Pokemon Special Sword and Shield Chapter 6 Summary Thread
https://twitter.com/strawhatcrt/status/1252432701593759749Going back to a summary format for this chapter instead of bullet points.
Shield notices the statue and makes a comparison that they look similar to the ones they saw back then. A voice tells the group when Marvin asks Magnolia for details that she doesn't know because it's outside her specialty and that they will tell her.
The group is surprised the statue is talking. Soudo and Shirudo are interested and ask to learn. They don't learn anything because they hear barking from the statue, causing them to get confused. Sonia reveals herself from the statue is introduced as Magnolia's granddaughter.
She refers to herself as a newbie researcher (well. specifically an egg as in new) and helps here and there. Magnolia kinda smirks and corrects it to "very rarely" though.
Sonia explains that long ago, a black vortex appeared in the sky of Galar, and that people called it the Black Night because Pokemon grew super huge and lost control and went rampant.
Then, a person appeared wielding a sword and shield and it was said that he calmed everything down. And the statue was made in honor of that person.
Magnolia thinks that Dynamaxing is similar to the story. Soudo suggests they should get going and they'll get information easier.
Soudo asks Sonia to tag along and she asks her Grandma if it's cool to. There's a little blurb next to her speech saying yay, she's lucky. Magnolia tells Soudo to be careful.
The passage forward is blocked, and they run into Hop, Bede, and Marnie.
Shield in a loud voice says they're gym challengers. Marnie covers her ears and Bede says so are they. Hop gives them a hug basically saying nice to meet ya, we're rivals, let's get along, etc.
