My Pokémon Story of Seasons

"It wasn't easy, it was really too difficult..."

Tong Hua immediately picked up his fishing rod and called out his professional panel.

Fisherman: Level 2

Status: None

Experience points: 60/450

[Professional Skills: Casting and Lifting the Hook]

Having unlocked a profession and two passive skills, even fishing can now be automated to some extent.

Tong Hua immediately tried to swing again, and the feeling of his body moving automatically reappeared. Even his grip and the force of his grip were automatically adjusted.

The light drizzle showed no signs of stopping, so Tong Hua took the opportunity to continue fishing.

……

Meanwhile, in the wind-swept forest.

Soichi, the ranger who was supposed to be helping with the shipments at Fairy Tale Ranch today, is currently carrying out a task.

The task was simple: find a child who had gotten lost in the forest.

According to the parents who made the request, the missing person is an eight-year-old girl who went into the forest early in the morning wearing a raincoat for unknown reasons and has not been heard from since.

The GPS watch I carry with me also seems to be broken, as it can't detect my location at all.

The anxious parents immediately thought of reporting the incident to the ranger base and made a request for assistance.

In fact, in principle, such emergency situations should not be handled by a rookie patrolman like Chuang Yi.

Unfortunately, the base captain, Guanglang, and two veteran patrolmen were urgently transferred to Gangbo Town in the north to carry out a mission last night.

At the Fengrao Town base, only two newcomers, Chuangyi and Renmei, remained!

"Found it! It's the mark of a thick-soled rain boot. Looks like we're on the right track."

Chuangyi used the equipment on his wrist to take a picture of the marks, then looked up and asked his partner on the treetop.

"How's it going, Patchlitz? Can you see any children?"

"Terrifying!"

Patchlitz stood on a treetop, shook off its rain-soaked fur, and pointed its little paws toward the depths of the forest.

Its ears twitched slightly, as if it had caught some sound.

Following the direction it pointed, Chuangyi could vaguely see a trampled grass trail through the dense rain curtain.

"Well done, keep it up!"

He quickened his pace while opening his communicator: "Renmei, I've found a new lead and am tracking it southwest through the forest. How's it going on your end?"

A hissing sound came from the communicator, followed by Renmei's panting voice: "I...I haven't found anything here yet...The rain suddenly got heavier, and visibility is very poor."

However, I have already contacted the captain and the senior members; they are returning.

"Understood, stay in touch." Chuang Yi turned off the communication, his brow furrowed.

With each passing minute, the child's situation could become more dangerous.

He has to speed things up.

……

"No, it's only Magikarp after all."

Tong Hua fished for a long time, and sure enough, besides grass carp, only carp kings remained in the stream.

Tong Hua's fishing level has been raised to level 4. Although no new skills have been unlocked, the level increase has made fishing much easier.

To put it simply, the most important thing in fishing is neither technique nor equipment.

It's resources!

Even if you're a fishing master who catches fish every time, you won't catch any fish in a small, empty puddle.

The only resources in this stream are these ordinary grass carp and the highest quality carp (C-grade). There's not much point in fishing there anymore.

"The bucket is almost full. Let's go back and release the fish into the pond."

Tong Hua estimated the pond's size and concluded it should be more than enough to accommodate the big-tailed raccoon family and the bucket of fish.

If you factor in the depth of the pool, it could probably hold about ten buckets of fish.

Just as Tong Hua was about to get up and reel in his line to return, suddenly, the fishing rod bent downwards violently, and an unprecedented force came from the water!

"?!"

Tong Hua was almost pulled into the water, but quickly steadied herself and gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands.

"What's going on?!"

Tong Hua felt as if there was some enormous creature wrestling with her in the water, a feeling completely different from when she caught a fish before!

"Everyone, please help me!"

Tong Hua quickly sought help from the Pokémon around him, and the little ones reacted swiftly, each displaying their unique abilities to assist Tong Hua!

"Game!" The grass turtle was the first to act, its thick vines tightly wrapping around Tong Hua's waist, while the other end wrapped around the big tree behind him.

"Trembling!" The foam squirrel wasn't very strong, but it still managed to grab Tong Hua's trouser leg tightly and pull it back with all its might.

Green Celebi wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Pink Celebi.

"La beep?"

Green Celebi looked at Pink Celebi with a puzzled expression, while Pink Celebi also looked confused.

She seemed to... remember this scene; she herself had been stopped in the same way by another Celebi. And then...

The next second, despite Tong Hua's and the two Pokémon's efforts, the fishing rod finally gave way and snapped!

"Thump!"

Tong Hua fell heavily to the ground, pinning the grass turtle and foam squirrel behind him.

A huge splash of water erupted in the stream, and the thing that had taken the bait finally revealed itself!

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a dark blue tentacle!

"Rap?" Green Celebi looked at the tentacle, feeling it was very familiar.

"My fishing rod!" Tong Hua clutched her back and quickly got up, her feelings extremely complicated.

"What exactly is that?"

The tentacle beckoned to Tong Hua in a provocative manner, as if beckoning him over.

The next second, the tentacles suddenly dived back into the water. Tong Hua stood on the shore searching, but couldn't find any trace of them.

With no other option, Tong Hua had to first check on the two Pokémon that he had knocked unconscious.

Fortunately, neither the grass turtle nor the foam squirrel was seriously injured, only suffering some minor skin wounds.

Tong Hua picked up the two little ones with one hand and lifted the bucket full of fish with the other, intending to go back to the cabin to settle the two Pokémon.

"Shrabah, let's go!"

Pink Celebi responded and followed Tong Hua, while Green Celebi remained where it was, seemingly still recalling the tentacle from earlier.

It wasn't until Pink Silavi turned around and grabbed her arm that Green Silavi came to her senses.

Just as Tong Hua and her group were returning to the Fairy Tale Ranch, a pair of large, round eyes silently watched them from the bushes on the opposite bank of the river...

……

Back in the cabin, Tong Hua immediately dried the two Pokémon and placed them on the bed. Then she took out two bottles of medicine from the first-aid kit under the bed.

"Miru?" "Ama?"

Miltank and Sweetie, who were left at home, looked at the two injured Pokémon with puzzled expressions, not understanding what had happened.

As for the bucket of fish, Tong Hua had already put them into the pond on the way back.

The shrubs originally wanted to use the Life Drops to heal the grass turtle and the foam squirrel, but Tong Hua refused.

"La beep?" Pink Celebi tilted its head, looking at Tong Hua with confusion.

"These minor injuries can be treated with medicine, and since they were injured because of me, let me treat them."

"Save your strength for more critical moments," Tong Hua explained with a smile, while skillfully spraying medicine onto the grass turtle and the foam squirrel.

The grass turtle quickly woke up, shook its head, and lowered its head somewhat embarrassedly: "Game..."

"Don't be so discouraged. I was saved from being dragged into the water thanks to you," Tong Hua said gently, rubbing its head.

"However..." He picked up the broken fishing rod he had hastily retrieved and sighed, "It seems I'll have to find a way to get a sturdier one."

The foam squirrel woke up too, scrambled to its feet, and angrily waved its little paws: "Screech! Screech!"

"I wonder what that is. Is it a dark blue tentacle? It must be some kind of Pokémon..."

Tong Hua sat on the edge of the bed, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered.

"Pokémon with those characteristics are rare, and besides, this is Almia. In the wild, you can only see Pokémon commonly found in the Sinnoh region..."

Tentacles, Sinnoh, deep blue...

"what!"

Suddenly, Tong Hua thought of a Pokémon that met the criteria.
