Chapter 112: Once You See Suicune, You Will Be Ruined Forever

Xiaozhi finally set off for Yuhong City.

In the evening on Honglian Island, Xiaoxia sat on the windowsill of the first floor of the Crimson Tavern with her chin in her hand, looking at the ebb and flow of the distant coast like a husband-waiting stone.

However, the girl's heart was not with a boy with two lightning marks on his face... at least not yet.

The one who captured the girl's heart was a wolf-shaped Pokémon with a blue body and prismatic white spots.

"How can there be such a powerful and beautiful water-type elf in the world?"

The most gentle and gorgeous of the legendary dog ​​Pokémon, the incarnation of the north wind - Suicune!

After just one encounter, Xiaoxia found that she had fallen deeply in love with this elf.

In this regard, Shuijing, who has been licking Suicune all his life in the neighboring Chengdu area, must have a common language.

Once you see Suicune, you will be wrong for life.

Unfortunately, the person riding Suicune on the sea and heading for Vermilion City was not her, Misty, but Xiaozhi who asked Machado for help...

As the messenger of the King of Phoenix, Machado more or less has the ability to call the King of Phoenix Guards, so after being requested by Xiaozhi, it reluctantly called Suicune as his mount across the sea.

This is certainly not for the fun of watching the King of Phoenix, but to better complete the task, so that the Rainbow Hero candidate who is not good at water can cross the sea and move towards the Yunying Mountains as soon as possible...

As her best brother, if Xiaozhi could understand her crazy hint at the time, it would be great to let him ride Suicune with him.

It's a pity that Xiaozhi is a piece of wood.

Xiaogang: You speak as if you understand your heart.

"?"

"Ahem, don't feel too sorry. We are destined not to go to Yuhong City together this time."

After taking a sip of tea, Xiaogang sighed: "Xia Bo, who promised to return tonight with Qiao Qiao, has not received any news until now. When Xiaozhi and his friends go to assist the international police, someone must help guard this Crimson Tavern and Red Lotus Gym."

"Team Rocket followed us this morning. No matter what those three people want to do, we can't let them succeed."

Xiaoxia naturally understood, but every time Team Rocket appeared, it was to catch Pikachu. Now that Xiaozhi has left, the other party will probably not stay here for long.

I don't know what the brain circuits of those three people are like. Why do they have to take Xiaozhi's Pikachu...

"I hope Xiaozhi, who is not following us, won't cause trouble for the police. By the way, where is his childhood friend?"

Before, Xiaoxia had been obsessed with the back of Suicune, and didn't pay much attention to Zhouyou's movements.

"He thinks that this operation would be safer with the help of Articuno, so in order to make Articuno willing to obey his command, he has taken it to the crater for negotiation."

Xiaogang frowned and said, "According to legend, these legendary Pokémon are very arrogant. I wonder if he can get Articuno's recognition in such a hurry."

Xiaoxia was so shocked that she couldn't speak when she heard this.

She remembered that there were a lot of Xia Bo's fire-type Pokémon near the crater during the daytime visit. Bring Articuno there?

In order to get recognition, take the ice-type Pokémon Articuno to negotiate at the crater?

You are not negotiating, but threatening it to throw it down if it doesn't agree!

But then again, the only place nearby that is relatively hidden and won't let others find Articuno's figure seems to be the True Red Lotus Gym in the crater...

Xiaoxia, who felt sorry for Articuno, had to make a Chibaku Tensei starter: "I hope Articuno is okay."

...

"Articuno, can we talk?"

Arriving at the battle site at the crater, Zhou You released Articuno from the Ultra Ball.

Thinking that he had regained his freedom, Articuno was about to fly high when he suddenly realized that his position seemed to be wrong.

Volcano! ?

"Cry?"

So you have a new way to torture the bird?

No way, I heard that most other humans who captured elves are good for drinking and offering!

"Oh, sorry, I was busy avoiding tourists and forgot that you don't like hot environments."

Zhou You hurriedly put the other party back into the advanced ball with embarrassment: "The Poké Ball can isolate the heat, so let's communicate like this. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I have a way to hear the sound inside the Poké Ball."

Eden will use his perception ability to detect, analyze and translate the cry of Articuno in the Poké Ball, and transmit it to him in the form of phantom sound next to his ear.

"Okay, now we can talk. My name is Zhou You. Can you tell me your name?"

Articuno was stunned. Why did he ask such a difficult question right at the beginning?

The culture of elves is not like that of humans. The name of a single individual is not that important. The name "Freezer" itself represents the name of a group of Articuno.

For Articuno, their race name itself is a sacred heritage inherited from ancient times, which they are most proud of.

Only the most powerful individual in the group of Articuno, who inherited the power of their ancestors, has a special name - the God of Ice.

"So you really have a group."

Zhou You still remembers that there are eggs of the three sacred birds in the Pokémon Snap.

This shows that "undiscovered group" does not mean "eggless group", and the gender ratio of "genderless" does not mean that there is really "no gender".

Now, it seems that the record was made because of the gameplay (not allowing players to hatch Shining) or the scarcity of samples recorded in the illustrated book.

Lava snail: body temperature is 10,000 degrees.

King Whale: density is lighter than air.

Groudon: can actually learn to fly back.

As we all know, a large part of the Pokémon illustrated book (↑) is made up by elementary school students.

"Then let me ask you, what is your gender?"

Articuno: Why do you ask this? It has nothing to do with you. I won't lay eggs with you.

"Then Ditto..."

Zhou You forcibly stopped the question that almost blurted out, "Can Ditto?"

Once this question was asked, the friendship boat might capsize before it was built.

After consideration, Zhou You tactfully told Articuno the reason why he captured the other party - to complete the illustrated book.

In fact, Pokémon are not just captured and sent to Professor Oak. At least they must cooperate actively and not cause trouble during the expert inspection.

In other words, the two principles of "informed" and "voluntary" must be met.

As long as Articuno can cooperate with Professor Oak to do some physical examinations and experiments, and does not cause trouble or hurt people in the process, he will release Articuno back to the Twin Islands after everything is over, and present a delicate gift full of heart (provided by Professor Oak).

But before that, Zhou You still hopes that Articuno can provide assistance in the operation against Team Rocket.

Faced with Zhou You's behavior of getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later, Articuno did not hesitate much, and finally chose to agree:

"It's not that I can't agree, but you must meet my three conditions!"
