Chapter 146 "You've already captured Articuno???"
Crimson (with a cold expression): We're here to help you!
"The cannon barrel is practically freezing the bird's face, and you're telling me you're here to help it? Hahaha, that's incredibly convincing!"
Articuno: Go on, I'm listening.
"Look at Articuno, they were so moved they crashed!"
"I dare not move, I really dare not move! (in a physical sense)"
The live stream chat was filled with a cheerful atmosphere of吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or humorous comments).
Crimson seemed to belatedly realize that his sincere remarks, coupled with the chilling weapon he was pointing at the opponent, did indeed appear...
Something felt a tiny bit off.
He quickly manipulated Little Red to release the freeze energy suppressor.
"I'm telling the truth!"
His crimson tone carried a barely perceptible hint of urgency.
"Those Team Rocket members outside in the same uniforms are here specifically to capture you! This weapon I'm holding was specially made for you!"
Articuno's gaze first swept over the dangerous weapon, then slowly moved to Red's obviously higher-class Team Rocket elite uniform, which was similar to that of the group outside.
It fell silent.
A silence filled with extreme distrust and a sense of "Do I look like an idiot to you?"
Crimson, of course, realized the problem and quickly explained:
"Misunderstanding! This is a huge misunderstanding! My partners and I are undercover agents who have infiltrated their ranks! Our true purpose is to stop their conspiracy and help you!"
Articuno stood up from the cold cave floor, looking down at Red with an extremely human-like disdain in its icy blue eyes.
That look seemed to say something.
Keep making things up.
Do you think I believe it or not?
Chi Hong immediately became so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.
He was not good at situations that required a high level of rhetoric and persuasive skills, and faced with Articuno's irrefutable evidence of suspicion, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Oh, right! Look at this!"
The Crimson Action abruptly stopped as a flash of inspiration struck him.
He immediately manipulated Red to take out the Zapdos feather that was occasionally crackling with tiny arcs of electricity from his backpack.
He excitedly displayed it, as if clutching a lifeline:
"Look! This is the proof Zapdos gave us! While it doesn't directly prove we're good people, it at least shows we're different from the other Team Rocket members! We really didn't lie to you!"
Articuno's gaze fell on the feathers floating in Red's palm, and it was clearly taken aback for a moment.
It carefully sensed the unique scent on the feathers, and the expression on its face gradually became somewhat strange.
After a moment of silence.
As if accepting his fate, or as if he had gone through a complicated weighing of pros and cons, he finally nodded somewhat helplessly.
Red breathed a long sigh of relief when Articuno finally believed it.
Why does this feel even more tiring than battling Zapdos? He quickly pressed his advantage and revealed his plan.
"Time is of the essence, we can't stay here for too long. My idea is to pretend the mission failed and then follow them back to the base they established nearby."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Then, completely wipe out their base! That will eliminate your worries at the root! What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Articuno tilted its head and thought for a moment.
It's not afraid of any small fry outside. If it didn't have that annoying suppressor, it would just be easy prey for anyone who came.
What it's really worried about is that after driving away one group, another group will come, and next time they might bring more and more advanced specialized weapons, which would mean there would be no peace.
Completely destroy the nearby base?
It sounds like a solution that solves everything once and for all.
It moved its wings, which had regained some strength, as if to indicate its agreement.
Red was overjoyed and quickly manipulated Little Red to take out an empty high-level ball.
Before he could even press the button, Articuno extended its wings and gracefully and swiftly tapped the center button on the Poké Ball.
brush!
It instantly transformed into a beam of red light and disappeared into it.
The Poké Ball didn't even make a symbolic sway; it quietly fell back into Red's hand.
The live stream chat was instantly flooded with question marks and lamentations.
"You've already caught Articuno???"
"Why?! Just because he's handsome?! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!"
"Zero points on the reading comprehension! Red said cooperation! Helping to take down the enemy's hideout! Not becoming partners! Articuno is a strategic, temporary addition to the team! I don't care! Just tell me, in whose Poké Ball is Articuno right now? (Lemon.jpg)"
"It turns out that the process of clearing the game is very important. If you don't defeat Zapdos to get the token first, you don't even have the right to negotiate with Articuno."
Red and Ash weren't too bothered by this, because they knew very well that it wasn't a true bond that would make them travel together.
It was just a temporary collaboration targeting the Rockets.
Red summoned Articuno again and said to it:
"Next, I need to ask you to break through the mountain and create a scene that shows you escaped on your own."
Only after Articuno nodded to indicate that he understood did he clearly give the command.
"Articuno, use Ice Beam on that mountain wall to create a passage! Then, use your Stand to send your Stand flying out!"
+
Articuno raised its head and cried out, as a surge of powerful ice energy gathered once more.
A cold beam of light shot out and hit the target rock wall precisely.
There was no deafening explosion, only the crackling sound of extreme cold corroding the air.
The beam of ice, like a hot knife cutting through wax, silently melted a large, regular hole in the thick mountain wall, its edges covered with hard, cold ice.
Immediately afterwards, Articuno flashed with light, and a clone identical to its original form split off.
The Stand let out a loud, angry cry, flapped its wings, and flew out of the gaping hole, disappearing into the clouds in an instant.
All of this was clearly seen by the Team Rocket fodder watching nervously outside the cave!
"Mission accomplished!"
Crimson carefully put the Lightning Feather and Energy Suppressor back into her backpack and summoned the Fire Dragon again.
"Charizard, use your Flamethrower to clear away these rocks blocking the way."
Soon, the passage was reopened, and Red and Ash, controlling their characters, returned to the main force.
The Team Rocket members erupted in cheers, their eyes filled with admiration and gratitude as they looked at Red and Ash, showering them with praise.
"Rockets scumbag A: They're out! The big shots are out! They're alright!"
"Team Rocket Minion B: When I saw Articuno break through the mountain and escape, I thought the two adults had met with misfortune - now it seems..."
Articuno was defeated by the powerful monsters and fled in panic!
"Rockets's Noob C: I knew it! With two elite players around, there was no need to panic! Who pulled me running so fast just now? I couldn't stop them!"
