On the Blood Red Werewolf, Black Spring sat with an umbrella, legs crossed, watching "Bloody Henry" lead a large group of underlings in a boarding battle with the sailors on the Saint Anus.
She simply watched silently, without participating.
Her identity was a member of the so-called "Black King" pirate alliance.
Lurking on the Saint Anus to act as an internal agent.
Because not long ago, "Black King Black Tide" reached some kind of agreement with "Bloody Henry," targeting the Saint Anus.
But an accident occurred, and the agreed cooperation was not fully realized, and "Bloody Henry" obviously premeditatedly made a move earlier.
After all, among pirates, there is no trust, only interest and intrigue.
Even though "Black King" and "Star of Blood" seem to have a big gap.
Nevertheless, the sea is so vast that if one truly wants to hide, it's difficult to find them, so Henry had nothing to fear.
This did not surprise her.
What slightly surprised her was that Henry also arranged people on the Saint Anus.
Not passengers, but three sailors.
"No wonder 'Bloody Henry' can pinpoint the location of the 'Saint Anus' so accurately. He does indeed have a bit of brains, not just a mere reckless brute."
The boarding battle had already started.
Black Spring glanced at the two people nominally guarding the deck, but were actually watching her from a distance.
She chuckled softly, unconcerned.
The defection of the three sailors brought a significant impact to the sailor camp on the Saint Anus. Their sudden betrayal not only took the lives of three other sailors but also caused panic among the remaining ones, leading to distrust among comrades.
No one knew whether there was a "companion" beside them who might suddenly betray and stab them in the back.
The fierce Water-type Pokémon lured around the cruise ship also added pressure to these sailors.
This undoubtedly intensified the arrogance of the "Star of Blood" side.
Under Henry's leadership, the sailors on the Saint Anus retreated step by step.
"If the Saint Anus were so easily captured, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths..." Black Spring murmured.
Indeed.
Just as she finished speaking, the ship captain Lieutenant Colonel Cole led a group of ship officers to the deck.
The appearance of the backbone gradually stabilized the panicked sailors' emotions and state, and the counterattack belonging to the Saint Anus began.
Black Spring slowly lowered the umbrella, her gaze passing through the lace gaps hanging from the edge, watching the bloody scene unfolding on the deck of the Saint Anus.
Henry faced Lieutenant Colonel Cole, and it wasn't easy for the two to decide a victory between them.
Black Spring's gaze swept over the deck, "This is just the ship's basic combat power. Henry, how are you planning to handle the few in the first-class cabin?"
She seemed to be looking for something.
Unfortunately, she didn't see what she was searching for.
"Black Spring is right, letting Henry test the hidden power on the Saint Anus first is also a good choice..."
Henry attempted to eat his fill before the "Black King" alliance, whereas they were also trying to use Henry to probe the truth of the Saint Anus.
But the previous group of Sharpedo and Carvanha was only suitable for probing ordinary ships, clearly not enough to understand the defenses on the Saint Anus.
...
...
In a distant sea area.
A gigantic wooden sailing ship was riding the waves.
On the bow.
Stood a figure with hair tied into a red bud at the back of the head, red long hair draped over the shoulders, a slender blue veil half covering her fair long legs, displaying her curvaceous figure to the fullest.
Her exquisite oval face flawless like jade, eyes resembling peach blossoms in autumn water, pink delicate lips like red cherries, with a perfectly placed beauty mark at the corner of her mouth.
Hands crossed over her chest, accentuating the curves and visual impact.
One of the alliance's Five Stars, Charming Star, Charming Binina.
Binina gazed at the distant grayish sea, continuing their voyage would lead them into the rainy sea area.
Behind her, on the deck were active women, at a glance, all were female.
Yet they could skillfully control everything on the ship, raising the sails, allowing the ship to sail at full speed.
"Captain, our signals and radar are facing issues."
At this moment, a crew member approached and said.
Binina raised her eyes slightly, pink lips parted, "What's the cause?"
"Unknown, possibly affected by an unknown magnetic field, the specific cause is still under investigation."
Hearing this, Binina pondered slightly.
She spoke, "No problem, keep going forward. Before these instruments and devices, sea navigation relied solely on experience and intuition."
Saying this, a confident smile appeared on her face.
The crew behind her showed a peculiar expression, some suspiciously glanced at Binina.
"Are you sure, Captain?"
"Of course! As a pirate with seven to eight years of sailing experience, I have this level of confidence. Sail at full speed! Let's go bring back Gerwin!"
...
...
"First, we need to summarize the reasons for this failure."
In the woods.
Natsuhiko sat on the ground, looking at the Pokémon before him.
Actually.
If Beedrill had enough time to buff itself, not to mention defeating that Druddigon, it could at least harm the Druddigon in terms of attack.
Using a strategy of exchanging blows, combined with Abra's help and Togepi's support, if everything went smoothly, they should be able to wear the Druddigon down.
However, such a strategy is a huge test of Beedrill's endurance and resistance.
Given options, Natsuhiko would also prefer not to use this strategy.
But the gap in raw strength, merely relying on cooperation and strategy, is obviously quite challenging to bridge.
Especially when facing a Dragon-type Pokémon.
'If Togepi were to evolve, its strength would increase, enhancing both its support effects and Technique power.'
This thought flashed in Natsuhiko's mind.
'Or if Togepi could use Fairy-type Techniques, it would make it easier for Beedrill to handle.'
Abra and Togepi's Excellence Level strength was insufficient to shake the Elite Level Druddigon, but if their attributes countered, there would at least be some restraint.
Natsuhiko then smiled and shook his head.
'Obsessed. You can't be overly fixated on Togepi's changes; its current role won't change significantly with ability upgrades or evolution.'
Setting aside some impractical thoughts, he began explaining the next arrangements and plans to the Pokémon.
Half an hour later.
Seeing the three Pokémon fully regain their confidence, Natsuhiko nodded in satisfaction.
Actually, his plan was very simple.
First, find other Pokémon to "gain experience."
There were many Wild Pokémon on this island, and they greatly feared the town and the top, allowing them to return to the town to recover and wait once tired.
First practice with the Mightyena and Skuntank tribes on either side of the town, try out tactics, and earn some money along the way.
This island had probably been untouched for a long time, so the strength of the Wild Pokémon was not weak, even if only caught for selling money, it wouldn't be a loss.
Deciding on the plan.
Natsuhiko led the three Pokémon to break into the dog den.
Only Natsuhiko didn't notice that ever since the battle erupted against Druddigon on the mountainside earlier, another pair of eyes had been trailing behind him.
A pair of... orange eyes.
