Chapter 16: CHAPTER-16
Red rock isle:
Noah walked through the dense forest as he was deep in contemplation.
He changed his outfit into a plain white t-shirt and black baggy pants with white shoes.
He still hadn't learnt his lesson from white shoes.
The rainbow wing earring was dangling on his right ear as it shone with light when it came in contact with sunlight.
All his Pokemon except lapras and magikarp were outside their pokeballs.
Turtwig and larvesta nestled on top of mareep's wool as he hopped around.
'I need to shear him.' Noah could see that mareep's fluffy wool was making it uncomfortable.
Golbat was flying alongside him while lampent and combusken were ahead of them.
Lampent as usual spun around.
'Now onto more important matters.' His expression turned serious.
'I survived against zapdos because he stopped attacking or he thought I was dead.'
'If it's the latter then there's not much to think about but if it's the former, what made him stop?'
'And only zapdos was here, moltres and articuno were no where to be seen.'
'Let's leave it there then.' He could not remember much and he did not have clues to work on.
Noah then took out a box with intricate carvings of Ho-oh and lugia on it and opened the box.
The silver wing was shining with a dim silvery light and as he got closer to the sea it started to brighten up.
'Ash and his friends are present on the whirl islands so there's a chance of them meeting lugia.' Noah watched the whole six days of whirl cup but did not participate.
He was trying to find a chance to meet them and temporarily join for the protagonist buff but he was unable to find them after the whirl cup.
'But I found some legend regarding lugia and some people said I should head towards ogi isle.'
Noah was not sure about their advice but he still decided to visit ogi isle.
'For now I should cross this forest and I will reach the shore and from there I can head towards ogi isle.' Noah had bought a map from scarlet city before he left.
'And I should be careful about the whirlpools but that won't be much of a problem.'
It will.
Finally Noah saw that the vast expanse of trees stopping a few feets infront of him and he could see the ocean on the distance.
"Ok guys back to the pokeballs." He said and recalled back all his Pokemon.
He left the forest and stepped onto the beach.
The beach was filled with Pokemon like krabby, seel, horsea etc.
They seems to be a bit surprised upon seeing a human.
Noah walked through them while trying not to step on them.
The Pokemons on the beach did not care much about Noah and went back to what they were doing.
Noah reached the shoreline and released lapras into the water.
Lapras and magikarp were in perfect condition after they were healed by nurse Joy.
Right now he only released lapras.
He got ontop of lapras' shell and said: "Go forward."
He wanted to meet lugia and leave the whirl islands as fast as he can.
"Laa..." Lapras said something that Noah couldn't understand.
She was clearly hesitating and after seeing her trainer not understanding what she just said she sighed and took off from the water and rushed towards their destination.
Some worry could be seen on her face and she did not look towards the sky.
She also trembled upon seeing the reflection in the water.
'Is she traumatized by zapdos?' Noah started get a bit worried about this causing some mishaps on the way to ogi isle.
'But the ferry has already left and I don't have any other way to reach ogi isle.' He decided to take a risk and continue his journey.
A very bad decision.
As he was fiddling with his earring he heard lapras' warning call and looked ahead.
There he saw a huge white Pokemon with finger-like wings flying towards him.
He also felt something from his bag vibrating.
The Pokemon approached and stared at him.
It seems to be mostly focused on his earring.
'Dont tell me he is going to attack me over a earring right?' Noah hands went towards the pocket where he keeps his repels in his bag .
He was really desperate.
The Pokemon did not waste time and flew down towards him and snatched him by the collar and flew up.
"Wait! Wait! Let me recall my Pokemon!" He started struggling and kicking.
Lugia feeling annoyed stopped flying upwards and lowered him to the sea.
Noah quickly recalled lapras back and got on top of lugia.
'It has only been a month or something since I transmigrated and I have already met four legendaries.' Noah once skimmed through him pokegear and found celebi in the background of the photo he took at the shrine.
Lugia then instantly took off and Noah had to hold on for dear life.
__________________________________________
A few minutes later.
Noah looked down at the shore that seems to be their destination as he inspected it.
Right now he could see a Pokemon battle between the main characters and some team rocket grunts.
And a baby lugia was trapped inside a cage.
'I thought there was only one.' Noah was confused about the anime's plot.
'And Lugia wants to get back it's child and it wants my help.' He sighed and stood up from lugia's back.
Even though the Pokemon the grunts had were strong it was not match for his team.
The man controlling the huge chunk of metal which Noah guessed as the team rocket's base was stunned upon seeing a trainer with the Pokemon X.
But instantly Noah expression darkened and he started to lose his balance as lugia frantically tried to approach the little one.
Noah immediately sat down and held onto lugia.
The battle on the shore was intense as the main characters tried to stop lugia but were obstructed by team rocket.
Team rocket even took out some funny looking headbands which increased their power.
The main characters naturally saw Noah and called out to him but Noah was currently in another predicament as to how not to fall off from lugia.
They felt frustrated and Pikachu even tried to shoot Noah down with a thunderbolt.
And it suprisingly hit but Noah was protected by lugia.
Even if it hit him he would tank it because zapdos' thunder was more powerful.
Lugia finally found a chance and instantly dived towards the ground to save the little lugia.
Meanwhile, Noah was chilling on top of lugia with no worry on his face as he held on tightly.
He already knew it was a trap and he was pretty sure lugia also knew it but lugia was too strong to care.
'I mean it's a lugia what can they do against it?
They may have caught the baby because it's immature but this one is fully grown.' Noah reasoned in his mind and ignored the bad feeling in his heart.
A big mistake.
He even saw lugia sent out an aeroblast towards the main characters but they survived.
'Lugia must have tried to scare them of with a weak one.' This time Noah felt a bit anxious.
He thought about it for a moment and recalled everything lugia had done upto now.
'It lost its child to some rocket grunts.'
'Lugia is diving headfirst into the trap.'
'It is ignoring the warnings from our protagonists.'
'The aeroblast from it was very weak.'
As he thought of this his expression became more and more anxious as he came to a conclusion.
Lugia is weak and stupid.
'Nah there's no way the anime butchered him like this!' Noah stood up and tried to jump off from lugia.
But he was very late.
Right now Lugia was trapped in a cage made from some kind of energy and the huge metal chunk of a base was retrieving them.
He was unable to escape.
'Well I guess I have to save the day.' He layed down on Lugia's back and accepted his fate as he helplessly gazed up at the sky.
