Chapter 254 254: The Sea God Descends

Blood sprayed through the air.

A massive crack tore across Zapdos's abdomen where it had been hit. Blood poured out uncontrollably.

The overwhelming pain caused Zapdos to lose consciousness. Its wings stopped beating—

—and its body fell from the sky.

Whether it would live or die… no one could tell.

"One down… who's next?"

Even after defeating Zapdos, Sam didn't relax. His nerves remained taut.

This was only the beginning.

"It really is… a terrifying power," Lorelei said, her expression strained as she narrowly dodged another freezing beam from Articuno.

Even for her, holding off Articuno alone had already pushed her to the limit.

"Charizard—Flamethrower!"

"Bangila—Hyper Beam!"

Sam's voice rang out as he rushed in to support her.

Seeing him arrive, Lorelei finally let out a breath of relief.

But just as they were about to join forces—

—the frozen sea below suddenly exploded.

A massive vortex formed, spinning violently. A crushing pressure rose from the depths.

The already dark sky grew even heavier.

Then—

BOOM!!!

A towering waterspout erupted from the ocean, stretching from the sea straight into the sky.

From within it, a deep, resonant cry echoed.

Under everyone's gaze, the waterspout trembled—

—and a silver-white figure emerged, wrapped in currents and wind.

Lugia.

A suffocating pressure spread from its body. Nearby wild Pokémon trembled in fear.

Hovering in the air, Lugia quickly took in the battlefield.

Moltres was locked in battle with Deoxys, neither side gaining the upper hand.

Articuno was struggling against Sam and Lorelei's combined attacks.

And Zapdos… lay fallen in the distance, barely alive.

There were many questions—

—but now wasn't the time.

First, the chaos had to end.

Without hesitation, Lugia joined the battle.

Articuno's heart sank.

Facing Sam and Lorelei alone had already been overwhelming—

—and now Lugia had arrived.

Panic crept in.

Then it saw Zapdos—collapsed on the ground, barely breathing.

Clarity returned instantly.

No matter how great the reward… you had to stay alive to enjoy it.

Articuno made its decision.

With a sharp cry, it broke through the encirclement—

—and fled.

Moltres reacted immediately.

If Articuno was retreating, there was no reason to stay.

But this time—

—it wasn't so lucky.

Lugia moved.

In an instant, it blocked Moltres's escape route, its cold gaze locking onto it.

Front—Lugia.

Behind—Deoxys.

And Sam and Lorelei were closing in fast.

Moltres was trapped.

"Is Lugia going to punish Moltres?" Ash asked, confused.

Flora shook her head, gently holding the flute in her hands.

"I don't think so… I think Lugia wants Moltres to save Zapdos."

"The balance of the Orange Islands depends on all three Legendary Birds. If one falls… everything could collapse."

She was right.

Lugia wasn't here to destroy—

—it was here to restore balance.

Under Lugia's overwhelming pressure, Moltres had no choice.

Though it held no fondness for Zapdos, it stepped forward.

Sacred flames rose from its body, surrounding Zapdos.

Sam didn't interfere.

He understood.

Restoring balance mattered more than anything else.

As the flames enveloped Zapdos, something incredible happened.

Its wounds began to heal—

rapidly.

The massive tear across its abdomen closed at a visible rate.

Before long, the external injuries had completely disappeared.

Zapdos slowly rose to its feet.

It glanced once at Sam… and Bangila.

Then—

without a sound—

it turned and left.

The wounds were healed, but the damage ran deeper. The energy it had lost would take years—perhaps decades—to recover.

For a long time to come…

Zapdos would not appear again.
