Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 385: Odomare and the Shuidu Brothers and Sisters

When Nan Fang closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of tranquility in his heart.

A drop of water fell in the darkness.

As the figure became clearer, Nan Fang and Xi Jiana finally saw clearly the visitor who suddenly appeared.

The streamlined body is red in the back, with wings like jet wings and feet like fish fins. The upper half of its body is white, with a blue triangle mark on its chest. Its face is red, with triangular ears and a white pentagonal pattern on its forehead. Its golden eyes are lively and sparkling.

"Latias!"

Nan Fang and Xi Jiana exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Latias's eyes were obviously filled with fear, and he didn't know why the human in front of him suddenly discovered his whereabouts.

Her gaze turned timidly to the Gyarados that was still going crazy.

"Latti..."

Latias slowly closed her eyes, and a colorful light slowly appeared on her body. In an instant, Gyarados' body also began to emit this light and gradually covered the whole body.

Miraculously, as the light deepened, Gyarados's movements also began to slow down, and eventually calmed down.

"Woo~" With Latias's gentle call, Gyarados exited the MEGA evolution state, turned over its belly, made circles with its eyes, and floated on the sea like a dead fish.

"Yas!" Another shout.

Latias' glass-like feathers flickered slightly, and its figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

[You are not bad people, leave here quickly and don't come back! ]

A young female voice sounded in Nan Fang's heart.

"Wait a moment...!"

no respond.

At the same time, Nan Fang no longer felt the presence of Latias, and it seemed that he had really left this time.

It was getting dark, and the two returned to their residence.

"Didn't you hear her voice?" Nan Fang looked at Xijiana in surprise.

"No. It seems that she only said this to you." Xijiana shook her head. "It is said that Latias has a high IQ and can understand human language. It can communicate with humans through telepathy and can perceive people's hearts very keenly."

"Latias has a brother, Latios, who has the same ability. They are the only mythical beasts that have male and female differences."

"It is said that they usually move together in groups of several and rarely come into contact with humans or Pokémon. Once they sense hostility, they will raise their feathers, use fierce barking to intimidate the opponent, and disappear without a trace."

"Or use the refraction of light to change your appearance, so that you can hide yourself."

"I didn't expect to encounter this kind of Pokémon in a place like this. It's a bit suspicious." Shijiana analyzed calmly.

"Yeah, I think so too." Nan Fang nodded.

"Although I discovered it first, she not only did not flee immediately, but she even exposed herself to save Gyarados from danger."

"What a kind Pokémon."

"Is there something attracting her there?" Xijiana asked puzzledly.

"Maybe not entirely. Because her expression clearly showed that she was afraid of something. She told me not to come back, so she must have been observing us for a long time. I don't think she was afraid of the two of us."

"It's white fog!" The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"There must be something in the white fog, something important enough for her to risk showing up to stop us from moving forward. Is there a possibility... it's Latios?" Shijiana guessed.

"It's very likely. Because as far as I know, these Pokémon usually act together. No, we have to go again. This is not only related to our plan. Just because Latias saved Gyarados, I have to try to help her too." Nan Fang made the decision, and Xijiana agreed.

The next day.

After resting, the two took a speedboat and arrived at the edge of the white fog again.

"Latias, are you there!? Can we talk for a moment?"

Nan Fang stood on the speedboat and shouted loudly to all around.

Although he was mentally prepared, the fact that Latias did not show up at this time still made Nan Fang feel a little anxious and frustrated.

"Maybe she is by our side now, but she just doesn't want us to see her." Xijiana looked around, but there was still only a vast expanse of white in front of her.

“Latias! We know that you chose to show up and help us yesterday because you didn’t want us to get hurt!”

"But we also want to help you! You should know our strength. At least we have no problem protecting ourselves!"

"Behind this white fog, there are also things that are very important to us, and there are some very important things to do."

"I know! You may be scared and helpless! Maybe your brother is in trouble!"

"But please believe us! We will definitely help you rescue your brother!"

After waiting for a moment, just when Nan Fang was about to be disappointed again, a familiar breath suddenly appeared.

[Can you...really help me? ]

The red mythical beast slowly appeared. Latias flew to Nanfang and spoke weakly with crystal eyes.

Nan Fang was relieved.

“We will definitely try our best.”

"And, if your brother is really in the white fog, then the villains we two want to find and punish may be the same group of people who hurt your brother. So whether you talk to us now or not, we have to think of other ways to enter this white fog." Nanfang smiled and said gently to Latias.

[Thank you... Then... please help me! ]

As if he had made up his mind, Latias slowly landed on Nanfang's speedboat. Nanfang had a sharp eye and saw at a glance that there was a wound on Latias' right arm.

"Let me give you a simple treatment first."

The two people and the Pokémon immediately began to talk.

According to Latias, she and her brother Latios lived together in this Awakening Temple, which was an ancient ruin on a deserted island. This ruin was a temple built by later people on an island called Aldomare hundreds of years ago to protect the important treasure, the 'Drop of Heart'.

Later, the city on the island was also called Odomare.

With the changing of times, this beautiful and rich water capital has slowly disappeared in the long river of history.

At that time, the two infinite Pokémon, the mythical beasts who saved Aldomare and guarded the treasure "Drop of Heart", are now the siblings Latios and Latias.

Although the former Odomare has disappeared, their tribe still lives here from generation to generation, guarding it silently.

Until this day, a group of humans suddenly broke in here.

They planned to steal the 'Drop of Heart' buried deep underground, and also attempted to capture the two siblings.

The two siblings, who were outnumbered, could not withstand the fierce attack from the other side. In order to protect his sister, Latios, the elder brother, risked his life and led them to the depths of the ruins alone. He released all his energy and created a large white fog that covered the entire island, trapping them on the island.

Latios warned his sister not to take risks alone and to stay away from this place!

As a brother, he will definitely show up again and find Latias.

Latias, who was worried about her brother, did not go far away. She just wanted to break into the white fog to rescue her brother, but she was afraid that she was too weak and would become a burden to her brother.

So Latias waited and waited, hoping that one day his brother would appear again.

This is roughly what happened.

Nanfang looked at Xijiana and said, "You said you had been to the temple before. When was that? Was the temple still normal at that time?"

Xijiana thought carefully.
