Chapter 54: Lamp Volcano! Flame Bird!
Following
After a night's rest on Red Lotus Island, Shinji was full of energy the next day and retrieved the Poké Ball from Miss Joy's hand and prepared to set off for the Lamp Volcano in search of the Flame Bird.
"Good morning, Shinji." Shaber said as he stood at the door of the Pokémon Center and saw Shinji.
"Xia Bo, why are you here?" Shinji asked, looking at Xia Bo, who suddenly appeared.
"You asked me about the Flame Bird yesterday, and I knew you must be trying to subdue him, so I wanted to go with you and see how you can subdue the legendary Pokémon." Xia Bo said as a matter of course.
"This? All right! Shinji said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I just want to see the demeanor of the fire beast." Xia Bo smiled: "I won't trouble you, besides, there are not many boats going to Lamplight Island, I don't know if there is one today, I have a boat that can take you there." ”
······
Xia Bo said this, Shinji was naturally embarrassed to refuse, not to mention that since Xia Bo had a boat, it saved Shinji a lot of trouble, and after thinking about it, Shinji here had no reason to refuse, and then he and Xia Bo came to the dock and got on Xia Bo's so-called boat, which is actually just a speedboat, but it is enough to send Shinji and Xia Bo to the Island of Lights.
Island of Lights –
After a few hours, Shinji and Shaber arrived at the destination of their trip, the Island of Lights, but as soon as they got to the island, Shinji saw smoke billowing from a high mountain in the distance, presumably this is the Lantern Volcano, the habitat of the Flame Bird, but to reach this volcano, it seems that it will take several hours to walk and climb the Lantern Volcano.
"What are you doing? Don't go yet. "Presumably after docking the ship, he walked up to Shinji and said in a daze as he looked at him.
"Oh!" Shinji came back to his senses and answered.
······
Although the lamp volcano is an active volcano, but the forest under the volcano is very lush, Shinji and Xia Bo came to the foot of the lamp volcano and climbed directly to the top of the mountain, gradually the surrounding grass and trees disappeared, all were bare rocks, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, Shinji and Xia Bo took off their clothes, stuffed them into Shinji's backpack, and continued to move on. Eventually, Shinji and Shabo arrived at the crater, both of them sweating profusely, and looking into the crater, it was full of bare rocks and tumbling lava.
"Looks like it's been for nothing." Shinji said as he looked at the tumbling magma in the crater.
"Hmmm! Looks like you're out of touch with the Flame Bird. Xia Bo also looked at the magma and said.
Just when Shinji and Shaber couldn't find the flame bird and wanted to return, the Poké Ball of the Lightning Bird on Shinji's waist began to shake violently.
"Wow~"
The shaking Poké Ball made a sound, the Poké Ball opened, and a white light shot out of the Poké Ball, the white light dissipated, and a huge yellow figure startled Xia Bo.
"Flash~ Lightning Bird!" Shabber exclaimed loudly as he looked at the lightning bird in the sky.
"Lightning Bird, do you know where the Flame Bird is?" Shinji calmly shouted to the lightning bird.
"Lightning~" The lightning bird nodded and shouted.
"Shinji, I didn't think you already had a lightning bird." Xia Bo looked at the lightning bird and turned his head to Shinji and said, then seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Then I heard that there were frozen birds and lightning birds on the twin islands at the same time before, and those two divine birds should already be yours, right?" ”
"Well, I took the Lightning Bird in Black Cloud City, and then the Frozen Bird on the Twin Islands, and now the Frozen Bird is in my house." Shinji turned back to Xia Bo, who was full of surprise.
"It's amazing!" Xia Bo swallowed and said.
After saying that, Xia Bo continued to stare at the lightning bird hovering in the sky. But the lightning bird, who had thought it would take itself to find the flame bird, had no intention of leaving here, and continued to hover over the crater, constantly chirping at the magma in the volcano, as if calling for something.
"It doesn't seem that the flame bird didn't come, but that the flame bird is hiding in the magma." Xia Bo looked at the lightning bird's actions and said, "Legend has it that the flame bird will use the hot magma to restore its physical strength, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
"Hmm." Shinji responded, but Shinji thought for a moment and asked Xia Bo, "The flame bird is hiding in the magma, can you hear the cry of the lightning bird?" ”
"I think there should be no problem, the legend is that the mythical beasts and the mythical beasts all exist with each other, like the three divine birds should have some kind of connection with each other, and they should also be able to have some kind of resonance." Shaber said.
"Makes sense." Shinji thought about the three true trigod birds in the Orange Islands.
But Shinji felt that his three divine birds were not the real gods of fire, ice, and thunder, so did the resonance between such divine beasts really exist?
Just when Shinji was still wondering, the magma in the lamp volcano began to churn violently, and slowly, the churning magma became bigger and bigger, and finally with a "bang", a giant bird full of flames rushed out of the magma, and its bright red body looked even more beautiful and moving under the scattered magma.
"Flame~"
The flame bird chirped as it hovered over the Lamp Volcano.
"It's appeared, it's a flame bird~" Xia Bo shouted excitedly.
But Shinji on the side didn't look very excited, after all, in Shinji's eyes, the legendary Pokémon is just stronger than ordinary Pokémon, but no matter how strong it is, it is just a Pokémon in Shinji's eyes.
"Flame~" The flame bird stopped on the crater after flying for a while, and shouted at the lightning bird that stayed next to Shinji.
"Lightning~" In the face of the cry of the flame bird, the lightning bird also responded.
At this time, Shinji and Xia Bo didn't know what the lightning bird and the flame bird were talking about, but they only knew that the two divine birds were discussing something with each other.
Shinji looked at the Flame Bird's disdainful expression towards him, and probably guessed that the Flame Bird was asking the Lightning Bird why it was willing to obey a human's orders.
Think about it, too, the flame bird is one of the fire beasts, and the mythical beasts themselves look down on humans, thinking that humans only deserve to have some low-level Pokémon, not worthy of noble beasts, not to mention that the fire Pokémon itself is irritable, and it will not take the initiative to get along with other humans and elves at all, so now the flame bird looks down on Shinji at all.
"Looks like the Flame Bird won't be subdued by you so easily." Shaber said.
Xia Bo also seemed to see what the Flame Bird wanted to say, but Shinji didn't care, because of this, Shinji was more interested in subduing this proud legendary Pokémon, the Flame Bird.
