Sonia and Marnie supported Sun Wuming on either side as they made their way back to the Magnolia Research Institute in Stow-on-Side.
Zacian and Zamazenta, who had also lost their ability to move, were left in the care of the bear apprentice.
Both dogs weighed over 440 pounds each, which the bear apprentice could barely manage to move at his current level.
However, due to the huge size difference, it was impossible for the bear apprentice to carry the legendary dogs on his back or lift them up.
So the bear apprentice grabbed their tails and placed them on his shoulders, then dragged the siblings Zacian and Zamazenta along like a worker hauling steel beams.
Zacian: "..." Zamazenta: "..."
The two dogs felt their dignity as legendary beings had been insulted. But there was no helping it - who told them they couldn't move right now?
As for Marnie's Morpeko and Sonia's Yamper, They didn't have the strength to pull dogs weighing over 440 pounds either. This was the only option left.
... ...
At the Magnolia Research Institute.
"Hey! That hurts! Could you be a bit gentler?" Sun Wuming lay in bed, crying out in pain.
"Shut up! Be quiet!" Sonia rolled her eyes at him as she wrapped him up like a mummy in bandages. She then turned to examine the injuries of the two mud-covered dogs that the bear apprentice had dragged back.
"Could you stop staring at me like that?" The mummified Sun Wuming couldn't help but speak up.
By the bedside, Marnie, whose features were as perfect and delicate as an expensive doll displayed in the most luxurious showcase, was resting her chin in her hands and staring intently at him.
"Name." Marnie suddenly spoke.
Sun Wuming: "Hm?"
"You haven't told me your name yet." Marnie's pink lips parted again.
Sun Wuming looked over this seemingly emotionless young girl for a moment before saying: "Sun Wuming, a Saiyan from Earth."
Marnie blinked twice and nodded somewhat uncertainly before formally introducing herself: "I'm 'Marnie,' from Spikemuth."
The atmosphere became a bit awkward. Getting the expressionless girl to initiate conversation seemed difficult.
Sun Wuming had to take the initiative: "You're quite brave for a young girl, daring to come close after seeing that kind of battle."
Wouldn't any normal person want to run away after seeing such a terrifying battle? Just like regular citizens in Ultraman. When a monster appears, shouldn't you run away instead of staying to livestream with your phone? That's crazy!
"This isn't the first time I've seen you." Marnie said expressionlessly: "Two and a half months ago in Ballonlea, you suddenly flew up into the air." "When I saw you again this time, I wanted to take a look."
Two and a half months ago? Ballonlea? Hearing Marnie's words, Sun Wuming thought back for a moment.
Oh right, that was the day when Lillie had just started training and was completely exhausted. Lillie had come back too late, so he had used the Sky Dance technique to look for her. To think this girl had seen that.

While Sun Wuming was reminiscing, He suddenly felt something cold against his cheek. Looking to the side, he saw that Marnie had stood up and was pressing a Poké Ball against his face.
"What are you doing?" Sun Wuming raised an eyebrow.
"I want to see if I can catch you." Marnie tilted her head, unconsciously releasing what could be called "gap moe" charm. If his hands weren't immobilized right now, Sun Wuming indicated he would definitely pinch this girl's cheeks until they were swollen.
"...You think I'm a Pokémon?" Sun Wuming could guess what this girl was thinking. She probably thought he was a Pokémon disguised as a human. But it was understandable, after all, anyone would think that after seeing the previous battle. Plus, there were quite a few Pokémon that could transform into humans. In the original story, Latias and Mew had both performed this trick. Even Ditto could do it. Some perverts would be overjoyed.
"You beat those two Pokémon too severely, I can't treat them." At this point, Sonia walked back into the room and said: "We'll have to send them to the Pokémon Center for surgery."
Sun Wuming thought for a moment and said: "Could we have Joy come here to perform the surgery? If these two dogs show up at the Pokémon Center, it might cause unnecessary commotion."
After their battle, Sun Wuming was completely certain these two dogs were the legendary Pokémon of the Galar region. What would happen if legendary Pokémon appeared in public didn't need to be spelled out. Although Sun Wuming himself wasn't afraid of trouble, he wanted to avoid unnecessary complications.
Sonia, thinking along the same lines as Sun Wuming, nodded and quickly headed to the Pokémon Center after tidying up.
... ...
Several hours later, the two dogs, who had metal plates inserted due to multiple crushed bones throughout their bodies, Were lying in the same room as Sun Wuming, who was also wrapped up like a mummy.
"Why did you put these two legendary dogs in my room?" Sun Wuming asked with obvious displeasure.
"We had no choice, yours is the master bedroom, the other rooms are too small to fit them." Sonia replied while covering the two sleeping dogs with blankets.
[Zacian...] Just then, a cool female voice echoed in the ears of Sun Wuming, Sonia, and Marnie. Looking over, they saw that Zacian, lying on the temporary bed nearby, had opened her eyes at some point and was staring intently at Sun Wuming.
[I am Zacian]
[Uh... I'm Zamazenta.] On the other side, Zamazenta also groaned weakly. Though they didn't know exactly what he meant, they felt Sun Wuming's term "legendary dogs" had a hint of mockery in it. So they decided to properly introduce themselves.
