<h4>Chapter 115: A Pod of Wailord</h4>
After seeing the four unique Pokémon from Sinnoh region, Rand abandoned fishing altogether, setting down his fishing rod and rushing over to the Pokémon.
Although Reggie''s Staraptor and Drapion looked intimidating, they were actually gentle Pokémon. They weed Rand''s approach warmly, as he greeted them.
While Yuga and Reggie were immersed in their fishing, a melodious call echoed from somewhere. The sound wasn''t overly loud, but it resonated across the water''s surface like an echoing ripple, drawing several passengers out to investigate.
As everyone searched for the source of the sound, a massive blue Pokémon leaped out of the ocean in the distance, creating a ssh as itnded.
The resulting ssh resembled blooming flowers on the sea''s surface, capturing everyone''s attention.
As the water settled, a powerful water spout shot out from the massive Pokémon''s blowhole. Yuga then recognized its identity—the Wailord.
Truly living up to the title of thergest Pokémon, the Wailord seemed like a blue ind, floating on the water''s surface. It was a testament to the creator''s artistry.

As more Wailord surfaced, one after another, a breathtaking sight emerged—dozens of them gracing the ocean. Alongside them, Wailmer also emerged, their massive numbers forming a spectacr disy on the water''s surface.
One Wailord suddenly let out a roar, followed by a towering water spout. As if a switch had been flipped, all the Wailord and Wailmer joined in, creating a harmonious symphony of deep, resonant calls.
Countless water spouts soared into the sky, scattering droplets and mist that refracted colorful rainbows in the sunlight, dazzling the passengers on board.
Although the Wailord and Wailmer were numerous, when they sang in unison, their deep, melodious voices weren''t overly loud or jarring. Instead, they exuded a sense of serenity and mystique.
Yuga thought to himself that such a vast assembly, even if submerged in the deep sea, should hold dominion. Being able to witness this spectacle was truly rare.
Even seasoned sailors, ustomed to the sea, might not have witnessed such a grand pod of Wailord.
Wailmer and Wailord were both gentle creatures, often aiding stranded humans at sea. This set them apart from the likes of the "seafaring rogues" Sharpedo and Gyarados.
Once the pod of Wailord had exchanged breath and resurfaced, they gradually dived back into the sea, continuing their journey beneath the waves. The "Wave Breaker" nearby went unnoticed.
Wailord and Wailmer were ssic examples ofmunal Pokémon, but witnessing a gathering of such magnitude was truly umon. The fact that their leader was exceptionally powerful likely contributed to their harmonious coexistence in the ocean.
As the pod of Wailordpletely disappeared beneath the sea''s surface, the ship''s passengers sighed with amazement, feeling that their horizons had expanded and their journey was well worth it.
Watching the Wailord depart, Reggie eximed, "This world is truly amazing, with so many things we haven''t seen waiting for us to explore and discover."
Yuga nodded, "Indeed, it''s a world of unrivaled beauty."
"We from Sinnoh can''t witness such a massive group of Wailord."
Reggie expressed a touch of regret.
Sinnoh had fewer seas and more mountains, with a rtively cooler climatepared to Hoenn. It was indeed rare to find areas suitable for the habitat of Wailord.
Yuga smiled and said, "But Sinnoh has towering mountains and snow-covered peaks that Hoenncks. Aside from certain ces, the Hoenn region doesn''t haverge-scale Ice-type Pokémon either. Each region has its unique characteristics."
"True!"
Listening to Yuga, Reggie happily agreed, his tone revealing pride in his homnd.
Turning to Rand, Reggie continued, "If you ever get the chance to travel to Sinnoh, you''ll get to seendscapes and Pokémon that Hoenncks. There''s the precipitous Mount Cor, the beautiful and clear Lake Verity, the Eterna Forest teeming with Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon... I''m sure you''ll love it."
Mentioning Sinnoh seemed to open up Reggie''s floodgates of speech. He proceeded to share numerous tales and anecdotes about Sinnoh region with Yuga and Rand. He discussed how people used small Swinub to locate hot springs, how they traversed steep snowy mountains while riding on Mamoswine, and the color differences between Shellos and Gastrodon in the Eastern and Western Seas of Mount Cor.
Reggie was quite knowledgeable about Sinnoh region. His understanding wasn''t solely due to his hometown; he had personally explored various ces in Sinnoh.
However, a person''s home didn''t necessarily mean they would understand it deeply. For example, Yuga hailed from Hoenn, but his knowledge of the region was still mostly based on the animations and written descriptions from his previous life. He couldn''t truly be considered well-versed in Hoenn.
Reggie''s anecdotes captivated both Yuga and Rand, not only broadening their horizons but also deepening theirprehension of this world.
The ship arrived at Goldenroad City''s harbor on the fourth evening, a bit quicker than the anticipated five days. Over these three days, Yuga and Reggie got along famously. Reggie''s good nature made him an ideal friend to have.
During this time, Yuga also had the chance to meet Reggie''s grandfather, a kind and gentle old man. Yuga couldn''t help but suspect that Reggie''s personality might have been influenced by his grandfather. He wondered how his younger brother, Paul, had developed into the awkward person he eventually became.
Because the four of them shared the same destination, they continued to travel together.
