The lively actions of the Pearl Island fleet naturally attracted the attention of Hua Jianming and the other two.
As Jiang Yuchen approached, the elf carrying him also appeared in front of Hua Jianming and the other two.
"That elf is!"
The elf Jiang Yuchen rode had long curly hair in navy blue, tied into three sections by pearl hair ties, and pink starfish hair accessories on both temples.
"Hydrangea! One of the three starter Pokémon of Treasure Island. This type of Pokémon can only be seen in the Hawaiian Islands and Treasure Island."

After a brief introduction, Hua Jianming looked at Chi Baixia.
"Go meet him and find out what's going on. If he really wants to attack us, just find a chance to take him down. Dark Lugia will help you."
At Hua Jianming's signal, Chi Baixia jumped off the freighter without giving in, and Shiny Gyarados caught him in time.
At the same time, a huge black shadow flashed under the freighter.
Chapter 394 Confident Jiang Yuchen and Sea Rabbit
Jiang Yuchen looked at the young man in front of him who looked much younger than himself and his weird-looking Gyarados.
"Are you the trainer who saved the freighter from the ghost ship?"
When facing Jiang Yuchen, Chi Baixia was more interested in his elf.
However, he still answered Jiang Yuchen's question politely: "My companions and I took the freighter back from the ghost ship."
Chi Baixia suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What I want to know is why the fleet of Pearl Island suddenly surrounded us here. As citizens of the Huaxia Alliance, this doesn't seem appropriate, right?"
Jiang Yuchen smiled awkwardly and said, "This freighter is the property of Pearl Island. Our fleet tracked the ghost ship all the way here, so there were some misunderstandings. You see..."
Chi Baixia frowned when he heard this.
The other party's meaning was very clear. Everything on this freighter was the property of Pearl Island. It seemed that they wanted to spit out all the smuggled elves themselves.
They know what's on the freighter!
It seems that this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.
In just a few words, Chi Baixia had already analyzed the situation roughly. He remembered Hua Jianming's explanation of the matter and prepared to find an opportunity to capture the officer in front of him first.
One more hostage always means one more bargaining chip.
"This ship was captured by my companions and I after we defeated a large number of ghost-type Pokémon. Since we are all trainers, how about solving this problem in the trainer's way?"
Seeing that the other party was planning to engage in an elf battle with him, Jiang Yuchen, who was excited about the prey, couldn't wait to try it out and agreed on the spot.
"This is my first Pokémon."
Jiang Yuchen threw a Poké Ball, and after a flash of white light, a little Pokémon with a reddish-brown head and back and a pink belly appeared in front of Chi Baixia.
It has horn-like tentacles and eye-like patterns on its forehead, making it look like it has three eyes.
A quasi-king-level sea slug.
"That's a water-type and ground-type Sea Slug. This should be the West Sea form of Sea Slug. There's also an East Sea form of Sea Slug that often appears on the east coast of the United Alliance."
Just as Hua Jianming and Xia Chan were explaining this little elf, Chi Baixia also responded.
He knew about the Pokémon Sea Slug. When he was studying with Wenren Xuesong, Wenren Xuesong specifically taught him about this Pokémon, which was very popular among water-type trainers.
Generally speaking, trainers usually capture a Sea Slug with the [Water-Draining] attribute as their own Pokémon.
The characteristic of [Water Draw] is to draw the opponent's water-attribute moves to yourself, preventing you from taking damage while also increasing your own special attack.
This is a deadly threat to trainers who specialize in water.
Although he didn't know what the characteristics of the sea slug on the opposite side were, in order to avoid the embarrassment of facing the [Water Diversion] characteristic, Chi Baixia sent out the Thorn Dragon King.
Then, a majestic Thorny Dragon King appeared opposite the Sea Slug.
The Thorn Dragon King looks like a seahorse, with horns similar to those of a Chinese dragon on its head, and scales on its body shining with an elegant and deep luster.
The Thorn Dragon King, who possesses dragon attributes, looks down upon the soft and tender elf opposite him. Being proud by nature, he squinted his eyes and looked at the Sea Slug with disdain.
“【Sharpening】!”
Since they each serve their own master, Chi Baixia will not let the challenger attack first like he did when he was a gym trainer. He will try to resolve the battle quickly and defeat the opponent without any injury.
[Sharpening] is a skill one level higher than [Gathering Energy]. It can ensure that the next attack of the Thorn Dragon King will hit the enemy's vital point.
After being [honed], the Thorn Dragon King stared at the Sea Slug opposite him with a sharp gaze, waiting for the trainer's order. Although it had secretly used [High Speed Movement] to increase its speed while swimming.
Jiang Yuchen did not notice the little tricks of the Thorn Dragon King. Having been in his comfort zone for a long time, he adhered to the formal combat methods. When he saw that the opponent made the first move, he also gave orders to the Sea Slug.
“Pray for rain!”
The combination of water and ground attributes, plus the [Water Draw] feature and the ability to recover, Jiang Yuchen really couldn't understand how he could lose.
In this case, it is natural to give yourself another layer of venue advantage.
"Since the opponent is not in a hurry to attack, let's stack the buffs first."
Chi Baixia naturally saw through the opponent's tactics. Since no one was in a hurry to attack, he decided to just develop steadily.
So, after [Gathering Qi], the Thorn Dragon King began to twist his body again, dancing an obscure yet mysterious dance.
Jiang Yuchen was naturally happier when he saw that the Dragon King was not in a hurry to attack.
So, under Jiang Yuchen's command, Sea Slug began to use [Harden] and [Instant Amnesia] alternately to improve its physical defense and special defense.
My goodness, is this a critical hit versus a meat shield fight?
The first to launch the attack were Chi Baixia and the Thorn Dragon King. The Thorn Dragon King, who had completed the enhancement first, started with a [Dragon Wave]. The deep blue energy ball filled with terrifying power smashed towards the Sea Slug.
Because the Thorn Dragon deliberately chose a position very close to Sea Slug before attacking, Sea Slug was unable to dodge and was hit in the face by [Dragon Wave].
With a scream, the sea slug was knocked away.
Jiang Yuchen still did not choose to attack. After calming the sea slug, he gave up the physical defense enhancement brought by [Hardening] and chose the special defense enhancement of [Instant Amnesia] instead.
At the same time, Sea Slug also used [Self-Regeneration] to restore its strength.
The Thorn Dragon King approached again, and after [Sharpening], another [Dragon Wave] hit Sea Slug, knocking it away again.
Although the Sea Slug was in a miserable state, under Jiang Yuchen's command, it continued to recover its strength while also continuously improving its special defense. The situation was evolving in the direction that Jiang Yuchen wanted.
Now even Hua Jianming and Xia Chan on the freighter couldn't stand it anymore.
"Doesn't he know that the Thorn Dragon King strengthens speed and attack? Now he is being misled by Bai Xia to strengthen special defense. If he is caught, he will be defeated in a wave."
Xia Chan found it difficult to understand Jiang Yuchen's judgment of the battle situation. He actually dared to strengthen a critical strike attacker at will.
Hua Jianming smiled and said, "Perhaps the other party has his own plans. Perhaps the hit rate of this sea hare beast's [Clearing Smoke] is very high."
The effect of [Clear Smoke] is to throw special mud blocks at the opponent to attack, returning its ability to the original point.
To put it bluntly, it means resetting the opponent's enhancement and everything is back to zero.
However, this is also under the premise of being able to hit the opponent. Now the Thorn Dragon King has increased his speed to a terrifying level through [Teleport] and [Dragon Dance]. Not to mention that this is the Thorn Dragon King's home court in the sea. Will this Sea Rabbit risk its life to hit its own skills?
Xia Chan was also amused by Hua Jianming's words, and he even defended his opponent, "Trainers who can reach the Quasi-King level are not weak. This only shows that the opponent has too little experience in actual combat. At least Sea Rabbit trusts his trainer, doesn't he?"
"That's true."
Hua Jianming looked at the Sea Slug that was still being knocked away, and nodded in agreement, which was rare.
At this time, Sea Slug, whose special defense had been strengthened, began its first attack in this battle under the command of its trainer.
Purple mud kept coming out of the sea slug's mouth, dyeing the sea water purple, but not a single piece of it hit the Dragon King.
"Since I can't hit you, I will make sure that the surrounding area can't be transformed into the sea area of [Clear Smoke], and you can't hide from it even if you want to."
Jiang Yuchen is very confident in his tactics.
Even if this will affect the strengthening of [Clearing Smoke] on Sea Slug, but as long as it can clear the strengthening of Thorn Dragon, it will all be worth it.
“【Tidal Swirl】!”
He actually used such a large-scale water-attribute skill. Didn't he already know that Sea Slug was not afraid of such attacks at all?
After all, the fact that the Thorn Dragon King had not used water-attribute skills on the Sea Slug from the very beginning until now had already made Jiang Yuchen guess that the opponent might have guessed and understood the [Water-attracting] property of his own Sea Slug.
"Use [Muddy Flow] to muddy the water."
Jiang Yuchen was surprised by what Chi Baixia and the Dragon King did, but being cautious by nature, he still made his own response.
Since the opponent is determined to use water-based skills, then I should just remain unchanged in the face of change.
Turbid and muddy sea water is a more suitable home for Sea Aplysia than normal sea water. Such an environment allows Sea Aplysia to be more comfortable.
Gradually, Jiang Yuchen finally realized that something was wrong...
Chapter 395 The Mysterious Evolution of the Wealth-Snatching Spirit
Wild thorn dragon kings usually live in the deep sea where no living creatures live. Just moving their bodies can cause huge tidal waves, and a yawn can cause turbulent ocean currents.
It can be said that there is no other elf below the legendary elves who understands Tide Whirl better than the Thorn Dragon King.
[Muddy Current] and [Clear Smoke] made the sea water extremely dirty, but the [Tidal Whirlpool] of the Thorn Dragon King rolled all the polluted sea water together, and in the middle of the tidal whirlpool was the struggling Sea Slug.
"Do you think such an attack will have any effect on the Sea Haremon?"
Jiang Yuchen was delighted to see the Sea Slug gradually regain its ability to move, and then he calmly watched the Thorn Dragon King causing chaos there.
Although the effect of [Clearing Smoke] backfired on Sea Slug and cleared all of its previous enhancements, Sea Slug also took this opportunity to use [Self-Regeneration] to restore a wave of physical strength.
