Charizard's meal was miserable.
Don't ask. It was too painful to talk about.
The six Legendary Birds Xu Mu had just caught had beaten Charizard, then given him a thorough thrashing.
The original Legendary Birds weren't so bad. It was mainly the three from the Galar Region.
Those three showed no mercy!
They didn't let their grudges last overnight. Everything Dragonite and Greninja had done to them, they took out on Charizard.
They just went for it.
By the time the six Legendary Birds were done with him, Charizard was bruised, battered, and utterly stunned.
He sat dazed at the table. Whether he had lost his appetite or simply wasn't hungry, he barely touched his food.
Celebi had only recently been born, so while they ate, Xu Mu checked his system status panel.
[Pokémon: Celebi] [Types: Psychic, Grass] [Strength: Early Elite Four] [Ability: Natural Cure (Switching this Pokémon out automatically cures its status conditions.)] [Moves: Perish Song, Leaf Storm, Life Dew, Healing Wish, Leech Seed, Heal Bell, Ancient Power...] [Check-in mission: Celebi is in a special condition. Check-in missions are temporarily unavailable!]
Xu Mu could live with Celebi's check-in missions being unavailable for now.
He didn't have the time to complete too many missions anyway.
The tournament was still underway, so he couldn't travel far.
Besides, Xu Mu had a feeling that once Celebi's mission became available, it might be connected to the mission to gather the protagonists.
It might even take him out of this Post-Pokémon Civilization world and into another plane.
So having Celebi's mission remain unavailable for the time being was probably a good thing.
After glancing at the sleeping little one, Xu Mu had the system update the status panels for the six Legendary Birds.
