Chapter 164 Terrifying and Bizarre Methods
The rudder that controlled the entire submarine underwent an inexplicable change.
This left Ah Quan completely bewildered and uncertain.
She couldn't figure out what was going on, and she couldn't understand it either.
"Beep, even if inexplicable changes occur, you still..." Ah Quan looked at Di, who was raising his hands in a 'French military salute,' and drank.
"There's no need to be so scared!"
"What happened to your previous 'bold words'?!"
To avoid upsetting Di, A-Quan even described the "arrogant words" as "bold and ambitious statements."
Ke Di's hands were still trembling and twitching.
He roared in a trembling voice, "I was electrocuted!"
"This, this steering wheel is generating electricity! Even when my hand is away, it's still constantly affecting me! My hand, my hand—" The beeping voice was filled with terror, "It's completely out of my control now!"
Ah Quan immediately realized that the new appearance of this cabin was a sign that they didn't want them to continue operating the submarine.
She still couldn't figure out why this had happened.
The journey had been peaceful and uneventful the whole way.
And given the arrogant words they just said, their situation was absolutely foolproof, so how could they have encountered such an unexpected event?
But no matter what, Ah Quan understood that he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Ah Quan roared, "Change into insulated gloves!"
Di also roared, "How can I switch places in my current situation? You drive!"
"Damn it!" Ah Quan looked anxious. Relying on his memory, he found an insulated glove inside the Sea Abyss No. 1 and was about to step forward to forcibly control the rudder when...
At this moment, the "polygon"-shaped rudder suddenly moved—it jerked the direction sharply, causing the entire Abyss One to flip almost 180 degrees, and A-Quan also fell to his knees, unable to maintain his balance.
But with amazing perseverance, Ah Quan managed to grab the rudder despite his unbalanced body.
But at that moment, the entire Haiyuan-1 emitted another "Yu" sound.
This is the sound of the entire submarine starting up again.
But this start was not controlled by A-Quan.
"Damn it!" Ah Quan gripped the helm tightly, gritting his teeth, "I can't change direction at all!"
She felt that the turning of the ship's rudder was as unshakeable as a steel beast—no matter how much force she exerted, she could not change the direction in the slightest.
She could only helplessly watch as the ship's rudder steered the Ocean Abyss No. 1, taking them to a place she didn't know, but which she imagined was not pleasant.
"Contact! Contact Boss Shui Wutong!" In this emergency, A-Quan suddenly roared, "We're near the base, contact the boss quickly and get reinforcements! This is our only way to survive!"
But as soon as she uttered those words...
Then, another "Yu" was heard, and all the signal lights inside Haiyuan-1 dimmed.
A-Quan realized: this was the method by which Haiyuan-1 shielded itself from external signal detection, becoming an "invisible" submarine. This method of shielding itself from external signal detection prevented external signals from entering, and naturally—
The signal inside, too...
can not go out.
Then the "only way to be saved" that she just proposed will no longer be feasible.
Ah Quan felt his head also go "Yu" in surprise.
Her grip on the cabin loosened involuntarily, causing her body to sway with the movement of the Haiyuan No. 1, and she collapsed to the ground, not knowing how long the journey had lasted.
The interior of the submarine was pitch black.
All signals were shut down, and the display screen that A-Quan used to observe the outside world went dark and flickered with an unknown current. A silent atmosphere filled the entire Haiyuan No. 1.
The tense and heavy breathing of the several people inside the submarine, along with the faint sound of the water flowing rapidly, constantly reached A-Quan's ears.
Like being slowly cut by a dull knife, Ah Quan felt that time was passing very painfully.
Suddenly, the spaceship shook.
A-Quan realized that the sound of flowing water was gradually fading away.
This indicates that the destination has been reached.
With a sharp "click," the hatch above the submarine opened, and bright, intense sunlight suddenly streamed in. As if the blazing sun were about to blind them, the members of the Ocean Team, who were used to the darkness inside the Abyss One, found their vision filled with a blinding white light.
"I hereby declare: You are now under control."
"Don't move, don't resist. But if you insist, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be. Believe me, you probably don't want to accept this."
A voice came from the hatch above.
Ah Quan subconsciously squinted, trying to look up.
But Di had already roared in fury: "Why...why do you do this! You took our submarine away, where did you take us! Let me tell you, I've been holding back for a long time!"
"Cherry blossom fish, water jet! I'm going to make you..."
In fact, the moment he uttered the words "Why should I?", he had already released the cherry blossom fish he was tightly holding. His subsequent angry words were merely an attempt to distract the other party.
Of course, it's also possible that it was an outlet for anger.
Suddenly, a loud "pali" sound came from the cherry blossom fish.
A pinkish-white, eel-like cherry blossom fish burst out of the submarine, aiming its sharp, purple snout at the direction of the sound, and surged forward at an incredible speed, carrying the current of water with it!
The cherry blossom fish in this game has the "Easy Swim" trait, which greatly increases its speed when it rains.
However, Chlorophytum is a Pokémon with a naturally low Speed stat, only slightly over 50. The fact that Dizzy uses this slow Pokémon as a "striker" speaks volumes about its strengths.
Under the training of dripping water, the cherry fish can trigger the "Swimming Freely" skill as soon as it touches a tiny bit of water, and can use this speed boost to deliver an incredible attack!
Like... an insect-type move: a head-on strike.
This is the result of his training, which he has put his thoughts and considerations into as a trainer, and he can be proud of it.
It was also a display of confidence that led to the initial "sneak attack" despite not fully understanding the situation.
In this situation, no matter how vigilant or powerful the trainer who made the sound is, he will definitely be caught off guard and controlled by the Sakurafish as it attacks him "himself".
After all, for these "idealists" who "do whatever it takes to achieve their beliefs," this is a different story.
Attacking the trainer is an instinctive and effective method, however:
The cherry fish burst out of the submarine with great speed, but there was no expected commotion—not the trainer's groan of pain, or any loud collision sound.
It actually appears "quiet".
Or rather, it was as silent as a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Just like this cherry blossom fish...
It's as if they were never even dispatched!
This made Di tighten his grip on the Sharpedo Poké Ball he was holding at his waist, and he looked up at the sky with suspicion. He had originally planned to release Sharpedo, his other trump card, after his Sakura had achieved its goal, and press his advantage.
But this situation left him somewhat bewildered and hesitant.
However, in that moment of hesitation, he suddenly felt that his hand, which was tightly gripping the Sharpedo Poké Ball, seemed... to be getting colder and colder?!
He looked down.
Strands of ice crystals condensed in his hand. At first glance, he only saw a few ice crystals, but after a moment of stunned silence, his hand, along with the Sharpedo's Poké Ball, was covered and frozen by a thick layer of ice.
"This..." was extremely surprising.
He kept trying to exert force with his hand, which had been scalded by the electric current.
But to his despair, he discovered that the ice had "stuck" his hand to the Poké Ball.
However, his ace Pokémon, Sharpedo, was frozen by the ice on its Poké Ball and could not be summoned.
His eyes widened, and cold sweat poured down his face.
His hands were also frozen and turned pale.
At this moment, above is the hatch of the submarine.
The voice remained unchanged, its tone the same as always: "It seems this Marine Team officer doesn't intend to surrender easily."
Then we'll just have to go through a bit more trouble.
The word "trouble" came through.
Di felt a chill not only in his hands, but also throughout his body. No, it wasn't just a chill; Di looked down...
This is solid ice, gradually spreading throughout his entire body!
It made Di feel as if her body was entering the countdown to ALS.
Five seconds... four seconds... three seconds...
Before "two seconds" had even passed, the ice had already seeped into his neck.
A deep, indescribable fear welled up in Di's heart. With difficulty, she turned her head to look at A-Quan, whose eyes were also filled with disbelief. She opened her mouth and made "ah ah" sounds, trying to ask for help.
Even now, Di still hasn't seen the "culprit" who "played" him into such a sorry state.
He didn't even know the condition of his cherry blossom fish.
Two seconds.
The ice had already seeped into the lower half of Di's face.
But then a "thump" was heard, and a pink ice cube was thrown into the submarine, hitting the bottom and making a sound that attracted Di's attention. His eyes darted around, and he saw that it was not a "pink ice cube", but an "ice cube with cherry blossom fish frozen inside".
One second...
The ice was completely frozen.
Di also followed in the footsteps of his cherry blossom fish.
The dripping "ice sculpture" remained in a terrified state.
This horrific scene made the members of the Ocean Team, including A-Quan, on the Abyss No. 1 too afraid to make a move. No, it would be more accurate to say they were terrified and too scared to move.
"This..." A-Quan gritted his teeth in horror.
This method is truly terrifying and bizarre.
Is the other party really from the alliance?!
If the other party were to say that they were the leader of some "evil organization," Ah Quan wouldn't have the slightest doubt!
"Now you'd better surrender, wouldn't you?" the voice continued. "Why aren't you getting out of my submarine right now?"
"We...we..." Ah Quan immediately gritted his teeth and said, "We are willing to obey your arrangements!"
Next, following the instructions of the "words," except for Didi who was frozen into an ice cube, the rest of the ocean team members inside the Abyss One lined up and orderly carried their heads out of the submarine, facing the blinding sunlight shining in.
And Ah Quan finally saw the face of the person who spoke.
A man who could be considered handsome.
A snow fairy leaned affectionately against him. Could it be that the terrifying and cunning "ice" from earlier was created by this snow fairy?
A-Quan was startled and quickly lowered his head obediently.
Ze Shu noticed her: "Are you also a member of the Marine Team?"
Ah Quan lowered his head and said meekly:
"Yes, yes. Our oceanographic team is a marine conservation organization, and the ocean needs our protection. Now that we've come out of your submarine, can you please let us go?"
Ze Shu simply said, "Open robbery, this isn't the kind of organization that protects the ocean."
He suddenly tossed this to A-Quan and said, "Put this on and go back to my submarine."
Ah Quan was confused.
But she knew she had no say or ability to resist—because when Didi started to be "frozen," the Poké Balls on the waists of the Team Marine members inside the submarine were also completely frozen and could not be released at all.
So she obediently put on the gloves, returned to the Abyss No. 1, and "sat" with the ice sculpture of Di.
"W-W-W-W!" Mikuri gasped, still reeling from the situation. "Sawaki, your 'method'...this is why Daigo relies on you!"
He was also shocked and looked at Ze Shu with surprise.
Everything that just happened was orchestrated by Ze Shu, and his role was merely to be a tool to initially send the Polygons into the submarine and stir up the seawater.
"Ze Shu, your actions are truly like those of an anti-hero in a heroic ballet, using evil and bizarre methods to maintain justice!"
Mikoli used an exaggerated, chanting tone.
Ze Shu said without any politeness:
"What nonsense are you spouting? My Snow Fairy is neither evil nor eerie!"
The snow fairy, who was holding hands with Ze Shu affectionately beside him, made a "mimi" sound and happily nodded in agreement.
The freezing droplet used to deal with the cherry blossom fish and the people inside the submarine was the work of the Snow Fairy.
Having been tempered by the "Kikuko experience," the Snow Fairy's "ghost" characteristics are now more prominent, coupled with her "low-presence talent" that even Kikuko praised.
This makes it seem even more...
Mysterious and unpredictable.
For example, when the Snow Fairy froze enemies before, they would at least see a white shadow appear and hear the Snow Fairy's eerie wail. But now,
Until he was completely frozen, he never realized or discovered the Snow Fairy.
Well, even Zeshu has difficulty finding the Snow Fairy now.
Moreover, under the radiation of the Ice Pillar Slab of Glaceon and the nurturing of the Iceberg Crystal, Froslass's ability regarding "ice" is constantly improving, and has now reached a level that cannot be ignored.
That's why I was able to put on such a mysterious and terrifying "performance" that terrified the members of Team Aqua just now.
"Sorry, sorry..." Mikuri said with a smile, "But now that Daigo has found the Sea Abyss One that he needed, let's move on..."
Ze Shu said, "Get on the submarine."
Mikoli: "Does this mean we have to..."
Ze Shu said, "To avoid alerting them, we let this Marine Team base go earlier. But now that we have the Abyss One, it's natural to destroy this evil Marine Team base, which is plotting something unknown. Isn't that right?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the core data that Daigo specially provided for my Polygonmon?"
In order to save the submarine, Devon Corporation did not hesitate to provide the core and data belonging to Abyss One to Ze Shu's polygonal beast, allowing the polygonal beast to absorb them.
That's why the Polygon was able to take over the Abyss One so quickly and completely.
