Looks like it's my turn to step in!
The big milk jug, bell-ring, came out, gently patted Schrödinger's glasses with its hoof, and then mooed.
The little lamb, seemingly understanding, let out a soft bleat, and a verdant green color began to spread from its paws.
Countless blades of grass grow from the earth even without sunlight.
It's the Grassland skill of the little sheep mount!
This is simply the perfect place for big milk tanks to roll around!
Big Milk Tank Bell glanced back at the remaining two Big Milk Tanks and gently shook the bell on its chest.
Would you like to run a few laps with me?
I would be delighted!
The three large milk cans began to roll recklessly across the grassy field, with each small pebbles acting as an acceleration belt for them.
With each collision and turn, the speed continued to increase.
Riolu had no idea when he was pushed off the field.
It now feels completely out of place with the expedition team.
…………
Fang Gu, who was fishing outside, heard a series of beeping sounds as soon as his fishing rod made the slightest movement.
Fang Gu was stunned. What had happened?!
Chapter 147 Magikarp's excessive caution resulted in catching a Feebas.
[Congratulations! Your partner Miltank defeated the Pokémon Geodude using Rollout. You have gained 1 Battle Experience.]
[Congratulations! Your partner Miltank defeated the Pokémon Graveler using Rollout. You have gained 1 Battle Experience.]
………………
The three giant milk tanks were practically going berserk in Fang Gu's ears, causing his combat experience to increase dramatically at a visible rate.
"Did Milk Tank and the others stir up trouble for Geodude?"
Fang Gu imagined three pink tires bouncing around in front of Little Geodude's house, and the thought of it was a little scary.
Fang Gu turned off the notification sound effects on the Stardew Valley panel and focused on his fishing.
Fishing is a leisure activity in the Pokémon world, and it is very popular among fishing enthusiasts.
Those fishing uncles who get tanned from fishing in the wild always like to pass on their experience to these novices, boasting about what big fish they've caught, and some even boast about catching a mini dragon.
How shameless!
This isn't the giant cauldron lake in Padiya, where you can encounter a pseudo-legendary baby Dratini every few steps. Here, you'll mostly find creatures like Magikarp and Goldfish.
However, Fang Gu fishing was merely a leisure activity while waiting for the members of the Star Expedition Team to emerge from the abandoned cave.
"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to take you to the original riverbank, but the plans have changed."
"But it should all be good training for you there."
Fang Gu scattered a handful of crispy fries and fed them to the carp king in the lake.
"Gululu~"
Magikarp happily ate the fries; compared to the seaweed, the fries suited its taste better.
After Fang Gu put down his fishing rod, he had the carp king drive a group of fish over from a nearby spot, while he opened Douyin (TikTok) and started watching fishing videos.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jeremy Wald, a Pokémon scholar and extreme fishing enthusiast..."
After watching the video clips of this fishing legend several times, Fang Gu couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
"OK, I'm ready. Today, are we going to fish out the legendary Crystal Onix, which is not afraid of water, or a three-meter-long Gyarados?"
Fang Gu's ideals were beautiful, but reality was far from ideal.
This is just a small lake in the Ancient Moon Bird Forest; it's not a place where you could hide the giants that Mr. Jeremy Wald once caught.
Soon, with the help of Magikarp, Fang Gu's fishing rod began to shake wildly. Fang Gu grabbed the fishing rod with one hand, and it instantly stabilized.
After all, although Fang Gu's physical abilities are not as good as those of the people of Pallet Town, his physical abilities are still among the best in the Pokémon world thanks to his fist techniques that enhance his Aura power.
Soon, bighead carp, common carp, largemouth bass, and silver carp—fish that live in deep mountain lakes—filled Fanggu's fish basket to overflowing.
"Looks like we won't have to worry about fish for a while," Fang Gu thought to himself. "That little guy Miao Miao will surely be very happy."
These wild fish living in the Pokémon world have delicious flesh and very few bones because they are unpolluted, making them perfect for dishes like sashimi and sushi.
It seems like these are the recipes for both dishes in Stardew Valley.
Fang Gu was very familiar with sashimi. In the game, an old man named Linus would write a letter to the player and give him the recipe after they reached a certain level of goodwill.
It was thanks to this recipe that Fang Gu was able to have enough sashimi to fill his stomach during the early stages of the game.
But this is the Pokémon world after all, and we don't know what special effects sashimi can have, or how to obtain this recipe.
Hopefully, one day the cooking bread will be able to use it.
Looking at the fish that were about to jump out of his fish basket, Fang Gu shook his head. He decided to buy a smaller fish basket.
The fish here can fetch a good price, so keep the best ones for later.
Fang Gu was losing interest in fishing for these ordinary fish. Seeing Magikarp emerge from the water, he told it not to chase the fish this way anymore and to find a suitable Pokémon in the lake to battle.
Meanwhile, I switched the bait on my fishing rod to crispy French fries.
He had seen a post on Douyin (TikTok) about a fishing cult's holy maiden who could catch fish with lollipops and even pieces of dragon corpses.
The crispy fries in his hand are clearly superior to the two items mentioned above.
"I don't even need to catch a Dratini, just give me a Horsea." Fang Gu thought to himself.
Furthermore, Horsea's final evolution, Kingdra, like Dratini, possesses powerful dragon attributes.
Most importantly, the horse mackerel is just so cute!
Fang Gu really wanted to try rubbing the little belly of the black seahorse with its white scales.
Fang Gu muttered the name of the black seahorse, and with a graceful cast, spun the fishing rod onto the lake surface.
They completely disregarded the fact that Horsea is actually a Pokémon that lives in the sea.
But if there's a passage in this lake that connects to the ocean, you might actually be able to catch a black seahorse.
"Gululu."
Upon hearing Fang Gu's words, Magikarp dived into the center of the lake.
He needs to choose a suitable opponent for his debut match.
Magikarp looked at the Pokémon in the lake: the all-blue Upo, the Mudskipper with black lightning-like patterns on its body, the Lotad floating on the surface of the lake, and the Swimbue whose tail spun like a propeller in the water.
Tsk.
None of them seemed easy to deal with.
Slowly, Magikarp turned its gaze to a group of creatures swimming around in the lake with blank stares.
Magikarp!
Yes! Fang Gu's Magikarp finally set its sights on its own kind.
It must first prove itself to be the strongest Magikarp before challenging other Pokémon!
This powerful (?) Magikarp is overly cautious!
…………
Looking at the fishing rod that hadn't moved for a while, Fang Gu finally couldn't help but complain, "I knew that little girl was just posing for a photo."
But the moment he said those words, the fishing rod moved!
"Uh."
Fang Gu was speechless! This slap in the face came way too fast!
But if you weren't Makoto Seahorse, I would never forgive you!
Fang Gu suddenly pulled up his fishing rod and swung it hard, sending a fish-shaped Pokémon flying from the lake to the ground.
Because there was no water, the fish Pokémon could only thrash its body, and Fang Gu could vaguely see the image of Magikarp splashing water on its body.
The sun shone directly down, illuminating the fish-shaped Pokémon's appearance clearly.
Its sunken skin was pitted, and its dull eyes were no less than those of Magikarp. In addition, the dark circles around its eyes made its already unattractive appearance even worse.
It is Feebas, which is known as the ugliest Pokémon.
Meanwhile, its evolved form, Milotic, is also known as the most beautiful Pokémon!
Chapter 148 Difficult Evolutionary Conditions: Ugly Fish: I'm Giving It Away for Free
Fang Gu was momentarily stunned when he saw the Ugly Fish.
He never expected to catch an ugly fish.
It's worth noting that Feebas doesn't even appear in Carlos's local Pokédex.
Therefore, there can only be one possible origin for the Ugly Fish.
—The sea.
The Pokémon world is similar to the world of Fang Gu's previous life, both possessing abundant water resources, but the vast majority of it is inedible saltwater, namely the ocean.
The sheer number of Pokémon hidden in the ocean is something even Professor Oak, the most authoritative Pokémon researcher of this era, cannot say.
Feebas was the first Pokémon discovered in the Hoenn region. It has complete vitality and can survive in the ocean, rivers, and even stinky ditches filled with rotting objects.
Only the Pokémon Corphish, which has the Adaptability ability, can be its neighbor.
As for why the ugly fish would appear in the lake, there's only one possibility.
This lake really does have a hidden passage that connects to the outside sea.
