Chapter 379: Flame Bird and Xia Bo
On the island, Xia Bo opened fire at full power and released all the Pokémon at once. The king-level ones included Ninetales and Flareon, and the top quasi-king-level ones included Arcanine, Infernape, Charizard, Magma Snail, and Flareon.
Although Xia Bo has just entered the King level, the quasi-King level elves under his command belong to the top-level quasi-King level, which is equivalent to the T0 stage.
Similar to Sakaki's Beedrill, they can challenge opponents of higher levels.
Ordinary king-level Pokémon are no match for them, but with their combined combat power and attribute advantages, they can group together to fight against champion-level Grass-type Pokémon.
Of course, it can also fight against champion-level elves that are also fire-type.
But if they want to defeat Moltres, they probably need to reach the peak of the King level, or even the Champion level to have this strength.
Fortunately, Moltres seemed to be holding back in the fight and did not fight to the death.
Flames continued to erupt above the island, and the entire island turned into a flaming mountain.
The rising momentum continued to spread, turning the coast around the island red.
The sea water at the edge is over 40 degrees Celsius.
Sakaki and Sasaki, who were some distance away from the coast, looked at the island illuminated by the fire and sat on their own elves.
Sasaki asked Sakaki, "Can Xia Bo do it? The opponent is a champion."
Sakaki shook his head and explained to Sasaki:
"A real fight certainly won't work, but didn't you notice that Xia Bo has been holding out for a long time? And the firebird's momentum has lost a lot of sharpness and murderous intent, which means it has no intention of killing Xia Bo."
Sasaki thought for a while, and finally said: "Why? Oh, Xia Bo just called out, long time no see. It seems to have something to do with Moltres."
Sakaki nodded, "Not bad."
Now that Xia Bo has appeared, I hope this Moltres will not move away, otherwise it will be difficult to find it in the future.
Sakaki had already memorized the coordinates of this place, and as long as there was a chance in the future, he would send someone to capture Moltres.
Well... after we trick Xia Bo into joining Team Rocket, it would be best to let him capture it. That way, Moltres will probably be able to exert its maximum combat power.
I just don't know if the Alliance will send someone to capture Moltres.
Given their respect for the mythical beast, they probably won't capture it roughly. They will probably try to get it to leave.
Sakaki pondered for a while and looked at the island in the distance again. At this time, the momentum and temperature inside had weakened a lot.
It seems that the winner between Xia Bo and Moltres has been decided, and as expected, Xia Bo lost.
But surprisingly, the Moltres did not leave immediately. Instead, it slowly landed in the center of the island. The flames surrounding its body gradually converged and lost some of its edge.
Although Xia Bo's elves were exhausted, they were not seriously injured. They surrounded Xia Bo with awe and unwillingness in their eyes.
Although Xia Bo was exhausted, he had a smile of relief and satisfaction on his face. He slowly walked towards the Moltres, and there seemed to be a silent communication between the two.
Soon, Xia Bo took out a golden feather from his arms. This feather seemed to echo the flames on the firebird, emitting a warm and soft light.
He placed the feather gently on the ground, and the Moltres immediately lowered its head and touched the feather with its beak, and a faint flame ignited on the feather.
"What is this...?" Sasaki asked in confusion.
Sakaki touched his chin, which looked like the rainbow feather of the Phoenix King. He explained: "It should be some kind of token or contract."
As the flame on the feather gradually dissipated, the Moltres placed the feather back in Xia Bo's hand.
Xia Bo put the feather away and said, "Thank you for your advice, Moltres. I haven't seen you for twenty years. Your strength has become even more unfathomable. I will continue to work hard and I will definitely defeat you in the future."
The flamingo chirped softly, lowered its head, and touched Xia Bo's forehead with its beak.
"Hehe." Xia Bo was as innocent as a child, then pointed at Sakaki and Sasaki in the distance and asked Moltres:
"These two are my friends. They are not bad people. I believe they did not mean to disturb you. Please forgive me."
Moltres turned its head and looked at Sakaki and Sasaki in the distance. It just glanced at Sasaki, shook its head, and then turned its gaze to Sakaki who had a faint smile on his face.
The divine beast could see good and evil, but what it saw in the young man was chaos, and an uncomfortable sense of threat.
If it weren't for the special and warm energy in Sakaki's body and Xia Bo's request, Moltres might not have let Sakaki leave.
After taking a look at Xia Bo's sincere eyes, Moltres no longer looked at Sakaki, but flapped its wings and flew high, leaving behind a series of gorgeous flame trails, and finally dived back into the volcano.
Xia Bo stood there, looking in the direction where the Moltres left, his face full of emotion and awe.
In the distance, Sasaki patted Sakaki on the shoulder, "What do you think Moltres meant just now? Why did it shake its head when it looked at me?"
Sakaki could see that Moltres actually had the urge to attack him, but just didn't do it in the end.
His eyes were somewhat deep, "I don't know, maybe it seems that you don't have the potential to be a divine beast envoy."
Sasaki was so angry that he immediately shouted angrily: "It must be that its eyesight is not good. This young master is very strong and has good luck. Tell me, is there a spirit stronger than it? I want to kill it."
Sakaki's deep eyes were swept away, and he smiled helplessly.
However, he was still very tolerant of Sasaki. He thought for a moment and then said, "Molten, one of the three sacred birds, is at best a second-level god. There are many mythical beasts stronger than it. Any first-level god can beat it."
In fact, Sasaki was still not confident when he spoke just now. It was only when he heard that Moltres was not a very powerful divine beast that he straightened his chest.
He believed Sakaki's words without a doubt, "Just tell me, it's a second-level god, there must be a first-level god who is its superior, who can control it?"
Sakaki thought for a moment, "The immediate superior of the three sacred birds, Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, should be the Sea God Lugia."
"Lugia? Is he a first-level god? How strong is he?" Sasaki didn't expect Sakaki actually knew, and asked embarrassedly.
"Master level is a foregone conclusion." Sakaki laughed.
"Uh." Sasaki was a little hesitant, but soon he patted his chest and said, "Anyway, you're here, I think I can still give it a try. If nothing else, I just believe in you."
Sakaki smiled helplessly, "You, you."
Sasaki shouted confidently, "No matter what, it's decided to be you, Sea God Lugia!"
At this moment, in a corner of the boundless ocean, within the bottomless strait, a pair of light red eyes slowly opened, and a hint of blue light flashed.
