Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Their overall strength exceeded Articuno's expectations; Diancie had reached the mid-Elite Four level, and Mei had reached the early-Elite Four level.

The motorcycle lizard seemed very strong, and because of the short time, Su Hao hadn't told its story yet.

That little Pokémon named Ursaring was the last to join the team, but its strength was surprisingly good; its small body contained terrifying power.

The originally weak Eevee has also completed its transformation and become Leafeon.

Articuno was very pleased that Su Hao continued to grow while Articuno was away.

However... when he left, Incineroar, as Su Hao's second Pokémon, was clearly among the top-ranked Pokémon in the team. How did it fall so far back now...?

Stared at by Articuno's strange and hesitant gaze, Incineroar was so ashamed that it just wanted to dig a hole in the ice and crawl inside.

Fiery Roaring Tiger: ??o·(????????????)?o·?

Don't look at me like this!

Finally, Articuno's gaze fell upon Reshiram, the pure white true dragon, which had appeared from within Su Hao's spiritual sea.

It is probably the True Dragon Reshiram that Su Hao mentioned.

Although the opponent's aura was restrained, Articuno sensed a threat from it, which convinced it that Reshiram was probably a legendary figure on the same level as Lugia.

This made Articuno feel inexplicably lonely; during its absence, Su Hao had been accompanied by legends even stronger than itself...

However, we'll leave those personal feelings for later; the focus now is on Dark Lugia.

After exchanging glances with the composed Reshiram for a moment, Articuno noticed three familiar figures rapidly approaching from high above. It looked up and said, "They're here."

Su Hao and the Pokémon also looked up.

Moltres and Zapdos, who had just fought against Dark Lugia, landed one after the other. Without a doubt, they were the Fire God and Thunder God, who were of the same rank as Articuno.

Su Hao glanced at them briefly before looking away, because behind Moltres and Zapdos, a Lugia much smaller than the one he had first encountered disguised as Dark Lugia landed and was looking at him with curiosity.

Chapter 832 Little Lugia

"This is... Lugia?"

Su Hao was dumbfounded. Wasn't he just fighting to the death with Dark Lugia? How come another Lugia has appeared now? Is he buying them wholesale?

But upon closer inspection, Su Hao noticed something amiss.

Compared to the Dark Lugia he had first seen, this Lugia was small in every sense.

Both in terms of physique and strength.

Its size is at most a little bigger than a child. Even if you include its head and tail, it would probably be difficult to reach two meters in length. Compared to the Dark Lugia, this Lugia is undoubtedly a "small" Lugia.

Lugia looked at Su Hao and the twelve Pokémon behind him with a curious and innocent expression. Apart from Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, this was the first time it had seen any other creatures.

As soon as Moltres landed, it cursed and said, "Damn it, that lunatic is really fierce. I'll definitely blow it up one of these days!"

Zapdos immediately mocked, "You think you can take it down? One hit from its Dark Cyclone and you'll lose half your life, bro?"

"I think you're half asleep in the lava, do you want me to give you a shock to wake you up?"

"What, you want to fight?"

Moltres, with its fiery temper, was easily provoked, and the fiery crown on its head burned even brighter, turning it into a true raging beast.

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

Zapdos wasn't intimidated at all; its feathers crackled with electricity. In terms of type advantage, it had the upper hand!

Su Hao: "......."

Seeing the tense atmosphere over there, Su Hao turned to look at Articuno and asked, "Are they always like this?"

"Ignore them, let them fight."

Articuno shook its head, as if it were already used to the two of them being ready to fight at any moment.

It then looked kindly at Lugia and called out, "Honestly, you two are just vulgar guys with nothing but muscles in your heads. Little Lugia, come here quickly, don't learn bad things from them!"

Little Lugia obediently moved over, and judging from its current size, it had a rather endearing and adorable appearance.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Moltres and Zapdos took off together, golden electricity and orange-red flames instantly illuminating half the sky, and intense energy waves burst forth in the air.

The Pokémon looked up at the sky, and the same thought crossed their minds—

Ah...a fight has broken out.

Of course, there are also Pokémon that aren't in the mood to watch the battle between the Fire God and the Thunder God.

The Green Warrior Eagle hung its head in frustration, still unable to understand why Lugia had become Dark Lugia and was showing cold killing intent towards it and Su Hao.

Although Diancie and the others noticed the dejected look on the face of the Green Warrior Eagle, they didn't know how to comfort him, since they still didn't understand what was going on with the Dark Lugia.

Su Hao then encountered Lugia. As a descendant of a first-class legendary god, its strength was weaker than he had imagined, barely reaching the professional level, just like the Lugia "Silver" in the original anime who hadn't even learned to fly yet.

Little Lugia stared at Su Hao with its adorable big eyes, looking him up and down next to Articuno, just like a child seeing a stranger.

Su Hao looked up at Articuno, asking a question. After receiving a nod of confirmation from Articuno, he magically produced a crystal-clear sky-blue energy cube and smiled, "Nice to meet you. I am Su Hao. Can we be friends?"

Lugia blinked, glanced at Articuno, and after finding that it didn't object, put its head in Su Hao's palm and smelled the Energy Cube.

"Lu~"

The little Lugia's eyes lit up slightly, and after letting out a cry, it eagerly opened its mouth and swallowed the energy cube in Su Hao's palm.

This was the first time it had ever tasted anything so delicious!

Little Lugia felt as if it were in a blissful dreamland, and its affection for Su Hao instantly rose from that of a stranger to that of a kind person who fed it delicious food!

Articuno was speechless. How come Su Hao was still sticking to the same old trick of tempting people with food?

Unfortunately, the naive and inexperienced young Lugia actually fell for this trick.

"Bonnie~"

Just then, a small head suddenly appeared behind Su Hao, its starry eyes fixed on Lugia, seemingly very interested in it.

As soon as Erguipeng heard about making friends, it ran over and looked at Lugia in a friendly manner. With its lively and cheerful personality, it quickly became friends with Lugia.

Soon, they reached Diancie and Milotic, who then called over the remaining Pokémon and started playing games with Lugia.

Su Hao and Articuno exchanged a glance and both decided to let them play freely.

boom--!

In the sky, Moltres's fiery explosion and Zapdos's electric discharge collided once again, sending dust plummeting from the heavens.

Articuno glanced at them disdainfully, a gale swirling around its wings. With a flap of its wings, a strong wind carrying a hint of frost blew the dust out of the Ice Island's territory.

After doing all this, Articuno yelled at the top of its lungs, "You two idiots! Go fight on your own island or at sea, what if it affects Lugia!?"

Su Hao originally thought that given Moltres and Zapdos's fiery tempers, they would at least drag Articuno into the fight as well.

Unexpectedly, they paused in the air, seemingly unconcerned that the ice bird had insulted them, and flapped their wings to fly directly to the sea a little further away.

Su Hao: "......."

What the heck is this?!

After doing all this, Articuno spoke to Su Hao again: "Get ready, we're going to discuss Dark Lugia."

Just as Su Hao was about to nod, Reshiram walked over and asked, "Can I join too?"

Articuno glanced at Reshiram and nodded indifferently, "Okay, to complete the plan, we might still need to rely on your strength."

Rahiram nodded slightly, shifted his body, and sat down beside Su Hao without saying another word.

Articuno felt that Reshiram was being a little deliberate. Was it really necessary for him to sit next to Su Hao?

However, putting aside these minor details for now, the most urgent matter is to discuss the Dark Lugia. Articuno then said, "Su Hao, while you're at it, call Diancie over as well. We'll need her Radiant Power for this matter."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao and Reshiram's expressions immediately turned serious, as they were well aware of what the power of Diancie's radiance was effective against!

Chapter 833 Divorced Woman with a Child

After Diancie arrived, Articuno glanced at the little Lugia playing wildly with Su Hao's nine Pokémon, and after a moment of preparation, said, "That child is a descendant of the Sea God, and the Sea God is Dark Lugia."

The first sentence was a bombshell.

Diancie showed a moment of surprise, as the inherited knowledge in its mind described in detail just how powerful the Sea God was.

Lugia can unleash a terrifying storm with just a flap of its wing if it so desires.

The idea that a full-force attack by a Heavenly King could cause such devastation as a barren wasteland is like child's play.

Lugia's power can directly affect most of a country, making it the embodiment of natural disasters.

How could such a god become like that?

Reshiram suddenly asked, "Is it... the effect of dark matter?"
