He knows Pokémon better than me.

In the evening, I had a simple dinner.

The two bought a lot of snacks from Suchuan Town, so they didn't need to start cooking again.

Mary isn't exactly a culinary master; when she travels, she usually just eats instant noodles or sandwiches—the more convenient, the better.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The sky had completely darkened, and the time on the restoration machine's dashboard was about to reset to zero. Ash stood guard in front of the incubation chamber, his heart pounding involuntarily, waiting for the appearance of the Gill Dracovish.

Mary then took out her Rotom phone and turned on the camera mode.

She had only ever heard rumors about fossil Pokémon in the Galar region, and today she could finally see if they were true or not.

"Time is up!"

With Mao Shi's reminder, and with Mary keeping an eye on her, she didn't run into any trouble in the latter half of the day.

*Crack!*
The cultivation chamber, which was about two meters high, slowly opened, and a pool of green liquid, mostly nutrient solution, flowed out.

A Pokémon taller than a person slid slowly down the liquid.

Boom!
It was quite heavy. When I got off, I sat down on the ground with a thud, and the ground shook.

The fossil Pokémon opened its eyes, looking around curiously and bewilderedly, and soon noticed Ash standing at the front.

"Gills?"

It tilted its head, looking at the human monkey with a puzzled expression.

If it were any other fossil Pokémon, such as Aerodactyl, it would have already become aggressive and started attacking humans.

However, the one in front of us was sitting docilely on the ground with its mouth half open, looking very honest and simple.

"Is this a ichthyosaur?"

Ash was also excitedly observing the other side. The pale blue head of the ancient fish, with its jaw and teeth belonging to the same organ, was clearly unlike the characteristics of modern fish.

Its lower body is the shape of a dark blue dragon, covered with sharp, deep red patterns.

At first, Ash thought that the head of the Dracovish was connected to the neck of the dragon's body, which didn't seem like a big problem.

But upon closer inspection, it wasn't connected to the dragon's neck, but rather...
The tip of the tail?!
"Beep beep, Dracovish, Water/Dragon type! One of the fossil Pokémon of the Galar region, composed of the head of a fossil fish and the body of a fossil dragon, possessing an extremely powerful bite force, Roto~!"

However, judging from the description in the encyclopedia, it seems quite powerful.

Moreover, it possesses the noble attributes of Water and Dragon!
"Gills!"

The latter began to struggle to get up, but seemed unable to control his body well, slipping and falling several times as he tried to get up.

However, he adapted quickly and stood up steadily after a few attempts.

But the head connecting to the end of the long, thin tail that sticks up feels a bit odd.

"However, it seems there are no signs of discomfort."

Mary was also observing carefully from the side. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any organs like a respiratory tract or esophagus at the end of the tail, right?
As a result, the ichthyosaur was still able to breathe normally and soon began to try walking.

Well, all I can say is that in the world of Pokémon, you shouldn't talk about science!
Ash and Pikachu also stepped forward and greeted them with smiles:
"Gillfish Dragon, nice to meet you!"

"Pica~!"

As for Baby Dragons, although they are all competitive with Dragon-type Pokémon, they really can't compete with a Pokémon like the Gilldrae Dragon, which always has a憨厚 (honest and simple) face.

The Dracovish stood there stunned for a while, then suddenly pounced on Ash, clearly having regained good control of its body. It then bit Ash's head, not with a crunchy bite like a predator, but rather with a gentle, affectionate bite.

There are also two very short fins on both sides of the lower jaw, like little short hands, supporting Ash's body.

Before long, the person and the dragon were playing together and getting along very well.

"She has a very gentle personality."

Mary also paused the recording, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Although its design is somewhat unusual, it doesn't seem to be any different from other Pokémon.

"Gills~!"

The next second, the ichthyosaur pounced on Mary, mimicking her actions, and bit Mary's head, engaging in a close interaction.

The latter blushed, realizing there were people watching, and quickly nudged the struggling gill harpy.

Immediately afterwards, the gill harpoon lunged at Maoshi.
Do you like biting other people's heads?

Xiao Zhi wiped the drool from his head, smiled, and put his hands on his hips, having roughly figured it out.

This ichthyosaur is likely strong, and its "Frozen Fang" attack should be extremely powerful!
"Unfortunately, it seems that there are no 'Water Fangs' or 'Dragon Fangs' for water and dragon attributes, so they cannot be amplified."

"Wait a minute, Ash."

Despite being tackled to the ground by the Dracovish, Moshi still struggled to interrupt Ash:

"Dichthyosaurus has its own unique move, Gill Bite, which can trigger the Strong ability."

The encyclopedia also emitted a notification sound simultaneously:
"Beep beep! Gill Bite, the signature move of the Dracovish, Water-type, power 85. But if you can strike first, the power will double!"

Upon hearing this, Ash's eyes lit up; under normal circumstances, it already possessed the power to shatter water currents.
No, if you include strength, it already had more power than a high-pressure water pump from the start!
If you can strike first, the power will double, and with the added boost from Strength, the power will be even greater.
Beside her, Mary quickly calculated the result in her mind:

“85乘2，然后再乘1.5威力能到255，比大爆炸的威力还要高5点！”

In that instant, Ash's expression towards Dracovish completely changed, filled with admiration and affection.

"How can there be such a cool Pokémon as Dracovish?!"

Although he hasn't actually fought one yet, Ash can already imagine how terrifying Dracovish would be in battle!

So when will they give Aerodactyl a unique move?!

On the other side, Mo Shi finally broke free from the bite of the Dracovish, and the latter hugged Xiao Zhi and rubbed against him affectionately.

Maoshi couldn't help but remind Xiaozhi:
"Well, while the gill bite is theoretically explosive in damage, the speed of the ichthyosaur itself is very slow, although it's not quite at the level of the Coal Turtle."

"However, it is too difficult to get the jaw bite first in actual combat."

Of course, even a normal jaw bite has a power of 120.

A powerful move with no side effects is already quite outrageous.

That's why Mo Shi was certain that as long as a powerful trainer brought a fossil Pokémon to the battle arena, it would definitely become an instant hit!
After all, its inherent strength is undeniable!
"Is the speed not good? It's not a big problem."

Xiao Zhi smiled and waved his hand, not caring at all.

There are plenty of items or moves that allow the Dracovish to strike first!

Beside her, Mary's eyes also held a hint of envy. She suddenly had a strong urge to return to Traverse Town and search the treasure market again; maybe she could even collect a fossil Pokémon! (End of Chapter)
