Chapter 154: Little Lugia Appears!

Brock stood to the side, wistfully watching Ash and Xiaoxia interact.

He knew Ash had given Xiaoxia a gift; watching the two interact, he wore an auntly smile—both had feelings, just lacking a confession.

They were practically a sure thing, but what about him? He's been eating a lot of dog food here, feeling stuffed!

【Fúlālā: Black Satoshi is too skilled, learning to make crafts from others and immediately making them to give to Black Xiaoxia, and he made the Celebi that Xiaoxia likes to hug, being thoughtful and attentive.】

【Lily: When Black Satoshi took Xiaoxia to the perfume shop to buy perfume, he was very patient, letting Xiaoxia try each bottle one by one, and he also bought some to bring home for his family.】

【Xiaomao: See? Learn more, don't always be so straightforward.】

【Ash: Hmm, I know, I was negligent before, I won't be again.】

Now Ash is watching the Black Light Screen, wanting to learn frame by frame; whether in battle or in how he gets along with others, he must be better than before.

So he should study more to avoid taking some irreparable detours.

Black World—

After chatting for a while, Ash went back to make some crafts, making one for each friend.

Brock's Geodude and Onix, while Xiaomao's are Squirtle and Moon Eevee.

"What about Professor Dà mù? What should we give him?"

Ash thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up—he figured out what to give Professor Dà mù.

Shortly after, Ash crafted a sludge-shaped craft.

As Professor Dà mù watched the Black Light Screen, seeing this, his mouth twitched—he actually sent sludge!

It's just that the sludge was too sticky for him, and then Black Satoshi thought he also liked sludge.

Additionally, Ash made a magic wall figurine craft for his mother Huāzi, plus a craft of the flowers planted in the front yard.

Later, he made a flute for Fúlālā, the same flute she had played at that time.

【Fúlālā: Huh? Do I get a share too?】

【Xiǎoyōu: Of course there is; you, who haven't seen the Black Light Screen, are like Black Satoshi expressing your feelings, and Black Satoshi also accepts—isn't it normal for you two to exchange gifts?

I know you also still have Ash in your heart; perhaps you can learn from the Black Light Screen's self, you can go to Pallet Town to play when you have time, and besides, you also know Ash's mother.】

【Huāzi: Right, Fúlālā, welcome to our Pallet Town; since you're all Ash's friends, don't be so polite!】

【Fúlālā: I....... fine, thanks for the trouble!】

Black World—

Ash and his group arrived at Rush Island, preparing to see if that Lugia was inhabiting here.

Let's see how it differs from that Poké Ball in the Orange Islands!

Walking along the shore, Ash keenly sensed the faint energy undulations emanating from the silver feathers suffusing the surrounding air.

Focusing his spirit to sense the source of this energy, Ash was quite certain that Lugia was nearby.

Using the energy of the silver feathers to connect with his own aura, he began searching for Lugia's traces. After a search, they finally found a Lugia's silhouette.

When this Lugia appeared before them, Ash and his group felt somewhat surprised. This Lugia's size was obviously much smaller than they had imagined, only reaching Ash's waist height.

Wasn't it supposed to be a huge Poké Ball?

Is this also called huge?

Little Lugia wasn't shy, tilting its head curiously, using its big, bright and adorable eyes to size up Ash and his group, especially Ash.

"Kwoo-woo-oh!"

Little Lugia let out a clear cry, seemingly sensing a familiar and friendly aura coming from Ash, very similar to its own.

"Little Lugia!"

Xiaoxia couldn't help but step forward and pat this cute little creature's head, her eyes full of affection.

"Little Lugia, are you here by yourself?"

Ash asked softly, the legend of Lugia surfacing in his mind, guessing that this Little Lugia might have been left on the island by its mother.

"And its mother?"

"Want something to eat?"

Ash took out an Energy Block to feed Little Lugia.

Little Lugia's eyes lit up at the sight of the Energy Block; it hadn't tasted this delicious food before, so it happily began to eat.

Watching Little Lugia eat with relish, Ash and his group also released their own Poké Ball to keep it company and play.

【Āhóng: Black Satoshi first encountered Little Lugia, where's Xiūyī?

That's fine too; Little Lugia staying beside Black Satoshi shouldn't attract Team Rocket's attention, and even if it did, it wouldn't be captured—its safety is assured.】

【Wǔzàng: Hey hey hey, what do you mean 'even if targeted you won't be caught'? Are you saying we're weak?】

【Xiaomao: Only now you notice?】

【Xiǎocìlang: Just as annoying as that little brat!】

On Black Satoshi's side, the situation unfolded: first the Team Rocket Trio came to snatch Pikachu and Little Lugia, but they failed.

But before Pikachu could teach them a lesson, the submarine carrying Yǎmǎduō and Xiǎosānláng surfaced from the sea.

Without a word, they unleashed their Poké Ball and all attacked Ash and his group.

The moves of Yǎmǎduō and Xiǎosānláng's Poké Ball were very strong, one or two times stronger than those of ordinary Poké Ball.

"When did Yǎmǎduō and Xiǎosānláng's Poké Ball become this strong!"

Xiǎocìlang muttered, quickly hid to watch the show, waiting for them to both lose so he could swoop in and reap the benefits.
