Three Big Dummies

The surging waves finally calmed down as Wailord retreated.

However, the crisis was far from over. The group of Sharpedo turned their fierce attack towards the newly repaired breach on the cruise ship.

Chen Yue furrowed his brow slightly, glanced at the Goldeen and Starmie still struggling below, and said to the nearby sailors, "Quickly recall your Pokemon into their Poke Balls!"

"Huh?"

Several sailors were puzzled, and some hesitated.

"But your Dragonite can't battle in the water, and once we recall our Pokemon, there will be no one to stop this group of Sharpedo..."

The defenses at the bottom of the ship were starting to crumble under the relentless attacks of the Sharpedo.

The situation below was relayed to every corner of the deck through the broadcast:

"We're in trouble! We can't hold on much longer!"

"Ah! I have a leak here, Glaceon, use Ice Beam!"

Among them were the sounds of intense Tackles and clear metallic transformations.

Chen Yue didn't want to waste any time and directly ordered Dragonite, "Use Thunderbolt!"

"Woo!"

Dragonite let out a melodious growl.

A strong electric current surged from the horn on its head, spreading outwards like a chaotic dance of a dragon, centered around it, rushing into the sea, and spreading in all directions through the seawater.

In the blink of an eye, the sea where the cruise ship was located was shrouded in a layer of yellow lightning.

After a moment, the electricity disappeared, and everything returned to silence.

The group of sailors responsible for repairing the bottom of the ship and their Pokemon all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry," Chen Yue said to the sailors.

The sailors recalled their fainted Pokemon into their Poke Balls and waved their hands, saying, "It's okay, we'll use some healing Potions on them later. Thanks to you, we really appreciate it!"

Gus and Flower approached with Psyduck and Plusle and Minun.

"Wow, Onii-chan, you're amazing!" Flower's eyes had turned into starry eyes.

Chen Yue smiled and asked, "Flower, were you scared just now?"

Flower shook her head, "No, and I protected Little Red and Little Blue well!"

"Good job!" Chen Yue rubbed her head.

Dragonite also flew back.

Mimikyu raised a big thumbs up to it from under the disguise.

"You worked hard!" Chen Yue said.

Dragonite scratched its head with its claws, a silly smile on its face.

No one noticed.

Ripples spread from below the sea's surface.

A sharp black shadow rapidly emerged from the depths of the sea towards the surface.

"Whoosh!"

A loud noise came from below.

The leader of the Sharpedo, like a small missile, slammed into Dragonite, who was on the edge of the ship.

It opened its mouth wide, and a chilling mist emanated from its teeth.

Then, it bit Dragonite's right leg, dragging it into the sea.

"Dragonite!"

Chen Yue didn't hesitate and jumped in, but Mimikyu reacted even faster.

A strong pink light burst from its body, and it followed Dragonite into the sea.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

Three consecutive splashes happened in less than 0.3 seconds.

The people on the deck couldn't react fast enough.

Chen Yue could swim.

As he fell into the water, he saw Mimikyu use Play Rough to knock Sharpedo out.

Dragonite also realized what happened. Its face showed a hint of concern and shock. Without minding the chill in its leg, it swam toward Mimikyu.

So, a minute later.

The people on the deck saw Dragonite returning from the sea with one arm, sighing helplessly when it landed.

Chen Yue, looking at himself and his two Pokemon, all soaked, couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh.

"Whew!"

Mimikyu had no strength left; it had swallowed a lot of seawater and was now spitting out bubbles.

Dragonite sat on the ground, soaked from head to toe, its tail hanging limply behind it. It used its chubby Doduo-like claw to gently rub its waterlogged eyes.

At this moment, the captain came out with the others from the cabin.

Before he could speak, several tourists who had been hiding in their rooms rushed up to ask him what had happened.

The captain smiled wryly and said, "We were forced into a battle between Sharpedo and Wailord, but luckily, a brave Trainer here defeated them!"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Chen Yue, who was surrounded by the crowd.

Chen Yue was examining Dragonite's leg, which had been bitten by Sharpedo using Ice Fang.

Ge Mo came over, took out a Poke Ball from his pocket, and said, "It got frostbitten, but no need to worry!"

With a flash of white light, a Vileplume appeared next to Dragonite.

Ge Mo gave the command, "Vileplume, use Aromatherapy on it!"

The huge red petal on top of Vileplume's head shook twice, and a refreshing fragrance spread from it.

Soon, the frostbitten area on Dragonite's leg began to slowly return to normal, changing from the abnormal gray-blue color to its usual green.

The captain walked over and said, "Can you tell me your name, brave Trainer? On behalf of all our crew, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you!"

When Chen Yue heard this, he raised his right eyebrow slightly and then spoke earnestly, "There's no need for thanks. These are the things a Trainer sponsored by the Hoenn League should do! My name is Chen Yue, and my hometown is in Oldale Town. I'm currently preparing to study at the Pokemon School in Slateport City."

The captain had thick eyebrows and big eyes but unfortunately, he didn't catch Chen Yue's implication. Instead, he was moved by his words:

"You are truly a good person. Nowadays, there are not many Trainers with such excellent qualities like you!"

"If everyone in the League had your mindset, then the future of the Hoenn League will definitely become brighter!"

In the end, this man became so excited that his words became incoherent, "Thank you so much, thank you so much! Let's work together for a better tomorrow in the Hoenn Region!"

Chen Yue: ...

Chen Yue couldn't bear it any longer. He recalled Dragonite into its Poke Ball and went back to his room to change clothes.

The captain became more and more excited, so excited that he went back to the control room and immediately called the headquarters.

Soon, they picked up the call.

The captain said, "President Stone! The situation has been resolved! You don't need to send the Champion here anymore!"

"Yes, it was resolved by a passenger. He has a very powerful Dragonite, and he quickly drove away that group of Sharpedo!"

"What? His name? Oh, oh! His name is Chen Yue, and he seems to be a new student at the Pokemon School in Slateport City!"

"He's a really good person!" The captain said one last sentence before hanging up.

Mr. Stone thought for a moment, picked up the phone and called Steven Stone, recounting what had happened.

Steven Stone, who was on his way to the rescue, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "Perfect, I'm currently in the waters near Slateport City. Chen Yue, right? Pokemon School, got it. I'll go meet him!"

Chen Yue himself was unaware of all this. He changed into shorts and just returned to the deck when he heard a melodious steam whistle.

The ship slowly reduced its speed and docked at the pier.

Slateport City.
