The Elder nodded at this before turning to Chuck, "Complete Mustard training with Kubfu, and return here and we shall let you enter the village to obtain the flower you wish. Be warned though, we sense a a powerful trainer on the island being controlled by a Malamar wielding a powerful pokemon, though from what Mei and Cammy tell you, you have a powerful pokemon of your own" He told Chuck.

"Right, I'll do that." Chuck said, nodding and petting the Kubfu on his shoulder.

Jen guess she do some training as Chuck finish Master Mustard training. Aura hugs jet mom before following Jen.

"Shiranui and I can always come back to the dojo to meet up with you guys after we are done with the World Coronation event happening in the Wild Area," Liam sad with a smile.

Shiranui nodded in agreement to Liam's statement. He was wary about the Malamar-controlled trainer.

“Sounds cool with me that we meet back up at the Dojo,” Jen said as she switch out her pokemon.

"Well, I guess we should get going then Shiranui," Liam said.

"Sounds like a plan," Shiranui agreed, "We should be wary of that Malamar-controlled trainer. There's no telling if they have one or more of Saisei's descendants or not."

“We will be careful and who is Saisei’s defendants,” Jen ask as she and Aura are curious about the anout the answer to that question?

"They're Pokémon like Hibiki who had been genetically engineered with Saisei's DNA," Shiranui reminded, referring to the poachers' Pokémon experiments, "Meaning they're technically my Mewtwo's children or grandchildren."

"I christened them Pokemorphs during my time with the Poucher, and still call them this to this day after I left them, remember Jen?" Serina added. "The Malamar controlled Trainer is one of my siblings of Shinobi no Shiki, no doubt Nobunaga Kazuma plans" Serina also laid out for Jen and Co once more. "Oh, Shinranui, don't forget to ask Xerneas and Ho-oh about what we discovered today"

Mei hugged her daughter tightly before letting her return to her trainer, The Elder chuckled as he watched them "I see, my niece is just as powerful as you were when you were younger Mei.

Jen remembers and blush in embrassment and wonders if Chuck is ready to go or did he left her behind. Aura is proud to hear that from a Elder Lucario as she and Jen sense the aura of the trainer that they will face soon.

"Oh, Shinranui, don't forget to ask Xerneas and Ho-oh about what we discovered today"

"Will do," Shiranui acknowledged.

With that, Liam and Shiranui returned to mainland Galar to the Giant Seat. As They approached, Liam spotted a manmade prymid structure. "Hey, Shiranui! Look whose here!" Liam said pointing out the Battle Pryamid.

"If that's the Battle Pyramid then Brandon is here doing some research," stated Shiranui, "Rotom, are there any legendary titans around here?"
"Checking…two entries found. First entry: Regieleki, the Electron Pokémon. An Electric type. Its entire body is made up of a single organ that generates electrical energy. Regieleki is capable of creating all Galar’s electricity. Second entry: Regidrago, the Dragon Orb Pokémon. A Dragon type. Its body is composed of crystallised dragon energy. Regidrago is said to have the powers of every dragon Pokémon."

Jen did some training as she waits for Chuck.

Chuck took the Kubfu, whom he decided to name Ungyo, around the island, checking out all the sights together.

"If that's the Battle Pyramid then Brandon is here doing some research," stated Shiranui, "Rotom, are there any legendary titans around here?"
"Checking…two entries found. First entry: Regieleki, the Electron Pokémon. An Electric type. Its entire body is made up of a single organ that generates electrical energy. Regieleki is capable of creating all Galar’s electricity. Second entry: Regidrago, the Dragon Orb Pokémon. A Dragon type. Its body is composed of crystallised dragon energy. Regidrago is said to have the powers of every dragon Pokémon."

Liam's ears perked upon hearing about the Dragon-Type Regi. "I may have to fight the Pyramid King for that one," Liam was searching for Brandon so they could say hi. But, one of the attendants flagged the duo down and ushered them into the Battle Pyramid to be with the other participating trainers.
"Do you think we could have a moment to talk with Brandon?" Liam inquired.
"Sorry, but the Pyramid King, is very busy at this moment, and can't talk to any trainers. If he talks to one of you, he has to talk to all of you."
Liam started to say something, but heard a voice in his head say.
"Sir, please pardon my interruption." It was Sherlock, Liam's Alakazam. At this point, he started communicating telepathically with Shiranui as well. "That Brandon and his attendants are imposters. I sense two rooms below with people tied up being watched by others. To be precise, The real Brandon is being watched over by Billie and Kidd. The attendants are being watched over by another pair of Rockets I don't know. I am unsure of who the other Rockets here are." From there Liam using Sherlock as a Middle Mon, asked if they should both go looking for the captives, or if both of them being gone might be suspecious since if these are Rockets, they might be watching the two of them.

Shiranui made an alteration to his party. "Liam, you stay here with Zoro while I go and look for the captives under Zoro's illusory cover," he suggested over Sherlock's mind link.

Sherlock then spoke into Shiranui's mind. "Take the stairs off to the right. Will you save Brandon first or his assistants? They are an equal distance from us. "

Before Liam could move from his spot, he was challenged by another trainer who sent out a Psyduck. Liam battled using Heracles.
