Yan Yang spotted the approaching Entei at once and happily pounced on him.
"Dad, you finally came. I missed you so much." Seeing Entei's unhappy expression, Yan Yang tried to cheer him up.
Entei had almost no resistance to Yan Yang's words, especially when they were spoken with a slightly coquettish tone.
"You're all right, aren't you? You weren't hurt after spending the night outside, were you?" After saying this, Entei looked at Raikou with an expression of utter disbelief.
Raikou was baffled. Did he really look like someone incapable of protecting a child?
"No. With Second Uncle Raikou protecting me, how could I have gotten hurt?" Yan Yang thought for a moment, then decided not to mention Raikou's roller-coaster-like run from the previous night. Although it had been a little uncomfortable, it really had been exciting.
Seeing Yan Yang throw himself straight into Entei's embrace, Raikou felt a little sour inside.
Yan Yang had never taken the initiative to act like that toward him.
It always felt like Yan Yang was somewhat resistant to him.
They simply had not spent enough time together. If they spent a little longer together, perhaps Yan Yang would no longer resist him so much.
Raikou began thinking about how to increase the time he spent with Yan Yang.
Watching Raikou, who clearly seemed to be up to no good, Entei's anger flared up again.
This guy had taken Little Sun all the way out here, making them search for so long.
Fortunately, Yan Yang had not come to any harm or fallen ill. Even though his current physique made it difficult for him to get sick, Entei could not help worrying.
Yan Yang was also very sensitive to the cold. Now he was covered in that guy Raikou's scent. There was no need to say it—they must have slept together.
Even knowing that Raikou had only done it because he was afraid Yan Yang would be cold, Entei still found it a little hard to accept.
Taking my child somewhere so far away—he definitely did it on purpose.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Entei handed Yan Yang over to Suicune, who had come with them.
"Big Brother, watch the child for now. Second Brother and I are going to have an intimate, friendly exchange." Entei stared at his second brother, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
Suicune nodded. What Raikou had done was indeed rather improper. He really needed a good beating.
Raikou did not resist, which counted as agreement.
Yan Yang, however, was a little worried.
Raikou had not actually gone too far. He simply wanted to get along well with him. Though his method had indeed been a little too direct and rough, Yan Yang still rather liked this Second Uncle Raikou.
So Yan Yang said to Entei, "Dad, go easy on him..."
Hearing Yan Yang plead for him, Raikou felt delighted inside. His night had not been spent in vain.
Entei agreed to Yan Yang's request on the surface, though what he thought in his heart was another matter.
Before long, Entei and Raikou left the area to carry out their intimate, friendly exchange.
Looking at the noble and elegant Suicune, Yan Yang did not know what to say.
Come to think of it, he seemed to have ridden all three Sacred Beasts. Every time felt different.
Rather than riding them, it would be more accurate to say he had sat on them.
Entei's back was broader and his fur softer, making him more comfortable to sit on; Raikou's back was slightly smaller, and his short fur made it a little hard on the butt; Suicune had no fur on his back, but it was smooth, cool, and refreshing.
There probably was not anyone else in this world who had enjoyed such treatment.
"Did you have fun?" Suicune suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Yan Yang took a moment to react. "I did. Second Uncle seems to be really good at having fun."
Suicune nodded. Raikou was indeed the most childish among them. If allowed to indulge his nature, he would probably get along well with children and find it easier to win their affection.
In that regard, Entei truly could not compare to Raikou.
"Let's go home." Suicune crouched down and let Yan Yang climb onto his back.
"Huh? We're going back already? Don't we need to wait for Dad and the others?" Yan Yang scratched his head, somewhat confused.
"No need. They'll come back on their own once they're done fighting."

And so, Suicune left with Yan Yang.
Riding on Suicune's back, Yan Yang occasionally looked back as the place they had just been gradually receded into the distance.
In an open clearing, Entei and Raikou were facing off.
It had indeed been a long time since the brothers had properly sparred. On top of that, both sides were somewhat dissatisfied with the other, so this battle became much more violent.
On the left side of the battlefield, blazing flames surged from Entei's entire body, making him seem like a scorching sun; on the right side, lightning flickered all over Raikou's body, like bolts tearing through the sky.
Both radiated incomparably powerful auras, making even the surrounding air seem to tense up.
Raikou moved first. He used Reflect Type and Light Screen, forming two defensive barriers around himself that boosted both defenses. Then he unleashed the powerful Thunderbolt, sending countless streaks of lightning toward Entei.
But Entei did not dodge. Instead, he charged straight into the lightning. Opening his massive jaws, he spewed out a fierce torrent of flames that intertwined with the lightning.
The flames and lightning collided, triggering an overload reaction and causing a massive explosion.
Entei gave Raikou no chance to catch his breath. After the aftershock of the explosion subsided, he used Extreme Speed—though he only used its power to move quickly and did not attack. Like a red bolt of lightning, he circled Raikou, making it impossible for Raikou to lock onto his position.
Seizing a moment when Raikou was distracted, Entei stomped the ground hard. This was the Ground-type move Stomping Tantrum. Even with Reflect Type in place, the struck Raikou took considerable damage and was shaken so badly that he nearly lost his footing.
He could not let this opportunity slip by. Entei used Flamethrower again, and this time the flames were even fiercer, striking Raikou directly.
Raikou let out a roar as the electric glow around his body intensified, then unleashed the high-powered Electric-type move Thunder at Entei.
The sky was immediately filled with dark clouds, and thick bolts of lightning crashed down toward Entei.
However, Thunder's accuracy in sunny weather was rather worrying. Entei simply sidestepped lightly and avoided it.
Just then, Raikou used Shadow Ball again. A pitch-black ball of energy shot toward Entei at incredible speed.
Seeing this, Entei immediately unleashed Fire Blast. The flames he exhaled formed the shape of the Chinese character for "big," shattering the Shadow Ball...
The battle continued for an hour before the two finally stopped.
There had not been much technique to their fight. They simply used whatever moves came to mind.
All the anger in Entei's heart had dissipated. Battling really was a good way to vent his emotions.
This battle had only gone as far as necessary. If they had continued, there was no telling who would have won—probably Raikou. After all, he was the older brother, and his abilities truly were stronger than Entei's.
Raikou had enjoyed himself as well. What a thoroughly satisfying battle. Wasn't this much more interesting than fighting the Pokémon of those bad guys last time?
In short, battling was awesome!
"Please don't secretly take Little Sun out again. If you do this again, I won't be so polite," Entei said solemnly. He truly did not want to encounter such a situation again.
"Tch, honestly. Are you really going to be this fierce with your big brother?" Raikou said indifferently, deliberately playing dumb.
"Promise me already, or I'll tell Little Sun bad things about you and make him stay away from you." Entei naturally threatened him without the slightest courtesy.
"You... what a vicious heart. You actually threatened your own big brother. Your brother is very sad right now and needs Yan Yang to comfort him."
"You're such a grown Pokémon, yet you still need a child to comfort you? If you don't agree, then get the hell away from me."
"Alright, alright, you win." Raikou agreed verbally, but no one knew what he was really thinking.
Entei did not care. As long as Raikou agreed, that was enough. If he did it again next time, he would be breaking his word, and Entei would have even more reason to make Little Sun stay away from him.
"Still, I noticed that you seem to have gotten a little stronger," Raikou suddenly changed the subject.
"Have I?" Entei asked in confusion.
"Definitely. You absolutely couldn't beat me before, but now, even if I went all out, I'm not sure I could beat you."
Entei Meditated for a while and realized that he really had improved quite a bit. The level 90 limit of a Tier 2 God had actually given him the faint sense that he could break through to an even higher level.
This discovery surprised him a little.
What was going on?
But it was time to head back now, so Entei did not dwell on it.
The two Pokémon then ran off together in another direction.
