"Where is the Pokémon Center around here?" Gary asked.
"I know, there's one over there." Jimmy pointed in the direction behind him. They had just come from the Pokémon Center.
Gary nodded, took out an Ultra Ball, and put Raikou inside.
"Huh?"
"Gary, what are you doing?"
Jimmy and Marina were confused. Shouldn't they send Raikou for treatment?
How could he take out the Poké Ball to capture it?
"Don't get me wrong, Raikou is too heavy, and it's too troublesome to move it. Putting it in the Poké Ball will make it easier to transport. After Raikou is treated, it will leave by itself," Gary explained.
Jimmy and Marina had nothing to say about the reason given by Gary.
He was right. Putting a Pokémon into a Poké Ball is not a real capture it can only be tamed.
During the explanation, the Ultra Ball stopped shaking, indicating that the capture was successful.
[Ding! Task released: Conquer the three sacred beasts of Ho-Oh Guards/Rewards: For every one of the three sacred beasts conquered, you will be rewarded with Gold Bottle Cap x1; for all conquered, you will be rewarded with God's Crown x1 and Master Rare Candy x10!]
[Ding! Conquer Raikou, one of the three sacred beasts of Ho-Oh Guards, and the reward has been distributed to the space backpack.]
The system immediately released the task, which was similar to the task released when conquering the three legendary birds, and the reward was the same.
Gary immediately picked up the Poké Ball, put the Pokémon except Zapdos and Gengar into their Poké Balls, then jumped onto Zapdos and flew quickly in the direction Jimmy pointed.
Jimmy and Marina could only run back.
Gary took advantage of this gap to look at Raikou's attributes.
[Pokémon: Raikou]
[Attribute: Electric]
[Level: 80]
[Potential: Legend]
[Ability: Pressure (When the rival uses skills, it will consume more energy.)]
[Skills: Leer, Charge, Depth, Click, Quick Attack, Spark, Bite, Calm Mind, Roar, Thunder Fang, Howl, Crunch, Extrasensory, Release, Reflect, Rain Dance, Thunder, Zap Cannon.]
[Intimacy: 110 (maximum value 255)]
Gary was quite surprised that Raikou had a high intimacy with him.
He remembered that in the original story, Raikou's favorability towards humans was not high.
When Jimmy saved it for the first time, it didn't look kindly at him.
It was only after being rescued for the second time that it realized Jimmy wanted to help it, which made it more docile.
It seems that after Raikou was absorbed by the crystal device this time, it recognized that Gary saved it, which resulted in such a high intimacy.
Gary was not sure whether Raikou was willing to follow him, so he taught it all the skills he could first.
Even if Raikou was unwilling to follow him, it was good to have a good relationship with the Legendary Pokémon.
Raikou's skill pool was still very broad. Gary taught Raikou 8 skills and raised its intimacy to 190.
This level of intimacy might make Raikou willing to follow him.
Raikou, who was level 80, was absolutely terrifying and could definitely compete with all the current champions of Trump Card Pokémon.
Zapdos quickly arrived at the nearby Pokémon Center, and regardless of the gazes of the people around him, he quickly entered the Pokémon Center and handed Raikou to Nurse Joy for treatment.
Joy was also confused. She didn't understand how a teenager could capture Raikou, but she knew that Raikou was a Legendary Pokémon, so she didn't dare to delay and quickly prepared the highest-standard treatment room for Raikou.
Gary stayed outside and observed Raikou's condition through the glass window.
About ten minutes later, Jimmy and Marina also arrived.
"Gary, is Raikou okay?" Jimmy asked about Raikou's condition as soon as he arrived.
"It's okay he is slowly absorbing power and recovering. I believe he will wake up soon," Gary said.
Jimmy and Marina finally felt relieved after hearing Gary's answer.
Then, the three of them talked about their recent trips and why they came here.
Marina only wanted to be a celebrity and had no interest in being a Trainer. She just ran around and went wherever she could.
As for coming here, it was naturally because she knew that Jimmy and Vincent were going to participate in this Silver Conference, so she came to watch the game.
Jimmy was going to Blackthorn City to collect badges, but before collecting badges, he fought in the suburbs to improve the strength of his Pokémon.
It must be said that Jimmy's growth rate was very fast.
After not seeing him for a while, his Typhlosion level had grown to level 42, which was enough to show his edge at the Alliance Conference.
However, it was still very difficult to enter the top 16. After all, Gary didn't know which Pokémon Jimmy had captured so far.
The last time he fought with Jimmy, Jimmy only used Beedrill and Donphan, plus Typhlosion, a total of only 3 Pokémon.
While everyone was chatting, Raikou woke up.
He wanted to resist, but when he saw Gary and the other two outside through the window, he gave up the struggle and lay down on the bed to rest.
"Raikou is awake I'll go call Joy over." Marina immediately ran to call Joy.
Joy rushed over immediately after learning that Raikou had woken up and wanted to conduct a comprehensive examination of Raikou, but was warned by Raikou with a growl.
"Raikou, Nurse Joy just wants to check your physical condition; there's no harm," Jimmy said.
Raikou didn't believe Jimmy's persuasion and still maintained a very vigilant attitude.
Gary also walked in, ignoring Raikou's growl, and took the initiative to walk in front of Raikou and said, "Raikou, don't worry these machines are not crystal devices. They can help you restore the electricity in your body; you should be able to feel it."
After hearing Gary's words, Raikou calmed down and stopped growling.
Seeing this, Gary continued, "Nurse Joy, let me check Raikou."
"Okay, I'll tell you," Joy said, explaining how to use the testing equipment.
Raikou's injuries had actually recovered, and he just needed to be checked.
The testing equipment was also very simple to use.
Joy explained it once, and Gary used it.
Jimmy and Marina watched from the side, envious in their hearts.
They didn't understand why Raikou only got close to Gary when they both helped to rescue Raikou.
Raikou was indeed a Legendary Pokémon.
When his physical strength was restored, his power was also restored quickly.
In just half an hour, the power in Raikou's body was fully restored, so Raikou planned to leave.
Joy was still a little worried, but she couldn't stop Raikou.
Gary didn't stop Raikou from leaving and took the initiative to take Raikou out of the back door of the Pokémon Center.
"Raikou, next time you see a crystal device, don't use electric skills indiscriminately," Gary reminded.
Although the crystal device was destroyed, there was no guarantee that Team Rocket would not create another one.
