Chapter 142 Lugia's Birth 4
Ash and the others followed behind Pikachu and soon arrived at the ruins related to Moltres.
Hidden in a crevice of a bronze statue in the ruins was a special orange glass orb, with raging flames glowing within it.
As soon as Ash took the orb and put it in his pocket, a ruffled bird covered in lightning flew from the other end of the island.

Zzzzt!
Zapdos flew while releasing lightning bolts at the ground.
The Team Rocket Trio, who were following behind Ash and the others, were about to pop out and deliver their opening lines when they were stunned by Zapdos's lightning.
"Mewtwo, I need your help! Hold off Zapdos!"
Ash released Mewtwo and also equipped it with the Mewtwo super evolution stone he had received as a reward earlier.
Upon seeing Zapdos in the sky, Mewtwo's large eyes showed strong fighting intent, and it immediately launched a Psychic.
After being hit, Zapdos also discovered Ash and the others hiding below.
Its gaze instantly sharpened, and the lightning it released found its target.
Ash took out his key stone and held it in his hand, saying to Mewtwo, "Mewtwo, Mega Evolve!"
Mewtwo hesitated for two seconds, then slowly nodded.
As the light of Mega Evolution shone, Mewtwo Y made a dazzling appearance.
Mewtwo Y specializes in strengthening Psychic abilities, and its original Pressure ability also changed to Insomnia.
As for its strength, Ash hadn't unlocked much of it, only to the Quasi-Legendary tier.
"Pika!"
Pikachu, seeing a Secondary God-tier Zapdos, was also eager to fight and stood next to Mewtwo.
"Okay, Pikachu, you want to fight too, right? Then let's go together! Mewtwo, use Stone Edge! Pika? use Iron Tail with Thunder Armor!"
After this period of training, Pikachu was already able to condense its own lightning into an armor to wear on itself.
Mewtwo raised its hand and condensed a circle of sharp Rocks to attack Zapdos, and after Pikachu levitated, it also launched itself forward, a two-meter-long giant beast slash powerfully striking towards Zapdos's abdomen.
"You guys go to the ice god's island to get the orb, and we'll meet up on the Thunder God's island after we shake off Zapdos's pursuit. Gardevoir, protect them well." Ash said to everyone.
"Ash, be careful!" Serena urged.
Ash looked at Team Rockets hiding behind the Rocks, "Team Rockets, you three follow them too, otherwise you'll have to wait on this island for a long time!"
With these three true protagonists, Serena and their personal safety would be greatly assured.
After they left, Ash shouted at Zapdos, "Zapdos, Moltres was just captured, it didn't disappear. Why are you so eager to come and seize territory? Aren't you afraid Moltres will come back and settle scores with you?"
"Caw!" (It's gone, this place is ownerless, what's wrong with me coming to claim it!)
Zapdos responded very domineeringly.
Ash was speechless. Among the three Legendary Birds of the Orange Islands, Zapdos and Moltres were foolish birds, and Articuno was a homebody bird. What kind of strange creatures were these? How could Lugia tolerate these three oddballs?
Moltres had only been captured for less than a day, and Zapdos was already coming to seize territory. This was more thuggish than a gang.
However, just as Ash and Zapdos were confronting each other, the electric current released by Zapdos was mysteriously absorbed into the sky.
Immediately after, dark clouds surged, and a huge black shadow slowly descended from the sky.
Zapdos turned its head to look at the culprit who was absorbing its electricity.
"Now absorbing Zapdos's electricity." The AI's alert sounded within the fortress.
"The artificial beauty created from Pokémon's electricity and life force." The fortress owner murmured.
Soon, most of Zapdos's electricity was absorbed, and its stamina was also significantly depleted as a result.
Two square metal frames popped out from the bottom of the fortress and began to capture Zapdos.
Ash, before Zapdos was caught, said, "Mewtwo, Pikachu, let's go up to that fortress!"
"That structure can be easily destroyed, why go to the trouble of going up there?" Mewtwo asked via telepathy.
"That's loot! It's very expensive, how can we just destroy it!"
That's right, Ash had his eyes on this Sky Fortress.
This thing could fly, had powerful functions to capture the three foolish birds, and even came with an AI. If this thing was destroyed, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
"Tch!"
Mewtwo showed extreme disdain, but it did not resist Ash's command, directly using Telekinesis to lift Ash and Pikachu and fly them towards the fortress.
As soon as Ash and his group stepped into the fortress, Zapdos was caught, carried by the two metal frames and flying upwards.
"If we capture Articuno next, the last one will come out on its own!" The former fortress owner was already looking forward to seeing Lugia appear.
"I'm sorry, during the capture of Zapdos, intruders took the opportunity to sneak in."
The AI reminded.
"Intruders?" The former fortress owner was very confused.
On the bottom floor of the fortress, Ash and Pikachu, who had entered, saw Moltres and Zapdos confined in cages.

Ash looked at the two birds in cages and sighed, "What foolish birds, they were caught so easily!"
"You are the first group of people to come here without an invitation. What do you think? The Fire God — Moltres, the Thunder God — Zapdos, they are all my new collections."
An escalator descended rapidly from above, and the former fortress owner appeared before Ash, the new owner.
Ash shook his head and said, "They're not much, but this fortress is mine now. I'm sorry, there's no room for you, old man, on my ship."
"What an arrogant brat. Is your so-called confidence just that strange humanoid Pokémon?"
"My confidence is myself. Mewtwo, use Psychic to control him. I still need his help to take over this fortress."
Upon hearing this, Mewtwo's eyes glowed blue, and the man's body stiffened, then his eyes became vacant.
Ash ordered, "Take us to the fortress's control room and transfer the ownership of the fortress."
"Yes!"
The man yielded his throne, and as soon as Ash sat down, the seat carried them upwards.
Soon after, the fortress's permission transfer was completed. Ash studied it briefly and found that it also supported remote control. After connecting his phone to the fortress's AI, he released the captured Zapdos and Moltres.
Then he set a command for the fortress to fly to Pallet Town, and left the fortress with the former fortress owner.
