Chapter 396: Finding Druddigon
Made a decision in heart.
But before going to see Druddigon, there seem to be some things.
"Victini, what's your plan?"
"Tini?"
"Want to go with me?"
"Tini!"
Victini nodded immediately, a smile appearing on his face, hugging Will and rubbing against him.
"Mm, then let's go together."
Will held him and smiled, then looked up at Black and White Dragons,
"You woke up this time because of me or this girl?"
Will gestured to Cynthia beside him.
Black and White Dragons turned to look at her.
"Me?"
Cynthia was stunned, pointing at herself doubtfully.
She didn't know what she did.
Why do these four Pokémon look at her like this?
"Related to the State Preceptor, but the key is not because of you, and we will sleep again soon."
Zekrom and Reshiram nodded, but also shook their heads.
They estimated to wake up in the future; originally in a "half-asleep half-awake" stage.
But this time point is still a bit early.
About 15 years or so.
This is indeed a bit early for Black and White Dragons.
Waking up was because Dragon Veins were activated by the Earth Core in Will's body; the movement made woke them up in advance.
"Is there a descendant of the People of the Vale about to meet the conditions to become a Hero?"
Will thought for a second, then asked again.
With the relationship between the Unova trio dragons and the People of the Vale, and considering the frequency of their awakening.
Will felt.
They might only choose "Heroes" among the People of the Vale.
Otherwise.
In this Pokémon world, trainers satisfying "Truth" or "Ideal" shouldn't be few; impossible to make Black and White Dragons wake up only once in a thousand years.
"Worthy of being the State Preceptor."
Zekrom nodded.
"Are you going out to find them?"
"No, wait for them to come to us themselves. If they don't come, we will wait quietly or continue to sleep."
Reshiram shook his head.
The two dragons are quite particular about "fate."
"In that case, I can leave with peace of mind."
Will got up holding Victini, looking at the two dragons and saying,
"I am very happy to see you again."
"So are we."
Zekrom smiled.
After a thousand years, still able to see an acquaintance.
This joy, ordinary creatures won't understand.
"If needed, State Preceptor is welcome to come to Dragonspiral Tower to find us anytime. Use the Earth Core in your hand to stimulate the power of Dragon Veins; even if we are in slumber, we can wake up briefly to help you."
Reshiram added a sentence, then looked east again,
"That guy Kyurem seems to be in the frozen land of the east. If State Preceptor is interested, you can go see him without worry. As long as you state your identity as the State Preceptor of the Vale, he will absolutely not hurt you."
"Okay, I remember."
Will nodded, but had no such plan for the time being.
He has quite a few things to do.
Before passing through the Giant Chasm, might have to accompany Cynthia to challenge the Unova League.
And that guy Kyurem...
Although not a villain Mythical Beast, the temper shown in the movie was indeed somewhat irritable, not a particularly easy character to get along with.
"We will send you away."
Zekrom and Reshiram bent down, meaning to let them ride up.
This "them" should include Cynthia.
For Will's sake, the little girl can have an experience ordinary people can never have in their lifetime—riding a First-Level God (Box Legendary).
Have to say.
These two dragons are considered the kind without airs among many gods.
Ordinary characters are not qualified to ride on First-Level Gods.
Except a certain Ash.
"Ah, okay. If possible, hope to send me to Chargestone Cave, thanks."
Then Will turned to face Cynthia,
"Cynthia, we should leave here; Zekrom and Reshiram said they want to send us away."
"Eh?"
Cynthia was stunned, then looked up at Black and White Dragons.
"Who do you want to take you down?"
"...I can choose?"
Cynthia widened her eyes, looking at her dog in shock.
She completely didn't understand how things got to this step.
After all, she didn't know what happened to Will, nor heard the communication between these few Pokémon.
However.
Soon Cynthia couldn't care about this.
She looked at Black and White Dragons in front with excitement, looking at this one, then looking at that one, then frowning tightly holding her chin falling into hesitation.
"...Ah, damn, forgot Cynthia has difficulty choosing (decision paralysis)."
Will was startled seeing her appearance.
Too much time passed.
He forgot Cynthia had this problem.
Choosing an ice cream flavor takes 15 minutes.
Choosing Legendary Pokémon, wouldn't it take 15 hours?!
At this moment, Zekrom and Reshiram were also staring at Cynthia with interest, curious which one this little girl would like more.
But if really made to wait for 15 hours, they might not be curious anymore.
"Cynthia, let Reshiram take you down; Zekrom's body is harder."
"? Reshiram?"
"The white one."
Will pointed to the White Dragon.
After making a decision, holding Victini with one hand, he flipped onto Zekrom.
This is the second time Will was invited to ride a First-Level God.
The previous one was Ho-Oh on top of Mount Tensei in the previous life.
On the other side.
Reshiram lowered his body, allowing Cynthia to climb onto his back by pulling his feathers.
"Wow~ so soft~"
Cynthia rode on Reshiram, hugging his neck and rubbing.
After Will and Cynthia sat firmly.
Black and White Dragons took off simultaneously.
The next moment.
They appeared in the sky above Dragonspiral Tower.
The twin dragons looked around, identified the direction and flew south.
At this time, the night was deep; the light of Dragon Veins fell silent. Basically no one noticed the two figures in the sky.
How fast is the speed of the twin dragons.
Even driving a car in modern times, wanting to reach Chargestone Cave from Dragonspiral Tower would take at least three hours.
But sitting on the backs of the twin dragons.
Less than ten minutes.
Will and Cynthia were already standing at the entrance of Chargestone Cave.
"Isn't this Chargestone Cave? Why send us here?"
Cynthia looked at the cave entrance in front.
Sounds of whistling wind came from the cave, like a big mouth breathing in the dark night, making people shudder.
She still remembers that huge Druddigon appearing a few days ago.
Too terrible.
"Then we go back first."
Black and White Dragons looked at Will.
"Mm."
The latter nodded.
Then they flew towards the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Cynthia."
Will looked at the girl beside him again.
"Hm?"
Cynthia looked at Will subconsciously.
Only then noticed Victini was still held in Will's arms, instantly attracting most of her attention; the unease in her heart dissipated mostly.
This little thing seems to stick to her dog.
"Trust me?"
"Of course!"
"Go to the deepest part of Chargestone Cave with me, find that Druddigon."
"Eh?!"
Cynthia showed a shocked expression on her face.
They were chased out of the cave by that big guy just a few days ago, almost dying inside with those Team Plasma people.
Resulting in going back to find him now?
"...Riolu, did something happen in the 15 minutes you fainted?"
Cynthia lowered her head in thought.
Recalling various abnormalities after Riolu woke up, the attitude of the three Legendary Pokémon towards them.
She guessed.
Something must have happened to Riolu in the 15 minutes he fainted.
Or.
Riolu knew these three Legendary Pokémon in the past?
And actually.
These two guesses in Cynthia's heart were not wrong.
"Talk while walking; don't worry, that Druddigon won't hurt us. You will know after listening to what I tell you next."
Will extended his hand to Cynthia showing a smile.
Cynthia didn't hesitate.
She reached out to hold Will's hand, walking into that dim and cold Chargestone Cave under his guidance.
Along the way.
Will briefly told Cynthia about his time travel to a thousand years ago, becoming the State Preceptor of the Vale.
Hearing these, Cynthia was extremely shocked.
Traveling through time and space.
Simply never heard of it.
She couldn't imagine even more that her dog was so powerful, able to become the State Preceptor of a country!
Finished telling.
"Riolu."
"Hm?"
"Hard work for you."
Cynthia opened her arms to hug Will, stroking his head with her hand,
"Traveled alone to such a dangerous era, you must have suffered a lot of grievances. Sorry, I didn't accompany you."
The Aura in Cynthia's heart was mostly heartache.
Will smiled at her.
This is one of the reasons he chose to tell Cynthia.
Even telling Cynthia, nothing will happen.
This is not something worth hiding; Will doesn't want to hide from his partner either.
And Cynthia is very interested in those past things.
Will felt Cynthia would be very happy if he told her these things.
Of course.
The most critical reason is—Will wants to take Druddigon away, let him live a good life.
But Druddigon is too large.
Might need Cynthia to take him away with a Poké Ball.
And once Druddigon runs out, it will definitely attract high attention from the Unova League.
This is undoubted.
When he "died" a thousand years ago, Druddigon was already Lv. 75. Even if Druddigon stayed in Chargestone Cave doing nothing later, now he is definitely a stable Champion-level Totem (Overlord) Pokémon.
Such a guy running out, once causing any trouble, the Unova League can hardly absolve itself from blame.
Will needs a person with extreme weight (influence) to "guarantee," only then can he take Druddigon away smoothly.
Cynthia is definitely not such a person with weight.
She is just a 12-year-old girl.
But.
Her mother Kaoru is.
Kaoru is the Chief Trainer of the Sinnoh League, placed in the future that is "Champion."
If Kaoru "tamed" Druddigon, then the Unova League certainly wouldn't have any opinion, maybe even feeling relieved of a hot potato.
A quiet and peaceful place like Celestic Town, with few people, is also suitable for a big guy like Druddigon to stay.
Those Pokémon of Kaoru can all become Druddigon's friends.
There are also many Pokémon in Celestic Town to play with Druddigon.
When Will and Cynthia finish traveling outside and return to Celestic Town, they can also play with Druddigon, even take Big Silly back to Mt. Coronet to be an adopted son for Mama Wolf.
But the premise of all this is to let Cynthia know first, let her persuade Kaoru.
Let them know.
Druddigon is not a terrible guy.
Is Will's good friend, a trustworthy partner.
