The Pokémon in front of us is also a Ghost type Pokémon, and its name is Dhelmise, which Professor Sakuragi just mentioned.
Don't be fooled by the fact that his anchor and rudder are made of steel into thinking he's Steel type Pokémon. The seaweed wrapped around the rudder and wheel is actually his true form, making the Dhelmise Ghost type / Grass type.
That's why Ghost type is said to be the strangest type, as it is attached to an inanimate object, and the two become one to create a Ghost type Pokémon.
What's the deal with the Pokémon Dhelmise?
This is a very obscure Ghost type Pokémon; many people have never even heard of Pokémon.
Not only is it uncommon, but it's also extremely difficult to catch; in the game, it can only be caught in one region of Alola.
It has no evolutionary form, only the Dhelmise. Its total base stats are 517, with 131 Attack which is more than enough, and 70 HP, 100 Defense, and 90 Special Defense which are not low either.
Although its speed is only 40, it can be paired with its own Dusclops to form a Trick Room team, making it a decent Trick Room attacker.
In addition, it has its own unique skill Anchor Shot.
Skill: Anchor Shot
Skill effect: Entangles the opponent with an anchor and attacks, preventing the opponent from escaping.
Just like the Shadow Tag Ability, it can prevent the opponent from using moves to leave the field or from being recalled by the Pokémon Trainer Poké Ball.
If Shadow Tag is like binding the opponent's soul, then Anchor Shot is like physically locking the opponent in place, preventing them from leaving the field.
A Steel-type Pokémon with an Ability is essentially like Dhelmise with Ghost type, Grass, and Steel STAB moves for damage output.
Returning our attention to the S.S. Anne
Roy seemed to understand where the crew's piercing Growl came from; it was the sound of the Dhelmise starting up as it swung the anchor.
Legend has it that the Dhelmise would even throw the anchor into the deep sea, where it would swing back and forth like a giant anchor to ambush its prey.
It can capture creatures like Wailmer and the enormous Wailord, and even dares to provoke Wishiwashi in their Schooling form.
After subduing its prey, the Dhelmise can use the green seaweed entangled in the anchor to Snatch and Absorb the prey's life force.
The truth is now out.
All the strange phenomena that have recently occurred on the ship are the work of the Dhelmise.
The fish caught by the anglers, as well as the fish I caught myself, were probably intercepted by the Dhelmise and used to absorb their life force.
But what's with the poison on the fish we caught? The Dhelmise doesn't have Poison type or Poison type skills.
That's not right either; the Dhelmise should only suck up fish and not eat them.
Unable to figure it out, Roy decided to subdue the Dhelmise in front of him first.
I watched the Dhelmise absorbing Pokéblock.
According to the Pokédex, Dhelmise's height is 3.9m, but the one in front of me must be at least 5.5m tall.
They're almost as tall as Dynamax Snorunt.
Moreover, this doesn't even include the length of the chain directly connecting the rudder and the anchor. The Dhelmise throw the anchor up shows that the chain is at least as long as the ship's hull.
Just as the captain was about to order his Pokémon to attack Dhelmise, Roy stopped him.
"You all wait here, I'll go alone."
Roy told everyone to stay where they were, and then went up to the deck alone.
The captain turned on the ship's lights, shining them specifically in front of Roy.
Professor Sakuragi quickly took out his camera and started taking pictures of Roy and the Pokémon on the ship. Apart from the Pokédex, this was the first time he had ever seen a Ghost type Pokémon.
The Dhelmise, which was absorbing the Ghost type aura from the Pokéblock, became wary when it saw the suddenly appearing human. Its seaweed-like body controlled the anchor, ready to smash it at Roy at any moment.
For some reason, the human's absence had not yet brought him a tremendous sense of Pressure.
However, as Roy got closer, Dhelmise sensed a pleasant scent emanating from Roy.
It was that smell that drove him so crazy that he forgot what he was supposed to do that night and just dropped Anchor Shot on the S.S. Anne.
This is also one of the reasons why Roy dared to go forward directly, because once he consumed the Pokéblock he created, Dhelmise would inevitably be able to sense the Ghost Power originating from him within the Pokéblock.
When Dhelmise sensed the same aura emanating from Roy that was identical to that of the Pokéblock, it was unable to feel any hostility towards Roy. The anchor it was about to throw was now derailed.
The seaweed on the Dhelmise suddenly moved; it turned out that Roy had sent a message to him through Mind Communication.
"Don't be afraid, Dhelmise, I mean no harm."
"Rudder!"
Dhelmise couldn't understand why Roy could speak into his mind.
Seeing that Roy could communicate with him and said he wouldn't hurt him, Dhelmise's guard completely disappeared, and he used the chain to retrieve the anchor.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Roy approached the Dhelmise.
The Dhelmise could only smell the wonderfully pleasant scent emanating from Roy, which had even made him smell sweet.
He no longer harbored any desire to attack.
He let Roy come to his side and clean the coral fragments and seaweed hanging on his anchor.
After the Dhelmise finished off the Pokéblock on the deck, it realized there were none left and became somewhat dejected; it wasn't even full yet...
Roy naturally saw this scene. The one thing he didn't have to worry about most about his Pokémon was food, so he took out a box from his Spatial Bracelet and handed it to Dhelmise.
Seeing that there was still food, Dhelmise immediately stretched out a piece of seaweed and carefully took the Pokéblock from Roy's hand.
"Rudder!"
"This is all for you to eat. If it's not enough, I have more here!"
Dhelmise felt like he had arrived in heaven; Roy was an angel, and his words just now were like a "gospel."
After Dhelmise crafted about 10 more boxes of Universal Ghost-type Pokéblock for Roy, it finally stopped.
His appetite was almost the same as his Dusclops.
