Chapter 48: Suicune and sour

Back in Ecruteak City. "Okay" said Eusine. "We are going to the Tin Tower".

We got to the Gate that opens the path to get to Tin Tower. It was guarded by a Sage. "Only the chosen few may go through" said the Sage. I held up the Clear Bell. "Oh, okay. You may enter if you beat me".

The Sage sent out Noctowl. I sent out Graveler. Graveler used Rollout, which did quite a bit to Noctowl. Noctowl came back with Peck, but Graveler took it out with another Rollout.

Next was Flareon. Flareon used Bite, but Graveler finished it with a Rollout.

"You may go through" said the Sage. I looked at Eusine. "Only select few may enter. Eusine, you are forbidden." Eusine got to his knees. "Unbelievable" he said, a tear rolling down his eye. "My quest for Suicune is over."

I walked through the path that took me to Tin Tower where I saw another Sage. "So, you want to Suicune? Let me test you."

He sent out Noctowl. I sent out Typhlosion. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel on Noctowl, which did quite a bit. Noctowl came back with Peck, but Typhlosion came back with one more Flame Wheel and knocked out Noctowl.

The Sage then used Jolteon. Jolteon used Double Kick and Typhlosion came back with Flame Wheel. Jolteon then used Thunder Shock, but Typhlosion finished it off with one more Flame Wheel.

I finally got inside the Bell Tower. I looked up to see the multiple stories of the tower. It was very high.

"Yes, this is the surviving Tower". I looked behind me to see another Sage. "You know the story. Two pagodas towered Ecruteak, but one was burned down. This is where Ho-oh perched and where you will meet Suicune again, after you beat me that is."

The Sage sent out Noctowl. This time I used Ampharos. Noctowl used Peck, but that didn't do much. Ampharos used Thunderpunch and knocked it out in one.

The Sage then used Vaporeon. Ampharos used Thunderpunch again, which did a lot. Vaporeon came back with Water Gun, but Ampharos finished it off.

"Very good" said the Sage. "Put the Clear Bell up on the hanger". I did. I hung it over and a wind started blowing. "The north wind is here" said the Sage. From a higher storey, Suicune jumped down. "Your time has come Suicune." I eyed Suicune. This was going to be a battle for the ages.

First I sent out Venomoth. Venomoth used Stun Spore to paralyze Suicune, which worked. Suicune couldn't move that turn. Venomoth then used Confusion, which hit Suicune for a bit. Suicune used Roar, forcing Venomoth out of the battle and sending out Typhlosion.

I decided to just go with it. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel, which didn't do much. Suicune used Water Gun back, which took away a 1/3 of Typhlosion's health. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel again, but Suicune came back with a Critical Hit Water Gun, knocking out Typhlosion.

I used Graveler. Graveler used Magnitude on it, Magnitude 5. This didn't do much. Suicune used Water Gun, which really gave Graveler a soaking. Graveler used Rock Throw, but Suicune finished it off with one more Water Gun.

I sent out Venomoth again. Suicune used Gust, which took a fair bit away from Venomoth. Venomoth came back with Gust, though Suicune took it down with one more Gust.

After sending out Ampharos, I knew enough was enough. I threw an Ultra Ball.

One shake.

It escaped!

Suicune used Water Gun on Ampharos, which Ampharos shrugged off. Time for another Ultra Ball.

One shake.

Two shakes.

Three shakes.

I CAUGHT IT!

I had actually caught a Legendary Pokémon. This was, wow. I don't have the words for it.

As I walked out of Tin Tower, I looked at the top to see a massive orange Pokemon with large wings.

Ho-oh

248

Fire/Flying Type

Rainbow Pokémon

12'06" (3.8 m)

438.7 lbs (199 kg)

Legends claim this Pokémon flies the worlds skies continuously on its magnificent seven-coloured wings.

Legendary Pokémon.

As it flew off, a rainbow appeared and a feather flew down. I picked it up. This would be a day to remember.

As I sat outside Ecruteak City that night, I could see Eusine in a slump. I checked up on him. "I have been a bit of a harsh person" he said. "It turns out you were the one for Suicune. I was just so fascinated by it that I would stop at nothing to make it mine. I guess it wasn't my true calling." He stood up. "I know the next step of my life. I am going to teach at Johto University in Legendary studies." I smiled. "I owe you an apology and thank you". With that, he went off.

I have things to do to. I guess I better head on to Blackthorn City.
