Chapter 588 Golden Carp King!
"Be careful."
At this moment, a clear whistle came from one of the entrances of the aquarium, which immediately attracted the attention of all the tourists in the aquarium.
But I saw a tour guide in a light blue uniform walking in front, with a gentle smile on her lips and a whistle in her hand playing a light tune.
She was followed by a line of blue and white little penguins.
It's Pogaman!
They have round heads and short, pointed beaks, and their short legs make them stumble and move, but they are lined up in an orderly manner.
It was just like a child who had just learned to walk following his teacher on a spring outing, attracting tourists to hold up their cameras and take pictures.
"Next is the time for Pogaman's performance. Visitors who want to watch please follow me to the ice exhibition area."
"So many Pogamon!"
Xiaoguang's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the Poké Ball and threw it out.
"Boga!"
The little penguin jumped out of the Poké Ball and saw the huge group of its fellow penguins in front of it. Its eyes widened instantly and it was extremely surprised.
The last time I saw so many of my kind was at the alliance’s incubation base.
But it was sent to the research institute after just a few days, and since then it has been traveling with Xiaoguang and has long forgotten the feeling of being with its companions.
boom!
Just as he was lost in thought, the little penguin was suddenly hit lightly on the back and staggered half a step.
When he turned around, he saw a Pogo stick about the same size as him, holding his head and looking dizzy.
Apparently, he was walking unsteadily and mistook the little penguin for a group and accidentally bumped into them.
The little penguin sighed helplessly.
My foolish fellow penguin, how can you protect the pride of the penguin clan like this?
It immediately stretched out its little wings to help the other one up, but found that the Poka-Man was still spinning in the same place and couldn't even recognize the direction of the team.
The little penguin simply used its wings to push the other's back and turned around, pointing its head in the direction the team was moving.
"Poga~!"
The Pogamon, who was helped, shook his head and finally reacted. He waved his little wings towards the little penguin, as if to say thank you or as an invitation.
"Boga Boga."
The little penguin looked at his silly fellows and couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and waved like a senior.
Go, I am an old man from the old era, and the new era has no ship to carry me!
"Boga?"
Pogaman didn't understand, but seemed to be rejected.
It rubbed its head in confusion, then took short steps and twisted its body to catch up with the team.
Looking at the back of the junior, the little penguin raised his head slightly, showing the demeanor of a senior.
After watching the performance in the ice exhibition area, the two walked deeper into the corridor and took the stairs leading to the next section.
The huge glass door was open, and the sea breeze, wrapped in the scent of the beach, blew in with a hint of warmth from the sun.
This is almost the back door of the aquarium.
In the center of the exit hall, a golden statue is particularly eye-catching.
It was a fish with its mouth slightly open and its eyes wise.
The tail is raised high, as if it is about to jump out of the water in the next second.
Golden Magikarp!
"Golden Magikarp? Is it made of gold?!"
Two surprised voices sounded at the same time.
Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look. Her long flaxen hair was draped over her shoulders, and the hem of her dress was slightly moved by the wind.
If it’s not Serena, then who is it?
Serena on the opposite side also turned around, her eyes lighting up instantly.
"Xiaoguang!"
"Salina!"
The two of them hugged each other gently and shook their hands together.
"What a coincidence, I meet you again!"
Serena glanced at Xiaoyun next to her, smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Yeah!" Xiaoguang said with a smile, "I heard the aquarium here is super famous, so I brought Xiaoyun here. Why are you here too?"
"What a coincidence, so are I and Satoshi."
Serena immediately shook the aquarium ticket in her hand, which made Xiaoyun lose confidence.
Let’s go to the aquarium together. These two are making rapid progress.
Noticing Xiaoyun's ecstatic look, he quickly waved his hands, "No! Yulijia and Xitron are watching the electric light show in the deep sea area. We just happened to walk here!"
She didn't know why she had to explain, she obviously wanted to be misunderstood...
Serena turned her head to look at Xiaozhi, and her secret joy turned into a helpless smile.
Well, this guy is still studying fish.
Xiaozhi was seen squatting in front of the Golden Magikarp statue, his chin resting on his hands, staring at the statue seriously:
"Golden Magikarp...I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
"Oh? Have you seen it, my friend?"
Everyone turned around and saw an old man wearing a straw hat and holding a fishing rod walking towards them. His coarse cloth jacket was a little damp from the sea breeze.
Xiaozhi stood up and scratched the back of his head, then smiled sheepishly, "Hmm... I seem to have some impression of it from my travels before, but I can't quite remember where exactly."
Blurry images flashed through my mind inexplicably.
In the noisy market, an uncle in a flowered shirt was holding a golden shadow and shouting, spit flying, saying that it was rare in the world and only happens once in a hundred years!
Why do I think of this?
"It's what we've seen in other areas."
The old man sighed softly, his eyes falling on the open mouth of the Golden Carp Magikarp statue, a soft light of nostalgia shimmering in his slightly cloudy eyes.
"I am the owner of this aquarium. I was a sailor when I was young."
"Once, we encountered a storm in this sea area and our boat capsized and fell into the sea. A Magikarp swam over and carried me on its back all the way to the shore."
"I remember it, that Magikarp, its scales were just like that golden."
Serena stood beside Xiaozhi, tilting her head to look at the statue, with a hint of surprise in her tone:
"Is there really a Golden Magikarp? I thought the aquarium carved one out of gold to attract tourists."
"Hahaha, the little girl really knows how to joke!"
The old man laughed heartily: "If it was really a golden sculpture, it would have been stolen by thieves long ago. How could it have survived until now?"
As he spoke, he looked out at the sea outside the aquarium, his tone tinged with regret, "But my lifelong dream is to catch that golden carp again."
"That's why I fish in this waters every day. Even just seeing it again is enough."
"Okay! I've decided!"
Xiaozhi suddenly took a step forward, his eyes shining like burning flames: "I want to fish here and try to help the gym owner catch a Golden Magikarp!"
Oh my god, Serena quickly grabbed his arm:
"Calm down, Xiaozhi! Didn't you hear the owner say he's been fishing for decades without catching anything? How can we possibly catch anything in just a short while?"
"Huh? Why not?!"
Xiaozhi turned his head, his face full of unwillingness to admit defeat:
"Didn't there seem to be many opponents you couldn't defeat in previous battles? As long as you persevere, you'll definitely succeed!"
They will definitely release the water.
Xiaoyun held back and didn't say anything, mainly because he also wanted to fish.
Seeing that Xiaozhi was so persistent, Serena had no choice but to follow everyone and borrow a fishing rod from the gym owner.
call out--
As the fishing lines were thrown into the sea one by one, everyone's eyes were focused on the float.
Turn on fishing mode.
And deep in the sea where everyone was fishing, a robot that looked exactly like the real Magikarp was lying on the bottom of the water.
Inside the machine, Musashi stared at the figures through a modified diving goggles made of telescopes and said, "These little brats are fishing. What should we do? Just watch them?"
Kojiro, sitting at the console next to them, spread his hands and said, "I haven't thought about it yet... But Pikachu must be with them. We have to find a way to lure it over."
This is nonsense.
Musashi rolled his eyes.
Meowth suddenly jumped up, "I have a plan, meowth!"
"Hmm? You have a plan too? Tell me!"
Musashi raised an eyebrow and leaned forward.
Miaomiao smiled mysteriously, took out a red fishing rod from his back pocket, and said proudly:
"Let's have a fishing competition with the little brat! Whoever catches the most fish gets Pikachu as their Meowth!"
"Oh, this is good!"
Kojiro's eyes lit up, and he took out an exquisite silver fishing rod from somewhere and said confidently:
"I used to be the champion of the fishing competition. With that little brat's fishing skills, he's definitely going to lose this time!"
Meow Meow came over and chuckled, "Oh my, as expected of Kojiro, so reliable!"
Kojiro also threw his head back and laughed: "Hahaha, of course!"
Looking at the two idiots in front of him, the veins on Musashi's forehead grew bigger and bigger.
"You two! Give me some time!!!"
--------------
on the beach.
Pfft!
At this moment, the float suddenly jumped, Xiaoyun turned his wrist and lifted the fishing rod upwards.
Hoo-ho-ho~!
This is indeed a Magikarp, but it is just an ordinary Magikarp with wise eyes.
"It's you again."
Xiaoyun's mouth twitched. It turned out that it was not easy to catch the shiny carp, so he put the carp back into the sea.
"Me too."
Xiaoguang next to her also caught an almost identical Magikarp. She shrugged helplessly and, imitating Xiaoyun, threw the Magikarp back into the sea.
"Didn't we say we were going fishing? Why are there shrimp?"
Serena stretched out her finger and gently poked the blue lobster hanging on the hook.
It's Carlos' specialty, the iron-armed pistol shrimp.
The iron-arm pistol shrimp was waving its small claws, as if in protest.
Serena tilted her head, thinking:
"Shrimp, will they bite the hook?"
"Damn it! Everyone else has caught something, but I haven't! Why can't I catch a single fish?"
Xiaozhi stared at the float on the water, his voice sounding frantic, just like a typical fisherman.
"Pikachu~"
Xiaopi was sitting on a rock next to Xiaozhi, his tail wagging leisurely, when the small fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank.
Pfft!
It pulled with its claws and caught another Magikarp.
Pikachu shook his head proudly and threw the Magikarp into the small bucket next to him.
The tank was filled with pure carp, and it was almost full.
This made Xiaozhi's eyes even redder.
Not far away, Xitron and Yulijia, who arrived late, were also fishing.
With the help of the high-tech fishing rod he had developed temporarily, Hitlon not only caught several Magikarp, but also subdued a powerful electric monster.
Xitron nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, my invention design is indeed effective."
Although it is cheating, it is still normal.
But when it comes to Yu Lijia, the style of painting has completely changed.
"Everyone's catching Magikarp, why are the ones I'm catching so weird?"
Yulijia frowned and held a fish in her hand that was covered in dust and looked like mud.
She took a look at it and threw it back into the sea.
Xiaoyun's eyebrows jumped when he saw this scene, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!"
That was a Smellyfish just now, right? It's the Smellyfish that can only evolve into Milotic!
There is also a Slowpoke caught nearby.
This thing isn't freshwater? How could she have caught it in the sea?
Can I only say that he is worthy of being the most lucky person in the history of Pokémon?
"Hahaha, the kids are all very motivated."
The old owner sat nearby and fished with them, looking at the people playing around with a kind smile on his face.
But then he sighed again, his eyes drifting towards the distant sea, with a hint of longing and regret:
"I'm already this old, I don't know if I can see it in this lifetime~"
There is strength in numbers, but this doesn't seem to apply to fishing.
But the old museum owner didn't care. He just thought that these children were keeping him company and he felt warm inside.
"I can do it!"
Xiaozhi suddenly spoke, his eyes still fixed on the float.
At this moment, the float suddenly sank down and almost completely submerged in the water!
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up instantly:
"coming soon!"
He gripped the fishing rod tightly and pulled hard, but even as a newcomer to Pallet Town, he found it a bit strenuous.
But this made Xiaozhi even more excited.
This strength! It's definitely the Golden Carp King!
He began to exert force, and the muscles in his arms tensed instantly.
Pikachu also jumped over and grabbed the end of the fishing rod with his little paws, helping to pull.
"123!" "Pickup truck!"
One person and one pet pulled back together!
Wow!
A huge fishing net suddenly emerged from the water and quickly caught Ash and Pikachu in it!
Immediately afterwards, the water surface shook violently and a giant Magikarp emerged from the water.
The old owner stood up in shock, and the palm-leaf fan in his hand fell to the ground: "This... this, what a huge Magikarp!"
What's new is that he has lived for most of his life and has never seen a Magikarp that is comparable to Gyarados!
Serena also noticed the unusual movement and immediately stood up, staring at the giant Magikarp warily:
"Who are you!"
"Hahaha, since you asked so sincerely!"
After the line is triggered, Musashi immediately jumps out of the Magikarp machine wearing the iconic Team Rocket uniform.
"Then I will tell you with great mercy."
Xiaoyun took over the conversation.
"Who, who stole my line!"
Kojiro also jumped out and shouted in dissatisfaction when he heard Xiaoyun's words.
Xiaoyun smiled and waved, saying hello:
"Of course it's me."
When Kojiro saw that it was Xiaoyun, his shoulders instantly slumped.
"Well, just rob it, rob it..."
He is a highly educated man and doesn't bother with ordinary people.
"Team Rocket, it's you again!"
Xiaozhi was struggling in the fishing net. He pulled the net hard but couldn't pull it open.
"Pica..."
Pikachu lay calmly in the fishing net, and even adjusted himself to a comfortable position, as if he was already used to this kind of scene.
