Chapter 344: Fishing with Gramps!
Chapter 344: Fishing with Gramps!
"This makes no sense."
Jinghe turned to glance at the wriggling Golden Carp on the boat, among which were several Giant Tongue Clams and Horned Goldfish.
There's no need to overthink it; aside from the Golden Carp, all the catches were Sharon's and A Liu's.
"Top-tier golden fishing gear, premium bait, and a contract with the Golden Carp? There must be something wrong here."
For a moment, Jinghe couldn't pinpoint the issue.
At that moment, the top-ranked person on the leaderboard was none other than Water Lily.
It was said that she had caught two Cherry Blossom Fish, one Heart Fish, two Gem Starfish, and other high-scoring Water-type Pokemon, along with countless lower-scoring ones.
"Forget it, I'm tired."
Jinghe, unable to figure it out, simply laid down.
After all, there was no air force.
Moreover, the primary purpose of his visit today wasn't fishing.
"Masha?"
In the shadow of the fishing boat, Maxado crawled out, gazing at the lively Golden Carp, deep in thought.
Were they planning to make fish head soup with all these Golden Carp today?
Fish head soup wouldn't be bad.
But they'd need to find the biggest and fattest one.
Maxado's gaze swept across the Golden Carp.
Finally, it settled on the most corpulent one among them.
Slurp—
Maxado swallowed his saliva.
The Golden Carp also noticed Maxado's gaze.
Golden Carp: (_._)
Clap, clap, clap—
It splashed water with a Water Splash, spraying Maxado's face.
"Haha~"
Gramps pointed at Maxado and burst into laughter.
"Masha! (◣_◢)"
Maxado's eyes narrowed, and the Golden Carp suddenly shuddered.
The next second—
A dazzling white light burst forth.
Maxado's expression froze at the sight.
Jinghe and the others were also drawn to the white light.
"
"It evolved?" Sharon also showed surprise.
Jinghe instinctively looked towards Gramps.
"Haha! Haha!"
Gramps waved his hands repeatedly.
This time it has nothing to do with me. I didn't even have time to act, it was Masha! Gramps quickly "sold out" Masha.
Jinghe turned to look at the corner.
Maxado also snapped out of it, noticed his gaze, looked flustered, and turned to hide in the shadows.
Jinghe's mouth twitched at the sight.
How does he always run into these situations?
"Roar!!"
The white light continued to expand, and an angry roar suddenly sounded.
"It's a Tyranitar larger than usual!"
The host finally noticed Jinghe and his group.
A regular Tyranitar is about 6.5 meters long, but this one might have been larger due to its size as a Golden Carp, and its length now exceeded 7.5 meters after evolving.
Tyranitar is a high-scoring Pokemon, and with its size as an additional factor...
"Roar!! Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—"
Splash—
Naturally, Jinghe's small boat couldn't handle such a large Tyranitar, so Bite Shark tossed it into the sea.
The Tyranitar, resurfacing, looked a bit dazed.
It saw Bite Shark with a disdainful expression and Gramps with a mischievous smile, clenching his fists.
This seemed...not quite what it had expected?
"Haha~~"
I'm glad you evolved, but I didn't like your attitude just now.
Gramps said, putting on his swimming goggles and diving in before Bite Shark could.
Bite Shark on the boat shrugged; he hadn't intended to compete with Gramps anyway.
I, a mighty Dragon, would never swim.
But soon after Gramps dived, before he even got close to the Tyranitar, he emerged from the water and looked at Jinghe with a delighted expression.
"Haha!!"
What a huge Fang Fish!
He gestured with his hands and puffed out his cheeks, exaggerating his excitement.
Fang Fish? Jinghe was taken aback.
How big could it be?
"Haha!"
Gramps pointed at the Tyranitar.
Bigger than that guy!
A Fang Fish larger than a 7.5-meter-long Tyranitar? Are you sure it's not Groudon? Jinghe glanced at Water Lily's direction; the calm waters suggested otherwise.
Or perhaps it was the Rocket Team trio's submarine? But weren't they still filming?
And with their aesthetic preferences, a Fang Fish wouldn't be their choice; a Golden Carp or Tyranitar would be more likely.
Suddenly, Jinghe took out his phone and called Lila.
"Professor Jinghe?" Lila's voice came through.
"Lila, do we have surveillance underwater?" Jinghe asked.
"Underwater?" Lila was taken aback.
From her tone, Jinghe knew the International Police Department wasn't monitoring underwater; they were focused on the boats on the surface.
"What's wrong?"
Sharon, noticing Jinghe's tone and expression change, asked.
"It seems...we've found the Pokemon Hunter Gang." Jinghe said gravely.
"Pokemon Hunter?"
Sharon was startled, then her expression gradually turned serious.
"Gramps!" Jinghe called out.
"Haha?"
Gramps floated on the water's surface.
"See if you can expose them!"
Hearing this, Gramps looked at the dazed Tyranitar, smirked, and transformed into a cloud of black mist. He appeared on the Tyranitar's head and patted its horn.
Be a good boy and carry me down, or else...
"Roar!!!"
The Tyranitar roared, feeling the weight on its head, about to get angry.
Sizzle—
A bluish-purple lightning bolt danced in Gramps' hand and in front of its eyes.
Gramps' sinister smile was reflected in its eyes, making him look particularly eerie amidst the intertwining lightning.
"Or else, you'll be grilled!"
"Roar!!"
Mighty Carploon's expression turned stern, indicating that it was responsible for capturing every Pokemon belonging to the Pokemon Hunter.
In an instant, it flipped over and swam towards the direction pointed out by Gramps, while Gramps, standing on Mighty Carploon's head, also performed a Wind-Riding Ghostly Rush!
"Metagross, Lapras, go help them!"
Sharon threw out two Poke Balls.
The two Pokemon rushed towards Gramps and Mighty Carploon.
At the same time, in the earpieces of the International Police Department colleagues present, Lila's voice was heard.
"Attention all personnel, the target gang has been spotted. Keep a close eye on Gramps' movements! Jinghe will expose them!"
The handsome guy rowing the small boat had a solemn expression.
As expected, the target might have passed by underwater silently.
He had already suspected this, but with his abilities, he couldn't conduct such an inspection. He couldn't help but look at the Delinquent Frog sitting at the bow of the boat.
"Hngga!!" Gramps shouted.
Fishing rod!
The Wind-Riding Ghostly Rush sped past not far from them.
Delinquent Frog stood up, grabbed the fishing rod from the handsome guy's hand, and, to his astonishment, threw it towards Gramps.
Then, they saw Gramps grinning maliciously as he waved the fishing rod and gave it a powerful swing! The hook accurately caught the giant Fangtooth.
"Hngga!!"
With Gramps' loud shout, the giant Fangtooth slowly floated towards the water's surface.
The Pokemon Hunter realized that they had been exposed.
Inside the massive Fangtooth submarine, the Pokemon Hunter boss had a smug look on his face, "Who cares what it is, let's get out of here!"
"Full speed ahead!"
The loud noise inevitably caught the attention of the competition organizers.
"It's... it's a super-gigantic Fangtooth!!"
"A contestant is struggling with this incredibly huge Fangtooth. The contestant is..."
When the host saw Mighty Carploon following behind and Gramps standing on its back holding a fishing rod, he looked stunned.
"The contestant fishing is... Gramps!"
Hua!!
Such a loud noise, how big must this Fangtooth be?
Not far behind Gramps, who was riding the wind, was Jinghe, crouching on the back of Swift Dragon.
And Sharon, half-squatting on the back of Bite Shark, her golden hair blowing in the wind, looking quite heroic.
There was also A Liu, surfing on a Mothim.
"Don't cause too much of a commotion, let's leave the fishing tournament area first."
Jinghe hugged Swift Dragon and said, "Understood!"
"Yes, sir!"
The earpieces echoed with the unified response from the International Police Department colleagues.
"Boss, it seems like something has hooked us like fish, and we can't dive again!"
Inside the submarine, the Pokemon Hunters also realized that the situation seemed to be getting a little strange.
"Damn it!" The hunter boss growled, "Let them taste our power, Electric Net!"
A mechanism on the back of the giant Fangtooth submarine opened, extending a cannon.
Bang!!
With a loud bang, a huge net made entirely of golden electric arcs shot out, enveloping Jinghe, Sharon, and Gramps.
They were now far away from the center of the competition area.
Jinghe and Sharon exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts.
Jinghe took a deep breath and clenched his teeth.
He leaped off Swift Dragon's back.
Pokemon Hunters, I, Jinghe, will remember this!
Sharon also jumped off Bite Shark's back, just like Jinghe.
Both of them spoke almost simultaneously.
"Swift Dragon (Bite Shark), Dragon Dive!!"
"Woof!!"
"Roar!!"
Swift Dragon and Bite Shark were covered in thick blue-purple dragon cloaks, resembling two giant dragons descending from the sky, dragging long streams of air as they slammed into the Fangtooth submarine!
The huge electric net in front of them was as flimsy as paper, offering no resistance.
Boom!!
A massive roar echoed from the sea.
As Jinghe fell, he threw out another Poke Ball.
Ice Nine-Tails landed directly on the water's surface.
Crackle-crackle-crackle—
Thick layers of ice spread out from it, quickly creating an ice platform on the sea.
"Woof~~"
At the same time, Ice Nine-Tails' eyes glowed with psychic power, catching Jinghe and Sharon as they fell.
Thud—
Standing on the ice, Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" Sharon asked.
Jinghe shook his head.
He looked at the stopped Fangtooth submarine, and from the open cabin, several vicious Pokemon Hunters emerged, gnashing their teeth.
Jinghe's expression turned solemn, and he patted Ice Nine-Tails' head, whispering, "Not one will be spared, freeze them all!"
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails' eyes narrowed, and with a loud howl, its nine tails moved, and it began running at an incredible speed on the water's surface.
Wherever it ran, it left a long ice path for Jinghe and Sharon to walk on.
"Damn it!!"
Two Pokemon Hunters, wearing special gear, walked towards Jinghe and Sharon without hesitation and raised their Electric Net Guns.
"Woof—"
Suddenly, a white figure darted between them.
Their expressions froze instantly.
They turned into two ice sculptures.
