Lugia shot off in high spirits.
Xu Mu and Cynthia stayed close behind him.
As for Absol, he called out to Xu Mu and headed off alone in another direction, as though something were calling to him.
Little Lugia finally had a chance to be the center of attention. Xu Mu thought he deserved to let loose for once.
Come to think of it, Xu Mu had a hunch that the opening of this Secret Realm had something to do with Lugia.
This might even be the legendary Sea God Inheritance Secret Realm!
"Slow down! Wait for me!"
Unlike the Undersea Secret Realm, this place was filled with water, yet humans could breathe and even speak here.
Perched on Xu Mu's shoulder, Ralts watched their surroundings warily but sensed nothing strange.

Invisible Hoopa felt it too.
With his invisibility, no one below Supreme level should have been able to sense him.
Yet somehow, Hoopa felt as if someone's gaze were fixed on him.
It was almost as though his invisibility had stopped working!
Now that was unsettling.
Xu Mu and Cynthia noticed nothing. They were still following Little Lugia as he charged around at random.
Hoopa wanted to warn Xu Mu, but he didn't know how to bring it up. With his childlike nature, he had no idea what to say about something like this.
So he kept the feeling to himself and tried to ignore it.

"Huh? Why is there nothing here?"
"Where are the others of my kind? Why can't I sense a trace of Lugia
