Lorelei didn't reach for the towel, he just lowered his head and spoke slowly.
"When I was young, there were a large number of Lapras people living near Seafoam Islands."
Lorelei's voice was very soft, with a warm smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling a long time ago.
"Lapras is the gentlest and most beautiful elf I have ever seen."
Speaking of Lapras, infinite tenderness appeared on Lorelei's face.
"While other children were still hiding in the orphanage, I would often sneak out of the orphanage and play with those wild Lapras."
"It can almost be said that I have played and grown up with these Lapras since I was a child."
"My Lapras is the one I grew up with."
"In the next few years, in order to become stronger, I took Lapras and other friends to travel and practice together."
"This journey will take seven or eight years."
"When I return to Seafoam Islands again..."
Her voice paused.
"But suddenly I discovered that most of the countless Laprass who originally lived near Seafoam Islands had already disappeared."
After hearing Lorelei's words, the expressions of Lu Chen and his Lapras darkened.
"Later I found out that it was done by several poaching gangs nearby."
"Just because there are rumors that the shell behind Lapras has aphrodisiac properties!"
"In the end, they went crazy hunting Kanto Region wild Lapras because of this deserted beach!"
Lorelei's fists were clenched.
"Lapras and I worked together and successfully hunted down all those poachers."
"But the Seafoam Islands Lapras population did not recover because of the disappearance of poachers. Instead, it continued to decline steadily."
"Later, I found out through research that this was because the temperature near Seafoam Islands suddenly began to become abnormally unstable."
"It's hard for Laprass to continue living near Seafoam Islands."
"But after leaving the glacial area of Seafoam Islands, the Lapras people who entered the temperate ocean area became even weaker."
"Lapras of Seafoam Islands can be said to be a subspecies within a subspecies. They have adapted to the unique extremely cold climate of Seafoam Islands, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the warm ocean."
Lorelei raised his head and looked at Lu Chen.
Her eyes were red, but her gaze was serious.
"So when I learned from you Lu Chen that there is also a purebred Lapras, I thought--"
Lu Chen took up her words:
"So you don't want to breed a little Lapras to use as your combat power."
"But you want to use my Lapras bloodline to help your Laprass return to their ancestors and adapt to the warm ocean environment again?"
Lorelei nodded repeatedly, the light of hope rekindled in his eyes.
"Yes! Lapras, the ultra-ancient pure Water-type, must have stronger environmental adaptability."
"If this bloodline can be integrated into the modern Lapras population, maybe they can be allowed to survive and reproduce in the temperate oceans again."
Lu Chen was silent.
He looked at Lorelei's face that was soaked with water, and at the wet tears at the corners of her eyes.
Look at the pure persistence in her eyes, unadulterated by any selfish desires.
To be honest, Lu Chen also admires Lorelei at this time.
This woman, one of the dignified Elite Four, works for a dying wild tribe.
You can beg for help in a low voice, you can spend half of your savings, you can be soaked by Water Gun without giving up.
Lu Chen's Lapras also fell silent.
It looked at Lorelei, with complicated emotions flashing through its gentle eyes.
Lorelei saw that the attitudes of Lu Chen and Lapras seemed to have softened, and he cautiously suggested:
"How about giving it a try? Once! Just once!"
Lapras's expression changed instantly.
It shook its head firmly.
The large range of movements and clear attitude allowed everyone present to see clearly.
Lu Chen glanced at his own Lapras, then at Lorelei who was full of expectation, and sighed helplessly.
"Lorelei Elite Four."
"Huh?"
"I have a suggestion to help Kanto Region's Lapras adapt to the environment. In fact, it does not necessarily have to rely on breeding."
"Maybe there are other ways to help them."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lorelei's eyes lit up immediately. It was almost a certainty that Lapras of Kanto Region was about to become extinct.
This is the judgment made by many doctors, including Professor Oak.
Even Pokémon League is preparing to introduce other Lapras from other regions in the future to fill the gap of Kanto Region's Lapras.
But as a Lorelei who grew up watching those Laprass, I still want to give it a try.
At this time, Lu Chen heard from Lu Chen's mouth that it was still possible, Lorelei said excitedly in an instant
"You said it!"
