Chapter 342: The Fishing God
Chapter 342: The Fishing God
Sharon and Wusong went to the Aquapolis Library to gather information.
Jinghe and Daye, both interested in the upcoming Fishing Tournament, had some preparations to make, such as acquiring fishing rods and bait.
Of course.
Jinghe also remembered his important task of combating Pokemon Hunters.
As for Daye,
Being a specialist in Fire-type Pokemon, he had little interest in fishing and even less in searching for information at the library.
So, upon arriving at Aquapolis City Center, he wandered off on his own, presumably in search of a Trainer to battle.
A coffee shop in the heart of Aquapolis City.
This cafe was quite renowned throughout the Sinnoh Region, especially for its famous Bidoof cakes.
In a corner of the cafe,
Jinghe sat across from Lila, who was dressed in a sleek black suit.
Lila handed over some information about the target gang to Jinghe.
"The leader of this group is a Pokemon Hunter nicknamed 'Water Tyrant,' a wanted criminal by the League and our primary target for this operation," Lila explained as she passed a photo to Jinghe.
The photo depicted a middle-aged man with a fierce expression, a cross-shaped scar on his face, and dark skin.
"They know how to choose their timing. During the Aquapolis Fishing Tournament, boats will be allowed to go out to sea, and they might very well blend in among the participants."
After a brief pause, Lila continued,
"So, I plan to have a few colleagues infiltrate this Fishing Tournament."
Hearing this, Jinghe coughed and finally spoke up.
"In that case, count me in as well."
"You're joining the tournament, Teacher Jinghe? That's unexpected. Are you a fishing expert?" Lila asked, surprised.
An expert?
"Well, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but at most, I'm just a passing fisherman," Jinghe said, slightly tilting his head.
In any case,
A fisherman never goes without a rod!
"I understand," Lila nodded.
With Teacher Jinghe overseeing the Fishing Tournament, those Pokemon Hunters wouldn't be able to escape through the competition.
"Exactly. If I'm going to participate in the tournament, there are some things the department can help with," Jinghe added.
Upon hearing this, Lila's expression turned serious.
"Whatever it is, if it's within our capabilities, the department will provide full support!"
As long as it didn't involve pulling in a hundred people, it was fine.
The International Police Department was always short on personnel.
"Um, can I borrow a fishing rod?" Jinghe asked.
Lila: "?"
"And some bait, preferably the good stuff," Jinghe added.
So, a fisherman without a rod?
"I understand. The handsome guy should have brought a fishing rod; I'll get it for you."
Even the Gold Medal temp worker, the handsome guy, is here? This task must be important to the International Police Headquarters.
After a brief chat, Lila left to attend to other matters.
Meanwhile, Jinghe took the little ones to try the cafe's signature Bidoof cake.
"Hngga~!"
Gramps rolled his tongue, devouring the Bidoof cake on his plate.
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails also gobbled one up, and it seemed to taste quite delicious.
"It does taste good," Jinghe agreed after taking a bite.
"Later, we'll bring some back for Servine. With Servine's cooking skills, she might even be able to 'replicate' it."
After eating for a while, a commotion could be heard from outside.
"Baltoy!"
Hmm? Hearing the noise, Jinghe instinctively looked out the window.
He saw a Baltoy, looking panicked, running through the crowd. Its face was filled with fear, and it occasionally blew bubbles from its nose, enveloping passersby and their Pokemon.
"Baltoy, the Clay Doll Pokemon, is a Water-type Pokemon. To create a large ball, it tirelessly practices its Lotad moves over and over again!"
The Rotom Pokedex immediately provided an introduction as it emerged from the cake.
This was Baltoy, one of the Alola Region's Starter Pokemon, whose final evolution, Kyurem, is renowned for having one of the most beautiful voices in the entire Pokemon world.
"Hngga~~"
Gramps scratched his head.
This little guy seemed really scared.
Coincidentally, the panicked Baltoy was running towards the cafe.
"Ninetales," Jinghe called out softly, standing up and approaching the fleeing Baltoy.
"Huh?"
The panicked Baltoy suddenly saw Jinghe in front of him, along with Ice Nine-Tails and Gramps. Its expression grew even more fearful, and it couldn't help but blow bubbles from its nose again.
At that moment, a Pokedex entry about this Baltoy appeared in Jinghe's vision.
With a quick scan, Jinghe understood the reason for its panic.
It had been bullied by a group of nasty people in the past. Although it was eventually rescued, it still carried psychological scars and was reluctant to trust any Trainer, fearing humans.
Jinghe sighed softly.
Before the bubbles blown by Baltoy could even reach Jinghe, Gramps reached out and caught them.
"Hngga?"
The purple-skinned chubby Pokemon played with the bubbles, finding them quite entertaining.
"Huh? Huh?"
Baltoy looked a bit dazed.
"Baltoy," Jinghe said, crouching down and looking at it with a gentle smile.
A wave of aura, invisible to the eye, was released. The benevolent aura gradually calmed Baltoy's panic.
"Baltoy!"
Water Lotus kept pushing through the crowd, frantically searching for Baltoy's figure.
This Baltoy was one she had recently rescued from the hands of the Skull Gang, but due to its traumatic experiences, it didn't trust her easily.
This time, Ma Ao mentioned wanting to taste the delicious Bidoof, and Water Lotus thought of letting Baltoy have a taste as well.
Suddenly, a group of people approached them, causing Baltoy to panic and start running around in a frenzy.
"Baltoy!"
Ma Ao also cupped her hands like a megaphone, calling out for Baltoy.
As Water Lotus pushed through the crowd again, she finally found Baltoy.
But when she saw Baltoy's appearance, she froze in surprise.
Ma Ao pushed her way through as well and was equally stunned.
They saw that Baltoy, who had been frantically blowing bubbles a moment ago, was now shyly accepting a Bidoof from a handsome young man with a gentle smile.
"Take your time, there's more," the young man said with a warm voice, gently patting Baltoy's head.
"Squeak!"
The delicious Bidoof made Baltoy clap excitedly, its eyes curving into a crescent shape.
"This is..." Ma Ao was in complete shock.
It was the first time she had seen Baltoy acting so happy in front of a stranger.
Forget about her; even as Baltoy's Trainer, Water Lotus had never seen this before.
At that moment, Baltoy noticed Water Lotus and Ma Ao approaching, and it looked at them with a bit of fear, but it still came forward.
"Baltoy!" Water Lotus hugged Baltoy tightly, finally feeling relieved.
"Squeak!"
Seeing that the excitement was over, the people around them slowly dispersed.
"Are you...Jinghe?" Ma Ao rubbed her eyes, recognizing the young man.
In fact, before Ma Ao recognized Jinghe, Jinghe had already recognized them.
Weren't they Little Smart's classmates at the Alola Pokemon Academy?
They were also the future captains of the Alola Island Pilgrimage, Water Lotus, the Water Type, and Ma Ao, the Grass Type.
Jinghe's impression of Water Lotus was undoubtedly deep.
Because of her, the value of Goldeen had plummeted.
But also because of her, a world where Groudon was injured alone was prevented.
Since they were arch-rivals, they had to keep things fair.
A Groudon that couldn't fly, a Garchomp that was caught, the ultimate Fishing God!
Jinghe's impression of Ma Ao was also significant, as her family owned a restaurant, and Ma Ao's cooking skills were excellent.
However, to try new recipes, Ma Ao would sometimes add bizarre ingredients to her dishes, like 10,000 Volts.
A true master of dark cuisine.
They were all so talented.
The Alola Pokemon Academy was filled with hidden gems.
"Jinghe?"
After hearing Ma Ao's surprised voice, Water Lotus looked at Jinghe again and recognized him.
Jinghe smiled and asked, "You know me?"
Both of them nodded.
The enthusiastic and outgoing Ma Ao further explained, "Professor Kukui often shows us your battle videos, Jinghe, as teaching materials to explain the details of Pokemon battles."
"Professor Kukui," Jinghe nodded.
He was the Royal Masked Man who had initially invited Jinghe to "teach" in the Alola region, could be a teaching aid for these young students.
But Jinghe's expression was slightly odd.
Using his battle videos as teaching materials to explain battles to these kids...was that really okay?
"Th-thank you, Jinghe!" Water Lotus finally remembered to thank Jinghe for helping to calm Baltoy.
Compared to the enthusiastic Ma Ao, Water Lotus was a shy and quiet girl.
As friends, they complemented each other well and made up for each other's shortcomings.
"Since that's the case, let me treat you to some Bidoof," Jinghe said.
"Yay!" Ma Ao shouted excitedly.
At the same time, Jinghe wanted to talk about Baltoy's situation and instruct Water Lotus on what to do next.
"Th-thank you!"
After listening to Jinghe's advice, Water Lotus thanked him again.
Baltoy's problem wasn't difficult to handle, but the psychological trauma from being bullied for a long time would require a more extended period to heal.
As a Pokemon Psychologist, this was Jinghe's area of expertise.
"Roar~"
Ice Nine-Tails curled its tail, offering a piece of Bidoof to Baltoy.
"Squeak, squeak."
Baltoy instinctively opened its mouth, looking at the beautiful and lively Ice Nine-Tails, and it couldn't help but show admiration and adoration.
"Roar~" Ice Nine-Tails smiled gently, reaching out to pat Baltoy's head.
"Squeak~" Baltoy's cheeks turned slightly red.
At the same time.
"So, you're here to participate in the Fishing Tournament," Jinghe realized after hearing Ma Ao's explanation.
Now it made sense why they had come all the way from the Alola region to Sinnoh.
"Yes, Jinghe, Water Lotus is a fishing expert," Ma Ao patted Water Lotus's shoulder and smiled.
Jinghe naturally believed this.
Water Lotus rubbed her clothes shyly and stammered, "In, in catching Lugia, I, I do have some experience, and the bait can be used as a fishing rod."
