Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Wow, there are so many people!"

Zheya looked at the huge flow of people in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that because the elf world is vast and sparsely populated, except for a few grand events or popular tourist attractions, it is rare to see groups of people gathering.

He had never seen so many people the last time he visited White Cape.

Not to mention near fishing grounds that are relatively close to urban suburbs.

Although Zhe also learned about it on the elf forum before setting off to participate in this competition, he was still a little surprised by such a grand occasion.

No wonder the fishing ground is willing to give such a good reward to the champion, which is equivalent to advertising.

I saw a large banner hanging at the entrance of the fishing ground in front of me, with the words "Lea Fishing Ground Fishing Competition" written on it.

Looking around, there are people dressed as fishermen all around.

Familiar people stood together in twos and threes, carrying fishing rods and tool boxes, chatting and laughing.

Of course, there are also many trainers like Tetsuya who came here empty-handed with the intention of participating.

If I win a championship or something, I can make a small fortune, right?

"Hey, Tetsuya, good afternoon!"

A voice saying hello came from behind.

Zheye turned around and said hello with a smile, "Xiaoye, good afternoon."

A man with yellow hair who looked like a delinquent was standing behind him.

He glanced at the other person's shoulder and said, "Why don't you see your Pikachu?"

"It is undergoing special training with Brother Ma Zhishi's Raichu." The boy responded.

Xiaoye, whose full name is Fenglinye, is the grandson of the previous owner of the Dead Leaf Gym. Tetsuya met him on the St. Annuo, and he is a man with a sense of justice.

"Speaking of which, Brother Ma Zhishi told me about you before." Xiao Ye said with a smile, "He later found out that you were the champion of the St. Ann's competition, and he has been praising you."

The two laughed and exchanged a few words.

The reason why Xiao Ye appears here is very simple, because one of the major shareholders behind Leiya Fishing Ground is Dry Leaf Gym, and this time he is one of the leaders of the fishing competition.

Just before coming here in the afternoon, Tetsuya wanted to contact the heir of the Dead Leaf Gym, so the two made an appointment to meet.

"Come on, I'll take you in first to get the registration done."

Xiaoye greeted Zheya and walked into the fishing ground.

It was still some time before the game started, and most of the contestants chose to wait outside.

After all, most of them are fishing enthusiasts and had signed up through other methods a few days ago.

Only a small number of trainers like Tetsuya who are temporarily staying from outside will come here to sign up on the spot.

Walking into the door, Tetsuya couldn't help but admire the huge sparkling lake in front of him.

Combined with the forests and mountains in the distance, the scene in front of you is simply beautiful.

"It's big! It's beautiful!" Xiaoye introduced proudly, "The lake in Leia Fishing Ground is called Poseidon Lake, which leads directly to the ocean. It is rumored that someone saw the figure of Lukia, the God of the Sea, here a long time ago.

Got its name.

This is also the largest lake near Kuye City.

Because it is backed by forests and mountains, the scenery is very good.

This is not only a fishing spot, but also a major attraction in Kuye City!"

When we arrived at a bunch of tents by the lake, we ignored the tents that marked the registration location.

Xiaoye took Zheya into a yellow tent, where there was only one person sitting at the computer desk.

"Uncle Lei, sign up for my friend."

The uncle known as Uncle Lei took Tetsuya's ID card with a smile and began to enter the information.

Taking advantage of this time, Xiaoye continued to explain to Tetsuya.

“This time we mainly divided four small lake sites as fishing competition locations, numbered from one to four, and each site has 24 fishing spots.

Among them, the number and weight of Magikarp released into the lake are completely random, and no one knows the situation, so there is no good or bad distinction in the venue.

But I can ask Uncle Lei to give you a better fishing spot so that you can go there in advance."

"Is there anything special about fishing spots?" Zheye made a confused voice.

Xiaoye also looked at him with confusion, "Didn't you go fishing every afternoon on the St. Annuo? Although sea fishing is different from this, it's not like you don't know about it."

"I just fished for fun, I didn't know about it before." Zheye shrugged.

Xiaoye rolled her eyes, "Then you are really patient. You can stay here for so long while fishing and playing. I can't bear to sit around."

Then he and Zheya started to popularize the so-called fishing spots, and Zheye probably understood a little bit.

Due to various reasons, Magikarp will gather in groups in a few areas, while other places are scattered.

Experienced fishermen can determine which areas are where these groups of carp are active, and then fish there to improve their results.

There are always good and bad points among the 24 fishing spots in each venue, which is also part of the championship test.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the carp in good fishing spots must be heavier, but the probability is that the chances of catching them are higher than in other places.

There were previous records of someone catching a very large carp in a wild spot that was not a fishing spot, but this kind of thing is rare to see in ten years.

"Uncle Lei was a master fisherman who won six consecutive championships at our Dry Leaf Fishing Ground. He is quite impressive!"

Xiao Ye introduced the unprepossessing uncle in front of Tetsuya just now.

The uncle smiled modestly and returned the ID card to Tetsuya, and then handed him three special catching balls and the fishing rod temporarily lent by the competition official to the contestants.

After communicating for a while, Xiaoye and Zheye walked out of the tent.

The two discussed the issue of elf training. Xiaoye looked at the time and left to do things.

Zheye came to the No. 3 lake site he was assigned to alone.

As the competition time approached, scattered people began to circle around the venue. Through the understanding just now, Zheya knew that they were choosing fishing spots.

After taking a look, I saw that the 24 fishing spots around were clearly marked with flags, and each flag had a number on it.

"At No. 18, ah, it's over there."

Zheye strolled towards the fishing spot that Uncle Lei had just told him about. There were already several uncle-level fishermen sitting there.

Seeing Tetsuya walking over carelessly, carrying a fishing rod for beginners temporarily loaned by the official, everyone had a rough idea.

One of them asked with a smile: "Young people don't seem to like fishing. Are you here to feel the atmosphere?"

"Ah, yes, uncle, look at 18. If you want to post it, this fishing spot is definitely very good."

Zheye pulled the cowhide firmly.

Several fishermen were also dumbfounded. This little guy was considered a fool with a blessing.

"Yes, this place is really good, so you have to work hard!"

Several people were very friendly and encouraged Tetsuya.
