Chapter 469:

The beginning was the content, followed by a typical clickbait-style title commonly used by the content department. Clicking on the video, the scene was indeed at Aogiri Town’s river. The camera zoomed out, recording towards the depths of the forest.

It was clear from the footage that it was shot during sunset, dusk, almost bordering on nightfall.

A figure matching the description gazed from within the forest towards... the direction of the villa.

Judging from the silhouette and posture, this was, without a doubt, Entei...

But it was so big.

Even Kaede was stunned.

Its size was probably only slightly smaller than Dragonite’s. But Dragonite is a bipedal Pokémon, while Entei is quadrupedal!

It looked very much like Entei from Ho-Oh’s guardian trio...

"Everyone, open the comments section and look at the top comment. Is that Entei?!" Akira was still shouting.

Kaede followed his instruction and opened the comments section.

Sure enough, the top comment featured a photo of Entei taken during the daytime, with majestic eyes, an imposing posture, and a magnificent mane.

Clearly, this was the real Entei.

It was almost impossible for an ordinary Pokémon to mimic such a form perfectly.

As soon as this was stated, everyone inside and outside the Breeding House began discussing fervently.

"Holy cow, it really is Entei!"

"No way, guys, a Legendary Pokémon! I’m gonna try to catch it! I want to battle it!"

"??? Bro, have you lost your mind?!"

"Are you kidding? You’re already too late. This morning, I saw quite a few people heading into the forest..."

"Let’s go, let’s go! Anyone want to team up?"

"Better not go. After all, it’s a Legendary Pokémon... it could be very dangerous."

"..."

Instantly, the dozen or so people present split into roughly two groups: one wanting to go capture it, and the other deeming it too dangerous, suggesting the matter should be reported.

But some Trainers simply left without a second thought.

Finally, the remaining people turned their eyes to Kaede.

Undoubtedly, they all tacitly acknowledged Kaede as the strongest Trainer present.

"Uh...."

Kaede shook his head, indicating he wouldn’t offer any opinion on their decision.

A Trainer’s journey inevitably involves danger...

To witness the magnificence of a Legendary Pokémon, one must face the aftermath of their wrath or even confront them directly.

But for most Trainers, the chance to encounter a Legendary Pokémon is exceedingly rare in a lifetime.

They should follow their own hearts.

He turned and left the Breeding House.

Then he went to the plantation, then to the Berry Plantation, finding Serperior, who was tending to the berry trees, and Gardevoir in the kitchen.

That’s right, he also planned to go look. At the very least, with a Legendary Pokémon near the town, he needed to understand why.

Serperior was skilled with Aura, and Gardevoir could help control the situation.

He explained what had just happened.

"Gardevoir?" (Another Legendary Pokémon?)

Gardevoir nodded in understanding, but also seemed surprised.

It had wandered for decades outside without seeing many Legendary Pokémon.

Yet, after settling down, it was encountering them more and more frequently.

Mewtwo aside, there was Mew, Giratina, Rayquaza, and now Entei?

Many beings it had never even heard of before...

"I suspect now that Mew might have brought that Fire Stone that Entei sensed. Because Mew said it ’found’ that stone, but in reality, it was a stone Entei once slept on."

Kaede explained, "If that’s really the reason, then we can’t just let it stay near the Breeding House. Such a powerful Pokémon could easily cause problems."

"Serperior."

"Gardevoir."

Both Gardevoir and Serperior nodded in agreement.

Not to mention the many Pokémon from the Breeding House that often roamed outside, there were also other Trainers’ Pokémon in the area regularly.

It was better to handle this sooner rather than later. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

So, Kaede recalled Serperior into its Poké Ball, then headed out with Gardevoir from the villa’s main gate. Before long, they arrived at the forest entrance.

But now, a group of young Trainers seemed to have gathered at the forest entrance.

Standing by the bridge was Aogiri Town’s police force, Officer Jenny, accompanied by a small squad and two Arcanine...

Well, one of them was indeed his own Arcanine.

Even Uncle Ryo’s Lucario was stationed atop a large tree.

Clearly, the moment the news spread, the League had implemented corresponding measures.

The allure of capturing a Legendary Pokémon was strong, but the dangers were also immense. That’s why the League set up this checkpoint at the Aogiri Forest entrance, to prevent most Trainers from impulsively rushing in.

Of course, this form of barrier couldn’t stop all Trainers. After all, those with Water-type or Flying-type Pokémon could easily enter from other locations.

The League’s role here was primarily advisory; the final choice to enter or not remained with the individual.

As Kaede moved a bit closer, he could hear the conversations among the onlooking Trainers.

"When will they open it up..."

"Looks like Entei is really there, even Officer Jenny is out."

...

Officer Jenny currently also had a headache.

News about Entei had been circulating for days, but confirmation came only today. The League branch directly under Aogiri City immediately requested instructions from higher-ups.

The command from above was that the Ice-type Elite Four member would enter the forest to handle the situation.

However, she wasn’t in Aogiri City at the moment. Until she arrived, they should try to prevent Trainers from entering to avoid provoking Entei’s anger.

That would be a huge problem.

In this weather, with Entei being a Fire-type, even a casual Flamethrower could potentially start a forest fire.

But it seemed people’s enthusiasm exceeded her expectations.

And now, the Ice-type Elite Four member still hadn’t arrived.

"Woof!"

Just as she was feeling troubled, the Arcanine beside her suddenly barked.

Officer Jenny was startled, then looked in the direction of Arcanine’s gaze and saw Kaede approaching.

Along with him, coming from behind, was the Ice-type Elite Four member. Seeing this, Officer Jenny let out a sigh of relief.

With the main person here, she wouldn’t have to worry so much about the rest.
