But at this time, Latios next to him shook his head.
"I plan to become a drop in the heart of this city and restore this city to its former state..."
The steady sound of telepathy sounded in everyone's minds.
Although, it is still intermittent, and it seems that this ability is not very proficient.
Heart drops.
In essence, it is actually the crystallization of the soul that was born after the death of Latias or Latios.
What a drop of heart can do, naturally, Latios himself can also do.
"Wait a minute, are you sacrificing yourself?!"
Xiaozhi blurted out.
After saying this, Latios just looked at Ash with an expression that looked like he was a fool.
"I just need to connect my spiritual power with the island, and I won't die..."
Latios explained intermittently:
"But the price is that I can't leave the sea area around this island unless I find a new heart drop to take my place..."
Of course, this isn't entirely a bad thing.
Water City... This is no ordinary island, it has a unique energy.
The spirit is connected with it, and Latios will officially become the patron saint of the Water City.
This is a real priesthood, not just a word of mouth among locals.
Just like Celebi is the forest god of Tung Grove.
However, the latter's current forest range has almost covered the two regions of Kanto and Johto, and it is even continuing to expand outwards.
"That's a good thing."
Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, it sounded okay.
Latios nodded, he is a warlike Pokémon...
Once he officially settles here, he will be able to meet other Latios who are on vacation every few months, and then challenge them.
Latios are a group of people who basically wander around the world in pairs.
"Wuwu..."
Latias changed back to his original form, and moved forward to grab his brother's paw, looking quite reluctant to let go.
She seemed to have a premonition of something.
I saw Latios looking at Xiaozhi, and his calm telepathy revived.
"But there is no need for my sister to stay here with me... She likes the human world. I hope you can take her to see the human world..."
Latios didn't know any humans, and Ash was one of the few humans.
Considering that he has enough combat power and a righteous heart... it is the only choice.
There is another point, Latios did not tell the whole story.
He always felt that there was still an undeveloped power hidden within himself and his sister.
This power... seems to require help from humans in order to be fully unleashed.
Latios and Xiaozhi looked at each other for a long time before the latter nodded solemnly.
"I understand, then let me take care of Latias."
Xiaozhi patted his chest and assured the latter.
"Wu..."
Latias was pushed gently by her brother, and then she timidly floated around Xiaozhi's body, looking at Xiaozhi with big tear-filled eyes.
Finally, his expression gradually revealed a smile, and his two dragon-shaped claws hugged Xiaozhi's head.
The intimacy between one person and one dragon is not low.
"Yeah, but remember to help find the Heart Drops along the way..."
Latios did not forget to remind him.
Whether it's the missing one, or a new one... After all, Latios is a tribe, and whenever someone dies, a Heart Drop will be born.
Staying here for 1 or 2 years is not a big problem, it just allows him to challenge a few more of the same kind.
But if he stayed for 5, 6 years, or even more... it would be like torture to Latios.
But in front of me, looking at Latias carrying Xiao Zhi flying into the sky for fun, it seemed that he didn't hear his instructions at all.
Latios: "..."
This sister, won’t she have forgotten her brother now?
Da da da...!
Xiaozhi even opened his backpack completely, poured out a variety of Poké Balls, and let Latias choose a new home.
Ash was very happy to have another legendary Pokémon join the team.
The day is not far away when he can gather a team of mythical beasts!
"Wu~!"
Latias was confused among the elf balls scattered in front of him, and finally took a fancy to one of the elf balls, and without thinking, he reached out his paw to touch it.
"Wait a minute, don't choose this ball!!"
Seeing that something seemed to be wrong, Xiaozhi quickly stopped him.
Whoosh!!
Just the next second, Latias was sucked into the elf ball.
After shaking three times, it stopped moving.
Latias, conquered successfully!
"..."
With a silent look on his face, Xiaozhi picked up the pink-colored Poké Ball with a big heart engraved on the surface.
People nearby: "?"
They didn't understand why Xiaozhi looked like this. Isn't it just an ordinary love ball?
"Forehead..."
In the end, Xiaozhi didn't explain much.
I don’t know how powerful Mr. Steel is, I hope it’s not too outrageous.
The bond between a Pokémon and its trainer should not deteriorate...
"Then I will find a new Heart Drop and bring it back within 2 years."
Finally, after Ash gave Latios a promise, he left this area.
...
In the dusk.
When Ash returns to the Pokémon Center.
The stiffness and breathless feeling of the whole city suddenly disappeared at a certain moment.
Even the sea water on the street next to it began to flow again.
"Have everything recovered..."
Seeing this, Xiaozhi stood on the shore, looking at the sparkling golden sea surface under the dusk, and breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Xiaoxia was the only one left in the leisure area at the entrance of the Elf Center.
"We will be boarding the plane soon, they are already waiting for us over there."
Xiaoxia dragged her luggage, and next to her, Xiaozhi's luggage was also brought out.
"Oh, thanks, by the way, Xiaoxia, let me tell you something..."
Xiaozhi grabbed his luggage and couldn't wait to share his recent experience with his friends, but he didn't notice that Xiaoxia's face looked a bit lonely at this moment.
"Xiao Zhi, I also have something to tell you..."
However, Xiaoxia interrupted Xiaozhi.
She just slowly jumped over Xiaozhi and walked to the shore of the alley, staring at the sea water in front of her.
Xiaozhi: "?"
He scratched his head, not knowing what the latter was going to say.
"I can't continue traveling with you to the next Fangyuan area."
Finally, Xiaoxia sighed and said.
Her three sisters are going to perform water performances in other places for a year, so she can only stay and guard the Hualan Gym.
Hualan Gym is the wealth left by the ancestors, Xiaoxia does not dare to throw it aside and let it close.
"And I have been traveling outside for more than a year. Now it's my turn to stay in the gym..."
Xiaoxia has a dream.
But her three sisters also have their own dreams.
"That's it..."
Xiaozhi sighed, a little caught off guard, and the Pikachu on his shoulder also lowered its ears.
Although the two people who had just met seemed to be the most likely to argue among the team.
But after traveling together for so long, the relationship between the two has long since disappeared from the initial barrier, and is more like...
A pair of besties?
"No, this is a gift for you."
At this time, Xiaoxia turned around and threw a small device, and Xiaozhi subconsciously caught it.
The first thing I started with was a fishing bait with Xiaoxia’s Q-version avatar.
"This is my special version of fishing bait. It can help you catch rare water-type Pokémon~"
Xiaoxia let herself smile and said.
She seems to have gotten used to traveling with the former.
Finally, she extended her fist to Xiaozhi.
"Next, you have to become the most powerful Pokémon Master...!"
Xiaozhi came back to his senses, carefully put away the bait, bumped fists with Xiaoxia, and looked directly at each other.
"You also want to become the most powerful water-type trainer!!"
At dusk, the shadows of the two people stretched diagonally and fell on the flowing water next to them...
...
...
...
postscript.
The plane landed in Kuye City, and then everyone returned to their hometowns at a crossroads.
When Xiao Lan returned home, she began to pack her luggage for this vacation.
Most of them are clothes, decorations and other luxuries bought by Bilan.
"In a few years, you can wear it too~"
Bilan was lying on Xiaolan's big bed in a human form.
"How many years? Clothes will no longer be fashionable by then..."
Xiaolan had no choice but to pack up all these luxuries, not knowing where Sister Bilan's money came from.
Clang.
At this time, a crystal clear blue glass ball suddenly fell out of one of the bags, with strange energy fluctuations emitting from the surface.
Xiao Lan: "?!"
If she read it correctly, this should be the legendary drop of heart water...?
"Oh, um... I thought those two little thieves were too arrogant, so I cut off all their belongings the night before, haha~!"
Bilan said quite proudly.
How dare you call yourself the best thief in the world in front of her?
Puff puff...!
Bilan turned back into a strange monster and turned into a puddle of soft mud and fell on the bed, her body completely fitting the bed board.
Not to mention, sleeping like this is much more comfortable than the human body.
Xiao Lan: "..."
The water drop of the heart that originally disappeared was stolen by you early in the morning!?
