Pokémon, but cultural invasion

What's so good about ruling the world?

Sanna choked out, "I just want to be a billionaire who spends money like water and live a glamorous life."

"Unlike now, I'm going to jail..."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, unable to suppress her sobs any longer.

Izumi interrupted the conversation between the two fake besties: "The Phantom Thief Sisters have committed major crimes in many parts of the world. At each crime scene, they leave behind a playing card with a rose and two kiss marks."

"I regret to inform you that even without considering this case, the total amount of money you have committed is enough to warrant a sentence of two to three hundred years."

"Prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison."

Having said that, Quanshu put away the drops of water from his heart and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

As if grasping at a straw, Lian said in a deep voice, "Aren't you interested in Infinite Pokémon?"

"Besides the Heart Drop, the guardian deity of the Water City is also in our hands."

Quanshu stopped in his tracks without turning around: "Based on your movements over the past three days, finding it is only a matter of time."

The two sisters were plunged into deep despair. The man showed no intention of interrogating them, as if the information they provided was of no importance to him.

"Please wait, I'm willing to confess."

Sanna bit her lip, having made up her mind.

"Are you crazy?"

Lian looked at her incredulously, her eyes red.

Sanna turned her face away and whispered, "Forgive me, sister, I really don't want to waste my life in prison."

Three minutes later.

Quan Shu walked out of the interrogation room looking refreshed and said to Officer Jenny, "Take her away, and keep a close eye on her."

"Traitor! Traitor!"

As the door closed, Lian's impotent and furious roars were also cut off.

......

In the afternoon, at a grotto on an island south of Shallow Red City.

Golden, shimmering, high-speed stars broke through the spiderweb sealing the entrance to the hole.

Ariados, who was guarding the cave, was knocked unconscious by Gastly. Izumi walked into the depths of the cave and lifted the iron cage covered by a black cloth.

Through the thick railing, you can see a red, streamlined Pokémon with a pair of jet-like wings on its back.

"Latias?"

Izumi was somewhat surprised, as he had previously assumed that Latios, who was protecting his sister, had been captured.

Latias was in terrible condition, and to prevent her from escaping, the thief sisters deliberately withheld treatment, keeping her in a near-death state.

The fact that the patient was covered in wounds and had bluish discoloration on both cheeks suggests that there is a high probability of Ariados toxin in the body.

The sudden light made Latias open her eyes a crack, and she saw a smiling human youth.

"It's alright now. The person who hurt you will get what they deserve."

"Get some rest, you'll be fully recovered when you wake up."

Exhausted, Latias didn't even have the strength to use telepathy. She wanted to escape in fear, but her body couldn't muster any strength.

Finally, my heavy eyelids closed, and the whole world was plunged into a dim darkness.

Miss Joy and Lucky Egg, who were accompanying them, stepped forward to stabilize Latias's injuries, and then rushed him to Fuchsia City for treatment.

late at night.

"Latias is out of danger and just needs to rest and recover. He should wake up in the next day or two."

"Thank you so much."

Joy waved his hand and said, "Not at all, rescuing Pokémon is our duty, and being able to heal legendary Pokémon is also a rare experience."

She joked, "If another legendary Pokémon is sent to the Fuchsia City Pokémon Center next time, I won't be in such a panic."

After Latias's condition stabilized, it was moved from Fuchsia City to the Pokémon Center in Saffron City.

It's reasonable to entrust the Psychic-type Pokémon to Sabrina.

Ah Xing didn't care about Latias, after all, Latias had a legendary reputation but his actual combat strength was pitifully low.

She felt more regret about Izumi and Naz's hasty departure.

The day after returning to Goldenrod City, Izumi contacted Odomare to discuss the plan to return the Heart Drop.

After learning that the Heart Drop was related to the rise and fall of a city, the City Alliance was worried about whether the Kanon Clan had the ability to continue to protect the secret.

After lengthy discussions, the alliance decided that the Heart Drop would be temporarily kept by Natsume.

Hoenn Champion Steven has jumped in, showing great interest in the matter.

After completing his exploration of the desert ruins, he will personally travel to the Kanto region to bring the Heart Drop back to Aldor Mare, and will then send an Alliance agent to guard it.

Strangely, when Izumi asked about the missing Pokémon in Altomare, they said that the guardian deity of Latios had returned.

Two figures, one in blue and one in red, hovered above the stone sculpture. Seemingly because they had been harmed by humans, they had been very cold towards the Kanon tribe these past two days.

Izumi looked at Latias in the Pokémon hospital room in astonishment. If the guardian of Water City has returned, then who is this?

Upon further reflection, the red and blue figures currently remaining in the water city might be Latios's people summoned by him.

After all, there are not only Latios and Latias in the world.

Based on Quanshu's understanding of the Water City siblings, he has probably already left Water City and is searching for his sister.

"Poor Latias, not only did he get arrested, but he also lost his job when he woke up."

Quanshu sighed; this was all he could do.

If Latias wants to return to Water 7 after waking up, he won't stop him, even if he's a little envious.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Izumi opened the email that Daigo had sent.

Chapter 175 Ibrahimovic's Shock

In his letter, Daigo mentioned that the exploration of the desert ruins would take about two months, and he would visit the site afterward.

There are so many things I want to talk about: the Iron Dumbbell, the Heart Drop, the transformation of Xiao Nan and Xiao Feng, the Metagross monsters...

Precious stones always catch Daigo's eye, and he plans to take care of the iron dumbbells at the same time.

Two months... that should be the time for the new movie to be released. Izumi couldn't help but look forward to Daigo's reaction to "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale".

It seems no one has ever seen the famous Daigo Zuvoki shed tears; I wonder if Teigo can unlock that achievement.

On the third day after returning to Saffron City, Izumi, who was working on the film set, received a notification from the Saffron City Pokémon Center.

When he arrived at the hospital, Latias, who had woken up, was hiding behind the hospital bed, warily watching the unfamiliar surroundings and people.

Joey earnestly advised, "You're still very weak; you can't even fly. You need to rest properly."

Latias remained unmoved by Joey's words, but his bright yellow eyes flashed when he saw Izumi appear at the door.

She remembered this human; he was the one who opened the iron cage in the cave.

A deep blue luster bloomed in Latias's eyes, and an invisible wave swept across the spring tree.

"Dizzy...hungry...scared...tired..."

Complex emotions resonated in Izumi's heart through telepathic communication, and at the same time, Latias also became aware of his superficial thoughts.

This human meant no harm and was willing to let me go...

Latias's bristling feathers gradually folded back up, and she called out softly, her voice like a seagull's, but gentler and more ethereal.

"It's normal to feel dizzy, let me help you up."

Quanshu carried Latias, who was hiding behind the hospital bed, back to the bed and covered him with the blanket again.

"Miss Joey said you are too weak right now, and you are prone to overexertion, whether it is flying or using your superpowers."

"Return to Water Seven only after you have fully recovered."

Latias relaxed and nodded obediently.

"Mr. Izumi..."

Joy handed over a box of a paste made from various berries, which was very helpful for Pokémon's recovery.

It would be most appropriate to feed them with the spring tree, which has gained Latias's trust.

"Latias, you haven't eaten anything while you've been unconscious for the past few days, you must be hungry..."

Quanshu used a special spoon to scoop up the fruit puree and fed it to Latias spoonful by spoonful.

At first, she was a little unaccustomed to it, but she immediately liked it after tasting the sweetness of the fruit puree.

Perhaps because he had been deceived by the two sisters, Latias was indifferent to strangers outside of Izumi Tree, maintaining a wary distance.

Unfortunately, Izumi's daily routine now includes a stop at the Pokémon Center to visit Latias.

The first early autumn after returning to Golden City from my trip passed quietly amidst busyness and anticipation.

At first, the weakened Latias spent most of his time sleeping, only opening his eyes when the spring tree came.

A week later, she was mostly awake and able to fly for short periods.

By the end of the second week, Latias was able to move freely and play with the other Pokémon in the recovery area.

"Latias!"

Izumi threw a yellow frisbee into the sky, which Latias caught steadily with its little paws and flew back, circling around him as if to show off its achievement.

"well done."

He gently stroked Latias's pure white ears, and the latter squinted his eyes and let out a soft cry.

Eevee at my feet: w(?Д?)w

Joey smiled and said, "Mr. Izumi, your relationship has improved quite a bit."

"So-so."

Izumi looked at Latias, who was bouncing around in the recovery area, helping other Pokémon get onto the slide, and said:

"Once she regains her ability to fly at high speed, she will probably return to Water Seven."

Miss Joy shook her head and said, "Who can say for sure about things between people and Pokémon?"

"Latias's condition has stabilized and she can be discharged. Taking her out to breathe some fresh air will help her recover."

"She must have had enough of being in that cramped fairy center."

At Joy's suggestion, Izumi led Latias out of the Pokémon Center.

Upon contact with the outside world, Latias enters a state of alert, its feathers turning a glassy color, using the refraction of light to conceal its shape.

Her little paws rested on Quanshu's shoulder, making him aware that she hadn't gone far.

"We go home."

"There is a big house and a lake there, and many happy Pokémon live there."

...

After getting off the train, with Latias putting his arm around her shoulder the whole way, Izumi suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest.

He took out the metal pendant from his chest and unlocked the clasp.

The black destructive genes inside the glass bottle spiral at a constant rate, and apart from the initial fiery red that reacted with the sacred flame, new colors are being born.

The black fades, and a light pink emerges.

A third color appears in the bottle.

"Europe?"
