Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 433

Chapter 433 The Fishing Master and Menas

Mililong held his head high and looked cutely at the human in front of him with his eyes open.

Zoki looked at the Poké Ball containing the Fish Pokémon next to him, thinking that such a docile Mililion shouldn't need to be put into the Poké Ball, right?

 After thinking about it, he put the Mililion into a small bucket with water next to it.

 “You just stay here obediently!”

With a plop, Mililon slipped into the bucket.

Zhi Shu turned around and continued fishing. During this period, he looked back and found that it was really waiting obediently in the bucket.

Milililong only had half of his head exposed from the water, looking out.

 Not to mention, Mililon's appearance is quite cute.

Zhishu smiled at it, then turned around and continued to concentrate on fishing.

 The fishing competition is still going on.

At this moment, a huge splash suddenly sounded from a girl in a short skirt not far away.

The surrounding fishermen all turned their heads to look, and saw a huge, fat catfish Pokémon jumping out of the water.

“Oh my god! After Takeru Sato and Naoki, another person who has caught a fish Pokémon is born!”

“I wonder if player Minglan can grasp it and conquer that eating beast! Come on! Player Minglan!”

Everyone watching on the shore cheered and cheered for the girl named Minglan.

 But the strength of the eating beast was too great, and it was not something she could compete with.

Even though Minglan struggled to close the fishing rod, she was finally able to break free from the fishing rod. Not only that, she almost even dragged the fishing rod away.

Seeing this scene, people made sounds of regret.

"Pity!"

“Fishing is all about patience and skill. Fishing without damaging the fishing rod is impossible to catch rare fish simply by using brute force.” Takeru Sato said calmly.

As he finished speaking, the float floating on the water in front of him moved.

  Circles of ripples are centered on the fishing line and ripple in all directions.

Sato Takeru's eyes suddenly became sharp. He kept the rhythm and closed the rod. Soon, he caught an ordinary river fish.

This time it was not a rare fish Pokémon. Takeru Sato was not discouraged. He put the fish into the bucket, then sat on the small bench and continued fishing.

Sato Ken looked like a worldly expert. Naoki was slightly startled when he looked at him. He could tell that the other person was really capable.

 In this case, he must be serious.

 Come fish!

 The float floating on the water moved and looked very heavy. It looked like a big guy had taken the bait!

What kind of fish will it be this time?

 With this weight, is it possible that he is eating Rouba?

 Recalling the Chihouba that the girl had just caught, Naoki immediately took a stance to close the pole.

 Because Chihouba is too reckless. Although it is not very bright in mind, it is very strong.

 If you are not prepared, Chihouba may be dragged into the water when he struggles later.

 Naoki exerted strength in his arms and started to close the club sharply.

 What surprised him was that the fish that was hooked did not struggle the whole time.

 Zhi Shu couldn't help but be confused.

 Isn't it eating Houba?

 Soon, Naoki had the answer to this question in his mind.

 Because what he caught this time was not a Chiroba at all, but a Pokémon with a pink body, a fat body, two curly ears and a cream-colored mouth.

The Pokémon was currently biting the fishhook with its mouth, its eyes were dull, and a long pink tail was hanging downward.

This is... Slowpoke? !

 Zhishu was confused.

what happened? Don't Slowpoke live on the river bank?

Soon, someone noticed the scene on his side.

“Oh! This is really surprising. Player Naoki actually caught a Slowpoke!”

　　Some viewers who were watching the fishing competition for the first time were confused: "Is Slowpoke also considered a fish Pokémon?"

"It doesn't count in the conventional sense, but according to the rules of the fishing competition, whether the fish you catch is an ordinary fish or a Pokémon, it can be counted as one point! If the rarity is high, one can even be worth several times. Only!"

 “Good luck.” Takeru Sato also saw the Slowpoke.

As far as he knows, Pokémon like Slowpoke usually live a life of lying on the seaside and riverside all day long. They are usually in a daze and rarely go to the water.

 But that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Some Slowpoke will also float on the water with their companions in a daze, letting the current push them far away.

 Naoki: “…”

 He helped the Slowpoke free from the fishhook, and then placed it on the grass nearby.

 Slowpoke showed no reaction during the whole process, his eyes were dull, and he looked stupid.

 In the end, it simply stayed beside Naoki and started to sleep.

Is this Slowpoke?

 As expected, he lives up to his name...

 Shaked his head, Naoki continued to throw out the fishing rod and started to catch the next fish.

As time passed, other anglers gradually caught a lot of fish.

 There are ordinary river fish and some fish Pokémon.

Like the common carp and ugly fish in rivers.

Although some people with better luck caught Chihouba, they were all run away by it.

 Soon, there were only ten minutes left in the three hours.

 During this period, both Takeru Sato and Naoki caught a lot of fish and Pokémon.

 The organizer of the fishing competition took a look at the time, and then informed everyone: "Attention, contestants! There are still ten minutes until the end of the fishing competition!"

 Ten minutes? Naoki calculated in his mind that he could probably catch the last fish.

 At this moment, there was movement from Takeru Sato's side.

There were fierce whirlpools on the water, as if something huge was struggling crazily.

 The big stuff is coming!

 Sato Takeru felt the power coming from the fishing rod, and his expression suddenly became serious.

His arms used force to stabilize the fishing rod and prevent the fish from breaking away.

 At the same time, he started to close the club continuously. When the distance was about the same, Sato Ken pushed harder.

 The next second, a huge Chihouba jumped out of the lake.

 Its figure covered the sky and the sun, shrouding Takeru Sato in shadow.

 “It's Chihouba again!” The onlookers opened their eyes wide.

“This is the eighth player who has caught Chihouba today! Unfortunately, all the previous ones have failed. I don't know if Mr. Sato Takeru can succeed.”

“He has a high chance. After all, Mr. Takeru Sato once conquered a wild Gyarados!”

 Amidst people's discussion, Takeru Sato's expression became tense.

 Obviously, he did not dare to neglect this extremely powerful Chihouba at all.

Chihouba finally landed on the land by the river. It looked around angrily, opened its mouth, and used a water gun attack directly at the initiator.

 The water flow condenses into a water column and shoots out at extremely fast speeds.

 Fortunately, Takeru Sato had anticipated it in advance and quickly ducked sideways.

Taking advantage of the gap between Chihouba's attacks, Takeru Sato stepped forward, climbed up to Chihouba's back, reached out and grabbed the two long catfish tentacles, and suppressed them under him.

  The catfish must be restrained by others, and the eater is stimulated and begins to flap wildly in place.

 But the shore is not in the water, so Chihouba, who has a natural disadvantage, cannot exert his full strength.

Chihouba struggled, but Takeru Sato restrained him.

 One person and one Pokémon immediately fell into a stalemate.

 The next thing to compete is the endurance of both sides, until who can't hold on first.

Zhi Shu was stunned by this scene.

 Is fishing done like this? Why are you still fighting with the fish?

But then again, the physiques of these humans in the Pokémon world are so strong!

As time passed, Chiroba's struggle gradually became smaller and smaller, until finally, the poor Pokémon lay weakly on the grass, panting there.

 It has finally conquered this human being...

Seeing this scene, Takeru Sato knew that he had succeeded.

 He breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a new Poké Ball and put the Chiroba in it.

 Perhaps Chihouba ran out of energy, so the elf ball only shook a few times and then stopped.

 “Bah, bang, bang!”

 The nervous onlookers on the shore applauded one after another.

“As expected of Mr. Takeru Sato!”

 “How awesome! He actually subdued Chihou Ba!”

Naoki also admired the other person very much. If he was asked to climb on the back of the Pokémon to subdue the Pokémon like that, he would not be able to do it.

 There is still more than a minute before the end of the competition time. In such a short time, it may not be possible to catch fish.

 In addition, someone had already caught a Chihouba, and the others felt that they had no chance of winning, so they put away their fishing rods in advance and prepared to wait for the evaluation later.

Zhi Shu was also ready to put away the fishing rod like everyone else, but at this moment, the float floating on the water suddenly shook again.

 This means that another fish is hooked!

Zhi Shu was slightly startled, but his hands moved subconsciously.

　　With the sound of splashing, a slender figure jumped out of the lake.

 The water droplets all over the sky splashed from it. Under the refraction of the sun, those water droplets emitted a beautiful brilliance like a rainbow.

 The incident here immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

When people saw the caught figure clearly, everyone immediately sat up in shock, raised their heads, their faces were full of shock, and they looked at the Pokémon with incredible eyes.

It was a slender Pokémon with a cream-colored body, eyes like dreamy rubies, and a body covered with blue and pink scales.

Its appearance is extremely beautiful, its scales shine in the sun, and its streamlined and slender body looks so beautiful.

With a melodious cry, the Pokémon broke free from the hook and fell into the lake again.

 "Meinas..." Takeru Sato shouted out the name of the Pokémon in a daze.

 For every fisherman, Pokémon like Menus are a dream-like existence.

 Because they are so rare.

 “Naoki, quickly conquer it!” Takeru Sato reminded loudly.

　　　 Naoki, who was shocked by Menas, came back to his senses.

 Conquer? How to conquer it?

 Wouldn't he need to climb on Menas' body to suppress it?

do not care! Just throw the ball away!

Zhi Shu gritted his teeth and threw the Poké Ball in his hand with all his strength.

The next second, the elf ball hit Menas, and Menas' body turned into a stream of red light and was absorbed into the elf ball.

 “Buzz-buzz!”   The Poke Ball that fell on the lake began to shake.

 One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Everyone held their breath and watched this scene nervously.

 Naoki didn't have high hopes for conquering Menas with one goal.

 Because this is impossible no matter how you think about it, he is not a one-goal superman, and he and Menas have no relationship, and they are still in a state of strangers to each other.

Meenas will definitely break free from the elf ball, then turn around and swim away, disappearing above the lake.

 Zhi Shu thought in his heart,

 However, at this moment, the elf ball floating on the water suddenly stopped.

Seeing that scene, the onlookers immediately let out a cry of surprise.

 “Yes! Conquered successfully!”

 “Mr. Naoki is so awesome! He was able to catch a rare Pokémon like Menus!”

　　Sato Takeya breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to that Menas, the whiting and light cod he caught were still slightly inferior.

 It seems that the champion of this fishing competition has been announced.

But this time, he was convinced that he lost!

And Zhi Shu felt his head rumbling. The caught Menas actually recognized him? !

what happened?

The Poké Ball containing Menas was washed to the shore by the water of Cauldron Lake. Naoki stepped forward in confusion and picked it up.

 Press the button on the elf ball, and with a flash of white light, the Menas just now appeared in front of everyone again.

It did not turn around and run away, but looked over with gentle eyes.

Three exclamation marks suddenly appeared above Zhishu's head.

  Could it be that the Poké Ball has a brainwashing function? !

 “Menas?” he tried to call.

Meenas looked at the humans in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

 He has a very strong natural aura about him!

 Born in nature, Menas is born with an affinity for this breath.

 Those chosen by nature will not be bad people!

Zhishu didn't have Translator Guazisu on him now, so he couldn't communicate with Menas yet. But seeing that it didn't seem to be planning to leave, he turned around and prepared to take the Pokémon he caught today for the final evaluation.

 The other fishermen around looked at the Menas with envious expressions in their eyes.

“It seems that everyone has gained a lot today!” Mayor Thomas stepped forward with a smile: “Then let me see what kind of fish you have caught.”

 The final result of the fishing competition is based on scores.

There are many subdivisions on this. For example, ordinary fish are worth one point, while fish Pokémon are worth two points.

If the fish Pokémon caught is a rare type, the score will be even higher.

 These scores are added together to get the final score of these contestants.

Mayor Thomas and the judges began to inspect the fish caught by the contestants one by one.

Before it was his turn, Zhi Shu lowered his head and looked at his harvest today.

 Three Millosaurs, two Snapper Turtles, a Slowpoke, a bunch of Bass and Shrimp, and a Menas.

　These should add up to a lot of points, right?

Naoki turned his head and looked at Takeru Sato, who was not far away.

 He also caught a lot of fish.

There are four light cods, five carp kings, one eating roarer, and a bunch of ordinary river fish.

“Player Takeru Sato, the final score is 42 points!” Mayor Thomas checked his fish Pokémon and then announced.

 Compared to others, this score is already very high.

Recalling the way Ken Sato conquered Pokémon with his body just now, Naoki felt sincere admiration.

 He is really a true fishing master!

At this time, Mayor Thomas came to Naoki.

 After some careful inspection, he announced the final result with a smile:

“Player Naoki, the final score is 52 points! Speaking of which, this is the first time someone has caught a Pokémon like Menas!”

 52 points, a full ten points ahead of Takeru Sato.

 As expected, Naoki won the championship in this fishing competition and received the championship medal from the Fishing Association.

 After it was over, Takeru Sato walked up to Naoki.

“I am heartily convinced.” Takeru Sato felt sincere admiration.

 Naoki: “…”

"No." He shook his head: "I'm just lucky."

  Combining the power of the dragon with Padilla paella, he has too many tricks compared to other players.

Takeru Sato is the truly powerful fishing master.

After hearing those words, Takeru Sato shook his head with a smile and said: "Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. I am very happy to compete with you in today's fishing competition. If there is a chance in the future, let us go to the vast sea. Go fishing!”

 Compared to lakes on land, the boundless sea is home to a larger number of fish Pokémon.

 For anglers, it is the best fishing place in the world.

 Naoki: “…”

If he went fishing on the sea, he was worried that he would catch the little Kyogre that Water Lotus caught later.

 After all, he has seen the effect of Padian paella with his own eyes.

 But Naoki still responded: "Okay."

Sato Takeru then laughed with satisfaction: "Then, let's conquer the fish Pokémon in the sea together!"

 The fishing competition is over. In order not to damage the ecological environment of Cauldron Lake, some fishermen chose to release the Pokémon they caught.

 And Naoki also turned his attention to the Pokémon he caught.

Three Millosaurs lined up in a row and poked their heads out from the edge of the barrel. Two Snapper Turtles were holding on to the beam of the barrel, and the Slowpoke was still lying there in a daze.

Meenas stood on the grass and looked over.

Zhi Shu smiled and said: "Thank you for today. Thanks to your willingness to take the bait, I was able to win the fishing competition. Now the competition is over. If you want to go back, you can go back!"

 Speaking, Naoki placed the small bucket by the river.

The two biting turtles were forced to open their mouths. They looked left and right, then swam into the lake and disappeared.

　　Three Mililiosaurs stayed in the small barrels and jumped around, while Slowpoke was still in a daze.

 It seems that these Pokémon are not planning to leave.

 In this case, he would just take them back to live on the World Tree.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu looked at Menas again.

He took out the Rotom phone from his pocket and asked the Rotom inside to help translate.

 “Menas, are you going to follow me too?”

 “Woo~” Menas nodded slightly.

 Now Naoki was even more surprised.

 He wondered: "Why did you choose me?"

Meinas: "Woo~"

Rotom helped translate: "Menas said [because you have a good smell] Lotto!"

Um? What is the taste?

Zhi Shu quickly lowered his head and smelled himself, but he didn't smell anything.

 “What do you mean?” he asked.

Meinas described it with some embarrassment: "Woo..." (a bit like the wind, and a bit like green leaves, woo, I don't know how to say it...)

 Zhishu was a little confused.

 But soon, a bold guess came to his mind.

Could it be that what Menas felt was the breath of the World Tree?

 In addition, he has eaten dishes made from the leaves of the world tree before... So, could this Menas be taken over by him on his own initiative for this reason?

Is the World Tree so attractive to ordinary Pokémon?

 Zhi Shu really didn't expect this situation.

 He recalled the reactions of Lightning Bird and King Lei Guan when they saw the World Tree, and he had the answer in his heart.

 It seems that the natural environment on the World Tree is very popular with Pokémon.

After thinking for a while, Naoki asked again: "Then do you want to go back with me?"

Meenas nodded happily.

 The fishing competition has ended and people are leaving.

Zhi Shu put Menus into the elf ball, then picked up Slowmon, picked up the small bucket containing Mililion, and returned to the pasture.

As soon as he landed, he went directly to the World Tree and came to the lake on the top floor.

 “Come out! Menas!”

 White light flashed, and Menas's figure fell into the lake.

 Feeling the stronger natural atmosphere around him, Menas was full of surprise.

 Then, Naoki released the three Mililiosaurus and the Slowpoke.

Meenas has a gentle personality and does not like fighting.

Mililong is weak and rarely provokes other Pokémon.

As the name suggests, the Slow Orcs spend all day and night on the shore in a daze, thinking about life.

Even if these Pokémon live here, they will not conflict with other Pokémon. It should be easy to become friends with them in the Hero Expedition.

Not only that, Menas and Mililon can also help water the crops on the World Tree side.

"This is the inside of the World Tree." Naoki introduced to the Pokémon in front of him: "I plan to build an expedition guild here where all Pokémon can live in harmony and help each other. You are welcome to join. !”

Mililongs poked their heads out of the water, and Menas also blinked.

 They seemed very curious about this so-called expedition guild.

 Naoki smiled, then called Oliva and said to him: "Oliva, these Pokémon are new companions who have joined us. Next, I ask you to introduce this place to them."

 Oliva readily agreed.

 Because there were still things to do in the pasture, Naoki left here first.

 After Naoki left, Oliva introduced the situation on the World Tree to these new companions in a gentle tone.

Including the Hero Expedition, including the Expedition Guild, including Pokémon Restaurants, as well as Pokémon Orchards and Farmland.

 After a while, the Wood Guards were also attracted.

 They looked at these new companions curiously.

Oliva continued to introduce: "Lee~Lee!" (After this place is built, everyone will live happily in this place~ Wood geckos want to work as waiters in the cafe, if you have a job you are interested in , you can also help!)

The Mililongs bounced on the spot with excited faces.

 They said: "Mi!" (We want to be the manager of a sushi restaurant!)

Meenas's eyes twinkled. For him who doesn't like fighting, this place is great!

 “Woo!” (Then let me help water the water!) Menas said.

Oliva nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Lee~" (From now on, we are all companions, please take care of me~)

  As for Slowpoke, it was still lying on the shore in a daze.

Comes with a dreamy secret base.
