Chapter 472:

"You don’t want to go? Why?" Rosaline was taken aback.

Kaede had just said that by passing the trial, Ho-Oh would grant his Pokémon miraculous power!

If this had happened during her travels, she would definitely have been the first to rush over.

Ho-Oh is a Pokémon from mythical legends, even depicted on stone tablets in the Kanto region.

Yet even so, Kaede still didn’t want to go?

"It’s too troublesome."

But Kaede’s next sentence made her suddenly understand.

From his perspective, it indeed seemed a bit troublesome.

He was a shop owner, and with so many Pokémon to take care of, going on a trip would be very inconvenient.

Moreover, from what he had just described, Kaede’s... Pokémon didn’t seem to lack so-called miraculous power.

He himself was a miraculous existence.

A pointless question.

Rosaline didn’t want to say anything more.

She felt somewhat angry but couldn’t find the reason for her anger.

So, she simply called out, "Mr. Rime, Froslass, let’s go."

Kaede didn’t say anything either.

After all, this matter originated because of him.

Since Suicune had already appeared, Entei was probably nearby as well.

He just didn’t know why it hadn’t shown itself.

Kaede looked at Serperior, who nodded.

It meant that its Aura could still detect traces of the previous Pokémon and asked if they should continue searching.

Lin Feng, however, shook his head. "No need. Let’s go home first. Finding them probably won’t help much. We’ll look for another Pokémon!"

...

But once back home, Kaede immediately changed his mind again.

The other Pokémon he mentioned was naturally Marshadow, besides Ho-Oh’s guardian trio.

It was the overseer of the Rainbow Hero trial and Ho-Oh’s guardian.

Since Entei and Suicune had already appeared, it must also be hiding in his shadow by now.

Hmm...

He decided not to go looking for Marshadow.

In theory, the Rainbow Trial process involved following the guidance of the Rainbow Feather to embark on a quest to find Ho-Oh.

Along the way, he would encounter Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.

If, during the journey, the Rainbow Feather was taken by someone with ill intentions, or if the holder’s heart turned dark, then Marshadow would control the Pokémon and reclaim the Rainbow Feather.

So the solution was simple: as long as he didn’t set out, why bother talking to Marshadow?

If he dragged it out until Marshadow grew impatient, it would probably show itself, right?

Even if it didn’t, if this dragged on long enough, it would eventually leave, wouldn’t it?

As for the commotion caused by the three guardians, let it brew. Those three Legendary Pokémon were Ho-Oh’s guardians; they wouldn’t just go around causing destruction.

Having settled on this idea, Lin Feng glanced at his own shadow, wondering if his [Eye of Exploration] could detect a Pokémon hidden within the shadow.

The result was yes.

His eyes lit up. Looking at Marshadow’s status panel within the shadow, an idea began to form...

"Oh... it is Level 99? Perfect for trying... to see if this will work..."

.....

The developments over the next few days unfolded just as he predicted.

Entei, Raikou, and the previously seen Suicune—the three Legendary Pokémon—were occasionally spotted in Aogiri Forest, Aogiri Town, or even out in the fields.

This caused an absolute sensation, like an earthquake!

The news spread far and wide!

From one person to two, from two to four. Combined with the League’s typical stance toward Legendary Pokémon—choosing peaceful coexistence as long as they don’t harm humans, and even trying to meet their reasonable demands by investing in suitable habitats to encourage them to stay—the situation escalated.

The Eastova League was most famous for its known, permanently residing Legendary Pokémon: Regigigas!

It was said to dwell in the Titan Mountains of Eastova’s northeastern region, possessing the limitless power to move continents.

It lived in seclusion deep in the mountains but had once appeared during an unprecedented massive earthquake in the Kawasho region. Faced with a catastrophe beyond human and ordinary Pokémon power, it acted like a savior, plunging its hands into the earth, and the earthquake gradually subsided.

Since then, the Eastova League’s attitude toward Legendary Pokémon had been exceedingly friendly.

Not to mention a being like Regigigas, other Legendary Pokémon also existed within the Eastova region.

The League had even established certain relationships with some Legendary Pokémon groups.

For example, the Champion’s Moltres served as a link. When the other party’s group needed help, the Eastova League would dispatch specific Trainers with technological support.

And when humans needed their assistance, they wouldn’t stand idly by.

In the northeastern region, the three Regis were also quite famous.

In the mountainous areas where Regigigas resided, people often claimed to see Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

There were even rumors of someone capturing Regice, one of the Regis.

The truth of these rumors was hard to verify, but it showed that even some Legendary Pokémon weren’t entirely unapproachable. If you possessed a certain quality that attracted them, you might even be able to capture a Legendary Pokémon!

And so, the current situation unfolded.

After the news spread widely, it mostly attracted Trainers currently on their journeys.

Trainers from all over, upon learning this, were not just excited—they were practically ecstatic, rushing to the area from various League regions.

Apart from wanting to witness the Legendary Pokémon’s majesty, they also wondered if they themselves had a destined connection with these legendary beings.

Most Trainers arriving in Aogiri Town with this mindset were quite capable.

Thus, in these days, it was common to see two Trainers battling by the roadside.

However, this kept Officer Jenny extremely busy.

When both Trainers’ Pokémon were strong, street damage was sometimes unavoidable. According to regulations, the losing Trainer in a registered battle would have to pay for repairs.

This was the Eastova League’s long-standing rule. But with more people, there were always some Trainers who didn’t follow the rules.

That’s when Officer Jenny was needed.

With her two Arcanine, she patrolled majestically. Anyone who disobeyed would basically get hauled back.

Such incidents were rare, though, because besides the under-construction Ice-type Gym, Kaede was also there.

If Arcanine couldn’t catch them, there is still Kaede helping.

Moreover, recently, League investigator Trainers had also been dispatched to the police station. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After a few such incidents, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.

And so, after many days passed like this, finally, a "Pokémon" couldn’t sit still any longer.
