What could he call it other than a Sea Dragon?

Kai grinned, holding his breath. For others it could have been an unlucky encounter, he thought, leveling himself to the Pokemon's eyes. But for me, it is nothing short of a blessing.

It was indeed a blessing. An opportunity. And, yes. A prey.

ROAR!!!

The beast roared. Look at me! It seemed to cry. Look at me, you puny thing!

The sheer amount of Mana surrounding the Pokemon overwhelmed Kai.

He stared at it, taking in its every curve. It was over 20 ft long with a serpentine body covered in overlapping scales. It was mostly blue with a yellow underbelly, and its mouth was large and gaping, bearing four pointed teeth and yellow lips. Its small red eyes seemed to pulse like gurgling lava, and on its head, there was a three-pointed, dark blue crest.

Its entire figure spoke of a tale of violence, rage, and destruction.

Kai knew this Pokemon.

It was in his Pokedex.

Gyarados!

The dual Water-Flying type Pokemon. Evolution from a worthless fish causes changes in its brain structure, resulting in its violent nature. Its magical scales are harder than steel, and it's known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies since ancient times. That's why, in some regions, Gyarados is called the Deity of Destruction.

Kai recalled the information, a familiar greed boiling in his heart.

The Pokemon thrashed its tail, sending strong, bombastic waves toward him. Yet, even Gyarados could barely match Golduck-Kai's speed this deep in the water. He kicked and pushed the water, easily dodging the attack, and was about to lunge at it for a long, brutal fight, when a silver mist burst out of him.

-It's mine!- Selene hissed threateningly. -Haha! Hahaha!-

Kai heard her maniacal laugh and knew Selene's own destructive personality had taken over her mind.

For a 4th-floor Contestant to have this Pokemon, Kai thought, reflecting for a moment, this particular Gyarados' grade couldn't be higher than D+. Hmm...

-/Don't kill it,/- Kai told her telepathically, grinning. -/I need it./-

Not waiting for a reply, he banged his tail, stirring himself in the galley's direction, and fired himself towards it like a bullet. The water glided around him, and even before the Pokemon could notice, he had run out of sight. A roar and a hiss hidden behind it reached his ears, making his grin even more demonic.

This would be a genuine test of Selene's newly gained Skills and Abilities, he knew.

And if she couldn't show him a favorable outcome, then she would do him a favor by dying here now.

When Kai leaped out of the sea, the air was sizzling with furious shouts and cries of victory.

The entire deck was strewn with 3rd-floor Contestants, he guessed. Some had their longswords out, waiting for the galley to reach Actaea before taking action. Some were holding bows, arrows nocked, and waiting for the orders to let them loose. They all seemed to be a disposable force given to the Pokemon Trainer in place of ordinary laborers.

Kai even saw at least three with wands, pointing at Meg, and chanting some incomprehensible spell.

Like a phantom, he landed in between them.
