Li Yuan agreed with Gardevoir. If Mama Lugia was nearby, bullying her child might provoke her into flooding Alola.
Mass casualties were one thing, but drowning potential bikini-clad wives? Unacceptable!
Alola was basically his now. He couldn't let his private property be damaged.
So he agreed to diplomacy first.
"Little Lugia, don't be afraid. We are here to help," Lana swam toward the struggling Baby Lugia, protected by Primarina and Gardevoir.
Lana's fishing rod was impressive, withstanding an Elite-level Pokémon's struggle. Should have built a space elevator with this material.
"Lu~!" Baby Lugia roared cutely but with vigilance and hatred.
She had just escaped bad guys. Hungry, she ate some bait, only to be caught by another group.
This world is dangerous! How can I save Mama?
"Don't be afraid. Let us remove the hook, okay?" Lana coaxed patiently.
"Lu~!" Instead of cooperating, Baby Lugia summoned a whirlpool in fear.
The powerful vortex threatened to tear them apart. Gardevoir and Primarina created a psychic barrier to stabilize the surroundings.
Normal approach failed. Baby Lugia was too scared.
"Hubby, what do we do?" Lana shouted toward the surface.
If Baby Lugia wouldn't cooperate, force was the only option. Mama Lugia might arrive soon.
"Forget it. I'll do it." Li Yuan teleported underwater with a psychic shield.
He didn't teleport to Gardevoir but directly onto the rampaging Baby Lugia, deep in the whirlpool.
Gardevoir panicked. Li Yuan's Elite strength wasn't stable yet. This was dangerous! She wanted to rush to him.
But Li Yuan stopped her telepathically. Primarina (Gym Leader level) couldn't handle the whirlpool alone; Lana would be swept away.
"Little Lugia, calm down." Li Yuan hugged Lugia (about his height) and patted her head like soothing a child.
"Lu..." Lugia calmed down quickly, feeling like she was under her mother's fin.
But looking up, she saw a human, not her mother.
She stared at Li Yuan, silent.
"Open your mouth. I'll take the hook out." Li Yuan patted her head.
"Lu~!" Surprisingly, Lugia obeyed, opening her mouth.
Li Yuan used telekinesis to remove the hook swiftly and applied Viridian Force to heal the wound instantly.
Pain gone! Baby Lugia swam around him joyfully.
She didn't understand why this human felt like kin, almost like her mother.
(It was Li Yuan's Aura disguise and Viridian Force affinity.)
"Hungry? Eat this." Li Yuan used his ultimate weapon: Life Energy Cubes.
No Pokémon could resist them. Especially a hungry baby.
The scent captivated Lugia immediately. Li Yuan tossed a cube; Lugia caught it like a puppy.
One bite, and she froze. Her eyes sparkled. Yummy!
She looked at Li Yuan drooling, eyes fixed on the box in his hand.
Fear forgotten. Only food remained.
Big Brother gives yummy food. He's not a bad guy!
"Lu~!" Lugia nuzzled Li Yuan's cheek affectionately.
Lana was stunned. Is this the same berserk Pokémon?
Are you a lewd Pokémon? Rejecting females but licking males immediately? You're lowering the Legendary status!
