He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Does it even know fairy-type moves?!"

Mary was secretly alarmed. Was this legal?!

The restrained attack froze Galarian Moltres in mid-air, its face contorted in pain.

Ash glanced around and realized that even though they had only exchanged a few blows, they had already caused a lot of damage in the town.

He immediately raised his finger and gave the order:
"Let's finish this battle in one go! Pikachu, use Volt Attack!!"

Pikachu understood, and immediately spun around in the air, its body instantly covered in violent lightning, forming an exaggerated lightning coat.

Zizzi——!
With a crackling sound, it fell like a lightning meteorite, then crashed into Galarian Moltres.

The terrifying impact instantly propelled the massive Galarian Moltres into a nearby building, causing the outer wall to collapse and the creature to fall inside.

Boom boom——!
A few seconds later, the entire building collapsed, countless rubble crumbled, and dust billowed up.

Xiao Zhi scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "Speaking of which, that building doesn't look like anyone lives there, does it?"
Mary: "."

Your electric mouse seems a bit too powerful!
The surrounding members of the cheering team looked ashen-faced, and when they looked at Ash again, they were filled with fear.

Even legendary Pokémon can be suppressed so easily?

Not to mention Omega, even Nie Zi is no match for him!
"I feel like... he might even be able to beat Champion Dan?"

"It seems like there's no problem with such a powerful trainer being with Miss Marie?"

"No, no, I object!"

Ignoring the chatter behind them, Ash and his companion rushed towards the collapsed building, their priority being to resolve the Galar Moltres situation.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, its form became visible.

"Ugh."

At this moment, Galarian Moltres had already fallen into the pile of rubble, its head drooping, its eyes darting around, looking extremely miserable and wretched.

"Pica~!"

Although Pikachu was covered in dust, it stood on Moltres and seemed to have won easily.

The legendary Pokémon of the Galar region really need a good lesson!

Upon seeing Ash and Pikachu, Pikachu jumped back onto Ash's shoulder.

"Messi!"

Doromecia's eyes were filled with adoration as she looked at Pikachu!

"solved."

Ash let out a slight sigh of relief, as for the Moltres that was unable to fight.
He pulled out a high-end ball.

It wasn't a subjugation, but rather the release of Magiana:
"Use flower therapy!"

The latter understood, and its hand transformed into a hand cannon, firing a pink energy bullet that exploded into countless pink petals after hitting Galarian Moltres.

The latter's body also began to glow faintly green, and its stamina continued to recover.

He had seen Galarian Moltres in the Kalos region; it wasn't a legendary Pokémon as difficult to communicate with as Groudon.

Soon, the Galarian Moltres slowly awoke and looked at the two humans in front of it.

Especially the electric mouse on one of the human's shoulders—

"Ugh!"

Galarian Moltres instantly regained full consciousness!
Xiao Zhi stepped forward and pointed to himself:

"So, Moltres, do you still remember me?"

Galarian Moltres blinked and looked at Ash, gradually remembering that more than a year ago, it had given Ash one of its feathers.

It nodded obediently, showing none of its previous arrogant and evil demeanor.

Especially on Ash's shoulder, Pikachu was clenching its little hands, revealing a threatening and cold smile.

Galarian Moltres instantly became as docile as a Pidgey. This Electric Mouse seems more like a Dark-type than a Moltres!

It would be best if we could communicate normally, so Xiao Zhi immediately started asking questions, including why he was here, and especially about controlling Nie Zi's mind.

At this point, Mary's gaze sharpened.

"Ugh!"

Galarian Moltres stood up again and flapped its wings somewhat embarrassedly.

After some initial communication, it seems everything was unexpected!

The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple!
Birds migrate, and so do legendary Pokémon.

The three Galar birds that live on the Isle of Armor have their own fixed migration routes every year. For example, the Carlos region is one of the stops on their migration route.

However, their situation has not been good in the past year.

"Ugh, ugh!"

Galarian Moltres quickly explained that ever since that powerful humanoid Pokémon joined the Isle of Armor last year to train and practice, the three legendary Galarian birds on the island have naturally become the best punching bags for the opponent.

Having endured relentless beatings every day, the enraged Galar birds decided to join forces and plan their escape.

Xiaozhi: "."

In a fit of anger, he then became angry for a moment.

Is it because of Mewtwo?

Xiao Zhi, however, realized what was happening.

The "humanoid Pokémon" that Moltres mentioned is probably Mewtwo, who was training in martial arts on the Isle of Armor and trying to master its Mega X Fighting power.

"Ugh."

Galarian Moltres sighed, and was thus forced to leave the Isle of Armor before its migration, seeking a new home on the neighboring Galar continent.

Spiketown, where the Dark-type Gym is located, is naturally its first choice due to its proximity.

There are plenty of abandoned rooftops here; just find a spot to lie down and you have the perfect nest.

But if it stays here for too long, it will also get "thirsty"—

It's not about appetite or desire for stars, but about needing to consume the emotion of "anger".

Previously on the Isle of Armor, it could provoke the Galar Zapdos, putting it into an angry and agitated state, thus allowing it to enjoy its meal.

The latter also needs the "rage" of the Moltres to stimulate it to run even more frantically, thereby releasing its excess energy.

The two were helping each other out.

Having left the Isle of Armor earlier this year, Galarian Moltres will have to find new "feeding" targets.

Thus, Nie Zi, who was already under immense pressure and gradually becoming irritable due to the prolonged delay in forming a band, was targeted by it.

—Until this moment, I met Ash and Pikachu.

"I see."

Ash scratched his head, glanced at Mary, and looked embarrassed.

If I had to put it in perspective, it seems to be related to me. If I hadn't brought Mewtwo to the Isle of Armor, it seems like none of this would have happened?
Galarian Moltres was quite polite, bowing to Marie in apology.

This left Mary, who had originally wanted to lash out and avenge her brother, feeling like she was hitting a cotton ball.

"Uh, never mind. Pikachu already fought it."

In the end, she sighed.

Ultimately, it was because she didn't notice her brother's emotions.

It's too heavy a burden for her to shoulder the task of reviving Spiketown alone. She needs to do her best to help share the load in the future. (End of Chapter)
