I find really funny the amount the people calling MC bad or pathetic when I am 100% sure all of them would be bent over on all fours crying like little bitches not knowing what to do.

Bro definetly jinxed himself

Oh god, I would’ve died laughing if Durkhai was a girl.

Great chapter as always

Lmao next time we see him itll be by fighting tobias

Picked up the story again after quite some time and holy sh*t!
Contrary to some people I actually think that the story needs some room to breathe.
Dust experienced so much ridiculous stuff in such a short amount of time that canon Ashs mind would be broken a dozen times if he were in a similar situation.
A good old training montage is needed because quite frankly after Crimson only his luck helped him.
A negative aspect imo is that battles against "easy" opponents feel way harder compared to life and death situations.
Tactics that worked against really strong opponents like Sabrina somehow became useless against regular opponents.
And no just because he was a little better prepared against Sabrina compared to later opponents it shouldn't render experiences both Dust and his Pokémon had useless.
Especially Luna at this point should never be taken off guard aside from dark types or Pokémon who are significantly stronger and faster than her imo.
Plus oftentimes i get the feeling that Dust gets thrown into life and death situations while others with stronger and more experienced Pokémon are nearby and do nothing.
That whole fight in the museum made no sense to me.
Sabrina should have more than 6 elire-level Pokémon on her and should've controlled the battle through her Pokémon and her powers alone.
Instead it went back to poor Dust fighting for his life.
And what's up with Ash?
Is he just there for comic relief?
Sure he isn't the brightest but he has tons of plotarmor and possibly the strongest electric type Pokémon that isn't a legendary in the world!
In this more realistic world he should also be smart enough to get his Pokémon from home send to him when sh*t goes down.
Aside from that it is still extremely entertaining and funny to read.

Definitely a grand arc this was, can't wait for what's next

Chapter 137

Good chapter!

Great chapter man

Dust seems to attract crazy ladies and it's great! (It's even more accurate if the omake is accurate)

I loved delta
all month waiting, finally, what happiness

NOOOOO DARKRAI COME BACK

GAAAAAH

sad that darkrai didn't join the team. and the omake though...

Shame about Darkrai...though we can always hope that in a few months (in-universe time, not "first update in march" real-life time) Darkrai has had enough adventure to consider themselves stronger and decide the best way forward is by the side of their friend, Dust.

Which I would be a fan of. Or a different Mythical. Maybe one that doesn't share a type with the team? Because I'm really starting to like this dynamic of a small team that each has very distinct personality and can communicate with Dust.

So looking at all the Mythicals (just browsing through the catalog, seeing if something catches my eye), if the type exclusivity is kept in mind, the first four from the three first generations are out because Luna is psychic. Then we have Manaphy and Shaymin (ignoring Phione) for possible water and grass/grass-flying, with Darkrai already skipped. Let's not bother pretending Arceus is even considered.

Victini would be wonderful for fire (and Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini would make a lovely Water/Grass/Fire trio) but psychic bars it if no type duplicates are allowed. Same for Keldeo since Fay's there for fighting type. Meloetta clashes with Luna and Fay, depending on which form.

Genesect has steel type so Fay again (and Genesect may look epic but I don't think they're up for much casual conversation, even less so than Darkrai).

Diancie and Hoopa are out, because of Luna's fairy type rather than her psychic type. So Volcanion is the first viable candidate since Shaymin...

No Magearna or Marshadow. But Zeraora is a genuine contender. They might look like they could be fighting-type, but they're pure electric. AND have that humanoid shape the team has going thus far.

Meltan/Melmetal is steel, so the future Lucario has a veto. and Zarude steps on Midna's teritory. And the final Mythical, Pecharunt, has to deal with Luna.

So if type uniquenes is the limiting factor (and we ignore Arceus), then we've got Manaphy, Shaymin, Volcanion and Zeraora. Personally, I think Zeraora is the coolest, least used, best typing-wise, and looks like they could have an interesting character.

And I realise I've just spent WAY too much time on this list.

Awesome! Now all that Dust needs is a scabbard, a belt for said scabbard, and he can make himself look like Future Trunks! Yes, genius idea, I know. Anyway, guess Alamos town was sort of a success, makes one wonder how things will progress beyong this point, and that not only includes Team Galactic as a whole, but Dust’s next move regarding Arceus and whatever that whole bag of worms entails. It would’ve been cool to see Darkrai join the crew, but having him as an ally is a great close second, wish befriending mythical pokemon wouldn’t result in literally the entire town dying and remembering every vivid detail of said death-but hey, beggars can’t be choosers. Overall, nice little chapter before heading out towards even more madness down the line, let’s hope our boy Dust and the crew have more time to relax.
