In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

It seems I underestimated this priest.

A woman who can grant others a weakened version of telepathy, even if that telepathy has limitations, is indeed not to be underestimated.

"I see. Let's sit down and talk."

Maya smiled but didn't say anything when she heard what Ami said. She pointed to the ground and said to the three of them.

Of course, she wouldn't casually reveal Bakura's secret. She wasn't familiar with Bakura at all, and if Bakura was too cautious and obsessive, then she and Ami would be in danger.

The four of them sat on a clean blanket, enjoying the gentle sea breeze; it was very comfortable.

"Maya, I've heard that you serve as a priest because you possess extremely special abilities that make it easier to satisfy my curiosity?"

Bakura looked at Maya, who had a gentle expression, and asked her with a smile.

He was indeed very curious about the power of the Sea Soul, after all, although this ability did not seem to help in the battle, it was quite magical in some ways.

"There's nothing to hide. I think outsiders are all very curious about me."

Upon hearing this, Maya smiled serenely, shook her head, and slowly said.

"I wonder if Mr. Bakura knows anything about the Uzumaki Islands?"

After a moment of contemplation, Maya seemed to be thinking about where to begin, and finally looked up and asked Bakura.

“Of course, we’ve read all the records and information about the Whirlpool Islands,” Bakura replied with a nod.

“That would be more convenient. The Whirlpool Islands were once protected by the sea god Lugia, who once performed miracles for some of the people living on the islands.”

"And the Sea Soul Gem, the most precious treasure of the Whirlpool Islands, is also said to be a secret treasure of the sea left behind by Lugia."

Maya smiled and explained slowly.

............ 0

"I see……"

Bakura seemed to understand something upon hearing this, realizing that Maya was a descendant of the person to whom Lugia had once bestowed power.

The Sea Soul Gem was also a gift from Lugia to the people of the Whirlpool Islands.

"The power of God is beyond human imagination, but God never interferes with human choices or worldly affairs. Perhaps this is why the Whirlpool Islands are what they are today."

Maya gazed at the ebb and flow of the tide, her eyes slightly misty.

Lugia, the sea god, is one of the oldest legends in the Kanto region, but nowadays, we can only guess at some of it from the stories told by people who occasionally encounter shipwrecks but are saved by mysterious spirits.

The two nations of Whirlpool Island once waged war over its ownership. Lugia, the guardian deity of Whirlpool Island, could only stop the war by dividing the island into four parts, a desperate measure.

"History is just history. All we can do is focus on the present. Maya, it's better not to be influenced by historical events."

Bakura, however, remained calm and slowly replied. He was a realist, and history was irrelevant to him; at most, he would only reminisce about it.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Bakura." Maya smiled; of course she understood such a simple principle.

"However, I am very interested in the power of the Sea Soul. Maya, may I ask how I can obtain the blessing of the Sea Soul?"

Chapter 137 Bakura, Lugia is here! (Please subscribe to the full chapter)

"How can I obtain the blessing of the Sea Soul?" Bakura asked curiously, staring at Maya. The blessing of the Sea Soul grants trainers the ability to communicate telepathically with Water-type Pokémon.

This special power still quite moved Bakura.

Because he's just an ordinary person at all...

Although his talent is exceptional, even comparable to that of Crimson, it doesn't change the fact that he is an ordinary person without any special abilities.

He also wants to gain the ability to communicate telepathically with Pokémon, even if it only applies to Water-type Pokémon, it would still be great.

At least the West Lion Sea People can communicate without any problems, right?

Although Bakura is not kind-hearted, he truly loves his Pokémon and has always regarded his Pokémon as a partner and family member.

If Bakura had encountered the same situation as Darko on the Saint-Tianu "480", his choice would definitely be different from Darko's. He would never hand over his Pokémon to anyone else!

Bakura would be happy to be able to communicate with his Pokémon, even if it's just a Primarina.

"Does Mr. Bakura need the blessing of the sea spirit?"

Maya was taken aback by what she heard and stared at Bakura in astonishment. According to her senses, Bakura should not be a trainer who specializes in water-type trainers.

Because apart from that god, the only other Pokémon she sensed on Bakura was a Water-type Pokémon.

But the Sea Soul Blessing ability only works on water-type spirits.

"Yes, I've heard that the Sea Soul Blessing allows trainers to communicate with Pokémon without any problems, and I really like that ability."

Bakura nodded and said earnestly to Maya.

"I see..."

Maya looked at Bakura, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She could tell that Bakura was indeed serious.

However, this presents a bit of a dilemma.

Logically speaking, Bakura is a God Trainer, so she shouldn't have refused.

However, according to the rules, the Sea Soul Blessing can only be bestowed upon the champion of the Whirlpool Islands Tournament, organized every three years, the 'Great Sea Warrior'.

Although Maya was a priestess and the one who bestowed this power, transgressing the rules still put her in a difficult position.

Ami looked at the two of them with some hesitation. She wanted to say a few words of advice on behalf of Bakura, but she also understood Maya's predicament.

"If it's inconvenient for you, how about this, Maya? I can owe you a favor, as long as it's not against my will. If you need anything in the future, you can ask me for help."

Bakura pondered for a moment upon seeing this, and then slowly spoke to Maya.

Maya remained silent upon hearing this, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She knew very well what Bakura's favor truly meant!

In interpersonal relationships, as long as one's values ​​are sound, the thing to avoid most is favoritism.

Because you owe someone a favor, it means that you are restricted in your actions and mindset to some extent.

Of course, if someone lacks moral values ​​or has a distorted worldview, giving them favors is meaningless. They will still stab you in the back without hesitation if it's for their own benefit...

"Since it was Mr. Bakura who requested it, I will help you this time."

With her sexy lips pressed tightly together, Maya thought it over and over again, but still gritted her teeth and agreed to Bakura's request.

Rules and regulations are ultimately less important than interests!

A trainer who is a Master God is of immeasurable value!

What is a god? A legendary being on the same level as Lugia!

Although "god" is just an honorific title, it also represents, in a sense, awe of the power of these top legends!

"Thank you, Maya." Bakura smiled slightly and thanked Maya.

"Mr. Bakura, you're too kind. As I always say... my training is still lacking."

Maya shook her head and gave a bitter smile. She had still been tempted by the prospect of gain, which only showed that the priest's moral cultivation was ultimately insufficient.

Bakura smiled faintly and remained silent.

"Please follow me, everyone. The Sea Soul Gem is in my residence."

Maya composed herself, and once again put on a gentle and magnanimous smile as she addressed the three of them.

Maya led the three back to her dwelling, which was more like a temple than a dwelling.

It is magnificent and imposing, yet contains an inexplicable sense of awe.

In a simple and unpretentious room, Maya took down a magnificent scepter from the wall, but the most eye-catching feature was a huge, round, deep blue jewel.

"Then, Mr. Bakura, let's begin."

Maya, holding the Sea Soul Scepter, exudes elegance and purity. She raises the scepter, the Sea Soul Gem pointing at Bakura.

Bakura nodded, while Campfire and Ami watched intently...

A pure, azure light shimmered slowly on the Sea Soul Gem, and the water droplet-like blue light continuously radiated out and then disappeared into Bakura's body.

A warm and inclusive energy filled his body, making him feel cozy and comfortable. Bakura calmed down and felt the changes in his body.

The light lasted for quite a while before slowly dimming, and Maya's face showed signs of fatigue.

Using the power of the Sea Soul Gem was also a considerable burden for her.

Performing miracles in a normal way is fine, but bestowing abilities upon others is extremely taxing.

"Lord Bakura? Do you sense anything strange?"

Seeing that the ceremony was over, Bonfire looked at Bakura, who had his eyes closed, and asked with some concern.

This so-called blessing from the sea spirit sounds too mysterious.

"No, I feel great right now."

Bakura opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, shook his head and smiled, then looked down at his hands.

He could feel a warm power flowing through his body, but that seemed to be all.

"Primarina." After thinking for a moment, Bakura threw out the Poké Ball.

"West~Sea~"

A melodious chirping sound rang out as the elegant and charming mermaid spirit sat sideways on the floor in front of Bakura, curiously looking around before turning her gaze to Bakura.

"Can you hear me, Siberian Hurricane?"

"Owner?"

The sudden voice in his heart startled West Lion Seaman, but after regaining his senses, 4.0 blinked and replied in a pleasant voice that sounded both male and female, with a hint of confusion.

"It really works!" Bakura was overjoyed to hear this; he was now able to communicate with the West Lion Sea People.

Bakura gently stroked Primarin's head and recalled the incredibly curious Primarin into its Poké Ball.
