The Special Status of Legendary Pokémon (Mythical)
Seeing that Blaziken had absorbed most of the fire energy from the lava pile here, and noticing the Charizard leader casting a hostile glance again, Bruce smiled mischievously.
Blaziken's physical prowess is truly terrifying, effortlessly absorbing most of the energy...
The benefits gained are also obvious. Standing in front of Blaziken feels like facing a volcano on the verge of eruption. Its whole body emanates a strong, growing aura, creating an intense sense of oppression.
This is the most intuitive manifestation of extreme fire energy accumulation. Although Blaziken stood silently, it still instilled fear in everyone around.
However, Blaziken was not satisfied with this.
According to the teachings of Master Sugar Ray, a Pokémon can truly conceal its breath within its body; when it is still, it feels like a bubbling stream—tolerant and calm, but when it moves, it is like a raging wave.
Blaziken used to be able to do this, but now it cannot.
The fire energy within its body is too overwhelming and vast, making it difficult to suppress for the time being, and it can only let it radiate outward.
"Brother Liam, what are you going to do next?"
Seeing that no one was challenging for a while, Bruce looked at Liam and asked.
Liam smiled slightly and said loudly, "Since Arcanine has found the opportunity to break through, I'll seek a major advancement while looking for lava piles."
Bruce nodded, then said, "Let's head to Kīlauea Town. After a short rest there, we'll go to Kīlauea Volcano (Suryani)."
Liam replied, "It seems we are on the right track."
"Okay." Bruce nodded slightly, then communicated to Liam the true identity of Jirachi through telepathy.
Liam's pupils suddenly narrowed as he looked at Jirachi without leaving a trace, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Is that so..." Liam nodded excitedly and then said, "Then I wish you all the best, Tailwind."
After that, Bruce and his companions bid farewell to Liam and left the Charizard Valley.
There were too many people here, and the purpose of this trip had been accomplished, so there was no need to linger any longer.
On the contrary, the Charizard leader watched Bruce's figure retreat, its eyes flickering slightly, unsure of what it was thinking.
Since the fire energy in Blaziken's body had reached saturation, there was no need to continue searching for the lava pile, and everyone headed directly to the small town of Kīlauea.
This place is not too far from Kīlauea, and everyone walked at a good pace, successfully reaching the small town just as the sun began to set.
Looking at the small town of Kīlauea not far away, the glow of the setting sun scattered, enveloping it in a bright golden halo.
Near the distant horizon, the sun gradually set, and the dark sky stretched in all directions.
"The town of Kīlauea is not very large, with only about a thousand residents."
"It is located at the northernmost part of Ice Island, far from the center, so its development is relatively slow."
Professor Alexander looked at the town before him and said slowly, "But because of this, the pace of life here is very slow. Coupled with the beautiful surroundings, it attracts a large number of tourists every year, making it lively."
However, the once bustling town of Kīlauea now stood empty and silent due to the volcanic eruption.
Afterward, everyone entered the deserted town of Kīlauea, walking down the quiet streets where wild Pokémon appeared.
These Pokémon wandered through the streets and alleys; some were searching for food, while others played with their companions.
Whenever Jirachi saw a Pokémon, it would flutter over to play.
"Among the currently known information, Legendary Pokémon (Mythical) hold a special status among all of them," Professor Alexander said with a smile upon witnessing this.
But the next second, he shook his head again and said, "In reality, the term status is not accurate. One can only say that Legendary Pokémon (Mythical) are beloved by all Pokémon."
Immediately, he looked sideways at Bruce and said something quite interesting: "Two years ago, a poaching team found the Legendary Pokémon (Mythical)—Mew—in a certain forest."
Bruce was slightly surprised.
"This poaching team was well-equipped and powerful, and Mew alone could not resist.
"In this critical situation, all the wild Pokémon in the forest worked together to fight against the poaching team to protect Mewtwo. There was even a legendary-level Pokémon that repelled the poaching team." Professor Alexander sighed deeply.
"When Legendary Pokémon (Mythical) are in trouble, all Pokémon will do their part."
Bruce nodded in agreement; the same was true in the animation.
"It would be wonderful if Jirachi could stay in this world..." Madison gazed at Jirachi, who was playing happily, biting her lip slightly as she said softly.
Bruce patted Madison on the shoulder and smiled, "We cannot change this; all we can do is let Jirachi enjoy this time."
"Yes." Madison lowered her eyes, remained silent for a while, and finally nodded.
Professor Alexander suddenly looked up at the night sky, carefully observing a blurry comet, and abruptly said, "The moment is approaching.
"When the comet disappears, it will fall into a thousand-year slumber again."
After a long time,
Everyone reached the edge of the town and arrived at a wooden house.
"This will be our temporary home for the time being.
"The room is quite simple, but sufficient for one night," Professor Alexander said.
After that, everyone simply washed up and entered their respective rooms.
Inside the room,
Jirachi and Metagross were inseparable, so Jirachi directly lay on Metagross's body and soon fell asleep.
However, Metagross had been unable to fall asleep for a long time. It gazed at the comet in the night sky through the window, and Professor Alexander's words echoed in its mind—when the comet disappears, Jirachi is about to fall asleep.
Scarlet eyes flickered in the dark room, and Metagross slowly closed its eyes.
Blaziken leaned against the windowsill, one foot on the ground, gazing at Metagross for a while, then slightly closed its eyes, focusing on Focus Energy and entering Calm Mind Contest Condition.
Bruce lay on the bed, quietly recalling the date when school was about to begin.
"Today is February 7th, and school starts on February 15th, so there's still a week left.
"After entering the Volcano tomorrow, I can leave Ice Island directly."
"At that point, I'll take Rapidash back to my hometown for a visit; it shouldn't take too long.
"If everything goes smoothly, I can return to Avalon before February 11th.
"Fortunately, it won't delay the start of school."
