Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 749: The War between Gods Stops·The Adult Beauty of Arceus (69)

The red light flashed, and Lai held the elf ball, retracting and releasing his friends who had exhausted their energy one by one. After feeding the last few special herbs in the backpack, he sat on Kyogre, who had completely exhausted his energy, and quietly wait.

Not long after, Doronbaruto finally accumulated the power to open the rift in time and space.

"Swish"

Dark red cracks reappeared in the material world.

"puff"

Kyogre, who had a bruised nose, swollen face, and bruises all over his body, was tossed casually by Swampert and thrown back into the water.

Knowing that there was no hope of escape, Kyogre could only lie on the water surface, motionless.

The clouds dissipated, the sea returned to calm, and the stars began to shine again.

Len jumped lightly, jumped on its back again, and sat cross-legged on its forehead where the old wound had not healed yet a new one had appeared, carefully avoiding the wound that was still bleeding.

"Can we communicate?"

He had been drying it for a long time, and Lai thought to himself that it was almost time, so he finally asked.

"Roar."

【can. 】

Accompanying the weak roar was a deep and tired male voice.

"Aren't you crazy now?"

The situation was decided, and even though he was feeling exhausted, Lai still crossed his arms with interest and took his time.

【.yes. 】

There was a bit of humiliation in Kyogre's voice, and more of a grievance.

It was only just now that it figured out what happened from its manic memories.

"Do you know how much loss and disaster your madness has caused us?"

Lai's eyes became slightly colder, and invisible pressure filled the air.

【.I know, but I.】

Before Kyogre's explanation began, he was interrupted by Lai: "I also know that your awakening was used by an evil organization. Strictly speaking, you are also a victim of this conspiracy. You were awakened for no reason, and It’s very uncomfortable to lose control of your body and be injured like this after you wake up, right?”

【.Ok. 】

In Kyogre's eternal life, there was no more frustrating moment than now. The majestic God of the Sea would actually turn into a beast-like existence.

After listening to Lai's words, it felt that everything he said was true to its heart, and it unconsciously became even more aggrieved.

"After all, it's a legendary Pokémon in our Hoenn region. It can't kill you anyway. So, it's not that I can't forgive you. But..."

Len drew out his voice slightly.

【What can I do? 】

Listen carefully, although the fat-headed fish and the flightless fish are enemies who can only love and kill each other, they are by no means mindless idiots.

Eternal life gives them enough time, and the accumulation of time makes wisdom inevitable.

The situation is stronger than the human being. After hearing Lai's words, it naturally asked.

"Use your power to eliminate the flood, and return to your lair to continue sleeping." Rai slowly spoke, and Kyogre's eyes lit up. "Then, at some point in the future, I or someone else will The person holding my token will find you where you sleep and change your place of residence. You need to cooperate as compensation for the disaster and loss caused this time."

【.What did you say? 】

Kyogre's eyes widened and he looked forward in disbelief, trying to look up to see Rai's expression.

This was the first time he heard that he was asked to move. The underwater cave had been his residence for tens of thousands of years and had never been moved.

"I ask you to move to a place we think is more suitable in the future. This way, when you are sleeping, you will not conflict with Groudon's energy, causing the extreme climate in the Hoenn region. I made it clear enough. Is it? It’s just that we haven’t calculated it yet. When the calculation is completed, I will find you."

After slapping his hands angrily, Len explained patiently.

【I'm fine.But the new place needs at least.]

Although I feel a little sad, the cave under the sea is just a place to sleep. Now, half of my life is in the opponent's hands, and I can't help it not agreeing.

Seeing Kyogre's dilemma, Rai added: "It will be a comfortable place for you to live, I can guarantee it. But in exchange, you must be more honest, otherwise, next time, your indigo orb , but there’s not much energy left.”

At the end of his words, Lai had a hint of threat.

With his current strength, if Kyogre were to fight without the blessing of the indigo orb, the outcome would still be uncertain.

As an eternal god, the accumulation and recovery of legendary Pokémon like Kyogre is much slower than that of humans and ordinary Pokémon.

Ordinary injuries and energy accumulation are of course not a problem, but when it comes to serious injuries involving the source, every bit of it takes a long time.

With almost no hesitation, Kyogre nodded honestly, regardless of his injuries, and forcibly activated his power.

The great flood that covered all parts of Fengyuan Continent receded slowly at the same time.

【.I tried my best. 】

Kyogre's voice became breathless, and even his body size shrank a bit again.

"You go back. Our grudges are settled. Take this with you."

A package of medicinal materials from Caoyan Town, together with the package, were thrown directly into Kyogre's bloody mouth.

In surprise, Kyogre's expression even became a little more honest.

After taking a deep look at Lai, Kyogre was given a sweet date after being slapped, and he dived into the deep sea and swam toward the northwest.

I don’t know how long this deep sleep will last.

Standing on the back of the giant swamp monster, Len raised his head and looked into the distance.

Lila, little Latias, and Latios were all out of sight.

On the contrary, on the northern horizon, a figure that he recognized at a glance, although blurry, was approaching at high speed.

"Haha really."

Lai, who was just relying on his last energy to forcefully maintain the fight and negotiations, felt relieved at this moment, and the natural power of the heart disappeared like an ebbing tide.

The power that he had today, comparable to that of a god, was gone forever.

For no reason, such thoughts arose in Lai's mind, but he immediately shook his head and threw away some distracting thoughts.

The power of God is a luxury and useless thing for human beings. It would not be a good thing to lose it.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness all over his body.

Golden light spots emerged from the body, turned into dots of starlight, and rose into the sky.

He reached out in vain, but failed to grasp anything.

Lai raised his head and looked steadily at the sky, where he seemed to still be able to see the last traces of King Slow.

And behind everything, high in the sky, there seems to be a pair of eyes that are watching everything.

"Al Zeus?"

In the murmur, Lai seemed to hear a vague sigh. "Whoosh"

A Pokémon egg fell from the sky and landed right in front of Len.

"King Dada?!"

Subconsciously hugging him, Len looked at the high school in disbelief, his eyes full of shock and hope.

The rhythm of life is weak but firm.

The invisible eyes high in the sky seemed to deflect realization, and the vague feeling of gaze completely dissipated.

"Thank you."

After whispering a thank you, Lai felt his eyes turn red, his feet softened, and he fell down, half lying and half sitting on the ground, landing on the solid back of the Swampert.

"Lai!—"

The figure that is so familiar that it is engraved in the bottom of my heart moves from far to near.

Seeing Lai falling, Naqi rushed down in fear, jumped off the back of the Tanabata Blue Bird, landed on the back of the Swamp Monster, and hugged Lai tightly.

Kiraqi, who had just woken up, followed closely, and seeing Rai's pale complexion, he did not hesitate to use his best wish for healing.

The golden rain of life fell, and a bit of blood slowly returned.

"Ahem, cough, stop shaking. I'm dizzy. Give me a hand."

Gently pressing Naki's hand, Rai showed a relieved smile, hugged the Pokémon egg tightly, and leaned closer.

Na Qi hurriedly helped Lai sit down steadily, leaning his entire body against hers.

Feeling that the weight was much lighter than in the morning, Naqi blinked her beautiful big eyes, and big tears were about to fall.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I told you, you don't look good when you smile, and there's no bad news. Just smile."

Without much strength, Lai could only reluctantly stretch out his hand and wrap his arms around his lover's slender waist. Half-jokingly, he leaned forward lightly, feeling the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
-
In the distance, feeling the end of the battle, little Latias cheered and immediately wanted to fly over with Lila to meet him, but was gently held back by Lila.

"Latty?"

Latias tilted his head, confused.

“It’s not the time for us to get past it yet.”

Lila looked at the two snuggling together from a distance, and her words revealed a thousand emotions.
-
On the other side, the speeding aircraft slowly hovered in the air.

Daphne let go of the console and operating lever, which were already stained by dripping sweat, sat back heavily on her seat, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Give them some time."

The superpower sensed that Cortna wanted to leave the spacecraft quietly, and Daphne, who closed her eyes to rest, said softly.

"Oh"

Cortna agreed in a muffled voice, turned her back, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the wall of the cabin.

"It's really unimaginable that it was solved by him like this."

Looking forward along the windshield, Mikri has not fully accepted this reality until now.

The wind subsided and the rain stopped, and everything seemed as if it had never happened.

"He will always do something that is beyond your imagination and beyond everyone's imagination. There is no need to be too surprised."

Ever since the rain subsided, Huayue looked like the overall situation was decided, lying lazily on the ground with her legs crossed, very leisurely.

Hearing Mikri's emotion, he said without thinking.

"Yes, he is indeed such a person." Daigo slowly loosened his fists that were a little moist due to being tightly clenched together for a long time. "What we can do is give them some time."
-
"Have they all been solved? I thought I was going to do it myself! Where's that fat-headed fish? I'm going to fight it for three hundred rounds!"

Stepping off the spaceship in a long stride, Hua Yue moved her stiff neck and shoulders, making a fierce gesture.

"I won't bother you. You'd better have a good rest."

After taking medicine and resting for a while, Lai's energy recovered a little.

Reluctantly standing up with Naqi's help, Lai walked to the front, joking, pretending to be casual, and slapped Huayue hard on the neck!
"Ouch! Why did you hit me?! Eh????"

The severe pain made Hua Yue jump three feet high, and she couldn't help but complain.

Then, he was surprised to find that his neck and shoulders no longer hurt.

"Go aside!"

With a slap, she pulled Hua Yuepa away, who was still playing with the treasure. Cortna jumped off the spacecraft and handed over the scarlet orb as if it were a treasure.

"How is it? Isn't it very powerful? Yes! No! Yes! Very! Awesome! Terrible!"

Listening to Cortner's exaggerated tone, Len just stretched out his hand and touched the tip of her hair.

"Thank you for your hard work, Cortna. It's not easy, isn't it?"

"You you bastard!"

Cortna quickly turned her back, took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran back to the spacecraft. She happened to pass by Mikri, and he saw her reddish eyes and flushed cheeks.

Mikri, who was very clear-minded, could not understand. He shook his head and sighed secretly. He just stepped forward and gave Lai a solid hug.
-
on the sea in the distance.

The war stopped. Latios and Latias from the mysterious island did not come forward to say hello, but just left silently.

Before leaving, they grabbed little Latias and muttered something. Even Lila, who had telepathy, didn't notice anything.

"Latty! Latty!"

He had already exhausted his patience in waiting. As soon as he was allowed and out of the sight of the two elders, little Latias quickly carried Lila to Lai's location as if he was having fun.

"puff"

Then, because he didn't brake in time and didn't dare to hit Lai, he had no choice but to rush into the water, turning both himself and Lila into drowned rats.

However, for Lila, who had already been soaked in the rain, this no longer mattered.

She glanced at little Latias angrily, seeing it lowering its head in embarrassment and starting to act like an ostrich. Lila didn't say anything, she just stepped forward and gave him a generous hug. .

"From today on, you are a true legend. The whole Hoenn, no, the whole world, will remember such a feat. My, our champion."

Lila's voice and breathing next to Lai's ear made Lai feel a little itchy.

Holding Lai's arm, Naqi just shook her head imperceptibly, but said nothing.
-
"Yes, Chairman, it's over. When we arrived at the scene, Kyogre in his original form had been repelled by Rai, and everything returned to normal."

In the cabin, Daigo calmly reported the situation to the alliance headquarters still above Zijin City.

There was a huge amount of information contained in the plain sentences. On the other side of the screen, Chairman Kensaku, who had expected it, opened his mouth wide and could not close it for a long time.

But a moment later, deafening cheers reached Dawu's ears along the loudspeaker.

In this sleepless night, the emotions of panic were quickly replaced by joy.
-
"woo"

On the spaceship, in Daphne's bedroom compartment, Cortna huddled into a small ball and controlled her emotions.

Standing outside the door was a helpless Daphne.
-
A moment later, the black aircraft took off again, piercing the night sky.
