Chapter 936 Outdoor Fishing! Shui Lian's Dream
"Alola, everyone!" After today's class, Xiaozhi and Kukuibo came to the classroom together and announced to everyone: "Tomorrow we have an extracurricular practice class. The theme is to get close to the ocean Pokémon. Then we will take everyone out to sea to fish!"
After hearing Xiaozhi's words, the classroom suddenly became lively!
"Fishing!" Shui Lian's eyes lit up when she heard that. This girl, like Xiaoxia, is a trainer who loves water-type Pokémon and is especially good at fishing.
When Xiaozhi first met her in Alola, she was fishing on the beach on a Dragonite!
"That's right, but to be honest, my fishing skills aren't that great!" Xiaozhi admitted. After all, unless he cheated with the power of the sea, he wouldn't be able to catch any Pokémon. "So, Professor Kukui and I decided to have Shui Lian be our special instructor!"
"Ah?! Yes! I will try my best!" Shui Lian got nervous instinctively after being called, but still nodded seriously in response.
"If we go fishing, we will definitely come into contact with Pokémon, right?" Mamane looked at Liliae with some concern. "Liliae, are you really okay by then?"
"No problem at all!" Liliae nodded vigorously with a confident smile on her face.
"For this day, I have even prepared my secret weapon!" She clenched her fists tightly and said with high morale.
Hearing Lilia's firm answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their belief that she could overcome the difficulties. Shui Lian walked up to Lilia holding the ball sea lion and encouraged her, "That's no problem!"
However, at this moment, the ball sea lion suddenly jumped out of Shuilian's arms and jumped into Liliae's arms at lightning speed.
"Ah!!!" Liliae was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She widened her eyes and looked at the ball-shaped sea lion in her arms in horror. Her lips trembled slightly and she let out a scream.
"Ah! Ball-Ball Sea Lion, don't run around!" Shui Lian was also panicked. She hurriedly took the Ball-Ball Sea Lion off Liliae, and then apologized to it repeatedly.
Xiaozhi sighed helplessly, and then gave his final instructions, "Then see you tomorrow, everyone. Remember to bring your fishing rod!"
----------
"Alora!"
Finally, it was time for the long-awaited outdoor practice class. Xiaozhi and a group of people happily came to the beach area of Haole City. The riding Pokémon prepared by Professor Kukui had been waiting here for a long time.
In addition to the dragon, there are two huge bellowing whales. Looking at their broad backs, I think they must be very stable to sit on.
However, the most eye-catching person was Liliae. She was wearing a special isolation suit, and she looked like a bloated balloon, wrapped tightly.
"Wow, so this is Liliae's secret weapon, so cool!" Mamane, a tech geek, couldn't help but exclaimed.
Liliae wore this strange isolation suit, tightly grasped the fishing rod in her hand, and said with full of fighting spirit: "Whether it's fishing or riding a Pokémon, I'm ready!"
Seeing Liliae so confident, Dr. Kukui showed a satisfied smile. At this time, Xiaozhi turned his head to look at Shuilian beside him and said with a smile: "Okay, Shuilian, from now on, you are our teacher!"
Maybe because it was her first time as a teacher, Shui Lian seemed a little nervous. Her movements became stiff, and she slowly walked to Xiaozhi and Kukui. She took a deep breath and asked softly, "Um... did everyone bring a fishing rod?"
Hearing this question, everyone raised their fishing rods and showed them to Shuilian. Among them, Mamane proudly introduced the fishing rod he brought to everyone and praised it.
"Look, my fishing rod has been carefully modified! It will never break even if you catch a huge king whale, and it is also super elastic! What's more amazing is that it is equipped with a super reel that can rotate beautifully 300 times..."
"This is the dream fishing rod that has all the functions, the 'Ultimate DX Master 02'!"
I have to say, as a tech geek, Mamane’s fishing rod design is unique, so maybe he and Hitron will get along well!
Since they decided to go fishing, Xiaozhi asked Hoopa to fish his Dragonite out of the sea without hesitation, and prepared to take it with him to swim in the sea of Alola. After all, Xiaozhi no longer had high expectations for fishing, and he was more looking forward to enjoying this wonderful time.
They rode on the Dragonite and the Roaring Whale, heading in the direction indicated by Shui Lian, and soon arrived at the destination. This was the place where Xiaozhi and Shui Lian first met, and it was also the place where Shui Lian often came to fish alone.
At this moment, Shui Lian has gradually entered the state. She smiled and explained to everyone: "This is our fishing spot today. Some marine Pokémon only live in shallow waters, while others only live in deep seas. I chose this place because it is the intersection of these two areas, and it is easier to catch different kinds of Pokémon."
After saying this, Shui Lian turned her gaze to the sea and began to prepare her fishing gear. However, at this moment, she suddenly said, "Maybe we can catch Kyogre here!" This sentence surprised everyone.
"That's absolutely impossible, Shuilian, don't joke with us!" Mao was the first to react and said he didn't believe it at all. After all, Kyogre is a legendary Pokémon, how could he be caught so easily?
"Okay, everyone, spread out and start fishing!" Xiaozhi stood on the back of his dragon and shouted to everyone. Everyone responded in unison, then each found their favorite position and threw the bait into the sea.
For a moment, ripples appeared on the sea, as if foreshadowing that a wonderful fishing trip was about to begin.
When Pikachu saw that everyone else had started fishing, he curiously put his tail into the sea. But don’t underestimate his tail, his record is even more impressive than Ash’s!
At the same time, Mamane was different. He did not put the bait into the water like others, but held the fishing rod high up and stared at the screen equipped on the rod intently, as if studying something.
"The trick to fishing is that once you notice the float moving, you must seize the opportunity and reel in the fishing line in one go!" Shui Lian shared her experience with everyone, her tone firm and confident.
However, even as she spoke, her float suddenly responded, and she immediately stood up and reeled in the fishing line rhythmically with practiced and graceful movements.
As the fishing line was reeled in, a Nanny Mambo jumped out of the water. Shui Lian showed a satisfied smile, but she did not tame the Nanny Mambo. Instead, she took out a piece of Pokémon food from her pocket and handed it to it. Nanny Mambo happily accepted the food and gently rubbed Shui Lian's hand with his head to show his friendliness.
"After you catch a Pokémon, feed it food, and then make physical contact after the relationship becomes better!" Shui Lian explained.
Doing this can help you better understand the habits and needs of Pokémon. This is the content of today’s outdoor practical class, close contact with marine Pokémon!
Soon, she caught various water Pokémon such as sun coral, heart fish, fluorescent fish, etc., and they gathered in a circle in front of her to be fed. These water Pokémon swam happily around her, as if they were interacting with her.
"It's really worry-free to have such a helper!" Xiaozhi leaned on the back of Dragonite, enjoying the sunshine on the sea with Eevee and Rowlet. He squinted his eyes, feeling the breeze blowing, and felt particularly comfortable.
Soon it was time for a break, and everyone had gained something. Even Pikachu caught a few Magikarp. The MVP of this fishing trip was almost snatched away by Lillie, after all, she caught a Milotic. Unfortunately, it got off the hook in the end and she didn't catch it!
Of course, except for Kachi, who was incompatible with him, and Mamane, who didn't even swing the club, the other two got nothing.
On this temporary resting island on the beach, Liliae finally dared to take off the heavy hood. "Huh~ I'm really exhausted~" She let out a long sigh and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
During the free break, everyone dispersed and played their own games, except Shui Lian and the ball sea lion, who were still doing bubble blowing training.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi walked over and asked curiously, "You guys seem to be obsessed with blowing bubbles?"
"Yes!" Shui Lian nodded heavily, with a look of yearning on her pretty face and a gleam in her eyes. She said frankly, "I have always had a dream, which is to enter a super large water balloon, travel all the way to the depths of the ocean, and explore the mysteries of the ocean!"
"Maybe during the journey, I can meet some unknown or never-before-seen Pokémon!" Shui Lian became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had already seen the journey full of mystery and surprises.
Xiaozhi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Shuilian's dream was so special. But his power of the sea, isn't that the power that can realize this dream? So he smiled and encouraged: "I believe in you, your dream will definitely come true!"
"Thank you!" Shui Lian looked at Xiaozhi gratefully, then turned to the ball sea lion and said seriously, "Be slower this time."
"Ball~Ball~" the sea lion responded happily, and then began to concentrate. Its nose moved slightly, and a small water balloon emerged. However, this time it did not stop, but continued to work hard to make the water balloon continue to grow.
Rotom beside Xiaozhi immediately began to measure in surprise, "Unbelievable, this expansion rate is 150% of the usual rate, Lotom!"
But even so, he didn't stop, "200%...250%...300% Loto!"
This huge water balloon immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they gathered around to watch. Shui Lian was gradually stunned, "This is the first time that the sea lion has blown up a water balloon so big!"
Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Because the ball sea lion is responding to your feelings and wants to help you realize your dream!"
As soon as the words fell, the sea lion finally reached its limit, and the huge water balloon slowly flew into the air.
However, when the water balloon just flew over everyone's heads, it suddenly became unstable. With a bang, it exploded instantly, and a stream of water splashed towards everyone.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi activated the power of the ocean and waved his hand lightly, and the falling water instantly floated into the sea.
Xiaozhi said to Shuilian, "It seems that success is not far away. Just practice more!"
"Yeah!" Shui Lian nodded excitedly.
To be continued…
