In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"I don't know either, Ah Mi~ I'm so tired today~"

Upon hearing this, Dream shook its head, floated up gently, and yawned, indicating that it was sleepy.

They look so cute!

"???"

Bakura's eyelids twitched slightly. This little guy, if he didn't want to tell him, he shouldn't have. What was he trying to do with such a clumsy excuse?

Watching the dream drift away in the direction of Lugia and her baby, Bakura sighed with some regret.

He really wanted to know what happened to Lugia in the end, and what it meant to be unable to come out.

Was he sealed away? Or imprisoned? Or for some other special reason?

After thinking for a moment, Bakura took out Groudon's Poké Ball.

"Can't fly? Are you there?"

"..."

"A mighty, domineering, invincible, wildly cool, and awesome land overlord?"

"Speak your mind directly."

Groudon's satisfied, low telepathic voice echoed in Bakura's mind.

Hmm, very good, you have a good eye! No wonder you chose this partner, Groudon!

"...Do you know what Lugia, the one Dream just mentioned, is all about?"

Bakura secretly despised this increasingly mercenary man who couldn't fly. Pah! He can't even fly, what a shameless scoundrel.

However, Bakura was simply too curious about the situation of that Lugia.

"How could I possibly know? I'm always sleeping," the man who couldn't fly replied with extreme pride and self-righteousness.

That makes sense. It's usually asleep. Even when it wakes up, it's just fighting with Kyogre, then Rayquaza mediates, and then it goes back to sleep...

Going back and forth like this, we remain true to our original aspirations and have never changed!

"..." Bakura put Groudon's Poké Ball back without expression, realizing he had really messed up.

You actually went and asked this idiot.

……

Meanwhile, at the underwater base...

"Failed? Oh well, there's always Plan B."

Dr. Nanbo frowned at the drenched Yamato and Kosaburo, but did not blame them.

His temper isn't actually that bad, except for his name.

"Dr. Xibo, although we failed, we have made a very important discovery!"

Amado spoke earnestly to Dr. Nanbo.

"Not Dr. Sibo! It's Dr. Nanbo!" Dr. Nanbo shouted at Amad as usual.

"What discovery?"

"Please take a look, Doctor." Yamado calmly took out a cassette tape, inserted it into the instrument, and a photograph immediately appeared on the large screen.

"These are the two people who are standing in our way, and their spirits!"

"Amad said to Dr. Nanbo in a deep voice."

"Wow~ This is incredible! Primarina, Felmoth, Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Latias, Mew! Goodness, there are even Pokémon I don't recognize!"

Dr. Nanbo's expression gradually became excited as he looked at the Pokémon in the photo, his voice becoming somewhat shrill.

As a Pokémon research doctor, nothing excites them more than new projects and unknown Pokémon.

"This person?"

Sachi, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, frowned as he looked at Bakura in the photo.

She remembers this person! (Money is good)

It was that boy who appeared in the Silver Forest and got in their way.

After the Silver Forest incident, Chakra did indeed contact Sakaki and learned that Bakura was an extremely important partner of their Team Rocket.

In short, what Sakaki said boils down to this: You absolutely must not antagonize Bakura, or you will be severely punished!

“Etherland, Bakura…” Satchel’s gloomy face seemed to be deep in thought. Although she was outwardly one of the three Beast Warriors, a high-ranking member of Team Rocket.

But she is actually an undercover agent from Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region!

"If we could get Mew and Lugia, I wouldn't mind staying with Team Rocket, but... Xing..."

Sachi pondered, his eyes gleaming. Moreover, an organization like Team Rocket was actually cooperating so closely with Aether Paradise.

This is undoubtedly a huge piece of bad news for the Galaxy!

Chapter 145 A Dream of Crying Out in grievance (Seeking full subscription)

On that deserted island again, the campfire diligently prepared special energy cubes for Lugia and her baby, the kind of food that psychic flying creatures love. Watching little Lugia bury his head in the bowl and devour his food, the campfire's pretty face broke into a sweet, satisfied smile.

On the contrary, Lugia's mother, eating her energy cubes in small bites, somehow managed to give off an elegant and sophisticated vibe.

The campfire's eyes even turned into star shapes; as expected of Lugia!

After finishing his meal, Bakura had Primarina accompany Lugia to play in the water, while he sat on the shore.

"Luggia, there are some things I'd like to ask you. Is this a convenient time?"

Bakura turned his gaze to Lugia's mother, whose body was half submerged in the sea and whose eyes were fixed on little Lugia, and couldn't help but speak.

This Lugia is, without a doubt, a complete late-stage child lover!

Upon hearing this, Lugia turned its gaze to Bakura, hesitated for a moment, and perhaps because Bakura had left a good impression on it, it nodded.

"Sure, human, ask whatever you want."

A soft, gentle female voice, a telepathic connection, sounded in Bakura's ears.

"It's like this, I passed through Ecruteak City before, and I heard that one of your Lugia clan members once lived in Ecruteak City, is that right?"

Bakura hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then organized his thoughts and asked Lugia's mother.

"...Yes, a Lugia did indeed inhabit that place."

Lugia's mother was taken aback by what she heard, then remained silent for a while before a weary telepathic voice sounded.

Bakura's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. Lugia's mother's emotions had changed somewhat. So it's very likely that the Lugia in Edo Tenkaichi is the same Lugia that served as the guardian deity of Whirlpool Island before!

And that Lugia is the mate of this Lugia mother.

"The priestesses of Edo City who once worshipped Lugia... are still waiting for Lugia's response. It has been more than a hundred years. They have always hoped that you could continue to respond to them, give them hope and forgiveness."

"Even the Bell Tower, where Lugia once lived and which was later burned down and was on the verge of collapse, was always cleaned and maintained by the priestesses, regardless of their own safety."

Bakura took out the Sea God Bell from his person and said to Lugia's mother in a deep voice.

Ding-dong~

The Sea God's Bell, which had never rung before, rang on its own this time.

The crisp, melodious sound of the bell brings a sense of tranquility to the listener.

"I see……"

Lugia's mother gazed at the Sea God's Bell with a complex expression. She could indeed feel the traces of its power emanating from the bell.

"I understand, human. You want me to step in and reassure them so they can give up their duties as priestesses?"

Lugia's mother's telepathic message rang out, and she sighed as she spoke.

It didn't know how to understand this, because leaving the Bell Tower was the result of Lugia's excessive disappointment with humanity.

But the witches who devoutly believed in them, Lugia, were innocent, and they had been condemning themselves for over a hundred years, generation after generation.

"It's not about giving up. The Lugia people are gentle and kind, and even I have great respect for you."

"Faith in Lugia is not a bad thing for them. All I want is for you to meet them, fulfill their long-held wish, and give them a response."

"That's enough."

Bakura shook his head. Destroying someone else's faith was too cruel.

The May Five didn't want this outcome; they just hoped that Lugia or Ho-Oh would respond to them once.

Even if it's just once, it's enough for them.

This proves that these witches were not abandoned.

"can."

Lugia gazed at Bakura for a long time before a gentle telepathic connection finally sounded.

"But I can't travel to human cities right now, so you can have them come to see me."

Then Lugia's mother spoke up, saying that she was still taking care of little Lugia, who was still innocent and naive.

Heading to a human city, who knows what unexpected events might occur.

Lucia's mother certainly didn't want this to happen.

“No problem, thank you very much.” Bakura smiled, it was nothing at all.

In this way, the promise made to May and the others was also fulfilled.

Once they've met Lugia, they can move the dance hall to Alola!

"Hehe~ It seems you value those shrine maidens a lot. I don't know why, but you are indeed quite special."

Lugia's mother chuckled softly, her eyes fixed on Bakura, which was certainly special.

As Lugia, it could naturally sense the incredibly strong Groudon aura emanating from Bakura.
