Chapter Summaries

Luo Mu launched his farm’s fresh Milk Delivery Service, sending Dragonite and Corviknight to deliver milk to nine households in Los Platos. At the first stop, office worker Masayuki was stunned to find his affordable order delivered by the powerful Pokémon he had once dreamed of training.

• Luo Mu used an automatic milker to collect and bottle Moomoo Milk and goat milk, then loaded the orders into baskets for nine Corviknight.
• Dragonite led the Corviknight toward Los Platos and searched the skies and wilderness for Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, and Tinkaton that could threaten them.
• Masayuki had ordered fresh Moomoo Milk after a flyer offered affordable daily delivery, hoping to provide for his daughter Sunflower without straining his family’s budget.
• At 6:55, Dragonite and a Corviknight delivered two bottles to Masayuki’s home, leaving him amazed that such powerful Pokémon were delivering milk.

Masayuki discovered that the Moomoo Milk delivery service was run by Champion-Level Trainer Luo Mu and eagerly subscribed, while Dragonite trained Corviknight to make change. The service won repeat customers, and Luo Mu continued preparing with Mudsdale for the marathon tournament as he planned to expand the farm’s dairy business.

• Masayuki recognized Luo Mu as Paldea’s new Champion-Level Trainer after buying two bottles of Moomoo Milk, and he later arranged a month-long subscription at his wife’s request.
• Dragonite coached Three Hairs to make change, then returned to Luo Mu’s farm after the deliveries ended.
• Luo Mu calculated that the nine deliveries had earned 17,100 League currency from milk sales and continued training with Mudsdale for the 500-kilometer marathon.
• Oranguru told Luo Mu that all nine customers wanted more milk, Masayuki had subscribed for a month, and several customers had referred new buyers.
• The Corviknight Delivery Team set out again the next day as Luo Mu planned to promote the farm through the tournament and develop more dairy products.

Luo Mu and Officer Jenny registered for the Los Platos Pokémon Marathon Tournament, with Luo Mu entering Mudsdale and Officer Jenny entering her newly evolved Arcanine. As the contestants gathered before the race, Officer Jenny confidently declared that she would win.

• Luo Mu recognized Officer Jenny at registration, and she explained that she had hidden her identity because competing as an officer felt inappropriate.
• Granny Juzi encouraged Officer Jenny to compete openly and watched as Luo Mu registered Mudsdale for the roughly five-hundred-kilometer race.
• Luo Mu received contestant number twenty-six, while Officer Jenny received number twenty-five, and Granny Juzi went to find a place near the starting line.
• Luo Mu and Officer Jenny arrived at the waiting area and saw contestants with Pokémon including Dodrio, Rapidash, and Slowbro.
• Officer Jenny sent out her newly evolved Arcanine, drawing the contestants' attention, and declared that she would defeat Luo Mu.

Luo Mu and Mudsdale entered the Los Platos Marathon Tournament, where Mudsdale’s powerful running shook the course and eliminated many contestants. After catching the leaders, Mudsdale used Stomping Tantrum to knock out Tauros and Rapidash, leaving Officer Jenny and Arcanine still in the race.

• Officer Jenny challenged Luo Mu before the tournament, and he entered with Mudsdale as contestant number 26.
• The marathon began, and Mudsdale’s tremors knocked six contestants out while Slowbro and its elderly rider briefly took the lead using Teleport.
• Mudsdale powered through the wilderness course, catching and passing Saki’s Rhyhorn and the other leading contestants as Slowbro withdrew.
• Contestants number 1 and 6 attacked Mudsdale with Flamethrower, but Luo Mu ordered Stomping Tantrum, which sent Tauros and Rapidash crashing to the ground.
• Officer Jenny and Arcanine avoided the attack with Protect, while the spectators watched in stunned silence.

Luo Mu and Mudsdale won the Los Platos Pokémon Marathon, and Luo Mu used his champion’s speech to promote his Moomoo Milk delivery service. As orders flooded the farm, he visited Uva Academy’s library for pharmacology books and began preparing medicinal herbs and Sour Herba Mystica for the two Shuckle.

• Mudsdale defeated Rapidash and Tauros, then beat Officer Jenny and Arcanine to the finish line and won the marathon.
• Luo Mu placed the trophy and medal on Mudsdale, then advertised his Moomoo Milk delivery service during his champion’s speech.
• Luo Mu and the Pokémon processed a flood of calls and letters, and Corviknight delivered the first wave of milk orders around Los Platos.
• About eighty percent of customers continued their subscriptions, while the Los Platos mayor’s residence and Police Department placed large orders.
• Luo Mu visited Uva Academy’s library for pharmacology books, then put medicinal herbs and Sour Herba Mystica into Shuckle Younger Brother’s and Shuckle Older Sister’s shells.
• Luo Mu decided to teach Shuckle Younger Brother Pokémon battles so it could excel in a different area from its sister.

Luo Mu decided that Shuckle Younger Brother needed battle victories to build its confidence, so he took the Shuckle siblings to Levincia to challenge Iono. After Iono won ten battles in a row, Luo Mu volunteered to fight her.

• Luo Mu determined that Shuckle Younger Brother's fear of strong opponents came from a lack of confidence and that it needed suitable battles and victories.
• After watching Iono's livestream and judging her Pokémon's strength a good match, Luo Mu traveled to Levincia with Dragonite and the Shuckle siblings.
• At Levincia's Central Plaza, Iono defeated a Bug Catcher's Kricketune with Pikachu's Sweet Kiss and Electric Net, extending her winning streak to ten.
• When Iono asked for another challenger, Luo Mu raised his hand and asked to take part.

Luo Mu challenged Iono in Levincia and used Shuckle Younger Brother against her Terastallized Raichu. Shuckle defeated Raichu through defensive tactics and Toxic, leaving Iono’s streamed battle with the New Champion over.

• Iono reluctantly accepted Luo Mu’s challenge after her viewers reminded her she had promised to battle him.
• Luo Mu sent out Shuckle Younger Brother, while Shuckle Older Sister cheered it on from the sidelines.
• Raichu’s Thunderbolt failed against Shuckle’s Protect, and Shuckle used Power Split to weaken Raichu and strengthen itself.
• Shuckle poisoned Raichu with Toxic, then used Substitute and Sticky Web to frustrate Raichu as the poison wore it down.
• Iono Terastallized Raichu into an Electric type, but Shuckle endured its attacks and retaliated with Bug Bite, Stone Edge, and Earth Power.
• Raichu’s Terastallization ended as Toxic exhausted its remaining stamina, and Shuckle won the battle.

Luo Mu secured Iono’s Gym Badge for Shuckle Younger Brother’s first victory and prepared gifts for his Pokémon, while Nemona’s group traveled to the Crown Tundra and encountered a haunting in Freezington. The chapter ended with the exhausted group calling Luo Mu for help and to invite him to explore the Iceberg Ruins.

• Professor Oak, posting as Xue Cheng, praised Luo Mu’s tactics against Iono and expressed interest in visiting his laboratory to see the differently colored Shuckle.
• Luo Mu stopped Iono’s post-battle speech, claimed the Gym Badge for Shuckle Younger Brother, and left Levincia after Iono pushed him off the battlefield.
• Luo Mu gave the Shuckle siblings matching Silk Scarves, pinned the Badge to Shuckle Younger Brother’s scarf, and prepared gifts for the rest of his Pokémon.
• Nemona, Arven, Botan, and Pippa traveled through Galar, met Chairman Rose, and then followed Piers to the Crown Tundra, where Piers and Saguaro were investigating the Iceberg Ruins.
• Strange disappearances and possessions unsettled Freezington, and after several members of the group were possessed, they decided to call Luo Mu for help and an expedition.
• On the morning of July 30, Nemona’s exhausted group dialed Luo Mu’s Paldea Region number.

After Nemona and the others asked Luo Mu for help with the haunting in Freezington, he deduced that the mysterious presence was probably Calyrex and agreed to travel to the Crown Tundra with Vulpix. Before leaving, he checked the farm’s deliveries and went to speak with Moltres, only to find it asleep in midair.

• Nemona and the others called Luo Mu from Galar to invite him to explore Crown Academy’s ruins and help resolve Freezington’s haunting, explaining that Botan might remain in the Crown Tundra until it was settled.
• Luo Mu suspected that Calyrex was haunting Freezington and that Piers might be especially compatible with the weakened legendary Pokémon.
• Luo Mu asked Vulpix whether it wanted to visit a vast snowy region, and Vulpix eagerly agreed to go with him.
• Luo Mu decided the situation was not urgent and planned to handle the farm’s affairs before traveling to the Crown Tundra.
• Luo Mu checked that the Corviknight were delivering milk successfully, then rode Three Hairs toward Moltres to speak with it.
• Luo Mu discovered that Moltres was sleeping in a difficult pose in midair above the farm.

Luo Mu prepared to leave for the Crown Tundra, entrusted farm security to Moltres, and traveled to Galar with Dragonite. After reaching Motostoke Outskirts, he noticed two brothers on the roadside while heading to an inn for the night.

• Luo Mu asked Moltres to protect Corviknight from the Tinkaton clan while he was away, and promised it a special-carrot soup in return.
• Luo Mu informed the farm’s Pokémon of his trip and asked Oranguru to manage daily chores while he was gone.
• Luo Mu chose Pokémon for the Crown Tundra journey but left Serperior behind because the cold, cloudy climate would not suit it.
• On the afternoon of July 30, Luo Mu rode Dragonite to Motostoke Outskirts in Galar and decided to stay at an inn after the flying taxis stopped operating.
• Luo Mu noticed a pair of brothers by the roadside as he made his way to the inn.

Luo Mu reached the Crown Tundra by steam train after bad weather suspended Corviknight Flying Taxi service, and Nemona and the others came to meet him. He was shocked by how exhausted and unwell his students looked.

• Luo Mu watched two sick boys, Tommy and John, play in the courtyard of Motostoke Medical Sanatorium before John struggled to breathe and was taken inside.
• Luo Mu checked his supplies at the hotel, messaged Nemona and the others that he had arrived, and learned from Botan that worsening weather might suspend flights to the Crown Tundra.
• Luo Mu bought a ticket for the 8:30 steam train after finding the Corviknight Flying Taxi service suspended, then traveled with Victini and Vulpix to Giant's Bed.
• Luo Mu arrived at Crown Tundra Station at 1:30 in the afternoon and waited on Giant's Bed for Nemona and the others.
• Piers brought Nemona and the other three students to Luo Mu on his Copperajah, and Luo Mu was stunned by their dark circles, pale faces, and chapped lips.

Luo Mu arrived in Freezington to investigate the haunting that had exhausted Nemona, Arven, Botan, and Pippa. After completing the damaged statue with a wooden carving, he encountered Calyrex and followed it into the forest.

• Piers greeted Luo Mu as an exorcism master and brought him and the sleeping students to Freezington.
• Luo Mu saw how the hauntings had left the village deserted and its fields neglected, then learned from Piers and Saguaro that the incidents began after their explorations around the Crown Tundra.
• Ceruledge and Mimikyu found no clues, so Luo Mu planned to investigate the village and wait for the haunting to return at night.
• Piers gave Luo Mu a wooden broccoli carving, which Luo Mu fitted into the missing part of the village's damaged Pokémon statue.
• Vulpix spotted a green Pokémon in the forest, and Luo Mu recognized Calyrex before following it beyond the village fence.

Luo Mu learned that Calyrex had been possessing Freezington residents to communicate, then met it at Icepique Field and used Victini’s power to restore its strength. Calyrex brought him to the Crown Shrine and entrusted him with a sleeping Cosmog.

• Luo Mu suspected the Galar Royal Family had helped erase Calyrex from history and followed Calyrex into the woods with Piers.
• Calyrex possessed Piers, revealed that it had been seeking a suitable body to convey its words, and invited Luo Mu to meet it that night.
• Calyrex released Piers and told Luo Mu to come alone; Luo Mu assured the cabin’s residents that the possession incidents would stop.
• Luo Mu met Calyrex at Icepique Field, where Victini restored enough of its power for it to use Telepathy.
• Calyrex transported Luo Mu to the Crown Shrine and showed him a sleeping Cosmog, asking him to take it.

Luo Mu met Calyrex at Crown Shrine and took in Cosmog, whom the lonely king had been caring for. After bringing Cosmog back to Freezington, Luo Mu planned to help Calyrex regain its strength and told the others that the King of Bountiful Harvests was real.

• Calyrex told Luo Mu it had rescued Cosmog from an Ultra Wormhole and had been seeking someone trustworthy to care for it.
• Calyrex secretly redirected Cosmog into Luo Mu's arms, then disappeared from Crown Shrine as Cosmog bonded with Luo Mu and Victini over Poffins.
• Luo Mu took Cosmog from Crown Shrine, sheltered it with Dragonite and Victini in a cave during a blizzard, and concluded that Calyrex had chosen him because it could no longer care for Cosmog.
• Luo Mu planned to make Calyrex confront the loss of its believers and regain its strength by taming Glastrier and Spectrier with Victini's help.
• Luo Mu returned to Freezington, where Nemona, Arven, Botan, Pippa, Piers, and Saguaro gathered to hear what he had learned.
• Luo Mu told the group that Calyrex was real and had entrusted a Pokémon to him, and Cosmog woke and poked its head from his collar.

Luo Mu learned that Galar’s history had erased Calyrex’s rule and planned to lure the weakened king out by entering the Iceberg Ruins. Cosmog unexpectedly Teleported Luo Mu and his companions away, leaving Calyrex outside the sealed ruins, unable to follow.

• Luo Mu introduced Cosmog to the group, explained that Calyrex had entrusted it to him, and asked everyone to investigate what Freezington remembered about the king.
• Piers obtained an old book describing Calyrex’s deeds, and Luo Mu and the others realized that Galar’s accepted history might have concealed the truth.
• Luo Mu sent Piers, Nemona, Arven, and Pippa to plant radish seeds while Comfey and Luxray protected them, then traveled to the Iceberg Ruins with Botan and Saguaro.
• Luo Mu revealed that a Regirock could open the ancient door, hoping Calyrex would show itself to stop him.
• Cosmog suddenly used group Teleport to carry Luo Mu, Botan, Saguaro, Ceruledge, and Swampert away, and Calyrex appeared at the ruins, unable to break their seal.

Cosmog accidentally Teleported Luo Mu, Botan, Saguaro, and their Pokémon into the Iceberg Ruins, where they awakened the legendary giant Regice. Ceruledge fought Regice but could not break its defenses, leaving Botan and Saguaro to suspect Luo Mu was preparing a strategy.

• Cosmog Teleported Luo Mu, Botan, Saguaro, Ceruledge, and Swampert into the Iceberg Ruins, then fell asleep from exhaustion.
• Luo Mu failed to break the ruins’ ancient door with Swampert and decided to follow the ruins’ activation process while Ceruledge protected Botan and Saguaro.
• Luo Mu stepped on the seven floor dots, causing the statue to shed its covering and reveal Regice, which immediately attacked everyone with Ice Beam.
• Ceruledge countered Regice’s attacks and struck it repeatedly, but its boosted moves failed to leave a mark on Regice’s icy body.
• Saguaro worried that Regice had taken no damage, while Botan believed Luo Mu was deliberately targeting the same spot to prepare a strategy.

Luo Mu’s Ceruledge defeated Regice, and Luo Mu caught the Ice Titan before the ruin gate opened and Calyrex rushed inside. Outside the ruin, Calyrex learned that Freezington had forgotten it and agreed to consider leaving the Crown Tundra with Luo Mu if he helped restore its strength and find Glastrier and Spectrier.

• Ceruledge exploited Regice’s weakness with repeated strikes and a final Flare Blitz, defeating the Ice Titan while sustaining only recoil damage.
• Luo Mu caught Regice with his fifth Ultra Ball after the first four shattered, and the ruin’s gate opened.
• Calyrex entered the ruin looking for Cosmog, then left with Luo Mu, Botan, and Saguaro when it realized it could not Teleport inside.
• Luo Mu told Calyrex that the people of Freezington regarded it as fictional, and Calyrex resolved not to depend on humans to restore its strength.
• Calyrex explained that it had lost contact with its former steeds, Glastrier and Spectrier, and said it might leave the Crown Tundra if Luo Mu helped it regain its strength and raise Cosmog.

Luo Mu and Calyrex lured Spectrier to the Ancient Cemetery with Black Radishes, then Calyrex revived the crops with its harvest power. As Victini helped Calyrex recover, Spectrier arrived and Luxray began battling it.

• Botan and Saguaro discussed Calyrex’s two rumored steeds, and Luo Mu revealed that Spectrier and Glastrier favored special radishes grown in the Crown Tundra.
• Piers, Nemona, Pippa, and Arven planted Black Radish seeds at the Ancient Cemetery while Luxray and Comfey helped tend the field.
• Luo Mu brought Calyrex to the cemetery, where Victini restored Cosmog’s energy and Cosmog eagerly embraced Calyrex.
• Calyrex used its remaining strength to make the Black Radishes grow, then weakened and relied on Victini to recharge it as Spectrier approached.
• Spectrier charged toward Luo Mu’s radish, but Luxray blocked it, countered its Shadow Ball and Phantom Force, and knocked it down with Snarl.

Luo Mu helped Calyrex reclaim Spectrier, gathered the materials for the Reins of Unity, and brought them to Freezington’s village chief to craft them. As the chief demonstrated the sewing before a crowd, Luo Mu noticed Mohn leaving with Lillie, whose identity and presence caught his attention.

• Luxray weakened Spectrier, and Calyrex used Victini’s support to restrain it before persuading it to renew its loyalty in exchange for Black Radishes.
• Calyrex gathered Spectrier’s mane and used its power to bloom Gleaming Petals, then gave both materials to Luo Mu for the Reins of Unity.
• Piers led Luo Mu to Freezington’s village chief, who agreed to sew the reins and staged a public demonstration for the village’s tourists.
• Mohn left Freezington with Lillie, and Piers told Luo Mu that Mohn often came to barter and spoke of a daughter no one had seen.

Luo Mu obtained the Reins of Unity with Piers’s help and reunited Calyrex with Spectrier, allowing them to enter Centaur State. Calyrex and Luo Mu planted Ice Radishes in Snowy Creek Valley to lure Glastrier, which charged toward Luo Mu and Luxray at the chapter’s end.

• Luo Mu recognized Mohn and the Shiny Nihilego accompanying him in Freezington, then considered visiting Mohn later and deciding whether to tell Lusamine.
• Piers sewed the Reins of Unity while singing with the villagers, and he told Luo Mu he would stay in Freezington with the children while Luo Mu dealt with Calyrex.
• Luo Mu brought the finished reins to Calyrex, who joined with Spectrier and transformed into Centaur State.
• Calyrex used Star Shatter to clear the clouds over Snowy Creek Valley, then laid out a plan to lure Glastrier with Ice Radishes while he and Spectrier hid.
• Calyrex blessed the field so the Ice Radishes grew, and after Luo Mu waited there with Luxray and the others, Glastrier arrived and charged at Luxray.
