Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Conquering Articuno
"Yes, the next one is Moltres."
With Zapdos and Articuno already captured, the next target is naturally Moltres.
"The Sevii Islands are so big. Do you know where Moltres is?" Sabrina asked.
Gary had mentioned in Professor Oak's Laboratory that he would go to the Seafoam Islands and the Sevii Islands.
Having found Articuno in the Seafoam Islands, Moltres must be in the Sevii Islands.
However, the Sevii Islands are vast, and finding Moltres is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Of course, it's the volcano in the Sevii Islands. Moltres will rest in the volcano when it's tired of flying, and many people have seen Moltres there. We just need to wait for it at a fixed location."
Gary said, "We were lucky to find Articuno this time. This Articuno was just here to recover its strength and will leave once it's recovered."
"So, are we going to the Sevii Islands tomorrow?" Sabrina asked.
"Let's go to Cinnabar Island first. There's a boat there. We can take the boat and enjoy the journey," Gary said.
After deciding on their next itinerary, Gary returned the Ice-type Pokémon to its Poké Ball. Sabrina held Gary's shoulder and used Teleport to return to their campsite.
"Mr. Mime!"
Mr. Mime, who was guarding the tent, was startled when Sabrina and Gary suddenly appeared.
However, seeing that they were safe, Mr. Mime relaxed and went to rest.
Since it was late, they decided not to return to Cinnabar Island immediately and planned to go back the next morning.
Gary got into his sleeping bag, took out the Ultra Ball containing Articuno, and checked Articuno's attributes.
[Pokémon: Articuno (Shiny)]
- Type: Ice, Flying
- Level: 55
- Potential: Quasi-Legendary
- Ability: Snow Cloak (Increases evasion in a hailstorm by hiding in the snow)
- Skills: Gust, Mist, Reflect, Ancient Power, Tailwind, Freeze-Dry, Roost, Ice Beam, Hail, Blizzard
- Intimacy: 100 (maximum value 255)
Gary didn't expect this Articuno to have a hidden ability. The Snow Cloak ability is quite useful.
As long as the rival isn't a Legendary Pokémon, the Snow Cloak ability can still be effective.
Ordinary Pokémon can't compete with Legendary Pokémon for weather changes.
This is the strength of the three Legendary Birds.
In the battle between Zapdos and Articuno, if Articuno could use Hail, the outcome might not have been decided so quickly.
The next morning.
Gary and Sabrina returned to Cinnabar Island, and Gary bought an S.S. Ticket to the Sevii Islands at the pier.
In the afternoon, Gary and Sabrina took a cruise to the Sevii Islands.
The Sevii Islands are not far from Cinnabar Island and are close to the Johto Region.
You can encounter Pokémon unique to the Johto Region in the Sevii Islands, and there are many people from the Johto Region on the cruise.
It takes seven days for the cruise to reach the first island of the Sevii Islands. Gary and Sabrina will spend these seven days on the cruise.
Most of the people on the cruise to the Sevii Islands are traveling or working.
Because the weather is hot, Sabrina is wearing cooler clothes. Her belly-exposing vest and shorts show off her figure, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
"Have you seen enough?" Facing Gary's frequent glances, Sabrina couldn't help but scold him.
"It's not my fault. Who told you to dress so nicely?" Gary said, dissatisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that they were still growing up, Gary would have planned to take things further with Sabrina.
Gary understood the importance of the body.
Before the body is fully developed, it's best not to do things that might affect normal development.
Gary plans to wait until he's 15 before taking things further with Sabrina. For now, he's focused on building their relationship.
Sabrina didn't mind Gary looking at her. She was happy that Gary was focused on her.
At this time, a woman suddenly approached them and asked, "Hello, my name is Tsuneko.
I'm a photographer. Are you interested in being my model?"
Gary and Sabrina were both stunned. They didn't expect someone to directly invite them to be a model.
"Are you really a photographer?" Gary questioned.
For photographers, it's definitely a more fashionable profession, but Gary doesn't have a good impression of photographers because some photographers have a reputation for being untrustworthy.
"Of course, I'm a professional, and I'm a photographer hired by Pokémon Hollywood," Tsuneko introduced herself proudly.
Pokémon Hollywood is, of course, about making movies, and the content of the movies is all about Pokémon.
According to the development in the original work, Sabrina eventually gave up her gym trainer status and became a film and television celebrity, gaining quite a bit of popularity.
It seems that Gary's intervention hasn't affected Sabrina's stardom.
She can be discovered by scouts just by traveling, and the other party is a photographer hired by Pokémon Hollywood, so their status in Pokémon Hollywood is not low.
"Sabrina, what do you think?" Gary asked.
Gary is not a male chauvinist. He doesn't reject Sabrina's desire to live the life she wants, especially since Sabrina herself is not interested in being a trainer and later became a film and television celebrity.
"I can take pictures, but I can't be your professional model. I have to travel with Gary," Sabrina said.
"So, where are you traveling next?" Tsuneko asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Gary asked in confusion. Tsuneko was asking too many questions.
"Please don't get me wrong. I just want to take a set of nice photos for this lady. So I need to know where you're going so that I can contact someone to send the clothes over," Tsuneko explained.
"To the first island of the Sevii Islands," Gary said.
"Oh, that's a coincidence. I also plan to go there. If possible, I hope this lady can give me three days, okay?" Tsuneko asked.
Sabrina hesitated. She and Gary came to the Sevii Islands to capture Moltres, which would delay their plans.
"It doesn't matter. Take the photos. I'm not in a hurry," Gary said.
"Okay then." Seeing that Gary had no objection, Sabrina agreed to Tsuneko's request.
"By the way, I haven't asked your names yet," Tsuneko asked.
"My name is Gary."
"Sabrina." Gary and Sabrina responded.
Tsuneko thought about these two names carefully. They didn't seem to be celebrities. However, looking at their attire, it was clear they were trainers.
"You're trainers, right?" Tsuneko asked.
"Yes," Gary and Sabrina nodded.
"When you take photos, you can let your Pokémon come out to take photos together. Photos of trainers with their Pokémon will be very beautiful," Tsuneko said.
"Aren't you taking photos of Sabrina?" Gary asked in confusion.
"I think you're also very photogenic, Gary. You can take photos together," Tsuneko said.
