Chapter 130: The Heavily Injured Raikou
After all, Blissey is an extremely kind Pokémon by nature and does not enjoy fighting.
Therefore, it shines in the medical field but rarely appears on the battlefield.
"Blissey, please," Ye Jianguo said, pointing to the weak Raikou on the ground.
"Bliss..."
Blissey nodded, looking at Raikou with distress. She reached into her belly pouch with both hands, took out the egg, and offered it to Raikou, signaling it to open its mouth.
The egg in Blissey's pouch is called a Lucky Egg. It is said to be a marvelous egg full of happiness. Besides healing injuries, it can also soothe a Pokémon's emotions, relaxing even the most violent creatures.
Because of this, the price of Lucky Eggs is incredibly high.
Raikou's eyes were still full of wariness. Facing the Lucky Egg offered by Blissey, it didn't eat immediately. Instead, it continued to stare at Kenji and Ye Jianguo with immense vigilance and anger.
"Raikou, from beginning to end, we have harbored no ill will towards you. All we have ever hoped for is that you stay away from the human world. That is all," Ye Jianguo said calmly, once again clarifying his stance to the injured Legendary Pokémon.
After a stalemate of about half a minute, Raikou could no longer support its body. Feeling its injuries rapidly worsening, it had no choice but to accept Blissey's Lucky Egg and swallow it in one bite.
As Raikou swallowed the Lucky Egg, a very gentle, healing energy circulated through its body, repairing its wounds.
"Blissey, Heal Pulse."
"Bliss..."
Blissey clasped her hands together. Gentle healing energy transformed into waves of pink pulses, enveloping Raikou.
Under the dual effects of the Lucky Egg and Heal Pulse, Raikou's condition finally improved. Although still injured, it was pulled back from the brink of unconsciousness.
Whether due to the Lucky Egg's soothing effect or Kenji and Ye Jianguo's help, the anger and hostility in Raikou's eyes finally softened slightly.
"Respected Raikou, we mean you no harm. I believe you can sense that," Kenji took the opportunity to emphasize his and Ye Jianguo's stance again.
"Roar..."
Raikou let out a low growl.
Kenji looked at Ninetales beside him.
"It says it only came to Mount Blackthunder to heal its injuries. Once it recovers its strength, it will leave immediately."
To heal?
Kenji frowned, catching a crucial piece of information from Ninetales's translation.
Combining this with Raikou's initial words, he guessed the reason Raikou came here. There was a ninety percent chance it had been injured by a human trainer's Pokémon.
Defeated, Raikou fled and ended up at Mount Blackthunder, a place rich in electric energy, to heal.
While Kenji was silently piecing together the sequence of events, Blissey finished treating Raikou.
Blissey looked troubled.
"Bliss, Bliss..."
"She says Raikou's injuries are too severe. She can't fully heal them." This time, Ninetales took over the translation without Kenji needing to ask.
Hearing this, Kenji became more certain of his conjecture. Although Raikou had fought Beedrill for a long time, the only attack it received from Beedrill was the strike that broke its shield after Mega Evolution.
While Beedrill was strong, Kenji didn't believe it was strong enough to critically injure Raikou with a single strike.
There was only one explanation.
Raikou was already heavily injured. That was why it hadn't attempted close combat with Beedrill from the start, relying solely on ranged attacks while hiding behind its shield.
Unexpectedly, Beedrill broke the shield. The already injured Raikou took a direct hit, aggravating its severe wounds.
Thinking about it, the strength of a Legendary Pokémon was truly terrifying. Even heavily injured, it could fight evenly with Beedrill. If it were at full strength, Beedrill without Mega Evolution probably wouldn't stand a chance.
No wonder even a Provincial Gym Leader felt fear and needed to call in a Regional Elite Four member.
But Kenji couldn't understand. Legendary Pokémon were so strong; who could have injured Raikou to this extent?
The trainer responsible would have to possess strength far surpassing a Provincial Gym Leader, perhaps even rivaling a Regional Elite Four member.
How many such people existed in the entire National League?
Kenji relayed Ninetales's translation to Ye Jianguo.
Ye Jianguo wasn't stupid; he thought of the same things Kenji did, and his brow furrowed deeply.
"Respected Raikou, as the old saying goes, 'no acquaintance without a fight.' Our misunderstanding has been resolved. Your injuries are severe. On behalf of the National League, we are willing to offer assistance to help you recover."
Now that the misunderstanding was cleared, Raikou knew they meant no harm. Kenji and the others also understood that Raikou was only on Mount Blackthunder to heal and had no intention of attacking humans.
The agitation of the nearby Electric-type Pokémon was likely influenced by Raikou's emotions.
"Roar..."
Raikou shook its head. Kenji knew without Ninetales's translation that this was a refusal.
As the saying goes, "once bitten by a snake, ten years shy of a rope."
After being hurt by humans, Raikou was unwilling to approach or trust them again.
Even talking to Kenji and Ye Jianguo now was a helpless act forced by its severe injuries.
"Then... may I ask who, or what Pokémon, injured you like this?" Kenji asked curiously.
At the mention of this, Raikou's expression turned ferocious. Anger poured from its eyes, but behind that rage lay a hidden trace of fear and apprehension.
"ROOOAR..."
