People in the Elf: God rewards hard work and I become stronger at the speed of light Chapter 131

Whoosh!

The rain intensified, pouring down as if floodgates had opened, showering the balcony with countless arrows and forming millions of waterfalls from the eaves.

The scenery outside the window became increasingly blurred, the downpour seemingly veiling everything in a light mist, making it hard to discern.

Dark clouds rolled, and angry waves surged.

Though it was evening.

The gloomy sky showed not a trace of light; black clouds pressed down, as if about to collapse.

And at this moment.

Inside suite 602 of the Lanpurqi Grand Hotel, located far from the coastline yet offering a perfect sea view.

Bai Ze was playfully teasing and feeding a small creature that resembled a pterodactyl yet also a bird-like beast in his arms… Lugia.

That’s right,

What he held in his arms was a Lugia hatchling, and this Lugia hatchling was the little guy that had climbed up from the rain curtain on the balcony earlier.

For some unknown reason, this little guy seemed to have an exceptionally high innate affinity for him.

Just meeting for the first time, after cautiously sniffing around, it immediately pounced into his arms, whimpering and begging for food… Truly, it didn’t treat him like a stranger at all!

At first, he thought it was due to the [God-Summoning Conch].

But after trying, he found out.

The little guy didn’t seem to react much to the [God-Summoning Conch]; after curiously nudging it twice, it simply pushed it aside.

Then, it once again snuggled into his arms, squirming and rolling, acting as if he wasn’t a stranger.

This intimacy,

Seemed to originate from himself…

“Woo woo~”

Lost in thought, Bai Ze casually fed the small Lugia in his arms a Psychic-type energy cube. As the creature happily whimpered, its azure eyes shone with a brilliant light invisible to others.

Suddenly, rows of data panels appeared in his vision—

[Pokémon: Lugia]

[Type: Psychic/Flying]

[Ability: Pressure, Multiscale (Hidden Ability)]

[Level: Novice Beginner (Level 12, 60/100)]

[Potential: First-tier Legendary]

[HP: 106, Attack: 90, Defense: 130, Special Attack: 90, Special Defense: 154, Speed: 110]

[Exclusive Skill: Aeroblast (Cyclone Attack)]

[Skills: Whirlwind, Weather Ball, Rain Dance, Extrasensory, Water Gun, Safeguard, Recover]

[Status: Extremely poor, continuously infected by Dark-type psychic energy]

[Description: As the only child of the Legendary Pokémon ‘Sea God’ Lugia, who presides over duties, it is still very weak despite its immense potential. However, anyone who wishes to harm it must face the wrath of the Sea God Lugia!]

…

It’s the child of a Legendary Pokémon with a presiding authority, the ‘Sea God’ Lugia, from a top-tier Legendary lineage?

And, it’s just a newly hatched infant?

What a joke?!

How could the Sea God Lugia allow its child, a, um… a, uh…

“Woah~”

The small Lugia in his arms suddenly let out a soft cry, its cheeks puffed out, and its moist, big eyes stared adorably at Bai Ze’s downward-looking eyes. It suddenly stopped chewing and gave Bai Ze a bright smile.

Alright!

Little cutie!

How could it allow such a little cutie to stray from its sight and come to the dangerous human world alone?

Is its heart that big?

As a presiding deity, does it not realize what it means for a top-tier legendary hatchling like its child to be exposed to human eyes?

Also…

“Continuously infected by Dark-type psychic energy?”

Bai Ze’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and the expression in his eyes fluctuated intensely.

The offspring of a presiding deity, harmed by ‘someone’?!

This thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

Immediately after,

Another doubt arose… Who exactly has the ability and the courage to harm the offspring of a top-tier legendary, a presiding deity, who has a lineage?

Dark-type, then…

Yveltal?

But that shouldn’t be!

Not to mention Yveltal is in Kalos, far beyond reach.

Even if they had a grudge, based on its behavior in the original work, if there was truly enmity, it would have probably attacked directly long ago. Why would it resort to such a scheme? It would simply lose face as the God of Destruction!

Furthermore,

Kalos isn’t without something to restrain it. Not to mention its old rival, the Life Pokémon Xerneas.

Just the extremely responsible Zygarde, who constantly talks about balance and order, probably wouldn’t let Yveltal run wild.

So what could be the reason…

At this moment, Bai Ze’s mind was in a tangled mess.

But one thing.

Bai Ze vaguely understood how this sudden and intensifying downpour came about… Legend has it that Lugia merely flapping its wings can cause a 40-day storm!

And now,

What kind of upheaval would a mother Lugia, who might have lost her offspring, cause?

It’s likely,

This storm is just a prelude!

So…

Should he blow this [God-Summoning Conch] or not?

Bai Ze’s expression was uncertain.

He wasn’t sure what state Lugia was in at the moment… What if it was in a berserk state, and upon meeting, it unleashed an Aeroblast… Damn! Wouldn’t he die a wrongful death?

But if he didn’t resolve this matter, who knew what kind of upheaval a rampaging presiding legendary beast would cause…

While he was pondering.

“Woo~~~”

A low whimper came, and Bai Ze looked down to see black patterns crawling onto the small Lugia’s body, causing the little guy to tremble uncontrollably, its small face wrinkled and appearing very painful.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, it’ll be fine soon~”

Bai Ze’s expression tightened, not daring to think of anything else. He quickly cradled the small Lugia, comforting it while the Bai Ze Force within him surged out frantically!

…

…

At the same time.

Deep sea.

In a trench ten thousand meters below, a bird-like white silhouette flew down like an arrow, and soon, entered a dim cave.

Gurgle—

Amidst bubbling and flickering light, the white silhouette passed through and revealed its form.

A massive figure, identical to the small Lugia.

It was the Sea God Lugia!

And at this moment,

This presiding deity of the Lugia clan was behaving unusually. Its agitated psychic energy, flying energy, and even its authority continuously surged, giving off a feeling that it could erupt at any moment.

It quickly scanned the bright cave, which was different from the outside world.

Finally,

It focused its gaze on the gray-black figure in the deepest part, locked by countless honeycomb-shaped divine energy barriers.

Layers of thick,漆black mist surged around this figure, seemingly devouring light the instant it approached, making it impossible to discern its true appearance.

“Is it you!”

“Tell me, what did you do to my child?!”

This telepathic voice almost tangibly affected reality, creating ripples within the brightly lit cave.

“How terrifying, Sea God-sama…”

The voice from the mist carried a clear hint of mockery, a deep malice spreading throughout the cave; “I merely sent that curious little fellow a small gift, and by the way, showed it a clear path, heh~”

“You’re asking for death!”

This laughter clearly ignited Lugia’s fury. Without any visible movement, a surging psychic force instantly invaded the divine energy barrier and gradually solidified, turning into a solid state.

Then,

As Lugia flapped its wings, a dull explosion accompanied by a low, pained groan echoed.

The figure enveloped in mist was pressed tightly against the divine energy barrier.

A ‘creaking’ sound, like grinding bone and flesh…

“Hahahaha! Hahahaha!”

But even so, the gray-black figure remained exceptionally wild, laughing loudly and shouting: “Don’t bother, Lugia, this divine energy barrier traps me, but it also protects me! Heh heh, unless you open the divine energy barrier, you can’t kill me!”

“You…!”

Lugia’s silver teeth were almost ground to dust, and the surging energy fluctuations around its body spread outwards, causing an even more violent tremor throughout the entire ocean.

And with the neutralization of these vast psychic energy fluctuations.

The mist composed of materialized Dark-type energy factors gradually dissipated.

Revealing the figure imprisoned within the divine energy barrier…

………………………………………………………………………………..

PS: ‘Sea God’ has always been the respectful title for Lugia in the Kanto and Johto regions. Of course, there’s also the ‘Wind God’ title circulated in Fula City. However, I’ve set its authority based on the original Pokémon history, ‘Lugia was born in the ocean to maintain the ocean currents’—hence [Ocean Currents]. As for Kyogre, it’s an ancient Pokémon that created the sea, so its authority is set as [Ocean]~
