In the evening, Xia You took Li Jia, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang to the Temple of the Sea for an appointment.
There were stars in the sky, and the cool sea breeze blew on the bodies of several people, taking away the last bit of heat after sunset.
The Temple of the Sea is located not far from the Arena and to the west of Kako City on Chiyan Island. It is large in scale and built on a cliff. Looking down from here, you can take in the entire city at a glance. , you can also clearly see a broad and rapid whirlpool on the sea on the other side of the cliff!
This vortex looks very dangerous. I don’t know when it was formed, let alone how long it has existed. It is like a toilet that keeps working, continuously sucking seawater to an unknown place.
The surrounding exposed rocks were washed extremely smooth, and the sound of water flow caused by the whirlpool sounded a bit harsh, but fortunately, after listening to it for a long time, you gradually became accustomed to it.
Although this dinner is grand, except for Xia You, the most important sea warrior, and the great priest Maya who presided over the banquet, no one from the political circles or businessmen of the Whirlpool Islands is on the invitation list, but Xia You can bring her. Some friends and relatives attended.
From this point of view, this dinner seems to be quite pure, without any other purpose. It seems to be set up solely to celebrate Xia You becoming the Brave of the Sea.
Passing by several security personnel dressed as ancient soldiers, a few people walked into the temple together.
Before they could get closer, they discovered that the style of the temple was the same as that of the arena, the ancient Greek style. When they entered the temple gate, they saw a statue of the God of the Sea at a glance!
Just as Xia You expected, the God of the Sea here indeed refers to Lugia!
The Lugia in front of you is carved at a one-to-one ratio. Except for the different colors, it is so lifelike that it is almost exactly the same as the real thing!
Several people couldn't help but stop and gather around to look at the statue carefully.
Although they had seen this legendary Pokémon in the Orange Islands, they had only seen it a few times from a long distance, not as carefully as they could see it now.
"What a beautiful Pokémon... But up close, Lugia is really huge!"
Xiaoxia raised her head, touched one of Lugia's wings with her hand, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
As a water Pokémon trainer, her ultimate dream is to one day conquer a Lugia or Kyogre. Now with such a statue placed in front of her, for a moment, she felt that even her dream was impossible. No longer far away!
"It's very big." Xia You nodded. He was already quite tall among his peers, but standing in front of this huge bird Pokémon, he still felt very small. "According to the data, According to records, an adult Lugia can reach a height of 5.2 meters, a weight of 216.0 kilograms, and a wingspan of more than ten meters. A proper large bird Pokémon is indeed quite majestic. Compared with it, My Three Holy Birds can only be considered medium-sized, and there is no way to compare with it."
Several people gathered around Lugia's statue and marveled, but at this moment, they heard footsteps on the other side. Several people turned their heads and saw Maya, the great priest, walking towards him.
With a smile on her face, Maya walked up to them, and then looked at Lugia's statue as well.
"As you can see, this is the God of the Sea, and he is also the existence that our Uzumaki Islands have always believed in. Since a long time ago, it has been protecting the Uzumaki Islands from outside interference. He is the well-deserved God of the Sea here!"
In her heart, she marveled at the beauty of Maya. Out of her longing for Lugia, Xiaoxia asked: "Um...are those whirlpools outside the island also created by the God of the Sea?"
Maya shook her head gently: "Well... because it is too old, it is impossible to verify it. You can think it is, or you can think it is not. However, the general scientific point of view is that the formation of those vortices is actually related to the trenches and ocean currents near the island."
Xia You raised his eyebrows. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but look at this beautiful priest with admiration.
You must know that ordinary clergy, in order to promote their beliefs, would like to put all the bizarre things on the gods they believe in. However, priests like Maya who put facts into practice are really rare!
Before he could say anything, Maya turned to look at Xia You's companions again.
For Maya, she naturally has a certain understanding of Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia, the two cup contestants, but this is the first time for her to meet Lijia and Xiaogang because they did not participate in the competition.
Xia You coughed lightly and introduced the two parties.
When she learned that these two were both gym leaders in the Kanto region, Maya showed a look of surprise. She couldn't help but smile and said: "You are truly worthy of being Mr. Champion. No, I should say now, you are truly worthy of being Mr. Champion." Our Hero of the Sea! I didn’t expect that not only is he so powerful, but the companions accompanying him also have powerful partners like the museum owner!”
"You misunderstood." Xia You shook his head gently, "These two friends of mine were just unable to stay in the gym for some reasons, so they went out to travel for a while, but they didn't deliberately give up their jobs there. Travel with me."
Maya chuckled: "Even so, but being recognized by the museum owners doesn't mean you are different!"
…
Eight o'clock in the evening, Sea Temple Banquet Hall.
The long table was filled with all kinds of fruits, snacks and delicacies, and several maids were playing musical instruments. Everything made Xia You couldn't help but think back to that night on Asia Island.
Everything is so similar, even the high priest seems to correspond to the festival girl at that time.
Clear and beautiful music echoed in my ears.
The banquet had officially begun. Xia You and the others released their small Pokémon. For a moment, the entire banquet hall looked chaotic, but also very lively.
In front of the long table, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were eating and drinking, and even Pikachu was constantly throwing things into their mouths. The way they were gobbling them up looked quite funny, which made the maids beside them shout. Covering his mouth and snickering.
Compared to them, Xia You and Li Jia's eating habits are much more elegant.
Because Xia You is more willing to spend money, he has never treated himself and his Pokémon badly when it comes to food and drink, and naturally he will not be like Xiaozhi and the others now, who seem to have not eaten for several years. What a good thing.
During the dinner, he and Maya talked from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed and pleasant, but vaguely, he felt that the purpose of this banquet was not that simple.
Although Maya had a smile on her face, something seemed to be bothering her.
