Chapter 105 God of Monsoons and Ocean Currents
"Alright, the touching reunion can continue on the way back, but the great show of the Sinnoh Champion vs. Hunter J is something you won't get to see again if you miss it."
Wanlong led Weixin and the others to the top deck of the spaceship. At this time, dozens of trainers rode flying-type Pokémon and surrounded the spaceship. An octagonal cage was set up on the deck. On one side was Sinnoh Champion Cynthia, and on the other side was Pokémon Hunter J and her Salamence.
Knowing that escape was hopeless and that his struggles would make no difference, Hunter J had regained his senses.
"Then, I would like to trouble the people of Donghuang to cover for me." Hilona said in a proper Donghuang dialect. In order to better serve as a university advisor for Donghuang, she had put a lot of effort into Donghuang's culture.
"Please!" said an officer from the Eastern Empire.
In other circumstances, considering the danger posed by Hunter J, they might choose to launch a direct attack and then carry out the harmless disposal.
But now that the Sinnoh champion is present, and Hunter J has had her wings clipped by an Eastern student, plus Hunter J has been involved in numerous cases in various countries, and even some major incidents involving legendary Pokémon have her shadow in them, capturing her alive would be more valuable as she could extract more information.
In fact, the current alliance should be more concerned with ensuring Hunter J's safety.
"Hey hey hey, since that's the case, I'll be the referee and commentator."
Wanlong volunteered, and Gengar, who had regained its strength, emerged from the shadows, pried open its mouth, put its hand inside, and pulled out popcorn and cola, handing them to Weixin, Mary, and Lillie.
The cola was even iced, and Wei Xin suspected that there was a fat blue and white cat in the Gengar's family tree.
"Then, I hereby declare the battle between the notorious Pokémon Hunter J and the supreme, strongest, and most benevolent Sinnoh Golden Legend, Cynthia, begin."
"Actually, I've wanted a chance to face you head-on for a long time," Cynthia said with a smile, taking out a Poké Ball and a lipstick with an Evolution Key embedded in it. She tossed the Poké Ball into the sky, "Soar through the skies, Garchomp!"
A Pokémon resembling a hammerhead shark, covered in blue-gray scales and with an inverted five-pointed star-shaped yellow spot on its nose, circled in the sky. Its feet, covered in white bone spikes, stepped on the curved metal plate of the deck. It opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and let out a terrifying, deafening roar.
"Is the end of the road just a place for people to admire, like crickets in a cage?"
Hunter J tossed his hair back, revealing his true face, trying to maintain decorum for his final dance, and showed the Key of Evolution on his wrist. "That's why I hate you trainers."
"Salamander, Mega Evolution!"
"Garuda, Mega Evolution!"
A dazzling light of evolution blooms in the heavy rain, and a form that transcends the limits of life emerges from its cocoon amidst the blinding aurora.
"Garuda, Dragon Dive!"
"Salamander, take flight and use Dragon Dance!"
A sharp, phantom-like energy enveloped Garchomp, trailing a purple meteor tail, and hurtled toward Salamence. Salamence raised its head, flapped its wings, and soared vertically into the air like a rocket, its body spinning.
Garchomp charged directly beneath Salamence, raised its head, and stomped through the metal plate beneath its feet. Its meteor tail fin extended at a right angle, and a purple lightning bolt shot out from the sky, striking Salamence.
"Oh dear, Dragon Dive didn't trigger the Coward effect. If only Cynthia's Garchomp could learn Dragon Dance," Wanlong murmured to herself.
"Salamander, Outrage!"
"Garuda, Dragon Claw!"
In the sky, two ferocious dragons clashed, their sharp teeth and claws leaving marks on each other's bodies.
"That Salamence is quite strong, being able to contend with Cynthia's Garchomp. If it participated in the League competition, it might even win a regional championship," Wanlong said.
Hunter J is a formidable opponent and a headache for the League for many reasons: his team of hundreds of people is as powerful as a small organization; he has a unique eye for capturing Pokémon; and he has many wealthy backers.
But most importantly, it's her ability.
Most of the Pokémon she possesses are exceptional individuals from their respective species, some even possessing unique abilities. For example, the Hypnos has the ability to amplify the hypnotic effect by using metal rings of the same material, making it the only known individual to date.
Besides Cattleya, Elite Four members and Gym Leaders like Sabrina, who possess powers beyond human comprehension, can use the strategy of capturing the leader first to fight Hunter J.
In the wild, even regional champions dare not make a move against her. Rumor has it that even a top player has fallen to her.
But her journey has come to an end today.
As Garchomp used Dragon Dive to slam Salamence into the spaceship, rendering it unable to get up, all of Hunter J's Pokémon became incapacitated.
Her escaped subordinates and the slacker hiding in the pipes were all captured by the Donghuang Alliance.
After Hunter J struggled in vain, he was put into a special restraint suit prepared in advance by the soldiers of the Eastern Alliance. Even Fighting-type Pokémon could not break free from it, and he was sent to Kyoto for trial.
This terrorist attack, which nearly became the 9/11 of the East, ended in a miraculous victory, with everyone surviving.
Although the aftermath of Hunter J's capture will bring various troubles to the future of the Eastern Empire and even the World League, that's a story for another time.
After all the people and Pokémon on board the spaceship were evacuated, the spaceship's propulsion system finally reached its limit and shut down completely, crashing into the Eastern Sea. The cargo that was thrown out was left for the surrounding fishermen to salvage.
Solve the major robbery in Shanghai and receive a reward of 864000 Action Points.
The system was also very generous in giving Wei Xin a ten-pull. After all, it was a big event. Surely no one could finish a whole version of the main storyline and still not get a single ten-pull.
What are we waiting for? Let's draw cards!
First are five white treasure chests

[Reference Material: Lugia's Secret Records II]
[Reference Material: Lugia's Secret Records III]
[Reference Material: Leisurely Travel]
[Reference Material: The Peach Blossom Spring]
Putting aside the fact that Wei Xin had forgotten classical Chinese after the college entrance examination, why were all the materials drawn this time related to Lugia?
Lugia is making a strong push under the guidance of the "Supporting Brother"?
Next are two blue treasure chests.
[Collection Category: Mythical Beast Scroll "Peng"]
[Collection Category: Mythical Beast Scroll "Kun"]
Then there are three purple treasure chests.
[Reference Material: GS Ball Manufacturing Guide]
GS Ball? Wei Xin remembered that it seemed to be a special Poké Ball used to capture the legendary Pokémon Celebi, made of berries, silver feathers, and rainbow feathers.
[Reference Material: Transformation Suit Making Guide]
Transformation suits are outfits that can grant specific Pokémon special abilities. The materials required include special Zoroark fur, Ditto cells, and materials from specific Pokémon, such as the fur from Masculine and Cinderace.
In reality, it's probably similar to the mask of the Evil Spirit.

And finally, the golden treasure chest.

Wei Xin, exhausted, lay on Corviknight's back, clutching Eevee. All he wanted was to get back to Shanghai, have a proper lunch (though lunchtime was long over), and then take a comfortable nap with Eevee and Ralts in his arms.
Until a huge howl rose from the seabed, drawing everyone's attention.
"Look what that is!" Lillie pointed to the ocean below. Everyone looked down and saw a huge white wing stirring up the waves. A head with dark purple eyeshadow and eyebrows rose from the sea, carrying the cabin that Wei Xin had discarded in its mouth.
"It's Lugia, the master of monsoons and ocean currents, Lugia!" Wei Xin exclaimed in surprise.
The data I just pulled, Brother Tongzi, was this also included in your calculations?
"But isn't White Lugia in the Orange Islands? Why would it appear in the territory of the Eastern Empire?" an officer from the Eastern Empire asked, as there were no reports of White Lugia being discovered within the territory of the Eastern Empire.
Then everyone saw Lugia bite open the cargo hold in its mouth, and a pure white elf egg fell out and into Lugia's mouth.
"It's for her child. Hunter J stole her child, and she came following the scent of her child. The storm overhead is a sign of her arrival," Wei Xin explained.
Something that J would do.
"Everyone be careful! Lugia has taken off and is heading this way! Everyone spread out! Prepare for an attack!"
Although Pokémon are intelligent, they are easily swayed by their emotions. It is not uncommon for Pokémon to harbor hatred towards the entire human population after being harmed by humans.
"There's no need for that, they meant no harm," Wei Xin shouted, pointing to the sky above. The turbulent rain clouds that had blanketed the coast of Donghuang had dissipated sometime earlier.
Countless white waves surged on the sea surface, and countless white wings of varying sizes emerged from the water.
I forgot the beginning; it transformed into a bird named Peng, but I forgot the end.
The main subject of "Free and Easy Wandering" is the Kun, which is also known as Kyogre. The description of the Peng, which is also known as Lugia, comes from folk legends and was attributed to Kyogre through oral transmission.
"Is it an entire Lugia colony?" Cynthia exclaimed, standing on Togekiss. "Perhaps they've been hiding near the Eastern Seas, waiting for a Pokémon hunter to appear so they can launch an attack and reclaim their young."
A mother who has lost her child and is furious, bringing her entire tribe, combined with Hunter J's code of conduct, it's impossible for her to obediently return the child to Lugia. Once a conflict breaks out, the consequences are predictable.
"They must have sensed a change in the Pokémon hunters' movements, which is why they followed the ocean currents and dived into the Eastern Sea."
A medium-sized Lugia flew to Togekiss's side.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Cynthia tentatively reached out and touched the feathers on Lugia's body, revealing a surprised smile.
She had never seen such a migration of Lugia communities before, and she never expected that she would be fortunate enough to witness such a scene on her very first day in Donghuang.
"They've come to express their gratitude," Cynthia said, standing on Lugia's lap and hugging his neck. "They're planning to escort us back."
Unlike some Pokémon with fiery tempers who want to wreak havoc as soon as they wake up, Lugia is a relatively rational and easy-going individual among the legendary Pokémon.
Riding Lugia back to Shanghai, that's quite a show of status.
Seeing this, many people tried to do it, but unfortunately, they all failed. They couldn't even touch Lugia, let alone ride on it.
If they're not the kind of person I like, I'll reject them outright.
Even more extreme, it nudged the Dragonite that was holding Hunter J, snatched Hunter J from its grasp, and then returned to the group, balancing her on its head like a small ball.
Hunter J made a stammering sound, and if it weren't for the straitjacket covering her mouth and preventing her from speaking, everyone could have heard her wailing.
"Don't break it. Remember to return it to us when you get back to Shanghai," Wei Xin shouted a reminder.
Hunter J's clients are located in various regions, even within the Eastern Empire. She herself is also an important source of information for investigating many cases.
Furthermore, the bounty on her body, combined with the bounties from various alliances, has reached an unbelievable figure, and a large portion of these bounties will be deposited into Wei Xin's account.
"Whoa!" Lugia yelled, indicating that she had heard him, and then started playing catch with her companions.
Finally, after losing his wealth, his team, and his freedom, Hunter J's last remaining dignity and self-respect were worn away on his way to Shanghai.
Forget it, let's just destroy it.
The largest Lugia carefully carried the egg in its mouth, flew to Wei Xin's side, winked at him, and then spat the egg into Wei Xin's arms.
"Ugh, it's not my fault!"
Wei Xin was shocked and hurriedly reached out to catch the egg, which was about the same size as him. The Steel Raven beneath him quickly adjusted its posture, bracing against the sudden increase in weight, and prevented the plane from crashing.
"How can you be such a fierce mother?"
Holding the egg in his arms, Wei Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Ralts popped out of the Poké Ball and lay on Wei Xin's back, while Eevee also poked its head out.
Then, the egg emitted a dazzling silver light, and a pure white life hatched in Wei Xin's arms.
The others were dumbfounded.
Dude, are you a Fiery Arrow Finch?
