Chapter 490: Jinghe: I Know Many Friends
"Roar!!!!"
Amidst the storm, Hydro Viper's body was enveloped in a magnificent display of Super Evolution energy, its colors shimmering in the rain. As Herona's mind connected with it, a brilliant light of evolution burst forth.
The majestic Super Hydro Viper brandished its massive scythe, dispersing the Super Evolution energy as it fearlessly charged towards the Dark Lugia.
Boom!!
The Super Hydro Viper, adorned in a deep purple dragon cloak, collided head-on with the Dark Lugia, shrouded in its psychic powers.
The impact of the large and small figures was like two meteors crashing, creating a terrifying wave of air and stirring up an even more violent surge.
"Gaaah!"
The Dark Lugia roared.
Its consciousness had become somewhat clouded, and the shattering of the Dark Ball had dispelled much of the negative emotions of slaughter, anger, and hatred in its mind. However, the red chain on its body continued to influence it.
Its subconscious told it that the battle should end, but its body's instincts were still somewhat uncontrollable.
As a result, its power was significantly weaker than before, but even so, it still easily overwhelmed the Super Hydro Viper.
"Huff..."
Genji, who had retreated to the side and was exhausted, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With his strength, he could clearly see that the Dark Lugia had weakened significantly, but after all, it was still a divine beast. The fact that Herona and Hydro Viper could still hold their own against it was a testament to Herona's formidable abilities.
The younger generation is truly formidable.
This thought popped into Genji's mind.
As an elder of the League, he was delighted to see such talented youngsters emerge.
If he had to express any regret, perhaps it was that Herona was from Sinnoh.
But soon, Genji regained his composure.
No problem!
Sinnoh has Herona, and Hoenn has Jinghe, right? There's also Daigo, Mikuri, and other young talents who have already demonstrated exceptional potential and even realized a portion of their gifts.
He could almost envision the youthful tide gradually pushing them, the elders, to the shore of the times, taking over as the "trendsetters."
"I wonder when Jinghe will rise to prominence," Genji thought to himself.
Boom!!
The clash between the Dark Lugia and the Super Hydro Viper sent shockwaves through the air, causing both Pokemon to retreat.
Herona stood on the ice, frozen by Glaceon, surrounded by Lucario, Floraggron, Mew, and other Pokemon.
Jadira and her various psychic-type Pokemon were also present.
Genji was exhausted, but they could still hold on for a while longer!
"Gaaah!!!"
The Dark Lugia roared again, its terrifying aura mirroring the surrounding natural environment—the raging waves, the pouring rain, and the thunderous lightning, all reminiscent of divine power.
This force kept Herona and Jadira on edge, their expressions tense and vigilant.
"Roar!!!"
The Super Hydro Viper did not back down in the face of the Dark Lugia's roar.
It may be outmatched, but it wouldn't lose in spirit! Moreover, it wasn't alone!
However, it was somewhat challenging for the Landorus to engage in an aerial battle over the sea.
Just then, a plaintive cry, tinged with sadness and fear, echoed through the air.
Upon hearing this voice, the Dark Lugia in the sky paused, and a glimmer of clarity flashed in the depths of its blood-red eyes as it scanned the area below.
Soon, it locked onto the massive submarine and the figure standing atop it.
On the person's shoulder, a small Dark Lugia lay, its face filled with sorrow.
A gentle expression flashed in the Dark Lugia's eyes, then vanished.
Child...
Herona and her companions, having heard the voice and sensed the commotion, also turned to look at Jinghe, feeling relieved to see that he was unharmed.
"Stop, Lugia!"
Jinghe's robe fluttered in the wind as he looked up at the Dark Lugia, which seemed to merge with the darkness of the night.
Anger still raged in its eyes, but deep within, a struggle was evident, and for a brief moment, it calmed down, silently gazing at the diminutive human.
Witnessing this, Jinghe understood that even though the Dark Ball had shattered, the Dark Lugia had not fully recovered due to the presence of the red chain.
Additionally, there was another reason for this: Lugia's aversion to humans.
Indeed, in Lugia's eyes, regardless of whether it was Hunter J, the Ghost, or Jinghe and Herona, they were all humans.
The preconceived notion was that even if Jinghe and Hunter J's groups were not affiliated, suspicion remained.
This suspicion was magnified under the influence of the Dark Ball and the red chain.
As a Pokemon psychologist, Jinghe could somewhat discern Lugia's inner thoughts.
With a soft sigh, Jinghe leaped from the submarine, and Rapidash flew beneath him, catching him and soaring towards the Dark Lugia in the sky.
"Take it easy," Jinghe said, patting Rapidash's neck and lowering his voice.
"Mew."
Rapidash softly acknowledged.
"Huh?"
At that moment, Gengar emerged from the submarine and flew into the shadows behind Jinghe.
The submarine was now under Lotad's control, and it had to protect Jinghe against the Dark Lugia.
"Roar~"
"Chirp~"
"Roar~"
Ice Kyurem, Gigalith, Martial Bear, and Blue Fire Hound also landed on the ice where Herona stood, gazing upwards with vigilant expressions.
They had to be prepared in case the Dark Lugia launched an attack.
Jadira, with a stern expression, found her psychic powers activating involuntarily.
But Herona stopped her with a hand, her eyes fixed on the sky, and said, "Trust him."
"I have no ill intentions."
Jinghe extended his hands, trying his best to convince the Dark Lugia of his sincerity.
"Waaah!"
The little Lugia cried and called out, seemingly vouching for Jinghe, affirming his goodness.
The Dark Lugia's eyes remained unchanged, but its expression showed a struggle.
Reason and instinct fought fiercely for control of its body.
But no matter what, it couldn't attack Jinghe because the little Lugia was on him!
"I know many friends, perhaps you know them too."
Jinghe continued, his heart pounding with anxiety.
Facing a legendary Lugia, and one that could go berserk at any moment, who wouldn't be nervous?
Genggui, our safety is in your hands and Rapidash's.
As he spoke, Jinghe's hand reached into his inner pocket.
"Gaaah!"
The Dark Lugia's eyes narrowed.
What could it be? A Dark Ball? The Red Chain? A petrification gun? Or...
Its body tensed.
But then, Jinghe pulled out a feather glowing with a rainbow light.
"Oops, sorry, I grabbed the wrong one."
Rainbow Feather: Meow?
However, the Dark Lugia recognized this feather as belonging to Ho-Oh!
They had been "neighbors" in Enju City, and eventually left due to certain circumstances, which was also the beginning of Lugia's negative impression of humans.
But the radiant rainbow feather indicated that Ho-Oh acknowledged this human?
Then Jinghe reached into his pocket again and took out a white feather.
A frozen bird's feather!
"Cough"
A lightning bird's feather.
A flame bird's feather.
Dark Lugia: "..."
Is this guy a social butterfly? Jinghe slightly touched his forehead, feeling a bit nervous and affecting his sense of touch.
So he decided to take out all the feathers in his pocket.
"Oh, this one isn't it."
Then he put back Cresselia's "Crescent Feather."
"This kid," Genji laughed, "wants to make a feather fan?"
Who could collect so many feathers?
And they're all from legendary Pokemon!
Fortunately, Jinghe finally took out Lugia's "Silver Feather."
Combined with the little Lugia's call, the Dark Lugia's chest slowly exhaled a sigh.
And Jinghe's purpose in taking out these feathers was simple.
Obtaining these feathers meant that he had a good relationship with their "owners," and they were trustworthy.
"I know you're suffering," Jinghe said sincerely, holding a handful of feathers in one hand and raising the other, looking directly into the Dark Lugia's eyes.
"Let me help you."
"Waaah!"
Rapidash cried out in a timely manner.
"Hnggaa~~"
Genggui also poked half of his head out from behind Jinghe and made a "yeah" gesture.
"Gaaah!"
The black mist around the Dark Lugia swirled, and as Jinghe approached, it became increasingly tense, involuntarily releasing its aura.
The pressure was overwhelming!
As if stimulated by the Dark Lugia, Rapidash's body emitted a faint green light, and Genggui's black mist also revealed a terrifying face amidst the swirling.
The Dark Lugia froze, stunned.
This human was a social butterfly among legendary Pokemon? How could one person have so many legendary auras?
Even it hadn't encountered so many! This was an opportunity!
As the Dark Lugia hesitated, Jinghe seized the moment, pounced forward, and grabbed the dark red chain on the Dark Lugia's body.
"Gaaah!"
Jinghe's sudden movement startled the Dark Lugia, and it instinctively believed that the human was deceiving it, so it flapped its wings.
"Waaah!"
The little Lugia's cry reached the Dark Lugia's ears, causing it to freeze again.
When the Dark Lugia came to its senses, it found itself struggling to breathe.
Its neck was being constricted by Rapidash, and beside it was a purple-skinned chubby Pokemon, whose hands swiftly rubbed and formed a black ball, ready to attack from below.
"Waaah! Waaah!" Rapidash tightened its grip on the Dark Lugia while calling out.
Calm down, calm down!
The Dark Lugia struggled to breathe, its eyes rolling back.
If it had attacked earlier, Rapidash and Genggui wouldn't have been able to get so close. But because of the little Lugia's cry, it had stopped its actions, only to be restrained by Rapidash and Genggui.
Who should calm down? The Dark Lugia roared inwardly.
"Rapidash, you're choking it!" Jinghe's voice rang out.
"Waaah?"
Huh?
Rapidash glanced at the Dark Lugia's face, looking surprised.
Look, it's turning white!
Jingle-jingle—
The chain moved swiftly, emitting a crisp sound.
Having used the Red Chain once, Jinghe had gained some understanding of it.
After infusing it with Aura, the chain began to constrict.
The Dark Lugia's sanity was rapidly returning, so it didn't resist; otherwise, Rapidash's arm wouldn't have been able to choke it.
Clatter!
The chain tightened and broke, turning into dust.
Indeed, it was a one-time use item.
The Dark Lugia's negative emotions also receded rapidly.
As Rapidash loosened its grip, the Dark Lugia gasped for breath and flapped its wings, hovering over the sea.
The raging waves gradually calmed, the clouds in the sky dispersed, the rain stopped, and the thunder faded.
A ray of morning sun shone from the eastern sea.
Seeing this, Herona, Jadira, Genji, and Handsome all breathed a sigh of relief.
The problem was not resolved.
No!
The darkness on Lugia's body had not faded.
Everyone tensed up again.
However, Dark Lugia kept its eyes closed, gently flapping its wings to maintain balance, but it no longer exuded a violent aura.
"Goo-woo-oh?"
Lil Lugia's eyes lit up, and although Lugia's color had not returned, it sensed a familiar presence, the feeling of its mother.
It immediately jumped down from Jinghe's shoulder, landing on Dark Lugia's back, rubbing its cheeks affectionately, as if reminiscing and clinging, it gently rubbed against it, murmuring softly.
"Gaah-ssss!"
Dark Lugia suddenly opened its eyes, but there was not a trace of blood in them; instead, they were a pure azure.
It flapped its wings vigorously, carrying Jinghe on its back and Lil Lugia, flying swiftly into the sky.
"Hmm?"
Rapid Dragon was startled by this sight, and green light emanated from its body. It was about to chase after them when it found itself enveloped by a psychic power that lifted it into the air.
Not only Rapid Dragon, but Gramps and even Ice Kyurem and Gigalith on the ice, all of them were lifted by the psychic power and returned to Jinghe's Poke Balls.
Herona and the others were equally astonished.
"Hydro Viper!" he shouted.
"Roar—"
But before they could react, Jinghe's voice came through the wave-guiding sound.
"Don't follow. I'm fine. Lugia is just experiencing some post-traumatic stress. Let it calm down, and I'll provide some psychological counseling."
Upon hearing this, Herona and Genji stopped their actions.
They exchanged glances.
Psychological counseling?
As a Pokemon Psychologist, Jinghe should understand Lugia's condition better than them.
Lugia needed an environment where it could relax more.
Moreover, Lugia didn't just take Jinghe away; it also took all of his Pokemon with it, except for one.
"Me, me? I haven't gotten on yet. I haven't boarded yet, Lotom!"
Lotom emerged from the submarine, looking bewildered.
"It should be fine now." Genji finally sat down on the ice, completely devoid of the Four Guardians' demeanor, exhausted.
Confronting Dark Lugia head-on!
Even if Lugia wasn't in its best condition and couldn't fully unleash its power, it still exhausted him and his Pokemon.
"Roar!"
The Super Hydro Viper's Super Evolution energy dissipated like silk being unraveled, and it recovered, landing next to Herona.
Herona shook her head, indicating that there was no need to pursue them.
It's fine.
She waved and said, "Lotom."
"Here!"
Hearing Herona call his name, Lotom immediately flew over, gripping Herona tightly, not wanting to be 'abandoned' again.
She smiled and soothed it with a few words.
"There's one more thing," Herona said, looking at Jadira.
This was something Jinghe had previously instructed.
Jadira pouted but still used her psychic power.
In her eyes, she seemed to see a faint line emerging from the damaged sailboat.
"What is it?" Genji asked.
"The two who escaped," Herona said.
The two who escaped?
Genji was taken aback.
"Did you let them go on purpose?" After asking, Genji seemed to realize something and immediately asked, "Was this arranged by Jinghe?"
Herona nodded.
"In that situation, we wanted to minimize uncontrollable factors. Those two might still have some tricks up their sleeves."
Additionally, Hunter J and Ghost had been captured, but they might not reveal everything.
Even if they did confess, they might not disclose all the details about the mastermind.
They might even fantasize that the mastermind would find a way to rescue them.
Jinghe was aware of Akagi's existence, but Akagi was currently disguised as a 'Sinnoh celebrity', and there was no reason or excuse to deal with him.
The Galaxy Team was hiding, right? Using Star Governor and Suixing as a breakthrough, they exposed the existence of the Galaxy Team and also opened a gap.
Everything would naturally fall into place from there.
Of course, the follow-up was the task of Herona, Wusong, and Daye; Jinghe didn't want to get involved in that mess again, as his mission was already accomplished.
Jadira retracted her psychic power and looked at Herona, saying, "A warehouse in Coastal City."
Following the clues, they had found the source.
Herona took out her phone.
"Coastal City, warehouse, move out."
On the other end of the line were Wusong, Daye, and Alu.
"Understood, Big Sis!"
They were waiting for Star Governor and Suixing to feel safe before capturing them! This reduced the immediate risk and also revealed the 'details'.
Under the azure sky, a small island came into view.
Clouds and mist surrounded the island, and it seemed to appear out of thin air as if it had passed through the clouds.
Jinghe, who was lying on Lugia's back with a slightly pale face, came to his senses.
This was probably Lugia and Lil Lugia's residence.
"Gaah-ssss—"
Lugia's voice resonated with complexity, as if sensing Jinghe's discomfort with the speed, and it slowly descended, landing on the island.
"Goo-woo-oh~~"
Back in a familiar place, Lil Lugia seemed happy, flapping its wings and circling between Jinghe and Lugia.
Jinghe shook his head slightly and gradually recovered.
He exhaled softly and looked around the island.
The island wasn't large, but the scenery was quite pleasant. There didn't seem to be many wild Pokemon on the island, and the surrounding mist gave it a 'utopian' feel.
After finding a rock to sit on, Jinghe said to Lugia, "Let's begin."
Psychological therapy.
This was also part of Jinghe's promise to help Lugia.
