The trainer who wants to clear the game only wants to raise dragons.

If it bites the bait, it will be caught.

During this period, some amateur participants caught goldfish, but judging from their size, they weighed no more than 15 kilograms, far less than the super-large golden carp king that Bai Hong caught.

Perhaps it's because it's spawning season, but goldfish swim upstream, and so far, two people have caught them.

For the vast majority of trainers, Goldeen has very low breeding value, partly because it is limited to fighting in water and partly because its fighting ability is too weak.

"Took the bait!"

Suddenly someone shouted from over there.

He looks like a professional angler.

But it took a long time to pull the mosquito coil tadpole out of the water. The other contestants thought they had caught a big one. The atmosphere became awkward the moment the mosquito coil tadpole surfaced.

"These mosquito coil tadpoles are so small, they probably don't even weigh as much as a goldfish." A blond-haired boy burst into laughter.

The professional angler, feeling embarrassed, turned around and released the mosquito coil tadpoles, then sat down to continue fishing after casting his line.

Before I could even settle in, another professional angler pulled up his rod, seemingly having caught a Water-type Pokémon. However, he remained calm, only to discover upon reeling it in that it was a Needlefish.

This thing is too light.

It's much lighter than Magikarp.

I let it go without even thinking about it.

“Your golden carp is currently the heaviest.” Yongxin was saying this when he turned his head and saw Bai Hong’s fishing rod shake several times.

"I hope it's a Feebas!" Bai Hong has already caught one ordinary Magikarp and two golden Magikarp. Now all he needs is a Feebas. Even catching just one Feebas would be great.

Ugly Fish looks shabby.

The fish's fins were naturally tattered and torn.

They eat almost anything.

It can survive even in dirty water.

At first, it was disliked, but later, many trainers were surprised to learn that Feebas could evolve into Milotic, and their attitudes changed completely.

There was a period when it caused a Feebas craze, but not all Feebas can evolve into Milotic. This applies to Magikarp as well as Feebas, since both Magikarp and Feebas are very common and rampant in the wild.

Thump~

The tan-colored figure darted upwards.

This is clearly an ugly fish.

"Your luck is too good, everything you wish for comes true." Yongxin couldn't help but recall the Feebas he had raised before, which never evolved into Milotic and had no choice but to release it.

"Jirachi, attack!"

Bai Hong pulled the ugly fish up.

No unnecessary movements.

Ding~

It was another case of mental strain.

Ugly Fish was knocked unconscious on the spot.

Jirachi had a blast with the Poké Ball, but the next second, as soon as Bai Hong cast his line, before he even sat down, a Feebas took the bait. He then caught three more Feebas, for a total of five.

Is unicorn bait really that attractive to the ugly fish? Later, he switched from caterpillar bait to unicorn bait.

"try again!"

This time, cast the line further.

I was just about to sit down.

The fishing rod suddenly started shaking violently.

"Is it going to be another Feebas? I've already caught five Feebas. I wonder if it's the bait. I can only catch Magikarp here, and they're all regular Magikarp."

Including the first carp, Yongxin has caught three carp so far, none of which are golden.

Wow~

The ugly fish leaps out of the water.

I want to break the line.

But Bai Hong didn't give him a chance at all.

They forcibly pulled it up.

Jirachi couldn't help but yawn, then activated his Psychic, knocking out Feebas with a single blow, before leisurely tossing the ball.

The summer fishing competition is only halfway through, and Bai Hong has already caught one ordinary carp king, two golden carp kings and six ugly fish. Unsuspecting people would think he is a fishing master.

However, the key lies in the shape of the bait. He chooses special baits that are made to resemble Bug-type Pokémon, such as Caterpie bait, Weedle bait, and Wurmple bait.

He switched back to green caterpillar bait.

Keep fishing for the King Carp.

Just when everyone thought there would be no more golden carp in the river, Bai Hong caught another golden carp.

"What the hell?"

"Is this reasonable? So many of us can't even catch one golden carp, but he caught three. Could this be the legendary fishing physique?"

"The third golden carp he caught wasn't big, it was of normal size, so it looks like he won't release it."

"Only a fool would release a golden Magikarp. A golden Magikarp can evolve into a red Gyarados, and many people would want one."

While they were all talking at once, Bai Hong had already caught the golden carp in the ball, and then caught two more ordinary carp in the same way. Yongxin did the same.

The two of them caught a total of eight ordinary Magikarp, but the key point is that they didn't release a single one, which is hard not to find puzzling. It would be fine if they had caught a golden Magikarp, since it's shiny, but why keep the ordinary Magikarp? The other contestants couldn't understand it.

Bai Hong reeled in his line, presumably having caught enough common carp, and then switched his caterpillar bait to worm bait.

Do you still have bait?

Yongxin only then noticed it.

He could catch carp with caterpillar bait and pufferfish with unicorn bait, but he was very curious about what he could catch with spiky worm bait.

Chapter 97 Catching an Iron-Arm Pistol Shrimp

"Your homemade bait won't work."

Bai Hong had wanted to complain to his face for a long time.

It took so long to catch only five ordinary Magikarp, which means the homemade bait doesn't taste good and other Water-type Pokémon won't eat it.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yongxin refused to admit it no matter what.

He was determined to prove to everyone that his homemade bait could not only catch ordinary Magikarp, but also other Water-type Pokémon.

It was very quiet around, and everyone was fishing quietly. Occasionally, one or two people would catch a goldfish king or a mosquito tadpole, and of course, some people would catch a carp king or a pufferfish.

Time passed little by little.

There was no movement from Bai Hong's side.

On the other hand, there was a very strong commotion in Yongxin, and it took them a long time to pull the guy hiding underwater to the surface.

"Mud loach?"

Does a mud ball have that much strength?

He thought it was a big guy.

I didn't expect it to be a mud loach.

Mudskipper, a Pokémon with a light gray body, serrated black markings on its sides, very small eyes, and a light blue mouth, whiskers, and fins. It is the initial form of Kingkine.

"Let's take it first and talk about it later."

At Bai Hong's suggestion.

Yongxin collected the mud loach.

Logically speaking, mud loaches are even lighter than needlefish, so there's not much use in keeping them unless you plan to raise them into catfish kings.

In the minds of most trainers, Gyarados is very large, but in reality it is about the same size as Magikarp. However, a giant Gyarados named Arzhu once appeared in the anime.

In fact, Yongxin doesn't really like mudskippers. Even if he raises one into a catfish king, it's still pitifully small. Just looking at the encyclopedia makes you think the catfish king is very big, but that's just an illusion.

The surroundings quieted down again.

People would turn to look at Bai Hong every now and then.

They might find it strange that Bai Honglian had caught several carp and chubby fish earlier, but now there was no movement.

Is there something wrong with the bait?

Yongxin asked in a low voice.

He then gestured to Bai Hong with his eyes, asking if he wanted to switch the stinging worm bait back to the green caterpillar bait or the unicorn worm bait.

"Wait a little longer. If you want to try, you can use the unicorn bait I bought." Bai Hong still felt that the homemade bait wasn't good enough, as he hadn't caught any ugly fish in so long.

"Let's give it a try." Yongxin understood the implication: they wanted more ugly fish. After the summer fishing competition, they would need to select more, so the more the merrier.

As we were talking, a professional angler caught a King Catfish. Its size was indeed similar to that of a King Carp. Only when you actually get to know a King Catfish do you realize that it is not as big as it looks in the encyclopedia.

This is the Kalos region. The only Water-type Pokémon you can catch here are Magikarp, Feebas, Needlefish, Gryphon, and Poliwag. Goldeen and Goldeen weren't originally available, but a few years ago someone held a release event and released a lot of Goldeen.

"What Water-type Pokémon are native to this area?" Bai Hong asked suddenly, frowning, seemingly unsure of what to expect.

"Let me think... there aren't many Water-type Pokémon in the Kalos region. Besides Froakie, there's only Squirtle and LavaLoop, and they all live in the sea." Yongxin's mind went blank.

He didn't want to mention the tortoise-footed giant armor.

But turtle feet are disgusting too.

As for the rubbish algae.

You can't catch these things in the river.
