Chapter 130: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 58

If the error in Qi allocation is too high, one is likely to suffer far more damage than expected.

Or one's own attacks may fail to inflict the proper damage on the opponent.

Because 【Hard】 and 【Flow】 must be used in tandem, Bisque arranged for these two techniques to be trained together.

Luo Ge's talent did not disappoint Bisque's expectations; within half a month, he mastered the basics of both techniques and approached proficiency.

【Hard】 is manageable; as long as one is skilled in 【Wrap】 and 【Refine】, one can master the basics, even reach proficiency.

But 【Flow】 is different.

【Flow】 is widely regarded by Nen users as the most difficult technique to master among the advanced skills.

This requires long-term training to gradually shorten the time needed to shift one's Nen.

And in the critical moments of battle, even a single instant of delay can be a fatal flaw.

Moments later, Luo Ge suddenly thrust his right fist forward; a sharp wind of force roared past, pressing down upon the massive rock.

Pure Nen tightly coiled around his fist, acting like an amplifier, magnifying its power countless times over.

Bang!

The rock exploded with a thunderous crash!

Leaving behind only a pile of powder.

Luo Ge nodded in satisfaction; whether it was the control of 【Hard】 or the speed of 【Flow】, both were quite good.

Thinking this, Luo Ge stroked the Eevee on his shoulder and then activated his Nen ability for the day.

"Obtained item 【Mystic Drop】."

"Obtained eight 【Dive Balls】."

"Obtained item 【Water Z】."

"Obtained skill 【Icy Wind】."

【Mystic Drop】: Can amplify the power of Water-type moves.

【Dive Ball】: Can easily capture creatures living in water.

【Water Z】: A special item crafted from Z-Crystals; when worn, it allows a Pokémon's Water-type moves to become stronger.

【Icy Wind】: Raises a frosty wind to attack, which can lower the enemy's speed.

Among these, what surprised Luo Ge the most was the 【Water Z】.

This is an item required for a Pokémon to use a Water-type Z-Move; if only a Z-Ring were available as well, it would be perfect.

It seems my luck is indeed quite good today.

"Bui~"

A slight smile curled Luo Ge's lips as he scratched the Eevee's fluffy chin, making the Eevee chuckle with delight.

Glancing at the three women on the other side gazing up at the starry sky, Luo Ge approached a fish tank.

Feebas was waiting inside.

Those vacant eyes looked up toward the sky, the entire starry expanse reflected in their depths.

The originally hollow, lifeless eyes were set off by the brilliant starry sky, possessing a unique kind of beauty.

"Feebas, the starry sky is beautiful, isn't it?"

Luo Ge sat beside the fish tank, admiring the beauty of the sky, and sighed.

The starry sky of 【Carter Port】 was more beautiful than any he had seen before; the galaxy here was exceptionally bright.

Feebas came to its senses and, through the glass of the fish tank, saw Luo Ge beside it; at that very moment, Luo Ge turned his head as well.

Their eyes met.

Luo Ge took out a canvas depicting a certain graceful figure and unfolded it, saying, "It's finally done."

"Take a look; this is what you will look like in the future."

There, a creature resembling a sea serpent leaped from the paper, rendered with extreme vividness.

Its body was cream-colored, with red eyes and three black spots beneath its neck.

Its head was quite long, with a protrusion on top of its head. Its eyebrows extended from its body, mostly red in color.

Its tail was covered in blue and pink scales, marked with black stripes.

This was Feebas's evolution—Milotic.

Named after the goddess of beauty in mythology, it was naturally a creature of considerable beauty.

It is said to be the most beautiful Pokémon, often serving as the subject of paintings and sculptures by artists, providing inspiration.

Luo Ge drew the form of Milotic precisely to let Feebas know how beautiful it could become.

"So, you need not feel inferior about your appearance; you must have confidence."

Feebas gazed silently at the portrait; the creature within was exquisitely beautiful, completely different from itself.

There was a world of difference between them.

Could it truly be so beautiful?

Feebas found it hard to believe; a sense of inferiority unconsciously surfaced in its eyes, afraid to entertain such a lofty dream.

"Bui, bui!"

Eevee, with a sincere expression, called out to Feebas.

It believed Feebas could definitely do it.

Eevee was encouraging Feebas, wanting to give it a bit more courage.

Watching Feebas, whose eyes were gradually filling with emotion, Luo Ge's expression brightened slightly, feeling even more that this endeavor could succeed.

After a while, Luo Ge and Eevee left Feebas's side, leaving Feebas alone to gaze up at the sky, blowing bubble after bubble.

That painting remained in place, viewed by Feebas again and again.

Its thoughts were also quietly changing.

The night was boundless.

In a certain warehouse of Carter Port,

a place that should have been empty, three figures had inexplicably appeared.

"Is everything arranged?"

The man who spoke wore a suit and leather shoes, with gold-rimmed glasses and a pair of eyes clouded by gloom, exuding an air of a beast in human skin.

Beside him stood a tall, burly giant with a vigorous aura.

The giant, with messy red hair, a full beard, and muscular build, grinned savagely:

"Hahaha, rest assured. With Hosker's help, everything is arranged."

Having finished speaking, the giant patted his sturdy chest, producing a dull thud, as if striking steel.

Hosker was dressed differently from the other two, wearing ordinary casual clothes, and radiating an air of laziness all over.

It seemed that staying near him for too long would make one lazy, unwilling even to turn over.

The man in the suit nodded and reminded, "Mind your address. From now on, do not use names."

"Follow what we agreed upon earlier."

"I am Pride."

"You are Wrath and Sloth."

"We are the Seven Deadly Sins, destined to become the world's number one criminals!"

"And this upcoming operation will be our first battle to make a name for ourselves."

Pride's tone was forceful and resolute, full of confidence, believing that under his leadership, the goal would surely be achieved.

And he must achieve this goal!

"With such a thing, creating an attack is too easy for us."

Immediately, Pride pulled out a test tube filled with eerie gas similar to Death Nen.

According to what that person said, this thing is called 【Resentment】, the counterpart to 【Nen】.

Injecting this into a living creature can turn it into a ferocious beast several times stronger, filled with bloodlust.

But the drawback is that it cannot be controlled; the beast will destroy indiscriminately, friend and foe alike.

In fact, they had not previously determined the location of the attack.

Later, someone who called himself ". Avenger" came to their door voluntarily and made a deal with them.

The terms of the deal were that they needed to create an attack in Carter Port and cause widespread destruction there.

The Avenger would provide a considerable amount of 【Resentment】 to help them attack Carter Port.

After the deed was done, he would also give them a large sum of money.

Pride naturally sensed that something complicated was going on inside; there must be some hidden story he didn't know about.

But Pride also had his own calculations.

He could achieve his original goal, receive help, and get paid.

Nothing better than this could be found.

The next morning,

Luo Ge and Shizuku arrived at the port by the beach.

Today they had agreed to set sail with Morel Mackernasey, while Machi had been dragged by Bisuke to tour the city.

It was said that many rare-quality pearls had recently appeared on the market, often selling out as soon as they showed up.

So Bisuke planned to guard the city "without moving a step."

This port was relatively small, mainly used for tourists to take medium and small yachts out to sea for a tour.

Morel Mackernasey and Knuckle Bine had already been waiting here.

Although four people were setting sail, Morel Mackernasey, considering there might be some gains, chose a medium-sized yacht.

Though the sparrow is small, all its internal organs are complete.

All kinds of facilities were available inside, including a kitchen, bedroom, and so on.

The ship sailed away from the port, leaving a series of ripples on the sea surface that gradually spread out.

Shizuku held the fish tank containing the Ugly Fish, watching the ship slowly move away from the shore and admiring the surrounding scenery.

Perhaps it was Shizuku's remark when they met that made the Ugly Fish particularly fond of staying with her, so Luo Ge simply let Shizuku take it.

Inside the cockpit,

"I told you before that this voyage actually involves a mission."

"These past two days, I heard that a large-scale creature has appeared in the sea area to the southwest, causing damage to several fishing boats."

"We are going there this time to investigate."

Morel Mackernasey explained to Luo Ge while steering the ship.

"Does this kind of thing happen often?" Luo Ge asked curiously.

If there was an opportunity, he could try to capture a few powerful marine creatures here.

Combat strength must be present on land, sea, and air.

As for the Ugly Fish, it is still unknown when it can evolve into Milotic.

Morel Mackernasey shook his head, his eyes behind sunglasses staring straight ahead, and said, "It happens relatively often."

"Carter Port's geographical location is special; when many popular items with special effects appear, risks accompany them as well."
