In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Yamato Kosaburo carefully stood up, turned around, and left, returning to the submarine with tears streaming down his face.

God knows how much pressure they must feel being watched by so many rumors!

"Go back and report to Professor Nanbo, that kid! He has so many legendary Pokémon. If we can catch him, we'll be rich!"

Yamad, sitting in the driver's seat, clasped his hands in a menacing manner and said, "This guy actually dares to scare them with legends."

Amado is determined to get this debt back!

"Lord Bakura, is it alright to let them go back? What about you...?"

With a slight frown, Gui Huo looked at the submarine that was starting up and preparing to dive and asked Bakura with some concern.

After all, there are so many legends surrounding Bakura, maybe even Sakaki will be tempted?

"Campfire, who do you think Sakaki is?"

Bakura chuckled softly upon hearing this, glancing at the Suicune and the other Pokémon who were comfortably sunbathing on the ground.

"No matter how many legends there are of Suicune and Latios, they won't really catch Giovanni's eye. If he can get them, that would be great, but if he can't, he'll just feel a little regretful and won't care too much."

Bakura said calmly, "Champion-level trainers are all true powerhouses who are extremely certain of their invincible will."

What is the invincible belief of a champion?

It doesn't mean that one is truly invincible, nor does it simply refer to an invincible will. Rather, it refers to an unwavering will that has absolute trust in oneself from beginning to end.

Legends like Suijun don't arouse much desire in Giovanni, much like the question Darkrai asked Bakura on the Saint-Tiannu.

"You are the champion, why do you still want to steal my Pokémon?"

For the champion, a low-level legendary Pokémon like Latios is not much different from an ordinary Pokémon, except for its rarity and slightly better talent.

If you happen to encounter such a legendary creature in the wild, it wouldn't be difficult for a champion-level trainer to capture it.

Well, ultimately it's because legendary items are so rare. Otherwise, regional champions wouldn't all have a pseudo-legendary item, but rather a low-level legendary item...

The three legendary beasts, including Suicune, clearly heard Bakura's words and rolled their eyes in perfect unison, thinking, "That sounds nice."

If you don't really care, why don't you just let us go?

"As for Lugia and Mew, they are certainly very precious, but someone of Giovanni's stature wouldn't be so foolish as to turn against me for two Pokémon that are already in my possession."

"Because he needs our support now."

Bakura's lips curled slightly, his eyes flickered subtly, and he spoke slowly to the campfire.

In Giovanni's opinion, would he really turn against Bakura and try to steal his Pokémon, since they had already been captured by Bakura?

Is he stupid or what?

Just for the sake of Mew and Lugia, they're abandoning their current honeymoon-like partnership?

Not only did they offend Aether Paradise, but they also offended Bakura, a top-tier trainer?

In this way, Team Rocket will not only have to face the Kanto Pokémon League, but also the dominant force in the Alola region. Does Team Rocket still have any hope?

Moreover, the consequence of doing this is that not only will it damage the relationship, but Mew and Lugia may not even be able to snatch them from Bakura!

Therefore, Bakura was certain that Sakaki wouldn't break off relations with him because of this small temptation.

"Got it~ Hehe~" Campfire nodded thoughtfully, then smiled sweetly and patted Lugia's belly again.

She felt that Lugia felt better to the touch than Dreamy; it was cool and soft, and felt great to knead.

"Woo~"

At that moment, a deep, resonant sound suddenly echoed continuously.

"Woo-hoo~ woo-hoo~"

Upon hearing this sound, Lugia smiled happily, flapped its little wings, and chirped incessantly.

"Mom, Lugia!"

Bakura glanced at Lugia, then looked towards the sea. The sound was coming from the seabed!

"Hurry, hurry, that big guy is coming!"

As the submarine had just submerged, Yamato shouted anxiously at Kosaburo.

"I know, but we're already at full speed." Kosaburo was covered in sweat.

"Woo~"

A low, soft hum sounded again, and a huge figure moved rapidly in the deep sea before crashing heavily into the submarine carrying Amado and his companion.

"This feeling is awful!"

The submarine was immediately thrown about by the terrifying force, and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

483 And at this moment, on the shore.

"coming."

As the sea began to churn violently, Bakura's gaze remained fixed on its surface.

Lugia as an adult!

Bakura will certainly be cautious!

"Woo~"

Suddenly, the sea surface surged upwards, and a giant elf stood on the surface with its wings spread wide. Its usually calm and gentle expression now carried a hint of irritability and urgency.

A heavy pressure swept over them, and the air seemed to thicken!

His figure was almost identical to that of Lugia, but their size and majesty were completely incomparable!

Lugia's gaze swept around, finally settling on the little Lugia being held in the arms of the campfire.

"Woo~"

Lugia stared at Bakura and the campfire, letting out a dangerous warning; fiercely protective of its offspring, it wouldn't allow any danger to approach its cubs.

"Mi~ Don't worry, Lugia, they won't hurt the little guy, Mi~"

Holding the small bowl, Dream flew above the campfire and 'shout' at Lugia's impatient mother.

Because it has become more and more accustomed to using telepathy to communicate, it no longer uses "mwah" when talking to old friends.

Well, on the other hand, it's also to make sure Bakura's campfire can understand what he's trying to say.

As the tender, melodious telepathic message of Mew descended, the air fell silent for a moment. Mother Lugia's eyes were fixed on Bakura and the campfire, not because she distrusted Mew.

They have been friends for thousands of years, so naturally there is no question of distrust between them.

It's because of what happened in the past that it doesn't particularly like humans, especially after what just happened.

"Woooo~"

When the atmosphere became tense, the little Lugia opened its mouth and let out a soft, childish chirp to its mother, Lugia, its two small wings fluttering as if calling for its mother to come down.

Lugia's mother hesitated for a moment, then slowly flew down to the ground.

"Woooo~"

Little Lugia leaped off the campfire and clumsily ran towards Lugia.

Lugia's mother's eyes also showed a doting look as she lowered her head and gently stroked little Lugia's head.

"How heartwarming!"

Seeing this, the bonfire held its hands to its chest, its eyes sparkling.

Two Lugia!

She was able to get so close to two legendary sea gods in her lifetime.

Seemingly remembering something, Campfire hurriedly took out his phone from his bag and started pressing buttons rapidly with both hands.

The 'crack' sound of impacts was incessant.

After taking enough photos from every angle, the campfire finally settled into video recording mode.

"Speaking of which, why isn't Lugia's father with him?"

Bakura rested his chin on his hand, glanced at the two Lugia, and then asked Mew curiously as it sat on his shoulder.

This little Lugia must be very young; a baby this small should have its parents by its side.

Or is it because Lugia's father needs to uphold his duty in the Orange Islands?

"It's not that it's not here, it's just that it can't come out right now."

Mew hugged its tail, rested its little head on Bakura's head, and looked at Lugia's mother and baby Lugia.

"Unable to get out?" Bakura raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, somewhat puzzled.

Who else can restrain an adult Lugia?

Are they the creation alpacas?

"Do you remember the history of the Vortex Islands that you watched, Mimi?"

"...the Lugia that unleashed lightning, splitting Whirlpool Island into four pieces before disappearing at the bottom of the Great Falls?"

Bakura seemed to be thinking about what Bakura said, and tentatively asked Yume.

If we're talking about the history of the Whirlpool Islands, this is the only Lugia mentioned.

Lugia once served as the guardian of Whirlpool Island, but in the end, the two nations on Whirlpool Island fought each other for their own selfish desires, so Lugia angrily intervened to stop them.

"Yes, but you know~ Gods can't just interfere with human lives and choices, you know~ So, what's so great about being a god, really..."

Mew, clutching its little tail, gazed at the heartwarming Lugia and its mother, its pure, innocent eyes sparkling with a light that no one else could understand.

"...So it was punished by its tribe?"

Bakura was taken aback upon hearing this, then frowned slightly and asked Yume in confusion.
