Chapter 431: Rescue

Chapter 431: Rescue

"Bastard! Stay right there!"

Watching Charizard make a feint and immediately fly towards the sky with Latias, Izumi was first stunned, then a wave of fury surged through her heart.

She immediately had the fastest Noivern prepare to follow.

But after seeing a flash of red light, and the entire Latias disappearing over the horizon, she was completely dumbfounded.

This feeling of working hard for half a day, only to have someone else pick the peaches, besides making her furious, also brought a strong sense of powerlessness.

"Ma'am, the Pokémon over there is about to lose! We should go quickly!"

The Team Aqua member beside her, although also filled with anger, his rationality told him that the giant snake over there was about to lose. If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to leave later.

And once they left.

On the horizon, several Pidgeot flew over like streaks of light.

They landed at the place where the battle had just occurred.

The individuals were all clad in the League's investigator uniforms. Clearly, these were assistants dispatched from the surrounding Leagues.

Beneath them, these Pidgeot were clearly all at least Elite Four level.

And the rank of these investigators was at least senior.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?"

Looking at Zygarde battling Lugia, one of the investigators frowned deeply.

To be able to hold its own against a Legendary Pokémon,

And it was a Pokémon that had never been seen before!

"Don't overthink it. Our mission is to protect the public as much as possible. Other matters will have to wait for other trainers to arrive as support!"

The lead investigator, Liu Long, said urgently.

In such a battle, even if they were Elite Four level trainers, they were not qualified to intervene. If they were careless, they might even die along with their Pokémon!

Their mission was to save as many residents as possible who were suffering in this disaster.

"Yes!"

In the shadows, watching the retreating Team Aqua members, and then the investigators arriving one after another as support, Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally thought the back mountain was a safe zone, and most residents had hidden in a shelter on the back mountain.

But now it seemed the back mountain was clearly not safe.

Fortunately, Zygarde didn't want to expand the scale of destruction from the battle, so it had been keeping the battle area contained.

But the result of this was—being somewhat cumbersome, it was constantly being beaten!

Just as Hikaru was thinking about how to inform Lugia that he had rescued the little Lugia, his senior sister's voice came softly from behind him, "Junior Brother, you can put me down. I'm not much use up here; in fact, I'm just getting in your way."

"Down below, I can actually save some people."

"Hmm?"

Hikaru was stunned, then wasted no more words, "Okay, Senior Sister, you be careful."

Now was not the time for romantic sentiments.

Hikaru immediately placed Tyranitar's Poké Ball in her hand, then had Latias take his senior sister to a corner of the shelter on the other side of the mountain, before having Latias fly back to the side of the two battling Pokémon.

But he had just flown near for a short while.

The already irascible Lugia seemed to have sensed something and became even more agitated.

Looking at Zygarde, which was still gathering Dragon Breath, it didn't even try to block, and a violent energy gathered in its mouth.

"Draco Meteor..."

Hikaru's pupils shrank.

Draco Meteor was not like the previous Hyper Beam or Dragon Pulse. This was a wide-range AOE damage attack. And with a Draco Meteor of this magnitude, this entire back mountain would be affected.

By then, never mind the Pokémon on the back mountain; even the shelter in the mountain would be affected.

He had just sent his senior sister down there.

Zygarde over there also noticed this situation, and the Dragon Breath from its mouth was swiftly unleashed.

But Lugia, taking this hit, had absolutely no intention of abandoning the gathering of energy.

It had already discovered that its successor was nowhere to be found.

Unprecedented fury made it disregard the pain on its body.

In a moment of desperation,

Hikaru directly sent his Aura power and Viridian Force over, also taking out the Silver Wing.

You've got to be kidding. If Lugia were to unleash such a move.

This back mountain, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers, would be at least half-razed.

"Lugia, I rescued the little Lugia! Don't do this..."

A strange inner voice entered its mind.

The enraged Lugia was stunned. Following the source of this power, it soon saw the red Latias and the human on top of it who had approached at some unknown time.

Although it had been held back by Zygarde just now, its attention would still occasionally fall over there.

But in just one exchange of energy waves, the little Lugia had already disappeared.

That was why it was so furious, wishing it could turn the entire region upside down.

Just now, it was clearly humans who had held the little Lugia back, and were even beating it.

But now, it actually couldn't muster a trace of disgust for this human?

Why did he have its Silver Wing?

"Lugia.. yes, Lugia!"

Seeing Lugia clearly pause, Hikaru's mind settled. He took out the Poké Ball that had captured the little Lugia, "It's in here. It was injured by those humans just now. I need to heal it now."

And he guided his Aura, letting the little Lugia's presence emanate.

At the same time, he issued a command through his Aura, "Latias, Heal Pulse!"

A pink healing light wave flowed into the Poké Ball. Although it couldn't completely heal the little Lugia, it could express his goodwill.

The energy gathering in its mouth slowly weakened. Lugia indeed sensed that Lugia was in that Poké Ball.

But its long-lasting anger didn't let it trust Hikaru so easily.

Until Hikaru had Latias use its psychic power to slowly send the Poké Ball in front of It.

Lugia spat the Draco Meteor in its mouth towards the sky. The explosive energy tilted towards the sea, streaking across a distance of a hundred lıˇ (approx. 50km), creating waves in the sea that Hikaru could hear even from here.

Then, with a light touch of psychic power, the Poké Ball burst open.

The small pink Lugia appeared in the air. After the recent healing, although this Lugia still carried various injuries, upon receiving the aura of the same origin, it slowly regained consciousness, looking around at everything blankly.

And after feeling the pain on its body, the first thing it did was use "Recover."

Green energy flowed over its body, its injuries once again being healed.

Upon seeing the large Lugia, this little Lugia immediately looked wronged and flew over, continuously rubbing its head against the large Lugia's chest.

Its wings flapped about like it was dancing, looking like a child who had lost a play-fight outside and was running home to tattle to its parents.

"Wooo wooo!"

And the large Lugia, while looking relieved, also looked reproachful. Under Hikaru's Aura perception, it was scolding it for leaving its sight.

Hikaru, on the scene, watched the entire scenario.

Then, the large Lugia urged the small Lugia to leave this place...
