Chapter 761: Capturing the Ice Giant

Without a doubt.

This group of aggressive Sea Bullies wasn't here to watch the fun.

"Go!"

All Baimu patted Hydreigon's neck, and the latter flapped its six wings and dived toward the Sharpedo school; the tacit understanding between the two didn't need much language.

Asahi, who was focused on capturing Lei Jiaisi, didn't notice the Hydreigon flying over at all.

"Aura Sphere!"

"Wulao!"

Urshifu let out a low growl, its golden claws gripped the air, and it threw the deep blue energy shockwave at Lei Jiaisi, which had just exploded out of the ball, with all its might!

Boom!

The majestic white mist surged, and Lei Jiaisi let out a long cry and fell to the ground with a bang.

Crack crack crack—

The ice surface frozen by the intense collision shattered like a biscuit; seeing Lei Jiaisi, which had kicked up countless fragments, seemingly about to sink to the bottom of the water, Asahi felt a tightness in her heart and hurriedly threw the Poké Ball.

If Lei Jiaisi were to dive to the bottom of the water and run away, all the hard work for such a long time would be in vain.

On the other side.

All Baimu and Hydreigon blocked the Sharpedo school's path and were explaining the situation to them.

"... So after the battle is over, I will be responsible for melting the ice, you can rest assured, it will definitely not cause any bad effects."

"Shame! Shame!"

The leading Sharpedo had a low voice and still looked very angry.

He continued to persuade patiently, because the Sea Bullies were not only considered ferocious Pokémon, but were also endowed with the two adjectives of cunning and intelligence.

As for whether Sharpedo could cause an impact on Asahi, who was far away on the ice surface...

Believe that as long as you have seen them rush out of the water, use their tails to spray a large amount of water to dance wildly in the air, and bite through the hulls of passing ships with their snow-white sharp teeth, you would definitely not have similar questions.

These guys could completely manage the seemingly complex and difficult operation of shattering the ice surface at the bottom of the water, rushing out to attack the target, and then diving back into the seabed.

Perhaps it was sincere enough.

Or perhaps the Pokéblocks were given generously enough.

After the Sharpedo school scrambled like koi being fed in a park pond, they reluctantly agreed not to interfere with Asahi's process of capturing Lei Jiaisi.

However.

Just as All Baimu breathed a sigh of relief, a loud bang came from behind.

He turned his head quickly and saw a huge ice flower growing from the ice surface, as if the water splashed up after a heavy object fell into the water was instantly frozen.

Asahi was far away and safe, while Urshifu, who was closer, was covered in white frost, both of them hanging their heads and staring tightly under the ice.

Lei Jiaisi escaped?

Huh!?

Miss Asahi, you are too lackluster!

All Baimu had thought that the aggressive Sharpedo school caused Asahi to fail to capture Lei Jiaisi in the original plot.

He hadn't expected there to be another reason...

Was the finishing attack too forceful, allowing Lei Jiaisi to find an opportunity?

"Everyone! Please do me a favor!" He didn't hesitate to ask the Sharpedo school for help.

These guys had just eaten a lot of Pokéblocks, so helping him chase Lei Jiaisi wasn't too much to ask, right? Could Lei Jiaisi in the water swim faster than a Sharpedo at full speed?

The leading Sharpedo didn't want to agree at first, but upon hearing that this large area of floating ice on the sea surface was all caused by Lei Jiaisi, it dived down without a word.

All Baimu quickly threw a micro-tracker onto a Sharpedo and shouted:

"Don't get close to it! You will be frozen!"

No response.

The Sharpedo school dived into the seabed and rushed toward the place where the ice flower was, swimming under the ice surface in the blink of an eye, and quickly moved away.

Did they hear it?

Even if they heard it, it would be hard to follow, right?

"Something big is going to happen!"

He patted his forehead, took out his phone, and had Hydreigon fly according to the direction of the guidance.

At the same time.

Asahi, who was thinking about whether to chase, suddenly discovered the Sharpedo school swimming past like torpedoes under the ice surface, and couldn't help but look stunned.

Urshifu keenly sensed something approaching from behind and turned its head, its gaze colliding with All Baimu riding on Hydreigon.

"Laosi!"

"What?"

Asahi turned her head accordingly, just in time to see Hydreigon flying to her side and stopping suddenly, and said in surprise: "All Baimu! Why are you here?"

"I've been here for a long time, let's not talk about small talk for now, hurry up and chase, it's still not too late!"

All Baimu reached out a hand to her: "Don't let Lei Jiaisi run away!"

"Okay!"

Seeing this, Asahi decisively took out a Poké Ball with her left hand to recall Urshifu, and grabbed All Baimu's arm with her right hand to ride on Hydreigon's back.

"Shasang!"

With one more person on its back, Hydreigon didn't feel any strain at all, but instead excitedly raised its head and howled, its six wings flapping fast and moving forward at full speed.

Whoosh!

Gusts of wind!

Route 105 was staging a chase drama composed of three parties.

In the sea, Lei Jiaisi was shrouded in blue light, moving forward at a speed not slow, like a submarine, with a group of ferocious Sharpedo chasing behind it, and the water sprayed from its tail made the distance between the two sides close rapidly.

Above the sea surface.

Hydreigon flapped its wings and flew past, its speed no slower than the Sharpedo, even though it was carrying two people.

The chase drama lasted for a while.

It seemed that Lei Jiaisi realized it was difficult to shake off the pursuers while in the ocean, so it quickly released cold air to freeze a large area of seawater, creating an underwater glacier to block the Sharpedo school's path.

Immediately.

Boom!

Lei Jiaisi suddenly broke through the sea surface and fell into a barren island with sparse plants and jagged gray rocks, wrapped in blue light.

"Jiji-jiji! Lei! Ji! Ai!"

"Eh?"

All Baimu, who was chasing, was stunned for a moment; he hadn't heard clearly from far away just now, Lei Jiaisi's mechanical sound wasn't "dudu-dudu," it was "jiji-jiji"?

So weird!

Asahi jumped off Hydreigon's back, released Urshifu again, and shouted: "Close Combat!"

"Wulao!"

It let out a low growl and rushed forward.

Lei Jiaisi raised its arms high and shot an ice-blue lightning bolt back, but it was dodged by Urshifu, who had keen senses, by lowering its body.

In an instant.

Urshifu had already arrived in front of Lei Jiaisi.

Just like All Baimu's previous judgment, a set of lightning-fast continuous punches were thrown out, and Lei Jiaisi was caught off guard and flew backward before it could manipulate the freezing air, hitting the cliff with a bang.

Rocks shattered and flew everywhere.

Looking at Urshifu again, only its golden claws were covered with a thin layer of frost.

Asahi couldn't wait to throw the Ultra Ball.

"Go!"

"Feels like playing the Gold and Silver version of chasing the Legendary Beasts..."

All Baimu on Hydreigon's back secretly complained.

Remember that in the Gold and Silver versions, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou would run away, and they would run around in the Johto region.

Causing players to have to chase their footsteps to catch them.

At that time, All Baimu was younger and didn't know how to check guides, so he foolishly didn't know how to inflict a status that prevented them from escaping, and just chased them stupidly.

Thinking about it now, heaven knows how much time was wasted.

He was silently recalling his childhood when Asahi in front shouted: "All Baimu! Come help me!"

"How to help?"

All Baimu quickly came back to his senses.

Asahi said: "You go to the other side to block Lei Jiaisi's retreat, and use Poké Balls to capture it with me, don't give it any time to catch its breath!"

This was the first time she had been so pestering a Pokémon; under normal circumstances, if she couldn't catch it after a dozen balls, she would only feel that they were not destined to be together and would wave goodbye and give up completely.

Lei Jiaisi was different.

This guy was an important existence in their pursuit of the origin of Pokémon; even if she wasn't very interested in Ice-type Pokémon, she hoped to catch this guy.

After the research was over, whether it was handed over to someone else to raise, or released back into nature, it was all fine.

"Okay!"

All Baimu nodded in agreement; if he didn't want to interfere with Asahi's task at will, he would have actually planned to try it himself long ago.

Dealing with Pokémon with such exceptionally stubborn resistance like Lei Jiaisi.

Ultra Balls and Heavy Balls weren't very effective.

Had to take the 【Timer Ball】.

He took out a Timer Ball and threw it the moment the Ultra Ball exploded, just seamlessly connecting with Lei Jiaisi as it poked its head out.

Having played through "Pokémon Legends: Arceus," he knew very well how to suppress a Pokémon's rising.

"Catch! Use this to capture it!"

All Baimu threw a few shrunken Timer Balls to Asahi.

Asahi exclaimed as she took them, saying: "That's it! Timer Ball! I should have prepared it long ago!"

While speaking.

The Timer Ball exploded.

Asahi suddenly pressed the enlargement button and threw it fiercely; Lei Jiaisi, which had just raised its hand to prepare to resist, immediately returned to the ball.

"Jiji-jiji—"

The distorted mechanical sound was just like a scream.

It was estimated that Lei Jiaisi was also very annoyed; it had finally broken free from the seal, only to be inexplicably beaten by a Pokémon, and then smashed around by a dozen Poké Balls.

"Laosi!"

Urshifu always maintained a defensive posture; it was too shameful to be escaped by Lei Jiaisi, and it didn't want to experience it a second time.

Hydreigon turned its three heads boredly to look at the coastline; the Sharpedo that had bypassed the underwater glacier gathered here, staring at the Poké Ball that kept shaking on the ground.

All Baimu thought for a moment and released Registeel to increase the probability of success.

Sure enough.

Lei Jiaisi, which had broken free from the Poké Ball again, "saw" Registeel, and the yellow cross dot matrix on its face lit up.

He took the opportunity to throw the ball, and the amplitude of Lei Jiaisi's struggle weakened significantly.

Seeing Registeel, Asahi basically understood why All Baimu appeared here—the other party had actually completed the task perfectly!

Really amazing!

She sighed in her heart and hurriedly threw the Timer Ball to connect with the one that had just exploded.

The result was this one, which successfully captured Lei Jiaisi, which had been fed a dozen Poké Balls.

Ding!

The stars jumped.

Asahi was stunned at first, then covered her chest and let out a long sigh, her whole person relaxing.

Finally captured successfully!

"Congratulations." All Baimu clapped vigorously.

With the Ice Giant Lei Jiaisi in hand, only the Rock Giant Regirock was left of the three Legendary Giants.

After Professor Cozmo finished his research and his attention was drawn to the super-strong psychic power detected on the island at the edge of the world, he should have just finished collecting all the Z-Crystals.

By then, running to the Crown Tundra to capture the Electric Giant and the Dragon Giant would mean his trip this time was complete.

He could start preparing for the Orre League Tournament.

All Baimu was satisfied with the schedule he had arranged one by one.

Asahi picked up the Timer Ball on the ground, thought for a while, and said: "All Baimu, although I threw the ball, the Timer Ball came from you. So if you are willing, after Professor Cozmo's research is over, you can take Lei Jiaisi away and realize your dream of becoming the world's strongest Trainer with it."

"Huh?"

His clapping paused, and he said in surprise: "You're not raising it? This is a Legendary Pokémon!"

"If it were Suicune, Tapu Fini, or other Water-type Pokémon, I might be more interested; if it's Ice-type..."

Asahi smiled reluctantly, with an attitude of being uninterested in other types.

Unlike Miss Lorelei, who was a noble Ice-type Elite Four but actually cultivated both Water and Ice, Asahi was a single-minded Water-type Pokémon party.

"I actually don't really..."

All Baimu looked at Registeel calmly.

At the very beginning, even the Steel Giant wasn't on his expected cultivation list; the Electric Giant and the Dragon Giant were his favorites.

Add another Ice Giant Lei Jiaisi?

He would likely just throw it to Mt. Silver and give up on raising it.

The two didn't tangle for too long on this matter that could be called Versailles; Asahi turned off the camera to contact Professor Cozmo and informed the other party that Lei Jiaisi had been successfully captured.

In the brief communication.

She learned the news that Regirock had escaped, which made her feel lingering fear.

If All Baimu hadn't appeared suddenly, she might have just given up directly; in that situation just now, Lei Jiaisi was indeed not easy to chase.

"Thanks, All Baimu!"

Asahi thanked him again.

"As long as you don't blame me for affecting your task." All Baimu smiled.

The two came to the coast where the Sharpedo school gathered.

Although there were no Pokéblocks, Asahi also used her own methods to avoid the ship being attacked by the Sharpedo school.

All Baimu thanked the leading Sharpedo, and Asahi, learning of his "transaction" with the Sharpedo, volunteered with Urshifu to help.

Not long after.

They returned to the small island cave surrounded by ice.

The two released their Pokémon respectively, using various moves to shatter the ice surface as much as possible, and the Sharpedo weren't idle either, biting with their sharp teeth.

"Let Lei Jiaisi out too." All Baimu said.

Asahi replied: "Legendary Pokémon like Lei Jiaisi shouldn't be obedient so easily, right?"

"Rest assured, it will be more obedient than you imagine."

He pointed to Registeel, who was like a guard behind him.

Only then did Asahi realize that Registeel hadn't been recalled into the Poké Ball by him and had been quietly staying by All Baimu's side from beginning to end.

Thus.

She released Lei Jiaisi.

Bang!

"Jiji-jiji!"

Lei Jiaisi appeared, and the cross dot matrix on its face flashed with yellow light.

The Sharpedo boiled up; they hadn't forgotten who their target was.

All Baimu hurriedly spoke to appease the Sharpedo and said to Lei Jiaisi: "Start de-icing!"

—No response.

"Looks like the person holding the Poké Ball has to give the order." He said helplessly to Asahi.

Asahi smiled and nodded, commanding Lei Jiaisi to work.

As expected.

Lei Jiaisi very obediently used Stomp to crush the ice surface, and then used Hyper Beam to blast the floating ice of various sizes into powder.

Registeel's de-icing method was exactly the same as it.

"Jiji-jiji—Lei! Ji! Ai!"

"Dudu-dudu—Lei! Ji! Si!"

The two Legendary Pokémon with strange calls worked enthusiastically, not even needing other Pokémon to help; their attribute energy seemed inexhaustible, and Hyper Beam blasted everywhere without stopping.

Perhaps this was also a characteristic of Legendary Pokémon?

The total amount of attribute energy was relatively large. ===== CHAPTER 762 =====
