The fog gradually thickened, and white mist filled the sea, forming a layer of frost on the yacht's railings.
The cold wind was howling, and the biting wind stung people's faces like a knife.
Standing on the deck, Nina, Captain, and other crew members looked at the sudden change in weather and realized something was wrong.
They took out thick clothes and wrapped themselves up, looking at the deep ocean with worry. In the distance, frost was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky. It was only June, the height of summer, but the weather was as cold as winter.
...
At the same time, Jacob and Odin in the deep sea had just subdued Cetitan and had no time to celebrate.
Suddenly, there was a biting chill in the seawater. The cold was so intense that even the temperature of the ocean dropped by several degrees.
The first to notice something was wrong was Samurott. It keenly sensed a chill spreading through the seawater. It immediately raised its head and gave an urgent warning to Jacob and Odin.
Then Samurott accelerated and swam toward the surface. Blastoise and Sharpedo reacted a bit slower, but they also felt an enormous sense of oppression and swam quickly toward the surface with the two humans.
The abnormal reactions of the three Pokémon also made Jacob and Odin realize something was wrong.
Just as they were still confused, suddenly the biting coldness of the seawater penetrated through to both of them.
Jacob and Odin were shivering from the cold and swam quickly toward the ocean surface.
...
"Oh no, the sea is freezing." The Captain on the yacht was the first to see the ocean in the distance begin to freeze, and it was spreading toward the yacht. "Turn the helm immediately and leave. Go, Wailord."
While operating the yacht, The Captain released Wailord and ordered, "Wailord, break through the ice and go pick up Jacob and the others."
As the massive Wailord appeared, huge waves splashed up. At the same time, Wailord let out a tremendous roar. The Water-type energy in its body surged, creating huge waves to resist the cold air.
"Jacob and the others haven't boarded the boat yet." Nina looked at this scene, a trace of anxiety flashing across her face, and she spoke with a worried expression.
"I know." The Captain's face was serious. "We have to leave first. They can easily catch up to us with the help of Pokémon, but once the ship is frozen, it will be troublesome. And I sent Wailord to pick them up."
...
At the same time, Jacob and Odin rode their Pokémon quickly toward the surface, with the cold air behind them pursuing them relentlessly.
Jacob and Odin were already shivering with cold. If they delayed any further, their lives might be in danger.
The cold air didn't have much impact on the Pokémon, but it posed great harm to the two people who were only wearing swimming trunks.
"The sea is frozen." As he got closer to the surface, Odin saw that the ocean had frozen over at some point. His voice rang out. "Samurott, break the ice!"
At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the distance, and the huge body of Wailord was seen moving through the sea, charging forward, and directly breaking through the ice to come to their rescue.
"They're over there."
The sharp seamitars of Samurott pierced through the ice layer directly, and then it leaped out. Sharpedo and Blastoise followed closely and jumped out of the opening.
Odin and Jacob looked up at the Wailord.
"That's The Captain's Wailord. They're over there. Let's catch up to them."
"Okay. Come out, Charizard." Jacob, who was shivering with cold, released Charizard without hesitation, climbed onto its back, and warmed his body.
...
Soon, the two caught up with the yacht.
"What happened, Captain!" As soon as he got on the boat, Odin sat next to a Fire-type Pokémon to keep warm and asked The Captain.
"I don't know." The Captain's expression was serious. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all these years.
The originally cloudless sky was now covered in fog, and the thin shirt on his body offered no protection against the biting cold.
"There should be an extremely powerful Pokémon nearby. For safety reasons, we'd better return immediately," said the experienced Captain.
Although he was experienced and didn't know exactly what had happened, his many years of sailing experience allowed him to make the immediate judgment that they must return home at once.
Sudden changes in weather like this were caused by the appearance of extremely powerful Pokémon nearby, and they were all at least Champion-level Pokémon.
In this ocean, if you encountered a Pokémon with Champion-level strength, the best course of action was to run.
While everyone was talking, Jacob lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Others might not know what had happened, but he understood it clearly.
...
"You have entered the range of the Dynamax energy seal point."
...
"The specific location of the Dynamax Energy Seal Point has been marked on the map and can be viewed through the map system."
...
"Using the core item Wishing Star to successfully enter the secret rift of the Dynamax Energy Seal Point - Aurora Veil."
...
"The secret rift is a one-time small secret rift. It will automatically disappear after the Dynamax energy seal point is unlocked."
...
"There is an extremely powerful Gigantamax Pokémon in the secret rift."
...
"Defeat the Gigantamax Pokémon to unlock the Dynamax energy seal point."
...
"Warning: every Dynamax energy seal point exists within a secret rift. There must be at least one extremely powerful permanently Gigantamaxed Pokémon in the secret rift. Please ensure you have sufficient strength before launching a challenge and be careful. If you lose, your life will be in danger."
...
Secret rift.
A pseudo-secret realm formed by the influence of powerful energy. Once the energy support was lost, the secret rift would disappear.
The secret rift where Jacob and the others now found themselves was formed under the influence of Dynamax energy.
...
Jacob frowned. It wasn't difficult to see from the system prompt that they had entered a secret realm called Aurora Veil.
In order to remove the seal on the Dynamax energy point in Aurora Veil, they must defeat the Gigantamax Pokémon guarding the secret rift here.
The strange weather phenomenon and abnormal coldness before their eyes were definitely caused by the Gigantamax Pokémon in the secret rift.
Gigantamax.
Although there was only one letter difference between Gigantamax and Dynamax, Gigantamax was an upgraded version of Dynamax.
Gigantamax Pokémon not only had exclusive Gigantamax forms but also exclusive G-Max moves.
As far as Jacob knew, almost all Pokémon could Dynamax, but so far only thirty-three Pokémon could Gigantamax.
This also meant that within the secret rift of Aurora Veil before them, there must be one of these thirty-three Gigantamax Pokémon.
The only Gigantamax Pokémon you could encounter in the ocean were Blastoise, Kingler, Lapras, Drednaw, and Coalossal.
Of these five Pokémon, only Lapras was related to cold weather.
The exclusive G-Max moves of the other four Pokémon were all Water-type moves, and only Lapras's exclusive G-Max move was Ice-type.
In other words, among all thirty-three exclusive G-Max moves, Lapras was the only Gigantamax Ice-type Pokémon.
And Lapras's G-Max move was called G-Max Resonance.
There was no doubt that there was a ninety-nine percent chance that there was a Gigantamax Lapras nearby, and the remaining one percent was the margin of error Jacob left for himself.
