Chapter 427: The Disaster Pokémon, Absol
Of course, this was just making a temporary wish.
Whether he could get it still depended on whether the [Heart of Wishing] would be cooperative.
"Let's rest, Senior Sister...."
Xue Nai replied with an "mhm," suddenly feeling that she couldn't be of much help by coming along, and couldn't help but feel a little down.
Actually, her Pokémon's strength was by no means weak among her peers.
Each of her Pokémon had reached the mid-to-late Lord tier.
Her Absol's strength after Mega Evolution even approached the mid-Master tier.
But Xue Nai knew very well that half of this was his credit.
The hotel they booked had a double bed, so Hikaru naturally climbed onto the other bed.
However, after the lights were out, before he even closed his eyes, he could feel a soft, fragrant, delicate body slip into his quilt.
"Senior Sister?"
At twelve o'clock in the dead of night, the darkness was like ink, and the room was also silent. Under the perception of his Aura power, Hikaru could still see his senior sister's bright eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Hikaru turned on his side on the bed.
Xue Nai also turned on her side to face Hikaru. Although she couldn't see the expression on his face, she knew his gaze was on her. After thinking for a moment, she still voiced what was in her heart, "I feel a little upset.."
"..."
Hikaru was silent for a moment and quickly realized the source of his senior sister's anxiety.
It should be that today's events had triggered the worries in her heart, and she felt that when he went out, she could only wait anxiously in the room.
"I just feel a little useless..."
Xue Nai fumbled around inside the quilt and finally held his hand.
The three of them had long since spoken frankly.
If anyone felt pressure, they must say it in time and not let it accumulate in their heart.
Hikaru placed his other hand on her head, stroking through her smooth hair, "Did today's events make you worry?"
"Mhm... not entirely," Xue Nai's voice was somewhat distant. "No, I was thinking, if it were Xiao Ye (Sakura) following you, she could help you. Her Pokémon are a bit stronger. If it were me, would I possibly become a burden?"
"What are you thinking..." Hikaru found it a bit amusing. "If it were her, she would only think about where to have fun. Like today, she's not as rational as you; she would definitely have insisted on coming with me."
"Besides, Senior Sister, didn't you say you stayed in Wind City for a long time? We're going to Wind City next, and we'll have to rely on you to lead the way!"
"You talk about Xiao Ye (Sakura) like that, aren't you afraid I'll tell on you?"
Xue Nai said in a huff.
After getting along for a while, when facing them, Hikaru was no longer as meek as he was at the beginning, and his courage had grown.
"No, no, no," Hikaru quickly begged for mercy, then gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Don't think too much, Senior Sister. In terms of Pokémon strength, Xiao Ye (Sakura) can't beat me now either. There are some things I won't let her follow, I still won't let her follow."
The man's pleading tone relaxed Xue Nai's mood a little, but she couldn't help but say, "I just wanted to help you."
Hikaru asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Xue Nai slapped away the hand that was still playing with her hair, "Both Xiao Ye (Sakura) and I!"
"Alright, alright, go to sleep, Senior Sister. It's very late. When we get to Wind City, how about we have a battle?"
"...If you want to bully me, just say it directly. No need to talk about a battle."
Xue Nai really wanted to roll her eyes at this person, but thinking that it was too dark to see, she felt an indescribable frustration.
Battling Pokémon with him, how could she possibly win?
Hikaru quickly explained, "No, no, Senior Sister, it's Bulbasaur and Garchomp. Those two little guys are still in their Lord tier."
Bulbasaur was now level 47.
As for Garchomp, it had just entered the Lord tier.
The strength of these two was just about the same as his senior sister's Pokémon.
A round of battling would be perfect for honing their battle skills.
"Oh..."
"Go to sleep... Senior Sister..."
"I can't really sleep..."
"..."
"Then... shall we talk about Wind City?"
"Sure..."
...
...
Wind City.
A gentle breeze blew past. By the sea, even in February, the sunlight was exceptionally warm.
After saying goodbye to Mew who was beside him, Hikaru looked down below.
This was Wind City's gentle breeze zone, where Flying-type Pokémon were allowed to fly. So, Hikaru didn't have Latias turn invisible, just flying directly in the sky like this.
"Speaking of which, I feel quite attached to this city. I captured both Togekiss and Absol on the back mountain of Wind City~"
Looking at the familiar place below, Xue Nai behind him said softly.
"The back mountain of Wind City? Is it there?"
Hikaru also became interested, turning his gaze towards the high mountain with lush forests behind them.
The aura of that Legendary Pokémon was also there.
Xue Nai nodded, "Just during the Youth League preliminaries, a rumor somehow started spreading in Wind City that a very special Pokémon had appeared on the back mountain!"
"At that time, it attracted a large group of trainers to go capture it."
Hikaru asked curiously, "And then you picked up the spoils?"
"Not really. After they found out it was an Absol, most trainers gave up on capturing it. Besides, Absol's own strength wasn't weak. I just found it outrageous, them saying Absol was a disaster beast..."
Xue Nai said with some frustration.
"Hahaha..." Hikaru laughed and explained, "I see. It's mainly that they won't think from a different perspective."
"Think about it. Although Absol's appearance is often accompanied by disaster, in reality, isn't it also forewarning us that a disaster is about to happen here?"
"It clearly serves as an early warning, yet it's been branded by humans with the reputation of a disaster beast. Speaking of which, it's quite difficult for it."
"What you say is also true..."
...
...
Wind City—Pokémon League Center.
Du Xiao, the League Branch Chairman of Wind City, had a grave expression.
Before him was a huge screen. The screen showed a blue sea area, and in the very center of this sea area were several spiral shapes.
"A level-twelve tsunami..."
"It can't be those two big guys fighting in the sea again, can it?"
Looking at the tornadoes that had formed in just a few short minutes, the staff beside him all started to panic.
In the Pokémon world, for an ordinary tornado, with Water-type and Flying-type Pokémon around, it couldn't stir up any waves at all.
But like this, with several level-twelve tornadoes appearing at once, it could no longer be resolved by ordinary Pokémon alone.
"Issue a city-wide alert, have everyone evacuate to the mountains! Also, gather all Water-type Pokémon trainers, and request aid from other cities..."
