Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 96 Temporary Stay on the Beach

"Although the Megalodon has already left, I think it's best if you stay here for the night, just to be on the safe side, and then set off tomorrow!"

Chiba Kaede offered her advice to the four of them.

After all, they didn't know what was going on in the sea. If the megalodon was just hiding in the water, waiting for them to come out before launching an attack, then the situation would be dangerous.

"I also think this arrangement is more appropriate. Of course, you are the employers, so it's up to you to decide!"

Old Man Hachi actually agreed with Chiba Kaede's suggestion, but he still needed to consider the opinions of the other employers.

"I have no objection; in fact, I don't think staying overnight is very safe!"

After recalling the danger he had just encountered, Shizuru Ishikawa said with a lingering fear on his face.

For Shizuru Ishikawa, the recent megalodon attack left a deep psychological scar, instilling in her a nameless fear of the ocean and even prompting her to consider withdrawing from the trip.

The two boys were also quite distressed, but after a period of adjustment, they had felt much better. However, they felt that staying overnight was a good option to calm their panicked emotions.

After reaching an agreement, the three began to set up a temporary tent, while the old man Hachi asked King Yan to take him to the speedboat. He needed to check and repair the speedboat to ensure that it could set sail normally the next day.

"By the way, Xiaofeng, I just looked around and found that this beach is surrounded by dense forest. How did you find this place?"

After circling around, Kinoshita Kosuke asked Chiba Kaede a question. ✌👣 69ˢ𝓗Ǘ𝓧.ᶜᗝΜ 💛🍭

"I discovered this place by chance, and I think it's perfect for training Pokémon."

Chiba Kaede didn't want to bring up anything about shipwrecks or similar matters, so he just laughed it off.

With the arrival of these people, it became inconvenient for Chiba Kaede to continue training her Pokémon, so she picked up her fishing rod again and went to the beach to fish.

The group of people who had set up their tents, bored, came over to him and watched him fish.

"Xiao Feng, what kind of Pokémon have you caught here?"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede looked like a seasoned fisherman with a full set of fishing gear, Shizuru Ishikawa asked her about it out of curiosity.

"Well, there was some harvest, but there aren't many types of Pokémon here."

Chiba Kaede said somewhat guiltily.

Previously, because he needed to seek help from the speedboat that was surrounded by the Sharpedo group, he also recalled Magikarp and Feebas into their Poké Balls, fearing that they would be attacked by Sharpedo in the sea.

To maintain his image as a seasoned angler, he wouldn't honestly reveal his previous catches, or he'd be laughed at to death.

Kosuke Kinouchi didn't have much of a feeling for Water-type Pokémon, so after watching for a while, he left to explore the dense forest.

Goichi Ishibashi and Shizuru Ishikawa, who remained behind, also took out their fishing rods. As trainers traveling abroad, fishing rods are practically essential items.

"Wow, starfish!"

Shortly after Shizuru Ishikawa put the lure into the water, she noticed a Pokémon taking the bait. When she pulled it up, she found it was a starfish, which thrilled her.

Staryu evolves into Starmie, a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon with a gorgeous appearance, making it perfect for challenging Grand Festivals. 💘😂 ➅❾𝓼𝐇ย𝕏.ℂㄖ𝕄 🌷💲

Therefore, Shizuru Ishikawa immediately decided to capture the Staryu in front of her. With her Grass-type Pokémon Bellossom, she easily defeated Staryu and captured it.

After taming the starfish, Shizuru Ishikawa was overjoyed. He immediately stopped fishing and went to the distant beach to interact with the starfish, intending to cultivate a bond with it.

"Haha, I've got an elf hooked too!"

Half an hour after Ishikawa Shizuru left, Ishibashi Goichi, who, like Chiba Kaede, persisted on the front line of fishing, suddenly shouted.

Chiba Kaede looked up and saw that his fishing float had completely sunk, while Ishibashi Goichi was also struggling against the water sprite.

The struggle between the human and the spirit took longer than Chiba Kaede had anticipated. After about 10 minutes, the spirit in the water was finally thrown onto the shore by Ishibashi Goichi's angry roar.

"Hippocampus!"

Chiba Kaede's mentality was about to explode. Were these two sent by heaven to provoke him? Weren't there only Magikarp here? Was his luck really that bad?

As Ishiba watched Shibako capture the Black Seahorse, Chiba Kaede asked himself three soul-searching questions, feeling that he was being targeted by the Pokémon here.

"Xiao Feng, I'm satisfied that I was able to capture the Black Seahorse today, so I'll be leaving now!"

After taming the Black Seahorse, Goichi Ishibashi lost interest in fishing and decided to try to build a relationship with it and gain its approval.

Chiba Kaede simply nodded blankly, then continued his fishing adventure.

"Finally, it's my turn!"

After a while, Chiba Kaede's fishing float finally stirred, being dragged down by the water sprites. With the correct demonstrations from the previous two people, Chiba Kaede felt that this time he could also catch rare sprites.

After a struggle, Chiba Kaede, filled with longing for the rare Water-type Pokémon, used all her strength to fling up a red figure.

"Magikarp!"

Looking at the familiar figure before him, Chiba Kaede wished he could throw away the fishing rod in his hand.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Chiba Kaede walked over expressionlessly, grabbed Magikarp's tail, and threw it back into the sea.

He had done this action many times before, so the action of catching the fish was done in one smooth motion.

The two people on the beach were stunned by this scene, thinking that he was indeed a veteran fisherman. His movements in catching the carp were so skillful. It was impossible to do this without a long period of training.

Undeterred, Chiba Kaede caught a few more carp after that, but then decided to give up and fish in a different spot. He felt that this place was not suitable for him and that he would have to find another place to fish next time.

"Grandpa Hatch, how's your boat? Will it affect your trip tomorrow?"

"Ishibashi asked."

After Old Man Hachi finished repairing the speedboat, he was brought back by King Yan.

The three men, worried about whether the speedboat could depart on time, also hurriedly gathered around, all wanting to hear the results of the old man Hachi's inspection.

"Don't worry, my boat is fine and can sail normally. Of course, if the Megalodon pack hasn't left yet, that's another story."

Old man Hachi smiled and spoke to everyone.

However, his expression revealed that he still had some concerns. He was also afraid that the Megalodon clan had not left, but was hiding and waiting for them to take the bait.

Hearing what the old man Hachi said, the three of them didn't seem very happy. They clearly had their own concerns, but they didn't want to waste any more time on the beach.

"Um, could you take me with you to Martial Arts Town tomorrow? I'm realizing I haven't challenged a Martial Arts Gym yet!"

While the four remained silent, Chiba Kaede interjected.

"That's no problem at all! I feel much more at ease with Xiaofeng on board!"

Kosuke Kiuchi patted Kaede Chiba on the shoulder and replied happily.

The others naturally had no objections. Judging from the strength Chiba Kaede displayed when he rescued them today, it was clear that his Pokémon were very strong, and he also had the Electric-type Swellow, which was perfect for countering the Sharpedo group. Not to mention, he also had the flying mount Swellow.

In short, with Chiba Kaede joining them, they felt much more at ease about the safety of tomorrow's flight, and at least they weren't as afraid as before.

Chiba Kaede suggested traveling with them mainly because he wanted to hitch a ride. Martial Arts Town was located on a small island, and Chiba Kaede dared not let the Great Swallow fly across the ocean directly there. If they encountered any accidents during the flight, they would have nowhere to land.

Of course, in the eyes of the old man Hachi and the others, Chiba Kaede was only kindly escorting them to Martial Arts Town because he was worried that something might happen to them. As for challenging the dojo, that was just a side thing.
