As one could see, as the three legendary birds continuously circled upwards, the clouds grew thicker and thicker. Lightning flickered in the clouds from time to time, but it did not strike down randomly as before. Instead, it was contained within the clouds. Clearly, the three legendary birds were accumulating energy there, brewing something terrifying.
Gengar turned its head to look at Natsui and urged, "We should get out of here too. It'll be dangerous if we stay any longer."
As a witness to the birth of this move, Gengar knew what terrifying power was coming. And apart from a very few Pokémon, it also knew that no one could withstand the coming torrent of energy.
Natsui nodded.
The power and range of the Triple Bird Strike were immense. He was not a Pokémon. If he were within the attack range, he would probably be directly turned to dust, with not even a speck remaining. To avoid being affected, he had to get as far away as possible.
Recalling Gardevoir, Natsui mounted Charizard and, together with Gengar, flew into the distance.
But before flying away, he looked back at the crystal tower one last time.
I hope Ash and the others have already reached the bottom of the tower. If they're still dawdling up high, they'll definitely be caught in it…
But then again, even if they were caught in it, it wouldn't matter much.
After all, the physique of the Super Rookie from Pallet Town couldn't be measured by common sense. He could not only throw large trees and lift a Tyranitar, but also push a Wailord, and even come out unscathed after being electrocuted and burned. No matter what happened to him, except for a plot-related death, he would absolutely not die.
In fact, after being around Ash for so long, Misty and Brock also seemed to have become extraordinary.
It could be said that there was no need to worry about them at all.
On the field, under the pressure of the tense atmosphere, the three legendary beasts became more and more restless. Out of instinct, they each launched their moves at the sky, trying in vain to stop the three legendary birds.
Flames, lightning, and water shot out from the mouths of the three legendary beasts, flying straight into the sky.
But after these powerful moves shot into the dark clouds, they were like stones sinking into the sea. They could only penetrate a few layers of clouds before disappearing without a trace. Even the places that had just been penetrated were quickly filled by other clouds.
It seemed completely ineffective, barely causing a ripple.
In fact, in terms of strength, the three legendary birds and the three legendary beasts were basically the same, not much stronger. If the three legendary birds could use such powerful energy, then the three legendary beasts, being of the same level, could naturally also counter it with equal power.
But unfortunately, the three legendary beasts had no coordination with each other and couldn't work together to unleash such powerful energy. And most importantly, the three legendary birds were, after all, bird Pokémon. When they flew into the clouds, they could use the power of the weather to cause a climate change, thereby maximizing their energy.
The rain gains momentum from the wind, and the wind gains power from the rain. This was the principle.
Conversely, it was difficult for ground-based Pokémon to do this, and without being able to borrow the energy of the heavens and the earth, the power of their moves was naturally much weaker.
Charizard sped past the crystal forest, carrying Natsui towards the Pokémon Center.
At this moment, above Natsui's head, above the clouds, Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno were wrapped in flowing clouds, as if they were performing a strange bird's dance. And with every flap of their wings, one could clearly see the energy from their bodies slowly drifting into the clouds.
The lightning was getting smaller, but it was continuously gathering towards the three legendary birds.
The wind, rain, and snow that had been generated by the battle just now also suddenly stopped, like the calm before a storm.
And as they flew, as they moved away from the center of the battlefield, Natsui suddenly saw a figure on the ground, moving towards the crystal tower.
Looking closely, it was Erika.
Hmm? What is she doing here?
Is she looking for them?
Puzzled, but without stopping, Natsui patted Charizard's neck, had it lower its altitude, and flew rapidly towards Erika.
On the other side, sensing something approaching, Erika looked up and saw Natsui riding Charizard, rushing towards her.
Erika was just about to call out Natsui's name, but before she could speak, Charizard had already swooped down beside her.
"Get on, quick!"
With Natsui's voice, before Erika could react, she felt her hand being grabbed, and then her whole body was pulled up into the air.
"Ah!?"
Erika was astonished. When she came to her senses, she found that she was already in Natsui's arms.
On Charizard's back, Natsui had one arm around Erika's back, while the other was, by a stroke of luck, supporting her bottom.
With the soft body in his arms, feeling the softness in his hand, Natsui couldn't help but feel a bit distracted.
But it wasn't intentional.
It couldn't be helped. Because it had been too rushed just now, and the situation was urgent, there was simply no time to stop and wait for Erika to climb onto Charizard safely. That's why he had disregarded the distinction between men and women and had so abruptly pulled her into his arms.
Being held by Natsui, Erika was extremely shy.
But with her disposition, she wouldn't be angry about such a thing. She knew that Natsui must have had a reason for doing this, so she suppressed her shyness and, feigning composure, asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Natsui forced himself to focus. "Look behind you, quick!"
Hearing this, Erika was first taken aback, then looked behind Natsui.
In the dark sky, a cloud was emitting a dangerous light, so bright and dazzling in the night.
Even from a distance, she could feel the danger within it.
Although she had known that Natsui and the others were battling the enemy in the crystal tower before, she had been rushing through the crystal forest, and her view had been blocked by the crystallized branches and rocks. She couldn't see what was happening like Professor Oak and the others, so she naturally didn't know about the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Now, seeing it, she couldn't help but be shocked.
"What… what is going on!?"
Natsui didn't hide anything and told her everything about the three legendary birds and his plan to use the Triple Bird Strike.
"What!?"
Hearing Natsui's words, Erika was greatly shocked.
And it was only then that she knew that these six legendary Pokémon were all real.
Natsui was really battling legendary Pokémon! And what was most unbelievable was that the three legendary birds were all his Pokémon.
When did he catch them?
With this thought, she couldn't help but recall that when she, Natsui, and the International Police had raided the Team Rocket base, Natsui had seemed to be about to use some trump card against the executive Archer.
Could it be that he already had the three legendary birds back then?
Originally, she had thought she had a certain understanding of the man before her, but now it seemed that there were still too many mysteries about him that had not been revealed.
