Chapter 76 Articuno, Patron Saint Of Snowy Mountains
Originally, at Mitsumi's age, she was not allowed to own Pokémon.
Alliance's main reason for this rule is that children who are too young will not be able to take good care of Pokémon, but will harm Pokémon and themselves.
But there is no need to worry about Mitsumi. Her current ability is no less than that of a novice Trainer.
Mitsumi had previously agreed with Pikachu No. 2 that she would travel with it when she reaches age.
This is not because Mitsumi is under age, but because Mitsumi's journey only lasts until the end of Xiao Zhi's trip to the Johto Region, and then he will go back to study.
Pikachu Two has been locked up next to Mewtwo. It is eager to take a good look at the world and enjoy true freedom.
Therefore, such an agreement is good for both parties.
But Jigglypuff is different.
Moreover, the cute little Jigglypuff is very compatible with Mitsumi and can become her best playmate.
In addition, Jigglypuff can use the Moon Stone to evolve into Wigglytuff. This is a character that is closer to the word cute than Jigglypuff. It has a very docile and caring personality. In the Kalos Region, it also serves as Nurse Joy's assistant.
It will become Mitsumi’s Trump Card!
No, Mitsumi couldn’t put it down while holding this pink Air Baloon!
With Meganium watching, no one would worry about being put to sleep by her singing.
Therefore, Xiao Zhi and his group have added another companion to their trip!
"Xiao Zhi, look!"
Further up, there is the Pokémon Center, which really surprises everyone.
"I didn't expect there was a Pokémon Center here!"
The sign erected in front of this Pokémon Center reads, "Good news! The world's tallest Pokémon Center is the last chance to restore Pokémon!"
This is rare and worth remembering. Everyone took a group photo at this sign with Pokémon as the background.
This will become a precious memory during their journey.
The appearance of the Pokémon Center was too timely, and the Jigglypuff that had just been conquered also needed to be restored. After all, it was both ice and fire, so there must be damage.
"Xiao Zhi, we must find Articuno! I want to take a photo of Articuno as close as possible to Articuno!" Todd was very determined. He seemed to notice the change in Xiao Zhi and began to ask him for help.
"This is not easy. Brother Xiao Zhi conquered Articuno. You can take as many pictures as you want!" Mitsumi said as if it was a matter of course.
In her mind, brother Xiao Zhi is omnipotent, even the God of Creation can conquer him!
But before that, there is a need to find traces of Articuno.
"Are you all here to see Articuno?" Nurse Joy came out with Jigglypuff and several people's Pokémon.
Along with her is Officer Jenny, who patrols the area frequently.
"Jigglypuff!" Mitsumi hugged Jigglypuff again.
Xiao Zhi let Lapras out and let it play in the snow with Mitsumi Jigglypuff. Children should enjoy their play time.
"Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, has anyone seen Articuno around here?" Todd asked impatiently.
Nurse Joy nodded, "Speaking of Articuno, Snow Mountain, ⑤ Articuno has a deep connection!"
Since they were talking about this matter, the two of them led a group of people to the mountain wall behind the Pokémon Center.
There is actually a small temple dedicated to Articuno here, and the stone carvings of Articuno inside are lifelike.
"Articuno is the patron saint of people who travel in the snowy mountains!" Nurse Joy introduced with a reverent tone.
"According to legend, Articuno not only tells people about its winter visits, but also builds nests on top of mountains covered with snow for thousands of years and flies everywhere!" Officer Jenny added.
The top of this snow-white mountain is also covered with thousands of years of snow, so it may also have the meaning of Articuno!
"Since he is called a patron saint, there should be some real deeds, right?" As a photographer, Todd asked very good questions.
Of course there are such deeds, otherwise there would not be such stone sculptures here.
There is indeed a legend circulating here about rescuing people who were in trouble in the mountains!
While the group was having a combat meeting, the trio of Team Rocket were already climbing the snow mountain!
This steep snow mountain made them suffer a lot.
Especially Meowth, who regards himself as a human being, "It's so cold, meows want to stay in bed when it's cold!"
"Aren't you the one who said you were the one who set the trap before the little devil did?" Jessie was very dissatisfied with Meowth's complaint.
"We can go up the mountain much faster than them from here!" Their plan is very simple. They take a shortcut to get in front of Xiao Zhi and his group, and then set a trap.
As Xiao Zhi became stronger and stronger, the Rockets also began to absorb lessons, think of more and better ways, and accumulate more funds before launching an attack on Xiao Zhi.
However, the funds they finally accumulated were all exhausted because James bought a treasure hunting device in Ecruteak City.
After spending a huge sum of money to buy a treasure hunting device, they only dug up a bunch of broken bottle caps that only James himself regarded as treasures. Meowth and Jessie were very discouraged and naturally did not take any action in Ecruteak City.
Therefore, they can only return to the most primitive but most effective trap digging tactics and prepare to ambush Xiao Zhi and Snatch Pikachu on the snowy mountains.
They witnessed with their own eyes that Xiao Zhi’s Pikachu actually “Transformed”!
However, this is obviously bad planning.
Before they could climb very high, the three of them were harassed by dozens of Spearows. The safety rope came loose and they fell to the bottom of the snow-capped mountain.
Thanks to their good luck, they were able to find a cliff to stay on, and they were finally safe.
However, it's cold here!
"What should I do? My head has frozen and I can't think of anything!" After a while, Jessie was the first to give up.
"Someone, help!" The only way is to shout for help!
"There's no way anyone would be here in a shitty place like this." Just when James was about to give up, it started snowing!
In the blizzard, a blue figure appeared in front of them!
"Pickup!"
The moment Pikachu sounded the alarm, Soaring in the sky began to fall Icirrus.
Xiao Zhi's whole body flashed with blue light, and he took the lead and rushed out with Pikachu.
"Xiao Zhi, wait for us!" Everyone quickly followed!
When they caught up with Xiao Zhi, they found that Xiao Zhi was looking at the three Team Rockets who were frozen into ice sculptures on the ground with a wry smile.
"Quilava, Flamethrower!"
The three members of the Rockets have better physical fitness than Xiao Zhi. They are beaten all the time and nothing happens to them. James is bitten by his Victreebel for three days and two, which is no big deal.
Flamethrower helped them defrost them, and they suddenly came back to life. Then they looked at Xiao Zhi with a look on his face that he had seen a ghost.
"Little ghost head?"
"Team Rocket, did you come down from the snow-capped mountains?"
The trio nodded obediently.
"What brought you here?"
Hearing Xiao Zhi's question, the trio thought about it for a moment, and then exclaimed, "I didn't see it clearly, but the cold wind blew, and then something terrible suddenly flew over!"
When he said this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Team Rocket, thank you for the information!" Xiao Zhi looked at Officer Jenny, "Officer Jenny, the three of them will be left to you. Please treat them to a few good meals!"
