Entei

Biodata

History

Entei emerged from dense fog in front of Xu Mu in the Viridian Forest Secret Realm. Greninja challenged him, and Entei accepted, forgetting why he had come. Xu Mu could not understand their exchange and mistook the encounter for a threat 21.

Greninja initially knocked Entei back and injured him. Entei then stopped suppressing his strength, reaching peak Champion level and defeating Greninja with Fire Fang. Realizing that his full power had revealed his location—despite a promise to Ho-Oh to remain hidden—he fled 21 22.

Trainers later converged on the Secret Realm to capture Entei. More than a dozen surrounded and wounded him; Entei had also burned a Lapras involved in the confrontation. Cynthia objected to the group assault, and Xu Mu intervened. Xu Mu claimed Entei was his Pokémon to challenge Venerable Dongfeng, but the claim was a pretext to defend him 25 26.

After Xu Mu defeated Dongfeng, a weakened Entei spoke to him through Telepathy. He explained that Ho-Oh had sent him to place an important Pokémon Egg in the hands of “the boy who embodies this era’s destiny.” Entei entrusted Xu Mu with the Egg and disappeared before Xu Mu could refuse it. The Egg later hatched into Arceus 30 34.

Abilities & Skills

• At full power, Entei struck Greninja with Extreme Speed and Fire Fang, ending their battle 22.

Telepathy

• Entei spoke directly into Xu Mu’s mind to explain Ho-Oh’s mission and entrust him with the Egg 30.
