Taking out a Master Ball, this Master Ball was also obtained through a login bonus. Jiang Chen now had several Master Balls in his hand.
He first recalled the severely injured Zapdos into the Master Ball. There was no resistance; Zapdos, already unconscious, couldn't resist.
He didn't immediately heal Zapdos's injuries. If Zapdos's injuries recovered, it definitely wouldn't be docile.
The Master Ball was said to be able to capture Pokémon 100% of the time, but the Master Ball couldn't trap Legendary Pokémon.
For example, with Articuno before, even if Jiang Chen didn't release it, it could autonomously emerge from the Master Ball.
"Let's rest in Black River City for a night first."
Jiang Chen and his companions found a hotel in Black River City. Because the residents of Black River City had evacuated, Jiang Chen and his companions experienced free accommodation.
"The hotels in Black River City are really creepy."
Upon entering a Black River City hotel, they felt an eerie sensation. The environment and decor were all very gloomy.
"This is Black River City's unique characteristic."
Jiang Chen had long known that Black River City's hotels were like this. As a city of Ghost-type Pokémon, Black River City's hotels had such a unique feature.
That night, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue both ran to Jiang Chen's room, stating that they wanted to rest in Jiang Chen's room tonight.
They had no choice. The rooms were too spooky, and their courage wasn't great. They simply didn't dare to rest alone.
Of course, besides that, they also had some other ideas. It was just a pity that seeing the other also run to Jiang Chen, they felt a little disappointed.
"Won't Ghost-type Pokémon come to play pranks tonight?" Ling Wanqiu was a little worried.
Ghost-type Pokémon liked to play pranks, often giving people nightmares.
"If today's events hadn't happened, perhaps Ghost-type Pokémon would have come to play pranks. But now, there's absolutely no need to worry."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
The previous battle between Articuno and Zapdos had scared away all the Ghost-type Pokémon in Black River City. They would probably only return in a few days.
After staying in Black River City for a day, Jiang Chen and his companions prepared to leave the next day.
"Where do you plan to capture Zapdos?"
"An uninhabited island overseas."
Hearing Ling Wanqiu's question, Jiang Chen had already decided. Yesterday, Jiang Chen had already figured out where to forcibly capture Zapdos.
Any populated area was definitely out of the question. If any unexpected situation occurred, who knew how many casualties it would cause.
The best option was an uninhabited island overseas.
To travel to an uninhabited island, of course, was convenient. He could go there directly using Teleport.
Using Teleport, he took Jiang Chen and his companions away from Black River City to an uninhabited island, where there were even very few Pokémon.
"Not bad, this place is just right." Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Then he released Zapdos from the Master Ball. At this moment, Zapdos was still unconscious. It had been a whole night, and Zapdos hadn't woken up, which showed how severe its injuries were.
Articuno had almost beaten Zapdos to death.
"First, give Zapdos some treatment." Jiang Chen said.
If it were still a Level 3 Legendary Pokémon from before, he definitely wouldn't be able to heal Zapdos's injuries all at once. But now that he had reached Level 2 Legendary Pokémon, healing Zapdos's injuries was simple.
Zapdos opened its eyes, shook its wings, and flew up. Its injuries had actually recovered.
Then Zapdos saw Articuno, and cold light flashed in its eyes.
"Squawk?!"
After letting out a cry, it directly used Thunderbolt to attack Articuno. However, the Thunderbolt was blocked by Psychic.
Psychic then counter-attacked Zapdos with an Aura Sphere. Zapdos was instantly defeated by the Aura Sphere.
Articuno, standing nearby, shivered. It knew how powerful the current Articuno was.
If it were Zapdos, it would probably also be instantly defeated by an Aura Sphere.
"So powerful?" Ling Wanqiu and her companions stared blankly at the instant defeat of Zapdos.
The previous battle between Articuno and Zapdos, if not earth-shattering, was close. It ended after nearly an hour of fighting.
Now, he acted and instantly defeated Zapdos.
"There's also a gap between Legendary Pokémon. In fact, the Legendary Birds are at the bottom tier among Legendary Pokémon."
The Legendary Birds and Legendary Beasts were all considered bottom-tier among Legendary Pokémon. Not to mention facing Level 1 Legendary Pokémon, even Level 2 Legendary Pokémon would instantly defeat them.
"Give it some treatment."
Articuno, who had just instantly defeated Zapdos, obeyed Jiang Chen's command and healed Zapdos.
After being instantly defeated once, Zapdos was clearly not as impulsive now. Its eyes were wary.
Even its enemy Articuno was ignored. Its threat was the greatest.
"Zapdos, I want to capture you. How about becoming my Pokémon?"
Jiang Chen intended to be polite before resorting to force.
As for instantly defeating Zapdos once, that was because Zapdos attacked first. Otherwise, he wouldn't have counter-attacked and instantly defeated Zapdos.
"Squawk!"
Legendary Pokémon's intelligence even surpassed humans'. Hearing Jiang Chen say he wanted to capture it, the ill-tempered Zapdos immediately erupted in rage.
Zapdos's temper was very volatile. Most Electric-type Pokémon had bad temperaments. Of course, this didn't apply to all of them; for example, Pikachu had a very good temper and was suitable as a cute mascot.
A Thunderbolt charged towards Jiang Chen. That's right. This time, Zapdos's target was Jiang Chen.
"Targeting me with your attack?" Jiang Chen smiled. Although his small frame was vulnerable before a Legendary Pokémon, he had his guardian.
Before the Thunderbolt could even land, Zapdos once again lost its combat capability. This time, it was hit by an Energy Ball and was instantly defeated again.
The attack aimed at Jiang Chen was also blocked.
Articuno watched Zapdos being instantly defeated twice, feeling somewhat gleeful. Regardless of whether its master could capture Zapdos, Zapdos was certainly suffering.
Now, Articuno was eagerly hoping Zapdos would be tougher. It was clear that its master's determination to capture Zapdos was very strong.
Under this abuse, Zapdos might truly submit. Articuno only hoped Zapdos would submit a little later, and suffer a little more.
After healing Zapdos again, Jiang Chen once again asked Zapdos: "Do you want to become my Pokémon?"
Jiang Chen generally respected Pokémon's opinions very much, but now, facing this Zapdos, Jiang Chen wasn't so merciful.
After all, Zapdos and Articuno were enemies. Before Zapdos became his Pokémon, Jiang Chen wouldn't be merciful to Zapdos.
If Zapdos truly submitted later and was captured by Jiang Chen, then Jiang Chen wouldn't mind finding a way to resolve the conflict between Articuno and Zapdos.
Facing Jiang Chen's question, Zapdos's attitude was very firm. It refused again.
This did not surprise Jiang Chen. It would be strange if Zapdos readily agreed. Jiang Chen was already prepared for a long battle.
"Move again."
"Continue to heal Zapdos."
"Use Psychic."
"Heal again."
Jiang Chen began repeatedly torturing Zapdos. He refused to believe that Zapdos wouldn't submit if this continued. He refused to believe how long Zapdos could hold out.
Zapdos, being repeatedly tortured, was very miserable. However, Articuno was very gleeful. Its choice was correct. The current Zapdos was even more miserable than being dead.
"Can this really make Zapdos submit? Even if it does, your relationship with Zapdos won't be good," Ling Wanqiu couldn't help but say.
Xiao Luoxue also agreed with Ling Wanqiu's words.
"It's fine. I have a way later."
Actually, Jiang Chen didn't have much of a way. But what Jiang Chen wanted was Zapdos's temporary submission. As long as he completed the system mission, even if Zapdos really ran away, Jiang Chen wouldn't care.
This guy was actually Jiang Chen's tool Pokémon for completing missions.
Of course, if he could truly completely capture Zapdos, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind. After all, Zapdos, besides being a bit ugly, had no other faults. Its combat power was quite strong.
"I hope Zapdos won't hate you forever because of this." The two of them still looked a little worried.
"As long as I can capture Zapdos, I will definitely find a way to reconcile Articuno and Zapdos."
Anyway, Jiang Chen wouldn't change his plan of forcibly capturing Zapdos. As for how to reconcile Zapdos's relationship after capturing it, he would worry about that later. For now, he'd capture Zapdos first.
