"Walk."
Mammon took a deep look at the huge black figure vaguely visible behind the waterfall and said to Kyogre.
Dark Lugia definitely can't be wrong about this.
Mammon was almost certain, although he didn't know why normal Lugia would 'reverse' into Dark Lugia.
But there is no doubt that this Dark Lugia is very powerful!
Just the dark aura that permeates it is so terrifying, which shows how strong its combat power is.
Just as Lugia's mother said, a hundred years ago, the dark aura of this slowly 'transforming' Lugia was already stronger than Yveltal, and could be compared to the liberation of Hoopa.
So the current Dark Lugia has at least reached the level of top legend.
Kyogre and Lugia's mother left the waterfall space. The strange aura left, and those dark auras that seemed to have life gradually shrank back behind the waterfall.
The pair of terrifying scarlet eyes slowly closed, and silence returned to the place again, with only the rushing waterfall flowing continuously.
Back to the sea.
"The situation seems to be more serious than we imagined. Lugia, are there any other Lugia in your clan?"
Mammon looked at the boundless sea and thought for a while, then asked Lugia's mother.
It was obvious that Lugia had a clan, but Mammon didn't know exactly how many Lugia there were.
And as of now, Dark Lugia's situation is obviously very bad.
Judging from the scene just now, the self-awareness of this Dark Lugia is probably about to disappear.
"Our clan is very small. If we use your human place names, our clan leader is currently in the waters over at the Orange Islands."
Lugia's mother replied to Mammon.
Is it the Lugia in the movie who is called the 'God of the Sea'?
Mammon thought about it after hearing this, and realized that if that was the case, there were actually only four Lugia in the family, and that included the baby Lugia.
But that's true. Although Lugia's combat power is not as good as those top legends, it is also a Pokémon that is loved by the world and stands at the top of the world.
The quantity cannot be too large.
And this number is already much better than the Rayquaza clan. There are only three Rayquazas in total. Of course, strictly speaking, Rayquaza is actually the most outrageous.
"Have you told your clan leader about this matter regarding your spouse?"
"No... I don't know how to explain it to the clan leader."
Lugia's mother shook her head in embarrassment. What should she say? She herself couldn't figure out what was happening to Lugia.
"I think you still need to talk to your clan leader. It would be best to ask it to come over and take a look. Maybe your clan leader knows what's going on with Lugia."
"Also, I think you'd better reinforce the seal on Lugia."
Mammon was speechless. Such a serious situation, and Lugia's mother hadn't even reported it to the Lugia leader...
Being able to be the clan leader also means that the Lugia should have more experience. Maybe it knows what happened to Dark Lugia.
If Mammon hadn't considered Lugia's mother's feelings, he would have really wanted to say that Lugia's mother's behavior was really stupid.
"I understand." Lugia's mother was still very receptive to advice.
"Also, you'd better guard that seal. If that Lugia completely loses its mind and attacks the seal, contact me immediately."
Mammon hesitated for a moment and then spoke to Lugia's mother.
Dark Lugia's condition was very bad. Mammon seriously doubted that Dark Lugia would not remain 'silent' for too long. The dark aura on it was too exaggerated.
Once the mind is completely devoured by darkness, Dark Lugia will surely break free from the seal and emerge into the world.
The entire Kanto region will suffer by then. With the strength of Dark Lugia, no one can stop Dark Lugia unless that old monster takes action.
"I know this too. I've actually been considering whether or not to contact Mew and Ho-Oh."
Lugia's mother naturally thought about this as well.
But to be honest, Lugia's mother still has little confidence in this.
"Please contact me when the time comes, and I will come to help you."
Mammon nodded. He was skeptical whether Mew and Ho-Oh could stop Dark Lugia.
After all, Ho-Oh is not good at attacking, and Mew... Mew's combat power is really a mystery. The only thing known at present is that its combat power is definitely stronger than Mewtwo, at least on the same level as normal Lugia and Ho-Oh.
But the Mewtwo in the movie was just born and awakened not long ago, so being stronger than Mewtwo is not a particularly impressive achievement.
Dark Lugia's combat power is guaranteed to be top-level legendary, not to mention such strong malice, its attributes are probably "reversed", and it must have evil attributes.
"Okay! Thank you, Mammon."
Mother Lugia was very grateful. Although she sensed that this human's heart wasn't very pure, Mother Lugia still liked him after getting to know him.
Because he really wants to help!!
Kyogre is very powerful. If its mate really loses control, having Kyogre's help can be an extra layer of protection.
But in reality…
"Mammon...if we really have to fight, I suggest you ask that little dragon to call its father over."
Kyogre's telepathy quietly connected to Mammon alone, and he said in his heart.
And the little dragon that Kyogre was referring to was exactly Requaza?
"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Mammon couldn't help but smile when he heard that.
Good heavens, he didn't expect that Kyogre would actually take the initiative to suggest that Black Rayquaza come to the rescue.
"How is that possible! I defeated Kyogre in Rayquaza!" Kyogre was very proud.
No confidence? No way! Combined with Mammon, it's invincible!
"But I don't know how to describe it, Mammon. That Lugia is incredibly strange. Its malicious intent terrifies me. If it gets out of control and we can't take it down quickly, this land could be in tatters."
Kyogre's telepathy was very solemn.
Except when facing Rayquaza and not being able to fly, Kyogre is still very rational at other times.
This land, is it Mammon's birthplace? Kyogre is quite concerned about it.
"I've been summoned by Hoopa before. Hoopa is very powerful, but I feel this Lugia's malice might be even stronger than Hoopa's."
A hundred years ago, Kyogre, who was sleeping, was once forcibly dragged out to fight by the liberated Hoopa using the Space Ring.
So Kyogre truly experienced the power of Hoopa Unleashed, although he didn't have much time to experience it before he was thrown back into the golden ring by Hoopa Unleashed.
The combat power of the liberated Hoopa is definitely top legendary, and the bug-like space golden ring makes it feel like a fish in water in battle.
But just talking about that terrifying dark aura, that Lugia is heavier than Hoopa's! This is outrageous.
"I see." Mammon thought thoughtfully.
They returned to Whirlpool Island with Lugia's mother and found little Lugia swimming happily along the shore, following the mechanical duck. Catlin looked at little Lugia with an aunt's smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Karen and Will were looking at the tiny silver feather subtly, probably wondering whether they could complete the task with this tiny feather.
May and Zuki were making a video call, and the people on the other end of the line were probably their sisters.
"Mammon, you're back."
Seeing Mammon coming back, Catlin immediately came forward and gave him a faint smile.
"Well, the situation is a bit complicated. I'll tell you later."
Mammon looked at Lugia's mother.
"Lugia, here's the thing. There's one more thing."
Mammon called the May sisters over and introduced them to Lugia.
"?" Lugia's mother tilted her head in confusion.
"They both come from Ecruteak City. Hundreds of years ago, their ancestors were shrine maidens who served Lugia and Ho-Oh."
Hearing this, Lugia's mother immediately understood and looked at May and Zuki silently.
That's right, Mother Lugia is the same Lugia that lived in the Bell Tower back then.
One hundred and fifty years ago, it returned to the waters of Xuanwo Island because it was extremely disappointed with the people of Ecruteak City.
And now seeing the descendants of the priestess who once served her devoutly, Lugia's mother must be feeling a little complicated.
"Greetings, Master Lugia."
May and Zuki hurriedly bowed and greeted Lugia's mother.
"For what happened in the Bell Tower, our ancestors have always wanted to apologize to you and Lord Ho-oh. We hope you can forgive us."
May's eyes were red as she bowed deeply to Lugia again with an extremely sincere tone.
"We have preserved the remains of the Bell Tower as a warning to ourselves. We have deeply reflected on our actions and hope you can forgive us."
Looking at the sincere May sisters, Mother Lugia sighed deeply.
"well..."
It is precisely because of expectations that there will be unforgettable disappointment.
Lugia and Ho-Oh are the same. They have always been looking forward to the emergence of invisible trust between humans and Pokémon.
However, whether in Ecruteak City or Whirlpool Island, humans always disappoint Lugia time and time again.
But even so, when humans encountered shipwrecks and danger, Lugia never stood idly by, but provided assistance.
What a kind and gentle Pokémon this is.
"I never blamed you, ever."
Mother Lugia's gentle telepathy reached the ears of the May sisters.
"It's just that at that time... maybe the time wasn't right after all."
Thinking of that night, Lugia's mother sighed again.
It and the Ho-Oh have lived in Ecruteak City for hundreds of years, and they have actually always been able to see each other.
"Get up! If you really want to, keep working hard. The future of Pokémon and humans also needs to be created by you humans."
Lugia's mother used her superpowers to gently help May and Tamao up, and her gentle words made the two girls in kimonos tear up.
What does it feel like?
May doesn't know how to describe it, but she feels inexplicably deeply moved.
After more than a hundred years, their clan finally waited for Lugia to say this.
"Lord Lugia, please trust us. We will carry on your will forever."
May held back her tears and made a firm promise to Lugia's mother.
Lugia's mother said nothing, but nodded at May with satisfaction in her eyes. She could feel that what the girl said was true.
Mammon watched the "reconciliation" between the May sisters and Lugia's mother, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little touched.
No matter what, it's great that this world has creatures like Pokémon.
Mammon has always been kind to Pokémon, which is one of his bottom lines.
"Mammon."
"I'm here, what's wrong, Lugia?"
Mammon looked at Lugia's mother, and at this moment, its eyes seemed to be struggling and hesitating.
"I..." Mother Lugia looked down at Little Lugia who was chasing the mechanical duck, but thinking of Dark Lugia, she made up her mind.
Next, it has to guard the seal of Dark Lugia, and it also has to go find the Lugia leader. There is really no other way.
"I would like you to take care of this child for me for a while."
