Story of Galar
As the group sits down at the seats in the classroom, Ash and Lillie start their tale of their Galar Region.
"You see, in last year, after I won the Champion title of Sevestar, Lillie and I split ourselves and we decide to make a region. Since this can be made by mother, so why can't we?"
"So you made a region all by yourselves? What is Mom going to think of that?" Minami asks.
"Don't worry, I just have to make the guide for her, that is all." Lillie says. "Now we should start the story. After we finish creating the region, we also let one of our substidiary company, Marco Cosmos to help us with this as well."
"I see. So that is why the company is absent for these months." Golly says.
"Now let's start the story, we have a house at the town known as Postrick. And we are close friends with Leon and Hop." Ash says.
"Wait, aren't those two from Kalos High?" Dawn asks. "Leon was the undefeatable Champion until he gratuated, and then Alain takes his place..."
"You're right. Despite the school hating me, Hop was actually one of the friends that stand by my side secretly." Ash says. "In fact, it is because of this reason that I let him come to stay in Postwick."
Namie says, "Speaking of Hop, he is now an assistant of Professor Sonia."
"Yeah." Terra says.
"That's good to hear. And they have come a year before the Kalos High closed down. So he get his starter Pokemon there." Ash shows the three Pokemon. "These are Rillaboom, Cinderace and Inteleon. They are the final evolution of the three starters."
"They sure are really cool." Reisa says.
"Yeah." David says.
"It was after we picked our starter, we found the entrance to the forbidden Slumbering Weald breaks open by a Wooloo, so Hop and us go in there." Ash says.
"Wait, you go in there for real?" Allister gasps.
"Yeah, but that is when we meet the two Pokemon in the fog." Lillie says.
"What two Pokemon?" Elline asks.
"Let's remain a secret for now, since the fog was too strong, we can't see a thing, but Leon comes and save us, so we are saved and then he takes us to the lab." Lillie says.
"Since Hop needs a new Pokedex for the region. And this time we go find Professor Magnolia and her granddaughter Sonia."
"Wait, Professor Magnolia? The vice principal?" Drew asks.
"Yeah. The same one." Bea says. "If you want to challenge the gyms, you have to have the endorsement in order to enter. But with Leon's help. Brother and Hop have the endorsement."
"What? It should be really hard to enter the league." Nate says.
"Yeah, but what's exciting about the Galar Region is the Dynamax." Ash says as they show the bands on the wrist. "These are Dynamax Bands."
"What can Dynamax do?" Insey asks.
Ash plays a video on the screen, there they can see that Lillie yells, "Are you ready, Snowy?"
Her Ninetales nod as she recalls the Pokemon, then the Pokeball starts to grow big and then comes out of Snowy with 10 times bigger.
"What the...Snowy is bigger than you?" Alice gasps.
"Yeah." Lillie says. "I guess this was me trying to fight a wild Dynamax Pokemon."
"Max Hailstorm!" Lillie yells as Snowy creates a giant attack, causing the Pokemon to fall down the ground hard.
"This is your chance! Lillie!" Ash yells inside the video. Lillie takes out the Ultra Ball and then it becomes bigger as well. "Let's go!"
The giant Pokeball creates giant winds and it sucks up the giant Pokemon, then it lands on the ground, the shake causes the earthquake to happen, after three shakes, it goes down to the ground and becomes smaller.
"Now you can capture them as well?" Mark says.
"You'll be surprised. In the Wild Area located in the Galar Region, it is possible to capture it." Ash says.
"The wild area is really big, and there are some energy as currency so we can buy a lot of stuff." Terra says. "We don't have an Elite 4, but we have 18 gyms located in the Galar Region. And we have a set order as well."
"She's right." Bea says. "Like our Grandaunt Opal is in the higher position than us."
"Even Grandaunt Opal is there as well?" Minami gasps.
"Yeah. But she retires and has her gym given to Bede." Ash says.
"You mean that annoying Bede?" Insey groans. "What is she thinking?"
"You know him?" Luke asks.
"He was a bully back at my school. He treats everyone as weaklings." Insey says.
"I can tell, he says that to us as well. But it is when he was using Chairman Rose's Pokemon to destroy the historic site that he was stripped of his challenge. Then Grandaunt decides to pity him and trains him." Ash says. "And he has been better now."
"I see. That is fine." Insey says.
"Speaking of Chairman Rose, what happened to him? We haven't heard of him since last month."
"He was arrested, for bring the terror to Galar for the sake of future." Allister sighs.
"What do you mean? He is arrested?" Helen asks.
"He wants to save the future Galar Region, therefore he needs the energy of the Wishing Stars to create the Darkest Day." Lillie says. "The Darkest Day is the one and only Poison Type Legendary, it is also the reason why Ms. Ketchum doesn't want to create Poison Type Legendaries in the first place."
"Yeah. It almost destroyed everything, but thanks to Zacian and Zamazenta's help, they saved us all." Ash says.
"Are they really holding a sword and a shield?" David asks. "Not that I don't like it, but it is cool."
"Yeah." Bea says. "They sure are cool. Especially when they saved us all."
"But if Chairman Rose is arrested, what about the company?" Golly asks.
"Don't worry. His daughter Relena can help managing it. She is also the Steel Type Gym Leader as well." Ash says.
"I see." Daniel says. "But what's with the outfits? They look really like sports uniforms."
"They are the Gym Uniforms." Namie says. "You see, in the Galar Region, we have to wear uniforms in order to face the Gym Challenge. Mine is Normal Type. While Bea here is Fighting, Allister is Ghost, Terra is Ground and Shelia is Bug."
"Wow, they look very interesting, can we have them as well?" Serena asks.
"Sure. But first we should call the clothes brand first." Lillie says. "And we also have to say that before taking on the Gym Leader, we also have Gym Missions."
"Gym missions?" Gladion asks.
"You have to pass a challenge in order to face the Gym Leaders." Allster says. "Like mine is riding the spinning cup from the top to the bottom."
"That sure is dizzy." Emily says.
"Yeah, but after the Gym Challenge, we are going to battle in the stadium as 1000 or more people are watching. And every Gym Leader is able to Gigantamax as well."
"Seriously? What is Gigantamax? Is it different from Dynamax?"
"Of course. They change the forms from the outside and they are stronger than usual. Like my Gigantamax Pokemon is no other than Eevee and Meowth." Namie says.
"And mine is Gengar while Bea is Machamp. Terra is Sandaconda and Shelia is Butterfree."
"That sure is really tough." Trenor says.
"Yeah, but it is also fun to do so. Maybe if we have a chance, we can take you there."
"Sure." The group agrees as they follow Ash and the others back to the gym.
Here is a new chapter, and guess what? I finally bought the Pokemon Shield Version as well as my own Switch. I am really happy that a poor guy like me finally have enough money to buy it. And right after I play for the first hour, the news of the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra also appears, and I manage to catch a Galarian Slowpoke as well.
Now back on the story, the story is basically the same as the game, only with Ash and Lillie are the main protagonists. The next chapter will be showing the Pokemon. I hope you like it.
