Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 271 True History!

"The Bell Tower and the Bell Tower are the symbols of Yuanzhu City." After appreciating Xichen's surprised expression for a while, Feng Wang continued: "These two towers were built to enhance the friendship between humans and Pokémon. The scenery on the top of the tower is very beautiful."

A trace of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the Ho-Oh: "The tower on the east side is used to wake up Pokémon, while the tower on the west side is used to put Pokémon to sleep. Hundreds of years ago, I lived on the top of the bell tower on the east side, and Lugia lived in the east tower on the west side, which is the bell tower, now the scorched tower."

"One hundred and fifty years ago, a bolt of lightning struck the bell tower on the west side, and the tower instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and was finally put out by a heavy rain. However, by that time, there was not much left of the tower. Even three unknown Pokémon were burned to death in the fire. I used my power to save them. They are Entei Suicune and Raikou in front of you. After that, Lugia went to the Whirlpool Islands, and I left here and disappeared from people's sight."

"......" After listening to the story of the Phoenix King, Xichen fell silent, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally he shook his head: "This is unreasonable, there are too many doubts in the history you mentioned!"

"Oh~ Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Phoenix King asked with a smile, with admiration in his eyes.

"First of all, Lugia has the ability to change the weather. Even though the Lugia you mentioned is not the God of the Sea, it should be easy for it to control the weather. So with its ability, how could it allow lightning to strike the bell tower where it lives? And let the fire burn for three whole days and three nights? This is complete nonsense! With Lugia's ability, it only takes a moment to put out the fire.

Furthermore, as the Lord of Fire and Lugia's neighbor, there is no reason for you to allow the Bell Tower to be engulfed by the flames and then shut down the fire from the other side.

Third, if the fire really burned for three days and three nights, then the fire should have spread to every floor. But I observed when I just came in that although the tower was in ruins, the degree of burnt on each floor was the same. In your story, the fire was caused by lightning striking the top of the tower, so it stands to reason that the fire spread from the top to every floor, and the top of the tower must have been the most severely damaged. How could this happen? So your story is irrational no matter how you think about it!"

Xichen pointed out all the unreasonable things. The more King Feng listened, the more he admired Xichen. However, Xichen did not stop talking.

"This is definitely not a simple fire, otherwise you and Lugia would not have left Vermillion City. And I also heard that since you left, the relationship between humans and Pokémon in Vermillion City has been very tense. People are saying that you no longer trust humans. If your story is true, then your change in attitude towards humans started with the fire, but there is no mention of humans having any relationship with the fire. What is hidden in this?"

"Xichen, you are really smart. If Lord Arceus had not chosen you, I would have wanted to make you my Rainbow Hero. I believe the other guys would have the same opinion of you." After listening to Xichen's analysis, the King of Phoenix said jokingly. Xichen felt ashamed for this, as he was just expressing his thoughts.

"You're right. This part of history has also been tampered with." The Phoenix King said shockingly: "The Bell Tower became like this because of a fight between Lugia and me. I was the one who burned it down!"

"Why do you want to do this?" Xi Chen asked in confusion: "Lugia and you are both kind beasts, shouldn't you fight?"

"Because the four golden bells that inherited the power of life on the bell tower were stolen!" Phoenix King suddenly said a little embarrassedly: "As the God of Life, I certainly can't just sit there and watch. At that time, I believed in humans and my believers even more, but those believers told me that it was Lugia who did it. The golden bells are very important to me. At that time, I was blinded by anger and attacked Lugia without any explanation."

"Like you said, Lugia is a kind Pokémon. It didn't fight back, even though I injured it, burned its guards to death, and even drove it to the Orange Islands."

"Ah, this..." Xichen couldn't figure it out. It felt like it was Feng Wang's own fault. But then Xichen thought of another question: "Why did the people in Yuanzhu City cover up this history? They even tampered with it twice. Was it out of respect for you?"

"That's the reason." Ho-Oh nodded. Sometimes too many crazy fans can be a headache for Pokémon. "But the main reason is that Lugia is back!"

"Lugia is back? To seek revenge on you?"

"That's right. The original Lugia might not be like this, but at that time, Lugia had changed. Its reason was destroyed by hatred, and the power of darkness eroded it. It not only launched indiscriminate attacks on me, but also on the residents of Yuanzhu City. It changed from the God of the Sea to the God of Darkness!"

"God of Darkness?! It turns out that Lugia had already become the God of Darkness so long ago!" Xi Chen said in shock: "Then how did you defeat it back then? If you hadn't lost, the legend wouldn't have spread like this."

"Although I won that battle, it's not really a win." Phoenix King said reminiscingly: "My life law has a natural restraining effect on Dark Lugia, but despite this, I was still seriously injured. At that time, the dark power had not completely eroded Lugia, and it still had some rationality. In the end, it stopped attacking and forced itself to leave Yuanzhu City and return to the Orange Islands. Afterwards, Arceus descended on the Orange Islands and sealed the dark power in it. When you were in the Orange Islands, I felt the evil dark power, so I let them bring my power to help you, which can be regarded as making up for my previous mistakes."

"But fortunately, you and your companions did not let me down. The wind that blew life eventually blew away the darkness in Lugia's heart."

“So that’s how it is.” Xichen murmured. The current guards of Ho-Oh were actually the previous guards of Lugia. However, in Xichen’s opinion, Arceus was fully capable of clearing the dark power from Lugia, but He only sealed it. Was it for his own sake?

If this is true, then Arceus's plan was too early. He actually knew hundreds of years ago that Xichen would come and that the King of Phoenix would give him strength to resolve this incident. Is He really omniscient and omnipotent?
