"Fishing is actually a way of cultivation. Because waiting for a fish to be baited is a boring and tedious thing, it is possible to go down for hours without even a single fish being baited. It's a skill of patience, and if you're too impatient, you might disturb the spirits in the water. ”

"Ah...... It's been five minutes...... Why haven't you taken the bait yet! ”

"Look, that's the negative textbook. It is so loud that it is obvious that the fish in the water say that there is someone and scare them away. It's better to sit here obediently like me, calm down, as long as you stay for a few hours, you can always take the bait. ”

"Great! It only took five minutes to take the bait!! ”

"Attention! It's called a bite, not a hook! Today's young people don't pay attention to the words at all, and a simple bite does not mean that they can pull it up, and you must know that pulling the line is also very timing. If one is not careful, the line is likely to break, and the fish will eat directly. ”

"It's so hard to pull...... Is it a good water spirit!? ”

"Well, that kind is the least worth learning, it's just a simple fish hooked, what's the big deal, and even cheering, I don't know if the hope is greater, the greater the disappointment? It seems that all of the ** are carp kings. ”

"Oooh oh!! It's a pincer crab! Go for it, Poké Ball! ”

"Tsk, this looks like a rookie trainer who has just been out for a long time. The elves who pull the hook directly are full of physical strength, and they don't consume their physical strength through battles, and they still use ordinary Poke Balls, how can they catch it? ”

"Great! I've managed to take in the pincer crab! Not...... What should I call him......? ”

“…… Therefore, fishing is an activity that pays attention to luck, and good character can naturally fish well. ”

"Flutter ......"

A little girl sat on the fishing ground, watching Zero someone be slapped in the face by a novice fishing enthusiast in the neighborhood and couldn't help but laugh.

"You've finally spoken......"

Zero looked at the girl next to him, wearing a white dress, her long black and silky hair drooping down from the straw hat, her complexion was very fair, and there was a tear mole under her left eye, she was generally a beautiful beauty.

Zero, who came to the fishing ground in Withered Leaf City early, picked a corner and sat there and started boring fishing, and this girl obviously came to travel with her family, but maybe the girl was in the rebellious stage, so she didn't choose to sit with her parents but came to the corner of the fishing ground to sit.

When Zero kept talking to this girl she didn't know, the girl was also observing Zero, her bare arms were yellowish-brown, and she looked like she was often exposed to the wind and sun and never cared about her skin, although she kept talking, her eyes kept glancing in her direction, if she didn't want to go over and sit with her parents, she would have left a long time ago.

"Why haven't I caught it all morning......?"

The girl looked at the cheering side, although she was a novice fisherman, but the rods, fishing pockets, and boxes containing the bait were all high-end goods, and they were on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, where the most water spirits gathered.

Glancing at Zero again, the rod was made entirely of a long bamboo tied with a thin thread and a small fish trench, and it was obvious that his bait was completely pulled out of the ground and slightly rolled into a ball and hung on the hook.

What a lowly elf it has to be to take the bait!!

Although she has been complaining about someone in her heart, the girl's facial expression has not changed at all, as if it was not her who was laughing just now.

"Ahhhh If you don't take the bait, you'll blow up this fish pond! ”

It seems that someone just said that fishing is a self-cultivation activity?

"Plop!"

I don't know if someone's thought moved the heavens, not far in front of them, a carp king suddenly jumped out of the water.

"Ahh Hooked! Go for it, Poké Ball! ”

Let's not talk about it, don't you have to consume the opponent's physical strength first? The key is that the carp king obviously didn't bite the hook, he jumped out of the water by himself, okay!!

After the carp king was included in the Poké Ball, the Poké Ball didn't even shake and jumped out directly, and then sank into the water and never showed his face again.

“……”

Looking at Zero with a lost face, the girl couldn't help but open her mouth and comforted, "Na, maybe you can catch it with a better Poke Ball, right?" ”

"Huh?" Zero was taken aback by the girl's sudden words, but turned his head to find that the girl had already looked at him and the fish had drifted away, and said with some embarrassment, "That...... One Super Ball can buy two ordinary balls......"

Looking at Zero, who was weakly returning to her chair and sitting down, the girl was a little embarrassed, she should have seen that with this kind of worn-out fishing rod and bait that came with her hand, she still had to mention his pain on his side.

"That...... Are you a local? ”

"No," Zero scratched his head, "I'm a trainer in the Johto area, and I'm here to challenge the gym." ”

"Oh......"

Once again, the two men fell into an awkward silence.

Although at first I thought it was too embarrassing for two people not to speak, so Zero kept talking about it, but once I spoke, I didn't know what topic to find.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells"

The phone in Zero's pocket happened to interrupt the brief silence, and Zero looked at the caller ID and it was his brother Kim calling.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Huh? When are you going home? I don't know...... Originally, I planned to go back after challenging the eight gyms in Kanto, but now the owner of the gym in Withered Leaf City has been found to be a member of Team Rocket, resulting in the suspension of the gym now. Dude, I really don't know what to do right now. ”

"yes...... It seems that there is not only this one gym, but also two gyms. But the old brother has a reason to challenge. ”

"Anyway, you can help me talk to my mother. If they don't open for a few more weeks, I'll go back. Well, that's it, bye-bye. ”

"You have a brother?"

"Well," Zero retracted his phone and nodded, "but it's usually very disturbing, and it hasn't stopped since I was a child, and I've been causing trouble." ”

"No, no, no, it's the real trouble to have two younger sisters," the girl said with palpitations, but the tenderness in her eyes couldn't be erased, "always bothering me while I was working." ”

"I think my sister should be pretty well-behaved, right? It's not like my brother who just knows how to play every day. ”

"It's not, my sister or something is actually the most noisy!"

The two unexpectedly found a common topic, and then began to discuss their own ways of raising their younger siblings, and even began to break the news about their previous childhood troubles.

"The funniest time my brother used to be hiding under the covers in the middle of the night to play games, he put on headphones but forgot to plug them into the game console, causing the whole house to hear his game sound, and he was directly grabbed and spanked by his parents."

"Hahaha! My sister tried this too! ”

"Ah, by the way," Zero asked curiously, "where have you been?" ”

"Me?" The girl suddenly remembered that she hadn't introduced herself yet, "I'm from the Hoenn region, so it's good if you call me Xiaoli." ”

"My name is Zero, and I'm from the Johto area." Zero couldn't help asking, "Is the Hoenn region far from here?" ”

"Are you alright?" Xiaoli tilted her head and thought for a while, "Anyway, after two or three days on a boat, this is the first time I've come to Kanto." ”

"Huh? Do you need me to show you around? It's only been a few days, but I've almost walked around the Dead Leaves Market. ”

Xiaoli looked at her parents, and found that they had been chatting with their sister intently, and had no intention of paying attention to this side, so the girl directly put away the fishing rod, stood up and said to Zero.

"Let's go, then!"

"Huh!?"

Although he was frightened by the girl's resoluteness, Zero also obediently dismantled his fishing rod and took back his backpack, and after accompanying Xiaoli to return the rented fishing rod, the two left the fishing ground directly.

"Well, when it comes to Withered Leaf City, the biggest place here is his port, as the largest seafaring port in the Kanto region, the seafood here is the most delicious, and the biggest ship here is naturally the St. Annu, which travels around the world and returns to Withered Leaf once a month. Yes...... I really want to sit on it once......"

"As for the second place to mention, I have to say that it is the Pokémon Fan Club, although this club has begun to establish its own branches in each region, I don't know why there is no Johto District......"

"Ahh Xiaoli said in surprise, "My family has suddenly opened a new club, can we go over and take a look?" ”

"Absolutely."

With Zero's lead, the two came to the west of Withered Leaf City, where a super luxurious guild hall was set up, which could be entered and visited at will, and after entering, they found that there was an old man in a suit with a white beard pointing to an oversized portrait in the middle to tell the story of himself and the flaming horse.

But the audience below was obviously in a state of drowsiness, and one audience member finally couldn't listen to the old man's speech, and said loudly.

"Na, grandpa president! Didn't you say okay to tell Xiaochi's story today? We're here to hear the story of the Quartz League champions. ”

"That's right...... I don't know how many times I've heard your story of the flaming horse, old man! What we want to hear is the story of Xiao Chi! ”

As more and more echoes grew, the old man finally stopped his speech, and reluctantly glanced at the photo of himself and the flaming horse on the huge canvas, and could only pull open the red cloth next to it, revealing a large photo.

"Oooh! It's Xiao Chi! ”

"So he's really a member of our club!"

Listening to the voices one after another, Xiaoli secretly lowered her voice and asked in Zero's ear, "Who is the person in red in that photo?" ”

"Xiao Chi, it's the champion of this year's Quartz League."

"Oh oh, the champion of the local league? It's amazing...... "Looking at Xiaoli, who was fascinated by the photo, Zero wanted to say that he was also one of the champions.

"At that time, when I first saw Xiao Chi, I thought he was not an ordinary person! When he walked in front of me with a Pikachu, I knew he was definitely a league champion! The kind eyes, the smile like a spring breeze, and the naughty and cute Pikachu. ”

"I rushed over to invite him to join our club as soon as possible, and Xiao Chijun immediately agreed. At that time, the elves of our club members were suddenly stolen one after another...... Even my lovely Kathy is gone...... Woowoo woo ......"

The president suddenly burst into tears, and some of the members of the department also sobbed when they remembered that their elves had also suffered from this pain.

"But! Xiao Chijun actually relied on the strength of one person to break into the St. Annu, which was deeply controlled by evil forces, and was not timid in front of many evil sailors, and directly defeated all the bad guys with his fast swimming frog! Successfully rescued everyone's elves! ”

"He also subdued the Kirbymon who had been blocking the intersection here, and cleared the way for us!"

"Finally, solve the headquarters of Team Rocket! Shiluff Company!! ”

"It's amazing...... Xiao Li's eyes once again shone brightly, after all, anyone will like young and powerful heroes, and Xiao Chi is quite handsome.

Girlish! I've saved the Nell Cave and the Gold Emporium!! I also contributed to the incident of the Shylulf company!!

I don't know why Zero was aroused by the man's competitive nature, just like his own King Nido.

"But this time he was treated unfairly in the quartz league competition! It was obviously the opponent's King Nido who fell first, so why should a draw be decided!? Here, I hope you can join me in co-branding the Elf Alliance! Also our overall champion of Kanto City!! ”

"Oooh oh!!"

Now Xiaoli was also driven by the president's passionate speech and began to shout with the crowd.

"Now," Xiaoli came back with two slips from the front and handed one of them to Zero, "You'll write it too, right?" Justify this great hero. ”

Looking at this upright-looking girl, Ling Qiang nodded with tears in his eyes and wrote his name on the proposal.

"Zero-kun, you're such a good person."

Little Red ...... Lao Tzu is not finished with you in this life!!
