Chapter 125 Learning to Fish
"Great! You're in luck. Don't rush to pull it, walk it for a while."
"It will be much easier to pull the fish up when it's tired."
Ten seconds later.
...This is a mosquito coil tadpole.
Not bad at all, being able to catch such a water-type Pokémon.
As soon as it leaves the water, the crossbowman immediately attacks the brave bird and captures it in one swift motion.
Ye Kai didn't want the elf; he gave it to Zhao Qian and his companion as a thank you for teaching him how to fish.
"Take a look at this."
A 3-fold brochure listed a wide variety of elves in detail.
There are quite a lot of Pokémon that can be caught here.
The most common type is the Magikarp, the Whac-o-Taiba.
From Mariule to Groudon, the starter Pokémon Mudkip, and the extremely rare Feebas.
Of course, there are also some strange and unusual things.
Some anglers can catch anything except fish.
Some people have even managed to catch prawns, beavers, and even swans and large wolfhounds in the river...
Ye Kai just glanced at these stories.
He needs to practice his fishing skills intensively in a short period of time, since today is Wednesday.
The fishing tournament starts next Wednesday, so there's still a week to go.
Thinking this, Zhao Qian also caught something.
It is a Magikarp.
"What a huge Magikarp!"
It's quite counterintuitive that Magikarp's standard length is 0.9 meters.
The fish that Zhao Qian caught was a full 1.2 meters long.
It's quite big.
"Hey buddy, are you selling this Magikarp?"
In the end, Magikarp was sold for 28.
It seems that being a good fisherman can be quite lucrative!
Four hours later.
He was initially stubborn and wanted to try using lures again.
Then they gained nothing.
Now I finally believe it; the previous explanation was just that I was lucky.
According to Zhao Qian, some fish and aquatic creatures have the habit of "baiting".
Only such Pokémon are likely to take the bait.
"What do you mean?"
"To put it bluntly, these elves can't tell what the things in front of them are for a while, but they are very reckless. They eat first and see what they can eat, and if they can't eat it, they spit it out."
"This habit is usually seen in carnivorous Pokémon and some ferocious fish, such as Megalodon, Sharptooth Fish, and King Catfish..."
After the explanation, he understood.
Fishing with artificial bait is something for experts; what is a novice thinking?
Since that's the case, let's switch to real fish bait.
In less than ten minutes...
Ye Kai finally experienced the joy of catching fish, first a straight goldfish, then a large pincer crab!
Of course, this is the result of wasting a lot of bait and frantically baiting the area.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoting caught a rare giant tongue clam.
The large clam was quickly bought by other onlookers who were fishing.
It sold for 92.
This is already a considerable achievement.
Zhao Qian, on the other hand, caught a small lobster soldier.
"Scizor, Bullet Punch!"
The fish had just broken the surface of the water when it tried to cut the fishing line with pliers.
The scyther's silvery iron fists gleamed, and with one punch, it brought the creature to the brink of death.
Then it quickly got dark.
Everyone sold all the fish they could.
What's left that can't be sold is dinner.
The nature reserve here has a large hotel that specializes in preparing these delicacies.
"Looks like we'll have to rely on luck then."
Ye Kai muttered to himself.
"There is definitely an element of luck involved. When we were unlucky, we wouldn't catch a single Pokémon all day."
Zhao Qian and Wang Xiaoting were also expressing their feelings.
Zhuang Su is really cunning; she actually used this method to select challengers.
A good angler isn't necessarily a good fighter.
A skilled trainer might be good at fishing.
In this way, she, the dojo master, saved herself some effort.
Not only can the number of dojo members recruited be reduced, but their own working hours are also compressed to 1-2 days.
"Come and try this shrimp claw! It's incredibly delicious, you absolutely have to try it!"
"I still prefer the taste of wild sea bass. The flesh is chewy and it's perfect for making boiled fish and fish with pickled cabbage."
Ye Kai listened to the two arguing about the taste of the seafood without saying anything.
He's not a picky eater, and now is not the time to worry about that.
It would be quite difficult to win by luck alone.
I brewed a beer and then broke off a crab leg.
The spicy flavor is quite addictive.
We can only take it one step at a time.
For the next few days, Ye Kai stayed close to the Senhai Nature Reserve.
The catch of fish is increasing.
It's another morning.
It's almost lunchtime, and all I've caught is... a small fish?
"Double-shot gas, 100,000 volts!"
It was because 100,000 volts had no effect on Ubo that he discovered he had caught this thing.
"Cross-shaped Bat with a cross-shaped poison blade and steel wings!"
The cross-bat flapped its four wings and flew up and down, and soon Wupo was beaten to the point of near death.
He skillfully threw the ball and caught the Pokémon.
Unfortunately, it's not a subspecies of the poison type.
Finally, this Wobo was sold for 68 to another angler in the neighborhood.
Although only one elf took the bait, it was still worth some money.
Indeed, patience is essential for fishing.
Time quickly came to 2 p.m.
Time flies when you're fishing!
Many people grabbed a handful of water-based energy cubes and stuffed them into their mouths.
This is a very common fish food, and it's quite fresh.
If he had to describe the taste, it was similar to the shrimp chips he had eaten in his previous life.
Because when fishing, you can catch something at any time.
Therefore, anglers often don't have time to eat, for fear of missing the chance to catch a fish.
So everyone has developed the skill of using water-based energy blocks as their staple food.
"Ya-dong!"
That voice sounds so familiar.
It's Slowpoke?!
Holy crap, is it even possible to catch Slowpoke in this place?
Isn't that a huge profit?
It's worth noting that Slowpoke is considered the top-tier fish among many high-level catches.
Of course, this elf itself is also a fishing expert.
Their tails are the best bait and fishing rods.
perhaps……
You can use the rules!
After all, the fishing tournament only allows one Pokémon to be brought.
This Pokémon can assist the trainer during fishing.
While it's described as a support role, its main function is simply to handle battles after catching a Pokémon.
If he sends out a Slowbro...
No, if we're talking about Slowbro, then wouldn't Exeggutor also be an option?
You should know that the Exeggutor also has a head on its tail, and it can communicate with others; Ye Kai has tested all of this.
Fine, I'll try Slowbro first.
"Ya-dong!"
As soon as the Slowpoke emerged from the ball, it skillfully entered the lake and then lazily floated on the surface.
It is a water spirit by nature, and this place is perfect for it.
Ye Kai tried to make it catch fish.
Then the Slowpoke just stares blankly.
As Ye Kai expected, he couldn't control the Dumbshell Beast, but he could control the Snail Shell.
The snail bit the dull-shelled beast, and it began to rouse itself.
This snail-shell is like a hermit crab; it has its own thoughts and a symbiotic relationship with the dull-shelled beast.
Soon, several Pokémon were bitten by Slowbro's tail.
Magikarp, Remora... and another Pokémon whose form was obscured by seaweed.
Ye Kai picked up a branch from the side and used it to clear away the water plants.
With a snap, the branch was broken off by the hard shell.
An unexpected delight.
"Wow, it's a giant tongue clam!"
The Slow-Beast's snail shell was enraged upon seeing the Giant Tongue Shell and smashed its arm until the Giant Tongue Shell was on the verge of death.
This is competing with it for a host, how could we allow it?
Fortunately, the subspecies of Slowpoke needs to bite Slowpoke's arm, not its tail.
"Hey bro, can you sell me this giant tuna clam?"
"Ding!"
After some haggling, Ye Kai finally settled on a price of 93.
Giant tuna are indeed valuable.
It seems that the Slowpoke can save a lot of effort by going fishing.
However, if you use Pokémon to fish, it would probably be considered cheating.
The risk was too great, so he eventually abandoned this approach.
