Ash And Horizons

The Rainbow Hero

"Ho-Oh's Rainbow hero??"

Diana pulled out another book from her bag, and put the book on the table.

Ash and Liko looked at the title of the book.

"The Legendary Rainbow Hero"

Liko asked her grandmother, "Grandma, what is the Rainbow hero?"

Diana opened the book as she explained, "The legendary Rainbow Hero is a popular tale among everyone my age back in the days." Diana pointed at the picture of Ho-oh gazing at the man on the ground.

"This person right here, is the first ever rainbow hero ever known in history. His name was Nijihashi, known as Johto's Rainbow of hope. At the age of eight when he studies learning how to battle. Back then, he is a knight in training, sharpening his skill with and without pokemon. He tells many people that he's aiming to bring peace upon Johto region, but many people laugh at him for the impossible and what they thought as a stupid dream."

Diana pointed at the picture where Nijihashi picked the rainbow feather.

"This is the point where he start his journey. He found a rainbow feather on the path to his hometown. At first, he's curious why is there a unique feather on the ground in the middle of a plain path towards his home, and then when he looked up, he saw it."

Diana shows the picture where Said Nijihashi looked at the figure of Ho-oh who's flying away on the opposite direction.

"When he saw Ho-oh, Nijihashi has figured out the feather on his hand, came from Ho-oh. At that time, getting one of Ho-oh's feather considered as a blessing of hope. Nobody has interested Ho-oh with the nature of evil and greed still lingering on the land of living beings. Many humans has their heart filled with darkness either by experience, or naturally has darkness inside their heart."

Diana continue the story by pointing the picture, "He has a new resolve, to spread hope and justice to wiped out all the evil within Johto Region. And so he left his hometown after he said goodbye to his family, his father, mother, and old brother who is a veteran knight, Hikari."

"Whoaa..."

Ash looked at the Ho-oh Feather he has on his hand, "I guess we're kind of special through all this time, right Pikachu?"

"Pika-Pika~"

"Special is the right statement for you, and in this story..." Diana pointed at the next picture, where Nijihashi face to face with Ho-oh, "Both Nijihashi and Ho-oh face to face with each other with his strongest pokemon, Garchomp."

Diana flipped the page, and shows the next picture of the story, "And here is the moment where he wins against Ho-oh."

Diana then closed the book, "Sadly this was only the first volume i got recently. We could get more info on the other volumes if you both want to know more about it."

"Diana-san, i wanna ask for one thing?"

"What would that be?"

Ash then looked at the book Diana hold, "How come the story instantly shows Nijihashi suddenly beats Ho-oh? It's too sudden for that to happen you know, it's like so many part of the story got skipped so much."

Diana smiled as she put back the book on her backpack, "Because it's currently incomplete. I got this copy back then when i am still at the Union World."

Ash and Liko tilted their head, "Union World?"

"Is that some kind of Organization that we should Know, Diana-san?"

"Not in a sense. The Union World is an Organization that is built in order to help people and pokemon from anything evil. It was pretty popular back in the days, when i am younger."
