Seeing her child being treated so roughly, and the petrified Lapras, Lugia was furious.
“Aoo ~ ~” It let out a deafening roar, and rolling waves of air spread out from it, causing the pirate ship to sway precariously.
The pirate leader, oblivious to his own mortality, pointed at Lugia and shouted to his subordinates, “Fire! Fire! Capture it for me! Capture it!”
Upon hearing this, the pirates all aimed the petrification devices in their hands at Lugia.
“Aoo ~ ~” Lugia roared angrily again, and the sea seemed to sense its anger, responding to it by stirring up terrifying storms and waves that relentlessly battered the ships.
The pirate ship shook violently, making it impossible for the pirates to stand, let alone aim the petrification devices at Lugia.
“Aoo ~ ~” Under Lugia's control, the storm began to approach the pirate ship, and many pirates, unable to maintain their footing, were swept into the storm and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the pirate leader finally understood Lugia's power and realized he had dared to provoke such an existence.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets, and he soon joined his subordinates in being swept into the storm, disappearing into the bottomless sea.
As the petrification devices were destroyed, the petrified Lapras all returned to normal, and Little Silver also broke free from the fishing net and happily swam to its mother's side.
“Woo ~ Woo ~”
The mother and child put their heads together, and Little Silver told its mother about its fear after surviving the ordeal, while Lugia gently comforted it.
However, it couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in its heart. This wasn't the first time Little Silver had been targeted by someone with ulterior motives, but due to its work, it had to wander around with young Little Silver, which was ultimately detrimental to Little Silver's growth in the long run.
After the battle, everyone was a little tired, so under Lugia's lead, they came to a deserted island to rest.
To thank the Lapras for their help, Lugia used its familiarity with the surrounding environment to find many berries to treat the Lapras.
The Lapras also took out the food that Anjie had prepared for them to treat Lugia and her child.
It turned out that when the Lapras left, Anjie had given the Lapras leader a spatial backpack filled with food, which contained a lot of storage-friendly foods, such as beef jerky, pork jerky, dried fruit, honey, yogurt, dried small fish, and so on.
After tasting Anjie's craftsmanship, the mother and child were both amazed.
During the conversation, Lugia inadvertently mentioned her worries about Little Silver's future, feeling that it would be harmful to both itself and Little Silver if Little Silver continued to wander with her like this.
At this moment, the Lapras leader had a flash of inspiration, “Why don't you foster Little Silver at Mount Lanakila?”
Lugia was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head in denial. How could she entrust her child to a human?
In the previous conversation, Lugia had already learned that the Lapras' home was in Mount Lanakila in the Kalos region, and the owner of Mount Lanakila was a human.
The Lapras leader saw Lugia's worries and said to Lugia, “Anjie is a very good person, different from other humans. You can completely entrust Little Silver to him with confidence.
Mount Lanakila is very safe. Little Silver will not be disturbed by anyone there, because Xerneas and Yveltal guard it, and Giratina and Mew sometimes visit.”
Lugia looked surprised when she heard this. Wait, did she hear correctly? Xerneas? Yveltal? And Giratina and Mew?
There's no need to brag like that!
Seeing Lugia's disbelief, the Lapras leader quickly explained that what he said was true, and the other Lapras echoed him.
“If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. Once you see everything with your own eyes, you will know that what I said is true.”
Seeing that the Lapras was so certain and didn't seem to be lying, Lugia thought for a while and decided to go and see for herself.
If that human named Anjie was really like the Lapras said, able to gain the approval of Xerneas, Yveltal, Giratina, and Mew at the same time, then entrusting Little Silver to him would indeed be feasible.
At this time, Lugia didn't know that Anjie in the Lapras' mouth was the person she had met once in Desert Resort.
After eating and drinking enough and resting well, the Lapras and Lugia and her child parted ways.
The Lapras continued their journey, while Lugia led Little Silver, calming the ocean currents while heading towards the Kalos region.
At this time, Anjie didn't know that the Lapras had "provoked" a great Buddha for him. He was giving Sylveon and Vulpix special training.
He is the Fairy-type Elite Four now, so he has to work hard.
A few months after birth, Vulpix has made great progress in strength under Anjie's careful cultivation.
I don't know if it is affected by Xerneas and the Fairy Plate, Vulpix has an extraordinary talent for understanding Fairy-type skills, and in just a few months, it has successively learned multiple Fairy-type skills such as Charm Voice, Draining Kiss, Dazzling Gleam, and Misty Terrain.
Of course, the role of the training room is also crucial.
“Vulpix, Aurora Beam!”
As Anjie's voice fell, a colorful light ball condensed at the corner of Vulpix's mouth, and the next second it turned into a ray of light and shot out.
“Fee ya ~” Sylveon was not flustered when she saw this, she jumped to the side, easily dodged Vulpix's attack, and counterattacked with a Swift.
Sylveon's ability is Pixilate, which turns Normal-type moves into Fairy-type moves, and gains a attribute bonus.
A series of golden stars were thrown out by Sylveon, hitting Vulpix one after another.
Unlike Sylveon, who is relatively rich in combat experience, Vulpix was a little flustered when facing the attack.
Fortunately, Anjie promptly reminded him, "Vulpix, use Dazzling Gleam!"
Swift is a sure-hit skill, so you can't dodge it, you can only defend by attacking.
Hearing Anjie's voice, Vulpix calmed down, and suddenly burst into colorful brilliance, shattering all the incoming stars.
Anjie then commanded: "Vulpix, Aurora Beam again."
“Kon ~” Vulpix responded happily and fired a colorful beam towards Sylveon.
“Fee ya !! ” Sylveon opened her mouth, and sound waves turned into substance and spread out, not only instantly destroying Vulpix's Aurora Beam, but also knocking Vulpix to the ground.
Sylveon used Hyper Voice, which, like Swift, is a Normal-type move, but with the Fairy Skin ability, it has been converted to a Fairy-type move.
"Gong~~" Vulpix was hit and rolled several times on the ground, its eyes instantly filled with tears.
Seeing this, Anjie encouraged it, "Vulpix, don't panic, stay calm, use Disable."
Sure enough, Anjie's firm tone gave Vulpix courage. It stood up again, a glimmer of light flashing in its eyes. Sylveon immediately realized that it couldn't use Hyper Voice anymore.
The effect of Disable is to put the target into a Disable state. During this time, it cannot use the last move it used before entering the Disable state.
Seeing Sylveon stunned, Vulpix seized the opportunity and immediately launched Moonblast.
A silver moon appeared behind Vulpix, and silver moonlight poured down, condensing into a ball of light in front of Vulpix, then the ball of light turned into a beam of light and shot towards Sylveon.
Sylveon remained calm, and colorful light burst from its body, turning into countless rays of light that shot out.
It used Dazzling Gleam.
In just an instant, Dazzling Gleam shattered Moonblast and knocked Vulpix to the ground once again.
Vulpix rolled several times on the ground, covered in grass clippings, looking a bit disheveled.
At this time, Anjie spoke in time, "Okay, that's enough."
"Gong~" Vulpix knew it had lost, and lay weakly on the ground, looking dejected.
"Fi ya~" Sylveon quickly stepped forward, picked up Vulpix with its ribbons, and gently brushed off the grass clippings from its body.
Anjie also stepped forward to comfort it, "You're still young, it's normal to be weak. Work hard in the future, and you'll definitely get stronger and stronger."
"Fi ya~" Sylveon nodded in agreement.
With the comfort of Anjie and Sylveon, Vulpix felt much better.
"Du~ki~du~" Everyone, come and have some snacks!
At this time, Magearna appeared in the distance with a bamboo basket on her arm.
"Fi ya~" Wow, there's something delicious.
"Gong~" It's dessert, I like it!
Hearing Magearna's words, Sylveon and Vulpix happily ran over, jumping and dancing around Magearna, their faces full of anticipation.
"Du~ki~du~" Don't rush, I made a lot!
Magearna said as she took out a picnic cloth and spread it on the ground, then took out the freshly made, still warm snacks from the bamboo basket one by one.
Soon, there were many snacks on the tablecloth: apple pie, apple mille-feuille, apple donuts, apple tarts, apple pudding... and various apple-based drinks and juices.
The apple snacks were made by Magearna, and the apple drinks were made by Passimian.
Anjie walked over and sat down, looking at the full table of food, he exclaimed, "Did you make so much?"
"Du~ki~du~" Our family had a bumper apple harvest, so I made a little more.
Magearna showed a sweet smile.
That's right, Anjie's apples had finally ripened, and it was a bumper harvest, so recently Magearna had been making all kinds of desserts with apples, and Passimian had also made many drinks with apples.
Even the royal city's dessert shops have recently been promoting various apple desserts.
Because the apples used to make desserts are of high quality, good appearance, and unique taste, the dessert shop's business has been booming recently.
The main types of apples grown at Anjie's house are three types: Sweet Apples, Sour Apples, and Honey Apples. These are apple varieties unique to the Pokémon world.
The three types of apples have different tastes, sweetness, etc. If you eat them directly, Honey Apples have the best taste, followed by Sweet Apples.
But if they are used to make desserts and drinks, they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Passimian also used the three types of apples to brew apple wines with different tastes and flavors.
Anjie picked up a knife, divided an apple cake into four portions, and placed them in front of Vulpix, Sylveon, and Magearna respectively.
"Fi ya~"
"Gong~"
Vulpix and Sylveon immediately started to feast happily.
Anjie also picked up a piece and took a bite.
In an instant, the rich aroma of apples, the soft cake base, and the silky cream mixed in the mouth.
"Delicious!"
"Fi ya!" Delicious!
"Gong!" So delicious!
Anjie, Sylveon, and Vulpix exclaimed at the same time.
Hearing her delicious food being praised, Magearna was extremely happy, and suddenly stretched out her hands.
"Du~ki~du~"
The next second, two bouquets of flowers emerged from her palms respectively.
"Fi ya~"
"Gong~"
Sylveon and Vulpix liked Magearna's "magic" very much, and approached the bouquets, sniffing non-stop.
"Duki~" Seeing this, Magearna gave the bouquets to them respectively.
At this time, Swablu, Fletchinder, and Aromatisse flew over from the sky, and Anjie immediately waved to them, "Come and have some desserts together!"
"Chiko~"
"Yaro~"
"Lai~"
The three Pokémon happily landed on the tablecloth, and Anjie distributed the desserts to them.
Before long, Misdreavus and Sableye also passed by, and Anjie also invited them over to eat.
Soon, a pile of desserts and drinks were eaten and drunk by Anjie and the others.
Anjie lay on the grass, basking in the warm sunshine, rubbing his stomach and sighing, "It's so comfortable!"
"Gong~"
"Chiko~"
......
After Vulpix, Fletchinder, Aromatisse, Swablu, Misdreavus, and Sableye were full, they chased and frolicked on the grass with great energy, and silvery laughter echoed on the grassland.
Magearna sat next to Anjie, holding the sleepy Sylveon, watching Vulpix and the others play with a kind face.
Just as Anjie and the others were enjoying their leisure time, suddenly two Golett ran over in a hurry, each carrying a basket on their backs, sparsely filled with a few red apples.
As they ran violently, the few apples swayed in the basket.
"Moche~"
"Moche~"
The Golett called out anxiously, as if something terrible had happened.
Anjie sat up from the grass and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, so flustered?"
"Moche~ Moche~"
"Moche~ Moche~"
The two Golett put the baskets on the ground, pointed to the few apples inside and shouted, a little incoherent because they were too anxious.
It took Anjie a long time to finally understand what had happened.
It turned out that the two Golett were picking apples by the lake just now. They had already picked a full basket and were planning to go home, but in the blink of an eye, when they looked at the basket again, they saw that the original full basket of apples had disappeared, leaving only a few scattered ones.
The good apples suddenly disappeared, which made the two Golett very panicked. Could it be that they encountered a ghost in broad daylight?
