Chapter 147 Meteorite and Crystal
boom!
Boom!
"Bonnie!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the thorny vines striking the ice, and the joyful cry of the Egui Peng as if "mission accomplished," the frozen head of the "Dual-Bird" was once again exposed to the air.
"Hmph..."
"If I say you're a lazy cat, then you're a lazy cat. You even have to do things like breaking ice blocks for me."
Ze Shu squeezed the little hand of E Gui Peng, which had run back and was hidden under the straw hat, and smelled the citrus scent it emitted. He then spoke to the pink kitten floating beside him.
As expected, Dream got anxious again.
It retorted, its mouth agape as it chewed on a cookie:
[Dreamy isn't a lazy cat!]
【Ze Shu, you're the lazy cat!】
【All I do is sleep and eat a little more, how can you call me a lazy cat!】
Hearing this righteous rebuttal, Ze Shu remained silent for a while.
With your appetite comparable to Snorlax's, you didn't eat "a little" at all!
After a long pause, he spoke in a submissive tone, as if listening to a fool:
"Then you're right."
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng proudly put her hands on her hips and exclaimed, "Hehe!"
Ze Shu said, "That's not a lazy cat's fantasy. Why aren't you working yet?"
Dreamy, then her face fell:
Working is so boring...
Despite saying that, Dream still floated to the two exposed heads of the "two birds in one body".
These two heads were completely dazed at this moment, their necks drooping limply after the ice was smashed by the evil spirit, looking as if they were about to snap at any moment.
Zapdos has a long, sharp beak.
Compared to the short-beaked, thin-beaked arthropod, it appears majestic and handsome.
But at this moment, a pink tongue darted out from its beak, dangling, giving Ze Shu the impression of a kitten that had just been spayed/neutered. "Mew!!"
With a look of disgust, Mew stretched out its little hand, just like when it treated Articuno on Twin Islands, wielding "Gravity" to manipulate and sense the objects inside the "Dual-Bird" body.
Instantly.
Two consecutive "poof" sounds were heard!
Zapdos and Moltres suddenly opened their beaks, and a ball of flesh was spewed out with lightning speed, hitting the head of the old master who was healing them—Mew!
Although the dream was prepared.
However, its slightly chubby body was not very agile, and before it could react, it was soaked.
[Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!]
[So disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting]
【Ze Shu, Ze Shu, hurry up....】
She rushed to him for help after her dream was tainted by "evil".
Ze Shu, however, seemed to see a mud-covered husky rushing towards him, oblivious yet excited:
"Don't come any closer..."
【Sob sob, Ze Shu, you're so cruel!】
In the end, we relied on Psyduck.
It sprayed water from the water gun onto Dreamy, successfully cleaning her up.
But even after the dream was cleaned...
She also had a teary-eyed expression that said, "I'm not clean anymore."
Ze Shu ignored it.
Anyway, after a day or two, and after eating a dozen or so bags of snacks, this guy will turn back into a carefree "lazy cat".
He looked at the two birds beside him, whose eyes had become much clearer.
"Mingli..."
The straightforward Zapdos thanked him;
The flamingo seemed to recognize Zeki as well, and lowered its head.
Although they were still encased in ice, their bodies pressed together, Ze Shu could notice that a gap had appeared between their brownish-red and bright yellow bodies, indicating that their bodies had separated without anyone noticing.
However, because of the ice covering the Ze Tree, they are still stuck together.
Ze Shu chuckled.
They then decided to break their frozen state and let them fly high.
After all, the two birds were enraged by the lump of flesh, but they didn't do anything bad, and now that the lump of flesh has been removed;
He simply said to them:
"Be more careful next time, don't get..."
But he hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, Xiao Lan's voice called out from afar.
He turned his head and saw Blue and Redhead coming out of the Team Rocket base. In addition to carrying two boxes, they were also holding an item.
A small blue object, resembling a "handle," glanced at the frozen Twin Holy Birds and called out to Ze Shu from a distance:
"Sawaki, look what this is!"
She raised the handle in her hand,
But before Zeki could answer, she answered her own question: "It's the remote control that Team Rocket executive uses to operate these two birds. This one I'm holding is a spare!"
"I hacked into Team Rocket's internal storage compartments to get my hands on it."
"There's some information I've researched: this controller can operate as long as '∞ energy' is supplied to it, thus establishing a connection with and controlling these two birds."
"Even if that 'Dream Contract' is removed, it can still be controlled."
"Because Team Rocket experimented with their bodies beforehand, this is a characteristic of '∞ energy.' Team Rocket 'adapted' their own energy to the controllers. This is completely unrelated to their 'fusion'!"
"That's why, even though you've already defeated them, Zeki..."
"but."
Little Blue chuckled.
Looking at the two birds from a distance, the situation is self-evident.
Even if the two birds return to their original state, this controller can still control them. And now, this controller has fallen into the hands of Xiao Lan and Ze Shu.
Zapdos and Moltres: !!!
They instantly became alert.
Xiao Lan chuckled, "Actually, even without 'controlling' them, the controller can still connect with these two birds and call them. However, without the 'flesh ball's' help, the calling depends on the birds' own will."
"so....""
"The best way is to keep these two birds under control at all times, like remote-controlled toys, so they won't do anything bad in the future!"
"After all, who can be sure that these two birds are truly cured?"
"They were just trying to help Team Rocket fight us!"
Zapdos and Moltres: (OAO)!!
They looked at each other.
Could it be that they're going to...?
Emerging from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair?!
Don't do this kind of thing!
Do you think they don't know whether they are good or bad?
I'm innocent, Your Honor!
They immediately looked at Zeshu and the Articuno beside him with pleading eyes, hoping that their companion could speak up for them and stop Zeshu from doing this. However, Articuno turned its head away and completely ignored them.
"Mingli..."
"throat.."
Meeting their pleading gazes, and Xiao Lan's sly giggles and hints.
Ze Shu chuckled and said to the two birds:
"Did you hear that..."
"But I believe you are good Pokémon."
"Be good from now on, and don't do anything naughty."
"Otherwise, see this remote control? We'll come all this way to control you! Then you'll become our puppets. You know what a puppet is, right? I can make you do whatever I want, just like meat scraps..."
"Ahem, of course, you'll have to be careful if Team Rocket tries to do something bad to you in the future."
"If that doesn't work, you can ask us for help."
"Got it?"
"Can you guarantee that?"
"If you can guarantee that, I'll let you go."
Moltres and Zapdos nodded repeatedly, moved.
This man not only helped them recover, but also ignored the female demon's orders to use that terrifying gadget called the "handle" to control them. Now he wants to let them go, and even says he'll help them if they encounter any difficulties...
Really, really...
They are such a kind person!
The straightforward Zapdos looked at Zeki with eyes full of emotion:
Even Moltres couldn't help but regret why he had run away from Sawaki back in Crimson Volcano.
Despite being two legendary bird Pokémon, under the threat of this "controller," they looked at Zeki with innocent eyes, like two brown-red and bright yellow chicks just out of their cages.
"Chirp chirp!!"
Ze Shu couldn't help but purse his lips. Little Blue, that PUA...
That's incredibly skillful!
Who taught you?
Just now, as soon as Xiao Lan spoke, coupled with the subtle wink she gave, Ze Shu knew: Xiao Lan was playing the "bad cop" to cooperate with him, letting him play the "good cop" to manipulate these two birds...
After all, how could one controller keep controlling these two legendary bird Pokémon? Even if it were possible, Ze Shu wouldn't have enough "∞ Energy," and Xiao Lan's ideas were simply unrealistic.
But the two birds were terrified.
Ze Shu shook his head, looked helplessly at the unnecessary little blue bird, and sighed at the two birds beside him:
"Well, perhaps at some point I'll need your help. I'll use this controller to summon you. Would you be willing to help then?"
The two birds nodded hurriedly.
After all, Ze Shu had genuinely saved them; they weren't ungrateful birds. If Ze Shu were to summon them through this terrifying thing called the handle, they...
We will absolutely not let this "good person" suffer any harm!
"Alright, alright..." Ze Shu laughed.
"You may leave now, but remember my words."
Meanwhile, Ergui Peng, who was standing to the side, volunteered and shouted "Nyo!"
It picked up a thorny vine.
And so began the "shaved ice" process.
After a few blows, the ice block was almost completely shattered.
Then.
Ze Shu watched silently.
Xiao Lan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Two birds let out joyful cries of freedom, flapped their wings, and soared into the sky. Lightning and flames mingled in the clear sky, creating a dazzling display of fireworks, quite a sight to behold.
Ze Shu laughed, not caring about their escape.
After all, these two birds are indeed kind.
Over the years, Ze Shu had heard about the bad things the three sacred birds had done:
It was only because Zapdos occupied the abandoned power plant that the League was unable to rebuild it.
As Zapdos and Moltres flew away...
The Team Rocket base on Five Islands was also in a mess. The most eye-catching thing was the blizzard that the Sawa Pokémon used together, which covered the area with patches of white frost that lingered for a long time.
Kona's Lapras glide merrily across the frosty meadow, gliding across the famous ice.
Kona gazed in amazement at the surrounding snow, and combined with the blizzard that could even freeze the two legendary birds, the power was truly astounding...
Zeki is indeed a powerful Ice-type trainer!
I'm afraid she...:
"Chenglong seems to really like this environment," Zeshu said.
Kona raised her eyes, smiled at Ze Shu, and said softly, "I'm so glad I met you, Ze Shu. Otherwise, this place would probably be..."
She shook her head with a sigh.
"Unfortunately, that 'man in black' ran away the moment you created this blizzard. Even I couldn't stop him or identify him. This level of strength... he's actually a member of Team Rocket."
Ze Shu shook his head and said, "The harvest here is already quite substantial."
With Lambda, Athena, and Apollo, three core members of Team Rocket, captured, the team will undoubtedly suffer a major blow. In addition, the fall of the entire Team Rocket base means that the team has completely lost control of the Seven Islands.
"Just let someone else clean up the mess."
"The matter is now closed."
"But here..."
Ze Shu looked around and said to Kona, "Don't you think Lapras really likes this place? With your Phoenix strength, you can maintain this frozen environment. Anyway, this is just a corner of the Wilderness."
Kona blinked: "You mean...?"
Ze Shu said, "Mm."
Kona silently hummed in agreement, her eyes filled with determination, and then thanked Ze Shu again.
Ichinoshima.
This is Phoenix Island, the most remote of the seven islands of Kanto.
It is a very small area with underdeveloped infrastructure. Almost all the young people in the area want to leave for big cities. However, the "Treasure Beach" in the southern part of Ichinoshima attracts many gold diggers who want to "hunt for treasure".
But here.
This is also where Xiao Lan's parents are temporarily staying in Feng.
At that time, Zeki asked Professor Oak to advise Blue's parents to stay as far away from the Seven Islands as possible, but there were no more tickets to leave the Seven Islands, so Blue's parents had no choice but to stay there temporarily.
At this moment, Xiao Lan rarely showed any signs of ambition or remorse on her face.
Her footsteps lingered on the surging waves of the sandy beach, leaving behind a jumble of phoenix-shaped footprints.
Back when they were on Crimson Lotus Island, they encountered the Moltres incident. Naturally, Xiao Lan couldn't let Ze Shu face it alone, since Ze Shu still needed her help.
But now, the Rocket Team base here has been destroyed, and Little Blue can no longer delay.
Ze Shu laughed and said, "Immortal, huh?"
Xiao Lan puffed out her fair cheeks and said, "But Ze Shu, you said you don't want to see my parents right now."
Ze Shu shrugged, somewhat helplessly.
Seeing that Xiao Lan was being separated from her parents, was he going to be a third wheel when she reunited with them?
Little Blue Furious Phoenix grunted in annoyance.
But at that moment, she silently followed Ze Shuxian for a few steps and saw that at the entrance of the Ichinoshima Phoenix Hotel, the two middle-aged couples were also standing and pacing. They were dressed very luxuriously, but their expressions were also anxious and worried.
Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment before thinking about it.
But then, a force pushed Zhi Feng from behind, sending her stumbling a few steps forward. This was witnessed by the middle-aged couple who had been observing Zhi Feng's surroundings.
They exchanged a glance, somewhat uncertain. Feng slowly walked towards Xiao Lanxian.
"Who are you.."
"Little Blue."
A weary voice, filled with both expectation and hesitation, came through.
Xiao Lan was pleased, and Zhi Feng, somewhat at a loss, simply hummed in agreement.
She didn't complain that Ze Shuzhifeng had pushed her out.
From a distance, Ze Shu could only see the middle-aged parents. Feng's expression changed from anticipation to surprise, and finally to tears of joy as she embraced Xiao Lan.
He smiled and then slowly left the place.
The six-tailed phoenix in her arms let out a "whoosh".
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Well, Xiao Lan should leave us for a while."
Bi San's parents have been searching for her for so many years, shouldn't she have spent some time with them...?
"Ou Ming..."
The voice of the six-tailed phoenix, filled with disappointment, rang out.
Bi San, Xiao Lan treats it very well.
She would often secretly share snacks with Ze Shu behind his back.
Therefore, Liuwei was very disappointed when Xiaolanfeng left.
The loss of Yili Snack Channel has left Feng disappointed.
If Vulpix doesn't know that Ho-Oh is: Blue will secretly tell Sawaki where Vulpix hides Ho-Oh's snacks, so that Sawaki can find the hidden Ho-Oh snacks and "share" them with the other Ho-Oh Pokémon on the ship.
"All you're thinking about are snacks, huh?" Ze Shu said with a laugh.
"Ooh, oh my!"
As the setting sun cast its golden rays, Ze Shu slowly drifted along the island, lost in thought, unsure of his purpose or where he was going.
All I know is that I've somehow ended up on a beach.
The setting sun casts a shimmering glow on the water's surface.
The scenery is beautiful.
So I simply faced the setting sun and worked hard.
I tossed the six tails onto the sand and let them play by themselves.
Similarly, Phoenix will bring out its Pokémon-like creatures to play here.
Ze Shu held Feng Bingyi, who was nestled in his arms and yawning, watching the sunset and the Pokémon hopping around on the beach. He would occasionally ruffle Bingyi's cool, soft, and adorable head.
Zhi Feng, the citrus scent wafting into her nostrils, "What's wrong?"
Ergui shook his head, then leaned on Zeshu's shoulder and sat there with him.
Ze Shu smiled helplessly, poked the soft, bouncy orange-red face of the phoenix, and then yawned.
"By the way, you want to regain your strength, right?"
"Bonito?!"
Ergui Feng's voice held a hint of surprise.
Bi San had been "starving" in Beishang Township for countless years, and the energy of the Egui Feng had weakened considerably, which sometimes prevented it from helping Ze Shu Feng. This situation made the Egui feel a little disappointed, but it did not show it.
But Ze Shu noticed it?
"It's Feng, I noticed." Ze Shu smiled. "Bi San, you're quite the chewer."
"However, there's one thing I didn't do well enough when it came to you!"
Ze Shuzhi added.
He paused, and as Egui was stunned and surprised by what he said, Zeshu took out a handful of six-tailed phoenix snacks and handed them to Egui.
"If you want to regain your strength as soon as possible, then eat more. Only by eating more can you recover your strength. How can you possibly eat the little bit you usually do!"
"Don't save food for me, okay?"
Ze Shu noticed that Liuwei was able to eat six large bowls of Phoenix Energy Cubes when it was unleashed. However, Egui only ate a small half bowl and then stopped, which Ze Shu found very puzzling.
Perhaps it was Ergui Feng's inferiority complex that was causing the problem.
It didn't want to waste Ze Shu's food, after all, it was a "precious" thing for Feng, who had been starving for a long time.
"Pop, pop...:" The strange and delightful Phoenix.
"and.."
Ze Shu smiled and continued, "You're so cute, how could I abandon you just because you've eaten a lot? Rather, I hope that E Gui won't leave me."
"Bonnie!"
Ergui wiped his eyes and shook his head vigorously.
Ze Shu smiled and said gently:
"I also know how powerful and unique the Urgot is."
"There is still a very powerful phoenix force within you that has not been released. You should have experienced those four masks before; they belong to the Taijing Phoenix energy."
"I will help Evil find a way to release the power within you."
As for releasing this power, one must find the "Tai Jing Zhu".
Should we make a trip to the Parthian region?
Ze Shu blinked.
He was quite interested in that place.
but...
He gently rubbed the phoenix that had snuggled into his arms, and patted it lightly. Ze Shu also slowly took out a meteorite—a piece of rock riddled with dents and craters.
The Phoenix meteorite was extremely damaged.
This is the spherical meteorite from the Rockets' base.
When the sedan chair was damaged, Ze Shu also took the meteorite and put it in his pocket.
He could sense that the meteorite...
Very weak.
It is a phoenix.
Ze Shu could sense the life force within the meteorite; it seemed that if it were to suffer another accident, it would die unconscious.
It wasn't just that Ho-Oh was weakened by having its Pokémon's life energy extracted; it was more like it had already suffered severe damage before its life energy was extracted.
How could that have caused such severe damage...?
Then, considering that this is a "meteorite".
Could it be that the ozone layer depletion phoenix, the "sky dragon," is fighting the phoenix?
So, blocked and damaged by the "Sky Dragon," this meteorite, along with its "partner" Hoenn, fell into the Hoenn region.
Then it was snatched by Team Rocket, and because it was "severely damaged", it was treated as a "discarded pawn" by Team Rocket and thrown to the Seven Islands as food reserves for the "twin legendary bird" Phoenix.
Of course, this is just Ze Shufeng's guess.
But if Ze Shu hadn't tucked the meteorite into his arms like that...
Instead, it continued to be used by Team Rocket as a vessel for creating "∞ Energy," and the life inside that meteorite is probably already dead.
In a way, Ze Shu actually saved it from chewing!
But now its condition is also very bad, it is huddled in the embrace of the meteorite and has not been able to be born.
However, how can we bring it into existence?
I'm afraid I'll have to go to Hoenn.
After thinking for a moment, Ze Shu sighed and put the meteorite into his pocket.
As the sun began to set, its last rays bathed the beach in a golden hue. In the distance, Ze Shu saw a small white figure carrying something sparkly and excitedly running towards him.
It's poisoned. Ze Shu can tell it's a combination of a large pearl and star fragments.
In the Pokémon world, rare and luxurious items are highly sought after by collectors.
"Ooh, oh my!"
Arriving in front of Zeki, Rokuou, with an air of arrogance, displayed the Naminoue Phoenix's possessions to Zeki, its eyes shining, wanting to exchange them for some snacks.
"well..."
Under the delighted gaze of the six-tailed phoenix, Ze Shu agreed.
"But look at you, Phoenix, all filthy! Go take a bath first!"
It was already quite late.
After washing the six tails, Ze Shu returned to the Phoenix Deck of the spaceship and discovered...
Little Blue emerged from the spaceship's interior as if nothing had happened, carrying a broom in one hand and a tangled ball of phoenix wool in the other.
Upon seeing Ze Shu, Feng said with a helpless expression:
"Seriously, Ze Shu, you need to keep an eye on Ri Yang!"
"It's been shedding a lot lately, leaving wool dander everywhere on the spaceship!"
"one-"
Huddled in a corner of the deck, Feng Liyang looked aggrieved.
Ze Shu, however, was taken aback: "Huh?"
Is he...?
Is my memory playing tricks on me?
Didn't Xiao Lan leave with her parents?
Xiao Lan repeated Ze Shufeng's "Mmm" before bursting into a chuckle and exclaiming, "Hehe! Ze Shu, you only got back to the spaceship so late, could it be that you were reluctant to leave...?"
Ze Shuguo hummed in agreement.
Xiao Lan stopped talking.
"Why did you come back?" Ze Shu asked with a smile. "Aren't you going to spend time with your parents? They care about you so much."
Xiao Lan laughed confidently, "It's because my parents care about me that they let me stay here!"
Ze Shu: "..—
He didn't understand the logic behind it.
But Xiao Lan laughed and said, "Hmph, so, my dear Investigator Feng, where are we going next? You, my little assistant Feng, need to be more prepared."
Ze Shu paused, seemingly affected by Xiao Lan's question about not being able to shed Feng's clothes, before saying, "Padia or Hoenn."
After Team Rocket's crushing defeat, Sabrina told Sawaki that Giovanni had ordered Team Rocket to "lie low" and would not be active for a period of time. Furthermore, their internal plans were kept secret and only Giovanni and those involved in the plans knew about them.
Naz didn't know much about the situation either.
Therefore, the situation in Guandu is temporarily calm.
Xiao Lan laughed and said, "Alright! Let's get started..."
Before she could finish speaking, a panicked cry came from a corner of the spaceship. They turned to look and saw Yang Liyang, who was huddled on the spaceship's deck, radiating white light.
It is the light of evolution, the white light of the phoenix.
Soon after.
The fluffy sheep appeared before Ze Shu and Little Blue Phoenix. It stared incredulously at its new phoenix body and cried out in surprise several times. Ze Shu said, "You've become ugly."
Xiao Lan chuckled and said, "It's just the awkward phase!"
