Chapter 188 Firebird

When the group saw the Moltres, their faces lit up with joy.

Hiroshi pointed at the Moltres excitedly and said:

"See? I knew I wasn't mistaken. I knew what I saw back then really was a Moltres!"

As a long-time investigator, Hirabe is quite knowledgeable about some of the history of the Alliance.

He gazed at the firebird with its fiery feathers in the cave before him and murmured:

"So it turns out that after the Alliance took the fire from the Moltres, it hid on Mount Silver. No wonder the Alliance could never find it!"

Bai Ling, abandoning her usual spoiled and willful nature, said dreamily:

"Such beautiful feathers..."

Although Ryuzawa was the lowest-ranking officer present, he recovered from the shock of seeing the firebird earlier than the other investigators:

"Why does Moltres seem a little unhappy?"

Almost the instant Longze spoke, the firebird spread its wings:

"Wow!"

Several sparks flew from the Flamebird's wings, heading straight towards Hiroshi, who was closest to it.

Upon seeing this, Lu An's pupils contracted, and he quickly lunged at Guangzhi, saving him from the sudden attack of the firebird.

Everyone was stunned.

They didn't know why the molten lava bird attacked them on their very first meeting.

"Hey, Moltres, we're here on behalf of the Kanto Alliance. We mean no harm!"

However, no matter how hard everyone shouted, Moltres seemed not to hear them.

"Wow!"

The Flamebird Cave is very different from the Shakiras Cave we just visited.

The cave is very high, so there is no feeling of oppression at all, and there is a natural opening at the top of the cave.

The firebird, which was at least two meters tall, spread its wings and flew straight into the cave, spraying a stream of flames at the people on the ground.

"No! Moltres won't listen to us!"

As they fled through the flames of the Moltres, they shouted and communicated with each other.

"I say, shouldn't we retreat first?"

"Our goal should just be to confirm whether Moltres has been captured by Team Rocket, so they can capture it for genetic experiments, right?"

"Since Moltres is still in the cave at Mt. Silver, doesn't that mean Team Rocket's plan hasn't succeeded yet?"

"Then our mission should be complete, right?"

Hirabe quickly denied Hiroshi's statement:

"No, besides confirming the Moltres's whereabouts, we also need to tell the Moltres that someone is after it."

"If possible, we should also try to bind it to the alliance."

"Only in this way can we know in time if Team Rocket makes a move against Moltres."

"So we absolutely cannot leave like this."

Longze clutched his head and ran for his life:

"But the problem is, it seems like the Moltres now sees us as trespassers and isn't giving us any chance to communicate!"

"Special Grade, what do we do?!"

Unlike Long Ze and the others who were forced to flee in terror by the firebird, Lu An remained completely calm even with the firebird's flames, which had been burning for hundreds or thousands of years, right beside him.

Without any visible movement, he always managed to dodge the firebird's attacks perfectly.

His brows were furrowed, clearly not taking the Moltres's attack seriously, nor was he listening to the group's discussion.

He was thinking about when and how the Moltres had appeared.

Why didn't he notice the appearance of the Moltres?

Was it his oversight?

Or is there another reason behind Moltres's appearance?

Just as Lu An was pondering, another voice came.

However, compared to Long Ze's voice, this one sounded much more furious and exasperated:

"Lu An, what the hell are you pretending to be so profound for? What time is it? Hurry up and make a decision!"

Bai Ling's shouts and curses woke Lu An from his reverie.

He looked around and realized that, regardless of how the firebird came to be, it was now an undeniable fact that it was hostile to them.

When faced with wild Pokémon that attack the investigators, the investigators typically employ the following method:

"Subdue it first! I'll take full responsibility!"

After saying that, Lu An threw out a Poké Ball:

"Steelarmored Raven!"

"Gah!"

(`A′)

The moment Lu An threw the Poké Ball, Corviknight, whose body was even stronger than Moltres, pounced on Moltres.

Its eyes showed no fear of the flames, nor any reverence for the legendary firebird.

On the contrary, anyone could see the intense fighting spirit in its eyes.

"Wow!"

The firebird circling above the cave never expected that a second creature would appear flying in the sky.

It immediately felt its dignity had been offended, so it met the Steel-armored Raven without any hesitation.

"Wow!"

Moltres spewed out mysterious flames from its long beak, but Corviknight dodged them.

The Armored Raven spread its wings, which blotted out the sky, and closed the distance with the Moltres.

Using distance to block the accuracy of Moltres's flames is one of Corviknight's specialties.

While this move isn't very effective against creatures like Volcarona that are born with flames, it's quite good against Moltres.

After all, the most threatening flames of a Moltres often come from its beak.

Moltres will have a hard time if it can be guarded against.

That's exactly what happened.

With its superior physical abilities, Corviknight was willing to endure the flames to get close to Moltres, and then they engaged in close combat.

"Gah!"

"Wow!"

Thankfully, these are two bird Pokémon fighting, and thankfully Moltres is a legendary Pokémon that has no gender.

If the two birds were replaced by two men in close combat, the scene would be too gruesome to watch.

In short, when Corviknight gets close to Moltres, Moltres, which is engulfed in flames, suffers greatly.

The Steelraven's close-quarters combat was absolutely insane.

Both its wings, which are as strong as iron, and its sharp claws are powerful weapons of attack.

If Corviknight gets burned by the flames on Moltres's feathers, it becomes even more excited and seems determined to stay on Moltres and never come down.

Moltres's Intimidate ability is like air; it has no effect on Moltres whatsoever.

This made the usually arrogant Moltres feel quite aggrieved.

Did something go wrong?

I am the legendary bird Pokémon!

I'm the one with the advantage in attributes!

The way you play makes me feel really embarrassed!

That's incredibly disrespectful of me!

"Wow!"

Moltres is very angry.

So it spread its wings and blew its scorching breath toward the Steel-armored Raven.

"Hot air!"

The "Flame Jet" attack, which strikes in a single linear direction, can be dodged by Corviknight using its skills. Even if it cannot be completely avoided, it can still take some of the damage.

However, this tactic is based on the combined efforts of its powerful body and agile movements, and does not mean that it is a stupid melee bird with a hardened brain.

If it doesn't even dodge "hot air," then it's not just bold and careful, it's simply brainless.

Therefore, it quickly avoided Moltres's "hot wind".

Of course, this also creates a flaw, which is that it allows Moltres to escape from its melee attack range.

Having escaped the close range of the Corviknight, the Moltres spread its wings and flapped its arms, flying out of the huge opening at the very top of the cave.

"Wow!"
