Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Luo Wei nodded, and reached into his backpack to take out the radiant Sun Flute...

...There was a rather troublesome problem, which was that Luo Wei himself had never learned to play the flute, so he didn't even know what to do with it when he picked it up.

However, after thinking for a moment, Luo Wei directly tried to send the ultimate power into the flute...

...As expected, the flute reacted immediately after absorbing the ultimate power. Then, Luo Wei brought the flute to his lips and, with the idea of ​​giving it a try no matter what, played the flute.

As soon as the first syllable sounded, ultimate power immediately began to erupt uncontrollably from Luo Wei's body. The scale of this ultimate power eruption far surpassed any previous one, and was simply incomparable to anything before...

A massive amount of golden light gathered around the speedboat carrying Rowe and the old man Hachi, carving out a golden sun totem amidst the raging storm waves!

Luo Wei felt the continuous surge of power. If it weren't for the fact that he had fused with the power of Mega Evolution in advance and was able to drive this power almost without any obstacles by balancing the two powers, Luo Wei estimated that he would not have been able to withstand such a power burst.

It can only be said that he was able to sound the flute of the sun at this moment entirely thanks to the gains he had accumulated before!

As the Sun Flute was played, the melodious tune, accompanied by the sun totem constructed of golden light and the surge of ultimate power, triggered an anomaly on the other side.

"Eh?"

Lillie felt her handbag, which she never parted with, begin to shake violently.

Of course she knew what was going on; the bag contained her companion, Little Nebula, who seemed to be reacting to the Flute of the Sun!

Little Nebula really likes Rowe. Several times before, when something unusual happened to Rowe, Little Nebula reacted differently. At the time, it seemed that Little Nebula was hoping to do something through Rowe.

At this moment, Lillie could feel a strong sense of joy and happiness emanating from Nebula. If that were the case, it would mean that what Nebula had been hoping for from Rowe was that Rowe would play the Flute of the Sun.

That's why Nebula initially gifted Lowe the Z Crystal of ultimate power, and later, when Lowe attempted to master Mega Evolution, Nebula also helped to harmonize the power. All of this was to ensure that Lowe could gradually gain the qualification to blow the Flute of the Sun.

Although it is still different from the real scene that Little Nebula was looking forward to, simply blowing the Sun Flute is not enough. It is necessary for two people to blow the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute at the corresponding Sun Altar and Moon Altar at the same time to fulfill Little Nebula's wish.

However, at this moment, the Moon Flute is still missing, and this is not the location of the altar. But in any case, at least the Sun Flute has been played, which can be considered the result of the first stage.

As the Sun Flute was played, part of Little Nebula's wish was fulfilled, and since that was the case, it should give a certain degree of response.

At that moment, a golden light shot out from Lillie's handbag and flew directly towards Rowe's location...

In the blink of an eye, the light was already close by, and the sun totem that Luo Wei had summoned merged with the incoming light at that moment.

The next second, golden light shot into the sky, and within the intense light... a golden phantom appeared...

It was clearly a male lion with a completely silver-white body. The lion raised its head and let out a roar that resounded through the sky in the midst of the raging storm!

That roar instantly dispelled the dark clouds, the wind stopped and the rain ceased... The glow of the setting sun, like a thousand sharp arrows, tore through the thick, leaden clouds, and at that moment, the sky... was completely clear of gloom...

"..."

Luo Wei looked up at the setting sun. As the torrential rain and strong winds dissipated, the huge whirlpool finally slowly dispersed, all of which indicated that the power of the sea god had been quelled.

The ability to quell a natural disaster caused by a legendary Pokémon in such a short time must also be due to the power of the legendary Pokémon...

With the sun totem just now and the subsequent phantom lion, the answer is already clear...

...From the ancient legends of the Alola region, Solgaleo, the sun god among the two gods of the sun and moon!

Although Solgaleo's power is far from fully recovered, and the Sun Flute only temporarily restored some of his power, the Ocean God on the other side also only had a portion of his power leaked out. At least there is still a half-crippled main body here.

Even combined, they couldn't fill a full health bar, but the purity of this side was slightly higher, which naturally suppressed the power of the Ocean God and successfully quelled the crisis...

At this point, Luo Wei finally wiped away his sweat and let out a long sigh of relief...

"……nailed it"

Chapter 222 Subduing Milotic~

"nailed it……"

Luo Wei wiped the rain off his face and looked at the sky where the sunset had reappeared. He knew that this was the end of it.

Although they were able to get through, they still relied on the power of the little nebula. Although the two gods here couldn't put together a full health bar, they were still, after all, the embodiment of a real concept. It was still somewhat difficult for them to reach the power of a natural disaster with "human strength".

At least Lowe can't do that yet, but he managed to get through this crisis thanks to Nebula's power. And the ocean Pokémon that he protected with his ultimate technique also managed to escape the whirlpool's attack.

All that could be seen was the vines spreading out again, and the liberated marine Pokémon, as if reborn, immediately splashed into the water and scattered in all directions.

"Haha, be careful not to go near this area again. It probably won't be peaceful around here for a while..."

Loewy had Gardevoir transmit his words telepathically. As for whether it would be effective, that was up to him to do his best. He could only manage what he could see in the present moment; as for those things that were not visible, he had no power to do anything about them.

Moreover, if the situation continues to deteriorate, such terrible incidents will only continue to increase, and he certainly won't be able to manage them all. Therefore, in the final analysis, we still need to solve this series of problems from the "root cause".

The root of the problem lies with the two sealed gods. No matter what, we must find a way to clean up this mess and restore balance to the land of Hoenn...

Over there, seeing that the wind and rain had stopped, the captain immediately steered the giant ship towards Lowe's side to meet up. Everyone who witnessed the little nebula's last-minute burst that suppressed the storm tacitly chose to pretend that it never happened.

Obviously, the existence of Little Nebula is a secret, and since Little Nebula's power saved everyone, even if it's just out of gratitude, no one would choose to reveal this secret.

"Lowe, Grandpa Hatch!"

On the boat, Lillie waved to Rowe, who smiled and returned the gesture. Just then, Rowe felt the speedboat he was on being bumped.

"?"

As soon as Luo Wei turned around, he heard a splashing sound of water. A pretty figure emerged from under the sea, nudged the side of the speedboat with her head, and called out in Luo Wei's direction.

"What did she say?" Rowe quickly looked at Gardevoir beside him. With her as a useful translator, Rowe could at least have simple conversations with ordinary Pokémon.

Gardevoir faithfully performed its translation duties, as Rowe had just asked Gardevoir to warn the surrounding Pokémon not to approach, proving that Rowe knew the problem. At the same time, Rowe's act of stepping forward to rescue these Pokémon was also witnessed by Milotic.

More importantly, Lowe actually solved the disaster, giving Milotic, who thought they were in for a terrible time, hope for a solution.

(She said she has been searching for a way to quell the ocean's fury, and right now she can only try her best to warn people and Pokémon in the area to take shelter before a disaster occurs, but this is not a long-term solution...)

Just as Luo Wei said before, a person's strength is ultimately limited. No matter how capable one is, there are still places that one's hands cannot reach.

In any case, there are always people who cannot be saved, so in order to solve this series of disasters, we still need to address the root cause.

That would completely quell the anger of the sea god...

"...So you mean?"

Loki looked at Milotic before her, and Gardevoir translated her meaning...

...She saw in Rowe a possibility of solving the problem, so she hoped to go with Rowe to solve this disaster together.

"I see..." Naturally, Rowe was supposed to clean up this mess, after all, he was a Hoennian and couldn't just stand by and watch the Hoenn region be destroyed.

Thus, the two sides successfully reached a consensus. Milotic nodded in the direction of Rowe, and Rowe reached into his pocket and took out a Poké Ball.

Milotic touched the Poké Ball with its forehead and offered no resistance... and was thus captured by the Poké Ball.

"They actually won over the goddess of beauty just like that?"

The old man Hachi, standing nearby, was also amazed. Milos, a legend of the sea, was named after the goddess of beauty because of her incredibly mysterious and rare characteristics.

So far, the only person in the Hoenn region with a record of catching Elixir is Gym Leader Wallace, but he refuses to reveal any secrets related to Elixir to the outside world.

Whenever someone asked him about it, he would give a vague answer, claiming it was a wonderful encounter with this beautiful goddess, and that it would be rather tactless to inquire about such details...

Having said all that, most people wouldn't press the matter further, especially considering the other party's status as a dojo master and their social standing; they're not someone ordinary paparazzi could easily exploit...

"what……"

Meanwhile, Lillie and her group on the giant ship also witnessed Rowe's capture of Milotic, and for a moment, they were at a loss for words.

"Haha, although the process was a little different from what I imagined, at least the result was pretty good. We've gained a new partner, Miss Milos, please take care of us from now on~"

Loew released Milotic, smiling as he extended his hand. Milotic calmly extended its tail, giving it a friendly touch as if shaking hands with Loew...

If you ask whether Loewon likes Milotic, the answer is definitely yes. After all, it's certified as the "most beautiful Pokémon" in the Pokédex, and for those who value appearance, it's an absolutely irresistible beauty.

Their strength is not weak either, which can make up for the fact that Luo Wei's team is not good at dealing with water...

"...Thank you so much, Grandpa Hatch and Captain! This trip has been very fruitful!"

"Haha, it's good that I can help. After all, I'm getting old, and the future ultimately belongs to the young people..."

The reason he spoke with such satisfaction was probably because he had successfully passed on the ultimate technique to Luo Wei. In this way, the three ultimate techniques he brought from Awakening Island have all found successors.

Here, Luo Wei learned a new ultimate move and gained a new partner, successfully expanding the team. It was only natural that they should set off for their next goal.

To clean up the mess caused by the awakening of the two gods, Luo Wei had to make a trip to Mount Songshen, but before that, he had to pass through another city...

Lilycove City... Flying-type Gym!

Chapter 223 Experience Pack Reporter Duo

They had thought they might be at sea for several days, but the result was quite good. In just one day, Rowe and Lillie successfully won over their new companions.

Lowe was very satisfied with Milotic; in terms of results, it was a fantastic new partner.

As for Lillie, although she caught a Magikarp that could be considered very common, she herself had no complaints about it at all; on the contrary, she liked it very much.

"Well then, I don't need this for now..."

As he spoke, Rowe took out the Exp. Share device that President Zvoich had given him as a reward. After all, the Pokémon Rowe currently had were basically capable of standing on their own and did not need to rely on the Exp. Share device to level up.

Even Milotic, who just joined, already possesses considerable strength. Lowe only needs to devise some coordinated tactics based on her condition and then work on the synergy between her and her original partners.

As for levels, they're basically all in place; it's clear that Lillie's side needs the learning devices more...

...As for Lillie herself not having any Pokémon to battle, that's not a problem. Rowe came up with an "excellent" solution.

"Lillie, have you ever heard of two-person team battles?"

"Eh?"

This battle mode actually only became popular in the Hoenn region... to be precise, it was only implemented in Generation III: Ruby/Sapphire.

In short, it allows two Pokémon Trainers to team up and challenge other Pokémon Trainers. In this mode, each Pokémon Trainer can send out a maximum of three Pokémon.

In other words, if one side only has one or two Pokémon, the other side can only send out three, and cannot send out four or five to fill the gaps left by the other side.

During the battle, both sides will coordinate their attacks simultaneously. The battle will only end when all Pokémon on both sides are unable to battle. All experience points gained during this process will be split equally among the Pokémon that participated in the battle.

In theory, this double battle mode can be 2V2, but it can also be 2V1, as long as the opposing trainer sends out two Pokémon. It can even be a 1V1 double battle, with each side sending out two Pokémon.

Why is it so popular in the Hoenn region? Because even the gym leader of one of the Hoenn gyms, the Psychic-type gym that Loewon plans to challenge as his seventh opponent, is a pair of twins named Maple and Nan, and this gym specializes in two-player battles.

Even two-player battles have been made the main challenge mode for gym battles, which shows that they are indeed very popular in the Hoenn region.

Along the way, many of the "wild" trainers that Rowe encountered also adopted two-player battles.

Of course, since Luo Wei's current strength is basically overwhelming, there are almost no opponents who can make Luo Wei take it seriously except for Gym Leaders. So these trainers are just "tools" to give Luo Wei money and experience.
