Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

With three days to go before the Grand Contest, Kirlia needs to train hard, so only Ark is fishing this time.

I rode my bicycle to the riverbank and saw Psyduck already there.

"Sorry I'm late."

Fangzhou took out two plastic buckets, placed them on the ground, filled them with water, and planned to use them to catch fish later.

Then turn on the simple mini oven; the flames flicker, and heat the oven up first.

Finally, I opened the little vest, took out the bait, cast the line, and started fishing along with Psyduck.

The catch at night seems to be even easier than during the day. A splashing sound came from the Psyduck's side, and it skillfully reeled in its line.

Wow!

Looks like he's a seasoned angler.

They skewer the fish and put it directly on the grill to bake.

Soon, Ark also reaped some rewards.

A silver carp was caught.

Fishing experience points +10

Sure enough, the high-end fishing rod was really useful. Fangzhou started fishing while he was busy grilling fish.

With a strong flick, the fishing line flew out.

At that moment, in the moonlight, a dark shadow seemed to fly through the air, flapping its wings.

The blue-winged bird had mixed feelings. It had gotten separated from its companions because it had overslept and fallen behind during the migration.

Fortunately, there is a small river nearby with plenty of small fish, so at least there is something to eat.

As it pondered what to do next, it suddenly felt something fly over and land on its wing.

?

What the hell?

Then it realized it was a fishhook!

The fishhook got tangled in its fluffy, cloud-like feathers!

The entangled wings were pulled by a force, causing it to lose its balance instantly and fall straight into the water.

thump!

Fang Zhou was startled. Oh no!

It looks like I caught a bird!

A bird's head popped out of the water, and the blue cotton bird struggled frantically in the water.

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (Help! Help!)

Fangzhou quickly pulled the fishing line back, trying to get the bluebird ashore first.

As soon as the blue cotton bird landed on the shore, it immediately glared angrily at the humans in front of it.

With its two little chicken legs spread apart, wings slightly outstretched, and panting, it looked like a little dinosaur opening its mouth wide and unleashing a barrage of attacks at the Ark.

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (Are you a salted shrimp?)

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (It flings the hook at me!)

"Squeak squeak squeak!" (Can I squeeze those two pimples under my eyebrows?!)

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (I told you not to go home empty-handed, but I didn't expect you to catch nothing!)

It looked at its once white and fluffy feathers, now dirty and wet, with a pitiful expression, and felt even more aggrieved.

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (He was flying leisurely and with ease, but you, old sixth brother, made him scramble and tumble in a hurry.)

Fangzhou, realizing he was in the wrong, apologized frantically, "I'm so sorry, Qingmianbird, it was too dark at night, I really didn't see you just now."

Ark wanted to help the Blue Swallow untangle the fishing line from its wings, but the Blue Swallow wouldn't let it near, screaming as it ran away.

It took a lot of effort to finally get it into my arms, and the blue cotton bird struggled and let out a pitiful cry.

Psyduck scratched its head.

It's so noisy!

This blue cottonbird is so noisy, it's affecting its fishing.

What should we do?

Psyduck fell into deep thought...

Psyduck unleashed its amazing wisdom.

Psyduck suddenly realized!

Fangzhou was busy untangling the tightly knotted fishing line and didn't notice that Psyduck had quietly crept up from behind him.

Snapped!

Psyduck slapped Swaboon on the head, making a crisp sound.

Then she quickly turned around, covered her cheeks with her two little hands, and pretended that she didn't know anything.

I didn't do it.

Blue Cotton Bird: ?!

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!" (Heavens! Not only did they hook me with the fishing line, they hit me!!! They even hit my face! I can't live anymore!)

The blue cotton bird struggled even harder in Fang Zhou's arms in anger.

"Ouch! Psyduck, why did you hit it? Now the fishing line is even harder to untangle."

Fang Zhou was both amused and exasperated. "By the way, do you know how to petrify? It's too unruly. Let's control it first."

"Quack." Psyduck turned around, looking bewildered, as if the Swaboon that had just slapped it really wasn't it.

It glanced at the frantically fluttering blue cotton bird, nodded, and its eyes lit up with blue light.

In an instant, the blue cotton bird seemed to have been choked by fate, and it remained motionless.

Sure enough, Psychic-type Pokémon are really useful.

Fangzhou was finally able to untangle the fishing line.

Once Ark untied the string, Psyduck canceled its petrification ability. Swaboon instantly broke free from Ark's embrace and tried to run away, but after flapping its wings twice, it got wet and couldn't fly anymore, so it crashed back to the ground.

Finally, it ran away to a distance, curled up in a ball looking aggrieved, and continued to mutter curses at Fangzhou.

They were pitiful, weak, and helpless.

Fangzhou handed a grilled fish from the grill and placed it in front of the blue cotton bird. "Sorry, come over to the stove and dry off, or you'll catch a cold. Here, I'll treat you to this grilled fish as an apology."

The little blue cotton bird tossed its head away and turned it to the side.

I! No! Want!

You've treated me like this, I'm not going to eat your food!

Fangzhou reluctantly put the grilled fish on the ground and walked back to the stool.

The aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air and reached the nose of the blue-winged bird.

hiss~

It smells so good!

It thought about it for a moment and then suddenly realized something was wrong.

The ark got caught on itself, causing it to fall into the water; this grilled fish is an apology.

If I don't eat it, then I've just wasted my time in the water!

Wouldn't that be an even bigger loss?

Suddenly, it felt completely at ease and no longer had any psychological burden, so it started eating the grilled fish quickly with gusto.

Mmm! It smells delicious!

This human may be blind, but his grilled fish skills are really good.

After finishing the grilled fish, it immediately felt warm all over, dispelling the chill from falling into the water.

The little eyes glanced at the Ark's grill, where many fish were sizzling and emitting a delicious aroma.

A mere grilled fish can't possibly make up for the injustice I suffered being arrested! They should compensate me for all the grilled fish here!

It trotted over to the grill with its short legs, grabbed a fish, and started eating.

Upon seeing Fang Zhou looking at him, he immediately opened his big, beady eyes.

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (Hey! You're not happy about that! All these grilled fish are an apology to me!)

OK OK.

Fangzhou was both amused and exasperated. He had originally planned to bring some grilled fish back to the manor, but now it had all gone into the little thing's belly.

But this thing is so small, how come it has such a big appetite?

After eating and drinking to its heart's content, the blue cotton bird squatted beside the stove, feeling sleepy.

It lifted a chicken leg, buried its head in its wing, and began to snore away to sleep.

Fang Zhou's lips curled up. Just a moment ago, they were so fierce and hostile towards him, but after eating two little fish, they now dare to sleep next to him.

This blue cottonbird looks very young. It's actually very difficult for such a young bird to survive in the wild. It must have gotten separated from its flock.

Fangzhou remembers that in Pokémon Advanced Era, Ash and his friends encountered a lone Swablu that had gotten separated from its flock and was almost captured by Xiaoyao.

Psyduck fished for a while longer before preparing to go home.

It cannot leave the temple for too long.

"Psyduck, let's meet up again next time!"

"Quack quack." Psyduck waved its hand and left with its fishing rod on its back.

Fangzhou looked at the blue cotton bird sleeping next to the stove with some helplessness.

Ugh, this is a real headache, what should I do with this guy?
