I caught a Pokémon

Xiao Gang looked up at the ceiling in surprise, but the crystal tower was airtight and he couldn't see anything.

Of the three, Xiaoxia clearly understood Xia You the most. Seeing Xiaozhi and Xiaogang's puzzled expressions, she said confidently, "Is there any need to ask? Brother Xia You must be battling some Pokémon!"

"Xia You-ge?" Xiao Zhi murmured, "What Pokémon is he battling..."

With two battles raging simultaneously, Xia You didn't notice anything amiss outside, but those inside, including the Illusionary Flame Emperor and Xiao Mei, all experienced varying degrees of distraction.

Returning our gaze to outside the tower, the battle had intensified considerably.

The entire crystal tower trembled under the continuous attacks, and the sky quickly changed color, with dark clouds piling up. It seemed that a terrifying thunderstorm was brewing inside, due to the changes in airflow and moisture during the battle!

Finally, with a deafening crack, a thick bolt of lightning struck down, hitting one of the crystal tower's peaks and shattering it to pieces!

Countless crystalline fragments fell from the sky, finally blasting out the Thunder God!

To avoid the constantly falling debris, Lei Gong had no choice but to jump from his hiding place onto the battlefield!

Looking at this Pokémon that resembled both a leopard and a tiger, Xia You's face showed an expression of "I didn't expect it."

You can't hide it forever!

Now that Lei Gong has appeared, all three sacred beasts are finally together!

Chapter 371 Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice

The image of Lei Gong is somewhat similar to that of a saber-toothed tiger from ancient times on Earth. It has golden fur, strong limbs, sharp fangs, and a light blue tail with an electric-like shape.

Besides these features, its most impressive feature is the X-shaped mustache under the black steel headdress on its forehead!

In terms of temperament, compared to the majestic Yan Emperor and the composed Suijun, Raikou undoubtedly looks more ferocious!

Even from its eyes and claws, it's easy to tell that its temperament is more irritable and dangerous!

The act of lurking in the shadows, observing without revealing itself, and then striking when the opportunity arises is quite in line with the habits of predators like tigers and leopards, making it a very accurate representation of their original forms.

Since it was the first time Xia You had seen a living creature, she couldn't help but take out her Pokédex and point it at it.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Ding, Raikou, the Thunder Pokémon, Electric-type, one of the legendary Pokémon of the Johto region, a member of Ho-Oh's guard. It is said that Raikou is a fierce Pokémon that descended with lightning, possessing lightning-like speed within its body. Because it carries a rain cloud on its back, it can release lightning at any time. It releases the surging power within its body in the form of lightning strikes while running around on the ground. Its long howl, like a thunderclap, shakes the air and the earth as if a thunderbolt were falling!"

Judging from the Pokédex entry, Raikou truly lives up to its name as a legendary Pokémon.

However, in such an intense battle, it would be very difficult for Lei Gong to hide himself. It would be impossible for him to remain aloof and uninvolved. As the battle intensifies and expands, it will only be a matter of time before he is forced to reveal himself.

What Xia You didn't expect was that as soon as it appeared, it joined the battle without hesitation and went straight to Zapdos!

Clearly, during its previous lurking and spying, Raikou had already observed for a long time and realized that these three Pokémon were coming for them!

So, out of instinct or a sense of crisis, it took the initiative to join forces with Emperor Yan and Suijun to fight against the three legendary birds!

As for why it sought out Zapdos, Xia You guessed that it was probably because, being an Electric-type Pokémon, it sensed the strong electric current within Zapdos's body and wanted to compete with it!

But no matter what, with the addition of Lei Gong, the situation on the field instantly became three against three. With their numbers no disadvantage, the sacred beasts finally brought the battle back to the same starting line!

The battle continues.

Six legendary Pokémon are locked in battle, and the energy leaks during the fight have made the weather extremely strange!

Amidst howling winds, flashes of lightning, and thunder, a torrential downpour of rain mixed with ice crystals suddenly began!

They darted and leaped through the rain, and amidst the successive explosions, large areas of crystallization peeled off the tower, making it seem as if it might collapse at any moment.

By this time, it was completely dark, the rain and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility was getting lower and lower, to the point that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face!

Gardevoir used its psychic powers to create an air wall above Xia You's head, preventing rain from reaching its trainer. Even so, the cold air still made him tighten his clothes.

However, because it was too dark, not only could Xia You not see the situation in the arena, but even the Pokémon that were fighting could only vaguely see the general shapes of the other Pokémon!

This also made the battle much more difficult!

Just then, with a loud crack, another bolt of lightning struck from the clouds, streaking across the sky and briefly illuminating the entire battlefield!

Using the lightning bolt as a springboard, Xia You quickly surveyed the battlefield.

The three legendary birds had been captured by him for a long time. Even though their personalities made them unwilling to submit to each other, they were all trained by the same trainer and had worked together for a long time. Therefore, in battle, they would occasionally cooperate with each other subconsciously and unleash a few good combos.

On the other hand, although the three sacred beasts worked together to fight the three sacred birds, they generally fought independently and had no coordination. Sometimes they even had to dodge the attacks of the other two sacred beasts to avoid being affected by their moves!

only……

Despite still having a slight advantage, Xia You was still very nervous.

Originally, with three against two, he could have easily won the battle, but now he was really unsure about the final outcome.

After all, Pokémon are intelligent beings. If they realize something is wrong during the battle and the three legendary beasts want to escape, even if the three legendary birds give chase, they can probably only stop one or two of them, and they are destined not to be able to capture them all!

Sigh, I hope these three guys are tough as nails and will fight to the death!

After the lightning, the weather suddenly changed. The rain stopped abruptly and was replaced by heavy snow. A burning meteorite fell from the sky!

Rumble!!

The sounds of battle carried far, all the way to the Pokémon Center.

At this moment, Professor Oak, his assistant John, Miss Joy, Miss Officer Jenny, and Xiaoling and Rika stood on a high slope, gazing at the Crystal Tower.

From their position, they could vaguely see three bird-like Pokémon, occasionally appearing and disappearing into the clouds, spraying flames, lightning, and frost onto the ground. On the Crystal Tower, three Pokémon were also retaliating against the sky.

The female reporter from the TV station was also watching the battlefield with excitement, while the cameraman was trying to record the battle with his camera.

Unfortunately, although you can vaguely make out what kind of Pokémon it is, it's too far away, and even with a zoomed-in lens, you can only see some blurry shadows.

Seeing that she couldn't figure anything out, the female reporter had an idea and quickly walked up to Professor Oak, holding up the microphone and handing it to him.

"Professor Oak, why are the three legendary birds of the Kanto region fighting against the three legendary beasts of the Johto region?"

This question greatly troubled her, because it was unprecedented for six legendary Pokémon to come together to fight!

This news will definitely boost viewership once it airs!

Unfortunately, the video quality was poor, making it impossible to see the specific situation there. Even if it were broadcast, it would only be a blurry image.

Sigh, if only we could be closer.

Although she really wanted to do it, given Xia You and the others' experience of recklessly trespassing into the Crystal Tower, Officer Jenny has now strictly forbidden anyone from approaching the Crystal Forest again.

"Well..."

When asked by reporters, Dr. Oak thought for a moment and could only offer a relatively plausible explanation.

"Since Entei was created by Mei, I think Unown can definitely read other people's memories and create other Pokémon out of thin air. And the three legendary birds should be the ones that Unown used to fight Mei's three legendary beasts after reading Ash and the others' memories..."

Chapter 372 Anomaly

Professor Oak's answer is clearly contradictory and not very convincing.

After hearing about it, one can't help but wonder why the unknown totem that created this event had to conjure up the Flame Emperor and then the other two sacred beasts.

Could it be that Ash and his friends are too powerful? That Unown had to conjure two more to contend with them?

But that doesn't make sense!

If they were no match for Ash and his friends, why did they create the three legendary birds to help Ash fight Mei?

Sigh, I really don't understand!

However, since they did not know the situation on the battlefield, they could only conclude that these legendary Pokémon were created by Unknown Totem and that the infighting was caused by some reason!

After all, there is already the example of Emperor Yan, and logically speaking, the three legendary birds of the Kanto region could not have appeared in the Johto region for no reason, let alone fight the three legendary beasts without any reason!

That must be it!

There must be some unforeseen events they are unaware of!

Rumble!

As thunder continued to rumble, the battle in the distance showed no signs of ending, and as the dark clouds continued to spread, they slowly enveloped the entire Pokémon Center!

If this fighting continues, it won't be long before they are also affected!

It was already around 6 p.m. When Lijia was worried, she took out her phone to try to contact Xia You, but perhaps due to the weather, the signal was briefly interfered with, so she was unable to reach him after making several calls.

What exactly happened?

She frowned, still quite worried about Xia You and the others' current situation.

After all, even the three legendary beasts and the three legendary birds have appeared. In the aftermath of such a legendary Pokémon battle, who can remain unscathed?

After a moment's hesitation, knowing that waiting like this was not a solution, she took advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to the battle and quietly walked into the darkness.

Now that there's no longer any need to restrain Professor Oak, there's no point in her staying here. Rather than waiting here in vain, she might as well head straight to the Crystal Tower and meet up with Xia You!

After she left, the belated rescue team finally arrived at the Pokémon Center in Greenland Town.

This was a convoy consisting of a helicopter and several excavators, loaders, and trucks. Once it arrived, after a brief adjustment, it set off simultaneously from the air and the ground towards the crystallization tower.

With the roar of the engine, the excavator reached the outermost edge of the crystal and began to dig forward.

However, the excavation speed is very slow, and the crystal is very wide. Even at full speed, it can only advance slowly, meter by meter. At this rate, it is estimated that even by tomorrow afternoon, it may not be able to reach the base of the crystal tower.

In comparison, helicopters are much faster. However, in such extreme weather conditions, with Pokémon battling in the air, the pilot tried to get close several times, but just as he approached the edge of the cloud layer, the helicopter was forced back by the fierce ice and lightning and had to return to the Pokémon Center.

It looks like we can only fly over to rescue them after the fighting stops!

The rescue seemed to have hit a snag. Just then, Professor Oak glanced around and noticed that one person was missing, which struck him as odd.

"Huh? Where's Miss Rika?"

Xiao Ling, standing to the side, crossed her arms and leaned against a pillar, saying calmly, "She just left quietly. She's probably heading to the Crystal Tower to help Xiao Zhi and the others."

"What?! She went to the Crystal Tower?!"

Hearing this, Miss Officer Jenny's eyes widened, and perhaps because of her excitement, her voice unconsciously rose a few octaves!

"Since you saw it, why didn't you stop her?! It's almost completely dark now, and the weather is so dangerous; lightning could strike at any moment. Going there at this time is extremely reckless. What if something happens?!"

After saying that, she craned her neck and hurriedly looked around, trying to find the person, but it was so dark that she could not see Lijia's shadow anywhere!

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ling shrugged indifferently.

"So what if it's dangerous? We're trainers, how can this little difficulty stop us? Besides, aren't she and that man partners? Shouldn't she be going to his side right now?"

……

Outside the crystal tower, Xia You was nervously watching the battlefield when he suddenly felt the entire tower shake violently. Before he could react, the top of the crystal tower suddenly exploded, and as a large amount of crystal wall material fell off, the space inside the tower was revealed!

That's where Xiaomei's bedroom is!

Under the light of the bedroom, you can see Entei battling a Charizard!

With just one glance, Xia You recognized it as Ash's Charizard!

Upon seeing it, Xia You suddenly remembered that at the end of the movie, it was Ash's Charizard in Charizard Canyon who rushed to the rescue after seeing Ash in danger on TV and then had a final battle with Entei!

However, he was so focused on the battle with Zapdos that he didn't notice when or from where Charizard flew into the Crystal Tower!

The battle inside the tower is nearing its end, with both sides seemingly evenly matched. However, something strange is happening inside the bedroom, with crystalline spikes constantly emerging and destroying everything inside!

Even the collapse just now was caused by these spikes!

The fall of the crystal tower allowed Ash and his friends to breathe fresh air and also gave them a glimpse of the outside world.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, three sacred birds danced in the air!

On the uneven crystal, three sacred beasts roared into the air!

Under the flash of lightning, these legendary Pokémon appeared exceptionally fierce!

As they dodged the spikes, they stared in disbelief at the battle below.

Even if they had wondered what Pokémon Xia You was battling, they never imagined that there were actually six legendary Pokémon outside!

What a magnificent scene this is!

Xiao Gang's narrow eyes suddenly widened as he stared in disbelief at everything before him!

"Zetzart? Articuno? Moltres? Entei? Suicune? Raikou? What's going on!? Why are there so many legendary Pokémon out there!?"

While Xiao Gang was still unaware, Xiao Xia had already come to her senses. She hurriedly looked down at the ground and sure enough, she saw Xia You not far away!

Needless to say, these must be Xia You's three legendary birds! Only he could capture so many legendary Pokémon!!

But where did these three sacred beasts come from?

Why am I fighting with Xia You?!
