I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 88 Keep it up!

Riding the Magneton to the sea above the storm's center, Chen Mu soon spotted several giant "tornadoes" that stretched from the sea to the sky like pillars of heaven!

The storms affecting large areas of the surrounding sea were clearly caused by these "sky pillars".

Two exceptionally large Dragonite can be seen within the circle of the tornado.

These two Dragonite were significantly larger than the three Dragonite that the cruise ship had encountered fishing in the whirlpool not long ago.

Trainers typically control the size of their Pokémon to adapt to life in the human world, keeping them within a normal range. However, in the wild, where food is plentiful, Pokémon often experience a significant increase in size once they reach the rank of leader or higher.

Therefore, you can tell from their size that these two Dragonite are not to be trifled with.

Even so, they were still trapped in the airspace above this sea area.

The aerial action team is currently communicating using embedded headsets.

"We have reached the airspace above the combat zone. We can see the Dragon in the 6 o'clock position. No targets in the sea have been detected."

But Chen Mu immediately provided the information.

"I can sense that there are two Kingdra at each of the 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 5 o'clock positions, and four at the 9 o'clock position. They are alternating between surfacing and diving."

Now that things have come to this, Chen Mu has stopped pretending.

I'm coming clean: I do have superpowers.

The others who were acting together did not ask any further questions.

Clearly, Bisques had given them some hints before they set off.

Now everyone unconditionally trusts Chen Mu's judgment.

"Professor Chen, in which direction should we make a breakthrough next?"

As the team leader, Duanmu Zhiyu simply asked Chen Mu for his opinion.

Chen Mu focused his senses for a moment, then decided, "Let's break through from the 5 o'clock position. The Thorn Dragon King there seems to be the leader. Let's wait until it rises again before making our move."

Kingdra's ambush of Dragonite was executed very cleverly: they made a great use of the ocean as a natural barrier!

Each time it rises to unleash a skill to attack, it quickly dives back down to avoid Dragonite's counterattack, repeating this cycle continuously, constantly pulling and tugging at the enemy.

Meanwhile, a large part of the surrounding "tornadoes" were also their doing, designed to trap the two Dragonite and prevent them from escaping easily.

Environmental factors, the ocean barrier, and the advantage in numbers allowed Kingdra to overcome the gap in individual combat strength, keeping these two obviously powerful large Dragonite locked up in this airspace.

One of the Dragonite looked like it was about to give up and tried to use its signature move "Super Speed" to escape.

But soon a King Thorn Dragon emerged from beneath the sea!

Emerging from the water, the King Thorn Dragon resembled a ruthless sniper, unleashing a dazzling, slender purple beam from its gun-barrel-like mouth!

This beam of light, like a laser weapon from a Gundam movie, instantly traversed hundreds of meters, leaving a stunning trail of light in the air. It accurately struck the Dragonite that was trying to escape, injuring its wing and forcing it to abandon its "Divine Speed" ability.

Sniper-like characteristics! Multiple energy boosts! Dragon's Breath skill!

Seeing its companion injured, the other Dragonite let out an extremely angry roar, its entire body ignited with indigo energy flames, and it launched a high-speed dive like a bomber, violently crashing into the sea.

Skill: Dragon Dive!

However, the Sea Dragon King, with its teamwork, quickly responded.

The Kingdra that had just fired "Dragon's Breath" quickly dived down to the seabed.

Meanwhile, Kingdra, which possesses the Swift Swim ability, uses its speed advantage to catch up and unleashes a powerful energy blast at close range to engage Dragonite in a battle.

Skill: Dragon Pulse!

The battle between the two sides was exceptionally fierce, with little use of transformation skills for tactical planning. Whenever they made contact, it was always a clash of powerful attack skills!

This is indeed a fighting style that is more in line with the hunting and fighting habits of wild Pokémon.

The combat style is very different from the layered and calculated tactics used when fighting human trainers.

It's a pity the timing isn't right now, otherwise Chen Mu really wanted to stop and appreciate the raw, untamed beauty of nature.

"Attention, the Thorn Dragon King and his wife are surfacing at the five o'clock position!"

Upon receiving Chen Mu's prompting, the escort trainers reacted swiftly.

"Final check of items and Poké Balls, preparations complete, 3---2---1---Go!"

At a command, the fastest of them all, the Great Electric Seagull, took the lead, instantly cutting through the rain and rushing into the battle!

The trainers, sitting on the backs of the two giant electric sea lions, immediately activated their Poké Balls and gave the commands in unison.

"Drum Mouse, use the Fog Terrain!"

The Fairy-type move Misty Terrain is quite unique. This terrain does not boost Fairy-type moves, but it weakens Dragon-type moves.

Both Kingdra and Dragonite are Dragon-type Pokémon, and Dragon is a type that is weak against Dragon-type Pokémon. Dragon-type moves are naturally strong against Dragon-type Pokémon.

Therefore, when Kingdra and Dragonite fight, they will both use Dragon-type moves as their main offensive method.

At this moment, the "Mist Field" unfolds, instantly cutting off the attack routes of both sides.

Because the "mist field" is used at high altitude, the field, which should have spread out parallel to the ground, is instead spread out in three-dimensional space, and the expanded area forms two connected spherical regions in the air.

The trainer then used a Poké Ball to recall Dedom, which had landed freely after using its move, and then commanded its giant Electabuzz to chew the seed in its mouth.

Item: Mist Seed!

The effect is to raise the Special Defense of Pokémon in a misty terrain!

The next moment, as expected, another long and dazzling dragon breath shot out from the water, but the Great Electric Swallow, who had ingested the Mist Seed, directly withstood it with its bare body, forcibly preventing the spread of the battle.

Then the trainer put a yellow fruit into the beak of the electric petrel.

Prop: Pomelo!

The effect is to instantly heal injured Pokémon!

At this moment, humanity's tactics, wisdom, and the resources they possess, along with their financial strength, simultaneously demonstrated their power, forcibly pressing the pause button on this battlefield.

At the same time, Magneton rapidly arrived above the designated sea area.

Akira Shinkawa opened the Poké Ball and released Golduck.

"Good luck, Professor Chen!"

After offering his final blessings, Akira Shinkawa immediately ordered Magneto to rise to a higher altitude.

Meanwhile, Golduck, unrelated to weather characteristics, picked up Chen Mu, leaped off Magneton, and plunged into the dark sea below!

The moment Golda picked him up, Chen Mu felt the sea breeze around him soften, the sound of the rain hitting his mask lessen, and even his body temperature seemed to warm up.

Regardless of weather characteristics, it can minimize the impact of surrounding weather.

As an Electric-type gym, Vermilion City's main Pokémon are mostly Electric-type, and even the one that just used "Mist Terrain" is Dedric, which rarely appears in battles.

However, to ensure Chen Mu's safety, Biscuit still tried her best to find a Golduck before setting off.

Even if it's just to live up to everyone's expectations, Chen Mu felt he had to work even harder!
