Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Pikachu and Piplup immediately shook off all the rainwater as soon as they entered.

These furry elves feel particularly uncomfortable when they get wet in the rain...

After arriving at the cave, the two discovered that they were not the first people to have entered it!

Inside the cave, someone had already lit a campfire and was sitting there quietly eating.

The two looked closely and realized that the person was none other than the one they had encountered during their battle against Emperor Yan.

A green-haired boy named Souji with Lucario?!

When Souji saw the Charmander in Ash's arms, he was startled and then rushed over in a flash.

He unleashed a torrent of angry words at Xiaozhi.

Chengzi quickly explained to Xiaozhi, and only then did Zongji understand.

It turns out that this Charmander wasn't Ash's Pokémon, but rather one that another trainer had abandoned in the rain!

After a flurry of activity, Zongji prepared the medicine to treat the little dragon.

After the little dragon drank the medicine, its condition stabilized.

Inside the cave, only a single flame provided warmth for the three of them.

The three were no longer as tense as they had been in front of Emperor Yan.

After Souji and Seiko introduced themselves and explained their goals,

.. ..... ...

Xiao Zhi also introduced his goals.

"...The world's number one Pokémon Master? What's that? The world's number one trainer?"

"No, no! It's something even more powerful than that!!"

"What?! I can't understand a word of it! Hahahaha!"

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the three,

Suddenly, a noise reached their ears.

Inside the cave entrance, a majestic and imposing four-legged elf slowly walked in.

There were also many different kinds of elves around him!

"Emperor Yan...?"

Ash murmured the name of the lead Pokémon.

Indeed, the visitor is none other than Emperor Yan!

Even Emperor Yan wouldn't want to stay in the harsh weather outside in the face of nature's raging storms!

After entering the cave, Emperor Yan only glanced at the three people before finding a place to rest.

Meanwhile, Munatsugu, whose target was the Elf Professor, was also very knowledgeable about the legends of the Elf world.

He took out something that looked like a tablet computer and then showed Ash pictures of the three legendary beasts.

"Legend has it that Emperor Yan was resurrected by the Phoenix King. Not only Emperor Yan, but all three legendary sacred beasts were resurrected by the Phoenix King!"

"In ancient times, people worshipped the power of the gods and built tall towers to worship them. Ho-Oh has always been worshipped at the Bell Tower. Ho-Oh's duty is to make humans and Pokémon live in peace."

"Later, about three hundred years ago, someone tried to obtain his power. In a fit of anger, Phoenix King burned down the Bell Tower and left humanity."

When Ho-Oh burned down the Bell Tower, three Pokémon were burned to death inside. Ho-Oh then granted them divine powers, enabling them to escape the Bell Tower.

"These three Pokémon are Suicune, Entei, and Raikou!"

"Later, they were sent to the human world by Ho-Oh, and Ho-Oh will return to the human world when they believe that humans and Pokémon can live in peace."

"This is the story of Ho-Oh and the three legendary beasts!"

It's clear that Souji put in a lot of effort into understanding the legends of Ho-Oh and the Three Legendary Beasts!

Otherwise, the story of Ho-Oh could not be told so completely.

……

[Xiaosong: This person knows so much about Ho-Oh's story! Looks like they really admire Ho-Oh!]

Komatsu is the Gym Leader of the Enclave City Gym. Also, the Bell Tower where Ho-Oh used to live is located in Enclave City!

Upon seeing the admirers of the copper mine's Phoenix King, Komatsu couldn't help but speak up.

[Lance: So there's a story between Ho-Oh and the Legendary Beasts... Now that Ash met Ho-Oh and even got its feather, does that mean Ho-Oh is ready to forgive humans?!]

Professor Oak: It's not impossible. Don't forget, this list is titled "Rainbow Hero!" It's very possible that the key to repairing the relationship between Ho-Oh and humans lies with Ash!

[Cynthia: Ash's pure and kind heart has even attracted Ho-Oh? I must say... typical Ash!]

Everyone couldn't help but admire it.

Ho-Oh, which has not appeared before humans for hundreds of years, and has not even been mentioned in any way,

Now they've all been drawn out by Ash!

It's clear that Ash is just such a special person!

……

P.S.: The legend I'm quoting here is a folk tale. In the movie, Ho-Oh only didn't appear for 150 years.

And the one that rang the bell was not Ho-Oh, but a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky.

I think that referencing folk tales is a better way to explain why the Phoenix King rarely appears in front of people.

Chapter 117: The Legend of Marshall, the Phantom Spirit, and the Rainbow Warrior!

In the video—

After Souji finished explaining the story of Ho-Oh to Ash, he swiped the tablet in his hand.

A picture of a large bird in a beautiful pose appeared in front of Xiaozhi.

"This is Ho-Oh! It's a reconstruction based on a portrait from a mythological relic, with added colors."

Xiao Zhi was completely stunned.

Not only that, Pikachu on Ash's shoulder was also stunned.

Souji thought that this was the first time the human and the mouse had seen Ho-Oh and were shocked by Ho-Oh's beauty.

He couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't Ho-Oh beautiful? Its elegant posture and vibrant colors make it a spirit that only appears in dreams!"

"No...no...actually...Pikachu and I met Ho-Oh when we set off!"

Souji:?

Souji thought he had misheard, and saw him staring wide-eyed at Satoshi.

It seems he's trying to determine whether Ash is deceiving him.

"Really! The Ho-Oh we saw looks a lot like Pikachu in this picture, doesn't it?"

"Pikachu!!"

Pikachu nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, Ash seemed to have thought of something.

So he carried the sleeping little dragon in his arms and ran all the way to where he was hanging his clothes to dry.

Immediately afterwards, Ash pulled a beautiful feather out of his clothes!

When Ash grasped the feather, it emitted a dazzling seven-colored light!

"Look! This is what I found after I met Ho-Oh!"

"Iridescent Feather!!!"

Souji exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but stand up and move closer to Satoshi.

However, he didn't touch the feather on Ash's hand because he had heard a legend...

Upon hearing this, the seemingly sleeping Emperor Yan raised his eyelids slightly, and after seeing the feathers radiating colorful light,

A hint of genuine shock flashed in his eyes.

'Has Ho-Oh... taken a liking to this human?'

Two small red lights suddenly appeared in the shadow of Emperor Yan!

Then a small figure slowly peeked out from the shadow of Emperor Yan.

Quietly watching Ash and the others, or rather... watching the rainbow feather in Ash's hand!

"It really is the Rainbow Feather... a legendary, extremely precious feather of the Phoenix King. Only a very few people favored by the Phoenix King are bestowed with this feather!"

"However, this is ultimately just a legend. From ancient times to the present, there is no definitive record of anyone ever obtaining the Rainbow Feather..."
