Hearing Teppei turning over and mumbling in his sleep, Takumi's lips curled up.
Mihoyo is teasing us, Mihoyo is teasing us.
I will confiscate this emotional dagger of yours!
Not only will Teppei not die.
On the contrary, because of his gift, his destiny changed from then on.
Not sure.
Did he promote the birth of a Pokémon Master?
Takumi's ears twitched, showing a little surprise, and then he left with a teleport.
____________
Over Tsurumi Island.
Raiden Ei was there, waiting for Takumi.
"What to do?" Takumi asked with a smile. His tone was normal and casual, as if he were treating an old friend.
Raiden Ei eyes moved away from his face and looked at Tsurumi Island in the sea south of Inazuma:
"Aren't you going to take a look at the designated Inazuma ecological zone?"
"Tsurumi Island has been lost for a long time."
"Something happened to the civilization on the island..."
Takumi waved his hand.
"Do you mean that it is shrouded in fog all year round?"
Raiden Ei said in astonishment, "You know?"
Takumi smiled mysteriously.
"I also know the reason!"
"It's because of the Thunderbird you killed."
"The spirit of the demon cannot rest in peace. It has regrets and hatred. The land of Tsurumi Island is also extremely disordered due to the curse."
"In this case, wouldn't it be good to solve it?"

On Tsurumi Island.
Ruu, the boy who sang softly in the mist.
His singing once attracted the purple Thunderbird to stop.
But the tragedy also began.
The set of sacred relics "Thundering Fury" records the story of Ruu, the Thunderbird, and Tsurumi Island. The Thunderbird was named Kanna Kapatcir by Ruu.
It liked Ruu's singing.
But in ancient times, the people of Tsurumi Island regarded the Thunderbird as the demon god who protected them.
Human sacrifice was a common way of offering in the backward and ignorant civilization at that time.
People thought that the Thunderbird favored Ruu, so they regarded Ruu as a human sacrifice to please their "demon god."
Who knew, when the Thunderbird remembered Ruu's singing and came to look for him, it only saw the mottled blood of the boy on the altar.
And... the fresh sacrificial blood contained in the golden cup!
The Thunderbird was furious. It rained down boundless thunder and instantly annihilated the entire ancient civilization of Tsurumi Island.
Its temperament also became very strange.
It committed evil on Seirai Island.
As a result, it was killed by the Raiden Shogun on Seirai Island.
Seirai Island was ruined. The Amakumo Peak where thunder appeared day and night seemed to record the cry of the Thunderbird in despair and madness at that time.
Takumi was almost overwhelmed by emotion at that time.
The plot of Tsurumi Island also made the overseas player community collectively break down. Countless players performed the melody of Ruu's singing or recorded Tsurumi's emotions with brushstrokes and paintings.
This emotional blow, sharp and heart-piercing, is no less powerful than Teppei's storyline!
"Great!"
"I saved Lady Rosalyne."
"The egg gift just now also changed Teppei fate."
"Let's talk about Ruu again. Isn't the job content of this 'dagger collector' very reasonable?"
With the idea of being the one who collected these emotional daggers, Takumi took the lead and landed near the Statue of The Seven on Tsurumi Island.
There were broken boats, footprints, and some domestic garbage. Apparently, adventurers have been landing on the island in recent years, trying to uncover the mystery of Tsurumi Island.
The Raiden Shogun descended and raised her eyebrows, saying:
"The degree of disorder in the ley lines here is unimaginable..."
Takumi said, "Otherwise? How could it be that for thousands of years, day and night, the cycle has never stopped?"
At this time, Cresselia's voice sounded in his heart:
"Takumi~"
"I found him. There is a child at the intersection ahead. He is... very strange!"
Takumi didn't waste time and teleported again.

On the hillside, there was a simple boy wearing a straw hat.
His face was full of worry.
He looked at the purple lightning that flickered from time to time in the thick fog.
"Is it about to thunder again?"
Ruu sighed.
Every time there is periodic thunder, everything on the island cycles again.
Therefore, Ruu has been locked in this cycle for a thousand years.
But he still did not give up.
"We must, we must find a way to save everyone!"
"As long as the sacrifice is completed!"
"Calm down the wrath of the Thunderbird, and everyone will be saved..."
The words trailed off.
A deep voice sounded:
"No, you are wrong."
"The Thunderbird is angry because of you, not because the sacrifice is not completed."
Ruu turned around upon hearing the voice. He was not afraid at all of the strange visitors from outside the island.
Over the past thousand years, Ruu had seen too many visitors from outside the island.
There were gold seekers.
There were adventurers.
But without exception.
No one could help him escape from this day-to-day cycle of reincarnation.
"Angry because of me?"
Ruu was stunned.
"Yes."
"The Thunderbird loves your song and the name you gave it... Kanna Kapatcir!"
"That day, it saw you being killed as a tribute!"
"It thundered and raged, annihilating the entire Tsurumi Island, and everyone died!"
Ruu's clear eyes reflected Takumi's figure. When he heard this, his pupils widened in shock.
No one had ever told him this story!
As a revealer of secrets, Takumi didn't feel any guilt at this moment.
He stared as Ruu's face was suddenly stained with sadness but soon revealed a gentle smile.
"So, is that really what happened?"
Ruu murmured.
The boy had no tears.
The thousand-year mystery had been revealed.
Ruu, trapped in the cyclic timeline, only felt a sense of relief and complexity...
"It turns out I'm already dead."
"It turns out that Kanna Kapatcir... it was because of me!"
Takumi continued:
"Nowadays, Tsurumi Island's ley lines are in chaos, with endless cycles and fog."
"In fact, it is the curse cast by Kanna Kapatcir."
"The souls on the island are unable to rest in peace."
"So, Ruu, use your singing voice to eliminate Kanna Kapatcir's resentment, so that your friends, family, and the people of Tsurumi Island can be freed."
"Only then can the land of Tsurumi Island emerge from disaster and glow with new vitality!"
He directly revealed the final means to solve the problem.
No unnecessary words, no delays.
Now that we know the answer to the mystery, why bother going through a cumbersome process?
Taking Ruu directly to Seirai Island and Amakumo Peak—wouldn't that be great?
The storyline of Tsurumi Island is in the plotline.
Ruu can leave the land of Tsurumi. He is a very special existence now. He seems to be dead but not dead and seems to be alive but not alive. The reason why Kanna Kapatcir went crazy later and caused chaos is probably related to the fact that it poured too much power into Ruu, causing severe wear and tear.
Therefore, the deceased Ruu can also come back to life in a special form.
"Sure!" Ruu said without hesitation. "As long as Kanna Kapatcir wants to listen, I will sing for it!"
The Raiden Shogun on the side watched the whole process.
She looked at Ruu with deep eyes.
This is a... person who should not exist in this world!
Takumi asked Cresselia to carry Ruu with psychic powers and then headed towards Seirai Island, teleporting.

Amakumo Peak!
There is lightning and thunder here all year round.
The surrounding landscape can be described as majestic and precipitous, with strong Electro elements that are tangible.
Takumi took Ruu to a hillside, where they could look up at the floating island in the sky surrounded by thunder and lightning.
Takumi nodded to Ruu:
"Kanna Kapatcir is right up there."
Ruu, wearing a straw hat, stepped forward and began singing.
There were no lyrics.
Just humming a melody.
But the boy's voice was clean and clear.
After hearing this, Raiden Ei face became moved.
Her true spirit was actually touched?
This child's singing voice... can actually touch the true spirit of the "demon god" and even touch the cracks caused by wear and tear on it?
"No wonder Kanna Kapatcir once favored and loved this child so much," Lumine sighed.
Suddenly, Lumine was stunned.
Following Ruu's singing, a cluster of purple feathers slowly fell from the floating island and was held by Ruu in his hands.
Takumi was also slightly surprised.
**Kanna Kapatcir's Long-cherished Wish Feather**
- **Description:** It is the last remaining spirit of the Purple Thunderbird and seems to be the source of power for Ruu's existence today.
- **Grade/Level:** God-level
- **Notes:** Equip it on a Pokémon or consume it.
- If it is an Electric-type Pokémon, it will gain some of Kanna Kapatcir's incomplete powers.
- If it is a non-Electric-type Pokémon, it will awaken the Electric attribute and gain powers.

"Nice one!"
"However, this god-level resource is the last remnant of a demon god."
"In this feather..."
"Ruu's spirit and the Thunderbird's spirit merged with each other."
"If it is consumed and used, the spirits of man and Thunderbird will eventually turn into dust and completely disappear from this world!"
Hey, god-level resources.
Takumi had probably found a pattern.
The remaining resources of the demon gods?
Or, as long as there is a trace of a story related to a demon god left and not eroded by time and years, he can dig out usable resources? Then Takumi has a bunch of treasure-hunting routes in his mind!
Therefore, there is no need to worry about this long-cherished feather of Kanna Kapatcir.
He is here to collect the emotional daggers and save Ruu.
And now it seems that Kanna Kapatcir is not completely dead and there is hope to live in another form.
After all.
There is the example of the Stove God Lord Marax, who became the cute Guoba today.

Returning to Tsurumi Island.
After easily obtaining another four ordinary Thunderbird feathers.
In Shirikoro Peak.
The Thunderbird's perch within the mountain was covered with purple branches and leaves in the blink of an eye after thousands of years.
The fog has dissipated.
The ancient souls on the island are also freed from the recurring timeline.
Those souls are still shouting, "A ship is coming to pick us up!" "Hurry up and get on the boat, or the elder will be angry."
Takumi rubbed the head of Ruu, the boy wearing a straw hat:
"Don't worry."
"It's impossible to make you disappear!"
With a thought in his mind, Lugia, Jirachi, Meloetta, and Cresselia, who were connected to him, all emerged from their Poké Balls. The four divine beasts surrounded Ruu in the mountain body of Shirikoro Peak.
"Imbue with divine power!"
Takumi gave the order.
The winds and waves were high around Tsurumi Island, which was a sign of Lugia's expansion of authority.
During the day, meteors flashed past.
This was Jirachi's wish-granting power.
On the island, the rhythm of singing and dancing flowed out, which was the excitement of Meloetta's divine power.
As for Cresselia, it was more straightforward, summoning a crescent moon beam out of thin air and letting it fall on Ruu.
Ruu, who had just opened his mouth to say goodbye, was stunned, with shock on his face.
That feather of Kanna Kapatcir's long-cherished wish.
Suddenly, there was a clear and cheerful cry.
"Chirp~~!"
