Julian threw out a Poké Ball, and Gallade appeared.

The moment he entered the field, Gallade sensed a powerful sword intent coming from the cliff.

He extended his elbow blades, his gaze burning as he looked at the figure above.

Iron Valiant leapt down and landed in front of Gallade.

Seeing Gallade’s growth, Iron Valiant nodded in satisfaction.

Iron Valiant raised the spinning long blade and pointed it at Gallade.

The tip of the blade lifted slightly, signalling for Gallade to attack.

Gallade was not polite either. He swung his elbow blades and rushed forward.

Iron Valiant swung its long blade, clashing with Gallade’s elbow blades.

Both sides’ swordsmanship was exquisitely refined, and by tacit agreement, neither used moves.

They relied purely on sword technique to spar.

The two exchanged dozens of rounds on the narrow mountain path.

Cynthia blinked in surprise.

"This is the first time I’ve seen a duel between Pokémon like this."

The long blade and elbow blades collided. Both sides leapt back and opened distance.

For the next stage of the duel, they would begin using moves.

Crystalline pink energy gathered around Iron Valiant’s long blade.

"Gallade, use Psycho Cut."

Gallade condensed a purple light blade.

During this period, his master had focused his training on Psycho Cut precisely for this duel against the powerful swordsman before him.

After using moves, Iron Valiant’s overwhelming strength fully revealed itself.

In their first exchange, it directly shattered the Psycho Cut attached to Gallade’s elbow blade.

Then it kicked Gallade flying back.

Iron Valiant beckoned, signalling for Gallade to attack again.

Gallade did not lose heart. He condensed Psycho Cut once more.

After being broken once, the Psycho Cut became even more solid.

A condensed purple light blade flew out. Gallade advanced rapidly, condensing a second Psycho Cut over his elbow blade.

Together with the first light blade, he slashed towards Iron Valiant.

Iron Valiant spun its long blade, forming a pink vortex of Spirit Break.

It blocked Gallade’s attack, then used the long blade to break through Gallade’s defence and slashed him across the chest.

Gallade flew backwards.

Julian hurriedly stepped forward and caught him.

Iron Valiant nodded at Gallade, then leapt up onto the cliff. Its feet continuously tapped along the steep rock face.

Soon, it pierced into the sea of clouds and disappeared from Gallade’s sight.

Gallade looked at Julian.

"Gallade! Gallade!"

Julian nodded heavily.

"I understand. I’ll bring you to the Great Crater of Paldea again to challenge it again!"

Although Iron Valiant had not spoken, Gallade, as a fellow swordsman, could understand its feelings.

Iron Valiant longed for a worthy opponent to challenge it.

Gallade longed to defeat a powerful sword master like Iron Valiant!

Gallade had originally thought that his growth in the crater during this period had already been enough.

But after facing Iron Valiant, Gallade felt his own flaws even more clearly.

Compared to Iron Valiant, his swordsmanship still had a great deal of room to improve.

When they returned next year, he would be the victor.

Miraidon shrank his head.

When Iron Valiant sparred with Gallade just now, it had used Spirit Break.

As a dragon, Miraidon deeply understood how much that move restrained him.

If it struck his body, it would probably not be as simple as flesh tearing open.

Cynthia looked at the sea of clouds.

"This Pokémon’s strength may not be much worse than the red giant lizard’s. The feeling they give me is that they’re both Fighting-type Pokémon."

"If you can come here and catch both of them, Julian, you’ll become a true Fighting-type Elite Four member. You might even take the Champion title one step ahead of me."

"Don’t you want to try?"

Cynthia smiled and raised an eyebrow.

Julian smiled and shook his head.

"I still need to train. But I can set it as a goal. When I come back next year, I must catch one of the two."

Cynthia gave him a thumbs-up.

"As expected of the future Fighting-type Elite Four. Such ambition!"

Julian turned his head and complimented her in return.

"Champion Cynthia, you flatter me."

Cynthia said he might become Champion before her.

But Julian knew very well that this trip to the Great Crater of Paldea had already made Cynthia’s Pokémon even stronger.

Especially the five aside from Garchomp!

It could be said that the current Cynthia no longer had any weaknesses.

The Champion of Sinnoh title was already within reach!

...

At dusk, the two started a fire and cooked in a sheltered valley.

A person wearing a white lab coat appeared before them, riding a Koraidon.

"Hello, both of you. I’m Professor Sada. Are you also here to study the Paradox Pokémon of the Great Crater of Paldea?"

Julian raised an eyebrow and looked at the female professor before him, who radiated a wild aura.

Was this the real person?

Cynthia was somewhat curious.

"Professor Sada, may I ask how much you know about these Pokémon?"

Professor Sada got down from Koraidon and took out an illustrated book, handing it to Cynthia.

"This contains Paradox Pokémon information I compiled from previous materials and my own research."

Cynthia opened it and saw that the ancient-looking Pokémon had very detailed data.

As for the steel-like Pokémon, there were only names and brief introductions.

Cynthia asked in confusion, "Professor Sada, why have you only researched part of them?"

Professor Sada smiled.

"My husband is responsible for researching the remaining part. Our interests complement each other perfectly, so at the bottom of the Great Crater of Paldea..."

"In other words, Area Zero, we established a research institute to study Paradox Pokémon. Since the two of you can even catch Miraidon, why not join our institute and research together?"

Julian, who had been silent the entire time, had already used Aura to investigate the Professor Sada before him.

Professor Sada was not the real Sada.

She was merely an artificial-intelligence robot carrying some of Professor Sada’s data.

Julian asked, "Professor Sada, may I ask where your husband is right now?"

Professor Sada paused.

"He should be at the research institute conducting research on future species. Or perhaps he’s riding Miraidon outside, conducting ecological surveys of future species."

Julian shook his head.

"I’m sorry, Professor. We aren’t from Paldea. Back in our home region, Sinnoh, there are still many things waiting for us to do."

Professor Sada wore a stiff smile.

"That’s alright. Whenever you’ve thought it through, you’re welcome to return at any time."

Julian finished cooking and invited Professor Sada to eat with them.

But Professor Sada stood up and climbed onto Koraidon.

"Sorry. I suddenly remembered there’s an experiment I need to conduct. I’ll be going first."

"By the way, you’re welcome to join us at any time."

After Professor Sada left, Cynthia immediately closed the illustrated book.

"Is there something wrong with Professor Sada?"

With her outstanding observation skills, Cynthia had long noticed that Professor Sada’s behaviour was somewhat stiff, as if she were being controlled by someone.

Julian shook his head and sighed.

"There’s nothing wrong with Professor Sada. The problem is that she isn’t Professor Sada. She’s only a robot."

Cynthia’s eyes widened.

"You’re saying that person just now, who answered everything so fluently, was only a robot?"

Julian nodded.

"That’s right. Just like your talent as a Trainer, some scientists are talented enough to research robots that are almost human."
