Chapter 653: Lugia and Giant Dragonite
Even vast expanses of ocean water cannot stop the giant beast from appearing.
The first thing to break the surface of the water was the huge conical horn.
It looks cute with its pointy shape on Dragonite's head, but on Behemoth's head it has a threatening feeling that can easily pierce through most things.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of tentacles comparable to cables stretched out, followed by the head, wings and half of the body.
That huge body, and the indelible sadness on his face.
It was the giant Dragonite that had not been seen for a long time.
The waves stirred up by the huge Dragonite as it floated up almost caused a light rain to fall in the surrounding area.
But the sea did not calm down just because the giant Dragonite stopped floating.
The sea water became restless again, and a melodious cry like a whale came from the sea, and a huge waterspout broke through the sea surface.
As its pure white wings spread out, the waterspout instantly turned into water droplets filling the sky. Under the sunlight, it set off Lugia's pure white and sacred posture that seemed to never be corroded by filth.
"long time no see."
Although he lamented that Lugia had to make such a big scene every time he appeared, Luo Mu did not forget to say hello to Lugia and the giant Dragonite.
"Ouch~"
The huge Dragonite raised its right arm in response, but forgot that with its size, even a breeze created by a wave of its hand would be a gale for Luo Mu.
Luo Mu was almost blown off the Moltres' back.
Fortunately, the solid Moltres stood still in the strong wind, so nothing happened.
Realizing that he had done something wrong, the huge Dragonite immediately lowered his head in guilt.
It was Luo Mu who comforted it and told it that everything was fine, and it stopped feeling lost.
On the other side, Lugia, whose size is much smaller than that of the giant Dragonite but whose presence cannot be ignored, also set his eyes on Luo Mu.
When he saw that he was riding Moltres instead of Dragonite, there was a flash of surprise in Lugia's eyes.
It thought that Luo Mu would also come riding on Dragonite this time.
In that case, I can also check out Dragonite's training progress.
Even if he cannot master his own unique moves for the time being, his ability to control airflow should be greatly improved.
After all, at that time, I had stuffed a lot of my insights into Dragonite's brain through fighting.
Noticing Lugia's puzzled look, Luo Mu smiled, as if he had guessed what it was thinking, and explained, "As for Dragonite, I let it stay at home and rest."
After all, it is impossible to take Dragonite with you every time you go out. It also needs rest, and you have to take other Pokémon on the farm out to play occasionally.
Although it was a bit regrettable, Lugia and the giant Dragonite were both extremely long-lived beings, so there wasn't much of a reaction.
Even if we don't meet this time, we can always meet next time.
They have plenty of time.
A brief greeting. No, to be precise, there is no such concept for Pokémon.
Those who can communicate telepathically will greet each other, and those who can't will just howl and rub their heads against each other as a greeting.
In short, whether you are facing an ordinary Pokémon or Lugia, a legendary Pokémon, there is no need to go through the red tape. Just say hello and get straight to the point.
"As agreed, I'm here to take the giant Dragonite to find its companions." After letting Moltres lower its flying altitude, Luo Mu spoke.
"Ouch?"
The giant Dragonite's eyes suddenly lit up.
Originally, it was still worried whether Luo Mu still remembered the agreement between them, and was thinking about whether it should try to remind him.
I didn't expect him to speak directly to the point!
The giant Dragonite was eager to set off, but Lugia used gentle telekinesis to restrain its actions, and then said through telepathy: "Wait a moment, I also want to communicate with him about something."
After Lugia said this, he remembered what he had learned during the time he followed it. The giant Dragonite blinked and stopped moving obediently.
Indeed, this matter is also very important.
After calming down the giant Dragonite, Lugia flapped his wings and came to Luo Mu and Moltres, and said straight to the point: "I forgot to tell you why I am active in the sea area nearby. Can you listen to it now?"
"Oh, of course."
Luo Mu nodded, with curiosity in his eyes.
In his impression, Lugia should be the kind of homebody who likes to stay in one place without moving. He wanted to ask the reason why the other party had been actively moving around in these sea areas last time, but he accidentally forgot.
Since Lugia wanted to speak, Luo Mu would naturally listen attentively.
Lugia sorted out his words and slowly said, "I wonder if you have heard of the legend of the sea beneath us, the sea creator who created all the seas on this planet."
"The Creator of the Sea?"
Luo Mu's eyebrows twitched. He didn't expect to hear such a title from Lugia.
The so-called Creator of the Sea, as Lugia just described, is the legendary spirit that created this sea or is the incarnation of the sea itself.
In the Hoenn region, it is also a super ancient elf famous in myths and legends. Wherever it passes, torrential rain falls and the sea floods the earth.
Seeing that Luo Mu understood everything, Lugia was silent for a few seconds and then slowly spoke, "In short, the other party's peaceful sleeping aura fluctuated a while ago, and it is now so weak that I can't even sense it."
"It is precisely for the purpose of investigating this situation that I will move to the nearby sea area."
Originally, Lugia didn't have to care about what happened to Kyogre.
But not long ago, there were some problems with the ocean currents it manages. If there is anything abnormal with the incarnation of the sea, things may develop in an uncontrollable direction.
This is why Lugia lingers around even though he knows that approaching the opponent's territory rashly will easily cause conflict.
"Just like I have my own kind, there are multiple Kyogres in the world, but I am sure that the problem is with the oldest one."
"You humans have more ways to obtain intelligence than I do. Do you have any clues about this matter?"
Lugia stared at Luo Mu with a serious expression.
Judging from Luo Mu's strength, the other party must hold a high position in the human world. Based on the number of these creatures spread across every area of the planet, there might be intelligence that it cannot obtain.
Luo Mu was speechless when Lugia suddenly asked him this.
What should he say?
Kyogre was captured by us humans, although the person who captured it was a bad guy among humans.
Oh, and they also want to control Kyogre and make the ocean cover the entire planet!
Luo Mu felt that as long as he said this, Lugia's favorability towards most humans would fall to the bottom again.
But he couldn't say that he didn't know. After all, it was around this time that the conflict between Kyogre and Groudon would almost happen.
Is it necessary to hide it?
Luo Mu felt that it was unnecessary, so he organized his words and directly explained what the Water Fleet and the Lava Team wanted to do.
".Ha." After a long silence, Lugia sneered coldly with an ambiguous meaning, as if mocking him.
Sure enough, no matter how many years have passed, there will still be greedy people among humans who attempt to control the legendary power.
The information that Luo Mu told him was so consistent with Lugia's definition of certain humans that it didn't even seem surprising.
The ocean covers the planet? The land expands to cover the entire planet?
Ridiculous!
Not to mention the ancient will of the two super ancient Pokémon, Kyogre and Groudon, it is impossible for them to be controlled by the will of ordinary humans using items created by humans.
Even if we take a step back and say that they acknowledged the ideals of the two ambitious men and really began to expand the land and ocean.
If you don't leave Hoenn, this behavior will be stopped.
Even though some of their individual members may be relatively incompetent, it is impossible to control the will of the two of them, even if they have the same goal.
Those ambitious people took the wrong path from the very beginning.
After learning some more details from Luo Mu, Lugia took the initiative to ask to leave without Luo Mu asking.
"Let's go. After all, Dragonite has been following me for a while. Before I go into hibernation, I still want to witness the moment when it achieves its wish."
Lugia flapped its wings, completely giving up the idea of exploring further into the Hoenn region.
Even if those two big guys started fighting again, it had nothing to do with Lugia.
When the impact becomes big enough, naturally there will be people responsible for this task to collect them.
Since Lugia said so, Luo Mu happily led the way in front.
In short, as long as he and Lugia don't get involved, the probability of the original plot changing is extremely small, and it won't be a big problem.
After helping the giant Dragonite find a companion, the situation in the Hoenn region should be quiet. I can go back to soak in the hot springs for a few days, and then return to the Padia region to welcome the start of the Orange Academy.
Heading towards the Kanto Sea, one man and three Pokémon set out on their journey.
On the way, Luo Mu also expressed a question that he had always had and asked Lugia for his opinion.
While maintaining a constant speed of flight, Lugia, who had heard such an interesting thing, raised his eyebrows and looked at Moltres with interest.
"Oh? You mean, there is a sacred fire in its body?"
Even with the help of the Iron-masked Ninja, whose speed was increasing day by day, it still took Nimo nearly ten minutes to walk from the inside of the forest on the not-so-big island to the edge.
"It's okay, I don't blame you."
Although he still had a cold face, Shinji did not say anything bad to the Iron-faced Ninja. Instead, he spoke out to comfort it.
Compared to the him in another world, Shinji now pays more attention to the emotions of Pokémon themselves under Luo Mu's intentional guidance, and no longer has the idea of capturing and releasing Pokémon at will and selecting the best ones.
He knew very well that even if the Iron-faced Ninja found Neemo as quickly as possible, with Neemo's weak physical strength, it would be a blessing for her to come back within a dozen minutes.
Iron Ninja is not a Pokémon that can be ridden or carried to fly, so there is no need to blame yourself if you have a burden.
Hearing Shinji's comfort, the lost Iron-masked Ninja instantly became happy.
Shizuka on the side also briefly explained to Nemo the analysis she had just made while waiting with Shinji.
"Oh? Does that mean the submarine of the water fleet just appeared over there?!"
"So what we have to do next is to call them over and hand them over to Miss Junsha for arrest?"
Nemo's focus and train of thought are obviously different from those of ordinary people. Her remarks should have been explosive enough, but Shizuka and Shinji have long been accustomed to it.
Shizuka could only quickly correct her dangerous thoughts, "That could be one of the mobile bases of the water fleet. I don't know how many members of the water fleet are inside. With such a huge disparity in numbers, we must not act rashly!"
Without a champion, who would dare to rush into the base of the evil organization alone and fight against the invincible?
Wait, Nimo really seems to be! ?
Shizuka's eyes widened, but Shinji filled in the gap in her thinking very well.
"Besides, the submarine has already submerged itself in the sea. You can't find them even if you want to."
Shinji expressionlessly revealed the cruel reality to the eager Nemo.
The fact is, among the three of them, there is not a single water-type Pokémon that can move freely in the sea.
——Shizuka’s Swamplord is also an aquatic Pokémon that is used to living in freshwater areas, but even if Swamplord can adapt to the seawater environment in a short period of time with the help of Pokémon’s physique, it cannot lead three people.
It's not Laplace.
As for the empty road, the same thing applies: there is not enough suitable Pokémon among the three people.
For one thing, Shizuka's Armorbird's back is too smooth, and its size can only carry two people at most, one of whom has to be a small child.
As for Nemo's sniper tree owl, not to mention Nemo, who is an idiot in sports, Shizuka and Shinji don't have the arm strength to keep holding its legs.
That's why they came to the island by renting a boat instead of being self-reliant.
Under these circumstances, how can we talk about catching up with the submarines of the water fleet?
"We also wanted to call the police immediately to inform Miss Junsha, but after the submarine left, we found that there was no signal nearby. It is very likely that it was interfered by the submarine of the water fleet."
When speaking, Shizuka's expression was somewhat helpless.
Now her and Shinji's cell phones are out of the circle and have no signal. She knows at a glance that the water fleet is planning to do something, so they blocked the surrounding signals just in case.
The three people are now almost trapped on this island.
They could either wait for the ship to pick them up in three days, or find a way out of this predicament themselves.
Nimo is clearly the latter.
She was not stumped by the problem at hand, but instead came up with a completely new idea.
"Then we can just ask for help from wild Pokémon!"
Since the submarine was no longer there, she simply trotted back to the campsite to retrieve her backpack, from which she pulled out a small square box.
"Teacher Luo Mu said in class that when you encounter difficulties in the wild due to environmental factors and you really have no other options, you can try to seek help from wild Pokémon using food or other items!"
"If we ask for help from wild water Pokémon, won't we have a way to leave the island?"
Nemo's words made Shinji and Shizuka fall silent.
Indeed, Nimo is a hot-blooded fighting idiot.
But because of her sincere character, she listens carefully and remembers every lesson taught by the people she admires.
What Luo Mu always shared with them was his own personal experience in traveling, which had been effective in many unexpected times.
After a moment, Shinji, who always preferred to play it safe, nodded first, "We can seek help from wild Pokémon, but the sea at night is still too dangerous. We will act tomorrow morning."
"If you still can't find any trace of the water fleet, return to Green Ridge City and call the police immediately."
