Chapter 487: An Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 487: An Unexpected Discovery
Whoosh—
The Aquadeus Temple was not small, occupying a considerable space, so when the barrier was lifted, the surging seawater posed a certain danger even to Jinghe and the others.
Not to mention the Star Governor and Suixing.
Of course, Hunter J temporarily had Dark Lochia, which made things a bit easier, but that didn't mean she was out of danger.
And so...
Almost instinctively, everyone chose to back off and deal with the incoming flood of seawater first!
"Let's go!"
Jadira shouted.
She could clearly sense the terror of the seawater surge.
Buzz—
Jadira and her two Psychic-type Pokemon raised the barrier again, enveloping Jinghe and Herona within it.
The water current gradually became turbulent, even forming a massive whirlpool. A slight misstep could lead to being swept away, and without oxygen, it meant losing one's life.
"Lugia!"
Hunter J grasped the Dark Ball and leaped from Tyrantrum onto Dark Lochia's back.
"Gyaaah!"
However, Dark Lochia was clearly less obedient than Tyrantrum, and upon sensing the presence on its back, it flapped its wings and roared.
"Hmph!"
Star Governor and Suixing narrowed their eyes, and Star Governor even let out a disdainful snort. In his hand, a dark red stone seemed to appear, seemingly connected to the dark red chains wrapped around Dark Lochia.
Zzzz—
The sudden surge of red, arc-shaped electricity caused Dark Lochia to emit a painful wail.
Then, Star Governor and Suixing each grabbed Lugia's claws and flew towards the sea's surface.
The surging flood of seawater seemed somewhat insignificant before Dark Lochia.
"You guys go first!"
Jinghe suddenly spoke as he watched Lugia dive into the seawater, along with Hunter J and the others.
"What about you?"
Herona seemed to have an idea of what he was about to do.
"The Aquadeus Temple shouldn't be destroyed like this," Jinghe said solemnly. "Although those Pokemon hunters are despicable, they shouldn't just be left to drown in the seawater. It's too easy for them!"
Hunter J, Star Governor, and Suixing left decisively, but their subordinates and Gastly's henchmen were still lying unconscious on the ground.
These people should all be sent to the mines to repay their debts!
Drowning?
That's too easy for them!
Of course, this wasn't the most important thing.
The crucial point was that the flooding seawater would deprive some wild Pokemon within the Aquadeus Temple of their chance to survive.
Indeed, Pokemon lived inside the Aquadeus Temple, which was a surprise to Jinghe.
And among them were not just Water-type Pokemon.
If they hadn't discovered this, it wouldn't have mattered. If they didn't know how to restore the temple, it could have been overlooked.
But as it happened, Jinghe knew everything.
This made it his responsibility!
Without waiting for Herona to speak, Jinghe immediately assured her, "Don't worry, I'm confident. I won't joke about my own life."
After saying this, he recalled his other Pokemon and flew out of Jadira's Psychic barrier with Gramps and Rapid Dragon.
"Hngga~~"
Gramps grinned, spreading his arms wide. He created a barrier similar to Jadira's, but smaller and with a darker, more subdued color.
Gramps had apparently learned this skill from Jadira.
Moreover, although Gramps was a Ghost-type Pokemon, its Psychic abilities were not weak.
"Wuu~~"
Rapid Dragon carried Jinghe and Gramps, swiftly swimming towards the interior of the Aquadeus Temple.
Herona clenched her teeth and threw a Poke Ball.
"Mew, go help them."
"Mew."
Mew nodded, familiar with Jinghe, as it had provided psychological counseling to Jinghe during its evolution.
Transforming into a graceful arc, it nimbly dove into the water, leading the way for Rapid Dragon.
After they left, Jadira and Herona rose to the sea's surface.
"Once we reach the sea, the situation will be different," Jinghe thought as he navigated through the Aquadeus Temple.
After all, he wasn't foolish enough to face both Hunter J and the Gastly Pirates alone, knowing he had to deal with them simultaneously.
When there was someone to 'command,' it was only natural to give orders.
Especially when that someone was the person who had 'tricked' him before.
On the sea's surface, there was a 'surprise' for Hunter J.
Rumble~
As Rapid Dragon swam deeper, the interior of the Aquadeus Temple came into full view. Gramps even perched on the barrier he had created, gazing at the various gems within the temple with covetous eyes.
"Mew~~"
Mew gracefully led the way, making it easier for Rapid Dragon.
Although Rapid Dragon, as a Dratini and Hakuryu, had loved water like Water-type Pokemon, after evolving into Rapid Dragon, it became a flying creature, less agile in the water.
Fortunately, the Aquadeus Temple had almost no obstacles, aside from the constantly surging seawater.
However, due to the temple's architecture and its unique drainage system, the flooding seawater was more turbulent outside the temple, while inside, it merely continued to rise.
"Found it!"
Jinghe, with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and the wave-guiding ability, akin to a "scan," proved to be overwhelmingly advantageous in this complex environment.
"Rumble~"
Gramps instantly understood his intention, put on his swimming goggles, and dived into the dimensional space.
When he reappeared, a ghost with a large backpack, huffing and puffing as he hurried towards the exit of the Aquadeus Temple, suddenly shuddered.
"What the heck?!"
The Noisybird parrot on his shoulder mimicked his words.
The pirate ghost then realized that a chilling cold had seeped into his other shoulder.
He turned to look.
To his surprise, a Gramps had appeared beside him, grinning maliciously.
"Rumble~"
"Ghosts!"
Before the ghost could react, the Noisybird parrot rolled its eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fainted from fright.
"Hmph!" The ghost snorted angrily. His nickname was "Ghost," so how could he be afraid of ghosts?
"You want to steal my 'Sea Crown' too? Keep dreaming!"
Click-click-click—
Mechanical gears turned, and steam hissed from the ghost's body.
At the same time, a coral-like Pokemon, entirely snow-white, emerged from behind the ghost. A powerful ghostly aura burst forth, disheveling Gramps somewhat.
"Rumble?"
Gramps looked at the all-white coral with confusion in his eyes.
What is this? An evolved form of Sun Coral?
Even Gramps was perplexed by the snow-white coral, emanating a strong ghostly aura.
He had never seen it before.
But just because Gramps was unfamiliar with it didn't mean Jinghe didn't recognize it.
When the wave-guiding ability sensed the appearance of this coral, Jinghe was also surprised.
Phantom Coral?
This was the evolved form of Sun Coral in the Galer Region, a coral Pokemon with a Ghost type.
According to legend, the Sun Coral in the Galer Region underwent a rapid transformation due to environmental changes caused by a falling meteorite. Although they didn't die, they survived in a nearly all-white ghostly form.
Phantom Coral is the evolved form of these ghostly Sun Corals, said to seek life energy by breaking free from their original coral bodies. They are creatures from horror stories in the Galer Region.
Jinghe conveyed all the information he knew to Gramps through wave-guiding.
Gramps finally understood.
No wonder he had felt that attacking the bearded ghost would be dangerous, so he chose to scare him first to see his hand.
It turned out to be a Phantom Coral.
And this Phantom Coral's ability was likely "Doomsday Body."
[Doomsday Body: When a Pokemon with this ability is hit by a contact move, both it and its attacker will be affected by 'Doomsday Song' status.]
If Gramps had attacked suddenly, they might have both been affected by the "Doomsday Song" status due to the "Doomsday Body" ability.
Now that they knew the bearded ghost's trump card was a Phantom Coral, things would be easier.
They just needed to avoid contact moves and use long-range attacks, which were their specialty!
"Rumble~"
Gramps formed a black sphere.
But at that moment, the Phantom Coral's crimson eyes glowed eerily, and a mysterious barrier appeared before it.
Mirror Coat!
Waiting for your attack.
Jinghe and Gramps had seen this move before, but Gramps didn't hesitate.
Attack! Mirror Coat, similar to a Special Attack "Mirror Move."
But the prerequisite for Mirror Coat was to withstand the opponent's attack.
So, for Gramps, defeating the Phantom Coral was the priority.
An enormous Shadow Ball was formed, and both the Phantom Coral and the bearded ghost stared in shock at Gramps and his sphere.
"Rumble~" Gramps waved his hand dismissively.
Zap!
A finger snap, and—
Boom!!
The terrifying Shadow Ball slammed into the Phantom Coral.
In Gramps' words, it was like asking for a beating.
He had never heard such an absurd request in his life.
Meanwhile, Mew and Rapid Dragon arrived one after the other.
The ghost, burdened by his large backpack and the unexpected loss of the Phantom Coral's combat abilities, couldn't stir up much trouble for Jinghe. His strength was significantly inferior to Jinghe's.
However, Gramps' attention was entirely focused on the ghost's beard.
"Rumble?"
"What's up?"
Jinghe followed his gaze, puzzled.
Beard?
Jinghe's expression turned strange. "Don't even think about it."
Huh? Before he could finish, surprise flashed in his eyes.
In the thick beard, it seemed like...
A sudden thought crossed his mind.
The black mane of a Spirit Phantom Mare?
