Chapter 183: It's Great That This World Has Pokémon

"Go."

Mamen cast a deep glance at the vague, massive black form hidden behind the waterfall and said to Groudon.

That is definitely Dark Lugia, without a doubt.

Mamen could almost be certain, though he did not know why a normal Lugia would 'invert' into Dark Lugia.

However, there was no doubt that this Dark Lugia's strength was extremely powerful!

Merely the dark aura radiating out was already so terrifying; thus, one could see how formidable its combat power would be.

Just as Lugia Mother said, a hundred years ago, the dark aura of this Lugia, which was slowly 'transforming' at the time, had already surpassed Yveltal and could rival Hu Pa when released.

Then the current Dark Lugia's strength must be at least at the level of a Top-tier Legendary.

Groudon and Lugia Mother left this great waterfall space; as the strange aura departed, those dark auras that seemed to have life gradually 'retracted' back behind the waterfall.

That pair of terrifying scarlet eyes slowly closed; silence returned here once more, with only the rushing waterfall flowing endlessly.

They returned to the sea surface.

"The situation seems more severe than imagined. Lugia, does your clan have other Lugia?"

Mamen looked at the boundless sea surface, thought for a moment, and asked Lugia Mother.

Lugia have a clan; this was already a clear fact, but Mamen did not know exactly how many Lugia were in the Lugia clan.

Moreover, at present, the situation of Dark Lugia was obviously already very dire.

From the scene just now, the self-awareness of this Dark Lugia was probably already on the verge of disappearing.

"Our clan members are few. To use your human place names, our clan leader is currently in the seas of the Orange Islands."

Lugia Mother replied to Mamen.

Is that the Lugia called the 'God of the Sea' from the movie?

Hearing this, Mamen thought for a moment; if so, the Lugia clan actually only has four in total, and that includes the count of Little Lugia.

But that makes sense; although Lugia's combat power cannot compare to those Top-tier Legendaries, they are also Pokémon favored by the world, standing at the world's peak.

Naturally, their numbers cannot be too high.

Moreover, this number is already much better than the Rayquaza clan; Rayquaza has only three in total. Of course, strictly speaking, Rayquaza is actually the most absurd.

"Have you told your clan leader about your mate's situation?"

"No... I don't know how to explain it to the clan leader."

Lugia Mother shook her head, troubled. How could she say it? She herself did not even understand what had happened to Lugia.

"I think you still need to talk to your clan leader, and it would be best to ask her to come take a look; perhaps your clan leader knows what situation Lugia is in."

"Moreover, I think you had better reinforce the seal on Lugia."

Mamen was somewhat speechless; in such a serious situation, Lugia Mother had not even reported it to the Lugia clan leader...

Being able to serve as clan leader also indicates that Lugia should have more experience; perhaps she knows what has happened to Dark Lugia.

If not for considering Lugia Mother's emotions, Mamen actually really wanted to say that Lugia Mother's behavior was truly a bit stupid.

"I understand." Lugia Mother was still very obedient to advice.

"Additionally, you had better guard that seal. If that Lugia completely loses reason and assaults the seal, contact me immediately."

Mamen pondered for a moment and spoke to Lugia Mother.

Dark Lugia's condition was very dire; Mamen seriously suspected that Dark Lugia would not 'settle down' for long, as the dark aura on its body was simply too exaggerated.

Once its mind is completely swallowed by darkness, Dark Lugia will surely break through the seal and appear in the world.

At that time, the entire Kanto region would suffer; with Dark Lugia's strength, unless that old monster intervenes, no one can stop Dark Lugia.

"I know this point too; I have actually been considering whether to contact Mew and Ho-Oh."

Lugia Mother had naturally thought of this point as well.

But to be honest, Lugia Mother still had no confidence in this.

"Contact me then as well; I will come to lend you a hand."

Mamen nodded; whether Mew and Ho-Oh could stop Dark Lugia, he held a skeptical attitude toward this.

After all, Ho-Oh is not good at offense, and as for Mew... Mew's combat power is truly a mystery; the only thing currently known is that its strength is definitely superior to Mewtwo, at least on the same level as a normal Lugia and Ho-Oh.

But that Mewtwo from the movie was, after all, only newly born and awakened not long ago; being stronger than Mewtwo is not particularly impressive combat achievement.

And Dark Lugia's combat power is guaranteed to be Top-tier Legendary; moreover, with such dense malice, its attributes are probably also 'inverted'; it surely possesses the Dark type.

"Good! Thank you, Mamen."

Lugia Mother was very grateful; this human... although sensing her past, her nature was not very pure, but upon contact, she still made Lugia Mother like him.

Because he was truly willing to help!!

Groudon's strength is very powerful; if her mate really loses control, having Groudon's assistance counts as an added guarantee.

But actually...

"Mamen... if we really have to fight then, I suggest you have that little dragon call its father over."

Groudon's telepathy quietly connected to Mamen alone and said in his heart.

And the little dragon Groudon referred to was Little Rayquaza?

"What's wrong? No confidence in yourself?" Hearing this, Mamen couldn't help but smile.

Good heavens, he hadn't expected Groudon to actively propose bringing Black Rayquaza to 'save the day'.

"How could that be! I am Groudon who defeated Rayquaza!" Groudon was very proud.

No confidence? Impossible! The combination of her and Mamen is invincible under heaven!

"But I don't know how to describe it, Mamen. That Lugia is too bizarre; the malice on its body makes even me feel a bit terrified. If it loses control then and we cannot subdue it in a short time, this land might suffer."

Groudon's telepathy was very Solemn.

Except when facing Rayquaza and when unable to fly, Groudon is very rational at other times.

This land is Mamon's birthplace, isn't it? Groudon cares about it somewhat.

"I was summoned by Hoopa before. Hoopa's strength is very great, but I feel this Lugia's malice is probably stronger than Hoopa's."

A hundred years ago, while Groudon was sleeping, it was once forcibly pulled out by Liberated Hoopa using the Space Ring to fight.

So Groudon truly experienced the power of Liberated Hoopa firsthand, although the time of experience was short before Liberated Hoopa knocked it back into the ring.

Liberated Hoopa's combat power is absolutely top-tier legendary, and with a Space Ring that is like a bug, it makes it feel like a fish in water in battle.

But simply judging by that terrifying dark aura, that Lugia is even heavier than Liberated Hoopa! This is very unreasonable.

"I understand." Mamon pondered thoughtfully.

Returning to Whirl Island with Lugia Mother, they found Little Lugia happily swimming back and forth along the shore behind that mechanical duck, while Caitlin watched Little Lugia with an auntie's smile.

Meanwhile, Lyra and Ethan were looking at that tiny silver feather in a subtle way, probably struggling with whether this small feather can really suffice.

May and Yuko were on a video call; the person on the other end of the video was probably their sisters.

"Mamon, you're back."

Seeing Mamon return, Caitlin immediately rushed forward, revealing a faint smile.

"Mm, the situation is a bit complicated; I'll tell you later."

Mamon looked at Lugia Mother.

"Lugia, it's like this, there is one more thing."

Mamon called May's sisters over and introduced the two to Lugia.

"?" Lugia Mother tilted her head in confusion.

"They two come from Ecruteak City; their ancestors were the miko responsible for serving Lugia and Ho-Oh several hundred years ago."

Hearing this, Lugia Mother immediately understood, silently looking at May and Yuko.

That's right, Lugia Mother is the Lugia that resided in the Bell Tower back then.

One hundred and fifty years ago, because it was thoroughly disappointed with the people of Ecruteak City, it returned to the sea area of Whirl Island.

And now seeing the descendants of the miko who devoutly served it back then, Lugia Mother's mood at this moment must be somewhat complex.

"Lugia my lord, hello."

May and Yuko immediately bowed to Lugia Mother to greet her.

"Regarding the matter of the Bell Tower back then, our ancestors have always wanted to apologize to you and Ho-Oh my lord; we hope you can forgive us."

May's eyes turned red; she bowed deeply to Lugia again, her tone extremely sincere.

"We have always preserved the ruins of the Bell Tower, just to admonish ourselves; we deeply reflect, and we hope you can forgive our actions back then."

Looking at the sincere May sisters, Lugia Mother sighed deeply.

"Sigh..."

Precisely because they held expectations, so the bone-piercing disappointment occurred.

Lugia and Ho-Oh are the same; they have always been dedicated to hoping for the appearance of invisible trust between humans and Pokémon.

However, whether in Ecruteak City or on Whirl Island, humans always made Lugia disappointed again and again.

But even so, when humans encountered shipwrecks and danger, Lugia never stood by idly, but instead gave aid.

What a kind and gentle Pokémon this is.

"I have never blamed you, always so."

Lugia Mother's gentle telepathy entered the ears of May's sisters.

"Just at that time... perhaps the timing was ultimately not yet right."

Remembering that night, Lugia Mother sighed lightly again.

It and Ho-Oh resided in Ecruteak City for several hundred years; they actually could always see.

"Get up; if you truly have the heart, then continue to work hard. The future of Pokémon and humans equally needs you humans to create yourselves."

Lugia Mother gently lifted May and Yuko up with psychic power; the gentle words made both girls in kimonos wet their eyes involuntarily.

What kind of feeling is this?

May didn't know how to describe it, but it was just a kind of inexplicable profound emotion.

For over a hundred years, their clan finally waited for Lugia to say this sentence.

"Lugia my lord, please believe us; we will always carry forward your will."

May held back her tears tightly and made a promise to Lugia Mother firmly.

Lugia Mother said nothing, just nodded at May with eyes full of gratification; she could feel that everything this girl said was the truth.

Watching the 'reconciliation' between May's sisters and Lugia Mother, Mamon was also somewhat touched for a moment.

No matter how you say it, it is really good that this world has creatures like Pokémon.

Regarding Pokémon, Mamon has always held goodwill; this is one of his bottom lines.

"Mamon."

"I'm here, what's wrong, Lugia?"

Mamon looked at Lugia Mother; at this moment, her eyes seemed to be struggling and hesitating.

"I..." Lugia Mother looked down at Little Lugia chasing the mechanical duck, but thinking of Dark Lugia, she still made up her mind.

Next, she must guard the seal of Dark Lugia, and she also must find the Lugia Clan Leader; there is really no other way.

"I want to ask you to take care of this child for me for a while."
