Roa City was the largest city in the Fittoa Region. Its walls rose seven to eight meters high, encircling the entire city in a protective ring.
Carriages bustled to and fro near the gates, a lively display of the Asura Kingdom’s proud, flourishing trade economy.
Not even the early spring nights could quiet the activity.
The city lights shone bright after sundown, lending Roa a vibrant, animated charm.
But in the very heart of the city, there was one place where the l...

The rain was finally easing.
A pale light crept over the horizon.
Along the forest road, the puddles left by the downpour were slowly seeping back into the soil.
But the bloodstains smeared across the earth—vivid, crimson, undeniable—pressed down heavily on both Rudeus and Sylphy’s hearts.
Allen had been gone the whole night.
That single pursuit had stretched until dawn.
In the shattered remains of the carriage Allen had cleaved apart, Sylphy crouched...

Allen looked at Ghislaine standing just a few steps away and broke into an easy, contented smile.
In an instant, all the killing intent and rage he’d been carrying from that relentless pursuit vanished without a trace.
This had nothing to do with his Boreas bloodline acting up.
It was simply that standing before him was a real, genuine Sword King of the Sword God Style.
Finally, he wouldn’t have to keep learning swordsmanship from Paul—...

Deep within the forest.
The air hung thick with darkness. Time felt suspended, as though the concept of minutes or hours had ceased to exist.
Two silhouettes faced each other across the curtain of rain.
Were it not for the palpable killing intent slicing through the rainfall like invisible blades—and the fact that they stood far too close for any “safe” conversation—the scene might even have been called… peaceful.
Gard’s voice cut through the downp...

Within the rain, Allen lifted a hand to the side of his neck, smearing the blood before pressing down over the wound.
Rainwater mixed with blood slipped steadily between his fingers.
A moment before this, he had already activated a healing spell. Intermediate Healing Magic was enough to immediately mend the clean slash—but even so, a bit of blood had still seeped into his windpipe, filling his throat with the metallic tang of rust.
Covering the wound wasn’t just reflex...

Known as the "Gateway to Unova," Driftveil City thrived on its bustling maritime trade. Walking along the busy streets, Gary couldn't help his curiosity about Clay, the city’s Gym Leader.
“So, what kind of person is this Clay anyway?”
From what he'd gathered online, the Gym Leader known as Driftveil’s “underground boss” received mixed reviews. Trainers who’d challenged his Gym were polarized in their opinions.

Nimbasa City, Nimbasa Gym.
August had just witnessed a heated argument between a father and daughter about whether she should become a Pokémon Trainer.
Bianca’s father believed being a Trainer was too dangerous and was urging her to give up the idea and return home.
Bianca, however, was determined to pursue her dream.
Just as the argument reached a stalemate, August spoke up: “Actually, becoming a Trainer isn’t really that dangerous.”
“You are?” Bian...

Nimbasa City.
August had no idea N and Team Rocket’s trio were planning to cause trouble for Professor Oak.
Not that he’d worry even if he knew—given the strength of Oak’s Dragonite, N wouldn’t stand a chance without Zekrom.
At the moment, August’s group was touring Nimbasa Gym under Elesa’s guidance.

He turned apologetically toward Elesa. "Sorry for the trouble!"
"Oh, it’s no trouble at all…" Elesa gazed curiously at Mew, eyes sparkling. "Could I take a photo with Mew? This is my first time seeing a living one!"

[Elias, I’ve already arrived at the stadium. Hurry up!]
Just before the opening ceremony, Elias received a text from Gary.
Clearly worried Elias wouldn’t show, Gary even attached a few provocative stickers at the end of his message.

“Garde~”
Hearing her name, Gardevoir waved gracefully, politely greeting everyone.
“Oh, you mean Gardevoir? She's shiny-colored—isn't she beautiful?” Elias smiled gently, rubbing Gardevoir’s head affectionately as he introduced her.
At this, Professor Oak’s eyes brightened approvingly.
Lucario, whom he'd glimpsed through yesterday’s video call, had already impressed him. He’d thought Lucario was Elias’s most exceptional Pokémon—yet now, he encoun...

After Elias’s brief explanation, Cynthia eyed him skeptically from head to toe.
Rather than Elias, she'd sooner believe Professor Oak himself was the rookie trainer.

That attack is seriously powerful.
Satoshi’s gaze hardened slightly, recognizing the danger.
Luckily, Gigaton Hammer couldn’t be used consecutively.
But Satoshi had no idea how long its cooldown was—this wasn't the game, after all, so he couldn’t just count turns to predict its timing.

The mansion of Daiichi Ruby was exceedingly grand—so grand, in fact, that it barely paled in comparison even to Mejiro Manor.

However, perhaps because she had lived at Mejiro Manor before, Gotham Song didn't feel particularly uncomfortable amid such grand architecture.
