Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Defeating Moltres in One Blow

"Impossible! Sister Fei Xiao is so powerful! How could she..."

Jiao Xiaoyan and the others saw everything that happened on the scene through the recorder on Captain Yang's helmet.

"No! I don't believe it!"

Jiao Xiaoyan could not believe what she was seeing, even until the moment she saw Fei Xiao completely engulfed and swallowed by the beam of light.

Her eyes were already red, but she refused to let the tears fall, because she didn't believe that Fei Xiao had lost just like that.

She refused to accept any of this.

"Is... is this the power of the Legendary Pokémon she spoke of?"

"It turns out everything we did at the beginning was wrong, and now we've finally managed to get on the right path..."

Jiao Wuyan and Ye Jinnian's voices were very low at this moment.

Their faces seemed calm, but their tightly furrowed brows betrayed their inner feelings.

Because they, too, did not want to believe that the confident girl's story ended just like that.

...

"Captain Yang, look!"

Zhou Long patted Captain Yang on the shoulder and pointed excitedly at the battlefield.

Captain Yang and the others on the other side stared intently.

...

"Skree?"

Moltres had thought it was all over, but suddenly noticed movement in the crater.

Clatter... The sound of falling rocks.

The next moment, amidst everyone's shocked or puzzled gazes.

A white silhouette slowly pushed away the charred rocks pressing down on her.

Boom! "Cough, cough, cough."

Fei Xiao walked out of the wreckage, step by step, looking relatively relaxed.

Now, that originally fair and radiant figure had become quite disheveled.

There were injuries to varying degrees on all the exposed parts of her skin.

Especially the bloody wound on her left arm; if one looked closely, one might even see a hint of white.

The only thing intact was perhaps her clothes, which, aside from being a bit charred and dusty, were almost completely unaffected.

Fei Xiao was quite satisfied with this; she didn't want to feel a draft while fighting.

At this moment, Captain Yang and the others nearby felt a chill for some reason, but the feeling quickly disappeared.

Returning to the battlefield, Fei Xiao, under Moltres's surprised gaze, stood steadily opposite it once again.

"This is the first time I've been in such a sorry state since coming to this world."

Fei Xiao couldn't help but sigh as she felt the condition of her body. If her physical fitness hadn't been so tough, she really would have been done for this time.

"Sunny Day combined with Solar Beam? Not bad."

Fei Xiao moved her left hand slightly and immediately frowned. "Heh, even for me, it won't be easy to use my left hand for a while!"

Especially the next second, when that familiar feeling of heart palpitations struck Fei Xiao's chest.

She plunged her gunblade into the ground, using her right hand to grip the hilt and support her body. Her originally calm expression became slightly contorted; she gritted her teeth tightly, and sweat began to stream down her clothes.

Moltres watched this strange scene in confusion. What was wrong with this "human" all of a sudden?

Half a minute later, the eerie crimson in Fei Xiao's pupils had vanished. Her originally taut nerves also gradually relaxed significantly.

If one looked closely, the blood that had been flowing from Fei Xiao's left arm had stopped. Fei Xiao slowly released her right hand from the hilt.

"But..." Lowering her head, those cyan pupils examined her right hand. She simply clenched her fist and then released it again.

Fei Xiao felt inexplicably happy, because she could feel it clearly. She then raised her head again to look at the Moltres in front of her.

With that one glance, Moltres realized that the other's aura had changed. That small figure now stood in the center of the battlefield like a god of war.

At this moment, Fei Xiao clenched her fist, and a smile began to appear on her face. "I feel like now... I can be a little bolder!"

The next second. Moltres's pupils widened, and before it could react, it felt a sharp pain in its chest. "Hmph!"

It was Fei Xiao! She had sent it flying with just one punch. After Moltres was knocked back, it took a few seconds for the pain in its abdomen to barely subside.

It looked at Fei Xiao in front of it in surprise. Fei Xiao, however, hovered at the spot where it had just been, without immediately pursuing.

A faint smile appeared on Fei Xiao's dusty face, making her look heroic. "Are your claws and fangs dulled? Let's spar some more!"

These mocking words shocked the onlookers. To provoke the opponent at a time like this, wasn't she looking down on them too much?

As expected, these provocative words successfully enraged Moltres. "Skree!!!"

Moltres spewed Flamethrower, which came sweeping over again. The Fire-type move was even more powerful with the boost from Sunny Day!

"Hmph!" Facing this direct attack, Fei Xiao dodged it with ease.

Moltres also seemed to realize that this move wouldn't hit, so it immediately put some distance between them. "Skree!!!"

Using the same familiar tactic, Moltres used Ancient Power again. Countless boulders rose from the ground as the move was activated.

Without hesitation, it immediately controlled the countless boulders to smash toward Fei Xiao, in order to disrupt the opponent's extreme speed.

Moreover, the opponent could only use one arm now, so it would be difficult for her to even withstand this terrifying offensive. But the final result disappointed it.

Fei Xiao's face remained confident; seeing the countless boulders surrounding her, she immediately clenched her right fist. "No dodging, no regrets!"

The next moment, Fei Xiao charged straight toward her opponent, with absolutely no intention of dodging. Before everyone could even be shocked.

They saw Fei Xiao, with surging hurricanes swirling around her entire body, charging straight at the enemy like a blue meteor.

Any rocks that came near Fei Xiao were all pulverized by the ceaseless vortex.

Finally, facing the boulder that was tens of feet in size, Fei Xiao turned into a blue point of light and drilled into it in one go.

Less than three seconds later, such a massive boulder actually exploded with a roar. Fei Xiao's figure did not stop; her speed did not decrease but increased as she flew rapidly toward Moltres.

However, at this moment, Moltres's Solar Beam had already finished charging. Facing Fei Xiao, who was close at hand, it unleashed this astonishing energy without hesitation.

Just as everyone thought Fei Xiao was about to repeat her mistake, Fei Xiao's figure instantly vanished. The surefire, winning blow that had seemed certain to hit ended up missing.

"Too slow!" The white figure, unsurprisingly, was already facing Moltres directly.

Moltres didn't have time to be surprised; it immediately folded its wings, and a white barrier blocked the space between the two of them again.

"No fear, no dread!" The moment the fist collided with the barrier, powerful energy instantly swept across the entire battlefield.

The helicopter in the sky shook as a result, but fortunately, it was a great distance away. However, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for this great opportunity; it really was just a split second away from hitting.

And Fei Xiao was currently locked in a stalemate with Moltres.

...

Ten seconds later, Moltres could barely keep calm; how could she still be exerting force!

Fei Xiao's fist was accompanied by violent wind pressure, as if a storm was about to tear everything around it into shreds.

As time progressed. Crack! Several crisp sounds stood out amidst the noisy wind.

This time, it was Moltres's turn to be at a disadvantage. "Victory is secured!"

With Fei Xiao's final shout, this earth-shattering punch shattered Moltres's indestructible barrier in one go. Moltres was also blasted away.

And this time, Fei Xiao would not show mercy. Fei Xiao immediately followed the figure flying backward and appeared before it.

Moltres could only watch helplessly as the cyan fist slowly descended.

...

However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The Sunny Day, which had originally been a clear blue sky with the scorching sun high above, was suddenly obscured as if by a giant black hand; dark clouds rolled in, shrouding the sky once again.

The originally bright and vibrant environment was covered by a layer of thick, dark clouds, dimming once again.
