"Hey, you guys are so cruel..."
After the chaos, Captain Kaifu Masahiko squatted pitifully in the corner with his head in his hands. The swelling on his forehead was almost bigger than Pichu.
"I'm just lost. There's a saying that goes well. A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands..."
"Stop, shut up!"
The sailors headed by the first mate Yukiji all gritted their teeth and geared up, desperately fighting against the urge to beat the captain again. Seeing that the murderous aura around him was about to be thicker than the fog in the Sea of Ultimate Mist, Masahiko, who had a chill on the back of his neck, quickly cleared his throat to comfort the crew.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, of course I have a battle plan! The kind that will work even if you get lost——"
"——Then you should have said it earlier! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hey, yes, yes, I'm telling you, don't hit your son..."
Probably because he was worried that the next round of siege would directly send him to meet the Poseidon, the captain did not dare to delay any longer, and ran into the house at a speed that was not inferior to that of a big bird, then ran back to the deck, spread his palms to show the crew to get it. of objects.
"As long as we have this, we can find our way in the fog."
Before anyone could see what the strange stone thing looked like, Masahiko shouted one word loudly.
"██!"
The pronunciation was clearly unfamiliar and obscure, but it penetrated into the mind like the telepathy emitted by a super-type Pokémon, making people's consciousness fall into chaos and unable to extricate themselves. Fortunately, the sudden dizziness only lasted for a short moment - when the crew members shook their heads to regain consciousness, they saw that the object in the captain's hand was shining slightly, and a very thin red light shot out from the tip, piercing straight into the hazy distance. in the mist.
Seeing that his friends were calmed by this magical scene and finally put down their sandbag-sized fists, Masahiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief before clearing his throat and starting to explain his plan.
The beginning of the matter probably started a year ago.
It was winter, but the Orange Islands in the equatorial region were still hot. Masahiko took a boat trip alone to relax and unintentionally salvaged a wonderful thing outside the Sea of Final Mist - it was a palm-sized stone talisman. The surface had been corroded by seawater and was mottled, but he could still clearly see a carved figure in the center. Weird looking characters. It looks like an unknown totem and is no stranger to ruins enthusiasts - it is exactly one of the writings that was frequently used in ancient times thousands of years ago, Umber hieroglyphics.
Anyone who has ever gotten a passing grade in a grade school history class knows that such objects are often valuable relics from ancient times. Masahiko's curiosity aroused and he spent a lot of time investigating the meaning and pronunciation of the inscriptions on it. What he never expected was that when he pronounced the word correctly for the first time, the gray-black stone glowed with a faint light, emitting a slender but extremely conspicuous light in the direction of the Sea of Ending Mist.
After many tests, he came to the conclusion: No matter where he is, the light of the stone talisman will point stubbornly towards the interior of the Sea of Mist, as if indicating that there is a hidden secret inside. This was great. The curiosity and desire for exploration in the Southern people's blood were completely aroused. The captain of the Kaiwang Maru decided to take all the crew members and follow the direction of the light for a vigorous adventure.
After listening to Masahiko's narration, the crew members looked at each other and began to reach out to touch the shiny stone talisman one after another.
"This... is quite heart-wrenching."
"So this is our goal of going to sea this time? Why didn't you tell us earlier? You should be beaten!"
"Let's not talk about what's in the fog, but it does make it possible to leave safely...for example, walking directly in the opposite direction of the light."
"Right? It's fun, isn't it? Since you're here, of course you have to come and have a look, right?"
The aborigines on the Kaiwang Maru were chatting enthusiastically, and they had begun to wonder whether the light ahead was a mountain of gold or silver, or a treasure sleeping on the bottom of the sea. The second mate and the ship's doctor looked at each other, a trace of confusion and panic in each other's eyes.
Xiaoye: "I remember... it's illegal to hold ancient relics privately, right?"
Wind Chime: "It is illegal to report to the second officer..."
For a while, the knowledge from the elementary school general knowledge class and Dr. Omu's fierce warnings were all swirling in my ears. After a moment of silence, she looked at the cheerful people in the South and decided to give up recalling for the time being how many years she would have to spend in jail for this crime.
Xiaoye: "Forget it, the captain is the boss now, listen to him." (Uneasy)
Wind Chime: "Obey...obey!" (uneasy)
anyway--
The "ancient laser pointing instrument" was so mysterious that it captured the hearts of southerners almost instantly. The crew members were all in high spirits, and no longer spoke of shrinking, and they all looked expectantly at the captain.
Kaifu Masahiko waved his hand, and his high-spirited shouts rumbled through the fog.
"Target, the end of the light - Kaiwang Maru, let's go!"
"Oh oh oh--"
Accompanied by bursts of cheers, the fishing boat set sail again.
The captain holding the stone talisman stood at the front of the deck, roaring from time to time to relight the extinguished light, and also brought some noise impact to the sailors. The second officer left his fixed post - the visibility in the fog was really limited. Even if he climbed up to the watchtower, he couldn't see anything clearly. He might as well be stationed on the deck.
The searchlights on the towering observation tower are fully turned on, illuminating the sea with maximum power, so that people can barely judge whether there are any obstacles such as rocks ahead; the fire-breathing dragon on patrol can also circle around the lights to avoid getting lost in the sea of fog. direction...or hit an obstacle.
——Before the searchlight was turned on, it hit the mast a total of thirteen times, trying not to turn itself into a skull dragon. If the Charizard family could learn the iron head move, they must be proficient in it by now.
At this moment when her vision was severely blocked, Xiaoye couldn't help but miss the supersonic bats that could be seen everywhere in the mountain caves in the Kanto area. If they are present, using ultrasound to explore the surroundings is much more reliable than visual acuity. It's a pity that there are no Pokémon on the ship who are good at this. The only one with different detection abilities is...
Too pitiful to look at.
Xiaoye couldn't help but squat down and reached out to touch the wet forehead of the drowned puppy. Riolu lay motionless in the pool of water, looking like he was about to melt into it and turn into puppy soup.
"Are you really not going to go back to the poke ball and rest for a while?"
"Woo..."
Riolu made a sound of refusal angrily, not caring that the sun coral next to him had turned into a fire coral.
The stubborn little dog seemed determined to fight seasickness to the death and refused to leave the deck no matter what. Doctor Coral was so angry that she had no choice but to flick the life water droplets to express her anger. Seeing that the "life rain" was about to turn into a "life tsunami", Xiaoye wisely took two steps back and decided to respect the Pokémon's wishes no longer. to persuade it.
Since Riolu can't cheer up for the time being, the only option left is...
Xiaoye shook her head, returned to the cabin and started rummaging through her backpack for the medicine bottle she just got yesterday.
Before boarding the ship, she had purchased two bottles of nutritional supplements with complicated names as ordered by her doctor in order to cure the sequelae of ability overload as soon as possible. Right now, she had to activate the power of the waveguide in advance. In order to prevent the "muscle soreness" from getting closer to the swelling on Charizard's forehead, it was safer to add more nutrition.
She poured the pills into the palm of her hand with ease, and just as she stuffed them into her mouth, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye.
The door to the lounge was blown open by the sea breeze at some point, and the wind chime that was passing by in the corridor stared at her blankly, its round blue eyes gradually widening.
Night:"……"
The person taking the medicine accidentally swallowed the pills raw without having time to drink water.
"You...what's wrong with you! Sit down and rest! Do you need my help! No, please let me help you!!"
The military doctor's professional nerves were instantly triggered. The nine-year-old girl flashed in front of Xiaoye at a speed that even a big bird would be ashamed of. She nervously checked her body up and down to see if it was intact. For a moment, Xiaoye's mind was full of the angry appearance of Sun Coral, and she didn't dare to tell the truth. She subconsciously handed the medicine bottle in her hand to the wind chime.
"Do you like mango flavor?"
"...?"
Feng Chime's mind suddenly stopped as soon as he entered working mode. The person opposite had grabbed her hand without any explanation and poured a pill into her palm.
"I heard from my friends that eating this regularly can help you grow taller. Do you want to try it?"
"Follow...obey orders..."
Muscle memory of obeying the command caused her to subconsciously put the pill in her mouth. The sweet smell brought back his senses, and Feng Chime took a closer look at the medicine bottle in the second deputy's hand - it indeed looked like a common nutritional supplement on the market.
"..."
The military cadet wanted to speak but hesitated, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Reporting to the second officer, this nutritional supplement can only replenish physical strength and cannot make people grow taller."
"Huh? How could this happen..."
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the cabin side by side, and Xiaoye confirmed without leaving a trace that there was no doubt on the ship's doctor's face, that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the doctor only recommended ordinary nutritional pills for her, otherwise she would not have been able to get through this time...
……Wait a moment.
Xiaoye shook her head, suddenly feeling that the farce she had just experienced was somewhat familiar. Did someone say something similar not long ago during that thrilling adventure on the Snowy Mountains?
"boom!"
Before he could think about it, a loud noise came from the deck. Xiaoye looked up and was immediately startled by the scene in front of her.
I saw a huge black shadow leaping out of the sea and slamming into the boat - the giant spider was more than two meters tall, and its ferocious face could make even the most noisy southern children dare not say a word; it was swinging six rapidly The pointed feet moved on the deck, and there were long and unknown long black objects under their feet that were rolled up and flew around. At first glance, it looked like an "Alien" was being staged.
Night:"……"
Is this really what a medic's Pokémon partner should look like?
Why can beautiful seaweed be stretched like tentacles?
The Pokémon that's "darkly crawling"—Windchime's Drippy—is actually just completing the job of a sailor.
There was nothing to do during the voyage. The crew's water Pokémon were swimming with the ship, stretching their muscles, and fishing for red seaweed that was abundant in the southern part of the Orange Islands. The well-trained Pokémon from the military school immediately joined in and started working together with their mosquito-repellent frog friends.
——And scared his friends to the point of becoming as stiff as a Kyogre sculpture.
Among the many Pokémon, the insect type is the race with the most terrifying appearance. Even an experienced free trainer who is used to exploring the wild will feel his heart beat faster when he is suddenly face to face with a Styrus Bee or King Centipede. Drippy is one of the best. It has been ranked in the top ten in the list of "the scariest looking Pokémon" all year round. I am afraid that only the Gigantamax Flame Centipede has the confidence to dominate it.
Now facing Feng Chi, the oversized Drip Spider Tyrant, even the self-proclaimed bold and daring Yukinosuke could not help but quietly take two steps back.
——No way, the southern people’s stereotype of water spiders is that they are thin, small, cute, and can evolve into rain-winged moths. Where have you seen such ferocious creatures that can string three crew members together with just one stretch of their legs? beast!
The ship's doctor had already started to comfort the sailors dutifully, saying that his partner was actually gentle and close to humans. He also shared her "warm daily life" of being stuffed with blisters and having the dripping spider's forehead pressed against hers. The crew members and the ship frogs all suddenly understood, nodding and stepping back step by step, expressing their yearning for this scene with blue faces.
Xiao Ye picked up the seaweed that was scattered on the deck. When she looked up, she saw that most of the area had been cleaned up by the Drip Spider. It rolled up the seaweed with its flexible feet and neatly stacked it in the corner. At first glance, it looked like a pile of large kimbap.
"Tick tock."
The sound of tiny drops of water made the second officer follow the sound and look forward. She saw blankly that the originally plump blisters of Drip Spider Ba became pitted, and the entire blisters flattened twice, with drops of water falling from time to time.
The wind chime still looked serious, saluting Xiaoye meticulously.
"Report to Second Mate, you don't have to worry, it's just crying."
Night:"……"
My conscience ached.
She thought for a moment and walked forward holding a large pile of thick seaweed.
The Drip Spider seemed to be well aware of his scary appearance. Upon seeing this, he quickly shrank into the corner, with his six long insect legs curled together nervously. But the purple-haired human walked closer and closer, until the hem of his clothes touched its toes before finally stopping and lifting up the heavy pile of seaweed.
"Thank you for helping me sort it out - can you please help me with these too?"
"..."
After the air froze for ten seconds, Drip Spider's blisters shook, then suddenly burst with a pop and flowed all over the floor.
Night:"!?"
Xiaoye: "Ship doctor, where is the ship doctor! Please save your Pokémon, it's broken——"
The short wind chime rushed out after hearing the news, and was almost staggered by the current. After finally regaining her balance, she turned up the volume with a straight face, trying to cover up the uproar of the sailors on the deck.
"Tell the second officer, you don't have to worry, it's just crying."
The bewildered second officer spent ten minutes to finally calm down the giant spider, which "cryed with joy when being touched by a human being".
She sighed and left the seaweed pile and walked to the front of the deck, where she could finally start her job as a scout.
Like the ripples of water droplets entering the sea, the power of the waveguide unfolds gently and softly, seeping into the foggy air and pitch-black water. The power was colorless and soundless, and even the most discerning Pokémon could not detect it; only Riolu's lower ears moved slightly, receiving a wary glance from Sun Coral.
A slight sting will not affect Xiaoye's control of her abilities. She diligently scans the nearby sea every ten minutes, always on guard against ferocious wild Pokémon that may attack.
Deep into this point, there are almost no traces of flying birds in the sky, only lone fish and shrimps occasionally pass by the boat. The patrolman Charizard was so bored that he almost dozed off while flying, so he simply plunged his head into the sea to refresh himself. The mosquito-repellent frog that was fishing for seaweed and the passing Magikarp jumped up in panic, and their heads hit each other like stars.
It wasn't until the twenty-third time she launched the detection field of the waveguide power that Xiaoye suddenly noticed something abnormal.
Her fingers gently touched the keystone on her belt, and the silent but strong thoughts spread instantly and rushed into Charizard's brain. The next moment, it soared from the sea, a huge vortex of flames swirling and lighting up the sky, and even the ubiquitous fog was evaporated for a moment.
The crew members looked up in shock and saw a familiar dark shadow hidden behind the fire.
"Captain, there are Qingpiaopiao approaching our ship, about twenty in number. Excuse me..."
"Hey, it's okay."
Xiaoye was interrupted mid-sentence. Kaifu Masahiko waved his hand and showed off his shiny watch dial to the second officer.
"It's half past eleven, it's time for lunch."
"..."
Seeing the newcomers looking at him with disbelief in their eyes, the captain finally put down his fishing rod and stood up with a smile.
"Don't worry, just follow me!"
At the critical moment when the malicious ghost jellyfish flew towards the fishing boat, the crew was led to the cabin. The crowd stormed into the restaurant angrily, and the captain opened the kitchen door and took out a piece of red seaweed that was longer than the Drip Spider's leg.
"Chef, this is the longest seaweed we have harvested today! Please accept it!"
As soon as these words came out, the three newcomers stretched their necks out of curiosity - for no other reason, it had been a whole day since they boarded the ship. They had never seen the chef show up, and they were even guessing that the rice on the ship was automatically fried by high-tech equipment. .
The not-so-large kitchen was in front of me, and there was still no one to be found. There was only an egg sitting on the workbench... and so on.
They stared blankly as the blue light flashed in the eyes of Dandan, who was wearing a mini chef's hat. The wide and large seaweed instantly split into countless small pieces and flew into Dandan's mouth like wind. Theoretically, the volume of the two-meter-long piece of seaweed was probably equal to at least ten eggs, but it was swallowed up completely in a few seconds. Sailor Kazuo couldn't help but rub his eyes, and began to doubt whether physics existed. .
"Chef, it's almost lunch time, but there are still a few ghosts outside who want to steal our food!"
With a flattering smile on his face that greatly reduced the captain's dignity, Masahiko Kaifu loudly complained to Dandan in the kitchen. The "chef" immediately nodded solemnly, and all ten eyes on the five faces lit up with dazzling blue lights.
Just a loud noise was heard, and an invisible shock wave erupted in the silent sea, stirring up a huge wave like a tsunami. The surf performed by ten mosquito-repellent frogs may not be so spectacular, and even twenty more frogs cannot compete with such majestic mental power. However, the fishing boat remained strangely stable in the center of the storm. Only the sound penetrated seamlessly into the cabin, frightening the newcomers who had just boarded the boat.
Xiaoye silently took back the power of the waveguide and decided not to worry about the safety of the Kaiwang Maru.
Judging from the speed at which the Qingpiaopiao were blown away, they probably won't be able to come back within a month...
The "crisis" was over, and the crew of the Kaiwang Maru happily opened the wine barrels, set out the glasses, and prepared to start the long-awaited lunch.
Chef Dandan's craftsmanship is unambiguous. One head has just washed the vegetables, and the other head quickly chops them up, and then gives them to the next head to stir-fry. The young people were dazzled by the series of super-powered suspended cooking creations, and the aroma of food that hit their noses was even more eye-catching. The newcomers couldn't help but start whispering among themselves, discussing the feasibility of capturing an egg and cultivating this ability after getting off the ship.
Soon, freshly baked dishes were delivered to the table like water. The hungry southern people ate happily, and everyone could talk and laugh clearly with their mouths full of food. After three rounds of drinking, they took advantage of the excitement to sing a barcarolle. The wild and clumsy intonation made Pichu's eyes darken, and he buried himself directly in his trainer's pocket, unwilling to face the world.
The second mate and the ship's doctor, the only two men who were not drunk, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Seeing that the best singing member on the Kaiwang Maru, the Mosquito Frog Emperor, collapsed and ran out of the cabin holding his head, Xiaoye couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for the eardrums that had been tortured for many years.
The door of the restaurant, which was knocked open by the Mosquito-repellent Frog King, swayed with the sea breeze, diluting the pungent smell of wine a little. The next second, Xiao Ye and Feng Ling, who were sitting at the outermost seats, were stunned at the same time.
Amidst the white noise of the waves crashing against the side of the ship, there seemed to be a faint sound of singing coming along with the wind, drifting into my ears. The voice was as low as nothing, like a woman's soft lament, or like a ghost's suppressed cry; its melody was not exciting, and the melodious melody contained a bit of sadness, but it penetrated into the mind more strongly than the heavy drum beats, disturbing people. mood.
At that moment, the movements of all the crew members in the restaurant suddenly froze. The stagnant brain could not squeeze out thoughts, and the emotions became as rigid as iron. Only one thought kept reverberating in the mind.
"Want to see you...Want to see you..."
The dreamlike spinning seemed to last for days and nights, and it seemed to be just a short moment. What woke the crew was another loud song.
The originally soft curly hair of the Mosquito-repellent Frog King was stretched straight, and his throat had swelled to a terrifying level. It sang the Kaiohmaru boat song loudly, and the rolling sound turned into a hurricane, sweeping away all the fog that invaded the mind, leaving only clarity and fighting spirit.
Everyone realized something was wrong.
They shouted twice briefly, and rushed out of the cabin with their companions to the deck. When the crew members saw everything in front of them clearly, their steps were frozen in place as if they were petrified.
At some point, a huge black shadow appeared on the sea in front of the fishing boat.
The pale light of the searchlight was running at full power, which could not increase the visibility by many meters. Despite this, surrounded by heavy fog, people were still so shocked that they could hardly breathe.
The top of that gigantic figure was almost invisible, and even if you tried your best to raise your head, you could only see a mass of darkness. It was like a mountain rising from an isolated island, standing majestically right in front of the Kaiwang Maru. Human beings' innate fear of giant things immediately broke out, and cold sweat instantly spread on everyone's back.
"What the hell, it's about to hit us! Left full rudder——"
The captain, who had completely sobered up, almost shouted out loud. The first mate had silently rushed into the cab, trying to steer the fishing boat to avoid the sudden obstacle.
The next second, the "mountain" moved.
