The torrential rain brought by the Rain Dance skill poured down, and dense raindrops, like silver arrowheads, shot down onto the cargo ship's deck, splashing up layers of water.
Not only the heavy rain, but also the extreme weather communicated with the ocean currents, causing the cargo ship to sway violently in the surging waves, as if it could be swallowed by the sea at any moment.
Fortunately, Dhelmise's anchor at the bottom of the sea had locked the cargo ship in place, otherwise it might have been pushed off course by the waves.
Rainy Day not only boosts Water-type Pokémon, but also provides different enhancements for Flying-type and electric-type skills, especially for Hurricane and Thunder. The concrete manifestation is that in the game, their accuracy increases from 70% to 100%.
The cargo ship had already been washed over by the torrential rain brought by the Rain Dance skill, the entire ship was drenched in rainwater, and there was also Electric Terrain created by Rotom on the ship.
As long as an electric-type skill hits the cargo ship, the electricity will be directly transmitted throughout the entire cargo ship via the rainwater, attacking both people and Pokémon indiscriminately.
In fact, this was precisely Zhang Lei Yuan's tactic; he not only wanted to control this cargo ship but also to paralyze the entire cargo ship, turning it into a lamb to be slaughtered.
The Team Leader immediately reacted and ordered, "Those with Grass-type and Fire-type Pokémon, and those who can use Sunny Day, quickly use the Sunny Day skill to seize control of the weather!"
In fact, the Team Leader also knew the difficulty was too great, but he had no better solution; he could only try anything, even if it seemed futile.
However, the people on the deck had strong execution; they were all in the same boat now, and if they weren't united, they would die.
On the deck, Grass-type and Fire-type Pokémon were all chanting the prelude to the Sunny Day skill, with faint Fire-type energy swirling around them, mostly from their own bodies. However, it had little effect; the Fire-type energy could not stabilize its condensation, being restricted by the heavy rain.
The idea was very good, but impractical. Although in the game, slower Pokémon can overwrite weather, in reality, it's a competition of control over elemental energy, and the difficulty of casting different weather skills varies depending on the environment.
For example, being out at sea now, Water-type energy is abundant, and the difficulty of releasing Sandstorm or Sunny Day will greatly increase.
Moreover, nearly fifty or more Water-type Pokémon were using the Rain Dance skill. This situation cannot be covered by simply having a few Pokémon use Sunny Day.
"Dhelmise, Rollout, destroy the Electric Terrain!"
Dhelmise stood on the swaying cargo ship deck, its metallic parts gleaming coldly in the dim light.
At the Team Leader's command, Dhelmise began to use its Rollout skill. Its body was enveloped in Steel-type energy, transforming into a metallic, shimmering iron ball that rolled across the deck, each roll sweeping away some of the electricity from the Electric Terrain.
The electric arcs dancing in the Electric Terrain also seemed to sense the threat and began to flicker uneasily.
Rollout, a Steel-type physical attack skill, has a formidable power of 130 in the game, but its prerequisite is that there must be a field present on the battlefield.
Attacking opponents while destroying the field, combined with the Steelworker ability, will certainly cause heavy damage.
Zhang Lei Yuan, riding on Kilowattrel's back, looked coldly at Dhelmise using Rollout, and commanded loudly in the wind and rain: "You won't make it in time, Ampharos, Thunder!"
Ampharos was already prepared, just waiting for its Trainer's command. Its body instantly erupted with dazzling golden electrical currents, which, like mad pythons, weaved through the rain and surged directly into the dark clouds above the sky.
Suddenly, within the dark clouds, Thunder surged, and bolts of lightning, like supersonic missiles, each precisely struck the cargo ship.
At the same time, the crackling sound of Thunder Shock, accompanied by the screams of enemies and Pokémon, echoed in the wind and rain. Many people twitched and collapsed, lying straight down. Only a few resistant to electric-type attacks, such as Grass-type and Ground-type Pokémon, managed to hold on.
Even the Steel-type Pokémon that had been plundered in the ship's hold were also affected by the Thunder skill, resulting in some casualties.
However, Zhang Lei Yuan did not care about these. Although he was also a doctor, he would not be a bleeding heart; if a Pokémon's aptitude was insufficient, or its luck was poor, then it died.
"Dhelmise, conduct the electricity into the sea."
Dhelmise reacted quickly under the Team Leader's command, abandoning the Rollout skill and returning to the Team Leader's side.
It connected its anchor-like shell to the ship's hull, forming a conductive barrier. Most of the current was directed into the sea through the seaweed, causing no damage to the Trainers.
"Crustle, Fury Cutter."
Crustle was also enduring the electrical interference from the Thunder skill, its body beginning to tremble violently. Insect-type energy accumulated in its pincers, and then it slid towards Ampharos. The Insect-type energy in its chest pincers materialized into emerald green light blades, striking Ampharos's body.
Fury Cutter, an Insect-type physical attack skill, has a particularly powerful effect: its skill power doubles with each successful hit.
Ampharos nimbly jumped to dodge, but its movements were slightly sluggish due to the rain-soaked deck.
Victreebel's Trainer had been knocked unconscious by the powerful electrical shock of Thunder, and the Team Leader took over Victreebel's command.
"Victreebel, use Razor Leaf to cover Crustle!"
Victreebel opened its massive maw, and countless sharp leaves, like green flying knives, whistled out in the wind and rain.
Bang, bang, bang ~ Dense leaves, like flying knives, cut towards Ampharos, and Crustle's Fury Cutter skill also followed closely.
"Enough."
As Zhang Lei Yuan spoke, a swift bolt of lightning fell directly from the thick clouds in the sky, striking Crustle's already battered body. The large rocks on its body shattered, emitting plumes of black smoke, and it was struck down by the lightning, dying.
"Since you don't want to live, there's nothing I can do. Before I want to reveal its true form, everyone who has seen it must die!"
After that fatal lightning bolt struck, the battlefield fell into a temporary silence, with only the torrential rain still pouring down, drumming on the cargo ship's deck.
The Team Leader on the opposite side widened his eyes, staring in horror at the head, which was gradually becoming clear, materialized from electric-type energy in the clouds, convinced in his heart that it was the legendary Raikou.
"This... how is this possible? How could Raikou appear here?" His voice trembled noticeably, and the Pokémon beside him also seemed to sense that overwhelmingly suffocating power, stirring restlessly.
The mysterious Pokémon, shaped like Raikou, slowly emerged from the clouds, with cloud-like ruffs around its neck. Crackling electric arcs surrounded its body, each arc seemingly containing enough power to destroy everything.
Its majestic gaze swept over everything on the cargo ship, as if pronouncing a death sentence.
The moment Dhelmise felt this power, it tried to activate the Protect skill, but in front of the mysterious Pokémon, its efforts were like an ant trying to shake a tree.
A thick bolt of lightning instantly struck Dhelmise, and the powerful current instantly melted its metallic body. It didn't even have time to let out a cry of agony before it completely collapsed on the deck, becoming a pile of charred scrap metal and tangled seaweed.
Seeing the dire situation, the Team Leader turned to flee, but his legs were already firmly grasped by Rotom…
