A fierce wind was blowing outside, and Xiao Mao's hair was disheveled in the wind.
"That's really impressive."
Xiao Mao took out a high-grade ball from his waist bag and opened it.
Baton!
"Aww!!"
A dazzling, fiery red figure appeared at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.
"Molotov, let's go to Asia Island!" said Shigeru.
The flamingo spread its wings and flew into the sky, undisturbed by the raging winds.
"Holy crap! Moltres!"
"Who is that trainer? He actually caught Moltres."
"Holy crap!! I forgot to take a picture!!"
The people at the Pokémon Center were all bewildered. In the eyes of the people of the Orange Islands, the three legendary birds symbolized totems.
In their eyes, a trainer who can control the three legendary birds is the top trainer.
"Who exactly is this boy?" Officer Jenny, who had been freed, was also incredulous. She never imagined that a mere 0.3-star boy like Gary could actually control the legendary Pokémon Moltres.
Inside the hall, a girl was stunned. This girl was naturally Xiaozhuang. She had thought that Xiaoshi's strength was only stronger than Xiaozhi's, but she did not expect that Xiaoshi even had a legendary Pokémon.
At this moment, Shigeru had already taken to the sky on his firebird. The dark sky above cast a shadow over Shigeru's heart.
"Can Moltres clear up the sky?" Shigeru asked.
"Awoo!" Moltres shook its head to indicate that it could not.
While Moltres has the ability to alter the climate, it's only slightly stronger than ordinary Pokémon. At most, it can only change the climate within a radius of a hundred miles. Moltres has no ability to change the climate of an entire area like this.
"Then keep flying, but remember to be careful, your ancestors might start fighting," Xiao Mao said.
Moltres: "Huh? (O_o)??"
182: Operating in secret, pursued by the three divine birds.
Three islands off the coast of Asia are home to three sacred birds with divine names, who are the ancestors of all other sacred birds.
Of course, if a younger generation can surpass them, they can replace them, but that's highly unlikely.
Because the three sacred birds, who are stationed on the three islands, cannot leave the Orange Islands, they are responsible for stabilizing the ocean currents in the Orange Islands region. While possessing the name of a god is certainly powerful, the price they pay is that they cannot leave the Orange Islands, which is quite tragic.
And this moment.
Moltres and Zapdos, who are known as the gods of fire and thunder respectively, have been captured by Gilruta and imprisoned in his flying palace.
Ash and his friends, along with Team Rocket, were also in the Flying Palace, launching an attack on the cage that was trapping Moltres and Zapdos.
More than ten kilometers away, Shigeru rode his Moltres toward Asia Island, seeing many Pokémon migrating along the way.
The subtropical climate of the Orange Islands is turning cold, and the elves living there have no choice but to leave, otherwise they simply cannot survive.
28 “I saw it!”
With his binoculars in hand, Shigeru quickly spotted Gilluta's flying palace perched on the island of fire.
Three figures—red, yellow, and blue—can be seen in the sky; these are the three sacred birds. Mistakenly believing that the other side has occupied their territory, the three sacred birds are enraged and immediately launch an attack, indiscriminately assaulting anyone who dares to approach them.
"Molotov, fly around us, let's go to Ice Island." Gary didn't want to clash head-on with the three legendary birds.
Xiao Mao also wanted to see the level of the three legendary birds, but he dared not get close. Although he did not know the level of these three birds, their strength was definitely at the level of legendary Pokémon.
Champion-level Pokémon can one-shot Pokémon below the Elite Four level, not to mention Legendary Pokémon. All of Gary's Pokémon were one-shotted by the three legendary birds.
"Aww!"
Moltres knew how terrifying its three ancestors were. After all, when it flew around, it had come to the Orange Islands and witnessed the majesty of its ancestors. So it dared not be presumptuous.
Xiao Mao wasn't too afraid, but the key issue was that Moltres's affinity with him wasn't at its maximum. If it really came down to a life-or-death situation, he might end up losing to Moltres.
After flying a considerable distance, Shigeru and Moltres finally arrived at Ice Island and went straight to the top of the island. The altars here were all made of polished stone, with a layer of solid ice on the surface. Inside was a stone statue of Articuno, also covered with a layer of ice, with a transparent bead in its beak.
"This is it!"
"Bah!"
Gary and Eevee jumped off Moltres.
Upon landing, Shigeru immediately felt his foot slip. If Ibu hadn't used his mental powers to stabilize Shigeru's body, he would have definitely fallen.
Without wasting a word, Shigeru immediately walked up to the Articuno statue, took the Ice Treasure from the statue's beak, and quickly jumped onto Moltres's back, preparing to sneak around to the shrine on Asia Island.
“Ahhh~!”
A cry rang out, startling Xiao Mao.
Moltres did the same, immediately taking flight and then seeing a giant Articuno flying towards it. The Ice God Articuno was enormous, twice the size of Gary's Moltres.
In any case, the three legendary birds that possess the title of gods are all twice the size of the normal legendary birds.
【LV100 Articuno/God-tier】
I go!
Upon seeing Articuno's level, Gary was stunned. Level 100, and with god-level potential, this was simply an opponent that Gary could not face at present.
"Molotov, run!" Gary shouted hurriedly.
"Awoo." The firebird also saw that the Ice God was eyeing it, and immediately took off. However, due to the difference in size, the Ice God quickly closed the distance.
The most dangerous thing is that the God of Ice is followed by the God of Fire and the God of Thunder, who are chasing each other and fighting each other.
"Why are you chasing me?" Xiao Mao wondered to himself, even though he had gone through a long and roundabout process with her.
"Could it be... because of this?" Xiao Mao looked at the Ice Treasure in his hand. It was a transparent bead before, but now it was shimmering with blue energy.
"Awoo!" After closing in to within attack range, the Ice God behind him unleashed a beam of freezing light. Even before the beam got close, one could feel the surrounding temperature begin to drop.
"Use Flamethrower!" Shigeru immediately retorted.
Moltres immediately retaliated with a burst of flames, but the flames were extinguished by the freezing beam. Moltres sensed the deadly cold air and quickly rose, barely dodging the attack of the Ice God.
However, the next moment, a flame shot out, and the God of Fire fired a flame at the God of Ice, knocking him down. The next second, a bolt of lightning struck the God of Fire, and the God of Lightning took the opportunity to ambush the God of Fire, knocking him down as well.
"Stop taking detours, fly straight to Asia Island!" Xiao Mao immediately ordered. Now that they've been discovered, there's no need to take a detour; the important thing is to get the Ice Treasure to the shrine on Asia Island as quickly as possible.
Moltres immediately changed direction and flew away, but Thunder God had no intention of letting Ash and Moltres go, and immediately launched a bolt of lightning at them.
"Blastoise, use Protect!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.
Baton!
"Kami!!"
Blastoise emerged from its Poké Ball and landed squarely on the path of the lightning attack, then used Protect.
boom! !
The lightning struck 523, shattering the Barrier and blasting Blastoise away, leaving Gary no time to recall it to its Poké Ball.
Blastoise sustained minor injuries and barely managed to withstand the Thunder God's attack, but since Blastoise cannot fly, its body plummeted towards the frozen sea below.
"Blastoise will use a high-speed spin to enter the water and lie in wait. When the opportunity arises, use Water Pulse to launch a sneak attack. Remember, stall for time and avoid direct confrontation," Gary said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Blastoise unleashed a high-speed spin and charged rapidly toward the ice surface.
Although he successfully withstood the attack of the Thunder God, the Thunder God had no intention of letting Xiao Shi go. Just as he was about to launch another attack, a flame shot out and hit him.
"God of Fire! YYDS!!"
Xiao Mao was overjoyed. This God of Fire was practically one of his own, first helping him fight the God of Ice, and then the God of Thunder.
"Aww!!"
After the God of Fire defeated the God of Thunder, his eyes glanced at Gary and Moltres.
"No way... I'm riding a Moltres, and you're attacking my own people too?" Shigeru noticed the Fire God's gaze and immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Articuno, use Mist!" Gary didn't dare to gamble and immediately released Articuno.
Baton!
When Articuno came out and saw its three ancestors, it immediately felt a chill and was so frightened that it spat out a white mist.
Chapter 183: Lugia Appears to the Rescue
"Articuno, just fight it out. If you can't beat them, just hide in the sea," said Gary.
"Aww!!"
Articuno was in a real bind. It had only been a few days with Gary, and its first battle was against its own ancestor. What a disaster for Articuno!
"Molotov Cryo, fly that way!" Gary quickly commanded.
The flamingo immediately used its high-speed movement ability, heading towards Asia Island at its fastest speed ever.
Shigeru, using his binoculars, also spotted the altar on a small island off the coast of Asia Island, as well as the stone niche and Ash and his friends.
...!
On the small island of altars on the outskirts of Asia Island, Ash and his friends were fretting over the lack of an Ice Treasure and were gazing in the direction of Ice Island when they soon spotted a figure flying rapidly toward them from afar.
"Someone's coming!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise.
“That… is Moltres.” As a Pokémon observer, Jian immediately recognized it as Moltres from its silhouette and color.
"Really? Why is the Moltres a bit small?" Flura asked, puzzled.
“Yes, it is a bit small,” Xiao Jian said.
"No, that's another firebird, not the God of Fire, and there's a person on its back." The Hippo King, being an elf, clearly saw the figure in the distance.
"What! Another Moltres!!"
"There's someone else, who is it?"
"Fruula, do you know?"
