Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

Therefore, Ximen Yan never expected that this Feebas could evolve into Milotic.

However, since an ugly fish could be found in this river.

Then it's obvious that we can discover more.

Ximen Yan decided to search further in this river.

There's no way around it, it's a Pokémon like Feebas.

It's not so easy to buy it in the city.

After all, the feline fish is so ugly that very few people are willing to keep it as a pet.

It's very difficult to buy ugly fish in natural cities.

……

Although Ximenyan mainly looks for ugly fish.

But other Pokémon they encountered.

Simon Yan also chose to add them all to his collection, except for Magikarp.

After a period of hard work.

Ximen Yan also reaped considerable rewards.

Magikarp is still the same.

However, there were seven goldfish.

They also caught two evolved forms of the Goldfish, the Kingfish.

There are also two biting turtles whose heads are bigger than their bodies and have a single horn.

Four clams that look like clams, but with a large tongue.

Two light gray mudfish that look like loaches.

And the evolved form of two mudskippers, the Catfish King, which resembles a giant catfish.

By the way, the mud loach and the king catfish were caught together.

It seems he captured the entire family of four.

Yes, this prevented a family of four from being separated.

In addition, Ximen Yan also caught 4.2 five round tadpoles with black bodies and beige faces.

Ximen Yan didn't actually like tadpoles very much.

The round tadpole looks alright.

However, their evolved form is the blue toad.

And even the final evolved form, the Toad King, doesn't fit Ximen Yan's aesthetic standards.

Since he had already come across it, Ximen Yan simply put it away.

Of course, what surprised Ximen Yan the most was...

He actually met a Squirtle.

As one of the starter Pokémon, Squirtle is mostly kept by the League.

Squirtle in the wild is extremely rare.

Ximenyan even felt that this Squirtle was very likely not purely wild.

Because when he arrested me.

Squirtle's resistance was not intense.

It was probably released by some kind of "life release master"!

Chapter 109 The Golden Magikarp Emerges from the Forest

I've acquired quite a few Water-type Pokémon.

Ximen Yan was indeed quite happy.

However, the only ugly fish they were looking for was the very first one.

This left Ximen Yan feeling quite helpless.

And in order to catch these water-type Pokémon.

He has already spent a lot of time on it.

Just as Ximen Yan was sitting on the shore contemplating whether to pause the search for the Ugly Fish.

Suddenly, the sound of splashing water came from the distant water.

Ximen Yan didn't pay any attention to this.

Because Ximenyan was very familiar with this voice.

It was Magikarp splashing in the water; he had heard it many times before.

However, Ximen Yan had no intention of paying attention to it.

But the Magikarp kept splashing around in the water.

This made Ximen Yan, who was deep in thought, somewhat irritated.

So I looked up to see what was wrong, and realized it was that Magikarp who was so clueless.

However, Ximen Yan did not see the red figure of Magikarp.

Instead, I saw a large golden fish leap out of the water and then fall back down.

Then it leaped out of the water again...

"gold?"

Ximen Yan was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of surprise.

"It's a shiny Magikarp!"

Ximen Yan hadn't expected this either.

He actually managed to encounter a Magikarp of unusual color.

Although Magikarp is known for its powerful reproductive ability.

There are more Shiny Magikarp than other Pokémon.

But even so, it's not something you can just happen to encounter.

Since we've encountered it, we naturally can't let it go.

Ximen Yan jumped directly into the water.

Then it quickly swam towards the golden Magikarp.

Ximen Yan's actions startled the Golden Carp King.

The golden Magikarp then stopped performing Splash Jump.

Instead, it swam quickly into the distance.

This one is much smarter than the other Magikarp that Ximen Yan caught before.

However, Ximen Yan obviously couldn't just watch the Golden Carp escape.

They hurriedly chased after the golden carp.

In the chase.

Ximen Yan also noticed the difference in this golden carp king.

Compared to other Magikarp.

This golden carp swims very fast in the water.

As a result, Ximen Yan was unable to catch up with it for a while.

While being chased by Ximen Yan.

The golden Magikarp would occasionally leap out of the water and perform a splash.

Ximen Yan felt as if the golden carp was mocking him!

This made Ximen Yan secretly determined to catch this golden carp king.

Immediately, Ximen Yan unleashed his full power.

Then it quickly charged towards Magikarp.

Just this way.

Other Pokémon in Simon's path suffered the consequences.

One by one, they were swept away by the churning river water, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Those who were unlucky were even thrown directly onto the shore.

Fortunately, even Magikarp can slowly move back into the river.

And then came the outbreak of simendam.

The golden Magikarp was eventually caught by Ximen Yan.

"You can't escape my grasp."

Ximen Yan looked at the golden carp king that was struggling in his hand.

He looked very pleased with himself.

Then Ximen Yan took a closer look at the golden carp king.

Compared to other Magikarp.

This golden carp is noticeably larger.

Besides color.

The biggest difference between this golden Magikarp and other Magikarp is its eyes.

Previously, the Magikarp that Ximen Yan had seen all had rather dull eyes.

However, the eyes of this golden carp are very lively.

"Speaking of which, you keep splashing around."

"Is it trying to evolve into Gyarados?!"

Ximen Yan looked at the golden carp king thoughtfully.

After all, wild Magikarp seem to only know how to splash.

The golden Magikarp was constantly performing splash jumps, clearly training itself.

The purpose of training is, of course, to evolve!

Upon hearing the words "Gyarados".

The golden carp king turned its gaze toward Ximen Yan.

This was naturally noticed by Ximen Yan.

"That's a Magikarp with a goal in mind."

"So I'll try to help you."

Ximen Yan looked at the golden carp and said very seriously.

After all, the golden Magikarp evolved.

It's a very cool red Gyarados.

If possible, Ximen Yan would naturally not mind having a red Gyarados as a mount.

Just thinking about it is pretty cool, right?

Not to mention how hard this golden magikarp works.
