Perhaps that was what a sense of disparity felt like.
Before Incineroar could fantasize about wielding Sword and Shield and sweeping all before it, harsh reality laid itself bare.
Sword and Shield avoided it as if it were the plague.
Petrified~
On the other side, Reshiram was not surprised by the outcome either.
As a Dragon-type, it would be awkward for it to carry Sword and Shield into battle—
It would be strange, and it did not suit its fighting style. This outcome was far more reasonable.
After rejecting Reshiram and Incineroar first, Sword and Shield began drifting around before the remaining Pokémon.
Pokémon such as Diancie, Milotic, the Dragalge siblings, Hisuian Braviary, and Metagross, all of whom bore obvious traces of legendary power.
Sword and Shield merely paused before them for a moment before fleeing outright.
The sight made Su Hao click his tongue in wonder.
Sword and Shield really knew how to pick.
As one of the legendary artifacts, they contained the special King's Power Calyrex had infused into them. Thus, Sword and Shield were unwilling to serve the same master alongside other legendary powers.
If they had to choose, they would choose someone with a clean background—or someone particularly suited to them.
The sight of them floating in midair and swaying gently held Lusamine's family utterly spellbound.
Until—
The sword within Sword and Shield was the first to make its choice.
Dragging its body, broken into two halves, the sword drifted resolutely in one direction.
Just as Su Hao had expected.
The sword chose Leafeon.
"Leafeon~"
Leafeon lowered its head and curiously examined the sword that had landed before it, considering how it would use it in battle after it was reforged.
After all, it could not simply start walking upright whenever it wanted.
As Su Hao
