Chapter 119: On a thunderstorm night, a challenger to nature (4K)

Although they had witnessed their companion's ruthless escape with their own eyes, when Luo Mu put the final nail in the coffin of the matter, the two budding deer could not suppress their disappointment.

Luo Mu looked at the two budding deer quietly, waiting for their choice.

They need to make the choice themselves, whether they choose to find companions or follow him, Luo Mu can accept it.

After all, he chose to help the two budding deer because of their courage to stand up and protect their companions. It was just a spur of the moment act.

They didn't let Luo Mu wait too long. The two sprout deer looked at each other, stepped forward tacitly and stood beside Luo Mu.

They decided to believe it again.

The round trip did not take much time. When the sky was just getting light, Luo Mu returned to the island in the lake where the Haxorus were, holding two used Poké Balls in his hands, with the Flower Healing Ring on his head and riding on Dragonite.

At this time, the Haxorus were looking up at the sky thoughtfully. The Messenger Bird followed suit and sat down on the ground, looking at the sky that had accumulated clouds. It seemed that the day would be just as cloudy as this one.
The landing of Dragonite immediately attracted the attention of the other four Pokémon. The three Dragonites, led by the Different-Colored Dragonite, surrounded it and asked with concern what happened to Dragonite.

Dragonite was surrounded by Haxorus and the others, so the Messenger Bird stood up and walked towards Luo Mu, looking up and calling out anxiously a few times.

Luo Mu knew that the messenger bird was unsure, although he used the psychotherapy books Miss Joy lent him and the aromatherapy of the flower therapy ring to mitigate the impact of the psychological shadow on the messenger bird to the greatest extent.

But the so-called psychological shadow is not so easy to eliminate. It has been rooted deep in the heart of the messenger bird. Once it encounters something that triggers the psychological shadow, the psychological shadow hidden deep in the heart will burst out in one breath and bring pain.

Luo Mu thought about it, squatted down and put the new wreath that Flower Therapy Huanhuan had just made in the flower field on the head of the messenger bird, and said with a smile: "Remember this, your fear of the sky and thunder is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Yes?"

The messenger bird tilted its head in confusion, why is fear not necessarily a bad thing?

For it, just enduring the pain and horror of recalling that night's experiences had exhausted all its courage.

"Try to face it tonight. Perhaps the things that make you suffer will become the fuel that helps you become stronger in the end." Luo Mu gently stroked the messenger bird's head, his voice sounding slightly bewitching.

If you want to carry out tonight's plan smoothly, you must plant the seeds of self-confidence in the messenger bird's heart in advance, so as to encourage it to make a choice.

In the following time, Luo Mu released the two Bud Deer from the Poké Ball, personally gave them a simple physical examination, and then let the Flower Therapy Ring treat them thoroughly.

Many bite wounds left by the Werewolf were slowly healed under the flower healing techniques of the Flower Healing Huanhuan. During this period, Luo Mu learned some information about the two Bud Deer through communication with them.

The two budding deer are a male and female pair. They can be considered as "childhood sweethearts" who grew up together in the budding deer tribe, which is very consistent with the elements of a love game.

Because of some subtle differences, even Luo Mu, who cannot identify Pokémon by smell, can easily distinguish the two Budding Deer.

Sprout Deer are the evolved form of Four Seasons Deer, and their most widespread distribution area is in the Unova region.

The Pokémon Stag has a very rare feature. Its appearance will change according to the seasons, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The budding deer that Luo Mu met now were in spring. Their appearance was not much different from ordinary deer. They had dark brown fur, and the two horns on their heads were like branches with pink flowers growing on them, which looked very beautiful.

In Luo Mu's eyes, the biggest difference between the two sprout deer lies in the flowers on their horns.

All budding deer, male or female, have branch-like horns. According to Luo Mu's observation, the flowers on the male budding deer's horns are very bright and beautiful, almost turning pink.

The flowers on the female budding deer's antlers are very light in color, almost approaching light pink, which is in stark contrast to the male budding deer's highly recognizable bright flowers.

Unlike other flowers, the flowers on the antlers of the Bud Deer give off a faint and fresh fragrance, which is very peculiar. This makes Flower Therapy Huanhuan very interested in the flowers on the heads of the Bud Deer. She decides to exchange some flowers with the Bud Deer to make wreaths when she returns to the farm and has the chance.

But what Hualiao Huanhuan didn't know was that if it asked for some flowers from the budding deer's antlers, the two budding deer, who remembered Hualiao Huanhuan's kindness in healing it, would nod in agreement without hesitation.

The whole day was spent waiting.

Luo Mu would occasionally ride Dragonite to explore the lake islands or land near Daguo Lake, to see if he could encounter Pokémon that he was interested in and was suitable for the farm.

For example, there are Pokémon like Mount Goat, Tropical Dragon, and Saltstone.

Unfortunately, his luck seemed to have run out after he met Bufalo and the others. In addition, wild Pokémon were extremely mobile and the weather was not very sunny, so he didn't encounter any of his targets.

It was probably around four or five in the afternoon. The sky was completely covered with dark clouds. A howling wind was whistling past, causing the vegetation on the small islands in the lake to rustle against each other.

Luo Mu fixed the tent well on the island in the lake. Although it was not very wide, Hacklon and the others said that even the typhoon and heavy rain some time ago did not flood the island. Apart from worrying about possible waves and strong winds, it was relatively safe.

Luo Mu has already put the Budding Deer and the others back into the Poké Ball. There is no shelter from the wind and rain on the island in the lake, and the tent would be too crowded for them to fit in. It would be more comfortable than the Poké Ball.

Holding the umbrella in his hand, Luo Mu looked up at the sky. Even if Dragonite and Hackon did not remind Luo Mu that a lot of water energy had gathered in the sky, Luo Mu could still see it from the color of the sky.

Heavy rain is coming.

Sure enough, not long after the water Pokémon under the Cauldron Lake began to surface frequently, raindrops began to fall from the sky, but within a few breaths it turned into a downpour.

The sound of raindrops falling on the lake was extremely dense. This kind of weather was very suitable for lying in bed and resting, but Luo Mu was a little excited at this time, because not only was there rain, but there was also a rumbling drum sound and thunder in the sky!

Luo Mu was shocked, holding up his umbrella and looking up at the sky, waiting for the right moment. The messenger bird leaned against Luo Mu's feet, trying its best to endure the fear in its heart, its heartbeat was like a drum, almost in sync with the sound in the thundercloud.

The flower therapy ring grabbed Luo Mu's hair to prevent herself from being blown away by the strong wind. Although she wanted to use the fragrance of flowers to soothe the messenger bird's emotions, the double effect of the strong wind and the washing rain made it impossible for the fragrance of flowers to be maintained and it dissipated in an instant.

Although thunder continued to roar in the clouds, lightning never struck.

Luo Mu frowned. If it was just a thunderstorm of this magnitude, he might not be able to achieve his goal perfectly.

After thinking for a while, Luo Mu's gaze stopped at the three "dragon balls" on the bodies of Haxorus and others, and an idea suddenly emerged.

As a former trainer of Haxorus, he has a deep understanding of Haxorus.

Before Haxorus evolved into Dragonite, it could use the three "Dragon Balls" on its neck and tail to change the weather. Unlike simply using "Rain", "Sandstorm", "Snow Scene", "Hail" and "Sunny Day", Haxorus can really control the weather with the energy in the crystals.

Unfortunately, after the evolution, the crystal disappeared. Although Dragonite gained greater strength and still retained a certain sense of weather moves, it can no longer call the wind and rain as it did in the Haxorubicin period.

Now there are three Haxorus that can control the weather by his side. It doesn’t matter if their power cannot radiate to the entire Cauldron Lake, as long as they can affect the nearby areas.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu quickly looked at Hakron and the others and told them all his thoughts.

The three Haxorus readily agreed to Luo Mu's request. Normally they would not abuse their innate special powers, but since it was used to do meaningful good things, they would not be stingy with their efforts.

The raindrops fell on the slender bodies of Haxoruba and others, making their scales look a little slippery. As Pokémon that often live in water, they are not averse to rain.

Led by the different-colored Haxorus, the three Dragonites spread their wings and flew high into the sky. Even the strong wind and rain could not stop their movements. However, within a few breaths, the three Haxorus had turned into sesame-sized black dots in Luo Mu's eyes.

Then, the crystals on the bodies of the three Hakrons began to glow with a blue luster, and a mysterious aura slowly spread out to the surroundings with the Hakrons as the center.

The feeling of controlling the weather is very strange, as if you have become one with nature.

According to Luo Mu's request, the three Haxorus worked together to gather the electric energy from the rain clouds covering the entire Daguo Lake in this area, and the effect was almost immediate.

Familiar lightning streaked across the sky nearby, and Hackron and the others flew back panting, and it was obvious that they had exhausted a lot of energy.

Luo Mu knew that the time had come, so he picked up the messenger bird with one hand and walked to Dragonite who was already prepared, and handed the messenger bird to Dragonite.

"I'll leave the messenger bird to you. Let it see your fearlessness of storms and rain."

The Messenger Bird didn't react until it was carried by Dragonite and flown directly to the location where lightning was most frequent.

By the time it found itself high in the sky, thunder was striking all around it continuously, like a sea of ​​thunder.

In an instant, the messenger bird's heart began to beat wildly, as if it was about to escape from its body at any time.

The messenger bird's body began to tremble, and Dragonite, who was holding it tightly, could not hide it. Dragonite said to comfort it: "Bowu~" (Don't be afraid, I'm here.)
I don’t know if it was because of Dragonite’s reliable body that the messenger bird had some courage. It started talking to Dragonite with a trembling voice: “Deli.” (It’s so high up here, and there are so many lightnings. I’m scared.)

The messenger bird closed its eyes and didn't want to look around, but the endless thunder could not be blocked at all. On the contrary, due to the fear in the messenger bird's heart, the thunder seemed to become louder and louder in its imagination.

Dragonite was a little surprised. It didn't usually have much contact with Messenger Bird. Thunder and lightning were okay, but it didn't expect that there was actually a flying Pokémon that was afraid of the sky.

Thinking of Luo Mu's previous instructions, Dragonite patiently began to slowly guide the messenger bird: "Bowu~~Bowu~" (Don't look down, try to open your eyes and look around.)
The messenger bird kept Luo Mu's words in mind, and under Dragonite's patient guidance, it slowly opened its eyes.

Then the messenger bird froze.

Because now it is at the center of the densest dark clouds and thunder.

The dark clouds covered the sky, not a single ray of light could penetrate through them, but the dense thunder that streaked across the sky illuminated the surroundings like daytime, and everything seemed like a scene from the end of the world.

This was undoubtedly the most dangerous area, but Dragonite's flight was smooth as a trace of turbulence. From time to time, it gracefully dodged the lightning that struck it head-on. Occasionally, when it didn't want to avoid it, the emerald green shield would open. The terrifying lightning that almost killed it had no effect on the shield at all, and at most could only cause ripples in it.

The shrill howling wind could not affect Dragonite's flying posture at all. It was obvious that if it were him, he would definitely be blown away by the wind, but Dragonite controlled the wind and swam freely in this ocean of thunder.

Dragonite's excited voice rang out: "Bowu, Bowu!" (You see, as long as we master the method and have enough physique and skills, even a place like this will not be enough to threaten us.)
Dragonite admitted that it was very excited today. Normally, when it was carrying Luo Mu, it would never be able to challenge an occasion like this.

It was indeed extremely exciting. After conquering the thunderstorm, Dragonite was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The stunned messenger bird was speechless. After seeing Dragonite's fierce move, the fear in its heart dissipated a lot, and turned into surprise, astonishment, and deep-seated envy and longing.

The lightning it encountered was just scattered strikes, which was completely incomparable to the sea of ​​thunder that Dragonite was swimming in now.

Dragonite's cheerful mood was conveyed to the messenger bird through close contact and words. It remembered its wish, or dream, when it was flying in the sky before being struck by lightning.

When flying freely in the endless sky, the messenger bird often feels great ambition and wonders if it can conquer the endless sky one day and fly as it pleases.

The reason why a dream is called a dream is because it is out of reach. It is precisely because it is difficult to achieve that it is worth pursuing.

The messenger bird suddenly became clear-headed, and was surprised to find that the fear had gradually dissipated without its noticing, and was replaced by a strong desire to fly.

The messenger bird's eyes became firm, and he asked Dragonite: "Okay!" (I want to try to avoid lightning like you!)
