Chapter 317: Old Li, You're a Classic Case of "Loneliness"!
The vast galaxy stretched across the sky, unmarred by clouds.
As Kira Kyi returned to slumber and the Millennium Comet gradually receded, the night sky seemed to quieten once more.
Jinghe and his companions sat on the grass, feeling the softness beneath them and gazing up at the dazzling starry sky.
"Woof!"
Was Kira Kyi asleep?
Ice Nine-Tails, lying on Jinghe's lap, asked in a hushed voice, as if afraid that speaking too loudly might wake Kira Kyi.
Jinghe smiled slightly, gently stroking Ice Nine-Tails' soft fur, and nodded, "Yes, asleep."
"Really?"
Would it have sweet dreams? Gramps asked with a hint of melancholy.
Although it had only been seven days, they had all formed a wonderful friendship with Kira Kyi.
During this time, they had gotten along well and had a lot of fun together.
"Yes," Jinghe affirmed, "Because I made a wish to the wish-granting Pokemon, Kira Kyi."
"In Kira Kyi's dream, perhaps it will play happily with me, with you, with Da Wu, and with the others."
"That's wonderful," Du Juan said, wiping the corners of her eyes and revealing a smile. She took a deep breath and continued, "Overall, Kira Kyi had a fulfilling time, and we also had a wonderful journey."
"Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future," Da Wu added with a smile on his face.
Although he didn't know why, he had a strong intuition about it.
"Maybe," Jinghe whispered, sharing the same intuition.
As they spoke, Jinghe reached into his pocket and took out the emerald fragment that had fallen from the sky when Kira Kyi was asleep.
About the size of a thumb, it faintly displayed unique patterns that flickered in and out of visibility.
What was this thing? It had fallen during Kira Kyi's slumber, so it was highly likely that it was related to Kira Kyi or brought about by its power.
However, Kira Kyi's wish-granting ability operated on the principle of "equivalent exchange," and things couldn't appear out of thin air. It was likely that this object had teleported from somewhere else.
Hum—
Suddenly, an idea struck Jinghe.
He took out two feathers from his inner pocket: the shimmering "Rainbow Feather" and the "Silver Feather" with its swirling milky white aura.
No, you two, why are you getting excited again?
The last time you got excited, Kira Kyi woke up. It's as if these two feathers have their own "self-awareness."
Especially the "Rainbow Feather," which now seems to actively seek wave power.
Wait a minute.
Wave power?
Jinghe pursed his lips and glanced at the emerald fragment in his hand.
Would Kira Kyi do this to him?
At this thought, Jinghe took a slight breath.
Wave power!
A light blue wave of energy, like a stream, flowed from Jinghe's hand into the emerald fragment.
The next moment—
Hum—
To Jinghe's astonishment, the emerald fragment emitted a blinding light, and the swirling patterns within it became increasingly clear.
It was a symbol, somewhat resembling a triangle—
Wait!
A triangle, Delta?!
The blinding light seemed visible only to Jinghe, as Da Wu and the others nearby showed no reaction.
However, Ice Nine-Tails, Gramps, and Hachubo beside Jinghe seemed to sense something.
Especially Hachubo, who raised its head to look at the emerald fragment in Jinghe's hand, its eyes filled with confusion.
At the same time, a milky white glow, like an air current, rippled within the blue orb on Hachubo's neck.
Meanwhile, as the blinding green light intensified, Jinghe's vision began to shift and change.
He seemed to have arrived in an endless sky, surrounded by swirling clouds.
Amidst the clouds, a green, dragon-like serpentine figure with red and yellow patterns, sharp claws, and four horns, moved swiftly, its body enveloped in a milky white air current.
As Jinghe recognized the figure, his eyes widened in shock.
What the hell, is that Mega Caterpie?!
No, it's Sky Dragon—
Lekongzuo! Jinghe suddenly realized.
The night before, while playing cards, he had been complaining about his bad luck, muttering about the "Lekongzuo" card. Kira Kyi must have overheard him.
Wow! Could the little guy have thought he genuinely wanted to see Lekongzuo?
Was this the ability of the wish-granting Pokemon, the mythical Kira Kyi? That's a bit exaggerated.
No, it must be because of that emerald stone.
A word suddenly popped into Jinghe's mind—Emerald Orb!
It was common knowledge that to awaken and command the legendary ultra-ancient Pokemon Kyogre and Groudon, one needed the corresponding ruby-red orb and indigo-blue orb.
However, few knew that the legendary Sky Dragon Lekongzuo also had a corresponding orb, the Emerald Orb.
It could also be called the Jade Orb.
So, if Kira Kyi couldn't bring Lekongzuo, it brought a fragment of the Emerald Orb instead?
Well, this time, he really got to see "Lekongzuo."
Jinghe could almost see Kira Kyi's expression, as if saying, "Look at me, Jinghe! I'm so awesome!"
"Roar!!!"
As Jinghe stood in awe, Lekongzuo, soaring through the clouds, finally seemed to notice Jinghe's "presence." It roared, its body undulating and stirring up layers of cloud waves.
The next moment—
A gust of wind blew from Lekongzuo's body, instantly dispersing the surrounding clouds and air currents.
Airlock!
【Airlock: Pokemon with this Ability nullifies the effects of any weather conditions while it is in play.】
In an instant, Lekongzuo flipped and appeared before Jinghe.
A crimson gaze, devoid of emotion, fixed upon Jinghe.
For Jinghe, the most vivid impression of Lekongzuo was undoubtedly the scene from the movie "Aura Hyper Deity, Hoopa," where a black Super Lekongzuo arrogantly faced seven opponents.
It was also one of the reasons for the running joke that Kyogre couldn't fly.
Secondly, there was the scene in the movie "Sky Visitor, Deoxys," where Deoxys gave it a thorough beating.
As for the special episode where it was captured, let's just forget about that.
But at this moment, as this legendary being appeared before him, Jinghe instantly felt an intense sense of oppression.
【Human.】
A voice echoed in Jinghe's mind.
It could communicate?
【Why art thou here, and who art thou?】
At that moment, Jinghe felt his vision clearing up slightly. He realized that he was standing atop a tall and massive structure that resembled both a building and a pillar.
He managed a smile.
"I don't know either. Do you believe me?"
【Hmph!】
Lekongzuo let out a soft snort.
Contrary to Jinghe's expectations, it didn't exude a fierce or violent aura; instead, it seemed rather languid.
As a Pokemon psychology teacher, Jinghe instinctively sensed that Lekongzuo...
...had just eaten and was about to take a nap? Had the Millennium Comet disappeared, or had it ended up in its stomach?
Lekongzuo dwells in the ozone layer, roaming beyond the Pokemon Planet, feeding on meteorites.
However, its manner of speech reminded Jinghe of another Pokemon—Kyurem! It seems these ancient legendary dragons enjoy speaking in such a manner.
【How audacious!】
Lekongzuo's voice suddenly boomed, reverberating deafeningly in Jinghe's mind.
Why the roar?
Even if you are Lekongzuo,
At this moment, you are merely communicating through the Emerald Orb, and you dare to come down and bother me? If you do, I'll run to Kanto or Sinnoh.
See if you dare!
【You are not the Heir, yet you dare tread upon the Sky Pillar. You shall be held accountable for your actions.】
Lekongzuo twisted its body in midair, and a light cyan glow enveloped it.
Jinghe took a deep breath and demanded,
"Lekongzuo, do you feel lonely?"
Otherwise, why would the Sky Dragon care so much about its bond with the "Heir"?
What dictates that it must value this bond? In the special episode, even after the Heir, Shi Jiana, had been gone for nearly a decade, Lekongzuo was still attracted to the remnants of her aura on Sound Waveon, rushing towards it without regard for the battle.
This was because Shi Jiana was the "Heir" recognized by Lekongzuo, considered a "companion."
And it was this "companion" that Lekongzuo "craved."
Old Lekongzuo, you have a typical case of "loneliness syndrome"!
Upon hearing this, Lekongzuo paused briefly before bursting into laughter.
【How bold!】
It had lived alone for millions of years, eating and sleeping, occasionally gazing down upon the Pokemon world, and when bored, venturing into space to find meteorites for a snack.
Its only source of excitement was probably the occasional beatdown it gave to those two troublemakers every once in a while.
Wasn't this a fulfilling life? Where was the loneliness?
What is loneliness?
"If I say that I might be able to help you find another Lekongzuo, what would you say?" Jinghe suddenly asked.
Lekongzuo's movements halted.
It blinked.
Another Lekongzuo? Jinghe recalled that one of the Six Heroes, the Pokemon of the ancient adventurer Lucian, was a black Lekongzuo, sealed within an Ancient Poke Ball.
Lekongzuo turned its head and coldly snorted.
【I, I need not your feeble human assistance.】
Suddenly, Jinghe felt the surroundings blur, and the misty clouds around Lekongzuo's body reappeared, slowly concealing it once more.
【Your power is too weak. If you wish to meet me, come to the Sky Pillar, pass the trial, and we shall speak further.】
Lekongzuo's voice gradually became ethereal.
Buzz—
The scene before Jinghe's eyes dissipated like a dream, and his vision returned to the campsite.
Looking at the dimming green fragment in his hand, he felt as if his Wave Power had been drained.
"Hengga?"
Gramps approached Jinghe and waved his hand in front of him.
What are you daydreaming about, seeing ghosts?
Jinghe glanced at Gramps and huffed,
"It's not just seeing ghosts; it's even more absurd than that."
"Hengga?"
Gramps scratched his head, perplexed.
There's something even scarier than ghosts?
"Hachubo!"
Jinghe called out and tossed the green fragment to it.
"Hooroo?"
Hachubo blinked in confusion.
What is this? Jinghe shook his head, "Take a look, see if you can digest it."
Pass the trial at the Sky Pillar?
If that's the case, I might not even be able to run away when the time comes.
My Hachubo is also a Dragon-type and will become a Dragon/Flying-type after evolution, so maybe it can take care of this thing.
Crunch!
"Hooroo~~(︿)"
Hachubo wrapped its mouth around the green fragment and pulled it out.
It couldn't digest it, and it was stuck in its teeth.
Jinghe: ".”
