Raikou looked somewhat like a saber-toothed tiger from Earth's distant past, with golden fur, powerful limbs, sharp fangs, and a pale blue, lightning-bolt-shaped tail.
Beyond these features, its most striking trait was the X-shaped whiskers beneath the black steel ornament on its forehead!
In terms of bearing, Raikou undoubtedly looked fiercer than the majestic Entei or the composed Suicune!
Even its eyes and sharp claws made it easy to tell that its temperament was more volatile and dangerous!
Watching secretly from the shadows, not showing itself rashly, and finding an opening to deliver a fatal blow also suited the habits of predators like tigers and leopards. It was quite faithful to its model.
Since this was his first time seeing one in the flesh, Xia You couldn't help taking out his Pokédex and pointing it at Raikou.
The Pokédex said, "Beep. Raikou, the Thunder Pokémon. Electric type. One of the Legendary Pokémon of the Johto Region and a member of Ho-Oh's Guard. Raikou is said to be a ferocious Pokémon that descended alongside lightning, harboring lightning-like speed within its body. Because it carries rain clouds on its back, it can release lightning at any time. It runs across the land while releasing the surging power within its body as lightning strikes. Its thunderous howls shake the air and rock the earth just like thunderbolts striking the ground!"
Judging by the Pokédex's description, Raikou certainly lived up to its name as a Legendary Beast.
That said, it was actually very difficult for Raikou to hide during such an intense battle. Keeping itself uninvolved and staying out of it was simply impossible. As the battle grew fiercer and spread over an ever-wider area, it was only a matter of time before it was forced to reveal itself.
What Xia You hadn't expected
