Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 179 Can I Tame This Lugia?
Lugia is one of the legendary large bird Pokémon of the Kanto region.

Legend has it that because of its overwhelming power, Lugia can only spend its time quietly at the bottom of the deep sea. It is said that if Lugia flaps its wings, it will cause a storm that lasts for 40 days.

Without a doubt, Lugia is a legendary Pokémon on par with Ho-Oh, and Caitlyn actually has some expectations for Lugia.

Lugia is, after all, a Pokémon known as the 'Sea God'! (This is a direct quote from the Pokédex; Lugia is said to be the 'Sea God'.)
But... this is too small?

"Lord Lugia..."

May and Tamao were also extremely nervous. Looking at the little Lugia, which was less than a meter tall, both women were numb.

They had always wanted to see Lugia and Ho-Oh, hoping they could forgive the mistakes of their ancestors.

But that's not how Lugia is!

"Ooh!"

Little Lugia toddled to his feet, wobbling like a duck learning to walk, and followed behind Mammon, trying to bite the bread in Mammon's hand.

They look absolutely adorable.

"This child is probably very young, and we don't know where its mother is."

Mammon handed the bread to Lugia, who took a big bite and chewed happily.

Sure enough, even legendary Pokémon are so cute and innocent in their baby form.

"Mammon, do you think I can subdue it?"

Gadriya's eyes sparkled as she looked at little Lugia; she adored the cute little guy.

Now that I know it's a Lugia larva, I like it even more!
And she caught it herself! What does that mean?
This shows she has a special connection with this little Lugia! A natural connection! Not to mention, Lugia has Psychic powers!

"Subduing it isn't difficult; its mind isn't mature enough yet. But the main problem lies with its parents."

Mammon stroked his chin and spoke. He was quite interested in this little Lugia, but not particularly interested.

Moreover, he vaguely remembered that Lugia's mother cared extremely much about little Lugia, to the point that if little Lugia went missing, Lugia's mother would go completely mad.

This shows how important little Lugia is to Lugia's mother.

But how should I put it? It's not surprising, after all, for beings like Lugia, which naturally stand at the top of the world's food chain, it is extremely difficult for them to reproduce.

"Luggia..."

Cattleya remained silent, but she was indeed filled with regret.

However, this was to be expected. Gadria took out the special Psychic-type Pokémon's favorite ability cubes from her bag.

"Would you like some of this? You'd probably like it."

Gadriya walked up to Lugia, knelt down, and spoke in a very gentle tone, opening the box of power cubes in front of Lugia.

"Ooh!"

Little Lugia sniffed the air, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Lugia was munching on the energy cubes in the box, looking like it hadn't eaten for three days.

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty left, don't choke." Cattleya gently stroked Lugia's neck, the soft feathers feeling wonderful to the touch.

"I wonder if this little Lugia's feather will have any effect."

Mammon picked up a small Lugia feather from the ground and looked at it with great curiosity, observing the tiny feather that shimmered with a faint silver light.

Lugia's Silver Feather is an item used to summon Lugia in the game, and it is also one of the essential items for creating GS Balls.

The Masked Man wanted to capture Ho-Oh and Lugia for their feathers, which he used to create a device that could capture Celebi, who could jump through time.

However, those were the feathers of an adult Lugia, and it's unknown whether the feathers of this baby Lugia have the same effect.

This same problem also troubled both the pear blossoms and the tree.

They were taking a nap, and after they were comfortable, they came to check on Mammon to see if there was any progress. Then they saw little Lugia playing happily, babbling away.

Yishu's mind went blank on the spot.

"Is...this okay?"

Yishu hesitated, wondering if the feathers of the little Lugia, who was not even as tall as him, were what the Masked Man needed.

What if the masked man gets angry if the feather is useless?
What do you think, Pear Blossom?

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Pear Blossom rolled her eyes and replied irritably.

She figured it would be perfectly fine to ask Mammon for a little Lugia feather, so she said she'd keep it as a souvenir.

The question is, is this feather what the masked man needs?
"Wait, why is it dark?"

Suddenly, Pear Blossom noticed something unusual.

The once clear and blue sky was suddenly filled with thick, dark clouds that rolled in and blocked out the sunlight.

The once calm sea began to surge and churn, as if it were enraged.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere filled the air, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"How is this going?"

May pressed her hand to her chest, looking around in shock and disbelief, feeling a suffocating sensation...

It was as if some apex predator had its eye on them!
Ugh!
A deep, melodious wail came from afar and reached the ears of Mammon and the others.

"Ooh-ooh~"

Upon hearing this sound, little Lugia jumped up happily and chirped lightly at the surging waves.

"It seems that the little guy's parents have come looking for him."

Mammon chuckled softly, his eyes gazing at the distant sea.

They could vaguely see a huge dark shadow rapidly approaching from underwater, its target being their direction.

Although Lugia is said to be the 'Sea God', it is actually not a Water-type Pokémon; it is a Psychic/Flying-type. However, Lugia also possesses the ability to control celestial phenomena. Legend has it that it can create storms simply by flapping its wings and can also calm the turbulent sea.

The reason it is known as the 'Sea God' is because Lugia, like Ho-Oh, is essentially a very gentle and kind legendary Pokémon.

Lugia originated from the sea, and it possesses almost all the 'advantages' of the sea: gentleness, inclusiveness, and beauty.

When people encounter shipwrecks or accidents at sea, Lugia will unconditionally help them as long as it is nearby.

Over time, the legend of Lugia began to emerge, and those who had been saved by Lugia referred to him as the 'sea god'.

But even the gentle Lugia can get angry!

"Woo~!"

The deep, mournful wail grew closer, and the enormous dark shadow approached the shore.

A giant, silver-white bird-like Pokémon slowly rose from the sea, causing a large amount of seawater to rush down.

It has a beautiful silver-white body and looks almost exactly like Lugia, but its size is completely different.

What's even more different is the intense sense of oppression emanating from his entire body!

It was an intense, oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe, especially its angry and cold eyes at that moment.

"Woo~!!"

Lugia howled again, its cold gaze falling on Mammon and the others.

"Hey hey hey~ This is no joke, buddy, it seems this Lugia sees us as enemies."

Pear Blossom's words seemed like a joke, but the seriousness in them was so clear.

Having directly experienced the terrifying aura of this Lugia, Rika suddenly realized how ridiculous her previous idea of ​​capturing Lugia had been.

As expected, the reason why Masked Man was able to subdue Lugia and Ho-Oh was simply because he was Masked Man.

"We didn't do anything to little Lugia, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Mammon didn't think much of it, but when he turned around, he saw that Lugia's mother had opened her mouth, and white air was constantly condensing.

This is the preparation animation for the Lugia race's exclusive technique, Cyclone Attack (Aerial Blast)!
"Brother, are you sure it's okay?" Pear Blossom felt the hairs on her body standing on end.

Every cell in her body was reminding her that if she were hit by this attack, she wouldn't even be left with ashes!
Pear Blossom had already gripped the Poké Ball tightly in her hand, ready to throw it at any moment.

Mammon was also quite surprised. He knew that Lugia's mother valued little Lugia, but why did she just use her special move without any explanation?

That's really a bit too exaggerated.

"Kyogre."

Mammon didn't want to gamble that Lugia's mother would stop attacking, so he decisively released Kyogre.

The King of the Azure Deep Sea appeared in the sky in front of Mammon, his majestic and merciless eyes fixed on Mama Lugia.

"this is?"

Rika Satsuki and the others stared in astonishment at the giant Pokémon that had suddenly appeared.

Lugia's mother looked at Kyogre, a hint of surprise also appearing in her eyes.

It could see clearly that Kyogre came out of that human's Poké Ball? Kyogre was actually captured by a human??
Lugia's mother was quite shocked, because in the impression of their Lugia clan, Kyogre's temper... was really not very good.

Although it is the origin of the ocean, what else can Kyogre do besides make rain and expand the ocean? It really doesn't do anything.

Isn't it the Lugia that do the work of maintaining the ocean?

Lugia's mother was surprised and suspicious, but the cyclone attack from her mouth gradually dissipated. If it was Kyogre's trainer, he shouldn't have hurt his child, right?
"It seems he's starting to listen, Lugia. We didn't kidnap your child. We were fishing, and it took the bait on its own."

Mammon lies without batting an eye; he just blurts it out.

Moreover, he wasn't exactly lying to Lugia's mother; he wouldn't even dare to dream of catching little Lugia while fishing.

As for kidnapping Lugia, that's even less likely. Lugia's belly was much bigger than when it was caught, it was just from being stuffed with food.

Lugia's mother breathed a sigh of relief, and as her emotions calmed down, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the turbulent sea gradually returned to calm.

"Ooh!"

Little Lugia clearly didn't care about the tense atmosphere just now, and ran towards Lugia's mother with her arms outstretched.

Lugia's mother quickly descended to the ground, hugged little Lugia, and gently rubbed her head against Lugia's.

This incredibly heartwarming scene is truly touching.

Kyogre glanced at Lugia, then at Lugia's mother, seemingly wondering about something.

"Woo-hoo~ woo-hoo~"

After embracing for a while, the little Lugia cried out excitedly and joyfully to its mother, Lugia, and its little wings pointed towards Mammon and the others.

Lugia's mother immediately understood what had happened, and looked at Mammon and the others with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I startled you just now. Thank you so much for taking care of my child."

A gentle, telepathic female voice rang in Mammon and the others' ears; it was Lugia's mother's telepathic communication.

“It’s alright, I understand,” Mammon replied with a smile.

“This child is only a little over a hundred years old and still very immature. I’ve always been worried that it might be deceived.”

Lugia's mother looked at little Lugia with affection.

'Only a little over a hundred years old'...

Pear Blossom smacked her lips, looking at Lugia with a strange expression. Well, the Lugia race has a relatively long growth cycle? That's normal.

Races like the Lugia have incredibly long lifespans; who knows how long they can actually live?
