Late at night, Satoshi and Masaki were waiting together for the arrival of the mysterious Pokémon, while Kasumi, Shizuka, and Takeshi had been told to go to sleep by Satoshi. In this sense, Satoshi was quite considerate.
The fog gradually spread, and Satoshi came to Masaki's side with two cups of coffee. "Here, warm yourself up," he said.
Masaki took the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste eased his sleepiness. "Thank you, no wonder Dr. Okido always says you're good at taking care of people."
"It's nothing, I just don't want to worry Mom."
"You're really amazing. But I wonder if we'll be successful this time?" Although he said that, Masaki still had some doubts in his heart.
Satoshi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to believe in yourself. Haven't you been getting through it like this all along?"
Hearing Satoshi's words, Masaki was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You're right, Satoshi. If I don't even persist, then all my previous efforts will be in vain..."
Then, with his confidence restored, Masaki and Satoshi started chatting about many things, such as Masaki's long-held desire to understand the thoughts of Pokémon, and his gratitude to Meowth for his research assistance.
And so, after a while, a sound like a ballad came from the distant sea.
"It's here! Quick Satoshi, help me start it up!"
"Okay, let's go! Beedrill, Pidgeot, you guys start moving now!"
"Bee!"
"Oom!"
The two flying Pokémon flew directly towards the distance, while Meowth and Pikachu went to wake up Kasumi and the others.
Kasumi: "What's wrong? What's wrong?!"
Shizuka: "What happened?!"
Takeshi: "Look! That's..."
A huge figure was walking towards the lighthouse. At this time, the three members of Team Rocket were slowly climbing up the cliff below Masaki's lighthouse. They also saw the huge figure.
Meowth: "So big meow?!"
James: "It's coming this way!"
Jessie: "That's perfect! Catch it!"
Just as Jessie raised her rocket launcher to fire, Pidgeot and Beedrill charged forward. Beedrill used Missile Needle, while Pidgeot launched a powerful Gale, and under the combined attack, the three members of Team Rocket were blasted away.
"This feeling is so annoying!" *3
Seeing their mission complete, Pidgeot and Beedrill looked at each other, then flew back to Satoshi's side. At this time, the giant figure was getting closer and closer, but after reaching a certain distance, it stopped and called out in confusion, as if it were about to leave.
"Boss, he said that wasn't the call of a companion, meow!"
Hearing Meowth's words, Masaki knew they were about to fail. But just as he was about to give up, Satoshi shouted, "Serve it up! Lift the cloth!"
"Bee!" "Pika!" "Lee!" "Oom!" "Waa!" "Ree!" "Jenny!" "Seed!" "Serving it up meow!"
As the lid of the big pot was lifted, a rich and fragrant aroma began to waft everywhere. The giant figure stopped after smelling the aroma.
"Secretly brewed, Century-Old Delicious Soup! Free tasting!"
With Satoshi's shout, the giant figure quickly walked over. In the light, Satoshi and the others finally saw its true form – a giant Dragonite!
"Amazing! I finally saw you! So you're a Dragonite!" Masaki was now so excited that he was almost beside himself. Dragonite didn't look at him, but at Satoshi, although its eyes kept glancing at Satoshi's soup.
Satoshi smiled and said, "Drink it! But after you finish, I need you to have a battle with my Pikachu! Okay?"
Dragonite originally wanted to refuse when it heard it was Pikachu, but when it saw the Pikachu on Satoshi's shoulder, it paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Thanks!"
Then Satoshi stepped aside, and Dragonite reached out to pick up the pot of soup and poured it into its mouth.
"Woo~"
With Dragonite's contented cry, Satoshi knew it was satisfied. After finishing the soup, Dragonite looked at Pikachu.
"Woo~"
"Ready, Pikachu? This guy might have already reached the level of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon."
"Pika Pika!"
Pikachu looked at Dragonite with fighting spirit. The training it had been doing with Satoshi all along was about to show its results.
"Go, Pikachu! Quick Attack to get close to it, then use Thunderbolt!"
"Pikachu!!!"
With the huge bolt of lightning charging towards Dragonite, the seemingly destined battle began.
The giant Dragonite continuously blasted Dragon Pulse, causing the beach to be covered in craters. However, for the agile Pikachu, this was all just child's play. Pikachu dodged the Dragon Pulse while unleashing Thunderbolt, and these attacks on Dragonite caused it to let out a painful roar.
As spectators, Kasumi and the others, as well as Satoshi's Pokémon, were witnessing this battle that could be recorded in history.
"If Pikachu gets hit once, we'll lose! So don't stop! Charge forward! Use all your moves to bombard it!"
"Pikachu!!!"
Looking at this battle of such a vast difference in size, Kasumi stared at Satoshi's back and said, "So, Satoshi's Pikachu is that strong?"
Shizuka also spoke in disbelief, "Could it be that Satoshi's Pikachu has already reached the pinnacle of a Champion?!"
Meowth was calmly recording the battle with its instruments.
"Although it's hard to believe, but Pikachu is the first Pokémon to follow the Boss, so Pikachu has received the most training from the Boss. That's why Pikachu has mastered all the Electric-type moves the Boss has created, meow."
Takeshi asked uncertainly, "All Electric-type moves?"
"That's right meow, so Pikachu's strength reached the peak of a Champion a long time ago meow. Now, the Boss probably wants to help Pikachu cross that threshold, meow."
"Electric Terrain! Thunder! Thunderbolt! Hyper Beam! Million Volt! Use all your moves! Pikachu, you don't need to hold back now! Use all the power you've been building up and storing!"
"Pikachu!!!!!"
Endless lightning raged across the sea, powerful bolts of electricity intertwined, and giant Hyper Beams never stopped.
By now, Pikachu and Dragonite's battle had reached a fever pitch. Lightning and breaths clashed and exploded continuously. Pikachu and Dragonite were also getting closer and closer.
"Pikachu, now! Bao. Sakiruga!"
With Satoshi's roar, Pikachu also launched its strongest control skill, Bao. Sakiruga, which it had researched together with Satoshi.
Then, following Pikachu's lightning, a gigantic thunder dragon assembled and appeared in the sky. It opened its huge mouth and bit down on the giant Dragonite. As the thunder dragon chewed, endless lightning filled Dragonite's entire body.
"Woo~~"
With the giant Dragonite's cry of pain and its pause, Pikachu seized this opportunity to charge into the sky.
"This is the final move! Holy Sword. Thunder!"
"Pikachu!"
As the lightning from the sky and Pikachu's own lightning converged on its tail, Pikachu's tail, ablaze with electric light, charged towards the giant Dragonite. The giant Dragonite also spewed its incredibly powerful breath.
With the endless lightning and the momentary brilliance, the two energies collided. Pikachu thought of all the moments it had shared with Satoshi and its body burst with even stronger power. It had crossed that threshold. As Pikachu stepped into that realm, its tail shone with a golden light, then sliced through the Dragon Breath and flashed past the giant Dragonite.
The giant Dragonite's body paused slightly after being grazed by the dazzling flash, then it collapsed. Pikachu looked at the fallen giant Dragonite, let out a weary smile, then fell from the sky.
"Pidgeot's over there!"
"Bee!"
As Pikachu began to fall, Satoshi had already ridden Pidgeot to his side, grabbing him in his arms.
"Pika Pi..."
Seeing Pikachu seemingly asking him something, Satoshi looked at the giant Dragonite lying in the sea and said, "Don't worry, we won."
"Pika!"
Hearing this, Pikachu stretched out its finger and made a victory gesture. Then, it fell asleep in Satoshi's arms. Satoshi, smiling, held Pikachu and took out a Premier Ball, throwing it towards Dragonite.
As the giant Dragonite entered the Premier Ball, Satoshi stared intently at the descending ball. Only after it was completely captured did Satoshi wave his hand to Beedrill, who had been waiting, and Beedrill brought the Poké Ball containing the giant Dragonite back and handed it to Satoshi.
"Giant Dragonite, captured!"
Satoshi raised the Premier Ball and looked at Kasumi and the others. And what about them? They were completely dumbfounded.
