Legendary beasts

{Jessie, James, Meowth}

The trio finally arrived in Violet City after a few days of non-stop travel; they walked in.

James and Meowth were almost falling over from how hungry and tired they were since they didn't stop to eat or sleep, so they were looking forward to finally getting a rest.

Jessie, however, looked fine as she walked casually behind them, holding her Cubone in her arms as they were both snacking.

Meowth smelled the food and turned back, and only then did he see that Jessie was eating, "Hey, what gives Jessie!"

James finally turned back and also saw Jessie and Cubone eating casualty, "Hey, why are you eating, you told us we couldn't eat to get here faster!"

Jessie rolled her eyes as she took another bite, "I said we couldn't stop to eat, I never said you couldn't eat, the fact that you weren't smart enough to eat as we walked is your fault."

"Why I odda-" Meowth said as he was about to walk towards Jessie, but James stopped him and shook his head.

"We both know there's no point,"

Meowth sighed, "You're right, whatever we're here, so let's go and find something to eat, I'm about to lose one of my nine lives,"

Jessie looked through her standard-issue phone, looking at a map of the town, "Sure, we can get something. We could always find a restaurant, or if we don't want to pay, we could always go to the Poke-" Jessie stopped as she saw something.

James and Meowth didn't notice that Jessie stopped, "I think we should go to a restaurant. I want a burger, here in Johto, they use more meat!"

Meowth nodded happily, "Yeah, yeah, that sounds great!"

As the boys were planning, Jessie looked into the Pokemon center more, "Hey…guys, you go on ahead, I have something I want to do…"

Even if they were hungry, they could see that something was up with Jessie, "You need to do something? We can go with you if you want,"

Jessie shook her head, "No, it's fine, i-i think I just need to go…meet an old friend, come on you guys go eat, get me a veggie burger, by the way," then she walked away, leaving James and Meowth looking at each other.

"...Should we follow her?" Meowth asked

James looked at Jessie's beck as she was walking away, "No, I think this is something she wants to do by herself, come on, let's go get burgers." Meowth nodded as they walked in another direction.

Jessie kept walking to the Pokemon center and took a deep breath, walking inside. Currently, it was more or less empty with a few people around but no one specific, the Joy wasn't around and probably went on a break.

But on the counter, there was the person or rather Pokemon, she was looking for, a Blissey who had a broken Egg necklace.

Jessie walked up and smiled, "Hello there,"

Blissey didn't recognize Jessie at first, so she just smiled, "Blissey~!"

"That's a nice necklace you have," Jessie said

Blissey's smile grew as she nodded and held it like it was a precious gift, "Bliss-Blissey~!"

"That's just like you, isn't it…"

Blissey looked slightly confused as she tired her head,

Jessie pulled out another piece of a broken egg, "It's good to see you, I knew you would always end up evolving into a Blissey, my best friend…"

Blissey looked shocked, but then a smile grew on her face as she jumped over the counter and started hugging Jessie and nuzzling into her shirt, "BlisseyBlissey!"

"I know, it's good to see you, how have you been…"

—--

Ash had to let Chikorita out of the Pokeball and showed Falkner his trainer ID he also showed a record of the battle. After pulling everyone aside and making them give individual statements, Ash was declared innocent.

Falkner rubbed his head as he put on his jacket again, "Sorry for this, it's just the area beyond those trees is a protected area, we don't have rangers, so it's my responsibility to look out for them,"

"Nah, it's fine," Ash said, trying to pet Chikorita, but she rejected it, it's probably because he didn't save her like OG Ash did, but maybe that will be better in the long run, "You said it yourself, poachers have been seen in the area."

Falkner sighed and rubbed his head, "I know, but I really should be able to see it easier, I just stopped you and your friends when you did nothing wrong."

Brock walked up and put a hand on Falkner's shoulder, "It's fine, everyone makes mistakes, you look like you're not even older than me, so you're going to make mistakes what's important is that you learn,"

Falkner took a breath, "Yeah, you're right, it's just that I'm trying harder since I'm the new g-"

Suddenly, Falkner was interrupted by the voice of an older man loudly interrupted, "Yo, Bro, you guys find any rare Pokemon!"

From a distance, a short man with a mohawk walked up with a Hoothoot on his shoulder and what looked like an ice box on his side,

Everyone except Ash looked confused at what he was talking about,

The man chuckled, "Don't give me that 'I don't know what you're talking about' look like you're all not doing the same thing thing as me"

"Same?" Falkner mumbled,

"Other than capturing wild Pokemon, what else can you do when you're right next to the protected zone for wild Pokemon?" He said, opening his case where tons of Pokeballs were held, "Look at all these!"

Falkner frowned and started reaching into his jacket while Yellow looked sheepishly at the man, "Does that mean you're a Pokemon poacher,"

He chuckled and looked proud, "But of course, I know you kids must be aspiring to be great poachers like me," then he looked at Ash, who had a struggling Chikorita in his arms, "Ah, a Chikorita! Good catch. It's impossible to separate them from the group, but you did it, you did good work, bro, that will be worth a pretty penny!"

Falkner was walking forward about to pull out his badge when suddenly storm clouds formed in the sky above them, 

The man looked up, "Huh, a sudden storm, I guess we should all come back another day-"

But he was interrupted as suddenly a bolt of lightning struck a tree and united it in a bright light, surprising everyone, then, at the top, there was a four-legged Pokemon.

"What a Pokemon…?" Falkner mumbled

As the smoke dispersed on the top of the tree, Raikou was standing there and looking down at them; the surprise gave Chikorita the chance to jump out of Ash's arms.

"Raikou!!" the man said excitedly.

"Hey, there's another one!" Brock yelled out as they looked, and beyond them was Entei, walking on a stone and looking down at them.

"Make that three!" Misty called out as she over by the lake Suicune looked at them as well

"The Legendary Beasts…." Falkner said as they were surrounded

The man looked greedily, "Must be my lucky day! If I catch them, I'll be on easy street forever!"

As he was about to try to pull out a Pokeball, suddenly Falkner grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back as Entei almost stomped on him.

Chikorita was focused on Raikou as this happened she was interested in fighting the strong-looking Pokemon, so she started shouting out in Pokemon things that were probably not family-friendly,

Raikou looked annoyed as she suddenly charged up a bolt of electricity and shot it through Chikorita, the bolt came from the sky, creating a [Thunder] only in that split moment did she realize something: she messed up.

As the [Thunder] came down, she tried bracing herself, but now that she saw it coming, she knew she wouldn't be able to take it, she braced her legs and closed her eyes

Suddenly, though, she felt an arm grab her, then the sound of a shout, "Pikachu [Iron tail]!"

As Chikorita opened her eyes, she saw Ash holding her, protecting her from the top. Pikachu jumped up and made his tail silver, hitting the [Thunder] and starting to absorb it as he backflipped back down

Usually, Ash wouldn't try this because, in most cases, he knows even Pikachu couldn't handle electricity from a legendary, but as soon as these three arrived, he noticed something with Aura, these are not the same trio he met with Ho-Oh.

Meaning these three are weaker, so even though he can't beat them, he can fight them,

Chikorita looked up at Ash, who was holding her in a hug as he got ready to start fighting back, "Chikorita, this isn't safe go back in the ball," Ash said, holding her Pokeball.

This time, she looked at Ash and nodded. As she pressed the button going in again, Ash put her away and pulled out another Pokeball.

The whole time, Suicune was just watching and not doing anything yet.

"Looks like we can't run, we're surrounded!" Ash said, "So we need to fight them off at least!"

Falkner nodded as he made the man hop on Skarmory with him, "I can deal with Entei!"

Brock jumped on as well, "I'm going with you,"

Misty looked over at Suicune, "I call Suicune. Yellow, you're with me!"

"R-right!" Yellow said, then looking back at Ash, who looked up at Raikou.

"I'll take care of Raikou then," Ash said, but between everyone, there was an unspoken truth they all knew: none of them could beat these beasts.

Skarmory took to the sky, and Misty grabbed Yellow's hand and ran to the lake while Ash stayed in place and looked up at Raikou, still holding onto the Pokeball he grabbed from his bag earlier.

"Let's do this, Nidoking!" Ash yelled out as the familiar purple Pokemon came out and punched his hands together, sending a roar in the air. Pikachu climbed up Nidoking and was perched on his shoulder now as it was time to try their luck.

-

In the Sky Falkner, the Poacher and Brock flew over as Entei started chasing them, Brock pulled out a Pokeball and looked at it, taking a deep breath, "Please listen…"

He pushed the button, releasing Aerodactyl, as Aerodactyl came out and flapped his wings, he looked around and glared at Brock it looked like he was about to lash out at Brock, but then he saw Entei,"

Brock had a bit of hope, "Aerodactyl! Listen, that Pokemon is really powerful, let's fight it together!"

Aerodactyl didn't like Brock that much, but he did like the sound of that fighting someone strong, someone worthy that would be nice, so for just right now, he would cooperate with Brock.

Brock smiled, "Right then, let's do this," he said as Aerodactyl flew over, and he jumped on his back, all while still in the air.

–

By the lake, Misty and Yellow looked out and saw Suicune, even though they were both running here to fight off Suicune enough so that Suicune would at least leave them alone, but as they grabbed their Pokeballs, they both saw Suicune as it just looked at them.

For some reason, they didn't feel like they should, this wasn't some mind control because if it was, Yellow would be immune to it, this was more like they felt a connection with it.

For Yellow, it was easy because of her power she had a connection to every Pokemon, but there was also something more faint, and with Misty, well, it was hard to say what it was.

But one thing was clear: Suicune wasn't planning on fighting them, and they didn't want to fight Suicune.
