Under the dreamlike power of flight, nearly everyone had been drenched to the bone, but they soon made it through the storm and reached their destination: a remote little island teeming with strange sea lions covered in white fur and sporting horns.

If they got aggressive, a whole group of white sea lions like this could make any intruder regret trespassing on their territory!

[Seel, a Water- and Ice-type Pokémon that lives in groups. Its entire body is covered in snow-white fur, and it has a single sharp horn on its head.

But Annie had immediately asked Uncle Toriko and Uncle Komatsu from that gourmet world about it. After learning that sea lion meat was usually tough and often had a strong fishy smell, and that it didn't taste nearly as good
