Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 669 Life and Ideal (15)

"Huhu. It's okay. Dialga has become like this. We must let Palkia rescue him and evacuate him to rest for a few days."

In the dense forest, sliding off Giratina's back, Len gasped and comforted everyone.

【ha!Hahaha!It’s so refreshing!We really hit it off! 】

Although his voice was weak, and his body suffered serious internal injuries from the forced exertion of all his strength, Giratina still seemed refreshed.

"This is your trophy, take it."

Len raised Dialga's broken horn high and threw it in front of Giratina.

"Swish"

The black wing sliced ​​through it, cutting it in two.

[Each take half, this is our spoils! 】

Its voice carried an unmistakable meaning.

"Okay you big guy, I'll take half!"

Grabbing the fallen lower half with one hand, Lai shook his head, deliberately turned his back and looked into the distance.

"Big-billed Gull, let's retreat! Go back to the Poké Ball and rest, don't hold on. It will be very difficult to hide from them next time, and you have to be mentally prepared to continue to fight head-on."

【.Oh, then I’m going to bed. 】

Turning into red light, Giratina slipped into the almost broken Poké Ball.
-
Giratina slept for most of the day. It wasn't until the group resettled in a cave that they woke up to the smell of rice.

Continuous use of power is a huge loss for a seriously injured creature.

However, this time is different from last time, because Lai is helping it with the power of his heart, so part of the burden is transferred to Lai, making it feel better.

At least from the perspective of mental state and appetite, it was pretty good. After devouring a week's worth of Dragon Baruto, he returned to the Poké Ball without saying a word and just continued to sleep soundly.

But everything has a price. Behind Giratina's ease is Rai's physical damage.

After forcing everyone to settle down, he found an excuse to go out to enjoy the breeze and walked out of the cave alone. Before he had gone far, a mouthful of blood surged into his throat, bringing a sour, salty, and bitter feeling.

In order not to let the keen people in the cave notice, Lai pretended to be fine, swallowed it forcefully with a normal expression, and continued walking away until he reached a big rock in the shade, then sat down and took out the medicine in his arms. After taking it, he breathed a little sigh of relief.

"Your current condition is not very good. It seems that even a genius cannot fully stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods?"

Wang Luo's voice came from the side, and Lai suddenly turned his head, only to realize that this guy had hidden his power of heart from the perception and appeared quietly next to him.

"It's just a small application of the back attack technique. Don't be so surprised, Xicui specialty. Your special ability is indeed very good, but if your body is only in its current state, I can still find a way to hide it. Well, This is a family secret recipe, would you like to try some?"

Not wanting to be dirty, Wangluo sat down on the ground next to the stone and took out a small box from his pocket, which contained a few small pills.

Today, he no longer uses the title of "Xiaosheng".

"Take one pill at a time, three times a day, after meals, and it will be fine in two days."

As he spoke, he took out one, threw it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

"."

"Don't believe it?"

"That's not the case, it's just that I don't know whether to say something properly or not."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Wangluo, look down. After you take one, there is not enough for two days in the box."

"Ah, hahaha, it's okay. I'm used to filling each box with two days' worth. I still have plenty of this stuff!"

"That's okay. You are a big business owner. If I take your medicine, I won't have any psychological burden."

Lai readily took the medicine box and swallowed one pill in one gulp. Sure enough, he felt a warm current surge through his body, and his severely damaged internal organs slowly recovered a little.

However, it is true that you cannot take too much of this medicine at one time, and the side effects are not small. Even if it is the power of the heart, it must be consumed in a steady stream, just like a medicine to reduce side effects.

After a little livening up the atmosphere, the originally subtle and slightly awkward relationship between the two slowly became closer.

Leaning his back against the stone, at this time, Lai was slightly surprised to notice the mist-like condition of Wang Luo.

"Your body, it seems"

Seeing Luo's frank look today, Lai roughly understood his intention and took the initiative to ask.

Wangluo raised his head and looked up at the starry sky that had remained unchanged since ancient times but was even more vast and profound in the era of lack of pollution. However, it seemed that he was not stargazing, but looking for something more distant.

After a long time, he lowered his head, contented with a hint of hard-to-see regret, and slowly said: "You don't have to be so subtle. I'm not going to live long, probably three or two years. I'm a very ordinary person. Humans only have a little ability based on the blood of the ancient Sinnoh people, and have slightly more knowledge than ordinary people, so they are different from people like you. At that time, he was forced to stand side by side with Giratina and command it so Over time, my loss of life has become irreversible."

"After watching our battle today, are you satisfied?" Lai nodded, understanding what he meant, "Or do you have anything else to regret?"

Wang Luo's smile was a little bitter, but more of a relief: "I'm very satisfied. The only regret has nothing to do with you, that is, I didn't let Arceus obey me and complete the new world for me."

This heart-wrenching remark made Lai afraid to answer the question for a while.

After thinking about it, Lai realized that if a certain alpaca really kept staring at him and Wang Luo, then nothing he could say would be of much use.

In line with the bachelor's mentality of not having to worry about too many debts and not biting too many lice, Lai simply stated his thoughts:
"Arzeus is not a life with human values. What it does have is the judgment standard of the gods, especially the God of Creation. Therefore, what it wants is completely different from what you want. This is why it does not have Choose your reasons. At the same time, you place your hopes on gods, which is a mistake in itself. Humanity's own problems can only be truly solved through human hands, and we humans and Pokémon share the same In the world of survival, human beings' own power is limited. Only by cooperating with Pokémon can we maximize the complementary power of both parties. As a 'tamer', you are not correct on this point." "You. Are you emphasizing your philosophical agreement with me again? I always don't understand, you are obviously a strong person, why do you always respect the ideas of the weak so much and use them to restrain yourself?" Wang Luo put one hand on his forehead and seemed to Somewhat helpless, "However, this time, I am not disgusted, nor do I object to some of your views. After losing to that foreigner brat that day, I roughly figured this out."

"Do you have a child now?" Lai was a little curious and thought of Xiao Baicai in the Sinnoh region. This pair of possible ancestors and descendants had completely opposite views.

Wang Luo opened his eyes slightly, surprised at this question, but also flashed a trace of tenderness: "Huh? A child? I do have a child, but it's a pity that for my ideal, I didn't give him much care, even I haven’t seen him a few times.”

As his life approaches the end, he gradually realizes the weight of his own bonds, whether they are emotional bonds or blood ties.

"Although I don't quite approve of your method, the world in your dreams may be close to you through the efforts of your descendants. Although it is impossible to achieve it, after all, it is a utopian world that belongs to the other side. Thinking from this perspective, Will you feel better?"

With his hands behind his head, Lai leaned against the stone, and also looked at the distant night sky.

The stars are twinkling, and there are stories and legends behind each one, expressing some kind of yearning or worship of people of unknown eras.

"What you said makes me a little happy. There is more than one way to realize my ideal, and it doesn't have to be done by me myself." Wang Luo's eyes lit up, he straightened up, clenched a fist with one hand, and seemed to find another way. Some direction in life.

"Ideals, some are completed by you, and some are finally completed through your efforts and through the succession of countless people. I have always felt that one of the best qualities of human beings is to respect their own lives. short time, and use it to make efforts for a longer career. However, I reserve my attitude towards your ideal world. What we need is not a blank new world and that illusory possibility, but a real possibility. Right before our eyes, in the eyes of each of us."

Rai straightened up, waved his hand, and finished his sentence.

"Ideal, maybe, who knows for sure?" Patting his butt and standing up, Wang Luo lowered his head slightly and stared at Lai, "If you had come earlier than that despicable foreign kid, maybe the situation would be different."

"That's not necessarily true." Lai shook his head, "If you weren't in your current state, you wouldn't listen to what I say."

"Hahaha, that's true, then I'll take my leave. Oh, speaking of regrets, one more thing, I still don't know the names of you and your female companion."

With a hearty smile, Wangluo released Pokkisi and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he pretended to suddenly remember and asked Lai and Naqi's real names.

Lai also patted his butt and stood up, announcing his home address without much hesitation: "Lai, and my fiancée, Naqi. I wish you the best, Wang Luo, and I hope you have a good time."

"Farewell, Lai. Maybe, my descendants will see you again. When the time comes, don't forget to tell us about our experiences!"

He jumped onto Pokkisi's back, Wangluo rose into the sky and disappeared into the vast night. Only a few small boxes were thrown from the air, containing the previous secret medicine.

[Although he plotted against me, I don’t resent him. 】

Shortly after Wang Luo left, Giratina, who was supposed to be sleeping in the elf ball, silently appeared behind Rai.

"The god who reversed the world also has an idealistic side, right? Just like how you usually observe the world."

Lai said without looking back.

[Nonsense, I just think he gives me a place to vent my anger, and he is also very interesting. 】

[That's all. 】

As if he felt that the strength was not enough, Giratina added.

This kind of concealment made Lai smile slightly: "Do you think you, the eternal gods, all have a side that is unwilling to express your thoughts frankly? If you hide it like this, you will leave a lot of regrets."

【You are very nagging! 】

Seeing that Giratina was a little annoyed, Leni stopped talking and simply changed the topic:
"Tell me, is the you in the future the same as you now? Otherwise, with your full strength, even if you just get angry, I will definitely not be able to resist it, right?"

【Who would know? 】

Giratina was noncommittal.

"Also, the paradox of time and space is always elusive."

Lai didn't dig into it, just sighed softly, and he already had the answer in his heart.

[Our worlds are not parallel. 】

Yukoshi suddenly appeared and made up for it.

[Shut up, little mushroom! 】

This time, Giratina was really angry.

[You should respect knowledge, big man, oh no, the god of shadows and reversals. 】

Yukoshi was not used to this big man who had been with him for a long time and knew the ins and outs of him, so he said with a serious expression.

【.】

Seeing that the threat was useless, Giratina said nothing and ran away, returning to his own shadow without knowing where he was going.

[The big man is a little embarrassed. You have to understand him. After all, he rarely talks to other creatures. 】

Yukoshi stepped forward and gently patted Rai's cheek.

"Do you know a term for later generations?" Lai asked suddenly.

【what? 】

Yukoshi didn't understand the situation and showed a bit of natural confusion.

"It's called pink-cut black."

Rai stated expressionlessly.
