Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

"But boss, it's not just Emperor Yan, even Suijun is here!"

"what!"

As panicked voices came through the walkie-talkie, not only Ashida, but also Lu An, who had been silently observing and watching the show until the Yan Emperor appeared, was startled and moved.

Suicune has appeared too?

The association's information says it's located on a remote island in the South. How did it end up here?

Did Emperor Yan and Lei Gong summon it here?

The three sacred beasts have actually gathered here?

No wonder Emperor Yan was able to slip silently into the encirclement carefully laid out by Ashida and swiftly rescue Lei Gong.

Suicune, known as the "incarnation of the North Wind," does indeed have the ability to conceal the whereabouts of its companions.

Lu An's expression turned serious.

This is troublesome. With Suikoden around, if we're not careful, Yan Di and Lei Gong might really get away.

It's understandable that Ashida and Lila didn't manage to subdue Raikou.

After all, Lu An's agreement with Ashida was that Ashida would provide him with more accurate information about Emperor Yan, while he would make a trip to the Battle Frontier after the matter was over.

Whether they subdued Lei Gong or not was irrelevant to him.

But if Emperor Yan escapes, how can he find him again?

With Suicune helping to conceal his whereabouts, Entei will be even harder to detect than before.

We absolutely cannot let Emperor Yan get away like this!

Thinking of this, Lu An and Mikoli exchanged a glance and quickly ran in the direction where Yan Di and Lei Gong had disappeared.

Lila, who was originally battling Raikou, retrieved Salamence into her Poké Ball and ran in the same direction.

Ashida, sitting on his rocking car, was completely distraught.

The last time they failed to subdue Raikou, it was because the plan was not fully executed and Raikou escaped in the chaos, so Ashida did not feel frustrated.

After all, taming a mythical beast is defying the heavens, so it's normal that it's difficult.

However, everything in this operation is proceeding according to plan.

It's important to know that the nine Pokémon that weakened Raikou in the early stages were all Gym Leader level Pokémon!

Among them, some are restrained by lightning, some are immune to lightning strikes, some act as lightning rods, some attract aggro, and some prevent the Thunder God from escaping.

Not to mention that after these nine Pokémon, there's also Lyla, a top-tier gym leader, who will challenge them one-on-one.

Even though Raikou is a legendary Pokémon, it is still essentially a Pokémon and must still follow the rules of Pokémon battles.

Under such powerful targeting, any champion-level Pokémon would be defeated on the spot.

Lei Gong's ability to endure for so long truly makes him worthy of the name of a divine beast.

But despite how smoothly the operation went, it was all thanks to the meticulous planning of his team!

Even though Ashida knew of Entei's existence, he still focused his attention solely on Raikou, because a total of nine targeted Gym Leader-level Pokémon couldn't be assembled in a short time.

Finding another team to target Emperor Yan in a short time is no less difficult than climbing Mount Baiyin alone or diving into an underwater cave!

It was precisely because there was no time to make sufficient targeted arrangements for Emperor Yan that it was able to join forces with Suijun to rescue Raikou from the encirclement.

However, Ashida also knew that subduing a divine beast was something that could be done once or twice, but not repeatedly.

"I don't care how many of the Three Sacred Beasts arrived today, but Lei Gong, you must leave them here for me!"

"The task of subduing Lei Gong must not be abandoned at the last minute!"

......

The forest near Highway 112 is like a silent poet, lying quietly in the long river of time, writing everything with its rise and fall.

Sunlight filters through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows; everything is so gentle and peaceful.

However, at this moment, something unusual is happening in this sparsely populated forest.

A four-legged Pokémon with orange-red fur and what looked like a six-pointed star mask on its head scurried through the forest, making a rustling sound that broke the silence of the woods.

It had already reached the outermost edge of the forest, and was just one step away from leaving the forest.

"Roar!"

The beast, shaped like a volcano, looked back with a terrifying aura and let out an ancient roar into the unknown forest.

In the direction of the roar of the Flame Emperor, Lu An slowly emerged from the forest. Behind him, a fire moth as tall as a person was quietly flapping its wings.

Emperor Yan stared intently at the Fire God Moth, his usually arrogant gaze now incredibly solemn.

As a fellow Fire-type Pokémon, Entei's intuition told it that this Volcarona would be very troublesome.

"Emperor Yan, I am not here to fight you. I just want to ask you for a favor. I need your help."

However, in the face of Lu An's sincere tone, Emperor Yan roared again, drowning out his voice in the roaring sound waves.

It stood still, its fur bristling, and orange-red flames, carrying powerful kinetic energy, rushed straight at Lu An's face. Fortunately, Lu An reacted quickly and dodged it.

Seeing that Emperor Yan had turned around and was clearly intending to leave, Lu An gritted his teeth. Since words couldn't get through to him, he would use battle to convey his feelings.

"Vulcan moth, insect chirp!"

Without hesitation, the fire moth opened its mouthparts, revealing its sharp, tiny teeth, and emitted vibrating sound waves that were unbearable for ordinary people, heading straight for Emperor Yan.

Suddenly attacked, Emperor Yan turned around and roared back, his voice echoing through the mountains and forests!

Lu An raised an eyebrow and roared loudly at the insects chirping. He hadn't expected that this Yan Emperor was quite interesting.

Seeing that Emperor Yan's attention had been drawn back to the fire moth's attack, Lu An gave the order:

"Vulcan Moth, Air Blade!"

"No~"

With each flap of its three pairs of wings, the sharp blades of the fire moth hurtled straight at Emperor Yan.

If Muto, Naoko, and others had seen Lu An and Kawamura's Crow Leader fight during club recruitment, they would have found that compared to Volcano, the Crow Leader's air blades were as weak and powerless as a feather duster.

Faced with a sharp, aggressive attack that seemed capable of slicing even space itself in two, even the Flame Emperor did not want to needlessly withstand it.

After dodging the attack, Yan Di charged towards Lu An and Volcano, his fur covered in flames, like a wild beast caught in a forest fire, yet exuding a terrifying aura that no wild beast could possess.

"A stored-energy flame attack?"

Lu An narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had Volcarona use this move when he fought against Arima's Duraludon, the coach of Golden University.

With this move, Volcarona, which is not good at close combat, and Duraludon, which is equipped with an Evolution Stone and is skilled in this technique, managed to fight to a standstill.

However, the difference between Entei and Volcano is that Entei is very good at close-range attacks such as charged flame attacks.

If it were Entei who used this move against Duraludon, it would have knocked it senseless on the spot.

Therefore, it is unwise to engage in a head-on battle with the Flame Emperor, who possesses powerful physical attacks such as divine speed and excels in close combat.

Lu An quickly gave the order:

"Vulcan Moth, take cover, it's spraying flames."
