Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 223 Fishing
Another morning.

"Kona, Bogarman, wake up! Aren't you going to the fishing competition in town today?"

Kona's mother's gentle voice came through.

Wu Ge had just opened his eyes groggily when he immediately felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him.

Bang!
"Kona! Look at the way you're sleeping!"

clap clap!

Kona's mother walked over angrily and slapped Kona's bottom twice, waking her up.

Then he bent down and picked up Wu Ge, who had been kicked off the bed by Kona, and reached out to wipe his face.

"."

Wu Ge yawned, enjoying Kona's mother's soft embrace.

I've been in this new home for a week now.

He has learned about the jobs and personalities of this family of three.

My father used to be a professional trainer and participated in two regional competitions, reaching the top 32 and top 8 respectively.

Now he works as a transporter between the Seven Islands.

He is somewhat refined in manner, but surprisingly open-minded.

Meanwhile, Mom runs a fruit shop downstairs from our house, selling fruits from other islands that Dad brings back.

Generally, when Kona and Wu Ge don't make mistakes, their mother is very gentle.

But once a mistake is made.

Wu Ge will then know who Kona inherited her habit of hitting people from.

As for Cora...

He inherited neither his father's refinement nor his mother's gentleness.

But that doesn't mean Kona has no merits.

Having a strong and courageous personality can be considered a good quality.

As their elderly mother dragged the two little ones to the bathroom to have their faces rubbed, they quickly regained consciousness.

"Bogaman! Let's go!"

After waking up, Kona regained her energetic appearance.

She rushed out of the house with a small fishing rod on her back and a small Bogarman lure in her hand.

Wu Ge wiggled his legs and chased after him.

He has now outgrown childhood.

same.

After leaving childhood, he also confirmed one thing.

There is something wrong with my body.

The average height of a normal Pogaman is 0.4 meters, but Wu Ge is only 0.3 meters tall.

It looks 10 centimeters shorter than other Pogamans, which doesn't seem like much.

But to put it another way.

It's 25% shorter than other Pogamans, which is a big problem.

Bogarman's body size is not affected by gender.

His diet during his childhood was definitely not lacking in nutrition.

Therefore, if a child's height does not reach the standard after childhood, it is likely due to a health problem.

Even in its first life as a unicorn.

Wu Ge later improved his physique by supplementing his nutrition, catching up with and even surpassing other similar individuals.

Needless to say, the second and third generations were never inferior in terms of physique.

Only in this lifetime.

He's not even a normal height.

However, only Wu Ge himself realized this.

The Kona family was unaware of this.

Because they had never seen any other Piplup before, they did not know what the typical size of a Piplup was.

And even if you know.

In their eyes, there isn't much difference between a 30cm penguin and a 40cm penguin.

They might even think that the smaller ones are cuter.

Wu Ge doesn't seem to have any major problems at the moment.

This small physique is not due to nutritional deficiencies, but is probably due to genetic factors.

Therefore, Wu Ge's energy was not less than that of other Pogamans of the same level, despite his smaller physique.

Now he's going to start battling it out.

After the battle begins.

I always have to go to the Pokémon Center.

We can have Miss Joey check up my body then.

All seven islands of the Seven Islands have Pokémon Centers, even the smallest one, the Fourth Island, so Wu Ge wasn't too worried.

Wu Ge and Kona ran all the way to the beach.

There were quite a few people at the fishing competition on the fourth island.

There were some anglers who came all the way from other islands specifically to participate in the competition.

For most people.

Whether or not there is a reward is irrelevant.

I just like to catch fish and show them off to others.

But for Kona, she was there for the prize money.

"Mom said she wouldn't buy me a Poké Ball until I'm ten, so I'll try to get one myself!"

Kona clenched her little fist and looked at the little penguin beside her.
"Bogaman! Once we catch the fish, it's yours!"

"Suspended".

Wu Ge felt a little uneasy.

To win the competition prize—a regular red and white Poké Ball.

At the very least, you need to use the Poké Balls prepared for the competition to catch a Water-type Pokémon that you've fished up.

Only then can it be called 'participation'.

If you can't even catch a single Water-type Pokémon, what kind of competition is that? What's the difference between you and a spectator?

Once those Water-type Pokémon are fished out, they won't obediently let Lorelei catch them.

Wu Ge needs to defeat him first.

'Luckily, there are inherited moves.'

Wu Ge glanced at his personal panel.

His level is only Lv.5.

Aside from inherited skills, it only knows two moves: slapping and vocalizing.

Even for Wu Ge, defeating the Pokémon he fished out using only level 5 and these two moves would be quite a challenge.

After all, he's not quite used to his current body yet.

Fortunately, we still have the power of honing and waveguides to utilize.

If you encounter a low-level Pokémon or a Magikarp, it's not impossible to win.

Wu Ge is making preparations.

Fishing has already started in Kona.

The little girl stood on the beach, full of anticipation, staring intently at the sea.

Wu Ge yawned beside him.

The last person to use a lure for fishing was a lobster soldier.

The problem is, Lobster Soldier has been fishing for decades.

Kona was only eight years old. Her fishing skills were naturally incomparable.

Wu Ge figured she wouldn't be able to catch anything anytime soon, so she plopped down on the beach next to her and lay down to sunbathe.

of course.

This is just what appears to be sunbathing on the surface.

In reality, Wu Ge was trying to use the power of waveguides to do more things.

Just like right now.

What he was trying to do was to use the power of waveguides to improve his physical potential.

Although it was fruitless, it at least increased his proficiency in waveguide power, so that he could do more things in the future.

Many elderly people who were bored and watching the game couldn't help but smile kindly at the two little ones.

"Piplup! How can you be so listless! By the time you stand up, all the Pokémon will have run away!"

Kona looked at Wu Ge beside her, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"It's not that easy. You overestimate yourself."

Wu Ge waved his hand casually.

His waveguide power is being emitted outwards.

Although the area is small, Kona can still sense it beneath the surface of the sea right in front of her.

Let alone Water-type Pokémon.

Even ordinary fish didn't come over.

The crabs and shrimp crawling all over the sand were quite interested in the lure.

'Just like Observation Haki.'

Wu Ge smiled slightly.

The power of waveguides was far greater than he had imagined.

Take this perceptual ability, for example.

It can improve his reaction speed in battle, allowing him to evade enemy attacks or predict enemy movements more quickly.

This is just the most basic ability of waveguide power.

He has high hopes for the future of waveguides.

"Honestly, lazy duck!"

"I am a goose."

Wu Ge shook his head, too lazy to argue with Kona.

He hasn't yet mastered the 'communication' of waveguide power.

Once you master it, communicating with people won't be so difficult.

Time passed little by little.

45 minutes passed.

The fishing competition lasts for one hour.

In those 45 minutes, Lorelei didn't even manage to catch a Water-type Pokémon, let alone make the fishing line move much.

"Ah woo~"

Wu Ge yawned and sat up, ready to go home.

Looks like I can go home early for a nap.

"Well"

Kona stared intently at the water's surface, letting out a sound of resentment.

"Ugh, look at you."

Wu Ge glanced at Kona's flushed face, shrugged helplessly, and snatched the fishing rod from her hand.
"Let me do it."

Wu Ge's fishing skills are no joke.

Although not as good as Lobster Soldier and Tom.

But having lived in Saiyu City for ten years and gone fishing with them many times, his skills are definitely much better than Kona's.

"Bogarman?!"

Kona was startled, wondering what Wu Ge was up to.

She quickly picked up Wu Ge, trying to retrieve the fishing rod.

However, it only took five or six seconds.

Kona then noticed that the tip of the fishing rod seemed to be bent.

"Take it, pull it up."

Wu Ge tossed the fishing rod back into Kona's hand.

It landed back on the ground and bounced twice.

He hasn't battled any other Pokémon since that battle with Lugia.

When we fought again, I felt a bit rusty.

For him.

Fishing is like a fish in water for me.

He could 'see' everything clearly: where the fish were underwater, how far they were from the hook, and whether they had taken the bait.

If the fish don't come looking for the hook, then you should go find the fish yourself with the hook.

If it weren't for his short arms...

It can even pull the hook directly into the fish's mouth.

'The force with which it struggled just now suggests it wasn't a powerful Pokémon.'

Wu Ge shook his arm.

At the same time, he signaled Lorelei to quickly pull the lever so that the Pokémon below wouldn't escape.

This Water-type Pokémon is no ordinary fish.

Even a Magikarp is much smarter than an ordinary fish.

It can break free of the fishhook in almost a few seconds.

"Hey!"

Kona gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and flicked it upwards.

It’s time to say it or not.

The little girl is usually quite violent, and her brute strength really came in handy in this situation.

puff!
The onlookers turned their attention to it.

However, expectations were generally low; people only watched because they found the two babies fishing interesting.

Right here in the corner where Kona is standing.

Any experienced angler can tell the difference.

Rare and powerful Pokémon won't appear in this place.

Pokémon from the sea have been revealed.

It's a gunfish.

"Huh?! It's a gunfish."

"It's rare to see a Pokémon like this in such shallow water."

"We're pretty lucky, but can we beat that Piplup? The Iron Retriever is a tough opponent."

Remora is not a rare Pokémon.

They are quite numerous in the ocean and have formed symbiotic relationships with many other large Pokémon.

but.

That's in the deep sea area.

The probability of a spearfish appearing in shallow waters is no less than that of a wild boa manta ray appearing on the fourth island.

So when people saw the commotion, they all moved over.
