Chapter 435: Capturing Little Lugia

Chapter 435: Capturing Little Lugia

"So, you want to follow me to learn more about the human world?"

A Poké Ball had already appeared in Hikaru's hand.

The reason he hadn't captured it before was that the big Lugia was standing beside it. Now that the little Lugia had appeared here, it undoubtedly meant the big Lugia had tacitly approved of its freedom.

"Wooo wooo~" (Mhm mhm!)

Lugia nodded repeatedly.

"Alright! I'll use this to capture you!"

Hikaru wasted no more words and lightly tapped the Poké Ball on Lugia's body.

The red light vanished.

After a few "ding" sounds, the Poké Ball fell still.

To be honest, when the big Lugia left with the little Lugia, Hikaru no longer had any expectation of capturing a Lugia.

But unexpectedly, this little Lugia had actually returned.

With a light tap, he released Lugia from the Poké Ball.

Looking at its pink dorsal fins, although he had many questions, now was clearly not the time.

The arrival of Lance (Ye Du) in the sky had already alerted him.

Below, a group of investigators stared at his actions, dumbfounded.

There were also some residents who had just come out of the shelter. At this moment, watching Hikaru's actions, their faces were also full of disbelief.

Lugia...

Was actually captured!?

"Roar!"

Dragonite flapped its wings to a halt. Lance (Ye Du) immediately flew over. Looking at the Lugia beside Hikaru, his face was filled with astonishment.

This was a Lugia!

Although it was just a little Lugia, its growth potential was unquestionable.

Wait...

Lance (Ye Du) looked at Hikaru in disbelief. If he wasn't mistaken, he had just come from Kyoto a few days ago, right?

Originally, Lance (Ye Du) had thought that the current Hikaru, already having an Elite Four level Latias with that speed and terrifying stealth ability, shouldn't need protection.

Today, news suddenly came of the Legendary Pokémon Lugia's rampage here in Wind City. And in the real-time images from the satellite, he once again saw Hikaru's Latias...

And it was right near Lugia.

As everyone knows, in any organization, the second-in-command is always the busiest.

So, this kind of matter, in the end, he had to come and handle it personally.

"Lugia..."

Looking at this clearly young Lugia, Lance (Ye Du) was extremely surprised, "You captured it?"

The little Lugia, seeing the somewhat fierce-looking Dragonite, immediately flew behind Gardevoir and Hikaru.

Although it would one day become the God of Ocean Currents, soaring through the skies and seas, before becoming a god, it was still just a child less than a year old.

"Uncle Du..."

Although he had long since sensed Lance's (Ye Du) arrival, Hikaru still greeted him.

For this League Vice-Chairman who had always thought highly of him, and was also Sakura's (Xiao Ye) uncle, Hikaru was very respectful.

At the same time, he said helplessly, "It said it wanted to experience the human world..."

That's what Lugia had said.

He wasn't lying.

But this reason made Lance's (Ye Du) mouth twitch.

It wanted to experience the human world, and so it found you?

However, he didn't say much more. For a Legendary Pokémon to be captured by him, that was naturally his own ability.

Besides, this wasn't the only unusual thing that had happened around Hikaru.

Lance (Ye Du) glanced around, his expression turning grave, "I saw you talking with Lugia earlier. Do you know what happened here?"

Hikaru could only recount what had just happened once more.

"That is to say, this little Lugia was the center of this incident." Lance (Ye Du) frowned.

Team Aqua had secretly infiltrated Huaxia's territory again. Their actions were becoming more and more frequent. Could it be that they knew the Blue Orb was within Huaxia?

However, even realizing this possibility, Lance (Ye Du) wasn't overly worried.

The Blue Orb was located in the capital of Huaxia—the center of the Spiritual Medicine Bureau.

With Team Aqua's strength, wanting to snatch it was almost impossible!

"Alright then, I'll go check on the progress of this matter first."

"You..."

He glanced at Lugia, then patted Hikaru's shoulder, "Keep up the good work, try to hold onto it!"

He then had his Dragonite fly downwards, calling away those senior investigators below.

The appearance of a Legendary Pokémon, such matters still needed him to handle them.

...

Phew....

Watching the crowd below gradually disperse, Hikaru let out a long sigh of relief.

The burst of anger he felt in the shelter just now had also dissipated a little.

Gardevoir also asked at this time, "Garde..." (Where are we going next?)

Hikaru shook his head, "Let's leave this city first. You've worked hard, Gardevoir..."

Before coming, his impression of this city was actually quite good.

But after coming, he didn't have a single good impression of this city.

He beckoned to Lugia. The other party obediently flew to Hikaru's side, having no objections to his request to carry two people.

Thus, Hikaru and Xue Nai landed on Lugia's back together, and then he recalled Gardevoir.

"Sorry, for troubling you again..."

Sitting on Lugia, although it felt novel, Xue Nai couldn't help but touch its pink dorsal fin, finding it somewhat cute. But the latter suddenly turned its head, startling her, and she didn't dare to get handsy again.

Hikaru didn't issue a command. The latter directly spread its wings and flew towards the sky.

After a moment of silence, Xue Nai pressed her face against the man's back in front of her, her hands wrapping around his waist, "Sorry, Junior Brother... for troubling you again..."

"This has nothing to do with you..." Hikaru comforted her, then felt it was strange, "Speaking of which, Senior Sister, that wasn't like your personality just now. In the past, you wouldn't have compromised so easily."

At the Mizuki City League, he still remembered how his senior sister, after being defeated by Han Feng, looked so furious and asked him to help defeat the opponent.

Xue Nai thought about it and felt that her past self would indeed have been filled with anger.

But now, when Hikaru stood up for her, her first thought was whether her junior brother's reputation would be affected because of it.

Hikaru said softly, "If you're bullied, you still have to find a way to fight back. Otherwise, they'll only bully you more fiercely."

"Mhm..."

Xue Nai replied, a warm current flowing through her heart, and she hugged the man in front of her even tighter.

But this act of "public display of affection" didn't elicit any reaction from the Lugia beneath them.

Like a child just freed from parental control, it flew towards the horizon as if its reins had been broken.

Only then did Hikaru realize,

It was taking the two of them deep into the sea.

Feeling both amused and exasperated, he said, "Lugia, where are you taking us?"

"Wooo wooo?"

Lugia's flight finally halted. It turned its head and looked at Hikaru strangely, "Wooo wooo." (Home, of course.)

Having never accepted the human worldview, the first thing it thought of was still... home.
