Looking at this bird with a body the size of a basketball, a head the color of flames, a white belly, and wings with yellow feathers, wasn't this Pokémon none other than Fletchinder?
Now it was Fei Xiao's turn to be confused; she naturally realized that the other party seemed to want to protect that woman, and it seemed to have misunderstood her.
Fei Xiao looked at the woman behind Fletchinder; although her face was full of worry, she did not seem surprised by the appearance of the 'beast.'
It was clear that she knew of Fletchinder's existence and was not afraid of it.
"Ah! Don't, Little Fire, don't do anything rash! I just accidentally bumped into her," the woman said, hurriedly getting up, seemingly worried that it would spray fire at her again, while also being surprised by the beauty's agility.
"Fletchinder."
Hearing the woman's words, Fletchinder glared at Fei Xiao and then flew into the air.
It looked fierce, but it listened well to the woman; it seemed they had a very good relationship.
Fei Xiao evaluated, pinching her chin; after all, people nowadays were generally afraid of so-called beasts, and for this girl to be so familiar with a Fletchinder was truly remarkable.
The woman walked forward and apologized solemnly, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now and didn't pay attention, and the same goes for Little Fire; it didn't mean any harm."
"It's okay. By the way, do you know this Fletchinder?" Fei Xiao didn't mind the other party's rashness, but instead asked with great interest about Fletchinder.
"Fletchinder? Do you mean Little Fire?" the girl said, looking up at Little Fire flying in the sky.
"That's right. My name is Fei Xiao. If you mind, you don't have to force yourself." As she said this, Fei Xiao revealed a kind smile.
"Oh, hello, my name is Meng Xi. Little Fire is my good friend; it often comes to find me." Meng Xi replied without thinking much.
Suddenly remembering her purpose, Meng Xi prepared to leave.
Seeing the worry on her face, Fei Xiao, out of kindness, asked why she was in such a hurry.
"My friend left the city this morning, but a few minutes ago she suddenly called me for help. I was worried, so I..." Meng Xi thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Is that so? How about I help you look for her?" As a model citizen in her past life, since she had encountered this, she might as well help.
"Ah, but..."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself. Let's go."
Seeing the other party hesitate, Fei Xiao patted her shoulder to reassure her.
Thinking of Fei Xiao's reaction earlier, Meng Xi ultimately did not refuse.
So the two left the city together, but where to look became a problem.
Fei Xiao asked the system in her mind.
"System, can you find her?"
[Sorry, host, I cannot detect people outside the map.]
Ah, as unreliable as ever!
While Fei Xiao was at a loss.
Meng Xi directly said to Little Fire in the air.
"Little Fire, please help me search from the air."
"Fletchinder."
Fletchinder nodded and then went to search the surroundings.
Seeing this, Fei Xiao quietly asked the invisible Meloetta to try searching, while she herself decided not to go too far; it wouldn't be good to leave Meng Xi alone here.
But this was still too slow. Fei Xiao asked Meng Xi if the other party had left any message.
Meng Xi shook her head and replied, "No. Halfway through her call for help, there was a loud noise, and then the call was cut off. I tried to call the police, but it felt like the city's support wouldn't arrive in time, so I rushed over myself."
Clearly, there was almost no information.
But Fei Xiao seemed to remember something.
A loud noise...
Could it be?
Fei Xiao recalled that not long ago, there seemed to have been an explosion at the foot of the mountain nearby.
In the end, she decided to go take a look; it would be bad if she really was there.
"Let's go look over there." Fei Xiao pointed in the direction based on her Remembrance.
"Ah?! Okay, Little Fire, let's go." Although Meng Xi was puzzled about why they were going there, it was better than searching aimlessly without a direction.
As they approached the mountain, Fei Xiao clearly sensed a powerful Pokémon nearby; it seemed she would have to get involved in this mess.
Along the way, there were many fallen trees, and the two soon ran to the foot of the mountain.
It was a mess here; everywhere were huge boulders and many fallen trees, as if a natural disaster had occurred, with nothing left intact.
Meng Xi looked at all this, a bit worried that her best friend might have really met with danger here, but not knowing the outcome, she forced herself to calm down.
"Um... she doesn't seem to be here, let's..."
"Is that little girl over there your friend?"
Fei Xiao interrupted directly, because she had already noticed a girl hiding under a fallen tree not far away.
Meng Xi looked in the direction Fei Xiao indicated and quickly recognized who the figure was.
"Siyu! Are you okay!" As she spoke, she went over to check on her condition.
The girl looked toward the direction of the voice, her heart filled with joy.
"Little Meng! Is it really you? That's great!" Saying this, she prepared to run to her best friend for a big hug.
And then, as expected, something unexpected was about to happen.
A terrifying, massive body appeared above the girl's head, and powerful energy was gathering in its mouth.
The three of them could all feel a terrifying sense of oppression.
The girl's face was filled with fear; she could even feel death about to descend upon her, and she hurriedly warned, "Run!"
Just as Fei Xiao was about to take action.
A flame swooped down from the sky and Tackled that figure; it was Fletchinder, who interrupted the attack with a Flame Charge.
Taking advantage of this, the two successfully met.
"Are you okay?" Meng Xi asked about her condition first.
"I'm fine, let's leave here quickly," the girl hurriedly reminded.
Meng Xi nodded and was just about to call for Little Fire, but her face instantly turned terrified because that beast had already risen.
This Pokémon, which had three heads, three pairs of wings on its back, and was blue in color, was recognized by Fei Xiao at a glance as the ferocious Pokémon, Hydreigon. She ran quickly toward the two.
Hydreigon gathered energy in its mouths again, and flames erupted from them, shooting toward the two.
"Fletchinder!"
In this critical moment, Fletchinder used its body to block this terrifying attack, falling heavily in front of the two and losing the ability to battle.
"Little Fire!" Seeing it block the fatal blow for her, Meng Xi was terrified.
"Little Meng, take Little Fire and leave first," the girl said, holding Fletchinder, her expression solemn as she looked at her best friend.
Realizing the situation, Meng Xi took Little Fire; noticing Fei Xiao approaching, she worried about dragging her down, so the two quickly fled in another direction.
But Hydreigon seemed to have been thoroughly enraged; its entire body was enveloped by a giant dragon, and it charged toward the two in the form of a giant dragon.
The two had almost no way to avoid it, and Fletchinder had already fainted; just as the two were about to accept their fate.
Fei Xiao suddenly accelerated, air currents surging around her, unstoppable, and with one kick from the side, she sent Hydreigon flying into the rock wall.
