Chapter 1383 The Treasure Master of the Rock Wall and the Bet
The sounds of fierce battle echoed through the sky once again, but Talonflame was now fighting alone. Facing so many Master-level Pokémon at the same time, its fierce resistance was meaningless!
The flames burned fiercely, like a sea of fire that ignited the entire sky, but were quickly suppressed by the frost.
Actually, Froslass alone could have defeated Talonflame without the help of other Pokémon. It was just that the simultaneous intervention of so many Pokémon hastened Talonflame's defeat.
Just moments later, the flames on the Arrow Eagle's body had dimmed, no longer as fiery as before, and it became listless, though its gaze remained sharp.
"Stop." Xia Yu's voice rang out slowly. Looking at the battered Talonflame, he did not order his Pokémon to continue attacking. Instead, he raised his hand to signal all the Pokémon to stop.
"Flaming Arrow Eagle, stop resisting." Xia Yu's calm voice rang out; he actually quite admired the Flaming Arrow Eagle before him.
Although its strength wasn't particularly great, Xia Yu really liked its inherent toughness. At least in Xia Yu's view, backbone was far more important than strength. Of course, this might also be because Xia Yu already possessed great strength.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt the Hawk, and I won't hurt you either. You don't need to be separated. I will subdue you and take you both away from here," Xia Yu said in a deep voice, looking at the Arrowhawk.
As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, a sharp cry of eagles suddenly erupted from the valley below. Immediately afterward, Xia Yu saw the Fierce Arrow Eagle clan and the Mk Eagle clan flying in from below.
A vast flock of birds blotted out the sky, their calls filling the air.
From elite-level birds like Stark and Little Arrowfinger to dominant-level birds like Starkbird and Rocketfinger, and then to eleventh-level birds like Starkhawk and Arrowfinger, there's something for everyone.
Xia Yu was somewhat surprised to see the flock of birds swarming in; these Pokémon were truly fearless.
The Arrowhawk seemed to have also discovered its own kind and was launching an attack on Xia Yu. This suicidal attack made its expression increasingly grim.
Because in the face of absolute power, no matter how many people there are, it is useless. Even if the entire clan is sacrificed, it is difficult to pose any threat to Xia Yu!
The Snow Fairy only needs to make a slight move to annihilate all the races!
"Beep!"
The Arrowhawk used all its strength to unleash a sharp cry towards its kin.
Upon hearing the sound of the Arrowhawk, the flock that had been rushing towards them all stopped abruptly in mid-air, flapping their wings and staring intently at Xia Yu, surrounding him completely.
"Talisman Eagle, you'd better stop them." Xia Yu's calm voice rang out, his gaze sweeping over all the Pokémon around him.
Despite facing such a large flock of Talonflame and Staraptor, Xia Yu remained unfazed. In his eyes, these Pokémon, though courageous, posed no threat to him whatsoever.
"Human, please do not attack my kind. I have warned them not to attack you... Human, we cannot become your Pokémon. Doing so will anger the Rock Wall Lord. We are protecting this sky for it."
Listening to Liejianying's words, Xia Yu suddenly felt an absurd feeling. How could he feel like such a villain?
Xia Yu temporarily suppressed the strange thought in his mind and said softly, "The Rock Wall Treasure Master is the Hairy Cliff Crab, right? My purpose in coming here is to find it."
The Fiery Arrow Eagle looked at Xia Yu with a shocked expression, "You've come to see the Lord of the Rock Wall?"
"Master Pokémon are invincible..." Talonflame said, its sharp eyes sweeping over the Pokémon beside Xia Yu, and slowly continued, "Although you are very strong and your partners are very powerful, the strength of Master Pokémon is beyond your imagination. Even if the Rock Wall Master is the weakest of all Master Pokémon, you would not be its match."
Listening to what the Fierce Arrow Eagle said, Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Xia Yu has a rare advantage: he is cautious and steady. He might have been a bit reckless in the past, but since the Mayer incident, Xia Yu has become known for his steadyness.
No matter what kind of opponent we encounter, we always make plans and preparations in advance, and we never fight a battle we are not prepared for.
From the very beginning, Xia Yu never believed that he could definitely defeat the Pokémon Master.
The strength of the King Pokémon in the Emerald Realm is undeniable, not to mention the even larger Padia Realm before us.
Moreover, the mission description says something like this: "Defeat and gain the approval of the five great Pokémon masters." The last two words, "approval," are worth pondering.
Xia Yu has summarized the systematic patterns through his long-term experience in completing tasks.
Generally, when you encounter a weaker opponent, the mission description simply says to defeat them. But when you encounter a stronger opponent, this lousy system plays word games, writing things like "challenge XX Pokémon and gain recognition," deliberately leading you into battle, but in reality, you're unlikely to win.
Just like the leader of the Nymphaloid Dragon in the Emerald Realm, theoretically Xia Yu can only defeat it when Zekrom grows up.
As for quests that directly ask for the approval of a certain Pokémon, without a doubt, the Pokémon you'll encounter will most likely be pseudo-legendary.
So when Xia Yu first received this mission, he was careful. These Pokémon Masters were definitely not simple. Although the mission said to defeat them and gain their recognition, the important thing was to gain their recognition!
The Talonflame's reaction now further confirms Xia Yu's guess: this Pokémon's starter Pokémon is really not easy to deal with.
Xia Yu's smile gradually faded. After a moment of contemplation, he stared at the Fiery Arrow Eagle before him and said, "I came to the Rock Wall Treasure Master to gain its approval... Fiery Arrow Eagle, how about we make a bet?"
"Take me to the Rock Wall Master. If I gain the Rock Wall Master's approval, you and Staraptor will become my Pokémon."
"If I don't gain the approval of the Rock Wall Treasure Lord, I'll let you leave, how about that?"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he calmly looked at the Fierce Arrow Eagle.
The sharp eyes of the Fiery Arrow Eagle flashed continuously. After a moment of silence, it replied, "I can agree to your promise and tell you the location of the Rock Wall Treasure Master, but I cannot take you to find the Rock Wall Treasure Master!"
“Okay.” Xia Yu nodded in agreement. As long as the Arrow Eagle agreed to the bet, he didn’t care about the details: “Then it’s a deal.”
At this point, Xia Yu took out a bottle of special medicine and tossed it towards the Fiery Arrow Eagle: "This can heal your injuries, and also..."
Xia Yu then took out the Poké Ball he had used to capture Staraptor, and with a gentle press, released Staraptor as well: "Remember our promise. Once I have gained the approval of the Rock Wall Master, I will come back to find you."
