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

"What do you think?!"

Zhang Heng was shocked. Although he was eager to make further progress in Pokémon training, the sudden decision made him feel a little overwhelmed.

On the one hand, being able to become a disciple of a top trainer is undoubtedly a great opportunity; on the other hand, he doesn't want to make a hasty decision because of such a deal.

He thought for a moment and said sincerely: "Auntie Ou, your proposal is too precious to me, but this is a big deal, I want to consider it carefully."

Ou Yuhua laughed heartily. "Good boy, you have your own ideas! Okay, I'll wait for your reply. Go ahead and pick the Pokémon you want to ride."

Zhang Heng came to an enclosed area of ​​the sea next to the dock and checked the Pokémon that could be rented. There were many types of water-type Pokémon here.

There is a huge catfish king, lying quietly at the bottom of the water, with clear and deep eyes, occasionally waving its long whiskers;

The adorable Ironclad Shell, covered in a hard shell, looks silly, but its power is not to be underestimated.

There are also nimble and agile swimmers who shuttle happily in the water, and their agile figures seem to show their vitality.

Zhang Heng stood at the rental point, his eyes scanning the numerous Pokémon one by one, thinking to himself: Choosing a larger water-type Pokémon would be more suitable for long-term fishing on the sea.

He wandered between the various Pokémon, carefully observing their status. Finally, Zhang Heng's eyes fell on a giant flying fish.

Scuttler is a docile Pokémon. Although Scuttler, which covets food scraps, will cling to its fins while it swims leisurely in the sea, it does not care.

It has a flat body and a broad back, like a flying magic carpet. Sitting on it is also a very good choice for fishing.

This giant flying fish looks a little lazy, floating leisurely on the water, its broad wings flapping gently, creating ripples.

But Zhang Heng noticed that there was a sense of calmness and reliability in its eyes.

Zhang Heng walked towards the staff in charge of rentals and said, "Hello, I'd like to rent this giant flying fish."

The staff member smiled gently, then took out a giant flying fish Poké Ball and said, "Sure."

Zhang Heng nodded, took the Poké Ball from the Giant Winged Flying Fish, and then walked towards the Giant Winged Flying Fish carefully.

He gently stroked the back of the giant-winged flying fish and said softly, "The next game is up to you." The giant-winged flying fish seemed to understand his words and gently flapped its wings in response.

Everything was ready. Zhang Heng sat steadily on the back of the giant flying fish, holding the reins tightly with both hands, ready to embark on this sea fishing trip full of challenges and unknowns.

With a resounding whistle, the competition officially began. Trainers, armed with their fishing gear and riding their rented Water Pokémon, headed towards the sea fishing area like arrows from a bow.

Zhang Heng rode on a giant-winged flying fish, speeding across the sparkling sea. The sea breeze blew, bringing with it the unique scent of the sea.

Zhang Heng turned around and stumbled upon Ou Yishu, who was sitting not far away. She was riding steadily on the back of a massive dragon, the beloved Pokémon of her aunt Ou Yuhua.

The huge body of the Chenglong floated steadily on the sea, creating ripples with every movement. Ou Yishu stared at the fishing rod with a serious and focused expression, the sea breeze gently ruffling her hair.

Several Poké Balls containing Water-attribute Pokémon were already placed beside her, indicating a bountiful harvest. The blue-patterned Poké Egg sat quietly in a custom-made basket beside her, seemingly witnessing the match as well.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath and turned his attention back to his fishing rod. He held the rod firmly in his right hand, with his index finger lightly resting on the Pokéline, ready to sense the slightest movement of the Pokémon biting the hook.

With his left hand, he took out a carefully prepared piece of water-attribute Pokémon's favorite bait from a special bait box and scattered it under the sea, ready to make a nest.

This bait was carefully mixed before the game using a variety of ingredients that water-attribute Pokémon liked. It exudes a unique aroma that can spread quickly in the sea water and attract the attention of Pokémon.

Zhang Heng skillfully hung the bait on the specially made Pokéhook, making sure the hook was completely covered with no exposed part to avoid startling the Pokémon.

Then, he leaned back slightly, gathered strength, and swung the fishing rod out in a smooth parabolic motion. The elf line drew a graceful arc in the air and fell accurately into the selected fishing spot with the bait.

The water in this area is of moderate depth and there are some reefs around it. It is a place where water-attribute Pokémon like to gather and feed. Zhang Heng selected this area after consulting a lot of information and observing this area before the game.

He placed the fishing rod on a special stand and adjusted the angle so that the Pokéline would hang naturally while being able to quickly transmit force when the Pokémon bit the hook.

His eyes were fixed on the Pokémon float, not missing any unusual signs. While waiting, Zhang Heng would occasionally gently lift and pull the fishing rod, adjusting to the currents of the sea and wind direction, to create slight dynamic movements in the water, simulating the movement of live bait and thus attracting the Pokémon's attention.

Not long after, the fishing rod sank suddenly. Zhang Heng was delighted. He did not immediately lift the rod with force, but pulled it back gently to allow the hook to enter the Pokémon's mouth steadily.

"Go away!"

Zhang Heng exerted steady force, reeling in the line quickly and rhythmically. A red Magikarp, with a small yellow crown atop its head, broke through the water and was successfully reeled in.

Zhang Heng quickly reached for the competition ball at his waist while using the system's ability to check Magikarp's qualifications.

Pokémon Name: Magikarp

Level: 6 (Child-level combat power)

Qualification: Rare

Zhang Heng looked at the Magikarp carefully and found that its talent was mediocre. The number of competition balls he brought with him was limited, so he had to save them for catching Pokémon with more potential.

Magikarp are resilient and don't mind being in dirty water. They live in waters all over the world. They swim in the sea, rivers, ponds, and even puddles...

According to the Pokédex, it's known for being unreliable, physically weak, mentally dull, and useless. Its strength and speed are practically nonexistent, making it the weakest and most pitiful Pokémon in the world. However, its reproduction rate is astonishing, reaching such a high level that it's practically tiresome to see.

After a moment's hesitation, he gently put the Magikarp back into the sea, not daring to kick it in, for fear that it would evolve.

But after the Magikarp returned to the water, it stared back at Zhang Heng with a dull expression, not moving a muscle. Zhang Heng was stunned, then struck it on the head with his fishing rod. Then, wagging its tail in pain, it slowly disappeared into the sea...
