****This chapter contains mentions about pokemon being eaten.****
"This Barraskewda is quite powerful. I estimate it's at Rare level and is also a totem pokemon—otherwise it definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand a single blow from my Samurott."
After getting back on the boat, Odin wiped the water off his body and said with a smile, "A Barraskewda this size can be sold for a good price in the market."
"Pokémon like Barraskewda evolve smoothly and reach their final form early. They only need Elite-level strength to evolve, and their combat ability is also quite decent. They're popular starter Pokémon for many new trainers in coastal areas."
"Of course, their weaknesses are also obvious. Their Defense and HP are very poor, and their growth potential is limited."
"That said," Odin finished with a smile on his face, "the meat of Barraskewda is extremely delicious, and the meat of a Totem-level Barraskewda is even more exquisite."
"Whether it's sashimi, grilled fish fillet, or even steamed, it tastes wonderful. Would you like to try it tonight?" Odin said with a smile. Judging from the expression on his face, he had obviously eaten Barraskewda many times before.
"I'll pass." Jacob waved his hand. Although he didn't judge others for eating Pokémon, he personally didn't like eating them. "I don't really enjoy eating Pokémon. I can't get past it mentally."
Jacob had only heard of famous dishes like Slowpoke Tail, roasted Cloyster, and Farfetch'd with leeks, but had never eaten them—just like he had never eaten dog meat in his previous life.
"I understand, I understand. Actually, I refused at first too, but after you try it, you'll find it really is delicious," Odin smiled and didn't press the issue. "Let's continue fishing for Pokémon."
"Take the ship further out to sea!" Odin shouted loudly.
The deeper you ventured into the ocean, the rarer the Pokémon you encountered became, and of course, the greater the risks you had to take.
...
"This should be far enough. If we go any farther, it might become dangerous."
"You can already encounter many powerful Pokémon around here, such as migrating flocks of Cramorant and Wingull, returning Lapras, and so on."
"You might also encounter Pokémon like Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise in the ocean that migrate with the ocean currents."
"Of course, if you're lucky, you might even run into a school of Horsea. Since my brother and sister-in-law specialize in Dragon-types, maybe we can catch something worthwhile."
...
Odin, the second son of the He family, acted as a temporary guide for Jacob and Nina. After a few hours of spending time together, Odin had also learned about Nina's identity and their relationship as a couple.
Odin was quite shocked when he heard Nina's true identity, but he didn't pry. Instead, he asked the crew members on the boat to keep it confidential and not disclose their relationship to anyone.
...
Nina continued fishing at this point. Her luck had been excellent today, and she had caught several rare Pokémon.
Jacob put away his fishing rod and set his sights on the Wingull and Cramorant flying in the sky.
Wingull was a Flying and Water-type Pokémon, while Cramorant was a Flying and Electric-type Pokémon.
Jacob currently didn't have Water-type or Electric-type Pokémon, so these two species were also potential targets for him.
Especially since the final evolved forms of Wingull and Cramorant were quite powerful, Jacob naturally paid close attention to see if there were any Pokémon with King-level potential or above.
"Jacob, are you planning to catch a Wingull or a Cramorant?" Nina, who was beside him, had already noticed that Jacob's eyes kept drifting toward the sky, so she asked.
"Yeah. My luck hasn't been good today anyway. The Pokémon I've caught are just Magikarp and Tentacool. I might as well look at the Flying-type Pokémon in the sky," Jacob said self-deprecatingly. "Maybe I can catch something decent."
Jacob realized that his luck truly wasn't very good today, or rather, his luck hadn't been very good recently.
"If you capture any more Flying-type Pokémon, you'll really become a Flying-type trainer," Nina also smiled and teased Jacob. "Charizard, Noivern, and Dragonite. You already have three Flying-type Pokémon."
"Dragon-types and Flying-types go hand in hand," Jacob also said with a smile. "Besides, Cramorant and Pelipper make quite a powerful combination. Would you like to catch one?"
A Pelipper with the Drizzle Ability and a Cramorant with the Wind Power Ability formed the classic rain-and-thunder combination that was quite formidable.
"I don't want to." Nina shook her head. "I want to focus on being a Dragon-type trainer. I already have three non-Dragon-type Pokémon, including Gyarados, Charizard, and Sylveon. I'm not someone who can't make up their mind."
...
While the two were talking, suddenly, a loud noise rang out.
Jacob turned his head and saw that Nina's fishing rod bent at an incredible angle in an instant, snapped immediately, and was dragged directly into the deep sea.
"Here comes something big! I'll go down first—don't let it get away." Odin, who was standing nearby, was energized when he saw this scene. After waiting so long, something substantial had finally appeared. "What about you? Do you want to go take a look? I'll lend you a Blastoise—it's at the Quasi-King level, so it should have no problem protecting you."
Although they didn't know what Pokémon Nina had hooked, just looking at its strength, it was definitely something impressive.
"Alright, I'll go down with you." Seeing that something big had appeared, Jacob didn't refuse and directly took Blastoise's Poké Ball from Odin.
He quickly put on his diving equipment, released Blastoise, and followed Odin into the ocean.
...
The dark and deep sea was like a beast selecting its prey.
As soon as Jacob plunged into the ocean, he felt the seawater rushing around him, and a suffocating feeling of tension, anxiety, and breathlessness surged into his heart. At that moment, Blastoise used its Dive move.
The Dive move in this world was somewhat similar to how it worked in the games. In a non-combat state, it could take a trainer to the ocean floor and form a bubble to provide a certain amount of oxygen.
After diving beneath the surface, Jacob finally saw the situation clearly. A massive Cetitan was battling with Odin's Samurott.
[Cetitan]
Gender: Male
Type: Water
Tera Type: Water
Potential: King Level (affected by Dynamax energy, potential enhanced)
Battle Power: Quasi-King Level (affected by Dynamax energy, strength enhanced)
Ability: Simple
Moves: Tackle, Supersonic, Water Gun, Tickle, Thrash, Rest, Sleep Talk, Dive, Growl, Soak, Body Press, Aqua Tail, Rain Dance, Heavy Slam, Double-Edge, Stuff Cheeks
...
Jacob took one quick look and immediately noticed something was wrong.
The Cetitan before him had been affected by Dynamax energy, and its size was astonishingly large—it was like a colossus.
Jacob took a quick glance and found that just the whiskers on its face were longer than he was tall. A rough estimate showed that this Cetitan was almost over twenty meters long.
From a distance, Odin's Samurott looked pitifully small in front of this Cetitan—an absolutely tiny creature.
And since this Cetitan had been affected by Dynamax energy, it also meant there was definitely a Dynamax energy seal point nearby.
Jacob hadn't expected to encounter his first Dynamax energy seal point so soon.
It seemed his luck was actually pretty good after all.
