Chapter 132

When Nidoking approached the Magnetic Octopus, the sea-blue light on its body was replaced by a bright yellow light.

Arcs of electricity leaped on its body.

The Magnetic Octopus felt something was wrong and hurriedly waved its tentacles, wanting to slap Nidoking into the sea in one go.

Immediately, Gengar appeared in the air, a flash of black light appearing in its pale eyes.

Countless black balls containing massive energy appeared beside it, rushing straight toward the octopus’s tentacles, carving out streams of air.

Ghost-type move—Shadow Ball!

Several tentacles were blasted off in succession, the huge tentacles falling into the sea, and eerie bright blue blood sprayed out, dyeing the ocean.

"Ying!"

The Magnetic Octopus cried out in pain.

Facing Nidoking and Gengar, its magnetic ability was completely useless, and it could only rely on its massive body to fight.

But facing the elusive Gengar and the exceptionally flexible Nidoking, it basically couldn't hit them.

It could only be passively beaten.

The next moment, Nidoking’s fists were stained with dazzling light, the yellow color symbolizing lightning was extremely rich, completely illuminating its face.

Electric-type move—Thunder Punch!

In the dark clouds of the sky, bolts of lightning gathered together, forming a thundercloud, as if thunder snakes were swimming.

Boom!

In an instant, a very thick thunder pillar descended from the sky, the terrifying lightning strike directly piercing the air, making a deafening sound.

Electric-type move—Thunder!

(bgcj) A huge golden light flashed.

The Magnetic Octopus was completely shrouded in lightning, glowing with dazzling brilliance, its whole body covered in countless electric arcs, and a burnt smell arose.

Under the dual blow of Thunder Punch and Thunder, the Magnetic Octopus was directly severely damaged.

Luo Ge squinted, looking at the octopus, which still waved its tentacles to attack Nidoking despite a layer of charcoal appearing on its skin.

He realized its vitality was also very tenacious.

Visibly, the wounds on its body were healing, and it seemed that if given a little more time, it could return to its original state.

But this was exactly what he wanted.

Let him deliver the final blow.

Step, step—

Luo Ge stepped toward the side of the ship.

Morel only then came back to his senses, looking at Luo Ge’s back, an absurd thought flashing through his mind.

Could it be...

Following that, Luo Ge stepped directly over the side of the ship and leaped toward the sea, startling Morel so much his sunglasses tilted.

Luo Ge, who jumped off the ship, had his eyes fixed, and ice-blue Nen suddenly erupted, rushing toward the octopus beside him with him as the starting point.

Ice-type move—Freeze-Dry!

[Freeze-Dry]: Rapidly freezes the opponent, dealing double damage to Water-type creatures.

This was a rare Ice-type move that was super effective against Water-types.

Sizzle—

The sea surface along the way froze into ice blocks, making subtle sounds, spreading all the way to the Magnetic Octopus.

Causing most of its body to be frozen into frost.

The Magnetic Octopus’s vitality was fading rapidly, its tentacles no longer moving, gradually tending toward a dead corpse.

Luo Ge stood on the ice, flipped his hand to take out a pink Poké Ball, and threw it hard at the huge Magnetic Octopus.

[Heal Ball]: After capture, the creature’s injuries will be completely restored.

Luo Ge was afraid that the Magnetic Octopus was too severely injured and would kick the bucket, so he simply used this [Heal Ball] to do it all in one step.

It was already in this state; if it still refused to be captured, then Luo Ge wouldn't care.

At least the experience points were in hand.

The pink Heal Ball drew an arc in the air, accurately hitting the octopus, turning it into a ball of red light and taking it in.

Gengar grabbed it casually, and the Heal Ball didn't even shake before the success prompt sounded.

The Magnetic Octopus also knew the current situation, and its extreme desire to survive made it not put up any resistance.

Luo Ge nodded, returned to the ship, and at the same time, Gengar and the Heal Ball were put away.

Looking at the calm Luo Ge, Morel and Knuckle’s expressions were surprisingly consistent.

Both were dumbfounded.

They couldn't imagine that such a powerful octopus was actually solved by Luo Ge alone.

Especially Morel, who originally thought about letting the young man try, not holding much hope.

Never thought that before he even had a chance to properly make a move, that strange octopus was solved by Luo Ge.

Although the ball Luo Ge threw at the end and the octopus’s disappearance out of thin air were a bit strange.

But the fact that the octopus was dealt with was undeniable.

Perhaps he needed to re-evaluate Luo Ge.

Originally, he only regarded Luo Ge as a genius being excavated, needing some time to stand out.

According to Biscuit’s words, this raw stone had already been polished to shine, and this luster would become increasingly vigorous.

Morel waved his hand, dispersed the Deep Purple Squad, patted Luo Ge on the shoulder, and praised:

"Hahaha, good!"

"I really didn't misjudge the person; you are indeed a rare genius in the world."

Thinking back, when he was Luo Ge’s age, he didn't know anything, not even [Nen].

Compared to this, Morel couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed; this was a monster far more powerful than him.

If he had previously treated Luo Ge with the feeling of an elder looking at a junior.

Then from now on, he would look at Luo Ge with the eyes of a peer!

This was respect for the strong.

Unlike Morel and the other, Shizuku was well-known for watching Luo Ge gently.

She believed that Luo Ge would not have an accident.

Because he was Luo Ge.

Luo Ge smiled and didn't say much.

After dealing with the [Magnetic Octopus], Morel planned to restart the ship and go back.

The weather here was bad, so it was best not to stay long.

Luo Ge was calculating this harvest.

Needless to say, the [Magnetic Octopus], he had another great general under his command, and it was the maritime combat power he currently lacked.

The experience points brought by the [Magnetic Octopus] also let Nidoking and Gengar go a step further.

It was a large chunk more than the experience points brought by the [Stone Spirit].

Thinking of this, Luo Ge also took the opportunity to use today’s Nen ability.

"Obtained item [Fresh Water] x10."

"Obtained item [Diving Suit]."

"Obtained item [Heart Scale]."

"Obtained trait [Magnet Pull]."

[Fresh Water]: A gas-filled drink, cool and delicious, which can restore a lot of HP after drinking.

[Diving Suit]: A high-tech product, possessing all equipment and functions needed for diving underwater, with adjustable size.

[Beautiful Scale]: The scale of a certain Pokémon, which can allow a specific Pokémon to evolve.

[Magnet Pull]: Can use magnetism to partially control metal.

The things this time were generally very good.

Among them, what Luo Ge paid most attention to were the [Beautiful Scale] and the [Magnet Pull] trait.

The Pokédex didn't say that the [Beautiful Scale] was actually the scale shed by Feebas’s evolved form, Milotic.

And this scale could allow an unevolved Feebas to evolve into Milotic.

The [Magnet Pull] trait was a bit different from the game, becoming able to control metal like Magneto.

However, to what extent he could do it, he would have to try later.

While his thoughts were lingering, Luo Ge came to Shizuku and looked at the Feebas in the fish tank.

He quietly took out a palm-sized scale, which was extremely beautiful.

Rainbow colors were rendered on the scale, and under the sunlight, the scale glowed with various different gorgeous colors, creating a dream-like effect.

Generally speaking, a Milotic would only have one or two [Beautiful Scales], which were also the most beautiful scales on their bodies.

That was why it was so stunning.

A flash of brilliance passed through Shizuku’s eyes; even she, with her unique aesthetic, felt this scale was very beautiful.

"This is?" Shizuku asked in confusion.

Luo Ge placed the scale in front of the fish tank and said softly: "This is the thing that can let Feebas evolve."

"Feebas, do you want to evolve?"

Feebas stared at the [Beautiful Scale], the original dullness gradually fading, revealing a longing expression.

It naturally wanted to evolve.

As long as it evolved, it could get rid of this ugly appearance and become that graceful posture on the scroll.

But...

Is this really good?
