Thinking back, the first time Natsui faced such a legendary Pokémon, he had needed to use tactics of outnumbering it, fighting with all his might just to barely deal with one. But the situation now was completely different. He had the confidence to face them head-on.
Since the beginning of his journey, he had been constantly improving the strength of his Pokémon and expanding his lineup. What for?
Wasn't it to remain undefeated in competitions, to leave no regrets in his professional path, and to not be helpless when faced with a situation like the one before him now?
At this moment, facing such a powerful enemy, with no one else around, he didn't have to worry about anything and could directly play his trump card.
With this thought, he didn't hesitate and reached into his waist pouch, taking out his three Ultra Balls.
It's time for you to make your appearance.
Come on, let the legendary beasts of the Johto region witness the power of the legendary birds of the Kanto region.
The three Ultra Balls trembled slightly in his palm. The Pokémon inside seemed to be telling their trainer, through this method, that they had been waiting for a long time and could no longer hold back.
Throwing the Ultra Balls into the sky, Natsui shouted loudly, "Come on out, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres!"
As the blue light faded, three large bird Pokémon suddenly appeared in mid-air. Then, they spread their wings and soared high into the sky.
The three legendary birds let out a clear cry, circling high above. And the originally clear sky, as if due to their appearance, began to change.
The wind was rising, and it was a dangerous wind…
Entei and Suicune looked up at the three legendary birds, both with grave expressions on their faces.
From these three Pokémon, they felt an aura similar to their own.
However, they didn't want to fight with these dangerous Pokémon. After all, they had only come here to investigate the situation and didn't want to get involved in a meaningless battle.
But now, even if they wanted to leave, it was already too late.
Since he had sent out the three legendary birds, it meant that Natsui wouldn't let them leave so easily.
"Go! Defeat them!"
As Natsui gave the command, the three legendary birds charged straight towards Entei and Suicune.
Faced with the three ferocious birds, how could Entei and Suicune possibly fight them without any reason?
The two legendary beasts fled to the left and right, trying to leave this place. But how could land creatures, no matter how fast, escape from the pursuit of those in the air?
Soon, Entei and Suicune were entangled and forced to fight back.
At this moment, Gengar, Gardevoir, and Charizard had returned to Natsui's side, leaving the battlefield to these legendary Pokémon.
Natsui first recalled Charizard, letting it recover its stamina in its Poké Ball, and then, under the protection of Gardevoir and Gengar, he retreated a dozen or so meters, maintaining a safe distance.
In this battle, Natsui didn't plan to let his regular Pokémon participate. In fact, he had already thought it through. If Entei and Suicune still managed to escape under the siege of the three legendary birds, it would mean his skills were inferior, and these two Pokémon were truly not fated to be with him. He wouldn't send out other Pokémon to chase and block them.
Although that would be a missed opportunity, fighting against evenly matched opponents was also a good chance to train the three legendary birds. At least it wouldn't be a complete loss.
Of course, if nothing unexpected happened, he was very confident in capturing the Entei and Suicune before him.
His thoughts returned to the present. It was clear that, just like Entei and Suicune, the three legendary birds also felt the powerful strength from these two legendary Pokémon. And the two legendary beasts also realized that this battle was unavoidable. Therefore, from the moment they clashed, they both went all out, without holding back.
The crackling sound of explosions echoed through the sky.
The five legendary Pokémon fought in a tangled mess. The power and range of their moves were so great that the entire crystal tower and the nearby crystal forest had become their battlefield.
This time, Natsui had no intention of commanding for the time being, just letting his Pokémon fight freely. It could be said that both sides were truly competing with their own raw strength.
Lightning and fire intertwined, water flowed on the ground, and snowflakes floated in the air, but before they could land, they were melted by the heatwave.
Compared to battles between other Pokémon, a battle between legendary Pokémon like the legendary birds and legendary beasts was clearly more dangerous.
This was not just because the individual strength of legendary Pokémon was greater, but because each of them had certain characteristics.
Like Moltres and Entei, even normally, every flap of their wings, every breath they took, would make the nearby air dry and easily cause a fire.
Articuno would make the surroundings cold and was prone to causing blizzards, while the places Suicune passed would become wet and muddy, filled with water vapor.
Even Zapdos, just like its feathers, would cause a static reaction in creatures that got close to it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
The sounds of fighting and explosions from outside the tower soon caught the attention of Ash and the others inside.
At this moment, they were still entangled with the illusionary Entei, but as they fought, they suddenly noticed what was happening outside the crystal tower and couldn't help but stop in surprise.
"What's going on? Where are those explosions coming from?"
Ash looked up at the ceiling in surprise, but the crystal tower was airtight, and he couldn't see anything.
Among the three, Misty clearly knew Natsui the best. Seeing Ash and Brock's confusion, she said with certainty, "Do you even need to ask? It must be Natsui battling some Pokémon!"
"Natsui?" Ash murmured, "What Pokémon is he fighting…"
With two battles happening simultaneously, Natsui, who was outside, didn't feel much, but the people inside, including the illusionary Entei and Molly, were all distracted to varying degrees.
Returning to the outside of the tower, the battle had now become even more intense.
The entire crystal tower, under the continuous attacks, was constantly trembling. The sky also quickly changed color, with dark clouds piling up. It seemed that as the airflow and moisture changed during the battle, a terrifying thunderstorm was brewing within them.
Finally, with a deafening 'CRACK', a thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking one of the spires of the crystal tower and shattering it.
Countless crystal fragments fell from the sky, and finally, they flushed out Raikou.
To avoid the continuously falling fragments, Raikou had no choice but to jump out from its hiding corner and onto the battlefield.
And looking at this Pokémon that resembled both a leopard and a tiger, a not-unexpected expression appeared on Natsui's face.
In the end, you couldn't stay hidden.
Now, with Raikou's appearance, all three of the legendary beasts are finally gathered.
