Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 618 Fishing Routine, Lala Algae!

He didn't even manage to knock him down; that blond kid's got some skill... The referee's smile faded, and he said calmly:

"Pass, next."

Following closely behind, Sanpei again dispatched Greninja.

"Iai hack!"

The Greninja gathers its short blades of water and assumes a charging stance.

The referee on the other side simply said something indifferent.

"Break the rocks!"

Swampert withdrew its Frozen Fist and transformed its right hand into a sharp blade, slashing at Greninja's Water Blade.

boom!

A few seconds later, both retreated at the same time, resulting in a draw.

Ah Xun pointed at Sanping and said with dissatisfaction, "Hey uncle, why is he Rock Smasher and I'm Ice Fist? This doesn't make sense."

The referee glanced at him sideways: "Didn't you say it yourself? Your Bricaron defense is invincible. I'll give it a try for you."

"And that's about it."

"My darn thing!"

Ah Xun instantly lost his temper and was about to have a three-hundred-round battle with the referee when Xiao Yun hurriedly reached out and pulled him back.

"No, no, it's just a small test. Calm down."

The referee ignored the irritated blond guy and continued working as usual.

"Next person."

Xiaoyun had no choice but to temporarily release the little yellow-haired boy and take out a Poké Ball from her pocket.

"Ibrahimovic, it's your turn to enter the game."

"Buyi."

After entering the fray, Eevee tilted its head as it looked at Swampert, its fluffy tail swaying gently.

The referee glanced at Eevee, didn't think much of it, and ordered Swampert: "Swampert, Rock Smash!"

"Eevee, use Iron Tail!"

Swampert gathered its hand blades again and slashed at Eevee.

Eevee also leaped into the air, its fluffy tail instantly covered with a metallic sheen, and charged towards Swampert's hand chop.

Just as the two Pokémon, one big and one small, were about to collide, Eevee suddenly twitched its brow.

Feature – Danger Forecasting.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ibrahimovic reacted almost entirely instinctively.

Eevee pushed off backward, deftly dodging Swampert's chop.

Before Swampert could react, Eevee twisted its body in mid-air, its metallic tail lashing out at Swampert's cheek.

boom! !

Swampert, KO!

"You, you cheated!"

The referee's eyes widened.

A head-on confrontation, and yet he's jumping around.

Xiaoyun hadn't expected Ibu to pull this stunt, and replied sheepishly:

"Well... we didn't say we couldn't dodge, right?"

Ah Xun immediately chimed in, "Yeah, uncle, isn't it normal to dodge attacks in battle?"

"If you can't avoid it, think more about whether it's your own problem and whether you've tried your best."

"..."

The referee's lips twitched. This blond kid's words were really infuriating.

However, the rules don't actually say you can't dodge; you just have to accept your fate.

"Okay, next one."

Finally, it was Xiaoguang's turn. She spoke softly and smiled sweetly at the referee: "Uncle Referee, I will do my best. Please give me your guidance."

"Ah."

The referee's expression softened; the little girl really knows how to talk.

However, the next second, when he saw the red Gyarados, his expression froze instantly.

He swallowed hard, then pretended to be calm and said:

"Um...girl, this assessment is just a formality, you don't need to take it so seriously, you can just pass it directly!"

"Oh? Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

Xiao Guang blinked, looking completely harmless.

"Not good? Who said that? That's great, you can just pass it directly."

The referee hurriedly waved his hand, "Are you crazy to hit a Gyarados?"

With such a low monthly salary, why risk your life?

"But...."

"You can just let it go, otherwise I'm going home."

Xiao Guang wanted to say something more, but the referee interrupted her, not giving her a chance to speak.

"Alright then, thank you, uncle."

Seeing that the referee was so insistent, Xiao Guang obediently nodded and recalled his Gyarados.

As he turned to leave, Ah Xun deliberately looked back and raised an eyebrow at the referee.

"Uncle, your Swampert... is just so-so."

"........."

The referee's lips twitched again.

You son of a bitch, get back here!

.......

"Azure Bay is rich in seaweed and seagrass. Loto suggests fishing in areas with reefs, as this will greatly increase your chances of encountering Lala algae and poisonous algae dragons."

"There are even poisonous algae dragons?!"

Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised.

Although the Poisonous Algae Dragon looks like a seahorse, it is a genuine Dragon-type Pokémon and is definitely a rare find when fishing.

If I can catch a Lala Algae or a Poison Algae Dragon, then this fishing trip will have been worthwhile.

Soon, the four of them found two natural rock platforms less than half a meter apart in the shallows.

Although the reef isn't very big, it's still big enough for two people to sit on it.

The surface of the reef was smoothed by the seawater, just large enough for two people to sit side by side.

Xiaoyun deftly pulled out two folding stools, handed one to Xiaoguang first, and then sat down next to him.

Sanping and Axun didn't stand on ceremony and simply sat cross-legged on the rocks.

"This is a great location!"

Xiaoyun raised her hand to block the sunlight and found that she was facing away from the sun, so she didn't even need a sun hat.

"It won't get sunburned, and the wind is gentle, so the fish will definitely want to come."

"To catch good Pokémon, you naturally need to choose a better fishing spot."

As Xiaoyun spoke, she took out a silver-blue fishing rod from her backpack. The rod was decorated with fluorescent patterns and a miniature detector was embedded at the top.

This was a high-end fishing rod that he had commissioned from Citron at a great price, all for today.

Even if you can't catch any seaweed, at least you can't catch only carp.

Unlike Xiaoyun, Xiaoguang didn't use any fancy fishing rods. He simply took out an ordinary fishing rod, cast it into the sea, and waited quietly for the fish to bite.

Good luck is a virtue.

They chose a location far from the crowds, but still in a calm, near-shore area.

The sea was calm and the water was so clear that you could see the seaweed swaying underwater, and occasionally small fish would dart by.

About ten minutes later, the detector at the tip of Xiaoyun's fishing rod suddenly lit up with a green light, and a clear pulling sensation was felt on the rod.

"Wow, it really has to be high-tech! They took the bait so quickly!"

Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up and suddenly lifted the fishing rod.

Thump!

Water splashed everywhere, and a Pokémon with a bright blue body leaped out of the water. It had transparent agate-like organs on both sides of its head, and two gray tentacles were still waving.

"Agate jellyfish?"

Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, then grinned.

Although it's not a rare Pokémon, it's still better than Magikarp.

I'm so touched! I've finally escaped the fate of being a Muggle Magikarp specialist!

"Xiaoyun, you're so fast! You caught a Pokémon so quickly!"

Xiao Guang put down his fishing rod and complimented him.

Xiaoyun calmly said, "A real man isn't about being fast, he's about being efficient."

Xiao Guang immediately opened his eyes wide in agreement, his tone filled with exaggerated amazement: "Wow, Xiao Yun, you're so efficient! Maybe the next one will be Lala algae!"

"Damn it, Xiaoyun has already caught one! Fishing Rod Bro, give us some feedback!"

Ah Xun was unhappy and patted his fishing rod.

"If you don't live up to expectations, fishing rod guy, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Then, in the next second, the fishing rod suddenly sank.

Ah Xun's eyes lit up instantly.

"I'm coming."

He pulled the fishing rod up, but when he lifted it out of the water, the hook was empty.

“It’s my fishing rod.”

Sanping's voice rang out from the side. Ah Xun turned his head and saw that a reddish-brown crab was hanging on Sanping's fishing rod.

Two large pincers gripped the fishing line tightly, their shells still covered in sea mud.

You actually caught something! Do you even know how to fish?

Grandpa Ah Xun was even more unhappy.

"A giant crab from the Kanto region? It looks a bit underdeveloped."

Sanping looked at the crabs he had caught.

These words seemed to hit a nerve with the giant crab, which immediately used the momentum of its leap to raise its large pincers and clamp them down on Sanping's nose.

However, Sanpei was a dignified genin, and easily dodged with a sideways head movement.

The giant crab then flipped itself over and jumped into the sea, leaving behind only a bitten fishing line.

"Hahaha...."

Ah Xun watched with amusement, and soon, his fishing rod also started to move.

Ah Xun pulled hard, and a dark green fish leaped out of the water.

Black markings extend from the head to the tail fin, and three black spots next to the pectoral fins are particularly noticeable.

The Savage Bass, mainly found in the Unova region, is similar to Magikarp but is extremely aggressive.

Before Ah Xun could react, the Savage Bass suddenly crashed into his arms.

"puff!"

The impact almost made Ah Xun vomit up his dinner from the night before. If Sanping hadn't grabbed him, he would have fallen off the rocks.

By the time he regained his footing, the savage bass had already twisted its body and jumped back into the sea, leaving only a chestful of seawater behind.

"It seems the person who registered us was right; the Pokémon here are all very aggressive."

Seeing the two in such a sorry state, Hikari quickly released Piplup from his Poké Ball.

"Boplander, my safety depends on you. If any Pokémon attack me, you have to protect me."

"Boga!"

The little penguin immediately puffed out its chest and nodded firmly.

It's no big deal.

Since she could only catch one Pokémon this time, Xiaoyun put the jellyfish back into the sea and started casting her fishing rod again.

It has to be said that the Citron fishing rod is really powerful. Not long after Xiaoyun sat down, the detector lit up green again, and the pulling sensation on the rod was even stronger than last time.

"This one's definitely going to be big!"

Xiaoyun gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and slowly adjusted her posture.

Pfft!

A colorful sea serpent suddenly leaped out of the water; its slender blue body was covered with yellow spots, and its gaping mouth was full of sharp fangs.

Deep-sea Pokémon, Skarner!

"The Hoenn hunting fish?"

Xiao Yun frowned. He remembered the information about this Pokémon. Rotom had said that the Seraphim was irritable and would attack humans on its own initiative.

Sure enough, as soon as the spotted fish was pulled up, it twisted its body and tried to bite Xiaoyun's leg.

"Eevee, use Iron Tail!"

Xiaoyun immediately threw out a Poké Ball, and Eevee instantly jumped out, its fluffy tail gleaming with a silvery-white light.

With a loud bang, the iron tail slammed into the spotted fish.

The spotted fish, in pain, immediately turned and jumped into the sea, disappearing into the blue waves.

In the next hour or so, Xiaoyun's fishing rod caught nearly ten more fish, but the catches were mostly jellyfish, wild bass, and occasionally a few jumping carp.

"At least give me a pistol shrimp with an iron arm."

Xiaoyun gripped the fishing rod listlessly.

Even if it's not Lalamode, a powerful Water-type Pokémon would be fine...

Xiaoyun was gazing at the sea and sighing when Xiaoguang's slightly confused voice suddenly came from behind her:

Did I just fish out a bunch of seaweed?

Xiao Guang looked at the pile of brown seaweed hanging on her fishing rod with a mix of amusement and exasperation. At first, she thought she had encountered some rare Pokémon, but it was only by pulling it up together with Piplup that she managed to get it aboard.

Just as Xiaoguang was removing the seaweed from the fishing rod, the clump of seaweed moved slightly.

Xiao Guang froze instantly, then threw the fishing rod aside and exclaimed in surprise.

"what!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Xiaoyun immediately ran to Xiaoguang's side and looked in the direction she was pointing.

Xiao Guang pointed to the seaweed on the fishing rod: "That...that seaweed is moving! It really moved just now!"

"The grass can still move?"

Xiaoyun looked puzzled and squatted down to carefully part the seaweed.

As the layers of grass were parted, a small seahorse, brownish in color with a purple face and belly, appeared before the two.

"Drip."

"Lalatella, a grass-like Pokémon."

Attributes: Water + Poison

"Description: It feeds primarily on rotting seaweed and can disguise itself by mimicking the shape of seaweed. When it encounters Pokémon that come to eat its seaweed, it will spray poison to attack them."

"It's Lala algae, Hikari, you should tame it."

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. If nothing unexpected happened, this Lala was probably one of the rarest Pokémon in this sea area.

This is incredible luck!

"Alright! Bogarman, get ready to welcome your new partner."

Xiao Guang was aware of the situation and immediately made preparations to subdue him.

"Lala!"

The Lala algae raised its head warily and immediately spat out a stream of purple liquid from its seahorse-like mouth.

It is the dissolving solution!

"It's a dissolving agent, Bogarman, use Tidal Cyclone!"

Xiaoyun spoke up to remind her.

Bogarman leaped in front of Hikari, flapping its wings rapidly, instantly creating a swirling vortex of water in front of it, which unfolded vertically like a water shield.

The purple dissolving liquid was sprayed onto the vortex and instantly swallowed by the water flow.

"Give it back!" Xiaoyun shouted immediately afterward.

"Boga!"

Bogarman flapped its wings violently, throwing the vortex, now infused with venom, at the Lala seaweed.

The Lala algae nimbly jumped up, its tail instantly glowing with a purple light.

Poison Tail!

It faced the swirling tide, its tail sweeping towards Pogaman.

But before the poisonous tail could even touch the whirlpool, Xiao Guang's command had already been given:

"Bogaman, push up! Use your iron head!"

Piplup's head instantly became shiny and gleaming. The Steel-type Ironhead ignored the Poison Tail's attack and charged straight at it.

boom!

With a crisp sound, Bogarman, as expected of a general in Hikari's team, knocked Lala Algae unconscious with this attack.

Xiao Guang then took out a Poké Ball and gently tossed it at Lalamove.

Deng!

The Poké Ball shook three times, the red light went out, and the Pokémon was successfully captured!

"Lalambula, a grass-like Pokémon."

Attributes: Water + Poison

"Characteristics: Adaptability"

"Moves: Dissolving Liquid, Poison Tail, Water Pulse, Tornado..."

"Strength: Elite Stage"

"Lala algae, successfully captured!"
