Pokémon: Start with a Mewtwo Invitation.

Chapter 95 The "Moflame Bird" of the Galar Region

the next day.

Xia Mu got up early and went to the yard to take care of her Pokémon.

My parents got up very early too. They had some important things to take care of, so they just prepared some breakfast and then said goodbye to Xia Mu after eating.

As the number of Pokémon increases, the time required to care for them also increases proportionally.

Xia Mu always adhered to a principle: once something is subdued, it must be treated well, rather than discarding it without any regard for its usefulness.

When I used to play games, I would catch all types of Pokémon and store them in my computer case in order to complete my Pokédex. Since they didn't need special care, I only used about a dozen or so of them.

In short, the real world is nothing like the game.

Playing games is one mindset, while watching anime is another.

Especially when watching the anime, Ash always leaves all the Pokémon he catches at Professor Oak's lab, and he has to start all over again in every region, which makes Natsume think he's a bit idiotic.

Of course, it's necessary for the plot.

I wonder what Ash would be like in the real world? I'm sure he wouldn't be like Ash.

At least he takes every Pokémon he catches seriously. Although he doesn't always carry them with him, he rotates them frequently to bring out their unique characteristics.

I fed the Pokémon one after another, and the most important thing was to feed them Energy Cubes.

After getting used to it, feeding becomes a pleasure and can further deepen the bond between you and your Pokémon.

Time flew by and it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.

Meixing and Muzi came to take care of the Pokémon. The difference was that because Xia Mu had agreed to let the research institute set up a temporary site here, they brought a lot of equipment with them this time.

Xia Mu only allowed them to bring the equipment in after confirming its functionality.

After all, not everything can be left at home. Even if he agreed to the establishment of a temporary site, it doesn't mean that this place has become the territory of the research institute.

At the very least, he has to ensure that he and his Pokémon have enough privacy. If it's a surveillance device, then sorry, absolutely not.

Before long, Dr. Mulan and Sonia also arrived.

The reason for his urgency is undoubtedly because Natsuki captured Moltres, a legendary bird from the Kanto region.

One surprise after another, one unexpected event after another, this time even involving legendary Pokémon—if even this can't make Mulan and Sonia care, then nothing can move them.

"This is the Fire Bird of the Kanto region. I've seen it in photos, but seeing it in person is truly breathtaking," Sonia said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

Her gaze swept up and down the flamingo, making it want to flee.

The ordeal of last night was still fresh in the Moltres's memory, and now several humans have come to examine it as an object.

It knows it is a divine bird, admired and respected by humans, but being stared at like this makes it very uncomfortable.

"The fire god of the Kanto region is indeed fundamentally different from the Moltres that only appears once every few decades in our Galar region. Having lived most of my life, I have personally witnessed the Moltres, which is known as the representative of sacred fire," Dr. Mulan began to murmur.

Her words naturally carried great weight.

Sonia and Xia Mu both knew about the Moltres of the Galar region, so they simply looked at Professor Mulan and waited for her to continue.

However, Miko and Muko are researchers from the Kanto region. They are not familiar with the Galar region and do not know anything about Moltres in the Galar region.

"Could there be differences between different Moltres?" Mei-Xing asked.

Mulan nodded, looked at Meixing and Muzi, the two promising young researchers, and explained, "You two are researchers studying changes in Pokémon habits, so you should know that some special Pokémon can undergo special changes due to different habitats, such as different colors, size differences, mutations, etc..."

"The Moltres of the Galar region and the Moltres of the Kanto region are both Moltres, but they are actually two different extremes."

"The Moltres of Kanto is the divine bird in your legend, the god of fire in mythology, a sacred symbol... But the Moltres of the Galar region is known as an evil Pokémon, its flames exude an evil aura, and it is said that it can even burn the soul."

"In terms of type, the Moltres in Kanto is a Fire/Flying type Pokémon, while the Moltres in the Galar region is a Dark/Flying type."

After speaking, Mulan pushed up her glasses and gave a command to the Rotom Dex floating in the air beside her.

"Rotom Pokédex, bring up the Moltres information for the Galar region, let's take a look."

"Okay, Loto."

Rotom appeared before the crowd, and the large screen quickly lit up, displaying the image of the Moltres from the Galar region.

They are not exactly the same, but they are completely unrelated.

"Caw—Awooo!!" (This is supposed to be called a Flamebird alongside me, the divine bird? Are you kidding me?! Are you blind?)

Moltres was clearly provoked; it simply couldn't accept the appearance that overturned its understanding of the world.

Xia Mu heard its complaints and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If he weren't a time traveler, he wouldn't believe it either; the game is designed with different forms.

"Don't get excited. It seems you don't know about the Moltres form in the Galar region," Natsuki said.

These words immediately drew everyone's attention.

Natsuki can talk to Pokémon.

Sonia actually knew, but Mulan, Meixing, and Muzi did not.

"It seems that we need to conduct a more in-depth investigation in the future. After all, the reason why the 'Mobara' in the Galar region is called Mobara is because the natives of the Crown Tundra call it the legendary Pokémon 'Mobara'. Besides Mobara, there are also corresponding Zapdos and Articuno..." Mulan said.

Even if this Moltres denies the existence of the "Morpho" in the Galar region, the "Morpho" in the Galar region is still the "Morpho".

This world is incredibly wondrous; not only humans, but even Pokémon cannot fully comprehend it.

Some facts are undeniable, even if we are unwilling to admit them.

"Speaking of which, Xia Mu, you should thank me. If I hadn't told you about the earthquake and volcanic eruption last night, you definitely wouldn't have had a chance to catch the Moltres." Sonia looked at Xia Mu with a smile in her eyes, her intentions ulterior.

Xia Mu felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and seeing Dr. Mulan's teasing look, he immediately asked, "Tell me, how should I thank you?"

"Actually, there's no need to thank me. Just lend me the Firebird so I can study it properly." Sonia's request left Xia Mu with no choice but to agree.
