A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

After learning that his father might be transferred to East China, Zhang Heng spent two calm yet somewhat nervous days, looking forward to the opening of the sea fishing competition.

During this period, the atmosphere at home was a bit subtle. Father Zhang Leiyuan eventually left home without saying where he was going.

Ever since his father participated in the Champion Challenge, the Zhang family's reputation has skyrocketed. A steady stream of powerful families have come to the Zhang family, seeking collaborations in the development of Pokémon medical technology, bringing with them many new ideas and channels.

Family affairs became busy for a while, but Zhang Heng focused more on the upcoming sea fishing competition. He was eager to gain something in this competition and add new strength to his Pokémon team.

On the opening day of the sea fishing competition, the event site was packed with people. Many spectators and contestants came to the Fengcheng pier, which was like a dreamy water Pokémon park.

In the clear blue sky, a group of long-winged gulls soared happily. They stretched their white wings, sometimes flying high, sometimes gliding low, making crisp chirps, as if cheering for the event.

In one part of the venue, two pairs of Lotte Kappas were full of energy and acted as the atmosphere group. The broad lotus leaves on their heads and the blue leaves on their bodies swayed to the cheerful rhythm, and the branches in their hands were rhythmically tapped, making unique sounds.

The chubby girls twisted their bodies flexibly, sometimes dancing in a circle, sometimes dancing in pairs, with a carefree smile on their faces, making the audience around them laugh.

In the sea water near the pier, the heart-shaped fish swayed gracefully, and the heart-shaped patterns on their bodies were looming in the sparkling waves. They were cleverly arranged and combined to form various gorgeous shapes, which attracted exclamations from the crowd from time to time.

The host of the event was a young woman dressed in beautiful clothes. She held a microphone, a warm smile on her face, and her clear and pleasant voice echoed in every corner of the pier.

"Dear trainers, welcome to Fengcheng's annual sea fishing competition! This competition is generously sponsored by the Ou Group and aims to provide an excellent stage for everyone to showcase their sea fishing strength and skills."

Instantly, the entire audience erupted in deafening cheers. Applause and shouts intertwined into one, countless arms waved in the air, and people's faces were filled with excitement and excitement.

"Everyone here is very enthusiastic, but don't worry, let me explain the rules. The rules have been slightly modified. Unlike previous years, the player with the highest qualification to catch a Water-attribute Pokémon within the limited time wins and will receive an A-rank Mystic Drop!"

The host paused briefly before continuing, "It's worth mentioning that you must use the special tournament balls distributed by the Ou Group for your captures to count. Each contestant will be given 30 competition balls, so please use them wisely and accurately."

Zhang Heng nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "It seems the organizers are also worried that some contestants will use their own Pokémon to fill in the numbers, thus disrupting the fairness of the competition."

The host continued, "This isn't just a competition; it's a fantastic journey where you'll get up close and personal with Water-attribute Pokémon. Now, let's embark on this fantastic sea fishing extravaganza!"

Zhang Heng went alone this time, unaccompanied. Atop his head, a blue bird stood out. The little creature, with its lithe figure and fluffy feathers, stood out from the crowd. Standing amidst the crowd, Zhang Heng, filled with anticipation, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

At this moment, a familiar figure came into his sight. It was Ou Yishu. She was wearing a light blue dress, her long hair fluttering in the wind, like an iris blooming by the sea.

In her arms, she carefully cradled a Pokémon egg. It was a sea lion Pokémon egg that Zhang Heng had carefully selected for her in the water wilderness. The blue pattern on the egg emitted a soft glow, as if hiding the secrets of the water element.

Ou Yishu also saw Zhang Heng at a glance, a barely perceptible joy appeared on her face, and she walked towards him quickly.

"Zhang Heng, you're here to participate in the competition too!" Ou Yishu's voice was soft and pleasant, and she greeted the blue bird happily.

The bluebird seemed to sense her friendliness, chirping happily twice and flapping its wings.

Zhang Heng smiled and replied, "Yes, I've been looking forward to this sea fishing competition for a long time. By the way, let me introduce you to my new companion, the Blue Bird."

Ou Yishu's eyes were full of love, and she said, "It's so cute, it looks very close to you."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Heng again, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation.

Zhang Heng responded with a smile: "Yes, I have been looking forward to this sea fishing competition for a long time. Your sea lion egg..." His eyes fell on the elf egg and he used the system's ability to check it.

Pokémon Egg: Puffball

Status: Healthy, about to hatch.

Ou Yishu lowered her head slightly, looking at the egg in her arms, the corners of her mouth curled up: "I have been taking good care of this egg. I always feel that taking it to the sea fishing competition will bring me special good luck."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Heng again, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation.

Zhang Heng scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "Indeed, I hope it brings you good luck. How are your preparations going?"

After a brief conversation, Ou Yishu remembered something and said to Zhang Heng, "By the way, if you need to rent a rideable Water Pokémon to go to the sea fishing area, there's a special rental point for Ou Yishu over there. I'll go with you."

The sea fishing competition requires fishing on the vast ocean, and having a water-type Pokémon mount is essential. Although Zhang Heng has two water-type Pokémon, Squirrel is too sensitive and Swampert is too small, so there is no way for Zhang Heng to ride them.

Accompanied by Ou Yishu, Zhang Heng arrived at the Pokémon rental station. Entering the Ou Group's rental station, he saw three busy staff members and a beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor.

She was none other than Ou Yishu's aunt, Ou Yuhua. Zhang Heng had met her in the research institute in the water wilderness area and knew that she was a powerful water-type elite trainer, and also a skilled trainer who had achieved impressive results in the elite ranking tournament.

Zhang Heng immediately greeted her politely, "Auntie Ou." Seeing Zhang Heng, Ou Yuhua's face lit up with a smile, and she said, "Oh, isn't this Xiaoheng? How is it that wherever you are, I always see Yishu?"

Ou Yishu's face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? I brought Zhang Heng here to rent Pokémon."

Ou Yuhua waved her hand generously and looked at Zhang Heng with a smile: "Take your pick, choose as much as you want, and I'll give you a 5% discount on whatever you pick."

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded, responding, "Thank you, Aunt Ou."

Ou Yuhua looked at him with a hint of expectation, and then said, "Of course you can also exempt yourself from all charges, but have you forgotten something I said before?"

Zhang Heng asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about taking me as your apprentice?"

Ou Yuhua nodded slightly, her eyes full of admiration. "That's right. As long as you nod, today's rental fee will be waived, and I can give you more guidance in the future. You should know that I'm the trainer of the Water and Ground Pokémon Toadlord, which is just perfect for guiding you and your Scuttler."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng took out the Love Ball, released the Water Leaping Fish, and replied, "Auntie Ou, my Water Leaping Fish has evolved into a Swamp Leaping Fish."

As a water-type master trainer, Ou Yuhua knew that Zhang Heng had found a way to balance the energy of water and ground types when he saw the state of Swampert, which allowed it to evolve into Swampert.

And judging from the swamp leaper's sturdy physique and the vigorous energy it exudes, Zhang Heng has trained it quite well.

Ou Yuhua nodded approvingly, then looked at the Bluebird and said, "Not bad, it seems you are very good at raising Pokémon. You know that Swampert's biggest weakness is the Grass type, and you even captured a Flying type Bluebird. But that's not enough. Follow me, you can learn more, what do you think?!"
