Chapter 255: Freeze Everything, Nine-Tails!
Chapter 255: Freeze Everything, Nine-Tails!
"Here it comes!" Renshi shouted.
Boom!!
The roof of the unmanned power plant suddenly exploded, and a golden figure shot into the sky.
Amidst the dense dark clouds, a bird-like Pokemon with golden feathers, an orange pointed beak, and numerous sharp feather spikes around its body appeared before Jinghe and the others.
Thunderbird!
The legendary bird Pokemon, Thunderbird!
"Creee—!!!"
A loud, piercing cry filled the air, accompanied by surging thunder plasma in the dark clouds, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression from the legendary Pokemon.
Jinghe's expression turned complicated as he smacked his lips at the sight of the golden figure.
"So, in the Pokemon world, you should never casually approach a power plant."
Otherwise, you might be in for a surprise, and you could even encounter a Thunderbird flying out of the power plant.
Jinghe instinctively looked around.
Sure enough.
He still didn't see the Water Kami.
Even if Water-type Pokemon are weak against Electric-type, there's no need to be afraid of a Thunderbird, right? After all, you're one of the legendary Three Sacred Beasts, while the Thunderbird before them is just one among many.
The real Thunderbird should be on Trinity Island in the sea, playing hide-and-seek with Lugia.
"Doctor, it seems like Thunderbird is very angry," Kyoka whispered.
It was more than just anger.
Its eyes were bloodshot red.
As if it had been provoked.
"Creee!!!"
Thunderbird screeched again, its entire body erupting with dazzling golden lightning, like a righteous avenger piercing through the darkness, with thunderous roars echoing in the sky.
Suddenly.
The lightning converged and concentrated into a brilliant golden flash in the air, bursting downward with a deafening roar!
Thunder!
Boom!!
The small Pokemon immediately rushed to Jinghe's side, their playful expressions gone, replaced by stern looks.
From Thunderbird's body, they sensed an unprecedented threat, and if they weren't careful, Jinghe might be in mortal danger!
Fortunately.
Thunderbird's condition seemed abnormal, and the lightning that fell didn't hit them accurately but struck the ground not far away.
In an instant.
The ground was blasted open, leaving a large hole, charred and emitting wisps of acrid smoke.
"Is Thunderbird treating us as enemies?" Renshi took two steps back from the instrument and swallowed, speaking in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it's an indiscriminate attack. Someone must have angered Thunderbird," Dr. Sakura said, her gaze fixed on the Thunderbird in the sky, her expression complex.
However.
They could all sense the malevolence in Thunderbird's gaze, as if it had already locked onto them.
The next attack would likely be impossible to avoid.
"Hmm?"
Jinghe, who had withdrawn his gaze, was slightly startled as he realized that Dr. Sakura, Kyoka, and Renshi were all looking at him.
What's going on?
Do you want me to fight Thunderbird?
"Jinghe-sensei, please!" Dr. Sakura said in a deep voice.
"Jinghe-sensei..."
"Jinghe-sensei..."
Kyoka and Renshi also spoke up.
No.
Jinghe's eyes twitched.
What gave you the impression that I could handle Thunderbird?
This isn't the Pokemon Journey, where a single Fire Kick from Tengu could knock out a Thunderbird.
Zzzzz—
Electricity surged from Dr. Sakura's Thunderpaw and Renshi's Magneton, but it wasn't under their control; instead, it was gathering towards the Thunderbird in the sky.
At the same time.
Inside the power plant, there were also Electric-type Pokemon, including the Magneton that had slightly recovered with Jinghe's help, and their electricity was also converging towards Thunderbird.
"It's... absorbing electricity?" Kyoka exclaimed in surprise.
Renshi quickly hugged his weakened Magneton, which had started to fall. The Magneton that had recovered a bit became weak again.
Seeing this, Jinghe furrowed his brows.
In his vision, Thunderbird's Pokedex entry appeared.
【Thunderbird】
【Type: Electric】
【Ability: Oppression】
【Known Moves: Peck, Thunder Wave, Thunder Shock, Light Screen, Pluck, Agility, Primal Power, Charge, Drill Peck, Thunder.】
【Mood: Furious (It's a trap!)】
【Status: Critical (It needs rest; its condition is not as strong as it appears)】
【Friendship: -50 (Feel the wrath of Thunderbird!)】
Hmm?
Thunderbird fell into a trap, resulting in its critical condition?
And the trap is the reason for Thunderbird's rage.
So where is this trap?
"Creee—!!!"
Before Jinghe could figure it out, the Thunderbird in the sky couldn't wait any longer, and its body erupted with golden arcs once more.
Running was futile; there was no way they could outrun the Thunderbird.
If it were in its prime, Jinghe estimated he wouldn't stand a chance, but the Thunderbird's current weakened state left a glimmer of opportunity.
After all, this wasn't his first encounter with a legendary Pokemon. Back at the World Tree of Origin, Da'ou and the others had even stopped the Three Pillars, and he had been a part of it.
"Gramps!" Jinghe made a swift decision and shouted, "Poison!"
"Hngga~~"
Gramps let out a cry, took flight, and spewed a mouthful of foul-smelling poison toward the Thunderbird, causing a thin layer of purple energy to envelop it.
"Six-Tailed!"
"Ooh-woo~~"
The little Six-Tailed, understanding the command, lifted its head and let out a long cry, and a chill immediately emanated from its body.
The clouds above began to shift.
Tiny, sparkling snowflakes started to fall.
Snowfall Ability! Although the dark cloud gathered by the Thunderbird wasn't producing rain, if they waited a little longer, it might turn into a raging storm.
When combined with "Thunder," it would be a guaranteed hit every time!
Therefore, to defeat the Thunderbird, clearing the rain was a prerequisite, a tactic Jinghe had learned from his battles against rain teams.
Countering weather with weather!
"Cha!"
"Hoo-woo!"
Gigaton Smith flipped and jumped onto Hachubo's back, and with a flap of its wings, they took to the skies.
"Gigaton Smith, Ice Hammer! Bear Apprentice, Instruct!"
"Kuu~ (－ω－) zzZ"
Under the instruction, Hachubo felt a surge of power and speed.
Smith's hammer became encased in frost, making it appear even larger than its already massive size!
"Caw!!!"
Seeing Jinghe's team daring to counterattack, the Thunderbird's bloodshot eyes widened with fury. It flapped its wings vigorously, and lightning surged once more.
Some of the lightning merged with the thundercloud behind it, suppressing the snowstorm that was slowly forming due to the Six-Tailed's Snowfall Ability.
Without the snowstorm, the Six-Tailed struggled to execute its moves effectively, and the crucial synergy between it and the other Pokemon was diminished.
It was the core of Jinghe's entire team!
Jinghe's expression grew grave.
Having the Six-Tailed counter the Thunderbird's weather in its enraged state was indeed a tall order.
However, even without the weather advantage, it wasn't impossible to fight.
"Gramps, Shadow Ball to clear the way for Gigaton Smith! Hachubo, Extreme Speed! Gigaton Smith, bring down the Thunderbird!"
A glint flashed in Jinghe's eyes as he used Wave Guidance to convey his precise instructions to each of his Pokemon.
"Six-Tailed, Ice Beam! Bear Apprentice, get ready! As soon as the Thunderbird falls, hit it hard with an Ice Punch!"
"Kuu! (－ω－) zzZ"
Although Bear Apprentice still had a snot bubble hanging from its nose, it was in a ready stance, prepared for battle.
At the same time...
"Hngga~!"
Gramps trembled slightly, and one, two, three shadows separated from its body.
Then, one, two, three... numerous Shadow Balls were launched like bullets, intercepting the Thunderbird's scattered lightning and clearing the path for Hachubo and Gigaton Smith.
"Hoo-woo!"
Hachubo flapped its wings vigorously, shook its tail, and a white light enveloped its body. With a speed that even the Thunderbird couldn't react to, it carried Gigaton Smith upward.
Gigaton Smith tightly gripped his hammer, his chubby face serious, eyes locked on the Thunderbird, and in his mind, he envisioned the perfect execution of his signature move.
"Jinghe-sensei is so strong!" Kyoka exclaimed, watching the scene unfold.
Although she was a researcher, she understood the significance of a Trainer skillfully commanding five Pokemon simultaneously.
Moreover, these five Pokemon worked together seamlessly, and each of them was formidable in their own right.
Perhaps they could even defeat the Thunderbird.
"Five Pokemon?" Sakura also marveled, but he noticed something else—it seemed like Jinghe only had five Pokemon.
"The Thunderbird's electricity is intensifying again!"
Renshi, who had returned to the instruments, shouted with tension.
Huh? Sakura and Kyoka were taken aback.
In the sky...
Zzzlaa!!
The Thunderbird erupted with terrifying electricity once more, engulfing the surroundings. Hachubo and Gigaton Smith, who had managed to get close, were forced to retreat under the onslaught of electricity.
The clones created by Gramps dissipated in the face of this electricity.
"Grr!" Gramps glared at the Thunderbird.
"I advise you to know your place!"
He inhaled deeply, and a thick black mist emerged from his body.
At the same time,
The Thunderbird once again channeled electricity into the thundercloud, and the churning thunderous plasma signaled an impending thunderous strike, which didn't seem easy to handle.
Jinghe frowned and took a deep breath.
Indeed, this was not an easy battle.
Should I bring out Mega Genggai?
But he was a bit uncertain about how long he and Gramps could last if they attempted Mega Evolution a second time.
Just then,
"Ow!"
The Six-Tailed Pokemon panted, struggling in the aerial battle, clearly at a disadvantage.
But if... if Snowfall was on their side, perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult.
Snowfall could take away the Thunderbird's home advantage, help their allies block the Thunderbird's line of sight, protect everyone with an Aurora Veil, and even allow Jinghe and Gramps to avoid exhausting themselves by using Mega Evolution.
The Six-Tailed Pokemon's bright sapphire eyes were filled with determination.
With Jinghe's doting affection, even if it made mistakes, even if it didn't battle, even if it froze Jinghe's cheeks purple, it would only receive indulgent smiles and forgiveness.
It could live without any worries, always be pampered by Jinghe, and lead a blissful life.
But
I want to be able to protect Jinghe too!
I want to be like Gramps, using Mega Evolution to gain terrifying strength.
I want to be like Gigaton Smith, helping Jinghe fix things.
I want to fly like Hachubo.
I want to guide Jinghe's fitness training like Bear Apprentice.
I want...
I want to help Jinghe become the strongest Trainer!
"Ow!"
It was time for Jinghe to feel proud of me!
The Six-Tailed Pokemon's body emanated a chilling aura, instantly freezing the ground around it.
"So... so terrifying!"
Sakura and her team kept retreating, and Renshi was even more shocked.
"Isn't Jinghe cold?" Kyoka couldn't help but ask, looking at Jinghe standing next to the Ice Hexagon, enveloped in the chilling aura.
"What... what a formidable will!"
Even Sakura was amazed by the Six-Tailed Pokemon's powerful will at this moment.
The dark clouds in the sky swirled and transformed, all due to the Six-Tailed Pokemon's efforts.
The Six-Tailed Pokemon's determination and stubbornness were all reflected in Jinghe's eyes.
Suddenly, he smiled helplessly.
But as a Trainer, he couldn't hold back his little partner.
Jinghe looked at the little one beside him, and suddenly, he felt reluctant to let go.
Even if you don't strive, what's the harm in me taking care of you for a lifetime?
He exhaled softly.
But as a Trainer, he couldn't deny his Pokemon's desire to become stronger.
Jinghe took out a light blue ice crystal, within which a blizzard seemed to be brewing. Its flickering light also sensed the Six-Tailed Pokemon's determination.
"Little one," Jinghe said softly.
"Ow!" The Six-Tailed Pokemon nodded firmly at Jinghe.
Not far away, Gramps, Gigaton Smith, Hachubo, and Bear Apprentice seemed to sense the Six-Tailed Pokemon's conviction.
They all smiled, revealing their teeth.
"Then... Evolve!"
Jinghe threw the Ice Stone towards the little one.
Images flashed through his mind: the Six-Tailed Pokemon's timid and fearful appearance when it first arrived at his home, its initial shyness in its first battle, and its increasingly cautious attitude towards opponents.
In an instant,
Like a revolving lantern, numerous scenes flashed through Jinghe's mind.
"Ow!"
The Six-Tailed Pokemon jumped lightly, biting the sparkling Ice Stone. With a "crack," the dazzling ice stone shattered in its mouth.
In the next moment,
A dazzling white light enveloped its body.
Within the white light, the little one's body visibly grew larger.
Its plump and soft body gradually elongated, and as its six curled tails transformed into nine, they unfurled gracefully.
The fur on its head also grew longer, becoming more flowing and agile.
In the air, the sparse snowflakes gradually thickened, and large, swirling flakes fell, quickly accumulating into a blanket of snow.
"Wooo!"
A clear and ethereal voice resonated.
The white light of evolution faded abruptly.
Jinghe's eyes filled with emotion, and he said gently, "Then..."
"Freeze everything, Nine-Tails!"
