Chapter 433 Fishing Master and Mienshao

Milililong held his head high and looked cutely at the human in front of him with his eyes open.

Naoki looked at the Poké Ball containing the Fish Pokémon next to him, thinking that such a docile Mililion shouldn't need to be put into the Poké Ball, right?

After thinking about it, he put the Mililong into a small bucket of water next to it.

"Just stay here obediently!"

With a splash, Mililon slipped into the bucket.

Naoki turned around and continued fishing. During this period, he looked back and found that it was really waiting obediently in the bucket.

Milililong only exposed half of his head from the water and looked outside.

Not to mention, Mililon's appearance is quite cute.

Naoki smiled at it, then turned around and continued to concentrate on fishing.

The fishing tournament continues.

At this time, a huge splash of water suddenly sounded from a girl in a short skirt not far away.

The surrounding fishermen all turned their heads to look, and saw a huge, fat catfish Pokémon jumping out of the water.

"Oh my God! After Takeru Sato and Naoki, another person who caught a fish Pokémon is born!"

"I wonder if Contestant Minglan can hold on and conquer that Chihouba! Come on! Contestant Minglan!"

Onlookers on the shore cheered and cheered for the girl named Minglan.

But the strength of the Chihouba was simply too great, and it was simply not something she could contend with.

Although Minglan struggled to close the fishing rod, she was finally able to break free from the fish. Not only that, she almost even dragged the fishing rod away.

Seeing this scene, people made sounds of regret.

"Pity!"

"Fishing is all about patience and skill. You can fish without damaging the fishing rod. You can't catch rare fish just by using brute force." Takeru Sato said calmly.

As he finished speaking, the float floating on the water in front of him moved.

Circles of ripples are centered on the fishing line and ripple in all directions.

Takeru Sato's eyes suddenly became sharp. He kept the rhythm and closed the rod. Soon, he caught an ordinary river fish.

This time it was not a rare fish Pokémon. Takeru Sato was not discouraged. He put the fish into the bucket and then sat on the small bench and continued fishing.

Takeru Sato looked like a master from this world. Naoki was slightly startled when he looked at him. He could see that the other party was really capable.

If that's the case, then he has to take it seriously.

Come fish!

The float floating on the water moved and seemed to be very heavy. It looked like a big guy had taken the bait!

What kind of fish will it be this time?

With this weight, could it be that he was eating Roarba?

Thinking back to Chihouba who had just been caught by that girl, Naoki immediately took a stance to close the pole.

Because Chihouba is too reckless. Although it is not very bright, it is very strong.

If you are not prepared, Chihouba may drag him into the water later when he struggles.

Naoki exerted strength in his arms and started to close the club sharply.

What surprised him was that the fish that took the bait didn't struggle the whole time.

Naoki couldn't help but be confused.

Aren't you eating Rouba?

Soon, Naoki had the answer to this question in his mind.

Because what he caught this time was not a Chiroba at all, but a Pokémon with a pink body, a fat body, two curly ears and a cream-colored mouth.

The Pokémon was currently biting the fishhook with its mouth, its eyes were dull, and a long pink tail was hanging downward.

This is... Slowpoke? !

Naoki was confused.

what happened? Don't Slowpoke live on the river bank?

Soon, someone noticed the scene on his side.

"Oh! This is really surprising. Player Naoki actually caught a Slowpoke!"

Several viewers who were watching the fishing competition for the first time were confused: "Is Slowpoke considered a fish Pokémon?"

"It doesn't count in the conventional sense, but according to the rules of the fishing competition, whether the fish you catch is an ordinary fish or a Pokémon, it can be counted as one point! If the rarity is high, one fish can even be worth several dollars. Only!"

"Good luck." Takeru Sato also saw the Slowpoke.

As far as he knew, Pokémon like Slowpoke usually lived a life of lying on the seaside and riverside all day long. They were always in a daze and rarely went to the water.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Some Slowpoke will also float on the water with their companions in a daze, letting the current push them far away.

Naoki: "..."

He helped the Slowpoke free from the hook and placed it on the grass nearby.

During the whole process, Slowpoke showed no reaction, its eyes were dull, and it looked stupid.

In the end, it simply stayed beside Naoki and started to stay still.

Is this Slowpoke?

Sure enough, he lives up to his name...

Shaking his head, Naoki continued to throw out the fishing rod and started to catch the next fish.

As time passed by, other anglers gradually caught a lot of fish.

There are regular river fish and some fish Pokémon.

Like the common carp and ugly fish in the river, etc.

Although there were some people who were lucky enough to catch Chihouba, they were all run away by it.

Soon, there were only ten minutes left in the three hours.

During this period, both Takeru Sato and Naoki caught a lot of fish and Pokémon.

The organizer of the fishing competition glanced at the time, and then informed everyone: "Attention, contestants! There are still ten minutes before the end of the fishing competition!"

Ten minutes? Naoki calculated in his mind, and he probably could catch one last fish.

At this moment, there was movement from Sato Takeru.

Fierce whirlpools appeared on the water surface, as if some huge monster was struggling frantically.

Here comes the big stuff!

Sato Takeru felt the power coming from the fishing rod, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He exerted force on his arms to stabilize the fishing rod to prevent the fish from breaking free.

At the same time, he began to reel in the rod continuously, and when the distance was almost the same, Sato Takeru exerted force violently.

The next second, a huge croaker jumped out of the lake.

Its figure covered the sky and the sun, shrouding Sato Takeru in shadow.

"It's another croaker!" The onlookers opened their eyes wide.

"This is the eighth player who has caught a Gyarados today! It's a pity that all the previous ones failed. I wonder if Mr. Sato Takeru can succeed."

"He has a great chance. After all, Mr. Sato Takeru once conquered a wild Gyarados!"

Amid the discussion, Takeru Sato's expression was tense.

It was obvious that he did not dare to neglect this extremely powerful Gyarados.

Gyarados finally fell to the land by the river. It looked around angrily, opened its mouth, and used a water gun to attack the instigator directly.

The water flow condensed into a water column and shot out at a very fast speed.

Fortunately, Takeru Sato had anticipated it in advance and quickly dodged sideways.

Taking advantage of the gap between Gyarados' attacks, Takeru Sato took a step forward, climbed to the back of Gyarados, stretched out his hand and grabbed the two long catfish whiskers tightly, and pressed it under his body.

The catfish whiskers were restricted by people, and Gyarados was stimulated and began to frantically flutter in place.

But the shore was not in the water, and the naturally disadvantaged Shrike could not exert its full strength.

Shrike struggled, and Sato Takeru held it tightly.

The man and the Pokémon fell into a stalemate.

The next thing to do was to compete in endurance, until who could not hold on first.

Naoki was stunned by this scene.

Is this how you fish? Why did you fight with the fish?

But then again, the physiques of these humans in the Pokémon world are so strong!

As time passed, Shrike's struggle became less and less, until finally, this poor Pokémon lay on the grass weakly, panting there.

It was considered to be convinced by this human...

Seeing this scene, Sato Takeru knew that he had succeeded.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a new Poké Ball and put Shrike in it.

Maybe Shrike was out of strength, the Poké Ball only shook a few times and stopped.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

The nervous onlookers on the shore applauded.

"As expected of Mr. Sato Takeru!"

"Amazing! He subdued the scoundrel!"

Naoki also admired him very much. If he was asked to climb on the back of a Pokémon and subdue it like that, he couldn't do it.

There was still more than a minute left before the end of the competition. It was not certain that a fish could be caught in such a short time.

In addition, someone had already caught a scoundrel. The others felt that they had no chance of winning, so they put away their fishing rods in advance and prepared to wait for the evaluation later.

Naoki was also ready to put away his fishing rod like everyone else, but at this moment, the float floating on the water suddenly shook again.

This meant that another fish was hooked!

Naoki was slightly stunned, but his hands moved subconsciously.

Accompanied by the sound of splashing, a slender figure jumped out of the lake.

Water droplets splashed from it all over the sky, and under the refraction of the sun, those water droplets emitted a beautiful brilliance like a rainbow.

The change here immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

When people saw the figure that was caught, they immediately sat up in shock, looked up, and looked at the Pokémon in disbelief.

It was a Pokémon with a slender figure, a cream-colored body, eyes like dreamy rubies, and blue and pink scales on its body.

Its appearance was extremely beautiful, the scales sparkled in the sun, and the streamlined slender body looked so beautiful.

"Woo~"

Accompanied by a melodious cry, the Pokémon broke free from the hook and fell back into the lake.

"Mienshao..." Sato Takeru called out the name of the Pokémon in a daze.

For every fisherman, Pokémon like Mienshao are like a dream.

Because they are so rare.

"Naoki, quickly capture it!" Sato Takeru hurriedly reminded loudly.

Naoki, who was shocked by Mienshao, came back to his senses.

Capture? How to capture it?

Wouldn't he need to climb on top of Milotic to suppress it?

Never mind! Just throw the ball!

Naoki gritted his teeth and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

The next second, the Poké Ball hit Milotic, and Milotic's body turned into a stream of red light and was collected into the Poké Ball.

"Buzz-Buzz!"

The Poké Ball that fell on the lake began to shake constantly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Everyone held their breath and watched this scene nervously.

Naoki didn't have high hopes for conquering Menas with one goal.

Because this is impossible no matter how you think about it, he is not a one-goal superman, and he and Menas have no relationship, and they are still in a state of strangers to each other.

Menas will definitely break free from the elf ball, then turn around and swim away, disappearing above the lake.

Naoki thought to himself,

However, at this moment, the elf ball floating on the water suddenly stopped.

Seeing that scene, the onlookers immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"Yes! Conquered successfully!"

"Mr. Naoki is so awesome! He can actually catch a rare Pokémon like Menus!"

Sato Kenya breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to that Minas, the Chihou Ba and Light Cod he caught were still slightly inferior.

It seems that the champion of this fishing competition has come out.

But this time, he was convinced to lose!

And Zhi Shu felt his brain roaring. The caught Menas actually recognized him? !

what happened?

The Poke Ball containing Menas was washed to the shore by the water of Cauldron Lake. Naoki stepped forward in confusion and picked it up.

Pressing the button on the elf ball, with a flash of white light, the Menas just appeared in front of everyone again.

It did not turn around and run away, but looked over with gentle eyes.

Three exclamation marks suddenly appeared above Naoki's head.

Could it be that the Poké Ball has a brainwashing function? !

"Menas?" he tried to call.

Menas looked at the human in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He has a very strong natural aura on his body!

Menas, who was born in nature, was born with an affinity for this scent.

Those chosen by nature will not be bad people!

Naoki didn't have Translator Guazisu on him now, so he couldn't communicate with Menas yet. But seeing that it didn't seem to be leaving, he turned around and prepared to take the Pokémon he caught today for the final evaluation.

The other fishermen around looked at the Menas with envious expressions in their eyes.

"It seems that everyone has gained a lot today!" Mayor Thomas walked forward with a smile: "Then let me see what kind of fish you have caught."

The final result of the fishing competition is based on points.

There are many subdivisions on this. For example, ordinary fish are worth one point, while fish Pokémon are worth two points.

If you catch a rare type of Fish Pokémon, your score will be even higher.

The sum of these scores is the final score of these contestants.

Mayor Thomas and the judges began to inspect the fish caught by the contestants one by one.

Before it was his turn, Naoki lowered his head and looked at what he had gained today.

Three Millosaurs, two Gnaws, a Slowpoke, a bunch of Bass and Shrimp, and a Menas.

These should add up to a lot of points, right?

Naoki turned his head and looked at Takeru Sato, who was not far away.

He also caught a lot of fish.

They are four light cods, five carp kings, one eating roarer, and a bunch of ordinary river fish.

"Player Takeru Sato, the final score is 42 points!" Mayor Thomas checked his fish Pokémon and then announced.

Compared to others, this score is already very high.

Recalling the way Takeru Sato conquered Pokémon with his body just now, Naoki felt sincere admiration.

He is truly a true fishing master!

At this time, Mayor Thomas came to Naoki.

After some careful inspection, he advertised the final result with a smile:

"Player Naoki, the final score is 52 points! Speaking of which, this is the first time someone has caught a Pokémon like Menus!"

52 points, a full ten points ahead of Takeru Sato.

As expected, Naoki won the championship in this fishing competition and received the championship medal issued by the Fishing Association.

After it was over, Takeru Sato walked up to Naoki.

"I am convinced that I have lost." Takeru Sato felt sincere admiration.

Naoki: "..."

"No." He shook his head: "I just have better luck."

Combining the Power of the Dragon with Padilla Paella, he opened too many tricks compared to other players.

Takeru Sato is the truly powerful fishing master.

After hearing those words, Takeru Sato shook his head with a smile and said: "Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. I am very happy to compete with you in today's fishing competition. If there is a chance in the future, let us go to the vast sea. Go fishing!”

Compared to terrestrial lakes, there are a larger number of fish Pokémon inhabiting the boundless sea.

For anglers, it is the best fishing place in the world.

Naoki: "..."

If he went fishing at sea, he was worried that he would catch the little Kyogre that Water Lotus caught later.

After all, he had seen the effects of Padiya paella with his own eyes.

But Naoki still responded: "Okay."

Only then did Takeru Sato smile with satisfaction: "Then, let's conquer the fish Pokémon in the sea together!"

The fishing competition ended. In order not to damage the ecological environment of Cauldron Lake, some fishermen chose to release the Pokémon they caught.

And Naoki also cast his eyes on the Pokémon he had caught.

Three Milidramons lined up and poked their heads out from the side of the bucket, two Slithering Tortoises bit the barrel beam of the bucket and refused to let go, and Slowpoke was still lying there in a daze.

And Milotic stood on the grass and looked at this side.

Naoki smiled and said, "Thank you for today. Thanks to your willingness to take the bait, I was able to win the fishing competition. Now the competition is over. If you want to go back, you can go back!"

As he said that, Naoki put the bucket by the river.

The two Slithering Tortoises were forced to open their mouths. They looked left and right, and then swam into the lake and disappeared.

The three Milidramons stayed in the bucket and jumped, and Slowpoke was still in a daze.

It seems that these Pokémon are not going to leave.

In this case, he will take them back to live on the World Tree.

Thinking of this, Naoki looked at Milotic again.

He took out the Rotom phone from his pocket and asked the Rotom inside to help translate.

"Mienshao, are you going to follow me too?"

"Woo~" Mienshao nodded gently.

This surprised Naoki even more.

He was puzzled and asked: "Why did you choose me?"

Mienshao: "Woo~"

Rotom helped translate: "Mienshao said [Because you smell good] Loto!"

Hmm? What smell?

Naoki lowered his head and smelled himself, but he didn't smell anything.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Mienshao described it with some difficulty: "Woo..." (It's a bit like the wind, and a bit like green leaves, woo, I don't know how to say it...)

Naoki was a little confused.

But soon, a bold guess came to his mind.

Could it be that what Mienshao felt was the breath of the World Tree?

In addition, he had eaten dishes made with the leaves of the World Tree before... So, this Mienshao was not taken in by him for this reason?

Is the attraction of the World Tree to ordinary Pokémon so great?

Naoki really didn't expect this situation.

He recalled the reactions of Zapdos and Budcrest when they saw the World Tree, and the answer came to his mind.

It seems that the natural environment on the World Tree is very popular with Pokémon.

After a little thought, Naoki asked again: "Then do you want to go back with me?"

Mienshao nodded happily.

The fishing competition has ended, and people have gradually dispersed.

Naoki put Milotica into the Poké Ball, then picked up Slowpoke, picked up the bucket containing Milotica, and returned to the ranch.

As soon as he landed, he went directly to the World Tree and came to the lake on the top floor.

"Come out! Milotica!"

A white light flashed, and Milotica fell into the lake.

Feeling the stronger natural atmosphere around, Milotica was full of surprise.

Then, Naoki released the three Milotica and the Slowpoke.

Milotica is gentle and doesn't like fighting.

Milotica is weak and usually doesn't provoke other Pokémon.

As the name suggests, Slowpoke is always in a daze on the shore, thinking about life.

Even if these Pokémon live here, they will not conflict with other Pokémon, and it should be easy for them to become friends with the Great Hero Expedition Team.

Not only that, Milotic and Milon can also help water the crops on the World Tree side.

"This is the inside of the World Tree." Naoki introduced to the Pokémon in front of him: "I plan to build an expedition team guild here where all Pokémon can live in harmony and help each other. Welcome to join!"

Milotic poked their heads out of the water, and Milotic also blinked.

They seemed very curious about this so-called expedition team guild.

Naoki smiled, then called Oliva and said to it: "Oliva, these Pokémon are new companions who have joined us. Next, I ask you to introduce this place to them."

Oliva readily agreed.

Because there were still things to do in the ranch, Naoki left here first.

After Naoki left, Oliva introduced the situation on the World Tree to these new companions in a gentle tone.

Including the Great Hero Expedition Team, the Expedition Team Guild, the Pokémon Restaurant, and the Pokémon Orchard and Farmland.

After a while, the Wood Geckos were also attracted.

They looked at the new companions curiously.

Oliva continued to introduce: "Li~Li!" (After this place is built, everyone will live happily together in this place~ The Wood Geckos want to be waiters in the cafe. If you have a job you are interested in, you can also come to help!)

The Mili Dragons jumped up in place with excitement.

They said: "Mi!" (We want to be the manager of a sushi restaurant!)

The eyes of the Milotic flickered. For it, which doesn't like fighting, this place is great!

"Woo!" (Then I'll help water it!) Milotic said.

Oliva nodded gently, saying, "Li~" (So from now on, we are all companions, please take care of me~)

As for Slowpoke, it still lay on the shore in a daze.

Attached is a dreamy secret base.
