"Let's not talk about that for now." Maya looked at Natsui, her red lips parting slightly. "Actually, besides celebrating you becoming the Sea Hero, there is another very urgent matter I would like to ask for your help with."
Here it cos!
Natsui thought to himself, 'I knew it.' He was about to listen to what Maya's request was, but before he could speak, Brock had already shot up from his seat, pounding his chest loudly.
"Miss Maya! Please, just ask for anything, you don't need to be so polite with us!" Hearing that Maya had a request, Brock's eyes turned completely into heart shapes. "No matter what it is, we will go through fire and water and do everything in our power to help you! So... is this urgent matter about starting a sweet romance with you?"
Hearing this, Natsui and the others looked at him speechlessly. Misty, in particular, couldn't help but get goosebumps.
That Brock...
He was speaking so seriously a mont ago, how did he change so completely?
She couldn't even bring herself to say such embarrassing words to Natsui, yet Brock had shalessly said it in front of so many people!!
Such thick skin was absolutely unparalleled in this world. It was as if his personality had suddenly changed and he had turned into a pervert!!
Fortunately, knowing this was just his personality, Misty pushed Brock aside and looked at Maya apologetically. "Sorry, please don't mind this guy. His head isn't quite right. May I ask, what is the matter?"
Maya didn't answer her, but looked at Natsui again.
Compared to the others, she was more concerned with the Sea Hero's thoughts. In her view, only Natsui, who had received the blessing of the sea, was qualified to accept the commission to complete this task.
Seeing this, Natsui didn't answer her imdiately. Instead, he first asked, "Please, just say what's on your mind. Has sothing happened?"
Seeing him speak, Maya finally explained, "It's about the Sea God..."
"About Lugia?"
"That's right." Maya nodded. "There are signs indicating that the Sea God of our Whirl Islands has been targeted by an evil organization. They are attempting to capture it..."
"Huh? Wait a minute!" Ash and the others were stunned. "Are you saying there's a Sea God here too!?"
"Of course." Maya glanced at him. Given that he was Natsui's companion, she no longer concealed anything. "There is indeed a Sea God beneath the waters of the Whirl Islands. And not just one..."
Misty and Ash looked at each other. This news was too shocking for them. To think that the legendary Pokémon countless people dread of was hidden in the sea nearby!
Ash was flabbergasted. "I thought there was only one Lugia in the whole world..."
"Of course not," Natsui explained. "Just like the one we t in the Orange Archipelago, although Lugia are quite rare in this world, they are not unique individuals. In fact, it's not just Lugia; it's the sa for Moltres and the others. There are even different forms of the three legendary birds in the Galar region."
"He's right," Maya added. "This is the Sea Shrine. What we worship is, naturally, the local Sea God of the Whirl Islands. But there is definitely more than one Sea God in this world. They reproduce just like other Pokémon."
"I see." Ash scratched his head. "Natsui, you really know a lot."
Natsui just smiled noncommittally. It wasn't that he knew a lot, but that he had played a lot and seen even more!
In fact, with Maya's ntion of this, so things instantly ca to his mind.
According to information from the ani, there was indeed a mother and child Lugia pair in the Johto region, and their location seed to be in the Whirl Islands. He also clearly rembered that the child Lugia's na was Silver!
Of course, this Silver had absolutely no relation to Giovanni's son, Silver; it was just a shared na.
But speaking of Giovanni...
Looking at Maya, Natsui asked, "The evil organization you ntioned, could it be..."
Maya interjected, "It's Team Rocket, an evil organization that wreaks havoc in Johto!"
It's them, as expected.
The Johto and Kanto regions were Team Rocket's main areas of operation. Besides them, Natsui didn't think any other evil organization would dare to hunt Pokémon so rampantly here!
"Don't worry." Natsui thought for a mont and finally agreed. "Leave this to us. We've dealt with those guys many tis. Since we've encountered this, even if you hadn't asked, we would never let them succeed!"
...
At nine in the evening, after washing up, Natsui lay in a guest room in the Sea Shrine.
When the banquet ended, Maya discussed so more details of the matter with them. Seeing that it was getting late, she had them stay the night.
The Sea Shrine was not only a place of worship but also Maya's residence. As the High Priestess in a long line of succession, her family had, in fact, been living here since her ancestors' ti.
And in the future, if she were to marry and have children, her children would also continue to inherit the position of priest.
That's a pretty good iron rice bowl...
Natsui looked out the window at the starry sky and couldn't help but smile faintly.
Becoming a priest not only ensures a life free from worries about food and clothing but also commands respect, wealth, and a very high social status. It's the definition of a winner in life.
As his mind wandered, sleepiness slowly crept up on him. Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, a dark shadow suddenly erged from the wall.
Natsui lifted his eyelids for a glance and saw that it was his Gengar.
This fellow had been wandering around the shrine since the banquet began, calling it an "adventure." After all this ti, it finally knew to co back.
Yawning, he was about to turn over and sleep, but he saw Gengar co right up to his side.
"Hey, wake up! I just saw Team Rocket!"
Team Rocket!?
Hearing those two words, Natsui's sleepiness vanished instantly, and he imdiately beca wide awake!
He sat up and said in surprise, "How did Team Rocket get here? To think they've already found their way here. Are they planning to make a move on Maya? Or are they here looking for clues about Lugia?"
"I don't know." Gengar shook its head. "Anyway, those three guys snuck in sneakily and are wandering around here."
"Those... three guys?" Natsui was stunned for a mont, then realized who Gengar was referring to and couldn't help but curl his lip in disappointnt. "What the... so the Team Rocket you're talking about isn't the executives, but just Jas and those two..."
"What's wrong with them?" Gengar looked at Natsui in surprise. "Why do you seem to look down on them so much? Aren't they mbers of Team Rocket?"
Natsui burst out laughing. "How should I put it? Although those three are also Team Rocket, they never manage to accomplish anything big. No need to worry at all. Ash and the others are more than enough to handle them."
He was about to lie down again, but after a mont's hesitation, he still put on his jacket.
"Forget it. I can't sleep now anyway. I might as well go out and see what those guys are up to here!"
