Chapter 240 The Fishing Prodigy Makes His Debut

The two bird-shaped Pokémon being carried by the blue crocodile resemble cormorants, with dark blue feathers covering their entire bodies and light blue feathers on their chests.

Furthermore, their wings are much smaller than those of ordinary birds, which makes them look rather endearing.

"Isn't this the Moon of Calamity, one of the Five Calamity Pokémon?!" Ange thought strangely.

Just kidding, Lunado and the Calamity Pokémon have absolutely no connection; it's just a joke from Ange's past life.

There are only four Calamity Pokémon: Ancient Snail, Ancient Saber, Ancient Deer, and Ancient Jade Fish.

The "Moon of Calamity" is just a nickname.

Seeing the two ancient moon birds looking utterly hopeless, Anjie looked at the blue crocodile with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Where did these two ancient moonbirds come from?"

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~" Blue Crocodile angrily explained to Anjie.

Because the pigsty hasn't been repaired yet, Blue Crocodile needs to keep a close eye on the pigs.

Seeing that the blue crocodile had gotten all dirty from the heavy rain the night before, it urged them to go to the lake to bathe after lunch.

After the pigs entered the water, they had a great time and were much more well-behaved than when they were on land, which made the blue crocodile feel much more relaxed.

So it leisurely lay down on the grass by the lake to rest.

Suddenly, it heard the sound of splashing water from time to time. Out of curiosity, it followed the sound.

Who would have thought that it would see two unfamiliar Pokémon hunting fish and shrimp in the lake.

These fish and shrimp are all Anjie's property; they escaped from Anjie's fish farm.

In order to catch fish and shrimp, after lunch, Mosquito King led Mosquito Tadpoles, Mosquito Swimmers, Marill, Marillelle, and Lapras to work in the lake. They worked incredibly hard.

So when it saw the two Pokémon stealing Angel's fish, Crocodile was very angry and decided to teach these two uninvited guests a lesson.

Since the two Pokémon were birds and could fly, Crocodile did not act rashly.

It quietly submerged into the water, concealing itself on the bottom without making a sound, and slowly approached its opponent.

When the two Pokémon fell from the sky like cannonballs and plunged into the water, it swiftly caught one of them.

Although the Pokémon struggled fiercely in its hand, it was no match for the Pokémon in terms of strength, and eventually it was exhausted in its hands.

The other Pokémon was quick-witted; upon sensing something was wrong, it immediately left the water and escaped into the air, out of the reach of the blue crocodile.

The blue crocodile surfaced with the one it had caught, then fired a water gun at the one in the air.

Unfortunately, Crocodile wasn't good at special attack moves, and its Water Gun accuracy was mediocre, so it couldn't hit that Pokémon.

That Pokémon didn't run away either, because its partner had been caught by the blue crocodile!

Two Pokémon depend on each other for survival; it's impossible for one to abandon the other and run away alone.

So the blue crocodile threatened it with the Pokémon it was holding, and the Pokémon in the air had no choice but to surrender.

And just like that, both Pokémon were caught by the blue crocodile.

These two Pokémon are the Crested Tundra that Crocodile is currently holding.

After listening to Blue Crocodile's story, Anjie patted Blue Crocodile's head, both amused and exasperated, and said, "Who taught you all this? You even know how to threaten others."

"Wow, wow, wow!" Blue Crocodile grinned, indicating that he learned it all from TV.

Because Anjie installed televisions in the staff dormitories, and they were exposed to more human culture and ideas, Anjie's Pokémon became increasingly intelligent, and their way of thinking became more and more like humans.

Anjie then said to the blue crocodile, "Let the fish and shrimp be eaten, it's no big deal, no need to make a fuss."

Anjie raised a lot of fish and shrimp, more than he could eat himself. He didn't plan to sell them, but would occasionally send some to the palace for Jimia and Edward to try.

Angie was indeed heartbroken to see them escape, but he wouldn't be so reluctant if they were eaten by wild Pokémon.

Although not angry, Anjie still disapproved of the thief's actions, so he looked at the two Ancient Moon Birds and said:

"Do you know that all the fish and shrimp in the lake are raised by me? Taking them without asking is stealing, so Blue Crocodile is perfectly justified in teaching you a lesson!"

"Uh ah~~" Upon hearing this, the two Ancient Moon Birds lowered their heads in disappointment.

They didn't actually know that the fish and shrimp in Lake Nibel belonged to someone.

Seeing this, An Jie said, "It seems you are unaware of the situation. In that case, I will spare you this time."

"Uh~uh~" Upon hearing this, the two Ancient Moon Birds looked at Anjie gratefully.

At Anjie's signal, the Blue Crocodile released the two Ancient Moon Birds.

Anjie asked in confusion, "Where did you two come from?"

The Crested Moonbird mostly inhabits the Galar region, and is rarely seen in the Carlos region.

"Uh~uh~~" One of the Ancient Moon Birds flapped its wings and pointed to the distant mountains.

It turns out they are Pokémon that live in the upper reaches of the Nibel River. Their ancestors did indeed come from the Galar region and came to Kalos a long time ago with merchant ships, where they settled down.

They used to live carefree by the river, but last night's sudden downpour and strong winds forced them to leave their home.

Amidst the raging storm, they inadvertently arrived at the Nibel Plateau.

They were so hungry that they couldn't wait to catch them after discovering that there were many fish and shrimp in Lake Nibel.

After listening to Gu Yue Niao's story, An Jie thought to himself: It's all Kyogre's fault!

Looking at the two ancient moon birds, Anjie's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Are you very good at fishing?"

"Uh~uh~" That's right, we never miss a catch when we're fishing!

A Crested Moonbird proudly puffed out its chest.

Anjie added, "I have a job for you. If you do a good job, I can provide you with food, enough to fill your stomachs!"

Upon hearing this, the two ancient moon birds looked at Anjie with shining eyes.

"Uh...uh..." What kind of job? What kind of job?

The two ancient moon birds secretly vowed in their hearts that they would definitely latch onto this powerful figure!

Anjie replied, "Because of the heavy rain last night, many of my fish escaped into the lake, and it's very difficult to catch them. If you can help me catch them, you'll definitely get a good reward!"

Hearing that Anjie had raised a lot of fish, the two Guyue birds were practically drooling. They were even more convinced that Anjie was the key to their success, so they patted their chests and vowed to complete the mission!

Just as they were eager to get to work, Anjie said with a smile, "No rush, fill your stomachs first, then you'll have the energy to work."

"Uh~uh~" Are you going to give us some food?

"A moon bird asked."

"Yes!" Anjie nodded.

"Uh~ Uh~"

"Uh~ Uh~"

Upon hearing this, Anjie, as seen by the two Ancient Moon Birds, began to radiate golden light, and his figure continued to grow taller.

God! This is the God sent by Heaven to save us!

So, under the admiring and grateful gazes of the two ancient moon birds, Anjie took them home and made them two large bowls of fried rice with the leftovers from lunch.

The moment they tasted the fried rice, the two Crested Moon Birds looked at Anjie with even greater admiration.

good to eat!too delicious!

Their judgment was correct; this person must be a god, otherwise how could he possibly make such delicious food?

They had never eaten anything so delicious before. Even their favorite fish couldn't compare to this fried rice!

After the two Crested Moonbirds had eaten and drunk their fill, Anjie led them to Lake Nibel.

Meanwhile, in the lake, Water-type Pokémon were busily navigating the water, all trying to catch the fish before they escaped Lake Nebel, minimizing Angel's losses as much as possible.

Unfortunately, too many fish escaped, making them difficult to catch.

Anjie pointed to the fish in the lake that occasionally leaped out of the water as the Water-type Pokémon chased them and said to the two Crested Tundra:

"Let me see what you're capable of!"

"Ugh~ Ugh~" Two ancient moon birds cried out, then flapped their wings and flew to the center of the lake, where they stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, their previously dull gazes suddenly sharpened, and they began to scan the lake.

After staring at the lake for a while, the two ancient moon birds suddenly swooped down one after the other and plunged into the lake.

In just a moment, Anjie saw them burst out of the water again.

At this moment, they each had a plump fish in their mouths.

In that instant, the two Crested Moonbirds smoothly used two skills simultaneously: diving and pecking.

They use diving to quickly enter the water and catching fish nimbly by pecking at the bait.

These are skills they have honed day after day in their daily lives, and they have long since mastered them to perfection.

The fish thrashed their tails forcefully, trying to break free, but no matter how strong they looked, they couldn't escape the Guyue bird.

In an instant, Mosquito Coil Tadpole, Mosquito Coil Swimmer, Marill, Marillelle, and Lapras all looked up, gazing in amazement at the Crescent Moon Bird in the sky.

What superb fishing skills!

Sensing everyone's gaze, the two ancient moon birds couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Then, under Anjie's command, the two Ancient Moon Birds used their spraying skill to accurately shoot the fish in their mouths into the fishing grounds.

After falling into the water, the fish flicked its tail and then, in a panic, dove into the water and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Anjie gave the two ancient moon birds a thumbs up.

"qualified!"

Upon hearing this, the two ancient moon birds exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing excitement.

I've managed to latch onto their coattails!

Then they began to work hard to catch fish, shrimp and crabs.

Their work efficiency is several times higher than that of other Water-type Pokémon.

Other Water-type Pokémon need to chase a fish for a long time to catch it, but two Crested Tundra can catch it in one fell swoop as long as they seize the right opportunity.

Looking at the work done by the two ancient moon birds, Anjie felt that he had a keen eye for talent.

Seeing that the moon birds were full of energy, Anjie left the fishing grounds to inspect other places.

He hadn't even properly learned about the damage Kyogre had caused to the Nibel Plateau; he'd only heard a rough outline from other Pokémon.

He first went to the nearby orchard, where he saw Bricaron, Big Flower, and Mrs. Flower were all busy. He didn't disturb them and quietly turned around and went to the pigsty.

Robert 2 is working urgently to repair the pigpen so that the pigs can return home as soon as possible.

Robert 2 was busy in the pigpen, while its true form, the Metagross, was repairing the stone gate underground.

When Anjay went to visit Metagross, he was surprised to find that Metagross was actually renovating the underground shrine, and had already completed more than half of the renovation.

The underground shrine, which was not very sturdy to begin with, has been reinforced and is now made of metal walls, giving it a high-tech feel.

No wonder the stone gate hasn't been repaired yet; it turns out the Metagross wasn't just fixing the mechanisms, it was doing something else along the way.

"Metamorphosis, what are you going to do with this place?" Angie asked, puzzled.

"Meta~Meta~" Metagross responded to Ange.

It turns out that they planned to transform this ancestral hall into an underground laboratory to conduct experiments that were not convenient for others to know about.

"I see... Well then, good luck!" Anjie didn't understand the experiment, so he could only silently support Metagross.

Seeing that the Megalodon was too busy to pay attention to him, Angie simply left the underground shrine.

Then he went to the vegetable garden, learned about the situation there, and then went to see the lush green pastures cultivated by his mountain goats.

The torrential rains have caused varying degrees of damage throughout the Nibel Plateau.

As they strolled around, evening arrived before they knew it, and Anjie returned to the fish farm.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the Water-type Pokémon, nearly half of the fish, shrimp, and crabs that escaped from the fishing grounds have been recovered.

Don't think that half isn't much; in fact, An Jie was already very satisfied. He had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility that he might not be able to find it again.

"Everyone, let's go home and have dinner!" Anjie shouted at the top of her lungs.

Hearing Ange's call, the Water-type Pokémon looked up at the setting sun and swam towards the shore in groups.

As for Lapras, Light Cod, Goldfish King, Magikarp, and Feebas, they followed the waterway back to the fifth level of the secret fortress.

They have difficulty moving around on land, so their dinners are delivered by Angie or Tianshi.

Two ancient moon birds flapped their wings and flew to Anjie's side.

Anjie smiled and said to them, "You did a great job today. Eat as much as you want for dinner!"

Two ancient moon birds happily circled in the air.

This is just too wonderful!

After saying that, Ange led his Pokémon home in a grand procession.

As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, they smelled a delicious aroma wafting from the house. It turned out that Snorlax, along with Inteleon, Lucario, and Saber, had already prepared the meal.

The Pokémon took their seats in an orderly fashion. Two Crested Tundra followed suit, landing on a wooden bench and looking at the big guys with curious eyes.

This was their first time spending time with so many Pokémon, let alone eating together.

Watching everyone chatting and laughing while waiting for dinner, the two Crested Moonbirds were extremely envious.

That's wonderful! Everyone looks so happy.

They looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time.

They want to join this big family and stay here forever!

Meanwhile, Kyogre, whose wounds had almost healed, smelled the aroma of food filling the air and tears involuntarily streamed from the corners of his mouth.
