Chapter 337 The restored divine bird, Cynthia's breakthrough, Hades' arrival!
Ash suddenly opened his eyes, and his soft murmur reached Mewtwo's ears.
They are now in a state of one mind and body, so Mewtwo can hear even the faintest sound.
Using the Mega Thunder move combined with Mewtwo and Pikachu, Ash finally broke through the power defenses of the two legendary birds and glimpsed the two control items inside their bodies.
Just as Ash thought, the tool to control the two legendary birds was inside their bodies. It was a tool shaped like a small box, and Ash could sense a great deal of malice emanating from it.
That force completely controlled the thoughts and physical changes of the two divine birds. Ash could even sense that there was another terrifying force within the two divine birds, which was also locked up by the box.
If he wasn't mistaken, then it should be their—clergy!
After landing, Cynthia gave him a brief explanation of the three legendary birds of the Orange Islands. The three legendary birds are divine beings, and they are the leaders of their kind.
In other words, the three divine birds here are not only the strongest beings in their kind, but also possess a unique divine position within the three divine bird clan.
Each leader of the divine bird clan inherits a divine office passed down through generations. The power of the divine office comes in many forms, and the divine offices of the three divine birds are ice, fire, and lightning, respectively.
Although these three divine offices are not rule-based divine offices, they represent the fundamental forces of the entire world. If these three divine offices are not inherited or disappear, the rules of the entire world will fall into chaos.
The loss of fundamental rules will cause the elements of heaven and earth to become extremely disordered, leading to violent weather.
The reason why the weather around Asia Island is always so unpredictable is that the three divine birds sometimes fail to control their divine power, or sometimes use their divine power to fight, which causes the surrounding weather to become very bad.
The purpose of the divine order is not for combat, although it is an extremely terrifying power. Ultimately, that power is used to maintain peace in the world, whether it is controlling the earth, the sea, time, space, life, or death.
These are all natural phenomena between heaven and earth. If the world had no concept of time, space, death, etc., how chaotic would the world become?
The three divine birds also possess divine powers: ice, thunder, and fire, representing the basic weather of nature. If these elements were in disarray, then wind, rain, hail, volcanic eruptions, and so on would become commonplace.
Therefore, while the divine duties of the three divine birds are fundamental, they are also extremely important.
With Moltres and Zapdos captured by Team Galactic, their divine powers seem to have been sealed away. No wonder the weather around Asia Island is so bad, and it seems that bad weather is occurring all over the world, not just Asia Island.
Kona has received reports from the League, but such situations are usually considered coincidental. Who would associate bad weather with the capture of the three legendary birds?
Now the truth is out: the severe weather really was related to the three legendary birds. The enormous power that Ash felt inside two of the legendary birds was divine power. Team Galactic probably couldn't control this power, so they simply sealed it away.
Ash was wondering why these two legendary birds weren't using their divine powers in battle. Although using divine powers would affect the elements of heaven and earth to some extent, they were now in Team Galactic's hands, and the people in Team Galactic wouldn't think about that.
The result is that Team Galactic is completely unusable!
If they could use the power of their divine authority, even if Mewtwo Mega Evolved, it would probably be difficult to deal with these two. At that point, we would have to resort to the ultimate method.
"It will hurt a little, just bear with it." Mewtwo also sensed what was inside the two legendary birds through Ash's perception. She knew they probably couldn't hear her right now, but she still spoke up to warn them before activating her psychic powers.
A power that could make heaven and earth tremble surged from Mewtwo's body and then flowed into the bodies of the two divine birds.
Although Moltres now has the Dark type and is immune to Psychic-type attacks, Mewtwo's Psychic powers are not aimed at Moltres, but at the control device inside Moltres's body.
"Gotcha!" Mewtwo's gaze sharpened, and then it clenched its fist and pulled back sharply, causing two small black boxes to burst out of the two divine birds' bodies!
Moltres and Zapdos let out a mournful cry, their pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, and finally their eyes turned white as they lost consciousness.
At the same time, the abnormal skin color of Zapdos and Moltres began to return to normal. The flames around Moltres began to turn back to orange-red, and Zapdos' orange skin returned to its original golden yellow.
They returned to their normal state as the Three Divine Birds.
Without Ash saying a word, Mewtwo activated its psychic powers and crushed the two little black boxes into powder. Such evil things that control Pokémon cannot be left in the world. Regardless of whether Team Galactic has a backup, the existing ones must be crushed first.
Mewtwo then waved its hand and used its teleportation to move the two legendary birds to its side, before teleporting back to Ash's side in an instant.
Ash quickly went to Moltres and Zapdos, placing his hands on the two legendary birds. The power of Viridian surged forth, and after a moment, Ash breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's alright, they're just a little injured, but otherwise they're fine. Their consciousness has calmed down, and they'll be back to normal as soon as they have some time to heal."
It's fortunate that those two small black boxes didn't cause any irreversible damage to Moltres and the others. As for their current injuries, those were naturally inflicted by Mewtwo.
Even if they recover, the injuries caused by Mewtwo will not disappear!
In order to help them regain their sense of self, Ash and Mewtwo had to resort to a rather crude method to deal with them. Now that the two legendary birds have returned to normal, all they need to do is have Mewtwo take them to where Lorelei and the others are and capture that guy called Pluton. This grand event of capturing the gods can then come to an end.
"Holy Star, you really are more than useless. You relied on yourself and got caught by Kona and that brat, and now you've been assigned two Divine Beasts of the Divine Realm, and you still managed to mess things up like this. When we get back, I'm definitely going to ask Red—I'll ask the Lord to remove you from your position as a cadre."
Just as Ash was about to leave, a cold voice came from the sky. Ash was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically as he looked up at the sky. There he saw a gray-haired Hades riding a dark purple bird as he descended from the sky.
Beside him was a dark red figure, but the figure was completely enveloped in energy, making it impossible to see its appearance. One could only vaguely sense that the figure resembled a large bird.
"Pluto!!" Ash roared at Pluto in the sky, "What did you do to Misty and the others?!"
Pluton should be stopped by Cynthia right now. Just now, when only Starp came out of the submarine, Ash already knew that Pluton and the others had slipped away from the seabed towards the last legendary bird, Articuno.
In order to prevent Articuno from being controlled by Pluton, Cynthia, Lorelei, and the others went to stop them.
Now that Hades is here, doesn't that mean Cynthia and the others—
"Them? Although I want to say that I have eliminated them, those guys will probably be here in a while. They are really persistent pests. Even though I have already failed, they still keep bothering me." Hades curled his lips, showing great disgust and annoyance at the persistent pestering of Cynthia and the others.
Because of Cynthia's pressure, he had to use his ultimate move against Lugia ahead of time. Although this move was powerful, it was limited in both time and power. Therefore, he could only sweep Cynthia away with one blow and quickly subdue Articuno before immediately stopping the output of power.
Then, by controlling Articuno, he could easily shake off Cynthia and the others.
Actually, if given a little time, it wouldn't be impossible to wipe out Cynthia and the others with Articuno. Even though they were just brought under control, Asgard is Asgard, and it is fundamentally different from non-Asgard.
While Cynthia's Garchomp is indeed powerful, it still pales in comparison to a Legendary-level opponent. However, Cynthia has more than just Garchomp. Against Team Galactic, she doesn't need to talk about champion's ethics; she can just swarm in and attack.
With Lorelei added, there are two teams of Champion-level Pokémon, while Hades only has an Articuno with barely god-level power that is being forcibly controlled. If they really fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose.
Hades was only thinking about wiping out Cynthia; it was impossible for him to actually fight her, which is why he rushed back here.
If the three divine birds can be gathered, even if the divine power cannot be used, the strength of the three divine birds will undergo a qualitative change.
At that time, whether it's Ash or Cynthia, they'll all be nothing but trash. What kind of garbage is that Pokémon called Mewtwo? It can be easily swept away!
After taking down Ash and Cynthia, they used the power of the three legendary birds to lure out Lugia, and finally captured Lugia. Then they went back to carry out another plan for Team Galactic.
Everything was so perfect—then Pluto saw Moltres and Zapdos, which had broken free of his control.
Don't be fooled by Pluto's calm expression; only he knows how utterly bewildered he is inside. The hell are Zapdos and Moltres dead?! How long has it been?
When he and Huoxing were assimilated just now, the two divine birds were only at a disadvantage, right? How come they were taken care of in less than five minutes?
Even a god-level being unable to use their full strength shouldn't be killed like a chicken!
However, the fact is that a few minutes passed, and Moltres and Zapdos, which possessed god-level strength, were defeated just like that. It's hard to imagine that this is something a human could do.
Her skill level is terrible. Giving her a god-level spirit is a complete waste. With a skill level like hers, why should she be one of the four officers of the Galactic Team? She should go back to being a lowly soldier for training!
Huoxing, who was scolded by Hades, did not refute, but turned her face to the side. Even she herself felt very ashamed of the result of this battle. After all, if you say you don't have a suitable elf, Hades left her with the two strongest divine-level elves.
You say the opponent is strong? Pluton's side is facing the Sinnoh Champion and the Kanto Elite Four member, while this side is just a rookie trainer who has been around for less than a year.
In this situation, it was Pluto who came back to help her first. No matter how much she hated Pluto, at this moment, Huoxing felt extremely ashamed of herself.
If it weren't for Hades, and it were just her here, this place would have collapsed long ago.
On the other side, Ash breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Cynthia and the others were alright. Then he focused his attention on the Pokémon that looked like Articuno standing on Pluton.
This Pokémon, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be the last of the three legendary birds of the Orange Islands, Articuno.
The situation is now clear: he has been transformed and controlled by Hades using the same methods. While Cynthia and the others are unharmed, Articuno is in trouble.
Articuno in the Galar region has lost its Ice type and has been replaced by the Psychic type. This type is actually more troublesome than the Ice type. The good news is that Articuno in this state cannot use Divine Scripture.
Besides Articuno, there was another Pokémon enveloped in energy behind Pluto. Ash used his Eye of Insight to examine it, but he didn't get any information. All that appeared in his mind was a question mark.
This was the first time Ash had ever seen something like this.
If it's not an elf, then even the most basic information won't be displayed. But if it is an elf, what's with all those question marks?
Ash sensed a familiar power emanating from that dark figure—the power of death!
That's right, the same death power he felt in Lugia was now being felt in that shadowy figure as well, and it was even more intense than the power in Lugia.
"Was that Pokémon created using Yveltal's power? But why can't I see through it—" Ash murmured softly. Just then, Cynthia and the others, riding Garchomp and Togekiss, finally left.
Garchomp carried Cynthia and Serena, while Togekiss carried Lorelei and Misty.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Xiao Zhi quickly focused his attention. Seeing that the girls had no injuries, only looked a little travel-worn, he finally felt relieved.
