Walking Wake

Even though it was somewhat blurry, as if it had been taken in a hurry, the Pokémon in the photograph looked very similar to Suicune overall.

But it was only similar.

At least, based on Luo Mu's knowledge and his experience of having seen and interacted with Suicune in person—

The Pokémon in the picture looked like Suicune, but it was not Suicune. It was some unknown Pokémon.

It was not a Ditto transformation with a few differing details, but an entirely different Pokémon.

Its appearance, coloration, and markings were all somewhat similar to Raikou's, yet it was an entirely different kind of Pokémon.

Raikou was Electric-type, while Roaring Thunder Drum was Electric- and Dragon-type. Going by GF's usual habits, could this suspected Paradox Pokémon be Water- and Dragon-type?

Upon hearing that, Hai Dai's expression immediately turned serious.
