Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

As the saying goes, it is better to open up than to block. Last time, I had no choice but to seal it. This time, I hope to reach a mutual understanding with the two gods through dialogue.

From a practical point of view, it is certainly difficult, but not impossible. The biggest problem at the moment is how to completely suppress the two gods, which requires calling upon the power of the God of the Sky once again.

“The God of the Sky is outside the atmosphere. Even though humans can now launch satellites into space, they are still quite unfamiliar with the environment outside the atmosphere. If we want to convey our will to the God of the Sky, we can only rely on the power of the Prayer Star Jirachi for the time being…”

It cannot be said that technology has not advanced, but it seems that it has not yet advanced to the point of being able to communicate with gods. After a long time, we still have to use traditional methods. However, the problem with traditional methods is that Jirachi wakes up once every thousand years and stays awake for seven days each time. In other words, it is a power that can only be used at a specific time.

“Now is that millennium. The seal of the Twin Gods cannot last beyond the next millennium. So, this is the last chance in every sense… Therefore, I hope to get your help. If I want to calm the anger of the Twin Gods, I must have someone who can communicate with them…”

To do this, they would need to resort to the rituals passed down from ancient times to communicate with the gods, and currently the legitimate successors of this ritual are the shrine master and his wife, and Furong, the shrine maiden.

“Ah, so the Kagura dance that I’ve been learning since I was a child has such a complicated use? I thought it was just for fun…”

Furong couldn’t help but stick out her tongue. The shrine master and his wife held their foreheads helplessly, “…That’s a sacrificial dance to communicate with the gods, so forget it.”

There really isn’t much to say, because since the two gods have been sealed, the biggest use of this Kagura dance so far is really just for fun.

“Then I want to know what the divine body represents…”

Lowe took out the navigator. Xiaoyao had just taken a picture of the specific appearance of the divine body, which was two spherical gems, one red and one blue. There were crystalline facets on the surface, so it was not a regular circle, but the overall structure was that of a gem.

Then, naturally, a symbol appeared inside each of the two gems.

Although it might seem like some mysterious special mark, the two symbols are actually quite easy to distinguish. The symbol in the red orb is “Ω”, and the symbol in the blue orb is “α”…

Omega and Alpha are two Greek letters representing “end” and “origin” respectively. The god of the ocean corresponds to “origin”, which is naturally easy to explain. The ocean is the mother of all things, and the source of all life is born from the ocean.

The earth represents the “end”, which is naturally easy to explain. From this point of view, there must be a third force between the origin and the end that can connect them.

This is the God of the Sky…

Lowe took out the meteorite that was kept with him. There was a very eye-catching symbol on it…

…“∞”

Origin and end, and what connects them is “infinity”, or “reincarnation”…

This explains very well that, just as Lowe thought, the infinite flow from beginning to end is the perfect interpretation of the principle of balance!

“That’s called ‘balance’!”

Chapter 235 Two Candidates

In short, at present, we need to combine the power of the three gods to form a balanced situation. As for the specific operation process, we need to use the relevant rituals of the Meteor People and the inheritance of the orbs at the same time.

“Regarding this…” The old God Lord stood up and left. Not long after, he returned with a few ancient books. “…There are indeed some relevant records about the divine body.”

There is no doubt that these ancient books have a history of thousands of years, and they are mysteriously well preserved. One reason is of course that they have been kept and passed down in the local shrines. Since the inheritance has not been broken, the ancient books have naturally been passed down as heirlooms.

Secondly, the ancient books themselves seem to be made of some very special materials, so even without any safety measures, there will be no problem if you read them with your bare hands.

The book not only contains text, but also corresponding pictures, and the colors and brushstrokes are vivid, and it still looks brand new.

This reminded Lowe of the murals in the caves of the Wudou Town ruins. It was probably produced by the same group of people, using the same techniques, so it was no wonder.

In short, this ancient book does record information related to the precious jade. According to the above statement, it is a prop for communicating with gods, combining “human will” with “the power of gods”, and leading to new miracles.

“We naturally don’t know the specific situation.”

After all, this thing has never actually been used by the current shrine master, so for more than a thousand years, it has been kept in the shrine.

But Lowe knew that this thing needed a corresponding trainer. It was equivalent to a large-sized mega stone, which was actually a connection used to communicate the will of the two gods.

“If that’s all, then it would be like having two trainers to coordinate the power of the gem to communicate with the gods!”

Originally, Furong was the most suitable candidate. She was strong enough. After all, she was the ghost king and a strong person. But she was also a shrine maiden. When the plan started, she had to be responsible for presiding over the ceremony…

The same goes for the shrine owner and his wife. Moreover, the two elderly people are already old, and this kind of dangerous work is indeed not suitable for them.

Then, everyone’s attention was focused on Lowe, and Lowe quickly took out the meteorite in his hand.

“As for me, I have to communicate with the God of the Sky through the meteorite. I probably don’t have the extra energy to use the gems. Besides, there are two gems, so at least two people are needed…”

Anyway, Lowe alone is definitely not enough. As for Shijiana, like Furong, she also needs to be responsible for the Meteor People’s part of the ritual to awaken Jirachi at the beginning of the operation.

With all the calculations, we are missing at least two strong enough trainers. As for the other gym leaders, there is absolutely no problem with their strength, but apart from strength, there are other keys.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the person holding the gem has a strong will and will not be backfired by the power of the two gods carried by the gem. On the other hand…

…The trainer who controls the two orbs and the trainer who is responsible for coordinating and controlling the meteorite must have sufficient tacit understanding, because the key is to achieve a “balance”, so the tacit understanding between each other is very important.

In this way, the scope was narrowed down several times, and Lowe happened to have a suitable candidate…

“Which one?”

Furong was also very curious about who Lowe thought was the right person. Lowe calmly pointed at his navigator and stopped at the picture of him communicating with Xiaoyao just now.

“Xiaoyao? Well, it does look like a good match~”

After all, Xiaoyao is Lowe’s childhood sweetheart, and she does have a considerable degree of tacit understanding with Lowe. Moreover, in terms of strength, she is firmly in the first tier among the new generation of trainers so far.

At least if Xiaoyao takes this position, everyone else thinks it is quite suitable. After all, she has inherited the power of the Ultimate Secret and Mega Evolution…

But this is just one of them, there is still one candidate missing. In response, Lowe smiled and said.

“Let Xiaoyao control the Earth God’s Orb. She happens to have mastered the ultimate mystery of fire and has some experience with it. As for the Ocean God’s Jade, isn’t there a suitable candidate right in front of us?”

Lowe turned his gaze to Naqi, and she immediately came back to her senses.

“Ah, that man?”

“Yes, I think if it is that gentleman, he will definitely be able to do the job~”

Indeed, although in Naqi’s heart, he was indeed a man whose words and deeds revealed frivolity on weekdays, but at least when it came to important matters, this man had never been vague.

If not for this, he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by the Alliance repeatedly. All in all, he is one of the most trusted people in the Alliance in the Hoenn region at this moment.

But here comes the problem, because just now Lowe said that the best candidate would be one who could have a tacit understanding with him. In this regard, the man’s strength is absolutely sufficient, but he has never had any direct contact with Lowe, so where does the tacit understanding come from?

“As for this, I think that tacit understanding does not necessarily require long-term companionship. If the temperament and personality are similar, tacit understanding will naturally emerge~”

This is indeed true, so does it mean that Lowe believes that he and the man are quite compatible in terms of character and temperament?

As for this point, Naqi actually couldn’t find any fault with it for a moment, and could even say that it was quite convincing.

Because the man was indeed quite fond of Lowe from the beginning, and had expressed on many occasions before that he hoped to exchange ideas about Pokémon with Lowe.

Not only in Pokémon battles, but also in Pokémon Contests, the opponent is also very interested.

After confirming this, the basic tactics here were finalized.

“Then, let Xi Jiana continue to trick Shui Wutong and let him be responsible for unlocking the seal and releasing the two gods. In this way, at least we can control the progress of unlocking the two gods. Then, in conjunction with the two gods breaking the seal, we will begin to use the ritual to call on the God of the Sky. I will use meteorites to communicate with the God of the Sky, and Xiaoyao and the others will use the Divine Body Orb to communicate with the two gods…”

In short, after the two gods are liberated, they will inevitably go into a frenzy and completely unable to listen to any communication. The two gods must first be suppressed by the power of the God of the Sky before further dialogue will be possible.

“Well, I guess we should wait until the personnel are finalized. Before that, let’s contact Mr. Mikoli first~”

Chapter 236 The Plan Begins

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is naturally to contact the busy man Mikoli.

In order to deal with the frequent appearances of Ultra Beasts in various places, Mikoli and Daigo had to travel around the Hoenn region, which was quite exhausting.

Daigo is the champion after all, and there is no work that requires him to stay for a long time on weekdays. But it is different for Mikoli. He is a gym master after all, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave his gym for a long time.

Therefore, he had to take care of the work at the gym while dealing with the Ultra Beasts, so he was naturally very busy on both sides. Fortunately, the Ultra Beasts have been quiet for quite a while recently, which gave Mikoli some chance to catch his breath and rest.

But it was obvious that as a girlfriend, Naqi had no psychological burden at all about asking her boyfriend to do real work. She calmly took out her navigator and dialed the number.

After all, it was a call from his girlfriend herself, and the speed at which the call was connected was amazing. Almost as soon as the phone was connected, a bell rang, and the man immediately answered the phone without saying a word.

“…Yes, although I have something important to deal with right now, I can put all this aside for a while. Do you have any advice for me? My dear goddess~”

“…Do you have something urgent to do?”

Naqi was slightly stunned after hearing this. Although she didn’t mind ordering the other party around, if the other party really had something important to do, Naqi was definitely not the kind of girlfriend who would cause trouble. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed.

“Then I won’t bother you for now. Just finish the important things at hand…”

“Of course it’s important, to watch the beautiful bodies of my beloved Pokémon cleanse my soul, but it doesn’t matter if it lasts a few minutes~”

“…”

At that moment, Naqi came to a conclusion that she actually believed for a moment that this man would say something serious. It turned out to be because she was too tired recently.

“…Lord Lowe has made the final plan and hopes you can help.”

As soon as these words came out, Mikoli on the other side immediately put away his frivolous tone, “I see, so it’s about the matter of the two gods? That really can’t be neglected. Well, for the sake of solemnity, I will come in person…”

As she said this, Naqi turned over the navigator in her hand and showed the picture inside to Lowe.

“first meet……”

Their eyes met and they spoke in unison. Even so, the tacit understanding between them at that moment was as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

“Haha, it’s obviously our first meeting, but I don’t feel any strangeness at all~”

“Of course. Along the way, I have been hearing about Lowe’s feats. It was truly an amazing journey, especially the father-son duel with Lord Qianli. He was able to defeat the serious Lord Qianli. His strength is truly admirable~”

Michaeli had been keeping an eye on Lowe’s actions, which Lowe had known for a long time. It would be better to say that basically several gym leaders had paid more or less attention to this promising newcomer…

Moreover, Mikoli is Daigo’s best friend and Rukia’s master. Based on this, we can know a lot about Lowe just from the mouths of these two people.

“So, can you give me a brief overview of what you need from me?”

Lowe was naturally very clear and gave a brief account of his plan. Michaeli also listened carefully from beginning to end.

“I see. Someone needs to communicate with the two gods through the gem, so as to convey our will not to fight to each other? This is really a heavy responsibility…”

After all, if one of these is not done well, it may anger the two gods. One must have a strong personal will to successfully communicate with the two gods.

Among them, Xiaoyao is a “strong rival” after all, and is herself a template of half the protagonist. Her personal will, talent and ability are unquestionable.

Lowe had a complete template for the protagonist. In other words, only the last candidate needed to be considered. In the end, Lowe decided on Michaeli because he believed that this man absolutely had a strong desire for peace.

In other words, any trainer who truly loves Pokémon would not want to see the power of the two gods get out of control and cause devastation.

So, although he felt a great sense of responsibility, Mikoli did not refuse at all. After a few seconds of silence, he nodded decisively and readily in answer.

“No problem, that’s just what I wanted…”

If he could contribute to the peace of the Hoenn region with his own strength, that would be exactly what this man wanted.

“Very good. Xiaoyao will bring the jade to Mr. Mikoli later. We will discuss the details of the plan later…”
