Chapter no.34 Suicune

Start from the beginning
                                    

' That was reckless and a complete ash thing to do .'

He's been a bit different ever since he came into this world and now he was doing some reckless things.

Could their traits of Ash be bleeding over to him?

Giving a smile to his pokemon, Austin turned to return the others only to stop and stare.

Standing across the water was a giant blue dog-like Pokemon with a purple mane and two white streamer-like tails that streamed forward.

"Suicune," Austin said in shock as it stared at them.

The teaware froze looking at the Legendary in a mixture of awe and nervousness.

It felt like forever as they stared at Suicune before it walked forward across the water, coming to a stop right in front of Austin.

From how it looked, Austin knew… Suicune knew that he didn't belong in this world.

Before he could voice anything Austin saw that Suicune had something in his mouth he dropped it before crying as he raced off.

They all watched Suicune's retreating form.

Looking down, Austin's eyes widened at what he saw.

It was a rainbow feather.

The Thief was looking in pure shock at what she just witnessed.

She was about to confront him before it happened.

She just saw a Legendary from the Johto Region approach the guy who stole her money like it was nothing.

Luckily she got a few pics of it, something that would earn a lot of money from the right people.

But now she was staring at the boy curiously as he returned his Pokemon and the Pikachu jumped on his shoulder.

Who was he?

Why did a Legendary just approach him like that when most trainers go their entire lives without seeing one?

[ Pallet Town - Ketchum Household ]

Delia Ketchum couldn't help but sigh. Her favorite drama series " To Be or Not To Be" was airing its final episode. She couldn't wait. Just 10 minutes before she finally finds out who wins the heart of the main lead, Antonio.

Switching on the tv, a news broadcast was airing.

The spire of light that appeared in Cerulean City between 10 and midnight could be seen from all over Kanto and the strange phenomenon was soon called: The Shine. The source of this anomaly is still unknown. Rumors say that some kind of Pokémon created it while other people claim that Rayquaza might have something to do with it. As of now, there's an abundance of theories swarming the web and while we still are waiting for an official response from the League we have confirmation that Suicune moved from Johto to Kanto this morning."

The news reporter that stood in front of the crater waited in silence and brushed a hair lock out of her face as she waited for the camera crew to get their shit together.

The broadcast changed and a bad-quality video started playing.

There was a big blue surface and although the quality of the video was around the same one you have in UFO sightings, I could still make out it was water.

A black streak shot over the screen and just like that it was over. The video was rewinded and paused the moment the black streak was visible. It zoomed in again, lowering the quality of the video once again.

If someone narrowed their eyes they could vaguely make out the shape of a Pokémon one might describe as Suicune.

The newscast went back to the reporter in Cerulean City. "Is there a correlation between Suicune's arrival and the Shine?"

She smiled. "Only time will tell. This was Lissa Thunders from Kanto. Now, back to you, George!"

"Thank you, Lissa." A fat man with a fancy suit replied, "Now we have some eyewitnesses..."

Delia Ketchum rolled her eyes. Every news channel liked to spout out the same nonsense that some Legendary Pokémon had a connection to the latest news.

Just a month prior, when the fog had engulfed the east coast of Kanto. People claimed that the weather on the coast resembled a spiral and the spark was lit. Many channels claimed that it was the work of a baby Rayquaza e.t.c. even though the weather change had resulted in the death toll of a migrating flock. Despite this tragedy happening, these people still didn't want to convey facts or statistics rather they wanted to convey a fake story along the lines of just a theory.

For the next three days Austin's mind was filled with question after question but no answers.

Why did Suicune give him Ho-oh's rainbow feather?

Austin knew that the rainbow feather was required in the games to encounter Ho-oh. Did that mean Ho-oh deemed him worthy of encountering and battling it?

But why? Why didn't he receive the Rainbow feather when he saw Ho-oh from afar?

Why has Suicune brought it to him?

Austin had so many questions but no answers.

Austin put the mystery of the Rainbow feather in the back of his mind as the three days passed by quickly.

He had a Gym Battle to appear in.

"I hope we got enough training," Austin muttered out loud as he remembered how strong Brock was compared to the Anime.

If that was different, how strong was Misty?

"I'm sure you'll do fine Ash," Brock said with a smile. "You've done more preparation than many trainers do for a Gym Battle."

"Yeah and you won the first Gym with Type Disadvantages, you'll win with Pikachu." Yellow piped up looking happy at the chance of seeing another Gym Battle.

"For all, we know the Gym Leader has a strategy to counter advantages." Austin pointed out, knowing that Misty most likely prepared for the Electric Impact and Counter-Shield.

"Chu. Pika Pi!" Pikachu had a determined look as he clenched a paw, a little excited about his first Gym Battle.

Giving a grin, Austin entered to see Misty waiting.

"Finally you showed up, I was beginning to think you wouldn't," Misty said with a smirk.
