Three hundred and twentieth chapters flame bird debut
"According to reliable information, the Flame Bird actually appears periodically near the Quartz Plateau, and the time of its appearance coincides with the Alliance Conference every year. It seems that it comes specifically to snipe the trainers who have obtained 8 badges."
It's a bit like a wild boss that refreshes regularly.
Archer even suspected that this flamingo was a Pokémon officially raised by the Pokémon League, and it came out a few days in advance to build momentum for the competition.
"Domestic flamebirds...?"
Ash secretly thought that with the strength of the Pokémon League, it would not be a big problem to conquer a Flame Bird. After all, even he could conquer a Freeze Bird.
Moreover, the Flame Bird is the God of Fire, and it originally represents the faster, higher and stronger competitive spirit of the league competition. It is reasonable to subdue one to serve as the mascot.
If that's the case, that's just right.
Seeing Xiaozhi looking at him with a fiery face, Archer smiled proudly and continued:
"Don't worry, I've already figured out the map. Flamebirds now randomly appear on the lawns of the Quartz Plateau. The probability of appearing is about 1%, but in the southern area of the plateau, the probability of appearing is 10%."
"But one thing to note is that when chasing, don't use teleportation methods such as flying according to the map, otherwise the flame bird will also teleport."
Xiaozhi: "?"
What kind of riddle operation is this?
"The most important thing is that the Flame Bird has appeared for 2 days. According to intelligence, the Flame Bird will only accept 3 waves of challenges every day. After the 3 waves, it will fly to a place where no one can explore, and use Feather Bird to restore mental and physical strength.
, waiting for the arrival of a new day.”
"Wave?"
Xiaozhi blurted out, secretly wondering what kind of quantifier this was.
"There are four people in one wave. Have you heard of the Dynamax group battle in the Galar region?"
Archer has traveled extensively as a photographer, so he has much more experience than native Kanto people like Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, and Xiaoxia.
In a team battle, four trainers join forces to fight a powerful wild boss. Only the Gigantamax Pokémon in the Galar region have super durability and can face four attacks at the same time.
Now other regions are gradually becoming popular, but the opponents are not Gigantamax Pokémon. After all, this form requires the help of the unique Feng Shui of the Galar region to maintain it.
The target is to replace it with a legendary Pokémon whose blood-skin durability is also extremely high.
It sounds nice, but it's actually just a beating.
"A fight? Normally I quite like it, but this time I want the fire dinosaur to evolve. There's no point in cooperating with others."
Xiaozhi frowned. When he faced the ancient fossil pterosaur, he had briefly cooperated with Xiaomao. One of them used Gengar and the other used Hu Di, and successfully defeated it.
But this time he was more willing to fight alone. For this battle, even if Cammy Turtle and the others ran out of skills on the road to the championship, Xiaozhi was not willing to let the Fire Dinosaur play.
The latter's experience value has actually evolved enough a long time ago, but he has just been holding it in. At this moment, his body's energy is very unstable and may explode on the spot at any time.
The violent fire attribute is much harder to suppress than the insect attribute.
But then again, the Flame Bird can face three waves of challenges every day, that is, 12 trainers. It seems that this magical bird is also very powerful.
"This is the right person to be my opponent!"
I happened to have conquered the Freezing Bird. Let’s see if I can conquer the Flame Bird this time. The Ice and Fire Bird is so beautiful!
Seeing that Xiaozhi was about to leave the Elf Center and turn right, he ran directly into the Quartz Plateau and encountered the wild boss. Archer quickly stopped him.
"Don't worry, don't worry, today's three waves of challenges have ended, we will set off early tomorrow."
Only then did Xiaozhi stop his anxious figure, and started punching on the spot with an itchy heart.
"But it is said that this year's Flame Bird has not been successfully challenged by any trainer. You have to be mentally prepared."
Archer reminded that he should also be prepared tonight and wait to take a set of amateur photos for the Flame Bird tomorrow.
After following him for so many days, he had more or less believed in Xiaozhi's luck, and he would definitely meet the Flame Bird tomorrow.
"If the opponents are all on the road to championships, it will be a big deal if they can beat them."
Xiaozhi waved his hand nonchalantly. After a month of training, he now has great confidence in himself.
...
...
The next day, early morning.
When the first ray of the rising sun fell on the quartz plateau, somewhere in an unknown dark place, a big yellow bird slowly raised its slender neck and head, letting the sunlight shine on its body.
"Puff puff..."
Suddenly, the originally golden skin, wings, hind limbs, and swaying feathers on the tail ignited raging flames out of thin air, flying in the wind.
Then the big bird raised its head, with a continuous flame burning on its forehead, opened its slender beak, and let out a high-pitched cry.
"Beep!!!"
The aura of God and the rising sun descended on the Quartz Plateau at the same time, with an incomparable noble aura, vividly displaying the posture of the legendary God of Fire.
It is the big boss of the wild map, the Flame Bird.
This is its habit of getting up every morning. Whenever the sun rises, it will also chirp loudly to wake up all things from their dreams and revive the vitality of the earth.
That's what the folks call it.
The cock crows.
I saw this flame bird jumping up to a high rock next to it in a few steps, turning its head, raising its wings, its arrogant eyes blinking, as if it was thinking about something.
"Beep..."
Then it sighed, and the face that was so noble just now actually showed a bit of fatigue, like a poor person who had to clock in for work the next day after working overtime all night.
"Hey, it's another day at work, so tiring..."
If Meow Meow were here, he would definitely be able to translate the flame bird's social animal-like language.
Obviously, its intelligence is extremely high, even among the batch of legendary Pokémon. It has a completely human mind, except that it cannot speak.
Archer guessed right, this flame bird is indeed a domestic sacred bird.
But it's not that he was subdued by someone, but that he established a partnership with the Pokémon League and worked for them.
One week before the start of each competition, the Flame Bird will fly on the Quartz Plateau and randomly engage in battles with several waves of trainers.
On the one hand, it is building momentum for the Quartz Conference. The flame bird is the symbol of the Alliance Conference.
On the other hand, they are hurriedly and secretly selecting talents and qualified trainers for Pokémon. All the high-quality talents in the province have been selected by Team Rocket.
"Beep..."
The Flame Bird did a set of warm-up exercises and was ready to set off for today's journey.
But I have to say that the level of trainers is getting higher and higher now. In the past few years, it could fight 5 waves a day. Now, 3 waves is the limit.
For example, the last wave yesterday almost capsized it in the gutter.
The opponents were four Lapras, and they didn't use any other skills. They just put on the scarf and started surfing directly. Not only could they hit them in the face, but the raging waves would also hit their teammates.
The characteristics of the four Lapras are to store water, attack teammates, restore HP, and form a perpetual motion machine.
"Beep..."
Flame Bird frowned. As a god, he could predict crises in advance.
It had a vague premonition that it might be unlucky today. When it thought of this, the flames on its body flickered.
How about taking a challenge today and resting?
"Beep..."
Forget it, when this year's competition is over, I will apply to that old man to retire, and from now on I will be a non-fighting mascot for the competition!
The Flame Bird used self-motivation and his mood recovered.
Then it spread its wings and flew high into the sky, and the golden flame energy fell down in the form of debris.
