Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

"Thank you, Uncle Beno." Fang Zhou, unaware of what the fishing uncle was thinking, happily accepted the fishing rod.

When he was a child, his father often took him fishing, teaching him to calm down and focus on doing one thing at a time, and to learn to be calm. This has shaped Fangzhou's calm personality, which allows him to remain composed no matter what happens when he grows up.

He decided to take Ralts fishing tomorrow, as a way of passing on the tradition.

Ralts came closer and curiously tugged at the float on the fishing rod a couple of times, like a kitten playing with a cat toy.

"Hey, is this your Pokémon? It's a shiny Ralts! That's really rare." The fisherman bent down to examine the Ralts closely, then gave it a thumbs up.

Ralts used its psychic powers to fly, proudly waving its cape.

"Oh, by the way, I have some extra bait here, I'll give it all to you."

The fishing uncle generously gave Fangzhou a bag of bait.

After saying goodbye to Uncle George and Uncle Benoit, the Ark headed home.

Before it got completely dark, Ark and Ralts replanted a batch of Parsnip, putting all the seeds they had on hand into the ground.

However, the flower sea project is progressing with difficulty. It is too difficult for the two of them to grow a sea of ​​flowers on their own, unless they buy a farming machine.

However, my farming skills are about to be upgraded.

The next morning, Fangzhou got up and washed up, and woke up Ralts, who was sleeping in.

"Ralu! 〒▽〒"

"Ralts, you can't sleep anymore! I told you last night we're going fishing today!"

"Ralts!" Upon hearing the word "fishing," Ralts immediately perked up and sprang out of bed with a somersault.

It has never seen what fishing is like.

They circled the ark, excitedly watching it pack its things.

Fangzhou stuffed the food and bait into a backpack.

Carrying a fishing rod while cycling was inconvenient, and since the river wasn't far from his estate, Fangzhou decided to walk.

Carrying prepared food and bait in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, they marched proudly toward the river with Ralts.

Before long, the sound of flowing water could be heard in the distance, and a few steps further on, the scenery along the river came into view.

A few Psyducks sat on the rocks basking in the sun, and occasionally one or two Lobster Soldiers could be seen peeking out of the river.

Corphish is one of the easiest Pokémon to survive. Whether in the sea or a river, and regardless of whether the environment is suitable for survival, they can live comfortably.

Another Pokémon that is easy to raise is Feebas.

According to the Pokédex, only these two types of Pokémon can be found in heavily polluted rivers.

Several small fish swam leisurely in the river, occasionally leaping out of the water only to be snatched away by a passing Mook eagle.

Ordinary creatures still exist in the Pokémon world, and they usually play the role of food.

Fangzhou found a quiet spot to sit down, took out his fishing rod, and baited it.

Throw it into the river.

Waiting for the bait to bite.

[Ding! Fishing skill awakened!]

[Fishing (Level 1, 0/300): There is a chance to catch Magikarp. If your fishing level is high enough, you can even catch Kyogre.]

A gentle breeze rippled the water's surface, and several lotus leaf children peeked over, curious about what the human was doing.

Ralts, standing to the side, yawned boredly.

It listlessly surveyed the water's surface, then turned to look at the ark.

Is this what fishing looks like?

There was no movement for a long time.

If you want to catch fish, you don't need to go through all this trouble.

A light bulb popped out of its head, and it suddenly had an idea.

His eyes lit up with blue light, and a ball of blue energy quickly condensed in the air, appearing above the river before falling heavily to the ground.

While fishing, Fang Zhou had a strange premonition. He looked up and saw a blue swarm of superpowered beings descending with the force of a collision between Mars and Earth.

Before he could stop it, the ball of light had already fallen and crashed into the river!

Bang bang bang!

It was like a nuclear bomb exploding, sending huge splashes of water flying in all directions!

Dozens of fish were blown out and fell onto the shore with a splash.

A few innocent Magikarp were caught in the middle, completely bewildered as they were knocked into the air.

The loud noise startled the Pokémon around.

Lotus Leaf Boy hid in the grass, and Psyduck also ran to hide in the grass by the river, covering its eyes with its two paws and burying its head in the grass with its rear end sticking out, like someone trying to hide their ears while stealing a bell.

Fang Zhou's clothes were mostly wet, and he reached up to wipe the water from his face.

What's going on here?

Ralts, standing to the side, was still gloating.

Looking at the dozens of fish jumping around on the ground, it proudly puffed out its chest.

"Ralu!"

He looked at Fangzhou expectantly, his face full of praise.

Several Magikarp, dazed from the blast, poked their heads out of the water, glared angrily at Ralts, and made gurgling sounds of condemnation.

Fangzhou was a little worried that these Magikarp might evolve into Gyarados out of anger, and just like in the cartoons, send themselves to their deaths with a few Hyper Beams.

After thinking it over, Ark called Ralts over.

He began, "Ralts, fishing is not just about catching fish, but also a way to cultivate one's character."

"It's wrong to directly fry fish." He pointed to the angry Magikarp, "It will destroy the living environment of other Pokémon."

Newborn Pokémon are just like children; it's a crucial period for shaping their values ​​and worldview.

Fangzhou felt that since he had already taken on the role of Ralts' parents, he could not only provide material support, but also spiritual guidance, which was what made him a qualified parent.

Although the issue of frying fish can be considered a big deal or a small deal, if it's not corrected from the beginning, it will become troublesome later on.

Just like Mewtwo in the movie, he has great power, but no one helped him to understand the world correctly from the beginning, which is why he developed a paranoid and awkward personality later on.

The greater the ability, the greater the destructive power; therefore, it is all the more important to guide it carefully.

Ralts lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and turned away, unwilling to face it all.

It was only two days old and this was the first time it had ever seen Ark with such a serious expression.

Fang Zhou continued earnestly, "For example, if we were inside a house right now, and someone threw things at us or kicked us out, how would you feel?"

"Ralts..." Ralts thought for a moment and realized that she would definitely be very angry.

Fangzhou nodded. "Put yourself in their shoes. Magikarp was attacked by you for no reason, which is why it was so angry."

Ralts nodded as if it understood, stepped forward, and looked apologetically at the Magikarp: "Ralts."

Fangzhou also bowed to Magikarp, "I'm very sorry, I've disturbed you."

Ralts' attack was not very powerful, and with the water's surface cushioning it, the Magikarp were not actually seriously injured; they were mainly frightened.

Seeing that Ralts was apologizing sincerely, and considering that it was still a child, Ralts didn't hold it against them anymore, flicked its tail, and swam back into the water.

The other Pokémon, who had just been frightened by Ralts, also resurfaced.

Fangzhou felt embarrassed to stay there any longer.

Besides, the fish were just fried, so there probably aren't any fish left to catch in the river.

He put all the fish on the shore into buckets, and once he got back, he put them in the refrigerator. It would be enough to eat for several days.

They packed up their things, told Ralts to move to a different location, and headed upstream.

Try your luck elsewhere.
