Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 196 Recovery (45)

On the sixth day after Jirachi's arrival, under the joint confirmation of Genji and Ziraniao, all Pokémon hunters on the island were either eliminated or captured, and only a few escaped on flying and ocean Pokémon.

The battle to defend the island and Kiraqi has achieved a complete victory.

Although a large number of Pokémon were killed and injured, and the sailors of the Flying Dragon also suffered considerable losses, it was a worthwhile trip for them to be able to inflict heavy damage on such a harmful Pokémon hunter organization. .

Taking along the three armed merchant ships that surrendered after failing to escape, and transporting hundreds of prisoners including sailors, combatants, and researchers, the Hiryu set sail again.

Before departure, Yuanji said in front of everyone that he would definitely take credit for the three people and would continue to investigate the participation of this organization.

After that, he stopped Lai who was seeing him off, and they walked to a distance together and talked alone for a long time.

"Depart and return!"

Genji, who returned to the ship, waved his hand and received the signal from Liangguang. With an order, the simple sail warship sailed towards the boundless sea again.

Standing at the edge of the deck, Issei and others waved goodbye vigorously in Rai's direction.

······
"Dawu-san, what are your plans later?"

Back at the camp on the island, Rai asked Daigo about his subsequent plans.After finishing his rest, Dawu already had the intention to leave. The tent had been put away and the backpack had been packed.

After dusting off his suit that was slightly wrinkled by the sea breeze, Daigo stopped, took a serious look at the innocent Jirachi, and said, "Let's go to Martial Town first, and take Boss Cordora home to see him. Look, then go back to Green Ridge Town and ask the people at the Space Center to help study the thousand-year meteorites and cosmic energy. After that, I may go to Sinnoh. I heard that there is a new mine there, and I am very interested."

This is indeed a "very big" itinerary, and it is not beyond Lai's knowledge at all.

"I wish you good luck in your travels and find a stone that satisfies you!"

Len held out his hand.

"I'd like to lend you some good words, Lai. In this state, fighting is a bit strenuous. I wonder if you are interested in the Caiyou Conference next year? I have a friend who wants to compete with you, and I also have this intention."

The two held hands together.

"Oh? Friend. I'm a little curious about this. Can you tell me who he is? To be honest, Huayue also wants to compete with you again. He is still practicing on the road to becoming a champion."

Lai became a little curious and several answers flashed through his mind.

"His name is Mikri, and you and he are both trainers specializing in the water element."

Sure enough it was him.

Without thinking, Rai said: "I will go, together with Naqi. I look forward to competing with you, Daigo-san. It's just that next time we meet, you won't be the one who says 'I am first in the end'."

With Eli's current strength, he indeed has the confidence to say these words.

Daigo smiled gently and brilliantly: "Looking forward to competing with you, Lai. We'll see you next time."

Separating his hands, Dawu walked to Naqi and stretched out his hand: "Miss Naqi, your aerial combat skills are amazing. I hope to have the opportunity to ask you for advice. Goodbye."

Naqi stood beside Lai, shook hands gently and reservedly and responded: "Goodbye, Mr. Daigo, I will definitely ask for advice in the future."

After saying goodbye, Daigo fixed his backpack on Metagross, took off into the air, and headed northwest, which was different from the Flying Dragon.

"Stop waving, no one is around." Naqi walked to Lai's right hand, gently took his arm, and teased, "Are you jealous just now? I have never seen you so interested in fighting. If you say it's for Daigo, I'm afraid that's not quite right. Unless your orientation is abnormal, then I'd be a little worried." Putting down his raised left arm, Lai calmly responded: "That's right, I'm just jealous. , you are envious and jealous of Mi Keli, who you have known since childhood, so you have to teach him a lesson on the field."

Lai's frankness was beyond Naqi's expectation. She clenched her fist lightly with her right hand and knocked Lai's arm twice. She said with a coquettish tone: "Are you so jealous for no reason? You are like a child, and you want to take me to the lottery." You, I didn’t promise you.”

Lai turned his head and looked directly at Naqi: "So, beautiful Miss Naqi, can I invite you to go with me to next year's Caiyu Conference?"

Facing Lai's fiery gaze, Naqi lowered her head and whispered softly: "It's not impossible."

Taking advantage of the situation, Lai took the initiative and held Naqi in his arms.

"Then we have to hurry up? Try to complete half of the pioneering journey before June next year, then concentrate on processing the gymnasium, and finally go to Caiyou."

Walking closely together, Lai planned his trip for the next six months, while Naqi listened silently and added a word or two from time to time.

Jirachi floated around the two of them. With a mind similar to that of a child, Jirachi didn't quite understand why the two of them were so close.

······
After sending off everyone on the Feilong and Daigo one after another, only Rai, Naqi and wild Pokémon were left on the island.Before setting off, Lai wanted to try to solve the problem of the power of the heart, and then use the power of the heart combined with superpowers to try to solve Kiraqi's sleeping predicament.

Arriving at the territory of the natural bird, it had already prepared a message and asked:

[Have those strong human beings left? 】

"Yes, they all left. They said they would come and visit you if they had another chance in the future."

[Here is always open to them, we will always remember the friends who have helped us. 】

The tone of the natural bird is solemn. The more natural and primitive the space, the simpler life is. It not only has the unique wildness and cruelty of early life, but also has the purest emotions and the simplest values.

[You sit down first, we will try again, this time King Slow and Demon Fire Red Fox will also help. 】

Natural Bird realized that there were still urgent things to do and reminded him.

"Okay, let's get started." Lai nodded and sat down, crossing his legs and entering a meditative state.

The natural bird stands on top of its head, and the super power with the highest degree of compatibility enters first, guiding its mental power and constantly stimulating the "seed" of the power of the heart.

Followed by the Demon Fire Red Fox, Slow King and Natural Bird from weak to strong, the layers progressed to allow Lai's mental space and soul field to adapt.

Rai, who is extremely mentally powerful, has a spiritual world that is stronger than most superpowers. His soul also became very strong after the fusion of the two souls, perfectly carrying the power of the four Pokémon. Superpowers, under the protection and guidance of natural birds, can be used for one's own purposes.

Deep in his heart, Lai vaguely sensed something that looked like both a seed and a cocoon, commanding his mental power and superpower to move closer, stimulating it slightly.

At first, it only fluctuated slightly and had no special reaction.

As the number and density of superpowers increases, after breaking through a critical value that makes Lai's brain ache and exhausts the coordinated natural bird, it suddenly burns like a kind of fire meeting dry firewood. Standing up, crystal blue energy seeped out from it, spreading through super powers and Lai's own mental power.

In an instant, all the superpowers injected into Lai's body by the four Pokémon turned into nutrients for him.

Crystal blue light radiated from all over Lai's body, becoming clearer and thicker, turning into pure energy, nourishing and feeding the four Pokémon.

The power of the heart that was originally exhausted has been successfully revived through many efforts, and the quality seems to have reached a small level.
