Chapter 294: Just a Passing Farmer

Just as Xiaozhi and his companions docked at Asia Island and came to the big Tiki hut, they listened to the strange and ethereal song played by the festival saint on the flute and heard her talk about the customs of previous years. Soon after, a terrible storm enveloped the waters near Asia Island.

The Saint of the Festival, Flora, looked outside with concern and murmured, "I'm afraid this weather is not suitable for going out to sea."

"Pikachu"

Pikachu's ears drooped and his expression was very lost.

Its trainer, Ash, also showed the same expression. In a sense, this pair of Pokémon and trainer are very similar.

The orange-haired girl Xiaoxia advised, "It's simply unrealistic to go out to sea in this weather. For safety reasons, let's wait until the storm and the sea calm down before taking action."

As an expert in water-attribute Pokémon, Xiaoxia is well aware of the terrifying power brewing in the ocean.

Next to him, Xiaojian, a Pokémon observer wearing a headband, stroked his chin and frowned slightly.

Although the sea is inherently capricious and unpredictable.

But this change was too sudden, full of some abnormal taste.
Shortly after the group decided to temporarily give up going out to sea, the meteorological centers established on several islands in the Orange Islands all received abnormal climate alerts from monitoring stations.

Heavy rain, tsunamis, storms and even earthquakes.

It was like the world itself was crying for something.

The staff who encountered this situation for the first time were all dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with it.

What's more, the most terrifying thing is that this phenomenon is not limited to the Orange Islands. According to the data displayed by the monitors, the phenomenon of climate runaway is now gradually spreading outward!

At this rate, it will probably spread to the Kanto region in just a few hours, and the Johto region in half a day. After a while, Sinnoh, Unova, and other regions will be covered, and even the other half of the planet will be covered in a day or two!
In the weather center, some young people who had never seen such a strange phenomenon and were psychologically fragile had already covered their faces and began to sob quietly.

On Daigan Island, an intellectual woman in a white coat and with a good figure had just rescued a few walking grasses shivering in the storm with her assistants.

Among the assistants who were all soaked, Xiao Gang asked in confusion: "Dr. Uchiki, wasn't the weather forecast for the next few days sunny? Why did it change so suddenly?"

Professor Uchiki frowned slightly, looking at the black clouds that seemed to be crushing the sky, as well as the strange behavior of some water-attribute Pokémon that he had just caught a glimpse of, all of which were rushing in a certain direction.

As a doctor who studies the regional changes in the forms of Pokémon, she is very familiar with the Orange Islands. It seems that the only islands in that direction are Asia Island and a few small islands.

She went there briefly to investigate and heard some legends from the islanders.

God of Fire, God of Thunder, God of Ice and God of Sea
There was a moment of silence, and Nei Mu didn't care about the clothes that were sticking to his body due to the rain and making him feel uncomfortable.

Walking quickly to the phone, Uchika dialed the number of the important contact recorded next to it - Dr. Oak!
Perhaps only Professor Oak, an authority in Pokémon research, can answer her questions.

At the source of the incident, on the three islands, the Island of Thunder and the Island of Ice, two pairs of sharp eyes suddenly opened. Not long ago, they sensed that the breath of the owner of the Island of Fire had disappeared.

After only a moment's hesitation, the two divine birds made different choices.

As dull thunder sounded in the clouds, the lightning bird flapped its wings, emitting crackling discharges, as if it was forged by golden light, and flew at high speed towards the Fire Island.

Since the breath of Moltres has disappeared, it should occupy that island!
Articuno decided to stay on its island. For some reason, it felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Intensive thunderstorms continued to fall from the top of the clouds, and the deafening roar brought a strong sense of oppression. In a cave on the cliff at the edge of Asia Island, King Slow stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the outside world with a distressed expression.

"This is a bit difficult."

In this kind of weather, will the commander still show up?

The image of Mewtwo appeared in Slowking's mind. If it was that special Pokémon, perhaps it could have a way to stop this disaster, but such a thing happened just when it was away.

In the center of a dense thunderstorm, the huge airship ignored the roar of nature and allowed the electric current to pour over itself like a dam bursting. Countless gun muzzles continued to light up with flames, and freezing bullets that were extremely effective against flying Pokémon were continuously fired.

The lightning bird is agile and constantly moves in the air, using agile movements that even the most powerful fighter pilots cannot do to avoid freezing bullets.

But under the intensive attack, the lightning bird was inevitably hit by the freezing bullet, and its wings shining with electric light were frozen with a thin layer of ice.

Actually, this is not a big deal. It just slightly affects the flexibility of flight. For the Lightning Bird, it can easily crush it by increasing the release of electricity.

But the one fighting it now is not a human or a Pokémon, but an artificial intelligence that calculates everything and will never miss a fleeting opportunity.

The next moment when Zapdos's movements slowed down, the ring that still captured Moltres shot out and caught up with Zapdos, trapping it inside with a special magnetic field that even Zapdos could not break, forming a cage.

Inside the flying boat, the emotionless female voice continued to broadcast.

"The God of Thunder has been captured, and the location of the God of Ice has been locked. Mr. Gilluta, are you going to the Ice Island?"

"Let's go once we're ready."

Gilluta placed his right leg on top of his left leg and gave the order with a smile.

He is in a good mood now. The God of Fire and the God of Thunder have been captured. As long as the God of Ice is captured, the God of Sea will definitely appear.

At the same time, because the Lightning Bird was captured, the dense thunderstorms and storms that swept across the entire Orange Islands finally slowed down a little, at least to the point where they could go out to sea.

Xiaozhi and his friends boarded a speedboat and headed for the three islands, and then ran head-on into Articuno, whose stable triangle relationship had been broken in two corners. Because Articuno was closely related to the balance of nature, he himself was also affected by the disordered balance of nature, and his heart gradually became irritable until he lost his mind!
A helicopter took off from the direction of Daigan Island, and Professor Uchiki, Professor Oak, Hanako who was worried about Satoshi following him, and the Ice King, Kona, who rushed over urgently, worried that the changes in the Orange Islands would spread to his hometown of the Seven Islands!
Padia region, Pingdie town.

late at night.

The changes in the other half of the planet had not yet affected here, because there was not even a computer in Luo Mu's rural corner, let alone high-configuration equipment that could support its invasion of the Orange Islands monitoring group in the Kanto region.

Mewtwo instantly teleported to Flat Disc Town, spent some time collecting a bunch of seemingly scrap metal materials, used its superpowers to perform micro-manipulations, and no one knew how it did it, but it quickly created a supercomputer with its own hands.

After all this operation, it was almost midnight.

It's not like Mewtwo hadn't thought about teleporting back to his base and making use of the existing equipment and systems.

But in order to get rid of the Rockets' relentless pursuit, it had destroyed all the equipment that could expose itself, not to mention that the cost of teleporting across half the planet was not a negligible amount even for it.

In terms of mental power reserves, Mewtwo is actually weaker than Mew, but it has the advantage of being able to continue to grow, and its control over superpowers is far higher than Mew, who has not practiced at all.

After teleporting back and forth two or three times, its mental strength will be exhausted. What will it use to face the crisis that may come at any time?

Mewtwo's vigilance would not allow him to waste his strength at will.

While Mewtwo was invading the system to investigate Gilluta's whereabouts, it was looking for any strange things to happen in the Orange Islands recently, when it suddenly saw a live broadcast room with soaring popularity.

The live broadcast was broadcast simultaneously with the TV news, and the characters appearing in it were important enough that Mewtwo clicked on it directly.

"Many Pokémon with the ability to cross the sea are moving to Asia Island in the Orange Islands for unknown reasons, while Pokémon that cannot cross the sea are gathering on the land closest to Asia Island."

"Let's ask Professor Oki and Dr. Uchiki about this phenomenon."

"Legend has it that the gods of fire, thunder, and ice live on Asia Island. Their power and balance make the deep ocean current flow smoothly, giving birth to the first life of this planet. In other words, the center of the deep ocean current is where life was born."

"At this moment, the balance is disturbed by unknown factors, and the Pokémon seem to sense something."

As Professor Oak and Professor Uchiki finished their explanations, the camera turned its lens to the outside world, and aerial photography revealed that countless Pokémon in the sea and in the sky were moving in a certain direction.

At this time, Kona, who had been sitting quietly, said seriously: "Regarding this incident, I will go to investigate on behalf of the Kanto region. Please don't panic, and stay in a safe place as much as possible."

Mewtwo turned off the live broadcast room.

Its action of invading the Kanto region's system paused. This phenomenon was not natural at all. Mewtwo frowned, thinking of the three divine birds and balance that Professor Oak and the others had just mentioned.

Could it be that something happened there after it had been gone for less than a day?
After a moment of silence, Mewtwo directly chose to wake up Luo Mu who was sleeping soundly.

The moment Luo Mu saw the screen in the live broadcast room, all his sleepiness disappeared.

From the bottom of his heart, Luo Mu shouted: "I'll go!"

So when Mewtwo came to find him, Gilrota's action had already begun, or was about to begin?
Because the distance between the regions was too great, Mewtwo was completely unaware of the disruption in the natural balance, and it would take at least several days for the radiation from there to reach the Padia region.

With all the coincidences and missed opportunities, as well as the influence of some factors, the scenes in the live broadcast room have reached this level. I'm afraid that Gilluta has already achieved half of his success.

There was no time to sleep now. His intuition told Luo Mu that the situation had changed subtly. At least in his impression, Kona should not be in the live broadcast room!

If it were something that only affected the local area, Luo Mu would not necessarily bother to take care of it, but the imbalance of nature was clearly radiating to the entire world.

Even if we take a step back, the changes in the Orange Islands will be stopped by other legendary elves when they awaken when they reach their territories.

But Luo Mu could not put his hope on Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza, on Dialga, Palkia and Giratina who were free outside the world space, or on Zygarde who was in the same hemisphere as him and was probably unable to protect himself now.

Even for the safety of the farm, he felt he had to go just in case.

He made all the preparations according to his memory. Holding the messenger bird in his arms, Luo Mu looked at Mewtwo, indicating to Mewtwo that he was ready and could set off for Asia Island at any time.

But Mewtwo did not move. Instead, it turned its gaze towards the True Three Divine Birds, which had woken up because of the noise and were now peeking over here.

"Take them with you, maybe they'll come in handy."

Mewtwo's telepathy echoed in the minds of the creatures present. Moltres was immediately dissatisfied. What do you mean by maybe it can be useful! ?

But due to Mewtwo's power being on the same level as that of the Rhinoceros, Moltres could only sulk alone.

Articuno and Zapdos looked confused. Why did they take them along?
Aren’t they here to work and enjoy their appetites?

As if he had guessed what Mewtwo was thinking, Luo Mu hesitated for a moment and looked at Zapdos and Articuno.

There is no need to worry about Moltres, the main thing is how to get Zapdos and Articuno to go with him.

"How about I double the luxury of your original meal when we get back?"

Zapdos & Articuno: !!!

Zapdos, who had no idea what reserve was, came over to Luo Mu and Mewtwo like a running chicken, and Articuno hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't overcome his inner desire and walked over.

However, Mewtwo wasn't ready to move.

Glancing at the three legendary birds still outside, Mewtwo, who couldn't admit that he felt that teleporting too many beings at the same time would consume a lot of mental energy, said calmly: "Put them back into the Poké Balls. If there are no Poké Balls, capture them on the spot and release them when you come back."

Luo Mu: “.”

Zapdos & Articuno: !!!!!!
In the end, Zapdos and Articuno still entered the red and white Poké Ball that Luo Mu took out. Anyway, they could break free at any time if they needed to, so it was not a big problem.

It's not like I'm threatened by Mewtwo and won't score a goal so I roll them into a ball!

Under Zhihuixing's gaze, there was a flash of light, and the figures of Luo Mu, Mewtwo and the Messenger Bird disappeared out of thin air.

Zhi Huixing murmured: "The crisis of the world"

"Wow!!!"

Dragging its beautiful tail feathers, the ice-blue bird, which should have been full of elegance, has now completely lost its mind. It keeps emitting light that seems to be able to freeze everything, and the whistling cold wind caused by the flapping of its wings makes people feel as if they are in the far north.

Under the ravages of Articuno, large tracts of sea were frozen into solid ice and stopped flowing, further exacerbating the collapse of the natural balance.

And on that endless land of ice, a few small dots were fleeing in a panic.

They were none other than the Festival Saint Flora and Xiaozhi's group.

Under Articuno's large-scale, non-targeted attack, the speedboat they were riding was directly frozen in the sea, and the people could only keep moving on this icy land to avoid Articuno's range attack.

Xiaoxia's orange hair was covered with a thin layer of frost. She hugged Togepi, who was shivering in the cold, and complained in unbearable pain: "What is going on now——!"

It was just an ordinary trip out to sea after a storm, just a routine procedure, why did I encounter such a thing?
Furula tightly grasped the flute that could play the song that was said to calm the anger of the three gods, and her face was solemn: "Everything predicted by the prophecy has come true, and now this world is heading towards destruction!"

Xiao Jian's face was filled with fear: "The world is going to be destroyed, are you kidding me!?"

Dodging another ray of freezing light that streaked across the sky, Furula said in a deep voice, "We must act according to the prophecy. Collect the three treasures, place them on the altar of the temple, play the flute, and appease the anger of the gods!"

"Charizard, jet of fire! Pikachu, 100,000 volts!"

At this time, Xiaozhi threw the Poké Ball fiercely, and the Charizard, which was now able to obey his command, aimed at a branch of the Ice Beam that was attacking them from behind. Its throat moved and high-temperature fire lines were sprayed out without any effort.

On the other side, Pikachu also released a golden electric current, which bombarded the ice-blue light together with the fire line.

This is the full strength of Charizard and Pikachu, but they can only deflect the range of the Freeze Beam, and use the interference of energy and energy to make it explode behind Satoshi and the others in advance.

You know, this is just a branch of the Ice God's freezing ray. If it focuses its attention on them, how terrifying will the targeted freezing ray be?
At this time, apparently because of the counterattack of Charizard and Pikachu, Articuno, who was aimlessly destroying the surroundings, seemed to notice Ash and his group. It stared at them with turbid and angry eyes, and a bright light gathered in its mouth.

This time it's absolute zero!

Xiao Jian said in horror: "It's all over, it's all over!"

Even though he wasn't a trainer, he knew that Articuno was planning something, and the moves that would lock onto them must be terrifying.

Not to mention the murderous intent that permeated the air!

Xiaoxia stopped running and hugged Togepi tightly. Water and ice are inseparable, and she knew very well how wide the range of absolute zero was.

They could no longer escape relying only on their feet.

As optimistic as Xiaozhi was, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate at this moment, but he was still stubborn. He gritted his teeth, clenched his hands in fingerless gloves, and shouted: "Pikachu, Charizard, one more 100,000 volts and jets of fire!"

Misty and the others were also moved by Ash's perseverance and released all their Pokémons to resist.

The next moment, a bright beam of light roared out like a torrent. Compared with it, the light emitted by Charizard, Pikachu and several other people's Pokémon moves was like a firefly compared to the bright moon. There was no comparison at all. In the blink of an eye, they were frozen by absolute zero.

At this desperate moment, a female voice suddenly sounded: "Laplace, Absolute Zero! Slowpoke, hold on!"

The ice torrent, which was a circle smaller than Articuno's absolute zero, canceled it out. At the same time, red light descended in front of Satoshi and the others.

Standing in front of several people, Slowpoke held up a shield strengthened by mental power to block the remaining aftermath after breaking through Laplace's absolute zero.

At this time, the sound of propellers turning came from above their heads. The red-haired woman jumped from a height of 100 meters without any protection, and landed in front of Satoshi and his companions with the help of Slowpoke's super powers.

Xiaoxia, who recognized the person, said excitedly: "Kona King!"

At the same time, the helicopter landed, and Professor Oak, Professor Uchiki, Hanako, reporters and others filed out, their cameras pointed at the angry Ice God in the sky, and everyone looked surprised.

Staring closely at Articuno, Kona said in a deep voice: "I will hold Articuno back. Professor Oak, Professor Uchiki, please find a way to prevent the collapse of the balance of nature!"

As soon as Kona finished speaking, a deafening explosion sounded across the sky from farther away, and the flames rising into the sky could be clearly seen even from here.

What happened over there?
Above the Ice Island, Gilluta, who had just arrived here in an airship, discovered that the Ice God had disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the airship's artificial intelligence voice sounded again.

"Mr. Gilrota, Articuno's energy was reflected in the sky 25 kilometers away. It may have concealed its presence and flew there in one breath."

Frowning, Gilluta said in a deep voice: "Change direction, goal - contain Articuno."

"Yes."

Just as Gilluta was about to return to his control panel, a faint space fluctuation spread inside the airship.

As a red light lit up inside the airship, a shrill alarm sounded.

The figures of Luo Mu, Mewtwo and Mewtwo appeared directly in front of Gilrota.

"Intruder detected. Intruder detected—"

"Shut up! I've seen it!"

Gilluta didn't show any panic, but looked at Mewtwo with great interest, raising his eyebrows: "I've never seen a psychic Pokémon before, teleported?"

"This place should be ten thousand meters in the sky, right?"

The teleportation of ordinary psychic Pokémon should not be able to reach this level.

Luo Mu and Mewtwo ignored him. After arriving at Asia Island, Mewtwo sensed the collapse of the natural balance as expected. After communicating with Slowking and accepting its commission, with Luo Mu's reminder, Mewtwo quickly found the airship hidden above the clouds.

Luo Mu first cast his gaze towards the restrained Moltres and Zapdos on the other side, but did not see Articuno. Fortunately, he arrived not too late.

Luo Mu also noticed that there were Moltres and Zapdos here, but no Satoshi and his crew or the Rocket trio. Sure enough, the plot had changed.

"Is there any way?"

Luo Mu looked at Mewtwo and questioned it with his eyes.

Mewtwo nodded slightly. Although it was a black technology that could capture the God of Fire and the God of Thunder, as a wholesaler of black technology, Mewtwo knew very well that when a certain performance was pushed to the limit, there would inevitably be some defects.

Just like these cages that captured the God of Fire and the God of Thunder, the God of Fire and the God of Thunder were completely unable to use their power inside. It could be said that they had no possibility of escaping from the cages by their own strength.

On the contrary, the cage can be easily broken with a little force from the outside.

Seeing that Luo Mu ignored him, the fearless Jilutai was not annoyed at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Although I don't like uninvited and rude guests, but considering that you brought souvenirs, I forgive you."

"Well, could you please introduce yourself? For example, what should I call you?"

"Luo Mu, just a farmer passing by."

Looking at Gilluta who wanted to destroy his peaceful life, the Poké Ball in Luo Mu's hand suddenly flashed red.

The next moment, with Gilluta's obviously stunned expression, the figures of Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos appeared one after another.
