I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

"Glaceon, please find the place with the most ice energy," Gary said.

As an Ice-type Pokémon, Glaceon can sense ice energy and find the place with the most ice energy. Basically, all Ice-type Pokémon have this ability.

Articuno is resting at the Seafoam Islands. It will definitely not stay outside but will stay in the cave because the ice energy in the cave is the most abundant.

If Articuno wants to recover quickly, it will stay in the cave, where the ice energy is the most abundant.

"Glaceon!"

Glaceon nodded, and the fur on its head, which was like a cold-proof hat, moved automatically without wind, sensing the ice energy in the surrounding air, and began to lead the way.

The journey was smooth all the way. When they encountered a road that was blocked, they directly destroyed it or teleported to it. 

Gary had prepared Max Repel long ago, and no wild Pokémon dared to approach them.

Soon, under the guidance of Glaceon, Gary and Sabrina came to the bottom of the Seafoam Islands cave. 

Although it was underground, there were still crystals inside. 

The ice on the surrounding stone pillars would reflect the light, so the inside was slightly bright.

As they went deeper, the air around them became colder, and mist came out of their noses from time to time. It was the exhaled carbon dioxide.

"Glaceon!"

Glaceon suddenly quickened its pace.

Gary and Sabrina also chased after it.

They walked through a small path and came to a wide place.

There was a river in front of them.

This was the underground river of the Seafoam Islands.

On the opposite side of the river was a piece of land.

A snow-white Articuno was lying on the open ground to rest.

**[LV55 Articuno/Quasi-Legendary]**

It was really Articuno, and it was a Shiny Articuno. Gary was shocked.

Sabrina had never seen an Articuno before and did not realize that the Articuno on the opposite open ground was a Shiny Articuno.

Articuno's feathers are blue, but the feathers of the Shiny Articuno are gray-blue, especially when it stays in an ice and snow environment, it seems to blend into the environment.

This Articuno is not of high level, and with Gary's current strength, he can completely deal with it.

Today's luck is really good. It only took one day to find Articuno.

Articuno seemed to feel someone approaching it and slowly opened its eyes. 

When it saw that it was a human, Articuno also showed a vigilant look but did not rashly launch an attack. 

The two sides just stared at each other.

"Articuno!" 

Gary was the first to break the calm and said, "I want to capture you and have a fair fight. As long as I win, you will be my Pokémon. If I lose, I will provide you with food to restore energy."

Articuno was quite surprised. 

It didn't expect that the human in front of it actually wanted to have a fair fight with it and was willing to provide it with food if he lost.

"Ah!" Articuno suddenly stood up, spread its plump, majestic feathers, and flew into the sky.

"Gary, Articuno agrees to fight you," Sabrina said.

"Okay!" Gary nodded and threw an Ultra Ball.

"Go ahead, Zapdos!"

Great!

"Zapdos!"

Golden light exploded, and Zapdos appeared.

Articuno: "Ahhh!! (QAQ)!!"

Zapdos: "Ahhh!! (QAQ)!!"

Seeing that the Pokémon released by Gary was Zapdos, Articuno was stunned, and so was Zapdos.

"Zapdos, use Thunderbolt!" Gary didn't give the two birds time to reminisce and issued the order directly.

"Zapdos!"

Zapdos heard Gary's order and immediately shot a Thunderbolt at Articuno.

Articuno also fired an Ice Beam to counterattack without hesitation.

The two skills met in the air, and the terrifying thunder tore the Ice Beam apart and hit Articuno.

Although Zapdos' potential is not as high as Articuno's, its level is much higher than Articuno's. 

In addition, Zapdos is now holding a Magnet, which increases the power of its Electric-type moves by 50%. 

Articuno cannot compete.

"Ah!" Articuno immediately sprayed out Mist and hid its body.

"Go in and use Discharge!" Gary ordered.

Zapdos plunged into the Mist, and a current shot out from the Mist, dispersing the Mist. 

Articuno was also hit by a current.

However, Articuno relied on its high defense and reluctantly sprayed out Ice Beam to counterattack. 

Zapdos immediately used Light Screen, and a golden Light Screen blocked the Ice Beam.

"Thunder!"

Zapdos used Thunder, and the terrifying thunder instantly came in front of Articuno, striking down to the ground, and the ice covering the ground was broken. 

This Thunder caused great damage to Articuno.

"Ah!!" Articuno cried out in pain. 

It was not a rival of Zapdos at all.

Gary did not rush to order Zapdos to continue attacking but asked, "Articuno, do you want to continue fighting? I suggest you give up, I will heal you."

"Zapdos!" 

Zapdos also cried, probably trying to persuade Articuno, after all, Zapdos knew the magic of Gary.

It told Articuno that it is not a loss to follow Gary.

"Ah...!" Articuno thought for a while, nodded slightly, and admitted that it was defeated.

Seeing Articuno give up, Gary let Glaceon freeze the water surface, walked to the other side, treated Articuno's injuries, and fed Articuno the energy cube prepared for Ice-type Pokémon.

Articuno silently endured all this, wondering why Gary did not use the Poké Ball, because it had seen Trainers catching wild Pokémon.

Gary didn't do this because he wanted to leave a good impression on Articuno. He really values the cultivation of feelings.

After Articuno was treated and fed, Gary took out an Ultra Ball and said, "Be my Pokémon, I will help you become stronger, and when I don't want to be a Trainer anymore, I will let you go."

"Ah." Articuno nodded slightly. 

This was an agreement made before the battle. 

As a Legendary Pokémon, it would not break the contract. 

Moreover, it had a good impression of Gary just now, so he should be a good human boy.

"Then come in." Gary took the Ultra Ball and gently pressed the switch side on Articuno.

The Ultra Ball opened, and Articuno was put in. The Ultra Ball stopped shaking after shaking three times in Gary's hand.

[Ding! Mission progress +1, reward is in the space backpack.]

For the mission of catching the three Legendary Birds, each capture of one of the three Legendary Birds will be rewarded with a Gold Bottle Cap.

Gary was also generous and used the Gold Bottle Cap directly on Zapdos, the hero, to raise its potential to a quasi-legendary.

"I didn't expect there was really an Articuno here," Sabrina still felt a little unbelievable at this moment. 

She didn't expect to meet Articuno so smoothly, so she asked, "Then the next Legendary Pokémon is Moltres?"
