Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 169: Sea Bell
"This is... a detector used to investigate seabed resources. Perhaps the staff of the Sea Corydalis left it somewhere when they evacuated."

Director Kusunoki explained, but his heart was not as calm as his tone.

It’s not that no one has tried to find this thing afterwards, but the complicated, maze-like place full of wreaking havoc with resentful spirits was a big challenge for many of the people involved back then.

"I see. Thank you for your answer."

Link nodded, put the detector into his backpack as if he had suddenly realized something, and left the Ocean Museum without waiting for the two to say anything more.

Grudges from many years ago, threats from extreme environmental protection organizations, cases that resulted in deaths, the truth behind the abandonment of the Sea Corydalis and the inside story of the bankruptcy of the Great Corydalis.

One after another, old cases surfaced, causing the parties involved, Jinhe, Shui Wutong and Director Nanmu to do whatever it takes...

If it was a sin city like Beikacho where the buildings were full of crazy elements, perhaps Link would have died in the Pokémon Center that night and started a two-episode long choice between three options.

But this is the world of Pokémon after all, and that afternoon, Director Nanmu came to him and spoke frankly, hoping that he could donate the detector to the Marine Science Museum.

Although Link didn't care who the detector belonged to, he was very curious about why Director Nanmu wanted this device.

"It contains data related to the drilling operations of the Sea Corydalis, which is extremely important evidence. With its cooperation, many people will receive the punishment or compensation they deserve."

On the other hand, Shui Wutong will definitely keep an eye on the detector after knowing its existence, so it would be better to give it to him for safekeeping instead of letting Link keep it.

Link pondered for a moment and handed the detector to Director Nanmu.

However, the reward provided by the other party was not the deep-sea fang or deep-sea scale as he had imagined, but a blue bell with white patterns that looked antique and could emit a calming tone.

"Fu?"

The Fire Fox discovered the hidden power in the bell, which was obviously a special and wonderful object.

"This is something that belonged to a subordinate from the Johto region when I was working at the Sea Purple Jasmine... I think he wouldn't mind if I gave it to you as a thank you gift."

Link looked at the bell and roughly understood its true nature.

Sea Bell, an item used to summon Lugia on Whirlpool Island.

As for why this thing appeared in the Hoenn region, it was probably just another old case. He was too lazy to get involved as he had to complete his plan while traveling.

So he simply accepted the bell as a souvenir, stayed away from the troubled city of Kanaz, headed north along the waterway, and once again arrived in Zijin City.

When he came to this happy city for the second time, he found that the layout of many buildings here was different from a month ago, and even the Zijin Gym had undergone new renovations.

While lamenting the rapid changes here, he went to the Elf Center to book a room but found it was fully booked, so he simply took the elves to stay in the hotel in the Violet Food Court for one night...

……

"I'm so full I can't eat any more..."

When Link woke up in the hotel room, he saw a familiar ceiling.

Today is the day they will compete with the island king, Windy Dog!

After all, this time the opponent had the defect of 4 times weak water, and his strength was not improved compared to Axe Mantis and Miss Skirt. With targeted preparation, they quickly found the weakness of the opponent who was full of creation.

That is, using the "Trick Space" to disrupt the opponent's speed. Even if it is shattered at the first moment, as long as it can be disrupted for a moment, the movement of the wind speed dog will be greatly disturbed!
However, before setting off with the assault team, Link asked Myuu about the Ocean Bells and Silver Feathers. He was curious whether Pokémon like Lugia had different tribes in different seas?
"How come you always pick up strange things? This is indeed a prop made a long time ago (seven hundred years ago) when humans still believed in Lugia. However, it is no longer effective after the burning of the Bell Tower."

The Johto region worships the gods with dances that possess mysterious powers.

About 150 years ago, lightning struck the bell tower in Yuzu City...

There should be no need to elaborate on this matter. In the end, Lugia, who was disappointed with humans, left the Bell Tower and settled on Whirlpool Island.

To this day, the family that inherits the ancient dance is still holding on, but has never been able to wait for the destined trainer.

"If it's you, Krillin, you should be able to summon Lugia by going to Whirlpool Island."

Myuu and the elves in the Dream Realm are very confident in his character. Lugia, who has been living in the deep sea because his power is too dangerous, has been waiting for someone like this.

"Then we'll fight, right? I'm not ready to defeat Lugia yet, but if I have another three years I should be ready."

Myuu smiled and turned around. At the moment, they were actually able to defeat Lugia after suppressing his power.

But if the opponent wants to defeat Lugia at his full strength, it will probably take much longer than three years.

“This is a test. In fact, there is no need to wait until then. It would be better to say that you have passed the test from the beginning by being able to reach the realm of dreams?

"And Myuu will tell you a secret. The King of Phoenix has decided that if this year's 'brave hero' can defeat it, he will travel with the other party for a period of time."

Hearing this, Yanre Miao on the side complained: "After being beaten, did you feel that you were not strong enough and needed to find someone to train yourself?"

"Well, that's about it."

With the help of Linkla from the Treasure Hall, Ho-Oh challenged Mengtian twice in total.

The first time we suffered a great defeat.

The second time, he called on the Ho-oh Guards and Machado, and was defeated again.

This made it realize that it still has a lot of room for improvement.

According to ancient legends, if you want to become stronger, you can go no wrong by looking for humans.

However, Link was not very interested in this matter, and was more concerned about another urban legend.

"In fact, I have always had a question, what kind of spirits were Entei, Suicune, and Raikou before they were resurrected by Ho-oh, and why would a place like the Bell Tower be set on fire by a bolt of lightning?
“There’s an urban legend among us humans that the Ho-oh Guards were three types of Eevee before they were resurrected, but those three types of Eevee shouldn’t be trapped by lightning and fire, right?

"And why does dance have magical powers? Why do Ho-Oh and Lugia like to watch girls in kimonos dance?"

There had been too many things that were destined to remain unanswered that had left Link feeling entangled and confused, but now that he had come to this world and had the ability to translate, he had to unravel those urban legends one by one.

"There are so many questions, Myuu, please answer them one by one."

However, just as Miao was about to tell all the gossip, the manager of the Baoka Hall, Ibrahimovic, caught up with him and called him away as he had been slacking off.

Mew, who was tied up and taken away by Sylveon's tentacles, shouted with "Psychic Noise" before leaving: "Go find the Ho-Oh Guards! They can give you the answers to these questions!"
