I really don’t want to be a champion

Therefore, I had no choice but to give up.

People who come to respond to the activities of the fishing association can be roughly divided into these categories.

One is the kind of people who particularly love fishing. For them, they don’t really care whether they catch Pokémon or not. Instead, they enjoy the process.

The second one is from an average family. They come here to fish to catch Pokémon. The price is cheap, but they are not sure about the type and qualifications of the Pokémon.

Third, like Lin Nan, you come here just to relax, but you can also exercise yourself.

Looking at the crowds gradually disappearing around him, Lin Nan began to feel better and better. After all, there were too many people, and the probability of meeting good Pokémon became smaller.

Lin Nan sat under the sun umbrella and looked at the people passing by. Their faces were as gloomy as dark clouds. Maybe they left because they couldn't catch fish, or the weather was too hot, or maybe they left every time after catching fish. No reason was grasped.

time passes slowly

The sun gradually sets, and the setting sun sets off the clouds, forming a peaceful scene.

It’s afternoon in a blink of an eye

At this moment, Lin Nan was fishing, eating, and looking at the ripples on the water.

"Hey, I took the bait."

Suddenly, waves began to appear on the water, and the fishing line continued to be pulled downwards. Lin Nan began to prepare to put away the last rod.

After a while, a standard Pokémon with a blue body and a red ring above its ears appeared.

This is Malilu

Its evolved form can have the wonderful title of "Dragon Slaying Warrior".

"Riolu, use the metal claw."

After hearing the command, Riolu's sharp claws flashed with a silvery white light, which was a display of the power of the steel system.

"Lulu"

Before she could react, Malilu was directly hit by a perfect hit. Now she was still a little confused. She was in the water fine, but she suddenly came up and received a hit inexplicably.

However, years of life also made her react quickly.

Malilu kicked off her short legs, and her short body seemed to have infinite power, and she jumped into the air.

Lin Nan took a look and realized that this was Malilu's bouncing skill.

Flying skills are twice as effective against fighting skills.

"See through it, then directly catch up and use feint attack."

Lin Nan and Riolu had a very tacit understanding. After Lin Nan just finished speaking, Riolu's eyes lit up and he noticed something keenly.

The moment the skill was released, Marilu flew directly down from the air. In an instant, Riolu suddenly dodged and successfully avoided the attack.

"Grr."

Then Riolu caught the gap between Marilu's bounce and used his hands, feet and other offensive organs to hit Marilu.

Because Malilu was too close, she couldn't react immediately and could only be beaten passively.

"Lulu."

Malilu directly sprayed out a stream of water, trying to use the reaction force of the water to distance herself.

Lin Nan didn't know how to give in and let Riolu charge forward with a water gun.

"Repay twice as much, Riolu."

Mariluna had seen such an attack before. Seeing that the Pokémon in front of her ignored the attack of her water gun, she quickly used a slam, trying to pull it back to cause damage.

It just happened that the skill Lin Nan chose was to give back double the amount.

The effect of this skill is doubled after receiving an attack, and it is also immune to physical control.

The embarrassing scene now appears

After Marilu grabbed Riolu with her hand, she found that there was no scene of throwing Riolu out, but was in a stalemate.

Immediately, Malilu was confused. Her skills that never failed failed unexpectedly in such a critical place.

An anxious expression appeared on Marilu's face.

Before Marilu could start to break free, Riolu's powerful little fist hit him directly and knocked him away.

At this moment, Malilu fell heavily to the ground and fainted.

"Go, Poké Ball."

Lin Nan threw the elf ball in his hand towards the fainted Marilu.

Suddenly there was a flash of white light, and Marilu was taken into the ball. Shake it left, shake it right.

"drop"

The elf ball rings once and the capture is successful.

"We should go home to Riolu."

Lin Nan patted Riolu and looked at the time. It was already afternoon.

After packing up his belongings, Lin Nan went to the gathering point of the fishing association. After returning other people's props, he began to settle his loot.

"Three Magikarp, a total of thirty points."

"One agate jellyfish, a total of fifty points."

"One Marilu, a total of one hundred points."

"One hundred and eighty in total. What do you need?"

The team members inside respectfully began to quote one by one, picked up the Poké Ball and placed it on an unknown machine, and soon learned the price.

Lin Nan stayed there, watching others work, and patiently waiting for their reports.

"Let me see your prize list."

After listening to their answers, Lin Nan probably knew the number of points he had, and took the initiative to ask.

The staff member was a woman with a very friendly attitude. She took out the items in a leisurely manner and handed them to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan remained silent while looking at the items on the prize list.

"Championship reward - a medium-grade water stone."

"The runner-up reward is half a month's share of water Pokémon energy cubes."

"Third place reward - a thousand yuan reward."

……

……

And some things of not very high value, large and small.

Lin Nan took a look and decided to choose a Caracara boomerang worth 150 points. The thirty points were exchanged for ten orange fruits.

Lin Nan estimated that the value of these was about five hundred, of which the main price was just the price of the boomerang. As for the orange fruits, forget it.

"Go home, Riolu."

After Lin Nan put away the things, he looked at Riolu holding the orange fruit and said helplessly

As for being so greedy?

Lin Nan, who was usually the master, didn't deny Riolu food, which made Lin Nan very embarrassed.

"Grr"

After hearing Lin Nan's words, Riolu moved his little head out of the fruit pile.

The size of the orange fruit is not very big, about the size of half an apple.

"Okay, we have to go home quickly."

Looking at Riolu who was moving left and right for fear of losing it, Lin Nan took everything back and put it in his bag.

Looking at the people still fishing around, they walked away without looking back as the sun set.

The fishing association competition ended at nine o'clock in the evening. Lin Nan did not wait until the end before leaving. He could not win the championship, so it didn't matter whether he participated or not.

Secondly, the value is not very high. The price of a medium-grade water stone ranges from a thousand to ten thousand yuan, and the high-grade ones are more expensive. As for the top-grade ones, they are hard to come by.

As for Riolu, he kept pulling at Lin Nan's trousers, trying to get his things back.

Lin Nan looked at Riolu who kept pulling him, and refused without hesitation.

"I'll give it to you to eat when I get home, and it's also available at home."

After listening to Lin Nan's words, Riolu followed Lin Nan quietly.

"Grr"

Riolu held his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Nan quietly, probably still protesting deep in his heart.

Why are you trying to steal my things? (／_＼) Big grudge

……

……

After returning home

While eating, Dad Lin suddenly asked,

"You went fishing today, how did you feel?"

While eating, Lin Nan was suddenly asked and choked.

"cough cough"

Lin Nan patted his chest and returned to normal.

"It's okay, Dad, why didn't you go?"

Father Lin sighed, his tone full of helplessness. You must know that his favorite activity is fishing! However, after working these years, I have less and less time for activities.
