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

Zhang Heng finally had the leisure to look back at the Shining Magikarp that was rescued by the Blue Bird.

At this moment, the brilliant sunshine poured down on Magikarp without reservation. Its scales were like polished pure gold, reflecting a dazzling and brilliant golden light, dyeing the surrounding small space with gorgeous colors.

The Shining Magikarp fluttered restlessly on the Giant Flying Fish's broad back, seemingly filled with curiosity and vigilance about its new surroundings. Seeing this, Zhang Heng immediately activated his system's ability to check its attributes.

Pokémon Name: Shiny Magikarp

Level: Level 9 (Child-level combat power)

Qualification: Rare

Attribute: Water

Features: Free to roam

Skill pool: jump, collision

After Zhang Heng finished reading it, the expression on his face froze instantly, and black lines seemed to appear on his head.

In this world, Shiny Pokémon are more than just good looks; their talent for learning skills and energy release rates often far surpass those of ordinary Pokémon.

But judging from the information displayed on the attribute panel, this shiny Magikarp in front of him is just like an ordinary Magikarp with just a new eye-catching skin.

The so-called rare-level combat power means that without special opportunities to help improve its qualifications, its future growth ceiling will probably be around level 30.

Even if they manage to evolve, they will most likely be lost in the crowd and become extremely mediocre.

Just as Zhang Heng was contemplating the Shiny Magikarp, several other fishing competitors gathered around him. A slightly chubby, smiling man spoke up first, "Young man, raising Shiny Pokémon is incredibly challenging. You're so young, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Zhang Heng looked at the uncle with great interest, and after seeing Zhang Heng's eyes, the uncle thought that Zhang Heng agreed with what he said to a certain extent.

Then he said, "How about this? I have a pretty good Sakura Fish with decent offense and defense. I'd like to trade it with you for this Shiny Magikarp. How about it? I won't let you suffer any loss."

Before Zhang Heng could respond, a man with a mustache next to him immediately stopped working. He curled his lips and glanced at the fat uncle.

"You're almost hitting me in the face with your abacus beads. Don't listen to him, young man. I have a precious Awakening Stone here. Trade this Shiny Magikarp with me. If you ever catch a Pokémon you can use, you can use this Awakening Stone to greatly increase its strength."

Immediately afterwards, several people came one after another to propose various trading conditions. Some wanted to use the Pokémon they had cultivated for a while, while others took out their treasured rare items, all staring eagerly at the Shiny Magikarp in Zhang Heng's hand.

Zhang Heng looked at the overly enthusiastic group in front of him, feeling helpless, but he still wore a polite smile on his face. He said slowly, "Uncles and brothers, I sincerely thank you for your kindness. After all, I caught this Shining Magikarp with great difficulty. I want to think about it on my own and don't want to make a deal just yet. I'm really sorry."

After hearing this, everyone looked disappointed, but they didn't know what to say. They could only drive their Pokémon away in groups of three or four.

At this time, Yishu was sitting on the back of the dragon, slowly heading towards Zhang Heng. She looked at Zhang Heng, who was squatting on the back of the giant flying fish and looking at the shining Magikarp with a conflicted look on his face, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

I asked him, "Zhang Heng, why haven't you tamed it yet? It's a Shining Magikarp, how rare is it?"

Zhang Heng heard Yishu's voice and raised his head, his brows still furrowed.

In fact, he was secretly struggling in his heart. After Magikarp evolved, Gyarados's HP base value could reach 95 points, and its special defense was also 105 points. If it could Mega Evolve, it could avoid 4 times the weaknesses, and its physical attack and special defense could achieve a leap-forward growth. Theoretically, it was really good.

Zhang Heng thought to himself, "In my current team, the unhatched Steelix can serve as a physical shield and a slow special attacker, but the team is still lacking a special shield. Gyarados can barely fill that role. However, Gyarados prefers physical attacks, and I already have Swampert."

In fact, Zhang Heng was still thinking about the little bear with a runny nose that was training hard in the mysterious space. If he trained another water-type physical attacker of the same type, he would easily be targeted in battle.

"The most important thing is that this Shiny Magikarp is too ordinary. Considering its combat strength, it's really not suitable for training. Although the red Gyarados does look cool, for a battle enthusiast like me, it's not strong enough, no matter how good-looking it is."

Zhang Heng finished his thought and suddenly seemed to remember something. He quickly asked Yishu, "Oh, right, I remember participating in the competition. If I caught Pokémon with a competition ball, did I have to return it to you, the organizer, the Ou Group?"

Yishu smiled and shook her head, explaining, "If you want to enter the judging phase, you do need to hand over your captured Pokémon to us. But if you want to capture one yourself, you can pay us the price of a Competition Ball and take it away. However, the Pokémon you take away will not be able to participate in the judging. Of course, you can also choose to capture one with your own Poké Ball."

Zhang Heng nodded thoughtfully, understanding. He knew that Ou's organization wasn't just holding this competition to promote the company or give back to the trainers.

In fact, there is also the idea of ​​asking fishing enthusiasts to help capture water-type Pokémon.

After all, there is a powerful water-type trainer in the Ou family, and the family can use this convenience to classify and screen these water-type Pokémon.

Pokémon with good qualifications will most likely be handed over to core members of the family for careful training, and precious materials for making props can also be collected from some Pokémon.

Just like the scales of sakura fish can be made into deep-sea scales, the scales of seahorse and sea dragon can be made into low-level dragon scales, and the gems shed by gem starfish can be made into mysterious water drops. Props like these all rely on the Pokémon themselves to provide the raw materials.

In this way, by holding this event, Ou's can not only enhance the company's influence and give out prizes to trainers, but also collect a lot of raw materials for making props for the family. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. After all, no one is willing to do something that is thankless.

Zhang Heng raised his hand and threw out a competition ball specially used for this competition.

In an instant, a dazzling red light flashed like lightning, accurately covering the shining Magikarp and taking it into the ball in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, the competition ball landed steadily on the back of the giant-winged flying fish, and with a crisp "click" sound, it announced that it had been successfully captured.

Since the Poké Ball used was not the one you carried with you, the system prompt sound did not sound.

Zhang Heng's mouth curled up slightly, and he had already made up his mind to make this shining Magikarp the mascot of the team.

After all, in this Pokémon world full of fantasy and uncertainty, this unique shiny skin may really bring some special good luck and become a lucky charm for the team on their journey forward.
