Chapter 342 Lugia's Gift, God Realm Peak-Level Substitute!
The tumultuous Orange Islands incident has finally come to a close today, ending with the arrest of Pluto and Hostar.
Lugia eventually returned to normal, and the remaining dark power within its body was completely expelled. The restored Lugia expressed its gratitude to Ash and the others.
Even Lugia himself hadn't expected that he would be so easily controlled by humans. On one hand, he was indeed careless, and on the other hand, he underestimated Yveltal's power. When faced with that clearly malevolent force, he actually chose to use his superpowers to resist, which was incredibly stupid.
Even though He clearly sensed that the power of the ashes rushing towards Him carried malevolent energy, He still subconsciously chose to use his superpowers to deal with it. Perhaps it was because of too much peace that His fighting spirit had diminished.
In addition, the capture of Pluto and Hoshiguma has also drawn great attention from the League. These two are extremely dangerous individuals. They not only set a trap to imprison Cynthia, but also attacked Lugia and the three legendary birds, and ultimately succeeded.
This is something even the Rockets couldn't do.
If Ash and Mewtwo hadn't been there this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Lugia and the three legendary birds would have been controlled, and the world would have lost four divine beings at once. How chaotic would the world have become?
In addition to the three basic divine duties, there is also the divine duty of ocean currents. The disturbance of ocean currents will cause the ocean to riot, at which time the whole world will experience irreversible phenomena.
So it's no exaggeration to say that Ash saved the world this time. Nobody knows what Team Galactic wants. Even if Pluton and Starp are arrested, the League won't be able to get anything out of them for a while.
The submarine built by Team Galactic had a positive impact on the scientific and technological development of the League. However, when Pluton was captured by Mewtwo, it seemed that he felt he had no way to escape, so he deleted all the data recorded in the submarine.
Information about other members of Team Galactic, their base, and their leader has all been deleted, and it's impossible to recover it.
It can only be said that Hades is courageous and loyal enough that even if he were captured, he would never implicate his leader or the other members of Team Galactic.
The League originally planned to use psychic Pokémon to hypnotize Pluto and Hoshino in order to extract information from Team Galactic. However, after hypnotizing them, they discovered that their memories of this part of the story would be automatically blocked if they were hypnotized with psychic powers.
The League also brought in Gadria, the most powerful psychic in the Unova region and one of the Elite Four. Together with her spirit, they used her to force-hypnotize Pluto and the others. The final conclusion was that if they tried to extract their sealed memories, they would be destroyed by the tricks they had left behind!
"Better to be a broken jade than a whole tile." Team Galactic is ruthless towards Pokémon, ruthless towards others, and even more ruthless towards themselves!
From this glimpse, we can see what kind of organization Team Galactic really is. Their leader might be an even more terrifying tyrant than Giovanni. Despite capturing an entire branch of Team Galactic, they still couldn't find out the leader's name. Their secrecy is truly terrifying.
Team Galactic is a cancer in the Sinnoh region, much like Team Rocket in Kanto and Johto. Moreover, the Sinnoh region doesn't even know who Team Galactic's leader is, so they can't even make any negotiations.
Team Galactic has now set its sights on legendary Pokémon, and has succeeded more than once. Even Lugia, a top-tier Pokémon, has fallen victim to their schemes. As I said before, without Ash, this time it would have been all over.
However, Ash's contribution was kept under wraps, since Mewtwo's existence couldn't be exposed. On the surface, Lorelei and Cynthia still handled the incident. As for whether Pluton and the others would reveal anything about Mewtwo, there's no need to worry.
As the defeated party, are they really expected to voluntarily recount how they were beaten like dogs?
The trail with Team Galactic has gone cold, while Ash's side—
[Advanced Ash: ——— In the blink of an eye, the Champion commanded Mewtwo to shatter Lugia's Aerial Blast in a flash, then restored Lugia to normal, and subsequently even took control of Stardust and the others. That was so cool! The Champion's Mewtwo is incredibly well-trained!]
Xiao Zhi is currently vividly recounting the events of this incident to the many big shots in the group. Although they were not involved, they are still quite gossipy, as Xiao Zhi's experiences are somewhat different in each parallel world.
It's possible they all encountered Lugia, but some encountered it directly, some encountered it in the city, and some even encountered the enemy Lugia summoned by the Super Demon God in the Kalos region.
There are all sorts of ways to meet someone, and the event that Ash encountered this time is unique in their timeline.
In other timelines, Team Galactic was never involved in the events on the Orange Islands, let alone manipulated the three legendary birds, reversed their forms, or even controlled Lugia.
Through Xiao Zhi's vivid narration, many of the group's big shots learned about what Xiao Zhi had encountered.
[Ash the breeder: I really didn't expect that what happened in your timeline was so bizarre. Team Galactic actually set up camp in the Orange Islands and even used Yveltal's power to control Lugia. This is much stranger than what Lugia has encountered in other timelines.]
[Aura Warrior Ash: This isn't just bizarre, it's downright grotesque! If it weren't for this chat group, I don't know how a newbie would have handled this crisis. In most of our timelines, when we encounter Lugia in the early stages, it's usually a helper. But for a newbie, not only do they have to face the corrupted legendary birds, but also a corrupted Lugia. Tsk tsk, is this a hellish difficulty dungeon?]
[Tactical Master Ash: Indeed, I remember encountering Lugia on Asia Island. However, back then, I commanded Lugia against the three legendary birds, defeating them almost effortlessly. But if the tables were turned, and I were to command those three birds against Lugia, my chances of winning would probably be less than 10%.]
[Ash the Evolver: After all, the Legendary Birds and Lugia are not even in the same league. Generally speaking, the Legendary Birds can only reach the early stage of the Divine Realm. It's estimated that only one of the Legendary Birds can advance to the middle stage of the Divine Realm, but for Lugia, the strongest among them must be at the peak of the Divine Realm.]
[Xiao Zhi, the Evolved One: The gap between the early and peak stages of the God Realm should be even greater than the distance between the Heavenly King and the God Realm. The latter can be blown away by a single breath, while the former has to crawl and roll. After reaching the God Realm level, it's not so easy to jump to a higher level, let alone from the early stage to the peak. It's nothing short of a pipe dream.]
[Ash, the Unlucky One: Yeah, although you usually have good luck with draws and Pokémon encounters, you were really unlucky this time. If it weren't for the Champion's help, you guys would probably have been wiped out. Even if you had escaped by sheer luck, Lugia would already be Team Galactic's for the taking, and the harm to the world would have been obvious.]
[Advanced Ash: Yeah, this time it's all thanks to the Champion, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do.]
Fortunately, he drew the one-time reward, Sky Age, otherwise even he would be helpless against Lugia, as the Divine Realm level is already the top level in the Pokémon world.
Pokémon that can reach this level are extremely rare, but is he lucky or unlucky? Ironically, he encountered four of these rare Pokémon in one go during the Orange Islands event!
Thankfully, they didn't all come at once, otherwise Ash would probably have called for reinforcements right from the start, especially since it was a Mega Mewtwo.
Evolution might be able to deal with two divine birds, but it would be quite difficult to deal with three.
He encountered four mythical beasts that ordinary people could never see at all. Isn't that a kind of luck?
[Champion Ash: Hehe, stop praising me. Even without my help, I believe the newcomer could have turned the tide. And ultimately, if it weren't for the chat group, the newcomer wouldn't have faced Giovanni so early, and Team Rocket wouldn't have disbanded, allowing Team Galactic to take over.]
[Champion Xiaozhi: So this is actually a chain reaction. While chat groups give newcomers the power to grow quickly, they also squeeze out their time to grow.]
The champion Ash's logic is very clear. Although he was the one who resolved the crisis this time, in reality, if Ash hadn't obtained the chat group, he wouldn't have encountered this crisis at all.
The Galactic Team in Ash's current world feels very unfamiliar to him. In other worlds, including his own, while the Galactic Team is technologically advanced, they are not this powerful, and they have never touched Yveltal's power.
Why Team Galactic in Ash's world has Yveltal's power is still a mystery. Team Galactic's target should be the two legendary gods of Sinnoh, so how did it become Yveltal?
This may be related to the chain reaction caused by the newcomer Ash. From now on, Ash's journey is developing in a way that is different from any parallel universe, and Ash will also walk his own unique path.
[Ash the Unlucky: The champion is right. This is also a butterfly effect caused by the chat group. In my timeline, or even in other people's timelines, how could Team Galactic be so strong? By the way, you saved Lugia, did Lugia leave you anything? Given the legendary Pokémon's nature of repaying kindness, it should have left something, right?]
[Advanced Ash: Yes, Lugia—he left baby Lugia with me, and he also gave me a silver feather. According to Lugia, that feather can not only serve as a ticket to challenge him in the future, but also, when encountering danger or needing to take action, I can infuse the feather with Aura, and he will sense it and come immediately.]
[Advanced Ash: In addition, placing feathers on Flying and Psychic-type Pokémon can increase their sensitivity to type power, allowing them to learn new moves of these two types more quickly. It also increases their own strength at a faster rate, and amplifies the power of both types by about 30% to 40%.]
[Non-European Xiao Zhi: ————]
[Nurturer Xiaozhi: ————]
[Satoshi, the Evolved One: ————]
【————】
As Ash explained, a series of ellipses appeared in the chat group. Apart from the champion Ash, everyone felt that Ash's gains this time were simply too outrageous.
Damn it, the effect of a single feather feels like buying supplies from a legendary Pokémon's lair. It reduces the difficulty of learning new moves, increases the attack power of two type moves, and grants a chance to challenge Lugia. If you can gain Lugia's approval in the battle, Lugia will become Ash's Pokémon.
This kind of battle doesn't require defeating Lugia. If you want to defeat a Pokémon at the peak of the Legendary Realm, even if Ash's side has the same peak Legendary Realm Pokémon, it would take a whole day and night to fight, and there's still no guarantee of a winner.
So this battle is just an opportunity for Lugia to acknowledge Ash. Even if it doesn't defeat him, it doesn't matter. As long as Ash can gain Lugia's recognition in that battle, then Lugia will become Ash's Pokémon.
Then comes the last use of the Silver Feather – to call for reinforcements!
Having the Silver Feather is equivalent to having a bodyguard from the peak of the Divine Realm!
With Lugia's peak strength, it wouldn't take long to cross half the Earth. If Ash summons Lugia when he senses something is wrong, Lugia should arrive in no more than three minutes.
While this is less secure than the insurance provided by Age of Triumph, Ash doesn't currently possess the Age of Triumph move. Furthermore, since Lugia made this promise, it means that while fighting for Ash, it is Ash's Pokémon.
In other words, if Ash wants to battle a legendary Pokémon, then Lugia can be used as Ash's Pokémon to battle, which will not violate the rules.
If Ash were to use the power of Ages to capture legendary Pokémon—though it sounds a bit awkward, it's not Ash's own power after all. If it's used to deal with a crisis or a battle that he has to win, then it's fine to use it however he wants. But when it comes to capturing Pokémon, using Ages would be too reliant on it.
Therefore, Lugia's move can serve as a backup plan for those who want to capture top-tier Pokémon in the future, such as Rayquaza!
