Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"Haha, it happens all the time. Fishing is so interesting. You never know what kind of prey you're going to catch."

"indeed……"

Although Lowe had never fished in his previous life, he had at least visited fishing and releasing fish forums when he was bored. He had also heard of some fishermen who could catch everything but had some miserable experiences of not being able to catch any fish.

It's just that now that it has happened to me, it seems even more profound.

In short, Lowe calmed down and continued to cast out the fishing rod...

From then on until sunset, Lowe could be said to have reaped a rich harvest. Facing the row of "trophies" behind Lowe, even the experienced old sea wolves could not help but marvel at the view.

"Great! Why don't you consider becoming a marine protection officer? It is conservatively estimated that you have caught all the marine garbage within a radius of more than ten miles~"

"..."

Faced with this mysterious "luck" that is totally unreasonable, Lowe could only say with a smile, "... ahem, I think I will hit a big one with my next shot, really, believe me, I feel the feel is coming!"

As he said this, Lowe suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand tremble. He quickly pulled up the line and reeled in the rod in one go. Then, with a splash of water, he caught half a rubber tire.

"..."

Well, in a sense... it is indeed a "big guy"~

"...Let's take all this garbage ashore and dispose of it. I don't know who has such a lack of civic sense to dump so much garbage into the sea."

All we can say is that most people in this world are indeed morally superior, but that doesn't prevent there from always being one or two scums who litter.

Under normal circumstances, these crew members and sailors have no obligation to clean up marine garbage, but based on the average moral standards of this world, everyone will still help deal with some of the garbage they see.

Protecting the marine environment is also protecting our "home" on which we depend for survival, just as the so-called "environmental protection" is not so much about protecting the environment as it is about protecting human beings themselves.

What you say is that protecting the earth and reducing carbon emissions, the earth's carbon dioxide concentration has been fifty times higher than it is now, and the earth will still rotate as usual. The only thing that will be destroyed is the living things themselves...

Once this point is made clear, many things will become very simple and direct. Once this point is made clear, no one minds doing more good things.

Although Lowe personally doesn't mind doing more good deeds, the problem is that he is not here today to clean up marine debris.

Just as Lowe was feeling helpless in the face of this scene, Liliae behind him suddenly exclaimed.

"Hey, I've taken the bait!"

"Oh?"

At that moment, Lowe also put down the fishing rod in his hand and looked at Lilia curiously. He saw that Lilia's face was flushed and she was holding the fishing rod tightly in her hand. After all, she was indeed a petite type. Seeing that she was about to lose her grip on the fishing rod, Lowe quickly stepped forward and grabbed the fishing rod in Lilia's hand...

"Come, I'll help!"

Lowe's palm grabbed the fishing rod, and the fishing rod that was shaking violently immediately stabilized. With Lowe's help, there was a splashing sound of water, and a figure with a swinging tail jumped out from under the water.

As the figure flew up, it danced its body indignantly, as if it was quite dissatisfied with the way it was caught. As it swam, it stirred up a churning splash of water, which splashed towards the people on the boat.

"!"

Luo Wei immediately raised his eyebrows. Is he using some skill? After all, this is in the sea. If the opponent directly uses water skills, it will not be a joke to get hit at such a close distance.

The biggest danger of fishing is fighting with the fish. Normally, you might encounter a big fish that can drag you into the water. But this is the world of Pokémon. If you are not careful, you might even encounter a fish that can drag the entire boat away!

"Gardevoir!"

Lowe immediately called out, preparing to have Gardevoir activate its telekinetic barrier to block the opponent's skills, but the moment the water splashed over, it dissipated in mid-air with a splash, and did not touch anyone on the boat at all...

"..."

Lowe did not expect that this skill seemed to have a lot of power, but in fact it was completely useless. At that moment, a key word flashed through Lowe's mind.

He knew what he had caught...

...Sure enough, Lowe immediately saw the figure that was caught

"...Uh, Magikarp?"

Chapter 214: The Great Cruel used Water Splash, but nothing happened

"… Magikarp?"

The moment he saw this Pokémon, Lowe came to his senses. No wonder the other party's splashing water just now didn't produce any effect. It turned out that it was the famous "Water Splash"!

Magikarp used Water Splash, but nothing happened...

All in all, although Magikarp can be said to have the widest distribution and largest number in the entire Pokémon world's waters, and can basically be compared with Geodude and Zubat in the caves, it is at least a serious Pokémon after all.

It's much better than Lowe's voluntary job of cleaning up marine waste. The moment he saw the Magikarp, Lowe was aroused with a bit of nostalgia.

After all, according to the game settings, the tattered fishing rod available in the early stage can only catch Magikarp, so under normal circumstances, if you don't choose the Big Three Water Pokémon to start with, the first Water Pokémon most people get is usually Magikarp.

And in most cases, Magikarp, which can evolve at level 20, can be considered a Pokémon that can be obtained in the early stages, and its quality is considered to be quite good.

Especially the latest generations have added a lot of skills to its evolved Gyarados, which is at least quite useful in the early stages of clearing levels. It also has the divine attribute of Intimidation, which can reduce the attack of the opponent's Pokémon simply by appearing, and can work wonders in many cases.

The most important thing is that it looks cool! Although Gyarados itself has the attributes of water + flying, it does not have the dragon attribute as its name and image suggest. After all, in the first generation of Pokémon, there is only one dragon-type Pokémon, Dragonite, and even Charizard, one of the three starter Pokémon, does not have the treatment of a dragon-type Pokémon.

But at least whether it is Charizard or Gyarados, they are both very handsome Pokémon. How many people had Charizard and Gyarados as standard in their lineup when they cleared the four-color version...

For Lowe, Magikarp was a gain, but he was curious about Lillie's attitude towards Magikarp. After all, Magikarp was not rare at all. It was a Pokémon that was everywhere...

However, he soon found out that he was worrying too much. Liliae herself had a psychological shadow on wild Pokémon, but Magikarp should be one of the few Pokémon that would not trigger her psychological shadow at all.

After all, Magikarp has no attack skills at all before evolving, except for a collision skill it learns at level 15. Its signature skill, Water Splash, is a purely ornamental skill that is "completely useless".

Moreover, if it is in the water, it can at least rely on its "light" characteristics to avoid predators, but once it is on the shore, it is really a salted fish that can only flap its wings.

If you want to know why it is so weak, yet it can become the most numerous Pokémon in the entire water area, it may be because of Magikarp's two characteristics.

The first is naturally the characteristic of Magikarp: "lightness", which can double its speed in water. With this characteristic, if you can't defeat it, at least you can run away.

The second, more important reason is that the Magikarp itself has a body structure consisting of only scales, bones and a layer of skin. There is almost nothing worthy of predators' covetousness. It is the type that is given away for free...even high-level predators find it annoying.

This is in line with the famous saying, "As long as I am a waste, no one can use me!"

Coupled with its extremely strong reproductive ability, it has become a common Pokémon occupying large areas despite its extremely weak physique.

It's really unreasonable to say that you would be afraid of such a weak Pokémon. Apart from being able to splash water on your face, there is no part of its body that can pose a threat to people.

Even a weak girl like Liliae could easily grab its tail and lift it up on the shore.

After confirming this, Liliae calmed herself down and spoke seriously.

"I, I want to subdue this child!"

While she was saying this, she fumbled and took out a Poké Ball from her backpack...

It turned out to be a black and gold Poké Ball, which surprised Lowe...

"...Luxury ball? Okay."

Although he was a little surprised at first, Lowe was relieved soon. This deluxe ball has the effect of making it easier to increase intimacy with captured Pokémon. It is a very expensive high-level Poké Ball.

Since there is no difference between its capture rate and that of the red and white balls, there is no restriction that only elite trainers can use it. However, due to its high production cost, the selling price is about thirty times that of ordinary Poké Balls!

Of course, considering that ordinary Poké Balls are not particularly expensive, it’s just that Poké Balls are consumables for trainers. The price of a single one may not be high, but it’s hard to say when the quantity increases.

After all, not everyone is a one-ball superman, and Poké Balls themselves are consumables that require considerable consumption...

If there is a bonus to the capture rate, then there is still meaning in buying it. If it just makes it easier to increase favorability, most trainers will not be so extravagant as to use a luxury ball that costs thirty times as much.

But Liliae naturally didn't have such a problem. It was no problem for her to throw the luxury ball around as if it were a red or white ball. She didn't need the money anyway.

Therefore, Lowe also watched Lillie holding the luxury ball with interest, and looked at the Magikarp flapping on the deck as if facing a great enemy. Then he calmed himself, raised his hand and threw the luxury ball over.

At this distance, he was facing a salted fish that had come ashore. As a result, Lowe felt that there was nothing worth thinking about. The flying luxury ball hit the Magikarp steadily and quickly took it into the ball.

But after all, it was Liliae's first time to capture a Pokémon on her own initiative, so she stared at the shaking luxurious ball very nervously.

Finally, after shaking three times, there was a "ding" sound from the luxury ball, and the shaking stopped.

Liliae was delighted when she saw this, and immediately stepped forward to pick up the luxurious ball. She seemed very excited for a moment.

"Success, Lowe, I conquered Magikarp!"

"Yeah, congratulations, congratulations~"

Although in fact, taming Magikarp is nothing to be surprised about, it is Lillie's "first step" after all, so Lowe cooperated and sent his blessings. This was by no means a compliment, but a genuine happiness for Lillie.

"...Okay, you have to train this child well from now on. Although he is weak now, as long as you train him carefully, he will definitely become a reliable partner~"

"Ok!"

Lilia nodded vigorously, and Lowe's wrist was suddenly entangled by a ribbon.

"what happened?"

The ribbon belonged to Fairy Eevee, and she wrapped it around Lowe's wrist and kept shaking the ribbon, indicating the fishing rod that Lowe had placed beside him.

At this moment, the fishing rod began to shake vigorously...

Chapter 215 The most beautiful Pokémon~

"Oh, you took the bait?"

Luo Wei spent the entire day today battling various marine debris. He probably fished out all the marine debris within a few miles, which really made an outstanding contribution to the marine purification work...

Although it was not surprising that Lowe had such performance as a newcomer, after all, everyone starts out badly. However, even Liliae, who was also a newcomer, caught a Magikarp, while Lowe had nothing to gain. This was really a bit embarrassing for him.

Having said that, when Lowe felt the fishing rod start to vibrate again, he immediately became alert.

"I'm telling you, this time it must be..."

As a result, before Lowe could finish his words, the sea water suddenly parted, and a beam of azure blue light broke through the water surface, instantly freezing the surrounding area within a radius of dozens of meters into a thick layer of ice!

The azure blue light came towards Lowe who was holding the fishing rod. Lowe immediately realized it, but he was not worried at all.

With a flash of light, Gardevoir moved in an instant and stood in front of Lowe. It glared with one eye, and a mental barrier instantly formed in front of it, deflecting the incoming ray of light to the side.

"...Freezing ray, it looks like a big guy is coming this time!"

Lowe let go of the fishing rod instantly and rubbed his hands excitedly. At least judging from the power of this freezing ray, the opponent's strength was definitely good!

Sure enough, with a splashing sound of water, a slender figure was seen under the sea, swinging its tail, and then it jumped out of the sea with a whoosh, and appeared directly on the frozen ice...

Under the fiery red sunset, the figure standing head high on the glacier has a slender snake-like body. Its body is beige with a faint white glow, and its tail is covered with rainbow-colored scales, emitting neon colors under the sunset.
