After leaving the whole fiasco with the fossil Pokémon's, Ash and the group decided to leave Professor Oak and continue their journey.
——————————
There are really too many forests in Johto Region.
But as a Grass type Pokémon, Bayleef was very happy to see this. She sang songs and lullabies with Molly all the way and looked very happy doing so.
But the sky in the forest suddenly became overcast, and it started to rain heavily for no reason that he could find.
Ash looked at the dark clouds rising in the sky and frowned.
"What's going on? It was just a sunny day just now!" Misty complained all the way, and the group found a big tree with a dense benches and leaves to take temporary shelter from the rain.
However, Molly was just slightly shielded by the leaves on Bayleef's head and was not caught in the rain by much. Ash quickly took out her little raincoat and put it on her. It would be bad if Molly caught a cold at this time and place.
Among Ash's group, Molly has the most complete equipment by far with everything she needed on a daily basis.
"It's raining, it's raining..."
The little girl put on her raincoat and boots, and jumped off Bayleef's back. But while she was still waiting for her fun, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, scaring her so much that she ran back to Ash's arms.
"Brother Ash, Thunder is coming, I'm afraid!"
"Pika pika!"
Pikachu on Ash's shoulder jumped down and patted Molly's back, as if to comfort her not to be afraid of it.
"Thunder, what's there to be afraid of? That's just a crackle in the atmosphere going on, don't be afraid." Ash tried to sooth Molly and calm her down.
"The situation is not good!" Seeing the rain getting heavier, Brock said worriedly, "Let's find a real place to shelter from the rain!" There was rain drops falling on top of them from the leaves above them.
"Found it!"
Ash's eyes flashed with a gental blue light, and he pointed to the hillside behind him. There was a luxurious villa there. Against the background of lightning and the falling rain, it felt eerie all around them.
But now there is no other way. How can I be afraid of simple weather as a Trainer?
Ash and his party quickly and carefully climbed up the hillside and came to the big villa by the side of the hill.
"I'm sorry, can we take shelter here from the rain?" After knocking on the door, the door opened by itself.
It was dark inside, and there were also bursts of gruesome sounds. Ash and his group rushed over following the sound, opened the door, and what they saw was not the murder scene they imagined. . . .
Um, it seems like there was some drama. . .
The lights in this room are bright, Machoke is squeezing someones shoulders, Spinarak spins out silk thread to bandage the wounds on the people's arms, and Mareep uses Thunder Shock to give the people electrotherapy.
The most eye-catching thing here is the young lady in a white coat. She should be a doctor, a real human doctor!
Ash and his group pushed the door open, and the young lady turned around and said, "We have to wait in line for treatment! Please wait a moment before I call you!"
"I'm really sorry. Actually, we came here to take shelter from the rain..."
"First time we meet, madam, my name is Brock! I am willing to wait for the call of a beautiful lady like you, whether it is ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years!" Before Ash and the two others could explain their intention, Brock It had teleported in front of her.
His old habits returned.
"May I ask your name, please?"
"My name is Anna, and I'm the doctor here!" Doctor Anna understood the purpose of the group's visit. Not only did she agree to let them stay here, she also introduced in detail the functions of the Pokémon here to assist in examination and treatment of the patients.
It should be said that this is the magic work of Pokémon here.
Seeing this, Brock, who aspires to become a top Pokemon Breeder, decided to take advantage of the rainy day to study and help out. Of course, Ash and Misty both know him, and there must be an element of attentiveness in this, even if he truly did want to help and learn from the bottom of his heart.
"In that case!" Ash picked up Pikachu and put it on his shoulders, "Misty, please take care of Molly!"
"Ash, what are you going to do?"
Ash took Bayleef back into her Poké Ball, "There's something wrong with this rain, I'm going to check it out and see why this is the case!"
It's not like there was no case of sudden rain before, but this time Ash clearly felt a familiar Aura at the moment it began to rain!
"Molly, stay with Misty here to take shelter from the rain, okay? I will be back soon." It's pouring rain outside, so it's best for Molly to stay here and rest up.
The little girl is very well-behaved and listened to him attentively.
Walking out of the villa gate, Ash's body flashed with blue light, he turned his head to look in the direction of the lightning, and disappeared into the heavy rain.
"Pikachu!"
Amidst the lightning, thunder, and heavy rain, Pikachu's cheeks often flash with sparks.
"Pikachu, are you feeling something too?"
Pikachu's perception is very sharp, and it can always notice something immediately, most of times even before he could notice anything.
Pikachu's expression was not too serious, so Ash's mood was also more relaxed than before.
BOOM!
At this moment, a thunder rang out, illuminating the dark night of the forest, and a familiar blue figure appeared in front of Ash and Pikachu.
"I should have expected this, it's your Rain Dance!"
The creature who appeared in front of Ash and Pikachu was Suicune!
Different from the previous blue light shadow, this time Suicune appeared in front of Ash in his truest form.
Suicune jumped up and came to Ash and Pikachu, staring at Ash with her red eyes.
According to legend, Suicune is the incarnation of the North Wind, with a sapphire-like headdress surrounded by white wind ribbons, showing a light and beautiful figure.
The blue and white patterns on its body reflect the image of water and wind!
In the legend of Johto Region, it is said that Suicune is like the North Wind that travels around the world and purifies the polluted water.
This Suicune seems to have been following Ash's group not long after he reached the Johto Reguon. However, there was a sudden heavy rain today, blocking the path of Ash and his friends. He didn't don't know what the plan was for him.
Ash couldn't help but gently stroke the hair on Suicune's neck with his hand, "Suicune, what's the matter?"
Suicune looked at Ash, and a splash of water suddenly appeared on her body. The next second, Ash found something appearing in his palm.
He took it in front of his eyes and saw that it was a bell the bigger than the size of his fist, translucent and bluish.
Unfortunately, this thing doesn't make any noise. It should be making a soothing sound of it worked.
"Is this the Clear Bell?"
The next destination for Ash and his party is Ecruteak City, which is an Ancient Capital in the north of the Johto Region and a famous historical and cultural city throughout the whole world!
Seven hundred years ago, Ecruteak City built two towers, separated on the east and west sides, namely the Bell Tower and the Brass Tower.
The two towers were built for the friendship between humans and Pokémon, and the scenery at the top of the towers is even more magnificent. The Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh lived on the top of the Bell Tower on the east side.
However, 150 years ago, the Brass Tower on the west side turned into a sea of flames. The fire burned for three days and three nights, until a heavy rain extinguished the flames. There was not much left of the tower, and it is now called the Burned Tower.
In that fire, three unknown Pokémon were burned to death before they could escape. Fortunately, Ho-Oh descended from the sky and revived them. This is how the three Legendary Beasts Suicune, Entei and Raikou were born!
And this Clear Bell is said to have the ability to summon Ho-Oh!
