What responded to him was still a cloud of smoke-like mist. He didn't see where it came from, but he heard a "puff" sound.
You don’t want what you should want, and you want what you shouldn’t want.
Headache.
Moreover, this guy’s design elements are clearly more like the “Peng” in the “Kunpeng”, but his behavior is similar to that of Kun... or more like an alpaca?
Then again, tell it the whereabouts of Lugia and his son.
This guy flew away immediately, right?
So depressing.
Kashiwagi really wanted to help Lugia, but he knew very well that this guy didn't trust him... or humans at all, but he still tried to get the whereabouts of his fellow tribesmen from him.
Can finding people of the same race solve the problem?
Lugia was also very depressed. He had long been disappointed with humans and just wanted to stay as far away from them as possible. If he couldn't bear the torture of darkness and couldn't find an effective solution, why would he ask Kashiwagi for help...
To be honest, it was always wary of humans and had imagined that the other party's reluctance to speak might mean that the fellow was also arrested, and whether it was possible to get caught again if it went over.
Unfortunately, it is really at a dead end at this moment.
Lugia, who had become a combination of contradictions, felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and wished he could find a trench to sink into and never rise again. However, turning dark from time to time would not make him feel comfortable.
How I wish I could have a good sleep.
"Hoopa, I have to trouble you again."
Kashiwagi had no choice but to ask Hoopa again to open a passage to the front door of Dr. Muyin's house.
Because he was not familiar with this person, he couldn't just rush into his bedroom and pull him up. Besides, the man had a wife, and it would be impolite to barge in.
It'll take a little effort.
"You...wait a minute."
He spoke softly to Lugia, hesitated for a moment, and sent out Nurse Happiny to help persuade him, then walked into the passage.
Hoopa followed, of course.
Outside the channel.
A crescent-white research institute came into view, and there were lights on inside.
"Is this Olei?" It looked around curiously, and seeing the green trees all around, it couldn't help but ask, "But there are so many trees here. Didn't Xiaobai say that Olei is a desert?"
"Because this is the northwest, it only occupies one-fifth of the Orei area, or even less."
Kashiwagi pointed to the shadow of the mountain in the east and said, "See that bald volcano? Most of the Olei region is as bald as that."
Hoopa squinted his eyes and looked at it. He wanted to ask something else, but when he turned around, he saw Kashiwagi pressing the doorbell of the research institute.
zizi——
Under the silent night sky, the doorbell sounded a little harsh.
Hoopa waited for two seconds and couldn't help but say, "Let's just go in."
"I rang the doorbell not because I couldn't get in, but to alert them that someone was coming." He responded in a low voice.
Then with a creak, the iron gate opened inward.
A small door at the end opened, and a man in a white coat leaned half of his body out, with sleepy eyes and adjusted his glasses.
"……Who are you?"
"I was introduced by Shan Min from Huangtie Town. If you have any urgent matters, please find Dr. Muyin." Baimu knew that the other party might not know him, but he definitely knew Shan Min, so he borrowed his name.
The man opened the door completely upon hearing this and said, "Oh, so, I'll go call the doctor, you come in and sit down first."
Kashiwagi walked in, looked around and felt that it was no different from an ordinary office, so he found an empty seat on the sofa piled with documents and sat down.
The naughty ghost Hoopa flipped through the pages, but found that he couldn't understand anything. He drew circles on the corners of the pages like Ikkiu, as if he was thinking hard about something. Suddenly he asked, "Are there any donuts here?"
"There is a high probability that there is no such thing."
"Hoopa wants donuts~"
"Be patient, I'll take you to buy it when this is over."
"Really?" Hoopa's eyes lit up, and he said frustratedly, "Mayali won't agree. She only allows me to eat five donuts a day. I've already eaten them all today."
Kashiwagi: "..."
Aren’t phantom beasts supposed to be immune to obesity or diabetes?
"We'll buy it quietly when the time comes." He said soothingly, and took out a Poké Cube from his pocket and handed it to her, "Eat this first to last."
Poké cubes are much healthier than high-fat donuts.
But Hoopa had worked so hard to help him, so one donut, even a hundred donuts, were nothing.
"Woooooooo..."
Hoopa covered his cheeks and chewed the Poké Cube, "This one is okay."
While talking.
Dr. Muyin, with messy hair, came in a hurry.
"It's you! Kashiwagi-kun! Have you returned to the Ole area?" He was taken aback when he saw Kashiwagi and Hoopa. They were not familiar with each other, but they had met once when they were in Huangtie Town. It has been advertised, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know it.
As for Hoopa… there were many Pokémon in the world that he had never seen, so it was no surprise.
"Dr. Muyin, I met Lugia."
Kashiwagi paused and asked directly, "But it turns dark from time to time. Why is that? Didn't you and the dragon man purify it completely in the beginning?"
Dr. Muyin did not reply immediately, but frowned and asked as if to confirm: "You said Lugia will turn dark again now?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"...The thing I was most worried about has finally happened." He sighed, took a cup of coffee from his assistant, and drank it in small sips to refresh himself.
Being woken up in the middle of the night, he needed to regain his composure first.
Kashiwagi also had a share, but he wasn't interested and simply gave it to the curious Hoopa.
Hu Pa took a sip and was immediately so bitter that he stuck out his tongue.
"Hoopa hates this."
"Add Moo Moo Milk and Shiro and you'll like it." Kashiwagi reminded softly. When he looked at Dr. Muyin again, the latter was already fully awake.
He recalled: "At that time, I worked together with the dragon man to barely restrain the dark Lugia in the purification room, but the dark power in it was stronger than I thought... I think this is my problem."
"Your question?" Kashiwagi didn't understand.
Dr. Muyin nodded and said, "Before I had built the purification chamber completely, the Shadow Team found out and kidnapped me. At that time, Alina, the head of the Dark Transformation Department, learned a lot about purification from me, and improved the Dark Lugia's immunity to purification, trying to create the ultimate dark Pokémon..."
When he said that, Kashiwagi instantly recalled the plot of the game Arena 2. He remembered that the Dragon Man and the Shadow Team became enemies, starting with his father being kidnapped.
It seems that Dr. Mu Yin was unable to keep his mouth shut.
It is understandable that not everyone can withstand the death penalty of a bad guy, not to mention that they might have something like a confession agent.
Unfortunately, Lugia was given a dark patch because of this...
It's too awful.
However, the purification room in the game was clearly effective in completely purifying Lugia, so why did a flaw appear after the worldview changed?
Kashiwagi couldn't understand it, just like he couldn't understand why the Shadow Team was able to revive three times.
Dr. Mu Yin continued, "Later, Lugia turned dark more than ten times in the purification room. After each purification, the time it took to turn dark was extended. The last time, Lugia didn't turn dark for two months. We all thought it was a success."
He sighed and said, "Lugia has had enough of being trapped in a small place. At the suggestion of my daughter Mana, we chose to set Lugia free. Unexpectedly, we failed to completely cure its dark transformation."
Because there is no cure, the frequent bouts of darkness have caused Lugia to have less and less trust in humans, and he can no longer trust human technology.
No wonder Lugia didn't feel cold at all when he heard about Professor Twilight.
This is like a patient who hears others bragging about how great a doctor is who has tried to cure him for a long time but failed. He will not slander the doctor, but he will not trust the doctor anymore either.
"Now? Do you have a solution now?" Kashiwagi hurriedly asked: "For example, does the purification spray have any effect on Rogia?"
"……Hard to say."
Dr. Muyin shook his head. "The advantage of the purification spray is that it is convenient and quick. There is no need to throw dark Pokémon into the purification room one by one, but it does not enhance the purification effect much."
"so what should I do now?"
"The only way is for Lugia to return to the purification room and let me do more research on its condition... It looks like that won't work." Dr. Muyin was not too surprised to see the trembling corners of Kashiwagi's mouth.
Pokémon are not human dolls, they have their own emotions and their trust in humans has its limits.
Even Dr. Muin, who is considered the number one researcher on dark transformation technology, cannot understand the pain that the dark Pokémon suffer. It cannot be described in words.
He could only try to empathize, but he couldn't feel the same way.
Everyone wants to help the tortured Lugia, whether they have some kind of selfish motives or want to atone for the humans who hurt it. When Lugia itself is unwilling to accept human help, they have only two choices -
1. Force treatment in the name of thinking it is good.
Second, respect its idea and give up treatment.
There is no doubt that Dr. Muyin and Kashiwagi can only choose the latter.
Because they see Lugia as an independent individual, not a puppet that can be moved at will. But having to watch it suffer from the dark transformation out of respect for it is also a torture for both of them.
"Can you give me a bottle of purifying spray to try first?" asked Kashiwagi.
"of course."
Dr. Muyin nodded, and after a few seconds he said, "If possible, can you give me a chance to meet it? I know it may not be willing to see me, but maybe I can think of a way."
Kashiwagi had no objection, but he just wanted to give Lugia a heads-up in advance.
Subsequently.
Through the ring of the tool man Hupa, he returned to the overseas island first. Lugia was still lying dead beside the mountain stream, while Happiny raised his head and sang a song, like a lullaby.
"Woo..."
Lugia slightly opened its eyes and sprayed out a cloud of white mist. It was no longer in a hurry. It had survived for so many years, so why would it be just a short while longer?
"I brought the purification spray, and Dr. Muyin wants to see you, what do you think..."
