Baimu did not grasp what Lugia meant at first.
Then he caught sight of the Silver Feather in Blissey's hand. Lugia must have sensed the feathers he had received from the mother and child of its own kind, and that was why it had asked him where the other Lugia were.
But could the other Lugia help it? Could they undo the Dark Modification?
"Hoopa can help with that!"
Eager to help, Little Hoopa raised a hand and shouted, looking just like a kindergartener volunteering for the teacher. Without waiting for an answer, it began working a Golden Ring.
Lugia did not spare it a glance. It kept staring at Baimu and somehow puffed out a cloud of mist, urging him to tell it where the others were.
It did not seem to realize that Hoopa was the one who could actually find them.
