Chapter 86 Team Rocket's Trail! Moltres
descends into night.
With Mewtwo's help, Natsuki crossed the ocean and arrived at Fulfilled Island.
To investigate, to see the true situation of Fulfilled Island, and to determine the main cause of the eruption of Mount Luminosity, Natsuki came here.
Tsubaki Island isn't far from Fulfilled Island, but by boat, or by using Red Tyranitar to cross the sea, it would still take some time. Even flying with Pidgeotto and Dragonite couldn't compare to Mewtwo's psychic abilities.
The two arrived above the island in just a few minutes.
Night had fallen, making Mount Luminosity even clearer, especially with volcanic lava occasionally erupting from the crater and flowing along the valleys and canyons throughout the island.
After this disaster, the entire island's landscape would change. Even the areas near the sea would remain habitable, but the thick volcanic smoke would block sunlight.
For the next few weeks, even months, without external intervention, the entire island would enter a period of darkness.
Not only would it be unsuitable for life, but countless plants would also die as a result.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Xia Mu asked Mewtwo.
Mewtwo was surrounded by a pale purple light, its blue-glowing eyes constantly scanning the island.
This ability was indeed convenient. Xia Mu had actually tried using his own aura to scan, but he couldn't get too far away from his body.
He was far from being able to do what Aaron in the Aura Hero movie could do.
The only advantage was that as his control over his aura became more proficient, his physical abilities improved.
"There are quite a few signs of life detected on the island, including many humans and many Pokémon. Most are in safe areas, there's no danger..."
"As for those with exceptionally strong abilities, I haven't found any..."
With that, Mewtwo raised its hand and unleashed its psychic power on Xia Mu.
Before Xia Mu could reply, his vision suddenly brightened.
Psychic powers had been added to his eyes, granting him shared vision.
"So clear, it's like it's right in front of me," Xia Mu exclaimed in surprise, then began to examine the island's current state with his own eyes.
It had to be said, it was indeed as effective as close-range aura perception.
This further solidified Xia Mu's resolve to train diligently. He couldn't afford to stagnate just because he already possessed this ability; he had to continuously develop this supernatural power.
Only when he was strong enough could he avoid relying solely on Pokémon's power when facing danger.
Scanning the island, he finally focused his attention on the central volcano, Mount Lantern.
"Wait, there are still people up there?" Xia Mu discovered several people during his scan.
At the critical moment of the volcanic eruption, people dared to remain in the most dangerous area.
Mewtwo followed suit, and with its enhanced psychic power, an even clearer image was projected directly into both its and Xia Mu's minds.
The group consisted of four people, led by a woman. They were all dressed similarly, and each had a Pokémon that appeared to be quite powerful.
"The woman in the lead looks familiar..." Xia Mu said hesitantly.
After all, the original story involved too many characters, many of whom only appeared once or twice, but were still important figures. "Besides them, there are six more people in the crater." Mewtwo's words drew Xia Mu's attention, and he looked towards a hidden corner of the crater.
That area was right in the lava-flowing zone; it would be easy to miss without careful observation.
There was a raised pile of rocks, protected from being submerged by lava, and on it, not only were six people operating some kind of machinery, but there was also a specially designed flying vehicle.
"Team Rocket!" A prominent 'R' on their black clothing—who else could it be but Team Rocket? Moreover, Xia Mu recognized the two leaders immediately.
It was Yamato and Kosaburo.
"Team Rocket, it's those despicable guys again..." Mewtwo's emotions were slightly out of control.
Clearly, Team Rocket was a major taboo in its heart. Not only was it created by Team Rocket, but it had also been deceived by them and forced to do many wrong things.
After escaping Giovanni's control, it learned through in-depth investigation that Team Rocket was an evil organization, and it was the shadow cast by Team Rocket that filled its heart with hatred.
Although much has been resolved and Mewtwo has started a new life under Xia Mu's guidance, encountering Team Rocket again makes it impossible for it to feel at peace.
Mewtwo's first thought is that this disaster must have been caused by Team Rocket; otherwise, what are they doing here? "Don't get agitated. I really want to know their purpose. Perhaps, as I suspect, a Moltres lives here, and they came for Moltres..." Xia Mu sensed Mewtwo's emotional fluctuations and tried to dissuade it.
If it acted recklessly, things would become even more complicated.
"Moltres?" Mewtwo looked at Xia Mu suspiciously, very curious.
Hearing this, Xia Mu used his Aura to draw a pattern of Moltres and related information, transmitting it to Mewtwo.
This is another use of Aura besides telepathic communication, but it has significant limitations; the content cannot be too much or too complex.
"The God of Fire? Is this the legendary Pokémon you mentioned, the one in this world whose uniqueness can compare to mine?" Mewtwo reacted immediately after receiving this information, continuing, "If it's this bird Pokémon, I did scan it inside this volcano, but its strength is just average..."
"Uh~" Xia Mu was embarrassed.
The definition of "average strength" seemed to have some issues.
Moltres's strength, compared to Mewtwo, was indeed definitely inferior.
Mewtwo's initial level was 80, and it's currently level 85. Moltres, on the other hand, should be at most between level 50 and 70, and couldn't possibly exceed that level.
It should be noted that Moltres in the game is only level 50.
Moreover, Moltres that isn't from Fire Island is merely a rare Pokémon disguised as a legendary Pokémon, possibly not even a second-tier legendary.
"Movara is indeed a legendary Pokémon, but it's only among the weakest of them all. The legendary Pokémon I mentioned earlier that are comparable to you are mostly unique, one in a million. I call those 'Tier 1 Gods'," Xia Mu said.
"Tier 1 God?" Another new term made Mewtwo fall into deep thought.
"Yes! Movara doesn't qualify as a Tier 1 God; it's only a Tier 2 God," Xia Mu added.
Hearing this, Mewtwo gave Xia Mu a deep look.
