"He even seems to have caught a Legendary Pokémon."
Serena nodded too.
"That's true."
Remembering how Black Rayquaza, Latios, and Latias had all listened to Lu Ze that day, Clemont felt reassured.
It was only natural for a Trainer whose Legendary Pokémon were that powerful to have other strong Pokémon too.
"What Pokémon is that?"
After looking at Snorlax and Charizard, Ash became interested in Lu Ze's Sirfetch'd and Iron Valiant.
"Sirfetch'd. It evolves from Farfetch'd, and it's a Pokémon from the Galar region."
Reading the Pokédex entry, Ash couldn't help exclaiming, "Farfetch'd has an evolution?"
Lu Ze smiled. Not only did Farfetch'd have an evolution, Ash would even have a Sirfetch'd of his own someday.
"And this one?"
Ash pointed his Pokédex at the aloof-looking Iron Valiant.
"No Pokédex entry found."
This time, though, the Pokédex had no information on Iron Valiant.
Lu Ze didn't know how to explain Iron Valiant to Ash either.
After all, he still hadn't figured out Paradox Pokémon himself.
He knew even less about what this world was like.
Under the circumstances, explaining it seemed difficult.
"Char, char~"
When Ash pointed the Pokédex at Charcadet again, Charcadet panicked and hid behind Lu Ze.
"This little one's called Charcadet. He's a bit shy around strangers."
Lu Ze bent down and picked Charcadet up before explaining to Ash.
"Brother Xiao Ze, your Pokémon are so interesting!"
Ash was thrilled. Following Korrina's example, calling Lu Ze "brother" had become natural for him.
"A Shiny Beldum! I remember Mr. Steven Stone has one too, but his is a Metagross now."
Ash grew excited again as he watched Beldum, whose rear end was stuck in a rock.
"A Pseudo-legendary Pokémon... I wonder when I'll catch one."
It's only a Shiny Pseudo-legendary. I have a pink Dratini too.
