"Did you forget something?" Bai Hong was indeed unsure, otherwise he wouldn't have switched to worm bait.

"I can't recall."

Yongxin racked his brains.

It's normal to forget things after changing careers.

“No one else caught anything, so it seems like it’s really hard to catch fish. Let’s try fishing somewhere else!” Bai Hong got up and walked to the other side.

Yongxin didn't move. He wanted to fish for ugly fish in the murky water, and he was using the unicorn bait that Bai Hong had given him. But the next second he caught a mud loach instead of an ugly fish.

He does not believe in evil.

Continue casting and fishing.

This time, it was the Magikarp that took the bait.

"Why can't I catch any ugly fish using unicorn bait? Is it really a problem with the bait? Or is it just messing with me?!"

Just as Yongxin was grumbling, there was a sudden movement from Baihong's side. The line was frantically thrashing on the water's surface, and the pulling force was so strong that it could break the line in a matter of minutes.

Kirachi came to help.

The lines are still being drawn haphazardly.

Bai Hong had no choice but to retreat with his fishing rod, engaging in a tug-of-war with the large creature underwater, seeing who could outlast the other.

All the contestants were captivated, wondering what he was fishing for that could be so powerful.

"Jirachi, watch out!"

He felt the fishing rod inexplicably lose its grip.

Suddenly, a blue figure darted out of the water, moving as fast as lightning, and almost instantly released water waves.

Kirachi reacted quickly.

Release the thought wave in an instant.

Precisely control the fluctuations of the water.

And return it to the other party.

With a bang, the blue figure was thwarted. It was about to cut the line on the worm bait with pliers, reluctant to let go. It seemed that the worm bait was particularly to its liking.

"It's an iron-armed pistol shrimp!"

Yongxin jumped up excitedly.

The local Water-type Pokémon is also Shrimp, so Bai Hong is fishing for shrimp, specifically Shrimp with a Super Launcher.

"Don't let it get away."

Bai Hong dared not be distracted for a moment.

I finally caught a prawn, how could I just watch it cut the line with its pincers?

Jirachi's pupils emitted a terrifying purple light, abruptly freezing the Iron-Armed Shrimp in place, rendering it completely immobile.

Even without Bai Hong's order, it would throw the Iron-Armed Shrimp ashore, launching high-speed stars along the way. In the end, the Iron-Armed Shrimp wouldn't even have a chance to resist before being caught in the ball.

"Good job!"

This is exactly what Bai Hong wanted.

to him.

Winning or losing is no longer important.

We've caught a Magikarp and a lot of Feebas. If we can catch a Pistol Shrimp, that would be an unexpected bonus.

Swoosh~ Bai Hong picked up the Poké Ball, turned around and released the Iron-Armored Shrimp, then sat cross-legged on the ground and communicated with it for a long time.

After receiving assurances, the iron-armed pistol shrimp jumped into the river, and Bai Hong cast out a line with a worm bait. In less than twenty seconds, four iron-armed pistol shrimp took the bait at the same time.

The iron-armed pistol shrimp that had just jumped up and watched as Bai Hong pulled the rod hard, catching four iron-armed pistol shrimp at once.

Amazingly, these four iron-armed pistol shrimp didn't run away after being pulled up; instead, they went into the ball on their own. Even the most experienced anglers would be astonished by this sight.

They couldn't understand how Bai Hong had managed to do that. Did he make those four iron-armed pistol shrimp jump into the water so that they would bite Bai Hong's bait? That's too outrageous!

But it is true.

Considering how difficult it is to catch iron-armed pistol shrimp, Bai Hong didn't want to waste time. Instead, he communicated with the iron-armed pistol shrimp he had just caught and promised to provide them with an excellent living environment.

If it weren't for the recent serious pollution upstream, it might not have agreed, especially considering it would be risking the lives of its companions—it was far too risky.

Chapter 98 Old Iron, No Problem

"Is it that enjoyable?"

"Catching four iron-armed pistol shrimp at once, how can I not be happy? I also want to catch iron-armed pistol shrimp, but I haven't had a bite for a long time."

"Could he be a fishing master who can not only catch golden carp, but also a whole bunch of iron-armed pistol shrimp? That last catch was really exhilarating. I've never seen any angler do something like that."

"Ahhh, the competition is almost over. I only caught a goldfish and a magpie. I probably won't even make it into the top ten. I really envy Bai Hong for catching so many gold magpie."

An uproar erupted around them.

Some people are envious.

Of course some people are jealous.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, professional anglers wouldn't have believed that someone could catch four iron-armed prawns at once.

The iron-armed pistol shrimp jumped into the river and came ashore a while later. If you pay attention to this detail, you might be able to guess that it was the one who did the trick. Otherwise, why would it behave so strangely?

However, the rules did not explicitly state that this was not allowed, as long as you had the ability to make the Pokémon you caught obey your commands. So, someone released a Magikarp that they had just caught and tried to communicate with it.

Ada~

Magikarp kept jumping.

I don't understand at all.

The contestants around him couldn't help but smile.

I feel like I'm about to burst out laughing any second.

"He's copying you!"

Yongxin suppressed a laugh and teased.

No one knew better than him that Bai Hong was able to do all this because of Jirachi's help, but the specifics of how he did it were unknown.

"Your fishing rod moved."

Bai Hong did not respond to Yongxin's words.

Just then, another Magikarp bit the worm bait. It was really strange. Yongxin couldn't catch any pufferfish with the worm bait, so why was he only catching Magikarp?

Yongxin captured the carp king.

He turned around and continued fishing with homemade bait.

"Is it your problem or mine that you can't catch the clownfish with the unicorn bait?" Bai Hong re-attached the unicorn bait, and soon a clownfish started biting the bait.

"Is it my fault?!"

Yongxin changed positions.

The fish caught was still a regular carp.

The summer fishing competition was coming to an end, and there wasn't much time left, but Bai Hong still slowly cast his line and then sat down to wait quietly. The closer it got to the crucial moment, the less he could rush.

It's really strange. I thought I wouldn't be able to catch a Magikarp with the unicorn bait, but a golden Magikarp took the bait, and I caught a golden Magikarp twice in a row.

"Are there really that many golden carp in this river? I feel like you've caught them all." Yongxin had to admit defeat; so far, only Bai Hong had caught a golden carp.

"I don't know what happened either." Bai Hong was a little puzzled and turned to ask Iron Arm Shrimp, "Hey bro, it wasn't you who did this, was it? I just saw you sneaking into the water again."

虾～

Iron-armed Shrimp looked at Kirachi.

Their eyes said it all.

It wanted to be lazy.

But he couldn't go against Kirachi's wishes.

Since that's the case, I secretly dived into the water and spent a lot of effort to find the two golden carp hiding in the reeds. It was really hard to persuade them to take the bait.

Most Magikarp have dull, lifeless eyes and are not very intelligent; in other words, they haven't developed their intelligence yet.

This is why Magikarp, despite being a member of the Dragon Egg group, doesn't inherit any moves and can't even learn moves from TM CDs. In this respect alone, it's inferior to Feebas.

As a member of the Dragon Egg Group, the Ugly Fish not only inherits some skills but can also learn skills through skill CDs, giving it a significant innate advantage. Its true limitation is its beauty.

She was already ugly.

Evolution also requires beauty.

Besides beauty, there is another way of evolution: carrying beautiful scales or growing beautiful scales on one's body, and then exchanging them through communication, thus fulfilling the conditions for evolution.

Feebas that live in the wild cannot communicate or exchange information. After growing beautiful scales, they will find a place with an extremely special magnetic field and can also evolve into Milotic.

In contrast, Magikarp.

Evolution has no conditions.

Often, the most difficult thing is not having the necessary conditions.

Bai Hong and Jirachi just mentioned that they will be selecting Magikarp later, and those Magikarp that haven't awakened their intelligence will be released.

If that's the case, why not let the Iron-Armed Shrimp communicate with those intelligent Magikarp? That way, we can avoid the hassle of selection.

"Dude, you really know how to find things!"

Kirachi gave a thumbs up.

He also called Bai Hong "bro".

Am I your buddy?
