In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Bakura took out an empty Poké Ball, looked at Entei with a friendly smile, and slowly said.

Emperor Yan lowered his body slightly, his majestic eyes fixed on Bakura. Sure enough, the greedy humans had come to the pass!

"Tsk tsk~ What a disobedient fellow. I helped you get rid of those who were after you, and now you actually want to fight me?"

Bakura's lips curled into a wide, almost eerie smile. He casually took out a Poké Ball, recalled Frostwolf, and put it away. Looking at Entei, who was assuming a battle stance, another Poké Ball was spinning between his fingers.

"I'll give you one more chance. I happen to be short a Fire-type main attacker, so come and put it in the Poké Ball obediently, or don't blame me for being too harsh."

Bakura gazed at Emperor Yan and said slowly and leisurely, "He is not a kind person."

A legend like that of Emperor Yan is not worth his effort to persuade it to follow him.

"roar~"

Emperor Yan clearly understood Bakura's words, baring his teeth and glaring at Bakura, causing the surrounding air to slowly heat up.

What a greedy human! We have to get the Rainbow Feather back!

It cannot remain in the hands of this human.

"It's a real hassle, but I quite like troublemakers; at least they seem energetic."

"West Lion Sea People, prepare for battle."

Upon seeing this, Bakura threw a Poké Ball, and a beautiful and elegant Mermaid appeared in front of Bakura, swaying its tail contentedly.

Snowflake is four times weak to Fire-type attacks, so Bakura certainly wouldn't use Snowflake against Entei.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are as a member of the Ho-Oh Guard. Don't disappoint me!"

Then, Bakura gently slipped his hands into his pockets, tilted his head, glanced at Emperor Yan, and revealed a wicked smile.

Although the appearance of the Flame Emperor doesn't quite match his aesthetic sense, it's more than enough to be his main fire-type character.

At least it's better than Moltres's roasted chicken wings...

"Roar!"

Anger flashed in Emperor Yan's majestic eyes as a blazing red pillar of fire surged toward the Western Lion Sea Serpent.

The legendary battle to capture monsters begins!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Is it over?

Watching the terrifying pink superpower beam in the distance slowly turn into specks of light and dissipate, Sakura hesitated before asking a question.

"I think so..." Songye hesitated for a moment before replying uncertainly.

Although they really wanted to go and take a look, well... cough cough, it's a little dangerous, mainly!

Then, quite tacitly, Songye and the others all turned their attention to the campfire.

"I guess... everything's alright now?" Campfire thought uncertainly, stroking his chin.

She had only thrown the dream out of a moment of impulse, as a way to deal with chakra...

Now that I think about it, what have I actually done?

I hope Dream won't come after her...

Just then, an arc that traced a beautiful pink path suddenly struck from afar like lightning, crashing directly into the heart of the campfire.

"Mimi~"

A mournful, tearful whimper rang out as Squirtle kept shoving its bald head into the campfire.

It's like a bullied child crying to their parents.

After crying for a while, Squirtle raised its head, its eyes brimming with tears as it stared at the campfire. On its bald forehead, there was a red bump the size of a fist!

It looked as if it had been forcefully punched out.

May and others: ...

"Mimi~"

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, be good~ I'll make you lots of delicious food when we get back, okay? That big steel snake is a real jerk! How dare it bully our baby like that!"

May and others: ...

No, didn't you throw this Squirtle out?

and……

Now, I wonder where Steelix and Chakra have been swept away by that pink storm...

After a while of coaxing by the campfire, Squirtle finally stopped crying and nestled comfortably in the campfire's embrace, closing its eyes for a nap.

"A campfire, what is it?"

Unable to contain her curiosity, Sakura pointed at the resting Squirtle and asked the campfire a question.

"Squirtle, oh right, it was brought back by Bakura-sama, it's super strong, right?!"

"No, it's...that (beea)...it...it really is Squirtle?!"

Sakura kept waving her hands, trying to organize her thoughts but hesitating to speak, seemingly too surprised and confused to know what to say.

But in the end, it all boils down to the simplest question: Is this little monster really Squirtle?

Don't think I don't know Squirtle just because I live in the capital, you bastard!

Isn't Squirtle one of the starter Pokémon in the Kanto region? And it's in its initial form, how could it be so strong!

And that pink energy just now, it doesn't look like a water-type move at all, does it?

"Yeah, this is Squirtle." Upon hearing this, Campfire blinked and picked up 'Squirtle' for Sakura and the others to examine closely.

He was telling himself he wasn't lying; this was just an ordinary Squirtle.

Without Bakura's orders, the campfire naturally wouldn't reveal Mew's identity.

"And its cry..."

Mina frowned deeply and asked hesitantly.

Although it's called Squirtle, Mina-kun remembers that Squirtle's call is 'Squirtle', right?

"Oh, our Squirtle is learning a foreign language!"

May and others: What the hell is this foreign language?!

Are they really treating them like fools and trying to fool them?

This "meow meow meow" doesn't look like Squirtle at all. It's an explanation that some special Pokémon transform into Squirtle, which actually makes the rational Mina and others more convinced.

However, since Campfire was unwilling to talk about it, May Pine Leaf and the others did not press the matter further.

After all, it's their privacy, and besides, they were able to defeat the chakra thanks to Squirtle.

……

While May and the others were discussing with the campfire whether this 'Squirtle' was purebred, Bakura was still fighting against Entei.

"Sirion Seaman, Surf!"

Bakura shouted heavily at Nishishiki Kairen.

The strength of this Flame Emperor far exceeded Bakura's expectations; it was already at the champion level!

No wonder Chakra and his team, despite setting up elaborate traps, still couldn't capture the Flame Emperor.

"Western sea!"

The Western Lion Sea Raider raised its head high, its body shimmering with a mysterious azure light. A wave several meters high rose from the ground, obscuring the sky and sweeping towards Emperor Yan.

"roar~"

With a roar, the temperature in the air rose rapidly, and a mysterious white aura surged out from the Emperor's body, rushing towards the surfer.

"Holy Fire?" Bakura frowned slightly upon seeing this; he recognized the skill!

Sacred Flame! Ho-Oh's signature move!

——————————————————————————————

(Disclaimer: Sacred Flame was Ho-Oh's exclusive move before Generation VI, but Entei also learned it in later generations. This is not something I made up; it's an official statement.)

(The color of the Sacred Flame has also been changing. In the first few generations, it was a normal-colored flame. From the fourth generation onwards, it was purple. In the seventh generation, it was changed to white. In the movie "I Choose You," it was seven-colored...)

Holy fire surged forth wildly, white waves of fire met the surfer, and the two completely opposite energies of water and fire clashed violently!

boom!

Finally, with a deafening roar, water and fire exploded together. "You can actually use holy fire? That's... amazing!"

As the smoke cleared, Bakura's eyes gleamed as he looked at Emperor Yan, and his smile grew even wider.

The Holy Fire skill undoubtedly increases the value of this Flame Emperor!

"West Lion Sea People, the Oath of Water!"

Bakura gave another order to Seishin: he had his eye on this Flame Emperor!

The West Lion Sea Raider raised its head, and a huge spiral water column shot fiercely towards the Flame Emperor. Although the Water Oath was not as powerful as the Water Cannon, it was still a powerful weapon.

However, it takes longer to charge up than a water cannon, making it a very useful skill.

Without hesitation, Yan Di leaped up to avoid the Water Oath. After the battle, it already knew that the water attribute skills of this Western Lion Sea Serpent were extremely terrifying.
