Chapter 483: Aim for Pokemon Master
Chapter 483: Aim for Pokemon Master
"That place seems to be an altar built by the ancient 'Waterfolk' to worship Lugia," Herona said, hugging her knees and sitting on the beach as she shared the information she had gathered.
"The Waterfolk worship Lugia?" Jinghe's voice carried a hint of confusion.
Undoubtedly, this altar must be related to Lugia; otherwise, it wouldn't have a slot that perfectly fits the Silver Feather of Lugia and even provides the coordinates of its location.
But isn't it a bit strange for the Waterfolk to build an altar for Lugia?
Lugia isn't the Sea God, but it is a deity closely associated with the ocean.
Lugia has the power to control ocean currents, and these currents, to some extent, pose an even greater threat to the entire Pokemon world than some giant volcanic eruptions.
In the story of Lycanroc's Birthplace, the altered ocean currents almost led to the extinction of all life in the Pokemon world.
So, if the Waterfolk worship Lugia, it makes sense.
"If we consider the 'Sea God' as the vast ocean itself, it becomes easier to understand," Herona said, resting her chin on her knee and slightly raising her eyebrows.
Consider the Sea God as the ocean itself? So, the Waterfolk don't worship a specific Sea God but all the divine beasts related to the sea? Or perhaps the Waterfolk's worship is not directed at a particular deity but the boundless ocean itself.
Jinghe felt like he had suddenly understood something profound.
"That makes sense."
"What about you? What did Wiseman show you?" Herona asked, tilting her head.
"This." Jinghe held up Rotom and gently shook it.
"Precise coordinates? But why are there two of them?"
"That's what's been puzzling me."
Jinghe smiled helplessly. It was undoubtedly good that Wiseman provided coordinates.
Although the Silver Feather could sense Lugia's location, it was still a vague perception; otherwise, the Kanto League wouldn't have offered it as a prize.
Being able to connect with an existing divine beast, whether it's searching for it or communicating with it at a critical moment, can play a significant role.
But having two sets of coordinates does make one ponder.
Could there be two Lugias?
"That's right," Jinghe suddenly realized something.
"What?"
"Nothing."
He shook his head because he couldn't confirm it temporarily, so he didn't say it out loud.
But there might be more than one Lugia.
Just like right now, they have a Lil' Locha here, which will become another Lugia when it grows up.
Moreover, he vaguely remembers there being a Dark Lugia as well.
"One of the coordinates is stationary, while the other seems to be moving," Herona noticed the clue on the navigation system, as one of the coordinates appeared to be slowly moving.
"Rotom!" Jinghe called out.
"Lo...Rotom?" Rotom blinked a few times, snapping out of its trance, still immersed in the process of being "injected" by Wiseman.
"Is there a moving coordinate?"
Herona was the first to notice the change.
"Yes...seems like it, Rotom."
"So, the coordinates Wiseman helped lock onto are real-time?" Jinghe was a bit surprised by Wiseman's ability or, perhaps, the altar's capability.
Interesting.
"The route is here, Rotom." Rotom, now fully alert, displayed the route of one of the moving coordinates.
"From this route, it seems to be approaching us," Jinghe observed the trajectory.
"But the speed is a bit too slow," Herona added.
Indeed.
Even most Water-type Pokemon move faster than this speed.
But based on the trajectory, it might be the Lugia searching for Lil' Locha. Perhaps, for some reason, its speed is not at its full potential.
"What about us?"
Jinghe paused briefly before deciding, "Let's rest on the island for a while and see if it's indeed getting closer to us."
If the route continues to approach them, it's highly likely to be Lugia.
A brief rest.
On the one hand, they can confirm the "identity" of one of the coordinates to avoid searching in multiple places.
On the other hand, it allows Lugia to pinpoint Lil' Locha's location, leading to a "mutual rendezvous."
"That's good."
Herona lightly nodded.
Speaking of which, they had circled around with Wiseman and spent a lot of time studying the ancient altar, and it was almost dark. They had only had a quick bite of bread for lunch.
As the tide gradually receded, the beach revealed its full extent, along with some reefs and corals.
"Hng~"
Gramps held a bucket in one hand and a pair of tongs made by the Great Forge Smith in the other, a professional tool for beachcombing.
Leading a group of little ones, he was having a great time beachcombing on the sand.
On the beach.
Rotom transformed into a speaker and played the song "Aim for Pokemon Master."
【Whether in fire, water, grass, forest, soil, clouds, or a lady's skirt.】
"Cha~~"
The tip of the Great Forge Smith's hammer also had a bucket hanging from it. He used the tongs to pick up a shellfish, excitedly raised it, and then tossed it into the bucket.
Then, everyone raised their tongs to display their findings.
"Hng~"
Gramps suddenly raised his hand, and a Giant Clam was biting onto it.
The little ones immediately surrounded him.
They had caught a Giant Clam, and it was even biting Gramps. Was Gramps about to "evolve"? However, to everyone's disappointment, the Giant Clam only bit Gramps for a short while before it felt its body go numb, losing all strength and falling onto the sand, foaming at the mouth.
"Huh?"
Gramps gently poked it twice, but the Giant Clam didn't budge.
Clearly, the poison of the Giant Clam was no match for the deadly toxins carried by Gramps, making it seem insignificant in comparison.
But the sharp-eyed Gramps quickly spotted a pearl hidden inside the Giant Clam.
"Goo-roo-roo!"
Lil' Locha burst out of the water with a "whoosh," a fish in its mouth, and ran towards Tyrogue, showing off, but slipped and fell into the water, losing the fish.
"Yoo-kee~~"
Tyrogue, with one hand in the water and one finger pointing at the fallen Lil' Locha, "mocked" it with a few sounds before proudly holding up its "catch."
It was an Iron Cannonfish!
"Goo-roo-roo."
Just as Lil' Locha was feeling a little dejected, the Iron Cannonfish in Tyrogue's hand suddenly glowed white and quickly evolved into a bright red Octopus Barrel.
After a brief moment of eye contact with Tyrogue...
Pffft—
Thick ink poured over Tyrogue, chilling him to the core, and with a mighty twist, he dove back into the sea.
"Yoo-kee."
The pitch-black Tyrogue was left with only his eyes, blinking in bewilderment.
Lil' Locha, no longer looking dejected, pointed at Tyrogue's adorable appearance and burst out laughing, holding her stomach.
The other Gramps, Ice Nine-Tailed, Swift Dragon, Martial Bearmaster, Flame Blade Demon, and even Tyrogue all couldn't help but smile, their laughter echoing.
"Yoo-kee!"
Tyrogue puffed out his cheeks, then, taking advantage of Lil' Locha's momentary distraction, rushed over and hugged her.
The next moment.
What was once a pitch-black Tyrogue became two.
"Goo-roo-roo?"
The silver-white Lil' Locha, now ink-black with only her eyes visible, blinked in confusion.
"Yoo-kee~~"
Tyrogue couldn't help but laugh at Lil' Locha's expression made him laugh even harder.
The two little ones laughed together.
Suddenly, a wave crashed over them, sending them both into the water.
But they didn't mind, and even after the water receded, they were still laughing.
It wasn't just them; all the little ones on the beach were like this.
[The dream of becoming a Pokemon Master is so alluring. It must be achieved, and success is certain!]
Rotom seemed to be immersed in the song and quietly turned to look at Jinghe.
Must one become a Pokemon Master?
Jinghe's phone contained this song. If, if Jinghe really needed it, even Rotom would help him become a Pokemon Master.
And it's not just Rotom who wants to help him become a Pokemon Master.
Rotom's gaze swept across the others.
Gramps, Ice Nine-Tailed, Great Forge Smith, Swift Dragon, Martial Bearmaster, Flame Blade Demon, and even Tyrogue—they all shared a common goal and worked together!
"What a lovely song," Herona said.
"Yeah!"
Even Jadira, who usually disagreed with Jinghe, nodded in agreement.
This song... For some reason, the first thing that flashed through Jinghe's mind was the released Flabebe and the waiting Beedrill.
"Flame Blade Demon, turn up the heat! Today, we're having a seafood medley!" Perhaps it was the song, or perhaps it was the atmosphere at that moment, but Jinghe's mood became much more cheerful.
A Pokemon Master?
Actually, as long as everyone is happy, that's enough for him.
Of course, if everyone's wishes and goals align, then they can work together towards them. The result isn't important; it's the journey together that will become the most beautiful memory.
Memories are like dazzling pearls, and bonds are like eternal diamonds.
"Goo-cha!"
Flame Blade Demon nodded heavily.
Every time he cooked, his control over temperature was a training for his energy manipulation.
"The coordinates are speeding up, Rotom~" Rotom suddenly said.
But not by much.
"Good," Jinghe said, unmoved. We'll set off after dinner.
A while later.
On the beach, the lit campfire, the red-tinted smiles, the cheerful voices, and the fragrant food...
"Gramps, go call Wiseman."
Jinghe didn't finish his sentence.
"Ya-dong."
Wiseman, who had taken a nap, came over to the campfire with his hands behind his back, lightly smacking his lips.
He sure knew how to follow the scent.
"Let's eat!"
Jinghe raised a coconut.
"Cheers~~"
In the vast depths of the sea.
An enormous submarine was sailing in the deep ocean, its size dwarfing even the King Whale.
At that moment, inside the submarine's cabin, a large number of people and Pokemon were bustling about.
"Captain, we've locked onto the location! It's in the ocean current!"
A middle-aged man with a bushy beard, sitting at the main control console, burst into laughter.
"What are we waiting for? Capture it!"
On the man's shoulder, a noisy parrot-like bird flapped its wings and mimicked his words.
Boom—
The movement of this colossal vessel brought irreversible destruction to the entire seabed.
However, faced with such a massive submarine, the wild Pokemon in the sea could only scatter to protect themselves, unable to resist.
