The annual fireworks display to commemorate Ho-oh and Lugia was held as scheduled.
The lights swayed like a long glowing river in this ancient city with a long history, surrounding the Bell Tower where the legendary Ho-Oh and Lugia once lived.
The entire Yuanzhu City was shrouded in a layer of hazy firelight.
Enough open space has been cleared on the street, and there are small stalls selling Yuanzhu City specialties, masks, dolls, and food on both sides of the road.
A bustling crowd of people gathered here, either with their families or with their Pokémon companions, walking leisurely through it.
At the end of the road, there is an open-air ceremony platform.
The auditorium under the high stage was filled with people and Pokémon from all over the world.
The kabuki in kimono stood on the high platform, and slowly told people about the history of Enzhu City in the music full of Japanese style.
"A long time ago, the people of Yuanzhu built two towers on this land."
Kabuki stretched out his hands, and the wide cuffs of his kimono slowly swayed in the breeze: "Two tall nine-story towers that stand straight into the clouds, respectively"
She moved her hands gently, and a projection of a tall tower appeared on the pillar behind her: "The Bell Tower, and the Bell Tower."
"One day, two legendary Pokémon came here from a distant place."
"The God of Seven Colors, Phoenix King."
After she finished speaking, the figure of the Phoenix King flying towards the Bell Tower appeared on the large screen behind her. Dots of scales fell from the sky. Under the illumination of the light, they reflected rainbow-like colors, making him look like the Phoenix King.
It's like the light coming from the wings.
"And the sea god, Lugia."
"The Ho-Oh descended on the Bell Tower, and Lugia descended on the Bell Tower."
"People tried to communicate with these two Pokémon, and eventually a deep friendship was established. This friendship lasted until that fateful day 150 years ago when the moonlight illuminated the tower."
As she spoke, a Poké Ball fell from Kabuki's sleeve. The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and a Moon Yinbu landed smoothly in front of her.
Yue Yinbu raised his head high, and the rich moonlight began to gather continuously at this moment, condensing into a beautiful moon with a dull brilliance above everyone's heads.
At this time, Kabuki continued to speak: "150 years ago, Lugia's peaceful time was ruthlessly taken away."
A white light flashed, and Lei Yinbu jumped out of the elf ball. A strong electric light bloomed from its body, which resonated with the group of little magnets above the high platform. For a moment, the entire high platform was illuminated by electric light.
shrouded in it.
"...the roaring thunder, the howling storm, the storm surrounded the entire Yuanzhu City, and at the end, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and suddenly hit the Bell Tower."
After hearing these words, a Fire Yin Bu jumped out immediately behind Moon Yin Bu and Lei Yin Bu, and a burst of fire light burst out from it, covering the high platform.
In the audience, a little sawcrocodile saw this scene and immediately jumped out and used a water gun to put out the fire. But at this critical moment, its trainer blocked its mouth and held it in a hug.
In arms.
Populus euphratica on the side was splashed on the face by water. Looking at the apologetic trainer, he shook his head with a smile and continued to watch the performance.
Kabuki: "Lugia flew high into the sky, causing gusts of wind, but the fire still did not go out. Instead, it burned stronger and stronger. Lugia, he caused a heavy rain to fall in the sky of Enzhu City."
As he spoke, another Poké Ball appeared in Kabuki's hand like a magic trick.
A Water Yin Bu jumped out and stood in front of the Fire Yin Bu, confronting it.
"...The heavy rain and the fierce fire fought fiercely until everything disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Shui Yinbu used his water gun, while Huo Yinbu used his flame jet.
Water and fire merged in mid-air, and then disappeared together. At the same time, all the lights on the high platform were extinguished, and the entire scene fell into silence, as if everything was destroyed in the disaster.
In the audience, people's faces showed worried expressions.
Some timid Pokémon even ran into the arms of their trainers.
dark.
After experiencing a period of dead darkness, a light suddenly lit up from the sky.
The sun has risen.
Kabuki: "After a terrible night, the sun rises again, and a new day begins!"
"Lugia, who lost his bond with humans, was severely hit and left just like that."
"It is still in the deep sea, waiting for someone with a pure heart to appear in front of it."
"In order to prevent people from forgetting what they lost at that time, and to prevent people from making the same mistakes again, the Bell Tower was preserved."
As the graceful and melodious bell rang, the stage play officially came to an end.
The sound of Pokémon crying could be heard in the audience.
Hu Yang turned around and saw a Gengar wiping tears not far away.
He originally wanted his Gengar to look at that Gengar, but when he turned around, he found that his Gengar was also in tears.
"..."
Hu Yang wordlessly took out a tissue to wipe away Gengar's tears, and then stood up and applauded along with the audience.
In the darkness, the figure of a big cat slowly walked out.
Hu Yang saw Emperor Yan and waved to him: "Here he is!"
Emperor Yan naturally also discovered their Rainbow Hero and walked towards them.
Hu Yang took his companions back to the elf ball, and then, amidst everyone's exclamations, he touched Emperor Yan's head and asked, "Where are the Phoenix King and the others?"
Hearing this, Emperor Yan turned around and looked at the sky.
Populus euphratica followed its gaze and saw two sacred figures slowly flying over from a distance in the dark night sky, landing on the top of the Bell Tower and the Bell Tower respectively, looking down at the people below.
The next second, Hu Yang heard voices of excitement, enthusiasm, and surprise from all directions.
"Oh my god?! Those are Ho-oh and Lugia?!"
"That can't be a lie, right? Are they really back?!"
"Huh... help me quickly, I feel a little short of breath... I can't believe it! The two legendary Pokémon have returned to Yuanzhu City after 150 years!"
In addition to these ordinary passers-by, the kabukis, monks, and the elderly in Enzhu City who had always believed in these two mythical Pokémon all shed tears of excitement.
At this moment, the entire Yuanzhu City was enveloped in an unspeakable atmosphere.
Seeing this scene, Hu Yang, who was wearing a demon fox mask, smiled slightly, then turned around and rode on Emperor Yan's back, saying: "Let's go!"
Emperor Yan nodded, jumped up with him, stepped on the roof, and ran towards the distance.
It wasn't until he was far away from the celebration site that Populus euphratica took off the demon fox mask on his face.
This demon fox mask he had bought at a small stall on the roadside, and the mask looked like Zoroark.
Hu Yang quite liked the atmosphere of this fireworks display.
Here, he saw a scene of humans and Pokémon getting along in a friendly way.
Hudi was selling ice cream with the old man at the stall, Pikachu and Yinbu were sitting on the trainer's shoulders, as well as the Yinbu family who had just performed with the kabuki, and the Pokémon who were responsible for the behind-the-scenes work.
Although he was sitting in the audience, Hu Yang could still see the Pokémon on the top of the platform through the power of the waveguide.
For example, the big butterflies that spread scale powder and pretend to be the colorful lights emitting from the wings of the Phoenix King, the big-billed sparrows that pretend to be the Phoenix King's cries, and the little magnets that power the display screen.
When he sat Entei on a hillside far away from the celebration, he found Raikou, Suicune and Mashado already waiting there.
Emperor Yan's thick flesh pad landed smoothly on the grass.
At this time, bright fireworks also rose into the sky and exploded.
Hu Yang held the furry head of Emperor Yan, and turned to look at the scene with the three holy beasts Mashado, and said softly: "It's so beautiful!"
Entei and Suijun nodded slightly. Raikou looked at that scene, and his long-quiet heart was slightly touched at this moment.
With the fireworks display as the background, Hu Yang took out his camera and released Gardevoir, asking him to help him take a photo with Prince Feng and his family.
Gardevoir readily agreed.
Hu Yang directed the three holy beasts and Ma Shaduo to take a posture, with Shuijun on the cloud, Thunder God on the right, and Emperor Yan lying in the middle.
Then he held Marshado in his arms, sat between Yandi's two front paws, with his head on Yandi's plush chin, and telepathically said to Gardevoir: "Okay, let's shoot!"
Gardevoir nodded slightly and then pressed the shutter.
The picture freezes at this moment.
Hu Yang took the photo, turned on the flashlight on his phone, took out a pen, and wrote a line on the back of the photo:
[Populus euphratica and the Three Sacred Beasts, Yuanzhu City Fireworks Display, April 24, 212 in the Alliance Calendar.]
The three big cats and Marshado watched what he was doing, and Suicune asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Hu Yang put the photo into the photo album he carried with him and replied: "Leave a beautiful memory for my future."
As he said that, Hu Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He looked at Mashado and Suicune and said, "We have known each other for four years, right?"
Among the three holy beasts, Suicune and Masado were the first to meet him.
At that time, Suicune was still carried back by the Ancient Moon Bird.
Populus euphratica now finally understands why the ancient moon bird takes the mythical beast in its mouth.
Because from Ancient Moon Bird's point of view, as a trainer, he liked those guys, so it took those mythical beasts back and gave them to him to eat or play with.
After hearing Hu Yang's words, Marshado and Suicune looked at each other a little bit.
For them, counting time is meaningless because they have a very long life.
They never keep time or anything.
Now that they heard Hu Yang's words, Suicune and Marshado couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Has it been four years? So fast!
How many four years can a human being have in his short life?
When thinking about this matter, the three holy beasts will feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
At this time, Phoenix King and Lugia, who had appeared in front of the humans in Yuanzhu City, flew over.
Seeing Lugia, Hu Yang suddenly thought of what he had heard about Dark Lugia from the old sailor of the White Sea Lion. He stood up from Emperor Yan's arms and prepared to go find Lugia and ask.
Has it ever seen Dark Lugia in the sea.
The three holy beasts and Machado looked at each other.
They watched Populus euphratica running towards Lugia, and then turned their attention to King Phoenix.
Lei Gong, who was usually the most silent, stood up, and every detail of the encounter with this human appeared in his mind.
Help it heal its wounds, brush its fur, and rescue it from the bad guys...
Thinking of this, Lei Gong raised his head to look at Feng Wang and asked: "Lord Feng Wang, can you give your power to Populus euphratica..."
Hearing this, King Feng looked at Thunder Lord.
Suicune, who has the gentlest temperament, also took a step forward and said, "He is different from other humans."
Emperor Yan also nodded in agreement: "It would be a pity that such a brave hero of the rainbow should pass away like this."
Ma Sha Duo: "Ma Sha..."
Hearing these words from a group of guys under his command, Feng Wang gently shook his head and said: "My power cannot make a human being gain immortality."
The three holy beasts and Machado raised their heads.
Phoenix King continued: "Birth, old age, illness, and death are things that all humans and Pokémon in this world have to experience."
Hearing this, the three holy beasts and Machado couldn't help but drooped their heads.
The Phoenix King watched this scene calmly, turned his head and glanced at Populus euphratica, and then slowly said:
"But, don't worry."
The three holy beasts raised their heads again.
Phoenix King looked at them and continued: "Even without my power, his life will not come to an end."
The three holy beasts were slightly startled, turned their heads, and looked at the young man who was talking to Lugia not far away.
…
And at the same time.
Hu Yang looked at the God of Ocean and Storm in front of him and asked: "Lugia, have you ever seen a black Lugia in the sea?"
Lugia: "Black Lugia...I have never seen it."
Lugia still had some favorable impressions of the human who rescued his son, so it didn't mind answering some of his questions.
Populus euphratica was a little regretful.
But at this moment, he heard Lugia continue: "However, a long time ago, I felt a very powerful dark force in the depths of the sea, and a cry for help from a guy who was trapped in darkness.
"
"Huh?" Hu Yang was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "Where?"
Lugia replied: "I don't know, it's a place very far away from the Johto area. I only felt it once, and I never found it again."
Hearing this, Hu Yang nodded thoughtfully.
Dark Lugia, from "Pokémon
If he remembered correctly, dark Pokémon are Pokémon whose emotions have been blocked. Because their emotions are blocked, they themselves become soulless fighting machines, and they also exude a kind of energy that normal Pokémon do not have.
The dark aura.
As far as Hu Yang knows, there is also an Orei region in this world, but that region is very far away from other regions and is not large in scale, so it is not that famous.
But this does not mean that the people and Pokémon in that area will be weak.
The Ourei region is an extremely arid region. Most of it is a large desert and a small part is an oasis. There is a volcano standing in the center and there is very little water source. However, it is close to the sea in the west. The terrain of the entire region is generally undulating and there are no normal roads.
It is precisely because of this harsh natural environment that the folk customs there are very strong.
"If you have the chance, you can go there for a walk." Hu Yang said in his heart.
It has been a long time since I received the side quest about Dark Lugia from the old sailor.
Hu Yang had given up all hope, but he didn't expect to get new clues about Dark Lugia from Lugia today.
Looking at the pensive young man in front of him, Lugia thought about it carefully and said, "I can feel that it is in pain and that it is trapped in the darkness."
"Thank you." Hu Yang said his thanks politely, secretly remembering these words in his heart, then looked back at the Three Sacred Beasts and Phoenix King, and asked: "Are you going to return directly to the Whirlpool Islands next?"
Lugia nodded, then let out a cry toward the sky.
Soon, Lugia and her son flew over from a distance.
Taking his wife with him, Lugia glanced at Ho-King, then turned around and flew to the Whirlpool Islands with them.
Little Lugia is at the age of playfulness. Rather than staying in the dark deep sea like his father, he prefers to play in the outside world.
Because of this, it was caught many times by Dr. Nanba from the Whirlpool Islands.
Facing the separation, little Lugia was a little reluctant to give up, looking back three times every step of the way.
Big Lugia noticed his son's movements and couldn't help but feel speechless. He called out to him. Little Lugia immediately concentrated on flying behind his parents.
Seeing this scene, Populus euphratica quietly connected to Little Lugia's waveguide and told it the way to the ecological island, so that it could go there as a guest if it had anything to do. There were many people there who could play with it.
However, due to the fact that Little Lugia was easily captured, Hu Yang thought about it and finally added:
If you want to go, it is best to discuss it with your parents and go there with their parents.
After hearing these words, the little Lugia who was originally a little distracted immediately became energetic and let out an excited cry, causing the two big Lugia beside him to cast doubtful glances at it.
Lugia's father and Lugia's mother looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Is their son stupid?
"I wonder if I can see little Lugia there when I go back to the ecological park." Hu Yang said in his heart.
He thought about it carefully. Kyogre, the god of the sea, and Lugia, the god of ocean currents and storms, shouldn't be mutually exclusive, right?
This is a good research topic.
Thinking of this, Hu Yang turned around and looked at Feng Wang's family of five.
And the five Pokémon were standing on the grass looking at him.
Hu Yang thought about the incident where he had just abducted Lugia cubs to settle on the ecological island.
The ecological island is very tempting for Pokémon, with endless delicious food, hills of energy cubes, many friendly companions to play with, and the best ecological environment in the world.
After all, it was a place created by the God of the Earth and the God of the Ocean!
If little Lugia goes there to play for a while, he might not want to leave.
The two big Lugia might find it too troublesome to travel back and forth between the two places, so they might as well follow Kyogre's example and live in the sea next to them.
When he thought of this, Hu Yang became a little excited.
Jie Jie Jie!
So, Lugia is gone, how can the Ho-oh family be missing?
At this moment, the desire to collect in Hu Yang's heart surged crazily. He looked at Phoenix King with enthusiasm, imitating the monks and kabuki in Yuanzhu City, and said: "Master Phoenix!"
Phoenix King: "..."
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Phoenix King can guarantee that he has never seen anyone else respect him in the eyes of this Rainbow Hero!
And now...
Phoenix King smiled slightly and put on an expression like "I want to see what you want to do."
"You are usually in chaos all over the world...ah no, do you feel tired when traveling around the world?" Hu Yang asked.
King Feng didn't expect this question. He was slightly startled, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Occasionally."
"Then where will you rest?"
"Tian Qing Shan." Feng Wang replied straightforwardly.
Because of this, it was secretly attacked by those Team Rocket guys before.
Hu Yang also thought about this, and he immediately asked: "Then have you considered changing a place to rest?"
King Feng opened his bright red eyes and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Come to my place?" Hu Yang invited: "There are many Pokémon living there. The place is big and safe. You don't have to worry about anyone disturbing you there."
After hearing this, King Feng fell into thinking.
Hu Yang began to consider whether to build a new bell tower for Phoenix King on the island. If the Lugia family also came over, he could also build a new bell tower for them.
After a long while, King Feng gave the answer: "Okay."
Compared to Tianqing Mountain, the territory of the Rainbow Hero is indeed safer.
At this moment, Hu Yang saw a series of "+1, +1, +1" on the column of Feng Wang's favorability.
It went up to 82 and then stopped.
This is already a very high number. If it exceeds 80, it means that Pokémon likes that trainer very much.
If it exceeds 90, it means that the Pokémon is willing to do anything for the trainer and obey all his instructions.
And when it reaches 100, that Pokémon will protect its trainer even if it costs its own life.
You know, the favorability of Groudon and Kyogre barely rose to 50 due to his crazy strategy during the Chinese New Year (referring to feeding and chatting with them every day).
It's incredible that Phoenix King is so tall.
Thinking of this, Hu Yang looked at the Three Sacred Beasts and Machado beside King Feng, and found that their favorability towards him was higher than that of King Feng, reaching a height of 89. Even Thunder Lord was the same.
It's just one step away from reaching the 90 mark.
Hu Yang was very touched. He didn't expect the three big cats to love him so much.
So, the moved Populus euphratica pounced towards the two plush ones.
Suicune and Marshado sat aside and watched this scene gently.
Gorgeous fireworks bloomed above their heads, and just below the hillside was the brightly lit Yuanzhu City.
The beautiful scenery and the boy in front of them were reflected in the eyes of these legendary Pokémon, and it became the most precious and beautiful memory in their memories.
