"You humans… how dare you disturb my solitude? It seems you're quite reckless."
Suicune spoke through telepathy at that moment.
Hearing its words, Ash stepped forward directly, took out his Poké Ball, and declared,
"Suicune, I'm here to catch you. Surrender to me!"
After he said these words, Sabrina and Misty beside him showed excited expressions.
Brock also looked thrilled.
They might not be the ones catching a Legendary Pokémon, but for them, it was still incredibly exciting because Ash was right there with them.
When Suicune heard someone actually dared to try and catch it, it burst out laughing.
After a moment, it spoke through telepathy again.
Just you? Wait… what is that on your body?
Just as it finished speaking, Suicune suddenly sensed something unusual.
It spoke with slight surprise.
Hearing its words, Brock answered from the side,
"He's the Rainbow Hero! Ash is the Rainbow Hero, and it's his destiny to catch you."
"And it's your destiny to be caught by him."
Hearing these words, Suicune was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, it showed a hint of wariness.
After hesitating for a moment, it looked at Black Ash and said,
So that's it. But even if you are the Rainbow Hero, I won't surrender to you easily. Let's battle.
As its voice fell, Suicune sprayed out a powerful Hydro Pump. The violent force surged forward.
Everyone saw this scene and showed panicked expressions.
Only Ash actually took a step forward and pointed his fist forward.
"Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!"
As his words fell, Pikachu beside him suddenly leaped in front of him. The next moment, massive lightning sprayed forward.
The attacks of both sides collided in mid-air, roaring loudly.
But after the attack subsided, everyone suddenly discovered that Pikachu had blocked the opponent's attack.
And Pikachu was completely unharmed.
In the sky, Suicune showed anger upon seeing its attack easily deflected.
It gathered power once more.
Blizzard!
A massive snowstorm surged forward.
Everything before them was gradually covered in ice and snow.
Seeing the opponent trying to change the battlefield's conditions, Ash no longer hesitated.
He pointed at Suicune opposite and shouted,
"Pikachu, use your power! Use Thunderbolt!"
Electric-type moves were super effective against Water-types.
Therefore, Ash using Pikachu gave him a type advantage over Suicune.
But generally, such advantages didn't have much effect in battles between ordinary Pokémon and Legendaries.
However, at this moment, for Pikachu, these advantages would be maximized.
Pikachu gathered massive amounts of lightning, and violent electricity sprayed directly forward. The thick lightning beam almost instantly appeared before Suicune.
Lightning struck Suicune's body, causing it to show a pained expression.
Perhaps ordinary Electric-types wouldn't pose much threat to Suicune—they could even be completely ignored.
But Pikachu's power exceeded its imagination.
"Now, Pikachu! Use Thunder!"
As his words fell, lightning began to gather in the sky.
Then it transformed into terrifying thunder, instantly striking down.
A rumbling sound echoed as everyone looked up.
What greeted their eyes was surging lightning striking Suicune directly.
Suicune showed a pained expression.
But as a Legendary Pokémon, it didn't fall from this. Instead, it raised its head and looked at Pikachu opposite.
Hydro Pump!
Terrifying water sprayed forth, incredibly powerful.
Facing such an attack, Pikachu rushed forward without dodging.
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!" Ash shouted loudly.
Pikachu charged through the massive Hydro Pump.
At the same moment, it appeared before Suicune.
Its tail gleamed with metallic light.
Then it slammed forward fiercely.
With a resounding boom,
Pikachu's tail struck Suicune's head, the impact causing Suicune's body to tremble.
But facing this attack, Suicune wasn't defeated. Instead, it showed an angry expression.
Secret Power!
As Suicune used Secret Power, a powerful force began to surround the area and surge forward.
Pikachu was struck and sent flying, landing on the ground.
At this moment, Pikachu looked up into the distance, its eyes blazing with surging fighting spirit.
It knew it was facing a Legendary Pokémon—an existence that surpassed ordinary Pokémon.
Logically, only Legendary Pokémon could fight Legendary Pokémon.
But for Pikachu, it knew its strength was enough to change everything.
At this moment, Ash also took off his cap.
[Caitlin]: It's happening—Ash is going to use that move!
[Cynthia]: A Z-Move, right? It seems Ash is very confident about catching Suicune.
[Diantha]: But why doesn't Ash use his other Legendary Pokémon? If he used a Legendary, he could catch Suicune easily, right?
[Lance]: This is Ash's own choice. Clearly, he doesn't want to use a Legendary to catch a Legendary. He wants to use his own power to fully earn the Legendary before him.
In the Black World —
Ash threw his cap forward, and Pikachu leaped onto it as fast as lightning.
The moment Pikachu put on the cap, a strange force condensed around it. This was the power of the Z-Move.
At this moment, Ash looked up at Suicune opposite.
And Suicune stared directly back at Ash.
At this moment, they both knew the next attack would be their most powerful—and their final clash.
"Pikachu, let's go! Use Gigavolt Havoc!"
Ash shouted loudly, a burning light in his eyes.
Terrifying power condensed on Pikachu. Lightning of seven different colors gathered and suddenly erupted forward.
Suicune on the opposite side cast a powerful Ice Beam at that same moment.
The attacks of both sides collided the next instant, unleashing a terrifying roar that spread to the surroundings.
Misty and the others in the distance couldn't help but step back a few paces, staring with burning eyes at this scene. They all felt shocked and amazed.
[Brock]: Is he going to win?
[Misty]: Don't worry—Ash will definitely win.
[Caitlin]: That's true. Others might not be certain, but if it's Ash, we can be sure.
[Diantha]: The result of this clash is about to be revealed.
In the Black World —
As the light slowly dissipated, the lightning and ice beam gradually faded.
When everyone could finally see clearly, they suddenly discovered that Suicune across from them was covered with traces of lightning strikes.
And it was already lying on the ground, motionless.
Clearly, Pikachu's move had completely defeated Suicune.
"Great! Ash won!"
Misty showed an excited expression. Although she had known Ash could win, she was still the most excited when he actually did.
Beside her, Sabrina also showed a happy smile.
At this moment, Ash had finally caught his second of the Legendary Beasts.
Brock stepped forward, looked at Suicune before them, and examined it up and down.
"With this graceful posture and the powerful aura emanating from it… truly worthy of being Suicune."
Brock said excitedly.
But Ash didn't say anything. He simply stepped forward, took out his Poké Ball, and gently tapped it on Suicune's head.
With a flash of red light, Suicune was sealed inside the Poké Ball and remained motionless.
"I successfully caught Suicune!"
Ash said excitedly at that moment. At this point, he had collected two of the three Legendary Beasts.
As for the last Legendary Beast, luck would be needed to encounter it.
After all, the Legendary Beasts were different from other Legendary Pokémon—they roamed across the world.
This meant that encountering them required a great deal of luck.
Ash had encountered two of them consecutively and had even completely defeated them.
Then, meeting the last Legendary Beast was only a matter of time.
Others also understood this and were somewhat surprised.
But amidst the surprise, there was also a sense of inevitability.
They thought it was only natural that Black Ash could catch two—or even all three—of the Legendary Beasts in the future.
[Caitlin]: With two Legendary Beasts now, Black Ash will probably collect the remaining one soon, and then challenge Ho-Oh.
[Cynthia]: What is our Ash doing now?
[Ash]: I'm already on my way to Lilycove City. I'll get there soon.
[Brock]: Yes, our travel speed should be similar to Black Ash's, but we haven't encountered anything like this.
[Professor Oak]: You haven't tried going inside that waterfall. Just in case—maybe the Legendary Beasts are inside.
[Lance]: That's right. Since Black Ash found Suicune there, there's no reason White Ash couldn't find it too.
[Lorelei]: So Ash, go and catch that Suicune!
[Steven Stone]: Ash, we believe in you. You'll definitely succeed.
[Flint]: I might not believe it in others, but if it's Ash, he'll definitely succeed.
With everyone's encouragement, Ash also approached the waterfall.
At this moment, his current situation appeared on the screen in the sky.
