"Mentioning the mysterious Pokémon that pops out of the virtual scene..."
In the store back in Mondstadt, Hiroshi sat behind the counter, watching the live broadcast from Inazuma on a system screen. Behind him, the massive, jet-black dragon, Zekrom, loomed like a statue of judgment, its red eyes fixed on the display.
"The Electro Archon," Zekrom's deep, telepathic voice rumbled, vibrating in Hiroshi's chest. "Her eyes... they hold a hint of surprise."
"Judging from the barrage of comments," Hiroshi replied, leaning back, "It's an existence called a Legendary Pokémon. And the people of Mondstadt and Liyue don't seem to be surprised by the existence of this kind of personal Pokémon anymore."
"Because, that Store Manager Hiroshi has several Legendary Beasts in his hands that are almost open to the public in these two areas?"
"Open to the public..." Zekrom scoffed, electricity crackling at its tail. "Humans adapt quickly to power."
Meanwhile, high above Tenshukaku in Inazuma:
Yae Miko tapped her forehead lightly:
"Ei, please bring Kujou Sara back quickly."
"If the fight between the Arataki Gang and the Tenryou Commission security forces continues, it will turn into a case of bloodshed on the streets."
Raiden Ei was stunned when she heard the words, and cast her eyes towards Hanamizaka from the air.
The picture she saw was chaotic.
In the Hanamizaka district, the Arataki Gang had only a dozen or so younger members present.
In addition, their boss, Arataki Itto, and the external support consisted of no more than twenty members—mostly Kuki Shinobu with her brains and some second-hand weapons.
But they were able to firmly guard the giant screen, as if they were determined to die for it.
Nearby, Inazuma residents cheered and cheered for them.
Instead, as regular troops, Kujou Sara and the soldiers who were responsible for maintaining security in the city were getting smashed with a lot of rotten eggs.
Am I like a villain, very unpopular with the people?
Raiden Ei raised an eyebrow.
She fell into the pursuit and thinking of Eternity.
This didn't mean that she had turned a blind eye to the public sentiment under Inazuma's rule.
In other words, although she enacted the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree, it was also because Ei was deceived by the head of the Hiiragi Clan and the head of the Kujou Clan.
Speaking of which, everything in the Inazuma area—the cause of the problem—is Scaramouche!
This is the Harbinger of the Sixth Seat of the Fatui.
In fact, Scaramouche's real name is Kunikuzushi, and he is also a puppet created by Raiden Ei, the number one "technical otaku" in Teyvat.
However, Scaramouche was the first generation. The technology was not mature enough, and he was abandoned by Raiden Ei.
The second generation of mature technology is today's Raiden Shogun puppet.
After being abandoned, the Balladeer resented Raiden Ei and the entire Inazuma Country.
Therefore, privately, he has been doing conspiracy and sabotage.
The Kaedehara Clan was destroyed by Scaramouche, and the Isshin Art tradition was cut off.
The Kamisato Clan, if they had not been pardoned, would have ended up like the Kaedehara Clan.
Inazuma has a saying about the Raiden Gokaden (Five Legends of Thunder), representing the five top blacksmithing lineages.
Nowadays, many lineages are cut off, and they are inseparable from the schemes of Scaramouche.
...
When Raiden Ei finally cast a glance at Hanamizaka, watching over Inazuma City...
The resistance of the Arataki Gang had almost come to an end.
There is nothing they could do.
The Tenryou Commission pursues a subordinate security army, and there is strength in numbers.
Kujou Sara was not a pushover. She was rigorous in running the army, commanded well, and had both strategy and bravery.
She can be regarded as the representative of this generation of generals from Inazuma Country.
If it weren't for the Pokémon event scenes that exploded from time to time on the giant screen causing distractions...
In fact.
Without bleeding.
Kujou Sara was confident that within a quarter of an hour, she would capture all the members of the Arataki Gang and arrest them.
Because Arataki Itto lost his Vision, he was unable to flexibly use more elemental power.
Therefore, he relies more on personal bravery and brute force to rush back and forth.
But manpower is sometimes scarce.
When Arataki Itto gasped for breath—
Crack~!
A purple bolt of lightning came down.
Arataki Itto's hair stood up, his knees bent on the spot, and he fell to the ground.
He glared at Kujou Sara, who had summoned the Tengu Juurai: Titanbreaker, and shouted unwillingly:
"Damn it!!"
"Kujou Tengu!"
"I just don't accept it!"
"If you have the ability, continue to hit me with the thunder curse!"
Next to him, Kuki Shinobi, who was also out of breath, wanted to cover her face.
This Boss was still showing off at a time like this.
After Arataki Itto's Vision was confiscated, he fought Kujou Sara more than once or twice.
But every time he was beaten, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Kuki Shinobi asked him why he wanted to die like this.
Arataki Itto groaned and said:
"It's like... No matter how strong the wind is, your hairstyle can't be messed up! This is a man's dignity and bottom line!"
"Call——"
Kuki Shinobi glanced at the situation around her.
Except for her, all the younger members and the eldest brother of the Arataki Gang were pounced upon by soldiers and held down.
Obviously, after subduing the gang, Kujou Sara would order the soldiers to dismantle or even destroy the giant screen in the square.
No!
This is an important missionary tool in the Pokémon Era, and it can be called the dawn of the new age...
It must not be destroyed by the security forces like this!
Kuki Shinobi walked towards an alley not far away and shouted:
"Divine Envoy!"
"If you have any back-ups, use them quickly!"
"We must not let the giant screen be destroyed. The longer the event is broadcast, the more Inazuma people will see the dawn of the era!"
Kuki Shinobi was smart and didn't call out Yoimiya's name directly.
Their Arataki Gang has been exposed, and they will definitely be closely guarded by the Shogunate Army and Kujou Sara in the future.
However, as a Divine Envoy, Yoimiya—as long as she is not exposed—is like an unquenchable wild fire.
It has the hope of bringing the prairie fire of the Pokémon Age to the entire land of Inazuma!
In the deep alley.
Yoimiya rarely put on such a disguise.
Put on a thick robe, and there is a secret sect feel to it. It truly feels like a Divine Envoy.
The little ninja Sayu from the last episode also sneaked back. According to the order of the Yashiro Commissioner Kamisato Ayato, she is responsible for guarding the personal safety of Yoimiya.
"It seemed that Store Manager Hiroshi had anticipated the current situation."
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Yoimiya's mouth.
"Preaching is always full of thorns, blood, and even killing! It won't be easy!"
She whispered and took out a unique heavy Poké Ball.
In her mind, she also recalled the hint that Hiroshi gave her when handing over the ball during their goodbye in Liyue Harbor.
("If you meet someone you can't deal with, I mean on a human level...")
("Well... probably, even a Big Youkai can be resisted.")
("In short, it's not the level of Gods.")
("You can let the Pokémon in this ball come out to fight.")
So, what kind of Pokémon will it be?
Yoimiya's eyes were full of anticipation and a touch of excitement.
Someone has a trump card, and it feels like cheating.
It's so wonderful!
She pressed the Poké Ball switch lightly.
Click.
An equally excited roar erupted.
A red light shot out quickly.
A giant bear, nearly 3 meters tall, roared and landed in this alley.
It was like a humanoid, standing upright. Its strong claws fiercely slapped its chest.
Boom!
Boom!
The strong wind caused the uninhabited and abandoned house next to it to collapse.
Yoimiya took the Pokédex and scanned it.
"King-level Ursaluna (Ground/Normal type), Peat Pokémon.
Level: Lv.79 (Elite Four/King Level: 70~79)
Ability: Guts
Hidden Ability: Unnerve
Skills: Headlong Rush, Baby-Doll Eyes, High Horsepower, Slash, Play Rough, Double-Edge, Thrash...
It is said that Ursaluna is one of the special Pokémon that received mysterious blessings from Arceus, so it is worshiped in the Hisui region."
Level 79!
Yoimiya's eyes widened; she was both shocked and surprised. She was delighted with the Pokédex entry +1.
Then, she compared the Pokédex information about the Legendary Beasts of Store Manager Hiroshi that others had shared with her before in the group chat.
She found that there is an Ursaluna in the shared information of the group chat Pokédex.
Now it belongs to the highest level just under the Legendary Beasts.
Moreover, a key message is that it is Level 79, which is just one step away from the Champion level of Level 80.
It seems to be just a Rare Candy's distance away?
"Roar——"
Ursaluna lowered its head in the smoke and dust of the collapsed house.
It looked like a scary big man, but he was very gentle and lifted Yoimiya onto its back.
Waiting for Yoimiya to sit firmly, Ursaluna received the order.
It rushed towards the giant live broadcast screen of the event on Hanamizaka, and then stood like a small hill, staring at Kujou Sara and the security soldiers with round pupils.
Under the gaze of this Ursaluna with the rank of an Elite Four King...
All the soldiers present, including Kujou Sara, suddenly felt a sense of depression in their hearts.
Everyone was inexplicably nervous, and the palms holding their weapons were covered in cold sweat.
The style of the scene had become a bit strange.
Ursaluna stared at everyone.
Kujou Sara and the security soldiers stood like stone statues.
A moment ago, the situation was tense.
This time.
Forced to put out a fire?
Only Kuki Shinobi and Arataki Itto knew Kujou Sara has unspeakable suffering right now.
"Is this the coercion and oppression of powerful Pokémon?" Arataki Itto was both shocked and excited.
"If I had cultivated Pokémon to this stage, wouldn't it be easy to take revenge, retrieve my Vision, or even destroy the Statue of the Omnipresent God?"
Kuki Shinobi's eyes flickered, with a hint of panic mixed with awe.
She looked at Yoimiya on the bear's back, and a subtle envy gradually appeared on her face.
Hiroshi, the Store Manager, is simply too good to this Divine Envoy.
A Pokémon of the Elite Four level would actually be lent to Yoimiya?
Thinking of this, Kuki couldn't help but look at the giant screen. He didn't know which Super Tournament was going on.
Xiangling had just won. She rushed towards the camera and competed with a "V for Victory" scissor-hand pose of a vigorous girl.
"If only there was such an Ursaluna..."
"Yoimiya could simply announce that she was the Champion of this competition!"
Kuki Shinobi thought.
Of course, she also knew that Ursaluna was more like it was on a business trip, performing official duties, and had a cooperative partnership with Yoimiya; it would not participate in the trainer competition for Yoimiya.
But the nature of human beings is to be "Lemon Essence" (jealous).
Don't even give it sourness.
What's wrong with me? I'm just sour.
As for Kujou Sara, no one can understand the turmoil in her heart.
"No... cannot resist!"
"Extremely powerful!"
But...
Kujou Sara gritted her teeth. She could not live up to the trust of Takayuki-sama and the Shogun-sama.
She is responsible for all public security affairs of Inazuma!
She shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of Inazuma City!
No matter what kind of powerful enemy she faces...
All...
Kujou Sara was about to explode her Elemental Power.
Suddenly, a voice fell from the air:
"That's enough."
Hearing this voice, Kujou Sara looked up in shock and panic:
"Shogun-sama!!"
The surrounding Shogunate soldiers, the Arataki Gang's younger brothers, and the nearby Inazuma people were collectively stunned.
However, the one who stepped down from the air was indeed the Lord of the Imperial Palace, the Narukami Ogosho, and she could not be faked.
Kujou Sara took the lead in saluting:
"The Shogun is Almighty, and the Narukami is Eternal!"
The people around her reacted and shouted:
"The Shogun is Almighty, and the Narukami is Eternal!"
Even though the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree have caused a lot of negative voices recently, no Inazuma people want to overthrow the Shogunate and the Shogun.
Inazuma is indispensable for the protection of the Lord of the Imperial Palace.
For thousands of years, every day, every day it has been so.
After landing on the ground, Raiden Ei came close to Ursaluna and observed it carefully for a while.
The surprise in her eyes gradually became stronger.
"There is an extremely mysterious power inside this Pokémon!"
Back in the store, watching the screen, Zekrom let out a low, approving growl.
"She senses the Origin," Zekrom told Hiroshi. "That bear carries the blessing of the Alpha. She is wise to hesitate."
