Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The injury made the Weedle more hardworking and diligent, and in Xia Yan's opinion, the injury was worth it, especially since he also gained a Pokémon egg.

"Eat some energy cubes, things might not be easy later." He took out an energy cube and handed it to the unicorn beetle.

His decision to go to Fengluochuan wasn't entirely impulsive.

Ever since the last vine monster quest made him suspicious, he's been looking for a way out.

If he leaves the club, how will he make money? Or how will he make quick money?

The first thought that flashed through my mind was to capture wild Pokémon, become a Pokémon hunter, catch some relatively valuable Pokémon, and sell them on the black market.

Whether for the sake of the future or to secure resources for the second elf, Casey, who will be born soon, this is undoubtedly a good choice.

So when he heard Sanfu say that the Fengluochuan River was starting to overflow, he set his sights on this place.

The reason is simple: after the river overflows, the wild water-type Pokémon in the water become more active, and rain will also cause many water-type Pokémon to float to the surface, making them easier to catch.

While Weedle doesn't have much of a type advantage over Water-type Pokémon, Water-type Pokémon also don't have a type advantage over Weedle.

Besides, the value of a Water-type Pokémon is much higher than that of Caterpie, Weedle, or Rattata.

Except for a certain fish.

The most important thing.

It's raining today.

The wild spirits of the forest have all gone into hiding; clearly, there is no more suitable place than Maplefall River.

Splash—

Soon, after traversing the muddy path, Xia Yan and Unicorn Beetle arrived at the side of Maple Fall River.

It is clear that the riverbank of Fengluochuan has been completely submerged, and even the adjacent grassland has not been spared.

The turbidity of the river is showing a trend of worsening.

In the churning river, faint shadows can be seen floating near the surface, enjoying the fresh air and frolicking.

Every now and then, you can see a few golden tails popping out of the water, splashing up a lot of water.

Rainy days bring silence to the wild spirits of the forest, but for the water spirits of the river, it is their happiest time.

"Huh?" the unicorn beetle exclaimed excitedly.

How to do?

"Don't rush, wait a bit longer, let the rain fall for a while, and find a suitable target to test the waters." Xia Yan's eyes were fixed on the lake surface, searching for a suitable target.

"Waaah!"

Unicorn indicated that it was ready and could begin at any time.

Suddenly.

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, "Found it!"

He commanded the unicorn beetle, "That shadow, spin silk and attach the electric current to the electric grid!"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Not as fragrant as a fishing rod?

hiss--

A crystalline thread shot out rapidly, its target the reflection in the water. At the same time, bright arcs of electricity could be seen leaping along the thread.

This is a combination of the String Shot and Electric Net moves, a special way of using it that Xia Yan trained alongside the Counter Shield when training Unicorn.

As the silk thread entered the lake, the lightning that had been swirling around it quickly disappeared into the water.

In Xia Yan's previous life, there was a rather vivid term for this method of dealing with water-type spirits.

Electric fishing.

Electric-type moves are super effective against Water-type Pokémon, and with the powerful stickiness of String Shot, the shadow in the water that was hit by Weedle couldn't help but tremble and its body stiffened briefly.

"pull!"

The unicorn understood, gripped the ground tightly with its legs, and pulled hard with all its might.

wow-

As the water broke open, a sprite was pulled out of the water, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before fluttering and flying to the shore, finally landing in a small puddle not far from Xia Yan and the Unicorn Beetle.

It is a fish spirit with a mostly white body, red limb joints, pink and sexy lips, fins on both sides of its body, a wavy tail, and sharp horns on its head.

"Goldfish?" Xia Yan said, revealing the name of the Pokémon.

Goldeen is a relatively common water-type Pokémon, and it can be found in some wild lakes or rivers with decent water quality.

These sprites have a relatively gentle nature and will not attack unless provoked. Their diet consists mostly of aquatic plants or plankton found in their habitat.

But if you provoke them, their sharp horns are not to be trifled with and will launch a fierce attack on the object that angers them.

For example, right now.

The goldfish, which was leisurely enjoying the fast-flowing water on a rainy day, was caught in a thread that fell from the sky and was forcibly pulled out of the river.

Most importantly, the thread carried an electric current, which was undoubtedly the last thing Goldeen, a water-type spirit, would like.

So when the goldfish saw the culprit, the weevil, its eyes were filled with anger, and it leaped out of the water with a sudden flick of its tail.

The goldfish has a particularly powerful tail, allowing it to swim at a speed of 5 knots and even climb waterfalls, thus providing it with enough strength to leave the water and launch an attack.

A thick white line drew a straight line in the air, and the pointed horn above it emitted a milky white halo.

Normal-type move, Corner Slam!

The goldfish's favorite way of attacking, and a means of expressing anger.

Even though Xia Yan and Unicorn Beetle were prepared, their expressions changed slightly when they saw the speed of the goldfish.

They abandoned their original coping strategies.

"Get out of the way! Run!" Xia Yan shouted immediately.

The unicorn closed its slightly open mouth, and its seven pairs of legs moved rapidly, making full use of its "escape" ability to avoid the goldfish's attack.

Weedle's ability is the stealth ability "Run Away," which Xia Yan, its trainer, already knew, so he had been deliberately training Weedle's movement speed.

In battle, the "Run Away" ability may not be effective if the Weedle is running towards the enemy, but it can be cleverly used to escape or avoid a forward-rushing attack.

Xia Yan was not surprised by the performance of the unicorn beetle. What made him choose to abandon his original plan was the speed of the goldfish.

I looked up at the sky, and the drizzling rain continued. Then it dawned on me.

"Is it because of its free-swimming nature that this goldfish can move so fast?"

At the same time, I made a preliminary assessment of the strength of this goldfish.

Pokémon: Goldfish

Attribute: Water

Features: Flexible and free

Strength assessment: Qualified

Mastered move: Corner Strike

Once you understand your opponent's situation, dealing with them becomes much simpler.

"Get out of the way, electric fence."

When the goldfish landed and thrashed around on the wet ground, seemingly trying to vent its anger by attacking again, Xia Yan decisively ordered the unicorn beetle to launch the first attack.

An electric net large enough to cover the entire goldfish was spat out as the unicorn beetle moved.

The sticky spider web and the accompanying electric current undoubtedly caused considerable trouble for the goldfish.

While the fish was in trouble, the unicorn shot out several poisonous needles that pierced the goldfish's body, causing considerable injury.

They were directly poisoned.

The toxins from the enhanced unicorn worms should not be underestimated. The goldfish struggled fiercely for a few moments, but only accelerated the spread of the toxins.

Soon, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

Xia Yan threw out a Poké Ball at the right moment and, unsurprisingly, captured the Goldeen, which had completely lost consciousness.

He picked up the Poké Ball that Weedle had brought back, squeezed it gently, and a sum of money was in his hands.

Although Goldeen is not a very popular fighting-type Pokémon, it is not cheap.

There is no other reason.

looks good!

Many wealthy people like to place a large fish tank in their office or home and keep a few gentle and beautiful goldfish. This not only enhances the aesthetics but also adds to their sophistication and highlights their wealth.

In Golden City, if you don't keep a few goldfish at home, you can't really call yourself rich.

Just like the club where Xia Yan works, there is a huge fish tank right after you enter, which keeps a lot of water-type spirits, including goldfish.

However, this fish tank was added recently; it wasn't there when he first joined the club.

Regardless, the market value of goldfish will not be low.

The mission was a success.

It has to be said that this is a good start.

An electric whip formed by combining the silk threads of a unicorn with the current of an electric grid.

Isn't it even better than a fishing rod?

Of course, this method is only really useful on rainy days like now, when water-type Pokémon become more active and like to stay near the water's surface. Otherwise, a fishing rod is still more reliable.

And the unicorn doesn't succeed every time.

Water has a refractive effect, and the location of water sprites is often deeper than the shadow they appear to be, so it's easy to make a mistake if you don't judge their position well.

The first time was by luck, a lucky accident, but the catch rate wasn't as high afterward.

Moreover, quite a few times the Pokémon I caught were Magikarp.

Xia Yan doesn't particularly like Pokémon that evolve into Gyarados but are essentially useless before evolution.
