On the dark ocean floor, Cetitan twisted its enormous body and fled into the distance.
Seeing this scene, Jacob frowned and hesitated about whether to chase after it.
Although this Cetitan only had King-level potential, it was still a good Pokémon. And taking a step back, even if Jacob didn't use it himself, it would be excellent for someone else to use.
"Let's go back first." Odin beside him waved his hand, signaling Jacob not to worry, and took out a Poké Ball. "Go, Sharpedo."
Sharpedo, a Pokémon with the title of ocean overlord, had a brutal and cunning personality, as well as being cruel and bloodthirsty. It was a Pokémon that was difficult for trainers to tame.
Many trainers in coastal areas would do their best to capture a Sharpedo.
Because Sharpedo had many advantages.
First of all, Sharpedo was quite outstanding among all ocean Pokémon. Its high Speed and high Attack, combined with its excellent Speed Boost Ability, made it faster and faster in battle. Its lethality was extremely terrifying, making it a true ocean overlord.
At the same time, Sharpedo, like sharks in the real world, was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and had strong tracking abilities. It was simply a must-have Pokémon for hunting down fleeing targets.
Finally, Sharpedo was a Pokémon that wasn't good at swimming for long periods, but when it was chasing or escaping, it could spray large amounts of water through the vent on its rear, bursting out at amazing speed in a short period of time. It was simply a perfect ability for both pursuit and escape.
The above advantages had made Sharpedo one of the most popular Pokémon among trainers in coastal areas.
However, Sharpedo's shortcomings were also extremely obvious. First of all, its HP and Defense were low. Its strength on the offensive end was exchanged for weakness on the defensive end.
What was given with one hand was taken away with the other.
Secondly, although Sharpedo could burst into action in a short period, it was also difficult for it to swim for long durations or distances.
The last and most important point was that Sharpedo couldn't breathe independently with its gills, but instead relied on swimming through the water and letting water flow through its mouth to obtain oxygen.
This also meant that if the space for breeding Sharpedo was very small, the Sharpedo would often crash into the glass and injure itself, or even break the glass, because it swam too fast and couldn't stop in time.
Therefore, even though countless coastal trainers forcibly captured Sharpedo, there were very few trainers who could actually tame one.
Only water-type secret realms and top breeding facilities could raise a small number of Sharpedo. Other small breeding facilities weren't capable of raising a Sharpedo.
Due to the above reasons, there were very few trainers who used Sharpedo. In addition, the dorsal fin of Sharpedo was an extremely precious food ingredient and was highly sought after by food enthusiasts, so Sharpedo had been hunted in large numbers.
Today, Sharpedo were so scarce that they were endangered.
This was also why Jacob was so surprised when he saw that Odin had a Sharpedo.
If a trainer owned a Sharpedo, then there was no doubt that this trainer was either a sea wanderer who regarded the ocean as their home, or from a wealthy family.
There was no doubt that Odin belonged to the latter category.
"The Sharpedo has locked onto Cetitan's trail. Let's get on the boat first," Odin said. "Don't worry, it won't be able to escape."
"Alright." Jacob nodded.
As expected, to capture Pokémon in coastal areas, you still needed to find professionals like Odin and be fully prepared.
...
The two returned to the yacht from the sea. As soon as they boarded the yacht, Nina hurried over and looked at Jacob with concern. "Are you okay?"
Jacob smiled and said, "I'm fine. We just encountered a very powerful Cetitan, and it ran away."
"As long as you're fine. If the Pokémon got away, it got away." Nina didn't care about Cetitan's escape. She was most concerned about Jacob's safety, and catching Pokémon was secondary. "Safety first—we can just fish for Pokémon again."
"Actually, it didn't completely escape. Cetitan has been injured by my Samurott, and my Sharpedo has also locked onto its blood scent."
"As long as we follow the scent of blood in the sea, we'll definitely be able to catch it." After explaining, Odin yelled toward the bridge. "Captain, speed up and follow the Sharpedo."
Tha Captain of this yacht was also a King-level trainer. He commanded a King-level Wailord and was nearly invincible at sea.
Everyone looked toward the ocean, and only then did they spot a shark fin emerging from the water, swimming into the distance.
"Let's go."
...
The yacht followed the Sharpedo and sailed toward the depths of the ocean.
The Sharpedo was always leading the way, constantly pursuing the trail of Cetitan, and finally, after traveling for more than ten minutes.
The Sharpedo suddenly let out an excited roar, leaped out of the water, dove straight down, and swam even faster.
"Cetitan is right ahead." Looking at this scene, Odin also said, "Let's go, Jacob. Let's go together."
"Okay." Jacob nodded. After diving once, Jacob had gradually overcome the fear in his heart.
Diving was just like that—the only difference was between zero times and countless times.
The first time was unfamiliar, the second time was familiar. Jacob followed Odin and jumped into the sea again.
...
As soon as they entered the water, Sharpedo shot forward like a sharp arrow. Following the direction of Sharpedo's swimming, Jacob and Odin also found traces of the injured Cetitan.
"Let's surround it and don't give it a chance to escape."
Samurott, Blastoise, and Sharpedo were swimming through the sea, approaching the injured Cetitan from three directions, ready to launch fierce attacks at any moment.
"Samurott, Megahorn."
"Blastoise, use Dark Pulse."
"Sharpedo, Crunch."
Upon hearing Odin's command, the three Pokémon attacked almost simultaneously.
A large amount of water spurted from the vent on Sharpedo's tail, propelling Sharpedo to break through the water current and swim toward Cetitan at high speed. It opened its massive jaws and bit into Cetitan's body in one motion.
At the same time, Dark-type energy spurted from Blastoise's cannon, and its Dark Pulse accurately hit Cetitan.
Finally, Samurott's Megahorn directly pierced into Cetitan's body, and blood immediately gushed out.
Under the three-sided attack, Cetitan was severely injured in an instant. It let out a pained roar, thrashed its body wildly, and launched a fierce attack on the nearest Sharpedo with murderous eyes.
Preparing to fight to the death.
"Blastoise, continue using Dark Pulse. Jacob, prepare to capture!" Odin's voice rang out. His three Pokémon didn't give Cetitan any chance to catch its breath and continued their assault.
Accompanied by Blastoise's final Dark Pulse passing through the ocean and hitting Cetitan.
Cetitan also completely lost its ability to battle.
At this moment, Jacob also raised a Poké Ball and threw it at Cetitan.
A red light flashed, and Cetitan was drawn into the Poké Ball.
At this moment, a strange and ethereal sound was heard, and the fog on the ocean surface grew thicker.
