I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

After all, although Lugia holds grudges, he is very open-minded most of the time.

It probably didn't care about the burning of the clock tower in the first place.

The reason he held a grudge against Phoenix King was simply because he was angry that it had never come to apologize to him and hadn't shown any attitude towards him in the past hundred years.

He was reluctant to return to Yuanzhu City, on the one hand because he wanted to raise his children, and on the other hand, he might not be clear about the attitude of the people in Yuanzhu City towards him.

Now, through the dancers' performance, he understood the people of Yuzu's perspective on the burning of the Bell Tower and his departure. The misunderstanding was resolved, and Lugia's inner depression naturally dissipated...

"Um."

Although she couldn't see Lugia's expression, Aisha could still imagine the Sea God smiling from his tone.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

So Aisha asked Lugia about his plans.

"What else can I do?"

Lugia's tone was light.

"I'm your Pokémon now, so of course I'll follow you everywhere. As for Vermillion City and the Bell Tower..."

Lugia paused as he spoke.

"That's fine, I respect the choices of the people of Yuanzhu."

"I see."

Hearing Lugia's words, Aisha showed an expression of emotion.

In fact, according to Lugia's status in the hearts of the people of Yuanzhu City, if it wanted, it could ask people to rebuild the Bell Tower.

But God chose to respect the believers' choices.

He gave up the opportunity to be remembered forever like the Phoenix King and be worshipped by others.

Perhaps compared to those false names and incense, Lugia cares more about the friendship he had with the people of Yuanzhu in the past.

"You say that, but it makes it sound like I'm some vain, bad person..."

Ho-Oh rarely jumped out to make a complaint.

Perhaps because of shame and guilt, Ho-Oh hardly spoke the entire day.

It was only when it saw that Lugia was in a better mood that it dared to speak.

"do not you?"

Lugia asked back, but his words didn't have the aggression as before, it was purely teasing.

"No~"

Ho-Oh also realized this, so his tone suddenly became relaxed, and he feigned dissatisfaction as he refuted Lugia's teasing.

"that is!"

"no!"

"That's right!"

"No, no!"

"That's right!"

“No, no, no!”

"that is......"

"Hey, you're annoying!"

The two totem gods of the Johto region, who are worshipped by people and are also the two protagonists of tonight's dance drama, started quarreling like children.

"Ha ha......"

Listening to Ho-Oh's voice in her left ear and Lugia's voice in her right ear, Aisha, who was enjoying the dual-channel quarrel between the two first-level gods, also showed a helpless smile.

Being able to quarrel like this...

Who would believe that you two have a bad relationship?

Thinking of this, Aisha took two steps forward and looked at the stage which had already ended.

Through the gaps in the curtain that was not drawn tightly, he saw the dancers and their Eevees walking backstage.

Leaving aside Sol and Umbreon, Aisha suddenly showed a strange expression when she saw Jolteon, Flareon and Vaporeon.

He remembered an urban legend that had been circulating in the Pokémon player community for a long time.

As we all know, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou are the products of the three Pokémon that were burned to death in the Bell Tower and were given new life by Ho-Oh.

So the question is, what are the predecessors of these three Pokémon?

Many people speculate that the predecessors of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou are the evolved forms of the three Eevee corresponding to their attributes.

However, the official has not yet given an explanation to this issue, so everyone's speculation is just speculation, and urban legends are just urban legends.

Aisha was also very curious about this question, but since Ho-Oh and Lugia had finally gotten into a better mood because of the ballet, he wouldn't be so ignorant as to ask such an uncomfortable question.

Keeping some things mysterious might not be a bad thing...

"Kou Jie~"

"Jie~"

Lying on the guardrail, Shiny Gengar and Leaf Gengar were in tears, looking at the stage with the curtain drawn with emotion, obviously still immersed in the immersive story just now.

"call......"

Songye also stood up, slowly exhaled, and looked emotional.

"Although I've seen it countless times since I was a kid, the story of Ho-Oh and Lugia is something I never get tired of."

He said this.

“Will this ballet be performed often?”

Aisha asked curiously.

"Almost, but not quite."

Songye nodded, then shook his head.

"The story of Phoenix King and Lugia is a classic piece at the Yuzu Dance Theatre. It's performed twice every year and during festivals. However, the theatre's writers are very attentive and change the script slightly each time. They don't just keep doing the same thing over and over again. So even people like us, the natives of Yuzu City, are always interested in the next performance. It's like we always see something new and never get tired of it."

"I see......"

Aixia nodded, showing understanding.

“That’s amazing.”

His tone was full of admiration.

After decades of performance, it can still produce such an effect that makes people feel fresh every time they watch it.

The screenwriter's strong writing skills are certainly one reason, but more importantly, it is the people of Yuanzhu Dance Theatre's love for the traditional stories and culture of Yuanzhu City.

“If it weren’t for this group of people who love Yuanzhu City’s history and traditional stories and keep working hard, Yuanzhu City wouldn’t be so popular today.”

Aisha muttered to herself.

"Who says it isn't?"

Songye's face was full of approval.

"After all, stories need to be spread in order to become popular and household classics."

"Yuanzhu Dance Theatre has a history of several decades. Over these decades, they have made incredible efforts to preserve Yuanzhu City's classics." His expression was somewhat emotional as he said, "Yuanzhu City will never forget their efforts, and neither will I."

"You're also a responsible and excellent gym leader."

Aixia looked at Songye with a smile.

"I can't accept this." Songye scratched his head. Although he was well versed in the ways of the world, he looked embarrassed at this moment and said, "This is what I should do..."

"I am satisfied to see that the people of Yuanzhu are still living a good life today."

At this moment, the Phoenix King's emotional voice sounded in Aisha's ears.

When it's not bickering with Lugia, it looks quite god-like, and when it's speaking seriously, it's indeed full of majesty.

"really."

Lugia echoed its words.

Aisha listened and smiled without saying anything.

Then, he looked at Matsuba and said, "If Ho-Oh and Lugia knew about your efforts, I guarantee they would be very happy too."

"Uh?"

Hearing Aixia's incoherent words, Songye was stunned at first, and then he smiled as if he understood.

"Ok!"

He nodded vigorously.

"I accept your good words!"

......

After the show, Songye ran back to the gym, saying, "Since we've talked so much, I'm going to get excited too!" and finish this month's work.

Aixia didn't comment on this, just said "come on" to him and watched Songye leave.

He was in no hurry to leave.

Because of the agreement with Sakura, Aisha stayed backstage at the dance floor with Latias.

"..."

Aisha was looking at her phone, but Latias was silent as he watched the busy staff coming and going backstage at the dance floor.

It blinked its beautiful golden eyes, tugged at the corner of Aisha's clothes beside it, and looked at him with an expectant expression.

"Owner."

"puff!"

As soon as the word "Master" came out, Aixia burst out crying.

No wonder he...

Anyone would have this reaction if they were looked at with such innocent eyes by such a lively and lovely maid and were called "Master".

"What, what's wrong, Latias?"

After taking a deep breath, Aisha maintained a smile and looked at Latias with complicated eyes.

"..."

Latias blinked and tightened his grip on Aisha's clothes.

"Tell me, can my brother and I be treated like this by the people of Water City..."

"what."

Hearing this, Aixia exclaimed, "Ah!"

Then, he smiled, raised his hand and stroked the top of Latias's head, saying, "I will."

What Latias meant by "this" was of course referring to the act of the people in Yuzu City turning the story of Ho-Oh and Lugia into a dance drama for publicity.

He is just a child after all. Just now, when watching the play, Aisha discovered that Latias looked at the stage with a look of excitement and a hint of envy.

It envied Ho-Oh and Lugia for being treated so well in Yuzu City.

"You may not know this, but in the Water City, people remember the legend of you and Latios."

Facing Latias's expectant gaze that said, "Don't lie to me," Aisha smiled and said, "Isn't there a statue of you in the square too?"

"right!"

Hearing this, Latias's eyes lit up brightly.

Its expression suddenly became happy and it seemed to be in a good mood.

"My brother and I are also legendary Pokémon that everyone loves!"
