Chapter 115: What? Milotic is Mute?
Even if Dragonite ultimately defeated Wattrel, it definitely wouldn't feel good itself.
However, this intense Blizzard didn't just affect Dragonite and Wattrel, the two Pokémon involved, but also Bai Feng and Mismagius, these bystanders (Pokémon).
The rapid drop in temperature caused the Sea Surface to begin freezing over a large area. After this battle ended, would their ship still be able to move?
Because they were delayed by the battle between these two Pokémon, Mismagius was already full of anger. Now with this happening, could it tolerate it? It wasn't a good-tempered fellow.
Mismagius was seen flying out from the ship in a rage.
"Hey~~ Mismagius?" Before Bai Feng could even speak, Mismagius had already flown into the Battlefield.
Its eyes were suddenly seen flashing with intense Purple Light. This was a sign of using Psychic Power. The Blizzard and Gale raging in the air were frozen in place in an Instant?
Bai Feng had always known Mismagius was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be strong to this extent. It was terrifying!
Dragonite and Wattrel, still entangled, were both stunned by the sudden appearance of Mismagius.
But everything wasn't over yet. Mismagius was seen waving its hand and drawing a circle in the air. Countless Flames surged out from the circle. In just a moment, the Snowstorm and Ice all melted, and the terrifying high temperature even caused the Seawater to start steaming.
The move Mismagius used was the Magical Flame it had used on Bai Feng before. Looking at it now, Mismagius had truly held back then. Otherwise, back in the Illusion Space, he and even Bai Ye would have been burned to ashes.
Bai Feng fanned himself with his hand and unbuttoned a Button on his Heavy Coat. It was so hot!
Just then, a small Head poked out from his embrace. It turned out to be Swablu waking up.
"Chirp?" Who are you?
Swablu tilted its Head, its two Beady Eyes filled with confusion. After Bai Feng's treatment, its Injuries had mostly recovered.
"Did you forget being hit by Dragonite's Draco Meteor? I was the one who saved you," Bai Feng said.
"Chirp~ Chirp~" It seems that did happen. Thank you.
Swablu said foolishly.
...
At this moment, Dragonite and Wattrel finally recovered from Mismagius's dominance. The two of them actually teamed up and attacked Mismagius.
One used Thunderbolt, and the other used Hurricane.
Mismagius casually flicked its hand, and a Fire Pillar appeared out of thin air, instantly defeating Wattrel's Thunderbolt. It then pointed a finger, using Psychic Power to freeze Dragonite's Hurricane.
The massive Wind Pillar formed by the Hurricane kept spinning in place, drawing in a large amount of Seawater. As the Purple Light in Mismagius's eyes grew stronger, the Wind Pillar spun faster and faster.
Finally, Mismagius waved its hand again, and the Wind Pillar reversed direction, sweeping towards Dragonite and Wattrel.
Seeing this, the two Pokémon wanted to dodge. Just then, Mismagius's Psychic Power landed on them, and the two Pokémon were instantly frozen in mid-air.
Before long, Dragonite and Wattrel were both swept into the Wind Pillar, becoming like "Clothes" being tossed around dizzyingly in a washing machine.
Mismagius had no intention of stopping. Don't you like playing with Ice? I'll let you have your fill!
Mismagius was seen giving a gentle blow, and a wave of Freezing Air appeared. The Wind Pillar, carrying a large amount of Seawater, was instantly frozen. The Wind Pillar turned into an Ice Pillar, and Dragonite and Wattrel became "Specimens" inside the Ice Pillar.
After doing all this, Mismagius nodded in satisfaction, then leisurely returned to the ship.
Bai Feng said dryly, "You really... really are amazing."
Mismagius said indifferently, "What am I? My Teacher is the truly amazing one..." As it spoke, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Mismagius's face.
It piloted the Ghost Ship, wandering around the Sea, actually just to search for its Teacher. The distance from the last time it met its Teacher... Mismagius fell into thought. That was over a hundred years ago, wasn't it... It didn't know where its Teacher was now.
Back then, Mismagius and its Teacher were merely acquaintances who met by chance. Its Teacher kept it by their side and taught it for two years, then suddenly disappeared.
The World is so big, how could it be easy to find them again?
Hearing Mismagius's words, Bai Feng almost dropped his jaw in shock. Mismagius was already this powerful, and it had a Teacher? Could its Teacher be a Mythical Beast?
Seeing that Mismagius had no intention of continuing, Bai Feng didn't press further and said, "Should we set off now?"
"Mmm~"
Mismagius nodded. With a command, the Ghost Ship set sail again.
After the battle between Dragonite and Wattrel subsided, the Sky returned to a clear blue, and the Sunshine was bright and warm. At this moment, a Flock of Altaria and Swablu flew in from somewhere unknown. They flew slowly Above the Ghost Ship in a neat formation.
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
Just then, the Swablu in Bai Feng's arms suddenly struggled free and flew out. After gesturing to Bai Feng for a while, it flew towards the Flock of Altaria and Swablu.
It seemed those were its family.
Bai Feng waved goodbye to it.
"Goodbye! Be careful next time!"
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
Swablu turned its Head, nodded towards Bai Feng, and then flew into the Bird Flock.
The Ghost Ship quickly sailed forward. Suddenly, the Sea Surface ahead surged. With a splash, a beautiful Creature emerged from the Water Surface.
The Water vapor and Sunshine shimmered together, forming a dazzling rainbow that made the Creature appear even more beautiful.
Milotic!
Bai Feng's eyes widened. So beautiful!
The Milotic was seen raising its Tail, which was wrapped in a Water Flow, and fiercely striking the Ice Pillar that had frozen Dragonite and Wattrel.
With a crash, the Ice Pillar shattered, and Dragonite and Wattrel broke free. They seemed unharmed, but were trembling all over from being frozen for too long.
Being frozen had calmed their Heads. They were no longer fighting at this moment. Like two children who had made a mistake, they lowered their Heads and kept admitting their fault in front of Milotic.
After dealing with the conflict between Dragonite and Wattrel, Milotic looked towards the Ghost Ship. However, the Instant it saw Bai Feng, a hint of surprise appeared in its eyes.
Seeing Milotic swim over, Mismagius showed a wary expression. It was worried that Milotic would stand up for Dragonite and Wattrel.
It could sense that this Milotic was very, very strong, possibly even stronger than itself.
However, Milotic didn't stand up for Dragonite and Wattrel. Instead, it expressed gratitude to Mismagius, thanking Mismagius for settling the dispute between the two Pokémon.
But what surprised Bai Feng even more was that this Milotic's Voice was very unpleasant. It seemed to be... mute?
"Miloo~" Young Man, we meet again.
After Milotic finished thanking Mismagius, it looked at Bai Feng again.
?(.ヘ°) Hearing this, Bai Feng was completely confused. Again? Haven't we never met before?
"Miloo~ Miloo~ Miloo~" It seems you don't remember. Several years ago, you were drifting on the Sea on a Raft with the Gardevoir beside you. We met once.
"You're that Milotic!" Bai Feng suddenly realized upon hearing this, and then couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Wait, your Voice?"
Both Milotic were equally beautiful, but Bai Feng still remembered that his most beautiful impression of a Voice came from that Milotic back then. Even though Primarina's Singing Voice was already very beautiful now, Bai Feng still felt it couldn't compare to that Milotic from back then.
But... this one...
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Milotic smiled wryly, cleared its Voice, and said, "Recently, my Voice has had a bit of a Problem, and my Voice has undergone some Variation."
Bai Feng thought to himself: This isn't just a little, it's too much! Because of this, he almost didn't recognize the "God of Voice" in his heart!
Similarly, he hadn't expected that Milotic had seen him back then and still remembered it today.
Several years had passed, and Bai Feng's appearance had undergone a very obvious Variation. It was impressive that Milotic could remember.
Actually, Bai Feng misunderstood. Milotic recognized him through Bai Ye.
Although Bai Feng's appearance had changed, Bai Ye's Variation wasn't actually very big. Through Bai Ye, combined with the Memory from back then, Milotic remembered Bai Feng.
Hearing Milotic's words, Mismagius's expression changed slightly. If there were no surprises, this Milotic should be the one Bai Feng was looking for! If its Voice was broken, what would happen to Misdreavus?
Just then, Bai Feng also began to ask for confirmation, "Excuse me, do you know Zhi Huo?"
"Zhi Huo?" Milotic was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized. "Oh~ you mean her, yes, I know her. What's wrong?"
"It's good that you know her." Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "It's Sister Zhi Huo who asked me to find you. She said she wanted to invite you over."
"No!" Milotic said, then turned its Head and left.
Huh? Bai Feng was dumbfounded. Such a straightforward refusal? Did the two of them have a grudge? No wonder Sister Zhi Huo didn't come herself and instead asked him to come.
She really knew how to play the long game!
"Quick, follow, follow!" Bai Feng quickly said to Mismagius.
Mismagius sighed and gave the command to its subordinates to follow.
Milotic kept swimming forward. Dragonite and Wattrel silently followed it in the Sky, sometimes glancing fearfully at Mismagius.
Soon, Bai Feng and the others saw an Island. There was a River on the Island that flowed into the Sea. Milotic took Dragonite and Wattrel upstream along the River.
The River channel was very narrow, and the Ghost Ship couldn't enter. Mismagius had no choice but to order its subordinates to stay and watch the ship, while it followed behind, holding the Cover containing Misdreavus. Meanwhile, Bai Feng and Bai Ye rode on Gyarados and followed.
After swimming for an unknown amount of Time, a Deep Pool appeared before Bai Feng and the others. The Pool was surrounded by beautiful Flowers in full bloom, and the surrounding temperature had also risen. It didn't look like a winter scene at all; it was as if it were two different Worlds compared to the outside.
Lush, tall Trees also grew by the side of the Pool. Perched on the Trees were Altaria and Swablu, one after another, exactly the Flock Bai Feng had seen outside earlier.
The Swablu that Bai Feng had saved was naturally among them.
The Altaria and Swablu tilted their necks back and sang happily, creating an atmosphere here like a Paradise.
That Swablu discovered Bai Feng's arrival and happily flew down from the Tree, affectionately rubbing its Head against Bai Feng.
Bai Feng stroked its soft Wings and said, "We meet again! Is this your Home?"
"Chirp~ Chirp~" Yes, yes! Why did you come?
Swablu asked happily.
"I came to find Milotic. I want to ask it for a little help," Bai Feng replied.
"Then hurry and go! Milotic is very nice, and you're a good person, so it will definitely agree!" After saying this, Swablu flew up and tugged at Bai Feng's Hair with its mouth, dragging him towards Milotic.
What a simple little fellow.
At this moment, Milotic was already lying by the side of the Pool, its entire Body submerged in the Water, leaving only its Head resting on the Grassland by the Pool's edge, resting with its eyes closed.
Dragged by Swablu, Bai Feng jumped down from Gyarados with a wry smile.
Milotic has already refused me once!
As Bai Feng walked towards Milotic, he observed the Environment here.
Besides Milotic and the Altaria Flock, many other Pokémon lived here.
Deep within the Forest at the end of the Grassland was a Flock of Sawsbuck and Deerling. They gathered together, observing Bai Feng, this unfamiliar Creature, with curious eyes.
They had never left this Island, so they naturally hadn't seen Humans.
Behind the Pool was a cliff face constantly pouring Water into the Pool. In the Rock Cave behind the Water Screen lived Electric Tern and Wattrel. The Wattrel that fought Dragonite was their Leader.
And in the Pool, besides Milotic, there were about ten Dratini and Dragonair playing in the Water. The Dragonite that fought Wattrel was also among them.
Bai Feng slowly walked up to Milotic and asked, "Can I ask why you won't go?"
Milotic lazily opened one eye. "We have a grudge." After saying this, Milotic closed its eyes again.
Although Bai Feng had already guessed, he still felt surprised. A Pokémon as peaceful as Milotic actually had a grudge against a Human.
Sister Zhi Huo truly had committed grave sins. No wonder she didn't dare to come herself.
"Can I know what grudge you have?" Bai Feng asked again. Only by knowing the cause and effect could he find a Method to resolve the Contradiction.
"No." This time, Milotic didn't even want to open its eyes.
Just then, Mismagius flew over, holding Misdreavus. So Bai Feng asked again, "Then can I know what Problem your Voice has?"
After asking, he told Milotic about Misdreavus's Matter.
"So, if you have a Method, please help Misdreavus."
Milotic was indeed a Pokémon with a gentle Personality. Although it was unwilling to agree to go with Bai Feng to see Sister Zhi Huo, it was very willing to help Misdreavus.
It's just that its Voice didn't allow it.
"I don't know what happened either. One day, my Voice suddenly went mute," Milotic replied. It looked apologetically at Mismagius and Misdreavus. "I'm truly sorry. You came all this way, but I can't be of much help."
If its Voice hadn't had a Problem, Dragonite and Wattrel wouldn't have fought. Under normal circumstances, when nearby Pokémon had conflicts, Milotic would use its Singing Voice to calm them.
Now that Milotic's Voice had a Problem, incidents of nearby Pokémon fighting were becoming more frequent.
Hearing Milotic's words, Mismagius looked at its child with a pained expression, unsure of what to do for a moment.
(End of Chapter)
I want to ask you a question since I have seen a lot of complaints about the Chinese names and I am planning to work on another Pokemon book with a word count of 10m . I would like to know if I should leave the Chinese names or just make my own English names.
