"It is a pity, but the power is too weak."
As Damian spoke, an invisible wall of psychic energy blocked the Hydro Pump. The water could not move forward even one inch.
Armored Mewtwo saw that Suicune tried to attack. It slowly raised its arm. Suicune's body began to float up because of the psychic power.
It went up five meters, ten meters, twenty meters... all the way to one hundred meters high.
"This..."
Erika watched carefully. She saw the legendary Suicune being controlled by Armored Mewtwo. Suicune had no power to stop it. How strong was this Mewtwo?
Suicune struggled hard again and again, but it did not help. It never thought that one day it would "fly" so high in the sky.
Gulp...
Even though it was Suicune, it looked down at the ground. Everything looked very small. A strange feeling of panic grew in its heart at that moment.
In the next second, a great force pulled Suicune down. It fell straight down very fast.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion. Suicune hit the ground very hard. The earth shook violently. Thick smoke and dust rose into the air.
This sudden, violent crash was as strong as a powerful ultimate move.
However, Armored Mewtwo's face did not change. It just moved its arm again. Suicune was pulled out of the smoke by psychic power.
Suicune did not look beautiful or bright anymore. Instead, it looked very messy and hurt.
"How is it? Are you more awake now? Making angry sounds at people is not a good habit."
Damian's voice was still very kind.
"Wuu..."
Suicune made a low sound.
"You say Entei and Raikou are not near here? Suicune, lying will bring a hard lesson."
"Wuu!"
Suicune was surprised that this human understood its words. But it still answered Damian.
"Tsk~ So it is really like that. Fine, I will believe you, Suicune."
Damian put his hand on his chin. Suicune told him that Raikou and Entei were truly not in the area.
Suicune felt a bit better in its heart.
"If you swear in the name of Ho-Oh, I will believe you. What do you think?"
"Wuu??"
Suicune's eyes became wide. Swearing in the name of Ho-Oh? This... it felt like that was not necessary, right?
"What? You don't want to? Or are you lying to me, Suicune?"
Damian looked at Suicune with a big smile. Raikou and Entei not nearby? Damian did not believe that at all.
Now, a human with the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh had appeared. The Ho-Oh Guards would surely come to watch this human. In stories, they appeared near Ash.
That was their job. Their observations would decide if Ash was good enough to go to the land at the end of the rainbow.
Ash had not gone to Mount Tensei yet. This meant the Ho-Oh Guards must still be watching Ash.
"..."
Suicune became silent.
"Fine, I understand you want to protect your friends. How about this: can you call Ho-Oh to come here?"
Damian changed his request a little.
"Wuu!!"
Suicune's cry was full of emotion. Wasn't this even worse?
Suicune did not think the enemy was stronger than Ho-Oh. But it could not bother Ho-Oh for such a small thing! Ho-Oh must be very busy. He would not have time for a human whose heart was not pure!
"This won't work, and that won't work either. Suicune, I think I have been too kind to you."
Damian's eyes became thin.
"Wuu!"
Suicune looked at Damian. it was not afraid. It would never give up to dark and evil forces!
"Very good. You have a lot of courage."
Damian raised his eyebrows. He signaled to Armored Mewtwo with his hand.
Lightning began to flash on Armored Mewtwo's body. It fired a shot at Suicune.
It was an Electric-type Thunder attack!
Boom!
The Thunder hit Suicune. Suicune roared in pain. The lightning moved all over Suicune's body.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The Thunder attack did not stop. After five seconds, Suicune was very weak.
Then, the lightning on Armored Mewtwo went away. Suicune fell to the ground with a loud sound.
"Ultra Ball, go."
Damian took out an empty Ultra Ball. He threw it at Suicune.
The Ultra Ball moved in a perfect line and hit Suicune. The ball opened. Suicune turned into red light and went inside.
The capture started!
Erika looked at this and felt excited. This was her first time seeing someone catch a legendary Pokémon.
Beep~
The light on the Ultra Ball flashed once. But only once.
The Ultra Ball was pushed open. Suicune appeared on the ground again.
"It failed."
Erika blinked her eyes.
"Mmm. It is very hard to catch legendary Pokémon. When they don't want to be caught, you might need many balls and still not succeed."
Caitlin explained. Her capture of Tapu Lele was easy.
But that was because Tapu Lele made a deal. If Caitlin won the battle, it would join her. So, it was easy to catch.
But Suicune was different. Suicune did not like Damian. It fought against him in its mind. So, catching it would not be easy.
"Ah?"
Erika was surprised. Dozens of Poké Balls? That was crazy!
After that, Damian tried two more times. But Suicune did not listen to him. It only shook once before breaking out of the Ultra ball.
"Good, good, good. I don't have much patience to play with you."
Damian made a sound with his tongue. He threw another Ultra Ball. It sucked Suicune inside.
"Mewtwo, use psychic power to keep it inside."
Blue light shone in Armored Mewtwo's eyes. Psychic power held the Ultra Ball tightly. Suicune could not break it open.
"??!"
Erika was shocked.
Caitlin also looked at this in surprise. Could you really do that? This way of catching was very wild.
After a short time, the green light on the Ultra Ball turned on. The capture was successful.
"Not bad. Suicune is caught."
Damian picked up the Ultra Ball. He was happy. Suicune wanted to waste many of his Ultra Ball? That was not going to happen.
"Did you learn how to do it? In the future, you can use this move to catch Pokémon. It is very useful for the ones that don't listen."
Damian shook the Ultra Ball in his hand. He spoke to the two girls honestly.
"Is this... right?"
Erika's eyes moved quickly. She asked because she was not sure.
Using a Ultra Ball was the last way for a wild Pokémon to resist. Using psychic power to hold the ball closed seemed very extreme.
"What is not right? I won the battle, so I am its trainer. I just stopped the boring part of throwing many Ultra Ball."
Damian answered. He felt he was right.
Caitlin thought about it. She felt that Damian's words made sense.
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, a loud roar came from nearby.
"Hmm?"
Damian turned his head.
On a hill nearby, a red-brown figure jumped toward them. It landed hard on the ground.
It looked very strong. It had orange-red fur and iron rings on its legs. It had a gold crest on its head and white smoke on its back.
"Entei!"
Erika's eyes were bright. This was Entei! It was a guard like Suicune!
"Roar!"
Entei made an angry sound at Damian.
"What are you shouting for? I beat Suicune and caught it in a normal way."
Damian moved his head a little. Entei told him to let Suicune go. That was a joke.
"Roar!!"
Entei's roar was deeper. It saw everything!
If Suicune was caught normally, it would be okay. Entei would be sad, but it would respect Suicune's choice. But this was different!
"Roar!!!"
"What do you mean Suicune was forced? Entei, I don't like those words."
Damian was surprised.
"The friendship between a trainer and a Pokémon grows during a journey. Today is the first time Suicune and I met. It is normal that it does not like me yet. But I believe it will like me later."
Damian spoke slowly. He said the same thing to Tapu Fini.
"Even though it lost Ho-Oh, it has me now. I will stay with it forever. We will become very good partners."
Entei stopped for a moment. Why did those words sound strange?
Wait, this human was using tricky lies!
"Roar!!"
Entei looked at Damian angrily. It saw what happened. This human made the other Pokémon use psychic power to hold the ball. Suicune would not have been caught normally!
"I just skipped that part. I have two hundred Poké Balls. I would have caught Suicune eventually. I did not want to waste time."
Damian held out his hands to show he was innocent.
Entei stopped again after hearing this.
"I understand that you feel bad about losing a friend. You worked together for a long time. So, I have a way that is good for everyone."
Damian looked at Entei. He smiled.
"Are you worried I will be mean to Suicune? That is not necessary. If you are worried, you should also join my team."
"?"
Entei looked at the human. It was very confused.
What did he mean? He caught Suicune, and now he wanted to catch Entei too?
Entei felt a bad feeling. It felt like it should not have come here.
Armored Mewtwo stepped forward. Its purple eyes looked at Entei coldly.
"A family should be together. Entei, do you know where Raikou is? Why don't you call it here too?"
Damian laughed happily. He was getting two for the price of one. He was worried about how to find Entei and Raikou.
If he caught all the Ho-Oh Guards, he believed Ho-Oh would appear.
If Ho-Oh still did not appear, then that "Big Turkey" was a very bad leader.
