Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 849 - 430: Fishing Tournament, VS Fishing Master! (Part 3)

Its gaze locked onto the human fishing, its agile form swiftly charging towards him.

Veluza used Tackle.

Sato Ken seemed to anticipate this, and just as Veluza was about to hit him, he suddenly sidestepped and evaded, shouting loudly, followed by a swift karate chop.

"Ha!"

Veluza took a heavy blow and fell to the ground, twisting its body.

Sato Ken quickly took out a Poke Ball and captured Veluza inside.

The Poke Ball shook violently, perhaps because a lot of energy was spent in the battle just now, gradually, the shaking of the Poke Ball grew smaller and smaller, until it stopped completely.

This signaled a successful capture.

Naoki watched the entire process in stunned silence.

Oh my! This is way too hardcore!

A fight between flesh and Pokemon?

Did this guy use the same method to conquer Gyarados back then?

Seeming to notice his stunned gaze, Sato Ken, meters away, turned his head and glanced at him, grinning:

"As a legendary fisherman, I catch not just normal fish, but all kinds of Fish-type Pokemon too! Only a legendary fisherman who can conquer all fish can become the grandmaster of fishing!"

Naoki was speechless for a moment.

Conquer all fish... does that include the Sea God, Kyogre?

Sato Ken exclaimed excitedly: "How far can you go? Let me witness it myself!"

As he finished speaking, Naoki’s fishing float suddenly moved twice.

A fish took the bait!

Naoki immediately refocused his attention, and at that moment, everyone’s gaze around him turned towards his direction.

What kind of fish would it be?

Naoki initially thought he would have to expend a lot of effort like Sato Ken to reel the fish in, but he was surprised to find that the fish didn’t require much effort from him at all!

The transparent fishing line was pulled from the surface of the lake, and at the end of the line, was tied a small, sushi-like Pokemon.

That’s... Tatsugiri?

Naoki reeled in the hook and cradled the pale orange Tatsugiri in both hands, bewildered, staring at it.

Tatsugiri hopped twice, curiously looking at the human in front of it.

Normally, it should feel scared and turn to flee at this moment.

But the human emitted an aura that felt very congenial to it, for a moment, Tatsugiri forgot to escape, gazing with its big eyes into those of the human.

"It’s Tatsugiri!"

The crowd quickly recognized the Pokemon.

Tatsugiri, a Dragon + Water-type Pokemon, known for being very cunning and deceitful, would inflate its throat pouch to mimic.

Even more remarkable, although Tatsugiri is small and lacking in strength, it knows how to use its intelligence to survive.

Even among Dragon-type Pokemon, Tatsugiri’s intelligence is top-notch!

They live inside Dondozo’s mouth, protecting themselves from external threats, and not only that, they command Dondozo, working together to catch prey!

And for the smart Tatsugiri, Dondozo even voluntarily regards it as a leader with respect.

"That’s amazing!" someone exclaimed in astonishment.

It’s known that Tatsugiri, being such a crafty Pokemon, is very difficult to catch!

Sometimes, even if you catch a hundred reckless Veluza, you might not catch a single Tatsugiri.

Upon seeing the Tatsugiri, Sato Ken couldn’t help but show a serious expression.

"No wonder you’re the renowned fishing champion here in Porto Marinada Town! It seems I must give it my all!"

Naoki: "..." He could only smile politely.

Looking at the Tatsugiri in his palm, Naoki was at a loss for words.

Because through the Dragon Power’s perception, he realized that Tatsugiri had intentionally bitten his hook, allowing itself to be caught!
