Chapter 107

[Lorelei now has a belly full of fire with nowhere to vent. If it weren't for this guy causing trouble, she would still be celebrating the festival on Shamouti Island, so how would she encounter such troublesome things now.]

[For this guy who was frozen into an ice sculpture, Lorelei only has two words—deserves it.]

[The culprit, the Flying Palace, has been destroyed, and Moltres and Zapdos are breathing the air of freedom in the sky.]

[Three minutes later, after resting enough, the next step is a big battle.]

[For Articuno, who rescued them from the Flying Palace, Moltres and Zapdos have no gratitude, especially Zapdos. After seeing Lightning Island frozen, it completely erupted.]

[Just like that, the three Pokémon with long-standing grievances started a century-long battle.]

["What should we do now?" Lorelei's head is about to explode.]

[Lorelei, born on 4 Island, knows very well how strong the three legendary birds are. With her strength, facing Articuno alone is already very strenuous, and fighting three alone is impossible.]

["Go to the shrine and see if the Lightning Orb is still there," Xia Si reminded.]

[They didn't come to Lightning Island to overturn the three legendary birds. Finding the orb and bringing it back to Shamouti Island is their true purpose.]

[After receiving Xia Si's reminder, Lorelei immediately woke up, and the two quickly headed towards the shrine.]

[At this moment, the three legendary birds fighting in the sky seemed to see through Xia Si and Lorelei's intentions. The three of them actually stopped fighting tacitly and flew directly towards where Xia Si and the others were.]

[The three legendary birds hadn't arrived yet, but all kinds of skills had arrived in advance.]

[Fire, lightning, ice, the three energies intertwined, and even the air was torn apart.]

["Come out, Jynx, Lapras, Dewgong," Lorelei summoned three Pokémon in one breath.]

[Under Lorelei's command, the three Pokémon began to create ice walls for defense at the same time.]

[When Lorelei was taking action, Xia Si was not idle either.]

["Venusaur, Protect."]

[Venusaur's huge body blocked in front of Lorelei and Xia Si, making people feel very secure.]

[It's a pity that this sense of security lasted less than ten seconds. The ice walls created by the three Ice-type Pokémon were instantly broken through. If Xia Si hadn't summoned Venusaur in advance, the skills of the three legendary birds would have hit him and Lorelei.]

[He doesn't matter; even if he took the damage of the three legendary birds head-on, it wouldn't be a big deal. Lorelei is different; she is a flesh-and-blood body. If she were really hit by the skills of the three legendary birds, she might really die.]

Lance: "He doesn't matter. Awesome, in the whole world, only Black Xia Si dares to say this."

Steven: "Bruno, don't be a coward. As the former strongest man in the world, tell Lance that you can do it too."

Bruno: "I, I, I can do a fart!"

This is the combined attack of the three legendary birds, and its power is no worse than Lugia's hateful blow.]

If he really bit the bullet and took it, he probably wouldn't die, but lying in a hospital bed for three to five years is the minimum.]

Diantha: "What about Lugia? Why hasn't Lugia appeared yet? Without Lugia, it's not easy to fight."

Cynthia: "That's not necessarily true. Believe that Black Xia Si can create miracles."

["Return, Venusaur," Xia Si said with a solemn expression as he recalled Venusaur into the Poké Ball.]

[The opponent's ferocity exceeded Xia Si's expectations. The strength of the combined three legendary birds has already surpassed the Mewtwo he encountered on New Island.]

["Mew, can you do it?" Xia Si communicated with Mew using Aura.]

["One-on-one is fine, two-on-two is also fine, but there are three opponents now!!!" Mew's meaning is very clear: don't think about head-on collisions, run away quickly.]

Gary: "I understand one-on-one, but what does two-on-two mean? Could it be that Mew has already sensed that Lugia is coming to help?"]

Korrina: "NO, NO, NO, my understanding is that Mew's so-called two-on-two is it and Black Xia Si facing two opponents."]

Diantha: "Bingo, you got it right."]

Brawly: "Why is the gap between people so big? I'm still struggling to fight a Machop now. Black Xia Si can already fight legendary Pokémon, and not just ordinary legendary Pokémon."]

Roxanne: "Reflect on yourself properly. As a gym leader of a Fighting Gym, you can't even steadily win against a Machop. I suggest you go home and sell tofu."]

Cynthia: "Wait, I suddenly remembered one thing. If Lugia comes, wouldn't that be three-on-three?"]

Lance: "Sigh, it seems to be the case!"]

[Just as Xia Si was about to take Lorelei and run away, at this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from the seabed. Accompanied by the appearance of a water tornado rushing into the sky, Lugia appeared.]

["I'll block them, you guys hurry up and find the Ice Orb."]

[Lugia communicated with Xia Si through telepathy.]

["Okay."]

[Xia Si nodded reflexively, and then just as he was about to walk towards the shrine, he suddenly realized something wrong.]

[That's not right. Once Lugia comes, isn't it three-on-three now?]

[And the strength of their trio is obviously stronger than the opponent's trio. Since that's the case, why do they still have to sneakily go and collect the Ice Orb?]

[Just beat the sons of bitches directly!]

[Daring to hurt his cute Venusaur, these three guys must never be forgiven!]

[Xia Si stopped his footsteps, turned his head to look at Lugia, and said, "Can you block Zapdos and Moltres? Just five minutes is enough."]

["Ah?" Lugia hadn't reacted to what was going on yet. It just nodded habitually, "There shouldn't be any problem."]

[At any rate, it is also a Tier 1 god, and nominally the superior of the three legendary birds. Blocking two, and only for five minutes, there is definitely no problem.]

["What do you want to do?"]

[Lugia is not an idiot. It quickly understood Xia Si's intention. It tried to persuade Xia Si to give up this crazy idea. These are not ordinary three legendary birds; these are the three legendary birds in Wang Wei's poem.]

[Xia Si has already made up his mind. Lugia's persuasion is useless at all. He gave Mew on his shoulder a look. Mew understood and began to transform.]

[Red and green intertwined wings, tail feathers emitting seven-colored light, a sacred and unviewable face.]

[Legendary Pokémon—Ho-Oh, appears in the world.]

[???????]

[???????]

[Lorelei was dumbfounded.]

[Lugia came, this was still within her expectations. After all, there are traces of Lugia in the legends of Shamouti Island, and Lugia itself inhabits the Orange Archipelago. But what the hell is Ho-Oh? No one ever told her Ho-Oh would come too. And this Ho-Oh appeared from Xia Si's side. Who can tell her what happened?]

Diantha: "Can't blame Lorelei; if it were me, I would be confused too. In this short minute, too many things have happened."]

Cynthia: "I guessed it right. This time it's really three-on-three."]

Alder: "Xia Si chose Articuno as his target? Then you can mourn for Articuno. With Mew and Xia Si joining forces, even Mewtwo is no match, let alone Articuno."]

Bruno: "I can enjoy Black Xia Si's performance again, Hasa-ge!"]

[Ho-Oh? Why would Ho-Oh appear here?]

[It's not just Lorelei who is confused; Lugia is also confused.]

[Didn't its old brother say it had already despaired of humans? Didn't it say it hadn't appeared in human sight for 150 years?]

[What happened today? Not only did it appear, but it also became a human's hired thug? This is not scientific!]

[After being confused for a few seconds, Lugia gradually came back to its senses. This is not Ho-Oh.]

[Unlike the pair in Hoenn, Ho-Oh and Lugia have a very good relationship. They once spent a very wonderful time together in Ecruteak City. It wasn't until 150 years ago, when the Bell Tower it inhabited was ignited by lightning, that they separated.]

[Having lived together in the same city for hundreds of years, no one is more familiar with Ho-Oh than Lugia.]

[At this moment, the Ho-Oh in the sky only has the form, not the spirit. It is not Ho-Oh.]

[Lorelei also slowly realized at this time that Ho-Oh was transformed by the Ralts on Xia Si's shoulder.]

["Ditto?" Lorelei muttered to herself, "No, no, it can't be Ditto."]

[Ditto's transformation is essentially imitation. Without a model to pose, it is impossible for Ditto to transform out of thin air.]

[It's not Ditto, and it has the ability to change. Could it be?]

[Lorelei widened her eyes.]

["Move quickly, Lugia." Seeing that Lugia had been slow to take action, Xia Si, who had already boarded "Ho-Oh" and was preparing to take off, urged quickly.]

["Oh, oh, okay, okay."]

[Under Xia Si's urging, Lugia took action. It rushed into the sky to face Zapdos and Moltres, while Articuno was isolated outside the battlefield.]

[The legendary God of the Sea still has strength. Although it is one-on-two, its performance is effortless.]

[Just Moltres and Zapdos alone have no way to pose a threat to Lugia.]

[After confirming that Lugia can complete the task assigned to it, Xia Si and Mew also took action.]

[Sacred Fire.]

[Ho-Oh's signature skill.]

[The legendary three beasts Suicune, Entei, and Raikou were resurrected by Ho-Oh using Sacred Fire.]

[Of course, Mew's Sacred Fire definitely doesn't have this effect; it's just a damaging skill.]

[At this time, Articuno also felt that something was wrong. It wanted to return to the main force to rendezvous with Moltres and Zapdos. Being a single bird really doesn't have a sense of security.]

["Now you're feeling brotherly love? It's too late!!!"]

[Xia Si on Mew's back began to frantically hand-rub Aura Spheres.]
