Chapter 49

Ho-oh and the three legendary beasts

Today the gang were back in Ecruteak City; to get to Mahogany Town, they had to pass Ecruteak City first. The gang had met with the Kimono sisters again, and Sakura's Eevee was now an Espeon. She also had captured some new pokemon; an Azumarill, a Vileplume and a Amphros. Sakura had decided to set off on her pokemon journey and her sisters accepted her desire to become a pokemon journey. So after meeting up with the Kimono sisters, the gang were now in the pokemon center planning how to get to Mahogany Town. Ash had the idea of visiting Morty first, because he had Celebi with him and figured that he should introduce her to Morty. Misty, Tomo and Brock saw Ash's point, because Morty was an expert of legendary pokemon and he would probably not forgive Ash if he didn't show Celebi to him.

Suddenly a sound of bells ringing was sounding out through all of Ecruteak City. "I wonder what is going on?" said Misty. "Maybe trouble is happening," said Brock. Just then a glowing was coming from Ash's backpack. Ash realised that the golden locket, with the rainbow wing was glowing, and when Ash opened up the locket it was the rainbow wing glowing. "You don't suppose this means that Ho-oh is approaching Ecruteak City again do you?" Ash asked the others. "Well the rainbow wing is a feather of Ho-Oh's," said Brock "so there is a good chance that it is. We should go and see Morty". The others agreed. Ash placed the golden locket back into his backpack and then he and the gang left the pokemon center at once.

The bell noises were coming from the tin tower, so the gang headed over there. Morty was at the tin tower, and another man was there too. The man's name was Eusine, and he was a researcher and expert on the three legendary beasts; Entei, Raikou and Suicune. Morty and Eusine had heard the bells ringing and checked out the tin tower; the reason why the bells were ringing was because the special crystal bells on the ninth floor of the tin tower had been stolen. "We need to find those crystal bells," said Morty "they are important to the tin tower". Eusine agreed.

Just then the gang turned up. Morty was happy to see the gang again. "Ash with your presence here, I think you can help us here" said Morty. Morty introduced Eusine to the gang and he explained that Ash had seen Ho-Oh twice on his journey. Eusine couldn't believe Morty's words. "Ash, show Eusine the gold locket that I gave you" said Morty. Ash took out the gold locket from his backpack and showed off his rainbow wing to Eusine. Eusine could not believe his eyes once he saw the wing. "That really is the feather of Ho-Oh," he said. Morty also explained that Ash also had a Lugia, and Ash showed off the silver wing in his silver locket. Eusine could not believe Ash one bit.

Morty brought the gang to the gym and explained what was going on. "The four crystal bells from the tin tower had been stolen," said Morty. He explained that the normal bells and the crystal bells were from the original tin tower, and they were left unscratched when the tower burned down. "Ever since the bells were placed in the new tin tower, they had never rung once, until today because of the stolen crystal bells". "Apparently Ho-Oh still watches over humans," said Eusine "and so do the three pokemon that Ho-Oh were said to create". "You mean the three legendary beasts Entei, Raikou and Suicune right?" asked Ash. "You know about the three legendary beasts Ash?" asked Morty. "Yes, I've read about them many times before," said Ash "I also read that Ho-Oh created them from the flames, when the tin tower was burned down". "That's correct," said Eusine "and Ho-Oh sent them to watch over humans in his place". "Please excuse me, but Tomo, Misty, Brock and I have met Suicune before," said Ash. "Ash is right," said Misty "we met Suicune in the forest next to Arborville". Brock and Tomo nodded in agreement. "Wow first Ho-Oh then Suicune, you're lucky Ash" said Morty.

Eusine could not believe that Ash had seen Ho-Oh and Suicune and called him a liar. "I'm afraid I speak the truth," said Ash, calmly, "and I have a pokemon witness with me to prove it". Ash took off a pokeball from his belt and sent out Celebi. Morty and Eusine could not believe their eyes once they saw Celebi. 'It's good to be out of the pokeball again' said Celebi. Eusine and Morty were speechless once they realised that Celebi could talk in telepathy. "Wow Ash," said Morty "you have another legendary pokemon". "That's right Morty," said Ash "I got Celebi in the same forest, where I met Suicune". 'Ash speaks the truth' said Celebi. Eusine felt absolutely jealous of Ash seeing Ho-Oh and Suicune and having Lugia and Celebi on his pokemon team.
