Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

The real difference between the two lies in the trainer's command level, with Xiao Sheng repeatedly being outmaneuvered by Lu Yuan.

"I lost."

Xiao Sheng knew he hadn't performed very well, and scratched his head sheepishly.

At this point, his attitude towards Lu Yuan changed from admiration to reverence.

He called me "Big Brother" so affectionately, he probably didn't even treat Ash like that back then.

The next day.

The fishing tournament is about to begin, and Xiao Sheng successfully registered at the last minute.

The champion prize for this fishing tournament, in addition to the dream fishing rod set that many anglers dream of, also includes the mysterious water droplet, which is most favored by water-type trainers.

It can greatly increase the power of water-based moves.

In addition, the prizes for the runner-up and third place are equally luxurious: a premium water stone sponsored by Devon and a bait ball set sponsored by Mr. Steel, respectively.

Xiao Sheng came here specifically for this high-grade water stone.

Advanced evolution stones can unlock the full potential of a Pokémon.

Lu Yuan took out the fishing rod, float, and hook he bought at the mall yesterday. Just like with games, the higher the price, the better the quality.

Upon arriving at the deck, one finds anglers everywhere participating in the fishing tournament, using rented fishing boats or surfing Pokémon to reach the nearby waters.

Blue called out her signature Blastoise and took Joyce into the sea.

"I'm going to catch a few wild bass this time and keep them in my backyard."

Stop! Are you trying to raise them? You're just lusting after them!

Wild bass is known for its delicious taste.

It tastes good whether steamed or braised...

However, speaking of the backyard, the artificial lake in the dojo's backyard is rather lonely with only two chubby dogs.

Why don't we take advantage of the fishing tournament to find them a neighbor?

The rules of the Fishing Contest are the same as those of the Bug Catching Contest: only one Pokémon can be caught, and once the catch is made, no new Pokémon can be caught unless the previous one is released.

After the competition, a panel of professional judges will score the results.

Since there were no Pokémon in the team that could surf, Lu Yuan rented a small boat.

On the azure sea, anglers from all over the world were already on high alert.

Holding various exquisite fishing tackle, they stared intently at the shimmering sea with sharp eyes.

At this moment, Little Blue, who had set off earlier, floated towards Lu Yuan on Blastoise.

She held up the enormous, wild bass in her hand and boasted, "Look, it weighs 20 kilograms!"

Lu Yuan simply smiled and casually cast his fishing rod.

Just last night, he used up all the emotional points he had earned over the past few days to do a ten-pull gacha.

I just happened to draw the LV4 Fishing Specialization.

This means that Lu Yuan can catch fish almost every time he casts his rod.

With such powerful skills, if we can lose, I'll eat my words!

......

At the stern, the Magikarp was leaping and splashing around, looking very energetic.

This is the tenth one already!

Lu Yuan suspected that he had stirred up a hornet's nest, otherwise how could he not see any other Pokémon at all?

The two old men next door to him can catch jumbo.

"Brother Lu Yuan, what's going on..." Xiao Sheng leaned closer, looking at the boat full of Magikarp and falling silent.

Lu Yuan remained silent, but his face darkened when he saw the starfish on Xiao Sheng's boat.

Damn, I'm so lucky!

It must be a problem with the location, Lu Yuan confirmed again.

He was just about to try his luck elsewhere.

Just then, Little Blue floated over again on Blastoise.

This time, the wild bass she was carrying was bigger and fatter than the one she had caught before, attracting envious glances from many anglers around her.

Not only that, Qiao Yixue, who was following behind her, also reaped a great harvest.

A rare babysitter mambo was caught.

An excellent physical shield that thrived in the ninth generation.

Lu Yuan roared as he left this place of trouble.

"I refuse to believe that you can catch a King Carp here!"

......

The twentieth one...

Lu Yun stared blankly at the carp piled up at the stern of the boat, a complex and indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

This fishing rod must be poisonous!

The Magikarp jumped around incessantly in the cramped space, seemingly unaware of what their surroundings truly meant.

Pachirisu was startled awake by the scene before her. Looking at the lively Magikarp, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

Without saying a word, it lunged at a carp.

Gastly, standing nearby, followed suit.

The next second, two shrill screams echoed across the entire lake.

“Magikarp is all bones and has no meat at all, so it’s inedible,” Lu Yuan said quietly.

Therefore, Magikarp was a complete waste before it evolved into Gyarados.

"This is...this is amazing! It's unbelievable!"

The announcer's loud and excited shouts came from the commentary booth on the deck.

"Mr. Jacana has actually caught a Milotic! This is an unprecedented feat!" The host's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "This brilliant achievement has already broken the best record in the history of this competition!"

The onlookers were in an uproar.

All eyes were focused on the middle-aged man riding on Laplace's back.

Milotic, a Pokémon that so many people dream of owning.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the champion of this competition!

They are far ahead of all other competitors.

Second place went to Joey Xue's nanny, Mambo.

The third place winner was a contestant who caught a megalodon.

As for the last place, unsurprisingly, it's Lu Yuan, who currently has the most Magikarp.

"Gan!"

How can you even catch an egg like that!

They've already caught a Milotic; the championship is practically a done deal.

Unless he could catch Georka, Lu Yuan couldn't think of any other way to reverse the situation.

“Hey.” Gastly pointed to the fishing rod on the ground.

"You want to play?"

Lu Yuan handed the fishing rod to Gastly and said, "Be careful, don't get dragged down."

As soon as he said it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

What am I even talking about? How can a ghost possibly catch fish?

“口桀?ω?~”

Gastly had barely put down the fishing rod when it felt an extremely strong pull. It used all its strength to hold onto the rod and prevent it from falling.

"You actually caught one?!" Lu Yuan was somewhat shocked and quickly went forward to help Gastly pull the fishing rod.

"Good weight!"

The combined power of the human and the ghost was completely insufficient to raise their strength.

Just then, upon hearing Lu Yuan's call, Jilidan stepped forward and gave him a hand.

The pulling sensation from the seabed vanished instantly.

"boom!"

A giant wave surged, and a huge, blue and white elf burst out of the water.
