"Oh my! What... what is that?" Misty's eyes widened as she looked at the giant figure flying towards them in the distance.
Boom!!!
At this moment, the gigantic figure continuously approached. The closer it got, the larger its size became. Its size had even caught up to that giant Pokémon they had seen at Professor Elm's place.
And at this moment, it was emitting lightning, flashing to illuminate its body. Its entire body was covered in golden feathers like metal, with a pair of sharp beaks. When flying, it flapped its huge wings, creating a powerful air pressure.
"Is it a Pokémon?" When it discharged electricity, they could vaguely see its true face, but even Brock had never seen such a Pokémon.
Ash, of course, knew what Pokémon it was, but he genuinely didn't know what to say for a moment. It was Zapdos, a legendary Pokémon, but its size was several times larger than a normal Zapdos.
However, that wasn't the real Zapdos. He just didn't expect them to stumble upon this place.
"Don't worry about it for now, leaving here is the priority!" Ash said, picking up his backpack and speaking to the two.
The two immediately acted, not bothering to pack up their tent. They each grabbed their backpacks and ran outside. Ash, seeing this, immediately took out his Poké Balls.
"Everyone, come back quickly!"
Ash took out his Poké Balls, and beams of light shot out from them, first recalling Pidgeotto. However, at this moment, the Zapdos in the sky seemed to notice the group below.
Screech!!!
It let out a long cry, then its entire body erupted with a strong high-voltage current, directly released from the sky. The lightning struck the ground, splitting a long trail in front of them, and flames immediately ignited.
The lightning pillar rushed towards the group. Ash's Poké Ball light shot out, but before he could recall the other Pokémon, the lightning struck, directly interrupting the process.
Boom!!!
"Ah!!!" The lightning unleashed astonishing power. A roaring sound erupted, followed by a massive explosion. The Pokémon were blown away by this force, as were Ash and the others. Misty screamed.
The Pokémon crashed into each other, while Ash and the others were sent flying to the other side.
"Pikachu!"
Screech!! Boom boom boom!!
Ash got up, but before he could get close to Pikachu and the others, the Zapdos in the sky let out another cry. This time, it directly released several electric currents in all directions. Under such a fierce offensive, everyone could only dodge.
Screech!!!
At this moment, a sound came from the other side, another roar. A giant figure appeared on the other side, as large as the Zapdos.
It also had golden fur, but flames burned on its head and wings. It was also a Pokémon that Brock and Misty didn't recognize, but Ash knew it was Moltres.
Moltres opened its mouth and directly spewed out a giant pillar of fire towards the ground, heading straight for Pikachu and the others. Pikachu and the others had no choice but to quickly dodge into the distance.
"Another one? What do we do?" Misty was a little scared. Ash looked at the Pokémon fleeing in panic. Zapdos was also discharging electricity towards them, and they couldn't get close.
"Let's leave first!" Ash glanced at Pidgeotto's Poké Ball, then at Pikachu and the others, who were already out of sight on the other side. He had no choice but to retreat.
The three retreated first, with Zapdos continuing its pursuit, while on the other side, Pikachu and the others were being chased by Moltres.
"It's catching up!"
Running forward, the sound of thunder came from behind. Misty turned her head and saw that the opponent was flying in the sky, while they were running on the ground. This was not a good situation.
"There's a cave ahead. Let's go in and take cover!" Ash ran while looking around. Seeing a cave not far away, he immediately said to Misty and Brock.
The two didn't say much upon hearing this and quickly followed Ash into the cave. Zapdos's attack missed, and after no longer seeing Ash and the others, it finally flew away into the distance.
On the other side
Bang!!!!
Moltres pursued Pikachu and the others, releasing intense flames again. When it struck the ground, a powerful explosion occurred. Pikachu and Eevee were both blown away by the explosion and landed on the ground, all lying down.
Moltres in the sky saw no movement around and continued to fly forward. The entire island fell silent again. Not long after Moltres and Zapdos left.
The sky began to lighten. The sun rose from the horizon, and the perilous night finally passed.
Splash splash splash!!!!
Waves crashed onto the beach. On the beach, a charred trail extended into the forest. At this moment, on the beach, a pair of ears twitched slightly.
Pika??
Pikachu woke up from his unconsciousness and immediately looked around. He didn't see Ash and the others, only Eevee and the others nearby.
Pikachu: Pika Pika (Is everyone okay?)
Pikachu went to Charmander nearby and nudged it. The other Pokémon around also gradually woke up upon hearing this.
Charmander: Lee!! (Where is this??)
Eevee: Eevee! (Who knows!)
Squirtle: Squirtle? (Where are Ash and the others?)
Axew: Axew! (They seem to have been attacked too. I wonder how they are now!)
The Pokémon communicated. The previous situation was indeed too perilous. They had no choice but to flee for their lives. Hearing this, Pikachu was also a little worried.
Pikachu: Pika Pika! (We need to find them quickly!)
Squirtle: Squirtle Squirtle! (Maybe they've already been eaten by that monster.)
Charmander: Lee!! (No way!)
Hearing Squirtle's words, Charmander broke out in a cold sweat and shouted in panic.
The other Pokémon looked at Squirtle somewhat speechlessly. This guy used to be the leader of the Squirtle Squad. Although he had been caught by Ash, he still couldn't get rid of his mischievous habits.
Pikachu: Pika Pika!! (Don't talk nonsense. Ash and the others will be fine.)
Pikachu retorted sternly. The other Pokémon also looked at it disapprovingly. Squirtle then awkwardly scratched his head.
Squirtle: Squirtle Squirtle! (I was just making a joke to lighten the mood!)
All the spirits: (Not funny at all!)
