Chapter 508: The Unmarked Island on the Map
Chapter 508: The Unmarked Island on the Map
"Yoji~~"
Time to sail again~~
Tyrogue sat on a deck chair, gazing at the scenery on both sides of the route, swinging his tiny feet.
An image flashed through Jing He's mind—
Roaring Dragon, Ah-woo~ Little Windmill, Daxiji, Ababa Ababa
Shaking his head, he banished the catchy tune from his thoughts.
"Lotom, which way should we go from here?" Jing He asked.
"Loto!"
The Lotom Pokedex paused from taking photos and opened the navigation interface.
"Planning the best route, Loto."
Various lines appeared on the navigation screen, each one changing to another, and so it went.
"After traveling ten more kilometers, turn left, Loto!"
Hmm?
Looking at the route lines on the navigation map, Jing He couldn't help but say, "There's no road there; turning left will lead us straight into the sea."
Was the navigation guiding them into the sea?
"Yes, Loto!"
But Lotom seemed quite certain, "Because the received coordinates are in the sea, Loto."
The sea?
Could there be a network in the sea?
Jing He was perplexed.
However, since Lotom seemed so confident, they decided to check it out. If the coordinates were indeed incorrect, they could ask Multivolt Beta about the situation.
And so.
When they reached the location specified by Lotom, Jing He took out the Lotom bicycle from Gramps's mouth, and Lotom flew into the bicycle from the Pokedex.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the tourists, Jing He rode the bicycle and jumped straight off the deck.
"That guy's crazy! He's jumping into the sea!"
"Jumping into the sea with a bicycle?"
"Did something happen to him?"
Just as a few tourists were about to call for help from the sailors or phone Miss Junsha, someone shouted, "Look!"
In the sea, an ice path appeared, and the bicycle they were concerned about was leisurely riding towards the east.
Behind it, a Gramps was floating, and by its side was a slender and graceful Ice Nine Tails, resembling an ice fairy.
"So that's how it's done."
"Wow, that's so cool!"
"Can Ice-type Pokemon do that? I have to catch an Ice-type Pokemon too!"
However.
Ordinary Ice-type Pokemon might not be able to freeze the sea surface fast enough to keep up with the bicycle's speed. After all, the ice needs to be thick enough to support the bicycle and remain stable on the water.
More importantly.
While a temporary freeze might be achievable, it was uncertain if a typical Ice-type Pokemon could endure the long ride on the sea like Jing He.
"How long will the ride be, Lotom?"
"Thirty kilometers, Loto!"
Jing He: ". . ."
Thankfully, it was the Lotom bicycle, which didn't require much effort to ride. Otherwise, a thirty-kilometer ride on the sea wouldn't be easy.
"Turbo Boost, Loto!"
"Understood, Loto!"
Zzzz—
Electricity surged from the turbo, and the bicycle sped up, allowing Jing He to dart forward without even pedaling.
Looking at the golden turbine, a thought popped into Jing He's mind.
The legendary Ideal Dragon, Jiekeluom, also had a turbine, and if it combined with Lotom, wouldn't it be the "Transformers" Lotom wanted Gigaforg to help create?
"L-Loto..."
Lotom shuddered inexplicably, as if sensing an unseen gaze.
With Lotom's acceleration engaged, the bicycle's speed increased, and a distant island appeared on the sea surface.
Hmm?
Jing He was slightly taken aback when he saw the island.
According to the map updated by Lotom's navigation, that location should have been open sea. How could an island suddenly appear there?
Or perhaps the League hadn't discovered it?
Whoosh—
As Jing He and his companions approached the lush, verdant island, the sea suddenly churned, and numerous fierce-looking fish Pokemon appeared before them.
Savage Trout!
At first glance, there were at least thirty or forty of them!
Savage Trout had three distinct forms, each with its unique appearance and stripe colors, categorized as red-striped, blue-striped, and white-striped.
Red-striped and blue-striped Savage Trout had extremely aggressive personalities and were known for their bad temper. They would devour any living creature within their aquatic territory.
In areas inhabited by Savage Trout, only Fanged Fish and Iron Claw Lobster could barely survive.
In comparison, white-striped Savage Trout had relatively gentler temperaments, though they were theoretically extinct or rarely seen.
White-striped Savage Trout could evolve into Shadow Tail Mystical Fish, while blue-striped and red-striped Savage Trout could not.
The group that appeared was a swarm of red-striped Savage Trout. Upon noticing Jing He approaching their territory, they frantically surged forward.
Jing He's expression remained unchanged as he shouted, "Nine Tails!"
"Ah-woo!"
Ice Nine Tails gracefully strode forward, her tail lightly fluttering as she scattered white ice crystals, and she gently blew a breath of cold air at the Savage Trout.
The next moment.
Half of the sea surface instantly froze, trapping even the Savage Trout in the water.
Freeze-Dry!
A move that dealt double damage to Water-type Pokemon.
Crack! Crack-crack-crack—
However, cracks appeared on the frozen sea surface, and the Savage Trout, one after another, gradually broke free from the ice crystal bonds.
This surprised both Jing He and Ice Nine Tails.
Although Ice Nine Tails was a formidable opponent, it was unusual for ordinary wild Pokemon to break free from her ice seal.
It was worth noting.
Ice Nine Tails possessed the move "Eternal Ice Barrier" and had a strength comparable to the Elite Four's main Pokemon. She was undoubtedly an Elite-level Pokemon!
Despite the type advantage and Ice Nine Tails' power, this group of Savage Trout managed to break free?
There were only two reasons for this.
Either these Savage Trouts had high levels and formidable strength, or they had developed a certain resistance to Ice-type moves. Perhaps both.
And there were only two reasons for this situation as well.
The first was that there was something valuable in this sea area that could raise the levels of these Savage Trouts. It was understandable for a few Savage Trouts to have high levels, but for all of them to be at such levels was unusual.
The second reason was that these Savage Trouts were deliberately kept here by someone to prevent others from approaching.
If the second reason was true, then everything that happened earlier could be explained.
However, what stood before Jinghe now was still the task of dealing with these Savage Trouts.
"Lotom!" Jinghe spoke up again, "Discharge!"
Zzz—!!
Golden arcs of electricity pierced the sea, and the surrounding waters instantly sparked with dancing currents.
Electric Shock!
If it were any other sea area, Jinghe wouldn't have done this, as it wasn't very civilized. But in the territory of the Savage Trouts, there was no need for such concerns. Although Lotom didn't like battling much, to be honest, under Jinghe's nurturing without any bias, with top-grade Energy Cubes and Raikou's special Thunder Stone, Lotom's strength had long surpassed its own expectations.
"Ninetales, use Freeze-Dry again."
As the golden arcs dissipated, the Savage Trouts in the sea were shocked by electricity, and the ice layer of Ice Ninetales once again covered the sea surface.
This time..."
The Savage Trouts couldn't break free anymore.
After such a "baptism," if they could still jump up, Jinghe would have considered capturing them and taking them home to slice and study, no, cough, to slice and research.
"Hengga~!"
Gengui, who hadn't taken action this time, floated back from a distance and shouted to Jinghe.
There was another group of Savage Trouts approaching from over there! They were a group of Savage Trouts with blue stripes.
So many Savage Trouts?
The possibility that they were being raised here by someone was higher and higher.
After a brief pause, Jinghe waved his hand.
"Land on the island!"
Inland on the island, hidden within the lush vegetation, there was a secret research facility.
Only a small part of the research facility was exposed on the island's surface; the main research areas were all underground.
And at the deepest part of the research facility at this moment.
In a well-sealed research room, a bespectacled researcher with a slender figure, wearing a white lab coat, was concentrating on operating a small tablet in his hand, displaying rather complex structures and textual information.
This person was none other than the chief scientist of Team Plasma, known as the "Dark Scientist," Akroma!
"It's really interesting that a Pokemon can pass through my firewall and enter the research facility directly through the network!"
Akroma crossed his legs, examining the remaining information in the network, his eyes burning with curiosity.
What kind of Pokemon could move freely through the network?
Even he could only see a few traces of it.
This Pokemon was worth studying!
It was so worth studying!
At this moment.
A Team Plasma member opened the door to the research room and rushed in, shouting respectfully:
"Sir Akroma, there's an intruder!"
"Hmm?" This time, Akroma shifted his gaze from the tablet, but instead of getting angry, he showed a look of interest. "An intruder?"
The network information had just been exposed not long ago, and an intruder appeared so quickly. Akroma didn't believe there was no connection between the two.
"Yes!"
The Team Plasma member replied seriously:
"Just a few minutes ago, the Savage Trout outside the island suddenly became active, but the monitoring device in the sea was destroyed by electricity, suspecting that the opponent may have come prepared!"
They should have been able to see the intruder, but the destruction of the monitoring device made them suspect that they might have been exposed.
"Hmm"
Akroma propped his chin with his hand, crossed his legs, and suddenly, as if a light bulb lit up in his mind, he raised a finger and smiled:
"In that case, let them help me test my latest experimental results!"
The Team Plasma member's body trembled slightly.
"Do you want to do that?"
"Hmm?"
Akroma let out a soft sound through his nose, turned his head, and smiled at the member, "What did you say?"
"Yes, sir!" The Team Plasma member immediately stood at attention and shouted, "I'll take care of it right away!"
"Go."
Akroma waved his hand.
He was a very easygoing person, so why were these Team Plasma members so afraid of him?
Perhaps they were just afraid of the unknown.
Akroma believed he was easy to get along with and very approachable.
"Oh, by the way," Akroma suddenly added, "Just capture them, I want to meet this person."
The intruder might have a connection with the Pokemon that had entered the research facility through the network and his firewall.
Perhaps he could obtain information about that Pokemon from the intruder.
"Yes, sir!"
This time, the Team Plasma member didn't dare to ask further questions and understood Akroma's intentions.
Capture them alive!
After the member left, Akroma didn't put down the tablet but continued his research.
"I can't completely rely on others. If possible, following the clues in the network, I might have a chance to find that Pokemon."
With this thought, he became excited and continued his research.
But he didn't know that the Pokemon he was looking for was not one he could afford to provoke at the moment.
