"OK, all done."
Lucas clapped his hands, stretched, and spoke to Lance and the others.
Looking at The Legendary Birds behind Lucas, Lance was unexpectedly calm.
After all, before coming, Lucas had told him he was calling a friend over, and a moment later, Moltres had flown to the Breeding House.
Now, even if Lucas said he had captured The Legendary Birds, he wouldn't be surprised.
After witnessing Celebi, Gary also found it acceptable.
The most surprised were Afro Flint and Roark.
"It's a good thing you and Champion Lance arrived in time."
Gary finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.
Lucas immediately slapped the back of Gary's head.
Gary giggled and said nothing.
"Lucas, this is Ash. Ash, this is my Master in the Sinnoh Region, Lucas; he's the owner of a Breeding House."
Listening to Gary's introduction, Lucas looked at Ash.
He looked exactly like he did in the anime.
Lucas smiled and nodded. "Ash? I've often heard Gary mention you."
Gary:?!
Huh?! Have I mentioned him often?!
Ash glanced at Gary, then grinned and laughed out loud.
"Hello, Lucas. This is Dawn, and this is Brock. They're my good friends traveling with me, along with Pikachu."
"Hello, Lucas."
Dawn was as youthful and energetic as ever.
"Hello, I'm Brock."
Lucas looked at the bronze-skinned man; his eyes were unexpectedly small.
"Hello, everyone."
"Pika~"
Lucas looked at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder; it was incredibly cute.
Although Pikachu looked cute now, Lucas reckoned that even if he and Lance were gone, Ash and Pikachu could still handle them.
This was the Sinnoh Region's Ash and Pikachu.
One had plenty of battle awareness, and the other hadn't started "acting" yet.
"Lucas, may I ask if you've captured The Legendary Birds?"
Roark asked timidly from the side.
Lucas looked over, then at The Legendary Birds behind him, and shook his head.
"No, I was just entrusted by a friend to come and handle their situation."
Roark nodded.
He had heard Lucas's name from Gardenia, as well as the incident where Lucas handled Moltres.
Lucas is indeed very powerful.
"Are you Lucas?"
Afro Flint asked after notifying the police to come.
"Hello, Elite Four Flint. I originally thought Roark would be the one coming to handle this."
Hearing Lucas's words, Flint put his hand behind his head and gave a smile.
"Because I was closest to here, the League sent me over."
I see. Lucas nodded; he had thought Lucian would be too busy working overtime to come.
"I thought Lucian was working overtime and couldn't make it."
Lucas made a joke.
Flint pursed his lips. "Actually, you're not wrong. Since Aaron and the others don't like handling paperwork and Big Sis is often away, Lucian is the only one left to deal with the administrative work."
C
Lucas: ————
"So he's working overtime again?"
Flint nodded. "If nothing unexpected happened, most likely."
On the other side, Lucian, who was currently handling paperwork, suddenly sneezed.
Lucas laughed out loud, then restrained himself a bit.
"I think you and Lucian would become very good friends, Lance."
After all, you're both constantly working overtime.
At the thought of this, Lucas almost couldn't help laughing again.
Lance had a face full of black lines.
"Don't you have any idea why I'm working overtime?"
Seeing Lucas getting along so well with Lance and Flint, and then glancing at the silent Legendary Birds behind him, Dawn whispered to Gary.
"Gary, who exactly is this Lucas?"
Ash and Brock also looked at Gary.
Brock could tell from Gengar and the others that they had been exceptionally well-raised.
Gary explained in detail.
Ash and the others all opened their mouths wide in shock.
Roark, standing nearby, was shocked once again.
Soon, the police all arrived at the scene. Flint directed them to take away all the Team Galactic members on the ground.
Seeing the paralyzing electricity on them, the police began to feel a bit sorry for them.
But pity aside, the speed at which they tied people up didn't slow down.
Many police officers were so frightened by the sight of The Legendary Birds in the sky that they didn't dare to speak.
Officer Jenny, the leader, came up to Flint and inquired.
"Elite Four Flint, about those Legendary Birds—"
Flint gave an "oh" and then said, "It's fine, they've already been beaten into submission by Lucas."
Officer Jenny's mouth dropped open. She looked at Lucas, who was playing around with Gengar, and was somewhat shocked.
However, at the moment, she was busy coordinating the scene with Flint.
But soon, a saying began to spread among the police.
"The Legendary Birds were beaten into submission by that man."
"I heard that man captured The Legendary Birds to resolve this matter."
After hearing this, one policeman looked up at Lucas, who was beneath The Legendary Birds.
That man, with Gengar, Lilligant, Dash, Gothitelle, Vulpix, and Staraptor standing beside him, and The Legendary Birds flying overhead, was chatting and laughing with the Champion of the Johto Region.
That's exactly the kind of man I want to be!
After saying that to himself, the policeman gave the Team Galactic members, who were in a state of sleep and paralysis, two sla-
ps.
Team Galactic members:?!
Flint's phone, while he was directing the scene, suddenly rang.
Upon answering, a cool, clear voice came through.
"Is the matter resolved? Do you need me to come over?"
Flint was taken aback. Big Sis?
He then shook his head hurriedly. "It's resolved. Thanks to the help of Mr. Lance, Lucas, Ash, and the others, we rescued The Legendary Birds and destroyed their device."
"Lucas?" The person on the other end was clearly stunned for a moment, then spoke up, "He's there too? Give him the phone."
Flint didn't understand why Lucas being there mattered, but he still obediently walked over to Lucas and handed him the phone.
Then he mouthed the words: "Big Sis."
Lucas took the phone. "Cynthia."
"How did you end up there?"
"A promise."
"I see."
Cynthia suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems like every major incident gets resolved because of you."
Lucas was startled, then also laughed. "It does seem that way."
"So, how do you plan to thank me, Miss Cynthia?"
"In that case, I'll cook the next time we meet!"
Lucas suddenly remembered the time Cynthia tried to cook and almost blew up the kitchen along with Garchomp.
"I'd better do it."
"Speaking of cooking, I'm actually hungry. I'm planning to take Lance and the others out for a meal first; it's thanks to them this time."
"Alright, then please thank Lance properly on my behalf. You can expense it to me."
"The boss is so generous~"
After hanging up, Lucas was about to put it in his pocket when he suddenly remembered it wasn't his phone.
He hurriedly returned it to Flint, expressing his apologies.
"Sorry, I habitually hung up the phone."
Flint shook his head.
Indicating it was no problem.
Seeing Lucas walk toward The Legendary Birds, he glanced at Lance.
"Mr. Lance, why does it feel like Lucas and Champion Cynthia are very close?"
Looking at Flint, who was asking cautiously, Lance spoke in surprise, "You didn't know? During the exhibition match between Champion Cynthia and me last time, Lucas was the only one invited to the family and friends section."
Flint:?!
What?!
The family and friends section?!
This is big, this is big. I'll have to ask Lucian about this when I get back.
Lucas looked at The Legendary Birds and said, "Do you want to go back to the Breeding House first? I'll make you something delicious before you leave. Or would you rather go your separate ways, and I'll call you when I find traces of Team Galactic?"
The Legendary Birds looked at each other, then flapped their wings and flew toward the Breeding House.
Lucas beckoned to Gengar.
Then he looked at Lance and the others, waving his arm.
"Let's go, everyone. I'm taking you out for some good food."
gengar sound
"Yay!"
"Thank you, Lucas."
