Chapter 48: A Cruise to remember

Kaede was on a secluded sea less than 100 meters away from the Vermilion City harbor pier. He was sitting on a Lapras, and fishing with a trendy fishing rod.

This fishing rod was bought by him from a nearby fishing shop for 25000 Poke Dollar(P$). According to Boss, this fishing rod is the best-selling new fishing rod in recent years, and it is very suitable for fishing.

However, it is not clear whether it is Kaede's bad luck or bad bait, or his fishing skills are really bad. It has been more than half an hour since he was fishing here. In addition to some ordinary marine fish, he has not even caught a single water Pokemon.

After a while, the buoy in front of Kaede suddenly sank, which made him feel happy. Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, fish finally came again.

"Its a strong pull, maybe it will be a Pokémon this time."

After some tug and pull, and the built in small shock mechanism in the rod Kaede was able to pull the fish out of the water.

Kaede saw clearly that he had caught the Pokémon for the first time since he was fishing here. The fish had red scales, and it had a golden crown on his head. Of course it was the most common water type pokemon in kanto A Magicarp.

However, this Magikarp is quite large, with a body length of at least 1.2 meters.

After seeing that the creature he caught was a Magikarp, Kaede had a blue glow in his eyes, and instantly looked at Magikarp's information.

Magikarp information is as follows:

Pokémon: Magikarp

Level: LV16

Attribute: water

Characteristic Trait: Swift swim

Gender: Female

Ability: Splash, Tackle.

It was nothing too special. Kaede knows that out of 1000 Magicarp found in the wild only 1 might be able to evolve into a Gyrados. It was too big of a gamble so Kaede decided to throw it back into the ocean.

After some more unsuccessful fishing in which he only caught some normal fishes and another Magicarp. Time unconsciously flew by and now it was 12 o' clock and some fog appeared in the ocean.

Alittle while after the fog thickened and Kaede started feeling uneasy. At this time Golbat suddenly turned to a direction indicating that something or someone was coming there way.

After a while, a special small yacht with sails appeared in Kaede's field of vision, and a gray-haired old man was sitting on the small yacht with a Pelipper beside him.

"Youngster, why are you still here? It's foggy and dark on the sea. Let's leave with me. It's already dangerous."

The white-haired old man who was driving a small yacht saw Kaede, and while continuing to move forward, he shouted anxiously at him.

"Senior, what's going on? Isn't it normal for the sea to get foggy?"

After returning to the pier, Kaede asked the white-haired old man who was binding the small yacht to the pier with twine, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Oh~, you're a foreigner. It's normal if you don't know it. This was really normal before, but it hasn't been normal in recent years. There are cannibal monsters in the fog. Fortunately, I will return at 12 o'clock here at the pier, otherwise, there is a danger of being attacked by monsters."

"Monster? It should be some kind of Pokémon, doesn't it matter to Alliance? For this kind of evil Pokémon, after you report it, Alliance should send someone to solve it soon."

Kaede shook his head slightly and said, as a Trainer, he naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense of monsters.

"I reported it a dozen times. Even the previous Vermilion City Gym Trainer went, but everyone eho went with him never returned. Finally, even Elite 4 Lorelei, came, although she successfully returned However, this weird thing was not solved. Over time, no one dares to take care of this weird thing, so now everyone dare not go out fishing at night when the sea is foggy."

"It seems that everyone in Vermilion City knows about the monster in the mist. In order to avoid the monster's attack, they all avoided the part of the pier near the sea. Thank you Old man you might have saved my life."

Walking back on the very deserted dock at this time, Kaede thought secretly in his heart and thanked the kind old man.

Not long after Kaede left, two people wearing Black Dive suits suddenly emerged from the sea, and under them was Sharpedo with scarlet eyes.

It seems that Kaede had been aware of them due to his Golbat thats why he left hurriedly, and the two black clothed persons took out a light stick from their bodies and threw them into the water.

In a short while, a huge Tentacruel emerged from the center of the whirlpool. On top of his head was also a person wearing a Black Dive suit. At the same time, a huge wooden box surfaced with them.

After seeing two people riding Sharpedo he nodded to them, the person on Tentacruel's slightly patted the Tentacruel under him with his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the two red agate crystals on the top of the Tentacruel suddenly emitted a burst of red light, and soon, more whirlpool appeared on the nearby sea.

In these vortexes, heads of Tentacruel and people wearing Black Dive suits began to surface, and the many tentacles under these Tentacruels were also wrapped around a huge wooden box.

And on the surface of these wooden boxes, a large "R" letter is precisely on it.

Soon after, more than 20 tall sailors in sailor suits also walked out of the part of the pier that had been covered by the fog, led by a bald man in the uniform of a sailor captain.

This mystery of cannibalistic monster was actually Team Rocket in disguise. Fortunately Kaede had unknowingly saved himself deciding not to interfere with this matter.

Kaede unaware of this made his way to buy some items or TMs for his Pokemon since he couldn't find a Water type Pokemon he decided to let nature take its course if he could he'll eventually find it. While browsing through the market he was able to find a Miracle seed for Bellosome, and decided this was enough for now. He needed to take a rest for tomorrow cruise.

A little over 6 o'clock in the morning at Vermilion City Pier, along with the huge whistle of the ship sailing, a huge cruise ship shaped like Titanic began to move slowly. Under the gaze of some passengers and sailors who were still waiting for the ship to sail, it sailed out of the pier and went to the distance in the direction of the rising sun on the sea gradually sailed away.

Watching the Vermillion city fade away from the dock of the ship Kaede heaved a sigh of releif. After some inquiry he came to know that this ship will port at Lily cove City in Hoenn region 2 days from now.

The boarding process went smoothly. After Kaede took out the golden SS Ticket, the reception staff quickly took out a beautifully crafted key, and told him that as long as he had this key, he could get the ship's services for free.

Afterwards, under the guidance of an enthusiastic sailor, Kaede went smoothly to the Top Rank residential area on the ship, and then followed the number on the key to a matching room.

"Many thanks, Mr. Sailor, this is your tip."

After Kaede entered the room, he took out a 1000 P$ banknote from his body and handed it to the sailor with a smile on his face.

"Many thanks to the generosity of Mr., I wish you a pleasant journey."

Entering his room Kaede brought out his Pokemon."Everyone, come out, we are on the ship, let's take a look at the sea together."

Looking at the spacious room in front of him, Kaede showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then opened the 5 Pokéballs on the his belt one after another, releasing all the 5 Pokémon inside.

Golbat, Nidoran♂, Bellossom, Growlithe and Ditto are obviously the first time to take a boat to look at the scenery on the sea. At this time, everyone are excited, and they are talking and laughing. Enjoying the cruise.

At this time, Kaede's five Pokémons had finished their sight seeing and breakfast and were having fun in the living room of the room. Among them, Growlithe, Nidoran♂ and Ditto as Aipom were the main trouble makers. The three of them have now made a mess of the neatly arranged living room.

As for Golbat, he is now quietly hanging upside down on the roof, using the ultrasound waves that are constantly released from his mouth to monitor everything around him. As the team leader's big brother, he has developed this kind of responsibility.

Bellossom, on the other hand, is like a sleeping beauty, lying quietly on a sofa, holding a dark-green seed in her arms, covered with a layer of green light all over his body.

Since Kaede brought the Miracle Seed, a Grass Type treasure, he has given this treasure to Bellossom, and the Miracle Seed is even better for Bellossom than Kaede imagined.

Even him, an ordinary person, can clearly feel that there is a powerful energy inside when holding the miracle seed in his hand, and Life Aura is very rich.

When Bellossom came into contact with the miracle seed, a magical scene appeared, as if like a resonance, the huge Grass Type energy was released from the miracle seed.

And Bellossom at this time is like a bottomless pit, absorbing the Grass Type energy overflowing from the miracle seed into her body. This process is very similar to the scene when Bellossom evolved.

This magical process lasted 5-10 minutes before it was over. At the end, Bellossom's body seemed to have gained some great benefits, her body color became more vivid, a faint green light from her body surface lights up from time to time at the same time Bellosome ability to manipulate Grass type energy has significantly improved. After breakfast it was time for training which went very good as all the Pokemon showed good improvements.

The SS Anne is a huge ship that has all the privileges a trainer would want. A pokemon Center a Pokemon trainer Field and even a battle arena.

After a short break after finishing physical training, Kaede came to the Pokémon battle area of ​​the Ship. Trainer's task was to improve Pokémon's strength, and Pokémon battle was undoubtedly a shortcut to the success of improving its strength.

The time has come to nearly 11 o'clock but the Pokémon battlefield is still in a hot state, and bursts of Ability collision sounds one after another in this area.

There are only 10 battlefields in the Pokémon battlefield, 2 free and 8 for a fee. Now, Pokémon battles are taking place on the 10 battlefields, and there are a large number of Trainers and ordinary spectators waiting to fight on the edge of the battlefield. Its like a battle royale you win you stay in the ring while the loser vacate the arena.

At time time both Golbat and Bellosome has reached level 29 and level 30 seems to be a dividing line as its taking to much time for them to level up. But Nidoran♂ and Growlithe are still pretty low level at Level 14 and 16 respectively. So now Kaede decided to let them have a battle.

At thim time Kaede was watching two civilian trainer with Pidgey and Spearow battle each other and after a good fight Spearow managed to overpower the Pidgey thus winning the battle.

"Who else wants to play against me? I still have 2 Pokémon in good condition. I have two more Pokémon matches. There is no problem at all. Of course, according to the old rules, everyone who comes forward to challenge must comply with the gambling contract, 1000 Alliance coins per round."

After taking back his Spearow, Bruce the trainer took his winnings from the loser. it was his 3rd consecutive win and feeling confident in himself he issued the challenge. But listening him say thsi many civilians put a down cast look as Bruce was on a winning streak and still having two more Pokemons in tip condition no one was eager to fight him.

"Why, I have commanded Pokémon for 3 consecutive battles. Don't you dare to fight me, a person whose fighting style you already have seen? What a waste of money."

Seeing that the edge of the battlefield hasn't stood up for a long time to challenge, Bruce said with a fierce face.

"I'll fight you, but the format of the battle is 2 vs. 2. Of course, since it is a 2 battle, the bet has to be increased to 2000 Alliance coins. Will you accept my challenge?"

At this time, Kaede stood out from the crowd, and said calmly to Bruce.

"Of course, come, you know the rules, as a challenger, you have to release Pokémon first for the challenge."

Seeing Kaede stand out from the crowd and say the words just now, Bruce's eyes lit up, and then said confidently as he hadn't even used his trump cards in the previous battles as these trainer werent up to match.

And judging from Kaede's clothes and temperament, it is not difficult for Bruce to see that He is also a civilian Trainer. He has never been afraid of a Pokémon battle with a civilian Trainer, and he is full of confidence.

"No problem, come out, Nidoran♂, i choose you, this is your First Pokémon battle lets some them who's the boss."

Kaede hearing this nodded, after walking to the other end of the battle field, he quickly took out a Pokéball from his waist, and then released Nidoran♂ inside.

In the next second, a very well-developed Nidoran♂ appeared on the battlefield, and it roared hearing his trainers words showing a strong fighting spirit.

"This is a Nidoran♂? Oh my god, this, its development is too great."

Seeing that Kaede unexpectedly released Nidoran♂ to challenge, Bruce's small eyes not only instantly widdened, but also showed a hint of surprise on his face. He was very surprised because he found that Kaede's Nidoran♂ had grown too well.

"Interesting, it looks like this guy is very good breeder too. That's all right, go, Nidorino, teach your junior."

After carefully observing the situation of Nidoran♂, Bruce compared the Nidoran♂ that he used to raise in his mind. He couldn't help but feel jealous. Then he quickly took out a Pokéball and released his Pokemon.
