## Chapter 114: That Fleeting Keldeo
Just like that, Bai Feng and his group traveled on the Dinghy, following the Map given by Zhi Huo, sailing all the way on the Sea. They drifted like this for two days and two nights.
Gyarados swam quickly and steadily, so Bai Feng basically didn't suffer much along the way. Listening to Brionne and the others sing a song from time to time, or calming down to Meditate and train his Psychic abilities, the Time just flew by.
That day, Bai Feng had just finished Meditating when he suddenly Discovered that the Sky was starting to darken.
"It looks like it's going to rain!"
As Water-type Pokémon, Brionne and Gyarados were very sensitive to changes in the Sea weather. Hearing Bai Feng's words, they immediately nodded in agreement.
Bai Feng took out the Map, looked at it for a while, and said to Gyarados, "There should be a Small Island nearby. Let's go there to rest and reorganize before setting off again."
"Roar~"
Gyarados nodded, then began to speed up its swimming. However, before they could arrive at the Small Island, a light drizzle began to fall from the Sky.
Fortunately, it wasn't a Storm, and Bai Feng could still handle it. He took out the Waterproof Tent from his Space Backpack, propped it up, and covered the top of the Dinghy with it, so the Rain wouldn't get them wet.
This Tent was also specially prepared by Fuyu. It wasn't used for camping now, but it served as an Umbrella.
Actually, Bai Feng had also brought an Umbrella, but it was too small and couldn't cover the Dinghy at all.
Just as Bai Feng and the others thought they would soon Smoothly arrive at the Small Island on the Map, Gyarados outside suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Bai Feng quickly pulled open the Tent and went outside to check the Situation. He saw that their Dinghy had somehow been surrounded by a group of Qwilfish.
The Qwilfish, covered in spikes, were bumping against Bai Feng's Dinghy, making ping-pong sounds. Bai Feng felt helpless. "What are you doing? How did I provoke you?"
Seeing this, Bai Feng had no choice but to look around the Dinghy for the Reason the Qwilfish were attacking them. Then he saw a clump of Seaweed trailing behind his Dinghy, with a small Qwilfish tangled in it.
Well, there's the Reason!
Bai Feng was truly speechless. "I didn't do it on purpose! Besides, couldn't you just break the Seaweed and rescue the small Qwilfish? Why bother a passerby like me?"
Just as he was about to walk over and pull off the Seaweed, he suddenly heard a cracking sound. Then he felt his feet sink, and he fell directly into the Water.
Not only did Bai Feng fall into the Water, but Brionne, Bai Ye, Kricketune, and Chatot on the boat also fell into the Water one after another, because the Dinghy was broken, shattered into pieces by the Qwilfish's bumping.
Because the Tent was covering them, Chatot and Kricketune, who had intended to fly up, were also covered and plunged into the Sea. Fortunately, Brionne, who could swim, pulled them out of the Tent in Time.
As for Bai Ye, it had already used Teleport to get onto Gyarados in time, and also casually pulled Bai Feng out of the Water.
The destruction of the Dinghy angered Bai Ye. It immediately covered the Qwilfish with Psychic. Soon, the Qwilfish one by one turned onto their white bellies (they had just fainted).
Without the Tent and the Dinghy, Bai Feng and the others were quickly soaked like drowned chickens. It was December, and the Weather was very cold. Bai Feng's lips were frozen purple.
Just then, a huge Black Vortex appeared not far from Bai Feng and the others. A Simple-looking Ghost Ship slowly sailed out from it.
Whose could this be but Mismagius and their ship?
When Ghost-type Pokémon gather in large numbers, they create a special Energy Field. This Energy Field distorts space, providing a place of shelter for Ghost-type Pokémon, and can also serve as a means for them to hide their traces.
This is the Reason why Ghost Ships on the Sea appear and disappear mysteriously and often trigger Spirit Legends.
Originally, Bai Feng thought Mismagius and the others had left, but he didn't expect them to have been following behind them all along.
Not long after the Ghost Ship appeared, Bai Feng saw Ghost-type Pokémon floating out from it. They flew to Bai Feng and his group, taking them onto the ship.
Finally having a place to shelter from the rain, Bai Feng quickly took out a dry towel to wipe the Water off himself and his Pokémon.
After changing into a fresh set of Clothes, Bai Feng finally felt like he was alive again. Just then, Mismagius also appeared before him.
Bai Feng asked doubtfully, "You've been following me all this Time?"
"Muma~" Mismagius nodded.
"Why are you following me?" Bai Feng didn't understand.
"Muma~ Muma~ Muma~" Aren't you looking for Milotic? I want to go too. A Milotic that you would go to such lengths to find must be extraordinary.
Milotic has the ability to calm the Emotions of living Creatures. Mismagius felt that perhaps it could find a way to help Misdreavus recover from Milotic, which is why it had been silently following behind Bai Feng. Today, seeing Bai Feng and the others in trouble, it finally showed itself to rescue them.
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng thought, "That's right." The Milotic he was looking for was the one Sister Zhi Huo asked him to find. Could a character that a Veteran Author like Sister Zhi Huo was concerned about be Simple? Maybe it really did have the ability to heal Misdreavus.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng asked again, "How is Misdreavus doing now?"
"Muma~ Muma~"
Hearing this, Mismagius shook its head with a sad expression. Then it looked at Bai Feng as if it wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Muma... Muma~" Can you... can you let your Chikorita...
Before Mismagius could finish speaking, Bai Feng guessed what it was going to say next, so he quickly refused, "No, it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. What's the use even if it recovers for a while?"
It's not your child, so you don't feel the pain, right? Frequently losing Leaves also takes a toll on Chikorita. Before, it was unavoidable, but there's no need now.
Hearing Bai Feng's refusal, Mismagius was a little disappointed, but it didn't force the Matter. Just as Bai Feng said, treating the symptoms doesn't solve the root cause, and temporary recovery wouldn't Change anything except adding to the disappointment.
"Since you want to come with us to find Milotic, can we hitch a ride on your Ghost Ship?" Bai Feng asked.
"Muma~"
Mismagius nodded. If it didn't want you to ride the ship, it wouldn't have let you come up just now.
Under the arrangement of Mismagius and the others, Bai Feng and his group were given a Room on the Ghost Ship. Although there was nothing inside, it was more comfortable than sitting on the Dinghy. At the very least, the Wind couldn't blow on them, and the Rain couldn't wet them.
Bai Feng also went to see Misdreavus. It was still in a state of frenzy, wanting to attack anyone it saw, so it was still kept by Mismagius in the Cover obtained from the Weather Research Institute.
It was indeed quite pitiful. He hoped Milotic could really help it.
The light drizzle continued all night and gradually stopped in the early morning. When the morning Sunshine shone through the Cloud Layer, Bai Feng finally felt what warmth was like.
Ghost-type Pokémon disliked bright Sun Light, so they were all hiding in the ship's cabin at this Time. Only Bai Feng stood on the Deck, breathing the fresh Air after the rain.
Just then, he suddenly heard a "tap-tap-tap" sound, followed by the sight of a small yellow horse happily running on the Water, creating Waves on the calm Sea surface.
Behind the small horse followed a group of Finneon and Luvdisc. When the Finneon and Luvdisc leaped out of the Water, illuminated by the Sunshine, their Bodies emitted colorful light, looking very beautiful. They truly deserved the Title of Beautifly of the Sea.
Bai Feng felt like he had watched a free Pokémon Contest performance.
The small horse ran very quickly. In no Time, it disappeared from Bai Feng's sight, along with the Finneon and Luvdisc.
It took Bai Feng a long Time to come back to his senses. Was that Keldeo just now?
He hadn't expected that simply getting up early to breathe some fresh Air would allow him to see the Legendary Pokémon Keldeo.
It was a pity that Keldeo's Speed was too fast. Bai Feng hadn't even gotten a clear look before it disappeared. What a Regret.
Keldeo's appearance was just a small interlude in Bai Feng's Journey. Afterward, Bai Feng continued towards his destination on the Ghost Ship. The Ghost Ship's Speed was much faster than the Dinghy.
Two days later, Bai Feng looked at the Map in his hand and said to Mismagius, "We should be arriving soon. I just don't know if we can Smoothly meet Milotic."
Milotic is a living Pokémon! Who knows if it's Home right now? If it's not... just thinking about it makes me feel like spitting Blood.
"Muma~ Muma~" Then let's speed up!
Mismagius was even more anxious than Bai Feng. With a command from Mismagius, the Ghost Ship suddenly accelerated under the control of the Ghost-type Pokémon. Bai Feng could feel the whistling sea wind brushing past his cheeks.
In reality, there was no Wind on the Sea at that moment.
About an Hour later, the Ghost Ship entered a new Sea Area. However, just as Bai Feng and the others entered, Rain started falling from the Sky.
Rain again? Bai Feng was stunned. He looked up at the Sky and saw the Sun still hanging high Above.
"Ang!!!"
Just then, Bai Feng and the Pokémon suddenly heard a Dragon Roar. Immediately after, a patch of Dark Clouds gathered in the Sky not far away. Golden Lightning flashed continuously within the Dark Clouds.
The Dragon Roar Bai Feng and the others had just heard seemed to come from beneath that patch of Dark Clouds.
As the Ghost Ship got closer to the Dark Clouds, the Rain in the Air also became more urgent. Bai Feng and the others gradually saw what kind of Pokémon was beneath the Dark Clouds, emitting the Dragon Roar.
A Dragonite.
The Dragonite was constantly moving back and forth on the Sea surface, while Lightning kept striking down from Above its head.
At first, Bai Feng and the others couldn't see what was controlling the Lightning to attack Dragonite. But as Dragonite used the Hurricane Move to tear open a corner of the Dark Clouds, Bai Feng and the others finally Discovered that a black and yellow Bird Pokémon had been moving through the Dark Clouds all along.
That was a Wattrel.
Wattrel is a relatively common Pokémon on the Sea, but this one actually had the ability to confront a Dragonite, and seemed to be making Dragonite somewhat frustrated.
The Reason was that the Wattrel's Speed was simply too fast, and it could also control the lightning and rain Weather to conceal its Body, practically making Dragonite run in circles.
Both Pokémon had great Strength, and the Influence of the battle was immense, yet it blocked Bai Feng and the others' necessary path. So Mismagius had no choice but to stop the Ghost Ship, planning to wait for them to finish fighting before continuing forward.
Dragonite was probably pushed to its limit by Wattrel's guerrilla tactics. It raised its head to look at the Sky, and a golden Energy ball suddenly condensed in its mouth.
The next Instant, the golden Energy ball shot into the Cloud Layer like a cannonball and exploded with a boom. Countless Meteors fell from the Sky, and the entire Sky full of Dark Clouds was instantly blown away completely.
The Sky suddenly became bright.
However, the exploding Meteors were still continuously exploding in the Air like fireworks. Wattrel probably didn't expect Dragonite to suddenly use a powerful Move, and was caught off guard. It could only flee frantically as the Meteors fell.
Fortunately, its Speed was fast enough, and its movements were agile enough, allowing it to turn danger into safety every Time.
Bai Feng and their Ghost Ship were also inevitably affected by Dragonite's Draco Meteor. Shattered Meteor fragments almost hit the ship's Body several times, but fortunately, Mismagius blocked them in Time.
Bai Feng stood beside Mismagius, trembling with fear at the spectacle, afraid of being hit by the Stones covered in fire.
Just then, he heard a thud from the Deck not far away. A blue object had fallen there.
"What's that?" Bai Feng asked doubtfully.
"Muma~ Muma~" I don't know, it looks a bit like a Pokémon.
Mismagius shook its head and replied.
Bai Feng walked over, picked up the unknown object, and looked closely. It really was a Pokémon.
It was a Swablu curled up in a ball. Because its pure white and soft Feathers were soaked by the Rainwater, it had become a veritable drowned Chicken, so its original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
The Swablu was already unconscious and had obvious scars on its Body. It should have been affected by Dragonite's Draco Meteor. Moreover, due to the double blow of Rainwater and low temperature, its Body was still shivering even though it was unconscious.
Bai Feng found Bai Ye and had Bai Ye use a Healing Wave on it. He also squeezed Juice from a Berry and fed it to the Swablu, then used a Towel to help dry its Feathers, and finally tucked it into his embrace to warm it up.
By the Time Bai Feng finished treating the Swablu, the battle between Dragonite and Wattrel was still ongoing.
Because Wattrel's Speed was too fast, although Dragonite's Draco Meteor penetrated the Cloud Layer, it didn't actually cause effective damage to Wattrel.
So Wattrel entered taunt mode against Dragonite, constantly using Quick Attack for close-quarters harassment. Its Speed was already fast, and with the Quick Attack enhancement, Dragonite couldn't hit it with Dragon Claw, couldn't hit it with Ice Punch, and still couldn't hit it with Dragon Tail.
Wattrel's taunting continued.
"Come on, hit me! Keep using Draco Meteor!"
Wattrel was flying almost right next to Dragonite. How could Dragonite still use Draco Meteor? Would it smash itself to death too?
"Roar!!!!"
Dragonite roared to the Sky. It probably finally couldn't stand the taunting anymore, so it initiated a mutual destruction strategy. It slapped the Sea surface with both hands, using the Hurricane Move to stir up endless Waves, then opened its mouth and spat out countless bone-chillingly cold Cold Air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
A strong Wind began to blow on the Sea, followed by a large amount of ice and snow.
Dragonite used the Blizzard Move.
Because it was used centered on itself, the Blizzard submerged both Dragonite and Wattrel within it.
It was now severe winter. Dragonite, being a Dragon-type and Flying-type Pokémon, was originally extremely unadapted to this kind of Weather. Now that it had stirred up a Storm, if it wasn't uncomfortable, who would be?
