Chapter 481: Sun Beam? No, Sun Blade!
Chapter 481: Sun Beam? No, Sun Blade!
A sailboat glided across the vast ocean, its size seeming insignificant compared to the immensity of the sea.
Jinghe sat at the bow, under a parasol, fishing.
Lil' Locha and Tyrogue, exhausted from playing, lay beside his chair, basking in the sun and dozing contentedly.
Especially Lil' Locha, who, having grown closer to Jinghe, no longer felt "kidnapped." With Tyrogue by her side, she didn't even think about Locha.
Splash!
Herona reeled in her rod, and a Magikarp splashed out of the water, landing in a bucket beside her.
Jinghe glanced at his other bucket, which was empty except for seawater, and his eyes twitched.
This didn't make sense.
"No need to look, you haven't caught anything yet," Jadira said mockingly from Herona's side.
"You talk as if you've caught a lot," Jinghe retorted.
"Sister Bamboo caught three, I caught one, and even Gramps caught two. What about you?" Jadira said, giving him a sidelong glance.
"Hngga~~"
Gramps grinned, sticking out his tongue. Even he rarely had such good luck fishing.
Thanks to Jinghe's "contrast."
"My bait must be expired," Jinghe muttered.
Hmm?
As he spoke, Jinghe paused, feeling that the words sounded familiar.
Herona smiled, stretched lazily, and removed her black coat, revealing her graceful curves. She then stood up.
"You..."
Jinghe turned around abruptly.
According to the "plot," a large stone should have struck him from behind at this moment.
"Hmm?"
Herona, who had just walked behind him, was startled by his sudden turn.
"Nothing," Jinghe said, clenching his fist and coughing lightly.
He hadn't offered to be a mediator, but his thoughts had run wild.
"Where are you going?" he quickly changed the subject.
"It's too hot. I'm going to change clothes," Herona replied without much thought, gently tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Wait for me, Sister Bamboo! I'll go too!" Jadira immediately put down her fishing rod and followed.
Change... clothes?
Sun, sea, and fishing... These elements combined in Jinghe's mind, and an image flashed through his thoughts.
He felt his nose heat up slightly.
"Cough."
"Hngga?"
Gramps seemed to understand something, grinning mischievously as he moved closer to Jinghe with his fishing rod.
"What... what are you doing?"
Jinghe snapped out of his thoughts. "Watch closely. I'll definitely catch a big one today, and I'll make fish head soup for lunch!"
"Hngga~(д.)"
Gramps looked unconvinced, leaning in with his head, his cold purple cheek almost touching Jinghe's face.
"Yoji.(ε`)" Tyrogue smacked his lips.
"Guwu woo o.(ε`)" Lil' Locha murmured.
Fish head soup, not roasted pigeons, would be fine.
"No more peeping, or you won't get any!" Jinghe said, feeling a bit guilty as he looked at Gramps.
Gramps immediately raised his hand, indicating that he would behave.
But his mocking gaze seemed to see right through Jinghe.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Jinghe felt the fishing rod in his hand sink, and his face lit up with joy. Finally, a fish was on the line!
He pulled the rod with force, and amidst the sparkling fishing line and splashing water, an orange Gyarados drew a beautiful arc in the air.
It finally fell onto the deck, its eyes wide open.
"Hngga~~"
Gramps pointed at the dazed Gyarados and burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Jinghe ground his teeth. "I need a carp for fish head soup!"
"Hngga!"
Gramps also exclaimed in surprise and pulled his fishing rod, and he, too, had caught a fish!
Then, the two Gyarados flopped on the deck in a rhythmic manner, as if slapping Jinghe and Gramps in the face.
Jinghe & Gramps: "."
Had they stumbled upon a Gyarados nest again?
Wait, why was it a nest again?
"It doesn't matter. Neither the Gyarados nor the Magikarp that Herona caught can be eaten. I need to catch regular sea fish."
"Keep going, keep going."
"Gucha~!"
Under the watchful eyes of Bite Shark, Lucario, and the rest of Herona and Jadira's Pokemon, Flame Blade Ghost transformed into Crimson Armor Knight.
"Huh?"
"Ruka?"
Question marks appeared above the heads of Bite Shark and Lucario as they witnessed this transformation.
What was happening?
"Gucha~"
However, Crimson Armor Knight's attention was primarily focused on Roserade.
Roserade raised her two flower-like hands, and in the sunlight, countless tiny specks and points of light gathered, slowly forming a glowing sphere.
The next moment, as Roserade aimed her flowers at the distant sea...
Buzz—
A dazzling white beam of light shot out, instantly covering the distance and exploding the sea into a shower of rainbows.
Sun Beam! The entire move was released slowly, as if each detail was being carefully displayed for Crimson Armor Knight.
"Gucha."
Crimson Armor Knight looked thoughtful.
Clank! His arms came together, and the armor on his arms combined to form a golden cannon.
"Hoo!"
Even Bite Shark and Lucario's eyes shone with admiration.
Even they had to admit that this was cool.
Buzz—
Sunlight descended from the sky, gathering into Crimson Armor Knight's cannon and slowly transforming into a golden, scorching sphere.
It was just that.
When the condensed sunlight was abundant, it scattered in all directions at the end, failing to form a cohesive shape.
It failed.
However, this was only the first time Crimson Armor Knight attempted to use Sun Beam, and for such a challenging high-power move, coupled with the fact that he wasn't a Grass-type Pokemon, it was normal for him not to learn it on the first try.
But Crimson Armor Knight seemed to understand something, and he turned the button on his chest again, reverting to his Flame Blade Ghost form.
"Lucario," Lucario murmured.
This transformation was unreasonable.
Clang!
Flame Blade Ghost crossed his two blades at his chest, and the starlike sunlight gathered once more.
But this time, instead of forming a ball of light, it attached to his twin blades.
Moreover, the sunlight that had gathered this time did not disperse; instead, it gradually became more solid.
Finally.
Clang!!
The twin blades crossed, transforming into two golden blades.
Sun Blade!
Hmm?
Jinghe, who was watching this, had a strange expression.
They were clearly learning Sun Beam, but how did it end up becoming Sun Blade?
A form of lateral thinking?
In a way, yes.
After all, for both Flame Blade Ghost and Crimson Armor Knight, Sun Beam is a move that must be learned externally to master.
Either through a move tutor or through teaching.
But Sun Blade is different; this is a move that Flame Blade Ghost could originally learn. The only thing it lacked was an opportunity.
After all, Flame Blade Ghost is also a Fire-type Pokemon, so naturally, it would take a chance for it to comprehend a Grass-type move.
This time, by learning Sun Beam, it mastered the method of condensing sunlight and then unleashed Sun Blade.
"Lucario!"
Lucario waved at Flame Blade Ghost, clenching his fists at his chest and slowly extending them to the sides, causing a deep blue bone stick to appear in his hand.
Flame Blade Ghost was also not to be outdone; they were not unfamiliar with each other, and they were well aware of Lucario's strength.
They immediately held the two golden blades and attacked Lucario.
Clang! Clang—
The golden blades clashed with the blue bone stick, emitting a metallic sound and scattering sparks.
After the collision, both Pokemon retreated and stood still.
Lucario nodded slightly, putting away the bone stick and shaking his hand; the power was not weak.
For Flame Blade Ghost, who had just learned the move, it was already quite good.
Flame Blade Ghost, on the other hand, stood in its original position, deep in thought.
It seemed to be reviewing the feeling from earlier, experiencing some shortcomings or mistakes when using the move.
"Take it easy, don't blow up the deck," Jinghe reminded, having already started fishing and caught seven Gyarados.
"Raaah!!!"
Bite Shark grunted angrily at Jinghe.
Are you trying to teach me how to do things?
Jinghe shook his head; he was already used to Bite Shark's attitude.
Beside him, Herona, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, rested her chin on her hand and fished with a smile.
Obviously, even with the sun, the sea, and fishing, she and Jinghe wouldn't change into swimsuits in the early spring season.
"Chief Jinghe, there's a group of Pokemon approaching," the handsome guy in the cockpit discovered something unusual on the radar.
Pokemon?
Wild Pokemon?
Following the direction the handsome guy pointed to, Jinghe gazed into the distance.
"That is..."
"Huh?"
Gramps reacted faster than Jinghe, already leaning on the railing and assuming a monkey-like pose.
It was a group of...jellyfish!
Jellyfish?
"It's Plump Lotad!"
Pokedex used its zoom function, seeing the distant Pokemon shrouded in mist, like rain clouds, approaching their location.
"Plump Lotad, a Floating Pokemon, Water and Ghost-type, blue for males and pink for females, is a Pokemon that loves Life Energy and likes to attack cruise ships!"
"Shapeless Swarm, they're coming for you, Gramps."
"Huh? Σ(дlll)"
I'm not well-read, don't fool me!
Blue and pink intermingled, each Plump Lotad pulsated its body, contracting and expanding, with crimson eyes staring as they floated towards them.
According to some experienced sailors, it's not the fear of encountering Tyrant Carp or Giganto Shark in the sea, but the fear of encountering ghost-like Plump Lotad, as they can silently render people and Pokemon unable to fight.
Indeed, the plump and floating appearance, crimson eyes, and Ghost-type attribute of Plump Lotad do bear a resemblance to Gramps.
No wonder Gramps almost believed it.
Regarding Gramps' "panic," Jinghe smiled slightly, remaining noncommittal, but resting his chin and appearing deep in thought.
Life Energy
Many Ghost-type Pokemon love Life Energy, like Crystal Lampent.
There were also rumors that Crystal Lampent would silently absorb the life energy of Trainers.
He had met many Trainers with Crystal Lampent, but he couldn't see them absorbing any life energy.
Life Energy is a rather mysterious power in the Pokemon world.
"There's action, little guys."
This group of Plump Lotad was not small, but it didn't cause them much trouble.
"Waa~"
"Raaah~"
As expected, Rapid Dragon and Bite Shark had already charged forward.
"Rapid Dragon, Bite Shark, Dragon Dive!"
"
Don't boss me around!
While shouting, the two Pokemon donned dragon cloaks.
