The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Even the Blazing Turtle, which was lazily lying on the reef with only its tail in the seawater, managed to fish up an octopus bucket with its tail.

Kachi, however, remained the same as always, casting his line for ages but catching nothing.

Finally, they managed to catch a clam, but as soon as they pulled it up, the clam got its head stuck. Luckily, Mao's sweet and cold beauty kicked out again, shoving the clam back into the sea and freeing Kachi.

As for Ash and Lana, they walked on the sea surface using balloons blown up by Lana's Sprite, and gradually walked to a small, uninhabited island on the other side, where they were some distance from the others.

The two intended to cast their fishing rods here, but Ash could vaguely sense through his Aura that beneath the seemingly calm sea surface lay surging waves.

Soon, the changes on the sea surface confirmed Ash's premonition.

Just as Ash's fishing rod began to ripple, it was suddenly lifted upright by a huge wave, and an enormous whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface.

The fishing line in Lana's hand was already taut into a trembling silver arc, and the force coming from the end was something that no ordinary water-type Pokémon could possess.

The moment the waves receded, the sea level suddenly dropped, as if a giant beast was breathing in from the deep sea.

The next second, a deep blue body, as large as a mountain, burst out of the water, its huge pectoral fins spreading out and creating a misty spray, the white crystalline tips of the fins refracting a cold light in the sunlight.

It was none other than Kyogre, the ocean god from the Hoenn region.

"Kyogre! I've always wanted to meet you!"

As Lana's daily favorite Pokémon, seeing it in person now that her dream has come true, how could Lana not be incredibly excited?

However, Ash couldn't help but frown.

It's obvious that this Kyogre is extremely small.

Having seen the original Kyogre in person, this Kyogre in front of me is incredibly small, not to mention compared to the original Kyogre, it's also very small compared to a regular Kyogre.

It might be one of the baby Kyogres.

Moreover, not only was it small in size, but at this moment, the crimson stripes symbolizing power on Kyogre's deep blue body were tinged with an eerie dark purple.

It transforms into a pattern of alternating red and purple light; someone unfamiliar with it might mistake it for some extremely rare Kyogre.

Moreover, its yellow pupils were filled with a frenzied and malevolent aura.

Its deep roar shook the sea to its core, and its four split tail sections pounded the surface of the sea, creating walls of waves large enough to swallow small boats.

Ash's first thought was that this guy must have been poisoned.

But what kind of being could possibly poison Kyogre, the mighty god of the sea?

Ash's mind raced through a long list of Water-type Pokémon names, but none of them possessed this ability.

Just then, a submarine that surfaced alongside Kyogre answered Ash's question.

It was a submarine shaped like a sharp-toothed fish. After it surfaced, the hatch on the submarine opened, and a burly, bald man wearing only swimming trunks but full diving equipment crawled out of the submarine and stood on it.

Two young men with a flamboyant, punk-like style, who looked like his underlings, also came out of the submarine.

"You two better not get in the way. We finally managed to corner it."

After the man in the lead finished speaking, he threw out a Poké Ball and released a King Toad.

The two henchmen each released a blue toad, and then each held up a stun gun, pointing the muzzle at Kyogre.

The moment Ash saw them, his years of experience fighting against evil organizations told him that the group in front of him must be Pokémon hunters.

“But Geokata looks so haggard,” Water Lily said.

"It's been poisoned, and the culprit is definitely this group of people," Xiao Zhi said.

Upon hearing this, Shui Lian actually took out her folding fishing rod, tied the bait containing detoxifying properties to the hook, and with a strong jerk, cast the fishing rod in front of Georka.

Upon seeing Shui Lian's actions, the bald man burst into laughter, pointing at her with utter disdain and mocking her.

"Hahaha, what are you doing, little girl? You're not trying to fish for it, are you? What a waste of effort!"

"You two, intensify the net-pulling! Pull the net in! Pull the Kyogre right onto the boat!"

"Yes."x2

The two henchmen responded, and immediately two streams of electricity shot from the muzzles of their stun guns, intertwining to form a huge golden electric net that trapped Kyogre inside.

The tingling electric current had a remarkable effect on Georka, causing it to let out a scream.

Seeing that he had almost defeated Kyogre, the legendary Pokémon that created the ocean, the bald man was extremely smug.

"Hahaha, very good!"

"When faced with a shrewd and capable Pokémon hunter like me, even legendary Pokémon are nothing special."

“These people are indeed Pokémon hunters!” Lana exclaimed.

Although she remained silent, her expression had turned cold. She gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, staring intently at Kyogre, and slowly walked towards Kyogre, bringing the antidote attached to the bait closer and closer to Kyogre's mouth.

This action greatly displeased the bald man.

"I told you not to get in my way, but you still insist on getting in my way, don't you? You'll regret it if you make me angry. Kill them."

"Yes."x2

"Blue Toad, use Mud Shot!"

"Blue Toad, unleash the water cannon!"

"Toad King, unleash the Sludge Bomb!"

At the command of the three, three attacks immediately rushed towards Shui Lian.

Nagisa and the Flowery Sea Lion immediately stepped in to protect Lily, using High Speed ​​Star and Bubble Ray respectively to block the three attacks.

Ash knows that catching Kyogre has always been Lana's dream, and now she is not only working towards her own dream, but also striving to save Kyogre.

As her partner, Ash only has one thing to do right now—to protect her.

"Rollingwood, Meltan, it's you two I've decided on. Get ready to fight."

Ash took off his backpack and released Rowlet and Meltan, who were sleeping inside.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail to cut the electric net trapping Kyogre!"

Rowlet, airdrop the Meltan there.

"Don't let them succeed, Toad King, unleash your True Qi Blast!"

The Electric-type Pikachu was completely unaffected by the electric grid and leaped above Kyogre in the blink of an eye, then descended from the sky.
