"W-What's this Pokémon?!" Professor Oak was so startled that he hurriedly asked, "R-Raikou?!"
At the mention of Raikou's name, Fire Emperor's imposing gaze immediately turned toward the human before him.
"Raikou went out to take care of something. This is Fire Emperor, my dad who raised me," Dongshu explained with a smile. He then glanced at the panel—another hundred Shock Points had arrived.
That alone showed just how shocked Professor Oak was at the moment.
Another... dad?
Hearing this, the surprise on Professor Oak's face deepened.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled what Dongshu had meant three years ago at that summer camp when he introduced Raikou as his second dad.
So he really had more than one father!

"Come in, quickly!" Professor Oak stepped aside and welcomed them. "I thought you weren't coming today!"
As Dongshu and Fire Emperor entered the research institute, Dongshu explained, "The place where we live is a little far from Pallet Town."
In truth, neither he nor Fire Emperor had stopped much along the way this
