He had originally thought Enel would choose to pay Dimensional Coins just like Ash. He had not expected the former to actually choose equivalent exchange. This made Rin Aokawa feel exceptionally happy.
Thus, Rin Aokawa sat up straight.
Since he had accepted the benefit, he naturally had to handle the matter properly, didn't he?
So Rin Aokawa began making a video for Enel about the strongest Electric-type Pokémon—
Pikachu!
Not long afterward, just as Enel was gloomily chewing on his second apple, Rin Aokawa's video was delivered to him.
Looking at the video before him, Enel frowned.
This video had better not disappoint him.
After all, he had paid with his most important Mantra ability.
If it disappointed him, or if he felt it was not worth the price, then he, Enel, would definitely angrily board the Ark and go straight to the uploader to question him!
After gathering all his thoughts, Enel decisively clicked on the video.
In an instant, Enel's thoughts were pulled into a void-like space.
It was very similar to Ash's, yet not quite the same.
After all, Ash had paid Dimensional Coins, while Enel had chosen equivalent exchange. How could Rin Aokawa possibly treat them exactly the same?
He had to give Enel the best experience.
"Inventorying the strongest Electric type—Pikachu!"
As a voice suddenly rang beside his ear, Enel was caught off guard, and the scene shifted to a grassy field.
Not far across from him stood a bright yellow Pokémon. Its tail resembled a lightning bolt.
It was none other than Pikachu.
"Pikachu, with a mortal body, standing shoulder to shoulder with gods!"
Oh?
Hearing the words beside his ear, Enel immediately felt as if he had been insulted. Even his gaze became unfriendly.
"Pikachu, use Electro Ball."
"Pika, Pika!"
A voice that was impossible to tell as male or female rang beside his ear. Then, following Pikachu's response, Pikachu clenched its tiny fists and puffed up its cheeks. At this moment, fine golden arcs of electricity began spreading across its entire body.
In the next second, those golden arcs gradually formed one Electro Ball after another, each the size of a sandbag, floating in midair above Pikachu's head.
One Electro Ball might not be much.
But what about hundreds, even thousands?
"Pika, Pika!"
Pikachu shouted again.
Then, hundreds of Electro Balls shot toward Enel at high speed along unpredictable trajectories, directly sealing off every space around him.
Boom, boom, boom!
As each sandbag-sized Electro Ball fell, it exploded beside Enel like a tiny missile, directly swallowing the careless Enel within.
And what was terrifying was that the explosion of one Electro Ball immediately caused the surrounding Electro Balls to explode as well.
At this moment, even Enel, who called himself the incarnation of lightning, could not absorb all of it. He was directly overloaded.
After a round of explosions, the dust gradually dispersed, revealing Enel at the center.
At this moment, he no longer looked calm and carefree like before. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If he could, he would definitely greet the uploader's entire family.
Originally, he had thought it was only a video effect.
He never expected that the damage caused by the Electro Balls was actually real.
And it directly attacked his consciousness.
This made Enel suffer a huge loss right away.
"Pikachu, continue attacking. Use your electric arc ability."
Before Enel could even open his mouth to speak, that voice of unknown gender once again gave Pikachu a command.
Then, Pikachu actually ran toward Enel at high speed. Moreover, visible arcs of electricity trailed behind it along the way.
This time, Enel no longer dared to be careless.
He directly raised his hand and launched birds formed from lightning, attempting to knock Pikachu down while it was charging toward him.
The idea was good.
But no matter how fast a human's consciousness was, how could it be faster than an animal running on four legs?
Not to mention that Pikachu was currently using the power of electric arcs to accelerate.
With no other choice, Enel could only transform into electric current and instantly flash backward, trying to widen the distance between himself and Pikachu.
"Pikachu, release electromagnetism at the same time."
Hearing this, Pikachu immediately cried out loudly.
Then, in the next second, it actually relied on the repulsive force created by electromagnetism to instantly launch itself toward Enel. Its speed was several times faster than before.
Seeing this, Enel's eyes lit up.
So lightning could be used this way.
It seemed this video truly was worth it.
Just as Enel's thoughts wandered, Pikachu had already arrived beside him.
Then, Enel heard a calm voice.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt plus Thunder!"
Afterward, golden lightning danced wildly across the sky, directly drawing thunder down from above.
In the end, all Enel saw was a burst of dazzling light…
When the light scattered, Enel also woke up.
His consciousness had returned to Skypiea once more, but at this moment, he said nothing at all.
He had no choice but to admit it.
These creatures called Pokémon truly were extraordinary.
Of course, what made Enel admire it even more was that this video had truly been worth the price. Through just one video, it was as if a new door had opened before him.
Now, he could be said to have changed from a passerby into a fan of Rin Aokawa!
On the other side, a young man wearing a scarf while leaving his chest exposed sat blankly by a river.
Just now, he, Natsu, had also received a message from Rin Aokawa.
Like Enel, he had chosen the second option.
Then, he was shocked to discover that a portion of his scarf was missing.
One had to know, in Natsu's heart, the thing he cared about most was that precious scarf.
Now that a portion of it was missing, his entire mood became gloomy.
As for Rin Aokawa, who received the scarf, he was somewhat surprised.
He knew that Natsu's scarf was no ordinary item.
It came from the scales of the one known as Natsu's foster father, the Fire Dragon King.
That was why Rin Aokawa worked extremely carefully to make Natsu's exclusive Fire-type Pokémon video.
As for Fire-type Pokémon, the one that left the deepest impression on Rin Aokawa was naturally Ash's Charizard.
Very soon, the video was completed.
Then, it was sent to Natsu.
Actually, while Rin Aokawa was making the video, he added a bit of mischievous humor.
At the time, he was thinking that Natsu's foster father, the Fire Dragon King, looked quite similar to Charizard.
And if there was one difference, it was the color of the scales.
Thus, with that wicked sense of amusement, Rin Aokawa forcibly changed Charizard's skin color to match the Fire Dragon King's.
Moreover, he was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction Natsu would have after seeing Charizard.
On Natsu's side, a video suddenly appeared before him.
Then he impatiently clicked on it.
After his vision turned dark, Natsu unexpectedly discovered that his consciousness had arrived in a region filled with magma and volcanoes.
Across from him stood a giant dragon with wings on its back and a small flame burning at the end of its thick tail, standing proudly.
This was the Charizard that Rin Aokawa had specially designed for Natsu!
Seeing the familiar image of the giant dragon across from him, Natsu could not help but blink. Then he subconsciously opened his mouth and asked,
"Could you be… my foster father's illegitimate son?"
