Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 177: The Lightning Bird is captured! Is this the Lightning Pig?

Greet each other?
A big question mark appeared on Liliae's tilted forehead. Are you sure it's just a greeting?

Why did she feel that it was totally different? The hairs on the Zapdos stood up like a hedgehog, and it couldn't stop chirping.

It feels... more like swearing in the street?

Even though Xiao Lan was feeling extremely uncomfortable due to her bird phobia, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard that. She squinted at the Articuno and Zapdos who were spraying each other. Didn't they seem that scary?
Even the legendary divine bird is like this?

"Okay Articuno, don't get angry with it."

Gu Xin interrupted the two birds' sweet talk, then looked at Zapdos with a gentle smile.

"Zapdos, will you be my Pokémon now?"

"Chirp!"

The Zapdos raised its head proudly, indicating that it would never submit to a human, especially when this human had the bird with the Bob-haired head.

"Good, very energetic." Gu Xin nodded with satisfaction.

"Articuno, let the freezing ray send you, a distant relative, on your way."

Gu Xin called out to Articuno. Since Zapdos didn't know what was best for him, he would knock it out first and then capture it.

Articuno cried, and the ice-blue energy in front of its mouth condensed into a sphere.

"Chirp? Chirp chirp!"

The lightning bird was startled and spoke out quickly.

"Aren't you willing to die rather than surrender?" Gu Xin said with a half-smile.

"Chirp..."

Zapdos was a little hesitant. It really didn't want to be tamed by humans, but it also didn't want to be beaten to its knees and unconscious by Articuno's bob-haired guy!

This is really too embarrassing for the bird, especially since it just had a quarrel with Articuno. No, no, it can't afford to lose face like this!
"Then come on and score a goal. As long as you become my Pokémon, I can make you as strong as Articuno is now."

"Chu??"

The eyes of the Zapdos suddenly lit up, a sparkling brightness.

Articuno rolled his eyes in a humane way. This stupid bird is really gullible. It must have had atrophied brain.

"Of course you can. When I first captured Articuno, it was probably not as strong as you. But what about now?"

Gu Xin's smile was very warm and his tone was extremely sincere.

"What's the point of you absorbing electricity here? You won't be able to surpass my Articuno even if you absorb it for a year. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Chirp!!"

Zapdos immediately made a decision. It wanted to become stronger. It wanted to beat the Bob-headed guy until he fell to his knees and called him "Bird Master"! !

What the human said was right. Although it could absorb the electricity here to replenish the electricity in its body, it was too slim to achieve this goal by absorbing electricity in this way.

Besides...if it doesn't agree to this human, it will be beaten by this Bob-haired guy. This is not okay.

"He who knows the times is a handsome bird, Zapdos, you have a bright future."

Gu Xin nodded with satisfaction. This Zapdos was very sensible and real. He liked it.

"Precious ball, go."

Guxin threw the precious crimson ball to the Zapdos, which folded its wings and raised its head proudly, looking very handsome.

The precious ball touched the Zapdos, and the Zapdos turned into red light and was absorbed into the precious ball.

Drop~drop~drop~
The precious ball shook three times and finally stopped.

"Zapdos, captured."

Gu Xin picked up the valuable ball with a satisfied expression, feeling more relaxed than he had imagined. If Zapdos had resisted, he would probably have to waste dozens of high-quality balls today just like he did with Reggie Rock.

But it would be much easier if Zapdos was willing to be captured.

"Articuno, good job."

And the main contributor is, of course, Articuno.

"yiao~" Articuno was quite pleased, and then discussed it with Gu Xin.

"Okay, then I'll let you supervise the special training of Zapdos from now on. Don't be too aggressive, we are all companions now."

Gu Xin nodded, but still gave a reminder that although he knew that Articuno would definitely give Zapdos a hard time, appropriate competition within the team was also feasible.

This can also give Zapdos more motivation to improve.

"yiao~" Articuno promised that it would never happen.

Xiaolan: (.)
Lilia: (-)
After watching the whole process, Xiao Lan suddenly lowered her head and thought deeply. It seemed that her bird phobia was completely unnecessary. Why should she be afraid of birds?

Is this the legendary divine bird?

"Not bad, he looks pretty strong."

After taking back Articuno and releasing Zapdos, Gu Xin took out the advanced medicine spray and sprayed it on Zapdos.

Lightning Bird raised his head and chest and shouted proudly, "That's a must! Bird Master, I'm strong!"

"By the way, Guxin, can't your Viridian Power be used for healing? Why do you still like to use medicine so much?"

Xiaolan leaned against Lilia. Although his fear of birds was not as strong after adapting, his body was still a little weak and he needed to relax.

"The power of Changpan consumes my mental energy. If I use it too much, I'll feel dizzy. The medicine consumes useless amounts of energy."

Gu Xin didn't even turn his head. For him, the Power of Evergreen was now a special ability to communicate with Pokémon and enhance relationships.

As for the healing ability… well, Gu Xin almost forgot about this function.

What you said really makes sense.

Xiao Lan's eyelids twitched, but she was unable to refute. The young master is rich.

"Team Rocket obviously came to the power plant to capture the Zapdos. Now that we've snatched it away in advance, what should we do next?"

After a while, Xiaolan was finally able to stand normally, but he still didn't dare to get close to Zapdos.

"I have a good idea." Gu Xin raised the corners of his lips slightly and looked at the Zapdos. He had another good idea.

It’s a pity that the Galar Zapdos was not captured, otherwise it would have given Ma Zhishi and the others a little mental shock.

"?"

Zapdos tilted its head in confusion and looked at its trainer.

……

At the entrance of the unmanned power station, there was a 10-man elite team of the Rocket Team, and at the front was the slightly disguised Ma Zhishi.

"What a shabby power plant! Is the Zapdos really here?"

Lihua placed her slender palm over her eyebrows as if looking into the distance, and her slightly magnetic voice sounded very lazy.

Yishu observed his surroundings silently without saying anything.

"Based on the intelligence, it can't be wrong. Let's see how you perform after we go in."

Ma Zhishi shrugged, and then looked at Lihua and Yishu with interest.

"Since the boss recommended you to come here, you must be very capable, right?"

Ma Zhishi was not familiar with Rika and Kazuki, the two cadres transferred from Johto, but according to Sakaki, Rika and Kazuki were very capable.

Originally, he was responsible for capturing the Zapdos, but Sakaki temporarily assigned Rika and Kazuki to him and asked him to observe and determine their abilities.

"Ah~ The first thing we did when we came to Kanto was to catch a lightning bird, a high-level mission. I don't know if I can do it."

Lihua held her fair cheek with her right hand, but the malicious curve at the corner of her mouth did not change at all, and her tone was lazy and freehand.

He said he didn't know if it would work, but he acted like he wasn't under any pressure at all.

Ma Zhishi glanced at Lihua. This woman's personality was definitely extremely bad, probably similar to Lance in the past.

Speaking of Lance...

There was a slight change in Ma Zhishi's eyes. Lance's original personality was also very bad, but for some reason, when he met Lance in a base before, Ma Zhishi always felt that Lance seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

Ma Zhishi didn't know how to describe it, but he just had this feeling, this guy seemed to be more casual about everything, even his personal hobby of "tease" his subordinates was gone, which is commonly known as "showing off".

And Apollo, Apollo has also undergone subtle changes. Although he is still very reliable and his abilities are trustworthy, it seems that he often stares blankly when he is alone, and no one knows what he is thinking.

How strange?

"The boss thinks highly of you two. I heard that Chakra in Johto thinks highly of you as well."

Ma Zhishi led his men into the unmanned power station and asked Lihua Yishu curiously.

"That short Chakra guy... Chakra-senpai, he's a very interesting person."

The malicious curve at the corner of Lihua's mouth deepened, as if she had thought of something, and she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Did you just say shorty?

Ma Zhishi looked at Lihua with some surprise. As for the chakra of the three beast warriors, a senior cadre, in fact, for senior cadres of Team Rocket, few people would have a good impression of chakra.

After all, the dwarf was really crazy, cruel, eccentric and arrogant, and he carried more than a dozen "bombs" with him.

Mashishi hated Chakra extremely, but Rika and Kazuki were Chakra's 'subordinates' before.

"Hahaha~ Don't worry. I also dislike that stinky dwarf Chakra. But you two are not high-ranking officials yet, so it's better not to offend him openly. That guy is petty and will definitely take revenge."

Ma Zhishi laughed. He was a generous person. Although he was a senior executive of Team Rocket, he would not have joined Team Rocket if it weren't for Sakaki.

"Ah~ Thank you, senior." Lihua replied politely with a smile.

Team Rocket went deeper into the power plant and could already vaguely see flickering golden light.

"It's right in front. After all, it's the legendary Zapdos. You should be careful. Tell me if you need support."

Ma Zhishi warned Lihua and Yishu.

Lihua raised her eyebrows. Her impression of Ma Zhishi had really changed a lot. She didn't expect that Ma Zhishi was such a nice person.

Yishu continued to remain silent and act as a nobody.

"Leave it to us, Senior. It's just a Zapdos. We can still handle it."

Lihua smiled, although her smile always made people feel a little uneasy and malicious.

It's just a wild Zapdos, is it that difficult?

Rika was disdainful in her heart. She was a champion-level trainer and she believed that her strength was not weak among the champion-level trainers.

For a mere Zapdos, I'm afraid Yishu can take it down without him having to do anything.

Several people walked around the corner and came to the spacious generator room, and the golden body appeared in front of everyone.

but……

A golden bird dozed off standing there, its body covered with golden feathers like needles. It looked like a Zapdos, but the key was...

How come you are so fat?
Its body is as round as a ball, especially its belly. Compared with its fat body, its head and neck are simply miniature.

Is this thing a bird? If we hadn't seen its wings, no one would have doubted that it was a pig, right?

Ma Zhishi and the other two were stunned!
"This...is this a lightning pig?"

After a long time, one of the Rocket Team members suddenly spoke up and asked, "Can this thing's wings really allow it to fly?"
"Mmm???"

As if hearing what Team Rocket said, Zapdos glared at the man with great displeasure.

Who are you calling a pig? Who are you calling a pig? ? ! ! Do you have any manners? She is clearly a cute and magical cat! !
The atmosphere became increasingly silent.

'Hmm? ? '

Is this what the lightning bird calls?
Ma Zhishi silently took out the illustrated guide and aimed it at the 'Lightning Pig'. He seriously suspected that his subordinates, a bunch of idiots, had made a mistake. Was this really the Zapdos?
He needed to make sure so as not to make a mistake later.

'Ding~Zapdos, Electric, Flying, Electric Pokémon

Feature: Sync
Special move: ...

Introduction: When the sky is dark...'

Ma Zhishi fell silent again. This really seemed to be the Zapdos. The illustrated guide should not lie.

But the picture of the Zapdos in the illustration book and the one in front of him... don't look like the same species at all.

"Senior, is this Zapdos really useful to the organization? Or is it just for blood drawing for research?"

Lihua looked at the Zapdos that probably had difficulty walking, thought for a while, and spoke to Ma Zhishi in a tactful way.

"Forget it, it should be... it's eating too well outside. After all, it's the boss's mission, so just catch it."

Ma Zhishi was a little tired. He was a trainer specializing in electricity, so after the "Divine Bird Project" was launched, he took the initiative to apply to capture the Zapdos.

Originally he was looking forward to seeing the legendary lightning bird, but now he has seen it with his own eyes.

Well, it’s better not to meet.
