Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

After these words were spoken, Liliae's expression changed subtly again.

What's more, they are not just childhood sweethearts. Xiaoyao herself is also very outstanding. She is undoubtedly a beauty and an excellent trainer. Now, apart from Lowe, she is also the most promising young generation in the Hoenn region.

After all, he is positioned as the "enemy" of the protagonist, and the worst ending is based on the combat power of the gym master. It is not a problem for him to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings if he tries hard.

Add to that the childhood sweetheart setting, how can they lose, right?

Unfortunately, as of now, Lowe himself is not smart. He seems to prefer drowning in Masked Meow's paw. After all, Pokémon can have physical contact with their trainers without restraint, and the friendship of rolling in bed together every day is better than that of childhood sweethearts.

In short, while they were chatting happily, Xiaoyao and Yasha suddenly felt something and stood up at the same time.

"Hey, what, what happened?"

Liliae was a little slow to react, and after the two of them looked at each other, they looked towards the distance.

"That direction... isn't going towards us, but towards Lowe?"

"what?"

In other words, the two girls felt the presence of a stranger, but the stranger did not come towards them, but walked towards Lowe, which means he was just passing by.

As expected, this kind of plot is indispensable in hot spring plots.

But why were the three young girls directly ignored and went to Lowe instead?

The same question, Luo Wei also wanted to ask...

Under the night sky, Lowe wrapped himself in a bath towel with an embarrassed look on his face, looking at the figure waving at him leisurely.

"Hey, we meet again, Lowe~"

"...Generally speaking, in this kind of plot, shouldn't we switch positions? Why am I the one being spied on? Can you explain it to me, Ms. Xijiana?!"

Chapter 172: Wishing Star

Generally speaking, the reserved program in the hot spring plot is naturally "misunderstanding and peeping"...

Normally, this script is meant to give benefits to the protagonist, but Luo Wei couldn't imagine why, at this point... he became the one giving benefits?!

He casually grabbed a bath towel and wrapped himself up, then looked up at Xijiana who appeared in front of him leisurely. The latter seemed to be completely unaware of the awkward atmosphere and instead waved to Lowe in a relaxed manner.

"Hey, Lowe, we meet again~"

"Can you explain why you are here?"

If the other party was looking for a fight, then Lowe would really admire her creativity for choosing a situation that was not so convenient for Lowe.

Speaking of this, Lowe is curious. Why can't the villain choose to visit when the protagonist is not convenient? You say you visit when others are eating, drinking, defecating or urinating, and the opponent has to use one hand to pick up his pants while fighting, so the fighting power is guaranteed to be greatly reduced.

However, if you accidentally overdo it, it is easy to trigger the rage buff on the spot, which will make the opponent let go of their sense of shame, which would not be worth it.

Okay, back to the scene, Lowe stood up and jumped out of the hot spring, and a coat flew over and was draped over Lowe. Needless to say, this was naturally the action of Gardevoir.

Without Lowe saying a word, the maid thoughtfully prepared everything he needed. This little maid is becoming more and more competent.

Lowe casually put on a coat and tidied himself up until he was barely presentable. He then asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "So, what did Miss Xijiana come here for? You can't be here just to peep, right?"

There was not much hostility in his tone while speaking, as if Lowe did not regard the other party as an enemy, even though her current identity was a cadre of the Marine Team.

"Well, that's of course not, but... Lowe's attitude is also very interesting~ Don't you plan to fight me?"

"I'll listen to what you plan to do first, and then decide what to do. I don't have much time now anyway~"

After all, the meteorite has been recovered, and the initiative is currently in Lowe's hands. As for Xijiana, Lowe has read the script and of course knows that she is half a friendly force.

"Well, then, let me get this straight. The meteorite is on Lowe now, right?"

"So, you're planning to rob it. Why are you talking to me? Wouldn't it be faster to just steal the meteorite and run away?"

Perhaps it was because of this that when facing Xijiana who appeared directly, Lowe remained very calm, while Xijiana smiled and shook her head.

"No, I'm not here to steal the meteorite. I just want to confirm one thing..."

"what's up?"

Xijiana took out her Poké Ball and released Dragonite. "Let's go to a more open place. It's not very convenient here. Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to."

"Oh, are you trying to provoke me with that? I'm not afraid~"

Lowe didn't care at all, so Xijiana gestured to her Dragonite and said, "Two people are no problem, come on up~"

She held out her hand to Lowe, who took out his navigator and dialed a number.

Over there, Xiaoyao's navigator, which was placed next to the hot spring, rang. When she saw it was Lowe's number, she naturally answered it quickly.

"Lowe?"

"I have a little thing to deal with here, don't worry, I will take care of it right away~"

"Eh? Oh..."

Although she was obviously a little confused at first, after hearing what Lowe said, Xiaoyao seemed to understand something and immediately put on a smiling face.

"Well, come on~"

After explaining his whereabouts in two simple sentences, Lowe hung up the call. On the other end, Xi Jiana smiled leisurely and said, "Oh, you're reporting safety to your childhood sweetheart first? You're really a responsible and good man~"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go!"

Lowe stepped forward but did not hold Shijiana's hand. Instead, the Masked Cat behind him gently hugged Lowe and with one force jumped onto the Tyrannosaurus with Lowe.

And Dragonite's attitude towards Lowe didn't seem as bad as it was at the beginning. Perhaps it was because they had already fought before, so any unhappiness had dissipated a lot.

"Hmm~"

Xijiana looked at her palm, then quickly moved and jumped onto the Tyrannosaurus. With her whistle, the Tyrannosaurus immediately flapped its wings and took off.

Not long after, Xijiana took Lowe to fly up Chimney Mountain again, but this time, she just found an empty and deserted place a little bit above the foot of the mountain and put the person down.

"Okay, what do you want to say?"

"I don't plan to recover the meteorite now, but I still want to confirm whether I should entrust the meteorite to Lowe~"

"I see……"

As a descendant of the Meteor People, if she wants to determine the ownership of the meteorite, this is still negotiable. If she had gone to the Alliance with this attitude from the beginning, then because of her status, the group of ideological and moral role models in the Alliance's top leadership might have followed her wishes.

However, she still seems to have her own ideas. As for why she wants to assist the Marine Team in awakening the sleeping gods, this is very questionable, because the Meteor People themselves are the descendants of the super ancient people who sealed the two gods.

Your ancestors took so much effort to seal the two gods, and you actually plan to release them with your own hands?

It would be fine if it was a plot about filial piety being strong, but since Xijiana considers herself a descendant of the Meteor People, she obviously still cares about the teachings of her ancestors, so there must be a reason for this.

Anyway, Lowe knew Xijiana's position, so he was quite cooperative. "Well, how do we determine this? Do we have to fight?"

"Haha, there is indeed such a step, but it's not a special fight. The main purpose is to see if Lowe can... control the power of mega!"

"Oh..."

Lowe didn't expect that someone would send him a pillow just when he was dozing off. He was just thinking about how to obtain the power of mega, but Xijiana came to teach him in person.

But it’s okay this way. After all, the other party is the true inheritor of mega power, so it’s perfect for him to be a teacher.

"Well, let me start with the origin of the meteorite. Does Lowe know what the meteorite is?"

"do not know!"

At this time, it is natural to play dumb decisively. Xi Jiana laughed immediately, "Haha, let's start with the legend. At that time, our ancestors prayed to calm the anger of the two gods. This 'prayer' was heard by a certain 'illusory existence', and that illusory existence transmitted our ancestors' prayers to the sky, and then summoned the God of the Sky..."

"Well, this is just like the legend, but it's not right!"

Lowe heard the problem...

"…What is that phantom being?"

"This is the difference between the truth and the legend. It is not that the God of the Sky descended with the meteor, but that the meteor served as a medium to summon the God of the Sky. The meteor was the first to descend, and our ancestors prayed to the meteor, which is how they summoned the God of the Sky!"

A shooting star that can listen to prayers, call for miracles, and fulfill wishes is the so-called "illusionary existence". Isn't that...

Chapter 173: Attempt, Mega Evolution

"...The shooting star that descended with my wish, I see."

Lowe has roughly understood the true nature of this meteor, the so-called "illusionary existence"...

"Well, that's one of the legends of the Hoenn region, the mythical Pokémon, the 'Wishing Star' Jirachi that can bring miracles..."

"...So, the people of the meteors back then made a wish through Jirachi, and then transmitted their will to the sky, and received a response from the God of the Sky, so that they could summon the God of the Sky to descend?"

"Yes, that's right. Of course, this is just a slightly different part from the current legend. It's not a big deal. The meteorite in Lowe's hand is not the incarnation of Jirachi. It is indeed something that descended together with the God of the Sky..."

In other words, there were actually two meteorites. One originally landed in the Hoenn region, but the meteorite itself was the mythical Pokémon Jirachi. During the battle between the two gods, the people of Meteor made a wish to Jirachi and used its power to summon the god of the sky.

The meteor that descended with the God of the Sky fell into the Meteor Falls, which is the one in Lowe's hand at the moment. It contains some of the power of the God of the Sky, and also integrates some of Jirachi's power.

Because of this, under normal circumstances, no special features of this meteorite can be observed. This is a manifestation of Jirachi's power. Before awakening, Jirachi existed in the form of an ordinary meteorite.

The so-called mythical Pokémon are equivalent to the "elves" bred by nature. Although they are not the embodiment of rules like the legendary Pokémon, they also possess incredible power.

For example, the mythical Pokémon Celebi from the Johto region has an unsolvable bug-level ability to travel through time.

"Okay, I've finished talking about the origin of the meteorite. As for more things, it depends on whether Lowe can pass the 'test'. If he can, I will tell Lowe everything I know~"

"…Then why don't you choose to tell the Alliance?"

Luo Wei was a little puzzled. If Xijiana just wanted to find a partner, then the Alliance would be much more reliable than the Ocean Team.

"Ahaha, as for the Alliance... well, it's too big, and the Alliance has a lot of its own issues to deal with. To be honest, the so-called 'secrets' I know are probably just regional issues for the Alliance~"

“…That’s right.”

Lowe agreed with this point. If it weren't for the fact that the world setting itself was gentle enough, the Pokémon world would actually be quite unstable. In any region, there is a possibility of a major disaster that could lead to ecological extinction.
