Jiang Chen also informed the leader Aggron about capturing Aron.
Since Aron was captured with its consent and not by force, Aggron had no objection to Jiang Chen.
It recognized Jiang Chen as an excellent trainer, and his Pokémon were all very powerful. Perhaps it was a good thing for that child to leave with this person.
Jiang Chen stayed with Aggron's group for a total of four days. After capturing Aron, he stayed for two more days.
These days, Jiang Chen's Pokémon made fast progress. With the pressure of battles, their strength indeed improved quickly.
The battles with Aggron were not in vain.
Putting aside the increase in strength, the improvement in combat experience was actually the most important.
"Aron, say goodbye to your group."
Jiang Chen said to Aron.
"Aron~!"
Aron's face showed a hint of reluctance. It hadn't been born long and had always stayed with its group. Suddenly parting with its friends and companions, it still felt somewhat reluctant.
However, this did not change Aron's desire to leave.
Not everyone was willing to live a plain life within their group forever. This Aron was unwilling to do so.
"Goodbye. If I get the chance in the future, I'll bring Aron back to see you. By then, Aron might have evolved into Lairon or Aggron. Don't fail to recognize it."
Jiang Chen waved his hand, bidding farewell to Aggron and its group.
In fact, Aggron and its group were somewhat reluctant to see Jiang Chen leave. With Jiang Chen here, they didn't have to worry about food at all.
"Let's go, we're going somewhere else."
"Are we still looking for other powerful Pokémon to be sparring partners?" Ling Wanqiu asked, her eyes inquisitive.
"Not anymore. It's been half a month since we came to Cloud Ridge Mountain Range. It's time for us to leave."
Jiang Chen did not have them use Teleport to leave the area. Instead, they walked out of the Cloud Ridge Mountain Range.
Leaving the Cloud Ridge Mountain Range, they arrived at Black River City, the closest city to the Cloud Ridge Mountain Range.
"Are we here because you want to capture a Ghost-type Pokémon?"
Upon entering the city, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue shivered.
Black River City was also particularly famous. If one were to ask what Black River City's specialty was, it would be Ghost-type Pokémon.
People here generally preferred Ghost-type Pokémon. Ghost-type Pokémon were frequently encountered here, but not many tourists came to Black River City.
Not everyone liked Ghost-type Pokémon; most people kept their distance from them.
"No, I have Dragapult. I don't plan to capture any Ghost-type Pokémon right now."
Dragapult was also a Ghost-type Pokémon. A ghost dragon, often called a mini-Giratina.
"We only came to Black River City to experience it. If you're scared, we'll leave immediately."
Because Black River City had many Ghost-type Pokémon and a rather famous reputation, and since it wasn't far from the Cloud Ridge Mountain Range, it was a good idea to come and experience it.
He came here purely to broaden his horizons.
"I'm not that scared. I'm not that timid."
Xiao Luoxue acted as if she wasn't afraid of Ghost-type Pokémon.
She looked up at the sky. The sky was overcast. It looked like it was going to rain, and a heavy downpour at that.
Coupled with Black River City's unique eerie atmosphere, if Jiang Chen weren't with them, Xiao Luoxue would never have dared to step into Black River City.
With Jiang Chen here, she felt bolder.
Hearing Xiao Luoxue say she wasn't that timid, Jiang Chen looked at Ling Wanqiu.
"If she's not afraid, of course I'm not afraid. But I keep feeling like something is watching us. Is it my imagination?"
Ling Wanqiu looked back. Her keen senses felt something watching her.
"I have that feeling too."
Xiao Luoxue also felt a chill down her spine.
"You're right, there are indeed a few Pokémon following us," Jiang Chen nodded.
Following them were a few Gastly and Haunter. Jiang Chen had noticed them long ago, but since they had no intention of attacking, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't bother them.
"Oh, so they're Pokémon."
Xiao Luoxue relaxed. As long as it wasn't anything supernatural, it was fine.
"Let's find a hotel to stay in. It's going to rain."
He glanced at the sky. The weather changed so quickly. It was clear just a moment ago, and now it was suddenly overcast and about to pour.
"Rumble!!!"
Thunder surged in the sky. It was a thunderstorm.
Just as Jiang Chen and his companions were looking for a hotel, suddenly, the Master Ball hanging from his waist vibrated. Then Articuno voluntarily emerged from the Master Ball.
"Squawk~!"
Staring at the sky, Articuno's eyes were sharp, even carrying a hint of ferocity.
"You're saying this thunderstorm was created by Zapdos, your enemy?"
Jiang Chen understood Articuno's meaning.
No wonder this thunderstorm appeared so suddenly. So it was related to Zapdos.
Articuno wanted to seek revenge. It was asking Jiang Chen for permission.
"Go ahead, but be careful not to get hurt." Jiang Chen didn't stop Articuno. If he did, Articuno would surely get angry.
"Be careful. Keep your battle away from this city. Don't affect the city."
When gods fight, mortals suffer. If Articuno and Zapdos fought, who knew what impact it would have on Black River City? If one of their attacks suddenly landed on Black River City, Black River City would be finished. Articuno nodded, then eagerly flew into the sky, disappearing in a blink.
"Keep an eye out. If their attacks fall, block them." Jiang Chen instructed.
Perhaps sensing danger, the Gastly and Haunter who had been following Jiang Chen had no thoughts of mischief and left directly.
"Zapdos, was this thunderstorm caused by Zapdos?"
Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue also understood now.
They had originally thought it was just a heavy rain, a simple change in weather, but they didn't expect it to be caused by a Legendary Pokémon.
"Is this Zapdos the enemy that injured Articuno before?"
"It shouldn't be a mistake. Legendary Pokémon can sense each other's aura. If the opponent wasn't its enemy, Articuno wouldn't be so excited.
A battle between Legendary Pokémon was about to begin. Unfortunately, Jiang Chen couldn't watch this battle, at least not up close.
"By the way, I have to tell Dad about this."
This was no small matter. Who knew what kind of impact a battle between Legendary Pokémon would have.
Even if Jiang Chen possessed it, he couldn't guarantee that no special circumstances would arise.
"Dad, I'm here in Black River City. Articuno and Zapdos are about to fight."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Would I joke about something like this?" Jiang Chen said exasperatedly.
He would definitely not joke about this.
"How did they start fighting?"
Legendary Pokémon generally didn't easily start wars, but once they did, it would be earth-shattering.
"You forgot, Articuno's injury back then was caused by Zapdos. This Zapdos is the same Zapdos that injured Articuno. When enemies meet, they're bound to fight." Hearing this, Jiang Yuan slapped his head. He remembered. Jiang Chen had indeed told him.
"Battles between Legendary Pokémon are troublesome."
Jiang Yuan had a headache: "Can you get Articuno to team up and take down that Zapdos first?"
In a battle between Legendary Pokémon, even a Champion had no right to interfere. Only Jiang Chen had the right to interfere, so this matter still needed Jiang Chen to resolve it.
"If I intervene, taking down Zapdos would be a piece of cake. But I plan to let Articuno handle Zapdos itself. I guess Articuno wouldn't want me to interfere."
If it didn't have the ability, Jiang Chen guessed Articuno wouldn't mind external help, but now that it had grown stronger, it was confident it could defeat Zapdos and get its revenge.
So Articuno definitely wanted to deal with Zapdos itself and probably didn't want Jiang Chen to interfere.
"I will try my best to control the impact they cause. Calling to inform you is just to make you prepared, in case of any special circumstances, to handle it."
"Okay, I know what to do. Be careful, don't get hurt."
After Jiang Yuan hung up the phone, he immediately arranged for personnel to be dispatched. As long as any unexpected situation arose, he would try his best to remedy it. He only hoped that nothing unexpected would happen at all.
