"Gengar, what's wrong? Did you sense something?"
Xiao Zhi quickly asked, feeling a subtle sense of unease.
Gyarados truly lived up to its reputation as a ferocious Pokémon; it hadn't lost its combat ability even after Pikachu's Thunderbolt, which made him want to capture it.
Before he could even take out a poké ball, several more Gyarados swam up from under the water. Each of them looked menacing, their sharp fangs sending chills down everyone's spines.
"A Gyarados pack???"
Kojiro quickly counted the number of Gyarados on the field; there were five of them!
The one that had been shocked by Pikachu also lost its combat ability after calling its companions.
That meant they only needed to contend with four Gyarados.
"Damn it, in this situation, are we just waiting to die?"
Musashi scratched her hair frantically; in this situation, even Ekans, Koffing, and Meowth combined wouldn't be enough to deal with just one!
As these rampaging Gyarados gradually appeared, the sky also grew gloomy, covered in dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending downpour.
The inky black clouds shrouded the entire sky, blocking out the light under an impenetrable gloom. A heavy aura permeated the air, bringing with it a sense of oppression and dullness.
Xiao Zhi looked at his two Pokémon, who were ready for battle, with determined eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Pikachu, Gengar, I'm counting on you later."
At the same time, he also said to Li Qingfeng in his mind, 'Li Dage, please help me with any gaps or omissions later.'
'Hmm, no problem.' Li Qingfeng nodded. The only way now was to fight this group of Gyarados.
Xiao Zhi only had one water-type Pokémon, Squirtle, and it definitely couldn't swim faster than them.
The fierce winds howled, stirring up towering waves that roared like stampeding beasts. The sea surface churned with massive waves, surging powerfully towards the distance, like a giant mountain rolling over.
The leading Gyarados moved!
As it opened its massive mouth, a strong and unparalleled energy began to condense within it.
Water vapor began to fill its enormous mouth, forming a huge stream of water. This stream grew increasingly powerful, consuming the surrounding moisture and water.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"
Xiao Zhi quickly commanded, and Pikachu leaped up, dozens of golden high-voltage currents appearing on both sides of its cheeks. These currents surrounded Pikachu's body and suddenly burst forth towards the Gyarados!
The electric current began to travel across the Gyarados's body, like a vibrant lightning bolt. Golden electric arcs danced on the Gyarados's scales, bringing a stinging sensation that made the Gyarados writhe in pain.
'Now's the time! Have Pikachu jump onto Gengar's back, and after getting close to the opponent, use Discharge.'
[Discharge: Attacks all Pokémon around itself with a dazzling electric shock.]
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhi shouted, "Pikachu, jump onto Gengar's back, then use Discharge!"
Gengar flew in front of Pikachu, and the latter immediately landed on Gengar's back.
A determined expression appeared on Pikachu's face. It clenched its small fists, its body trembling slightly, as if accumulating energy.
The electric light gradually spread from its cheeks, forming a bright halo. Countless electric arcs flashed and jumped around Pikachu, creating a striking scene.
When Gengar arrived in front of this group of Gyarados, the Gyarados instinctively stopped their mouth movements. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pikachu unleashed its powerful attack!
Current gradually released from Pikachu's body, beginning to form a terrifying and immense energy field around it. The surrounding air began to hum, as if filled with high voltage.
A dazzling electric light burst forth from Pikachu, like a divine thunder descending from the sky. The current, like countless fine needles, shot out from Pikachu's body, dancing and splashing in all directions.
In an instant, bright electric arcs spread densely, covering the sea surface where the four Gyarados were located. The roaring sound of the current was deafening, like a mountain crashing down!
This group of Gyarados was instantly engulfed by the electric current. Bright electric sparks burst from their blue scales, revealing painful expressions, and they let out a series of piercing roars!
Gengar, being at close range, took the full force of Pikachu's attack and was not doing well itself. Fortunately, it wasn't weak to electric-type attacks, otherwise, it would have fallen into the sea on the spot.
'The level is too high.'
Li Qingfeng frowned slightly; the level of this group of Gyarados was ridiculously high, and even after taking Pikachu's Discharge, they only sustained significant damage.
Xiao Zhi anxiously asked, 'Li Dage, what should we do?'
Li Qingfeng saw that the Gyarados were covered in electric current and said to Xiao Zhi, 'No rush. While they are all paralyzed, have Kojiro send out Koffing to use Smog.'
'Okay!'
Xiao Zhi nodded repeatedly, quickly seizing the opportunity to say, "Kojiro, have Koffing use Smog to block their vision!"
Kojiro immediately pulled out a poké ball and commanded, "Koffing, use your proud Smog!"
A thick smoke began to rise around Koffing's body, gradually spreading. The smoke, like a black dense fog, rapidly dispersed over the surrounding sea, drifting towards this group of Gyarados.
Soon, these smokes enveloped the Gyarados's bodies. The smoke clouds spread, quickly obscuring the Gyarados's vision.
The Gyarados, who were originally stunned by the electric shock, were now disoriented by the dense smoke. They looked around and roared, trying to find their targets, but the smoke made everything blurry.
Soon, with the added buffs of smoke and paralysis, Xiao Zhi and his group successfully escaped the Gyarados's pursuit.
However, their situation didn't seem to have improved much...
As the saying goes, it was one wave after another!
'Li Dage, is there a way for us to escape dangers from natural environments?'
Xiao Zhi looked at the dark clouds in the sky and swallowed.
'What's that about?'
Li Qingfeng clearly didn't know what was happening. He also looked up and saw that at this moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with bolts of lightning tearing through the dark sky, emitting terrifying light!
Thunder then boomed, deafeningly loud. The electric light illuminated the rolling black waves, making every drop of water sparkle with a blue glow in the air!
'Wait, could this situation be?!' Li Qingfeng immediately realized what was happening.
If he remembered correctly, this was the scene in the journey where Xiao Zhi's Pikachu fought against natural lightning!
Suddenly, an exceptionally thick and blue bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. It was like a giant dragon-like electric arc, cutting a dazzling path of light through the air!
Pikachu, eager to save its master, jumped into the air with Gengar's help. Its entire body was enveloped in golden lightning, emitting incredibly powerful electric-type energy!
The golden lightning and the blue-white lightning clashed, instantly forming an unprecedented collision of electrical energy. The two currents intertwined, emitting dazzling light, like brilliant starlight in the night sky, mesmerizing!
