Chapter 9: The King of the Carp
In addition, you will have to buy a Poké Ball first.
Because of the special nature of the Agumon itself, it is best not to take it with it in a human settlement with a complex composition such as a town until it has enough strength.
It is safest to carry it in a Poké Ball.
And to buy Poké Balls, it also costs money.
Watching as the Agumon opened to pick the fruit, Aoyagi got up and began to look around for suitable trees.
There are too many orange fruits, and there is no backpack, so you can only find some softer bark to make a simple backpack by yourself.
With the dull sound of hitting the trees one after another, the Agumon knocked down all the ripe fruit that showed signs of loosening.
Aoyagi also found a tree with relatively soft bark, asked the agumon to peel off a large piece of it, and after a simple operation, asked it to control the temperature of the small flame, baked the edges of the bark to the point where it was soft and could be glued, and finally poked four holes with the claws of the agumon near the four corners, and tied a woven straw rope as a harness.
After waiting for it to cool down, an improvised bark backpack is all set.
"In addition to the two in the hands of the Agumon, there are a total of 50 orange orange fruits, if we can sell them all, it should be enough to buy a Poké Ball and some necessities."
After packing all the orange orange fruits, Aoyagi carried them on his back and began to set off towards the west.
The Agumon followed him, and said very strongly that it would be good to leave it to him.
In the end, Aoyagi decided that one man and one beast would take turns carrying their backs, and Agumon agreed.
……
As when I left the ruins, walking through the forest, I could vaguely see some sunlight through the leaves, and the soft earth under my feet, only kept moving forward.
However, unlike the cautious man he was when he first crossed into this world, now that the Agumon was by his side, he didn't have to be too careful.
Some of the weaker wild Pokémon living in the forest will take the initiative to avoid it when they see the Agumon and feel the unpleasant aura emanating from it.
Coming and going saved them a lot of time.
As for some powerful high-level Pokémon, Aoyagi, who has been searching around with the panel, will observe it in advance and then actively bypass it.
After walking for more than half an afternoon, I finally saw a very vague human building in the distance by a river.
"Whew~"
Aoyagi let out a long breath, surveyed his surroundings, and sat down on the stone next to him.
"Agumon, put your backpack down, I'll rest here tonight."
The Agumon carrying the bark backpack was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"You've seen the town, why don't you rush over before it gets dark?"
Aoyagi shook his head and said, "Even if we speed up again, it will definitely be dark when we arrive in the town, and we may not be able to find a place to live, and there are many nocturnal Pokémon at night, and if we encounter a difficult Pokémon when we are very tired, it will be dangerous." ”
"Okay."
Agumon nodded, gently placing his backpack aside.
Since Aoyagi has an idea, it just does it.
Along the way, Aoyagi has done a lot more than it knows, and the key is to get it right every time.
This made the Agumon feel that it was not good at using its brain anyway, so it would simply leave it to someone with a bright head like Aoyagi to do, and it would be in charge of fighting and fighting.
In Aoyagi's words, this is what it is: a reasonable division of labor, a perfect match.
Just as the Agumon was impressed by his ingenuity, a somewhat dull voice sounded by the river not far away.
Agumon's expression instantly became serious.
The sound, it's all too familiar.
Definitely a big guy!
After so many years of catching fish and eating fish, it is well versed in the way of fish, and it judged that the sound of entering the water just now was definitely not something else or creature, but a fish.
Moreover, it is definitely a big fish with strong body and abundant physical strength and athletic ability.
Otherwise, the sound of its entry into the water should not be so dull, but more crisp.
This suddenly reminded the Agumon of his determination to catch fish to repay him when he was in the ruins of random, when Aoyagi gave it food.
And all the way through, Aoyagi has taken care of it to eat and drink, while he himself has eaten nothing but a few fruits.
This is obviously not good, but it can't do anything about it, after all, there are few things it can do in the forest, and if it is not lost, it can be regarded as burning high incense.
But now, here's the chance to repay!
The Agumon carefully placed its backpack full of orange fruits, and then hurried towards the river.
"Agumon, what are you doing?"
Seeing the suddenly somewhat abnormal Agumon, Aoyagi couldn't help but ask.
"I'll catch the fish, wait for me for a while."
The Agumon head didn't reply, but responded loudly with its mouth wide open.
Catch fish?
Aoyagi frowned and looked at the river that lay across the edge of the forest directly in front of the Agumon.
"Are there any ordinary fish in this world? Or is it a Pokémon of fish? ”
Aoyagi pulled up the panel and began to scan through the river.
Soon, a fish leaps high from the surface of the river and bursts into view.
It was a red fish.
It looks very similar to a carp, but it has a yellow whisker that is longer than a catfish's whiskers on the side of its mouth, and a golden crown-shaped fin on the top of its head.
Its information is displayed on the panel.

【Condition】Healthy
【Information Summary】Strength and speed are almost inadequate, and they are useless except for fecundity, and they are the weakest Pokémon in the world.
It is said that in very distant antiquity, the carp kings were still very powerful, but they did not know where to start, and they gradually became extremely weak.
However, thanks to their high energy and great love of jumping, they can be used as shields actively or passively, allowing more Pokémon to survive longer.
"It turned out to be the king carp."
Seeing that it was it, Aoyagi was not surprised.
As a representation of fecundity, there are traces of the king carp's activity in all known areas, and it can be alive and kicking as long as there is water anyway.
"But this thing isn't a good thing to eat."
Eating Pokémon or not is another matter, in Aoyagi's impression of the Pokémon anime, more than one person said that the meat of the carp king is very unpalatable, and almost all the whole body is full of bones, there is not much meat, and there is no place to put it in the mouth.
In other words, if you catch it, you will catch it in vain.
Thinking of this, Aoyagi prepared to call the Agumon back.
But before he could speak, he saw the Agumon face of the river, and directly opened its mouth to a small flame.
The first shot is not over, followed by the second, third, and fourth serves...... Continuous.
