Chapter 426: Drawing a Perfect Period
Will woke up not long after.
Should be Cynthia sprayed him with a Hyper Potion.
However, when he saw the position where he was, a question mark appeared on his head instantly.
According to his memory before fainting.
He should have been knocked down by the explosive Scrafty; the winner should be Scrafty and Mabe.
But why...
Now it is Cynthia and him standing on the winner's podium?
"Too wonderful! This is the most wonderful match I have seen in nearly ten years!"
"That Riolu is simply too powerful, 1v3 completed the reversal!"
"Scrafty's performance was also very good, actually stood up again at the last moment."
"That trainer named Cynthia is the scary one; young age with such strong observation, seized the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Charizard with Hydro Pump, reversing the situation instantly."
"What I am curious about now is, what was the Fire-type move that Riolu used at last? Rainbow-colored flame? Is there such a move?"
"This is the best ending!"
The audience discussed enthusiastically.
Will could feel countless gazes moving to him.
He looked around blankly, eyes gradually widening.
Because on this winner's podium, stood two teams.
The other one, happened to be Mabe and his group.
And at this moment, Mabe was holding Scrafty with swirling eyes in his arms.
"So, in the end Scrafty fell down with me?"
Will reached out doubtfully, pulling Cynthia's sleeve with his paw.
"Mm! Riolu is the most amazing! Mua~"
Cynthia nodded excitedly, stretching her neck to kiss heavily on Will's head.
Then rubbed her cheek against Will constantly,
"Ouch, you don't dislike dirt."
Will reached out to push away Cynthia's face.
He is either scorched or stained with mud now, dirtying Cynthia's sportswear.
"Hehe."
Cynthia smiled foolishly.
First time traveling with everyone, and won the tournament championship.
This Unova journey.
Really too perfect!
"Roar."
Garchomp beside turned her head somewhat jealously.
"Heh, lying-win dog (carried by others), rating 3.0."
Will glanced at her, deliberately annoying her.
"Roar!!"
Garchomp exploded at one point.
Angrily waving her arms on the spot, hitting a set of Disorderly Wind Scythe Method (Reference to Tang San's hammer technique).
"Cynthia, look at her~"
Will shrank into Cynthia's arms, barking pitifully.
Then turned his head looking at Garchomp with amusement.
"Garchomp!"
Cynthia stood up abruptly, putting hands on her waist looking at the big mother shark angrily,
"Riolu suffered such heavy injuries, and you are still fierce to him!"
"Roar?!"
Garchomp glared, top of head almost smoking.
Turned her head, too angry to pay attention to them anymore.
"Haha! Seeing you guys so spirited, I'm relieved."
Mabe's voice came from beside.
Will and partners looked at this haggard man.
"Congratulations, Cynthia; becoming the tournament winner at such a young age. At the same age, you are much stronger than me. Your command in battle was excellent. Past me didn't believe there are geniuses in this world; now I believe."
Mabe walked over and extended his hand, shaking hands with Cynthia.
Then squatted down looking at Will:
"Although Riolu is not the strongest Pokémon I have seen, he is the most amazing Pokémon to me. You two might be a match made in heaven. In the next ten years, there shouldn't be any young trainers more outstanding than you appearing."
Although Mabe's condition is very bad now.
But his eyes are still full of praise for Cynthia and Will.
Today's battle really amazed him severely.
Not only Cynthia and Will, but also Scrafty.
He thinks he doesn't deserve to be Scrafty's trainer.
If Wendy could be healthy.
That way she could travel with Scrafty.
Wait until Scrafty woke up.
Is the much-anticipated award ceremony.
Cynthia and Mabe took separate group photos with their partners respectively.
Then two people along with twelve Pokémon, took a big group photo together again.
In front of the camera, Mabe and Scrafty behaved very enthusiastically, seeming to greet Wendy on the other side of the camera.
After the award ceremony.
There was also a simple interview.
Mabe had no intention to participate in the interview, holding the trophy and left hurriedly with Scrafty and others.
Before leaving, also left the location of the hospital where Wendy was. When Cynthia learned Wendy was still in the hospital, only then realized the wrongness of the matter.
But at this moment the reporter had already walked in front of her.
Also no time to give her a chance to ask clearly what happened.
The reporter asked a question:
"May I ask what was that Fire-type move Riolu used last?"
"Um..."
Cynthia faltered, unwilling to say the name "Sacred Fire."
Rainbow-colored flame.
For people in the Johto region, can immediately associate with that highly famous Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh.
But this is just an association after all.
Once the name of this move is said, that confirms Riolu has a relationship with Ho-Oh.
In fact, indeed has.
Riolu said he met Ho-Oh when he went to a thousand years ago, and obtained a "Sacred Ash (Rainbow Wing/Feather)" from the other party that allows him to use Sacred Fire.
Cynthia certainly has no doubt.
But she also knows this matter cannot let others know.
Otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.
So didn't know what to say at this time.
Suddenly.
Cynthia felt her hand grabbed by something furry.
Before she lowered her head.
Will grabbed her running towards the outside of the venue.
"Right, we just run away directly; not necessarily have to answer him. Riolu you are so smart!"
Cynthia's eyes lit up, thinking Will is particularly clever.
But actually.
Will pulling Cynthia to run has nothing to do with the interview.
Just now that reporter's question made him think of it!
The way to save Wendy.
"Riolu, we have already thrown them off; no need to run anymore."
Cynthia was pulled by Will running fiercely.
After running a distance, slightly panting.
"Cynthia, call out Garchomp; we fly to Opelucid City immediately, not a moment to delay; tell you the reason on the way!"
Will turned to look at Cynthia.
"Okay!"
Cynthia didn't hesitate either, calling out Garchomp immediately.
Fortunately Garchomp's temper comes fast and goes fast; not very angry at this time.
Plus Will looked very anxious.
So stomped with both feet, soaring into the sky, carrying Cynthia and Will flying towards the southwest.
On the way.
Will told Cynthia what happened to Wendy.
"Ah?! Then what to do? Is there any place we can help?"
Cynthia's eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
The joy of winning the tournament was washed away instantly.
She and Wendy are already good friends.
Cynthia likes this gentle peer girl very much, also thought about traveling with her in the future.
"If can find those Legendary Pokémon, maybe can solve the malignant cells in Wendy's body..."
Will spoke a sentence, glimmer flashing in his eyes.
Just when talking about "Sacred Ash," he suddenly remembered.
Since conventional means can't solve it.
Isn't there unconventional means.
This world has "Gods" existing.
Wendy's physical condition is easier to solve than Lilligant's psychological illness (Context: Maybe referring to a past character/event).
Psychological illness.
Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are also helpless.
Even if temporarily restoring Lilligant's physical condition to peak, as long as the heart disease is there, it won't take long to wither and die.
But physical diseases can have quite a few solutions.
Ho-Oh's power.
Rumor has it Ho-Oh has the power of resurrection; the Legendary Beasts are resurrected creatures.
But whether true or false needs a question mark.
After all, the number of Legendary Beasts is not small; impossible all resurrected by Ho-Oh.
Mewtwo's psychic power.
Might be able to kill and remove these cells through telekinetic micro-manipulation.
Dialga's time power.
Might be able to accelerate necrosis or reverse disappearance of these malignant cells.
As for others...
Like Celebi and Xerneas.
Enough to choke (Risky/Hard to say).
The abilities of these two might make malignant cells proliferate rapidly.
Best is after malignant cells are cleared, then let them replenish the lost life force for Wendy.
But these are just "maybe."
Maybe can cure.
Maybe can't cure.
And.
The most basic, most important problem is placed here.
Where to find them?
And how to ask them for help?
Legendary Pokémon are not that easy to talk to.
Without some friendship on body.
Even benevolent Legendary Pokémon won't take action to save a person who should have died.
After all, save this one, save that one.
These Legendary Pokémon sooner or later will be annoyed to death by humans.
Will had quite a few divine connections with Legendary Pokémon in the last world, and extremely good ones.
But in this world.
He only knows these few Gods in Unova.
Using fire (Reshiram), using electricity (Zekrom), using ice (Kyurem), singing and dancing (Meloetta), boosting (Victini)...
None professionally compatible.
To Gods of other regions, what he can take out is only his identity as an Aura Guardian.
And.
Mewtwo hasn't been born yet.
Dialga is in the temporal rift.
Best to find is Ho-Oh; most likely to give face to him, the Aura Guardian, is also Ho-Oh.
But Ho-Oh of each version is in a different location.
Might be Mt. Tensei in the Kanto region, might also be Bell Tower in the Johto region...
Even might not find him anywhere.
Because Ho-Oh is a street wanderer, running around the world.
If there is no [Rainbow Wing] existing.
Then wanting to find Ho-Oh in one or two months is almost impossible, let alone inviting Ho-Oh to this place of Unova.
There are plenty of trainers searching for Ho-Oh all their lives.
Plenty of those who didn't find him until the day of old death.
Those who found but couldn't realize their wishes are also not few.
"What should we do?"
Cynthia asked somewhat lost after hearing Will's statement.
Seeking help from Legendary Pokémon...
This difficulty is no less than artificially manufacturing miracles.
"There will be a way; at least there is hope..."
Will narrowed his eyes, feeling he missed something,
"Aren't we going to draw a perfect period for this Unova journey?"
