Chapter 1413: Zeraora's counterattack

After picking up Incineroar, who had learned "Self-Destruct," Su Hao and Articuno then went to Lightning Island.

Baby Lugia was left on Fire Island at Moltres's strong request. Moltres said it would wait until it took Baby Lugia to play on the beach of Fire Island for a while to relieve the loneliness of not seeing each other for a week, and then it would catch up.

This time, there was no need to go to the deepest part of the thunderclouds to find Zapdos. Articuno could sense that Zapdos was currently among the countless mountain peaks, where the sound of thunder was the most deafening.

When they got closer and closer to the auras of Zapdos and Zeraora, what they saw was a sea of thunder formed by lightning falling from the thunderclouds in the sky.

Dense lightning formed a sea of thunder that shook the heart, and the dense thunder that vibrated the eardrums played continuously.

What happened here?

If you want to say who knows Zapdos best, Articuno must be one of them. They are both the three legendary birds that succeeded to the throne after the great war, and in a sense, they are considered new gods of the same period.

Although it had psychological preparation before, when actually feeling it at close range, Articuno still sighed:

【Zapdos has become stronger. I am afraid that neither Moltres nor I will be able to contend with it for a period of time in the future.】

Unwilling?

That is naturally there.

No matter what, Zapdos is of the same period as them. If it suddenly becomes stronger, it would be strange if Articuno didn't have a little bit of unwillingness.

Su Hao also noticed Articuno's emotions, patted its back, and promised: "100,000 years ago, I met two friends who both play with ice. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to them."

"If that doesn't work, wait until I find the Icicle Plate fragment. By then, you can comprehend it as you please, and you will catch up."

A warm current rose in Articuno's heart, and a smile appeared involuntarily:

【Then I will have to look forward to it.】

In the sea of thunder, Zapdos also noticed the two auras blocked by the sea of thunder outside. Zapdos spoke to the figure in the sea of thunder that was constantly floating in the air by relying on a strong magnetic field and moving at high speed to dodge the lightning:

【Zeraora, Yi... Su Hao and Articuno are here to pick you up. Go and show the success you have trained during this period.】

Zapdos was in a very good mood. It wasn't just that with the help of the Zap Plate fragment, its strength, which had been stagnant for who knows how many years, had improved to a certain extent in this week.

And Zeraora's talent didn't let it down. When the teaching was halfway through, Zapdos was no longer teaching it because of the Zap Plate fragment.

It now truly wanted to see how far Zeraora could advance.

In the sea of thunder, Zeraora, whose eyes seemed to reflect the sea of thunder and also seemed to contain the sea of thunder, paused its movements and nodded gently.

The next instant, the sea of thunder that Zapdos controlled the lightning power to bring down from the clouds ceased, and Zeraora also took the opportunity to release vast lightning from the pads on its hands and feet, forming a stronger magnetic field, turning into a swift bolt of thunder and galloping toward Su Hao's direction.

Su Hao only felt a blur before his eyes, and Zeraora, whose aura was still in the sea of thunder and mountain peaks just now, had arrived in front of him.

At this time, Zeraora was draped in ten thousand bolts of thunder, with dots of sparks dotted within, and its style points were completely maxed out!

There was only one adjective in Su Hao's mind that could describe Zeraora now.

Very handsome Zeraora, makes my brain spin.

Undoubtedly, the momentum condensed around Zeraora at this time was already in the category of the mid-Gym Leader level.

It seems that Zeraora only improved by a small level after special training with the God of Thunder, which is very disappointing, but Su Hao knows very well that Zeraora's special training direction is the control of lightning power, not the God of Thunder's transmission of power.

Zapdos, who flew over immediately after, also explained this point.

Zapdos first exchanged a look with Articuno, and they both chose to descend in altitude to come to a corner of the mountain peak. After Su Hao and Zeraora stood firmly on the ground, Zapdos's telepathy also sounded accordingly.

【Its talent is very good, and its learning speed is even more amazing than the most outstanding Zapdos in my clan. Originally, I intended to teach it the special heavenly thunder I control, but... it seems it already has special lightning.】

【This kind of blue lightning that can create a strong magnetic field and even grant it short-term flight ability before the lightning is exhausted

will not be inferior to my lightning much if it continues to be developed. It seems very unusual.】

Even if you don't listen to the tone, it's not hard to see from Zapdos's statement that it is very satisfied with Zeraora.

While stroking the head of the big cat, which was exceptionally clingy after not seeing it for a week and pounced over to ask for a hug, Su Hao smiled at Zapdos: "I actually heard about it from Articuno. Do you remember the sealed ruins under the canyon in a certain secret realm? Zeraora and the Zap Plate fragment were discovered by me in the ruins."

"Now that secret realm has merged with reality and turned into a new terrain."

Zapdos was stunned for a moment, its gaze met with Articuno's, and looking at Articuno, who nodded slightly, Zapdos laughed in surprise:

【I didn't expect that there would be such a fate between me and it. It's truly wonderful.】

Zapdos obviously also remembered the ruins it encountered many years ago that could withstand its lightning strikes, and sighed at what kind of wonderful fate this was.

"Zera Zera!"

Zeraora didn't quite understand what Su Hao and the others were talking about. After acting spoiled, it started to happily take out the Zap Plate fragment and looked at Su Hao as if asking for credit.

At this time, the Zap Plate fragment was completely different from before, emitting a magic that seemed to be able to absorb people's sight. Even if it were changed to someone who didn't understand anything, they would know that this broken plate must be a good thing.

Su Hao said in surprise: "This is... activated?"

Zapdos's voice sounded accordingly.

【I keep my word. In the future, let it contemplate the mysteries in the plate fragment more. Even I cannot fully comprehend the infinite mysteries inside. Zeraora, who holds it... the future is completely unpredictable.】

This point doesn't need Zapdos to remind him, Su Hao would also do so. Milotic, who benefited from the plate fragment last time, has now gained the power to defeat legendary Pokémon of the same level.

Su Hao is very much looking forward to how Zeraora can strengthen its own lightning by relying on the Zap Plate fragment in the future, or steal the power of that Electric-type legendary Pokémon.

Zeraora also took this opportunity to show Su Hao the results of its special training this week.

The first is that Zeraora's control over lightning power has improved qualitatively. The Plasma Fists that would originally be dispersed by the ground can now be concentrated on one point, exerting full power.

Besides that, with the greatly improved control over lightning power now, Zeraora is not far from completing the side-effect-free Magnetic Field Rotation.

This means that its combat power will usher in a major counterattack.
