Chapter 433: Prejudice in People's Hearts
The little Lugia followed the big Lugia towards the back mountain again. Only this time, it brought a gentle breeze.
The speed at which the seawater receded quickened again. In just a few minutes, all the seawater returned to where it came from, leaving only buildings damaged by the impact, and a somewhat mournful city.
Starting from the back mountain.
The big Lugia, as if inspecting its own territory, led the little Lugia from the shelter in the back mountain, step by step, towards the city.
"He is a human, his race is human. The first consideration in his actions is always for humans. Now, look below."
The little Lugia followed its gaze. After the seawater receded, the view was filled with sorrow. The wails of Pokémon, humans slowly returning to their homes, looking at the places they once lived now like this, couldn't help but feel sad.
For a time, the entire Wind City was filled with negative emotions.
On the contrary, the big Lugia, after seeing the little Lugia safe and sound, its emotions stabilized.
"..."
The little Lugia was somewhat silent. It knew who had done this.
"Wooo wooo..." (But they hit me...)
The little Lugia remembered the experience of being beaten before, and also felt curious. Those few humans clearly wanted to capture it, but another human who appeared later saved it...
"That is why I was furious!"
Lugia, like an elder, patiently explained to the little Lugia, "Humans are different from Pokémon. Each member of their race is a complex individual, and each has different pursuits. Therefore, it leads to such results."
Every Legendary Pokémon with a divine duty has lived in the world for an unknown number of years.
Like Mew, it was only because it guarded the World Tree year-round that it seemed a little naive.
But even so, Mew had some understanding of the other mainstream race in this world—humans.
Let alone Lugia or other Legendary Pokémon.
On one hand, humans possessed sincere hearts.
On the other hand, among them, there was also strong ambition.
Some ambitions were so great that even They couldn't imagine them.
It was precisely this colorful diversity.
That made Arceus decide to save this race back then.
What a pity...
The spacetime turbulence was not something the bodies of that world's humans could withstand...
"Let's go, come back with me."
The stroll of the two Pokémon brought them back to the seaside.
It seemed that the big Lugia's words had sparked the little Lugia's curiosity. It asked curiously, "Wooo wooo?" (Can I go learn more about the human world?)
Lugia stopped, looked at the other life form born from its own origin, and finally nodded, "It's about that human from before, right?"
The little Lugia nodded.
After pondering for a long time, Lugia said slowly, "Go then. You are still young; you should experience a little more."
Then, a bright light flickered on its body, and a pure white feather fell from it, dissipating into the little Lugia's body.
"When you need me, just call."
"Wooo wooo~" (Mhm, mhm~)
Having received permission, the little Lugia spread its wings. Its already wild heart immediately flew back towards the back mountain.
And Lugia watched the departing little Lugia, a thoughtful look flickering in its pale eyes.
The feather it gave at the end was undoubtedly the Silver Wing.
But on that human, it had also sensed the aura of a Silver Wing, plus that affable aura.
This was the reason why, in its rage, it had forcibly thrown the Draco Meteor into the sea.
...
The shelter in the back mountain.
Watching the seawater recede, Hikaru rushed here at the first opportunity.
This was the prototype of the shelter built after the last battle between Kyogre and Groudon. Later, to prevent large-scale casualties from such Legendary Pokémon battles, various forms of shelters were built all over the country.
And Wind City's shelter,
Was built on the back side of Wind City.
When Hikaru landed, everyone was already impatiently coming out of the shelter, wanting to return to the town!
He immediately activated his Aura power.
He quickly located his senior sister's position.
But the crowd was surging; everyone was thinking of quickly returning to the city.
For a short while, he couldn't get in at all.
Helpless, he could only have Latias go to the city, find Gardevoir first, and then have it teleport him in.
Things went smoothly.
But it was only after Hikaru and Gardevoir teleported in that his Aura power discovered it.
"See that? That's the trainer who captured Absol. Back then, it was a Pokémon no one dared to capture, and she captured it..."
"A few days ago, I saw her training Pokémon in Wind City's gentle breeze zone. Recently, I haven't seen her at all. I didn't expect that as soon as she came today, Wind City would suffer such a great disaster."
"Sure enough, Absol is a disaster Pokémon. She actually captured it and brought it back to Wind City. Isn't this bringing harm to Wind City..."
"It's all her fault..."
"It's all her fault..."
Xue Nai, queuing with the crowd to leave, had her head down at this moment, not saying a word.
All around her were hushed discussions like this.
At such a time, regardless of right or wrong, or even a vague "rumor."
It could become an outlet for people's anger.
"So pretty, but to think she has the heart of a snake and scorpion..."
"Yeah, yeah... I remember she even participated in last year's National High School League, right?"
"Get out of Wind City! Never come back to Wind City again..."
A vacuum circle unconsciously formed around her.
It seemed that anyone who got close to the girl in the center would be plagued by bad luck.
A child even picked up a stone from below, wanting to throw it.
But as it flew into mid-air, just as Xue Nai subconsciously wanted to dodge, it was caught by a powerful hand. Accompanied by a crunching sound, when it fell again, the once solid rock had already turned into powder.
Anger.
At this moment, Hikaru's mind was filled with only anger!
Damn it! I was out there, whether it was rescuing people or fighting Team Aqua, plus negotiating with a furious Lugia! Which of those things wasn't dangerous?
And in return, my woman has to be bullied here?
Who could stand this?
"Junior Brother?"
Xue Nai looked with surprise at Hikaru and Gardevoir who had instantly appeared before her.
"Wait a moment..."
The crushed stone slipped from his fingertips. Hikaru gazed at the people gathered around, his eyes uncharacteristically cold.
"Hikaru?"
Appearing before the crowd in such a manner, the [Shapeshifting Mask] was useless. Someone quickly recognized him.
But seeing his icy expression, everyone fell silent as a winter cicada.
Only the child who had just thrown the stone happily pulled his mother's hand beside him.
"Thank you, big brother Hikaru! Greninja saved me before, Mom!"
