Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 77 Black Tide? Odomare's Past?!

"Bo-hoo?" (How are you...?)

This wild and untamed "Suiki" is none other than Ripple.

At this moment, it still thought that the submarine in front of it would, like before, send out a bunch of humans in R-shaped uniforms to gang up on it from the small hole.

But Bo Dang Shui noticed that the human who came out of the "cave" did not make a move, and at the same time, the aura emanating from him gave him a sense of familiarity.

Ok……

Let's see how things go first.

This shows that Li Luochen's "Dragon-Controlling Power" has been activated.

Seeing this, Li Luochen also landed on the water to check the situation.

thump...

Li Luochen landed on the ground, and ripples spread across the water beneath his feet, but he didn't feel any sinking.

It's like stepping on the surface of a dance machine, giving you a strange feeling.

However, it's better to build a good relationship with Bodangshui first.

Thinking of this, Li Luochen walked up to Bo Dangshui, holding a tree fruit in his hand, and handed it to her: "Hey, eat it, don't be shy."

Bo Dang Shui hesitated, wondering whether to eat the tree fruit that Li Luo Chen offered.

At this time.

"Roar!" (I'm stuck, can anyone help me?)

Li Luochen turned his head and saw that Gyarados was stuck at the entrance of the passage, unable to get in or out.

Seeing this, he threw a Poké Ball over and captured Gyarados.

Gyarados then burst through the Poké Ball, regaining its freedom.

"Boohoo?" (Hey bro, what brings you back?)

Bodang blinked its eyes and began to communicate amicably with Gyarados.

"Roar." (I'm here to help you out. A bunch of bastards in R-sign uniforms have recently entered the secret realm, and it's going to be difficult for you, a dragon, to deal with them. That's why I called my benefactor here, just in case you can't drive them out.)

Gyarados scanned its surroundings but found no trace of Team Rocket.

"Roar?" (That's strange, where did those guys go?)

Upon hearing this, Bo Dangshui's eyes flashed with anger, and his golden eyes were instantly filled with an unnamed fire.

Boom!

Its forked tail slammed into the water, startling Goldeen, Horsea, and other Pokémon swimming below, causing them to scatter in all directions.

Li Luochen raised an eyebrow and listened intently to what Bo Dangshui would say next.

"Pooh!" (Those guys took advantage of the rainy season and drove their Steel Fish down below. I have a reason to stay up here and block their exit.)

Listening to the words of Bodangshui, Li Luochen extracted useful information.

"Rippling water, what's the meaning of this rainy season?"

"Whoosh!" (During the special rainy season in this secret realm, once it rains, the surface of the water here will merge with the water below. Although I can move in the water, I still can't catch them. So, I choose to wait and wait.)

Due to the overwhelming number of enemies and the inherent characteristics of the turbulent waters, it chose to stay nearby and block the evacuation point.

This is how their brainwaves matched up with Li Luochen's.

He was also thinking of finding an opportunity to ambush the Rockets' exit point and catch them off guard.

When is the next rainy season?

"Poho!" (Three...)

"Three days?"

"Poho!" (21...)

Li Luochen: ? ? ?

So it's a countdown?!

As the countdown on the rippling water reached zero, the once clear sky was suddenly swallowed up by leaden gray clouds.

A fierce wind whipped up large raindrops that poured down, instantly engulfing the entire world in the howling storm.

The water beneath my feet began to soften, becoming bouncy and jelly-like.

Li Luochen looked at the submarine and discovered that Piper and N had actually jumped out.

Almost instantly, Li Luochen came up with a brilliant plan.

He closed his eyes and communicated with Cattleya via in-game voice chat:

"Bao, you, Mingyi, and Kanon stay in the submarine. Pipa, N, and I will ride our respective Pokémon underwater to catch up with Team Rocket."

"At that time, they will most likely consider you as teammates. Then, we can attack them from both sides and wipe them out. If they show any tendency to launch an attack on you, then we should stop pretending and focus on flexibility."

"Okay, I know. Be careful, Bao. Your Pokémon isn't suited for water combat, so be careful not to get ganged up on."

Gadriya was somewhat worried, but this was no time to be trifled with, and she couldn't think of a more comprehensive solution, so she could only leave a superpower as a backup plan for Li Luochen.

……

……

Deep within a secret realm, in a narrow crevice, inside a Magikarp submarine.

"Hehehe, Captain, the harvest from this secret realm exploration was quite good. After we hand over the resources to headquarters, you'll definitely be promoted to officer this time."

Team Rocket's squad leader, Kenji Sato, congratulated his superior, Captain Tetsuya Tanaka.

"Shh, don't make a fuss until everything is settled."

Tetsuya Tanaka got up from the leather seat. Ever since entering the secret realm, he had felt a sense of unease.

Perhaps the best time to escape is within the first hour after entering the secret realm...

There's no going back now.

Tetsuya Tanaka stroked the head of a blue jellyfish, then looked at Kenji Sato and asked, "How's the search for that abandoned ship going? Have you found any useful information?"

"Reporting to the captain, the ship has been dated to the Kuroshio Incident that occurred a hundred years ago in Odomare. It was a ship sent out to seek rescue. There's a hidden door that I can't open. There's a groove in the middle, and I've tried many times, but it hasn't worked."

Kenji Sato walked to the control panel and projected several photos onto the screen.

The photo shows a door.

In the center of the door was a square groove.

"There must be an antidote within three steps. Haven't you looked for it nearby?"

Tanaka Tetsuya frowned, his tone slightly questioning.

"No, I personally searched the entire ship for two days, turning it inside out, but I couldn't find the corresponding item. But..."

"But what? Don't beat around the bush, just say it."

Tetsuya Tanaka dislikes two types of people the most: those who only say half of what they mean, and those who stop talking altogether because they have important business to attend to.

"There are obvious spatial fluctuations in that area, as if the secret realm was torn open by external force."

Kenji Sato proposed a hypothesis: "Captain, do you think it's possible that the essential item was taken away at that time? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."

"Baka!"

Tanaka Tetsuya angrily retorted, "Are you an idiot? Such a low-probability event usually only occurs in high-intensity secret realms. A secret realm where the strongest are only elite-level, not even at the dojo level, yet spatial fluctuations occur? Sato, I think you're just making excuses for your mistake!"

"I……"

Kenji Sato was about to speak up and explain.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"This is terrible! Three League Trainers are heading straight for our submarine!"
