If Little Lugia were to faint at this moment, it would lack the conscious ability to absorb the Dark Attribute's power as its own attribute. In this way, Little Lugia would not only be missing a core attribute, but the Dark Attribute within its body would also become homeless, ultimately rampaging inside her.
"Hang in there, Lugia, it's almost over. Absorb that power within you, transform it into your own strength!"
Encouraged by Ash's voice, Little Lugia widened her eyes, struggling to endure the unbearable pain inside her body, and absorbed the rampaging power within her.
The missing core within her was complemented, and the bluish-white hues remaining on Little Lugia's exterior finally transformed into pitch black and dark blue!
Several seconds later, Lugia's internal power gradually stabilized. This indicated that Little Lugia had already transformed the power into her own attribute, although there still lingered a hint of a terrifying destructive force within that power.
This death-laden destructive power cannot be absorbed by Lugia, which is the exclusive divine power of Yveltal that Friend of the Divine Beasts Ash mentioned, the Power of Death.
Ash looked at Venusaur beside him, who nodded, being prepared for a long time. Then, with a roar, countless green plants rose around Ash and Little Lugia, eventually wrapping them tightly inside.
The Frenzy Plant formed a protective barrier-like appearance, with countless thorns on the outside, making one feel intimidated.
Misty subconsciously clenched her hands to her chest, a look of concern showing on her face: "Is it really okay? That's the Frenzy Plant!"
Ash had mentioned yesterday that they would need Venusaur's help in restoring Little Lugia, but he never said it would involve Venusaur using Frenzy Plant on him!
Although it didn't directly hit Ash, being wrapped up like this didn't look very reassuring either.
Cynthia's expression was also somewhat solemn, but she shook her head and said, "Trust Ash, he can do it."
Even though she had interacted with Ash for a short time, she genuinely believed from the bottom of her heart that Ash is a young man capable of creating miracles; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to bring Little Lugia to Ash for treatment.
As time ticked by, thirty minutes passed, and even Cynthia couldn't help but show a trace of concern. They wanted to ask Venusaur, but it was impossible because Venusaur also looked exhausted, having no spare energy to answer them.
"Venosaur..." After several more seconds, Venusaur let out a weak breath, its large body directly collapsing to the ground, with the vines binding Ash and Little Lugia scattering all over.
Misty and the others didn't have time to care about Venusaur, but instead collectively directed their gaze towards the center of the Frenzy Plant, seeing Ash standing there holding the sleeping Little Lugia.
Upon seeing Misty and the others, he flashed a brilliant smile: "It's a success."
"It succeeded? Yay!!" Hearing these three words, Misty leapt up in joy, and Brock also breathed a sigh of relief, while a smile of satisfaction appeared on Cynthia's calm face.
Coming to Ash was indeed not a mistake; he solved what the entire league couldn't. The future should belong to this young man.
...
At Ash's residence, Brock poured a cup of tea for Ash and the others sitting on the sofa in the living room, then plopped down beside Ash.
At the moment, Little Lugia was asleep on the table, looking as if the pain it had previously suffered had completely disappeared, although its body remained black, seemingly unable to revert back.
"How is Little Lugia's condition now? Has its physical condition been restored? Is it unable to return to its original color?" Cynthia asked curiously, looking at Little Lugia.
"Yes, Little Lugia's attribute has changed to Dark Attribute and Flying Attribute, its Psychic Attribute has disappeared, and Venusaur and I used the power of life to dispel the Power of Death carried by the Dark Attribute inside Little Lugia. Now, Little Lugia's condition is fully restored, but changing back to its original appearance would be difficult..."
"The Power of Death... Yveltal?" Ash just mentioned the Power of Death, and Cynthia, who was knowledgeable, immediately thought of that being—Yveltal!
Apart from Yveltal, there are basically no other Pokemon possessing the Power of Death in the world.
She also never imagined that Lugia's condition was related to Yveltal; does this mean Team Galactic's reach has extended to Kalos?
Or have Team Galactic and Team Flare already formed an alliance?
Whatever the case, it's all very troubling. Just thinking about these antagonist organizations is enough to give Cynthia a headache. Are they gathering together because of Team Rocket? Or is it due to Team Rocket's demise making all those antagonist organizations feel endangered, prompting them all into action?
Whatever the reason, it's an undeniable fact that these Elite Champions have significantly increased workloads. If possible, Cynthia would really like to get all those guys together and solve them all at once!
