HZ023: Difference between revisions

Liko walks up to Moltres and tries to reason with it. She shows the Malevolent Pokémon {{p|Arboliva}}'s Ancient Poké Ball, and Roy shows it the Ancient Poké Ball that contained the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Moltres still rages as Liko questions its anger. Moltres uses Fiery Wrath, so the group retreated behind some nearby rocks. Roy tends to Fuecoco as the Fire Croc Pokémon falls as it loses stamina from Moltres's aura. Cap takes action and uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} on the Malevolent Pokémon. The attack gives Cap [[recoil]] [[damage]], but it also stops Moltres's Fiery Wrath. Liko runs up to Moltres once again. Despite Friede's warning, Liko tells Moltres that she wants to know how it feels. Moltres charges up for Air Slash, prompting Liko to shield Sprigatito with her body. Suddenly, Arboliva comes out of its Poké Ball to protect Liko. Almost immediately after, Liko's pendant starts to glow again with two of Lucius's Pokémon present. Moltres uses Air Slash, which Arboliva tries to block. Friede and Roy begin to think that maybe they can't stop Moltres after all, but Liko remains optimistic. Liko knows now that fighting alone isn't all there is to becoming a Trainer; learning how Pokémon feel and showing compassion for them is her path as a Trainer. With Liko's feelings linking with Arboliva, the Olive Pokémon activates its {{a|Seed Sower}} [[Ability]], creating a {{m|Grassy Terrain}} which awakens Sprigatito's power and heals Roy and Friede's Pokémon.

With that, a powered-up Sprigatito uses Leafage once more, which Moltres still shakes off. Even so, Liko, still determined to get through to Moltres, has Sprigatito keep using Leafage. When Friede gets an idea to not let the Leafage go to waste, he and Roy lend Liko a hand as well, having Charizard and Wattrel whip up a gust of wind to fight back. With nowhere for the wind to go, the leaves of Leafage rise up to Moltres. The Malevolent Pokémon tries to use Air Slash again, but Cap intervenes by using {{m|Double Team}} and having the clones disorient it. With this, Liko has Sprigatito use her strongest Leafage, and Moltres takes the full force of the attack. As the sweet scent scatters throughout the cave, Moltres finally calms down.
