So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 190 Reunion with Lugia

Chapter 190 Reunion with Lugia

Who is it that dares to attempt to harm my friend on the high seas?

As the ocean trembled, the clouds in the sky broke apart, the ocean currents around the archipelago ceased, the whirlpools dissipated, and the ocean revealed its true face. In the dark ocean canyon, light burst forth, stinging everyone's eyes.

The inhabitants around the archipelago saw the sky and earth change color, and fear arose spontaneously. Unable to control themselves, they rushed to the shore, bowed down, and knelt in repentance.

"O revered gods of monsoons and ocean currents, please cease your troubles; we are willing to offer our tribute."

I pray for forgiveness from the monsoon and ocean currents.

As if to announce its arrival, turbulence rose in the sky, causing even the Meteor People, whose genes had aerial combat etched into their very being, to tremble and sway precariously.

In the light, a colossal beast spread its enormous wings and roared. Its exquisite eyes, like those forged from jewels, slowly opened, casting a majestic shadow on the ocean as it surveyed the world.

Fire Goose, terrified, clung to Wei Xin's pants, trembling. Higana stared blankly at the colossal beast that had parted the ocean and appeared in the world, her teeth chattering slightly, her voice hoarse and surprised: "The god of monsoons and ocean currents—the legendary Pokémon, Lugia!"

As the object landed in Lugia's palm, Wei Xin patted his chest with immense relief, calming his heart, which was pounding in his throat with fear. If Lugia had been a moment later, he wouldn't know how he would have ended up in the mess. He then smiled and said, "Madam, it's been a long time."

He recognized the woman before him as the mother of the little Lugia from before, who was also the chief of the Lugia clan.

Lugia smiled at him. A mere month wasn't a long time. She then tossed Wei Xin onto her back, looked up at the wary Higana suspended in mid-air, her gaze sharp. [Final warning, descendant of the meteor, depart now.]

However, Higanbana stared intently at the legendary Pokémon before her, cold sweat swirling in the wind as she gasped for breath. Finally, she made up her mind. She would eventually have to face the Dragon God. Before that, she might as well test her skills with Lugia and see if she had the strength to conquer a legendary Pokémon.

Then, a sense of crisis pierced her mind, not from the giant beast in front of her, but from the ocean beneath her feet. Higana looked down and saw silver heads emerging from the sea—one, two, three, and finally a whole group of Lugia. Except for one Lugia that hadn't noticed the falling spaceship above it and was smashed into the sea, when it resurfaced with a bump the size of a small hill on its head, all the Lugia looked up, their burning gazes seeming to pierce her skin.

"You little brat, throwing things from a high place, don't you have any public decency?" Xijiana's breath hitched. After taking a difficult breath, she felt her body start to burn, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and fear made her vision blurry, making it difficult to see the scenery in front of her. She slid straight off the back of the Noisy Dragon.

Lugia reached out and caught Higana, sighed, and looked on with the helplessness of an elder.

"No, your mentality isn't right either." Wei Xin was stunned. "With this level of mental fortitude, how dare you face Rayquaza head-on?"

Unaware that the wild goose in his arms had also fainted from fright and was foaming at the mouth.

Wei Xin's rating is 8.6 because Huo Yan died a bit.

"Could you help me retrieve that little girl and my spaceship?" Wei Xin pointed to the island not far away. "Just leave them there. I have something to tell you."

Lugia nodded, let out a long howl, and led countless silver heads toward the island shrouded in the vortex not far away.

Seeing the sea gods arriving in droves, the villagers on the shore were terrified. Were they coming to demand justice? The village chief hurriedly directed the villagers to prepare offerings such as fish, food, and fruit, which were piled up on the beach.

After placing Higanbana and Flame Goose on the beach, while waiting for Lugia to retrieve the spaceship, Wei Xin removed their Poké Balls and performed an emergency check on the two of them.

"Fortunately, she just fainted due to shock and excessive stress. But Huoyan—"

Wei Xin tore open Huo Yan's clothes and found bruises on her abdomen and lacerations on her thighs that extended down to below her knees. Her team uniform was dark red from the blood seeping in.

Wei Xin clicked his tongue slightly. Even though he's injured like this, he still wants to hit me? Thunderbolt, you bastard.

There were also two girls' clothes that needed to be changed for various reasons, but Wei Xin hadn't brought any women's clothing.

Fortunately, on the island, the villagers dressed in coarse clothes saw Lugia land and came with fruit bowls, bowing and kneeling in worship along with Wei Xin.

"Your Excellency, we are unsure how we can assist you."

They clearly regarded Wei Xin as a legendary figure.

Why does this island look so primitive? Just think of the whirlpools that surround the archipelago year-round and the inconvenient transportation, and all the problems are solved.

Wei Xin pointed to Huo Yan and Xi Jiana on the ground: "Help them change into a suitable set of clothes, and give her some emergency treatment while you're at it. Then bring them to see me. Be careful, they... they have bad tempers and might suddenly attack and hurt people."

"Understood." The village chief nodded respectfully and instructed the villagers to take the two away. At the same time, he wanted to keep two young girls from the village to serve Wei Xin. Wei Xin glanced at them. The girls on the island were dressed very scantily and boldly. After feasting his eyes, he chose to refuse. Now was not the time to be busy with these things.

He had to ask Lugia to go and save the Hoenn region; he couldn't let down the champions who were carrying the burden in Hoenn.

Wei Xin walked to the shore, stared at the spaceship that had been completely broken into two pieces and was beyond repair, and sighed. Fortunately, the Alliance had anticipated the possibility of crashing from the beginning and told him that there would be no need for compensation even if it crashed, otherwise Wei Xin would really be back to square one.

"Madam, could you do me a favor?" Wei Xin beckoned Lugia to his side and pointed to the cargo hold of the spaceship. "Could you please open the hatch?"

Lugia nodded, opened her mouth, and bit the hatch. The sturdy alloy door was torn in half as easily as paper in front of her, revealing nearly a hundred boxes of energy cubes.

"These are gifts I brought. One box should be more than enough for each person. Please distribute them to your tribesmen."

When people from Donghuang do business, they first treat everyone to a meal, then have some drinks. Everyone is really in a good mood, and when they're not so clear-headed, they start discussing business.

Lugia looked puzzled, but still chose to believe Wei Xin. She bit the box, poured the contents of the box into her mouth, and chewed it.

An indescribable taste spread across the tip of his tongue, filling his entire mouth. It was like a primitive man accustomed to eating raw meat and drinking blood suddenly encountering modern food with strong ingredients. The stimulation went straight to his head. Lugia let out a long howl, and the expression on his face gradually melted. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly called his people over to share the food.

Wei Xin released Rotom, who recorded Lugia eating, and was quite satisfied.

Lugia said it was good after eating it, so now we have promotional photos for the Energy Cube.

Soon, shouts and cries echoed from the shore.

The villagers were terrified, thinking they had angered the sea god by neglecting their hospitality. They hurriedly led a large number of fruit bowls to the beach, only to find a large group of Lugia happily sprawled on the sand, their faces showing rapture. The offerings on the beach remained untouched, leaving them puzzled.

What's going on? Is the Sea God having a party here?

A hundred boxes of Energy Cubes could feed Snorlax to the point of bursting, but they wouldn't fill the stomachs of the entire Lugia population; at best, they would only be some extremely delicious snacks.

A little Lugia pulled its head out of the cargo hold, licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, turned its head, saw Wei Xin, spread its wings, and like a clumsy bald eagle landing on the ground, wobbled over to Wei Xin, lowered its head, and affectionately nuzzled him.

"It's you!"

Wei Xin recognized it at a glance; it was the Lugia he had personally hatched in the Eastern Sea. It was now more than twice its original size, but compared to the other Lugia in the clan, it was only the size of a child in his teens.

Lugia stretched her neck, let out an "ah," and pointed to her mouth.

They still want it.

Personality too.

"Sorry, I was in a rush this time and only brought this much with me."

Wei Xin shrugged, and then a huge shadow appeared beneath his feet. He looked up and saw Chief Lugia, who raised his wing and tapped Little Lugia on the head, making a fool of himself.

Little Lucia covered her head and hummed twice; she was still a child.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill (just kidding), and Wei Xin had given them a good time, the Lugia didn't need to go to a karaoke bar to sing. It was time to get down to business.

"Lugia, Hoenn is in trouble, I need your help!" Wei Xin said succinctly.

Lugia looked towards Hoenn in the distance. The monsoon brought a chaotic mix of news, fear, lamentation, and struggle. After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head.

Ocean currents should not interfere in the struggle between land and sea.
