"It's Tentacool! So many Tentacool, they're everywhere!" Jessie shrieked.
At that moment, the flower vinegar Raj had secretly placed on their ship fell into the sea.
The Tentacool near Team Rocket's ship immediately lost their fighting ability and floated painfully on the surface of the ocean.
But then one Tentacool angrily leapt out of the sea and fired a red jewel-like beam from its head, blasting Team Rocket's ship to smithereens. After that, its whole body glowed white and it evolved into a Tentacruel.
However, this Tentacruel was a whopping ten times larger than a normal Tentacruel.
The crowd on the beach began to scatter and flee.
"This is incredible. Although there are Pokémon that can grow beyond their normal size, I've never heard of a Tentacruel growing this big. It's absolutely astonishing," Brock exclaimed.
[Ding, system notification: A giant Tentacruel has appeared 100 meters ahead on the sea surface.
Tentacruel: Water-type and Poison-type Pokémon. The evolved form of Tentacool. Its countless tentacles are its most powerful weapons. It is nicknamed the Sea Thug, and one must be careful because Tentacruel's poison is extremely potent.
Known moves: Acid, Light Screen, Reflect, Bubble Beam, Hydro Pump, Waterfall, Psybeam, Toxic, Psychic, Bind, Poison Jab.
Combat power: 8000.
Additionally, there are thousands of Tentacool in the nearby waters, and this giant Tentacruel is their leader.
System notification: Due to the Host's actions, the original order of this world has been altered, triggering a hidden quest: Help restore the world's order to normal. Please assist Ash and his companions in dealing with this matter.
Otherwise, if the world's order is disrupted, chaos will ensue, and you will be abandoned and hunted by the entire world.]
The system actually let out a mocking sound.
"Is it really that serious? I only knew that in the anime of my previous life Ash and his friends faced an attack led by a giant Tentacruel. I didn't expect that now it appeared because of me. This is troublesome," Raj sighed while rubbing his forehead.
"So it's the leader of the Sea Thugs," Ash said while looking at his Pokédex and watching the giant Tentacruel destroy the foundation of the floating restaurant Old Lady Nastina had built.
"You can't do this, Tentacruel!" Misty shouted.
"You hateful creatures, how dare you destroy my restaurant! Attack, attack! Make the restaurant go back to normal!" Old Lady Nastina roared.
Old Lady Nastina then fired two rockets from a rocket launcher, but they did not harm the giant Tentacruel and only left a dent on its soft exterior.
After sensing the attack, Tentacruel looked at Old Lady Nastina. Then large numbers of Tentacool rushed from the sea onto the land, and the giant Tentacruel caused a massive tsunami that surged toward the city.
"Misty, hurry and run! What are you still standing here for?" Raj and Ash pulled Misty's arms.
"I want to stop the Tentacool from doing something foolish!" Misty said.
"Idiot, a tsunami is coming! Run first! What can you do if you lose your life?" Raj said while pulling her away together with Ash.
After everyone gathered inside the tallest building in the city, the massive tsunami carrying countless Tentacool surged into the streets.
The colossal Tentacruel swung its huge tentacles, lifted an elevated platform, and threw it directly into the city's amusement park, sending dust rising everywhere.
Meanwhile countless Tentacool fired red jewel-like beams from their heads and caused widespread destruction to nearby buildings.
"This scene is practically a real-life Attack on Titan," Raj muttered to himself.
"Pikachu, you're up!" Ash said while looking at Pikachu.
After seeing Tentacruel destroy an entire building with one swing of its tentacles, Pikachu immediately hid behind Ash.
"Ash, what are you thinking? How can you possibly fight such a behemoth?" Raj said.
"I'm going to stop them!" Misty said excitedly.
"Wait a moment, look!" Brock said while pointing at Tentacruel.
Tentacruel's tentacles wrapped around Team Rocket's Meowth, and then a Tentacool wrapped its tentacle around Meowth's head. Meowth's eyes turned red as he was controlled.
"We are Tentacool and Tentacruel.
You humans have destroyed our home this time.
So we will destroy your homes in retaliation.
No one has the right to blame us."
After speaking, the giant Tentacruel swayed its body as countless Tentacool fired red jewel-like beams from their heads again.
"Their dwelling place is the construction site of that restaurant."
"That's right. It's the coral reef," Brock said.
"So that's what Horsea was trying to say. I couldn't understand its intention. As a Water-type Pokémon Trainer, I'm truly useless," Misty said dejectedly.
"Danger! Hurry and move!" Raj pulled Misty aside while dodging a tentacle swung by Tentacruel.
Horsea suddenly rushed forward and began speaking urgently beside Tentacruel.
"Is that you, Horsea? No matter what you say this time, I will absolutely not give up on this matter. I want those humans to know the sorrow of having their home destroyed," Tentacruel said.
Horsea shook its head desperately.
"Such a spineless attitude like yours will only make humans more and more arrogant, Horsea," Tentacruel said angrily.
Horsea cried out loudly in response.
"You say we Tentacool have no backbone? Then don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!" Tentacruel said before swatting Horsea away with a tentacle.
"Beedrill, quickly rescue Horsea!" Raj released Beedrill to retrieve Horsea.
"Horsea, I'm sorry. Thank you for doing this for humans!" Misty cried while holding the injured Horsea.
Seeing this, Pikachu suddenly stood on Ash's hat.
"Pikachu, are you willing to fight? That's great! Then concentrate all your strength and attack!"
"Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Butterfree, Pidgeotto."
"Starmie, Staryu, Goldeen."
"Haunter, Muk, Beedrill, Tentacool, Magikarp."
"Go, Zubat."
Pikachu used Thunderbolt to repel most of the Tentacool. Pidgeotto and Butterfree used Gust. Zubat used Supersonic. Bulbasaur used Vine Whip. Squirtle used Water Gun. Staryu and Starmie used Confusion.
Beedrill used Pin Missile. Muk used Sludge Bomb. Haunter used Dark Pulse. Raj's Tentacool stepped forward to persuade Tentacruel, while Magikarp simply bounced on the ground.
At that moment Misty secretly ran toward the high platform, and Raj followed to assist her.
At the same time Raj heard constant system prompts and knew Haunter and the others had succeeded. Before releasing them he had already instructed them to secretly absorb Tentacool during the chaos to strengthen themselves.
[Ding, Haunter successfully devoured Tentacool, combat power +5.
Muk successfully devoured Tentacool, combat power +6.
Beedrill successfully consumed Tentacool, combat power +5.]
Because Raj had warned them not to absorb excessively and not to reveal their strength, they carefully avoided attracting attention.
"You are Pokémon. Why are you standing with humans?" Tentacruel said angrily while knocking Raj and their Pokémon aside one by one with its tentacles.
"You stand with humans. Even though you are Pokémon, you are also our enemies."
At that moment Pikachu, Pidgeotto, and Raj's Tentacool stepped forward and urgently spoke with Tentacruel.
"Are Tentacool trying to persuade Tentacruel?" Brock asked.
"Pikachu, Tentacool, it's up to you," Ash said while clenching his fists.
Suddenly the negotiation collapsed. Pikachu roared angrily and Tentacruel struck him away with a tentacle. Raj's Tentacool was also slammed violently onto the shore but continued resisting.
At this moment Misty, with Raj's help, finally climbed onto the high platform.
"Stop! Tentacruel! Please take everyone back into the sea!"
"Tentacruel, please go back. Humans already understand your intentions. We will never destroy your homes again," Misty said sincerely.
Tentacruel lowered its head and looked at the panicked humans below and the pleading humans on the platform who nodded repeatedly.
"Please, Tentacruel, go back quickly."
"Next time it won't be this simple. You must remember that well," Tentacruel said before throwing Meowth away.
Afterward Tentacruel led the swarms of Tentacool back toward the ocean depths.
"Damn it, the Tentacool actually dared to disrespect humans!" Old Lady Nastina suddenly appeared again.
"Damn it, since that's the case, I'm going to capture all of you and make a fortune!" Old Lady Nastina shouted while firing a submachine gun.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard, old woman!"
Tentacruel turned and glanced at her.
"There's still an ignorant person over there," Raj said while pointing at her.
Horsea immediately used Smokescreen to cover Old Lady Nastina's face.
"Do you still not understand the situation? Your actions have already caused misfortune to both humans and Pokémon," Raj said coldly.
"You brat, you're too arrogant!" she shouted.
Then a shadow covered her.
She looked up and saw Tentacruel standing directly in front of her.
With a single swing of its tentacle Tentacruel launched Old Lady Nastina into the sky where she disappeared like a shooting star.
Just like that Raj and his companions watched Tentacruel swim farther and farther away until it disappeared beyond the horizon.
Old Lady Nastina later landed on the head of her cousin who was rebuilding her restaurant at the pier.
A loud crash followed.
"Long time no see, cousin from the pier."
The restaurant that had just been rebuilt collapsed again.
On the cruise ship heading toward the next city, Brock looked out at the sea.
"That Tentacruel might even be a Sea God."
"You're right. Misty, even after all that, are you still going to say she's cute?" Raj asked with a smile.
"Of course. But right now the cutest one is this Horsea," Misty said happily while hugging Horsea.
On a distant island far away...
"Tell me where you hid the thing you developed. I thought your retirement and your wife's death would teach you a lesson, but you're still stubborn."
"Damn it, still so strong! Dragonite, hang in there and don't lose to him! Use Hyper Beam!" Kenji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Are you still going to resist in vain? You've been retired for many years. I've already taken control of everything in Team Rocket. I'm not an incompetent puppet. The Pokémon you currently possess are not enough to defeat me," Giovanni said as he stepped out of the darkness.
"You can't possibly defeat my Mewtwo. With that little damage you inflict it's simply a fool's dream."
"You'd better tell the truth obediently. That way I might even spare your son's life."
"Heh, I supported you single-handedly back then, and I can also make you lose everything you have now!" Kenji said through gritted teeth.
"Dragonite, use Hyper Beam and finish him!"
"Roar!"
