Chapter 110 This Moltres, easy to fool,
its situation is unknown, and Moltres had previously gone into a berserk state, so Arcanine, Dragonite, Charizard, and Pidgeot were all very worried about Xia Mu's approach to Moltres.
If Moltres were to suddenly unleash a fatal attack on Xia Mu at such close range, Xia Mu's life would definitely be in danger.
Watching Xia Mu approach step by step, and feeling the intimidation from Arcanine, Dragonite, Charizard, and Pidgeot, Moltres remained unmoved.
As a legendary bird, how could it be afraid? Even in its current predicament.
It even rolled its eyes disdainfully, as if to say to Arcanine, Dragonite, Charizard, and Pidgeot, "This legendary bird also has principles, and distinguishes between right and wrong."
Sensing Xia Mu's goodwill, Moltres did not doubt the healing potion in Xia Mu's hand.
'Caw—Awoo~' Compared to its previous cry, this time the sound was much gentler.
Although injured and weak, it didn't seem to reject Xia Mu.
Xia Mu could understand what Moltres was saying.
It was thanking him for his help.
In a short time, after taking the full-restoration medicine, Moltres's injuries healed, and its strength returned to its peak.
It might not be fully recovered physically, but it was no longer injured.
'Gaa—Awooo~~?' (This divine bird, completely healed?)
Moltres stood up, flapping its wings to check its condition.
Clearly, it hadn't reacted yet.
What surprised it most was the remarkable effect of the human-made potion, far more absurd than its ability to heal itself by absorbing fire-attribute energy. The
level 65 power was formidable.
Moltres's unleashed power truly tormented Xia Mu.
Because of the close proximity, Moltres's flames didn't activate a harmless mode for him; the high temperature and hot air felt like being inside an oven.
'Woof!' "(Master, be careful.)"
Arcanine jumped in front of Xia Mu immediately, blocking the scorching heat wave for him.
As this happened, Dragonite, Charizard, and Pidgeot all rushed forward without hesitation,
clearly showing hostility towards Moltres.
"Awooo! Awooo!!" (Your master saved you, and you repay kindness with enmity? What kind of legendary bird are you!)
Charizard was brave, and although its level and strength were inferior to Moltres, it wasn't afraid at all.
Mainly, Arcanine was there; what was Moltres?
It had personally experienced it—Arcanine could easily knock it down with a single swipe.
At the time, it was indignant, thinking it was a sneak attack, and then Arcanine struck again, almost making it question its existence. Then it entered a frenzied mode of grinding to become stronger.
"Gah! Awooo!" (I'm very sorry, this legendary bird wasn't paying attention.)
Moltres finally realized what had happened, immediately retracting its fiery wings and apologizing to Xia Mu.
It had a very bold and straightforward personality, with a somewhat spoiled young lady-like tone. "
Female?"
Xia Mu wondered.
Logically speaking, most legendary Pokémon are genderless, and their system panels are also genderless...
so it's just that the voice sounds like a woman's.
Actually, after hearing Moltres's tone, Xia Mu was somewhat reminded of a certain manga, where anthropomorphized Moltres was really cool and alluring.
Anthropomorphism is good, but every time he thinks about certain Pokémon being genderless, it feels a bit strange.
"It's okay, but you'll have to be careful next time, after all, not everyone is like me and can withstand your heat attack." Xia Mu wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
It was really from the heat.
Knowing that its intense heat had affected Xia Mu, Moltres used some unknown ability to make Xia Mu feel the surrounding temperature drop rapidly.
'Caw—Awooo! Caw—Awooo! Caw—Awooo!' (Human, you are the most powerful Pokémon Trainer this divine bird has ever seen. Tell this divine bird your name, and I will remember it.)
Moltres stared intently at Xia Mu.
These words carried a hint of arrogance.
Perhaps accustomed to being high and mighty, it did indeed possess a certain self-importance when facing any being.
"Xia Mu!" Xia Mu didn't pay attention, casually uttering his name, then removed his mask and glasses.
Xia Mu was unaware that Cassidy of Team Rocket had already woken up, but was pretending to remain unconscious. Cassidy
had also memorized his name, vowing revenge after this ordeal passed.
Moltres nodded upon hearing Xia Mu's name, then looked at the Team Rocket members who were bound by Xia Mu.
A blazing fire of rage flashed in Moltres's eyes, and its aura surged rapidly.
It wanted revenge!
Knowing Moltres was about to erupt and attack the defenseless Team Rocket six, Xia Mu decisively stopped it.
"They're no longer a threat to you. Although they did something terrible to you before, they'll receive their due punishment. As members of an evil organization, the minimum sentence they'll face is spending the rest of their lives in prison, so there's no need to kill them." Xia Mu said, standing between Team Rocket and Moltres.
'Caw—Awooo!' (Even though you saved this legendary bird, you think you can make it let go of its hatred with just a few words? No way!)
Moltres was still quite arrogant.
But then again, if it were Xia Mu, he definitely wouldn't let it go either.
More or less, he'd have to do something to vent his emotions.
"These people are just following orders. If you really want revenge, you need to find the culprit. Or are you saying you can be satisfied just by killing these small fry?" Xia Mu used his words to entice Moltres.
'Caw—Awooo!' (Then tell me, how should this divine bird take revenge?)
Moltres tilted its head, waiting for Xia Mu's answer.
"Come with me. Sooner or later, I'll personally take you to Team Rocket's headquarters and take down their leader, Giovanni!" Xia Mu narrowed his eyes and said.
'Caw—Awooo!' (You want to capture this divine bird?)
Moltres's eyes sharpened.
"That's right! Don't doubt my strength. Since I dare to say this, I naturally have absolute confidence. Speaking of which, I'm actually very curious to know, are you the Fire Moltres Island?" After stating his purpose, Xia Mu voiced his inner question. The
Fire Moltres Island.
Whether he was or not, this made Moltres think that the focus of the question was on that, rather than on the issue of strength.
'Caw—Awooo!' "(This divine bird's training is still insufficient, but one day, I will become the new Moltres!)
" "No wonder! Then I roughly understand why your strength is so weak..." Xia Mu said casually.
These words enraged Moltres.
"Caw—Awooo~~!" (Where is this divine bird weak?)
"If you weren't weak, you wouldn't have been beaten so badly. However, if you come with me, I can help you surpass the Moltres. Only then will you have enough strength to take revenge. Otherwise, with your current strength, you might not even be able to defeat my average Charizard and Dragonite." Xia Mu added.
"Caw—Awooo~~!" (Are you serious?)
Hearing this, Xia Mu was certain.
This Moltres, although arrogant and complacent, seemed... not very bright... easy to fool.
"Of course, you've already seen my strength, so you don't need to worry about whether I have the ability or not." Xia Mu gestured for Moltres to look at the Pokémon present, especially Arcanine, and then added, "The Pokémon present only represent a portion of my strength."
