Chapter 93: Chapter 93
After finishing up speaking with Misty, I stowed my phone away, clipped my new Dragonite's pokeball to my belt and sent out Milotic.
Despite the roiling waves all around us, she easily rose up out of the water and steadily waited for me to climb off of Fearow's back onto her own and return the large bird.
Going straight through the storming tornado itself, was a no go. Oh, no doubt Fearow, or Pidgeot actually would love to challenge it head on and break through, and I wouldn't put it past either of them them.
But the safer and smarter option, was just going straight under the tornado and avoiding it altogether.
"Ready girl?" I asked her as I reached into one of the side pockets on my backpack and pulled out a re-breather. It was a small spherical breathing apparatus the likes that came from a scuba-tank. But, instead of being connected to an air tank, it had two tubes coming out of each side, each around seven or so inches long and about two of my fingers thick.
This little baby, cost me five thousand pokedollars. Pricy as all hell to be honest. But, there's a reason why. One would think that with how small it is, it couldn't contain much oxygen.
They'd be wrong. For one thing, this, like my backpack, has some of the same storage technology from pokeballs implemented in it, it can hold a lot more than its size implies. And on top of that, it had a feature where it could draw in air.
I'd bought this back in Hollywood, not long after dealing with that clown Goh, they were being sold at the beach-river place where I caught my Krabby.
It even had a little waterproof screen on the inside just beside one of the bars, that told me how much oxygen it contained.
A real marvel of technology, and hell'a convenient.
Currently, I had over ten hours of oxygen saved up. Well enough to get what I needed done, and it had barely taken any effort at all. And all that effort amounting to taking it out of my bag, and leaving it sitting for a while after pressing a button.
Milotic trilled happily and nodded eagerly. Grinning, I inched myself forward and wrapped my arms around her long, graceful serpentine neck, feeling her soft smooth scales under my fingertips.
Milotic glanced at me from behind, making sure I had a good grip, before easing down into the roiling waves around us, and under the water we went!
The salt water stung my eyes as we dipped down, and all sound resounding in my ears became muted.
It didn't take me long to adjust to the salty water though, and my vision cleared up within ten seconds at most.
But by then, Milotic had already dived down over a hundred feet.
I almost expected there to be all types of water pokemon as far as my eyes could see. That was how it was in the anime and all, the ocean was absolutely teeming with pokemon.
But even this far down, the water was still very turbulent, and it was only the sheer size and strength possessed by Milotic that allowed her to push through the raging currents.
Like, it wasn't just water pressure pushing us backwards, I could feel the water twisting and churning, almost constricting in a way like a serpent. It really was a testament to the power pokemon held, that a small group of Dragonair could cause such chaotic weather that effected even this deep into the ocean.
It was only huge, powerful water types like Milotic, or that huge Gyarados coming our way from the right that could handle the intensity down here-
Wait.
My eyes widened.
I gave a quick frantic pat on Milotic's neck, making her halt in her tracks. She looked back at me, only for her eyes to widen like my own as she caught sight of the Gyarados racing towards us.
Just like the one I saw before, back in Viridian City, it was a sight to behold. A massive intimidating head larger than I was tall, thick armour plate like scales, powerfully constricting muscles that allowed it to bully its way through the raging ocean.
Even with how strong I'd grown since coming here, I feel like I'd break my hand punching it as hard as I could.
Milotic cocked her head back, before throwing it forward, her mouth opening and spewing out a torrent of yellow-green flames that zipped through the water, tearing through the current and blasting right into the Gyarados before it could reach us.
The force of the blast stopped it in its tracks and the huge beastly pokemon roared. The force from the roar was so powerful it made the roiling water around it tremble and I could even hear it despite how muted everything was down here.
Stopped in its tracks by Milotic's Dragon Breath attack, it left the huge water and flying type a ripe target and Milotic's eyes began to glow a bright scarlet red.
Moments later, rings of red energy were emitted from her gaze, once, twice, three times in a pair, over and over until there were dozens, each quickly growing in size until they were as big as I was and they swept over the stunned Gyarados.
It shook its massive head, glaring angrily at us, a familiar sphere of black energy swirling into existence within its massive maw-
But, before it could fire the Hyper Beam it was charging up, its eyes began to droop, and not long later, just in time even, they closed fully and the Gyarados fell asleep, Milotic's Hypnosis attack coming in clutch.
Milotic stared at the sleeping leviathan of size with her, before turning her nose up and sniffing in disdain.
I laughed internally at her reaction, she was completely un-impressed with it. But then, Milotic seemed to not be very impressed with much outside of our group.
She turned her head around and made to continue on, but I pat her again, making her pause. She looked back at me, and then I saw her pout in the corner of my eye when she saw I was looking at the Gyarados.
I don't really hold its loss here to Milotic over it. For one, official battle wise, it hasn't been defeated and looked ready and raring to go even after Milotic's Dragon Breath, for two, it's a freaking Gyarados.
I have plans of course for two other specific Gyarados. A shiny one and a gigantic one. I know the general area where to find both a shiny Magikarp and a gigantic one.
But, there's no guarantee I'll find them.
And I do in fact want a Gyarados, I love these things. I caught one wild during a rainy day in Pokemon Go and it carried me hard, it wasn't even any special Gyarados at all, it was average sized, average weight and below average IV's.
That didn't stop me from always levelling it up though over others I caught. Sub-optimal for sure, but there was something to be said for loyalty and attachment.
Fuck it, I'm catching it. It being normal will actually make it stand out with the other two when I get them anyway.
Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a pokeball and enlarged it, then directed Milotic over to the floating, snoozing leviathan.
I touched the pokeball to its form, and like Dragonite not long ago, it was sucked inside the pokeball and easily captured without any resistance in just a few moments.
Only then, did I direct Milotic back on course.
'Let's see.' I pulled my phone out, thank fuck for it being waterproof and looked over the latest entry.
'Gyarados: The evolved form of Magikarp. Rarely seen in the wild. Huge and vicious, it is capable of destroying entire cities in a rage. Can fire a Hyper Beam from its mouth that leaves nothing behind. Gender: Male, Height: 21'07, Ability: Moxie - Attacks Known: Splash, Tackle, Bite, Dragon Rage, Aqua Tail, Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam.'
If I could, I would have whistled, my eyebrows raising up to my hairline. I knew already it had Hyper Beam, and figured it would know Hydro Pump, those kind of went hand in hand with Gyarados as a whole really, I wasn't expecting Dragon Rage or Aqua Tail though, and I seriously was not expecting it to have Moxie.
Moxie had to be one of the fuck off best abilities of all, that was for sure, I legit loved running Mightyena with it, made it actually viable and Krookodile of course.
Though, I'll definitely need to look into Moxie, I really don't know how that'll transfer over in a real setting like this. Perhaps some form of adrenaline boost?
