Chapter 160 Lugia's Entrustment
Lugia, which had been hovering in the air, landed smoothly in front of Ash and his friends.
It gently leaned down, gesturing for Xiaozhi to sit on it.
"Please join me in completing this final ritual, and return the gods' treasure to their island, Ash."
I thought it would be over after I finished playing the flute, but since this is the last one...
Moreover, Ash could ride Lugia, a rare and legendary Pokémon, so he naturally agreed.
Amidst envious glances from everyone, Ash, along with Pikachu and three beads, rode on Lugia's back.
It flapped its wings and leaped into the sky.
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving the achievement "Ride the God!": Successfully rode a Legendary Pokémon/person]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Speed +1; Free Attribute Points +2]
[Gained Trait: Riding lv5 → Iv6 (Speed increases by 15% when riding a mount. Being Ash's dog (just kidding) mount is my greatest honor!)]
"What does 'Pokémon slashie' mean?" Ash was very confused. "Are there any legendary Pokémon?"
However, riding Lugia is really great; the sea god flies fast yet is very stable.
Feeling the gentle breeze caress his cheeks, Xiao Zhi's pain lessened somewhat.
Suddenly, Pikachu pulled Ash to look at the other side of the sea.
"Pikachu, Pikachu!"
There was a huge number of Pokémon gathered there, stretching for several sea miles.
Those who could swim were in the sea, while the rest stood on the shore, gazing in the direction Lugia was flying.
These are
"Pokémon can feel changes in nature more acutely; they can sense that something bad might happen to the world."
"So even though they were powerless to do anything about it, they still wanted to come here, and now they are thanking you."
Lugia's voice appeared in Ash's mind to explain.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise something truly irreparable might have happened."
Xiao Zhi was quite modest about this.
"I just did what I was supposed to do. After all, it all started with human evil, so it should be human's responsibility to solve it."
[Ding! Lugia (God of the Sea): Affection +5]
"With a young man like you around, I can feel a little more at ease."
"Humans and Pokémon are both part of the world; we are a community, so we cannot destroy the home we all depend on for survival."
"I hope there will never be another opportunity for me to show up; let me remain a legend forever."
It seems Lugia is still a bit traumatized by this incident, after all, he was beaten so badly.
"!"
"Gah!"
"Gurgle!"
A series of clear bird calls rang out, and then the three legendary birds flew to Ash's side and flew with him.
Just looking at their radiant appearance, and then at his own and Lugia's wounds, Ash almost wanted to ambush them again.
However, they did lose control, which is why they did this; it wasn't the Three Divine Birds' intention.
So in the end, Ash refrained from making a move.
However, seeing Ash's reaction, they felt a little embarrassed and began to fly around Lugia together.
The three gems in Ash's pocket also resonated at that moment, emitting a dazzling light.
In the blink of an eye, all these lights merged into Ash's body.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the "Blessing of the Fire God": When casting a fire-type skill, its power is increased by 5%; when taking damage from a fire-type skill, its power is reduced by 5%; the Moltres clan will feel friendly towards you.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the "Blessing of the Thunder God": When using Electric-type moves, the power is increased by 5%; when taking damage from Electric-type moves, the power is reduced by 5%; the Zapdos family will feel friendly towards you.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the "Blessing of the Ice God": When casting Ice-type moves, the power is increased by 5%; when taking damage from Ice-type moves, the power is reduced by 5%; Articuno clan members will feel friendly towards you.]
"Well, at least you guys still have some conscience. I forgive you."
Seeing Ash's expression, the Sea God couldn't help but smile kindly.
The process of returning the orb went smoothly, since this time they weren't being chased by the three terrifying gods again.
It was simply a matter of putting the beads back in their original positions.
Ash was still a little reluctant to part with them, as these beads were really useful.
The bonus is so high, it can increase skill power by 30%, even Arceus's Slate only increases it by 20%.
However, for the sake of world balance, Ash had no choice but to reluctantly put it back, even though it wasn't originally his.
After returning the last Ice God Orb with Pikachu, the Sea God Ritual officially ended.
"That's good, we can finally take this one step at a time."
Since receiving the mission to save the world, Ash has been under immense pressure, and now he can finally relax for a while.
At this moment, the sea god Lugia spread its great wings, and the three divine birds surrounded it, appearing both sacred and majestic in the sunlight.
A massive ocean current suddenly stretched from the deep sea to the horizon, and then slowly sank back into the seabed under Lugia's control.
The world's magnetic field and deep ocean currents finally returned to normal, and the three divine birds flew back to their respective islands to continue fulfilling their duties.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the "Savior Boy" achievement: You have successfully saved the world!]
[Rewards: 50000 League Coins; 10 Free Attribute Points; Obtain "Proof of Salvation": Increases the initial affinity between you and the humans or Pokémon on the side of justice by 5]

[Xerneas: Affection +5]
[Kyogre: Affection +5]

[Thunderbird (God of Thunder): Affection +5]
[Arceus: Affection +5]
Ash was a little bewildered by the barrage of positive feedback notifications.
"These names all seem pretty impressive!"
"hold head high--!"
Suddenly, Lugia's cry called to Ash. Although the three legendary birds had already flown back, they had not left yet.
"Young man, thanks to you and your companions, the world was saved this time. This is my reward for you."
Two silver-white feathers drifted down from Lugia's chest and landed in Ash's hand.
[Ding! Obtained: Silver Feather +2]
"And I have something I'd like to entrust to you."
"Oh, of course, no problem."
Although it's unclear what Lugia wants to entrust, it's certainly not a bad thing to be keeping something for the sea god.
"No, you should take a look first before making a decision."
Even if you reject me, I won't blame you.
Immediately afterward, Lugia called out, and a black egg slowly floated up from the sea.
"What is this?" If Ash isn't mistaken, this should be a Pokémon egg.
"This is my child. A long time ago, it suffered an accident and was tainted with a dark and violent aura."
A flicker of heartache and regret crossed Lugia's eyes.
"It's all my fault that it turned out this way."
