---- "As expected..." Seeing that Silver, as expected, refused to surrender, Looker swiftly threw out two Poké Balls, releasing Growlithe and Toxicroak, and sternly declared, "I knew you wouldn't come quietly. That means we'll have to take you down by force!" Since this battle wasn't primarily his, but rather a joint effort to assist Looker, Kai merely released Gardevoir, while Gengar, who had been lurking in the shadows, emerged as well. With these two Pokémon, he positioned himself to block Silver's escape route. On the other side, Sabrina also released Alakazam and the Slowking she had caught in the Orange Islands, reinforcing the perimeter. "Growlithe, use Flamethrower! Toxicroak, Sludge Bomb!" As Looker issued his commands, Silver immediately responded, "Sneasel, use Icy Wind! Golbat, Air Cutter! Gastly, Shadow Ball!" In an instant, five Pokémon clashed fiercely, their attacks colliding mid-air, creating a chaotic scene filled with roaring, screeches of pain, and flashes of energy. The intense battle sent waves of wild Pokémon scurrying for safety. At that moment, it was a three-on-two battle. While Looker was at a slight numerical disadvantage against Silver, the presence of Kai and Sabrina provided support, allowing Looker to go all out without restraint. This gave him the upper hand from the start. BOOM! BOOM! Explosions shook the forest as powerful attacks clashed, sending debris flying and toppling thick trees. After observing for a while, seeing that Looker was having difficulty subduing Silver's Pokémon, Kai seized an opportunity when Golbat had just finished an attack. "Gardevoir, use Psychic!" In the next moment, Gardevoir launched a surprise strike, catching Golbat completely off guard. Its body was forcefully hurled through the air, crashing into a large boulder! With one enemy down, Looker's pressure eased significantly, allowing him to push Silver further into a disadvantage. Tsk! Silver gritted his teeth, clearly frustrated. Even handling this single International Police officer was challenging enough, but now he had two additional strong opponents keeping watch! Seeing that the battle was turning against him and recognizing that he was outmatched, Silver began considering an escape plan, 'I can't keep fighting like this... I need to get out!' Clenching his teeth, he ordered all three of his Pokémon to simultaneously push back Looker's assault. Then, without hesitation, he commanded them to charge at Kai's side, aiming to exploit a gap and breakthrough! But Kai saw through his intention immediately. He swiftly gestured to Gengar and Gardevoir, who launched a coordinated counterattack. The sheer power disparity forced Silver's Pokémon back once again. 'Damn it!' Silver cursed under his breath, realizing his plan had failed. Now he had no choice but to shift his focus toward Sabrina. Although rumours within Team Rocket spoke of this woman's overwhelming strength, Silver assumed that, as a human, she couldn't possibly be as formidable as a Psychic-type Pokémon. Unfortunately, he was dead wrong. Without even using her Pokémon, Sabrina's flowing hair lifted slightly as she unleashed her own psychic power. A formidable, almost merciless force surged forth, crushing Silver and his Pokémon to the ground instantly. THUD! Silver slammed onto the ground, his mind spinning from the impact. His once-pale complexion turned even whiter as waves of shock coursed through him. 'This... this can't be happening!! How is this woman so powerful?!' 'This... this isn't something a normal human should be capable of!!' He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. 'I can't escape... I'm completely trapped!' "Give it up," Looker stepped forward, his Pokémon tightening their formation. "The two people standing before you aren't opponents you can handle right now. Stop resisting and come quietly." Silver, the young beast of Team Rocket, now cornered like prey, found himself completely powerless against this overwhelming force. Looker's Growlithe and Toxicroak advanced step by step, pressing him further. Meanwhile, his own Sneasel, Golbat, and Gastly were all battered and exhausted, barely able to stand. Looker pulled out a pair of handcuffs, ready to make the arrest. Just as he stepped forward— A brilliant flash of light erupted from the lake beside them! This sudden change drew everyone's attention. Kai squinted against the dazzling glow and spotted a figure standing atop a rocky outcrop in the lake. Because the light was still too intense, its form was only vaguely visible. But even with just an outline— Its graceful stance, the flowing, ribbon-like tails, and the majestic aura radiating from its presence made its identity undeniable! "What is that Pokémon?" Looker shielded his eyes from the blinding light, asking in disbelief. As the light slowly faded— Everyone finally saw it clearly. And when they did, shock rippled through their expressions! Its sleek, blue body... The white, geometric markings across its form... The gem-like crest upon its forehead... And the long, flowing ribbons trailing behind it... It was a legendary Pokémon, one that every trainer dreamed of encountering. "It's Suicune!!!" Looker exclaimed, his voice shaking. Suicune, the Aurora Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon said to be born from the flames of the Burned Tower, revived by Ho-Oh alongside Raikou and Entei. It was said to be the embodiment of the north wind, a guardian that could purify even the most tainted waters with its mere presence. Even though he was seeing it with his own eyes, Looker still found it hard to believe. "This... This can't be real! Why would Suicune appear here?!" No one had an answer. For Kai, despite having met and even captured other legendary Pokémon, witnessing Suicune in the wild still sent chills down his spine. His hands instinctively reached into his coat, pulling out his Pokédex. Pokédex Scan: "Suicune, the Aurora Pokémon. A Water-type Legendary Pokémon. It is said to embody the gentle spirit of a clear spring. Suicune roams the land, forever chasing clean water sources. It is capable of instantly purifying polluted waters. Legends tell that when it appears, a mystical north wind follows, guiding its path." At that moment, Suicune's calm and wise gaze locked onto them. And as their eyes met, they understood why it had come. As a guardian Pokémon devoted to preserving nature's peace, Suicune must have heard the fierce battle disturbing the tranquillity of the forest. And now— It had arrived to put an end to the conflict. ---- Return of the Cliffhanger ???? ---- Don't forget to drop some PowerStones!???????????? For early access to advanced chapters on p@treon.
