At this moment, the noble, aloof Articuno lay prostrate in the frozen depths of the Mountain Orchard. Her eyes were closed—resting, perhaps.
Unlike Darkrai, a Mythical, Articuno belonged to a different category: Tier 2 Legendary Pokémon. She possessed the ability to freely control ice, dwelling in permafrost peaks. When she flew, her long tail trailing, her wings chilled the air itself—bringing snow to the lands below.
Mt. Coronet's summit. Permanent permafrost. Not far from the farm.
"Hmm... did she fly down recently?"
The timing fit. The cold snap's arrival coincided perfectly with her presence.
"Ruff~"
Houndoom Leader tensed, ready to advance. Wade's hand stopped her.
"Wait. Something's wrong."
League reports painted Articuno as gentle—appearing during blizzards, helping lost Trainers, radiating calm nobility.
This one? Trembling ice-blue wings. Struggling to open her eyes. Wrong.
This felt like—
[Farm Upgrade Quest 3] : While developing the farm, there will always be twists and turns. An Articuno, having accidentally absorbed an Icicle Plate, has gone berserk from the unbearable energy and landed in the Mountain Orchard. To protect the farm's safety, you must completely pacify her.
[Quest Rewards] : Ice Gem (Red), Ice Radish Seedling ×300
Icicle Plate. Berserk. Of course.
"CHIRP—!"
The legendary bird's eyes snapped open.
Light brown—no. Violent blood-red.
Her screech pierced the frozen orchard, accompanied by an explosive sound wave that shattered the silence. Brilliant blue light erupted from her beak.
[Ice Beam] : Fires an Ice Beam at the opponent. May cause freezing.
"Ruff!"
Houndoom Leader leaped.
Loyalty over self-preservation. Molten orange-red Flamethrower surged from her throat, meeting the ice-blue beam head-on.
CRASH.
A circular energy storm exploded outward—fiery red and ice blue intertwined, tearing through the air.
Houndoom flew backward, blasted by the collision.
"Houndoom!"
Wade caught her, holding tight. Level disadvantage. Icicle Plate power boost. Even with type advantage, she couldn't match a berserk Legendary.
He scanned the destruction. Within hundreds of meters, every berry sapling was gone. Vaporized water vapor had re-condensed into a storm of ice and debris.
We can't fight here.
One Blizzard and the entire Mountain Orchard would be ruined.
"Ruff~!"
Houndoom struggled, wanting to continue. Wade held firm.
Can't win one-on-one? Then we retreat. Regroup. Overwhelm.
"Not here! Fall back—draw it to open ground!"
"CHIRP~!"
The berserk Articuno followed.
Ice-blue wings flapped. Fierce winds enveloped her. She chased Wade's retreating form, trailing destruction.
Biting ice shards swept across the farm. Her long tail dragged storms in its wake.
Perfect.
She'd lost all reason—easy to lead. Wade guided her straight to the open ground near the Wooden Cabin.
There.
Gardevoir waited.
Telepathic link intact. Trainer's plan understood. The moment Articuno entered range—
She raised her slender hand.
A long-accumulated Moonblast crashed down from the starry night sky.
Nighttime. Trait enhanced. Five moons.
The silvery moonlight poured like a waterfall—unstoppable, devastating, perfectly timed.
"CHIRP—!"
Articuno's high-pitched cry was one of agony. The full-force strike connected.
Severely injured.
But not down.
Somehow—still fighting—she wildly flapped her wings. Weather Ball after Weather Ball launched at close range toward the recovering Gardevoir.
Too fast. Too close.
"Garchomp—Dragon Claw! "
In the nick of time.
A clear command rang out behind him.
Garchomp erupted—a dragon god unleashed. Three crescent-shaped wind blades solidified in her claws. One swing, and the shimmering white Weather Ball tore apart—along with the air itself.
"Gardevoir—Extrasensory! Grab her!"
Articuno, desperate and berserk, had committed to Brave Bird. She struggled fiercely against Garchomp, leaving herself open.
Gardevoir's eyes flashed violet.
Wave-like psychic energy surged forward, enveloping the legendary bird. Stamina nearly depleted, resistance impossible.
In a fleeting moment—stillness.
The thrown Poké Ball flashed. Once. Twice. Click.
Caught.
"Phew—"
Wade and Cynthia exhaled in unison, tension draining from their shoulders.
Cynthia recovered first, nodding thoughtfully.
"Your guess fits. I've heard rumors—an Articuno does nest on Mt. Coronet's peak. The timing lines up."
She studied the Poké Ball in Wade's hand with newfound respect.
This was probably the strongest wild Pokémon they'd ever faced.
Continuous assaults from Gardevoir and Garchomp—and she'd held her ground. If Wade hadn't positioned Gardevoir for that opening Moonblast ambush? This battle could have lasted all night.
Wade surveyed the damage. Farmlands scarred. Herb gardens torn. The Mountain Orchard, already frozen, now bore battle wounds.
Days of repair work ahead.
He shook his head, accepting the loss.
Sudden disaster. Unavoidable.
But...
A small smile curved his lips.
This Pokémon Girl Articuno can repay me with her body~
First, the original problem.
The Icicle Plate. Absorbed, it had driven her berserk—flown her from Mt. Coronet straight into his orchard. To truly pacify her, it had to be removed.
In Pokémon form? Difficult.
In captured form? With Telekinesis? Simple.
"Just bear with it a moment, okay~"
Wade gently laid Articuno on the bed.
A faint, cold fragrance drifted up—clean as mountain snow, alluring as winter's first breath. He reached out, stroking her forehead with gentle reverence.
And then—she transformed.
Ice-blue, silky hair cascaded to her waist and hips. Her face was mutton-fat jade—dewy, white as fresh snow. Peach blossom eyes shimmered with watery light, tinged rouge-red at the corners. They were cold and alluring simultaneously, capable of captivating any heart with a single glance.
Moon-white gauze draped her alluring form. Beneath, her ample, mature breasts strained the thin fabric—two bright red buds faintly visible through the gossamer barrier.
An ice-silk waistband cinched her slender waist, emphasizing the dramatic curve below. Long, graceful, smooth legs stretched endlessly—begging to be touched, caressed, worshipped.
Breathtaking.
Wade refocused. Mind sharp. Telekinesis activated.
The absorbed energy stone materialized from thin air—wrenched free from the blue-haired beauty's form.
[Icicle Plate (Rainbow) ]: A special item imbued with the original power of the creator god Arceus. Absorbing it increases Ice-type move power by 200% and physical abilities by 200%.
[Note] : Cannot be absorbed by those below the level of a secondary god.
Arceus's power.
No wonder she went berserk.
