My Pokémon Story of Seasons

In the spring of the 112th year of the Alliance calendar, on May 16th, it rained.

After breakfast, Tong Hua went to the fields.

Although there was no need to water the plants today, Tong Hua still decided to do some simple flood prevention work with a waterproof tarpaulin, remembering Jessica's reminder about the rainy season.

With three acres of land, the amount of waterproof cloth available was quite limited. Having no other choice, Tong Hua had to make simple modifications to the vegetable plots that were least resistant to flooding.

Today's main goal is to go fishing at the popular beach and see if we can catch that mysterious king fish.

……

Port-a-Provence, headquarters of the Almia Times.

As the best-selling publication in the Armia region, the newspaper's headquarters are naturally busy from morning till night.

Editors-in-chief, writers, reporters, printing plant liaisons—everyone was running around like crazy.

In the news industry, timeliness is paramount.

If you're not always one step ahead, your exclusive stories will be snatched away!

Among these people, one person stands out in particular...

"Hey! Su Ren! What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to dig up dirt on Angel Company?! Why are all the articles you submitted just boring news?!"

The bald editor-in-chief, holding a manuscript, was yelling at a writer, his voice standing out even in the noisy office.

However, the writer named Sujin, whom he had reprimanded, was now focused on typing his manuscript on the computer keyboard.

He had an extremely handsome appearance, with his hair neatly parted in a 3/7 style, and he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes with piercing gaze.

His suit, tailored to a sophisticated man, fit him perfectly; it appeared to be a high-end custom-made item. Perched on his shoulder was a chattering bird, the complete opposite of its name, remarkably silent.

And most importantly, he completely ignored the editor-in-chief's reprimands, as if they were nothing...

"Didn't you hear me?! You bastard!"

The editor-in-chief, who was in a high-ranking position, reached out to close the laptop in front of Su Ren!

"Snapped!"

Just then, Su Ren quickly closed the computer, trapping the editor-in-chief's hand between the two laptops.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Editor-in-chief!" Su Ren suddenly stood up, raised an arm, and pointed his index finger straight at the editor-in-chief.

"Excuse my bluntness, but the section you've assigned is utterly boring! I want to write reports that the public enjoys reading!"

Su Ren pointed with a dashing gesture, then picked up his briefcase and quickly began packing.

"Sorry, I have to go out for an interview!"

"Hey kid, stop right there!" No matter how the editor-in-chief roared from behind, Su Ren didn't stop.

He left in a hurry with his things, and his colleagues were already used to it.

"That guy is going against the editor-in-chief again."

"Don't worry about him. He's the editor-in-chief's nephew. He'll be fine no matter what he does."

At the newspaper office, no one paid attention to this little incident and continued to throw themselves into their intense work.

Outside the newspaper office, a light drizzle was falling.

After Su Ren walked out of the gate, he turned into a small alley where he could take shelter from the rain, leaned against the wall, and lit a cigarette.

"call……"

Amidst the swirling smoke, his burning passion finally subsided.

His name is Miho Hayato, that's the name on his business card, and he works as a freelance writer. He got a job at the headquarters of the Armia newspaper because of family connections, but he still works as a freelance writer.

"Alright... what should we interview next...?"

After finishing his cigarette, Su Ren extinguished the butt and threw it into the trash can in the alley.

He opened his notebook, which contained a lot of interesting information written in ballpoint pen, but most of it had been crossed out.

Only two rumors remained: one was the haunted story of the patrolmen's school, and the other was...

"When was this 'King of Fish' that's all the rage on the beach recorded?"

Su Ren thought for a long time but couldn't remember where he had copied the message.

"Fine, I've decided on you then. It'll be a good opportunity to relax at the beach..."

The fastest way to get from Harbour Town to the popular beach is by bus.

Once Su Ren decided on his itinerary, he immediately rushed to the station. This exceptional drive was key to his success as a writer.

"Um?"

As soon as he got on the bus, Su Ren keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Why are all the people on the bus carrying fishing gear?

Hayato sat in the back, staring at the other passengers in the car. Without exception, all the passengers except him were carrying fishing gear.

Could it be that the rumors about the Fish King are true?

In order to investigate and collect evidence, Su-ren slowly raised his arm and pointed to the passerby closest to him.

"Excuse me, are you going fishing?"

"Huh?" The person who was pointed at was slightly taken aback when he saw Hayato's expressionless face, and then nodded.

"Yes, it's raining today, perfect for fishing."

"Are we going to the popular beach?"

"right."

"Could it be because there's a kingfish there?"

Passerby A nodded repeatedly, and Su Ren slowly lowered his arm. Then, he took out his notebook and asked with great interest.

"Interesting, tell me more. Where did you hear this rumor? Are you confident you can catch the king fish?"

That said, what exactly is the "King of Fish"?

The bus slowly started moving, and along the way, Su Ren kept pestering this passerby with questions. The two men's discussion also drew responses from the other fishermen present.

Based on the information provided by everyone on board, Su Ren compiled a summary.

"The mysterious fish shadow that appeared about a week ago caused several experienced anglers to turn back and return home, sparking widespread discussion among anglers."

However, to this day, no one has ever seen its true form...

I feel this is a very good material.

At least the written reports will definitely be much more interesting than any scandalous information about angel companies.

The Beach Fish King Championship is all the rage!

Shocking! The Boss Fish King that has defeated countless seasoned experts!

This kind of project is sure to attract more readers' attention, since who wants to read conspiracy theory articles all day long?

Furthermore, during the interview, Hayato also heard some very interesting news...

……

Two hours later, the bus arrived in Fengrao Town.

The fishing group got off the bus together, and Su Ren followed them to the popular beach to gather materials.

"Tsk, it didn't rain yesterday. But it rained on the second day I slept at the company..."

To avoid getting his important partner and briefcase wet in the rain, Su bought the cheapest plastic umbrella from a small shop on the street.

These umbrellas are basically disposable; you won't feel bad if someone takes them in public.

Su Ren followed the group through the streets of Fengrao Town. Since it was a rare opportunity for him to come here, he took out his camera and took many photos of the street scenes.

You never know when you might need it, so the more of these scenic materials you have, the better.

Leave the town from a small road in the southwest of Fengrao Town and walk about one kilometer to reach Fengmi Beach.

A light drizzle fell, and the sea rippled gently. Su Ren stood at the edge of the beach, holding his cheap plastic umbrella, gazing at the scene before him.

More than ten anglers had already occupied the rocks or shallows, their fishing rods standing tall, creating a scene resembling a "hunt for the king of fish".

The sound of waves was mixed with sporadic conversations. Some people were checking their fishing lines, while others were putting special bait on their hooks. The atmosphere was tense and focused.

Su Ren raised his camera and snapped a few photos of the scene, then opened his notebook and quickly recorded the situation.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Hayato noticed a figure standing ramrod straight. Was it not a passenger from the bus, but someone from somewhere else?

When it comes to writing reports, the more people you interview, the better. So Su Ren quickly stepped forward and struck up a conversation with the man.

"Hey, you!" Hayato raised his arm, pointing his index finger straight at the man.

"Huh?" The man, who was about to bait his fishing hook, turned around. There were two Pokémon beside him.

It's Torkoal, one of the starter Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, and Bubble Squirrel from the Unova region.

"Is there something you need?"

"My name is Gofuku Hayato, and this is what I do. Where are you from?" Hayato handed over his business card, which listed his profession as a freelance writer.

"Are you a reporter? My name is Tong Hua, and I am the owner of the Fairy Tale Ranch in Chicory Village."

After receiving the business card, Tong Hua lowered her guard and told him about her situation in detail.

"Are you also here to fish for King of Fishing? Where did you get this information?"

Tong Hua nodded, then frankly said that she only knew about the king fish from the fishing tackle shop owner.

"The owner of a fishing tackle shop?"

Su Ren wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly heard a gasp from the angler next to him!

"It's taken the bait! My first bite of the day!"

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

Everyone present looked in that direction, and Hayato's attention was naturally drawn to it as well.

"Wait a minute!" Su Ren pulled his arm back and ran quickly in that direction.

"That person is so busy..."

"Terrible." "Game."

Tong Hua put away the business card, took the bait handed to him by the grass turtle, and gently hooked it onto the fishing hook.

"Little Fish King, we must take him down today!"
