Everyone looked in the direction of the roar, and no one said a word, all looked stunned.
The Dragon's Sanctuary was in the valley, surrounded by mountain walls. On the mountain wall, a golden figure stood.
"That's... Raikou!" Kabu said in surprise.
"It's Raikou."
Ash and the others were also surprised.
They had been to Ecruteak City and knew about the three legendary beasts, but they didn't expect to meet Raikou here.
Gary was also surprised.
He didn't expect Raikou to appear and save him at the critical moment. "This guy...!"
Gary breathed a sigh of relief and was even relieved in his heart.
He thought Raikou had left, but he didn't expect this guy to follow him and not go far.
Seeing that everything here was resolved, Raikou didn't stay for long and jumped down the mountain wall directly, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing Raikou gone, Clair reacted immediately and ran over to check Dragonite's injuries.
Dragonite was not defeated.
When the paralysis was lifted, it showed an innocent look.
Looking at everything around it, it suddenly showed a sad expression.
This Dragonite is the Pokémon of the previous gym owner.
It is a gentle female Dragonite who has been guarding the Dragon Sanctuary. "It's okay.
It's not your fault.
Everything is over.
You don't have to blame yourself," Clair comforted.
"Ba-wu...!" Dragonite still felt a little guilty, with a face full of resentment. It definitely couldn't come out of it for a while and needed time to recover.
However, the condition of Dragonite during the chaos was too fierce. Compared with now, it was completely different.
"Since everything is settled, we'll leave first."
"Yeah, it's sweet.
"Bye, Meow!"
The three members of Team Rocket ran away immediately after seeing that everything was settled.
"You guys...!" Kabu didn't know what to say for a while, and the other party ran too fast.
"Hey! Dragon Fang!" Kabu soon found that the box he brought was missing the Dragon Fang inside.
"Team Rocket!" Ash immediately realized that it was Team Rocket who stole it.
"A thief never leaves empty-handed. We can't take nothing away, right" James said proudly, holding a simple Dragon Fang in his hand.
"Gengar, use Psychic to get the Dragon Fang back," Gary ordered.
"Gengga!"
Gengar cast Psychic and retrieved the Dragon Fang.
"Damn it, give me back the Dragon Fang," James said angrily.
Gengar ignored James and handed the Dragon Fang to Gary.
"Okay! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash saw that the Dragon Fang was in hand and attacked with Pikachu without hesitation.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu shot out a golden thunderbolt, instantly hitting the Rocket trio.
Boom!!
With a blast, the Rocket trio flew up into the sky again, completing today's curtain call performance.
Afterwards, everyone, led by Clair, left the Dragon Sanctuary and came to the Pokémon Center in Blackthorn City to treat the Pokémon.
"Gary, are you here to challenge the Blackthorn Gym as well?" Ash couldn't help asking after handing the Pokémon to Nurse Joy.
"He's not, he defeated me a week ago," Clair said.
"What!" Ash was stunned for a moment.
He thought Gary was also here to challenge the gym and found that the gym leader was not there, so he went to the Dragon's Den to take a look.
"Gary, how did you find the Dragon's Sanctuary?" Clair asked.
Although Gary helped a lot this time, the Dragon's Sanctuary does not allow outsiders to enter. Gary appeared here, so Clair naturally needed to understand the situation clearly.
"As for me... Mr. Dray took me to the outskirts of Dragon's Den to learn skills. I happened to hear the movement from the Dragon's Sanctuary, so I came to take a look," Gary told the truth.
"Mr. Dray, it's the third grandfather!" Clair was shocked. The only person who can be called Mr. Dray in Blackthorn City is the third grandfather in the family because only the third grandfather can teach skills.
"What are you talking about? What skills are you learning?" Ash grasped the key to the question. He really wanted to know what Pokémon Gary wanted to learn.
The skills that Gary wanted to learn must be very good skills. Ash felt it was necessary to know something about it.
"Blast Burn," Gary said.
"Is it the skill that your Charizard used just now?" Ash said.
"Yes, it's a secret skill," Gary said.
"Then can I let my Charizard learn it?" Ash asked.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to spend money," Gary said.
When Ash heard that he had to spend money, he froze. He knew how expensive it was to learn ultimate skills.
"Miss Clair, Mr. Dray is your grandfather. Can you make some concessions?" Ash immediately shifted his target to Clair.
He was helping to protect the stability of the Dragon Sanctuary. It should be no problem to learn ultimate skills for free.
Who said Ash was stupid? Once it came to money, he was smart.
"I can't do this. Third Grandpa is a bit eccentric, and he is an elder. I can't make decisions for Third Grandpa, but I can ask for you," Clair was a little embarrassed, but she decided to ask for Ash's help.
Gary was silent. He was just talking casually, but Ash really had the opportunity to learn ultimate skills. This was not good.
Gary didn't think it was not good for Ash's Charizard to master ultimate skills, but the timing was not good.
After that, it was the story of Celebi. The ultimate skills were extremely difficult to learn. It took his own Charizard ten days to master them in an emergency.
Even if Ash was the protagonist of Pokemon series, it would still take at least half a month for his Charizard to learn Blast Burn, which might delay Ash's travel progress.
If he couldn't catch up with the story of Celebi, what would Professor Oak do?
Gary couldn't persuade him, so he could only wait and see what happened next.
"What are you waiting for? Ask for me now, Miss Clair," Ash asked impatiently.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
So, everyone left the Pokémon Center and came to the house where Dray lived.
"Clair, how come you have time to come to see Third Grandpa, and bring so many people with you?" Dray saw Clair coming with a group of people, which was obviously to find him for something.
"Third Grandpa, it's like this..." Clair told Dray about what happened in the Dragon Sanctuary not long ago and also told him that Ash wanted to learn the ultimate skills.
After listening to Clair's narration, Dray looked at Ash.
"Grandpa Dray, can I ask?" Ash asked nervously.
"It's no problem to teach you the ultimate skills. I can give you a discount, 1.5 million," Dray said.
"What! 1.5 million!" Ash exclaimed.
