Spirit, I can hear the voices of all things

After this elf was tamed by Xi, it usually followed Xi obediently and protected Xi.

But how did it get here?

[Iron Claw Lobster: I followed you here just because I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to find the way to the giant whirlpool.]

[Lobster: Don't look at me like that. I'm not responsible for the battle.]

[Ironclaw Lobster: I just want to repay you, thank you for finding a suitable trainer for me. 】

The lobster stood there with a domineering look on its face.

Xia Mu thought about it and felt that what the lobster was said was right.

After all, the lobster is familiar with that sea area, and if there are any problems, it should know how to solve them.

So he let the lobster stay.

The Poké Ball of the Ironclaw was hanging on its neck. Xia Mu took off the Poké Ball and put it away.

Xia Mu climbed up along the side of the submarine. The entrance of the submarine was located on the side.

He flipped a switch hidden in the wing, revealing a fingerprint button.

After pressing the button, the entrance to the side wing opened.

Xia Mu took Hu Hu and Miao Miao into the submarine.

This submarine is designed to be spacious and can accommodate two people. It is like an RV and has all the facilities you need.

For the convenience of people in the submarine, the submarine is also equipped with toilets and shower facilities.

Through the observation window of the submarine, you can even see the azure blue water and the elves on the seabed.

The submarine is equipped with a capture net and two electric shock guns.

If you see a suitable Pokémon in the deep sea, you can stun it with an electric gun and then capture it with a capture net.

Xia Mu slowly walked towards the driver's seat.

Here he needs to perform fingerprint and iris authentication at the same time to activate the submarine's main system.

After authentication, the submarine's steering wheel was unlocked with a click, and a gentle female voice came from the speaker.

"Hello, Mr. Xia Mu, we are about to start a pleasant underwater journey. Would you like to choose automatic driving mode or manual driving mode?"

Xia Mu directly chose the automatic driving mode. He planned to switch to manual mode when he arrived in Shuijing City.

After all, the road over there is not easy to travel on.

The submarine slowly sank into the sea, and it turned on the autopilot mode.

It contains a detection radar that can scan obstacles within 500 meters.

If the submarine encounters reefs or water-type Pokémon that look tough, it will automatically avoid them.

The inland sea of ​​Zijin City is very deep. When the submarine dives to a certain depth, the surroundings become dark.

At this time, the system automatically turned on the searchlight.

The submarine's lights illuminated the surrounding sea and the elves living in the darkness.

The colorful coral reefs are like blooming flowers, and their colors are even more vivid and eye-catching under the light.

In the coral reefs, water elves of various shapes and sizes shuttled through, including Sharptooth Fish, Megalodon, and even a Gyarados swimming overhead.

After sensing the aura of the megalodon emanating from the submarine, these elves all moved away.

The landforms on the seabed are also varied and bizarre. Xia Mu admired them for a while and then lost interest.

Just during this time, Xia Mu's eyes fell on Miaomiao and Huhu.

"Meow meow, Hu Hu, how much do you know about the giant whirlpool on the seafloor?"

Meow Meow is Xia Mu's encyclopedia and has read many books.

As for Nancy who disappeared in the huge underwater whirlpool, Hu Hu should have the information sent by Alakazam.

Meowth touched his chin and said, "According to historical records, there was no large underwater whirlpool between the Kanto region and the Hoenn region."

"Suddenly one day, after thunder and lightning, this vortex appeared."

"It is said that someone once saw a huge silver-white figure near the whirlpool."

"The vortex wasn't that big at the beginning, and it only got bigger and bigger towards the end."

"This huge underwater vortex eventually developed to the point where if you entered the vicinity of it, you would lose your way."

"Over time, it became a place where ghost-type elves gathered."

Meowth revealed information about the Great Whirlpool.

Xia Mu's eyes then fell on Hu Hu.

"The information I have is similar to what Meowth said, but the version is slightly different."

"Originally, the location of the whirlpool was a small island, but one day it angered the sea god Lugia, and was punished by God."

"The entire island was silent at the bottom of the sea, and the residents on the island turned into ghost-type elves."

Just as Xia Mu was about to speak, the submarine suddenly sounded a shrill alarm.

Chapter 157: Conquering the Ancient Coelacanth

Time goes back to not long ago.

Under the calm sea surface, Xia Mu's submarine was cruising quietly like a silent deep-sea monster.

The radar emitted bursts of sound waves, surveying the topography of the seabed.

A black shadow quickly passed through the coral reefs, attracting the attention of other water elves.

It was a huge deep-sea elf with a streamlined body that shone with an ochre-colored luster. Its dark brown body was dotted with light brown patterns and a large red dot.

Its eyes are usually tightly closed, but when they open, they are like two bright stars, flashing sharp light in the dark seabed.

Its swimming trajectory is vigorous and swift, and every swing of its tail can create a splash of water.

This deep-sea prey shuttled through the coral reefs, its target locked on a school of weaklings gathered together.

It suddenly accelerated, like a flash of brown lightning, and instantly passed through the school of weaklings.

Before the group of tench could react, several of its companions were gone.

It opened its mouth, revealing teeth as sharp as daggers.

Behind it, a group of panicked tenchs were left behind. They fled in all directions in fear, and the sea was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

At this time, the yellow searchlight fell on the elf's eyes, and after being exposed to the strong light, the elf was blinded.

It closed its eyes involuntarily, and its huge body rushed towards Xia Mu's submarine like a torpedo.

The scan detected a black shadow rushing towards them, and Xia Mu's submarine suddenly glowed red.

A huge impact force suddenly hit, instantly breaking the calmness of the submarine.

The hull of the submarine collided violently with an unidentified object, accompanied by a deafening noise, and the entire submarine seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer.

The huge shock wave spread in the water, causing ripples and a deep dent in the submarine's hull. Fortunately, the submarine did not make a hole.

The submarine's lights flickered and dimmed at the moment of impact, giving people a weird and tense feeling. The surrounding water elves were frightened and drilled towards the mud on the seabed.

The surroundings became foggy. Many water elves quietly opened their eyes and looked up at the ferocious beast. Another huge black shadow was knocked unconscious. It turned over and was about to float to the surface of the sea.

The air inside the boat was compressed at the moment of impact, making a sharp whistling sound.

Various instruments in the submarine issued sharp alarms during the collision, and the data on the display screens became a mess, making it impossible to distinguish.

"Alert, alert, the submarine is seriously damaged."

"The submarine is badly damaged."

"We are urgently repairing it. This repair is expected to last twenty-three minutes."

"The power system will be shut down while repairs are being made."

At this time, the submarine's lights began to go out one after another, and the cabin suddenly became dark. Only a progress bar appeared on the display screen.

After the impact, the submarine began to sway in the water like a wounded fish struggling in the ocean.

The interior of the submarine was very bumpy, as if someone was shaking it hard from the outside.

Meow Meow used his superpowers to stabilize Xia Mu and Hu Hu's bodies, preventing Xia Mu from standing unsteadily in the cabin and causing secondary damage.

"Meow meow, can you use your super powers to see what kind of elf is crashing in from outside?"

At the moment of impact, Xia Mu's arm hit the cabin heavily, leaving a bruise on his arm.

His expression at this moment was somewhat grim.

It's really a pity that I died before I could accomplish anything. I didn't check the almanac before going out to sea today.

"It was an elf I had never seen before. It was in the shape of a fish. It was gray-brown all over, with its eyes tightly closed, and there was a big red spot on its body!"

Meowth used his superpowers to see through the outer wall of the submarine and saw the true appearance of the elf.

"Gray-brown, fish-shaped, with big red spots!"

The image of an elf flashed through Xia Mu's mind.

At this time, Xia Mu saw the purple dialog box floating above the elf's head, which completely proved the identity of the elf.

[Ancient Coelacanth (purple): Damn it, I was just eating and humming a song, and I ended up falling over? My brain is so dizzy. ]

[Ancient Coelacanth (Purple): I don't think I have a concussion. 】

The cerebral cortex of this ancient coelacanth is unusually active, and it has lived for a long time.

"Shit, this elf has to be tamed!"

Xia Mu staggered to the location of the capture net switch.

With the faint fluorescence on the screen, Xia Mu began to manually adjust the capture net.

There is a Poké Ball at the end of the capture net.

After Xia Mu adjusted the direction of the capture net, he pulled the trigger with his jade-white hand.

The silvery-white net flew out directly and surrounded the body of the ancient coelacanth.

At this time, the Poké Ball at the end of the capture net hit the Ancient Coelacanth directly.

The Ancient Acanthopteryx turned into a red light and disappeared into the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball was shaking in the dim seabed, and a red light came out from the switch of the Poké Ball.

Xia Mu was very excited at this moment, his heart was beating violently, as if his heart would jump out of his chest in the next second.

Finally, after the three stars representing the conquest lit up, Xia Mu's heart finally settled down.

The fishing net shrank rapidly, and the Poké Ball containing the Ancient Acanthopteryx was also taken back.

Xia Mu quickly operated on the operating table, and heard a bang, and a Poké Ball fell down.

The Poké Ball, which was filled with the smell of salty sea water, rolled under Xia Mu.

Xia Mu held the Poké Ball tightly in his hand in the dim light.

"This is an ancient coelacanth fish that is even rarer than a mythical beast. Such a dreamlike elf actually fell into my hands."

Xia Mu said quietly, with a gleam in his eyes in the dim light.

It is said that the ancient coelacanth is a living map, and the older the ancient coelacanth is, the better the effect.

Their bodies are covered with map-like patterns, which is the map of the Hoenn region. The red dot on their bodies symbolizes the current location of Kyogre.
