I am actually the son of Gardevoir!

"You need to be patient when fishing for water Pokémon."

Xiaozhi stared at the movement on the water with a flushed face, and kept muttering to himself that he should be patient.

"It's strange that I have patience!"

The truth is that what he saw now challenged his common sense a bit, and he was able to restrain himself by not throwing away the fishing rod.

Xiao Feng from next door has come up more than once. Every once in a while, there is a tadpole, or water Pokémon like Shellder, Goldfish, and Marill.

And the Pokémon that were caught had no intention of leaving, and they all gathered around to watch Xiao Feng fishing Pokémon.

Looking at himself, he hasn't caught any fish yet.

"Ai Wan!"

Listening to Ai Guanshi's cheers, Xiaozhi could already tell that Yu Feng must have scored another goal.

The joys and sorrows of humans are not something that can be shared, and Xiaozhi only feels that the voices of the Pokémon he liked in the past were a bit noisy.

Suddenly, Ash's fishing rod began to shake, which was a clear sign that the Pokémon had taken the bait.

This made Xiaozhi, who had not caught any fish before, very excited, and he quickly picked up the fishing rod.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Wow! It's Magikarp!"

A Magikarp that looked more energetic than the average Magikarp was hanging on Xiaozhi's fishing rod.

The Magikarp, who was originally staring at the fishing rod, suddenly became very sharp in his eyes and stared at the happy Xiaozhi.

"Eh?"

Xiaozhi felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what would happen.

Magikarp used the fishing line to turn around and used a panic attack on Ash's cheek, flapping its tail in his face.

Then he slapped Xiaozhi to the ground and jumped back into the water.

"This child is really healthy. He is almost the same age as Xiaozhi."

Yu Feng sighed as he looked at the Magikarp that was almost the same size as Satoshi. The average Magikarp was only a little over 0.9m tall, but this one was almost as big as Satoshi and seemed to be developing very well. It also had the ability of Teeth Panic, so its level was not low either.

"Humph."

A boy with a brown hedgehog head appeared on the other side of the river at some point. He was dressed similarly to Xiaozhi and laughed at him.

Then he threw his fishing hook into the water and closed his eyes, waiting for the Pokémon to take the bait.

"Hey, Xiaomao!"

When Xiaozhi heard the sound of the hook entering the water, he subconsciously thought it was the hook set by Xiaofeng, but then he thought again and did not hear the sound of the sign of the love steward this time.

When he looked up, it was his mortal enemy Xiaomao, which made Xiaozhi get up immediately.

"Hey, you're awake."

Seeing Xiaozhi getting up, Xiaomao greeted him perfunctorily and then continued to pay attention to his fishing rod.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing!?"

"Fishing."

“I’ll know that from the look of it.”

Xiaozhi waved his hands just like in the anime, questioning Xiaomao who was fishing for Pokémon.

"Isn't that enough? Or do you want me to answer you in a more philosophical way?"

Xiao Mao held the fishing rod in one hand and answered Xiao Zhi's questions with a relaxed look on his face.

"Philosophy? What do you mean? A new Pokémon?"

Xiaozhi looked at Xiaomao with a question mark on his face, wondering what kind of Pokémon philosophy was that he had never seen before.

This made Xiao Mao on the opposite side speechless. Is it really a good idea to have such a person as your opponent?

"Ash, Philosophy is not a Pokémon anymore."

Yu Feng, who had been trying to reduce his presence, finally couldn't help himself. When Xiao Mao appeared, he just wanted to witness the birth of the famous scene in peace and quiet, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhi to ask such a question and he couldn't help himself.

"Oh, who is this?"

Xiao Mao on the side raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Feng. He had just noticed that this person obviously didn't look like someone who was here to fish for Pokémon.

Why do you say it’s not like... Who would go fishing with tea and cake?

Not to mention that the Pokémon that hang around him are all wild Pokémon, except for the humanoid Pokémon he has never seen before.

"I'm Yu Feng. I came out with Xiaozhi to take a walk around the area today."

Yu Feng answered Xiao Mao's question with kindness. After all, this person could be said to be Xiaozhi's best friend and rival.

Although I don’t know which alliance I will travel in, it’s always a good idea to build good relationships.

"Are you the one that Grandpa mentioned who came here temporarily to pick up the initial Pokémon?"

"Nice to meet you."

Xiao Mao also nodded. He also heard from his grandfather that a descendant of an old friend came to claim the initial Pokémon. He didn't expect that this person looked... quite delicate.

"Hey, Xiao Mao, Xiao Feng is my brother, you are not allowed to bully him."

Looking at Yu Feng interacting with Xiao Mao, Xiao Zhi felt unhappy for no reason and interrupted their conversation.

"Stop talking so much and be quiet."

"The Pokémon won't come over like this, I say Ash!"

Xiaomao felt helpless about the noisy Xiaozhi, as this might disturb the Pokémon.

"Who said that? Look over there."

Xiao Zhi looked dissatisfied and pointed at Yu Feng who was fishing at the side.

The two men fell silent as they watched Yu Feng catch another tadpole. Xiao Mao had to say that this was not very scientific.

After seeing another goldfish come up after Yu Feng lowered the rod, the two of them tacitly changed the topic.

"What I'm saying is, if you want to fish, go somewhere else!"

"why?"

Xiao Mao ignored Xiaozhi's words, put one hand in his pocket and continued to look at Xiaozhi who was a little anxious.

"This is my territory. It has been my secret base for a long time."

As he said that, Xiaozhi also threw the fishing hook into the water and looked at Xiaomao with dissatisfaction.

"I've also been fishing for Pokémon here for a long time."

"Because you can catch many kinds of Pokémon here."

"I decided long ago that I would choose a water-type Pokémon before I even got a Poké Ball, so I came here."

Xiao Mao closed his eyes and told Xiao Zhi his thoughts. There was nothing wrong with talking about this kind of thing.

"That's right, this is the perfect place to play with water Pokémon."

After hearing what Xiaomao said, Xiaozhi was very happy as if he had found a confidant, although they were already good friends.

"But I think you were played by Magikarp just now."

Thinking of how Xiaozhi was slapped in the face by Magikarp just now, Xiaomao spoke with a hint of smile.

Xiaozhi covered his face helplessly and muttered softly: "Oh no, you saw it."

"You know, Magikarp is the weakest Pokémon."

As if to discourage Xiaozhi, Xiaomao continued speaking with very cruel words.

"I know."

Ash continued to facepalm, even he knew Magikarp was one of the weakest Pokémon.

"Then tell me what skills Magikarp can learn."

“This is so easy!”

“Yes...this...”

Seeing that Xiaozhi was still being stubborn, Xiaomao suggested that he talk about the skills that Magikarp could learn.

As a "top student", Xiaozhi certainly cannot miss this opportunity to prove himself.

Of course, this question made Xiaozhi fall into silence for a long time.
