Chapter 226: Legendary Pokémon Map
After a refreshing breakfast, Ryan prepared to rest for a while. After all, the electric vehicle manufacturing had only just begun, and it would probably be some time before they could travel to Alola.
The guild matters were mostly settled, so it was time to go out and explore. Ryan instantly thought of something: the Legendary Pokémon Map.
The Legendary Pokémon Map was a reward from the system; using it would teleport Ryan to the corresponding location on the map. And that location was undoubtedly the dwelling place of a legendary Pokémon.
"System, can I bring one more person?" Ryan asked.
"Ding. 100 points required."
"No problem," Ryan said.
Then Ryan said to Lillie, "Lillie, let me take you out for some fun. It'll be a good way to relax."
"Where are we going? By plane?" Lillie asked after clearing the dishes.
"Just follow me. I'll bring a few Pokémon first, and see if they're willing to challenge some legendary Pokémon," Ryan said.
"Ugh... Another challenge against a legendary Pokémon?" Lillie said with a sigh. "Can't we just relax and clear our heads?"
"We might not even fight. There shouldn't be any powerful legendary Pokémon there," Ryan said.
After saying that, Ryan prepared to take a few Pokémon with him. Arriving outside on the second-floor platform, Charizard was training its daughter, its offspring with Garchomp. This Garchomp was quite strong and had become Lillie's main Pokémon.
After talking to Charizard, it promptly left its daughter's training and decided to follow Ryan to find the legendary Pokémon. Next, Ryan found Greninja, who was also willing to go. After all, being all alone and watching its companions with their mates made it feel lonely.
They then found a few more, and finally decided on: Charizard, Greninja, Kyogre, and Tyranitar.
The others were either on vacation or with their partners, and didn't have time to pay attention to Ryan. Ryan couldn't help but sigh, "When it comes to mates, everyone forgets about their trainer."
All the Pokémon: ...We weren't human to begin with!
After packing their things, Ryan and Lillie entered the room. Lillie looked at Ryan and asked, "How do we get there?"
"Just watch," Ryan replied. At the same time, he contacted the system, used a Legendary Pokémon Map, and paid an extra 100 points. The two of them disappeared from the room.
In the Fiore region, on a quiet beach, Ryan and Lillie appeared. Ryan looked around, but couldn't find any trace of legendary Pokémon.
"System? Where are the legendary Pokémon?" Ryan asked helplessly. There wasn't a single thing on the entire beach. Where would a legendary Pokémon come from?
"Ding. This system is only responsible for teleporting the host here. As for how to find the legendary Pokémon, that's your problem. Friendly reminder: The legendary Pokémon's state varies from Pokémon Egg to adult legendary Pokémon, and everything is random."
Ryan: ...
He sighed. Ryan didn't think about anything else and took out the electronic map to check where he was. After checking, he found that he was in the Fiore region, a small area near the Sinnoh region.
"This place doesn't really appear in the Pokémon anime. Did I miss something?" Ryan pondered for a long time, but he really didn't recognize the place.
"Ryan, where is this?" Lillie asked. Although she didn't recognize the place and there weren't many people around, she didn't feel anything was wrong.
"Let me check. I just looked it up, this is the Fiore region. It seems my psychic teleportation brought us here," Ryan said. "Lillie, do you know this place?"
"Oh, the Fiore region. I read about it in a book. It's close to Sinnoh, and Poké Balls aren't commonly sold or used in the Fiore region. People often keep their Pokémon with them and take care of them directly. It's said that the Fiore region is located in a mountainous area, with four towns in the plains, each representing a season. Judging from the beach and temperature we're at now, it should be near Summerland," Lillie said after thinking for a moment.
Ryan listened quietly, only one thought in his mind: Indeed, Lillie's knowledge is incredible!
However, after Lillie's words, Ryan remembered that this should be the area in the Pokémon Ranger game, only mentioned once in the manga, about Manaphy. In a special chapter of the manga, someone had come to the Fiore region and obtained a Manaphy Egg.
That is to say: this sea area is very likely to contain a Manaphy Egg!
"Ding. Congratulations, host, you have found the correct target. Target is being displayed. Target is moving."
With the system notification, a sea chart appeared in front of Ryan, and a red dot moved rapidly in one direction.
"Lillie, let's go underwater! We're chasing something!" Ryan said.
Without even having time to explain further, he took out two underwater breathing devices, handed one to Lillie, and then released Kyogre. The two jumped onto Kyogre's back, and Kyogre happily flicked its tail and dove towards the seabed.
Ryan guided Kyogre, and Kyogre quickly moved forward with the ocean current.
"Hmm. This feeling of familiarity... could it be from that movie?" Ryan lay on Kyogre's back, thinking about a Pokémon Egg drifting with the current... it felt like he'd seen it somewhere before!
Lillie wrote on Ryan's hand: What's the hurry?
Ryan wrote on Lillie's hand: Manaphy, or rather, a Manaphy Egg.
Lillie: How come there's a "Prince of the Sea" here?
Ryan: I don't know, but I sense that this Pokémon Egg is moving with the ocean current.
Lillie: Have you ever heard of the Sea Crown?
Ryan instantly remembered—it was from the movie! Ash and his friends were traveling, and the timing could match. If the Manaphy Egg continued to drift, it would probably encounter Phantom's giant submarine.
But hopefully, it wouldn't happen that fast; otherwise, Ryan wouldn't mind sending them to the ocean depths.
As Ryan was thinking this, a massive submarine was slowly approaching their location a few nautical miles directly ahead.
"Target spotted, heading southeast with the current."
"Good. Advance immediately, I need to recover it," a voice said.
"However, there's a huge energy reading behind the target, it's very likely heading towards the target as well."
"What? Sink it! Torpedoes, prepare to fire!"
"Understood."
The massive submarine opened its bottom hatch, and more than a dozen torpedoes were launched towards Ryan and his group!
