Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The white ribbons on her body fluttered, and the purple fur behind the sapphire swayed in the wind, making her look very beautiful and elegant.

"Hurry up, Curator Hiroyuki! Battle Suijun and catch him!"

Gym manager Keiko has an unusual fondness for Suicune and keeps urging Haoyan to catch it.

"Fighting is possible..."

"But as for subduing it, let's forget about it..."

Haoyan felt a headache coming on and said to Suijun, "Why don't you go find Mikuri instead..."

"McClure is a Water-type trainer..."

"I believe he can raise you well..."

To be fair, Suicune's appearance perfectly matches Haoyan's aesthetic.

It's just like pure white Rehiram.

In terms of appearance, it is indeed a cut above the other mythical beasts.

If it were in the past, he would probably be very happy if Suicune, who is good-looking and not weak, joined him.

The problem is, Haoyan already has enough Pokémon.

After capturing Suicune, he had no interest in training it.

Subduing someone means taking responsibility. Haoyan is a good man; he won't just flirt and leave.

I will do my best to be a trainer and raise Pokémon.

"Director Haoyan!"

"That's Suicune!"

"One of the legendary Three Divine Beasts!"

"The messenger of the North Wind!"

"Suiki, who possesses the power to purify water sources!"

"Suicune is very strong!"

"What you just said will infuriate a lot of people!"

"It's Keiko, the dojo manager," she said loudly.

It's clear that she really likes the handsome Suicune.

Seeing that Keiko was a little agitated, Naz immediately went over and hugged her, signaling her to calm down: "Keiko, your teacher knows what she's doing..."

"Besides, what teachers have no shortage of is all sorts of mythical creatures..."

After Naza's reminder, Keiko calmed down.

The Slateport Gym already has three legendary birds, on par with Suicune, as its mascots.

Let alone a mere level three god, Suicune.

Even Kyurem, a first-tier god, couldn't win Haoyan's heart because of his looks.

Haoyan arranged for them to stay in a cave near the Kaina Dojo.

It seems they haven't even gone to see it once.

Now, will Hao Yan take Suicune, one of the three legendary beasts, to heart?

Having understood this principle, Huizi was able to comprehend Haoyan.

He said with some regret, "But Director Haoyan, Suijun came all this way to see you..."

"It's so hurtful to reject someone like that..."

"Hey~"

Hao Yan sighed heavily, feeling helpless.

Huizi is right. It doesn't seem right to turn people away after they've come all this way.

That's far too heartless.

Too cruel~

"Sometimes being too charming can be a problem..."

... ...

Chapter 693 Subduing Suicune, and another one arrives.

In the Slateport Gym, Hao Yan is using Mewtwo and battling Suicune.

A terrifying supernatural energy permeated the air.

Mewtwo, transformed into a law, unleashed a powerful Spirit Strike.

The originally invisible psychic energy seemed to transform into a sharp dagger, striking Suicune on the battlefield.

"Ow~"

The moment Suicune was hit, it was immediately blasted away by the massive amount of energy!

With a bang, it crashed into the edge of the field.

"Ow~"

A light blue water curtain covered Suicune's body, rapidly replenishing its consumed energy.

"In terms of defensive capabilities and endurance, it's alright..."

"However, its attack power is noticeably weaker..."

"Suicune's overall combat strength is a bit weak..."

Haoyan watched the Suicune he was battling and silently calculated Suicune's abilities.

Mewtwo, an advanced legendary Pokémon at the mid-level, has reached the strength of an ordinary level 2 legendary Pokémon.

Suijun only reached the middle level of a third-tier god.

The gap between the two sides is quite obvious.

However, combat is not Suicune's forte.

Suijun's special ability is to purify water sources.

It is precisely because of this that Suicune possesses the ability to walk on water.

Don't underestimate this point; even many top-tier gods with exceptional combat power don't have this ability.

It seems that even bighead carp can't purify the water.

"Ow!"

Suijun shook his head, which was still a little dizzy from the impact.

White ribbons fluttered, and with a roar, its entire body burst forth with blue light as it unleashed a water-type Water Slash, charging towards Mewtwo.

"Although their combat strength isn't high, they're quite resilient..."

A hint of appreciation appeared in Haoyan's eyes.

... ...

Because of news that Suicune had arrived at Slateport's Gym, a large number of spectators quickly flooded into Slateport's Gym.

Let's witness the splendor of the Water King.

Mikoli, who had come from Liuli City and was covered in dust from his journey, also squeezed through the crowd to watch the battle between the two sides.

When Wallace received the news that Suicune had appeared at Slateport's Gym and was going to challenge Hoenn, he didn't believe it.

He didn't understand why Shui Jun chose Hao Yan instead of him.

After all, he is the trainer who specializes in water-type trainers.

But when he saw Mewtwo easily defeat Suicune.

Mikoli has figured it out!

It turns out that during the time that Hiroki was away from the Hoenn region, his strength had already increased significantly.

After losing to Haoyan at the Rainbow Tournament, Mikoli felt that if she worked hard, she might be able to keep up with Haoyan.

But now, he understands completely.

Haoyan has fallen far behind him!

This explains why Suicune would abandon him, a Water-type specialist, to cling to Haoyan's coattails.

"Oh, Haoyan..."

Mikoli, who was full of anticipation but came up empty-handed, was filled with disappointment.

"fine…"

"No matter who it is, no one can compare to this prodigy..."

Upon hearing the news, Daigo put his arm around Michael's shoulder, comforting his friend.

Only those who have been rained on are more willing to hold an umbrella for others.

Daigo had also been defeated by Hiroyuki, and at this moment, Michael felt that his good friend Daigo understood him better.

He truly is my best buddy.

Michael silently patted Daigo's hand on his shoulder.

... ...

"Ow~"

Suicune, having been hit repeatedly, no longer had its white ribbons fluttering, and the blue water curtain covering its body had dried up and dissipated.

He tried his best to stand up with his limbs, but he was too weak to do so!

It let out a howl, admitting defeat.
