"I will definitely try my best!" Eddie said with a serious expression.
While Lugia was still conscious, Articuno broke the ice that was freezing his spirit body, allowing his spirit body to return to its original form.
Articuno warned Eddie, "Lugia won't be able to stay awake for long. You must work with it to get Yveltal's tail feather out as soon as possible!"
Eddie nodded, quickly walked to the black egg, and put his hand on the black egg.
The moment Eddie touched the black egg, countless scarlet energies began to pounce towards him with their fangs and claws.
However, the moment the scarlet energy touched him, the golden finger energy in his body immediately seemed to boil, and it launched a frantic counterattack against the scarlet energy, quickly repelling the invading scarlet energy.
These scarlet energies seemed to have consciousness. After being suppressed by the golden finger energy, they actually began to fear the golden finger energy. They kept probing Eddie's body but no longer dared to rashly drill into his body.
Eddie controlled the golden finger energy and entered the black egg. The next second his consciousness was drained away, and he seemed to have come to a starry sky with a huge Lugia floating in the center.
However, this Lugia was completely black, and looked evil and ominous.
"You're here!"
The dark Lugia suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Eddie.
"Yes... yes." Eddie couldn't stand the powerful pressure from Lugia.
"Thank you for your help this time!" Lugia said calmly, "If you can't succeed, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if I hurt you!"
After regaining his sanity, Lugia is a very kind Pokémon.
The next second, Eddie was next to Lugia. At this moment, Eddie was not in a physical state but in a spiritual state like Lugia. His spiritual body entered Lugia's body along with his golden finger energy.
Eddie himself didn't know why this happened. He was just acting on instinct.
Suddenly, milky white bands of light emerged from Eddie's spirit body, and he controlled the light bands to invade Lugia's body.
The light band formed by the golden finger energy kept moving in Lugia's body and soon found the Yveltal tail feather in Lugia's heart.
Yveltal's tail feather was clearly stuck in Lugia's heart. No wonder it had such a big impact on Lugia!
Yveltal's tail feather is striped in shape and completely black, emitting a terrifying glow, while a steady stream of scarlet energy constantly emerges from it.
Is that it?
Eddie carefully controlled the light band formed by the energy of his golden finger to move forward. The moment the light band touched, countless scarlet energies, like boiling oil meeting boiling water, violently churned and launched an attack on Eddie's golden finger energy.
But Eddie's golden finger energy is not easy to deal with. The moment the scarlet energy attacked, they raised their "little whips" and lashed it hard, and the scarlet energy subconsciously shrank back.
From this point of view, Eddie's golden finger does have the effect of suppressing the scarlet energy. It's a pity that it is too weak at present. After a brief burst, it quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Even though Yveltal's tail feather has been separated from its body, it essentially comes from a powerful god. With Eddie's current strength, he is indeed unable to shake the power of a god.
However, at this moment, strips of blue-purple light suddenly fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they tightly bound Yveltal's tail feather at a speed that was jaw-dropping.
This is Lugia taking action!
Lugia was able to grab Yveltal's tail feather so smoothly thanks to Eddie who attracted the attention of all the scarlet energy.
Although the scarlet energy seems to be conscious, it is actually just pure instinct. When facing the existence of Eddie's golden finger that can suppress it, even if the opponent is not strong enough, it will still be instinctively attracted to the opponent.
Scarlet Energy never expected that someone would launch a sneak attack at this time, so it turned around and went back to deal with those blue and purple light bands.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Eddie controlled the light band transformed from the energy of his golden finger and bound Yveltal's tail feather with lightning speed.
Eddie's golden finger energy is not strong enough now, but it does have a suppressing effect on Yveltal's power. The moment the tail feather was tied, the scarlet energy coming out of it was greatly reduced.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lugia began to pull the tail feather out with his strength, and Eddie quickly controlled the energy of the golden finger to help. The two worked together.
The scarlet energy certainly didn't want to let Lugia and Eddie succeed, so it began to frantically attack the two light bands that bound the tail feather.
But both Eddie and Lugia turned a blind eye to the attacks of the scarlet energy. They were only focused on pulling the tail feather out.
Finally, the tail feather rooted in Lugia's heart began to loosen and shook gently twice.
This made the scarlet energies anxious, and they began to attack the two light bands more frantically. Under such fierce siege, the two light bands gradually became thinner and thinner.
But Eddie and Lugia still turned a blind eye to this; they just focused on pulling the tail feather out.
Little by little, little by little...Finally, the tail feather was pulled out from Lugia's heart by Eddie and Lugia together. At that moment, the scarlet energy seemed to become much weaker.
At the same time, the two colors of light bands had become extremely thin at this time, especially Eddie's golden finger energy, which seemed like it would break at any time.
"Lugia, let's continue!" Eddie shouted loudly.
Pulling the tail feather out of Lugia's heart is only the first step. Only when it is completely expelled from Lugia's body can it be considered a success!
The two colored light bands began to exert force again, and finally, at the moment when Eddie's golden finger energy light band broke, Yveltal's tail feather was completely pulled out.
Success...success!
"Human, thank you for your help!" At this time, Lugia's voice sounded again, but its voice was full of fatigue.
"No...you're welcome?" Eddie replied stutteringly.
"Hehe..." Lugia suddenly chuckled, "I'm about to fall into a deep sleep to repair my body. Before I leave, I'll give you a gift."
After saying this, a bright purple light suddenly lit up in Lugia's eyes, and a purple mist was controlled by it and blew onto Eddie's spirit body.
"This...what is this?" Eddie was confused.
"You'll know in the future." Lugia's voice seemed to become more tired. "Well, it's time for you to get out."
As Lugia finished speaking, Eddie's spirit body's eyes went dark before disappearing into the starry sky.
Articuno, who had been watching the situation from outside, only saw the scarlet energy on the black egg rolling and boiling, and the rising black mist almost submerged Eddie.
Because the scarlet energy was so crazy, Articuno had to retreat.
At this time, it was very conflicted, worried about whether Eddie could hold on under such circumstances, and hesitated whether it should take Eddie away from here.
However, at this moment, Articuno saw a pitch-black strip-like object slowly pulling out of the black egg.
Yveltal's tail feather!
Articuno was ecstatic; Eddie succeeded!
The moment Yveltal's tail feather was pulled out of the black egg, Eddie suddenly opened his eyes, and the black mist and scarlet energy that were wrapped around him began to gradually disappear.
Bang!
At the same time, after a crisp sound, the black egg turned into a petite Lugia, which was small and very cute.
However, although Lugia is small in size, the power he exudes is extremely terrifying.
After Yveltal's tail feather was plucked out, Lugia was still completely black, which meant that there was still a large amount of residual scarlet energy in its body. It had to rely on itself to clear it out bit by bit, and Eddie could not help.
"Huh~"
Eddie sat down on the ground, feeling that he had no strength left in his body. His eyelids felt as heavy as if a huge stone was hanging on them.
At the same time, he was wondering what Lugia had done to him before they parted. He looked left and right but couldn't find anything different about himself.
At this time, Yveltal's tail feather seemed unwilling to be expelled. After falling to the ground, black mist rose from it again, and even formed a smaller version of Yveltal, roaring and pouncing on Eddie.
Articuno was quick-eyed and quick-handed and blew a ray of cold air over, freezing it instantly. This source of all evil was finally unable to cause any trouble.
At the moment when Yveltal's tail feather was frozen, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened at the bottom of a lake in the middle of an unknown forest and let out an angry roar.
There used to be many Pokémon living around the lake, but frightened by the roar, they fled in terror and never dared to approach the lake again.
After venting for a while, the Scarlet Eye closed again, and the surroundings around the lake returned to calm, as calm as if nothing had happened.
After settling Lugia, who had not yet awakened, Articuno let Eddie rest for a while, and it would watch over him.
Upon hearing this, Eddie fell asleep without thinking. He was really too tired.
It was seven or eight hours later when he woke up again.
After waking up, Eddie ate a few fruits and was revived to full health. All the fatigue in his body was swept away, so he took the initiative to help Zapdos and Moltres remove the scarlet energy from their bodies.
Articuno was overjoyed to hear that. Its two friends were still unconscious, and it had ignored them before because Lugia's matter was more important.
Now that Lugia's predicament has been resolved, Articuno naturally begins to worry about the situation of his friends.
Eddie stayed on the white jade pillar for another two days. While he was removing the scarlet energy from Zapdos and Moltres, Articuno went back to report his safety to Diantha and the others.
After learning that Eddie had successfully completed the mission, whether it was Diantha, Lysandre, Selene, Popplio, Helioptile, or Captain Talonflame, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, Eddie was carried back out of the giant pit by Articuno.
After putting Eddie down, Articuno said to him sincerely: "Thanks to your help this time, Lugia was freed. You can make a request to us, and as long as we can do it, we will definitely help you do our best to complete it."
Eddie's eyes lit up when he heard this. Is there such a good thing? But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he really didn't need the help of the three Legendary Birds.
At this moment, he had an idea. He looked at the woods outside the giant pit and said to the three Legendary Birds, "Can I bring back some fruit trees and fruit tree seeds from here?"
"Just this?" The Three Legendary Birds were stunned when they heard this. They never expected Eddie to make such a request.
No, this can't even be considered a requirement, because those fruit trees were not planted by them, but just grew naturally when the Cave of the Sea God was built.
Articuno nodded: "Of course, you can take any fruit trees and seeds you like."
Eddie was ecstatic when he heard this. Many of the fruit trees here have been growing for thousands of years. Even if they have not been carefully cultivated, with the accumulation of time, their energy ratings have reached extremely terrifying levels.
If he used their seeds to grow fruit trees, maybe he could grow A-grade fruit.
Grade A and grade B are two completely different levels of fruit. If you can still buy grade B fruit on the market, then you have no chance of buying grade A fruit (exaggeration).
For any force or organization, fruit trees that can produce A-grade fruits are a kind of heritage. They will only use the A-grade fruits for themselves and will never sell them.
Moreover, because the fruit trees here grow in an environment of high energy concentration all year round, all those that survive have undergone a certain degree of mutation, which Eddie believes is of great research value.
"Then I'll be welcome."
After that, Eddie started to take Selene and the others to collect seeds in the woods. Diantha and Lysandre had nothing to do, so they ran over to help.
Articuno and the others were willing to reward Eddie, but they were not very happy with Diantha and Lysandre because they didn't help at all. In their eyes, the two were just adventurers who were good at causing trouble.
The two had no complaints at all. This experience was already amazing to them, and everything else was secondary.
After a period of hard collecting, Eddie obtained a large amount of fruit tree seeds, filling his space backpack tightly.
In fact, he also wanted more seeds, but the capacity of his space backpack was limited. It was already difficult to fit seeds in it. If he wanted to use them to grow trees, two or three trees would probably be the limit. This was really not cost-effective. It would be more economical to fit seeds in it.
Lysandre was a man with high emotional intelligence. He seemed to see Eddie's predicament, so he packed up his things and took the initiative to hand his empty space backpack to Eddie.
"If your space backpack is not enough, just take mine."
Eddie hesitated and said, "This is not good!" Space backpacks are generally very expensive.
Lysandre said nonchalantly: "It's just a space backpack. I'll give it to you. If it weren't for you this time, we don't know how long we would have been blamed by Articuno!"
"Okay then, thank you!" Eddie happily took Lysandre's space backpack.
"I'll give you mine too!" said Diantha at this time.
This time, Eddie didn't act pretentiously and directly took the space backpack that Diantha handed over.
Lysandre and Diantha's space backpacks are much larger than Eddie's own, especially Lysandre's, which is the largest type on the market. Its value is immeasurable, almost comparable to Eddie's entire current wealth.
Although the one owned by Diantha is not as good as the one owned by Lysandre, it is equally valuable.
After seeing the capacity of the two space backpacks, Eddie made up his mind to go back, free up the fruit trees, and return them to Lysandre and Diantha.
It is really too precious, and he doesn't deserve it.
Even though such a space backpack might not be a big deal for rich people like Lysandre and Diantha, Eddie has his own standards in mind, and he doesn't want to take advantage of others too much.
Many of the fruit trees here are unusually tall, so even with the space backpack given by Lysandre and Diantha, Eddie can actually only take away a very small part of them.
After collecting the seeds and fruit trees, Eddie and the others returned to the three Legendary Birds, waiting for them to take them out of the Cave of the Sea God.
Eddie and his friends took a lot of effort to get in, but according to Articuno, they have their own shortcuts to enter and exit the Cave of the Sea God.
However, when Eddie came back, Articuno held a few things in its mouth and placed them in front of him.
"This is..." Eddie asked puzzledly.
In front of Eddie were six crystal clear dark blue crystals and a dark green Pokémon Egg.
The dark blue crystal was undoubtedly a Water Stone, and it was of terrifyingly high purity.
As for the dark green Pokémon Egg, Eddie couldn't recognize what kind it was. After all, apart from Lugia's black egg, Eddie had never come into contact with any other Pokémon Eggs.
"Li~ This is for you!"
Articuno said.
Eddie really helped them solve a big problem that had troubled them for thousands of years, and only used some fruit trees as a reward. The three Legendary Birds felt that it was really petty.
Because of Kyogre, a large number of Water Stones were born in the Cave of the Sea God. Unfortunately, these Water Stones are useless to the three Legendary Birds and can only be used to evolve a small number of Water-type Pokémon living here.
So the three Legendary Birds picked out the purest ones and gave them to Eddie. As far as they knew, this level of Water Stone should be very valuable outside.
In addition, they also knew that human trainers like to pursue some rare Pokémon, so they chose another Pokémon Egg and gave it to Eddie.
This Pokémon Egg was picked up by Moltres outside.
Because the Cave of the Sea God is not suitable for the long-term survival of Fire-type Pokémon like Moltres, Moltres goes out every once in a while. This Pokémon Egg was obtained from a dying Pokémon mother when it went out one of the times.
This Pokémon seemed quite rare to Moltres, so after discussing with Zapdos and Articuno, it decided to give it to Eddie to train.
"What kind of Pokémon Egg is this?" Eddie asked puzzledly. To be honest, if it was an ordinary one, he didn't want to raise it.
"I won't tell you yet, but you can look forward to it. From a human perspective, it should be considered a very rare Pokémon." Moltres said with a slightly mischievous tone. Having solved Lugia's problem, it now felt so relieved that even the hidden side of its character was released.
"Well, I'll look forward to it."
Since Moltres said so, this may indeed be a rare Pokémon, and it may even be a quasi-legendary.
It's indeed something to look forward to.
