The deafening sound of the radio rang throughout the ship. When the leisurely sailors on the deck were frightened and rushed to the side of the ship to look into the distance, the new second officer at the top was calmly lowering his eyes, examining the poisonous tentacles and scarlet hidden under the sea ahead. Gemstones sparkle.
——To be honest, even though she was forced to serve as the deputy captain of [Dawn], she had never experienced such a difficult command operation.
Not to mention the fighting style, strengths and weaknesses, Xiaoye didn't even know what Pokémon the crew had. At this moment, she felt ten times more confused than when she picked out Magikarp as a partner on the rock battlefield in elementary school battle class. However, the usually free and unruly sailors were extremely obedient at the moment. They were all holding Poké Balls and staring at the watchtower with glowing eyes, clearly waiting for the second officer's instructions.
In this case, we can only...
Before his thoughts fell, huge water splashed along with the waves, piercing the originally calm sea surface. Densely packed onyx jellyfish rose from the water, waving their ferocious tentacles and approaching the Kaiwang Maru, and were within easy reach in an instant.
A lone Onyx Jellyfish is not the most threatening Pokémon in the ocean. However, once they form a group, their temperament will become much more ferocious than usual, and they will begin to attack passing ships indiscriminately. In the Orange Islands area more than ten years ago, the overflow of agate jellyfish once made it difficult for cruise ships to pass, and the tourism industry declined. The locals were forced to spend a lot of money to hire trainers to assist, and the drive and capture work lasted for two years. It finally works.
For people born and raised in southern China, "Sailor vs. Jellyfish Swarm" is a story they have heard since childhood, and they are also familiar with the common attack methods of agate jellyfish. For example now——
The menacing wild Pokémon did not crash into the solid side of the Kaiohmaru. As the distance got closer, the agate jellyfish in the front row quickly formed an array, and the rubies that gathered the energy of the sun flashed together, shooting twisted and dangerous lasers at the people on the bow!
Xiaoye put down the walkie-talkie and whispered instructions to her Pokémon partner.
"Storm Realm."
As soon as the words fell, huge waves swept over and the wind howled.
Golden birds soaring in the sky swooped down, and tornadoes mixed with electric current ruthlessly ravaged the sea, twisting even the sparse clouds in the distant sky to pieces; while Gyarados stirred waves in the depths of the sea, and the vortex was like the mouth of a giant beast. , mercilessly devouring all living things on the sea.
The crew of the Kaiwang Maru were almost dumbfounded as they watched what was happening in front of them: Gyarados and Dabi Bird teamed up to create a waterspout that reached all over the sky. Not to mention the few rays of light, even the Kyogre sculpture on the bow of the ship was almost destroyed. Swallow them together. The soft-bodied agate jellyfish couldn't resist the huge water flow. It was sucked into the tornado and couldn't move. The entire queue was like a target on a shooting range, completely exposed to the firepower of the front of the fishing boat.
"All crew members - focus the attack!"
The clear instructions on the radio revived the sailors' fighting spirit. They happily threw the Poké Balls and blew the whistles hanging on their chests.
As early as when she was riding the Sea Flame Horse, Xiaoye knew that people in the South would use conch whistles to give orders in order to conveniently transmit sounds to their partners in the water. Along with the penetrating whistle, countless Pokémon jumped out from the deck, the cabin, and the sea water, and launched a powerful blow towards the magnificent waterspout.
The explosion caused by the fierce energy collision was comparable to thunder, and the shock wave carried water up into the sky, and then hit the deck, bringing an artificial downpour. The agate jellyfish that were knocked unconscious by the waterspout simply could not withstand such an impact. They all turned around and fell into the sea with their heads covered, and the "jellyfish rain" they presented did not lose any momentum.
The sailors had started cheering, but the trainer on the tower remained calm. Her eyes traveled through the showers and wind waves, catching every surviving individual from the huge jellyfish group and examining their movements.
"There is going to be a supersonic attack on the left front, please be careful!"
"Got the order!"
Captain Masahiko Kaifu didn't seem to care at all about the origin of the temporary second officer's order. He held down his hat with one hand and shouted the name of his partner excitedly; the mosquito-repellent frog king snoozing on the sculpture suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his sonorous chant rolled out like ocean waves - until the sound waves collided with each other in the distance, arousing strong air agitation. , they realized that there was indeed an invisible murderous intention that was successfully intercepted.
The chaotic sound and the noise of the sailors made the whole deck a mess. After the mosquito-repellent frog king finished singing a complete chorus, Masahiko finally heard clearly that the eldest son, the first mate, seemed to be yelling at him at the top of his voice——
"Watch the right side?"
The captain muttered and turned his head, and was shocked to see a huge wave several meters high very close at hand. The starboard side of the Kaiohmaru was about to suffer a heavy blow.
Only a swarm of over a hundred agate jellyfish can do this—relying on the mysterious spiritual power flowing in rubies to briefly control the ocean currents. It is unknown how many fishing boats have been capsized by them in the Central Ocean. The captain's pupils dilated and he subconsciously clenched the elf ball at his waist.
——And the thrilling scene only lasted for a short moment.
The next moment, the sharp blade falling from the sky split the water curtain, and the seemingly majestic waves were easily cut into two pieces. Not a drop of water could break through the strong wind and stain the feathers of the big bird; the water dragon roared and charged, its strong and powerful long tail curling The bottom-up ocean current directly throws all the jellyfish groups trying to stir up wind and rain into the air.
The instructions on the radio to "concentrate the attack" arrived at the right time. The water cannons and water cannons were flying into the sky, and the big bird was carrying a storm of electricity to match it, causing the formation of the agate jellyfish to completely fall apart.
For a moment, the sky seemed to be raining jellyfish, and even the Pichus on the watchtower began to join the battle, flashing left and right, and were very busy.
The bright electric attack cast Asuka's shadow onto the deck, causing First Officer Kaifu Kouji to notice something was wrong. He looked up suddenly, just in time to see a large-billed gull leaning towards the figure on the watchtower.
Among the agate jellyfish swarms in the Orange Islands, there are always a few exceptionally smart guys who can use this little trick - using ultrasonic waves to confuse Pokémon's minds and make them temporarily obey their orders. The poor big-billed gull had an agate jellyfish tightly wrapped around its abdomen. The harsh sound waves had already made it dazed, and it rushed forward without caring whether it was a human or a ghost.
The watchtower of the Kaiwang Maru was too high, and Yukiji had no time to help him. But before his anxious shouts reached the ears of the second officer, the electric light from high up suddenly subsided.
The originally sharp golden light gently spread out and turned into a network, covering the entire top of the tower, causing the big-billed gull to crash into it. The moderately strong current brought just the right stinging sensation, causing the innocent seabirds to wake up suddenly and struggle to fly away from the battlefield.
The cunning jellyfish obviously knows who is the commander of this battle. Seeing that humans had to jump onto the ladder to avoid the power grid, and were in a dangerous situation with no way out, the agate jellyfish decisively opened its tentacles and pounced forward——
"Bang!"
The huge sound shocked the sailors on the deck who raised their heads to watch the battle. They saw the unlucky jellyfish being grabbed by its tentacles and turned into a meteor hammer, its head directly kissing the mast, the ruby turned from red to green and then purple, and it almost spewed out salty water.
Perhaps because he was worried that the current had not dissipated, the second officer simply jumped off the tower and landed safely on the deck. After throwing the unconscious agate jellyfish aside, she looked around and looked at each other with the sailors.
"..."
"..."
"The battle should be considered over...?"
Xiaoye was stared at so much that she doubted herself, and began to wonder whether it would be better to climb back to the watchtower first.
In the silence, only the captain laughed cheerfully.
"Well done!"
"Guys, get ready for the finishing touches—"
When the sailors began to clean up the mess, and the unconscious jellyfish scattered all over the place were indeed no longer able to stir up trouble, Xiaoye could finally relax her mind temporarily. The boulders hanging on her belt gradually converged their light and stopped flickering.
——As we all know, the "Key Stone" is not a prop that can only be used to assist mega evolution.
The essence of Mega Evolution is that the trainer and the Pokémon are connected, using resonant emotions and will to activate the body's potential, allowing the Pokémon to temporarily release its hidden power. Keystones and Super Stones are just amplifiers of the resonance effect. For long-standing partners, miracles of super evolution without relying on any props happen from time to time. Similar news appears in the Trainer Daily every year, and is coveted by thousands of young people. chase.
As a "mental amplifier", the Key Stone can convey the trainer's will to the Pokémon with a deep bond, but the effect is weak and the transmitted voice is not clear. Repeated tests and exercises have proven that the only short messages it can carry are "attack" and "retreat" - which is more than enough to deal with the simple battle just now, at least it is much more decent than the trainer himself yelling repeatedly into the walkie-talkie. .
"Close the net!"
As the captain shouted, the translucent fishing net was raised high. The dizzy onyx jellyfish clattered onto the deck, instinctively raising their poisonous tentacles to warn the surroundings.
Seeing the sailors grabbing the jellyfish they liked and starting a battle, Xiaoye was about to take out the Poké Ball and join them when a big hand pressed down on her shoulder.
First mate Yukiji Kaifu still had a face that could scare a child into crying. Xiaoye saw him staring at her with piercing eyes, and seemed to be muttering something like "Are you looking down on us?" - but in the end, Xinglu just shook his head and said firmly: "This is not your job."
Xiaoye blinked and took back the Poke Ball obediently.
There is no need to explain too much. The captain has already shouted "catch a jellyfish in exchange for a glass of good wine". Now if he goes to compete with the sailors for "performance", he will probably be mobbed collectively.
Each onyx jellyfish was quickly knocked down, imprisoned in the elf ball, and safely transported to the treatment cabin for temporary storage. This is a common way for southerners to deal with jellyfish flooding - most temporarily captured agate jellyfish will be transported to the ocean and released to prevent them from invading offshore ships again. A small number of exceptionally strong guys will be retained and sent to the island dojo for domestication and cultivation. No kid from the South can refuse an onyx jellyfish to become his first Pokémon - that is the famous sea bully and fish killer, much cooler than the Magikarp and the Starfish!
The jellyfish swarms that had collapsed had begun to flee in a hurry. The sailors seized the last opportunity to cast their nets and try to catch as many as possible. Xiaoye, who was unable to intervene, had to temporarily carry the medicine box with Feng Chime, chase the sailor's injured Pokémon and spray them with medicine.
Hearing the two newcomers muttering about how cute the water-leap fish was and how cute the mosquito tadpole was, he didn't expect that there would be such a rare Pokémon named Yunyun with floating bubbles on the ship. First mate Xinglu was suddenly startled.
Could it be that……
That annoying second mate brat with the proud eyes and long head would choose to take over most of the battle by himself, leaving only some water jets for others to spray the waves, not because he looked down on the strength of the crew, but because …
"Captain." Xinglu said with a cold face, stretched out his hand to tug on his father's cloak, and pulled him out of the pile of jellyfish, "I have a question."
"Have you handed over the table recording the Pokémon held by the crew and their fighting style to the second officer?"
"ha?"
Masahiko waved his hand nonchalantly, "We don't need that thing - even if the second mate makes the mosquito-repellent frog king breathe fire, we sea men can do it with momentum!"
Xinglu: "..."
Xinglu: "What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard daddy!!"
After a while, the agate jellyfish group disappeared without a trace, and the sea surface became calm again.
The sailors exchanged the elf balls for the wine they longed for, and Xiaoye finally received a belated crew information form. Regardless - after a fruitful victory, the Kaiowa Maru was able to set sail again.
The journey was calm and peaceful. When the sun rose above their heads, they arrived at the first stop of the trip, the Coral Sea [Japanese: サンゴうみ, English: Coral_Sea].
It is said that thousands of years ago when the weather was hotter, the Orange Islands once had incredibly vast and beautiful coral reefs, and the colorful land stretched for hundreds of miles, giving this place the reputation of "Coral Islands". Today, climate change and human activities have caused the coral reefs to become increasingly scarce, and only the waters south of Little Orange Island, far away from the city, can glimpse the beauty of the past.
Looking around, the water is so clear that it is almost translucent, and the colorful coral branches are shining with luster, almost as gorgeous as gems. Many tourists gathered in the shallows to take photos and play, and there were also many fishing boats busy working to salvage the unique seafood of the Coral Sea.
The Kaiwang Maru is also here for this purpose - they need to collect beautiful coral branches, pearls produced by oysters and pearl oysters, and delicious red seaweed. If these specialties were transported to the interior of Kanto, they would fetch a surprisingly good price.
Theoretically, underwater collection work requires wearing a diving suit, but southerners with good water resistance are simply unwilling to touch that complicated equipment. They changed into their swimsuits, put on their swimming goggles and respirators, and went into the water lightly. The sound of popping was heard all the time, and the momentum was no less impressive than the jellyfish rain just now.
The newcomers who were studying how to put on diving suits looked at each other and put down the objects in their hands hesitantly.
——According to their experience in getting along with the crew in the past few hours, if they take the diving suit to ask the captain now, they will probably only get answers such as "I don't understand", "Troublesome" and "I haven't worn it yet".
Xiaoye hurried back to the cabin to change into her swimsuit. As soon as she entered the lounge, she saw that the screen of the mobile phone placed beside her pillow was flashing, and new message notifications kept popping up. Apparently, a brother and sister were chatting happily in the group.
She browsed through the message records and saw that Xiaojie and Xiaoling started 30,000 words of wild imagination around "how many southerners are the real southern captains", from kicking Kyogre to punching Lugia. Down. The few caring greetings from the captain Xiaotian were wrapped up in them and had a thin sense of existence, which looked extremely pitiful.
Vice Captain Mingxiao had no choice but to laugh and shake his head. Just when she was about to say hello to everyone and go to work first, new news popped up.
[Xiaojie: If you ask me, people from the True South Country should enter the Sea of Ending Fog! 】
[Xiaoling: That’s right, we’ve already passed by the Coral Sea, why don’t we try to go further! Xiaoye, don’t forget to take some photos of sea monsters for us——】
Night:"……"
The smile disappears.
====================
small theater:
Xiaoye: My companion is indeed a person with super powers, and he is very good at predicting the future! (praise)
