Chapter 160 Firefighting
Chapter 160 Firefighting
Fangzhou immediately called the town mayor to inform him of the fire on the mountain, and the mayor said he would come over right away.
Before the mayor and his men arrived, he had to do something. Ark summoned all the Pokémon in the manor to gather in the open space.
If the fire continues to spread this way, it's very likely that only the manor will remain in the surrounding area.
Fangzhou remembered the feather Psyduck had given him last night, so he immediately ripped it off, hoping Psyduck could come and help him quickly.
The Pokémon from the manor quickly gathered.
Seeing the distant sky tinged red, each Pokémon's eyes were filled with seriousness, understanding that a critical moment had arrived.
Fang Zhou began to give instructions: "Listen up, everyone! There's a fire on the mountain, and it's quickly spreading to the surrounding area. We must stop it immediately! The fire is currently on the west mountain and hasn't spread to the east mountain yet. We absolutely cannot let it continue to spread!"
Fang Zhou had witnessed some firefighting scenes in his previous life and had gained some experience.
"Milkyr and Infernape are the main firefighters, with Miltank using Rollout to help put out the fire."
Miltank's ability is Thick Fat, which makes it more resistant to fire. Infernape is a Fire-type Pokémon, and it also has relatively high resistance to fire.
They were the only ones left on the estate capable of putting out the fire.
"Be careful, your own safety is the most important thing, don't be reckless."
"Whimsic, Swablu, and Dustow, you flying Pokémon form a rescue team. Search everywhere for Pokémon still trapped in the fire and try to rescue them. If you encounter any larger ones, signal me, and Tropius, Kirlia, and I will take charge of the rescue."
"In addition, to prevent the fire from spreading further, we need to clear away all the surrounding plants and create firebreaks! Cocodora, Shell Dragon, and Bee Swarm will be in charge of this. Your main task is to clear away the plants and stay away from the flames. Everyone should prioritize their own safety."
With Ark's command complete, the firefighting team rushed into the fray, with Inferno Monkey and a group of Miltank launching an attack.
Dozens of giant milk tanks simultaneously used their rolling ability, their round bodies crushing the flames and kicking up clouds of smoke, creating a truly spectacular scene.
Many of the Pokémon that were originally fleeing joined the group and began to help put out the fire after seeing Miltank and Infernape charging against the fleeing group.
This is their home, and they will protect it!
Xiao Wu flew through the air; it was a Pokémon skilled at night travel, carefully observing the figures below who needed help with their compound eyes.
Just then, a "diu diu diu du" sound came from the side.
It's the sound of a cricket!
The speaker cricket is trapped and is calling for help.
It immediately flew towards the direction of the sound and saw a Lilligant and a Krillon huddled together, both Pokémon looking at the surrounding flames with fear on their faces.
Fire is extremely damaging to Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon!
Dustmoth frowned. Oh no, it couldn't save two Pokémon at once.
It immediately sent out a distress signal and used its insect chirping skill to extinguish the surrounding flames, preventing the fire from spreading further.
At the same time, Ark received a signal from the Powdermouse and flew towards them on a Tropical Dragon, with Kirlia floating in the air beside him.
After the two Pokémon with psychic abilities placed Krillin and Lilligant on Tropius, they continued on to other places to rescue other creatures.
Ark, riding a tropical dragon, first took the Speaker Cricket and the Lily Root Doll back to his manor.
The poor lily root baby was trembling like a sieve, and the speaker cricket was trying its best to comfort it.
Milk has been prepared at the farm to help calm their frightened state.
Just as I finished calming down the speaker cricket and the lily root doll, a cry for help suddenly came from afar.
Fang Zhou's gaze sharpened; this was coming from the Wind Fairy!
Fangzhou quickly rode the tropical dragon over and saw more than a dozen mushrooms huddled together under the big tree, shivering.
The trees overhead had already begun to burn, crackling under the strain, and seemed poised to snap at any moment, crashing down on them in flames.
The wind sprites finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the ark arrive.
With everyone working together, the Poison Moth, the Swablu, and the Whimsicott each carried a Mushroom, Kirlia held two, and the rest squeezed onto the Tropius. They finally managed to leave before the surrounding area was engulfed by flames.
After bringing the mushrooms back to the manor, Ark saw a blue figure rushing over from outside.
Psyduck has finally arrived.
At the same time, a dragon's roar echoed in the sky, and the town mayor arrived riding a Flying Dragon.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ark. The rescue team will be here soon."
The town mayor looked worriedly at the raging flames burning on the mountain.
Wildfire.
The best way to deal with such a natural disaster is naturally to send down a heavy rain.
but……
"Salamander, try praying for rain!"
A roar was heard from the Flying Dragon, and scattered clouds began to gather in the sky.
However, the speed was too slow and the quantity too small to form rainfall.
Ark looked at Psyduck: "Psyduck, can you help by using the Rain Dance skill? Use rain to put out the fire."
Two champion-level Pokémon working together might work.
Psyduck nodded, indicating that he could give it a try.
With both Pokémon working together, more and more dark clouds finally gathered.
The armored dragon was tending to the plants nearby to prevent the flames from spreading, and seeing this, it began to imitate the dragon and use the Rain Prayer skill as well.
Finally, with the combined efforts of the three Pokémon...
More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky.
Splash!
The long-awaited torrential rain suddenly began to fall.
Raindrops pounded on the flames, creating plumes of white smoke. The fire was finally contained and stopped spreading.
Just then, a green figure broke through the rain and came running.
It's a lichen!
While sleeping at the guild, Mushroom suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. When he opened his eyes, he found that the place where he used to live was on fire.
It rushed over immediately, running at full speed.
Its people are still there.
The closer I got to the Western Hills, the heavier my heart became.
How could the Grass-type people possibly survive such a massive fire?
When it reached the foot of the mountain, it was almost completely desperate.
But just then, they heard a familiar voice.
It suddenly turned its head and saw that the group of mushrooms were actually fine in the manor!
Not a single one is missing!
The mushroom stood frozen in place for a long while before slowly walking over and patting each of its tribesmen on the head.
Finally, it turned around and looked at the ark, which was soaked to the bone and covered in soot, with a complicated expression in its eyes.
It was this human who saved his people.
Ark noticed its inner turmoil and spoke up, "Fish-like creature, you're on an adventure with Whimsicott now, right? Thank you for taking care of Whimsicott all this time."
The straw mushroom nodded, took a deep look at its people, said something, and finally bowed solemnly to the ark before turning and disappearing into the rain.
At the same time, a prompt box appeared in front of the Ark.
[Congratulations on taming the mushroom clan! You have gained the Manor Trait: Lush Vegetation]
[Lush Greenery: Plants in the manor grow at a rate of 10%, and the effect of increasing cultivation and gathering skill proficiency is doubled]
