The Wings of Emrido

Chapter 82 The Wings of Emrido

Zhensha Town.

After Darkrai transformed into its "dormant state" and fell into Sawaki's hands, the residents of Masago Town, who were trapped in a nightmare, also woke up.

However, there wasn't much noise.

After having nightmares all day, they were exhausted, both physically and mentally, and it was a miracle they were even able to go out.

Despite this, Officer Jenny of Masago Town, after waking from her nightmare, insisted on patrolling the town on her motorcycle. Masago Town had suffered so much danger; she could no longer afford to let any potential crisis fester.

But then, "Ze Shu?!" Her voice held a hint of surprise.

The Growlithe dog beside her also barked loudly.

As Zeki walked down the street with Glaceon in his hand, he paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Officer Jenny's somewhat happy expression. She exclaimed in surprise, "You're back?"

"That's true, given the situation here—" Officer Jenny quickly realized, and shook her head. "Let's not talk about that. Now that you're back, perhaps you could go and see Hikari."

Ze Shu was taken aback: "Xiao Guang? What happened to her?"

He never expected that the name Xiao Guang would come out of Officer Jenny's mouth.

"After you left Masago Town, that child missed you a lot," Officer Jenny said. Seeing Sawaki's surprised expression, she explained, "I'm good friends with Hikari's mother, Ayako. Ayako often goes to other places to participate in the Grand Contest, so she asks me to take care of Hikari."

"Sometimes I've noticed that Hikari seems a bit down, and when I asked her about it, she mentioned your name, Sawaki." Ms. Officer Jenny smiled. "I was surprised at the time, but then I remembered that you were a teacher at Masago School, so I understood."

"Perhaps in your eyes Xiaoguang is just a student. But I can sense that in Xiaoguang's eyes, she is very close to you."

"Hikari—" Zeshu nodded, indicating that he understood. "I will go visit her."

After Xiaoguang was shocked by positive and negative electric shocks, he was given a nickname. He stood up for Xiaoguang and defended him, so Xiaoguang was closer to him.

"But it's getting late now, and I need to get to Xinqi Lake first," he said. "So—"

"I understand." Officer Jenny nodded decisively, then skillfully handed over a helmet. "Get in."

"Wang Yiyi," the Growlithe, also skillfully made way for her.

Ze Shu paused for a moment, then smiled, skillfully took the helmet, squeezed out of the Growlithe's seat, and sat down. With Officer Jenny's help, he arrived at Heart Lake in no time.

During this time, he rubbed the Growlithe's warm head, making the Growlithe so happy that it kept panting.

So much so that even before Officer Jenny left, Growlithe was still thinking about Ze Shu's "petting" skills, turning back frequently with eyes full of reluctance: "Woof woof!"

Ze Shu smiled helplessly.

However, Growlithe's feel is indeed completely different from his Glaceon and Vulpix. Their fur feels smooth and cool to the touch, like ice silk; while Growlithe's fur feels warm and thick.

If the fur of Vulpix and Glaceon is something you want to cover yourself with and gently stroke, then Growlithe is something you want to rub and play with vigorously, making you want to bury your whole body in it for a warm and cozy sleep.

The problem is that Officer Jenny's Growlithe is too small and doesn't meet his needs.

Maybe he'll get a Growlithe someday? If it's a sapphire, that would be even better. Just thinking about the thick, flowing mane of a sapphire Arcanine makes my hands itch.

Ze Shu casually looked around, taking in the surroundings of Xinqi Lake. He had been here many times before.

Under the cover of night, moonlight reflected on the surface of Xinqi Lake. Every now and then, a carp would leap across the water, stirring the reflection of the moon in the water. Beneath the surface, a pink figure seemed to flicker.

"Emrido?" Ze Shu called out softly, puzzled.

He hadn't expected Emlido to respond quickly anyway.

But then, "Emrido is here!" Suddenly, a pink, sprite-like figure flashed before him, its two ruby-encrusted tails bobbing in the air. A familiar telepathic connection arose in Zeki's mind, "I'm answering Zeki's call!"

Without waiting for Zeki's reply, it sniffed Zeki with its cute little nose and continued, "I smelled that guy Yukishi on Zeki! Is it here? Is it here?"

"Hmm—" Zeshu paused for a moment, then took out a Poké Ball. "I actually managed to bring it out."

With a bang, a white light appeared.

Psyduck: "Quack?"

It stood by the lake, covering its head, three hairs on its head twitching, its tiny pupils shrinking and dilating blankly.

I don't know what she's thinking.

Emrido's eyes widened: "This idiot is Yuxie?!"

"It's not Yuxi, it has Yuxi inside it," Ze Shu added. "Is there something you need from Yuxi?"

Empyreo honestly replied, "Nothing! Empyreo just smelled it."

Ze Shu: "

He got back to the point: "So, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Emrido's eyes lit up: "What? What? Emrido, I really want to help Zeki!"

It seems that only Yukshi knows his purpose?

Thinking this, Zeki took out "Yuxie's Claws" and said, "Emrido, you also have this kind of material, right?"

"Of course!" Emridor said proudly, "Since Ze Shu needs this, then Emridor will give it to you!"

"Isn't there some kind of 'trial by the god of emotions' needed?"

"Of course not! Let me do the math, including just now, Ze Shu has already saved Amritod twice! Trials and stuff like that are unnecessary! I'm not that old-fashioned guy, Yuxie."

"Emlido said."

Lake Heartbeat began to tremble. Suddenly, the central boulder split open, and a pinkish-gray light emerged from it, quickly drawn to Ze Shu. The [Wings of Empyrean] floated silently in the air.

[The Legendary Pokémon of the Lake—a testament to Mesprit's gratitude towards you, containing the power of the heart. It is said that collecting all three items will grant you incredible uses.]

Emridor, summoned by the "Wings of Emridor," spoke in a somewhat weak voice:

"Hey! Zeki, you keep it! This is Emrido's second most precious possession."

"Thank you, Emrido."

"You're welcome! After all, the most precious thing to Emrido is emotion, and his friendship with Zeki!"

"Isn't that right, Zeki!"

"Of course!"

Emrido was overjoyed to have gained Ze Shu's approval, and his bright eyes squinted happily.

Then it let out a yawn and said, "Imlido is a little sleepy."

"Why don't you go to sleep if you're tired?"

"But Emredo is a little reluctant to part with Zeki for the time being."

After saying that, Memru looked left and right, and suddenly its eyes fixed on Psyduck, who was staring blankly by the lake. It happily said:

"Emlido has an idea!"
