Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

Page 97

Wang Yao scratched his head and seemed to have some clues.

Because there was too little information about Larulas, Wang Yao clicked on Gardevoir's information.

Wang Yao continued to click on the detailed information page on the illustration book, especially checking Gardevoir's skill pool.

"Telekinesis, shadow clones, healing waves, hypnosis... Oh? This is it!"

Wang Yao looked at a special [Skill] in the skill pool.

[Copy]: Gardevoir can temporarily copy the opponent's characteristics during battle.

“…This doesn’t seem to be a skill, right?”

Wang Yao finally remembered...

When I was browsing my phone before, I seemed to have accidentally seen a host named [Speaker Cricket Fan ag] introducing Gardevoir.

"It's one of the characteristics, but when it's activated, it looks like a skill - so it's classified as an exclusive skill?"

Wang Yao looked at the introduction in the illustrated book.

Not only the [Copy] feature, but also the [Synchronize] feature has been classified as a skill by researchers.

However, the hidden feature [Telepathy] has not been researched... After all, it is just to dodge the large-scale moves of teammates, and in most cases it is enough to rely on telekinesis to fly into the sky.

As for the few skills that could not be avoided, they were also dodged - this rare situation was naturally ignored by the trainers.

"I can get a research allowance from the doctor again this time!"

Wang Yao muttered.

"No - maybe there is a second author of the paper..."

……

While Wang Yao was flipping through the illustrations, Xiao Pao had already brought Larulas to the ship's infirmary.

After a simple treatment by Nanny Mambo, the ship's doctor, Larulas woke up quickly.

Since it has left the battle and the copied eagerness to escape has disappeared, Larulas will no longer show the previous terrifying illusion.

"Great! I'm glad you're okay!"

The little girl hugged Larulas and finally let go of the worry in her heart.

The opponent is a powerful and mysterious coward... I actually overestimated my own capabilities and sent out Larulas to fight.

Xiao Pao felt a little guilty, luckily Larulas didn’t encounter any accidents!

"Lalu~"

Sensing the trainer's worry, Larulas responded with a caring hug.

……

Because today's competition was scheduled in the morning, Wang Yao, who had finished beating his children and had nothing to do, came to the stern with a fishing rod.

"The boat is going a little fast... I wonder if we can catch any fish?"

Wang Yao stretched the fishing rod piece by piece.

Although I usually use it as a fishing rod, it is a lure after all...

"…It should also attract some fast-swimming fish, right?"

Wang Yao thought about it and threw out the lure.

After letting out the fishing line a few meters, setting up the fishing rod and handing it to the cowardly bug to watch over it, Wang Yao lay back on the beach chair.

"Little brother—you can't catch any fish like this!"

Just after closing his eyes for a few minutes, Wang Yao was awakened by a somewhat vicissitudes of life voice.

"Ok?"

Wang Yao opened his eyes impatiently, wanting to see which retired old man had nothing better to do than to bother him.

Whether I can catch fish or not is none of your business!

"——Mr. Captain?"

"How come you have time to come to the poop deck?"

Wang Yao straightened up politely and responded.

"Don't worry - the ship won't be driven to Hoenn. There are people watching in the cockpit~"

Old man Li Yang was joking with Wang Yao.

Chapter 91: The Bait! The Barracuda Missile!

"When I was young, I also liked to sit at the stern of the boat and fish..."

Captain Li Yang looked out to sea with a nostalgic tone.

"It started out as a small sampan... and then it became a river ferry..."

"From fisherman to sailor... and from sailor to captain."

"...Now, the Murasaki Horse has become a famous tourist cruise ship in the Kanto region."

After saying that, Captain Li Yang looked at Wang Yao.

"Come to think of it...it's been a while since I last relaxed at the stern of the boat and fished."

"Captain, aren't you free now?"

Wang Yao opened another folding beach chair beside him.

"Would you like to have a go?"

Wang Yao picked up the fishing rod and handed it to old man Li Yang.

"Guji~"

The coward looked at the old man who suddenly appeared with some curiosity.

"Hahahaha – that's great advice."

Captain Li Yang laughed a few times, took the fishing rod and sat down next to Wang Yao.

"Wow—it's a high-end product!"

Li Yang is an experienced angler and he found that Wang Yao's fishing rods were of very good quality.

"It was given to me by a friend, but I haven't caught any rare fish with it."

Wang Yao shrugged.

The only record of this fishing rod so far is catching a not-so-delicious Magikarp.

"Although this type of lure rod is of good quality, it is not suitable for beginners... Your friend must have done something wrong with good intentions."

Li Yang saw Wang Yao's previous fishing method and naturally knew that he was a novice in fishing.

“…Just watch!”

Li Yang sat on a beach chair with his upper body upright, and his hands holding the fishing rod straightened one after another.

Then he swung it violently towards the side of the ship!

Boo hoo hoo-!

The lure was thrown far into the sea along with the fishing line.

"The movement of the cruise ship will attract curious water Pokémon nearby..."

"But the trajectory of their approach does not coincide with the cruise ship's route. If you hang the fishing rod behind the boat like you did before, it is unlikely that any Pokémon will take the bait."

Kaka! Kaka!

Captain Li Yang was collecting the spool while introducing fishing techniques at sea.

"Because the speed of the cruise ship is faster than that of the ordinary fishing boat, the line must be cast far enough."

As Captain Li Yang rhythmically reeled in the lure, Wang Yao saw a few more waves on the sea.

"Oh! It's a barracuda!"

Captain Li Yang narrowed his eyes and knew the identity of his prey.

"Ok?"

Wang Yao couldn't tell, after all, the fish hadn't even come out of the water.

Can you tell the identity of underwater prey just by the splash?

"Guji~"

The cowardly bug also curiously climbed to the top of the fence, poked its head out and stared at the splashes in the water.

"Come down! Come down! What if you fall down later?"

Wang Yao took the coward down from the fence.

"I didn't like these guys when I was fishing - they were too fast, had sharp teeth, and would tear my nets apart and run away with my minnows."

Captain Li Yang said this and slowly slowed down the pace of reeling in the line.

Crack! Sizzle!

The fishing line was suddenly tightened!

"Ha--we have dinner tonight!"

Captain Li Yang turned his head and smiled at Wang Yao.

Then, the old captain began to fish slowly.

Although Wang Yao’s fishing rod is of good quality, the line set has never been changed - it is still the same one that He Yan and the others used in Dead Leaf Harbor.

Fishing in the harbor is more than enough, but if you want to conquer the fierce fish in the sea, you need to be careful.

Otherwise, he would be like Keizang at that time, sighing after returning from the trip - it's not that my martial arts are inferior to my opponent, but that my weapons are too crude!

"A little closer...that's it!"

Captain Li Yang had lured the barracuda to within ten meters of the cruise ship.

Plop! Crash!

The barracuda leaped out of the water with a sudden splash, hitting the boat.

"Not bad!"

Wang Yao saw it clearly now.

The closer the barracuda got to the hull, the more it struggled.

"quack!"

Just as the pike jumped out of the water again, a blue figure suddenly fell from the sky!

"This is--!"

Wang Yao's eyes blurred and he saw a blue figure picking up the barracuda and flying high into the sky.

"Ancient Moon Bird?"
