Chapter 91 — I Am a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta

Noticing his sister's change in expression, Zacian broke into a cold sweat and hastily spoke:

[No, now that both my sister and I have recovered our strength, we don't need both of us to stay here and guard]

As he spoke, Zacian turned to look at Zamazenta, and under his sister's threatening gaze, he reluctantly continued:

[I'll stay behind to guard this place, sister can go along with them]

Hearing this, Zamazenta raised her head high, and her cool, mature voice came through telepathy:

[Although I'm not particularly interested, it wouldn't hurt to go out and take a look. I suppose I'll do you the favor of coming along]

Hop, Marnie, and the other girls showed strange expressions.

What's with this subtle tsundere atmosphere?

Are all legendary Pokémon like this?

"Emmm~ Then would you mind taking care of Shield Dog, Sonia?"

Sun Wuming thought briefly for two seconds before turning to Sonia.

"Eh? Me?"

Sonia pointed at herself in disbelief.

"Yes."

Sun Wuming nodded and started to explain:

"We traveled toge..."

Just as Sun Wuming was about to say the word "traveled," Sonia's eyes suddenly became extremely panicked, and she kept giving him warning looks.

Sun Wuming suddenly realized that Sonia didn't want Gloria to know they had traveled together before.

He had to abruptly change his words:

"When we were together in Hammerlocke, didn't you take good care of these two dogs? Besides, Slumbering Weald is close to Postwick, so having the dogs stay with you seems more convenient."

At first glance, Sun Wuming's words seemed to make sense.

But upon careful consideration, Gloria noticed there seemed to be several hidden issues.

Back during the Galar Star Tournament, Gloria had vaguely sensed something wasn't quite right.

Why did Sonia get along so well with Zamazenta and Zacian?

She groomed them daily and prepared their meals.

And the two dogs were completely at ease with it, showing no resistance at all.

It felt like they had been together for a long time.

Furthermore, how could Sun Wuming so naturally entrust such an important Pokémon as Zacian to Sonia?

Even taking a step back, if choosing a temporary caretaker for the Fighting-type Zacian,

Wouldn't Hop, his precious disciple, be more suitable?

Emmm... though if Sun Wuming had chosen Hop, Gloria felt she wouldn't have been happy either.

Noticing her friend's slight change in expression, Sonia quickly forced a smile and changed the subject:

"Oh, right, Wuming, where do you want to go first on your journey?"

Although the topic change was somewhat abrupt, it did successfully draw the attention of Gloria, Hop, and Marnie.

Sun Wuming temporarily put down his chopsticks and after thinking for a few seconds said:

"Hmm... Kalos."

"Eh?"

Hop asked in surprise:

"I thought with Master's style, you'd go first to the Kanto region, known as the [Strongest League]."

Sun Wuming couldn't really explain to these girls.

The main reason he wanted to go to Kalos first was because that was the last Pokémon game he had played before quitting in his previous life.

He had somewhat special feelings about it.

Secondly, like Galar, there was the Alola region which he knew nothing about after quitting.

Though it hadn't joined the League yet, it was still a world-famous vacation destination.

He'd like to visit when he had the chance.

As for Kanto... well, it was Sun Wuming's childhood memory.

But he wasn't in a hurry to go there.

After all, according to recent news, Giovanni's identity as Team Rocket's boss hadn't even been exposed yet.

Going at this stage felt like it would be quite boring.

...

...

For Sun Wuming's group, the Magnolia Lab was quite familiar.

Back when only Hop and Gloria were training, they had stayed here for quite a while.

Like before, Hop had one room, Gloria and Sonia the odd pair shared another room.

And Marnie was squeezed onto the same bed as Hop.

Sun Wuming, as usual, lay on the couch.

Tap~ tap~

Just as Sun Wuming was about to enter dreamland.

In the living room lit only by moonlight, footsteps echoed.

"Why aren't you sleeping at this late hour?"

Sun Wuming, who had been lying with his hands behind his head, straightened up, knowing without looking who had come out.

Wearing thin white pajamas that perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure, Sonia slowly walked to the other side of the couch and sat down. After a brief silence, she bit her lip and asked:

"Um... is it really okay to leave Zacian in my care?"

Sun Wuming raised an eyebrow, "You got up in the middle of the night just to ask this? It's not a big deal, why worry so much..."

Not a big deal?

Sonia's expression became somewhat strange.

That's a Legendary Pokémon, a hero from Galar's legends.

Making it sound as casual as finding a Caterpie on the roadside.

Thinking back to dinner time, when Zacian mentioned that it and Zamazenta might not be able to follow Sun Wuming out of Galar, and his nonchalant attitude about it.

Sonia couldn't help but smile.

Maybe to him, it really wasn't a big deal.

"But... wouldn't Hop be more suitable?"

Sonia lowered her head and said softly.

As Sun Wuming's beloved disciple and a Fighting-type expert,

How could she not think Hop would be more suitable than herself.

"It's too early for that kid to handle Legendaries. A trainer without sufficient personal strength, if acknowledged by Legendaries, might become dependent on their power."

As he said this, Sun Wuming couldn't help but recall that Legendary trainer Tobias who defeated Ash at the Lily of the Valley Conference.

He had thought after becoming the tournament champion, there would be an earth-shattering battle with the Sinnoh Elite Four.

But damn, he was immediately crushed by the Sinnoh Elite Four.

It could only be said that this guy relied too heavily on the power of Darkrai and other Legendaries, while his own strength was severely lacking.

Once his command patterns were seen through, he could easily be defeated by experienced trainers.

And if he left Zacian in Hop's care, although unlikely, Sun Wuming worried the kid might become intoxicated with the Legendary's power, neglecting to train his own abilities.

"So you're saying that in your heart, Hop is still more suitable than me?"

Sonia's tone was very dejected.

The next moment, Sonia suddenly felt a somewhat rough large hand touch her cheek, gently caressing it.

Sonia slightly raised her head to look forward, seeing Sun Wuming showing a helpless smile.

"Don't overthink it, you're very important too, don't forget, you're the person who has accompanied me the longest since I crossed over to this world."

Speaking, Sun Wuming's right hand dropped down, took hold of Sonia's small hand, and then gently pulled her into his embrace.

What Sun Wuming said was actually true. Although he had known Hop and Gloria longer than Sonia,

In terms of time spent together, he had traveled with Sonia longer.

Though she wasn't as strong as Hop and Gloria as a trainer,

During their travels, Sonia's housewife-like qualities, comparable to Brock's, indeed made Sun Wuming's heart flutter from time to time.

If Hop and Marnie were the type of cute girls most suitable to be treated as daughters,

And Gloria was the type of glamorous model suitable to be a lover,

Then Sonia was undoubtedly the type of capable partner that men would most want to marry.

Although they had held hands before at the castle in Hammerlocke,

That was the only time.

And it was Sonia who initiated it.

Sonia's cheeks turned slightly red; it was the first time Sun Wuming had held her hand.

Not to mention now they were completely pressed together.

"Cross over? World? Could it be that joke you made with Chairman Rose was true?"

Leaning slightly against the man's firm chest, Sonia noticed the issue in Sun Wuming's earlier words and turned her face halfway, asking curiously.

"Ah... that..."

Sun Wuming, with one arm around Sonia, scratched his head awkwardly with his other hand, still thinking about how to explain to Sonia.

He felt that if he said he had crossed over, she wouldn't believe it anyway.

Might as well give a different explanation.

"Actually, I'm not a human from this planet."

Sun Wuming said with feigned depth.

"Ah?"

Sonia was dumbfounded.

But she wasn't too surprised.

Because she was originally a research scholar.

Of course, she knew well that besides the Pokémon planet they lived on, there were other planets and other Pokémon in the vast universe.

The most famous Pokémon from outer space was undoubtedly Deoxys.

Sun Wuming continued to deceive: "I'm from Planet Vegeta, from the Saiyan race, known as the strongest warrior race in the universe."

Sonia's mouth slightly opened, her face frozen, unable to say a word for a long time.

Sun Wuming also felt awkward, thinking perhaps he had gone too far with the deception, would no one believe it?

However, after about half a minute passed, Sonia gradually calmed down and said with an "I see now" expression:

"So that's it, that's why you have powers different from the people of our planet."

Sun Wuming: "..."

Sun Wuming indicated that he was completely speechless.

Earlier when he told the truth about coming from Earth, no one believed him.

Now when he tells this lie about coming from Planet Vegeta, you actually believe it.

This world is too magical.
