Pokemon Dawn
52 After crossing the turbulent waves, I caught a glimpse of the sky
The last twilight of the sun also disappeared at the end of the horizon.
As night falls over the sky, waves begin to rise in the dark ocean. The wind whistled outside the window, but it couldn't blow through the thick clouds overhead that blocked the starlight.
This level of bad weather is not enough to shake the giant steel cruise ship. It still drove resolutely on the fixed route, carrying passengers to the next island. However, for the boat riders, the residual impact caused by the waves hitting the hull was already uncomfortable enough.
Considering that the shaking of the ship's hull may bring the risk of falling into the sea, the deck has been blocked by staff and passengers are prohibited from stepping on it. The banquet hall on the first floor also closed early. Not to mention whether the passengers could eat under such circumstances. Even if the glasses were stuck to the table, the wine in them would probably be spilled all over the floor.
There was another queue to receive medicines in front of the infirmary, and people who were more tolerant of seasickness went back to their rooms to fight off the discomfort with sleep.
The trainers didn't dare to let the Pokémon out and sleep together in the guest room like yesterday unless they wanted to spend the whole night cleaning. Fortunately, the Poké Ball isolated the dizziness caused by the shaking, and the Pokémon quickly fell asleep on the trainer's pillow.
The lights were extinguished one by one on the dark night cruise ship, and silence gradually enveloped the Sea Lieyan Horse.
Xiao Ye almost never gets dizzy in transportation, and she quickly fell asleep on the slightly bumpy boat. In a daze, she suddenly felt as if her body was suspended for a moment. The habit of quick alert brought by her previous life saved her forehead. Almost subconsciously, she grabbed the railing beside the bed and narrowly stabilized her body without hitting the wall.
The Poké Balls on the pillow were shaking and scattered all over the floor, and the Pokémon's heads were filled with question marks that had been rolled over. Xiao Ye quickly jumped out of bed, fished the Poké Ball back in two or two, put it back on her belt, and then ran to turn on the light.
The cruise ship was rocking so violently in the wind and waves that the distance from the bedside to the light switch was only a few meters, and Xiaoye almost hugged the edges of the wardrobe. After finally letting the warm yellow light illuminate every corner of the room, Xiaoye saw that her roommate had also gotten out of bed and had just picked up the last Poké Ball on the ground.
Xiaotian looked at his friend who always reacted faster than him in emergencies. Before he could ask a question, Xiaoye shook his phone knowingly and reported: "It's 3:10 in the morning. The signal has been intermittent. , can’t find the weather forecast, but I think there will be a ship-wide broadcast soon.”
Before he finished speaking, the rustling sound before the broadcast started sounded in the guest room.
A gentle male voice informed the passengers in an unhurried manner that the cruise ship was currently experiencing relatively large waves. Although there was no danger for the time being, in order to prevent falls and injuries, passengers were urged to stay in their guest rooms and rest and not go out. Those who are injured or feeling unwell can use the intercom phone to contact the staff, and crew members will go to each room to assist with treatment.
Amidst the looping sound of the ship-wide announcement, Xiaoye and Xiaotian walked to the window and looked out.
It was pitch black wherever he looked, and he could only vaguely see the waves rolling on the sea surface with a cold light. The sound of the howling wind penetrated the walls and glass, and was still distinct and clear when it reached the ears.
"Xiaotian, is this something that often happens when traveling by boat?" The new sailor blinked and looked at his companion.
"I can guarantee that it is not." The sailing experienced person gave a firm and powerful answer.
The waves were so big that the passengers on the boat could not walk as usual. This was obviously not a phenomenon caused by normal weather changes. It was more like a typhoon hitting them head-on. However, they had all confirmed the weather information before traveling. There were no typhoons passing through the Orange Islands recently.
The radar monitoring system on each cruise ship monitors the weather conditions in nearby waters in real time and constantly corrects the course to avoid bad weather. Since the Sea Lieyanma failed to avoid the wind and waves, it means that its range may be too large, or
This "typhoon" happened suddenly
The current flaming horse is bouncing like a live flaming horse jumping over the Tokyo Tower. Even Xiaotian, who is used to riding Pokémon, is starting to feel uncomfortable. Xiaoye noticed the condition of her companions at a speed that was in line with her own reaction level. She immediately took out the reserved seasickness medicine from the bedside drawer and handed it to Xiaotian.
"Are you okay?" The boy took the pills but did not take them immediately.
"Of course." Xiaoye looked at the Charizard on her waist with her eyes wide open, looked at the trainer and explained tactfully, "You know, I often fly on the Charizard."
Xiao Tian:""
When the three of them flew from the alliance capital to the Orange Islands together, Charizard's "trainer's brain-like spiral circle" once again came to mind vividly. He swallowed his heart full of ellipsis and swallowed the pill without saying a word.
Soon, the cruise ship once again started the ship-wide broadcast, and this time the announcer became the captain himself, hoping that trainers who were in good health and willing to help would gather in the banquet hall. This fresh instruction made Xiaoye, a new sailor, have her mind filled with spiraling questions like a fire-breathing dragon, and she even imagined a scene like the Titanic. Of course, Xiaotian quickly extinguished her friend's excessive sense of crisis.
"This is just a common practice for ships in the Orange Islands." Xiaotian said.
According to fellow experiencers, whenever a cruise ship in the Orange Islands encounters bad weather, they will always request all trainers on the ship to assemble in the name of the captain, and briefly assume the responsibility of protecting other passengers in critical moments. Of course, in fact, cruise ships rarely encounter In the event that the safety of passengers is endangered, the escort force of the ship's staff is completely sufficient. This move is just to reassure the passengers and satisfy the enthusiasm of the trainers in the southern country who never want to help others.
As expected, trainers, both young and old, gathered in the banquet hall in twos and threes, chatting and laughing while staggering around, showing no signs of worry. The crew also prepared boxes of snacks and snacks in advance and told the regular guests with a smile that it was a fantasy to threaten the cruise ship with just such wind and waves.
Trainers from the Southland have more or less experienced riding Pokémon across the sea, and they all say that their Gyarados or Lapras are a hundred times bumpier than a cruise ship. Only this group of people's appetites were not affected by the wind and waves, and they swept away the snacks and drinks on the table like a whirlwind, which amazed the two trainers who were born in Kanto.
As the most energetic professional group in the world, trainers are certainly not content to sit here eating and drinking. After filling their stomachs, they go around asking if they need help. The crew members were also unceremonious and dispersed to various parts of the cruise ship with the labor force bought with a meal to clean up the items messed up by the waves.
Xiaoye and Xiaotian also seamlessly integrated into the group of trainers from the Southern Kingdom, and went to the infirmary to sort out the shelves of medical supplies that had been dumped on the ground. When the ship's doctor was short of manpower, Xiaotian helped bandage some injured passengers with medicine. The huge medical kit he carried was too complete and received unanimous praise from the ship's doctors. Although the reviewers thought about how this thing changed The big ones just want to sigh and can't laugh at all.
While helping, the crew finally understood the general situation of the weather change through intermittent signals and informed the trainers.
"This sudden weather change covers a large area. I heard that the entire Orange Islands and southern Kanto's climate has become abnormal. In some places, it rains heavily one minute and becomes sunny the next minute." The crew member was very excited. He said, obviously he has not encountered such strange things very often, "The source of the change seems to be near the intersection of ocean currents in the middle of the Orange Islands. We will only know what happened after the wind and rain pass."
The trainers looked at each other. One of them said the first reaction in everyone's mind without thinking: "Kyogre has swam to us."
Xiaoye pondered over and over again the words "the intersection of ocean currents" and "the middle of the Orange Islands", looking thoughtful.
"What?" Xiaotian tilted his head.
"I'm thinking that Asia Island should be considered the middle of the Orange Islands."
"Yes."
"So it's not Kyogre, it's Lugia."
Looking at his friend's confident look, Xiaotian felt like he saw three fire-breathing dragons flying in circles in front of him.
"Um"
The minute hand of the clock turned twice silently.
Normally, the eastern horizon would have begun to light up, but now dark clouds were oppressing the sky, and the gloomy feeling made it almost impossible to understand the passage of time.
The wind and waves intensified, but the cruise ship did not shake more violently than before. The crew sent their own water-type Pokémon to guard the ship.
The white sea lion, the electric lamp monster, or the giant-winged flying fish are all good at sea rescue. They work together to spread a huge water circulation, shrouding the cruise ship in the center. Although it cannot completely eliminate the turbulence, it can at least reduce the shaking.
Many tourists' Pokémon also joined in. Although there is no way to tacitly integrate into the "fixed ship team", at least the small fish and shrimps that are dizzy by the waves can be washed away to prevent them from interfering with the work of the crew's Pokémon.
The cargo on the ship has been packed neatly, and the broken pots and pans have been cleaned up. The trainers who had finished their work gathered in the third-floor hall. The view here was better than that on the first floor. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows allowed them to clearly see the outside.
"This wave is really big. My hometown is on the beach, and I have never seen such a big wave since I was a child." A local trainer who sent a horned goldfish to help sighed.
"It's a pity that we are a little far away, otherwise I really want to see what happened in the eye of the typhoon."
As soon as the young man said this, a group of people laughed and booed, saying noisily, "It's not too late to get into the water now. You might be able to see the tip of Kyogre's tail when you get there." Until someone turned to look ahead and said hesitantly, "Is that wave too high?"
People turned around.
A white line appeared on the turbulent sea level. In the howling wind, the white line approached the cruise ship at an alarming speed. Until it got closer, people realized that its height was twice as high as the surrounding waves, and it was almost overwhelming towards the cruise ship.
"It's a killer wave"
This kind of sudden long swell often comes without warning and is extremely destructive, so it is widely circulated among sailors. Hundreds of years ago, it was even a sea devil that sailors talked about. When the height of the waves exceeds the head, even the giant steel wheel becomes smaller. Unknown how many people screamed in panic and instinctively squatted down to find cover.
However, there are also experienced trainers who still have calm expressions. They just grabbed the tables and chairs fixed on the ground for the first time, and then cast their sights forward.
In the rolling sea water, hordes of water-type Pokémon, like ocean guards, rose. The seawater beneath them rose out of thin air and became part of the spear through condensation and confluence.
A few seconds before the killer wave hit the cruise ship, the huge wave in the opposite direction was like an arrow, piercing towards the water curtain ahead.
The huge impact sound was weakened layer by layer by the steel hull and soundproof glass, but it still sounded like thunder in people's ears.
The "surf" formed by combining the escort power of the entire ship did not confront the power of nature head-on. Instead, it formed an upside-down V-shape, easily dividing the oncoming water curtain into two halves, allowing them to flow smoothly. The force pours to both sides, just like the traces of the saints who left the legend of dividing the sea in ancient times. The huge waves are cut off from it, the magnificent water curtain is divided into two, and the vision suddenly becomes clear in an instant.
The young man who had made such arrogant remarks could not help but open his mouth. Before he could say the words of exclamation, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something bad, "Wait a minute, the left side, the front left side is about to collide."
The collision of the two waves caused a turbulent aftermath, and one of them rushed straight towards the ship and was about to hit the side of the ship. The trainer next to him might have been hurt by his shouting. He sighed, stood up suddenly, and opened the window.
Wind and rain poured in from the windows, but the skilled sailors tacitly braved the rain and rushed to the windows. Xiaoye saw that many of them were holding conch-shaped whistles.
Before the collision, a high-pitched conch sound sounded in unison.
Perhaps the sound was too loud, and for a while even the sound of wind, rain and waves faded from the ears, leaving only the cry of the horn echoing on the sea.
The next moment, a dazzling beam of light from the front left tore apart the gloomy sea.
Compared with the Pokémon on the crew, including water cannons, water waves, and even destructive rays, the tourists' partners have no tacit understanding, their moves are uneven, and their positions are crowded with each other. They even almost knocked out a small companion. Squirt out together. But when the sound of the conch sounded, they still all aimed at the enemy of the tentacled Sea Flame Horse cruise ship and their trainer in the vast ocean.
Through the wind and rain, Xiao Ye dimly saw that her Gyarados was among them, and the golden light reflected its eyes brightly. And Water Eevee stood on top of its head, and the water flow ring spread out in all directions, so that the partners who completed the sniper attack together would not be washed away by the sea current.
The girl was stunned, then turned to look at her companion. Sure enough, he had just put down the conch whistle in his hand.
"It can transmit sound to the depths of the water. Even in a storm, Pokémon can hear our instructions." Seeing his friend looking over, Xiaotian explained lightly.
The trainers in the southern country are already celebrating for joining forces to break a wave, regardless of the fact that dancing in the bumpy boat will cause them to get bruised and bruised. The crew member standing by the door shrugged, and finally smiled too.
That was just the aftermath of the "clearance of shipping lanes". Even if it collided with a cruise ship, it would be impossible to shake the steel giant in the sea. At most, it would be bumped twice, leaving it smashed and chewed on the mud, with food on the forehead. It's just a big bag. Since you can deal with it, why not make the passengers on the ship more comfortable?
Trainers are such nosy creatures.
As time goes by, the waves on the sea gradually decrease. The sea breeze no longer roars, and its strength becomes more and more gentle, caressing the cruise ship coming from the depths of the waves.
The ship gradually stabilized, and passengers began to run out of the guest rooms out of curiosity, huddled with the trainers and poked their heads outside. Occasionally I stumble and don’t feel ashamed.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
The dark clouds surrounding my head finally cleared. The first ray of sunlight shines on the sea, reflecting dazzling waves like a declaration of victory after a fierce battle.
When the sun fell, deafening cheers resounded on the Sea Flame Horse.
