Looking at The Legendary Birds' introduction, Lucas shrugged.
"I can't do anything about it."
Hearing Lucas's words, Lugia gently flapped its wings.
It didn't blame Lucas.
A voice echoed in Lucas's mind again.
"Lucas, let's make a pact."
Why did it suddenly bring up a pact?
Lucas found Lugia's erratic train of thought a bit hard to accept.
"Next time, the incidents they cause will be handled by you."
"Your human Champions are very strong."
"Perhaps, after they experience the power of humans, they will change."
Lucas frowned.
"You know I can restrain them, but it's only temporary."
Lugia looked at the young man under the moonlight, recalling a person it knew in another world.
Although their strengths differed greatly, their connection with Pokémon was equally profound.
Therefore, it decided to let Lucas try.
And he seemed to have some connection with the Champion of the Sinnoh region.
"As long as you can go and stop them, I will grant you one wish."
"No matter the means."
"Just once is enough; if it still doesn't work, then I will handle it in the future."
Listening to Lugia's continuous words, Lucas fell into thought.
The Legendary Birds have a great impact on people's lives.
Zapdos can cause an entire city to lose power, Moltres can ignite forest fires, and Articuno can lower the temperature.
If he could solve their problems, perhaps they would be more restrained afterward.
Regarding strength, if he communicated with Cynthia and the others before departing, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After all, The Legendary Birds are not like Lugia or the Sinnoh Creation Trio, whose strengths are incredibly absurd.
Finally, Lucas nodded.
"Alright, I promise you."
"I knew I wouldn't misjudge you, Lucas."
"You are very much like him."
"Him? Ash?"
"Ash? A familiar name."
Lucas's eyes widened.
"Are you talking about that young boy with a hat and a Pikachu by his side?"
Lugia suddenly remembered that boy.
A boy who also held infinite possibilities.
He and his companions helped it a lot.
Even the problem with The Legendary Birds, one time, was thanks to him and his friends, and Pokémon helping it solve it.
"But it wasn't him."
Not Ash? Then who could it be?!
Besides Ash, is there anyone else in this world?
It couldn't be those two, could it?
The protagonists in color.
"Who?"
Lugia smiled.
"It seems others call him the Trainer, and his friend, the Battler."
Lucas suddenly understood.
"But the quiet one is very much like Ash."
Lucas laughed along with Lugia's voice.
Ah, those two, then it makes sense.
But according to Lugia, it had been to their world?
The ability to freely break through dimensional barriers.
Is it that Pokémon?
"You've been to their world? I mean, Red and Green."
Lugia was shocked by Lucas's words.
"You, how do you know their names?"
"I don't think I told you their names."
Lucas's heart tightened, then he gently pursed his lips.
"Because I know them."
It's just that they don't know me.
Lucas thought secretly.
Lugia stared intently at Lucas for a while.
Then it nodded.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
"Did you help them solve that Pokémon?"
"That Hoopa."
Lugia became even more puzzled, as if he knew everything about these matters.
However, it still shook its head.
"Their strength doesn't require my help; I just had a fight with that Pokémon."
Lugia spoke lightly, and Lucas looked at the Lugia before him.
As expected of Lugia.
Its strength is still so consistent.
"Alright, it's settled then."
Lugia's body rose.
"Lucas, I will always be watching you. I believe in you."
After Lugia finished speaking, it flew towards the ocean, following the moonlight.
The Legendary Birds all looked at Lucas in unison.
Then they followed Lugia.
Disappearing from the Breeding House, disappearing under the moonlight.
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's alright everyone, go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be back to normal."
Lucas shouted loudly.
Then he and Gengar stood on the balcony, looking at the Pokémon in the backyard.
Finally, the Pokémon looked at the lights on the balcony and the figures of Lucas and Gengar.
They fell asleep peacefully.
Lucas smiled, gazing at the backyard.
But his attention was drawn to the text before him.
[Pact: The next incident caused by The Legendary Birds will be resolved by you.]
?
Didn't it say that we humans would resolve it?
[After Lugia made a pact with you, it left you some gifts.]
[Gift 1: Favorable Weather]
[Your Breeding House will have distinct seasons: warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn, and cold winter. It will be unaffected by harsh weather, and crop Growth speed will increase.]
[Gift 2: Echo of the Sea]
[The ocean currents and sea breezes seem to carry winds related to the Breeding House. The Breeding House's reputation will resonate in the hearts of Pokémon overseas. Listen carefully; old friends seem to be visiting.]
[You have received Lugia's promise.]
[Lugia's Promise: Call me near the ocean.]
Lucas returned to the house, looking at the text before him, lying on the bed, quietly lost in thought.
As expected of you, Lugia.
Even the descriptions of the gifts left behind are so elegant. Thinking that Lugia is Psychic/Flying, but the Psychic moves it can learn are incredibly few. Conversely, it masters mostly Dragon and Water moves.
As expected of Lugia.
Under the moonlight on the other side, Lugia arrived at the center of the ocean and plunged down.
Watching Lugia's disappearing figure, The Legendary Birds exchanged glances, then each went in their own direction.
During its flight deep in the ocean towards the Galar region.
It recalled its pact with Lucas.
His bond with Pokémon is incredibly deep.
This is why it thought of making this pact with him.
Plus, he seems to know those two.
Lugia smiled at this thought.
Lucas.
It softly uttered the name.
[Lugia's Friendship: Lugia has recognized you and established a friendship with you.]
[Water-type Pokémon in the Breeding House will grow better and will more easily master Water-type moves.]
[Forest and Ocean, Trees and Monsoons and Ocean Currents: Celebi and Lugia have both left gifts in the Breeding House. They met in distant times and seem to have established a friendship.]
[The gifts they left have formed a connection.]
[Favorable Weather (ma): The Breeding House will have flowers suitable for each season. The appropriate climate and suitable flowers will bring changes to the Breeding House's Pokémon. Their moods will be greatly uplifted, mental trauma issues will be largely healed, the effect of herbal medicines will double, berry yields will double, and vegetable taste will double.]
[Old Friends: Distant friends, although we haven't met for a long time, we are still friends. But now, through the connection of the Breeding House, we have sensed each other.]
["Old Friends": Your cooking will have a higher chance of triggering a "Gourmet Critical Hit." The Gourmet Critical Hit effects of Gengar (Mighty, Strong, Powerful), Lilligant, Vespiquen, Mime Jr., Vulpix, Gothorita, Roselia, and Marill are enhanced.]
["Old Friends": Your luck will be increased.]
[Will last for a period of time.]
"Chirp?"
Celebi looked at the small wooden tag around its neck.
It sensed another one of its friends.
It happily flew a few circles in place.
"?"
Lugia paused.
Then it continued its journey.
It felt that it had established a connection with Lucas.
"Lucas, the price of establishing a connection with a deity—"
And Lucas, looking at the newly appeared text.
"I—"
He opened his mouth, utterly astonished.
This—
Can it even link up like this?
Cheat, awesome—(voice cracking!)
Although most of the effects are for the Breeding House.
But, if the Breeding House benefits, doesn't that mean he benefits too?
Lucas smiled knowingly.
