I caught a Pokémon

Before anyone could react, Slowking had already stretched out his palm and pointed to a stone tablet in the altar.

"Put the treasure there."

"It...it spoke!" Xiao Jian pointed at it, his face full of surprise. "This Stupid King can actually speak human language!?"

In fact, everyone present was already used to talking Pokémon, whether it was Team Rocket's Meowth or Xia You's Haunter.

But after all, only a few Pokémon can speak human language, and no one expected that one would be hidden here!

After thinking for a moment, Flura said, "I heard my sister say before that there is indeed a magical Slowking on Asia Island, but I have never met it. I didn't expect it to have been living here all this time."

Seeing that Ash was still standing there in a daze, Slowking repeated himself.

"Put the treasure there."

"Huh? Oh."

Ash then came to his senses, walked to the stone tablet, took out the two beads he got from Fire Island and Thunder Island, and placed them in a groove.

However, seeing that there were only two beads, Slowking went closer and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Two? No, no, the ritual cannot be completed without collecting all three treasures."

While they were talking, Xia You, having nothing to do, turned her head to look around at her surroundings.

Geographically, this altar is located on the opposite side of the island of Asia, to the south and north of the town. Facing the three islands, it is entirely constructed of rock and surrounded by hibiscus flowers. Its age is unknown.

He turned away, intending to speak to Sabrina, but found her observing the Slowking with great interest.

"What's wrong? Are you interested in it?"

Sabrina nodded slightly: "Yes, it is indeed a rare Psychic Pokémon."

As a travel companion, Sabrina wanted to capture this rare Slowking, and Xia You naturally agreed.

After all, as a gym leader, she needs to expand her Pokémon roster after traveling for so many days.

However, Xia You didn't remember what role this Slowking played in the story. Just to be on the safe side, he whispered in Sabrina's ear, "The timing isn't right. Don't worry about it for now. I think you can capture it after this is over!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Slowking in front of the stone tablet seemed to sense something, slowly turned around, and looked in their direction.

Their eyes met, and looking at the man and woman with ill intentions, for some reason, Dazed King suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and had a very bad feeling.

Seeing that it seemed to have noticed something, Xia You coughed lightly. In order to avoid Dazed King noticing and running away in advance, she could only pull Sabrina away to another place.

It was only then that he realized how quiet it was around him, as if something was missing.

Turning around to look around, I realized that the Rockets had disappeared without a trace!

These guys... they really know how to seize any opportunity...

They must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape!

At this moment, above Thunder Island, the God of Thunder, the God of Fire, and the God of Ice somehow fought closer and closer, and the battlefield slowly shifted to the vicinity of Asia Island!

Everyone frowned.

If they continue forward, they will inevitably affect the island's inhabitants, who will be the first to be caught up in the battle once again.

Just when things were in crisis, the waterspout that had just disappeared reappeared!

Suddenly, the waterspout broke through the ice and blocked the three Pokémon's path, forcing them back!

As the waterspout dissipated, scattering into countless water droplets, a strange white Pokémon appeared high in the sky!

Chapter 215 Lugia

"It's Lugia!!"

Flura exclaimed its name, her heart filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry. She was happy that Lugia had finally appeared and saved them at this critical moment, but she was worried that the battle had reached this point, and would it really end as described in the fable?

Looking at this Pokémon he had never seen before, Ash was surprised and murmured, "This... is this Lugia, the god of the sea?"

As one of the rarest legendary Pokémon in the world, Lugia usually lies dormant at the bottom of a deep ocean trench.

It is said that it can cause storms lasting up to 40 days with just a slight flap of its wings. Because of its immense power, it also possesses the amazing ability to suppress the turbulent sea. Therefore, whenever there is a storm, people will contact it immediately.

But for everyone, regardless of the outcome, at least they saw this legendary Pokémon, which made the trip worthwhile.

At this moment, on the battlefield, when the powerful enemy appeared, the God of Ice, the God of Fire, and the God of Thunder seemed to have temporarily abandoned their internal strife and instead focused their attention on this uninvited guest who had interfered.

Lugia let out a loud cry, once again uttering that ethereal sound.

It seemed that it really wanted to stop the war, but unfortunately, the three divine birds remained unmoved, neither responding nor showing any intention to stop.

For a moment, the four Pokémon seemed to have calmed down, but their auras had already clashed!

Crackling sounds! It seemed as if an invisible force was locked in combat in the air.

Glug...

The tense atmosphere made Xiao Jian on the altar swallow hard.

After a few seconds of silence, the impatient God of Thunder finally lost his temper and made the first move.

It flapped its wings and unleashed a bolt of electricity at Lugia, seemingly signaling the start of an attack. Seeing this, the Ice God and the Fire God followed suit, launching a simultaneous surprise attack on Lugia.

Faced with lightning, fire, and frost, Lugia spun around and flew into the sky to evade, and while the powerful attacks grazed past it, it did not forget to retaliate.

However, it was outnumbered and outmatched. Although its individual strength was superior to any of the Pokémon present, it was still at a significant disadvantage when it was suppressed by the three legendary birds.

"This is really a headache." After looking for a long time, Dazai sighed. "The sea god only appears when it is about to be destroyed, but it seems that even it cannot stop the world from being destroyed."

Hearing him say that, Xia You, who was keeping a close eye on the battlefield, narrowed his eyes and his mind raced. After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

"We can't wait any longer, Ash. Let's split up. You go to the last ice island and get the treasure as soon as possible. If the legend is true and Flaura's flute does have the effect of calming anger, then we can only use it to stop these guys!"

"I understand!" Xiao Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. But just as he was about to leave, he saw Xia You still standing there and couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Aren't you coming with me?"

"No." As Xia You spoke, she took out three Super Balls from her waist. "I'll stay here to hold them off. This will help Lugia relieve some pressure and buy you some time!"

"Hold them back?" But Flura, who was standing nearby, shook her head when she heard this. "It's no use. They're too strong. Ordinary Pokémon can't help them at all!"

“Ordinary Pokémon…” Xia You chuckled, not refuting her, but turning to stare intently at Ash. “Alright, hurry up and go. Remember, your mission is very important. You must return safely with the treasure!”

Xiao Zhi knew the situation was very serious, so he said solemnly, "Don't worry, leave this to me!"

With that, he turned his hat around, grabbed Pikachu, and left without looking back!

In his hands, Xia You could feel his Pokémon inside the three Ultra Balls were already itching to move, and there were no outsiders here. They had been holding back for so long, there was no need for them to hide any longer.

Heh heh, now it's my turn to show off my skills!

With that thought in mind, he decisively threw the Great Ball high into the air and shouted, "Come out, my Pokémon!!"

Aside from Sabrina, to everyone's astonishment, three blue lights flashed, and three other legendary Pokémon appeared in mid-air!

Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise: "Motablet!? Zapdos!? Articuno!?"

Xiao Jian felt a chill run down his spine: "Unbelievable! It's the legendary Three Sacred Birds again!?"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as they stared in disbelief at the three soaring Pokémon!

In fact, during the previous Giant Tentacruel incident, Xiaoxia had vaguely guessed that the Zapdos that appeared at that time might be related to Xia You, but she never expected that in addition to Zapdos, Xia You had also caught two other Pokémon!

Ash, who hadn't gone far, heard the sound behind him and quickly turned around. When he saw the three legendary Pokémon that were indeed there, he was stunned for a moment.

Xia... Xia You has actually subdued the Three Sacred Birds?

When exactly did this happen?!

Unbeknownst to them, the gap between them has widened to this extent without them even realizing it!

Of all the people, the one who was most shocked was actually Fulura.

To the islanders of Asia, the gods of thunder, fire, and ice are sacred and inviolable, but she never imagined that Xia You would have their kind!

She looked at Xia You in disbelief, a question rising in her mind.

Who exactly is he?

At the center of attention, Xia You, unaware of everyone's thoughts, saw Lugia being attacked repeatedly. He waved his hand and commanded, "Moblins, Articuno, Zapdos, go! Let's cause some chaos!"

A whoosh!

Upon hearing the command, the three sacred birds circled a few times and flew straight toward the three divine birds.

At this moment, Flura finally came to her senses and quickly grabbed Xia You's sleeve.

"Wait a minute!" she said anxiously. "If it's really like you said before, and a more intense battle breaks out, wouldn't it cause even greater damage to the environment in other areas?!"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Xia You turned to look at her and said with a wry smile, "But just because we're afraid of damaging the environment, are we just going to sit idly by? As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one. I'd rather cut the Gordian knot and resolve this matter as soon as possible! Besides, nature has a very strong ability to regulate itself. While we fear it, we must also believe that it can create miracles!"

Chapter 216 The Battle of Seven Legendary Pokémon

On the battlefield, the four legendary Pokémon that were fighting had already noticed the three legendary birds that had suddenly appeared.

The three legendary birds were the first to stop, cautiously observing their kind, wondering where they had come from and what their purpose was. Lugia, in turn, gained a temporary respite.

Unexpectedly, when the three sacred birds arrived, they did not communicate at all, but instead launched an attack on the three divine birds!

This completely enraged the three divine birds!

Are they here to seize territory? Or to cause trouble? Why didn't they even give us a heads-up?!

Without time to think, the three legendary birds, already fiercely territorial, were even more unwilling to hold back. They abandoned Lugia and engaged the three legendary birds in battle.

Fire against fire, frost against frost, and lightning naturally set its sights on lightning as well!

In an instant, six bird-like Pokémon chased each other in the sky, their various moves clashing and bursting forth with dazzling light.

However, it must be said that these three legendary birds of the Orange Islands are truly formidable. Although they can be easily captured by collectors, the destructive power of their moves should not be underestimated.

After just a few rounds, apart from Xia You's Moltres which was still evenly matched, Articuno and Zapdos had gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position!

However, Xia You was not too surprised by this, nor did she seem flustered. After all, this was not an official competition. If you couldn't beat someone in a one-on-one fight, you could team up or use a roundabout approach to restrain them. There was no need to adhere to rigid rules in the battle.

He surveyed the battlefield and finally focused his gaze on the God of Ice.

As the saying goes, you pick the softest persimmon to squeeze; in a group fight, you naturally need to concentrate your firepower on the weakest one!

This doesn't mean that the Ice God is the weakest of the three divine birds. In fact, each of them is extremely powerful. The reason they targeted the Ice God was simply because of their elemental attributes!

Moltres is the most powerful of his three legendary birds. With fire over ice, it undoubtedly has the advantage against the Ice God. Moreover, with the help of the other two Pokémon, it can outnumber the Ice God and defeat it quickly.

Thinking of this, he released Gardevoir.

Because they are too far apart, the sound cannot travel that far to give commands by shouting. Therefore, Gardevoir's telepathy is needed to directly transmit thoughts to their minds.

Gardevoir gently supported Xia You with one arm, while its gaze locked onto the three legendary birds.

Xia You thought to herself, "Molotov, stop bothering that Fire God and hurry up and deal with the Ice God. Zapdos, you go help too; your Electric-type moves are also effective against Flying-types. As for Articuno, you're in charge of holding off the other two for now. Don't let them get close to help until we defeat the Ice God!"

Through Xia You's coordination, the three sacred birds changed targets and each performed its own duties.

At this moment, Xia You said to Gardevoir beside her, "Connect your telepathic connection to Lugia."

Gardevoir nodded, its gaze shifting to Lugia.

'Lugia, I am the trainer of the three legendary birds. I need your help now. Please join my Articuno in temporarily holding off the Fire God and the Thunder God!'

The next second, a neutral voice rang in Xia You's mind. It was Lugia who had also activated telepathy!

'I see, so you're the one in charge?'

"No, I'm not." Xia You denied it directly. "I'm just a trainer who happened to be on this island. The commander should refer to my companion; he's already gone to Ice Island to retrieve the last treasure. But now's not the time to dwell on that. I think even ordinary people can do their part in this kind of crisis!"

"I see." After a moment of silence, Lugia said, "You're right, I understand. I will help stop the God of Thunder and the God of Fire, to buy time for the Commander's return."

With the addition of the three legendary birds, Lugia's pressure has been greatly reduced, and he can finally focus more on offense.

It opened its mouth, energy condensed within, and then a huge water cannon shot fiercely towards the God of Fire.

Bang!

Faced with such a nimble attack, the God of Fire could only dodge, but because he was too close to Lugia, he was still grazed on half of his body.

It let out a mournful cry, its body trembled, and enduring the pain, it flew into the sky!

With just one strike, Lugia injured the Fire God. Although there was the factor of water being able to overcome fire, it still showed that Lugia's strength was indeed superior to any other Pokémon present!

On the other side, Xia You's Moltres and Zapdos had sandwiched the Ice God in the middle. One of them frequently used Flamethrower, while the other kept hitting with Electric Shock, leaving the Ice God attacked from both sides and unable to defend itself.

Despite the Ice God's intense fighting spirit and strength, it only has one pair of eyes, which inevitably leads to oversights. As a result, it is frequently ambushed by Moltres or Zapdos, and its stamina is running low!
