26: Assault

swoosh!!!

Jayden and gyarados' excitedly swam across the surface of the water, sometimes Gyarados would descend under the water and Jayden could see all the Pokemon that inhabited this huge sea.

the colorful underwater plants caught his eye as they seemed to illuminate all the areas around them, he was truly having fun, even Gyarados seemed excited as it occasionally released roars of excitement and tried to explore everywhere.

meanwhile back on the yacht.

a group of people had actually noticed Jayden jumping off the ship, they had been so scared and thought this was an act of suicide.

but after seeing him then appear on top of a Gyarados and ride away, they could only stare in awe.

After all it wasn't everyday that one could see such a huge shiny Pokemon, and a shiny Gyarados to be exact.

"wait, isn't that the same red Gyarados that was in the video of the pewter city gym battle?" a young man in glasses holding a phone said in shock, while staring at the red Gyarados which was speeding off into the distance.

a group of the kids friends immediately surrounded him and they began rewatching the fight video of the pewter city gym.

Jayden vs. Forrest.

"he is so cool"

most of the kids said, they couldn't believe Jayden was on the yacht with them.

little did Jayden know, ever since his fight video with Forrest was posted, he had actually become an idol in the eyes of many young children from pewter city and other neighboring cities, children who aspired to become pokemon trainers one day.

Jayden could be considered a small celebrity due to his confidence in using a small Magikarp to fight an onix, and winning the battle which seemed to have 0 points of favor in him at first.

many people around even started recording the scene of Jayden riding around on his red Gyarados, submerging into the deep blue water before jumping out like a dolphin.

this was what every trainer aspired to be, free and unfettered.

Jayden and his Gyarados were about to go viral once again.

----

Jayden and gyarados swam across the sea for hours upon hours before the sun began to set, so he decided to head back towards the yacht.

but he sensed danger.

back on the ship...

captain Wilson looked at his screen which showcased a group of five creatures in the shape of gyarados', speedily advancing towards the yacht.

but none of the captains were scared, after all they were a professional company, they had many strong trainers to deal with this type of situation.

a middle aged man who stood in the middle of the group of captains sighed before saying-

"get one of the guards to take care of this, it's best to kill the gyarados' before they get too close" he said while stroking his short beard which was surprisingly white, almost like that of an old man's.

"captain, it seems like we don't really have to do anything?" a security person sitting in front of a computer said while looking at the screen in front of him.

"what? what do you mean by that?" the middle aged man as well as the other captains were also confused.

"well...." the man was confused on how to explain, he could only watch the screen attentively.

"w- who the fuck is that?" the middle aged man said In confusion.

-----

Jayden rode atok Gyarados, with aura he was able to send the group of 5 Gyarados heading towards the yacht at increasing speeds.

in a matter of seconds his Gyarados caught up to them nearly instantly before they could continue their advance.

"Gyarados, kill them, use waterfall, full power" Jayden shouted while he stood atop Gyarados like a knight riding his mount.

hearing this, the group of 5 Gyarados turned around menacingly before baring their fangs at the red Gyarados.

boom!!

a huge waterfall shot out of the water surface and hit the group of gyarados, tearing them apart and sending their body parts soaring into the air before the water around Jayden became a deep blood red instantly.

although none of the ship passengers could see this scene since there was still a certain distance between Jayden and the ship, the captains and the people in the room could see exactly everything.

they all showed wide eyes of shock while seeing this.

"wait- wait, is that who I think it is?" captain Wilson Said in shock, trying to get a better look.

"what? you know that young man?" the middle aged man said expectantly with curiosity.

everyone in the room was curious about the identity of this young pokemon trainer who rode a shiny red Gyarados which had terrifying power.

---

After killing the group of Gyarados, jayden didn't think much about this action and decided to continue riding around Gyarados.

with the help of his aura, he could breathe under water for almost an hour without a need for air.

of course this was only his guess from previous tests, he hadn't actually dared to stay underwater for one hour, who knew what scary pokemon would pop out and challenge his Gyarados.

Jayden wanted to return back to the yacht and get some rest, but he held back.

Gyarados was communicating with him through his aura, the big guy was telling him that it was getting a strange feeling from deep within the water, almost as if a mysterious source of energy was attracting it.

Gyarados couldn't get rid of this energy, so he could only ask Jayden for help.

Jayden didn't think too much of it, perhaps Gyarados had a strong instinct that could lead him to some type of treasure in the sea.

"go ahead buddy, let's head there then" Jayden said with a laugh.

Gyarados immediately dived into the sea and descended to the bottom at an alarming rate.

"slow down buddy"

Jayden communicated with gayardos' through his aura, since he was in the water and couldn't even open his mouth, in fear of swallowing tons of water type Pokemon poop.
