Under the blue water curtain, Lugia slowly poked his head out.
The long and silver-white neck, the mouthparts that look like a heron but without a beak, and the triangular black fins that look like eyepatch are mysterious and magnificent.
However, seeing this guy, not only Kashiwagi and other marine team members also showed quite strange expressions.
Aquan turned around and asked:
"You...are all the Lugias in the Orei region so small?"
"How can it be."
Kashiwagi shook his head decisively.
The size of the one in front of me is obviously more than half smaller than the normal Lugia in the animation. The head and neck look quite "mini", and the total length of the body is estimated to be no more than four meters.
Typical baby Lugia.
In the background of the animation, there is a Lugia cub - Little Silver, who was once seen by Ash and his friends. He was captured by Team Rocket on the Whirlpool Islands and was eventually rescued successfully.
"A small wild Lugia?"
Aquan looked back, his eyes full of disbelief, and then he became a little excited and wanted to move closer.
But Kashiwagi stopped her.
"Wait a minute, don't you feel that the atmosphere is not right?"
"The atmosphere is not right..." Before Aquan could realize what the former meant, the scream of a marine team member suddenly came from not far away.
"ah!"
Everyone looked quickly, and soon saw the man pointing at the entrance of the cave where they came in, with a look of trembling on his face.
"Luo Lugia!"
And from the entrance of the cave, a huge head appeared out of nowhere. A layer of faint silver light was like a bright moon, exuding a cold and lonely atmosphere.
Another Lugia, which seemed to be magnified several times, was looking down at them with cold eyes, and an invisible force of intimidation lingered in the dark cave.
Everyone in the Marine Team and Kashiwagi stood there at a loss.
However, the members of the Ocean Team have seen the big world after all, and Kashiwagi was not frightened by the smell alone, and their emotions quickly calmed down.
Aquan took the initiative to step forward, raised his hands as if innocent, and said: "I'm sorry for intruding into your territory rashly. We have absolutely no ill intentions and will not attack you or your children. Please believe us!"
"Please forgive us for our offense, we have absolutely no evil intentions!"
Kashiwagi also took a step forward, raised his hands and said.
Although it is unclear whether Lugia can understand this gesture of surrender, it seems that as a Pokémon with super powers, it should be able to distinguish between good and evil.
He kept recalling the plot of Ash's encounter with Lugia and his son, and was thankful that Lugia, who had successfully escaped from Team Rocket with Ash's efforts, had not completely lost trust in humans.
Lugia going crazy in the anime is still scary...
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Kashiwagi suddenly felt that the one in front of him was bigger than the one in the animation.
Um?
Isn't this Lugia's father?
His heart skipped a beat.
While thinking about it, the Big Lugia in front of him had already confirmed that Team Ocean, Kashiwagi, and even all the Pokémon were not hostile, and the pressure he released immediately dissipated.
"Chirp——"
However, even so, it clearly showed that it did not welcome human visitors. It turned its body aside to expose the entrance of the cave, as if it had issued an order to expel guests invisibly.
Upon seeing this, Aquan immediately ordered his men to take a look at the scene outside, and then followed him to the entrance of the cave but did not go out.
"You ask me first?"
She glanced at the big Lugia, then at the little Lugia who was like a curious baby, and finally turned to look at Kashiwagi.
"...Wait a minute, let me shout a little first."
When Kashiwagi saw little Lugia, he knew that he had probably made a mistake, but for the sake of accuracy, he decided to verify it.
then.
Under Quan's puzzled gaze, he whispered to little Lugia: "Little Silver?"
"Woo!"
The little Lugia's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this title, and the big Lugia next to him was also startled, and looked at the cypress in disbelief.
"Is it you, Xiaoyin?"
Kashiwagi asked again, and little Lugia rushed out of the water curtain waterfall, making a happy sound and approaching him.
Dalugia also bent his slender neck and looked around the cypress tree, often looking at his face, as if comparing it to something in his memory.
"You know them!?" Aquan said in disbelief.
Kashiwagi shook his head, "No, no, no, I don't know them, I just know people who have been in contact with them - ah!"
Little Lugia hit him with a swoop, looked at his face over and over, and sniffed from time to time. When he found that it was not that familiar face, he immediately became disappointed.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm neither Shuichi, nor Xiaozhi, nor Hiro, but I know them." He said to Lugia and his son.
Hearing the familiar names, Lugia and her son no longer harbored any hostility.
It can be seen that they are still very innocent, thinking that if Kashiwagi can name the person who once rescued them, it must be a friendly existence.
"well……"
Kashiwagi stood up slowly, comforted the Galar Sun Coral with all its smoke-like tentacles stretched out, and said to Quan: "You can ask, I've already finished asking."
"..."
Quan gave him a rather complicated look. As a leader of the Marine Team, he had only met Kyogre and Groudon. How could you, a person from the Orei region, know so many Lugias!?
Kashiwagi took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Shanmin that the confirmation failed. Naturally, this message could not be sent because there was no signal at the bottom of the sea, but he just wanted to vent his frustration.
I finally found one, but I didn't expect it to be Lugia and her son.
So where would Lugia in the Orle region go? Let alone a ravine with no one around.
How about asking this mother and son?
It's possible that there is an unknown communication group between Lugia and Lugia. You might think that Lugia's design prototype seems to include a beluga whale, and whales can send messages by chirping...
…
Making a bold guess, he couldn't help but look at Lugia and her son.
At this time, Aquan had successfully finished asking. There was no doubt that Lugia and his son had no choice but to leave Whirlpool Island and settle in the waters of the Hoenn region because they had been persecuted by Team Rocket before.
But now that they have been discovered by humans, they will naturally continue to choose to follow the ocean currents to other places.
Although they are essentially bird Pokémon, Crogias are not classified as resident birds or migratory birds. They can go anywhere by relying on the ocean currents, or they can settle in one place for thousands of years, just depending on their will.
Aquan got the reason and retired with great satisfaction. At this time, the marine team also received news that his companion was just fainting and the submarine was intact.
Kashiwagi stepped forward again and asked Lugia and her son if they knew about Lugia located near the Ourei area.
After the two looked at each other, it was obvious that they didn't quite understand what the Ore region was.
"Just...um...do you recognize a Lugia that flew from the north?" Kashiwagi tried to show the map to the Lugia mother and son, but they still couldn't understand it.
The curse of knowledge makes it difficult to communicate with each other normally.
And when he tried to ask about the locations of all Lugias in the world, Lugia mother and son also shook their heads regretfully.
They have almost no contact or communication with their own kind, and everyone is focused on their own affairs.
