Chapter 1398: The Lost Magby
Chapter 1398 - The Lost MagbyAfter subduing Hoopa's evil thoughts, the very first thing Ariana did was to make it help her
If you want to find out whether the Magby is a lost Pokémon belonging to someone else, the fastest way would of course be to communicate with it directly.
But Magby had just been scared by Gengar, and now when it saw Yuga, it reacted the same way as it did when it saw Gengar, retreating backward in fear.
Oh no, could this little one have been traumatized by Gengar? Yuga wondered.
At that moment, Duo Duo picked up Magby from the ground. After a simple round of comforting, Magby's crying gradually came to a stop.
Yuga thought: Could it be that I lack the glow of maternal love?
"Audino~ Audino~"
Yuga, let me talk to it. Once I get some useful information, I'll tell you.
Audino who is holding Magby in her arms, said to Yuga.
"That's the only way, then. Sorry to trouble you," Yuga agreed with a nod.
Just like that, Audino carried Magby into the kitchen.
Half an hour later, Magby's emotions had calmed down, and its cheerful cries could be heard coming from the kitchen.
"Audino~ Audino~ Audino~"
I asked, and it said it came from Mt. Chimney in Lavaridge Town. It was accidentally caught by a Fearow and brought here to Verdanturf Town. It's not a wild Pokémon.
"Lavaridge Town?" Yuga suddenly understood. "Then it's not surprising at all."
Lavaridge Town is located near to Mt. Chimney, which is a volcano. Volcanoes have always been known for producing Fire-type Pokémon. It wouldn't be odd to encounter a Magby there.
"Since it's not a wild Pokémon, did you ask it who its owner is?" Yuga asked again.
"Audino~"
No, it couldn't give any other clear answers.
Audino shook her head.
"Alright, got it."
After learning that Magby came from Lavaridge Town, Yuga called Flannery.
"Wow, you actually called me? That's rare. So, what's up?" Flannery's energetic voice came through the phone.
Compared to when Yuga first met her, Flannery had matured a lot. Now, under her management, the Lavaridge Gym was thriving.
When Flannery had just taken over the gym, many people didn't think highly of her. If the Lavaridge Gym hadn't been such a well-established one, she probably wouldn't have even had the qualifications to inherit it.
Fortunately, she was ambitious and hardworking, and now she had proven herself through real achievements.
"I wanted to ask you something," Yuga said.
"Go ahead," Flannery replied, a little surprised. "I'll tell you everything I know."
So Yuga told Flannery the story about Magby.
After listening, Flannery exclaimed, "No way, such a coincidence?"
Yuga asked in confusion, "What is it? Do you know who Magby's owner is?"
"It's probably mine," Flannery said with emotion.
It turned out that a few days ago, something had happened on Mt. Chimney. The volcano, which hadn't erupted in many years, showed signs of a possible eruption, causing widespread panic in Lavaridge Town.
Of course, Mt. Chimney ultimately didn't erupt, or else Lavaridge Town would've already been in the news.
But just because it didn't erupt doesn't mean nothing happened.
When the magma in Mt. Chimney's crater started to become agitated, the Pokémon on the mountain somehow became extremely panicked, resulting in a huge mess.
Flannery's grandfather, Mr. Moore, had built a breeding facility at one of Mt. Chimney's craters. Yuga had visited there once and had even received a Vulpix as a gift from the old man.
After Mr. Moore retired, most of his Pokémon were raised there.
The Magby that Flannery lost was a descendant of one of Mr. Moore's main Pokémon. Since it was still a newborn and not yet ready for training, it had been kept at the breeding facility.
The panic on Mt. Chimney had also affected the breeding base, and more than ten Pokémon went missing from the facility as a result.
Fortunately, Mr. Moore happened to be at the base at the time, so most of the Pokémon were recovered in time. Only Magby had gone missing.
Several days had passed, and Flannery had almost given up hope of finding it. She never expected to hear news about it from Yuga today.
"That's really such a coincidence. Hold on, I'll start a video call so you can confirm whether it's the one I lost."
After hearing Flannery's story, Yuga also exclaimed at the coincidence.
Through the video, Flannery immediately recognized Magby. It was indeed the one she had lost.
"That's wonderful! I almost thought it would never be found again," Flannery said happily. "Hold on, I'll come pick it up right away."
Lavaridge Town and Verdanturf Town are close to each other, so the round trip wouldn't take long.
"Wait, I'll bring it to you instead," Yuga suddenly said.
Having just heard from Wallace about news of Kyogre, for some reason, he thought of Groudon, and his instinct was to go check Mt. Chimney.
If it turned out that his instincts were correct, that would be for the best. If not... then there could be a big problem.
Truly a troubled time—problems kept coming one after another.
"Eh? I can't possibly trouble you like that!" Flannery said in surprise.
Yuga smiled and explained, "It's nothing. We haven't seen each other in a while, and I'll take this chance to visit you. You're not going to say I'm unwelcome, are you?"
"Alright, if you're not afraid of the trouble, come ahead! It's not like I can't afford to treat you to a meal," Flannery said. She knew Yuga definitely wasn't just coming to see her. Since he didn't say, she wouldn't ask.
