Chapter 207: Articuno Capture

“Flula, didn’t you say that this festival is an annual tradition and not difficult? The actual situation is completely different from what you said!”

Xiaozhi held down his hat which was nearly blown away by the sea breeze. Since going out to sea, the sea which had been calm began to rage again. The boat was shaking, and only Pikachu stood on the bow, steady as an old dog.

"The weather this year is indeed a bit abnormal. I grew up on Asia Island and have only seen a few storms of this magnitude."

"Hold on, get ready to land on the island!"

Xiaomei, who was operating the speedboat in front, shouted loudly.

"Landing on the island? Wait, how is that possible with such large waves? Let's wait until the wind and waves are smaller..."

Xiaoxia glanced at the Fire Island not far away. The surging waves kept surging onto the island and then receding. Under such circumstances, it was a fantasy to want to land on the island.

"This is it."

Everyone only felt a huge wave forming under the boat. Several people suddenly lost their balance and hurriedly grabbed the handrails.

Only Xiaomei's tone was a little excited, and then she stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

"Is it possible? Miss Xiaomei, are you kidding me? This is outrageous!"

As if seeing Xiaomei's intention, Xiaogang's eyes flashed with a trace of fear, and he quickly spoke out to stop her.

"Get ready for takeoff. Hold on to the handrails. I won't help you if you fall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge wave rose, and the entire ship flew into the air on the wave.

"what!"

The ship forcibly landed on the Fire Island and only stopped after it had rowed several meters away.

"Everything is alright, how's my driving skills? They're pretty good, right?"

Seeing that they had landed safely, Xiaomei turned around and looked behind her: "One, two, three... Yeah, five in total, not one less."

"..."

"Miss Xiaomei is too fierce. I'm afraid I can't control her. Ugh~"

Xiaogang, who had just regained some consciousness, felt a little nauseous and quickly stuck his head out of the boat.

"It's a pity that the bottom plate is damaged. If the weather is still like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to visit the other two islands."

Xiaomei inspected the ship and didn't find any major problems.

"The most urgent task is to get the treasure from Fire Island first."

Xiaozhi looked around and found a staircase extending to the top of the mountain: "The treasure is at the top of the mountain, Pikachu!"

"Pikapi!"

Pikachu jumped onto Xiaozhi's shoulder, and the two of them couldn't wait to climb up the stairs to the top of the mountain.

"Really? This guy is still so impatient."

Xiaoxia wanted to follow, but looked at Xiaomei with some concern.

"It's okay, go ahead. I'll just fix the damaged parts of the boat."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Hearing this, Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao felt relieved and climbed towards the top of the mountain. Xiaogang looked at Xiaomei with lingering fear, and after some struggle, he followed Xiaoxia away.

On the other side, Ash and Pikachu have reached the end of the stairs.

There was an altar standing on the top of the Fire Island, which seemed to be offering sacrifices to something.

Xiaozhi walked forward slowly. It was a transparent bead with fiery red markings.

"Is this the treasure of the Fire Island? It looks like a rare item. It won't be stolen if it is placed on an isolated island."

Although I am a little puzzled, as long as I take the other two beads, I should be able to see the legendary God of the Sea Lugia, and then the secret of the GS ball will be revealed...

"Pikapi!"

Just as Xiaozhi was daydreaming, Pikachu exclaimed.

"What's wrong Pikachu?"

Xiaozhi turned his eyes away from the treasure and saw a snowflake come into view, "Snow?"

"How is this possible! It was raining heavily just now, and it's summer now!"

"Wu!"

Just as Xiaozhi was looking at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, wondering what was going on, a loud and long cry was heard.

Xiaozhi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a divine bird with an icy blue body slowly appearing under the cliff where the altar was. It had a pair of blue wings made of ice, and its tail was shining with a strange light, looking extremely elegant.

"Articuno?!!"

Xiaozhi recognized the opponent at a glance. He had seen this Pokémon in the hands of gym owner Dara when challenging the Battle Frontier in the Kanto region, but it was far less oppressive than the one in front of him.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu sensed the hostility coming from the other party and protected Xiaozhi, with the electric bags on both sides of his cheeks flashing with electronic sparks, ready to attack at any time.

"No, Pikachu!"

Xiaozhi stopped Pikachu with a serious expression. The feeling he gave from this Articuno was completely different from the one with Dara. This guy was full of divinity, as if he was not a Pokémon from this mortal world.

"Wu!"

Looking at the two people in front of him who were beginning to retreat, Articuno revealed a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he didn't take the two guys in front of him seriously.

Suddenly, Articuno let out a sharp cry, looked up at the thick clouds, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

I saw a huge fortress breaking through the clouds and slowly appearing in the sight of several people.

"Wu!"

The moment it saw the fortress, Articuno exuded strong hostility, and its wings grown from extreme ice vibrated, and it rushed towards the aerial fortress.

"What a beautiful Pokémon, Real Bird, get the Pyroblast ready."

"Yes!"

Following an order from Boss Sakaki, gun barrels extended from both sides of the fortress, and countless fire bombs poured out.

"Launch the capture device and use the pyroblast bomb to block its route."

The hatch under the fortress opened, and several square capture devices flew out. Feeling the threat posed by the other party, Articuno turned around and evacuated downwards.

"Why are you coming this way?!"

Seeing Articuno diverting the trouble, Ash quickly took Pikachu and hid aside, but when the capture device passed by Pikachu, it sensed the Pokémon's vital signs and turned around to surround Ash and Pikachu.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

Seeing that they were about to be trapped, Xiaozhi quickly gave orders.

Zizizi!

Before Pikachu could react, the capture device released a powerful blue electric current in the next second. Ash and the other two were hit hard and lost consciousness.

On the other side, facing the fire bomb and the automatic tracking capture device, Articuno was confused for a moment and was locked and trapped by the capture device. It then emitted a strong blue electric current and immediately lost its ability to resist.

"Articuno has been successfully recovered, but it seems that some extra things were also captured in the process of capturing Articuno."

Dr. Nanbo frowned and said as he looked at the data coming from the instrument in his hand.

"Extra things? It's interesting that there are other life forms on this isolated island where gods live."

Sakaki sneered, then stood up and left his seat: "Let's go and see who the uninvited guest is."
