The Heiluga hanging on Darkrai provided great help, but the sudden heavy rain made Luther's tracking difficult, and the smell continued to fade.
However, Mira's escape direction was very concise and clear, as if she was heading straight in a certain direction, which made Heiluga's identification much less difficult.
Darkrai and Gardevoir also used their mental power to sense the remaining traces on the ground midway, and the direction was correct.
Darkrai relied on his flexible movement to quickly shuttle through the dense forest, while Luther was in a trance hanging on him.
The reason why he agreed to Oleander's request was because he saw the guilt in Oleander's eyes.
In fact, they didn't owe Luther anything. They didn't do anything wrong. It was others who were wrong.
If leaving the frontal battlefield would make them feel a little better, Luther would be willing to do so.
Dieffenbachia's life or death was uncertain in the explosion of the underground base. Even if he survived, others would control him and leave him to Luther, so Luther could rest assured to pursue Mira.
However, Luther didn't know how to face Mira.
Mira is the only outlier among the crowd. She is like a sheep that went astray and got mixed up with the wolves.
In order to save her life, she could only pretend to be a wolf.
Until this moment, Luther was still hesitating whether to kill Mira or let Mira leave Sinnoh and call it a day.
Luther's body became heavier and heavier, and his vision became blurred from time to time.
Ever since we set out, this strong discomfort has been coming intermittently, and now it has developed into chest tightness, and even breathing has become a bit short.
He didn't say anything to anyone. Even though Karuna asked him again how he was doing, he still cheered up and said he was fine.
This seemed to be the first time he got sick in this world, but it happened at such an untimely time.
Darkrai, who was moving forward rapidly, suddenly braked suddenly, almost throwing Luther away in a daze.
Darkrai and Heiluga looked to the side of the route they were moving forward. Heiluga kept twitching his nose, his pupils shrank, and he let out a low roar in that direction.
The way Heiluga licked the soles of his feet made Luther understand what they meant.
It's the taste of blood.
Darkrai no longer moved forward rapidly, but cautiously led Luther closer to the source of the bloody smell.
At first, Heiluga could only smell a vague smell. The closer he got, the stronger the smell of blood became. Soon, even Luther could clearly smell the pungent smell of blood.
Suddenly, Darkrai stood in front of Luther, his mental power exploded, and he searched the area diligently, keeping an eye on every plant and tree.
Looking past Darkrai's body, Luther saw a corpse with hollow eyes lying not far away, and the red color in the small puddle beside it had not dissipated.
Under the protection of the two elves, Luther walked forward slowly.
On the empty grass, five corpses were lying in random directions, and the amplifier devices were scattered all over the ground. Luther accidentally stepped on a mechanical part, which startled the highly nervous Heiluga, and Darkrai even lifted it up.
Hand, Wave of Evil is ready to launch.
These six people were the members of the rabble who were tracked down. They had a fierce battle with Mira. Looking at the corpses, it was clear that Mira won.
It's strange that the ground here was like a plowed mud field due to the fighting, but... not a single elf was seen.
The amplification device was shattered on the ground, but there were no elves?
Luther endured his dizziness and carefully scanned the ground, trying to find the elf ball covered in mud, but found nothing.
Just when Luther was about to walk forward and check behind the boulder, a Gengar emerged from the shadow.
Darkrai had already sensed it, and reached out his hand first, pressing down Gengar's shadow claw, grabbing him, and forcefully pulling him out of the shadow.
Luther, who was still in shock, found Geng Gui staring at him blankly. After a while, Geng Gui pointed excitedly not far away and shouted at Luther, with such strength that he almost broke free from Darkrai's shackles.
Luther's heart tightened, and an uneasy feeling spread in his heart. He walked quickly behind the stone.
Mira leaned quietly against the stone, her golden hair draped over her shoulders, revealing her delicate face. At this moment, she tilted her head as if she was asleep.
His abdomen was bright red. Luther carefully tried to breathe, then squatted down tremblingly, covering his head feebly.
Luther was so upset that it was difficult to breathe. He stood up, looked at the sky, and walked around as if he had lost his soul.
Luther discovered that although he kept saying that the mob must die, he never had much hatred for Mira.
Beside Mira, there are five elf balls.
At the last moment of her life, for unknown reasons, Mira took back all the elves, leaving only another Gengar who had been hiding outside for a long time and did not participate in the battle.
Luther, who was confused, found that Gengar had handed him his backpack.
The moment Luther took the backpack, he vaguely saw Mira who turned to face the enemy. She was so determined.
Gengar's body was trembling, and there was uncontrollable sadness in his eyes.
Gardevoir and Darkrai helped Luther block the rain, and Luther slowly opened his backpack.
There were very few things in Mira's backpack, just a few pieces of organized clothing, some snacks that seemed to be eaten to relieve fatigue on the road, and letters and documents that were carefully wrapped.
In the only mezzanine is a travel guide to the Alola region and a small amount of money.
The corners of the travel guide were a bit worn due to being read for a long time. After opening it, every page had symbols written by Mira. It was very messy. Probably only she knew how to understand it.
Luther didn't read page by page. His heart seemed to be tightened. He hastily turned to the last page of the travel guide. However, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small line of writing in the corner.
"Would it be better to escape here?"
Luther held the travel guide and sighed.
She really wanted to escape, escape to a place where no one knew her, give up her dream of becoming an excellent trainer, give up the idea of fighting against champions, and live quietly.
Since she wanted to escape, why should she look back? Luther didn't believe that these rotten fish and shrimps could stop her.
The shuttlecock's flash of light allowed Luther to see the recipient's name on the letter in the corner.
Luther trembled inwardly and looked up at Gengar.
Drawn by Geng Gui's spiritual power, the letter floated out and flew to Luther.
Luther shakily tore open the envelope.
"Winner of the Lily of the Valley Competition, you should find it satisfying to call you that, right?"
"I should already be in Hoenn when you receive this letter. Don't come looking for me. It took me so long to escape. Mira, the rabble, I hope you can treat her as dead."
"Luther, I'm jealous of you, I'm really jealous of you. I heard from Evergreen that you always talked about misfortune for a while, thinking that you were unlucky, or complaining about your bad fortune."
"But, you know what?"
"Every time I see you on TV or being the center of attention during a live broadcast, I hate you."
"You have Sirona's attention and Carunai's care. Because the appearance of Dieffenbachia is a blessing in disguise, you have entered the circle of champions. They value you, appreciate you, and protect you out of guilt, allowing you to fully explore your talents."
"In the dead of night, I always wonder, what is the difference between you and me? Why can you show off your talents to the fullest and become known to the world little by little, while I can only sit in the basement, in the shadows, silently watching you grow?
, take away all the things I desire.”
"In the end I found out, it was just my bad luck, that's all."
"If I hadn't met Dieffenbachia that day, hadn't been deceived into the mob, and hadn't become one of them, would I have been able to stand on the stage of the Lily of the Valley Conference with you?"
"Is it my fault that I joined the mob? What did I do wrong? I didn't make a choice at all, so I was coerced into going the wrong way."
"A teenage boy has to make his way among a group of lunatics and show off his abilities to prevent them from treating him like trash. Have you ever thought about how I lived?"
"I can often see the captured elves wailing before being studied, as if they are asking me for help, but I can't do anything. You think I am as hard as iron and willing to be a tool for the mob. I dare not resist and have no choice.
Bloody, right?”
"But how old was I then? I wanted to live. Was I wrong?"
"The elves I cultivated are so outstanding. I want to live to show my talents to others. Am I wrong?"
When Luther saw the words at the end of the letter, his hands trembled, his nose became sore, and tears mixed with rain and flowed down his cheeks.
"The information that Gray Stone got was sent out after I collected it. If you don't believe it, you can ask Gray Stone to verify it. There is a pattern of a naughty bullet I drew in it."
"In addition, I want to say sorry to you. I have always known where your parents' elves are, but I didn't tell them. I just hope that one day I can use them in exchange for something. I know that I am very small. Obviously you and them are looking forward to it."
To meet each other."
"Deep in the snowy mountains of Qifeng City, Fat Keding, Big Mouth Frog, and Ice Snow Dragon have settled there. I also accidentally discovered them to help the leaders collect ice elves. Every time I pass by nearby, I will bring some to them.
food."
"They live a very good life, and none of the elves nearby are their match."
"I have given up my dream of challenging for the championship and giving up showing my strength and talent. I just want to live quietly. Please, let the champions stop chasing me."
"We will see you later."
The signer is the unlucky Mira.
Holding the letter in hand, Luther stood there for a long time.
Looking at this confusing letter, his tears could no longer be suppressed.
Luther, who hugged Mira tightly, finally understood the source of his conflicting feelings about Mira in his heart.
She never wants to make mistakes, but she is always forced to do them.
In front of the Yangxin City Gym, Luther could not understand the meaning of Mira's burning gaze when she looked at him.
Now he understands that it is envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Mira fought many times and helped Gray Stone obtain important inside information.
Helped Luther hide information about his parent elves.
Even in the previous battle, she was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of elves, but she still persisted in attacking the amplifying device and liberating the controlled elves.
She kept her bottom line, but she didn't wait for someone to protect her.
She has been alone since childhood.
Even until death.
All understanding of her came so late that Luther didn't even have time to say sorry for his misunderstanding of her.
