Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Reality is very different now.

Currently, the first-class legendary combat forces that he can freely mobilize include Reshiram, Motostoke, Diancie, Mewtwo, and Zygarde.

Not to mention Groudon and Kyogre, which are also located in the vicinity of international waters.

Once Dark Lugia was sealed away, it had no chance of turning the tide.

Ignoring its "vicious" curses, Diancie, protected by Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, arrived at the edge of the seal and skillfully infused it with her own radiant power.

This time, however, the power of light far surpassed that of the past. The radiant aura, symbolizing the manifestation of the radiant authority, enveloped Dark Lugia, and the strengthening and expansion of the empty shell of authority took effect accordingly. It was as if endless radiant power was washing over Dark Lugia's clone.

Those stubborn negative energies were instantly eradicated the moment they came into contact with the power of light, turning into wisps of black smoke which were then extinguished by the power of light waiting outside the seal, preventing them from having any possibility of affecting anything in the outside world.

Feeling his consciousness sinking at an alarming rate, Dark Lugia realized that he was truly doomed this time.

Having ceased its tirade, its half-white, half-red, savage eyes fixed intently on Diancie, who was standing inches away. In a hoarse voice, it spoke meaningfully: "So what if you suppress me? I and it are born from the same lotus, the opposite of each other, light and shadow. As long as it lives, I will forever exist in its shadow."

"You can't kill me!"

"One day I will awaken again, staining all that is pure white with black, and bringing a whirlwind of destruction to the world!"

Roaring out its own "curse," Dark Lugia's savage gaze suddenly turned to the uneasy Little Lugia behind it.

Even though Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos reacted quickly and immediately blocked its gaze, Dark Lugia smiled contentedly.

"Hehehe, this is the destiny of our Lugia race. Neither you nor I can escape it!"

The already weakened Dark Lugia had long lost the power to influence the outside world.

Not to mention, under the baptism of Diancina's radiant aura, its existence and consciousness are being frantically suppressed by the main personality.

There was no question of trying to influence Lugia's power anymore; it was just a heartfelt sigh.

Before falling into another long, deep sleep, it sincerely wished that the main personality and Articuno would continue to protect Lugia and prevent its other self, which had been with it since birth, from surfacing.

After a while.

Under the radiant aura, the last trace of negative energy was completely eradicated.

Lugia's gentle and intelligent eyes opened.

Looking at Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, and Su Hao, who seemed to be deep in thought, Lugia revealed a gentle smile.

Children, I'm really back this time.

Chapter 1485 Articuno Returns to the Team!

2025 2 Month 1 Day.

Today is the first day of February, and also the first day since Lugia was unsealed and the negative energy in my body was purified.

If we look at the timeline, by the middle of this month, Su Hao will have been a trainer for two full years.

Su Hao wasn't particularly attached to anniversaries, nor did he plan to hold any special celebrations for them.

If there wasn't anything particularly urgent to do at that time, he planned to cook a big meal as always, invite Mewtwo, Zygarde, and Xerneas, and have a small gathering with his companions.

"Meow~"

A soft call came from behind him. Without turning around, Su Hao could recognize the person through his waveguide.

—It is one of the Grass-type Pokémon that he took from the Aokigahara Forest and settled in the evergreen forest on this icy island, untouched by the harsh cold of the outside world, called Masked Meow.

It was holding a cup of grass-fed goat milk that it had just gotten from its mount, the goat tribe, along with milk tea made from steeped snow mountain tea leaves, expressing its affection in this way.

Pokémon are very simple creatures. When they develop feelings for a human, they will often go to great lengths to please them.

Su Hao naturally saw all of this, but unfortunately, he probably couldn't give the Magic Masked Cat the answer it wanted.

To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with overlapping attributes. It's just that my team is already close to saturation, and adding new members who haven't improved much since the Aokigahara Forest era won't change anything.

On the contrary, the places they are going to next are more and more dangerous than the last, and even Yeezy and the others may have a hard time, let alone Magic Masked Cat.

Rather than taking the other person into danger, Su Hao believed it would be better for them to live a safe and peaceful life on Ice Island.

Strictly speaking, whether it's the Magic Masked Cat or the Grass-type Pokémon in the forest, they are all your own Pokémon.

Whenever I have free time, I come to Ice Island and interact with and spend time with them.

Su Hao simply wouldn't bring them along on the front lines of the battle.

Taking the milk tea and taking a small sip, Su Hao smiled and praised Magical Masked Cat, "Mmm, it's delicious."

Magic Masked Cat's eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately put aside the subtle techniques Skadi had taught her that she had just been thinking about, and happily poured Su Hao another cup.

As a result, it never uttered the words "I want to be your Pokémon" until Su Hao left the forest.

Su Hao didn't touch on these topics at all, but as usual, he left a lot of resources for the Grass-type Pokémon when he left.

.......

Ice Island, frozen beaches.

Compared to Thunder Island, which was frequently struck by lightning, Fire Island was a large volcano with very few places to land.

Although the frozen beach is a bit cold on the feet, it's spacious enough.

Lugia folded its large, palm-sized wings, the multi-layered white feathers like scales lying perfectly flat. Beneath those wings was the little Lugia who had recently become completely clingy.

Although for Lugia, it has only been a little over a year since it was separated from its mother, Lugia.

But after experiencing so much, it naturally became very attached to its mother, whom it had lost and then found again, to the point that it was inseparable from her.

Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos looked at him like they'd eaten several pounds of lemons—they were so sour.

Waaaa, Lugia isn't clinging to me anymore!

"If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask."

Lugia's gentle voice rang out, and compared to the hysteria of his Dark Lugia persona, it now felt as warm and gentle as a spring breeze.

It truly lives up to the description Manaphy used to describe it.

"Well, I will."

Su Hao nodded slightly. Although Lugia wasn't as powerful as Dark Lugia, it was actually stronger than Ho-Oh in terms of combat strength.

Of course, there are only a few.

Regardless, Lugia is a valuable and powerful Tier 1 Legendary unit.

Whether it's guarding the rear or supporting the front, Su Hao is very happy that his side has gained another reliable combat force.

Lugia was weak for a while after completing the purification yesterday, but it quickly recovered because it reconnected with the laws of the world and received feedback from the authority, drawing enough power from the ocean currents.

Su Hao didn't really want to interact with Moltres or Zapdos. After leaving a bunch of snacks for Lugia, he left them with a lot of treats.

Su Hao looked at the Emerald Warrior Eagle, who was not standing beside him but was following Lugia.

Noticing his gaze, Lugia smiled gently, thinking he was still worried. "Don't worry, I will spare no effort to teach it how to control the power of the storm more deeply during this time. When you come back, you will definitely see its amazing transformation."

Indeed, after comprehensive consideration and Lugia's own initiative.

After discussing with the Emerald Warrior Eagle, Su Hao decided to let it stay in the Divine Bird Sanctuary for the time being and receive guidance from Lugia.

Currently, the Warriors Eagles are just one step away from breaking through to the mid-game championship level, but that's not the main point.

The main concern is that, from the very beginning, the Green Warriors Eagles did not actually receive any systematic guidance.

For example, the Dragapult siblings were personally taught by Giratina, and Milotic was taught by the Latias siblings and Kyogre.

However, because of Dark Lugia, the Green Warrior Eagle has always fought alone, using unorthodox methods to understand the power within the Silver Feather and the power of the Storm's Protection.

After careful consideration, the Green Warrior Eagle also decided to stay with Lugia for a period of time to further his studies.

Meeting Su Hao's gaze, the Emerald Warrior Eagle nodded firmly.

This time, it will take a shortcut to overtake, leaving that arrogant tiger far behind and making it unable to even catch a whiff of its exhaust fumes!

Since we had already said goodbye in advance, there wouldn't be any lingering or reluctant farewells.

Su Hao withdrew his gaze from the Emerald Warrior Eagle and then fell on the Articuno, which seemed to be hesitating about something, without saying a word.

At this moment, Articuno is struggling with how to make its demands.

[Hmph, since you don't have a flying vehicle, then this bird will reluctantly follow you around and give you a ride for a while, okay?]

No way, you're making it sound like I can only use it for transportation. It's a genuine second-class legendary item, after all!

Hmph, if you beg me, I might be willing to go with you.

No way, you're making it sound like I'm some kind of arrogant bird!

Seeing that Articuno was still hesitant, Su Hao knew it probably wouldn't be able to fart much more.

Su Hao sighed helplessly, took out his first Master Ball, which he had been carefully keeping, and tilted his head to ask, "Now that the Divine Bird Sanctuary doesn't need you to guard it anymore, how about it, do you still want to continue traveling with me?"

Articuno, who had already arranged the affairs of its group, lit up with excitement. Then it turned its head and replied with a humming tone, "Since you've put it that way, I'll mercifully agree!"

Chapter 1486 Unsealing of the Valley of Creation

Because the Emerald Warrior Eagle stayed in the Divine Bird Sanctuary to follow Lugia in training the power of storms.

This time, Su Hao left on an Articulated Bird.

With Articuno back in the ranks, Su Hao naturally chatted with it a lot on the way back to the Divine Continent Alliance.

Such as the growth of the Pokémon in the team, and some of the problems that need to be faced now.

Articuno was quite impressed.

Xiao Mei has already possessed master-level combat power and is preparing to comprehend more laws of power to raise her upper limit after advancing to master level.

The world's favored Evil Phantom and Yeezy, and the Blazing Roaring Tiger who has finally mastered his skills and is no longer at the bottom.

As they talked, Articuno, which was flapping its wings from time to time to increase its flight speed, said sincerely, "Everyone is working very hard."

It had a feeling that if it wasted a few more years, it would be completely surpassed by Xiaomei and the others.

Fortunately, this time I chose to leave with Su Hao, and Lord Lugia was very supportive of my decision.
