Chapter 126 Another Fishing Tournament
Chapter 126 Another Fishing Tournament
A week passed quickly.
This week, Ye Kai spent the entire time learning to fish, and he caught more and more water-type Pokémon.
I've gained a lot of experience and knowledge.
The necessary efforts have been made; now let's take it one step at a time.
"Come and collect your fishing rod, bait, and two buckets of tree fruit!"
The familiar scene played out once again.
Soon, all the participants had received their matching fishing gear.
"On your marks, get set... Go!"
The new week's fishing tournament has finally begun.
This time, Ye Kai learned his lesson.
If you can't identify a fishing spot yourself, just look at what other people are doing and follow their lead to fish nearby.
I learned all of this from Zhao Qian.
"Ok?"
The feel of it...
What good luck today! They caught a fish so quickly?
But the weight is wrong.
When they lifted the fishing rod, it turned out to be a tree branch...
Undeterred, he hooked the chopped tree fruit onto the fishing hook again.
Another ten minutes passed.
Some people around caught wild bass, and others caught mud loaches.
Ye Kai remained unsuccessful.
Sweet, is the air force going to be deployed today?!
Suddenly the float shook and was pulled into the water.
coming! !
He prepared to lift the cue stick.
Why does it feel heavier sometimes and lighter sometimes?
Ye Kai gripped the fishing rod tightly; it was likely a big fish.
If we can catch this one, we might as well be guaranteed a spot in the top 8!
"Mm!"
The two sides tug-of-war for about 2 minutes.
This thing finally broke through the water and revealed its true form.
The familiar red body fluttered.
It's numb.
It turns out it's Magikarp!
It's not very big...something's not right!
That doesn't look like a fish at all!
These are two elves!!
This is Magikarp being swallowed by Luna Kindred!
"The Ancient Moon Bird, because it was particularly greedy, tried to swallow the whole, plump barracuda, but ended up getting it stuck in its throat."
No wonder the feel was so weird; it turns out we were playing tug-of-war in this guy's mouth.
The Crested Bird would also work!
"Dull-shelled Beasts, take them down!"
"Ya-dong!"
Slowbro had already maximized its physical attack with Belly Drum, so it could knock out any fish that took the bait!
In a moment of desperation, the Crested Tundra used the Magikarp in its beak as a weapon and hurled it at Slowbro.
But the Slow-Footed Beast wasn't very tanky, and its attack power was average; it easily withstood the attack.
Then the Guyue Bird was knocked so hard it saw stars.
Next comes the capture.
This Ancient Moon Bird is a somewhat dim-witted elf; its combat strength is not low, but its memory is terrible.
All I can think about is eating.
Even the moment it was caught, it didn't let Magikarp go, swallowing it whole!
Regardless, there are still more than 1 hour and 20 minutes left in the game.
With this Pokémon as a safety net, Ye Kai felt confident that he had secured his victory...
Besides, what can be done if things are unstable?
We can only rely on this bird!
This time, there were only 71 participants compared to the last competition.
Few participants do not mean the competition is not fierce.
"boom!"
"Roar!!!"
A giant beast over ten meters tall burst through the water, and the entire lake surface looked as if it had been bombarded, its tranquility shattered in an instant!
"Holy crap! Is it that Roaring Tyrant again?!"
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized something was wrong; the creature was covered in sharp spikes, resembling a meteor hammer!
Ye Kai believed he recognized this guy.
It's a needlefish!!
I never expected there to be needlefish in this lake!
This thing shouldn't exist in China; it was probably introduced to a protected area.
This Needlefish is a whopping 3 meters long, but the person who caught it is no ordinary fish either; the Pokémon that helped them catch it was a Rhinoceros.
No fancy moves, just a straight angle drill, and it was over in seconds.
Then Zhao Qian and others also participated, but they were just fishing for fun.
Two hours passed quickly.
Although Ye Kai caught other Pokémon later, they were either Poliwag or Wishiwashi... none of them were as strong as Crescent Moon.
He decisively chose to use the Ancient Moon Bird in the battle.
In the first round, Ye Kai's opponent was a goldfish.
"Peck!"
"Goldfish, Rippling Water!"
The strength of the Crested Turtle is significantly higher than that of the Goldfish.
It withstood the ripples created by the water's movement and then pecked it away with its beak.
Although the goldfish is low on health, it still has the strength to fight.
"Quickly use the Water Ring to restore your stamina!"
Before Goldfish could even use its attack, Crescent Moon Bird swooped in and swallowed it whole.
"..."
It took a full five seconds before Ye Kai, under Ye Kai's command, finally spit out the goldfish.
"boom!!"
It was like a cannonball, spat out by the Crescent Moon Bird and shot onto the ground, creating a crater.
The goldfish instinctively felt fear, which triggered a stress response, causing it to be frightened to the point of near death.
Now the fish is belly up.
Ye Kai and Gu Yue Niao quickly advanced.
After applying the medicine to Gu Yue Niao's wounds, he quickly started the next match.
This time, the opponent is... a Magikarp.
They won again in less than two minutes.
The lucky contestant who came up with a bye was indeed not very strong.
The enemy in the third round is a lobster soldier.
"Use bubble light!"
"diving!"
Such competitions are boring because the Pokémon are all caught in the wild.
Often, there are only one or two truly useful moves, so it's all about luck.
However, Ye Kai would not be polite to his opponent because of these things.
The Ancient Moon Bird plunged into the water, and the foam beam missed its target.
Just a moment later, the lobster soldier was attacked from behind by the pecking and drilling attack of the Crescent Moon Bird.
After several back-and-forth exchanges, the lobster soldier was outmaneuvered, struggled to defend himself, and was ultimately defeated.
Ye Kai thus advanced to the quarterfinals.
We can finally put fishing on hold for now.
"Come back, Ancient Moon Bird!"
He handed the Poké Ball over to the gym staff.
Tomorrow is the dojo competition, I need to prepare well.
This is his sixth badge to try.
In other words, he will face Zhuang Su's five elves!
After watching Zhao Qian's match, he didn't think this battle would be easy.
The lineup for this battle will consist of roughly these few animals.
Weezing, Crobat, Salamence, Slowbro, Toxapex!
The next morning.
"Hey?"
"..."
Ye Kai answered the phone without saying a word, then finished the rest of the milk.
"what happened?"
Zhao Qian was a little curious.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"I was the first to compete in the dojo tournament."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoting and Zhao Qian were both taken aback.
It seems that the owner of this water-themed pavilion is giving Ye Kai special "care".
They deliberately reserved their strongest form for him.
The three quickly headed to the Water Gym.
He pushed open the door and entered the battle room.
He had only watched Zhao Qian's matches before, so he didn't have a deep understanding of them.
At this moment, the entire venue appears to be a water-blue world.
Countless water-type Pokémon watched the battle between the two through reinforced glass.
This venue is also larger than ever before.
Unlike other dojo owners, Zhuang Su did not hire other dojo fighters.
So the entire battle room belonged to her alone.
"Next up is the Dojo Challenge, featuring Liancheng's apprentice trainer Ye Kai against Dojo Master Zhuang Su!"
"Since the challenger already has 5 badges, the gym leader will only send out 5 Pokémon."
"The match will continue until all of the other side's Pokémon are defeated!"
The match began immediately after the referee read out the rules.
"Well, I specially reserved this first match for you, Ye Kai."
Ye Kai didn't say much.
"Come on, Big-billed Gull!"
"Double-shot gas!"
When the Pelipper appeared, nothing happened.
Zhuang Su frowned slightly.
Damn chemical change gas!
"Use the tailwind!"
"100,000 volts!"
I was planning to apply all sorts of buffs first.
If they send out the Thorn Dragon King again, Ye Kai will be in big trouble!
