It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

With both crew members, Lucario and Milos, speaking out, the ship set sail again, guided by Captain Qin Ming's will.

"Tengteng~!!!"

The vine snake also waved its little hands to help from the side.

……

As Qin Ming ventured deeper into the northern part of the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm, the communication signal grew weaker and weaker. He had not received a signal for three consecutive days, and it seemed that it would be almost impossible for him to receive any signal in the future.

If danger occurs in such an environment, there will be no way to call for help.

Three days ago, Qin Ming steered his ocean-going vessel to a sea area that was only recorded on the nautical chart.

It can be said that Qin Ming had already left the scope of human jurisdiction at this point.

However, Qin Ming had already made plans for these situations before entering.

The 10-day voyage was peaceful and calm, seemingly under Lugia's protection. During this exploration of the Whirlpool Island secret realm, Qin Ming had not encountered a single rain or gale.

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Crew member Lucario spotted the commotion in the distance while patrolling the deck and immediately reported it to Captain Qin Ming.

"Okay, dog did a great job, the warning was very timely!"

Captain Qin Ming praised it, then took out his binoculars to observe.

At this moment, a group of starfish-like creatures with a red core on their chests appeared in the distance, swimming rapidly. These were the water-type creatures, Staryu.

[Note: A strange spirit capable of easily regenerating lost limbs.]

……

A group of more than ten starfish spun rapidly on the surface of the sea. To be precise, the starfish were actually fleeing, because a group of dark blue fish spirits were chasing after them.

These fish spirits are neon fish.

[Elf: Neon Fish]

[Gender: Male]

[Attribute: Water]

【Ability: Water Drain (Drains Water-type moves onto the user, preventing damage and raising Special Attack.)】

[Level: 42 (Beginner Level of the Gym)]

[Potential: Gym level]

[Items to carry: none]

[Inherited skills: None]

[Status: General]

[Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Defense (19), Special Attack (15), Special Defense (17), Speed ​​(20)]

[Note: Neon fish that glow on the deep seabed look like twinkling stars in the night sky.]

……

During the chase, the neon fish were clearly the stronger party. The neon fish leader led his men in using a whirlpool attack, which immediately created a strong backflow that bound the starfish that was trying to escape.

Knowing it couldn't escape, the starfish trapped by the whirlpool instinctively used a water gun to try and repel the neonfish. Unfortunately, the neonfish's water-drawing ability not only didn't harm it at all, but also indirectly boosted its special attack.

Almost instantly, the neon fish surrounded the starfish, and then the beautiful neon fish immediately began to bite at the starfish.

That's right, the neon fish is eating starfish.

The natural enemy of starfish is the neon fish, which also love to eat starfish.

It's no wonder that these starfish attract the attention of other Pokémon, especially their natural predators, due to their luminous properties.

Starfish have virtually no chance against neon fish.

As a first-stage Staryu, their combined base stats are only 340. Although Neonfish is not a Pokémon with explosive combat power, its total base stats are a whopping 460, which is 120 points higher than Staryu's.

Given the difference in levels, it's perfectly normal that Starfish is no match for it.

Of course, if Staryu evolves into Starmie, that's a different story. Starmie, with a base stat total of 520, may not be considered a top-tier Pokémon, but among hundreds of Pokémon, 520 is still in the middle range, and it won't be bullied so badly by Nerubian.

In the world of Pokémon, Misty, the main character, has a Starmie among her main Pokémon, whose impressive combat power leaves a deep impression.

The problem is that Staryu needs a Water Stone to evolve into Starmie.

The Water Stone is a rare evolution stone, which means that most Staryus in the wild have a very low probability of evolving into Starmie.

I kept eating it non-stop!!

The ferocious neon fish kept nibbling at the starfish.

Yes, neon fish can be described as ferocious.

Neon fish, judging from their appearance, are definitely not fierce fish spirits; on the contrary, they look quite docile.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Neon fish are deep-sea creatures that use their large pectoral fins to create light to attract prey, hence their name.

The creatures that live in the deep sea all share one characteristic: they are ferocious.

Because resources are relatively scarce in the deep sea, only fierce creatures can adapt to the environment there.

Despite their ferocity, neon fish clearly understand sustainable regeneration.

It gnawed away all five points of the starfish, leaving only the red core in the middle, and then wiggled its tail and dived back into the sea.

One characteristic of starfish is their strong regenerative ability.

As long as the red core in the middle is not destroyed, they can quickly regenerate their limbs, which is also their secret to survival in the vast ocean.

With the neon fish gone, the sea returned to calm.

Qin Ming put down his telescope, but a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

Neon fish eating starfish is a fairly normal scene in the ocean, just like the wakizashi we collected earlier being preyed upon by various Pokémon.

"Neon fish usually live in the deep sea, so why would they suddenly emerge from the deep sea to the surface...?"

"Even though the reason given was eating starfish, it's still very strange that deep-sea creatures are coming to the surface..."

It's important to know that the pressure at the deep sea is different from that at the shallow sea.

Elves accustomed to the pressure of the deep sea would find it very uncomfortable to suddenly arrive in shallow waters.

Therefore, it is extremely rare to see deep-sea creatures in shallow waters.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it..."

Qin Ming slowly withdrew his gaze and steered the ocean-going vessel northward.

We continued sailing on calm seas for three hours. The storm warning device showed everything was normal and there was no extremely bad weather, but the waves gradually grew larger.

Qin Ming, who was in the cabin, controlled the helm and called out, "Doggy, Xiaobai, pack your things and go back to the cabin!"

"Luca~!!!"

"Mina~!!!"

Lucario and Milotic gathered their belongings from the deck into the cabin and joined Qin Ming.

Wow! !

Wow! !

The ocean-going vessel rocked up and down with the waves, and Qin Ming, inside the cabin, could clearly feel something churning in his stomach.

"Teng Teng~!!!"

Noticing that Qin Ming was in pain, Tengteng Snake gently stroked Qin Ming's chest with her small hands to help him feel better.

"Luca~!!!"
