Chapter 355: The King of Buds, but the Parenting Mode
Cosmog, a Nebula Pokémon, is a single psychic-type Pokémon with a "simple" trait. In Luo Mu's impression, its race value is only 200.
Even the moves it can learn and use are only the "jump" move that was originally translated as "water splash" and the "teleport" move that few psychic-type Pokémon can learn.
It is said that its easily evaporating gas-like body is very light, and even a breeze can blow it away.
It can't even learn a single attack move. Doesn't it look weak?
But Cosmog is a Pokémon with two stages of evolution. The second stage Cosmog will evolve into Cosmoem, and while the race value doubles to 400, the 0.2m-sized body weighs one ton.
It seems exaggerated, but after Cosmoem completes its final evolution, it will undergo a transformation that may be even more powerful than Magikarp's evolution into Gyarados.
The final evolution of Cosmoem, which has two branch evolutions, is Solgaleo, the legendary sun-devouring beast of the Alola region, or Lunala, the moon-inviting beast.
Their identities are like Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, and they are contemporary cover beasts.
At this stage, the racial value soars to 680, which symbolizes the legendary Pokémon, and the attributes are changed to Solgaleo "Psychic/Steel" and Lunala "Psychic/Ghost".
But why did Cosmogu appear in this Crown Snowfield?
From the look of the Bud Crown, it seems that it picked up Cosmogu and is now taking care of it.
This time, it seems that because of shock, Luo Mu did not lower his voice, causing the Bud Crown to hear his muttering clearly.
The Bud Crown looked at Luo Mu curiously and asked through telepathy: "Cosmogu? Is this its name? Do you know it?"
Luo Mu hugged Victini tightly, telling it not to wake up Cosmogu.
Otherwise, the devilish cries in the animation might have sounded in this crown temple.
Facing the three questions raised by the Bud Crown King, Luo Mu nodded gently: "Its name is indeed Cosmogu. To be precise, it is the name of the species, just like you call us humans."
"But. Can you tell me, where did you meet it?"
"Logically speaking, it is a Pokémon from another world, that is, a different world."
"It's no wonder it comes from a different world." The Bud Crown King's eyes widened slightly, as if the scene of that day was reflected in his eyes, "I won't hide it from you. In fact, on the day I picked it up, the sky seemed to be broken and a hole appeared."
"That void seemed to collapse, constantly sinking towards an unknown place. The colorful halo was shrouded there like an aura. The mysterious blue and white silk threads formed a passage like a spider web. The breath emanating from it was unknown and strange, and it did not belong to this world at all."
"Then, I saved Cosmogu who appeared from the cave in the wind and snow."
From the description of the Bud Crown King, and based on the identity of Cosmogu,
Almost instantly, Luo Mu determined that the hole that the Bud Crown saw should be a space-time passage called the "Ultimate Hole".
The end point on the other side should be the other world called "Ultimate Space".
Logically speaking, the Ultimate Hole should only appear in the Alola region, that is, where the light of Necrozma shines.
The appearance of the Ultimate Hole in the Crown Snowfield seems to have a trace.
At least in Luo Mu's impression, in the animation, Liliae's father and Lusamine's husband Morn was brought to the Crown Snowfield by a Voidid through the Ultimate Hole.
According to the timeline, Morn may be living alone somewhere in the Crown Snowfield.
As for the game, in addition to the Ultimate Hole that is set to open in the Gigantamax Nest, Luo Mu clearly remembers that there seems to be a Cosmogu named "Little Piaopiao" in the game that appears in the Frozen Village and is adopted by an old woman.
Could that Little Piaopiao be the Cosmogu rescued by the Bud Crown in front of him?
Is the little Piaopiao adopted by the old woman in the game related to the King of the Crowned?
For a moment, Luo Mu felt that everything made sense.
Looking at Cosmogu and then at the King of the Crowned, Luo Mu said firmly: "So the reason why you frequently enter the Frozen Village to try to possess is."
The King of the Crowned looked at Luo Mu deeply, as if he was satisfied with his cleverness, and nodded: "I want to find someone worthy of my trust for this child."
"Uh"
Luo Mu's eyes widened slightly. He guessed that it was the King of the Crowned who was possessing the villagers, but he didn't guess that the reason why the King of the Crowned frequently possessed was because he wanted to find someone worthy of Cosmogu.
No wonder it asked if he could take care of the child when it first opened its mouth.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu couldn't help asking: "Is it really okay to entrust it to me?"
The King of the Crowned looked at Luo Mu strangely, his eyes fell on Cosmogu, a soft light flashed in his eyes, and his mind recalled every bit of getting along with this little guy in this short time, and he spoke with a hard heart.
"It is not one of my people. I have been kind enough to protect it for several months in this dangerous and extreme snowfield. This is the best thing for it."
After the words of the Bud Crown King fell, before Luo Mu could organize his words to respond, Cosmogu seemed to have slept enough. His tightly closed eyes trembled for a while, and then, after a childish hum, Cosmogu slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was the figure of the Bud Crown King.
After this period of getting along, the Bud Crown King seemed to be the closest and most reliable person for Cosmogu.
"Mogu~!"
Cosmogu's petite body seemed to ignore the existence of gravity. Under Victini's surprised expression, it slowly floated up and happily jumped into the arms of the Bud Crown King.
Looking at Cosmogu's skilled appearance, it can be seen that the Bud Crown King usually hugged it.
A trace of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the Bud Crown King, and the telekinesis subconsciously surged out, fixing Cosmogu's flying pounce in mid-air and directly changing the direction.
All these changes were extremely subtle. While showing the excellent mental control skills of the Bud Crown, they did not attract Luo Mu's attention. Only Victini, who is also a psychic Pokémon, felt a little ripple.
But Victini is a carefree person and did not care about the noise that was like a needle falling in a noisy vegetable market.
When the Bud Crown changed, Cosmogu, who was flying with his eyes closed, did not notice it and threw himself directly into Luo Mu's arms, pushing Victini to the other side.
As for Luo Mu, who found Cosmogu throwing himself into his arms, he was full of question marks.
How could he not know that his charm was so great now?
The young body of the legendary elf threw himself into his arms as soon as they met?
Luo Mu felt Cosmogu rubbing against his arms first. The cotton-like touch was very rare, and the weight was almost light, which surprised and novel him.
Knowing the setting is one thing, but you will know how magical it is when you actually experience it.
But after rubbing, Cosmogu seemed to find something wrong. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Victini, who greeted him in a friendly way and wanted to make friends with him.
"Bi Mi~~"
Faced with Victini's friendly gesture, Cosmogu was stunned for a moment, and then a terrifying cry sounded in the Crown Temple under Luo Mu's terrified expression.
"Mmm-mmm-!"
While making a terrifying cry comparable to ultrasound, Cosmogu looked around in panic, as if he wanted to find the familiar figure.
Victini was so scared that he even forgot to fly, and fell on the dusty floor of the Crown Temple. He stared at Cosmogu who was crying loudly, and felt that his V-shaped ears were constantly echoing with terrifying sound wave attacks.
Luo Mu didn't know where he got the willpower to endure it. He half-opened his eyes and looked at the Bud Crown King beside him, wanting it to comfort Cosmogu.
But apart from the spotless broken throne, the figure of the Bud Crown King in the dusty and uncleaned solemn temple has completely disappeared.
Although his eardrums hurt, Luo Mu didn't care about that at this time. He frowned and carefully searched the surroundings with his eyes, but found nothing in the end.
He was still a little unbelievable in his heart.
Did the Bud Crown King just leave?
At this time, Victini seemed to be unable to bear Cosmogu's crying. It couldn't bear it anymore and took out a piece of sweet orange flavored Baofen from its own body, flew up directly, and stuffed it into Cosmogu's open mouth.
In an instant, the unique sweet taste of the sweet orange flavored Baofen burst out in Cosmogu's mouth.
Cosmogu's crying gradually stopped.
His eyes widened slightly, feeling the unprecedented taste in his mouth, he was so distracted that he even forgot that he wanted to cry, but he didn't forget to chew the Baofen.
Luo Mu: "."
Another foodie!
After eating the Pofen, Cosmog's mood seemed to ease and gradually stabilize.
"Mo~"
It curiously floated in front of Victini, approached Victini's body with a silly look, and sniffed with a seemingly non-existent nose, as if looking for the same smell as the Pofen just now.
"Tini!"
Because the only Pofen entered Cosmog's mouth, Victini was sad at this time, pouting to prevent Cosmog from smelling it, and chose to fly away directly.
But Cosmog was like a follower, following it closely, and finally turned into two Pokémon that were extremely rare in the outside world and circled around Luo Mu.
After a while, it seemed that they were tired of turning, and Victini and Cosmog stopped.
Although they were panting with exhaustion, the two Pokémon looked at each other and laughed happily at the same time.
"Bi Mimi~" "Momogu~"
The cheerful laughter and atmosphere rippled throughout the Crown Temple. It was only a short while, and Victini and Cosmogu seemed to have become friends.
This is also the reason why Luo Mu felt that many Pokémon were like children. Their joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness would not last long. They lived more casually and straightforwardly.
After a while, this time Victini agreed to let the new friend Cosmogu smell him.
Having said that, when Victini saw Cosmogu crying and searching in vain, his eyes rolled around, and a good idea suddenly emerged in his little head.
Holding Cosmogu's hand, Victini took it and flew to Luo Mu, and asked for food with confidence.
"Tini!"
This time, Victini stood up straight!
Cosmogu blinked, and followed Victini's example by stretching out his hand, straightening his seemingly nonexistent back, and acting confidently.
"Mogu!"
Luo Mu: "."
Luo Mu saw through its little tricks at a glance and gave Victini a warning look.
After seeing Victini restrained himself, Luo Mu put down the backpack on his shoulder, took out a box of new Baofen that had been sealed and unopened, and handed it to Victini, letting it share it with Cosmogu.
As for Luo Mu himself, he still had some things he wanted to confirm. In his opinion, the sudden departure of the Bud Crown King without saying goodbye was full of doubts, especially its attitude towards Cosmogu.
"Mogu~Mogu~Mogu~"
Enjoying the different flavors of Bofen made by Luo Mu with his new friend Victini, Cosmogu listened to Victini's complaints about how when Luo Mu kidnapped him, he said that there was no limit to the delicious food, but now he had to control his three meals for the so-called nutritional intake.
Unfortunately, Cosmogu didn't listen to all of Victini's complaints.
It only grasped one key point.
"Bofen was made by Luo Mu, and Luo Mu will make more delicious things like Bofen"
Listening to Victini's chatter, Cosmogu frequently cast his eyes on Luo Mu who was walking around the Crown Temple. He was a little curious. Because of his childish personality, he temporarily put the Bud Crown King behind his mind.
Perhaps because the Pofen was so delicious, when Luo Mu finished exploring the main hall of the Crown Temple and returned to the throne, Cosmogu did not show any fear towards him, but instead showed him a close gesture.
"The Bud Crown King seems to have entrusted you to me temporarily. Now we are staying here and it should not show up. Do you want to go back with me for a while?"
"Don't worry, I will let you meet again."
Luo Mu stroked Cosmogu's cotton-like soft body and promised softly.
Hearing the name of the Bud Crown King, although Cosmogu had no impression of it, perhaps it was the intuition of the psychic Pokémon, it directly equated "Bud Crown King" with the figure in its memory.
Cosmogu was a little confused and didn't understand why the Bud Crown King disappeared.
But Cosmogu still nodded firmly, and after watching Victini lying on Luo Mu's shoulder, it arched towards Luo Mu's arms, as if this would give it more sense of security.
Luo Mu took a deep look at the dusty environment in the Crown Temple, came to the door, summoned Dragonite with the Poké Ball, flew into the sky, and flew towards the Frozen Village at the foot of the mountain.
After they left for a long time, the petite figure of the Bud Crown King reappeared in the ruined temple.
Coming to the broken throne, the Bud Crown King slowly sat down, but its eyes always stayed in the direction where Luo Mu had just left.
"."
On the empty throne, the forgotten king sighed imperceptibly.
On the way back, probably because of bad luck, Luo Mu still encountered a big blizzard.
Although he and Dragonite could barely withstand it, there was still the fire emitted by Victini to warm their bodies.
But in his arms, there was also the extremely weak Cosmog.
After consideration, Luo Mu and Dragonite found an abandoned cave on the mountainside, stayed there until morning, and chose to fly to the Frozen Village again with their bodies warmed by the fire all night when the blizzard gradually stopped.
Luo Mu hardly slept that night, but thought about the relationship between the King of the Crown and Cosmogu, the obvious loopholes in its words, and the real intention of the King of the Crown.
The King of the Crown said that Cosmogu was picked up by it under the Ultimate Cave, which means that Cosmogu has nothing to do with "Little Nebula" at least, and it is very likely the "Little Piao Piao" in the game.
The King of the Crown frequently possessed people in the Frozen Village, breaking its own years of persistence. The reason why it wanted to communicate with people was probably because it felt that it could not take good care of Cosmogu, and with its broken body that could not even do telepathy now, it was impossible to watch Cosmogu grow up.
As for the reason why Cosmogu flew to him, although there was a feeling of shattered fantasy, Luo Mu guessed that it was probably the work of the King of the Crown.
The reason was that he let Victini restore some power to the King of the Crown, so that it could change the angle of Cosmogu's flight silently.
Based on Cosmogu's attitude towards the Bud Crown, and the seemingly "indifferent" words of the Bud Crown, which actually hide his inner thoughts very deeply.
Luo Mu can infer that the Bud Crown must be reluctant to part with Cosmogu.
But because of his current powerlessness, the Bud Crown would rather endure the reluctance and find a good place for Cosmogu to live, and finally chose Luo Mu, who is very good at taking care of children's Pokémon.
In this way, the image of the Bud Crown in Luo Mu's eyes has changed from the betrayed and empty legendary king to a sad old father who would rather choose to swallow this pain in order to find a good future (shelter) for his child (Cosmogu).
Although legendary elves have no gender, the Bud Crown is the king, so it should be an old father, right?
Dragonite was flying steadily in the air, and Luo Mu looked at Cosmogu sleeping soundly in his arms, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
If Luo Mu didn't know how to properly bring the Rape Crown King back to the farm before, now he probably has some idea.
Ray Crown, you don't want Cosmogu either
Ahem, Ray Crown simply feels that he is incapable of raising Cosmogu in his current state.
Then what Luo Mu has to do next is very simple.
It is not clear whether Ray Crown will continue to move forward after suffering a loss in terms of faith, but Luo Mu only needs to follow the process in the game and let Ray Crown tame Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse to regain strength.
As for what Ray Crown can use to tame Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse?
Isn't there Victini, the power bank of the nuclear power plant!
However, first of all, Ray Crown must clearly recognize the fact that it has no believers at all now.
Otherwise, it will not make up its mind.
It will only endure the pain of physical weakness and disappearance of strength day after day, just like in the countless years in the past, waiting for the audience of its non-existent believers.
"Bowu~"
The call of Dragonite brought Luo Mu, who had already made a plan in his mind, back to his senses.
Looking down, he found that there was a clear outline of the Frozen Village below.
Luo Mu patted Dragonite on the back and signaled Dragonite to land slowly.
After all, even from the perspective of the sky, there were traces of human activity in the Frozen Village at this time.
The movement of Dragonite falling was very eye-catching in a remote village like Frozen Village.
In addition to the villagers who looked more energetic than Nemo and the others when Luo Mu first arrived at the Crown Snowfield.
Nemo, Papa, Mudan, Pipa, Pioni and Xia Keya, who heard the news, took Luo Mu back to the house directly.
Nemo clasped her hands together and said in surprise: "Teacher must have solved the incident completely!"
Papa widened his eyes and sighed as if relieved: "That's great!"
Pipa looked at his fist, his expression seemed a little unwilling.
After all, before he learned the "see through" and "smell detection" moves, the incident was solved first?
Although Mudan was overjoyed, she still restrained her expression slightly and coughed lightly, saying, "I can book a ticket back to Padiya now."
She seemed to be eager to leave here, or to get away from her frightened father.
Pioni's painful cry when he heard that his daughter was leaving, and Xia Keya's scolding voice lingered in his ears.
Luo Mu knocked on the corner of the table, and after everyone focused their attention on him, he spoke: "Let me first tell you the information I got overnight."
"The haunting thing actually has nothing to do with ghost-type Pokémon."
"I don't know, have you heard of the legend of the King of Plenty?"
Pioni, who had returned to his composure, touched his chin and thought: "One of the purposes of my coming to the Crown Snowfield is to investigate whether the legend of the King of Plenty is true, or just a fairy tale compiled by adults in this frozen village."
"In the previous investigation, I learned from an old lady that when she was a child, she heard her grandmother tell stories. There were stories that scared children that if children were naughty in the fields, their bodies and souls would be taken away by the king and they would never be able to return home."
"This made me doubt whether the "King of Plenty" actually existed. Unfortunately, the investigation was halfway through because of the progress of the ruins in the snow valley, so I temporarily put it aside. "
Pioni's words made Nemo and the others fall into deep thought.
At this time, Xia Keya, who was sitting on the table with her legs crossed, said again: "Last time when I went to the village chief to pay the rent, I accidentally heard him say that he could only rely on the King of Plenty to attract tourists. "
"I say, stupid dad, have you been deceived by them?"
"."
Because there is no real and strong evidence, Pioni didn't know how to refute Xia Keya at this time.
At this time, Luo Mu suddenly said: "The King of Plenty. The Bud Crown King exists, and I have met it last night."
"It also entrusted a Pokémon to me."
The moment Luo Mu's voice fell, Nemo and the others immediately cried out in surprise.
"Ah——! ?"
I don't know if it was to cooperate with this wonderful opportunity, or if it was simply woken up by the sound.
Cosmogu, who was sleeping hard in Luo Mu's clothes, yawned, opened his eyes, and squeezed out from Luo Mu's collar.
