Chapter 36
Luna's Request
General P.O.V.
After making sure no one was nearby, Luna turned to look at Lia. They both knew this was a serious situation, considering why Luna was on the mainland in the first place.
"Did you already find a bearer for the fragment?" Lia asked, noticing she wasn't wearing it.
Luna nodded.
"It turns out that Jolt was compatible with the Relic Fragment" Luna explained. "It chose him to be its guardian. I explained a few things he should know to succeed if our plan falls through and Darkrai succeeds. I just hope that he'll be able to have the courage to do what is needed."
Lia nodded.
"I'm sure that he will" Lia answered. "You just have to have faith in him."
Luna nodded.
"Now, what was this urgent meeting for?" Lia asked. "Giratina wouldn't tell me anything."
Luna sighed.
"I have a favor to ask of you" Luna explained. "One that could put your life at risk, but it's also something that I know only you can do."
Lia nodded.
"What do you want me to do?" Lia asked.
Luna sighed.
"I want you to keep tabs on Darkrai" Luna explained. "I need you to watch his movements and delay him as long as possible if you can. This should also help you find clues needed to track down my father. He has to be keeping him at a location that he travels to frequently. I need you to figure out where that is. If we can find him, then we have a greater chance of finishing Darkrai once and for all."
Lia nodded.
"I understand your point" Lia said. "Being Darkrai's opposite, I can easily track him where others cannot. It would be easier for me to do this than any other Pokémon. Other Pokémon wouldn't be able to as close to him as I would."
Luna nodded.
"Exactly, Lia" Luna said. "This is a task that I can only entrust to you. Will you do it?"
Lia smiled softly.
"Do you even need to ask" Lia said. "Of course I'll do it. You just watch things from your end and I'll watch things on mine."
Luna nodded.
"Just be careful" Luna warned. "You never know what he could be up to."
Lia nodded.
"I know, but don't forget who I am" Lia said. "I know all of his tricks, so I'll be fine. Just worry about your godfather."
Luna nodded.
"I will" Luna answered. "I wish you well in your task."
Lia nodded.
"As do I in yours, Glacia" Lia answered. "Let us hope that this isn't the last time we will meet."
Luna nodded and watched as Lia disappeared from sight. She sighed and then walked back to the beach where Kita was waiting for her. She noticed her approach and also saw that the pendant was missing.
"So who did the fragment choose?" Kita asked.
Luna smiled.
"It seems that it chose Jolt" Luna answered. "I knew he had a pure heart, but I didn't know that it was pure enough that the fragment would want him as its guardian."
Kita nodded as Luna got on.
"At least we know that it will be in safe hands if there's ever a need for it to be used" Kita said.
Luna nodded.
"I just hope that it doesn't come to that" Luna said. "I don't want to put in anymore danger than possible. He's like a little brother to me and I want to protect him as much as possible."
