Chapter 235

"What a jealous little one."

Su Yu recalled Milotic.

This trip could be said to have been full of gains!

Not only had he completely resolved the Lugia crisis.

But he had also obtained a baby Lugia!

And he had acquired two items: the Mystery Water and the Silver Wing.

It could be said the harvest was enormous.

Therefore, Su Yu headed back in a joyful mood.

This time, he did not ride on Suicune again.

Instead, he piloted his own small boat, slowly returning to the villa.

By now, the time was approaching afternoon.

When Su Yu returned, Ye Ye Lingzhi and Qin Qin Qin Mengwu were already sitting in the living room watching television.

The two, leisurely and relaxed, had no idea that a massive crisis might have just occurred.

Upon seeing Su Yu, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu immediately asked.

"Su Yu, why were you out for so long today?"

Su Yu closed the door.

Just as he was preparing to explain.

Lugia, who had been staying inside Su Yu's Poké Ball since earlier, immediately flew out from it.

"Wa!"

After coming out, Lugia began flying around Su Yu.

Her appearance caused Ye Ye Lingzhi and Qin Qin Qin Mengwu to freeze in shock.

"Is this... Lugia!?"

Qin Qin Qin Mengwu looked at the baby Lugia.

She rubbed her eyes again in disbelief.

As if she thought she had seen wrong.

However, when she opened her eyes again.

The baby Lugia was still flying vivaciously beside Su Yu.

"That's right, this is Lugia. She's just still quite small."

Su Yu said while stroking Lugia.

"Hiss..." Qin Qin Qin Mengwu was instantly stunned.

"You went out this morning and managed to bring back a Lugia?"

"Then next time, are you going to bring back a Rayquaza?"

Hearing this, Su Yu smiled and said.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just happened to encounter this Lugia."

Su Yu told the two about what had happened that morning.

After listening, Ye Ye Lingzhi patted her chest with some lingering fear.

"The baby Lugia almost met with disaster! If something really had happened, who knows what terrifying events would have unfolded."

"In its grief, Lugia might have done something horrific."

Speaking to this point, Ye Ye Lingzhi suddenly felt.

Compared to Su Yu obtaining Lugia.

His resolution of the Lugia crisis was far more important.

Meanwhile, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, standing aside, looked at the baby Lugia with eyes full of curiosity.

Previously, she had only heard of Lugia's reputation.

This was the first time she could observe Lugia from such close range.

So she slowly leaned closer.

Unfortunately, the baby Lugia seemed completely unimpressed by Qin Qin Qin Mengwu's beauty.

Seeing Qin Qin Qin Mengwu approach.

She hugged Su Yu, hiding behind him, and displayed a wary expression.

It seemed she was afraid Qin Qin Qin Mengwu would get close to Su Yu.

"This little one is quite jealous. I wonder who she learned that from."

Su Yu said while patting Lugia's head.

"It's true. As soon as I get close, she acts as if she's afraid I'll steal you away. Do I look like that kind of person?"

Qin Qin Qin Mengwu said with puffed cheeks in anger.

After the baby Lugia had stayed by Su Yu's side for a while.

She seemed to become attracted by the things around her.

So she left Su Yu's embrace and began flying around inside the villa.

Looking entirely like a curious baby.

At this, the three of them, Su Yu included, could only let her be.

After all, the baby Lugia was quite well-behaved.

It won't destroy anything; there's no harm in just taking a look.

Little Lugia spent the entire afternoon filled with curiosity.

As for Su Yu and the other two, they remained on holiday.

They had successfully resolved the crisis mentioned in the letter.

Su Yu also gave himself a proper break.

He continued his vacation lifestyle.

...... 0

However, when the second day arrived,

Su Yu chose to head to a nearby secret realm.

He planned to level up Little Lugia first.

Otherwise, she was truly too weak at present.

As the economic hub, Magic City naturally had no shortage of secret realms in its vicinity.

Su Yu casually picked a secret realm suitable for Little Lugia

and headed straight there.

Upon reaching the target secret realm,

Su Yu looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Not only was Magic City itself economically developed,

but the industries surrounding its secret realms were also more complete than elsewhere.

Every kind of facility was available, and they were exceedingly luxurious.

Everything from secret realm bodyguards to businesses renting out Pokémon for adventures was readily available.

Of course, correspondingly, the prices soared dramatically.

Compared to other places, Magic City's secret realms were several times more expensive.

Most of those who came to this secret realm were people whose Pokémon were around level thirty.

If it were the Su Yu of the past, he might have needed such things.

But now, he had no need whatsoever to seek other means to protect his life.

Thus, Su Yu stepped directly into the secret realm.

Arriving at an open clearing, Su Yu immediately released his Salamence.

A secret realm of this level no longer warranted any worry from him.

"Salamence!"

As soon as Salamence appeared, it let out a roar.

Many wild Pokémon in the vicinity, upon sensing the overwhelming aura of the Salamence,

scattered in all directions to flee.

185: Little Lugia's First Battle!

Meanwhile, many tourists exploring the secret realm, upon seeing Su Yu's Salamence, were instantly stunned.

"Which scion of a great family is this? To dare venture into this secret realm?"

"Hiss... A Salamence, and such a high-leveled one at that! Who exactly is this?"

"What a powerful Pokémon; my own Pokémon is trembling just at the sight of that Salamence!"

"He looks so young! How can someone so young possess such a terrifying Salamence?"

The people around immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.

Su Yu, however, paid no heed to their chatter.

He directly mounted the back of the Salamence.

"Let's find a place with fewer people,"

Su Yu said.

The Salamence nodded in response.

Then, it flapped its blood-red wings,

soaring straight up into the sky.

The Spearow and Fearow nearby, upon seeing the Salamence,

lost all courage to challenge it. "Two-Forty"

Thus, they all swiftly avoided Su Yu's flight path.

Consequently, Su Yu's flight this time proceeded very smoothly,

without any other Pokémon causing disturbances.

After flying for some time, Su Yu found a secluded, ideal spot.

He commanded the Salamence to descend there.

Then, he took out a Poké Ball.

"Lugia, it's time to come out."

With a flash of light, Little Lugia appeared instantly.

Su Yu then recalled the Salamence.

With the Salamence present here,

other Pokémon would likely be scared away, making it impossible to find suitable opponents to level up Lugia.

Once everything was set, Su Yu took Lugia and began their level-grinding journey.

Having walked only a few steps, Su Yu encountered the first Pokémon.

It was a Pokémon entirely yellow in color, with a large mouth growing from its back.

【Name: Mawile (Steel, Fairy)】

【Gender: ♂】

【Level: Lv. 1 (Gym)】

【Ability: Hyper Cutter (Possessing claws it takes pride in for their strength, its Attack cannot be lowered by opponents.)】

【Potential: Gym】

【IVs: HP (24), Attack (31), Sp. Atk (22), Defense (31), Sp. Def (25), Speed (20)】

【Moves: Bite, Stockpile, Swallow, Spit... Iron Head, Taunt, Fake Tears, Play Rough】

【Description: It lulls opponents into complacency with its docile appearance, then snaps them up with the jaws on its back. Once it bites, it never lets go.】

Judging by appearance alone, Mawile actually looks quite cute and petite.

However, forming a stark contrast to its appearance

was the gaping maw on its back.

A single careless move could result in being swallowed whole by it.

Su Yu, accompanied by Lugia, quickly approached this Mawile.

Although its level was that of a Gym-tier Pokémon,

more than ten levels higher than Lugia,

this level difference posed no problem whatsoever for Lugia.

Therefore, Su Yu was extremely confident.

"Lugia, use Air Slash."

Su Yu commanded directly.

At this moment, Little Lugia also became serious,

shedding its previous laziness.

During battle, it was quite sensible.

Lugia immediately spread its wings, which resembled hands,

waving them rapidly to unleash wave after wave of air blades.

Meanwhile, the Mawile, sensing the attacks coming from its surroundings,

quickly became alert.

It opened its massive mouth, instantly firing a beam of white light,

which was none other than Flash Cannon.

"Boom!"

The cannon beam of light struck the Air Cutter.

A massive explosion erupted.

The surrounding trees were blown into a sway.

"Lugia, use Psychic!"

"Wow!"

A purple psychic glow ignited on Lugia's body.

Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to ripple.

Then, a wave surged straight toward Mawile.

"Hum!"

Ripples spread as an invisible attack instantly struck Mawile.

Sending him flying directly away.

Mawile let out a cry of pain, then quickly scrambled up from the ground.

Stung by the pain, Mawile fixed a hostile gaze upon Lugia.

Then, with a ferocious expression, he shed his kind and cute demeanor.

Mawile strode forward, charging at Lugia.

At the same time, his gaping maw opened wide, filled with dark, evil energy.

Mawile lunged directly at Lugia to bite.

"Lugia, use Psychic Shock!"

Lugia's Psychic-type energy activated once more.

Before her, a purple wave of energy, seemingly solid, instantly appeared.

Facing the charging Mawile,

Lugia struck directly at him.

"Bang!"

Mawile, only halfway through his run, was hit squarely by the Psychic Shock.

His wide mouth was slammed shut by the blow.

Under the force of this Psychic Shock, Mawile was sent flying backward...

"Lugia, now! Use Air Slash!"
