Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Chapter 140 Lanternfish

"Ratchet..."

Swampert looked at the Mosquito Swimmer in the center of the crowd, who was raising his arms and shouting because he had captured a goldfish weighing more than 50 kilograms, and he was almost sweating profusely.

Isn't this the mosquito coil swimmer that fought with it by the lake at Golden University?

How come it's here too?

Swampert sensed the presence of a large creature using its fins, which is why it decided to bring Lu An and his roommates with it.

As soon as it rounded a patch of reeds, it witnessed the Mosquito Coil Swimmer subduing the Goldfish King with his bare hands.

The Swampert immediately realized that the large creature it had sensed had already been taken by someone else.

This is actually normal. After all, although Yuanshan Lake looks boundless, it is actually covered by more than a hundred fishing boats, each of which radiates outwards for nearly a hundred meters, leaving little open space.

It's normal for someone to snatch away your prey before you can; you can just find the next target.

But Swampert never expected to encounter this mosquito coil swimmer in this lake.

Are there only so many lakes in the world? It's either this lake or that lake.

"Ratchet..."

Wait a minute, Swampert suddenly remembered something.

After returning to its trainer, the trainer quickly learned about the misdeeds it had done with Miss Head.

Therefore, when the trainer returned to the investigator headquarters, he had already asked Nash to help him resolve the environmental damage caused by Swampert at the school and to make some compensation.

Golden University has actually dropped the warrant for Swampert's arrest.

In that case, what does it matter if the Mosquito Coil Swimmer recognizes me?

Thinking of this, Swampert felt much more at ease.

"La chi la chi".

(〃￣w￣〃ゞ

Trainers are the best, I love trainers the most.

After realizing that he was worrying unnecessarily, Swampert stopped looking at the Mosquito Swimmer who was still enjoying the cheers.

It's just a small carambola.

As long as it can find something bigger than that Goldfish King, and as long as the trainer and his roommate can catch the fish, even if it's a Kyogre, it's willing to fight it.

So Swampert lowered its body again, submerged in the water, and began using its fins to search for its next target.

Behind the Swampert, on a small fishing boat, Lu An was shading his eyes with his hand, looking curiously in the direction of the Mosquito Coil Swimmer:

"That team seems to have hooked a big one."

Gangjie ignored Lu An's curiosity and paced anxiously in circles on the fishing boat:

"Little Anzai, forget about what others caught. Is your Swampert even reliable? Why did it change direction again? What kind of fish swims that fast?"

Lu An gave Gang Jie a reassuring look.

As Swampert's trainer, he knew what Swampert was trying to do just by Swampert waving its fins:

"Without a doubt, the big guy that Swampert sensed just now has already been caught or captured, so now it is preparing to find a new target."

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Gang Jie immediately looked at the mosquito coil swimmer with a look of annoyance:

"Huh? You mean, the one they subdued over there was the Swampert's initial target?"

Gangjie angrily slapped his thigh:

"If only we had acted a little faster, we wouldn't have had our prey stolen."

Lu An patted Gang Jie and said:

"That's not quite right. Although Swampert can find the location of the big guys nearby, according to the rules of fishing, even if you see your prey, you have to let it bite the hook before you can start the battle."

"In other words, even if we arrive a little early, even if it swims right in front of you, if it doesn't bite the hook, there's nothing you can do."

Gangjie sighed repeatedly:

"I was too anxious."

After calming down, Lu An and the others didn't look at the Mosquito Swimmer's movements again. Instead, they adjusted the direction of their fishing boat and slowly followed behind the Swampert.

......

Three more hours passed, and half of the match was already over.

Lu An and his group's progress was still not going smoothly.

Although they were able to reach a better fishing spot before the others by using the Swampert's fins.

However, Lu An and Imai were fishing novices, so it was no different from leaving a fishing rod there and letting them fish on their own.

While Gōsuke is experienced, his experience is primarily in the Air Force.

So even with Swampert as their "fish finder," the trio's catch was still meager, having only managed to catch two average-weight Magikarp and one Remora so far.

They are still far from being true championship contenders.

Just as Gangsuke was secretly getting anxious, but too embarrassed to complain to his friends, Imai's gentle voice suddenly rang out:

"Hey, Gangjie, look at my fishing rod, isn't it wobbling?"

When Gangjie turned his head, he saw that the fishing rod that Imai had casually laid across the fishing boat was sliding overboard at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gōsuke grabbed Imai's fishing rod:

"My God, you really do have a way of catching fish! You actually managed to catch one."

Although he didn't think that such a fish that had walked right into his trap could be a good one, Gosuke, adhering to the principle of not letting any go, still began a tug-of-war with it.

Surprisingly, the fish showed no signs of struggling and soon surfaced in the water.

But the moment he saw the fish, Lu An, who had been leisurely watching the show, narrowed his eyes and rushed towards Gang Jie, shoving his head onto the fishing boat.

Just half a second later, a bolt of lightning, almost solidified, exploded on Gangjie's forehead.

Even though he managed to avoid the lightning, the static electricity in the air still made Gangjie's hair all float around, making him look quite disheveled.

"Angelfish?"

"Mimi".

Before Lu An and his companions stood a blue lanternfish with a pair of electric tentacles on its back.

It looked at Lu An and the others with a defiant expression.

Lu An stood up from the fishing boat, looking at the thing that had just been caught, with a slight puzzlement:

"Don't lanternfish usually live on the seabed? How did it appear in Yuanshan Lake? Did some 'great philanthropist' release it here?"

"Moreover, although Yuanshan Lake is a bit far from the city center of Jinhuang, it is still a famous lake with many tourists. How could the authorities allow a lanternfish to be in the lake without taking any action?"

Just as Lu An was wondering, several fishing boats noticed the unusual situation and gradually approached:

"Wow, it's an anglerfish!"

"Although Lanternfish is small in size, its pair of tentacles can release powerful positive and negative charges, making it an unusual Water-type Pokémon."

The people on several fishing boats were eyeing the lanternfish that Gangjie had just caught with a somewhat covetous look.

If they didn't have some fishing skills, they probably would have already tried to catch the lanternfish.

Even if you don't win the competition, being able to capture an anglerfish and train it into a water/electric anglerfish in the future would be a pretty good option.
