"Of course there is, how convenient," Astrid said dryly, "so when there are none its just because the right trainer hasn't arrived, and should they appear, the trainer who catches them can use it as an excuse to do more or less exactly what they want with it, since it they can claim they were chosen." She sighed, "there is a reason they are called legendaries, they are stuff of legends and while they can hold a grain of truth, the stories are exaggerated and can't be taken literally." She looked apologetically at the two men, she knew they wouldn't like her words but on the other hand she didn't want them to live in a fairytale and waste their time chasing things that didn't existed. "What is the criteria's of this legendary for choosing a trainer? And how do we know it is true when they have not been seen for ages?" She asked kindly, expecting and answer of "being strong" or something similar. The old woman shrugged to Silver's mocking of them believing the dog would show themselves to her and Eusine, she wouldn't mind if they didn't, she expected to see nothing of this trip other than the inside of a burned out tower.
Astrid watched calmly as Rita once again managed to see through her own urge to run off and planted a solid bite on the chikorita, ending the battle, and as expected the red haired trainer was not happy about it. "You could have left us alone and you too would have been free to continued looking," she called after him, "but why does he worry? If he is sure we are not worthy of the beasts, then we are no threat and they will still be here when he returns," Astrid added to Eusine. She watched the redhead stomp away, hopefully to go and get his pokemon healed, and then she turned her mind to more important matters.
"You did great Rita! You are really getting good at keeping your head in the battle," Astrid praised her raticate, who rubbed her head bashfully. "You all did good, I am proud of you," she extended the praise to the rest of the pokemon. Pia were listening intently to something she could hear further down the tower and paid her trainer's praise no attention. "Well, where were we?" She said cheerfully to Eusine as she remounted Yakul and let her guide continue to lead him where ever he thought they would see those legendary beasts. "Oh dear, there has been so many interruptions I cannot remember it anymore!"

Silver wouldn’t even humor a response to the old woman as he hurried off. He needed to train more. Surely, if such an elderly lady could give him such troubles in the heat of a fight, he wasn’t ready to face the legendary dogs that lurked down here. How could he face them with Pokemon that were so easily thwarted? They might easily knock them backwards before the battle even begun. “Good luck.” Was all that was heard as a final response from the redhead, who was sure Astrid would need it if she was going to keep that same attitude when she finally ran into the beast. Eusine nodded his head firmly and led the way through simple instructions. “Careful Astrid.” He pointed to a downed pillar where parts of the roof above seemed to be caving in, letting pieces fall to the floor below and crumble to bits. “Hmm…over there, I think.” He nodded towards a pathway, littered with broken statues and scattered debris. The path would wrap back around the outer stretches of the old decrepit building and back towards its center, where several stairs led up to a small stand. In its past, it was possible that this was used as a stage of some kind, perhaps to put on great plays or to allow someone to speak before a wide audience on important issues. To Astrid's concerns, Eusine only sighed and shrugged. "There are many tales that surround the legendary beasts." He admitted truthfully. Some were fearsome and scared many off from tracking them down. However, those same myths seemed to attract others to them, and sometimes attracted the wrong crowds. "Some say they can control the weather. One is known to cause volcanoes to erupt. They say the Pokemon is made out of smoke itself from the burning embers that birthed it. Another is said to be born from lightning bolts themselves. They say that if you make it angry it will create massive thunderstorms capable of wiping out cities. The third is the most beloved in certain circles, though, because it is known to be able to purify any body of water." He tried to explain to Astrid as they traveled. What's that? Something stirred in the center of the stand. Three large beasts slept curled up together. The first one to move was a strange looking mammal with bright yellow fur and thick black stripes along its body. It’s tail was super thin and skinny, shaped vaguely like a lightning bolt. Two long sabers jutted out of its mouth, nearly the length of a human arm. It shook its head as it stirred, lifted its head up, and slowly rose with a quick nudge to its partner. The large cat-like beast stood taller than a refrigerator and stared intensely at the arrival of the two humans and their Pokemon at its shoulders. The Pokemon that stirred beside it was much taller – by nearly half a foot – and was covered in shaggy brown fur. Thick grey ‘smoke’ rushed along its spine and past its body in a makeshift tail. Thick plates shot out on either side of its body. The last remaining Pokemon that stirred was somewhere between the two in its impressive height. It was a leopard-like mammal with thick, flowing purple ‘mane’ and two long ribbon-like tails that wrapped back around the sides of its body. A huge diamond-shaped crest rested in the center of its forehead and rose up far above like an elk’s antlers. The two Pokemon growled incoherently between each other, before the strange blue mammal stepped off the platform and approached Astrid and her Pokemon slowly. Yakul was smaller in comparison by a foot, causing the beast to bend its neck a bit to stare down at them silently. It seemed as though it was waiting on Astrid, prepared to fight her in battle if she were to humor it. “Show me what you have, human!” The words crawled from its voice in a quick roar as its only warning of an oncoming attack. Legendary Suicune challenges Astrid! Level 35. What will Astrid and her team do?

Astrid wasn't sure what to think about Silver's goodbye "wish", she was certain he didn't mean it well but more something about that she would need all the help she could get. She focused on Eusine instead, who didn't really answer her question either, none of them probably knew it. If the beasts really existed and it was known what attributes they were looking for and how to woo them, they would surely have been found and caught ages ago. Eusine gave some good explanations on the beasts themselves but not really anything she could use, it was just retellings of old fairytales and legends, what made them all so sure they were here and what would make them show themselves for a trainer here, was still unanswered as far as Astrid was concerned. She glanced at Eusine as he talked and wondered if this was just as much a research trip for him? Since those questions of hers was quite crucial to know if you wanted to find the beasts, he might tried to find the answers for them.
They moved further down and the ground became much more unstable with rubbles and debris spread around, Yakul was very careful where she put her hooves and Astrid was glad she was not staggering around with her cane right now. The gogoat stopped abruptly and Astrid quickly grabbed her horns as the goat tensed and snorted a warning, something stirred ahead. Something big untangled from a cuddling heap and Astrid's mouth fell open when she saw the three legendary beasts reveal themselves, clearly they had stepped right into their bedroom somehow.
The beasts seemed to communicate with each other and suicune stepped forward with a challenging glance, and got no answer. Astrid stared stupidly, not believing her own eyes and had gone into some kind of shock. It would require some outside force to snap her out of it, either by Eusine, or otherwise Janus would do the task as he was riding in front of her on Yakul. The goat kept snorting and stomping to warn the big pokemon in front of her to stay away. "They are not supposed to exist!" Astrid exclaimed her protest and stared accusingly at Eusine as if this was some sort of trick he was playing on her. "This can't be real!" Astrid breathed and looked back at the dogs again, and pinched herself only to wince when it confirmed she wasn't sleeping. More pinching followed.
Yakul snorted agitated again which was the clearest sign to Astrid that this might not just be an illusion or some trickery, her pokemon clearly saw the same thing as she did, or perhaps something that was causing this mess and could do something about it. The meaning of Suicune' stance was clear to Astrid, it was challenging them and Yakul clearly wanted to answer that. Astrid clenched her teeth and then dismounted and pulled the saddlebags of her goat, "be careful darling," she whispered to her while touching her horns, Yakul shivered and calmed momentarily to give Astrid a reassuring nudge. "I do hope the legends are true and these beasts are not aggressive, otherwise we'll be in trouble when this battle is over," Astrid said gravely. Her pokemon were strong, but there was no way they were ready to take on Legendary Pokemon, that needed skills of a Champion.
Her trainer was upset over these pokemon who had appeared and Yakul wanted to make things right again by chasing them away, or at least making sure they weren't going to harm her old rider in anyway. She snorted and stomped once again, warning Suicune that if it didn't step down she would charge at it. Astrid's plea of her looking out for herself made her more wary though, and she chose to start out with sending some small seeds at the beasts, followed by herself bulking up in preparation for the upcoming battle. In the leaves around Yakul's neck, Janus was covering and hoping he wouldn't be noticed and in the receiving end of anything.

Eusine was stunned and quiet initially, as Suicune stayed and prepared for a battle. "That one, is Suicune. It is the one known to purify body of waters." He began talking. "Look at that flowing purple mane! It looked so silky smooth that it would make fashion designers jealous!" He complimented enthusiastically, as he slid one of his gloved hands on his cape to feel the smoothness. "Silly human, I am very much real," the legendary strong woofer roared sternly. "Here, let me show you!" It dashed forward quickly and dodged Yakul's spewing of seeds, which exploded and wrapped around the broken planks and woods instead. The four legged legend bit down on Yakul's back, causing her to cry, and then flailing and shaking off the biting offender. If Janus wasn't careful holding on, he would be knocked off! Then, when Yakul shook off the Suicune, it landed on its feet like nothing, like a well-trained stunt actor. The grass type seized this opportunity to fire some Leech Seed again, which wrapped around the beautiful sky blue furs and sapped some health back to her. "You must be a careful one," It roared. "Are you afraid of us being going aggressive? If we did, we had years to do that." It replied thoughtfully to Astrid's concern. However, it didn't specify how many years. Was this the same Suicune or descendent of the same one? 1"Fear not, for I am also cool and collected like you are." It grinned, and then it bent its neck backward and then forward to unleash a colorful prismatic beam from its tiny mouth. The powerful blast of frosted rainbow sent chill down Yakul's spine, and when she bulked up herself, she felt she was able to brace herself for another bite instead.

Astrid stared dumbfounded at Eusine's down to earth answer, from what she had understood he too never had seen a legendary but unlike her really had believed that they existed. Now he acted like it was an everyday happening, and yes he was clearly excited to see the legendaries, but not in the way Astrid would have expected him to. She stared in disbelief when he pulled off his glove and simply put a hand on the huge blue dog in front of them, when had it gotten so close? Her eyes slowly made their way to the suicune's face and her head felt foggy, she felt like she was not really here and it was like she was standing in a dream. "That's impossible..." she whispered and pinched her arm once again (it was getting some small bruises now, from all her checkings), "it's not a psychic.."The old woman frowned as she tried to catch up with reality as the pokemon clashed and Yakul bleated loudly. Suicune roared and startled Astrid, its comment kicked in a automatic response from the old woman: "that's why I have lived so long!" she said dryly without really being aware of it. It was enough to get her mouth working, she could talk and ask questions even if this wasn't real, or it was real but shouldn't be, and asking questions was the way to connect the dots which now seemed to be so far from each other than the best explanation for this was it was some sort of illusion. "What are you doing here?" She blurted out to the Suicune, "why staying here? What does this place have of interest when you are free to roam the whole world? Why showing yourself now?" All the questions which Silver and Eusine couldn't have given her as explanations for why they looked for the legendary dogs here and now, the beasts themselves would have to know the answer. Astrid frowned as another thing hit her, "why can I understand you?" She added more slowly, that was suspiciously too. Yakul bleated frustrated and from pain when Suicune both dodged her seeds and bit her, she reared and bucket and Janus fought to hang on, thinking this wasn't the best place he had chosen. Suicune's flowing purple mane was right beside him, and he made a run for it and leaped to grab hold of it and hide in that instead. Yakul threw off her big attacker and bleated defiantly at it as she was not going to back down as long as her beloved trainer was in danger. A moment later she screeched as the ice cold beam whammed into her and whittled several of her leaves and left bare patched on her neck. Janus stared wideeyed from his new hiding spot on the suicune, and regretted a moment later when green colorful orbs came flying at them. He had gone from out of the frying pan and straight into the fire. (ooc: Yakul uses Seed Bomb. Stupid Aurora Beam ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/j4x3M6WbsBpReeVALlIv.png) No extra damage on it now)

Eusine can't help but compliment the Suicune some more. "Look at the way it ran when it used Bite! And the way it held a majestic pose before using Aurora Beam. I can't believe I am seeing this! Thank you Astrid for climbing down the tower with me to see this!" He was in awe and a complete fanboy over this beautiful legendary mammal. "It sounds like she needed time to process this," A voice from a different direction spoke, and if Astrid looked, it was just Entei watching from a different spot. "We're all very much real," Raikou spoke from another angle. "You can hear me because I am speaking to your directly!" Suicune didn't elaborate that it was telepathy, but it might be easier for humans to make the connection on their own. "We stay here because the rest of the world don't matter to us. This is our home." Entei replied to the elderly woman. "We've shown ourselves because we deem you're a worthy challenge." Suicune replied. "We've seen your battles in the shadow, and we wanted to make sure our strength haven't declined! You also have a strong bond with your Pokemon. Now, let us continue!"The Suicune used Aurora Beam again, which knocked the Gogoat back until she manipulated her hooves to stand straight. Then, the Gogoat ran forward to close their range before firing another Seed Bomb. Then, the vines around the water purification mammal sapped and sucked energy back to the Gogoat. The water type could feel its stamina wading, but this meant that the Gogoat was well-trained. It would withhold its compliment for now. Wild Encounter Weather: Suicune Time!

Astrid sent Eusine a weird look when he was swooning over the Suicune, yes it was pretty and all but it was not what was first on Astrid's mind at this moment. She was still trying to wrap her head around that fairytale creatures were standing right in front of her, and that she somehow could understand and talk with them. Her eyes flickered to the entei in the background, sitting where they had snuggled up just moments ago. With her still not really believing this could be true, her mind kept looking for and finding things she didn't found fitting with the picture, trying to find cracks in the story to reveal the trickery, if there were any.
"That is easy for you to say, does not really explain anything," Astrid said dryly to the Suicune and turned to Eusine, "why can I understand it?" She demanded to know, if he was an expert and had been studying these for years, he must know. Although he couldn't give her a fulfilling answer to her other questions about it, so perhaps he wasn't really an expert. She looked back on the legendaries when they began to answer her questions, "I do not believe you," she told them flatly. "I cannot believe you have hidden in here for a hundred years, with trainers looking for you and not getting caught, the place is not that big," she protested. It was a tower, and it was burned half away. "Or are you saying, that you are really ghosts and can phase through walls and are bound to this place?" She countered, they may be legendary and have extraordinary powers but they were still pokemon.
"Pfh!" The old woman snorted in disbelief to when they said she had been deemed worthy. "Oh come on! You were sleeping when we arrived! Do not try to flatter me with such nonsense!" She shook her head incredulity of the idea, "worthy of what? I am not doing anything, if you said some of my pokemon had been deemed worthy I would believe you. Or could it be Eusine you are meaning? The one who has actaully reserched on your and have a dream of meeting you?"
Yakul did not like all those icy beams and while she was feeling alright due to her leech seed especially, she was getting hesitant in this battle. Janus on the other hand decided he had to help the gogoat getting this enourmous blue dog down, otherwise she'd continue to throw attacks at it and hit Janus as well! He had the perfect position and released a web of electricity on the Suicune, wanting to slow it down enough for him to get off or it going down, whatever came first.
(ooc: Janus "switches in", Electroweb is mostly fluff since Suicune shouldn't last the Leech Seed damage. NOTE: Janus is currently ON Suicune, hiding in its purple mane. If the battle ends I'd like to use my multiplier on Janus.)

The large mammalian Pokemon stared intensely at Astrid. It stood stoic and strong, waiting to see what the elderly trainer would do with her Pokemon. Their bond was strong and pure, able to thwart the efforts of not only the fire breathing brothers but the redheaded trainer that had been searching for the trio of legendary beasts, as well. “I am able to speak directly to you in your mind, so that you can understand what I am saying beyond the usual Pokemon speech.” Suicune announced, remaining steadfast and calm even with Astrid’s incredulousness. “This tower was our home long before we became the legendary beasts. We were three trapped Pokemon who perished in the flames that consumed our ancient home. Then Ho-Oh raised us from the ashes anew.” Suicune continued, as though it had assumed Astrid needed the lifelong explanation. When Janus released the ball of electrical energy while on Suicune, it effortlessly shook off the attack and knocked Janus out of its mane. Entei raised its head along with Raikou and stared at the small bug intensely. “Enough!” Suicune panted from the seeds that zapped away the last of its held back strength. Though it was evident that it should have collapsed, Suicune did not. Instead, Suicune caused a gust of powerful Northwinds to howl around the old tower and causing it to shake dangerously so. Many gusts sifted in from the broken windows and exposed holes in the sides of the building. “I’ve seen what I wanted from you, human. Believe what you see with your own eyes or don’t.”Entei raced off from its spot on the tips of its nimble feet. Its speed was so extreme it looked like just a blur and would be gone in the blink of an eye. Even as it disappeared out of the tower and over the hills in the distance, its words telepathically echoed around Astrid in its stead. “We chose you because of your pure heart, make no mistake. We witnessed your valiant battle against the redhead. But we will not stand for your own accusations against us.” As Entei roared, a volcano erupted in the distance, sending up chunks of magma and molten lava. Suicune followed where Entei raced off with its eyes momentarily and nodded thoughtfully. Raikou turned and stomped its foot on the wooden floor underneath it and shook its head, creating small storm clouds that it would hop up on and use like stairs to fly up into the air and out of the towers. Lightning bolts zapped from the bottom of the storm clouds, though Raikou was careful to control each bolt and keep it from sitting the old tower and risk damaging it further. “Humans have caused our world enough destruction. We were hoping there were still some good souls out there.” It snorted with a shake of its head as it raced off into the skies in the distance. Suicune added with a nod, before turning to race off through the disshelved ruins of the burned tower, “Do not be fooled by our ‘sleeping forms’. Not much is missed by us. You proved a worthy opponent at my partial power level. We choose to return to this place because this was the place where Ho-Oh transformed us and gave us new life. That is all. We’re not bound here and would have left before your arrival if we had not approved you as a worthy trainer to meet and challenge us.” Suicune elaborated further. With that, it raced off over the hills and into the distance. Eusine’s eyes were widened with admiration as he watched them all disappear one by one, though they caused the tower to shake around them. Loose boards fell to the floors and nails popped out of the wall. Though the elemental beasts were careful not to destroy the ‘home’ they so often returned to, there was enough risk that Eusine soon nudged Astrid. “That was amazing. Truly a once in a lifetime moment. But we should head out.” When they were safely back out of the tower, Eusine would pull a small hidden machine out of his pocket and hand it over to Astrid. “Here. This is for accompanying me along this journey and helping me meet the legendary beasts for myself. It is the Hidden Machine Strength, and can be used to move large boulders out of your path by a Pokemon capable of learning the move.” Eusine explained with a mile wide grin. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/joltik.png) Janus gained 1313 EXP. 50*35: 1750/2: 875*1.5: 1312.5 > 1313 Janus increased to 1340/3781 EXP!Janus is as close as he can get to Astrid! ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/gogoat.png) Yakul gained 875 EXP. 50*35: 1750/2: 875 Yakul increased to 2289/3367 EXP!Yakul is as close as she can get to Astrid!

Astrid could not keep the eye contact when Suicune stared intensely at her and she lowered her gaze, feeling the power pulsing from the pokemon, and feeling dwarfed in comparison. The old woman could be determent and unbending, but she was not immune. "But how.." Astrid mumbled defiant, Suicune, Entei and Raikou was not psychic pokemon so it shouldn't be possible. She jumped startled when lightning suddenly flashed from the blue legendary dog, did it have even further abilities which she knew nothing about? It shook itself wildly and something small and yellow fell from its fur and darted away. "Janus!" Astrid gasped horrified, what had he been up to now?!
Much to Astrid's surprise, and quick disbelief the Suicune called the battle to an end and at first looked like it had been beaten. Which was impossible, her pokemon were strong but as she had thought before, they were nowhere near ready to face a legendary pokemon, that would require someone at the strength and skill of a Champion or Elite Four perhaps. She had never expected to train her pokemon up to face a pokemon of the myth, as she not only had never expected to meet one, they were stuff of legends after all! It made a bit more sense a moment later when it seemed to shed off the exhaustion and set the tower trembling with the risk of it collapsing. Astrid screamed fearfully, this was it! She was going to be buried alive! Yakul bleated furiously at Suicune to get it to stop or she would make it, but she ran to Astrid's side and stared wideeyed and determent at the ceiling above her, ready to defend her from the falling rubble, somehow.
It didn't and Astrid lived to see another day. Her wide fearful eyes slowly found Entei when it spoke to her, or rather the red streak of it in the distance even though the voice she heard was loud and clear. The words didn't really settle with her, but something else did and she perked up a bit, Raikou's words didn't speak much to her either, they were both too much of putting her up on some sort of piedestal, but again it disappearing out of the tower caught her interest and she pointed at where they had disappeared eagerly as she looked at Eusine. She ducked her head and clung to Yakul as the volcano erupted, even though it was so far away that she really couldn't see it.
"Hah! I knew it!" She said triumphally, "I did say that they did not live here all the time! And I was right!" She gloated and grinned as she added more dryly, "then there is at least one thing which makes sense." She looked nervously at Suicune, what would that do which would scare her half to death and drive in the point how much stronger andmagical they were compared to her? "I said that too," she mumbled like a defiant child when it sounded like the suicune thought Astrid had been the one claiming they were sleeping and not aware of their surroundings. Astrid looked somberly at Suicune, "that fits much better with what I had expected," she told it and thought to herself that the part of her being worthy was nonsense, and wondered why they hadn't just said that to begin with. Although, perhaps it had been Eusine and that redhaired kid who had kept insisting on that? She flinched and hid her face in Yakul's leafy fur as the suicune too raced out and disappeared into the horizon.
"Yes! Please! We should have been out already!" Astrid said urgently and only spent some time recalling all pokemon but Yakul, climbing the goat and insisting that Eusine should ride behind her as it was much faster. They raced out of the tower which seemed mostly empty and Astrid looked back at it, fully expecting it to collapse and be gone forever, but it still stood albeit looked more delicate than before. Astrid looked dumbfounded at Eusine when he spoke, she had forgotten all about him again and she wordlessly accepted the TM, not sure what she should do with it. "Oh! For the trek into Dark Cave! Ofcourse, thank you!" She exclaimed when she realized his meaning behind the gift, they had talked about needing a strong pokemon who could move stuff around while she searched the cave for Lance, the trainer who was almost as mythical like the pokemon they had just encountered. Astrid forced her mind to the practical stuff around that trip, and why she had sought out Eusine in the first place but it felt weird and unimportant somehow after the experience she had just had.
