"The Moon Flute might have something to do with our mission!"
That single sentence made both women's expressions change drastically.
What had they come here for? To investigate the Alola Great Secret Realm and try to save the world!
But now Xiao Ran was saying that the Moon Flute was connected to their mission. Didn't that mean it was connected to their efforts to save the world?
Or was this flute the very thing that would destroy the world?
"Are you sure?" Yun Mengqiu asked gravely.
"The Moon Flute's purpose is to summon the Legendary Pokémon Lunala, and Lunala is an Ultra Beast from Alola's historical legends."
"So Lunala actually comes from an Ultra Wormhole too. It isn't native to the Alola Region either."
"It's just that, according to the Alola Region's legends, Lunala once appeared to protect the people there and drove off the invading Ultra Beasts for them."
"That's why I got so nervous when the Moon Flute appeared. If it really summons Lunala, that will also mean an Ultra Wormhole has been opened again."
"None of us knows whether Lunala will help humanity this time or side with the Ultra Beasts."
Xiao Ran's tone was rather heavy, and Yun Mengqiu and Qiu Yuxuan understood what he meant.
Lunala was the guardian deity of the Alola Region, but it also came from an Ultra Wormhole.
Summoning Lunala would mean exposing Earth's coordinates. An Ultra Wormhole would reopen, and those Ultra Beasts would follow.
The best solution, then, was simply not to open an Ultra Wormhole at all. Neither Lunala nor the Ultra Beasts needed to come. Maintaining the current peace was the best option.
"So we have to get that flute back. If we leave it with Bruce and his people, they'll definitely use it to summon Lunala,"
