"What are you laughing at, Blaine!"
"I thought of something happy!"
Eddie asked Blaine in a joking tone, and Blaine immediately understood and responded to Eddie with the same playful manner.
"Hahahaha!" both of them laughed together.
Then the two looked at each other and burst into even louder laughter.
Originally, Eddie hadn't wanted to laugh. He had simply looked at Sabrina's adorable contrast and thought it was cute.
However, when Blaine started laughing, he immediately realized that Sabrina's contradictory cuteness was also quite funny, and then he started laughing too.
"!!!"
Sabrina looked at the two laughing men in front of her. Her expression gradually turned cold, and her eyes began to emit a faint purple glow.
She was truly angry now. Her expression before had been forced, but this time she was genuinely furious.
The kind of anger born from embarrassment.
However, she tried her best to control her emotions so that her embarrassment didn't show, revealing only her anger.
And since she naturally possessed a cold temperament, her anger made people feel like they were experiencing "Winter's Wrath."
Not only did it make people feel bone-chillingly cold, but it also made them sense the fury beneath her icy exterior.
So seeing Sabrina like this, Eddie and Blaine stopped laughing.
"Ahem... Blaine, this Moltres recovers very quickly, and our attack just now only seemed to cause minor damage to it. Do you have any countermeasures?" Eddie asked, suddenly realizing he seemed to have angered Sabrina. He immediately turned to Blaine to discuss how to deal with the situation.
After all, while the two of them had been laughing, Moltres had quickly absorbed the intense heat generated by the magma and recovered its injured wings.
Of course, Eddie had already formulated a countermeasure. When facing the legendary Moltres, he would definitely need to use Mewtwo—an artificial Pokémon that nonetheless possessed the power of a legendary beast.
The reason he asked Blaine this question was simply to find out where Mewtwo was located.
"Take my Rapidash and go. I'll command your Garchomp and Mega Charizard X in the meantime," Blaine said.
Blaine was momentarily stunned, but then he immediately understood what Eddie meant. He released a Rapidash and gestured for Eddie to ride it.
"Garchomp, Mega Charizard X, Blaine will be commanding you for now," Eddie instructed.
"Blaine, I'll be back as soon as possible. Just hold on."
Blaine nodded upon hearing this. Eddie jumped off Garchomp, mounted the Rapidash, and galloped away.
Sabrina watched their conversation, remaining in cold silence the entire time. Only when Eddie rode away on Rapidash did a slight fluctuation appear in her eyes, though it was fleeting.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I always get so emotional when I'm around him?"
Almost every time she saw Eddie, Sabrina's emotions fluctuated. Her originally cold and calm heart began to become restless for inexplicable reasons. Sabrina, who always looked cold and indifferent no matter who she faced, displayed all kinds of emotions in her eyes when she looked at Eddie.
Whether it was annoyance or inexplicable joy, these emotions that shouldn't appear on her cold face were constantly active.
These inexplicable feelings always made her emotional, and then her judgment and focus would become distorted.
Sabrina didn't know why this was happening, but regardless, Eddie's presence disturbed her calm state of mind.
"But he's finally left now. I don't know what he's planning to do, but let's eliminate Blaine right now while he's away," she muttered to herself.
"As for his Pokémon, should I..."
"No! What do his Pokémon have to do with me? Burn them all to ashes!"
Sabrina had almost been led astray by thoughts of Eddie. Now that Eddie was gone, she immediately realized she was getting distracted again.
"Moltres! Burn everything in front of you! Use Burn Up!"
Moltres had just finished recovering, and Sabrina leaped onto its back once more, giving it the command to incinerate everything.
Burn Up—a Fire-type move with a power rating of one hundred thirty. The technique involved igniting one's entire body in flames to deal massive damage to the opponent. After using it, the user would temporarily lose the Fire-type attribute.
It was important to note that this wasn't about covering oneself in flames like Flare Blitz, but actually setting one's entire body ablaze. The two expressions might look very similar, but they were completely different in nature.
Fewer than fifteen Pokémon species could learn to use this move. Although it seemed its power rating wasn't as high as Fire-type Z-Moves, judging from the description and side effects of this technique, its power was definitely not as simple as described in the games.
"Wow! This crazy woman started going all-out the moment Eddie left. Is it really necessary to show such blatant favoritism!?" Blaine finally couldn't help himself and voiced his sarcastic thoughts out loud.
"Favoritism? Don't worry! After I burn you to ashes, I'll immediately go over and burn him to ashes as well!" Sabrina replied, laughing coldly. With a wave of her hand, Moltres began to rise into the air and attack Blaine.
Moltres let out a piercing cry, and the flames burning around it surged dramatically. Its body, which was originally composed of flames, expanded twice its size, transforming into a creature made entirely of fire that was over ten meters long.
This was the ultimate technique that released all of one's flames, capable of causing even a Fire-type Pokémon to temporarily lose its flame abilities and Fire-type attribute!
Of course, this statement excluded Fire-type Z-Moves, but the power of this move when used by Moltres wasn't much different from Z-Moves used by the fully-evolved Alolan starter Pokémon.
After all, Moltres was a legendary Pokémon. When it used such a technique, its power was as terrifying as the wrath of a fire deity itself.
"Everyone! Dodge as fast as you possibly can!" Blaine shouted.
Blaine thought it would be strange if Sabrina actually did burn Eddie to ashes, but the situation didn't allow him to continue teasing her.
He had no choice but to issue an urgent command for all three Pokémon to dodge as quickly as possible, and they obeyed, using their maximum speed to evade this terrifying attack.
But how could it be so easy to dodge a move that Moltres was using with its full strength?
The flames roared and the legendary bird sang its cry.
All the flames transformed into a giant bird shape over ten meters long, composed entirely of fire.
As this giant firebird—which seemed to fill nearly all the space in the sky—descended from above, the temperature around it actually seemed to be dropping.
This was because the giant firebird was absorbing all the surrounding heat and transforming it into endless energy that belonged only to itself!
"This move is so terrifying! Aaaahhh!"
Blaine rode on his Charizard and dodged Moltres' frontal attack with tremendous speed.
However, the aftershock of this move was far greater than Blaine had imagined. Even though he was only grazed by the aftermath, after being affected by the extreme temperature, Blaine felt as if he was about to melt.
Fortunately, Charizard seemed to sense Blaine's danger and forced its wings to operate at maximum capacity, escaping from the aftershock at a speed faster than ever before.
Blaine thus narrowly escaped.
At the same time, Eddie, riding on Rapidash, arrived at Blaine's laboratory very quickly. He also witnessed the power that resembled the wrath of a fire deity itself.
