Chapter 485: Lugia, Captured!
Chapter 485: Lugia, Captured!
Aquadeus Temple, Akasha!
Deep within the ocean's depths lies a temple, a place unknown to most, and theoretically reachable only after finding Manaphy and following its path back.
The temple was built by ancient Waterfolk to honor the Sea God.
"Aquadeus Temple, Sea Crown," Herona murmured.
"Sea Crown?" Jadira gave her a puzzled look.
"Legend has it that whoever possesses the Sea Crown will gain the power to command the sea, becoming the ruler of the oceans."
The power to command the sea? Jadira's confusion deepened.
Isn't that the authority of the Sea God, Kyogre?
"So, their goal is the Sea Crown?"
If they could obtain the Sea Crown and earn the sea's recognition, as hunters in the vast waters, they would no longer need tools like submarines and could freely hunt the Pokemon within.
In that case, perhaps no one would ever be able to capture Ghost again.
If the League were to launch an attack, he could even hide in the most dangerous waters.
Additionally, many Pokemon hiding in the deep sea would be unable to escape his hunts.
"Huh?"
Gramps, upon hearing the term "Sea Crown" and learning of its power, had his eyes shining with excitement.
This crown seemed more impressive than Wiseman's crown.
Maybe he should "borrow" it and try it on?
"Don't worry," Jinghe said, removing his monocle and wiping the water stains from the lens with a cloth. He smiled and said, "He can't wear it."
"Hmm?"
Jinghe didn't explain, leaving Herona and Jadira puzzled.
Should he tell them that the so-called "Sea Crown" is so large that it's not a matter of whether it can be worn or not?
Moreover, the so-called recognition of the sea isn't something that can be permanent.
In the movies, when Ash obtained the "Sea Crown," he transformed like a Super Saiyan, glowing with golden light. He could fly and dive without any equipment.
But in the anime, all his abilities seemed to have been reset.
Of course, it's also possible that Ash's "special trait" is being a movie genius and an anime fool.
However, one thing is certain: Ghost doesn't know how to wear the real "Sea Crown."
Unless Hunter J knows and has informed him.
But then again.
Even if Hunter J and Ghost were to collaborate, it's unlikely they would reveal such information.
"Compared to that, I'm more concerned about Lugia's condition," Jinghe said, his voice growing heavier.
What could have made Lugia abandon its search for its child, and what was forcing it to remain stationary?
"We're almost there," Herona said.
A massive submarine came into view, illuminated by the reflection of the moonlight and the temple's outer barrier.
Surprisingly, there was also a medium-sized submarine docked outside the temple.
"Is that Hunter J's submarine?"
"Chahaha—I'm here, you scoundrels!"
Inside the enormous submarine, Pirate Gastly stood up.
Despite his seemingly formidable appearance, he was only about half the height of an adult, a stark contrast to his imposing demeanor.
Hunter J, wearing sunglasses, spoke in a cold tone:
"Found it?"
"Yes!"
Ghost jiggled the container in his hand, which held a transparent object resembling an egg. At its center, a gem-like red core was surrounded by a circle of golden light points.
The Manaphy egg! Upon seeing the Manaphy egg, Hunter J's expression softened slightly, but she still scoffed and mocked,
"At least you're not as useless as that."
She was referring to Ghost "losing" the Little Lurantis.
It was the legendary Pokemon Lugia's cub!
From a trading perspective, it was even more valuable than an adult Lugia, as legendary Pokemon might be seen a few times, but a legendary cub
Moreover, if Little Lurantis were still around, they wouldn't have to wait here, and the problem would have been solved by now.
If it weren't for Ghost being more adept at moving in the sea than herself, why would she have entrusted such an important task to someone else?
Fortunately, after all the twists and turns, the mission was about to succeed.
Hearing Hunter J's mockery, Ghost couldn't help but react, his eyes widening in anger.
"J, you better think about where you are right now!"
This was the ocean!
His territory!
How much power could Hunter J's Pokemon display in the depths of the sea?
As they were about to argue again, Suixing, the ever-unfazed observer, adjusted her hair and sighed, "Alright, stop bickering. Let's focus on the task at hand."
Star Governor also chimed in, "Hurry up. Teacher Jinghe and the others will be here soon."
Teacher Jinghe!
Hunter J's eyes narrowed behind her sunglasses, a flash of ruthlessness crossing her face. She decided against arguing with Ghost, as it was pointless.
"So, he's Teacher Jinghe?" Ghost exclaimed, as if realizing something.
He had been wandering the sea for years, somewhat isolated from the latest news, but he had heard a few stories about Jinghe's achievements.
Stories like his tactical mastery and tournament victories.
However, he hadn't been paying much attention lately, as he had been busy searching for Manaphy in the ocean, so he wasn't aware of Jinghe's more extravagant rumors.
That's why he seemed so calm, pointing behind him and saying with a smile,
"He was following us earlier."
Huh? Hunter J, Star Governor, and Suixing all looked at Ghost in disbelief.
"You led him here?" Star Governor asked.
Ghost scoffed, "Look at you, scaredy-cats. Once he's here, we'll deal with him."
"A mere Trainer is nothing to be afraid of.
Even if the Elite Four were here, with their personnel, equipment, and plans, they would still suffer defeat!
Not to mention that the opponent isn't even a Trainer.
Hunter J and Suixing chose to ignore the mysterious confidence of the Gastly, exchanging glances and immediately saying:
'Enough talk, let's enter the shrine!'
Their solemnity caused the Gastly to secretly sneer in his heart.
To be so afraid of a mere teacher, a teacher who is just a teacher. Once I, Big Brother, obtain the 'Sea Crown', I'll capture him and show these cowards!
However, he didn't say anything further. He took out Manaphy's Egg and approached the barrier of the Sea God Shrine.
Buzz—
Without Manaphy, there was indeed a chance to find the Sea God Shrine using instruments and such.
But without Manaphy, the barrier around the Sea God Shrine couldn't be opened, and ordinary beings couldn't enter.
'Gyaaaahhhh!!!'
As soon as they entered the barrier of the Sea God Shrine, they heard a roar filled with anger, followed by a raging storm.
'Tyrantrum!'
Hunter J didn't hesitate and threw a Poke Ball, summoning a Tyrantrum.
'Roar!!!'
Facing the terrifying hurricane, Tyrantrum didn't back down and roared in response, its crimson wings flapping and pushing back the wild airflow.
Although not as strong as the opponent.
It still managed to resist a little.
The Sea God Shrine, although located in the vast ocean, was actually separated from the sea by a barrier, and the inside of the shrine had sufficient air, no different from being on land.
So Hunter J, Suixing, and their Pokemon could move freely.
After entering the shrine's barrier, everyone's gaze, except for the Gastly, fell on the silver silhouette dancing in the sky, mixed with a hint of heat.
The legendary giant bird Pokemon, Lugia! However, Lugia's current state was clearly abnormal.
Its eyes were bloodshot, its breath was rough, and its chest heaved violently. Although it was flying in the sky, its body trembled slightly, as if enduring something.
If Jinghe were here, he would surely discover the reason for Lugia's current state.
A dark red chain was wrapped around its body! A red chain!
But this red chain, compared to the one in Jinghe's hand, had some differences, as if something was missing.
'Hiding for so long, it's time to end this.'
Hunter J didn't hide her eagerness and coldly laughed, taking out a pitch-black Poke Ball from her waist.
A Dark Ball! 'Tyrantrum!'
Hunter J leaped, and the Tyrantrum flew to her feet, carrying her into the sky.
Then, Hunter J raised her left hand.
Buzz—
A brown petrification beam shot out.
Although Lugia's state was off, it seemed to have some reason left, as it roared and sidestepped.
But it ultimately didn't react in time, and its ability seemed to be greatly weakened, making its dodge less timely. The petrification gun hit its wings.
'Gyaaaahhhh!!!'
With a mournful cry, its wings turned to stone, causing it to stumble in flight.
It was at this moment that Hunter J didn't hesitate and threw the Dark Ball in her hand.
Buzz...
Deep purple, eerie electricity flickered on the Dark Ball, hitting Lugia and opening it. A thick black mist emerged, enveloping Lugia, giving it no chance to resist, and it was captured in the Dark Ball.
Click—
With no room for struggle, the Dark Ball locked and fell into Hunter J's grasp.
Only then did she finally exhale.
'Lugia, capture successful!'
'They've entered the Sea God Shrine.'
Jadira's eyes glowed with psychic energy, and her vision seemed to penetrate the sea, seeing the location of the Sea God Shrine below.
However, the barrier of the Sea God Shrine was quite mysterious, and with her psychic powers, she couldn't fully discern the situation inside, only feeling a vague darkness surrounding it.
'Go?'
She looked at Herona and Jinghe.
'Since we're here, we should at least go down and see what's going on.' Jinghe spoke calmly.
Moreover, the two coordinates on the Lugia's navigation had completely overlapped, indicating that Lugia was indeed here.
But they didn't have equipment like a submarine, and to reach the sea, they needed Jadira's psychic powers.
'Let's go.' Herona's voice was also slightly cold.
Facing the Pokemon Hunters who treated Pokemon like cargo, no normal Trainer would have a good impression.
As she spoke, Herona threw a Poke Ball.
Mew and Seel appeared simultaneously.
Although they weren't afraid of Hunter J and the Gastly, the opponents seemed to know they were there and might have set up traps.
So for safety, Herona had Mew and Seel approach to check for any traps.
At the same time.
'Lady Goth.' Jadira also threw a Poke Ball and spoke.
'Sing' Lady Goth understood and activated her psychic powers.
Buzz—
Instantly, a psychic power enveloped Jinghe, Herona, and Jadira, and they all recalled their Pokemon and headed towards the sea.
The seawater parted on both sides.
Soon, they were immersed in the seawater and approached the Sea God Shrine.
The handsome man in the ship's cabin was communicating with equipment.
