On the battlefield, the four Legendary Pokémon that had been fighting had all noticed the sudden intrusion of the three legendary birds.
The three gods were the first to stop, cautiously watching their counterparts, wondering where they had come from and what their purpose was. And Lugia, taking advantage of the moment, finally got a chance to catch its breath.
Unexpectedly, when Natsui's three legendary birds drew near, there was no communication at all; they directly launched an attack on the three gods!
This move could be said to have completely enraged the three gods!
Are they here to fight for territory? Or are they just looking for trouble? Why didn't they even say hello!?
With no time to think, the three gods, already extremely territorial, were now even less inclined to be polite. They all abandoned Lugia and instead engaged in a fierce battle with Natsui's trio.
Fire against fire, ice found ice, and lightning naturally targeted lightning!
For a moment, six bird Pokémon chased each other in the sky, their various moves clashing and erupting in a brilliant display of light.
But it had to be said, the three gods of the Orange Archipelago were truly powerful. Although they had been easily captured by the collector, the destructive power of their moves was not to be underestimated.
After just a few rounds, apart from Natsui's Moltres which was holding its own, both his Articuno and Zapdos had slowly begun to fall into a disadvantage!
However, Natsui wasn't too surprised by this, nor did he show any signs of panic. After all, this wasn't a formal match. If a one-on-one didn't work, they could team up or use flanking maneuvers. There was no need to adhere to rigid battle rules.
He assessed the situation on the battlefield and finally focused his gaze on the god of ice.
As the saying goes, attack the weakest opponent first. In a group fight, you naturally have to concentrate your fire on the weakest one!
This wasn't to say that the god of ice was the weakest of the three; in fact, each of them was very powerful. The reason he targeted the god of ice was simply due to its typing!
His Moltres was the strongest of his trio, and with Fire being super effective against Ice, it undoubtedly had an advantage. And with the help of his other two Pokémon, they could outnumber it and surely defeat it quickly.
Thinking of this, he sent out Gardevoir again.
Because they were too far away, shouting commands would be ineffective. Therefore, he needed Gardevoir's telepathy to directly transmit his thoughts to them.
One of Gardevoir's arms rested lightly on Natsui, while its gaze locked onto the three legendary birds.
Natsui said in his mind: 'Moltres, stop fighting that god of fire and go deal with the god of ice. Zapdos, you go help too, your Electric-type moves are also super effective against its Flying type. As for you, Articuno, your job for now is to hold off the other two. You absolutely cannot let them get close to help before the god of ice is defeated!'
Following Natsui's coordination, his three legendary birds changed their targets, each to their assigned roles.
Just then, Natsui also instructed the Gardevoir beside him, "Connect my telepathy to Lugia."
Gardevoir nodded, its gaze shifting to lock onto Lugia.
'Lugia, I am the trainer of the three legendary birds. I need your help. Work with my Articuno to hold off the god of fire and the god of thunder for now!'
The next second, a neutral voice sounded in Natsui's mind. It was Lugia, also using telepathy!
'I see. So you are the chosen one?'
'No, I'm not,' Natsui denied directly. 'I'm just a trainer who happened to come to this island. The chosen one should be my companion. He has already gone to Ice Island to retrieve the final treasure. But now is not the time to dwell on this. I think that even an ordinary person can do their own small part in a crisis like this!'
'Is that so,' Lugia said after a moment of silence. 'You are right. I understand. I will help stop the god of thunder and the god of fire to buy time for the chosen one's return.'
With the addition of Natsui's trio, the pressure on Lugia was greatly reduced, and it could now finally focus more on attacking.
It opened its mouth, and energy gathered within. Then, a massive Hydro Pump shot out, blasting towards the god of fire.
BOOM!
Faced with such a sharp attack, the god of fire could only dodge. But because it was too close to Lugia, half of its body was still grazed by the attack.
It let out a cry of pain, its body trembling as it endured the pain and flew higher into the sky!
Wounding the god of fire with a single blow, although aided by the Water-over-Fire type advantage, still showed that Lugia's strength indeed surpassed that of any other Pokémon present!
On the other side, Natsui's Moltres and Zapdos had already cornered the god of ice. One frequently used Flamethrower, while the other constantly fired Thundershocks, forcing the god of ice to face attacks from two sides, unable to defend against both.
Although the god of ice fought back with fierce determination and strength, it only had one pair of eyes and was bound to have blind spots, occasionally getting hit by a sneak attack from either Moltres or Zapdos. Its stamina was running low!
And perhaps out of instinct, the god of thunder subconsciously wanted to go and rescue the god of ice, but it was blocked halfway by Articuno.
Natsui glanced around the battlefield and nodded slightly.
Good. If we can defeat the god of ice first, the situation will be firmly in my control.
Thinking of this, he even took a moment to glance at Ash.
At this moment, Ash had taken a piece of the sailboat wreckage and was using it as a board. Pulled by his Charizard, he was heading towards Ice Island like he was on a snowmobile.
However, he had to constantly dodge the aftershocks of the attacks, so he had to keep changing direction, making his speed not as fast as one might think.
But because the situation on the battlefield was developing in their favor, Natsui was no longer in such a hurry to get the treasure.
However, just at that moment, dozens of iron rings suddenly flew out from the crater of the ice-covered Lightning Island, surrounding Lugia!
These rings emitted an electric glow, and in just an instant, they had bound Lugia in mid-air.
Damn it!
It's the collector, he's made his move!!
It wasn't Natsui's fault for being careless and forgetting about the collector.
It was just that at the time, they were in a hurry to escape the potentially explosive wreckage, and no one had paid any attention to whether he had survived. They had assumed he had gone down with the ship. They never would have thought that he had survived against all odds and would choose this moment to strike!
He must have seen Lugia appear and, throwing all caution to the wind, decided to capture it directly!
In mid-air, Lugia let out a painful cry, but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape the restraint of these iron rings!
Seeing this sudden turn of events, Natsui's brow furrowed.
With Lugia immobilized, the tide of battle had completely turned in an instant!
And he had already experienced the toughness of those iron rings. Even if he wanted his Moltres and the others to destroy them, not only would they have to give up their hard-won advantage over the god of ice, but the other three gods would surely not just stand by and watch!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
His mind raced, knowing that he couldn't hesitate now; he had to make a swift decision.
Zapdos! Articuno! Moltres! It's come to this. We have to defeat at least one of them before the three gods can regroup! It seems we can't hold back any longer. Let's use that ultimate move!!'
