Chapter 4321 A Zapdos resembling Galar?!
The noises coming from deep inside the mine continued to grow louder; in addition to the sound of hurried running, there was also a series of crackling explosions.
"Pikachu?"
Pikachu blinked, and what sounded like an electric current was actually happening, but it didn't sense any change in the electrical charge in the air.
It wasn't until the figure rushed right up to him that Ash finally got a clear look at its entirety—
It is a huge bird of prey covered in sharp feathers.
With a thunderous face, a sharp bird beak, and spiky feathers that explode outwards, its ferocious aura is unlike that of an ordinary Pokémon.
"Isn't that Zapdos?!"
Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, then blurted out.
Of course, this Zapdos has orange-red feathers all over its body, making it look a bit like it's been roasted.
Compared to its strong and muscular claws, its body and wings are significantly smaller than those of the Zapdos from its homeland.
Its body was covered with black, spiky feathers, its feet were completely black, and its claws were golden.
Da da da—!
The powerful talons of the bird stomped on the ground, causing the old tracks in the mine to vibrate.
It came rushing in with great momentum, and the surrounding sand and dust were swirling and churning to both sides.
And judging from their posture, it seems like they're coming for them?!
"Pikachu, attack!"
Although he still didn't understand the situation, Ash mustered his spirits and gave a low shout.
"Pickup!"
The Pikachu on the shoulder grinned and immediately transformed into a yellow blur as it darted away.
It spun in mid-air, its tail quickly turning a silvery-black metallic sheen, and slammed it at the oncoming Zapdos as if catching a baseball!
This is the first time it has ever slapped a Zapdos that looks like it's been roasted to a crispy perfection!
However, just as Iron Tail was about to hit, Zapdos slammed its claws into the ground.
Sizzle sizzle—!
A crackling sound of electricity rang out, and its speed increased dramatically!
Its entire figure was like a streak of orange-red lightning, hurtling along the ground, and it instantly darted past Pikachu's side.
Pikachu's Iron Tail swung through the air, spinning once before landing on the ground.
"Pikachu?"
Its little face immediately darkened, not even giving it a chance to slap?
However, this Zapdos's actions were not yet over.
After it darted away from Pikachu, it stepped onto the rock wall on the other side, gripped the rock surface with its claws, and then pushed off with its paws.
Sizzle—!
The orange-red figure turned back again, accompanied by a thunderous roar, and charged back at Pikachu.
"Such agile movements!"
Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
This is a ground-type Zapdos!
In such a closed mine environment, speed is actually more suitable for taking advantage of one's speed.
On its way back, Zapdos raised its right leg, its jet-black leg taut, and kicked straight at Pikachu with its golden claws!
Its momentum is fierce and powerful; it's probably still an unknown move.
However, when it comes to speed, Pikachu has never been afraid of anyone.
It immediately pressed its tail down, bending it into a spring-like arc.
Duang~!
Pikachu used the momentum to propel itself into the air.
Clang!
Zapdos missed its target, kicking a hole in the ground that sent rocks flying and created a violent commotion.
"It's a Fighting-type Zapdos!"
Xiao Zhi made a judgment immediately.
This is most likely a Galarian-style Zapdos!
As for Pikachu, it followed suit and immediately stole the moves of the Galar Zapdos.
Deng!
Stepping on the mine ceiling, it used the momentum to surge downwards! The golden figure pressed down instantly, faster than Zapdos, and in the process, it suddenly spread its limbs.
P.S.: Four limbs + a tail.
His entire body crashed down like a small cannonball!
A flying, heavy pressure!
Boom!
Before it could dodge, Pikachu crashed head-on into Zapdos's back. The heavy impact forced Zapdos's jaw to the ground, creating a loud bang in the mine.
The effect is outstanding!
Ash quickly fanned away the dust in front of him, staring intently at the center of the battlefield.
A Galarian-looking Zapdos.
Come to think of it, he had already met the other two before.
Now we've finally seen the last one!
have to say,
This one seems to be the strangest!
No matter how strange or eerie their appearance may be, Galar Articuno and Moltres are still normal flying forms. People who don't know them might mistake them for shiny versions.
And this Galar Zapdos in front of me—
They've all turned into free-range chickens?!
"Pikachu~"
Amidst the smoke and dust, Pikachu leaped up and landed steadily in front of Ash, a smug smile playing on its lips.
A Fighting-type Zapdos? Take this Fighting move first!
As the dust settled, Galarian Zapdos stood up again, its spiky feathers looking somewhat disheveled, its feet resting on a bed of broken rocks.
One blow wasn't enough to bring it down, but it did cause it considerable suffering.
It hurts!
This unassuming electric mouse, when it runs around, probably tramples and kills countless other mice on the road.
How could you unleash such a powerful attack?!
"Raichoo—!!"
The Galarian Zapdos let out a high-pitched cry, its eyes fierce, and angry veins popped out on its forehead like a Primal Rumble.
It lowered its body, assuming a charging stance.
Crackle!
A series of thunderous sounds echoed through the mine, creating a great sense of oppression.
Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow, noticing something amiss.
It doesn't seem like it's discharging electricity?
Compared to its two other legendary birds of the same period—
Galarian Moltres does not possess any fire-based moves. Instead, it uses malice such as jealousy and resentment to create a burning heart fire that can scorch those who are hurt.
Galar Articuno also doesn't have any true Ice-type moves.
The icy gaze he cast was a form of psychological oppression, unrelated to actual temperature.
So this Galar Zapdos in front of us should be the same; it shouldn't know any Electric-type moves.
Although I could hear a sound like electricity coming from the other person from the beginning.
But so far, he has not seen any actual electric arc.
"I see."
Xiao Zhi squinted and examined it carefully, then sighed in realization.
The sharp feathers on Galarian Zapdos's body are vibrating and rubbing together at an extremely high frequency, simulating the crackling sound of thunder, which is not an actual electrical current at all.
Tap!
The next second, Galarian Zapdos launched another attack!
With each step its feet stomped across the ground, the orange-red figure grew faster and faster, becoming a linear afterimage.
Immediately afterwards, it used its claws to step onto the rock wall, rebounded, and plunged back down from the ceiling.
Rock walls, ceilings, old tracks, even wooden crates and abandoned mining carts.
Everything in the mine seemed to have become its running track!
Crackle!
The thunderous sound of its sharp feathers rubbing together echoed continuously as the Galar Zapdos completely transformed into a streak of red lightning, its true form completely obscured! (End of Chapter)
