My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 114 If I win, I'll be at your beck and call.

North of Fengrao Town, there is a highway for buses.

You can take a bus to Gangbo Town in the north, which is a port city that is much more prosperous than Fengrao Town.

Moreover, cruise ships from other regions frequently dock there, and the number of tourists it receives each year is the highest in the entire Armenian region.

Tong Huahe, leading the Pokémon, left Windswept Town and continued towards the hot spring inn in the northern suburbs.

I don't know if it's because of spring fatigue or because I ate too much for lunch.

Everyone was dizzy and yawning in turns, as if it were contagious.

"Fufu." Mini Fufu in Tong Hua's arms was the first to give up and closed her eyes to fall asleep.

"Poyoyo—"

The three little fairy milks also couldn't resist the drowsiness; their eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they slowly fell to the ground.

"Chirp chirp."

There was no other way, so the messenger bird put the three of them into its tail pouch. Although the pouch seemed airtight, it was actually quite comfortable to be inside.

"Ah, ah, ah~"

Of everyone, only Sweet Wuni was the most energetic.

Tong Hua couldn't help but wonder if her personality was just a facade.

However, the effect of the Sweet Veil ability is that it prevents our team from falling asleep, which seems a bit inconsistent with the current situation. "Shouldn't it be Leaf Defense? The one that prevents status conditions under sunny skies?"

As she pondered, Tong Hua's thinking became sluggish.

Tong Hua felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and his steps were starting to falter. Feng Tiao glanced at him warily and smiled, "Want to take a break? That stream over there looks nice; you can wash your face there."

Before Tong Hua could answer, the foam squirrel had already run to the grassy area by the stream, patted the soft grass with its little paws, and lay down contentedly.

"Let's rest for a bit then." Tong Hua finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and, holding Mini Fu, found a big tree by the stream to lean against.

Charming Cat jumped down from Feng's shoulder and gracefully found a spot to curl up next to Tong Hua.

Sweetie and Messenger Bird leaned against Tong Hua on either side, while Salt Stone Treasure sat on Tong Hua's head, already fast asleep.

Feng sat by the stream, watching Tong Hua and the Pokémon quickly drift off to sleep, and murmured to himself, "They really were caught off guard—."

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the people.

A gentle breeze blows, and pink petals drift down, like a natural blanket covering the sleeping Pokémon.

Slimy was the only Pokémon still awake, and she gently emitted a reassuring, sweet scent. This fragrance made everyone's sleeping faces even more peaceful, and even Stark, who was passing by, perched on a branch.

The wind swung its slippers, swaying its two feet and splashing the water. The splashing sound startled Sweet Wu Ni, who curiously came over and sat by the stream, imitating the wind, carefully putting her feet into the water.

"Ahhh~" The cool stream water made Sweetie happily swing her legs, splashing even more water.

Amused by her appearance, he lazily leaned back and said, "You know how to enjoy yourself."

Oh right, I almost forgot.

Feng suddenly sat up and took out a fishing rig from his backpack.

"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go fishing for a bit." Feng skillfully assembled the fishing rod, baited it with live bait, and cast the hook precisely into the stream.

"Huh?"

Sweet Wuni curiously leaned closer, watching the float gently sway on the water's surface. She sat quietly, mimicking the wind, even stopping her swaying feet, afraid of startling the fish.

Time passed slowly, but there was no sign of the fish taking the bait.

Ultimately, no one knows what kind of fish are in this stream, but this uncertainty is part of the fun of fishing.

"Fishing leisurely and enjoying the catch, then eating it deliciously, that's the best kind of enjoyment," he muttered to himself, his eyes fixed intently on the float.

Sweet Wu Ni nodded as if she understood, and continued to quietly wait with the wind. Just then, the float suddenly trembled slightly.

"Oh my!" Sweet Wuni exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the water, but then quickly covered her mouth, afraid of scaring the fish away.

Feng smiled slightly and skillfully lifted the fishing rod. A small, shimmering silver fish was caught, sparkling brightly in the sunlight. "It's a crucian carp," Feng said carefully, removing the hook. "This kind of fish has many small bones; it's delicious in soups and braised dishes."

However, I still prefer scallion grilling. I spread a lot of scallion segments stir-fried in hot oil at the bottom of the pan, put the fried fish on top and grill it, and all the bones will become crispy and tender.

You can eat it, bones and all!

As she talked, she even made herself hungry. Unfortunately, this wasn't her fishing tackle shop, so there wasn't a kitchen.

Feng had no choice but to take out a folding bucket and put the crucian carp in it. Just as Feng was about to continue fishing, he heard a groan of someone stretching from the side.

"Huh—..Hmm? Where's Sweetie?"

Tong Hua rubbed his eyes and sat up, only to find that Tian Wuni was not beside him. He looked around and saw Tian Wuni sitting by the stream fishing with him.

Tong Hua carefully put down the miniature Fu in her hand, then put the salt stone on her head and the messenger bird beside her together.

The sight of the little ones huddled together sleeping is truly endearing.

"She's sleeping so soundly, so cute."

"What's cute? Are you talking about me?" Feng suddenly interrupted, and Tong Hua's face flushed red. She hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, I meant the Pokémon—"

She covered her mouth and chuckled, "I was just kidding. Why do you always react so well?"

Hey, wanna have a fishing contest?

I brought plenty of fishing rigs. The hotel is just ahead, so there's no rush to fish for a few hours before going to the hot springs.

"Okay," Tong Hua nodded in agreement. "But since it's a competition, what's the prize?"

Feng rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment: "Hmm--How about the loser be the winner's servant for a day?"

Whatever their request, they must obey; in other words, they must be at my beck and call.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you ordering me around like this? Are you that confident you'll win?"

Tong Hua felt somewhat speechless. Both Jessica and the others seemed to treat him like a child. They always spoke to him in that teasing tone, which he found a little overwhelming.

Feng lazily swung her fishing rod: "What? I'm your senior, so of course I'm confident I can win. But you—" she deliberately dragged out her words, "Are you really confident you can beat me?"

Tong Hua's competitive spirit was aroused: "Let's bet! But the stakes are a bit too high. There should be a limit to how much you can command. You can't make excessive demands."

And you can only make three requests!

"Deal." Feng revealed a triumphant smile. "Then let's begin. You can assemble your own fishing rig. The crucian carp I just caught doesn't count. Let's start from scratch."

Tong Hua quickly assembled a fishing rig, and he was full of confidence, determined to show Feng his prowess!

Will I, a level 19 fisherman, lose in a fishing competition?

ridiculous!

Tong Hua gripped the fishing rod tightly, and the fisherman's level 15 passive skill "Eye of the Osprey" was automatically triggered!

Similar to the gardener's "tree whispers," the "Cormorant's Eye" allows Tong Hua to see all the fish within a certain range.

It's like having X-ray vision; as long as you have a fishing rod in hand, you can directly see where the best resources are!

"Hmph, I'm definitely going to win this match!"

Tong Hua stood at the chosen fishing spot, confidently raising a flag.

Sweet Wuni cheered him on from the side, but she was afraid of disturbing the fish in the water, so she only dared to cheer him on in a low voice.

"Oh my."
