Chapter 139 King of Goldfish
Chapter 139 King of Goldfish
The usually tranquil Yuanshan Lake remains calm at this moment.
However, there is a slight difference: at this moment, more than a hundred small fishing boats are quietly drifting on Yuanshan Lake.
Each fishing boat had three people, all intently watching their fishing rods.
However, the boundless lake surface is occasionally rippled.
For example, right now, a small boat has encountered some trouble.
"Luther, hold on, I'm coming to help you!"
The man called Luther was bracing his feet firmly against the wooden edge of the fishing boat, his entire body leaning backward, and the fishing rod in his hand bent almost at a ninety-degree angle.
At the end of the fishing rod, a transparent, taut fishing line plunges straight into the lake and continues to move.
All the anglers around the fishing boat knew that Luther had caught a big fish and was fighting it to the death with the big fish in the lake.
Beside Luther, two of his companions grabbed his waist and pulled him backward with all their might.
But even with the combined efforts of the three men, they still couldn't pull the big fish out of the lake.
"I'm Luther, the future Water-type Pokémon Master! You've taken my bait, where do you think you're going? A fisherman never goes home empty-handed!"
With a loud shout, Luther swung his fishing rod upwards, and a red and white fish leaped out of the distant lake.
"Mmm!"
(🇧🇷)
What appeared before everyone was a goldfish king that was bigger than a child, half again as big as a normal goldfish king.
Clearly, even within the goldfish family, reaching this size is no easy feat; it truly deserves the title of "King."
Seeing this, even though fishing is supposed to be quiet, gasps of amazement still echoed within a hundred meters.
"What a huge goldfish king!"
"My goodness! This Goldeen must weigh at least fifty kilograms!"
"Fifty kilograms? More than that! Look at this size, I'd believe you even if you said it was sixty kilograms!"
"The king of goldfish!"
With his superior hearing, Luther took in all the exclamations of admiration from those around him.
Luther smugly touched his nose; his fishing skills were still pretty good.
Although I've been having a run of bad luck lately and haven't encountered any good things, it seems I still have a chance to compete for first place in fishing today.
Thinking about what happened a few days ago, Luther looked gloomy.
First, he suffered a setback in the school team training, so he took advantage of the school team's break to relax by the lake at Goldenrod University. As a result, for some reason, his two Pokémon clashed with a Swampert and an Espeon.
Then, for some unknown reason, it turned into a battle between himself and Swampert.
If he had defeated Swampert, that would have been fine, but during the battle, he could sense that Swampert's strength was far beyond what his Poliwag Swimmer could match.
Just when he was preparing to lose gracefully, the Swampert unleashed an "earthquake" on the entire arena and then vanished.
He was the only one left who was picked up and scolded by the school authorities, and then handed over to the school team coach, Arima, for another scolding.
He had only just finished the school team's punitive training yesterday.
Unfortunately, the giant swamp monster, the culprit behind the terrain destruction, has still not been found.
Just then, Luther saw that the fishing club he belonged to was holding a fishing competition.
You see, Luther is a skilled angler, so to relieve his recent depression and regain his prowess in his beloved hobby, Luther found two fishing buddies and formed a "fishing, fishing, fishing" team.
Luther and his teammates lived up to their reputation as fishing experts. Without any prior baiting, they caught three king carp, a giant tuna, and a giant crab in less than four hours after the competition started.
Just now, they successfully caught a goldfish king that weighs at least fifty kilograms.
As a famous lake in Goldenrod City, Lake Faruzan is inspected every year to ensure that no water-type Pokémon with excessive damage are present in the lake.
Therefore, Luther was almost certain that, even if the entire Far Mountain Lake were to be placed in the same area, it would be difficult to find a creature larger than this King Goldfish.
If we can tame this guy and catch two more decent-sized ones, finishing in the top three of this fishing competition will be a piece of cake.
Of course, all of this depends on first subduing this big guy.
Having been forcibly pulled from the lake by Luther and his two companions with fishing hooks, this king of goldfish now has a rather ungentle look in its eyes.
"Mmm!"
(?▂?)
The Goldfish King floated halfway on the water's surface, and as its mouth opened and closed, several "water ripples" attacked Luther's fishing boat.
Seeing this, Luther threw a Poké Ball in front of him:
"Swimmer!"
A robust mosquito coil swimmer suddenly appeared and easily shattered the Goldfish King's "Water Pulse" with just a pair of fists stronger than a boxer's.
Now that the fish have been caught, it's time for the Pokémon battles.
Luther shouted:
"Swimmer, charge forward and use Burst Punch!"
"Yoru!"
The mosquito coil swimmer crouched slightly, then leaped from the fishing boat and charged straight towards the goldfish king in the distance.
Its force was so great that it caused Luther's fishing boat to churn up huge waves, almost capsizing the entire vessel.
However, the advantages are also very obvious. With his superb muscle quality, Mosquito Coil Swimmer directly reached the King of Goldfish in one step.
"Yoru!"
The explosive punch slammed into the Goldfish King's face.
"Mmm!"
The goldfish king, who had roamed the Yuanshan Lake for many years and had almost never been caught, keenly realized the troublesome nature of this mosquito coil swimmer.
So it immediately used its trump card – "Super Corner Strike"!
However, just as the Goldfish King's "Super Horn Attack" was about to pierce the Mosquito Coil Swimmer's body.
The mosquito coil swimmer, still suspended in mid-air, twisted his body and unleashed a powerful "Explosive Fist," striking the spike on the Goldfish King's forehead.
Instantly, the ripples on the lake surface turned into a raging torrent, swallowing up both the mosquito coil swimmer and the goldfish king.
"how's it going?"
Did the Goldfish King sting the Mosquito Coil Swimmer?
"What huge waves!"
The battle between the two Pokémon was so fast that the anglers further away didn't even have time to react.
However, Luther, the owner of the Poliwag Swimmer, smiled confidently and tossed the empty Poké Ball he had prepared in that direction.
Just as the Poké Ball arrived, the waves that had risen two or three meters high subsided, revealing Goldeen's white belly and the composed Poliwag Swimmer.
The Poké Ball struck Goldeen squarely on the belly, and it was captured without any difficulty.
"Yoru!"
The mosquito coil swimmer stood in the water in a treading motion, defiantly raising his arms to receive exclamations and praises from all directions.
All of this was observed by a giant swamp monster not far away.
