Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 66 Galar Fair

(Wednesday)

The last class of the Language Class is still about the expressions of Pokemon, and the Battle Studies class is Link Battles, which is something that is related to virtual battles.

After the class, we decide to look at the Galar Fair, the final fair for this semester. We see the exhibit of the Darkest Day, and I decide to tell them the story.

"3,000 years ago, when Eternatus attempted to stay alive by absorbing Galar's energy, it caused a red light to appear. This resulted in the Darkest Day. This phenomenon, in the form of a black storm, caused Pokémon to Dynamax and Gigantamax. However, they went berserk in the process, almost destroying the region. The event ended when Eternatus was defeated by Zacian and Zamazenta, along with the two heroes that wield the sword and the shield."

"So I have to guess that Eternatus awakened again and you are one of the heroes that stop it?" Reisa asks.

"Eternatus was awakened because Chairman Rose wants to use it to avert the Dynamax energy shortage predicted to happen after a thousand years." I sigh. "He wants Leon to capture the Pokemon but failed."

"I see... I heard that a year ago, Chairman Rose was arrested, so this is what happened..." Luke says with a frown.

Then we head to the next exhibit, and it is showing Kubfu and Urshifu. "In the Galar Region, there is a place known as the Isle of Armor. Kubfu is the secret armor living in that place. Only those who have achieved the trials of the Master Dojo will be able to achieve them. It evolves into Urshifu when shown the scroll in one of the Towers of Two Fists. The form it evolves into depends on the tower it is trained in."

"I know. There is the Single-Strike Style and the Rapid-Strike Style." Lillie says. "Both of them are equally amazing."

"Indeed." I smile.

Then we also look at Zarude, and it also reminds me of the day when I met Koko and Dada. And after that, we also get to see Regieleki and Regidrago.

"So those two are similar to the Regis that we saw in the other fairs?" Reisa asks.

"Yeah. Both Pokemon are also strong, and I wonder why they only reside in the Split-Decision Ruins aside from other places." I sigh.

"And this is the final one... the King of Harvest: Calyrex." Luke says.

"Calyrex is said to have ruled Galar in ancient times as a merciful king. It also has the power to see the past, present, and future of any kind when at full power. One legend said Calyrex used its foresight ability to save creatures of a forest from a meteor one time. One fairy tale even mentions Calyrex stealing the body of a human that causes mischief. It has been referred to as the "King of Bountiful Harvests" due to its role in bringing lush vegetation and harvests yearly. Calyrex's right hand can cause the land to be covered in verdant grass and blooms, while its left hand allows it to make fields of fruit ripen and become heavy. Calyrex can create either Iceroot or Shaderoot Carrots, depending on the field where the Carrot Seeds are planted, with a special dance. Calyrex can also create the Radiant Petal needed for the Reins of Unity. It can provide healings or blessings such as mending the heart. While it shows no mercy to those that stand in its way, it will heal the wounds of a foe afterward. Calyrex is powerful enough to move an entire forest and its Pokémon to a new location." Lillie says.

"And it has two steeds, Glastrier and Spectrier. Each of the Pokemon is dangerous and only Calyrex is able to tame them." I say. "And by riding the horse Pokemon, Calyrex can become Ice Rider or Shadow Rider." I say.

"That is amazing." Nemona says. "Galar sure is something else."

(Thursday)

We learn Ribbons & Marks in Art Class, and I know for sure that Contest Ribbons and other ribbons really help with the friendship with our Pokemon. And today is the day when we get to meet Leon, the former World Monarch. He is not alone as he is accompanied by Sonia and Hop. After greeting them, Leon says, "Looks like you're having a lot of fun in school, Ash."
