In the evening, Xia You took Lijia, Ash, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang to the Temple of the Sea to make an appointment.

The sky was full of stars, and the cool sea breeze blew on the bodies of several people, taking away the last bit of residual heat after sunset.

The Temple of the Sea is located not far from the arena, located in the west of the city of Kako on Chiyan Island, it is a large scale, built on a cliff, from here you can look down, just in time to see the whole city scenery, but also can clearly see the sea on the other side of the cliff, a wide and turbulent whirlpool!

The whirlpool looks dangerous, and I don't know when it formed, let alone how long it has been there, like a non-stop flush toilet, constantly sucking in seawater somewhere.

The bare reef around is washed away and smooth, and the sound of the water caused by the whirlpool is rattling, which sounds a little harsh, but fortunately, after listening to it for a long time, I gradually got used to it.

Although this dinner was grand, except for Xia You, the most important warrior of the sea, and Maya, the great priest who presided over the banquet, whether it was politicians or businessmen from the Vortex Islands, they were not on the invitation list, but Xia You could bring some relatives and friends to attend.

From this point of view, this dinner party seems to be quite pure, without any other purpose, and it seems that it is only set up separately to celebrate Xia You's becoming the Brave of the Sea.

Passing past a few security guards dressed as ancient soldiers, several people walked into the temple in pairs.

Before they could get closer, they noticed that the style of the temple was the same as that of the arena, which was the same ancient Greek style, and when they entered the temple gate, they saw a statue of the god of the sea at a glance!

Just as Xia You expected, the god of the sea here is indeed referring to Lokia!

The Lokia in front of me is carved in a one-to-one scale, except for the different colors, the shape is lifelike, almost exactly like the real thing!

Several people couldn't help but stop and gather around to take a closer look at the statue.

Although they had seen this legendary Pokémon in the Orange Islands before, it was only a few glances from a long distance, and it was not as close as they were now.

"It's such a beautiful Pokémon...... But up close, Lokia is really huge! ”

Xiaoxia raised her head and touched one of Lokia's wings with her hand, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

As a water-based Pokémon trainer, her ultimate dream is to one day be able to subdue a Rockia or Gaioca, and now that there is such a statue in front of her, for a moment, she feels that even her dream is no longer far away!

"It's huge." Xia You nodded, his height was already quite tall among his peers, but standing in front of this huge bird Pokémon, he still felt that he was very short, "According to the records, the adult Lokia can reach 5.2 meters tall, weigh 216.0 kilograms, and have a wingspan of more than ten meters. ”

A few people gathered around the statue of Lokia and were amazed, and at this moment, only to hear the sound of footsteps on the other side, a few people turned their heads to look, only to see the great priest Maya coming in style.

With a smile on her face, Maya walked up to them and looked at the statue of Lokia as well.

"As you can see, this is the god of the sea, and it is also the existence that we have always believed in in the Vortex Islands, and it has been protecting the Vortex Islands from the outside world since a long, long time ago, and it is a well-deserved god of the sea here!"

A little amazed at Maya's beauty in her heart, out of her yearning for Lokia, Xiaoxia asked, "That... Were the whirlpools outside the island also created by the god of the sea? ”

Maya shook her head slightly: "Well... Because it is too old to be verified, it can be considered yes or no, but the general scientific view is that the formation of the vortex is actually related to the trenches and ocean currents near the islands. ”

Xia You raised his eyebrows, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help but be a little impressed by this beautiful priest.

You must know that ordinary clergy, in order to promote their beliefs, are eager to put all the bizarre things on the gods they believe in, and it is really rare for a priest like Maya to put the truth on it!

Before he could say anything, Maya turned her head again to look at Xia You's companions.

For Maya, she naturally has a certain understanding of the two cup contestants, Ash and Xiaoxia, but because Lijia and Xiaogang did not participate, it was the first time she had seen them.

Xia You coughed lightly and introduced both parties.

And when she learned that these two were the masters of the gym in the Guandu region, Maya showed a look of surprise, and she couldn't help laughing: "It's really worthy of Mr. Champion, no, it should be said now, it's really worthy of our sea bravery!" I didn't expect that not only was my own strength so strong, but even the companions who accompanied me had a powerful partner like the hall owner! ”

"You're mistaken." Xia You shook his head slightly, "These two friends of mine are only temporarily unable to stay in the gym for some reason, so they will come out to travel for a while, but they didn't deliberately give up their jobs there to travel with me. ”

Maya chuckled: "Even so, being recognized by the museum owners doesn't mean that you are different!" ”

……

8 p.m., Sea Shrine Ballroom.

The long table was filled with all kinds of fruits, snacks and delicacies, and several maids were playing musical instruments on the side, all of which made Xia You think back to the night when he was on the island of Asia.

Everything is so similar, even the high priest seems to correspond to the festival girl at that time.

The beautiful music echoes in the ears.

The banquet had officially started at this time, Xia You and the others released their small Pokémon, and for a while, the entire banquet hall looked chaotic, but it was very lively.

In front of the long table, Ash, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang were eating and drinking, and even Pikachu was constantly throwing things into his mouth, and their gobbling up looked quite funny, which couldn't help but provoke the maids on the side to cover their mouths and snicker.

Compared with them, Xia You and Lijia's eating appearance is much more elegant.

Because Xia You is more willing to spend money, he has never treated himself and his Pokémon badly in terms of appetite, and naturally he will not be like the current Ash and them, as if he has not eaten anything good for several years.

During the banquet, he and Maya talked from time to time, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed and pleasant, but vaguely, he felt that the purpose of this banquet was not so simple.

Maya had a smile on her face, but something seemed to be bothering her between her eyebrows.
