Hoodlum and Amy stood on either side of each other, leaving a patch of grass in the middle. In front of them, the Magical Frog Seed was fighting with the Walking Grass. The two Pokémon had changed their usual gentle expressions and were looking at each other with serious expressions.
The two of them did not fight because they were at odds with each other. They were now in a forest in front of the Red City. When Amy was feeding her Pokémon as usual, she found that her initial Pokémon Walking Grass was showing signs of evolution. That was why there was this battle. Amy hoped that the Walking Grass could use the experience gained from the battle to evolve smoothly.
"Wondrous Frog Seed, use the vine whip!" Hoodlum and his Pokémon entered combat mode and gave the order to attack first.
In front of him, the seed of Wondrous Frog was already prepared for battle. Its two vine whips attacked forward without hesitation.
"Dodge!" Xiao Mi said hurriedly.
The walking grass heard the order and agilely dodged the attack of the vine whip.
"Walk, use Flying Leaf Fast Blade to counterattack!”
The walking grass instantly adjusted its body in the air and continuously shot its flying blade at the seed of Wondrous Frog like bullets.
The seed of Wondrous Frog retreated a small step in fear as it faced the tight attack of Flying Leaf Swift Blade.
"Don't be afraid, Magical Frog Seed!" Hoodlum glanced at him. It was not easy to dodge such a tight attack." Use the vine whip to defend against the attack!”
The wondrous frog seed instantly regained its fighting spirit. Its two rattan whips were like two extended fists, knocking down all the flying blades that were attacking it.
The battle had reached its climax. Without any new orders from Xiaomi, the walking grass kept using its flying blade. Its offensive was still strong. On the side of the wonderful frog seed, although the two rattan whips blocked the attack, its momentum gradually weakened.
Finally, the vine whips could no longer maintain a tight defense. The two flying blade blades were missed and slashed across the body of the Ingenious Frog Seed, causing it to reveal a pained expression. Then, the two vine whips that were defending stopped, and all the flying blade blades attacked the Ingenious Frog Seed with irresistible force.
"Leap and dodge!" Hoodlum said hurriedly.
The Wondrous Frog Seed quickly retracted its two whips and hit the grass like two springs. The Wondrous Frog Seed was instantly bounced into the air and dodged all the attacks.
Mi looked up at the sky. The seed of Wondrous Frog bounced up high, but it also affected its balance in the air. She quickly seized the opportunity and ordered,"Walk and use Flying Leaf Swift Blade on the Magical Frog seeds in the air!”
The walking grass received the order, but it did not stop the Flying Leaf Swift Knife. Instead, it controlled them to turn and fly into the air. Its target was the Wondrous Frog Seed that was still adjusting its balance.
The Flying Leaf Swift Blade formed a tornado of leaves that swept up the seed of the Wondrous Frog.
After the wind stopped and the leaves scattered, the seed of the wondrous frog fell to the ground. It had lost a lot of stamina, but it still insisted on getting up.
"Walk, and then use the 'Million Power Absorption' skill!”Xiao Mi gave the final order to attack.
However, the Walking Grass did not attack. It refused Xiaomi's order. The Walking Grass cried out nervously and jumped in front of the injured Frog Seed, looking at it apologetically.
The Wondrous Frog Seed saw the Walking Grass and nodded in comfort. The friendship between the two Pokémon prevented the Walking Grass from attacking the injured Wondrous Frog Seed.
Seeing that the Wondrous Frog Seed was fine, the Walking Grass smiled. Then, its body emitted a dazzling white light. It had successfully evolved.
The evolution form of the Walking Grass was the smelly flower. Even the smelly flower raised by Xiao Mi was no different from other flowers of the same kind. It had a dull look on its face and drooled from time to time. It was a little guy that needed to be worried about at all times.
"You did well. Come back and rest.”Hoodlum put away the Wonderful Frog seed and squatted down in front of the smelly flower. He patted its head and comforted it,""Don't worry, the injuries of the wondrous frog seed aren't too serious. It will recover very quickly.”
Upon hearing the words of comfort, a satisfied smile appeared on Smelly Flower's dazed face. Its eyes curved into two crescent moons. Then, a gentle hand stroked its head. Smelly Flower turned around and saw its owner, Xiao Mi, looking at it with a smile.
Just as the atmosphere was getting better, Cher suddenly barked and looked nervously at the grass by the roadside. Hoodlum and Xiao Mi had just turned their attention away when they heard a rustling sound coming from the grass.
"Something is approaching. Shirley, stay alert!”Hoodlum immediately stood up and stared at the source of the sound.
Rice and Stinky Flower stood beside him, forming a battle line.
The two of them didn't have to wait long. A khaki-colored figure dashed out from the grass. It had strong limbs and a steel-like body. It was actually a rock-type magical treasure, Rumbling Rock.
Rumbling Rock saw Hoodlum and the others as soon as he came out of the bushes. He immediately looked vigilant, but neither side attacked. They just looked at each other.
"Please, please wait a moment!" A middle-aged man's voice came from the grass behind Rumbling Rock, breaking the deadlock.
Hoodlum and Xiaomi's expressions softened when they heard someone talking. It seemed that the Pokémon had an owner, so they didn't have to worry about it suddenly attacking.
The owner of the voice came out from the grass. It was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Other than the glasses on his nose, he was dressed like Dr. Oki.
"I'm sorry for scaring you all. My name is Shen Ping, a researcher from Heye Town. You can call me Dr. Shen.”The man who called himself Shen Ping introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Ah Fei from Zhen Xin Town. This is my partner, Xiao Mi.”Hoodlum introduced. Then, he waved his hand and Cher jumped onto his shoulder. She looked at Shen Ping with him while Xiao Mi kept the Stinky Flower.
"Ah Fei! Are you Ah Fei from Zhenxin Town?" Professor Shen shouted excitedly.
Hoodlum was shocked.
"Of course it's me. Why? Am I famous?”Hoodlum asked curiously.
"Of course. You once subdued a huge poisonous sting jellyfish, right? I didn't expect to see you here!”Professor Shen stepped forward and held Ah Fei's hand.""You have to give me an autograph later.”
"No, there's no need." Hoodlum muttered. He had never signed an autograph for anyone, even though the word 'Hoodlum' was easy to write.
"I admire you very much. I was there when you subdued the Stinger Jellyfish, but I was too far away to see you clearly. Later, I found out that you were Ah Fei from Zhenxin Town.”Shen Ping said. He stared at Ah Fei with a golden light in his eyes.
"Uncle, what are you doing here? Isn't Heye Town quite far from here?”Xiao Mi asked to divert Shen Ping's attention, allowing Ah Fei to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Good question, but don't call me uncle. I'm only 27 years old. I'm here for this guy!”Shen Ping adjusted his glasses and took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to the two of them.
Hoodlum and Xiaomi took a look at it. It was a picture of a large golden bird flying with lightning.
" Lightning Bird!?" Xiao Mi said in surprise.
"That's right!" Shen Ping said as he took back the photo.
If it was a real lightning bird, then this photo was really precious.
"You mean there are lightning birds nearby?”Hoodlum was also excited about this. As a trainer, who wouldn't want to see the legendary Three Divine Birds?
"Yes, I've been chasing the Lightning Bird for two years and finally found its tracks recently.”As Shen Ping spoke, he took out a strange device from his pocket. A map was displayed on the screen of the device, and there was a yellow light flashing on the upper right corner of the map.
"This is a tracker I made based on the characteristics of the lightning bird. It's very powerful, right?”Shen Ping explained.
"This is near Heiyun City." Hoodlum said. The location of the yellow light was not far from Heiyun City. He and Xiao Mi had planned to take a detour around Heiyun City, but they did not expect the lightning bird to live there.
"There's an abandoned power station in the outskirts of Black Cloud City. I asked around in the previous city, and the Lightning Bird must be hiding there.”Shen Ping said.
"Can we go with you?”Xiao Mi asked. It seemed that she was also very interested in one of the three divine birds, the lightning bird.
"Of course. Why don't you come with me? Actually, I don't have any confidence in subduing the Lightning Bird. If you can go together, your chances of subduing it will be much greater.”
"You don't mind if we subdue it too?”Hoodlum still found it strange and asked cautiously.
"Hehehehe!" Shen Ping let out a hearty laugh and said,""Actually, I'm just very interested in the research of the Lightning Bird. I've never thought of really subduing it and showing it off.”
This was very similar to Zheng Hui. It should be said that all researchers were like this. They were more concerned about the research of the Pokémon than the training of the Pokémon. However, the methods they used were different. Professor Oki helped the trainer train the Pokémon to complete his research, while Zheng Hui had his own research field. Professor Shen must be the same, constantly working hard for his own research.
"I understand. Let's also help subdue the Lightning Bird.”Hoodlum immediately agreed.
Heiyun City was a highly developed industrial city, but it had sacrificed many things, such as the blue sky and the sea. However, even such a city was still inhabited by a group of special Pokémon, such as the small magnetic monster and its evolved three-in-one magnetic monster, smelly mud, and so on.
"Fortunately, cities like this are rare in the Pokémon world!”Hoodlum looked down at the city from the high ground and sighed. The environment of Heiyun City was much worse than he had imagined.
Hoodlum and the others arrived at Heiyun City at night after deciding to tame the Lightning Bird. From afar, Heiyun City seemed to be giving off an aura that said," Don't come near me." The anxious people weren't in the mood to go in and take a look. They went around the city and came to the seaside. There, they found the long-abandoned power station.
It was an abandoned power station, but there were still a lot of equipment still working. The intact street lamps emitted dim light, which at least meant that the abandoned power station was still generating electricity. It was not difficult to guess why the lightning birds were hiding here.
Just like how the Flame Bird needed to absorb heat and the Freeze Bird needed to live in a cold place, the Lightning Bird needed to absorb a large amount of electricity. Usually, people would only see lightning birds with their eyes during stormy days. Electricity was like the food of lightning birds.
Professor Shen walked in front with his homemade Lightning Bird Detector, while Hoodlum followed behind him cautiously. Xiao Mi was afraid of this eerie environment, so she hugged Hoodlum's arms tightly. Even Shirley seemed to have predicted the danger, so she leaned on Hoodlum's shoulder and was on guard.
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. If they accidentally kicked up the gravel on the road, it would make a loud sound. In the darkness, it was as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the three people walking on the road.
"The main computer room is right in front of us. The detector shows that the Lightning Bird is there.”Professor Shen, who was leading the way, turned around and said softly.
Ah Fei and Xiao Mi nodded and continued to follow Professor Shen. Gradually, the surroundings were no longer quiet. A soft sizzling sound came from the main computer room. When the three of them walked into the broken iron door, the sound became louder. It was the sound of high-voltage electricity coming into contact with the air.
The center of the room was illuminated by something. The three of them hurriedly avoided the machine that was blocking their way. Finally, the huge golden body of the Lightning Bird appeared in their sight.
It was indeed the Lightning Bird. It was the only one in the world that could absorb such high voltage. It had a sharp beak, a golden body, and sharp wings. It was as if electricity had materialized around its body.
Hoodlum really didn't know how to throw the precious ball at it. At this moment, he realized how difficult it was to subdue a mythical beast. However, he couldn't give up this rare opportunity. He held the Master Ball tightly.
The Lightning Bird, whose meal had been interrupted, looked at the trio who had suddenly barged in with its sharp eyes as if it was looking at its prey. Then, it let out an angry cry and disappeared into the sky above the power station.
