After seeing Marill off, Lucas once again focused on his fishing rod.
It was still calm.
Lucas was almost dozing off.
Especially Gengar, who, every time he caught a fish, would hug it and show off in front of Lucas... That annoying Gengar!
Lucas kept muttering in his heart.
Thirty years east, thirty years west; don't mock a fisherman with an empty catch!
Once he caught a fish, he would definitely retaliate.
Gengar, just you wait.
As he waited, the sun began to set in the west.
Lucas had given up struggling.
What's going on? Am I not a fishing genius? How could I come up empty-handed? Lucas was secretly saddened in his heart.
Lilligant noticed a huge shadow appearing at the bottom of the sea.
Then Lucas pulled up his hook.
The shadow from the seabed flew out of the water with Lucas's hook.
It hovered above the yacht, its wings spread like claws.
Lucas looked at the white Pokémon in front of him.
He was a bit shocked.
Was he like that other person, who fished up Kyogre, and he fished up… it?
Until the fishing hook hung limply in front of him.
Gengar dropped his fishing rod and instantly floated in front of Lucas, looking at the Pokémon before them.
He held a Shadow Ball in his hand.
Lilligant and the others also arrived by Lucas's side immediately.
"La ji!"
She held an Energy Ball in her hand.
Gothorita's eyes glowed with a strange light, Vulpix's fur became even redder, Mime Jr.'s eyes also emitted light, and Marill sat on her tail, even Roselia was preparing to act.
Looking at the hostility these Pokémon radiated towards it.
The Pokémon curiously lowered its head.
It looked at Lucas in front of it.

[Don't let me catch you guys – Lugia]
Looking at the giant Pokémon in front of him, its belly was light blue, its tail fins were blue, and the rest of its body was white. It had fangs on its lower jaw, and blue, mask-like structures around its eyes. Its wings resembled a giant hand.
According to folk legends in the Sinnoh region, it possesses astonishing power capable of calming turbulent seas. It is said that if it flaps its wings, it can cause a storm lasting 40 days.
Lucas recalled that Lugia used to be called the Sea God, but later its title was changed to the God of Ocean Currents and Winds.
Unlike Celebi, the God of the Forest, Lugia, as the God of Ocean Currents and Winds, possesses immense power.
This can be seen from the moves it has mastered on its status panel.
Its battle with Hoopa also demonstrated this.
Its strength is worthy of its title as the God of Ocean Currents and Winds.
Its subordinates are The Legendary Birds.
Could it be that The Legendary Birds are stirring up trouble somewhere again, and it, as their elder brother, is forced to go and stop them?
No wonder it's described as troubled and annoyed right now.
Its well-deserved rest time was interrupted by The Legendary Birds.
Lucas thought back, it seemed The Legendary Birds had the most appearances among all Legendary Pokémon, and each time they appeared, they inevitably caused abnormal weather or other incidents.
Moreover, it is said that there are more than just three of The Legendary Birds.
Lucas thought of this, then looked at Lugia.
Through the status panel, he could tell that Lugia harbored no ill will.
Therefore, he relaxed.
Even if there was hostility, they were on a boat right now and couldn't do anything.
If the boat were overturned, everything would be hopeless.
Unless he could hold out until Cynthia arrived.
Lucas patted Gengar and Lilligant, signaling that everything was fine.
Gengar looked at Lucas.
The Shadow Ball in his hand disappeared.
At the same time, the other Pokémon also returned to their original state.
But they still stood in front of Lucas.
They planned to make their move after Lugia left.
Lucas waited for a long time.
Lugia did not leave.
Instead, it curiously watched him and Gengar.
Finally, its gaze settled on Lilligant.
It sensed a familiar aura from Lilligant.
Was it Celebi's aura?
It had once met a Celebi and later became friends with it.
Now, Lucas and his Pokémon all carried Celebi's aura to varying degrees.
This made it somewhat curious.
Therefore, it lingered for a while longer.
It glanced at Lucas, committing his appearance to memory.
Then it flapped its wings, preparing to leave.
"Perhaps giving The Legendary Birds a good beating would be more effective."
Hearing the voice that reached its ears, Lugia stopped its movement.
"Human, do you know what I am going to do?"
A gentle voice echoed in Lucas's mind.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was the psychic communication of these deities?
"Your appearance is either due to abnormal weather changes or because of The Legendary Birds."
Lucas said in his heart.
There was no helping it, Lugia was too cool. After realizing Lugia had no ill will, he couldn't help but speak up.
Lugia chuckled softly in Lucas's mind.
Then it flapped its wings, instantly vanishing from Lucas and the others' sight.
The entire speedboat swayed from side to side due to the wind it generated.
Until it stabilized.
"Boss—Boss, what kind of Pokémon was that just now? So scary."
Rhys only dared to ask Lucas after Lugia had disappeared.
"The God of Ocean Currents and Winds, Lugia, formerly also known as the Sea God."
Listening to Lucas's words, Rhys's eyes widened.
At the same time, the other people on deck, after Lugia disappeared, also curiously started chatting.
Some were excited, some were scared.
Lucas listened to their words, then looked at Rhys.
"Rhys, let's go back."
Staying any longer might lead to more unexpected events.
"Oh, alright."
Rhys didn't say another word, packed up his things, and went to start the boat.
Meanwhile, the distant Lugia once again submerged into the sea, flying towards the shore.
Lucas's words echoed in its mind.
It decided to try Lucas's method.
It was originally in the distant Galar region, and now it was forced to return to the Sinnoh region.
Don't let me catch you.
The Legendary Birds of the Sinnoh region.
Lugia thought of this and suddenly flapped its wings.
The seabed churned with turbulent waves.
But in the next second, Lugia vanished from the seabed.
Then, a circle of light slowly disappeared.
Lugia looked at the unfamiliar scene before it.
Lugia: ?
