Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 199: Battle Ends, Suicune Scores

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Commanding Tropius to entangle Gengar, while Arcanine uses Extreme Speed ​​to sweep away the surrounding poacher minions.

After Arcanine defeated all the poachers around it, Tropius, despite its type disadvantage, still maintained a slight advantage over Gengar.

This is especially rare. After all, it's common knowledge that any Pokémon capable of fighting against type disadvantages and of the same level, like Ash, is a formidable opponent.

When Arcanine arrived as reinforcements, the sinister man was even less of a match. Seeing Gengar defeated by Su Yu's two Pokémon combined, he finally closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, letting Su Yu put the silver bracelet on him.

To Su Yu's surprise, after dealing with the sinister man, the old forest ranger had also resolved the crisis.

"Frozen-spinyosaurus... no, Styrodontosaurus, well done!"

Seeing this, Su Yu also gave a thumbs up in praise.

"Spine~"

The Styracodile scratched its head sheepishly, realizing it was all thanks to Su Yu's words back then. Otherwise, it might not have been able to complete its evolution today.

But the current situation is not yet fully resolved. The Styracosaurus walked up to Arcanine and pointed to its dorsal fin.

Arcanine immediately understood and used Flamethrower to provide heat to the Styracoid. The Styracoid then converted this heat into ice energy through its dorsal fins and unleashed its Ice Beam.

Instantly, the poachers around were frozen to the ground by the ice, unable to move.

Seeing this, Su Yu didn't bother taking out his silver bracelet anymore and went directly to Suijun's side. At this moment, Suijun, who was trapped in the net, was still struggling.

Seeing this, Su Yu released the power of Everlasting, which, after being strengthened by the ancient tree, had a slight effect on calming the divine beast.

At least, Suicune was no longer struggling desperately. It looked at Su Yu, who then asked:

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Suijun nodded.

"When I release you later, don't run around, understand? We're not like those poachers; we're here to rescue you. You don't need to wander around."

Suicune nodded again. This time, Su Yu confirmed it several times before having Tropius cut the fishing net with its leaf blades.

After being released, Suijun glanced at the red marks on her body from the fishing net and sent a telepathic message:

"If it weren't for some reason that I was in a weakened state and had lost all my strength, this fishing net wouldn't have been able to trap me."

Even if you have a perfect winning streak, you still can't escape the curse of the fishing net.

Su Yu thought to himself.

However, on the surface, he still asked with surprise:

"You can actually read minds?"

In fact, after being strengthened by the ancient tree, Su Yu was also able to achieve a similar telepathic effect using the power of the ancient tree.

However, Water Lord seemed quite pleased with Su Yu's surprise, and He snorted coldly:

"Of course, don't let my appearance fool you, I am one of the most powerful deities in this region."

The strongest? Does that refer to Ho-Oh and the three legendary beasts of the Johto region?

What a wonderful "one of"...

Su Yu rolled his dead fish eyes at Suijun.

This greatly surprised Suicune. What's wrong with this human trainer? I just thought he was naive and showed off a bit, didn't I?

Why is he looking at me like that?

Finally, Su Yu couldn't keep up the act any longer. He laid his cards on the table:

"Um... actually, I know Ho-Oh."

Suijun: ? ? !

"You actually... know Lord Ho-Oh?"

This time, it was Suicune's turn to be shocked. Su Yu nodded seriously in response.

Hmm... I know Him, but He doesn't know me. That counts as knowing Him, which is reasonable.

"Besides that, I also know Lugia, the god of ocean currents; Rayquaza, the god of the sky; Regigigas, the god of continental plates; Zekrom, the dragon of ideals, and so on."

Suijun: ? ? !

Having recognized so many legendary Pokémon, who exactly is this trainer in front of me?

If before this, Water Lord still regarded Su Yu as a native of this world, someone who could show off... now, He could no longer figure out the identity of the boy in front of Him.

After all, among so many mythical beasts, some of the most powerful ones, even Suicune needs to follow Ho-Oh to be qualified to meet them.

Therefore, Suijun gradually lowered his expression and tentatively asked:

"Who...whose messenger are you?"

If it weren't for the messenger, Suicune couldn't think of any reason why a human could have seen so many mythical beasts.

However, Su Yu couldn't say anything about it. After all, saying so might expose his secret later.

He feigned profundity, using the [pseudo-telepathy] brought about by the power of Eternal Light to say:

"That lord has many enemies, so I cannot reveal this, lest those enemies come after me."

"So I'm sorry... I can't reveal my identity to you."

It was as if he hadn't said anything at all, but strangely enough, Su Yu actually bought into it. In particular, the telepathic connection that Su Yu displayed further confirmed his identity.

Suijun nodded in deep agreement, saying:

That makes sense.

The Water Lords of the past did nothing wrong. Yet, the people of the Johto region, fearing their power, attempted to suppress them with violence.

It was under those circumstances that Ho-Oh led them away from Enishu City. Being antagonized by humans for no apparent reason, it could be said that the three legendary beasts were deeply hurt by humanity at that time.

So, if we apply this to Su Yu, perhaps that great one also has many human haters in this world.

Once they learn that Su Yu is that person's envoy, those little haters will immediately come after him.

Su Yu then asked:

"By the way, didn't Lord Ho-Oh come down with you? What about the other two sacred beasts?"

"Ahem, they... they are still with the City Capital Continent and have not yet descended."

"I was invited by Marshall to assist in exploring the spirit world, but I was accidentally brought out of there. That's why I didn't descend with the Jodo Continent."

"However, I can still maintain a connection with them. As soon as they descend, I can sense their location, and then I can rush to meet them."

Suijun explained with an embarrassed expression.

Su Yu nodded knowingly, and then extended an invitation to Shui Jun:

"Would you like to stay at my ranch for a while? The scenery there is quite nice, and the ranch is very large."

"Furthermore, a rare Pokémon like you wandering around outside is very likely to be targeted by poachers again, just like today. Especially since you're currently in a weakened state, you could easily be captured by humans."

"So you might as well come to me, and I can protect you as a human."

Upon hearing this, Suicune pondered for a while before finally nodding. He was currently in an unfamiliar place, all alone, and still in a weakened state; it was indeed unsuitable for him to be out alone.

Su Yu was probably the human with the deepest relationship with Phoenix King that He could encounter, and his identity was trustworthy; he had even saved Him.

Overall, Su Yu is the most trustworthy person He has encountered so far.

Seeing that Suicune had finally agreed, Su Yu was overjoyed. He took out a Poké Ball and said to Suicune:

"Then you can stay in the Poké Ball for now. I'll release you when we get to the ranch."

"Don't worry, this isn't about subjugating them, it's just a portable tool. After all, I don't want to bear the brunt of Lord Ho-Oh's [Holy Flame]."

Su Yu reiterated this point repeatedly.
