The Poké Ball only flashed for a moment and then stopped.
Rhydon, which could stay in the water, was successfully caught by Ash.
Its strength is also very strong, and the compatibility with Ash is actually very high. It reaches 225 as soon as it is caught. As the training progresses, when it finally evolves, the compatibility will reach the max instantly.
In this battle, this Rhydon also fully recognized Ash's power, and the Bond Value reached 120, even if it is not high right now.
Ash asked his newly caught Rhydon to help Pietra create the tunnel. After that whole ordeal, the group continued in their journey and went directly to the next town.
Because Rhydon was just caught, the Pokémon he could keep was full again.
He came to the Pokémon Center here and planned to teleport his Noctowl back.
But Professor Oak heard that this was a Rhydon that could stay in the water, and was very interested in examining it.
Ash must send it over to observe and study it. He wants to know what changes will happen to the Rock and Ground type Pokémon when it stays in the water.
There was no way he could reject the Professor like this so he immediately offered to exchange one for another, and took Raikou back from the lab!
In this way, he currently has Pikachu, Meganium, Typhlosion, Wartortle, Lapras and Raikou and boarded a ferry in this town. He had to cross a vast forest by water to reach his target, Olivine City.
"Look, Ash, Lapras is swimming so happily!" Standing on the splint, Ash and the three of them stood side by side, looking at Lapras swimming with the ferry in the water, looking very happy.
Molly is very courageous. She just sits on Lapras' back, enjoying the speed and passion.
She was not afraid of falling into the water at all. She knew that Ash was always watching her and would use his Psychic to save her if she was in danger.
"Ash, your dream is to become the Pokémon Master, right?" Standing next to Ash and the other three was an older guy named White, and they had a great conversation.
Ash always kept part of his attention on Molly, "Yes, I am someone who will to become the Pokémon master!"
So White said, "There are many Pokémon in the forest near my village upstream of this river!"
"Mr. White, please take us to that forest!"
As if he had already guessed what Ash would say, White immediately agreed, "No problem, but I have to take my own boat ahead!"
Everyone was chatting about the details of going to that forest, and Pikachu seemed to have discovered something, "Pika pika!"
Ash also seemed to feel something off, and quickly turned his head and looked towards the river bank.
He saw that familiar figure again.
Suicune seems to have been following Ash ever since he came to the Johto Region! At this moment, it is hidden in the fog in the mountains and forests, looming over them.
"Suicune!" Ash suddenly shouted, "Next time we meet again, don't run away!"
On the bank of the river, Suicune seemed to nod slightly and disappeared again!
Seeing this, Ash's mouth opened into a smile!
. . . . . . . .
What the group of people didn't know was that just outside the forest, a strong man wearing a mask kicked open a dilapidated hut and grabbed an old, thin old man by the neck.
"Hurry up and find the location of the forest where you let Celebi escape 40 years ago!"
It turns out that this thin old man is a Pokémon Hunter, and his shotgun can be seen in this cabin.
In the photos on the wall, you can see him as a young man, riding a motorcycle with Houndoom as a hunting dog beside him, looking high and mighty.
40 years ago, he was chasing Celebi, the Legendary Forest God with the ability to travel through time, and the Guardian of the Forest. Although he had seriously injured it, he still let it run away.
Over the years, he has never given up hunting Celebi.
"It's my prey, I won't tell anyone else about this!" Even though he was being strangled, the old man still spoke harshly.
The strong man smiled cruelly, "Humph, you are so stubborn for no reason!"
Outside this hut, there are actually many cages placed.
Nidoking, Piloswine, Fearow, Sandshrew, Graveler, etc. Despite his thin appearance, this old man gets stronger with age and experience, he has hunted so many precious Pokémon.
The most precious one among them is a Tyranitar.
This is the Pseudo Legendary of Johto Region!
The status is equivalent to Dragonite in Kanto Region.
Tyranitar is a dual Rock and Dark type, and it makes you feel afraid just by looking at it!
It is covered with green Rock armor, which is an almost unbreakable defense against their opponents. It has the power to easily change the surrounding environment with its body!
Once a Tyranitar goes crazy, it will turn mountains to destroyed mountains and go on a rampage on anything it sees. It is considered a moving disaster class Pokémon!
This Tyranitar is extremely well developed and obviously of a very high level. It was obviously drugged by the old man. Otherwise, how could it be trapped with this hunter iron cage?
The strange man threw the old man to the ground, sent his Sneasel to cut open the iron cage, and released the Tyranitar.
Tyranitar couldn't muster any strength at all, so she could only watch as the strange man threw a Black Poké Ball at her.
The Dark Ball, which can forcefully subdue Pokémon and turn the captured Pokémon evil, increasing its power to the maximum!
The dark fluctuations of energy once again strengthened its already powerful body, not only did it wash away the drugs in its body, but also changed its mind, making it completely obedient to the orders of this man.
"Come out, Dark Tyranitar!"
Tyranitar was released again, reaching a height of nearly 3 meters, with red eyes filled with evil aura!
"Destroy as much as you like!"
Tyranitar used her Hyper Beam and destroyed all the cages here, and also making the Pokémon inside lose their fighting ability and thus were knocked out.
The old man felt distressed. Seeing his hut, everything close to him was destroyed in a sea of fire. No matter how tough his mouth was, he was finally pried open. He hugged the man's feet and begged.
"Stop it, I'll tell you where the Celebi is!"
Hearing this, the masked man laughed wildly.
