I caught a Pokémon

Perhaps out of instinct, the Thunder God subconsciously wanted to rescue the Ice God, but it was blocked by Articuno when it flew halfway there.

Xia You looked around and nodded slightly.

Excellent. If we can defeat the Ice God first, we can firmly control the situation.

Thinking of this, he also took a moment to glance at Ash.

At this moment, Ash actually took out a piece of the ship's plank from the wreckage and used it as a stepping stone. Pulled by Charizard, he moved towards Ice Island like a ski.

However, to avoid the aftershocks of attacks, one must constantly change direction, so his speed is not as fast as one might imagine.

However, as the situation on the battlefield was developing in a positive direction, Xia You was no longer in such a hurry to obtain the treasure.

However, at that moment, dozens of iron rings flew out from the frozen Thunder Island volcano and surrounded Lugia!

These iron rings emitted electric light, and in just a moment, they bound Lugia in mid-air.

Oops!

It was that collector who made the move!

Actually, it's not entirely Xia You's fault for being careless and forgetting about the collector.

In the rush to leave the area where the explosion might occur, no one cared about his life or death. They thought he would perish with the spaceship. They never expected that he would survive such a disaster and would even cause trouble at this moment!

It must have seen Lugia appear that made them disregard everything and try to capture it!

In mid-air, Lugia let out a painful scream, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape the restraints of these iron rings!

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Xia You frowned deeply.

Lugia was unable to move, and the battle situation was completely reversed in an instant!

Moreover, he had already experienced the hardness of the iron ring before. Even if he wanted the firebirds to destroy it, not only would they give up the rare opportunity to suppress the Ice God, but the three divine birds probably wouldn't sit idly by!

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

His mind raced, and he knew that he could not hesitate at this moment and had to make a decision immediately.

'Zetzart! Articuno! Moltres! Things have come to this; we must defeat at least one of the three legendary birds before they unite! It seems we can't hold back any longer; let's unleash our ultimate attack!!'

Chapter 217 Doomsday Scene

The three sacred birds abandoned their respective goals and simultaneously climbed upwards, disappearing into the depths of the clouds!

The three divine birds were left completely bewildered, wondering why, during the battle, these creatures of their kind had all left the battlefield at the same time.

However, they did not choose to pursue rashly, but instead cautiously looked up at the sky.

The next second, dark clouds rapidly gathered and grew larger and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, they completely covered the entire sky!

It's important to understand that this doesn't just cover a single island, but rather a vast area of ​​sea spanning over two hundred kilometers, all obscured by massive dark clouds!

Originally, the sky was already quite gloomy after the chaos caused by the three divine birds, but now it was even darker, with not a single ray of sunlight able to penetrate!

A slight breeze caused by changes in air pressure ruffled everyone's bangs.

Xiaoxia tightened her clothes, feeling the weather was truly frightening, as if the oppressive atmosphere made it hard for her to breathe. She couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Brother Xiayou, what exactly are you going to do?"

Out of curiosity, Flura and Xiao Jian also focused their attention on Xia You.

Xia You patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder and chuckled, "I'm planning to use an extremely powerful combination technique, but... although the three sacred birds have practiced it a few times in private, to be honest, we're still in the adjustment phase and have only succeeded once. If it weren't for this crucial moment, I wouldn't want to use it lightly, so... you'd better take some precautions..."

Hearing him say that, Xiaoxia and the others felt a headache coming on, sensing that things were a bit unreliable, but they could only release their Pokémon and remain on guard.

Seeing that Flurra didn't have any Pokémon, Misty even released Starmie to protect Flurra.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall all around, and everyone knew that this was a sign of an impending blizzard. Meanwhile, thunder rumbled but did not strike, indicating that terrifying lightning was gathering in the dark clouds.

Xiaoxia wondered to herself, "Could it be a blizzard and thunder?"

She knew that Pokémon would cause changes in the world when they unleashed their powerful moves, but she had never seen such a large dark cloud before!

In the midst of the battlefield, in just a short time, the three divine birds were covered in snowflakes.

When these snowflakes come into contact with the body, they are melted by the body heat, turning into water droplets that slowly wet and soak their feathers.

Click, click, click!

When the power was built up to its peak, with a series of thunderclaps, lightning streaked across the sky. However, to Xiaoxia's surprise, this thunderclap was not like other thunderclaps where there was only one lightning bolt. Instead, more than a dozen smaller bolts of lightning fell at the same time, striking the four legendary Pokémon present!

At the same time, Xia You whispered, "They're here!"

The three divine birds tried their best to dodge, but because they were already in mid-air with no cover and their bodies were covered with water droplets, the lightning seemed to have eyes and struck them precisely!

Ugh!

The God of Ice and the God of Fire let out a wail. Fortunately, because their power was dispersed, these lightning bolts, although they looked terrifying, were not as deadly as they had imagined.

Despite this, they still plummeted towards the sea. Only the God of Thunder, whose attributes were halved, seemed to be in relatively good condition. However, this was not the end of the story. Just as the lightning disappeared, a fierce blizzard swept in and surrounded them once again.

This time, the God of Ice suffered only half the damage, while the God of Fire and the God of Thunder cried out in pain!

However, it must be said that as truly legendary Pokémon, they have extremely high stamina and managed to survive despite being attacked twice.

At this moment, however, they were in extremely poor condition. Each one was covered in wounds and was panting heavily. Their feathers were disheveled, and they seemed to have reached their limit!

"Sigh! What a pity..." Xiaoxia sighed. She thought she could defeat the three divine birds in one fell swoop.

"Don't rush," Xia You said calmly. "It's not over yet, there's one last blow!"

Hearing him say that, Xiaoxia looked up at the sky and sure enough, she saw a huge ball of fire, like the sun, suddenly breaking through the dark clouds and falling straight down!

"What is that!?" Flura exclaimed in surprise. "Is it a shooting star!?"

“No.” Xia You shook her head. “It’s a move from Moltres. It uses Burnout, and because it’s coming down from high above, it creates a meteor-like effect.”

As they were talking, the Moltres had already fallen to a distance of only a few dozen meters from the ground.

On the ice, sensing the threat, the injured three divine birds tried to leave, but before they could even flap their wings, the firebird crashed heavily into the Thunder God!

boom!!

The flames suddenly exploded, and the scorching heat wave directly shattered and melted the ice layer. Then, a storm mixed with countless water droplets and gas erupted violently from the center and spread rapidly in all directions!

call!

A strong wind blew past Xia You and the others, nearly causing them to fall, and the ice shards it kicked up made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Fortunately, the ice and impurities mixed in were blocked by the Pokémon around them, preventing them from being affected by the battle.

The strong winds blew very far.

As the air currents slowly dissipated, Xia You and the others hurriedly looked towards the battlefield.

The originally frozen sea surface was burned into a crater several hundred meters long, and the God of Thunder was completely unconscious and had lost all fighting ability, floating on the sea surface.

Beside it, a molten bird flew in mid-air, looking somewhat out of breath.

Although this move, Burnout, is not particularly significant in normal use, diving down from such a height, despite the increased speed, is somewhat like inflicting heavy damage on oneself as well, and it also depletes one's own stamina.

Actually, Xia You originally intended to use this combination move of the three legendary birds to deal with powerful enemies like Mewtwo.

Because of its immense power, if all hits land, it can completely wipe out a powerful Pokémon like Lugia!

Using it on the God of Thunder is indeed a bit of a waste.

But there was nothing that could be done, after all, the situation was urgent and they needed to weaken their combat power!

The dark clouds dispersed, and the wind and waves subsided.

When everything calmed down, looking back at the battlefield, the God of Ice and the God of Fire were seen being thrown to other places by the shockwave and struggling to get up.

Because they were far from the God of Ice, and the target of the burning was only the God of Thunder, they were not harmed.

Xiaoxia looked around and then exclaimed, "Strange, where is Lugia?"

Upon hearing her words, Xia You glanced around and indeed did not see Lugia.

After thinking for a moment, he guessed, "It must have dived into the sea. The thunder just now was indiscriminate and must have shattered those iron rings that bound it. Lugia must have taken the opportunity to escape at that time."

"I hope so," Flura prayed, placing her hands on her chest. "I truly hope it will be safe and sound!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of Asia Island, residents of a small town stood at their windows, looking at the apocalyptic scene with heavy hearts.

Although they couldn't see the battle itself because of the great distance, the terrifying thunder, blizzard, and meteors still filled them with dread.

Is this... what the end of the world looks like?

Chapter 218 Unexpected Visitor

At this moment, Lugia emerged from the sea. Although it had severe electric shocks, its condition was still acceptable and it seemed to be alright.

It shook off the seawater, then opened its mouth and spat out a scorching orange-yellow beam of light, which struck the spaceship wreckage at the crater of Ice Island precisely!

boom!

In an instant, the spaceship exploded and burst into flames!

Clearly, it hadn't forgotten the attack it had just suffered, and this was precisely its response to those iron rings!

Seeing this, Xia You couldn't help but nod.

Excellent! With the Collector and the God of Thunder resolved, the situation is once again developing in a favorable direction!

ratt ratt ratt...

Just as Xia You was about to press his advantage, he suddenly heard the roar of a propeller. He looked up at the sky and saw a helicopter swaying from side to side as it flew toward Asia Island!

Under the watchful eyes of the group, the helicopter seemed to have malfunctioned and crashed directly onto the hilltop near the altar!

boom! !

Because it wasn't very far away, Xia You could clearly hear the strong vibrations it produced when it hit the ground!

"What's going on?" Xiaoxia asked in surprise, looking at the thick smoke billowing out. "The weather is already like this, and there are still helicopters flying here?"

"Perhaps some emergency has occurred," Xia You guessed. However, given the current situation, he certainly couldn't leave, so he could only look at Nazi and say, "We don't know if there were any casualties in this crash. Could you please take a look?"

"I see."

Nazi nodded and left, while Xiaoxia and Xiaojian weighed their options and, knowing they couldn't be of much help here, followed along.

In the blink of an eye, only Fluura remained by Xia You's side.

After a moment's thought, Xia You realized that the sudden appearance of the helicopter made him realize that things might change, so he quickened his pace of attack.

'Momartre, quickly take care of the Ice God! Zapdos and Articuno, help Lugia deal with the Fire God!'

The battle had now turned into a four-on-two situation, and Xia You had firmly gained the upper hand. However, it would take some more effort to deal with the remaining two divine birds.

Time ticked by, but the battle continued.

Just then, Ash's shouts suddenly came from the ice. It turned out that he had returned from the ice island, led by Charizard!

It has to be said that the round trip only took a dozen minutes, which is really efficient! It seems that without the three divine birds causing trouble, everything went very smoothly for him.

In mid-air, before Charizard could land, Ash leaped and landed next to Xia You.

"Xia You-ge! I'm back! I've got the final treasure. Huh? That's strange, where are Xiaoxia and the others?"

"They went to rescue a helicopter that crashed nearby, you..."

As Xia You was speaking, he suddenly sensed that Sabrina was using her psychic powers to warn him about something. With a thought, he quickly issued a command through Gardevoir to summon the three legendary birds back to his side.

Nearby, seeing the three legendary birds, Ash's expression was complicated, and he asked with a hint of envy, "Xia You, when exactly did you catch them?"

“I’ll tell you the details when I have the chance.” Xia You gestured for him to be quiet, then turned to look at Fluura. “Fluura, please keep this a secret for me and don’t tell anyone else.”

He could reveal his three legendary birds to Ash, Misty, and the others, but he didn't want to casually show his hand to outsiders. Although more and more people would find out later, and even if it got out, it would only cause a little more trouble, it was better to be cautious about some things. This could effectively prevent some criminals from spying on him.

Flaura and Ash knew that the three legendary birds involved Xia You's privacy, and since Xia You considered them friends, they nodded without hesitation.

"I understand, we will keep our mouths shut!"

Xia You took out a Great Ball and recalled all three Pokémon.

Unfortunately, with victory seemingly within reach, there was no way to directly defeat the other two Pokémon. However, now that Ash has returned, the rest can be left to him.

Anyway, Lugia is now fighting two against one and not at a disadvantage, so it seems that the three legendary birds can no longer cause any trouble.

Just then, they heard a jumble of footsteps behind them.

Looking back, they saw Naz and her friends walking back, with several other people following behind them.
