Laverre City.
South of Laverre City lay a famous mountain range called the Alforn Mountains, stretching from east to west.
The mountains rolled on, lush and green.
Diancie, whom Li Wei was searching for, lived in a cave somewhere among these mountains.
In the lush forest,
Metagross cleared the way, while Lucario and Arcanine stayed at Li Wei's sides. Two Dragapult lurked in his shadow.
Few people ventured here, though the mountain trail was fairly clear at first.
But the farther they went, the fewer signs of people there were, until the trail was completely swallowed by untouched vegetation.
"Shaymin, don't run too far ahead."
"Shaymin~"
Shaymin ran all over the dense forest.
For Shaymin, entering a forest was like coming home.
Quite apart from Shaymin's natural affinity with wild Pokémon,
with Lucario and Metagross here, the forest's wild Pokémon wouldn't dare attack recklessly.
The wild Pokémon had to weigh whether they could beat Lucario and the others.
Galarian Farfetch'd dragged its Leek along, following closely behind Shaymin.
"Quack, quack!"
(Wait for me!)
They weren't playing hide-and-seek or some sort of chasing game.
Farfetch'd was simply upholding a knight's virtues by protecting Shaymin.
Even though Farfetch'd still couldn't beat Shaymin.
After all, it had only been half a month since Farfetch'd hatched.
Although Shaymin was also a juvenile, it at least had beginner Professional-level strength.
Li Wei carried a Gracidea Flower with him, so he could change Shaymin from Land Forme to Sky Forme at any time.
As Li Wei headed toward the marked pink dot,
the mechanical female voice sounded in his mind again.
