I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

With a flash of light, the silver steel body shone even brighter in the bright sunshine, and the Shining Titanfall landed on the beach.

It lowered its head and looked at Aisha.

"Please, Metagross."

Aisha smiled and grabbed its silver arm that had a ball-jointed connection to its torso. With a force, she jumped steadily onto its back.

"Take me to those islands over there."

“Me-ta-!!”

Upon hearing this, Shining Metagross roared passionately.

Don't ask why it gets so excited just by going out to sea.

The problem is that Aisha's "Please" is too destructive to it.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the dull sound of steel collision, the Shining Metagross leaped up like a Transformer and folded its four thick steel arms.

"Buzz!"

The super power fluctuations were released together with the electromagnetic force, carrying its huge and heavy, but quite stable steel body for Aisha, floating in the air.

“Me-ta-!!”

The next moment, a bright red light burst out from the eyes of the Shining Metal Monster.

It roared loudly and rushed out from the beach, heading towards the blue sea in front.

For Aisha...

Shiny Metagross goes all out!

"Wow!"

Like a silver lightning speeding across the vast sea, the power of the Shining Giant Steel's advance split a deep trench in the sea.

"Goo?"

A Magikarp was caught off guard and was lifted out of the water by this force. It looked at the "hit-and-run" Shiny Metagross with a confused look on its face.

“Wu——!!”

Aisha, who was protected by the super power of the Shining Metagross and was able to sit steadily on its flat back, made a happy sound.

Although this voice sounds a lot like a Grand Servant from the next set...

"Whoo~"

Feeling the oncoming sea breeze blowing up her bangs and the hem of her clothes, and occasionally feeling the cool splashes of water on her face, Aixia looked refreshed.

I've seen a lot of sea...

This is the first time I’ve raced on the sea in a shiny Metagross!

"It's great."

Smelling the unique scent of the sea, Aisha felt relaxed.

In his spare time, he noticed the Pokémon that lived in the sea.

In addition to the common Magikarp, there are also horn goldfish and agate jellyfish.

Aisha even saw a few rare seahorses and sea lion pups.

As Shiny Metagross ran farther and farther away, they got closer and closer to Whirlpool Island, and powerful Pokémon such as Gyarados, Venomancer, and Magma that had evolved to their final evolutionary forms gradually emerged.

In the end, they even appeared in groups on the sea and in the sea, becoming a powerful maritime force.

Then......

They all turned into experience packs for Shiny Metagross.

“Me-ta-!!”

Roaring and firing a cannon beam that flashed with silver light, Shiny Metagross wiped out an army of stinging jellyfish in the distance.

Then, it increased its altitude and continued to move forward, arriving at a sea area full of huge, turbulent whirlpools rotating at high speed.

"arrive."

Seeing this unusually turbulent sea surface, Aisha stood up on the back of the Shining Metagross.

Aisha raised her head and looked at the unusually high mountains scattered on the sea ahead like broken land. The islands that she could only barely see on the beach of Qiancong City at first were now right in front of her.

An equally unusual current of water, forming whirlpools, flowed through the middle of several islands and mountains, forming a magical landscape - this was a huge whirlpool, similar to the lake surface in the deepest part of the Dragon's Cave, which could only be crossed by Pokémon using the Tide Whirl move. Their appearance told Aisha that they had entered the range of the Whirlpool Island.

"call......"

Taking a deep breath, Aisha was shocked by the spectacular scene that came into view.

"Nature's wonders, Loto..."

Rotom also came out to express his feelings.

"No." Upon hearing this, Aixia smiled and said, "The only magical scenery of Whirlpool Island is not something created by nature."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Rotom was stunned.

"In the final analysis."

At this time, the voice of the Phoenix King sounded in Aisha's ears.

"Brave man, I also don't understand why you suddenly came here. If you want to see the scenery, the scenery of the Water City is clearly better than this..."

Suddenly, Ho-Oh stopped talking.

It sensed a breath so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar under the sea, and the Phoenix King, who was curled up in the advanced ball around Aisha's waist, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Wait, hero, you—"

Its tone suddenly became anxious.

"Phoenix King."

But Aixia interrupted it and said, "I wonder if you would be interested in chatting with the god on the cover of your edition?"

"And... a sparring match?"

Chapter 518: Lugia Throws Himself into His Arms

Both are gods from the Johto region, and they serve as the cover gods of the four versions of the game, "Pokémon: Gold/Silver" and "Pokémon: HeartGold/SoulSilver".

The relationship between Ho-Oh and Lugia is a bit subtle...

It’s not that they are like the two cover gods of the Hoenn region, Groudon and Kyogre, who will rush to each other’s place as soon as they wake up to fight a fierce battle with each other, forming a rivalry that will never end.

However, Ho-Oh and Lugia are far from being the two cover gods of the Galar region. Sora Ayaka and Zangmarantu are a pair of close brothers and friends.

The remaining two pairs of cover gods...

'Ideal Dragon' Zekrom and 'True Dragon' Reshiram are forced to follow the contemporary Black Hero and White Hero in their battle due to their 'duty'.

Dialga, who controls "time", and Palkia, who controls "space", do not usually meet each other because the different spaces they sleep in are not adjacent to each other.

As for Xerneas and Yveltal...

These two inevitably have to stand on opposite sides because the laws of "life" and "destruction" they respectively control conflict with each other.

But Ho-Oh and Lugia do not fall into any of the above situations.

One of them controls the power of "life" and the other is the god of "ocean currents". Although both are first-level gods of flying-attribute Pokémon, their powers do not conflict, and the two will not be forced to stand on opposite sides and fight each other for various reasons.

The reason why Ho-Oh was unwilling to meet Lugia was actually just a minor and completely avoidable misunderstanding.

Correct.

Oolong...

As mentioned earlier, Ho-Oh and Lugia are both gods of the Johto region, and they enjoy equal worship and faith from the people of the Johto region.

Just like the King of Phoenix has a bell tower in Yuzu City, where he can enjoy the people's worship.

Once upon a time, Lugia, a city with a heavy historical atmosphere, also had a tower dedicated to it.

That tower was called the Bell Tower, and now it is called the Burnt Tower...

That's right.

The charred tower on the east side of Yuzu City was Lugia's residence before it was destroyed by a raging fire ignited by lightning from the sky.

Maybe Lugia didn't really live in the Bell Tower as the legend says, but it was still a place where believers worshipped it.

And... according to legend, the lightning that fell from the sky and ignited the fire and burned down the Bell Tower was the work of the Phoenix King in a moment of anger.

That is to say...

The Bell Tower turned into a burnt tower, all because of Ho-Oh's impulsive behavior!

At that time, three Pokémon were burned to death in the Bell Tower. Ho-Oh bestowed his blessing, resurrected them, and granted them magical powers, creating the present-day Ho-Oh Guard, which is the famous Three Sacred Beasts among the people, and solved the problem of casualties.

However, since then, Ho-Oh and Lugia have never met again.

Ho-Oh didn't know what kind of mentality and attitude he should have when meeting Lugia.

After all, it was I who destroyed the other party's tower in a moment of impulse...

According to my belief, I have ruined the other party's place.

Moreover, the people of Enju City are unable to understand the intentions of the gods and are afraid of angering the King of Phoenix again, so they still dare not restore the burnt tower and rebuild the bell tower.

Ho-Oh has never been able to bring himself to explain or apologize to Lugia.

Although it didn't know what Lugia thought about this.

But put yourself in their shoes. If someone suddenly burned down his bell tower and didn't give him an explanation until a hundred years later, Ho-Oh would also feel that the other person was provoking him and slapping him in the face.

If Ho-Oh encountered this situation, it would be a blessing that it did not use its sacred fire to burn to death on the spot this daring madman who dared to tamper with Tai Sui.

so......

Ho-Oh was even more afraid to meet Lugia.

This issue has been dragging on until now...

Today, Aisha brought Ho-Oh directly to Whirlpool Island to find Lugia.

Needless to say, Ho-Oh was feeling nervous and embarrassed.

and......

If Lugia knew that he was captured by a human trainer, his career as a god would be over, right?

In Aisha's advanced ball, Ho-Oh showed a dead look.

Reshiram and Zekrom might not care.

Because the 'Real Dragon' and the 'Ideal Dragon' themselves need to be paired with the White Hero and the Black Hero to be complete.

Moreover, the two of them, including Kyurem, the three stupid dragons, have no idea that they are gods.

In other words, the three dragons of Hezhong remained indifferent to the fact that they were conquered by Aisha throughout the whole process.

But Ho-Oh is different.

Although it really loves Aisha and his looks deeply.

At the same time, it was she who offered herself to be defeated by Aisha and became his Pokémon.

but......

After all, Ho-Oh is the god of life who has enjoyed people's worship and offerings for many years.

Its "noble" personality has been established, but now, it has become the Pokémon of a human child under the age of twenty.

this......

The contrast is too great.

It is not familiar with the three dragons of Unova and Rayquaza, so it doesn't matter when it lives with Aisha.

Celebi is just a child, so it doesn't matter if it knows.
