Boom—
However, just as the live broadcast was going smoothly, a fierce chill suddenly made the helicopter wobble, causing the people inside to sway, then look outside with astonishment.
It is uncertain whether the helicopter's erratic flight drew the attention of the battling Three Divine Birds, but in mid-fight, the birds suddenly separated from their clash and turned their heads towards the helicopter, each unleashing a devastating move.
"Chirp————"
Zapdos attacked with a golden Thunderbolt, Articuno shot out an ice-blue Quick Freeze Beam, while Moltres swept up a wave of Flamethrower attack from three different directions. The overpowering Great Moves made the pupils of the TV station staff shrink.
And those watching the live broadcast, both pedestrians and Trainers, also felt their hearts leap.
"Please, my old friends," at this moment, only Dr. Oak remained calm atop the helicopter, as if he had long prepared for danger, silently wishing in his heart.
Don't be fooled by his appearance; in his youth, Dr. Oak was also an extremely powerful Trainer, even becoming a formidable rival and good friend to Elite Four Kikuko. For the purpose of finding Xiaozhi, Dr. Oak had called upon all his old pals from the research institute. Although not as strong as in his prime, he could still be considered a King Level Trainer.
Boom!!!!
A flash of white light.
A giant tsunami arose, forming into a massive Ice Wall, blocking the incoming Flamethrower attack. The suddenly rising and seemingly impermeable ice barrier stood tall as a mountain, constantly melting and reforming as it resisted the Flamethrower, a truly spectacular sight.
The god of fire's Flamethrower attack was successfully neutralized.
Meanwhile, the Quick Freeze Beam encountered a towering geyser, with an endless Water flow from the seabed colliding with it. In an instant, it seemed to create an ice sculpture of Sky Island. The next second, the icy light vanished, the Water flow stopped, and the ice island fell, crashing into the sea and creating a huge whirlpool.
The Ice God's Quick Freeze Beam was also neutralized.
As for the Thunderbolt from the Thunder God, it was directly countered by an enormous Light Wall. Although the Light Wall was covered in cracks while resisting the Thunderbolt, it managed to scatter the electric bolts in every direction.
The extraordinary events outside made the TV station crew inside the helicopter shockingly gasp, with the camera operator almost dropping his live broadcast camera, feeling the thrill of life hanging by a thread. But the most surprised by all this was Dr. Oak.
Just now… it wasn't his old friends who had taken action.
"There seems to be someone outside!" Reporter Miss Ami was scared but, driven by professional instinct, quickly directed the camera operator to cover the story.
Standing on the great wall of ice that blocked the Flamethrower and rose to the same height as the helicopter was a mature woman with red hair, who appeared to be surveying her masterpiece in a daze. Behind her, there were a dozen Ice Elves of various forms.
Above the center of the whirlpool where the ice island had fallen, a Milotic was floating mid-air, singing high. On its back sat a man with green hair, the Gorgeous Master, looking conflicately toward the direction of the Three Divine Birds.
Behind the Light Wall that blocked the Thunderbolt flew a Dragonite, on which rode a Trainer, at this time Fang Yuan only felt that the situation was growing more troublesome.
The King of Ice, Kona?
Mikkeli from the Hoenn region, the Gorgeous Master?
What were those two doing here as well?
However...
Fang Yuan looked back at the wobbling helicopter and thought, so Dr. Oak and the others had come too.
"Auntie Phoenix King... I'm begging you, please come quickly." Fang Yuan was feeling frustrated, the one who should come hadn't, and those who shouldn't had all arrived.
The Three Divine Birds' sudden attack had, albeit with a blurry transmission through the lenses, spread all over the world.
In that moment, countless people stood up, their hearts racing with concern for the TV crew aboard the live broadcast, and particularly worried about Dr. Oak, Professor Ivy, and Mother Zhi, who had personally come to find her child.
However, as the moves of the Three Divine Birds were blocked, and the camera focused on the three Trainers behind them, many people gasped in surprise, their attention riveted.
"Is that... Master Kona, the King of Ice from the Four Heavenly Kings of Quartz??"
"And... isn't that Mr. Mikkeli, the master of the Gorgeous Contest? What's he doing in the Orange Archipelago... and why is he here?"
"The trainer on that Dragonite..."
"Fang Yuan?!" Dr. Omu, Aunt Huazi, Hirona, Satoru, Arashi, Erika, Wu De, Lt. Surge and others who knew Fang Yuan and were following the live broadcast, all showed expressions of astonishment when they saw the figure on Dragonite.
How could Fang Yuan be here?
At this time, only Du was not surprised to see Fang Yuan on the scene, after all, the news came from Fang Yuan himself.
"It seems... there are quite a few Trainers nearby Ice Island. They must have sensed something and rushed over," the reporter quickly realized and hurriedly said, "Most importantly, we are extremely grateful to them for saving us!!"
The TV station staff all felt a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.
"However, the situation doesn't look optimistic," Professor Ivy said, looking out the window.
"Even though they are all outstanding Trainers, they are fighting against the legendary spirits of the Orange Archipelago."
The Three Divine Birds, which had just been squabbling, seemed to be seeing red once again, and resumed their battle, this time fighting while flying, as if trying to clear more and more bothersome flies, constantly moving closer to Kona, Mikkeli, and Fang Yuan.
Kona frowned.
"Milotic, fall back, don't go head-to-head with them," Mikkeli commanded.
"Dragonite, keep evading," Fang Yuan also had no intention of fighting head-on for the time being.
To avoid a direct collision with the Three Divine Birds and to make contact with each other, the three quickly gathered on the land at the edge of Ice Island within moments.
Fang Yuan, on the back of Dragonite, looked at Heavenly King Kona standing there and Mikkeli with his hand on Milotic, and was unsure of what to say.
Mikkeli was the first to speak: "According to the legends of the Orange Archipelago, when the Three Divine Birds go berserk, the Sea God Lugia will appear to quell everything, right?"
Although he came to the Orange Archipelago to find Fang Yuan, at this moment, with a crisis on hand in the Archipelago, Mikkeli temporarily shifted his focus there, and he couldn't help but look towards Kona to ask.
As for why Fang Yuan, who had been missing for a few days, appeared here, Mikkeli planned to inquire about it later.
"Yes, but the method to summon Lugia is only a legend, and it lies in the hands of the Asia Island Tribe," Kona said. "We can't get in touch with them for the time being, so if we want to find a solution, we can only go there in person."
"That won't be necessary..."
Listening to their conversation, Fang Yuan suddenly had a strange expression on his face.
"Uhh..." Both turned their attention to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan said, "The Sea God, Lugia, seems to have appeared!"
Just then... Mewtwo's warning that, deep in the sea, a powerful Pokémon was rapidly approaching!
At the same time, Fang Yuan also sensed that the Rainbow Feather had finally sent back a signal, Ho-Oh... was also approaching!
Lugia and Ho-Oh, are both coming?
This changes everything!
