As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Zhilin's worries were unnecessary, as nothing happened in the second half of the next night.

After catching up on his sleep during the day, he was very energetic on the third night and simply went out for patrol with the cross-bat.

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and Zhilin didn't need a flashlight because of the faint moonlight.

At night, the power plant lies like a sleeping giant, peacefully resting in the darkness. A quiet and mysterious atmosphere permeates the air, with only a few dim lights flickering lonely in the corners, like the giant's faint breaths.

Zhilin and the Crossbat walked slowly forward, and Zhilin's eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

He carefully observed each machine and equipment, checking for any signs of abnormality.

The crossbow bat hovered in the air, its wings gently flapping, making a slight "whooshing" sound. It used its keen hearing and sense of smell to continuously explore the surrounding space.

Time passed quietly during their inspection. Zhilin and Crossbat had already inspected more than half of the power plant.

Just when they thought this night would pass peacefully like the previous two days, the crossbat suddenly pricked up its ears and its wings trembled slightly.

Zhilin immediately noticed the abnormality of the cross-bat. He stopped, held his breath, and looked at the cross-bat to ask what happened.

The cross-shaped bat circled in the air, telling him with its movements that something was wrong, and then flew in one direction, with Zhilin following closely behind it.

As they got closer, a slight "sizzling" sound came into Zhilin's ears, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

Zhilin took a deep breath to calm his excitement. He hadn't caught it yet, so he shouldn't be too happy too soon.

Zhilin and the crossbat exchanged a glance, then quietly approached the source of the sound. Zhilin's footsteps were as light as a cat's, making almost no sound in the darkness.

As they got closer, the "hissing" sound became clearer and clearer.

Finally, they found movement behind a large power transmission equipment.

Zhilin cautiously poked his head out from behind a solar panel and looked towards the corner following the sound.

I saw a Pokémon with a head that was very different from its body and a very small upper body, sneaking next to the power transmission device, holding a broken wire in its claws. Electricity was constantly transmitted into its body, making its body flash with a faint glow.

What is this? Thunderbird Dragon?

The Thunderbird Dragon was using its own electrical storage properties to continuously absorb the power from the transmission equipment into its body. It seemed completely immersed in stealing electricity and did not notice the arrival of Zhilin and the Crossbat.

Zhilin looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect it to be a thunderbird dragon, and it was stealing electricity!

He frowned and thought secretly in his heart.

Thunderbird is a fossil Pokémon that was resurrected by humans with the help of technology, so this kind of Pokémon must have a trainer. That would explain its electricity-stealing behavior; it must have been instructed by someone.

But why steal electricity? As a trainer, you can't afford the electricity bill, right?

Zhilin was puzzled.

The Crossbat stared at the Thunderbird Dragon closely, ready to attack at any time according to Zhilin's order.

Zhilin shook his head at it. Since it was a Pokémon with an owner, he couldn't act rashly and alert the owner.

Crossbat said he understood.

While stealing electricity, the Thunderbird would occasionally vigilantly observe the surrounding situation, its ears erect, listening for any possible movement.

Obviously, once it detects any abnormality, it will stop stealing electricity and prepare to flee the scene.

Zhilin became even more cautious, lowering his head and not daring to breathe.

Suddenly, the cross-bat slapped him with its wings. Zhilin immediately looked up and followed the cross-bat's gaze.

The Thunderbird Dragon seemed to have absorbed enough and was reconnecting the wires, preparing to leave.

Zhilin thought to himself: Sure enough, they all knew to rewire to avoid being discovered. There must be someone who instructed them to do this.

After answering the call, Thunderbird Dragon looked around, then took a step and turned to leave.

Zhilin followed the Thunderbird Dragon quietly, keeping a careful distance.

The Crossbat flew silently through the air, its eyes gleaming sharply in the darkness, constantly watching the Thunderbird Dragon's every move. It and Zhilin had a tacit understanding, understanding each other's intentions without words.

During the tracking process, the Thunderbird suddenly stopped. Zhilin and Xbat also stopped immediately and hid behind the machine.

Zhilin held his breath, staring at the Thunderbird through the gap in the machine, his heart filled with confusion and tension.

The cross-bat also quietly stopped beside Zhilin, its body slightly leaning forward, ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.

They just waited quietly, and the air around them seemed to be frozen.

After a while, the Thunderbird started moving again. It didn't seem to notice anything unusual and continued to walk in one direction.

Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to follow it quietly.

This was obviously a trick he'd learned, a sudden stop to see if anyone was following him. Fortunately, Zhilin's tracking skills were much better than before, and he kept a good distance from them, so he wasn't discovered.

They continued to follow the Thunderbird through one solar panel after another. Thanks to the excellent detection ability of the Crossbat, Zhilin was not worried about losing it.

Gradually they were getting farther and farther away from the power plant. Because they were on the flat grassland and without the cover of the solar panels, Zhilin and the Crossbat once again distanced themselves and followed from a distance in the moonlight.

The Thunderbird Dragon walked along a rugged path, seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, and crossed the stream lightly.

The cross-shaped bat followed suit. Zhilin reached the stream and cautiously stepped into the water. The water was icy cold, and Zhilin's shoes and trouser legs were quickly soaked, but he didn't care and struggled to reach the other side.

After crossing the stream, they came to a hillside. Thunderbird Dragon climbed up the hillside, followed closely by Zhilin and Crossbat.

Finally, the Thunderbird stopped in front of a deserted remote cellar. The entrance to the cellar was hidden in a dense bush, and it would be difficult to find this place if you were not following the Thunderbird.

The Thunderbird Dragon looked around and then slowly walked into the cellar.

Zhilin and Crossbat quietly came to the entrance of the cellar and looked down. They could only vaguely hear the footsteps of the Thunderbird Dragon. It was obvious that there was another world inside, and no one knew where it led to.

Considering the dim light underground and the complicated terrain, Zhilin was worried that he would be discovered if he continued to follow, so he gave up tracking, called out to the cross-bat, and returned to the power plant along the same route.

He thought he should discuss it with Master Qi before deciding on the next plan.
