Chapter Twenty-Seven: Subduing the Starfish

Seeing that Joey was saved, Genma breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly floated up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Miss Joy, are you alright?" asked Genma, looking at Joey sitting on the back of a giant carp king.

"I'm fine, I'm just entangled in seaweed," Joey nodded to Genma first, signaling that she was okay, and then gently stroked the huge Carp King who was carrying her, "Thank you, Carp King, you saved me again." ”

"Miss Joey, this carp king is ------" Genma remembered that Joey said that there was a water elf friend who fished for bait, could it be this carp king?

"That's right, that's what I'm talking about. Joey confirmed Genma's guess.

"This friend of yours is so big!" The carp king in front of him is two feet long, and he is definitely the giant of the carp king.

"Well, we've known each other since we were kids, and it grew up with me. ”

Genma looked at Joey, who was interacting with the carp king, and asked, "Miss Joey, I'm writing a research paper on the size of the carp king, this friend of yours is very special and helpful to my research, I wonder if you can ask him to help?" I won't do anything excessive. "It's an open secret that many researchers will do cruel experiments with elves, but in order to get the results of their research, everyone will turn a blind eye.

"That's fine," Joey nodded, "let's give the scallops to Multitrack first." More on that later. ”

As soon as the two returned to the island and handed over the scallops to Multitrack, before they could catch their breath, Joey received a new emergency case and hurriedly rowed away, and the task of capturing starfish could only be completed by the two of them alone. As soon as Joey left, the carp king also dived into the sea and disappeared, which frustrated Genma's idea of taking the opportunity to test it.

"Forget it, as long as Miss Joy is still around, there is a chance. Genma comforted himself, and then stopped thinking about this, and threw himself into the preparation for catching starfish.

There were fresh scallops, and the multi-track bait was quickly ready. It was a milky mass of stuff that looked like fresh lychees from a previous life.

"Can this thing attract starfish?" asked Genma, not so much questioning the multi-orbital ability, but as Joey described the starfish as cunning.

"I don't know, but it's better than waiting. "Multitrack doesn't have much confidence in that either.

Fearing that the starfish would see the clue, the two did not use a hook, but instead cast the bait on the shallows, and then sent out the Water Pokémon to patrol the area.

According to Joey, the currents of this area will pass through here, and the currents will soon carry the fragrance of the bait throughout the sea, and the starfish will definitely be attracted by the time. ”

"Will other water spirits be attracted as well?"

"No," Dash Track shook his head, "this is something I've configured specifically to suit the tastes of starfish, only starfish have a fatal attraction, and other water spirits won't be too interested." ”

After casting the bait, the two began to wait quietly.

Time passed, and the sun gradually slipped from the middle sky and slowly set to the west, and the golden sunlight shone obliquely on the sea, shining with golden light, but neither of them had the intention of admiring it. The Pokémon on patrol waited for a long time and didn't see the starfish coming, and both humans and elves were a little anxious.

"Probably the starfish aren't home today. Genma joked, trying to comfort Duo Lane with this. The idea was a lot of tricks, and she must have been sad that she had done so much, but she couldn't lead to the sea star.

Multitrack bit his nails and did not speak. As a breeder, Duo Rail, because he has to cook a lot, he doesn't have long nails like girls of the same age, and he puts nail polish on them and puts some beautiful decorations on them.

"No," Multitrack said abruptly.

"What's wrong?"

"The amount of bait is wrong, there are fewer bait. However, the other party is very cunning to eat a little east and a little west, which creates a visual effect that we don't notice immediately. Multitrack said.

Genma took a closer look at the bait, and if he didn't look closely, it was really difficult to find that the bait was missing. "Could it be that the sea will wash away? "Those lures that look slippery and soft should be easily washed away by the sea when you soak in the water.

"No way. The main ingredient in it is the scallop meat, which will not be blistered, and must be dried by starfish. Maybe the starfish are still in the shallows. Saying that, the multi-track turned to Genma: "Take back the carp king." ”

"Hmm. Come back to the king carp. Genma guessed the idea of multi-track, so he took back the carp king.

"Come back, Mohaima, Jenny Turtle. Multitrack retrieved the Mohaima and Jenny Turtle, and then commanded the Lanternfish: "Lanternfish, use 100,000 volts for the beach." ”

The lanternfish nodded, climbed onto a reef, and then lowered the tentacles above its head into the water, and an electric current immediately spread out in the water.

"Is it already gone?" said unwillingly as the multi-track watched the lantern fish emit electricity for a long time, but still did not respond. "Lanternfish—" said the lanternfish to stop their skills.

"Don't stop yet. Genma stopped the multi-track, "This beach is too big, the power is dispersed, it should be able to hold it if it is there." ”

"Alright, lanternfish, increase the current output!"

The lanternfish responded, and discharged even harder, and the starfish hiding in the water really couldn't help it, and jumped up violently, breaking away from the charged seawater.

"Sure enough, it's still here!" Genma looked at this sea star whose body had turned sand-yellow, this guy was really cunning, and he actually used the protective color to change to the color of Sha Yiyang, and deceived everyone.

The starfish that jumped out of the sea reacted quickly, spewed a water gun out of its mouth, flew up with the force of recoil, and fell into the depths of the sea and disappeared.

"Oh no, let it run. "Genma didn't expect that the starfish would be so cunning and would run away in this way.

"It's okay," Multitrack wasn't in a hurry at all, "it's not that easy to escape." In order not to affect the taste, I didn't add paralyzing agents to the bait, but I added a lot of firefly scale powder. This thing is made from the shell of a shellfish that is very popular with starfish and gemstone starfish. Once they eat this powder in their stomachs, at night, their whole body will sparkle, and if you follow the light, you can easily find starfish. ”

"Look, there it is. Multitrack pointed to a blue ball of light in the distance, clinging to the bottom of the water.

"Multi-track, you're amazing!" Genma exclaimed sincerely.

"Of course, I'm a genius!" said Multitrack proudly.

Although there is a guarantee, the two of them don't dare to be careless, after all, in the vast sea, if the starfish run too far, it will be difficult to find, then today's efforts will be in vain. The two immediately ordered the elves to chase in the direction of the starfish's escape.

As soon as the sun begins to set, the light dimms very quickly, and the glowing starfish in the already dark waters is quickly locked, but the cunning starfish escapes again. But this time, the elves didn't panic and chased after the light source again.

After a few times, the starfish also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately pulled the elves in a circle, and disappeared after crossing a shoal. When Genma and Duo Track chased after them, what they saw was a group of little guys who were so anxious that they were spinning in place.

"So when you chased here, the starfish jumped out of the sea again, and then disappeared. Genma asked.

The main force of the tracking, Jenny Turtle and Carp King, nodded.

"Could it be that the scale powder has failed?" asked Genma to Multitrack.

"No, not so fast. The reason starfish and gemstone starfish love to make shellfish that are made into glowrose is because this shellfish allows their gemstones to shine brilliantly all night long. The effect of firefly powder made of shells is more long-lasting, and it takes about two or three days to fade. Multitrack shook his head, "But strange, where is it hidden? Is there a dark ditch in the sea nearby?"

"Probably not, the elves saw the starfish fleeing in the air and did not fall back into the water. Genma dismissed the multi-track speculation. "Maybe think about it in a different way. ”

"What a line of thought. ”

"We've all always thought of a starfish as a water-type Pokémon, but what if it doesn't indicate water-type Pokémon?"

"Huh?" "How can a starfish not be a water-type Pokémon? Even if there are more super powers, they will evolve after that!

"I felt it just now, the sea water at night is more affected by the cold sea, the temperature is much lower than during the day, this temperature starfish is unbearable, but it has lived here for so long and it is fine. ”

"Maybe there's something special about it?" Multitrack didn't understand the connection.

"No, it has other warm places to hide. Genma said affirmatively, without waiting for the multi-track question, and continued: "During the day, the four Pokémon patrolled together, and they didn't find out when the starfish approached the bait, although the starfish used a protective color, but it was too difficult! ”

"What?"

"That's right, it must be so," Genma became more and more sure of his guess after a moment of reasoning, "The skill of Protective Color can not only change the color of the starfish, but also change its properties according to the environment. If it changes itself into other attributes, then it is not difficult to move on land either, which is why I say that it is not just a water-based Pokémon. At this time, the starfish may be hiding on land!"

"Come out, Bigmouth Bat, use ultrasound waves to find the starfish!" Genma released a largemouth bat that is suitable for night activities, "Although it can be active on land after changing its attributes, the starfish as a mollusk must not be able to run far on land, so look for it." ”

The large-mouthed bat took the lead and constantly fired ultrasound waves into the ground carpet, so that it could not only find things, but also attack the starfish.

As the large-mouthed bat's ultrasound swept over a pile of bushes, the sound signal reflected from the bushes became abnormal. Immediately afterwards, there was a movement in the bushes.

"That's it, large-mouthed bats, cut using air. ”

The wings of the large-mouthed bat flapped, and the blades of the wind shot into the bushes, slicing through the shrub's messy branches and leaves, revealing starfish that had been confused by ultrasound.

"Large-mouthed bats, use high-speed stars first, then use vampirism if it's not enough. "Because it is the elf that he is about to subdue, Genma did not let the supersonic bat use a poisonous attack, but replaced it with the strongest single attack skill of the large-mouthed bat.

The large-mouthed bat first sent out a wave of high-speed stars to attack, and seeing that the starfish had not completely lost its combat effectiveness, another one swooped down and bit the starfish fiercely, but looking at its expression, Genma knew that the starfish's blood was very unsuitable for its taste, after all, compared to warm-blooded animals, the starfish's cold body was more appropriate to say that it was a body fluid.

Finally, the starfish fainted, Genma threw out the Poké Ball, sucking the starfish into it, and the starfish that had fainted was recovered without any resistance!
