He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4238 The Ancient God of Galer, Zamazent!

Xiaoyou continued walking through the forest, her steps steady, carefully observing her surroundings along the way.

They hadn't walked far when they suddenly stopped.

"what?"

She tilted her head slightly, let out a surprised sound, and curiously looked around.

The fog remained pervasive and did not thicken further.

This time, however, there seemed to be a faint pinkish glow in the mist, as if one were in a dreamlike world.

"A misty arena?!"

Xiaoyou subconsciously looked at her double-barreled gas. Was this the activation of the Mist Maker ability?

The special salve hadn't arrived yet, and the properties of the Double Gas haven't been modified either.

It's estimated that we'll have to wait two more days after they go back home before we can get our hands on it.

Double Gas paused for a moment, then immediately shook its head vigorously.

"Wa ...

However, the surrounding powdery mist also gave it a strange feeling.

As the double gas cylinder lowered its height, its drooping eyes made its face look even more dejected.

Here it comes again, that inexplicable sense of oppression that says "crossing the river is forbidden"!

That's strange, I didn't feel that way just now!

rustle--

Just then, a soft rustling sound came from the side, like something stepping on the grass.

Xiao You immediately perked up and fixed her gaze on the past.

The pink mist swirled gently, and amidst the shadows of the trees, the outline of a beast slowly emerged.

Its exact shape was obscured, as if shrouded in shadow, yet it was exceptionally tall, approximately...

It's similar to that dark, unconventional horse in Ash's castle.

Xiao You's pupils contracted, and she took two steps back, remaining vigilant.

She felt like she had seen this scene in a dream before.

However, the double-barreled gas tanker next to her didn't have that kind of mental fortitude.

"Wa, wa hiss."

The two heads shrank back simultaneously, almost touching, and quickly floated behind Xiaoyou to hide.

He looked terrified.

It could sense that the source of the previous restriction on the movement of the surrounding Pokémon was the strange black shadow in front of it!

As the other party slowly emerged from the mist, its outline gradually became clearer, the shadows faded, and it began to reveal its true form—

This is a giant wolf-shaped Pokémon with a majestic and solemn expression!

Its head and back were covered with bright red fur, and its sides were covered with patterns resembling scars.

A wisp of dark blue hair sticks up on its head, and layered hair on its neck forms the shape of a shield.

Its limbs are long and narrow, and its grayish-white forelimbs seem to be covered with sharp, dark blue armor. Behind it is a drooping dark blue wolf tail.

Xiao You dared not be careless; her heart was pounding.

"Is this the Galar Ancient God?!"

She had seen this shield-shaped giant wolf in her dream; it was one of the two ancient wolf gods.

The name seems to be...

Zangmarante!?

When the other person walked up to her, she noticed that one of Zangmarante's ears seemed to be broken off.

hiss!

Who has the ability to cut off half of an ancient god's ear?!

Do you think this is a mark left by the doctor after a sterilization surgery?!

In the pink mist, Zangmarante walked straight up to her and stopped about two meters away, looking down at her.

His gaze was calm, as if he could see right through her, which made Xiaoyou's shoulders slump and she felt immense pressure!

However, she did not back down.

Whether in myths and legends or in my dreams, these two giant wolf gods are absolute "heroes" of the Galar region.

She pursed her lips, but still mustered her courage and took the initiative to greet them:

"Uh, hello, my name is Xiaoyou!"

At close range, she could see that the other person's body was faintly blurred, as if it had not been fully solidified.

It doesn't resemble a real entity?

Is it because of the surrounding fog?

The thought flashed through her mind.

"." Zangmarante did not speak, but simply gazed at her quietly, as if he was considering something.

His expression didn't look fierce at all; instead, it was calm and wise like that of an elder, which relieved Xiaoyou.

Behind her, Double Gas was trembling with fear at the sight of the other party's domineering aura.

Both being Fairy-type Pokémon, it felt that its Mistmaker was like child's play compared to the other.

It really should be changed!

Just as Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief—

Without any warning, a deep and ancient voice suddenly resounded in her mind.

"Human trainers, go and find the Guardian Artifact that lies dormant in the dust!"

"Let my sealed power be awakened once more to ward off the impending calamity!"

The words and tone sounded very ancient, as if it were a conversation that had spanned thousands of years.

Xiao You's expression changed:

"This is... telepathy?!"

Her eyes lit up instantly.

It makes perfect sense that the ancient gods possess this ability!

More than the surprise of the telepathic connection, she reacted quickly to the "guardian artifact" in the other person's words.

Xiaoyou blurted out almost subconsciously:

"You mean you want me to help you find that decaying shield, help you complete your transformation, and then kill that pinkish-purple dragon, right?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

".?"

Zangmarante was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't react.

He hadn't even explained in detail yet, and the human girl in front of him was already answering first!

Having slept for over a thousand years, have humans in this era become so intelligent?!

After a brief silence, Zangmarante narrowed his eyes and nodded at Xiao You.

That saves me the trouble of translating it again.

Moreover, intelligent humans are exactly what I've been hoping for!

Actually, he is not his original form now—

Its true form is still slumbering deep within the Misty Forest, accumulating power.

But recently, a familiar sense of unease has resurfaced.

Just like the feeling when the giant dragon Eternatus was about to awaken a long time ago!

The overwhelming sense of oppression seemed to threaten to overturn and seize the entire world.

With no other option, Zangmarante used the mist of the Misty Forest to create the illusionary projection.

Only by interweaving reality and illusion can this area be revealed.

In this state, he can freely patrol and move within the forest, and is invincible; any attack from the opponent will penetrate his "body".

Of course, he was also unable to launch an attack.

The only option is to find a suitable human partner to help, just like we did a thousand years ago when we cooperated with human heroes.

However, the patrol area is limited to the Weimei Forest and they cannot go outside.

This gloomy and dark forest is located in a remote corner of the Galar region, and few people usually come here.

He was already mentally prepared that it might take ten days to half a month to find a suitable candidate.

As a result, they found a suitable candidate in less than ten minutes of projected patrol!

"."

Although he had many thoughts running through his mind, outwardly, Zangmarante remained solemn and dignified, not uttering a single word.

This is the true majesty of the ancient gods! (End of Chapter)
