Sirona and Cattleya went out for fun, and Karuna returned to Carlos to handle work matters. The only ones idle on the island were Kikuno, Daigo, and Adu.
After hearing about the incident from Huoyan, everyone immediately set off in the direction indicated by Groudon.
Mana Fei kept circling around Mai, who was protected by Cresselia. Along the way, she had seen many water elves swimming around because of nervousness.
In their description, an elf appeared in the sea that frightened them. Her aura was overwhelming. Wherever she passed, a large number of elves were trembling and did not dare to speak loudly.
The boundary of Mana Fei's fog wall is right in front of you. It is a barrier she has set up for the island to prevent people with ulterior motives who want to sneak into the island secretly.
The elf sensed by Groudon was currently waving its wings quietly under the sea not far behind the wall of fog, setting off whirlpools on the sea.
Mana Fei dove into the sea and swam out of the boundary. Under the sea water illuminated by the sun, she saw Lugia with her head lowered and her wings spread.
They are both outstanding among sea creatures. Although the two sides have never met, the inherited memories made them recognize each other immediately.
"Is this your territory?"
Lugia immediately asked his question.
She traced the strange aura all the way here, and after seeing the little figure of Manafei, she already figured out what one of the auras was.
All that's left is the essence of that burning breath.
Manafei shook her head desperately: "I just came to Qi Island to play."
"Play..." Lugia tasted the word with the air of an elder, and at the same time sensed the people appearing on the sea not far away.
Lugia was stunned by this perception. After a while, she rolled up her wings, wrapped the screaming Mana Fei in the water and flew out of the sea, passed through the fog wall, and came to Mai and others.
"Wow..." Daigo couldn't help but sigh as he watched the water drops falling from Lugia's body, forming a crystal rain curtain in front of his eyes.
The shocking scene of Lugia domineeringly spreading his wings and soaring into the sky, blocking the sun and casting shadows, made Adu feel a little dazed.
After being briefly surprised, Mai smiled and stretched out her hand, waving to Lugia.
"Luther said that you will definitely arrive before Phoenix King, and it is indeed true."
Lugia fell heavily into the water and caused a wave of waves. When Lugia emerged from the water again, he had already arrived at Mai's side.
The huge head hung down, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if he was smiling.
"He's not in now?"
Mai heard Lugia's telepathy, and reluctantly explained to Lugia the reason why Luther left Sinnoh.
"I see... He left the Phoenix King's feathers behind to guide me."
When he and Lugia separated, they had not decided to buy the island, so they could not leave her a specific address where they could meet again. Therefore, both parties agreed to return to the deserted island on the same day three years later.
However, as Luther was about to travel to Galar, he might not be able to return in time. For this reason, he was worried about misunderstandings after Lugia couldn't find Little Silver.
Ever since he obtained the Rainbow Feather from the Phoenix King, Luther has kept it close to his heart and even kept it in his room on Qidao.
For Luther, the Rainbow Feather has extremely important commemorative significance.
It witnessed Luther's process from scratch, from weak to strong.
A life that should have been lost was saved.
Guide the Phoenix King to come and re-establish the bridge of communication with mankind.
It is a token of the promise made with the Phoenix King.
Only this time when he went to Galar, Luther didn't bring it with him, so that both Ho-oh and Lugia could find him.
Moreover, before leaving, Luther hugged Mai and made a bet with her that Lugia would definitely arrive earlier than Phoenix King.
"It seems that he won the bet, so what was the bet?"
Divine beasts are also curious. Lugia blinked his big eyes, his face full of curiosity.
However, Mai blushed and was unwilling to mention it: "Anyway, I will mostly lose when I bet with him, so please don't ask."
Mai introduced Adu, Kikuno, Daigo and Huoyan to Lugia one by one. Lugia confirmed them one by one with his eyes, and then turned his attention back to Mai again.
"I can't feel Xiaoyin's breath, she's not here."
Mai quickly explained: "Like Luther, she is also in Galar."
Knowing the content of the agreement between Lugia and Luther three years ago, she added: "Luther will take Xiaoyin with him every time he travels. Xiaoyin is not like he was three years ago. When you see her again, you will definitely be amazed.
Bright!"
Lugia recalled the area where the name Galar was located. After realizing that it was quite a long distance, he couldn't help but straighten his neck and looked in the direction of Galar.
As a mother, she is really eager to see Xiaoyin now.
"How long until he comes back?"
"If you are very anxious, I will notify Luther and ask him to teleport Xiao Yin back first."
Although it seemed that Lugia communicated well, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Daigo specially spoke faster for Maioi.
"In order to protect Xiaoyin, Luther will subdue Xiaoyin. After all, there are indeed some human beings..."
"No need to say it." Lugia's telepathy interrupted Daigo.
"I have already seen the ugliness of individual human beings, so I have no objection to this move. As long as Xiaoyin is safe and happy."
It's not a problem to talk while floating on the sea. Everyone introduced Qidao and brought Lugia to the island.
When approaching the coast, Lugia looked at the crater visible to the naked eye on the sea level in the distance, and asked with slight doubt: "What is that burning breath?"
Lugia almost forgot about this incident because he cared about Xiaoyin's condition.
The reason why she stopped outside the fog wall was because she was worried about rashly breaking into the private territory of the elf who released this aura and causing a fight.
Huoyan stood up holding the orb and said: "It's Groudon. He also sensed your arrival and mistakenly thought you were an elf that was harmful to the island. Therefore, he specially reminded us to be more vigilant. Now it seems that it was a misunderstanding.
."
As Lugia was welcomed back to the island, the continuously glowing orb in Huoyan's hand had dimmed. The flames that were jumping just now were now like completely extinguished embers, with only a few sparks flickering.
The crater that was smoking before departure has now returned to silence, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Why is Groudon here?"
Under doubt, Lugia decided to continue being a curious baby.
Mai smiled as she recalled the agreement between Groudon and everyone on the island.
"Maybe it's because it's more comfortable to sleep here and it's less likely to be woken up by others."
In fact, Mai and Luther have the same curiosity. Whether Groudon is sleeping or pretending to sleep is really unpredictable.
