—------------------—
Ho-Oh only felt its heart turn cold.
Ash coming before it made Ho-Oh very happy.
But Ash came with Mr. Mammon, and Ho-Oh was not very happy then.
Is this person even human?
The first time they met, he tricked it out of its Suicune and also took three instances of its assistance.
The second time they met, he dragged it into fighting Black Rayquaza, and the third time they met, he dragged it into fighting Dragon Rush Kyurem.
And this was the fourth time they met; not only did he forcibly take its Marshadow, but now he also wanted to take one of its Ho-Oh's Guard members.
However, to maintain its image in front of Ash and the others, Ho-Oh had to swallow the curses that were about to escape its lips.
The only comforting thought was that this young girl also had a pure heart, so it would be like finding an excellent Trainer for its Ho-Oh's Guard member.
Ho-Oh thought silently as it watched Platinum's joyful face.
After all, it had no other choice; this was the price for maintaining Ash's pure heart.
Having understood this, Ho-Oh smiled and nodded at Platinum, signaling her to choose between Raikou and Entei for a challenge.
"Raikou and Entei..."
Platinum's happy yet conflicted gaze continuously shifted between Raikou and Entei.
Raikou and Entei, choosing one from these two was truly a rather troubling matter for Platinum.
In terms of typing alone, Platinum had no main Pokémon of either Electric or Fire typing.
And as for appearance, how should one put it?
Actually, purely in terms of looks, Platinum preferred Suicune of the Ho-Oh's Guard, but Suicune had already been captured by Mr. Mammon.
Moreover, Suicune's typing also overlapped with her Empoleon, so it wasn't very suitable either.
"Mr. Mammon, do you have a recommendation?" After thinking for a moment, Platinum quietly asked Mr. Mammon.
"Raikou is a Pokémon that specializes in special attack, while Entei is more proficient in physical attack, but it's also close to being a mixed attacker."
Mr. Mammon replied to Platinum; if it were him, he wouldn't need to hesitate at all.
"But there's a very important point, Little Light, Entei can learn Holy Fire, which is a Fire-type move only Ho-Oh knows, and as one of the Ho-Oh's Guard, Entei also learned this move from Ho-Oh, do you understand what I mean?"
Holy Fire!
This was originally Ho-Oh's exclusive move, but later Entei could also learn it.
Undoubtedly, it was taught to Entei by Ho-Oh.
Although among the Ho-Oh's Guard, Suicune was the most popular and most favored by Ho-Oh, the Fire-type Entei also had a good affinity with Ho-Oh, so it also obtained the 'right to use' Holy Fire from Ho-Oh.
"I understand." Platinum's beautiful big eyes lit up.
"I choose to challenge Entei!"
Platinum's clear voice carried determination.
Upon hearing Platinum's choice, Raikou looked sympathetically at Entei and stepped back two paces.
Entei, full of tragic resolve, stepped forward and stood opposite Platinum.
"Although she has the right to challenge, ultimately she still has to go through the battle-to-capture step. Can Little Light defeat Entei?"
Misty was very envious of Platinum having the opportunity to capture a Ho-Oh's Guard member, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel some doubt.
After all, that was the legendary Entei.
Ash, meanwhile, took out his Pokédex and aimed it at Entei.
'Beep ~ Entei, Fire type, Volcano Pokémon'
'When it Roars, volcanoes erupt. It is said that it runs back and forth on the road because it cannot fully suppress its overflowing power.'
As the mechanical Pokédex introduction sounded, Ash couldn't help but marvel at Entei's power.
Its Roar can make volcanoes erupt, wow, that's really exaggerated, isn't it?
"Please don't underestimate Little Light. She should be the seventh Elite executive in our organization."
Caitlin held a faint, elegant smile, her beautiful eyes gazing at Platinum's back.
It had to be said that she had a good impression of Platinum.
After all, no matter what, Platinum, like her, was born in the Sinnoh region and both were young ladies from prominent families.
Moreover, Platinum had received a high-level education since childhood and was always poised and polite in her dealings with others, so Caitlin highly approved of Platinum.
And if it weren't for the requirement that a top executive must possess an entire team of Champion-level main Pokémon, Platinum could actually already be a top executive.
"The seventh Elite executive?" Brock was a little confused; he had heard that Team Rockets had a position called Senior Executive.
But were there also Elite executives? It seemed he would have to learn more about it after returning.
After all, no matter what, he was now a temporary member of Team Rockets, right?
"This is a good opportunity to understand Little Light's level. She should be very strong, right?" Ash was very interested.
Paul's strength was already very formidable, and although he didn't want to admit it, currently, he was indeed no match for Paul.
What about this Platinum? She seems to be even stronger than Paul?
"Ash, when Little Light and Paul first joined the organization, in their battle, Paul was utterly defeated by Little Light."
Mr. Mammon's lips curved into a slight smile as he spoke to Ash with a hint of meaning.
Upon hearing this, Ash and his two companions were all surprised. Paul was utterly defeated by Little Light?
"Wow! Is Little Light that amazing?" Ash was shocked, yet also very excited.
Platinum, being so powerful, made him want to battle her.
"Purely in terms of the new generation in the Sinnoh region, Little Light is the most outstanding one, without any doubt."
Mr. Mammon looked at Platinum, his tone betraying a hint of pride.
Well, after all, Platinum was someone he had put some effort into bringing into the organization.
Although the methods weren't exactly honorable, you don't talk about honor, you talk about whether they were effective.
"That strong, huh..."
Misty and Brock gasped. The strongest of the entire Sinnoh region's new generation of Trainers...
"Garchomp! I'm counting on you!"
Platinum looked at Entei, who had taken up a battle stance, her pretty face becoming serious, and she decisively threw out her choice.
Roar~!
A low, majestic dragon Roar sounded, and a strong, fierce Garchomp landed heavily in front of Platinum.
"So cool!" Ash's eyes instantly lit up.
"It's Garchomp, a very precious Pokémon in the Sinnoh region. It's said that Shinoh Champion Cynthia's ace is Garchomp." Brock listed off facts as if they were household treasures.
"Using the Dragon/Ground type Garchomp to battle Entei, this is indeed a very reasonable choice."
Brock then analyzed, stating that purely from a type perspective, it was so.
After all, Dragon has resistance to Fire, and Ground is super effective against Fire.
"Garchomp!"
But Platinum's actions did not end there; she raised her right arm high, and a crystal bracelet adorned her fair, slender wrist.
Beneath the bracelet hung a beautiful gem.
"This is?!" Brock's eyes widened.
Accompanied by Garchomp's majestic Roar, the Key Stone shone brightly, and the Mega Evolution Stone on Garchomp synchronized, a brilliant light of evolution shining forth.
When the light dissipated, a Mega Garchomp, even more ferocious in appearance and more savage in Aura Heart, spread its two alarming blood scythes and roared at Entei.
Mega Evolution!
"Garchomp evolved again??" Misty was dumbfounded.
"This is..." Ash tilted his head in confusion, as if he remembered something.
"Mega Evolution, which transcends evolution. A professor in Kalos previously published a paper, but currently, Mega Evolution is still a method of strengthening mastered by only a very small number of Trainers."
"This is my first time seeing Mega Evolution with my own eyes."
Brock sighed with emotion.
"Amazing~!" Ash was very excited.
"You can exchange for a Mega Evolution Stone in the organization's app, Ash. If you're interested in this, you can exchange for one after accumulating enough merit points, or have Professor Oak get you one."
Mr. Mammon said to Ash with a smile.
"Really? Okay! I'll work hard to accumulate merit points!" Ash was full of motivation.
As for asking Professor Oak?
To be honest, as long as Ash was willing to ask, Professor Oak would likely give him one to take care of him.
After all, Ash was a newcomer who came from under his tutelage, and Professor Oak was also famous for his good temper and for genuinely caring for juniors.
But even though Ash was generally carefree, he also had his pride.
How could he shamelessly ask an elder for something he could obtain through his own efforts?
And then, Platinum's battle to capture Entei officially began.
Undoubtedly, as one of Ho-Oh's Ho-Oh's Guard members, Entei's strength was indeed unquestionably strong, absolutely at a Champion level.
This was already very strong; most wild Legendary Pokémon were actually only at an Elite level.
For example, the three Legendary Birds, the Legendary Giants, the Lake Guardians, and so on, were all just Elite level.
Of course, Elite-level wild Pokémon are actually very powerful in themselves; it's all relative.
However, Mega Garchomp, as Platinum's current ace, already had its combat power reach Champion level, and Mega Evolution further greatly enhanced its combat power.
Especially its offensive power!
For example, it's worth mentioning that Entei started with an astonishing Flamethrower, but Mega Garchomp directly used a Dragon Rush to forcefully break through the Flamethrower head-on.
After this initial clash, Entei probably understood that it was likely no match for its opponent in a head-on confrontation.
Entei then utilized its mobility in battle; Mega Garchomp's speed was clearly inferior to Entei's, especially with Entei also knowing Extreme Speed.
However, under Platinum's excellent command, after a steady and solid fight, Entei finally fell with a last Earthquake.
Platinum decisively threw an Ultra Ball. The Ultra Ball sucked Entei in, shook symbolically only twice, and then settled.
"I caught Entei!"
Even Platinum, at this moment, was incredibly happy, holding Entei's Poké Ball and couldn't help but bounce twice.
Oh my goodness! This was the first Legendary Pokémon she had ever caught!
"This is too fierce...!"
Misty was stunned, looking at the pure and lovely Platinum, and then at the incredibly fierce Mega Garchomp.
Is this the strongest new Trainer of this generation in Sinnoh?
This is truly too fierce!
Even Ash, facing the current Platinum, would probably only suffer a crushing defeat, and could only hope for Ash's future growth.
"Indeed, she's a bit frighteningly strong..." Brock rested his chin on his hand. He now truly felt what it meant to be overwhelmed by talent.
The gap between people can sometimes truly be greater than between a person and a dog.
He wondered if there were any newcomers in their Kanto generation who could compare to such a fierce woman?
