I caught a Pokémon

Hearing her words, Matsuba understood that the so-called unknown was either that these people's Pokédex data was incomplete, or that the Pokémon was not from the Johto region. In either case, it proved that they knew nothing about the Pokémon in front of them.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

And what he saw there was a shocking scene that he would never forget!

Chapter 889 Phoenix King's Blessing

What did the pine needles see?

In the sky, a beautiful waterfall formed of powerful energy was cascading down, completely enveloping the area above them.

what is this?

Who attacked?

Or is it extreme weather I've never seen before?

This energy waterfall radiates colorful light, especially beautiful and breathtaking on a night like this, almost making the pine needles intoxicated.

Just then, a panicked voice beside him startled him awake.

"Damn it! What... what the hell is this thing!?"

Coming to his senses, he turned his head and saw the male trainer who had just spoken to him staring blankly at the sky, his face showing an expression of extreme disbelief.

It was at this moment that Songye suddenly realized how dire their situation was!

Behind every beautiful thing lies a deadly danger!

Regardless of what's above their heads, they're all within its range, and at this rate, they'll likely be submerged by that energy waterfall in no more than ten seconds!

With such immense energy, it's obvious that we would all be completely annihilated!

Therefore, no matter what, we absolutely cannot stay here!

The thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shout, "Run!"

Even without him saying it, the trainers around him had already taken action.

The trainers who were among the first to arrive here at this time may lack strength, but they are definitely quick-witted and resourceful!

This allowed them to use their unique abilities to retreat in all directions as soon as Song Ye spoke!

Even as Matsuba uttered the word "go," Matsuba himself remained standing motionless on the entire battlefield.

These guys... they run way too fast!!

Seeing this, Matsuba only had time to sigh in his heart, but he didn't dare to linger. Instead, he whistled and led his Ghost-type Pokémon back to Edencie City.

They arrived with such ease, and left in such a sorry state.

Although they were somewhat unwilling, they had no choice but to run, since no one knew exactly how wide the energy waterfall's reach was!

All we can do is try our best and run as far as we can!

What made things even worse for these people was that the strange Pokémon clones that had just blocked their way seemed to completely disregard the energy waterfall and their own lives, and actually chased after them as if they weren't running fast enough!

Driven by this force, they crossed the forest and encountered the second group of trainers who had come from Enju City.

Because they were discovered later, and because there were no suitable rideable Pokémon, these people arrived late.

Before they could even grasp the situation, these newly arrived trainers, seeing the group running frantically as if they wished they had more legs, and glancing at the relentlessly pursuing Deoxys clones, and feeling the energy waterfall cascading down from the sky, could only follow along in a daze.

Although it feels like a long time has passed, in reality, only a dozen seconds have elapsed since the discovery of the energy waterfall.

Before these people had even escaped the forest, Ho-Oh was already facing a combined attack from three birds at the Bell Tower.

Phoenix King's body shone brightly, radiating an extremely dazzling golden light, and then resolutely and proactively crashed into the energy waterfall.

Almost instantly, the entire darkness seemed to be dispelled!

An incredibly dazzling light suddenly shone from the spot where Ho-Oh and the three birds collided in their combined attack, spreading out and instantly sweeping across the entire sky, turning the sky within a radius of tens of kilometers, including Enchantress City, a golden hue!

Immediately following was a continuous hissing sound of dissolving that echoed through the air!

Pine Leaf, who had run not far, was also startled by the light that instantly turned the sky from darkness to day, and subconsciously looked back.

But as soon as he turned around, he was blown over by a strong gust of wind and crashed into a maple tree in front of him before coming to a stop.

When he looked around again, he found that the other trainers, like him, had been knocked over and scattered all over the place by the shockwave, and were slowly struggling to get up from the ground.

Fortunately, no one was in any life-threatening danger!

Ignoring all that, Song Ye quickly looked up at the sky.

But the center was so dazzling that he endured the stinging pain in his eyes and stared for a long time, but all he could see was endless light!

Not only him, but all the citizens of Yuanzhu City, whether standing on the street or at home, all looked in that direction, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

What exactly happened?

Among them, the little boy named Lisheng was the most shocked.

Thinking of the man he had seen at the night market, for some reason, his intuition told him that all of this must be related to that man!

This also made him eager to know who that man was, and what exactly happened at the Bell Tower.

……

At this moment, on the bell tower in the center of the battlefield.

Under the dual protection of Deoxys and Gardevoir, the entire Bell Tower and the city below remained intact. Not to mention Xia You and Xiao Juan, who were the most important people to protect, were naturally unaffected as well.

Just like Song Ye and the other ordinary people, Xia You and the others were unable to observe anything because of the incredibly bright light.

But one thing is certain: apart from the strong winds generated by the explosion, no other energy fell down, which proves that Ho-Oh did indeed withstand the combined attack of the three birds!

That's really impressive, and it proves Ho-Oh's power.

Similarly, Xia You was not surprised by this result.

It's just unknown how Ho-Oh will appear before him after the three birds' combined attack disappears.

Are they safe and sound?

Or are they still in a sorry state?

Or perhaps he was only injured to a certain extent?

It seems that everything can only be understood after the light has completely disappeared.

The intense light lasted for half a minute, and only began to weaken and dissipate slowly after the combined energy of the three birds' attack had completely dissipated.

Just then, Xia You and the others were finally able to see the sky clearly.

The sky, which had been covered with dark clouds, became exceptionally clear, as if it had just been wiped clean. Bright moonlight and countless stars reappeared before people's eyes, making it seem as if the sky had never been so clear.

Under such moonlight, Phoenix King slowly flapped its wings and hovered high in the sky.

Judging from its condition, the feathers on Ho-Oh's body were now charred and no longer as beautiful as before. Even its body was no longer as majestic as it had been, and it looked covered in wounds.

But this is only the surface state. The fact that Ho-Oh can still maintain its flight state proves that it is not seriously injured!

Wow, that's really strong!

After glancing at it a few times, Xia You couldn't help but sigh.

This is the second time someone has managed to withstand the combined attack of three birds; it's truly admirable.

And that wasn't all. With a sudden cry, a dazzling light flashed across its body. Under the bright moonlight, Xia You could see it clearly. Just a few seconds later, all the wounds on its body had disappeared!

It was as if they had never been attacked!

After doing all this, Phoenix King slowly lowered its altitude and finally hovered in front of Xia You.

At this moment, its condition was completely renewed, no different from before the battle.

Needless to say, either Ho-Oh used a move like Regenerator, or it used its amazing regenerative abilities to completely restore itself!

Whether it was restoring the three sacred beasts last time or restoring itself this time, Xia You witnessed its terrifying life force.

This made Xia You shake her head with a hint of envy.

Even Ho-Oh couldn't use such an ability frequently, as it would inevitably put a great burden on its body. But no matter what, such a life-saving ability is still too overpowered...

As expected of a Pokémon with a legendary story!

Following closely behind Ho-Oh, the three legendary birds, slightly out of breath, arrived near the top of Bell Tower and once again surrounded Ho-Oh.

However, this time, perhaps because Ho-Oh was too close to its trainer, or perhaps because it needed time to recover after using the three-bird combo, they merely stared at Ho-Oh but did not attack again.

It must be said that compared to the previous times they used the Three Birds Combo, now that they have gotten used to it and are more comfortable with it, although they still expend a lot of energy, they seem to still have the strength to fight. This also shows that they are more skilled and adept at using the Three Birds Combo.

On the platform, Xia You waved her hand, and the three sacred birds dispersed.

The attack that just hit Ho-Oh and the sight of its brief, miserable state made him settle his score with Ho-Oh, and there was no need for him to continue targeting it.

Seeing their trainer's signal, the three legendary birds all stepped back and landed on top of the Bell Tower.

Looking at Ho-Oh, Xia You clapped her hands and couldn't help but exclaim, "You are indeed very powerful. You are only the second Pokémon I have ever seen that can remain unharmed after such an attack."

Being so close to the Phoenix King, while Xia You was talking to it, Xiao Juan and the other girls couldn't help but look at it.

They felt that this legendary Ho-Oh was indeed very beautiful, majestic and noble, and it completely met their expectations. In fact, compared with it, the three legendary birds, which are also legendary Pokémon, were undoubtedly weaker in terms of aura.

There's no way to deny it.

Ho-Oh first glanced at Deoxys beside Xia You. From it, Ho-Oh sensed a powerful force, but seeing that it did not make any move, it turned its gaze to Xia You.

At the same time, a voice also rang in Xia You's mind.

'Human, the fact that your three Pokémon can use such moves proves that you've raised them well and they're powerful enough. It also confirms to me that you are indeed qualified to wield Fire, Water, and Thunder simultaneously.'

Fire, water, and thunder?

Xia You was momentarily dazed before realizing that this referred to the Three Sacred Beasts.

Unexpectedly, the three sacred beasts known as Raikou, Yandi, and Suijun in people's hearts were only called by a single name by Ho-Oh.

But it does indeed have that qualification, and in the hearts of these Pokémon, there is no such thing as the Three Legendary Beasts.

However, regardless of whether Ho-Oh agrees or not, I have already subdued the three legendary beasts. What can it do even if it doesn't agree? Does it expect me to release them?

"Your approval is not important." Xia You said calmly, looking at it. "What is important is that I have captured them and they have truly become my Pokémon."

Phoenix King turned to look at Xiao Juan, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Yu.

'Then why did you entrust them to these servants? I have already sensed their presence through these three human women.'

A servant?

It probably refers to Xiaojuan's family, since they had an agreement with Phoenix King and were responsible for worshipping it more than a hundred years ago, so it's not surprising that they are called that.

However, it's clear that despite living for so long, Ho-Oh doesn't understand the human concepts of 'family' and 'husband and wife'. Naturally, it doesn't understand that it's very common for husbands and wives to take care of each other's Pokémon, and there's no need to distinguish between them.

"Well, I'm just leaving them here to protect the woman who accompanies me. But they will still appear before me when I need them. Isn't that good? The three sacred beasts have all stayed in Johto, so their legend can continue to be passed down in this area."

Although Xiaojuan and the other two couldn't hear Feng Wang's voice, they could roughly guess what the two were talking about from Xia You's words.

Therefore, the phrase "I'm just protecting the women who accompany me" made Xiaoyao and her two younger sisters feel a little shy, but also very warm, and they truly felt Xia You's care for them.

Ho-Oh was quite satisfied with Xia You's answer. Just as the man said, Raikou, Suicune, and Entei should indeed remain in Johto, the land where they were born. For the Pokémon that had already been captured, this was indeed a good outcome.

"So that's how it is," said the Phoenix King. "Human, your actions have earned my respect and passed my test. Now, let me bestow my blessing!"

Before Xia You could refuse, Phoenix King had no chance to speak. With a flap of its wings, a feather fell from its body and flew towards Xia You.

bless?

Xia You raised her eyebrows.

What is Ho-Oh up to?

Despite his doubts, he still caught the feather in his hand.

But just as the feather touched Xia You's palm, it suddenly emitted a soft yet intense light and merged into Xia You's body!

This change caught Xia You off guard, and in the next second, he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his body, as if some vigorous energy was surging within him!

Affected by this energy, Xia You swayed and fell backward.

However, just as he tilted, Gardevoir caught him with its psychic powers. Seeing this, before Cuckoo and the others could even exclaim in surprise, Deoxys, who was standing next to him, thought that Ho-Oh had ambushed him. A red light flashed in its eyes, and then a beam of energy shot rapidly toward Ho-Oh!

Even the three legendary birds cried out in unison and charged towards Phoenix King once more!

Ho-Oh gently flapped its wings, then soared high into the sky, dodging the attacks of the Pokémon, and continued flying until it disappeared from sight.
