Chapter 1308 Dark Tail Fish
Azure sea, clear sky.
The slightly salty sea breeze caressed the cypress tree's face, like a layer of soft, light gauze.
He squatted on the beach, his hands filled with a rich, moist sensation, and a joy welled up from within and reached his heart.
"Great shot! Great shot!"
"Ta-ma~"
"Ta-ma-ta-ma!"
The blue and yellow spherical creatures responded in unison, their round bodies pupating like highly elastic flocked balls.
No.
They are "balls".
Seal Ball!
The gateway to the Qunqing Coast – Ginkgo Beach.
This place is home to a large number of seal balls and sea lions, and occasionally you can see a fat Dianthus sea lion crawling by, with its strange howling sounds filling the air.
Team Galactic's temporary base was still located at the exit of the mountain valley, but it was not as lively as the Cinnabar Wetlands, with only a small number of Pokémon trainers stationed there.
The garrison guards who didn't recognize Kashiwagi saw the Team Galactic emblem on his chest and assumed he was a new member. Instead of questioning him, they even offered him a simple map of the coast.
"Don't go near the ocean if you can't swim. Many aquatic Pokémon are ferocious and will drag you in."
"Thank you!"
Kashiwagi was extremely grateful and strolled along the beach with the surging waves. He then rode a Bosso surfer and experienced a long-awaited ace surfing session.
Now it's time to surf.
Returning home in high spirits, he spotted a seal ball leisurely on the beach and couldn't resist picking it up and playing with it.
The seal balls were initially reluctant, but they quickly succumbed to his snack offensive, allowing him to take whatever he wanted from them.
As for the parents of the Seal Balls, the Big Monster will take care of that.
With just its presence, neither the sea lion nor the eagle sea lion dared to approach it; it was truly a formidable force!
Although Bosscodora had some reservations about this, it was simply beneath his dignity to have a champion ace bully the weak...
"Guhou~"
"Let's touch it a little longer, we're just idling around anyway."
Cypress carefully shook the seal balls, making them roll back and forth as if she were kneading them into a ball.
Bossadora was speechless and could only gaze at the vast, crescent-shaped bay, letting out a soft "Goohoo!"
The scenery is really nice~
"Miro~"
A golden, shimmering figure leaped out of the sea; it was none other than the Odd-colored Milotic from the Kashiwagi family.
The aquatic environment cannot do without its presence. The beautiful snake, which had not seen the sea for a long time, was extremely excited and swam for several hours without coming ashore.
Kashiwagi dotes on his Pokémon so much that he would never urge it to stop, letting it play happily to this day.
"Miro~~"
Milotic's call prompted Boscodor to take a step.
It can swim but doesn't like water, after all, it's rocky, but it can never refuse its companions' invitations.
What is the job of a Guardian Trainer?
Polygon II will handle it.
The giant monster leaped into the sea, its massive and heavy body resembling a depth charge, causing huge splashes of water to fly into the sky. It then rode the waves and swam freely across the ocean, quickly arriving beside Milotic.
The two Pokémon then shook off their trainer and went off to play on their own.
Noticing this, Kashiwagi snorted and turned his head to see the Diya Sea Lion and the Sea Demon Lions approaching him menacingly, their expressions quite unfriendly.
"Alright, alright, here you go."
He stood up, intending to release the seal ball.
However, the seals were really hooked on the game, clinging to his trousers and refusing to let him go.
This dawdling caused the approaching Dianthus and Sea Lions to reveal a malicious, wicked grin. "Tear!"
"La Ga!"
Their roars, sometimes high, sometimes low, were filled with meanings that could be easily understood even without the translation of Porygon II.
—Leave some money for the journey!
Clearly, the snacks given to the seals earlier had made these big fat guys drool.
Kashiwagi wouldn't mind sharing some of the good food, after all, his reputation as a generous "money-giving boy" was well-known, but being robbed was another matter entirely.
He was going to teach these guys a lesson...
"stop!!"
The loud shout made the sea lions and sea lions stop what they were doing. They turned around and saw a dark-skinned, short-haired man running anxiously toward them.
The burly man said, "Excuse me! Please let him go!"
Ok?
Who should be spared?
Kashiwagi looked down at the adorable seal balls, then pointed to himself. "Are you negotiating with them, begging them to let me go?"
Even more incomprehensible things happened.
The Diya sea lions and the sea demon lions exchanged a glance, then scurried away to another place, no longer causing trouble or stealing anything.
Bai Mu gasped.
Good guy!
Face-saving fruit?
He looked at the newcomer and could tell from his attire and appearance that the other person was most likely Amang, the farm manager of the King Kong team on the Qinghai Coast, a kind and timid honest man.
"You actually managed to persuade them."
Kashiwagi asked, "Are you very familiar with them?"
Amang looked somewhat embarrassed in front of him, turned his head and scratched his face, "They, um, they are very familiar with the Dark Tail Fish."
Darktail fish.
A Water/Ghost-type Pokémon.
One of the "Kings" residing on the Azure Coast, evolved from the White-striped Savage Bass, a Pokémon that is suspected to have become extinct in later generations.
Its evolution method is also tricky; it needs to accumulate a certain amount of damage through moves that can reflect damage in order to survive against all odds.
Anyway, thank you for getting me out of that predicament.
Kashiwagi smiled and thanked him. The seal balls didn't bother him anymore and rolled away.
Amang said, "No, you're welcome. I know you're very capable and will definitely have a way to solve this. But I hope we can do it in a more peaceful way."
Having previously seen Kashiwagi's giant steel snake in the Kongo settlement, Amang did not underestimate him.
They only spoke up to stop it because they didn't want either party to get hurt.
Amang added, "You're here to see the Ghost Tail Fish, right? It hasn't been in a good mood lately and only appears at night. You'd better prepare some of its favorite foods."
What does it like to eat?
Kashiwa raised an eyebrow.
Amang named many vegetables and fruits, "and after kneading them into a ball, add... um... the evil fluctuations of the wandering night spirits."
The 1.8-meter-tall man seemed to show some fear when he mentioned the Wandering Night Spirit.
Those unaware of the situation might think he had been harmed by the Wandering Night Spirit.
But Kashiwagi knew that Amang was simply afraid of ghosts.
In this era where the lines between Ghost-type Pokémon and True Ghosts are blurred, it's not surprising that Amang is afraid of them.
As for adding Pokémon moves to dishes, this is known as the type innovation school in the culinary world. Alola's little chef, Mallow, once borrowed Ash's Pikachu to make a pot of cream stew.
As a result, only the chubby boy, Mamane, finished eating; the others, after being electrocuted, all chose to give up.
Despite being a Ghost-type fish, it loves to eat Dark Pulse, making the Darktail Ghoul quite extraordinary.
Kashiwagi asked, "Is only Dusknoir's Dark Pulse effective? Can't other Pokémon's Dark Pulse work?"
"Huh? Your Pokémon can use Dark Pulse too?"
Amang was stunned for a moment.
Kashiwagi nodded. "Of course, I have a bunch of Pokémon that know Dark Pulse."
Amang exclaimed with delight, "That would be perfect!"
He considered it a blessing to avoid contact with the Wandering Night Spirit.
Subsequently, led by Amang, Kashiwagi headed to Team Kongo's base on the Blue Coast—Mount Nagao.
Surprisingly, unlike in the game, besides Amang, there are several other families from the Kongo Team living here. From Amang, we learn that they are responsible for collecting species unique to the Azure Coast and bringing them back to the market in the Crimson Lotus Wetlands to exchange for supplies from the outside world.
"The Ginkgo Merchants Association occasionally comes here to exchange goods, but they come far too infrequently."
Amang was much more cheerful when he returned to familiar surroundings.
He invited Kashiwagi into his home for a while, and then made a "list" of the things he needed.
"That's it."
Amang handed over the wooden board covered with writing and abstract paintings, saying, "These things are all available on the Celestial Coast. Please look for them."
"Row."
Cypress took it, only to find that there was no need to look for it at all.
The shiny Gengar is full of them.
As a chef, he has an extraordinary interest in rare ingredients, so he bought a large quantity of unique fruits and vegetables from Xicui at the Honglian Wetland Market a couple of days ago.
I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
"Thank you for your help, I'll come again tonight."
He thanked them, put away the plank, and prepared to search for another 'King' on the Azure Coast.
What worries Kashiwagi most is whether he will get duplicate stone tablets.
If I remember correctly, the stone tablet held by Arcanine, the "King" of another island on the Azure Coast, is the Fireball Stone Tablet.
And this was already under his control through the modern Galaxy team.
He decided to find out the truth for himself.
Back on the beach.
Kashiwa shouted at the surging tides of the sea, "Stop playing around! We need to get down to business!"
All of a sudden.
In the far distance, a massive white wave suddenly surged up.
Two figures, one fat and one thin, one silver and one gold, leaped out of the sea, creating a brief burst of multicolored light in the sky above the shimmering sea.
The giant monster and the serpent have returned together, and these two have completely ignored their trainer, not even caring that he left. They're having a blast!
Kashiwa crossed his arms and sneered, but neither of the two Pokémon fell for his trick.
Bosscodora knew he wasn't easily angered, so she simply ignored his acting.
Milotic didn't realize he was angry at all, and familiarly snuggled up to him, wrapping its arms around his body and rubbing against him from all sides.
It was as if they were using him as a bath towel.
With his face covered in salty seawater, Kashiwagi completely lost his temper.
"...I must have owed you guys something in my past life."
He grabbed Milotic's delicate face, pulling it back and forth in its bewildered gaze, then lifted his head to break free from its grasp, kicking Bosscodora. "Dry it yourself! I'm not going to help you grind it if it rusts!"
Even Pokémon cannot stop the erosion of seawater, especially Steel-type Pokémon like Aggron.
Although it's level 90, it's not a legendary Pokémon that has remained unchanged since time immemorial.
They too cannot withstand the subtle influence of nature.
Bosscodora nonchalantly started digging, burying himself in the ground and then taking a sand bath.
Seeing this, Milotic happily released its trainer and pounced on him.
Kashiwagi: "..."
Polygonus II was quite surprised. "I remember it wasn't this silly before. It was quite smart when it was Feebas."
“You don’t understand, this is called maintaining one’s original saintly qualities.”
Cypress shook his head.
It's actually quite common for Pokémon to change their personality after evolving, just like how a person's personality changes as they grow from a child into an adult.
Milotic has simply become more pure.
It is loved by the vast majority of people and Pokémon, so it rarely encounters any troubles.
The only problem—insufficient combat power—was also solved after advancing to level 90.
Since its brain functions are basically not used, it naturally appears silly.
Every single one of the smart members of the Kashiwagi family has something that requires them to use their brains.
Gengar playing games, Mawile filming videos, Dragapult spying everywhere, Porygonus II constantly programming...
Even Hydreigon is always thinking about how to overthrow his superiors and how to take down Mawile and Aggron.
Bosscodora may seem carefree, but he's actually more invested in Silver Mountain than anyone else. Just like Minecraft players, he's been moving stones and digging up trees everywhere in Creative Mode.
Milotic, on the other hand, is carefree and does nothing but stick things up everywhere.
Fortunately, the battles in the Kashiwagi family require strategic thinking, which prevented Milotic from becoming a completely useless snake. Otherwise, this guy...
Just don’t say it.
After Cypress finished burrowing into the sand pit, she took a brush out of Gengar's belly and cleaned them both.
Milotic started rubbing against things again, covering him in sand.
When it was Aggron's turn, Kashiwagi, seeing the monster's smug expression, kicked it several times in a fit of anger.
"You're so smug! You'll have your moment of triumph when you find the Super Stone of the Three-Headed Dragon!"
"Guhou~"
Bosscodora didn't care at all.
Although its Mega Evolution did give it a certain advantage, it did not believe that Hydreigon's Mega Evolution would cause it to lose to it.
You don't become an ace for nothing!
During the conversation.
Kashiwagi and Bosscodora suddenly looked at the horizon not far ahead, where a pair of slightly fierce eyes were staring at them.
The focus seems to be on Milotic.
Bosscodora growled, "Goohoo..."
"You mean this guy was secretly watching you guys while you were playing?" Kashiwagi asked with a strange expression.
"Guhoo!"
Bosscodora gave an affirmative answer.
They were on the seabed at the time, and they would run away as soon as they tried to get close to each other, but they would come back to spy on each other again after a short while.
Since they did not sense any hostility, they let it spy on them.
"hehe."
Kashiwagi didn't know what expression to make. "You probably wouldn't believe it, but this guy is our target here."
The spy was undoubtedly the "King" of the Azure Coast—
Darktail Black Fish!
Its bright red body color and cloud-like tail fin are extremely eye-catching.
Amang said it only comes out at night?
Isn’t it coming?
Kashiwagi said to Milos, "You're so charming, you've even managed to seduce some otaku."
"Milo?"
Milotic tilted its head, confused, assuming the trainer was praising it.
He stepped past the giant monster and beckoned to the Dark Tail Fish, "I am an envoy sent by the Great Lord Sinnoh! Come over here! Let's have a chat!"
The dark-tailed black fish sank into the water.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi hesitated for a moment before retreating with the giant monster and having Milotic stand in front.
"Call it!"
"Mmm~ Loh~~~"
Milotic didn't ask why and obediently did as he was told.
It can only be said that it is currently recognized as the most beautiful Pokémon. Its call caused the Darktail to rise to the surface, and then slowly approached the shore.
Once it reached the shallow waters, it simply floated to the surface and drifted to a spot not far from Milotic, just like a Gyarados.
Its fierce expression suddenly turned into a shy one.
"Redo~"
The Dark Tail Fish flicked its tail, seemingly having come to a realization.
