The identity of being a Pokémon Investigator and a member of the Pokémon G-Men was indeed very useful to Ash. Officer Jenny came here as quickly as possible after Ash hung up the phone and knocked out all the remaining Team Rocket's minions that were not blasted away with Domino.
Ash ignored that Domino managed to get away. The most important thing now is to deal with Zapdos!
After dealing with Team Rocket as quickly as possible, he rushed back to Zapdos without stopping anywhere.
The power in Zapdos's body was very exhausted and it lay on the ground unable to move. After Ash came back to it, he opened his eyes, as if it knew that Ash would be able to help him in some shape or form.
Misty, Brock, Molly and Officer Jenny quickly gathered around them. As Ash came over, they suddenly began to talk to him.
"Ash, Zapdos seems to have been waiting for you to come back!" Misty finally opened her eyes when she saw Ash coming back to them.
Brock had just returned the Crystal to its original location at the bottom of the lake, but the Crystal never lit up again even after he put it back, thus the lake water did not regain its ability to heal Electric-type Pokémon.
Ash frowned after hearing that and pointed to the bottom of the lake, "Pikachu, go down there and blast it with your Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu jumped into the lake as told, and the other Electric-type Pokémon there also gathered around Pikachu. All the Electric-type Pokémon dived into the lake and used their Electric-type skills together!
Until the other Electric-type Pokémon that have already exhausted all their strength, leaving only Pikachu struggling to hold on, the Crystal was finally activated once again.
A faint blue light began to appear in the center of the lake, finally regenerating its healing power, which at least allowed Zapdos to recover somewhat!
Again, if Raikou was here with him, there wouldn't be so much trouble with the energy.
Ash casually used his Psychic to lift Zapdos up and slowly placed it into the blue light in the middle of the lake!
Even if the healing effect is not as good as before, it has restored some of Zapdos' physical strength and energy.
Zapdos in the lake suddenly opened his eyes. As the lightning surged out of him, it suddenly flew out of the lake. The thunder clouds appeared in the sky again, and his usual thunder snakes were raging once again, like the power of a beast coming to the world.
The astonishing thunder struck at the crystal at the bottom of the lake.
This is the power of the Legendary Thunder Bird!
The Mysterious Crystal was finally fully activated once again like before, the entire lake began to emit a faint blue light, and all the Electric-type Pokémon regained their energy!
"Pika!" Pikachu returned to his side like before.
However, although the recovered Zapdos could have flown away, but instead he landed in front of Ash.
"Zapdos, i challenge you to a battle!" Ash held the third Ultra Ball and pointed it towards Zapdos!
As soon as he finished speaking, the thunder clouds rolled up again and the vast amount of electricity roared loudly!
Zapdos has accepted the challenge Ash presented. This has been tacitly understood by the two of them from the beginning that they will have a battle at this time! If Ash wins, Zapdos will come with him.
Pikachu's cheeks are constantly flashing with blue electricity, and his whole body's momentum was also rising in anticipation!
Among the three Legendary Beasts, the first one that Ash captured was the Electric-type Raikou.
Unexpectedly, among the three Legendary Beast, Ash will once again first capture the Electric-type out of the Trio!
This is coincidence and necessity, coming from the arrangement of fate!
"Pikachu, stand by for our grand showdown!"
The moment Pikachu jumped from Ash's shoulder, several thunder sparks suddenly lit him up!
Pikachu and Ash were using their Bond Evoked, now making him have the ability Lightning Rod. Electric-type attacks are not only ineffective, but will further enhance his Pikachus own Special Attack!
Thunder against thunder!
Ash took off his hat and put it on Pikachu's head like always when he was in this form, "Pikachu, use Thunder!"
The first thing that comes up is the ultimate move. Anyway, there is a lake that can heal any Electric-type Pokémon, so they can fight it out as much as they want!
The vigorous electricity was released into the thundercloud, and after the reaction, it condensed into a more terrifying thunder and lightning, which struck Zapdos head-on!
Zapdos did not dodge it, and accepted the lightning attack calmly. Then his wings shook, tearing the surging current into pieces, and then a Thunderbolt hit Pikachu, which did nothing to him.
"Quick Attack!"
Pikachu didn't avoid it, and rushed towards Zapdos with blue sparks wrapped all over his body!
The speed of his Quick Attack coupled with Pikachu's extraordinary jumping ability and his body being powered by electricity at this moment, made it seem like he was teleporting. He rushed straight towards Zapdos without showing any fear.
Zapdos took his time and was surrounded by yellow sparks. He even flapped his wings and rushed over. This is a Flying-type attack, Drill Peck!
The upgraded version of Peck is a very powerful attack!
"Pikachu, keep going and use Iron Tail!"
The golden tail turned into a long sword in the shape of lightning bolt, and struck Zapdos' Drill Peck with his own tail!
Evenly matched, Pikachu was pushed back and flew towards Ash!
Ash stretched out his hand to stop Pikachu who was retreating violently, "Alright then, Thunder! Then Iron Tail!"
"PIKA!"
Facing Zapdos flying in the air, Ash used his powerful physique and Psychic to help Pikachu go up, and with such force, he pushed Pikachu towards Zapdos' direction to heal from the last Drill Peck!
Thunder roared, and the golden and blue currents were pulled down from the thundercloud by Pikachu and wrapped around himself like a armor!
Until he transformed himself into the appearance of the God of Thunder!
The long sword of Iron Tail is wrapped with frightening bluish black electricity. This powerful combination can only be completed with this Bond Evolution, well at least for now!
This is the miracle that belongs to Ash and his partners!
In addition to the sparks, Zapdos has also undergone changes!
That pale light is clearly the surging Flying-type energy. This energy is mixed with his electricity, and he is getting ready to use the Flying-type Ultimate Move, Sky Attack!
BOOM
This was a collision between two extremely powerful users of electricity. Countless thunder lashes were released from their bodies uncontrollably, streaking across the lake to form white air waves, and streaking across the grass leaving streaks of jolts!
The golden and blue sparks was so dazzling that it was hard to open their eyes, but the winner was already decided at this moment!
"Pi!"
Pikachu flew back again, and his hat was also scorched black. Ash took it off and put it back on his head, and Pikachu also returned to his original appearance.
This is already their second Bond Evolution today, and the burden on the two of them is a bit heavy.
Zapdos was seriously injured again and fell into the lake, and then he was healed and floated out of the water!
"Let's go, Ultra Ball!"
Ash took this opportunity to throw an Ultra Ball at Zapdos. Zapdos was taken in, but the red light only turned on and then went out.
"Lets go. I caught a Zapdos!"
"Pikachu!"
Ash took back his Ultra Ball and released Zapdos.
It was only now that she looked around and murmured, "Be really caught it!"
She looked at Ash standing next to Zapdos with a smile, gently stroking Zapdos' feathers, "You are worthy of being a Pokémon Master. Stand proud Ash, you are very strong!"
"Zapdos!" She came forward, wanting to say her final goodbye.
She is responsible for managing this lake and has met Zapdos many times before. Before she came, she asked Ash and his team to keep this a secret, and it was also because of Zapdos.
Zapdos also recognized her and nodded to her.
Ash smiled and said, "Thank you, Krystal!"
