Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 121 Laplace

"Laplace!"

Chiba Kaede exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn't expected that he would catch a Laplace this time, which is a very rare elf, because these elves mostly live in groups and rarely appear alone.

"Mosquito Coil, use Brick Break!"

At this point, Chiba Kaede couldn't care less about anything else and decided to subdue the Lapras first.

Laplace, which had been pulled to the surface by Chiba Kaede, was also a little angry, so it did not leave immediately. Instead, it sprayed a water gun from its mouth, but it had no effect on Mosquito Coil, which has the property of storing water.

Meanwhile, Mosquito Coil had arrived in front of Laplace and chopped down on its head with its right hand, which stunned Laplace. However, Mosquito Coil did not stop there and retaliated with another Brick Break attack on its neck.

After taking two powerful Brick Break attacks, Laplace could no longer hold on and passed out.

Seeing the opportunity, Chiba Kaede threw the Ultra Ball he had prepared earlier. For a Pokémon like Lapras with a base stat total of 535, he felt that using an Ultra Ball was safer.

Laplace, who had already lost consciousness, was hit directly by the Ultra Ball. A red light enveloped its entire body and then subdued it.

The advanced ball only wobbled twice before stabilizing, which meant that Chiba Kaede had successfully subdued Laplace.

"hey-hey!"

Chiba Kaede held the high-level ball in his hand and couldn't help but grin foolishly. ✌😳 ➅➈ѕ𝓱𝔲乂.𝔠𝓞𝐦 ☟🐠

Not only because he had caught a rare Laplace, but also because he had caught it by fishing, he felt that he had taken another big step closer to becoming a fishing master.

After spacing out for a while, Chiba Kaede released Lapras from its Poké Ball and then used his ability to heal its injuries.

Unsurprisingly, Laplace was immediately captivated by the miraculous effects of the life energy, and after the treatment, it experienced an unprecedented sense of well-being.

Furthermore, since Chiba Kaede had captured it fairly and squarely through her strength, Laplace quickly accepted Chiba Kaede as its trainer.

Watching Laplace play with Mosquito Coil in the sea, Chiba Kaede began to look up some information about Laplace.

The upper half of Laplace's body is blue, while the skin from its chin to the tip of its tail is white. It has a protrusion on its head and spiral structures on either side. It has a gray shell on its back with many uneven bumps. It has four fins, the first two being the largest. Its skin is smooth and feels slightly cool to the touch.

Lapras is an intelligent and kind-hearted Pokémon. It is extremely cold-resistant and unafraid of icy seas. It possesses high intelligence, can understand human language, enjoys carrying people on its journeys across the sea, and seems to sing beautifully when in a good mood.

After catching Lapras, Chiba lost interest in fishing and decided to go back and wait for Ash and the others to return. After all, it was already close to evening, and they should be back soon.

Sure enough, not long after, Chiba Kaede saw a ship docked at the pier, and then Ash and his friends disembarked one after another.

"Xiao Feng, it's such a shame you didn't go today! We found a shipwreck treasure!"

After meeting Chiba Kaede, Xiaozhi excitedly told him about what had happened that afternoon.

Chiba Kaede listened more and more and felt that it was the right thing to not go. Ash and his friends were chasing Team Rocket in the deep sea, and their submarine almost broke apart. In the end, they were almost trapped and died in the deep-sea cave where the shipwreck was located.

If it weren't for the help of the ancient coelacanth, they might still be trapped in the deep-sea cave.

The so-called treasure they painstakingly retrieved from Team Rocket was nothing more than a box of green fragments, worth practically nothing.

In short, the risks and returns are completely disproportionate.

"By the way, Xiaofeng, what have you been doing lately?"

Xiao Yao asked with some curiosity.

"Come out, Laplace!"

Chiba Kaede just smiled faintly, then released Lapras from the Poké Ball. He wouldn't let such a moment of showing off pass him by.

"Wow, it's Laplace! That's an incredibly rare Pokémon!"

When Xiao Sheng saw Laplace, he excitedly ran up to it, touching it here and looking at it there, appearing very excited.

"I miss those days. I wonder how my Laplace is doing now?"

Ash looked at the Lapras in front of him and couldn't help but recall the Lapras he had caught during his travels in the Orange Islands. However, Lapras later found its lost group, so Ash released it back into the group.

"Laplace is indeed rare, but Xiaofeng, what are you trying to say by showing it off?"

Although Xiao Yao also liked Laplace, she didn't know why Chiba Kaede suddenly released Laplace.

So, Chiba Kaede told the others about her leisure time in the afternoon and how she caught the Laplace from the reef area.

"Wow, I wish I had gone fishing with you! I really want to catch a Lapras too!"

After hearing what Qianye Feng said, Xiao Yao said with great envy.

Although she knew that even if she had been fishing there, she might not have been able to catch Laplace, she still couldn't help but think so.

"Xiao Feng, could you let your Laplace take me for a ride on the sea? I've never ridden in a Laplace before!"

Xiaosheng suddenly ran up to Chiba Kaede and said with a pleading look on his face.

"You can ask Laplace for that yourself; as long as he agrees, it'll be fine. But be careful!"

Chiba Kaede would certainly not refuse the request, but it still depended on Laplace's own willingness.

After learning of Chiba Kaede's attitude, Kacchan ran to Laplace and said something. Before long, he was sitting on Laplace's back and going further away.

"Seriously, Kacchan is such a headache!"

Seeing her younger brother Xiaosheng riding his Laplace away into the distance, Xiaoyao was worried about his safety and couldn't help but complain.

Fortunately, Xiao Sheng didn't keep them waiting for too long; in just a short while, Laplace returned to the beach.

"How did it feel to ride on Laplace's back?"

Chiba Kaede looked at Kosei, who seemed to be enjoying himself more, and asked him a question.

"This is amazing! It's a completely different experience from traveling by boat. When I become a trainer, I'm going to catch a Lapras and have it carry me on my sea voyages!"

Xiao Sheng said excitedly.

"Alright, alright, I've been busy all day, I'm starving, let's go!"

Xiao Yao rubbed her rumbling stomach and urged them on.

Because of their shared hardships today, the Kusaya couple had a good impression of Ash and his friends, so they invited them to their home. Of course, Chiba Kaede was just an extra, since he wasn't on a treasure hunt.

After enjoying a sumptuous meal, Xiao Yao learned from Li Tao how to make jewelry using the green fragments, while the others went for a stroll on the beach and didn't rest until very late.

The next morning, after bidding farewell to the Kusaya couple, Chiba Kaede and her group boarded a ship bound for the Iroha Islands. Before their departure, they all received some jewelry made from green shards as gifts from Rimo.

Chiba Kaede did not accept the offer directly, but instead spent Alliance Coins to purchase some. After all, his relationship with the two was not that good, and there was no need for him to take advantage of them.

The Iroha Islands are actually composed of three adjacent small islands called Inoshima, Roshima, and Hashima. There is a Pokémon Center on Inoshima, while there are only teleportation devices on Hashima and Roshima, which can be used to teleport Pokémon that are seriously ill to Inoshima.
