The Gyarados that had snuck up through the pitch-black water suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Some of the nearby sailors and their Tentacruels couldn't react in time and could only watch helplessly as the Gyarados aimed a Hyper Beam at the St. Louis.

Although the St. Louis was constructed with special materials and had solid defenses, a direct hit from Gyarados' Hyper Beam would still cause serious damage—potentially leading to dangerous explosions and a cascade of further issues.

But just as most thought the St. Louis was about to be struck, a large white Air Cutter and a barrage of green Energy Balls suddenly intercepted the Hyper Beam mid-flight.

"Golbat, Air Cutter, merge them into a single strike! Bellossom, Energy Ball, maximum output!"

Facing the sudden appearance of the Gyarados and its ambush, Sato remained somewhat calm, issuing rapid orders to his Pokémon.

Thanks to Golbat's presence as a mobile sonar, Golbat had subtly warned Sato of the incoming enemy just before Gyarados arrived. This allowed Sato to quickly react, commanding Golbat and Bellossom to counterattack.

Golbat had already prepared its attack, generating a powerful gust almost equivalent to a level 9 wind as six white blades of Air Cutter merged into one massive strike, aiming directly at the oncoming Hyper Beam.

Bellossom, though a moment behind Golbat, responded immediately to Sato's command.

Her body glowed bright green as she launched twelve soccer ball-sized Energy Balls from her hands, following closely behind Golbat's Air Cutter.

In the next second, Gyarados' Hyper Beam collided with Golbat's Air Cutter and Bellossom's Energy Balls.

Golbat's Air Cutter sliced through the Hyper Beam like a sharp blade, splitting it down the middle.

However, it lacked the sheer power needed to fully counter Gyarados' Hyper Beam and was eventually broken through.

Using the path Golbat's Air Cutter created, Bellossom's Energy Balls continued forward, intercepting the weakened Hyper Beam.

Ultimately, under the combined power of Golbat and Bellossom's attacks, Gyarados' Hyper Beam was neutralized, and Bellossom's Energy Balls struck Gyarados directly, knocking it back into the ocean.

But Gyarados was not so easily defeated. It quickly resurfaced, even more furious, with its enraged eyes fixed on Bellossom.

Just as Gyarados was about to recover from the side effects of its Hyper Beam and attack Bellossom, the nearby sailors finally reacted, directing their Tentacruels to team up and launch a coordinated assault on Gyarados.

Within moments, three Tentacruels used their tentacles to tightly restrain Gyarados, pinning it down against the water's surface, rendering it almost immobile.

Taking advantage of the situation, Sato used his system's scan ability to examine the Gyarados's data.

Gyarados's Data:

Level: 35

Ability: Intimidate

With Gyarados restrained by the Tentacruels, Sato thought he wouldn't need to take any further action. But he underestimated Gyarados' power and overestimated the strength of these Tentacruels.

Even with three Tentacruels working together, the enraged Gyarados suddenly burst out in strength, breaking free by snapping all the tentacles wrapped around him.

Immediately, he unleashed a series of Thrash attacks, severely injuring all three Tentacruels.

"Damn it, Golbat, use Air Cutter again, combine six Cutters into one! Bellossom, use Stun Spore—let's calm him down!"

Seeing the situation turn, Sato quickly issued commands to his two Pokémon.

Golbat, cloaked in a powerful Flying-type energy, flapped its wings fiercely, creating another powerful gust.

With precision, it combined six smaller Air Cutters into a single, large white blade, which shot like lightning toward Gyarados.

Meanwhile, Bellossom followed Sato's instructions, releasing a cloud of yellow Stun Spore from the flowers on her head, letting the strong wind carry it toward Gyarados.

In his enraged state, Gyarados was too focused on attacking the three Tentacruels to notice Golbat and Bellossom's sneak attack. As a result, Golbat's Air Cutter and Bellossom's Stun Spore struck him directly.

The Air Cutter knocked Gyarados back slightly, leaving a deep gash along his side, while the Stun Spore halted his furious roars, causing his body to stiffen up.

"Now, full power attack! Golbat, Bellossom, use Shadow Ball and Energy Ball from a distance—keep it going!"

Seeing the Stun Spore had taken effect, Sato's eyes glinted as he seized the chance. He ordered Golbat and Bellossom to unleash their full firepower on the temporarily paralyzed Gyarados.

In the next instant, Golbat and Bellossom turned into living machine guns, launching Shadow Balls and Energy Balls from their mouths and hands in rapid succession.

A series of small explosions echoed as the attacks landed, impacting Gyarados one after another.

In the end, though Gyarados' rage hadn't completely dissipated, he was unable to withstand the relentless barrage of attacks.

Overwhelmed by the Shadow Balls and Energy Balls—each with a chance to lower his special defense—Gyarados finally succumbed, collapsing onto the surface of the sea.

"Phew… finally down. This guy sure put up a fight. Gyarados really are vicious maniacs—they go crazy and stop at nothing!"

Seeing Gyarados finally defeated, Sato and the surrounding sailors sighed in relief.

Just as Sato was considering capturing Gyarados, a Great Ball suddenly flew out from a dark corner, hitting Gyarados and successfully capturing him.

In the next moment, to the fury of Sato and nearby crew members, the Great Ball absorbed Gyarados and locked in the capture.

Then, a Pidgeotto swooped down from the sky, aiming to snatch the Great Ball.

"Think you're getting away with this? Golbat, show them who they're messing with! Use Gust at full power—don't let them escape!"

Seeing someone trying to snatch his prize, Sato's eyes turned cold as he immediately ordered Golbat to attack.

Golbat prepared to follow the command but suddenly sensed something and halted, moving in front of Sato to use Protect.

In that instant, a bolt of electricity shot out from a shadowy corner, targeting Sato directly.
