"A mysterious wind?"
Damian contemplated this. He seemed to understand the situation.
"Yes," the shop owner stated. "The weather report did not predict this event. Also, people say that when the wind arrived, someone observed a monster in the sky."
The shop owner spoke as if she was relaying verified information.
"A monster? It must be a Pokémon, right?" Caitlin felt that this manner of speaking was too similar to an irrational belief.
Every strange event in this world had a reason. Most of them were caused by the abilities of Pokémon. After all, this was naturally a world of supernatural occurrences.
"It should be. We just do not know what species of Pokémon it is," the shop owner said. She also thought that was logical.
"Did anyone contact the League?" Elesa was very perplexed. If an event like this affected an entire town, the Unova League should have taken action.
"They were contacted already. But even Officer Jenny and the others have not determined the source yet."
The shop owner sighed. "As you can see, a normal person cannot even exit a building in this kind of wind. Today is actually considered a normal day."
"Sometimes it is even worse. The howl of the wind is so loud it makes people feel terrified."
After hearing what the shop owner said, Damian was fundamentally certain.
There were very few wild Pokémon that could create a wind powerful enough to affect an entire town, especially one that lasted for a long duration. It must be the legendary Tornadus. He was one of the four Cloud Pokémon.
"Boss, did the person who observed the 'monster' describe its appearance?" Damian asked.
"That's right! Was it a Pokémon with a cloud on its lower body?"
Elesa had clearly thought of the same thing as Damian. As a local from Unova, even though she was young, she knew many of the legends of this region.
"Are you talking about Tornadus, young lady?" But the shop owner shook her head.
Elesa was surprised. She thought the shop owner was unaware of Tornadus.
Tornadus and Thundurus were both legendary Pokémon with hostile temperaments. Wherever they went, they caused rainstorms and destroyed crops. As the legendary Tornadus, creating high winds was its most basic ability.
"But that was not Tornadus. People in town have verified this before. Tornadus has a human-like upper body and a cloud for a lower body. But the person who observed the 'monster' said the shape looked like a large green bird," the shop owner explained.
"Oh?" Elesa thought about it. A large green bird? What Pokémon was that?
However, Damian became even more certain. It was definitely Tornadus.
There were very few wild Pokémon that could create a wind powerful enough to affect an entire town, especially one that lasted for a long duration. It must be the legendary Tornadus. He was one of the four Cloud Legendary Pokémon.
The four Cloud Legendary Pokémon were known as the "Incarnate" Pokémon. Under normal conditions, the form they showed to humans was their Incarnate Forme, which looked humanoid.
But that was just an appearance. That was their "Incarnate Forme." Their true forms were their Therian Formes, which looked like beasts. This was why they were called "Incarnates."
There was no doubt. The "large green bird" that caused the wind was Tornadus in its Therian Forme.
But this was very strange. To revert to their true forms, the Incarnates needed an item called the "Reveal Glass."
As for Tornadus ruining the town, that did not surprise Damian at all. Tornadus had always been like that since ancient times. They had hostile temperaments, so it was normal for them to commit harmful acts.
"I wonder if the other Incarnates are nearby too."
Damian thought about this with interest. To be honest, among ordinary Legendary Pokémon, the Incarnates were quite powerful.
Also, Tornadus and Thundurus in their Incarnate Formes had the Prankster ability. Landorus had the Sheer Force ability. Landorus in its Therian Forme had the Intimidate ability. As for Enamorus...
Furthermore, all four of them had their own signature moves.
For Damian, finding news about the Incarnates was a fortunate revelation. He had come to Eindoak Town to find Victini. While he had not found Victini yet, he now knew Tornadus was nearby.
The powerful wind lasted for about half an hour.
When the wind completely stopped, Damian and the other two walked onto the street. What they observed was total disarray.
Many people were already cleaning up the debris on the street. Judging by how quickly they worked, it was clear they were accustomed to this.
"This is interesting."
A small smirk appeared on Damian's face.
He especially liked this kind of unrestrained Pokémon. This kind of Legendary Pokémon that caused so much trouble should belong to Team Rocket.
Well, it was also like eliminating a hazard for the people, right?
"Elesa."
"What is it?" Elesa looked at Damian with confusion.
"Go and find out where the source of this storm is. Or find out exactly where that person observed that Pokémon."
Damian gave Elesa the order.
"Okay," Elesa nodded.
She could tell that Damian was very interested in this Pokémon. However, if Damian could catch it, it would be a beneficial thing for the people in this town.
"Eh? Damian?"
Suddenly, a girl's surprised and happy voice came from nearby.
Damian turned his head. A girl with her hair in two buns and wearing black tights was waving at him.
"Rosa. What a coincidence," Damian smiled and nodded.
The girl ran over. Under her tight shirt, her two hair buns bounced up and down. It was very striking.
"Yes! I was so surprised when I saw you just now. I didn't think I would meet you here!"
Rosa stopped in front of Damian. She took a breath and then gave him a big smile.
"Is Hilda not with you?"
"No. Damian, we are rivals! So it is not practical for us to travel together."
Rosa spoke with a giggle. She did not feel embarrassed at all.
Even though she and Hilda were very close friends, they were also rivals. Both of them were following the path of a Trainer. They did not focus on just one type; they were both multi-type Trainers. Because of this, it was difficult to travel together.
Otherwise, if they found a Pokémon they both liked, how would they decide who gets it?
For example, Rosa had recently caught a Hydreigon. If she had been traveling with Hilda, Hilda would have wanted it too. It would have been difficult to decide.
"That makes sense," Damian nodded.
Usually, two Trainers would not travel as partners unless they focused on different goals.
For example, the travel companions of Ash in the anime were always different. They were either Breeders like Brock, or Trainers who focused on one type like Misty or Iris, or Coordinators like May and Dawn.
"Damian, why did you come to Eindoak Town?" Rosa was very curious.
She had a very positive perception of Damian. He was powerful but also easy to get along with. Also, Damian was the Trainer chosen by the Dragon God of Truth, Reshiram!
"I was traveling and ended up here. How about you?"
"Emmm~ me too! I have already collected eight Gym Badges. So now I am visiting places I haven't seen before and looking for a place to perform special training." Rosa blinked her massive eyes.
"Then you must have experienced that storm just now, right, Damian? I asked around! That storm was likely caused by a Pokémon!"
"Yes. Are you interested in it?"
Damian raised an eyebrow and looked at the very excited Rosa.
" I already found out where it is. Damian, do you want to go see it? But I should tell you first, I want to try to catch this Pokémon."
Rosa extended an invitation, but she made her goal clear first.
"Of course, if I can't catch it, then you can try, Damian."
"Alright. I am quite curious about that Pokémon too."
Damian nodded.
"Then let's go! Go, go, go!!"
The girl with the hair buns was full of energy. She was very excited about unknown Pokémon.
"Wait a moment. We are waiting for one more person." Damian sent a message to Elesa.
A moment later, Elesa walked back.
"Eh? Gym Leader Elesa is still with you, Damian?"
When she saw the beautiful Elesa walking over, Rosa was astounded.
Wait, did Elesa not need to manage the Nimbasa Gym anymore?
And...
Rosa looked at Elesa in her denim shorts. She couldn't help but bite her finger.
Oh my god! Those legs were too perfect. How did they grow like that?
"Elesa was abducted by me. She is my maid now," Damian said the truth with a smile.
Elesa, who had just walked up, felt her eyelid twitch.
"Huh?" Rosa clearly did not believe it. She rolled her eyes.
"Damian, if you want a maid, you should just ask me. I am very diligent! And you only need to pay me compensation."
The girl with the hair buns patted her chest with confidence.
"No, that won't do. It would be a waste of your aptitude if you didn't stay a Trainer. You can become a Champion," Damian shook his head.
Rosa smirked. "Damian, you really have a good eye!"
Rosa laughed in a cute, silly way.
What kind of woman was dating a man like Damian?
Rosa looked at Caitlin and Elesa.
Gym Leader Elesa was definitely not Damian's girlfriend. But that elegant girl who was always with Damian did not seem like his girlfriend either.
"Damian, Damian, can I ask you a private inquiry?"
As the four of them walked toward their destination, Rosa asked Damian curiously.
"Sure. Go ahead."
Damian held a small cookie in front of the Jirachi on his shoulder.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
When she heard this question, Caitlin's eyes suddenly became intense.
Elesa also looked at Damian with curiosity.
"Yes, I have always had a girlfriend," Damian replied with a smirk.
"Ahhhhhh~"
Rosa let out a cute cry of disappointment.
Elesa was also astounded.
Naturally, Elesa looked at Caitlin.
And speaking of which, who was Damian's girlfriend?
"Mr. Damian, who is your girlfriend?" Elesa could not help but ask directly.
That girl must not be ordinary!!
That girl must have some very special strengths, right?
