Apologize?!
These words echoed in their ears.
Though not as provocative as being told to "call me master," it still made Zacian's canine body tremble.
As the mighty Sword King who had lived for over three thousand years.
It didn't even know how to write those two words.
Let alone actually do it.
Not to mention that Sun Wuming's demands included "bowing one's head."
Gulp~
Sonia, Marie, and even Zamazenta couldn't help but nervously swallow.
All afraid that Zacian might swing its sacred sword in a fit of rage.
Uh... probably not likely though.
After all, the dog's body currently had steel plates attached to it.
After about two minutes of deathly silence.
Zacian lowered its head - something it hadn't done in 3,000 years - and its clear feminine voice resonated in the ears of the three present.
[...I admit my voice was a bit loud earlier]
Zamazenta stared in canine disbelief.
To be honest, it had prepared itself for its sister's fury.
But who could have expected.
Big sis, it, it, it actually bowed its head?!
"Hmph~ At least you know right from wrong. I was actually wondering what method I should use to deal with you if you kept being stubborn like a dead duck."
Sun Wuming said while rubbing his chin.
Zamazenta made a Husky-like meme expression.
This human sure holds grudges...
"I accept your apology, but there's one thing I need to make clear upfront,"
Sun Wuming said while eyeing Zacian:
"During our journey, you'll have to listen to everything I say, don't throw any princess tantrums, understood?"
"Please, I'm begging you, can you tone it down a bit?"
Sonia tugged at Sun Wuming's arm, swaying back and forth.
It was bad enough that he was so rude to normal people, but to take this attitude with Legendaries too.
Sonia was so anxious she was almost crying.
Mainly because in the worldview of ordinary girls like Sonia and Marie.
Legendary Pokémon were untouchable beings.
So in their eyes, Sun Wuming's terrible attitude towards them was unimaginable.
But Sun Wuming was completely different.
He wasn't a native of this Pokémon world, hadn't grown up in an environment steeped in reverence for divine beings.
Combined with his own powerful strength, in Sun Wuming's eyes, Legendaries were just "Pokémon" slightly stronger than regular ones.
That's all.
Never mind Zacian, even if Arceus stood before him now.
He wouldn't show a hint of servility.
[If your actions do not violate justice, I shall not interfere]
Zacian responded via telepathy.
Among the friendly legendary beasts, Zacian's personality was known for its strong sense of justice.
If Reshiram the white dragon and Zekrom the black dragon's actions were completely guided by following heroes of truth and ideals, with flexible moral boundaries.
Then Zacian was like a stinking rock in an outhouse, both foul and unyielding.
Once its principles were touched, it wouldn't budge even if you destroyed it.
"My heart and actions are as clear as a bright mirror, all I do is just"?
Hearing Zacian's response, Sun Wuming unconsciously recalled these words.
"Relax, I don't think I'm a good person, but I have no intention of doing evil, besides, even if I wanted to do evil, you couldn't stop me anyway, right?"
Sun Wuming shrugged as he replied.
Zacian trembled again with anger at Sun Wuming's words.
Before it could respond, Zacian saw a red and white Poké Ball being thrown at it.
Bang~ Bang~
Two Poké Balls hit Zacian and Zamazenta on their foreheads respectively.
The balls bounced lightly, opened their lids, and released a deep red light that absorbed them inside.
After the two Poké Balls hit the ground, Zamazenta's made a "dong" sound, showing successful capture instantly.
While Zacian's wobbled "buzz buzz buzz" several times.
Finally, it reluctantly made a "dong" sound and stopped moving, finally settling down.
"Phew, that scared me to death."
Sonia lowered her hands from her chest and shot Sun Wuming a fierce glare.
"Do you know how worried I was that Zacian would get angry and fight you again?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I'll protect you all."
Sun Wuming said as he picked up the two Poké Balls.
Sonia's heart beat a little faster as she quietly turned her reddening face to the side.
This guy, always saying such blush-inducing things without warning.
"Can I come with you?"
The expressionless girl Marie suddenly spoke up.
Sun Wuming turned to look at Marie, seeing the girl's face still showed no expression, but her jade-colored eyes revealed a hint of longing as she said:
"I feel like I can become stronger when I'm with you."
Just as Sun Wuming was about to answer, Sonia suddenly interjected from the other side:
"I, I want to come too!"
Sun Wuming turned to look at the other side, where Sonia had averted her gaze, speaking bashfully:
"Helping legendary heroes find their sacred relics is a rare opportunity for a researcher, and, and you seem to have no travel experience, so I, I guess I'll help you out..."
"..."
After a brief silence, Sun Wuming looked down through the translucent ball covers at Zacian and Zamazenta in their Poké Balls:
"Feels like you two are useless now, should I just release you?"
Zacian: "..."
Zamazenta: "..."
At this moment, the Sword and Shield kings fully believed.
This human really had no interest in them.
