Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 899 The figure of Xuanwu suppressing the fog

“Jie!!”

The black and red flames swept out, and the Leap Duck, the Ball Sea Lion, and the Sobble Lizard were all defeated.

In Xiaodian's strategy, the tactic of using water-based formations to suppress flames was ineffective.

“Mibrim…” Seeing Mibrim in her arms with tears streaming down her face, Riko paused for a moment, lost in thought.

"This feeling of powerlessness... is really troublesome." Fried frowned as he looked at Charizard and Captain Pikachu lying on the ground.

"Heh!!" Suddenly, the Galarian Firebird flapped its wings forcefully, unleashing countless wind blades.

"Oh no! Rico!" Roy and Little Dot were shocked and rushed towards Rico.

"Pikachu!" Captain Pikachu was faster than them, unleashing a Volt Attack straight at them.

Boom! Golden lightning streaked across the sky. The captain fearlessly clashed with the wind blades!

"Pikachu!!" Seeing Captain Pikachu fly backwards, Freed leaped to save him, thankfully escaping unharmed.

Just as Galarian Moltres was engulfed in black and red flames, Ash finally made his move.

"That's it!"

*Whoosh!* A flash of light appeared on the crystal around Pikachu's neck. Ash's gaze suddenly sharpened.

What triggered this crystal...?

With no time to think, Ash could only wave as he watched Galarian Moltres get close to Riko.

"Magic Masked Cat, let's go!"

Whoosh! The magic thread bound the three little ones together, and with a strong pull from the Magic Masked Cat, everyone flew into the minecart.

"Kids, get out of here when the wind gets strong!" Raichu roared, and the minecart sped away from the mine.

"Molotov!" Roy stared blankly in the direction of the mine, when Ash slapped him on the forehead.

"Don't worry, treat the Pokémon first, and come back next time. It won't leave here anytime soon."

The group returned to the Pokémon Center in Motostoke, where Nurse Joy's miraculous healing powers quickly restored the three Pokémon to their former vitality.

"So, everything's alright now, right?" Ash asked calmly, a bottle of soy milk dangling from his lips in the Pokémon Center's restaurant.

"It's all over now." Fried breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's do a recap." Xiao Zhi smiled and started, "Xiao Dian, you go first. What went wrong with this team fight?"

"It was my misjudgment." Little Point looked at the Pokédex and said apologetically, "I subconsciously thought Galarian Moltres was a Fire-type Pokémon, and my all-Water-type team couldn't deal any damage at all."

"My Blazing Crocodile was blown away as soon as it entered the arena; it was my mistake in commanding it," Roy said, taking the blame.

"I was distracted at a crucial moment, I'm sorry everyone." Rico lowered her head in shame.

After the three children finished speaking, they looked at Fried...

Fried couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Yes, I'm bad... I'm guilty..."

"Hey you guys," Xiao Zhi rubbed his temples, "I told you to do a replay, not to assign blame."

Why did you lose? How should you play next? Did you learn nothing from this defeat?

“Um… I think,” Roy raised his hand, “since it’s a team battle, why don’t we just use one or two Pokémon? Even if the moves aren’t very effective, Grookey and the others can still distract Galarian Moltres.”

“That’s right.” Little Dot calculated carefully: “Electric and Rock types, as well as Ice types, are the most effective. So, the captain should be the main DPS, and we’ll be responsible for support and kiting.”

"Pikachu~" Captain Pikachu clenched his fist and nodded.

Ash's Pikachu scratched its head and looked away awkwardly. If it wanted to, it could have easily defeated the opponent in one move. Unfortunately, today was the three little ones' day.

"Rico~ What about you?" Ash turned to look at Riko: "What did you find?"

“I think…” Riko hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, “Since Mibrim can sense the other person’s emotions, then Mibrim cried when facing Galarian Moltres.”

Does this mean that Galarian Moltres is not just filled with anger, but also harbors a deeper sorrow that we cannot comprehend?

"Riko~" Fried looked at Riko in surprise, not expecting her to be able to see so clearly.

"Go on," Ash said, patting Riko's head gently.

"So... I think fighting is just one method. If... we can calm him down, that might also be a way to win the team battle," Riko replied earnestly.

Clap clap clap… Ash couldn’t help but clap his hands in admiration: “Great job, Riko, you really observe very carefully.”

Without the aid of wave-guiding power or superhuman strength, it's truly remarkable that they were able to gather so much information through their own observation.

"Xiao Zhi, what do you mean?" Fried asked in surprise.

"That's right, in my perception, the Galarian Moltres squadron is mired in a sorrowful mood."

Even his rage was caused by excessive worry.

Upon receiving Ash's confirmation, Riko and the others were taken aback, not expecting that Moltres was actually overwhelmed with grief.

"So, how do we soothe the other person's emotions?" Xiao Dian asked, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Don't you know?" Ash took out a Poké Ball, and Meowth turned around gracefully, releasing a refreshing scent.

Everyone's eyes lit up: "That's right! Tiramisu's fragrance can soothe Pokémon's emotions!"

"I get it! As long as everyone holds off Moltres, and then let Tire Meow's Fragrance be blown into Moltres's nose with a skill, we'll have won half the battle." Little Dot had a sudden inspiration.

“That’s right, then let’s not delay, let’s go again.” Ash stood up.

"Ow!!"

Leaving the Pokémon Center, the group easily returned to the mine. The scene of utter chaos made their hearts pound.

“Looks like it’s still angry…” Roy shrank his neck.

"It's okay. As long as we can understand each other, I believe Moltres will understand our feelings." Riko clenched her fist, her eyes resolute: "Understanding Pokémon's feelings, caring for Pokémon's emotions, and being able to fight for Pokémon—that's the kind of trainer I want to become!"

"Very well, go ahead." Ash waved his hand, and the three little ones charged at Moltres again.

"Scorching Crocodile, use Flamethrower to distract your opponent!" Roy made the first move.

"Wow!" The scorching crocodile opened its mouth wide, and a blazing pillar of fire shot straight into the sky.

"Flame Rabbit, use Spark to hold them back!" Little Dot joined in.

The combined skills of both sides caused the Moltres to descend from its high altitude.

"Now, Owlwood, take Tiremy flying!" Little Dot waved.

"Wooden Knot!!" Woody Owl flapped its wings and flew forward with Tire Meow.

"Meow!" Tire Meow clapped her hands, and fresh green light spots shot out along with the leaves, instantly rushing towards the Firebird.

With a hiss... for a moment, the Moltres seemed to fall silent.

However, the next second, a pink mist suddenly spread from Moltres's wings. Upon inhaling the pink mist, Moltres's eyes instantly turned blood red.

Boom! The black and red flames blazed with fury, and the three little ones' expressions changed: "Oh no!"

In the moment of crisis, the crystal on Ash's Pikachu suddenly lit up. In the dazzling light, a sky-blue turtle with a rainbow-colored crystal shell raised its head and revealed a round shape.

Then... whoosh! The azure turtle grew taller in the wind, transforming into a gigantic figure that pressed down fiercely.

Bang!! Galarian Moltres let out a miserable cry as the pink mist around it was squeezed out and completely absorbed by Tortoise.

Ash entered the illusion alone and looked at the figure before him. Despite the blurring effect of the fog, Ash could still see the figure of a woman wearing a white coat.

"Who is it?" Ash frowned in confusion.
