It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

Riolu assumed a fighting stance and slapped the Feebas lying on the ground.

Although Fighting-type moves cannot deal significant damage to Water-type Feebas, Riolu currently has a limited number of moves, so this is the best it can do.

As Riolu's energy gradually returned to normal, it struck Feebas and knocked it back a full meter with a single blow.

Faced with Riolu's attack, Feebas used its most frequently used move, Leap, to counterattack.

[Leaping: It doesn't attack, it just hops around, nothing happens...]

The blue fish tail kept slapping the ground. Rather than fighting back, the ugly fish seemed to be protesting by hitting the ground.

Stop it, you idiot!

Of course, if this skill were used in water, things might be different.

"Doggy, you did a great job just now!"

"Continue using the cross-shaped split!"

"Leo~!!"

After receiving the order, Riolu immediately continued its attack on the defenseless Feebas, and successfully hit it once again.

Having taken two hits in a row, the ugly fish lost all its strength and collapsed to the ground with its eyes spinning.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Qin Ming's mind.

[Ding! Your Riolu defeated the opponent Feebas, gaining 50 experience points.]

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, dog!"

Qin Ming swung away Riolu, decisively took out a Poké Ball, pressed the switch on the Poké Ball, and after a burst of red light, sucked the fallen Feebas into the ball.

dong dong! !

dong dong! !

The Poké Ball was shaking, and on the second shake, it burst open, and the pufferfish returned to the ground.

"Stop struggling, you can't escape!"

Qin Ming quickly picked up the Poké Ball, pressed the switch again, and the red light once again attracted the Feebas.

That's right, Poké Balls can be reused, unlike in games where you lose a ball if you fail.

dong dong! !

dong dong! !

The baby ball fell to the ground, wobbled twice, and finally stopped wobbling after three wobbles.

This means that you have successfully tamed the ugly fish.

The initial bond between the two was established through the connection of the Poké Ball.

Amidst the envious gazes of many anglers, Qin Ming picked up the precious ball containing the Ugly Fish as if it were a priceless treasure, his face beaming with joy.

"Finally, I've tamed Feebas!!"

……

……

After all that fuss, the sun was setting.

Having successfully caught the ugly fish, Qin Ming packed up and stopped fishing.

I packed up my things at the fishing spot, ready to make it available to other anglers.

Qin Ming, who successfully caught the Ugly Fish, became a celebrity among all the anglers present.

Old Wang, the fisherman, approached Qin Ming with a fawning smile and asked, "Little Qin, are you planning to pack up and stop fishing?"

Qin Ming didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'm not planning to fish anymore."

"How about I discuss something with you?"

Old Wang said in a low voice, "Since you're not fishing anymore, why don't you sell me your fishing rod?"

“It’s quite troublesome for you to carry all these things.”

"It's better to lighten the load and leave easily."

Qin Ming asked in confusion, "But Lao Wang, why do you want to buy my fishing rod?"

Old Wang rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile, "I just wanted to ride on your luck. Maybe I can catch an ugly fish just like you by using your lucky fishing rod."

Oh! !

Qin Ming suddenly realized.

Trying to get lucky is quite normal among fishing enthusiasts.

Besides, it's inconvenient to carry around a cumbersome fishing rod.

Just as he was about to agree, the other anglers immediately gathered around, and one of them, a bald angler, boldly said, "Little Qin, why don't you sell me your lucky fishing rod? I'll offer 20,000!"

"You think you can buy the lucky fishing rod that once caught an ugly fish for 20,000? Are you kidding me? I'll offer 30,000!"

"Tch, I'll bid 40,000!!"

"What, you're offering 40,000 if you don't want to help? I'll offer 50,000!!"

For a time, Qin Ming's fishing rod became highly sought after by many anglers.

To spend 50,000 yuan to buy a fishing rod, to be honest, the angler is really rich.

Fishing may seem inexpensive, but only true anglers know the true value of an angler's equipment.

It's perfectly normal for a fishing rod to cost as much as a Santana; some are even more outrageous – a single fishing rod can buy an entire house!

"Xiao Qin, I don't want the fishing rod, I want the remaining bait. I'll pay 20,000 for it, what do you think?"

"Xiao Qin, I'll offer 10,000 for your fishing line, what do you think?"

In the end, Qin Ming sold all his fishing rods, lines, and bait, earning a total of 21 yuan.

By coming to Dream Lake, in addition to catching a Ugly Fish with the potential to reach the King level, I also made a little money.

This is a huge windfall.

……

……

Chapter 12, Pokémon can fly and land, so why should they follow and train?

With Qin Ming successfully catching the Ugly Fish, all the anglers around Dream Lake were thrilled.

Qin Ming's living example showed them how to realize their dreams, which was like giving them a shot in the arm.

Especially those anglers who spent a lot of money to buy Qinming fishing tackle, even as it got dark, still stayed in front of the fishing platform, demonstrating the fine tradition of anglers being able to endure loneliness while fishing in the wild.

Night fishing is a popular fishing method among many anglers.

Qin Ming tidied up briefly, filled a basin with clean water, and released the Uglyfish out of its Poké Ball.

"..."

After an afternoon of rest, Ugly Fish had recovered most of its strength and was staring at Qin Ming in the basin with its dead fish eyes full of white.

The spirits of this world are protected by the laws.

If you collapse from exhaustion during a battle, you will fall into a coma.

Given enough time to recover, they can be restored.

However, if the attack continues while they are unconscious from exhaustion during the battle, they will be injured or even killed.

Qin Ming and Riolu peered into the basin together. The ugly fish, whose eyes were mostly white with only a small black dot in its pupils, looked like it was rolling its eyes even when it was quietly curled up in the basin.

"Hello, my name is Qin Ming."

“He is my partner Riolu.”

Qin Ming was introducing himself to the ugly fish in the basin.

Having obtained the body of the ugly fish, I also got its heart.

"I'm very happy to have you under my wing, and I look forward to becoming your partner."

"Don't worry, I will treat you well."

Qin Ming promised the ugly fish in the basin, "I will do my best to help you become stronger and evolve, so that you can become the best among your kind!"

“I will take care of your diet, respect your preferences, and treat you and Riolu as trusted partners.”

The elf is very clever.

They can fly in the sky and on the ground, breathe fire and water, and powerful elves can destroy a mountain with a single move.

Why would something as powerful as them obey a trainer's commands?

The reason is simple.

Trainers can help Pokémon become stronger, guide them, and provide the most appropriate offensive or defensive commands during intense battles.
