He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4325 Precious Zapdos Feather!

Soon, the Galar Zapdos carried Ash and Pikachu as they sped through the mine.

Da da da—!

Each step landed with a heavy thud.

Coupled with the thunderous sound of the sharp feathers constantly rubbing against each other, the entire mine tunnel sounded as frantic as if it were thundering.

Moreover, the terrain inside this mine is quite complex.

Besides the wooden bridge, some places are so narrow that only the width of a mine car track remains, while other places suddenly open up into a large underground level.

There are even two underground floors and three underground floors in the middle.

Furthermore, there are obstacles such as abandoned wooden crates, overturned minecarts, and debris blocking the road that occasionally appear along the way, requiring constant focus to dodge left and right or jump.

Don't say it.

It really feels like the thrill of playing an extreme parkour mobile game!

Zapdos glanced sideways and a sly smile crept across its face.

The three legendary birds of Galar, in essence, all have black hearts when they are removed.

Since you dare to ride it, then hold on tight!

It was already looking forward to seeing Ash and Pikachu looking pale and dizzy after the meeting.

The next second, Galarian Zapdos accelerated again.

Da da da—!

He fully incorporated the power of his thunderous kick into his running motion, and this time his figure transformed into a streak of red lightning!

It's as if the difficulty of this mine parkour game has suddenly increased by three levels!

The surrounding rock walls and luminous crystals all turned into arcs of light that swept backward at great speed.

Sizzle—!

The thunder became even more deafening, and the dust it kicked up almost followed behind, creating a tremendous commotion!

In less than ten minutes, the Galarian Zapdos had explored all the branching paths in the northern mine.

Finally, it satisfiedly stepped on the ground and braked forcefully.

laugh--!!

The bird's claws left two long drift marks beside the old track.

The Galar Zapdos didn't even catch its breath.

Sure enough, there's definitely something strange in this mine!

It had just fought Ash's Pikachu, and now it was running at full speed again, yet it still showed no signs of fatigue.

But that's not the point.

"Raichoo~!"

Galar Zapdos turned its head, unable to suppress a smug, playful expression.

come on.

Let me see the ugly state of this human and electric mouse behind me!

Of course, the result was not as expected.

Ash's expression remained unchanged, with one hand pressing down on the brim of his hat, his hair slightly disheveled by the wind.

Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.

"Pikachu~!"

Pikachu stood steadily on Ash's shoulder, its eyes crinkling with amusement.

It then hopped onto the back of the Galar Zapdos's neck and patted its head.

Good performance, quite exciting!

no way.

I've experienced bigger ones before.

Galarian Zapdos is indeed very fast, but to be honest, it's still quite a bit slower than Rayquaza's high-speed flight, or even Genesect's incredible speed.

However, the thrill of sprinting rapidly through such a confined and narrow mine tunnel is definitely a plus.

"Haha, this feels so exciting!"

Ash landed gracefully, and casually patted one of Zapdos's wings:

"Thank you so much! This is my first time experiencing something like this!"

It's a completely different experience from riding a spirit horse.

Speaking of which, is the feeling of being a tuk-tuk rider, which is quite popular in my hometown, just like what I just described?

Galarian Zapdos: ".?" To Zapdos, this was like seeing a ghost!

It has already used its fastest speed, and even added the power of its signature move.

But nothing happened!

Zapdos quickly turned its head away, coughed lightly, and pretended that the little bit of malice from before had not existed at all.

I have a feeling this electric mouse might just give me a metal tail swipe at any moment.

Ash took out his Rotom phone and glanced at it.

Still no signal.

The map cannot locate the position correctly, and I don't know my exact location.

However, they had been running for a full ten minutes, so they should already be deep inside the mine.

The abandoned railway tracks can still be seen on the ground.

Clearly, the Galilean authorities at the time developed this mine quite thoroughly.

The scenery along the way was similar, with abandoned tracks and rock walls inlaid with glowing crystals on both sides.

As for wild Pokémon, sensing the Galar Zapdos's running momentum, they immediately burrowed underground to hide, and hardly any were seen.

"So, are you really going to stay here and not go out?"

Ash looked at Zapdos and couldn't help but ask.

Galar Zapdos hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Thunderous chirp."

It intends to make this its long-term stronghold.

Anyway, now that humanoid monster has left the Galar region, it can go out for a stroll anytime, and it doesn't matter where it goes.

There is no divine mission in the Galar region that requires the three sacred birds to remain in fixed positions.

Of course, you should stay wherever you're comfortable!

After thinking for a moment, Galarian Zapdos suddenly raised its right wing and flapped it.

Sizzle—!

Another muffled, electric-like sound followed.

Then, a sharp, orange-red feather fell from its wing and drifted toward Ash.

Since Articuno has already given it feathers, it can't be stingy.

It's ready.

This is a very rare and precious Zapdos feather!

Of course, the important thing is that once you accept the gift, you can't keep beating it.

Mewtwo's psychological trauma continues to haunt it!

Pikachu instinctively reached out its paw and caught the feather, then curiously shook it in its hand.

"Pikachu—"

However, it quickly showed a look of disgust and casually tossed the feather aside.

What is that?

It made a crackling sound, but didn't generate any electricity at all?

"Raichou!?"

Galar Zapdos's eyes widened, and its body froze on the spot.

Its precious feathers were carelessly tossed away by an electric mouse.

By a mere electric mouse

Ash noticed Zapdos's expression and quickly tried to smooth things over with an awkward laugh, picking up the feathers from the ground.

"Well, Pikachu is someone else's gift, so even if it's not important, I can't just throw it away."

Galar Zapdos: "!?"

It felt like I'd been stabbed in the chest again.

However, the feathers feel similar to the original Zapdos feathers when held in hand, both being prickly and tingly.

Of course, the original version relied on real electricity, and you could see tiny electric arcs running across the surface of the feathers.

The feather in your hand, through its high-frequency, slight vibrations, gives the feeling of being stimulated by an electric current.

Uh, it does feel a bit useless.

Xiao Zhi quickly coughed, making sure the other person didn't see his expression.

However, this is, after all, a divine token with fighting attributes—

Martial Arts Bear Master and Melo Meta would definitely look down on them.

It could be a good gift for Sirfetch'd, since both Pokémon are birds.

And coincidentally, none of them can fly. (End of Chapter)
