Chapter 100 Articuno: Don't Come Near Me

"Hmm? What different people?" Miss Joey asked. "Nothing," Ye Feng smiled, intending to continue towards White Snow Mountain. Miss Joey grabbed him. "You really can't go up! Something will happen!!!" Ye Feng flashed her a brilliant smile, "Don't worry, there's nothing in this world that can harm me yet." He gently kissed her forehead and strode away, leaving Joey stunned in place. Ye Feng was fast. He directly reached the higher reaches of the snow mountain. However, after searching for a long time at the higher altitude, he couldn't find the Articuno. This was troublesome. Without finding it, Ye Feng had no good solution. He stood in place, pondering for a while. Suddenly, he thought of a good idea. He released the Red-Striped Pikachu from its Poké Ball. Upon emerging, the Red-Striped Pikachu surveyed the vast snowy mountain. Fortunately, with a base stat total of over thirty thousand, the Red-Striped Pikachu was unfazed by the cold. However, what did Ye Feng want it for? "Pikachu, transform into Moltres and use Flamethrower to burn the snow mountain." This was Ye Feng's plan. The three legendary birds, fire and ice, were incompatible. If Moltres directly set a fire, Articuno would surely come out upon seeing it. After all, it would think, "My good sir, you Moltres are too arrogant! I didn't provoke you!!! How dare you come to my territory and act wild?" The Red-Striped Pikachu did not question Ye Feng's decision much. It transformed, becoming a Moltres. Flames blazed all over its body as it indiscriminately unleashed Flamethrower. Ye Feng's tactic was indeed effective, and Articuno was lured out. A blue bird, pure as ice and snow, slowly descended before Ye Feng and the Red-Striped Pikachu. Upon landing, Articuno flapped its wings, and a terrifying icy wind extinguished the Red-Striped Pikachu's Flamethrower. Legendary Pokémon are legendary not only for their formidable power but also for their divine strength. After dispelling the flames, Articuno fixed its gaze on the Moltres formed by the Red-Striped Pikachu. It spoke impolitely, "What Moltres are you? So disrespectful?!" But upon seeing Ye Feng below, it understood completely. 'So you've been captured by a human, no wonder.' 'Moltres! Tell your human master to get out of here immediately! I'll spare your transgressions!!! Otherwise, don't blame my ruthlessness!!' Ye Feng heard this and burst into laughter, holding his stomach. "Pikachu, revert to your original form." Hearing this, the Red-Striped Pikachu transformed back into the cute yellow mouse. Seeing this, Articuno's pupils narrowed. 'What is this? It can transform?!' But then, it sensed something was amiss. A scorching flame erupted from the Red-Striped Pikachu's mouth and shot towards it. Articuno countered with its own cold breath, unleashing an Ice Beam. However, it was directly engulfed by the flames. If it hadn't dodged quickly, it would have been hit. Articuno sensed the danger of the being before it and tried to escape. But the Red-Striped Pikachu immediately darted forward, blocking its path. Not only that, but Ye Feng then released several more Pokémon. Except for Squirtle, who couldn't fly, Rayquaza and a Shiny Gengar surrounded Articuno. 'You?!' Articuno had never felt such a threat, especially from Rayquaza's aura. It could sense that Rayquaza, like itself, emanated the aura of a legendary Pokémon, and was significantly more powerful. It then asked, 'Why have you allied with humans? Captured by humans?!' But before it could finish, Shiny Gengar struck it with a Shadow Ball, rendering it unable to move and causing it to fall to the ground. 'Too much chatter,' Shiny Gengar chuckled. Articuno, now lying on the icy ground, saw Ye Feng and the Squirtle walking towards it, yet it didn't panic. 'Hmph, I never thought I, a legendary Pokémon, would fall into the hands of a human today.' 'Come, capture me, but I warn you, capturing me won't be that easy.' Articuno said haughtily. "Capture?" Ye Feng held his stomach and laughed heartily. "Who told you I captured you to make you mine?" Articuno was astonished that Ye Feng could understand it. But the next second: 'You're not here to capture me? Then what do you want?' Articuno was confused. Many humans came to this White Snow Mountain, but they generally had two purposes: first, to see it and take pictures. Second, to capture it. That's why, even after being hit by Ye Feng's Pokémon and falling, it wasn't panicked. That was the reason. But, it seemed, it wasn't as it thought? "You are not worthy of being captured by me. I caught you purely to satisfy my appetite." 'Appetite? Wait! You want to eat me?!' Articuno was stunned. Immediately after, it saw the Squirtle pull out a knife and approach it step by step. It didn't look like a joke at all. This time, it was truly panicking. It quickly said, 'Human! You dare to hurt and eat me! I am a legendary Pokémon!!!' Ye Feng scoffed. Seeing this, Articuno added, 'If you eat me, my kin will not let you go! You are inciting war between Pokémon and humans!!!' Ye Feng still scoffed. Articuno felt the sharpness of the knife, and its originally ice-blue eyes turned red. 'Human! If you let me go! I will be your Pokémon! I will obey your every command!!! You cannot kill me! If you kill me, the world will descend into chaos!!!!' "Descend into chaos?" Seeing that Ye Feng's interest was piqued, Articuno seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. It hurriedly said, 'I am a legendary Pokémon! I control the ice and snow weather! If you eat me! This world will face grave problems!!! The weather will become chaotic! The world will face destruction!!!!' Ye Feng feigned extreme fear. "My heavens, you've scared me to death. If I hadn't known, and you hadn't mentioned your kin, I might have believed you." Reminded by Ye Feng, Articuno instantly recalled that it had accidentally revealed too much earlier. "Alright, I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you, a mere Tier 2 legendary." "There isn't just one Articuno in the world, what's wrong with one dying?" "And even if you are a divine-ranking Articuno, so what?" "Alright, kill it, let's eat meat." Squirtle struck with its knife. Shiny Gengar wanted to devour its soul before Squirtle killed Articuno. But it was refused by the Red-Striped Pikachu and Rayquaza. The reason was simple. When they ate Pokémon, they could gain a Pokémon's level, base stats, and abilities. Among these, levels were unnecessary for everyone. The most valuable was base stats. Did you really think that by taking a bite of this Pokémon's flesh, you could gain all its base stats?! Wrong! A Pokémon's base stats are limited. Although Pokémon like the Red-Striped Pikachu couldn't perceive their own base stats, they could sense that eating a whole one and just taking a bite of meat yielded different amounts of power. That is to say, a bite would only grant a small portion of base stats. Eating it all would grant the entirety. And even then, you would have to split a lot with Ye Feng, the capitalist. Of course, the Red-Striped Pikachu and the others didn't know this. They only knew that the more they ate, the more power they gained. And once Shiny Gengar devoured Articuno's soul, if they ate Articuno's body, they would gain nothing...
