Chapter 1397

Lugia looked at Su Hao, who had withdrawn the Silver Wing and was questioning it, with a gradually chilling gaze.

It seemed this human knew something.

"Heh, it would have been fine if you had just returned the Silver Wing and left pretending to know nothing, you foolish human."

Lugia chuckled. The voice was still the original one, but the atmosphere was completely different.

Even though they were in a warm southern climate, Su Hao and the Hisuian Braviary felt a bone-deep chill for no reason.

A cold, dark airflow spread out around Lugia, and at the same time, murderous intent toward Su Hao and the Hisuian Braviary rose.

"As an act of mercy, let me answer your question before you leave, human."

Lugia held its head high, and the cold airflow around it turned into a pure black cyclone, blowing the plants on the small island until they rustled.

"My name is Lugia. Although I am unwilling to admit it, you may perceive me as the side of Lugia."

"Shadow is born attached to light, and light is also swallowed by shadow—this is me, Shadow Lugia."

As if a white painting were being stained with pitch-black colors, in the blink of an eye, Lugia's appearance changed along with the black whirlwind sweeping across the entire central island.

Its entire body transformed from pure white to a pitch-black like the night sky. Its abdomen and eyes turned silver-gray, and the eyes that should have been filled with majesty and holiness were covered in blood-red.

The data panel of Lugia in Su Hao's eyes changed drastically.

Pokémon: 【Shadow Lugia】

Type: 【Dark + Flying】

Gender: 【None】

Ability: 【Pressure】

Level: 【First-Class Legendary】

"Hey, doesn't this development feel a bit familiar—"

Su Hao suddenly remembered that when he went to the Spiral Secret Realm, he also ran into the final boss at the very beginning.

This is ridiculous. Although he saw that the Lugia before him was a fake, he didn't expect this guy to be the boss of *Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness*, Shadow Lugia!

After transforming into its true form, Shadow Lugia could no longer suppress the surging desire for destruction in its heart. A pitch-black wave spiraled and gathered before it—

"Since the answer has been revealed, then please go die."

A sense of pressure that made the air feel muddy filled the surrounding space. Su Hao and the Hisuian Braviary, who had subconsciously prepared to use a move, froze in place.

The Pressure ability, which is considered trash in the games, symbolized the supreme authority of a god in reality.

The Dark Pulse brewed by Shadow Lugia was filled with chilling murderous intent. Su Hao, unable to move, knew he had to reveal his trump card now.

"Reshi........."

Before the name could be fully uttered, the ice-blue tail feather in Su Hao's pocket bloomed with dazzling radiance at this moment.

"Ree!!!"

High in the sky, the ice-blue legendary bird, sensing the reaction of its own tail feather, flew over rapidly and spat out an extreme frost-cold current, turning into a solid wall of ice to block Shadow Lugia's Dark Pulse.

Su Hao's action of summoning Reshiram stalled. This voice, this aura, this ability is—

"Geez, your luck is still as bad as ever. How did you run into this psychopath as soon as you came in?"

The Hisuian Braviary's eyes widened. This voice is...

A familiar tone resonated in his mind. Su Hao's solemn expression stalled, turning into a look of pleasant surprise.

"Articuno!"

As if responding to Su Hao's call, Articuno, with its beautiful ice-blue tail feathers, descended from the sky accompanied by ice shards filling the air. It stood in front of Su Hao and chuckled: "It's me. In terms of your concept of time, it should have been a long time, right, Su Hao?"

"You guy who hides in the Ice Island, how dare you come to ruin my plans?"

Shadow Lugia's voice was tinged with anger. It was originally just dealing with a human and a little bird, but its casual Dark Pulse was actually blocked by this guy.

Shadow Lugia got a bit more serious this time, increasing the intensity of the Dark Pulse, instantly shattering the ice wall. The terrifying Dark Pulse roared over.

Articuno didn't move, instead saying teasingly: "Who said I was the only bird that came?"

"Ree!!!"

"Ree!!!"

In the sky, two high-pitched cries rang out. Shadow Lugia's expression instantly turned gloomy.

From above the clouds, galloping thunder and heavenly fire descended from the sky, forcing Shadow Lugia to intercept the attacks coming from the firmament.

The pitch-black Dark Pulse fought one against two. Shadow Lugia fully displayed the power of a first-class legendary beast. The terrifying aftermath blew away countless trees and vegetation on the central island.

Su Hao looked up at the firmament. A golden legendary bird with terrifying electric currents crackling around its body and an orange-red legendary bird with bright and intense flames burning on its feathers were engaged in an intense clash of waves with Shadow Lugia.

They were Zapdos and Moltres!

Taking advantage of Moltres and Zapdos holding Shadow Lugia back, Articuno signaled Su Hao to sit on its back and said: "No time to explain, come with me first."
