Chapter 976: Kingdom
Chapter 976: Kingdom As soon as Dusknoir appeared, it used Trick Room move. Dusknoir speed originally not very fast, however with the help of Trick Room it allowed Dusknoir to instantly appear in front of Yuga and the others.
The approach of Dusknoir made Dragonite and Gengar stand on edge, their bodies tensed, ready for anything. However, Dusknoir didn't attack Yuga; instead, it embraced him with its muscular arms.
"Dusknoir, Dusknoir, Dusknoir."
Dusknoir let out a soft call, but Yuga sensed a deep sense of emotion and sighs in that low growl.
"Are you... Shadowsong's Dusknoir?"
The moment Dusknoir held Yuga, he was startled, but upon hearing its call, he finally recognized Dusknoir's identity, and his heart was filled more with the joy of reunion.
"Dusknoir, Dusknoir!"
Dusknoir released Yuga and nodded.
"You... you're alive... so, what about Shadowsong?" Yuga said, feeling emotional.
Hearing Yuga mention its master, Dusknoir felt a bitter sadness. It had managed to reunite with Yuga across a thousand years, but its master...
Seeing Dusknoir's mood shift, Yuga's own mood darkened considerably.
Yes, a thousand years had passed. Yuga had only spent a little over two years in Arus, but for Shadowsong and Dusknoir, over a thousand years had gone by.
Shadowsong, the prince of Arus, and Yuga had met across time and space, spending a little over two years together in the era of the Arus Empire, witnessing the empire's demise together.
Speaking of it, Dusknoir wasn't originally Shadowsong's Pokémon. It was initially the Pokémon of Shadowsong's guardian, Hubert. When Hubert passed away, he entrusted Dusknoir with the task of protecting Shadowsong, and from that point on, it became Shadowsong's Pokémon.
Shadowsong was the first generation in Yuga and Mr. Kuni'o's lineage, a pure Grass-type Pokémon Trainer, and Dusknoir was his only non-Grass-type Pokémon.
After some reflection, Dusknoir invited Yuga and his Dragonite to board the ship. For Dragonite and Gengar, it was a reunion, and they were all quite happy to see each other again.
However, the Pelipper and the Wingull following behind were still confused and shivering. As soon as they boarded the ship, they flew to the mast and perched there, too scared to look around.
On this ghost ship, apart from Dusknoir and Dhelmise that initially attacked Yuga and his companions, there were many other Ghost-type Pokémon, such as Gengar, Banette, and Sableye, with quite high levels.
Yuga and his group's boarding caught the attention of the "crew" on the ship. It was the first time they had invited humans aboard their ship, and they wondered if this was the person they had been
Essentially, they had a similar status to the general cities in the League.
The sudden appearance of the ghost ship over the kingdom quickly caught the attention of the residents in the town below. However, their gazes were filled with amazement rather than fear when they looked at the ghost ship.
Most of the kingdom's citizens were aware of the enigmatic ghost ship's existence within the kingdom. It had been there since the kingdom's establishment and held a high status within the kingdom, although few had actually seen it.
Dusknoir has been wandering outside for many years, and the last time he returned to the kingdom was more than 20 years ago, so it is not surprising that the residents of the kingdom have not seen the ghost ship.
This time, the reason Dusknoir had coincidentally encountered Yuga was because it had planned to disembark and return to the kingdom from the location where Pelipper's family resided.
The ghost ship swiftly arrived over the royal palace, and before long, squads of soldiers marched out from the palace, followed by a tall middle-aged man among them.
However, this middle-aged man had a menacing look and didn't seem like someone with good intentions.
As expected, he spoke harshly as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Who goes there! Daring to intrude into the royal palace, you better quickly disembark from the ship!"
Even the kingdom's citizens knew that the ghost ship belonged to their own kingdom, how could this person not know? Clearly, he was doing this on purpose.
