"Dad, has Raikou left?"
At Heavenly Green Mountain, Dongshu woke up after a comfortable night's sleep and, not seeing Raikou anywhere in the house, hurriedly asked Fire Emperor.
"Mhm." Fire Emperor nodded. "It still has a mission to complete."
"Alright, then." Dongshu sighed helplessly.
He then happily began telling Fire Emperor about everything that had happened when he had gone out with Raikou this time.
Including the Bulbasaur that had run away from home and its trainer, the summer camp, Ash and Serena, and Professor Oak.
Fire Emperor listened silently from the side.
"That human boy named Ash—I think he has the potential to become the Rainbow Hero!" Dongshu said.
"Mhm." Fire Emperor did not know Ash, so it did not pay much attention to it.
"It's true!" Dongshu climbed onto Fire Emperor and said, "Maybe before long, Lord Ho-Oh will toss him a Rainbow Feather. Then he'll come to our Heavenly Green Mountain with his Pokémon to take part in the trial!"
"Mhm." Fire Emperor still did not pay much attention.
Speaking of the Rainbow Feather, Dongshu remembered that Lord Ho-Oh had given him one when he was little too.
He ran around rummaging through boxes and cabinets, but could not find it anywhere.
"Eh? Where's the Rainbow Feather Lord Ho-Oh gave me before?"
"Just ask Lord Ho-Oh to give you another one later." Seeing that Dongshu could not find it, Fire Emperor spoke up.
Hearing that, Dongshu suddenly thought of something amusing.
He secretly whispered to Fire Emperor, "Dad, do you think Lord Ho-Oh tosses feathers around every day? Could it one day toss away all the feathers on its body?"
Fire Emperor: "..."
"No. The Rainbow Feather is merely one form in which Lord Ho-Oh's power manifests; it is not an actual feather from its body."
