Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 665 Wang Luo (25)

"I am Wangluo, a traveling merchant from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce. Please give me your advice."

In the cave, Wang Luo, who was helpless, had no consciousness of being a prisoner. Instead, he introduced himself with a calm expression.

"You can call me Maia. I know you and the ins and outs of the battle between you and a certain person, so we don't have to play riddles."

Lay spoke candidly and got to the point.

Testing each other with people like Wang Luo is not a wise choice.

"You know? That's right. I see that you and Giratina get along very well."

Wang Luo was a little confused, but he was quickly relieved.

[No, it's not from me, I haven't told him about you yet. 】

Giratina, who was lying lazily on the boulder, opened his eyes, and his voice followed telepathy and appeared in everyone's minds.

As soon as he said this, Wang Luo frowned: "Not from Giratina"

"I know more than you can imagine, let's get to know each other again, Mr. Wang Luo."

Lai Gao glanced at Luo inscrutably and stretched out his hand.

"Then let's get to know each other again, Xiaosheng Wangluo, an ancient Shen'ao man."

It was the first time the two looked at each other in a real sense, and a trace of fear flashed across their slightly squinted eyes.

"You are also involved in Giratina's matter, or in other words, you are the culprit for its current miserable state. Now, it needs a lot of medicinal materials, do you have them? If I remember correctly, you and your That friend should be very rich and has a lot of rare things, right?"

"Of course Xiaosheng has some, but it's far from enough. The Ginkgo Merchant Association also has the rest, but it's very expensive."

"How much? Tell me the number."

"No, Xiaosheng will pay for this money, but Xiaosheng has a request."

"You say it."

"The way you look now, it looks like you are going to fight against Dialga and Palkia, right? Xiaosheng also wants to take a look."

"Oh? You know that too?"

"It's not a secret at all. Although the destruction of the Wisdom Lake has not been spread, of course Xiaosheng already knows about it."

"Giratina, what do you mean?"

[He is no longer a threat, I have no objection. 】

Giratina was right. At this moment, Wang Luo was no longer the powerful "tamer" who was high-spirited and wanted to control Arceus for his own use a few years ago. Many of the main Pokémon were seriously injured and retired. His strength was greatly reduced. For Lai, who had recovered more than half of his strength, although it was still worthy of vigilance, it was not a big threat.

This can also be proven by the exploration of the power of the heart.

"Then, I wish us happy cooperation. We need a safe base now. Can you please lead the way, Mr. Wangluo?"

"Of course, Mr. Maier, Xiaosheng is also very much looking forward to our cooperation."
-
That night, Wang Luo's temporary residence.

Among the mountains and forests, Wangluo built such a residence at some unknown time.

After the incident in Giratina, there was no place for Wangluo in the entire Xicui area. Only the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce still had some contact with him occasionally.

But with this place as his base, he seems to still feel a bit like an idle cloud and a crane.

The conditions are not good, but compared to the conditions of the ascetics in the cave, they are obviously much better.

After taking the medicine, they found a remote and clean house, and Lai and Naqi lived in it.

After arranging for Nachi to sleep, Rai came to the courtyard alone and called Jirachi and Uxie to deal with the medicines that were going to be given to Giratina and Nachi.

Under the shadow of the wall, Giratina was lying on his stomach, pretending not to care, but actually listening to the conversation in the distance. "Mr. Maia, you said the name of your ability is 'Heart'. I have a question. Can you give me some advice?"

Sitting at the stone table, Wang Luo watched with great interest as Lai used the power of his heart to process the medicinal materials. He was so curious that he couldn't restrain himself and started asking.

"But it doesn't matter."

Without raising his head, Lai replied while removing the strange energy in the medicinal materials.

"Is the so-called heart a manifestation of desire? For example, you want to make traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal materials not unpalatable and have better effects. For example, you want to restore injured people and Pokémon. Health, let’s say you want to make your Pokémon stronger.”

Wangluo people, as the name suggests, hit the nail on the head and get to the essence of the problem.

"Your vision is very sharp and vicious." Lai stopped his movements for a moment and looked at him with admiration.

After just half a day of getting along, he gained insight into several manifestations of the power of the heart, especially the ability to improve Pokémon's physical fitness.

"It's just a little trick, but it can't compare to Mr. Maier's miraculous skills." Wang Luo nodded humbly, but his eyes were very calm.

"However, I don't completely agree with what you said. What is the heart? Desire is of course, but desire is not the whole concept of the heart, but only a part of it, or one of several forms of expression."

"Form of expression? I don't think so. In my opinion, the so-called expression form of the heart is just a variety of manifestations of desire. Only through the desire of 'wanting' can people establish their own existence and Find your origin, which is your heart.”

"A philosopher once had an idea similar to yours. It makes sense, but there are also some small problems."

"Question? Please tell me."

"That is, if we assume that we have a mind but no body, this imagination can be established, right?"

"Yes."

"On the other hand, if we assume that we have a body but no soul, can such an imagination be established?"

"No, because without a mind, you cannot imagine."

"Correct. So, what's imagining?"

".Desire to prove one's existence?"

“Now that we have a hypothesis, where does the desire to prove come from?”

"So.?"

"The existence of the mind ultimately lies in a kind of doubt about yes or no. I doubt whether I exist. This process of doubt is the process of establishing 'I', and it also constitutes the basis of our heart. The existence of matter is not necessarily It is before or after the spirit, but without the existence of the spirit, it is difficult for us to realize the existence of our physical body. The relationship between the mind and things lies here."

".Interesting conclusion, this is indeed something I have never thought of. So, Mr. Maier, have you ever thought about why your ability is so much weaker than this powerful expression?"

"It's very simple, the heart has no limits, and people have limits. I am a very mediocre person, and all I have is a little bit of superficial knowledge, including what I told you before. I have been exposed to a lot of such knowledge, and thus formed I have a little bit of insignificant thoughts that belong to me, that’s all. At the same time, I don’t have huge desires like you. I just want to live a peaceful life with the people I love and Pokémon. So, my If my heart is not strong enough, my abilities will not be strong enough.”

"You are very honest." Wang Luo struggled for a long time, unable to find a suitable adjective. "You are very honest."

"Hahaha, I know you want to say that I am a bad person, and I don't object to it. If this kind of ability appears in you, maybe you can really compete with a certain Pokémon. It's just very difficult. It’s a pity that things in this world exist materially, and those who are unsatisfactory are destined to be in the majority.”

"You are really interesting, and it makes me even more curious. What kind of person are you, and what era do you come from? Are all the people there like you?"

"My origin is a very long and complicated story. I'm afraid no one will really believe it, but I can tell you that not everyone is like me. It's just that if there are enough people there, Willingness and perseverance can also get some nutrients from the fruits of the profound thoughts of the sages."

The debate between suspicion and desire did not end with a simple conversation in one night, but continued to extend throughout the entire process of Len preparing medicine for Naki and Giratina.

For a full week, the two discussed day and night, from philosophical issues at the essential level to specific people, things, and things. Except for the fact that both sides have taboo gods, it can be said to be extremely extensive.

During this period, Uxie had been listening with great interest. It had always had absolute respect for the crystallization of knowledge and wisdom. After hearing this, it simply joined the discussion and expressed some of its own understanding.

The fantasy Pokémon with an eternal lifespan also has its own set of ideological systems.
