Chapter 444: Chapter 444: The Reports
Chapter 444: The Reports
The first thing Mew did upon arriving was ask for Hikaru's phone.
Hikaru handed it over without a second thought.
It had recently become obsessed with mobile games.
But there was no internet service in the Qinling Mountains, so it could only come to Hikaru's place to play.
After he gave it the phone, Manaphy also seemed to take an interest, so the two little ones went off to play mobile games together.
Latias glanced at Hikaru, and seeing that he was chatting with Xue Nai, she also transformed into her human form and followed Manaphy.
Seeing that Hikaru and Xue Nai were about to leave, Athena couldn't help but ask:
"Hikaru, what exactly did you demand from the organization?"
"Just a few stones, don't be anxious," Hikaru said without turning back.
Xue Nai had originally felt a little sorry for Athena, as Hikaru ignored her every day, she only had compressed biscuits to eat, and her living conditions were poor.
But after learning that this woman had nearly taken Hikaru's life, she no longer paid her any mind.
"Junior, let's go. Help me check on my Alolan Ninetales. It seems like it's about to become a Master-level Pokémon."
"Okay..."
...
While Hikaru and his senior were enjoying their leisure time, the outside world was in an uproar because of their actions.
First was Lugia's rampage in Feng City, a scene like the end of the world that once again made the world realize the power of Legendary Pokémon.
At the same time, the fact that the greenish snake-like Pokémon could trade blows with Lugia sparked heated discussions.
"Damn, are Legendary Pokémon that strong?"
"Blessing and disaster are intertwined. Feng City prospered because of Lugia, and now it falls into decline because of Lugia..."
"By the way, what is this greenish snake Pokémon? I saw it form from many green points of light."
"It turned back into points of light after the fight... Is this Pokémon formed by condensation?"
"This must also be a Legendary Pokémon. I'm begging the officials to release its name. I have a feeling this isn't its full power!"
"Speaking of which, why did Lugia get so angry? And how did its anger subside?"
The online debate didn't last long.
The Pokémon League officials soon explained the entire source of the incident.
First, the reason for Lugia's anger—members of Team Crystal had provoked it in its sea territory.
But the officials did not report the specific reason.
Then, the "great snake" Pokémon was officially named Zygarde.
It was the legendary God of Order.
Whenever an ecosystem was threatened, it would appear to stop the destruction.
Moreover, this was merely its fifty-percent form.
This announcement gave netizens plenty to talk about, with everyone speculating on just how powerful the complete God of Order would be.
But an announcement that followed immediately left everyone stunned.
"The tsunami initiated by Lugia was successfully calmed, and Lugia's anger was assuaged through the guidance of young trainer Hikaru's Power of Viridian, saving Feng City from disaster."
The report also included a picture.
In the storm, a bright red shadow.
"What?"
"Hikaru? Is that the Hikaru I'm thinking of?"
"This red shadow, who else could it be but God Hikaru's Latias?"
"Damn... at eighteen years old, he's already saving an entire region..."
"It's not just that... recently, in the crackdown on the illegal capture of Pokémon, several Elite Four-level trainers were catching Pokémon indiscriminately on the southern islands, and it was Hikaru who dealt with them..."
"Huh? That happened too?"
"How long has it been since the Youth League ended..."
...
While everyone was excitedly discussing these events, only a young girl far away in Kyoto complained, "He's always going to such dangerous places..."
In a word, some people only care about your achievements, while others care about the efforts you make behind those achievements.
Two months passed in a flash.
Immersive training itself provides a huge boost to Pokémon.
What's more, Hikaru had brought a large pile of resources from the Elixir Bureau.
His senior's Alolan Ninetales had indeed advanced to the Master level, now at level 52.
Her Greninja and Gardevoir successfully advanced to the Elite Four level.
The other Pokémon also had their own encounters and made significant progress.
After staying on the island for half a month, Hikaru was already considering when to change locations.
As you could see, Latias was now spending her days drawing pictures on the surface of the water, only cracking a smile when Manaphy occasionally came over.
It was worth mentioning that Manaphy had once again secretly used the energy crystals from the Undersea Temple, bringing out a few from time to time for the smaller Pokémon to absorb.
Hikaru had asked if this would have any effect on the Undersea Temple.
The latter just said, "I'm in control of the Undersea Temple now. This little bit of energy, I can absorb it back in an instant."
So Hikaru no longer refused.
Speaking of which, these energy crystals were indeed of great benefit to Pokémon below the Master level.
Bulbasaur successfully reached the Master level.
"Saur, saur!"
It happily told Hikaru that with this level of strength, it would have been considered very powerful in its old colony.
Hikaru patted its head. "Keep it up. Sooner or later, you'll catch up to Salamence and send it flying."
Although the road was still long, Bulbasaur firmly believed that day would come.
Gabite and Dragonair, "fed" on the energy crystals, both reached the threshold of the Master level.
They were just one step away from evolution.
But Dragonair still didn't plan to evolve, and Hikaru didn't force it.
"Nyuu mu~"
It was currently on the beach practicing the move Electroweb...
The crackling electric net was actually woven into the shape of a flower by it, and it even brought it over to Hikaru to ask if it looked good...
"It's pretty, very pretty..."
And then... there was no follow-up.
It wasn't until Alolan Ninetales had a whim and sprinkled flakes of ice crystals, which landed on the yellow electric net and shimmered together, that it became truly splendid.
Only then did Hikaru genuinely praise them, "If you two cooperate, you could really enter a Pokémon Contest!"
"Then shall we both enter together sometime?" his senior said with interest from the side.
Hikaru shivered. "Let's just forget about that."
Pursuing the flashiness of moves felt like a distraction from his proper work.
This peaceful life, however, was bound to be broken.
And the catalyst that broke it was a special message sent from the Pokémon League.
The bid for the location of the World Pokémon Championships!
The Pokémon Championships are held every four years, with the last one being two years ago.
But the location for every Pokémon League Championship had always been in the M Region.
This was because, with the exception of the last two tournaments, the champions of most Pokémon League Championships had been from the M Region.
This year was different.
This year, the Huaxia region also wanted to compete for the right to host the championships.
Under such circumstances, it was natural to prepare in advance.
What was very interesting was that the bidding standard unanimously agreed upon by the major nations was to let their own young trainers decide where this year's championship location would ultimately fall.
