Chapter 434: Little Lugia

Chapter 434: Little Lugia

"Heh..."

Looking at the child's smile, Hikaru released his right hand, "Then can you tell me why you threw a stone at this sister?"

Perhaps because the person before him was still a child, Hikaru managed to hold back his anger and remain relatively friendly.

A child of a few years is just a child. When questioned by an object of their admiration, they would almost blurt out everything without a second thought, "It was Mommy who gave me the stone."

Hikaru cast a sharp gaze at the middle-aged woman behind the child.

Under his stare, in that instant, everyone's eyes fell upon her.

Instantly, she felt immense pressure, waving her hands repeatedly, but not knowing what to say.

"Forget it, Junior Brother, it's nothing."

Xue Nai pulled at the corner of Hikaru's clothes beside him.

The prejudice in people's hearts is like a great mountain; wanting to cross it is too difficult.

Although being spoken to like that was indeed upsetting, nothing bad had happened to her. Besides, there were so many people here; if a conflict arose, it would inevitably affect her junior brother's reputation.

"No!"

Hikaru grabbed her hand, looked around, his voice turning cold, his words merciless, "Just one Absol, and you all see it as the source of disaster? To the point that even the trainer who captured Absol has to be slandered by you?"

"Without understanding the truth of the matter, you actually blame everything on a Pokémon that has no connection to this incident whatsoever!"

"Then if I were the one who captured Absol today and came here, would you all also think that I brought the disaster?"

Hikaru didn't intend to hide anything at this moment.

"But do you know who stopped this tsunami guided by Lugia!"

"If I had known you were all like this, I shouldn't have been out there letting my Pokémon save some of you, nor should I have fought against Team Aqua, saved the little Lugia, and gone to negotiate with Lugia!"

Anger welled up in his heart. Hikaru took the scenes—from Lugia attacking Wind City, him following, to him and his senior sister sending out some Pokémon to rescue citizens, to the final battle with Team Aqua, and taking the little Lugia to negotiate with the big Lugia—and condensed them all using his Aura power into

images, sending them into the minds of everyone present.

The massive transmission of Aura made his face turn somewhat pale.

Ever since receiving the gift of the World Tree in the Qinling Mountains, this was the first time he had felt weak in his Aura power.

"Did you see? Team Aqua forcibly captured the little Lugia, which attracted the enraged Lugia. During this period, you..."

Hikaru pointed to a few of the people who had been shouting the loudest earlier, "You, and you! One was saved by Togekiss, the other was saved by my senior sister's Greninja. Now, this is how you repay them?"

His gaze was cold and sharp. The long-term Pokémon battles, coupled with the complete suppression of his Aura and having faced so many Legendary Pokémon.

Hikaru's body had long possessed an aura that ordinary people found hard to resist.

It was just that normally, he treated people with kindness.

The people pointed out lowered their heads in shame. The images formed by the Aura made them realize that the Pokémon that had saved them belonged to the very girl they had just slandered.

Others looked at each other, their faces filled with remorse.

The child who had first approached Hikaru started crying loudly. His mother quickly beckoned to him, but the child cried even louder, looked at his mother with disappointment, and then ran outside.

"People who needed rescuing, one by one, later blame the rescuers because of a baseless rumor. If this is the case, then next time, you should all fend for yourselves."

After saying his last words, Hikaru said no more. He took his senior sister's hand, intending to have Gardevoir teleport them away from here.

But the stagnation of the crowd and the child's crying had long since attracted the attention of the law enforcement officers guarding the entrance.

A law enforcement officer in a black uniform walked out from the crowd to mediate, "The truth of the matter will be investigated by our League later. Before the results are out, everyone should not speculate and not wrong a good person. At the same time, do not slander any hero who voluntarily stepped forward in a crisis."

Then he walked up to Hikaru, gave a salute, and immediately began to disperse the crowd.

This brief delay was just enough for a report to be passed layer by layer inside.

"Lugia! Lugia is here again!"

Hikaru's heart tightened. Wondering why Lugia would come back, his Aura power quickly spread out. But after sensing the "Lugia" outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The one waiting outside was just the little Lugia, not the big one.

But the people inside started to panic.

This crisis, one could say, was all brought about by Lugia.

The Lugia that just left is back again?

What should they do?

"Gardevoir, take us out!"

Hikaru placed his hand on Gardevoir's shoulder, and along with his senior sister, they disappeared from the spot.

Only then did the crowd come back to their senses. Looking at the spot where Hikaru had disappeared, they began to feel regret.

...

Outside the shelter.

The place where Gardevoir appeared with the two of them was right where the little Lugia was hovering in the air.

"Wooo?"

The sudden appearance of the two people and Gardevoir clearly flustered the little Lugia for a moment. But seeing it was Hikaru, it clearly became happy, "Wooo wooo!" (Play with me!)

And at this moment, below the little Lugia, several senior investigators were all looking at it as if facing a formidable enemy.

Although this little Lugia's strength didn't feel that strong.

But after what had just happened, everyone knew that the big Lugia might be nearby.

Hikaru teleporting directly here made their hearts leap into their throats.

Please, don't provoke this little Lugia. The big one is still behind it.

In the sky,

Looking at the pink-hued Lugia, and then thinking of the big Lugia from before, Hikaru still couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and quickly wiped the anger from his face.

"Play? Where to play?"

Hikaru was somewhat baffled.

This little Lugia wasn't leaving Wind City with its elder, but instead followed him...

"Wooo wooo..."

Compared to the big Lugia's deep and powerful voice, the little Lugia's tone was clearly more tender, appearing more lively and amiable.

"Wooo wooo~" (I want to learn more about you humans.)

The little Lugia spun around in the air and proactively flew below Hikaru, wanting to carry him for a flight.

But it was briefly restrained by Gardevoir's psychic power beside them.

On the horizon,

A streak of light flashed. From the distant Kyoto, the long-awaited Vice-Chairman of the Pokémon League Headquarters—Lance (Ye Du)—arrived.

Even for a Dragonite, the fastest Pokémon apart from Legendaries, it still took some time to reach Wind City.

But upon arriving here, the scene before him made his jaw drop.
