elegant and noble Menas walked in the front, followed closely by Xia Ye. The tall and sturdy Bang Bang King Kong and the arrogant-looking Steel Armored Crow walked side by side.

Xia Ye was not surprised when he saw Cang Xiang and Zangmarante waiting for him. As a mist-creating existence, how could he not know that his things had been touched by others.

Suddenly, Cang Xiang hit Xia Ye like a blue gust of wind, setting off air waves as sharp as a razor blade. Zangmarant slammed the ground, erupting with terrifying momentum, rampaging like an out-of-control chariot.

Could the legendary hero be such a warlike being? !

Xia Ye was shocked, and he had to do the commanding: "Bang the King Kong, beat the drum, beat the wooden wall!"

The Banglei King Kong gorilla slammed the wooden drum on the ground, and with a wild beat, a wooden wall composed of intertwined tree roots lay in front of everyone.

Faced with the sudden obstruction, Cang Xiang calmly raised his front paws and jumped towards the wooden wall. He appeared in the air with just a leverage. Zangmarant's solution was even more brutal. He directly smashed the wooden wall with his body. .

"Steel-armored crows, attack in the air, Menas, attack on the ground, blast the apes, let them see, our moves cannot be solved by avoiding or destroying them!"

The steel-armored crows set off violent storms, and Menas spewed out surging water cannons. As legendary heroes, it was easy to dodge such attacks, but with the sound of drums, they felt restrained.

The wooden wall that originally stood on the ground suddenly stretched out its tough tree roots, tightly binding their hind legs.

Two fierce attacks hit Cang Xiang and Zang Marante, but they showed excited eyes.

The shining light condensed in Cang Xiang's mouth, like a sharp sword. It just shook its head and the tree roots were cut cleanly, while it itself fell to the ground deftly. Its soft hair did not change due to the strong wind. Got to be messy.

Zangmarante's whole body exploded with strong momentum, and boiling steam emitted. While drying up the water stains on his body, it directly shattered the tree roots that bound him.

The corners of Xia Ye's eyes twitched slightly. Even if they lost their sword and shield, these two Pokémon still had such great strength.

However, Cang Xiang and Zang Marant did not continue to choose to attack. Xia Ye had already passed their most basic test, and based on their understanding of humans, he was not looking for a fight.

"Huh, it's really an exciting meeting gift when we meet for the first time." Xia Ye said slowly.

Cang Xiang and Zang Marante showed proud expressions, seeming to be very satisfied with Xia Ye's praise. Then, Cang Xiang turned around first and walked towards the lake.

Upon seeing this, Zangmarante also turned around and followed its footsteps, and used his eyes to signal Xia Ye to follow them.

Although he didn't know their purpose, Xia Ye still chose to follow them, just in time to see the meteorite at the bottom of the lake.

"Aww~" (It seems like you are very interested in our origins~)

Cang Xiang roared, Xia Ye's eyes widened, he could actually understand their words, Cang Xiang's voice was like a heroic big sister.

"Barking~" (No need to be surprised, humans, we are the embodiment of existence, war and belief from the birth of human beings.)

Zangmarante added, its voice was like that of a steady and reliable uncle.

"War, faith?"

Xia Ye repeated what they said. In this way, they are not existences from the outer sky, but legendary existences born in Galar.

"Ouch~" (Yes, Zangmarante and I were born in a war. At that time, people called us the King of Swords and the King of Shields. After losing our swords and shields, we were hailed as brave men in all battles. However, as the times move towards peace, our power has also declined.)

"Barking!" (It was a tragic war. People's belief in resisting foreign enemies and protecting their homeland gave birth to us. We were born with powerful power and the power to control various weapons, but we still chose the most suitable two Weapons, sword and shield.)

Cang Xiang and Zang Marant stood side by side by the lake. They looked majestic and weathered. The scar-like patterns might be real scars, the pain caused by war.

For some reason, they suddenly had the desire to talk. It seemed that they felt the same aura in Xia Ye. Cang Xiang and Zangmarant slowly talked about the past events of that year, the war to defend Galar.

In fact, Cang Xiang and Zangmarante have no mysterious concept of time. As long as there is life on this land, they will not disappear. They will protect them until the last life dies, and then they will truly disappear.

They only remember that a long time ago, this land was very rich. This richness attracted the prying eyes of outsiders. The armies of probably three countries wanted to take advantage of the resources and launched a war.

Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the Galar region was retreating steadily at the beginning of the war, and the entire country fell into a crisis of destruction.

But the people of Galar always adhered to the belief of driving away the enemy and defending their homeland, resisting desperately. It was at this time that Cang Xiang and Zangmarant had their own consciousness.

They only remember that they were born in a lake. The lake is not made up of water, but faith, shouting, will, and unyielding.

The two giant wolves born from the spiritual world of the Galar people joined the war from the moment they were born. They danced in the battlefield like the wind, charging fearlessly. They picked up weapons dropped everywhere and swung them until they shattered.

This triumphal gesture inspired the resisting people, and they followed the steps of Cang Xiang and Zangmarant and launched a counterattack against the invaders.

In order to thank them, the Galar people gave them carefully crafted blades and shields. The weapons instilled with faith turned into their new powers. With the ability to absorb metal, they became the King of Swords and the King of Shields.

The invaders immediately realized the failure of the war after seeing their powerful power, and withdrew from the land of Galar and fled.

The war finally ended, but Cang Xiang and Zangmarante suddenly disappeared. As beings born from humans, they understood humans very well.

Born in war, they hate war. In order not to become weapons to invade others, they voluntarily left people's sight, just like legends.

However, hatred is not so easy to eliminate. After losing Cang Xiang and Zangmarante, some people who were blinded by hatred chose to find new power.

Under their guidance, the disaster that happened thousands of years ago reappeared, and the terrifying power made people feel desperate. This is an existence more terrifying than war, and may be an evil dragon that can lead the world to destruction.

At this moment, Cang Xiang and Zangmarant once again transformed into the King of Swords and the King of Shields. At the cost of broken weapons and poison in their bodies, the evil dragon turned into red eggs again, ending this disaster.

Although they were poisoned, as beings born in the spiritual world, they relied on sleep to dispel the poison.

When you wake up again, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, people have even forgotten them, and their power has also weakened because of peace.

Cang Xiang and Zang Marante did not feel lonely. They still traveled across the land, sleeping and waking up to help people who had the same beliefs as before, and helped them become heroes, even if they lost their swords and shields.

In fact, Cang Xiang and Zangmarant were forced to wake up this time. The meteorite hit the area where they were sleeping, causing them to wake up from their sleep.

The reason why they did not continue to choose to sleep is also related to this meteorite, because they felt a similar aura to the evil dragon in it, but there seemed to be no life in it.

However, the terrifying vitality of the evil dragon still worried them. With the belief of protecting Galar, they decided to guard the meteor to prevent it from falling into the hands of people with evil intentions.

Xia Ye was silent for a long time after listening to Cang Xiang and Zang Marant telling the story of that year. They were definitely worthy of being called heroes. They won the war, defeated the existence suspected of Wuji Tai Na, and had that admirable creed.

The Galar region really gave birth to two incredible beings.

"Speaking of which, Cang Xiang, Zang Marante, didn't you lose your sword and shield? I have a suggestion." Xia Ye said.

They immediately showed great interest. How could you tell? The wagging frequency of the tail can create air waves.

Xia Ye stretched out his finger and pointed to the lake: "Haha, aren't the raw materials for the sword and shield right next to you? They are lying quietly at the bottom of this lake!"
