"How about it? Are you confident you can handle it?"
Just as Adrain was lost in thought, Captain reminded him, "If you're not confident, don't act rashly to prevent these Gyarados from attacking the ship. Also, regardless of whether you can handle it or not, the premise is that you can't compromise the safety of the ship."
As a large passenger ship, the Seadra had several escort trainers on board, but none of them were confident they could defeat the Gyarados horde in one fell swoop.
Because this is the ocean, even if the Gyarados horde is defeated, they can dive into the sea and disappear.
But if the Gyarados horde holds a grudge and follows the Seadra to sabotage the ship, then it would be a loss.
The safety of the passenger ship is the bottom line, and also the biggest constraint!
"It should be fine!"
Adrain's heart skipped a beat, feeling confident that he could handle it. "I can send out some Pokémon to try and deal with this group of Gyarados. As for the Rapidash, you just need to wait for the results."
This is the open sea, and once Gyarados enters the battle, it will fully activate its Oceanic Authority, boosting all its stats by 50%.
Coupled with Gyarados's long move list, Adrain felt that defeating a group of wild Gyarados shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, Gyarados can fly, so if things go wrong, they can always retreat.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Captain was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then generously said, "Adrain, if you can drive away the Gyarados group within an hour, I can apply for a reward of 200,000 Pokedollars. If you resolve it within three hours, it's 100,000 Pokedollars."
"Ah? There's a reward too?"
Adrain's face lit up with surprise.
He originally just wanted to fish for Gyarados, and came to the cockpit to understand the details of the Gyarados group before making any plans, but he didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
Two hundred thousand—that's no small sum.
Of course, for a large passenger ship like the Rapidash, it's just a drop in the ocean.
"I'll try my best!"
Adrain smiled, first obtaining Captain's phone number for easy contact during the journey.
Then, accompanied by Captain, he went to the deck and threw two Poké Balls.
"Roar~"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a gigantic Gyarados appeared in the sea.
At the same time, being at sea, the Ocean King's Authority was automatically activated, and Gyarados's aura began to rise steadily, increasing all its stats by 50%.
"This size—this aura—"
When Captain saw Adrain's Gyarados, his eyes lit up.
Even a fool could see that this Gyarados was extraordinary.
As for the other Pokémon, Dratini, it also surprised Captain.
A pseudo-legendary baby Dratini—that's an extremely rare Pokémon.
Adrain's possession of both a gigantic Gyarados and Dratini meant he couldn't be an ordinary trainer.
Thus, his initial skepticism towards Adrain turned into unwavering faith.
This was a master!
As for Pikachu on Adrain's shoulder, it was completely ignored by Captain.
"Captain, I'm off."
After waving goodbye, Adrain climbed onto Gyarados's head.
Then, Adrain slid down Gyarados's neck to its back, and finally leaped onto Dratini.
An ordinary Dratini would only be two or three meters long, and its body was too thin to ride.
But Adrain's Dratini, nourished by the energy from the energy orb and the giant Dragonite scales, grew in length and physique at an astonishing rate.
It shed its skin every day, bringing Adrain surprises; its growth rate was too fast.
In just over half a month, its length had reached nearly four meters, and its body was strong and powerful, making it barely rideable.
"Pika Pika"
Upon learning that they were going to hunt down the wild Gyarados, Pikachu was very excited, its cheeks crackling with electricity.
"I, Pikachu, love frying fish the most!"
But to Pikachu's disappointment, Adrain's plan was to let Gyarados handle it first.
If Gyarados couldn't manage, Pikachu and Dratini would then find a way to help.
After revealing the plan, Pikachu was immediately disappointed.
As for Gyarados, it was full of excitement.
It felt great.
It just wanted to go all out!
"Go, Gyarados!"
Adrain pointed to the place where the wild Gyarados were gathered, and Gyarados immediately roared and swam quickly towards it.
As for Dratini, it kept a safe distance from Gyarados, trailing far behind.
Before long, Gyarados appeared in the sight of the wild Gyarados.
At this time, the Gyarados had formed a circle, and two Gyarados were fighting and using moves inside the circle.
However, in Gyarados's eyes, these wild Gyarados were rather weak. They only used moves like Crunch, Ice Fang, Aqua Tail, and Hyper Beam, and at most, they might have mastered some basic Dragon-type moves like Dragon Breath and Tornado, but their power was quite mediocre, making them hardly worth mentioning.
When they noticed Gyarados approaching, this group of wild Gyarados immediately became wary.
Because Adrain's Gyarados was so incredibly large, it was clear at a glance that it was no pushover.
"Roar~"
The two fighting Gyarados temporarily ceased their battle, and all the wild Gyarados began to roar at Adrain's Gyarados.
Since Adrain's Gyarados was an outsider and hadn't yet joined their group, it was naturally unwelcome.
Seeing that Adrain's Gyarados remained unmoved and continued to approach on its own, the group of wild Gyarados became enraged. Several of them unleashed powerful jets of water from their mouths to attack.
It was the Water Gun move!
"Roar~"
However, the Water Gun's accuracy was poor, and the distance was considerable, so Adrain's Gyarados easily dodged the attack by weaving left and right.
Not only that, but when the dodging and weaving ended, two faint white lights appeared on Adrain's Gyarados, and its aura surged even higher.
Dragon Dance was complete; Gyarados's attack and speed had increased!
Seeing this, the wild Gyarados were enraged. They swarmed around Adrain's Gyarados, determined to teach it a lesson.
Looking at the sheer density of these wild creatures, Adrain's Gyarados sneered.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive bolt of electricity shot out from Gyarados's body, striking the wild Gyarados in the midst of the horde.
Electric-type move: Thunder!
Thunder is normally a single-target move, but because seawater is a good conductor, it became an area-of-effect move.
Instantly, the numerous wild Gyarados howled in agony.
When the current dissipated, seven or eight of the smaller, weaker Gyarados were already unconscious, their eyes spinning.
Of the remaining dozen or so Gyarados, three or five still had arcs of electricity crackling around their bodies, clearly having triggered the additional effect of Thunder and fallen into a paralyzed state.
The other Gyarados weren't in much better shape. While they weren't completely incapacitated, their stamina was severely depleted, their bodies charred black, and their eyes filled with deep fear.
With just one attack, the wild Gyarados pack had lost more than half its fighting strength!
Watching this, the Gyarados blinked a few times.
No wonder the second oldest liked using electric fishing.
This feeling was indeed exhilarating!
This group of Gyarados was far too vulnerable to electricity.
But then it thought, it itself was also a Gyarados —
