"Thanks," Shiranui said to Nurse Joy.
"Congrats to you too," replied Shiranui, "So how long until the Silver Conference starts?"
"I got Buta to evolve to a Mamoswine," answered Shiranui, "And I caught a couple more new friends."
Shiranui returned and healed his Pokémon as well. "We meet again, Liam," he said.
Shiranui mused on his battle with Ho-Oh as he flew on Kaki back to Mt. Silver. "You really put up a good fight, Ho-Oh," he thought, "It took four Ultra Balls to catch you."
Shiranui had entered the Bell Tower and was making his way up, defeating any Rattata that dared to interrupted his climb. "He knows I caught Raijuu," he said to himself, "He'll be in for a surprise when he faces Kitakaze and hopefully Ho-Oh as well." Buta had evolved to a Piloswine by the time Shiranui found some warp pads. "Did whoever built this place import these from Saffron?" he asked himself as he negotiated the maze of pads and ramps.

After defeating another pesky Rattata near the steps to the roof, Buta had evolved again; this time to a Mamoswine. Shiranui climbed to the roof where he saw Ho-Oh perched near the golden spire.
"Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokémon. It will reveal itself before a pure-hearted Trainer by shining its bright, rainbow-coloured wings."
"Ho-Oh, you've been my motivation for the past four years and now I ask if you'll accept my challenge to a battle," Shiarnui requested. With a squawk and a flapping of wings that created a brief rainbow in their wake, Ho-Oh accepted the battle and Shiranui sent Ruiji out.

"Ruiji, Stone Edge!" Ho-Oh blew a searing golden flame at Ruiji and Shiranui consulted his Pokédex. Ruiji was scorched, but only suffered minor damage from the attack.
"Sacred Fire, a physical Fire-type move. The target is razed with a mystical fire of great intensity. It may also leave the target with a burn." Ruiji conjured a ring around his branch-like arm that turned into various stones orbiting like a planetary ring system before throwing a punch. The attack struck Ho-Oh for heavy damage due to exploiting a double weakness and Shiranui readied an Ultra Ball.
"Ultra Ball, go!" Shiranui threw the Ultra Ball and Ho-Oh was drawn in. After half a minute of shaking, the Ultra Ball popped open and Ho-Oh unleashed another Sacred Fire inferno, this time leaving Ruiji with a burn. Shiranui threw another Ultra Ball and Ho-Oh was drawn in. It didn't take nearly as long for Ho-Oh to escape and this time, the sunlight grew harsh from the bird using Sunny Day. Ruiji felt the attrition damage from the burn and Ho-Oh was panting. Shiranui tried another Ultra Ball and Ho-Oh escaped after half a minute of shaking, unleashing another Sacred Fire on Ruiji. Because of the sunlight, the Sacred Fire did enough damage for Ruiji to succumb to the burn.

"Ruiji, return; Hitsuji, I choose you!" Shiranui switched the fallen Sudowoodo for his Ampharos and the battle was on. "Hitsuji, Thunder Wave! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui activated the keystone on his Mega Ring and Hitsuji became a Mega Ampharos. Ho-Oh breathed out a golden flame that formed a 大 shape and Hitsuji was engulfed. Hitsuji felt minor damage thanks to the Dragon type his Mega form granted, but it was still a lot. The Mega Ampharos zapped Ho-Oh into paralysis and Shiranui threw a fourth Ultra Ball and the stricken Ho-Oh was drawn in. "Hope this one works," Shiranui said as he waited while the ball shook. Ho-Oh tried with all its limited might, but the ball pinged shut. Shiranui picked up the Ultra Ball and looked at it with both respect and awe. He decided not to name his new catch out of respect for the legendary that enamoured him through his childhood. "I'll take good care of you, Ho-Oh," he finished. Returning Hitsuji, Shiranui made his way back down through the Bell Tower. The bells on the tower had been ringing during the battle, but are now silent once again.
At that time, Shiranui was heading west along Route 42 when Suicune showed up. "Tachi, come on out!" He sent out his Espeon. "Tachi, can you link my mind with Suicune's for the sake of communication?" The Espeon nodded and linked Shiranui and Suicune's minds together.
"I am sorry, child of the moon, for running away from you," Suicune apologised.
"You are forgiven," replied Shiranui, not expecting an apology from a legendary, "May I ask why?"
"A human who was obsessed with me was nearby and I had to bail," Suicune explained, "But since he is nowhere nearby, I can proceed to do with you what I originally intended and that would be a test of your prowess in battle."
"Bring it on, Suicune!" Shiranui accepted, "Hitsuji, I choose you!"

Suicune was staring at Shiranui's Ampharos while Tachi stood next to Shiranui. The mind link was severed and the battle was on. "Hitsuji, Thunder Wave! Mega Ring activate!" Hitsuji was encased in an orb of energy until a Mega Ampharos popped out. Suicune fired a Bubble Beam and Hitsuji was buffeted by the bubbles before zapping Suicune into paralysis. "Electro Ball!" Hitsuji conjured an orb of electricity and threw it at Suicune. With the legendary paralysed, the ball electrocuted Suicune for major damage. Suicune couldn't move from the paralysis. "Hitsuji, Discharge!" The Mega Ampharos loosed a flare of electricity that zapped Suicune for enough damage for the legendary to barely survive. Suicune fired an Aurora Beam that blasted Hitsuji for as much damage as it suffered before.

"Ultra Ball, go!" Shiranui threw an Ultra Ball at Suicune and the latter was drawn in. The ball shook a lot and Shiranui waited with bated breath for what he hoped the ball would do. A loud ping was heard and Shiranui picked up the now-still Ultra Ball. "I guess I passed your test, Kitakaze," he commented, naming the captured Suicune in the process. Tachi was pleased to have yet another new friend added to the ranks.

A distant squawk was heard by Shiranui as he looked at the Bell Tower on the horizon.
Shiranui had Oak rotate some of his Pokémon around as well.
"It had been treated here," corrected Shiranui, putting the emphasis on the past tense.
Shiranui presented his Pokédex and badges and was also registered. "You call us noobs and yet you throw a Poké Ball at a Jolteon without weakening it," Shiranui stated to the trainer, "Such hypocritical arrogance is unbecoming of a future champion. Oh, and FYI: we were grand finalists in the Kanto League."
