Chapter 582: Dante's Arrival, Dante Challenges the Riding Goat
Chapter 582: Dante's Arrival, Dante Challenges the Riding Goat
In the living room, Shizuru sat on the sofa, gazing at Dante and Sonya, who were seated across from him.
Upon seeing the guests, his sister, Ai Guan Shi, quickly transformed and served two cups of freshly brewed tea to the visitors.
Dante politely thanked Ai Guan Shi and then turned to Shizuru, his face breaking into a cheerful smile.
"It's been a while, Shizuru! How have you been lately?"
"I've been doing well, but I can't afford to be as leisurely as I used to," Shizuru replied.
Dante had seen Shizuru's social media posts and knew that he was helping out at his wife's Gym, greeting challengers.
At this, Dante burst into laughter, "It's a happy dilemma!"
Sonya smiled and, after glancing around the room, asked, "Mr. Shizuru, where is your wife?"
"She's taking a nap. She's not available to receive you right now, so feel free to tell me what's on your mind," Shizuru replied.
"It seems you two are living a happy life!" Sonya smiled.
Shizuru smiled and then asked, "Isn't the Galar Region keeping you busy? What brings you here today, out of the blue?"
Hearing this, Dante and Sonya exchanged a glance, both thinking of the real purpose of their visit.
"To be honest, we're here to gather information about the legendary Sword King and Shield King of the Galar Region," Dante said solemnly.
Shizuru turned to Sonya.
Noticing this, Dante quickly added, "It's alright, Sonya is trustworthy. She's Professor Mulan's granddaughter and is currently investigating the legends of the Sword and Shield. After learning that you might have more information, she insisted on coming with me. Also..."
As he spoke, Dante looked at Sonya.
Sonya immediately understood and took out two items from her bag: a sword and a shield.
However, both items were already covered in rust, bearing the marks of time.
Seeing these items, Shizuru was slightly taken aback.
Were those... the Rusty Sword and Rusty Shield?
"Ever since I left here last time, I've been investigating this matter in Galar on my own," Dante said, looking down at the rusty sword and shield.
"I've been to many places and, following the Fertility King's instructions, I ventured into the Drowsy Forest. I searched through the mist for a long time, but the two heroes never appeared."
"At that moment, I heard a voice asking why I had come to this place."
"I said I wanted to find a way to defeat Nightshade and save Galar from this crisis that has lasted for a thousand years. Later, two indistinct phantoms appeared in the mist."
"They guided me to the deepest part of the forest, and that's where I found this rusty sword and shield."
Upon hearing this, Shizuru immediately understood what had happened.
The Galar Region's storyline had been altered! Yu and Hop didn't appear, and instead, Gal Hoang and Zang Marent chose to cooperate with Dante!
"You're right, they are the Sword King, Gal Hoang, and Zang Marent," Shizuru confirmed.
Hearing this, Dante and Sonya immediately turned their attention to him.
"If I'm not mistaken, your desire to protect the Galar Region and defeat Nightshade earned their recognition, so they led you to these items," Shizuru said. "These are the weapons that the Fertility King once forged for the two heroes to fight against Nightshade."
"But..." Sonya furrowed her brows slightly, a worried expression on her face. "The sword and shield are already rusty. Can they still be effective?"
Regarding this, Shizuru wasn't sure how to explain it at the moment.
In the game, Yu and Hop also obtained the rusty sword and shield, but their courage later caused the two weapons to shine once more.
This was a rather subjective matter.
If Shizuru's guess was correct, the Sword and Shield were not literal weapons but embodiments of the "Power of Kings," which explained how Gal Hoang and Zang Marent could transform into the Sword and Shield Kings.
Realizing this, Shizuru said to Dante, "The courage to defeat Nightshade and the heart to protect the Galar Region will make them shine once more."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is also the trial that Gal Hoang and Zang Marent have set for you."
Dante was slightly taken aback. He looked down at the Sword and Shield in his hands.
A trial? In fact, there was something he hadn't told Shizuru, something even Sonia was unaware of.
Ever since his return to the Galar Region from the ranch, he had been investigating Ultimate Tegna.
In the end, he discovered something shocking.
Ultimate Tegna was sealed within the Energy Plant beneath the Punch Arena!
And that Energy Plant was closely tied to the Marokomong Corporation.
After that, Dante also investigated the Loz President and was surprised to find an inseparable connection between him and Ultimate Tegna.
It seemed that the president intended to use Ultimate Tegna for something.
This matter was of great importance, affecting the entire Galar Region, and even as the Champion, Dante dared not act rashly.
Thinking of this, Dante asked, "How should we deal with Ultimate Tegna after defeating it?"
If they continued to ignore it, Nightshade might once again engulf the entire Galar Region...
Damn, this was a tricky situation!
"I don't know," Shizuru shook his head.
In the game, Ultimate Tegna was eventually captured by the protagonist, Yu, while in the anime, it was captured by Go, only to be entrusted to Dante later.
Dante sought Professor Mulan's help, and she sealed Ultimate Tegna in a box and placed it in a safe.
However, they still hadn't found a way to handle Ultimate Tegna, so they could only continue to commission Sonia, who had now become a Pokemon Doctor, to research a solution for when Ultimate Tegna awakened again.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!" Dante decided not to continue discussing this bothersome topic after obtaining the information he sought.
He turned to Shizuru, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"It's been a long time since we had a Pokemon battle. Let's take this opportunity to spar!"
Ever since returning to the Galar Region, he hadn't lost a single Pokemon battle.
To encourage himself, to hone his skills, and to remind himself that there was always someone better out there, Dante decided to visit Shizuru annually for further training and battles with stronger Trainers and Pokemon!
Shizuru: "..."
Seeing Dante's eagerness, Shizuru suddenly thought of Riding Goat.
The last time Riding Goat was crushed by Dante's Dragonite, and now several years had passed. Riding Goat had improved significantly and had gained the power of Revitalization Grass.
Shizuru was curious.
He wanted to know how Riding Goat's current strength compared to Dante's Dragonite.
"Do you want to take on the Grass Trial again?" Shizuru asked.
Hearing this, Dante was surprised. "The Grass Trial?"
He had originally wanted to battle Shizuru's Gogoat.
Shizuru nodded, "To be honest, Riding Goat's strength has improved since your first challenge."
Upon hearing this, Dante also recalled those three special Riding Goats.
Had Riding Goat's strength increased again?
Dante immediately became interested and readily agreed.
"Great! Let's do the Grass Trial again!"
