In an instant, the eyes of these Trainers revealed expressions of extreme excitement and fervor.
Their gazes involuntarily turned toward the human youth standing before the two Legendary Pokémon.
The youth walked calmly to Nurse Joy and presented his Pokédex.
That Trainer... who is he?
To actually be able to capture such powerful Legendary Pokémon like Entei and Raikou!
Gazes of shock, envy, and disbelief were directed at Fuyuki.
Almost simultaneously, a series of notifications popped up on his panel.
[Minni is incredibly shocked that you captured Legendary Pokémon, shock points from Minni +100!]
[Mihi is greatly surprised that you captured Legendary Pokémon, shock points from Mihi+150!]
[——]
Just as he expected; in fact, he had already harvested a wave of shock points while riding Raikou through the streets of Pewter City just now.
Fuyuki was quite happy; this way, he would have the resources for raising Squirtle and Gastly.
However, Fuyuki didn't show his feelings. He reached out to take back the Pokédex from Nurse Joy and thanked her.
"Thank you for your help, Nurse Joy."
Nurse Joy glanced at the data on the computer—Fuyuki, a Trainer from Pallet Town.
Curiosity filled her eyes. "It's truly incredible. This is the first time I've seen Legendary Pokémon captured by a human Trainer!"
She would definitely tell her younger sister in Cerulean City about this later!
Nurse Joy remembered the Trainer's name and then said gently, "Your room is ready. Chansey will bring dinner to you after it's prepared. Please wait here for a moment."
This was the benefit of being a Pokédex holder. Trainers with a Pokédex could enjoy free room, board, and medical services at Pokémon Centers everywhere.
Fuyuki nodded and then went to an empty seat with Entei and Raikou.
Before long, Nurse Joy's assistant, Chansey, brought them dinner.
Although it wasn't a feast, it suited their tastes.
"Dad, try this!" Fuyuki placed the food before Raikou and Entei. "This is food from the Human World."
Entei and Raikou didn't refuse. They looked at the Pokémon food on the trays and finished it in just a few bites.
Fuyuki then released Squirtle and Gastly from their Poké Balls and began feeding them by hand.
Since he wasn't cooking tonight, Fuyuki mixed Sacred Ash into some moomoo milk and gave it to Squirtle to drink.
Squirtle held the milk bottle and gulped down the milk until it was completely gone.
The fatigue from the battle vanished instantly, and Squirtle returned to its spirited, battle-ready state.
"Squirtle~!"
Gastly, who had never had moomoo milk before, curiously approached the glass bottle to observe the white liquid inside.
"Kieeee—"
"This is moomoo milk," Fuyuki introduced. "It's a very nutritious food."
Gastly used Lick on the moomoo milk, and in the next second, its eyes lit up instantly.
"Kie!"
"Tastes pretty good, right?" Fuyuki said with a smile.
"Kie kie!"
Gastly was so busy drinking it didn't even have time to respond.
The gazes of the nearby Trainers involuntarily drifted toward them, specifically toward the two Legendary Pokémon, Entei and Raikou.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back anymore.
A youth around fifteen years old stepped forward, his eyes burning with excitement as he said, "Hello, my name is Chris. I'm a Pokémon Trainer from Celadon City! Please, have a Pokémon battle with me!"
"Hey! It should be my turn first!"
A young man dressed like a noble squeezed forward. He looked at Entei and Raikou with burning eyes and then pulled several Poké Balls from his pocket.
"Trainer, would you like to trade Pokémon with me? I can trade three rare Dragon-type Pokémon for your Raikou!"
Hearing this, before Fuyuki could even speak, Raikou furrowed its brow.
A roar erupted from its mouth: "Roar!" Get lost!
The man was startled.
Fuyuki also frowned and refused without a second thought, "Please don't disturb our rest."
The man left.
The youth named Chris also looked at Raikou with eyes full of fear.
So scary! What a terrifying roar!
As expected of a Legendary Pokémon, such a powerful pressure!
"I'm very sorry, but we want to have a good rest tonight." Fuyuki shook his head and declined the other's battle invitation.
"Alright then." Chris left regretfully.
The other Trainers around sensed that Raikou didn't seem to like them being close, so they could only watch from a distance, not daring to approach again.
After dinner, Fuyuki and Entei returned to their room to rest.
The more Raikou thought about it, the angrier it got. It said in an irritable tone, "These humans... what do these humans think Pokémon are?!"
Trading just like that, have they ever cared about how the Pokémon feels?!
To this, Entei remained silent, only slightly furrowing its brow.
Fuyuki comforted it, "Actually, not all humans are like that."
Raikou looked at him.
Fuyuki explained, "In this world, there are also relationships between Trainers and Pokémon that are purely cooperative. The Trainer wants to become a powerful Trainer, and the Pokémon wants to become stronger. In such cases, they use each other's strength to achieve their dreams."
"But sometimes, there are cases of incompatibility between Trainers and Pokémon."
"For example, if a Trainer is better at raising agile Pokémon but captures a heavy and slow one, they might not be able to train it well, wasting its talent."
"In those moments, they will look for a Trainer who is a better fit for that Pokémon and trade with them."
Hearing these words, Raikou looked thoughtful.
Its expression was complex. "The human race is truly too complicated."
If only everyone could be like their Little One, how wonderful would that be?
After traveling all day, Fuyuki felt exhausted.
He covered himself with the quilt and said, "Dad, it's time to sleep!"
"Sleep!" A hint of tenderness appeared in Entei's majestic gaze.
Raikou, however, thought of something else.
"Starting tomorrow, it's my turn to accompany Little One on his journey!"
Entei: "——"
It sighed silently. Forget it!
Just let Raikou stay with Little One for a while!

The next morning, Ash, who had gone through many twists and turns in the Viridian Forest, had just arrived in Pewter City when he heard news from a group of reporters about Legendary Pokémon appearing in the city.
In this world where Trainers and Pokémon are mainstream, the news of Legendary Pokémon appearing was major news for the people.
Like mice smelling oil, the reporters excitedly headed toward the last place the Legendary Pokémon were seen—the Pewter City Pokémon Center.
They wanted to capture images of the Legendary Pokémon; that way, they'd have tomorrow's news headlines!
Looking at the group of reporters, Misty's eyes were full of excitement. "Ash, it's Legendary Pokémon! Let's follow them and have a look!"
