Starting with the Different Colored Gas Bomb, he became the Poison Master.

Chapter 122 Fishing Tournament

"Calm down, Kai, if you don't know how, we can teach you."

Half an hour later.

The group arrived at the Senhai Wetland Nature Reserve in Shuicheng by taking the dojo's special bus.

This protected area is unanimously recognized by anglers as a great place.

The fishing tournament is also held here.

There were as many as 83 participants!

Ye Kai felt numb.

So many people, instead of deciding the winner through Pokémon battles, are competing in fishing skills?!

What kind of ridiculous water-based gym is this?

He had prepared for the worst.

Let's give it a try first. If it really doesn't work, we can always take a detour and challenge other gyms first.

I'll try again later when I've improved my fishing skills.

"Come on, come on, let's get our fishing rods, bait, and tree fruits first!"

The voices of the dojo staff pulled him back to reality.

Five minutes later, everyone received a standard fishing rod.

The bait consisted entirely of fake pufferfish and two buckets of tree fruit.

"How do I do this?"

His only recourse now is to seek help from Zhao Qian and Wang Xiaoting.

"To start fishing, you must first understand how to fish."

"Currently, there are two types of fishing methods used in dojo competitions."

"The first method is to use chopped tree fruits as bait to lure the spirits. The second method is more complicated."

Ye Kai didn't quite understand and raised a question about the second fishing method.

"To put it simply, it's a fishing method that uses fake bait to simulate weak Pokémon in order to attract powerful Water-type Pokémon to take the bait."

After hearing this, Ye Kai understood the general idea.

There are several other fishing methods, which Zhao Qian introduced.

But the competition wouldn't wait for them; people kept catching Pokémon.

The most common varieties are carp kingfish and goldfish.

Ye Kai had a general understanding of the rules.

This is different from the insect-catching competition I played in my previous life.

This doesn't consider how much HP the captured Pokémon has left, nor does it consider whether you caught a rare Water-type Pokémon.

Instead, they choose one Water-type Pokémon from those they catch to participate in the battle elimination tournament.

The top 8 winners will be eligible to challenge the gym leader!

It seems that luck also plays a significant role.

If someone catches a Gyarados, wouldn't that be a huge advantage?

Time was of the essence, so after Wang Xiaoting helped Ye Kai roughly set up the fishing rod, she left him to his own devices.

after awhile.

Just as Ye Kai was holding the fishing rod and pondering.

"boom!!!"

The previously calm lake surface suddenly burst open.

A being tens of meters tall roared angrily.

"Roar!!"

"My God, someone actually managed to catch a Gyarados!!"

Everyone looked at the lucky person with envy.

"Haha, the fisherman never comes home empty-handed, it's just a fluke."

"Electro-Deviate, use Thunderbolt to take it down!"

The Gyarados was electrocuted and started smoking, and was quickly captured.

The fisherman, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked like a seasoned expert.

Soon, league observers surrounded him.

"You put experience candies in your bait, which caused the Magikarp that took the bait to evolve, right?"

A cold, indifferent electronic voice rang out.

"What are you talking about? I caught this Gyarados with my own skill..."

Before the man could even offer any further explanation, Uncle Hat kicked him out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, anyone caught cheating in a dojo tournament will be banned for 3 years the first time, and banned for life the second time!"

"Please do not take chances; compete fairly."

Ye Kai was also taken aback. He had just observed that the most common creatures here were Magikarp.

If you can use Gyarados, that would be a huge advantage in battle.

Unexpectedly, someone got caught cheating?

The broadcast announcement did not slow down the progress of the fishing event.

After all, the entire fishing process only takes 2 hours.

Some people reaped great rewards.

Some of them are actually in the Air Force.

Ye Kai was a member of the Air Force.

In his past life, he would watch outdoor fishing streamers when he had free time, but he never expected that he would be so bad at fishing when he actually tried it himself.

Then look at Zhao Qian and Wang Xiaoting standing to the side.

Zhao Qian had a very successful harvest; he had already caught a large crab, a large number of Magikarp, and Neon Fish...

Wang Xiaoting is no slouch either, with dishes like Savage Bass and Ironclad Pistol Shrimp.

Just then, his fishing rod finally moved.

A fish has taken the bait?!

But he clearly didn't put any bait in the water!

It doesn't seem too difficult.

The saying "willing people will take the bait" is truly apt.

He got so excited that he suddenly pulled the fishing rod.

That's some serious force!

The fish was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, and it almost dragged Ye Kai into the water!

Holy crap!

It lasted for less than 2 seconds.

Ye Kai stumbled and fell directly into the water.

In his haste, he only glanced at it.

What kind of fish is this?!

Beneath the deep blue surface of the lake, a giant fish, over ten meters long, lunged at it.

Then Ye Kai was pulled out of the water by a tremendous force.

It's Wang Xiaoting's incredible strength!

Then the surface tension of the lake was forcibly broken by the giant beast underwater!

"boom!!!"

The lake water was blasted into the air like cannonballs.

Everyone was stunned.

"Eat...eat...eat the hog?!"

The entire room fell silent.

A middle-aged fisherman with a stutter broke the silence first, dropping the cigarette he was holding in his mouth in shock.

"It's that Roaring King!!"

"Hehe, you'd better not try to catch it. It's the tyrant of the Senhai Nature Reserve."

Wang Xiaoting and Zhao Qian were also stunned.

Is this the newbie aura?

Either it's an air force operation, or they're catching a fish this big?!

Ye Kai is numb.

His fishing rod was taken away by the hog-eater, so what's the point of fishing now?

This has effectively been eliminated.

The other contestants around were amazed by this sight; this Roaring Boss was quite famous.

Don't even mention beginners, even experienced players will crash and burn!

I'm speechless.

"As expected of Brother Kai, awesome!"

"Okay, shut up."

Ye Kai was still unconvinced and walked towards the staff of the dojo.

"Could you provide me with another set of fishing gear?"

"According to the rules of the fishing tournament, one set per person, young man, wait until next week."

"..."

Now we can only watch Zhao Qian's match.

Catching a Roaring Beast is unpredictable; since it has appeared, we can only wait until next Wednesday to try again.

Besides, he doesn't know much about fishing and needs to learn it systematically.

"boom!!!"

The lake water was once again thrown into the air.

A second time.

Someone caught that bigmouth bass again, and ended up breaking their fishing rod...

That person could only accept their bad luck.

The two-hour match passed quickly.

In this stage, 37 out of 83 people were eliminated.

Only 46 challengers remain.

Those who were eliminated were either air force users or had only one Magikarp below level 15.

A Magikarp of too low a level can only leap and has no fighting power; it's just a punching bag.

If you can't fight any battles, you have no choice but to give up.

"Go, Goldfish King, charge with your horns!"

"Magikarp, Tackle!"

With the help of this goldfish king, Zhao Qian quickly defeated his first opponent.

"Iron-armed Pistol Shrimp!"

"Agate jellyfish! Poisonous stinger!"

Wang Xiaoting was just playing around; she didn't care whether she played in the dojo or not.

The iron-armed pistol shrimp she caught was quite aggressive and had its own methods.

It was first poisoned, and then, during its struggle with the agate jellyfish, it was hit by ultrasound.

Strange, why hasn't this shrimp attacked yet...?

Its physical strength has reached its limit.

Suddenly, it charged at the agate jellyfish and unleashed a furious claw attack!

This is a move that becomes more powerful the less stamina one has.

Ye Kai saw through its plan at a glance.

It's estimated that they've been using some kind of enhancement skill before...

The result was an instant comeback!

However, the iron-armed pistol shrimp was also poisoned.

Of the three, only Zhao Qian ultimately made it into the top 8.

Let's watch his game first.

It's important to know that if Ye Kai makes it into the top 8, he will have the opportunity to challenge Zhuang Su.

This time, we'll be facing a Water-type Gym Leader with five Pokémon in battle!

The fishing competition ended, and the bus began its return journey.

"Brother Qian, teach me how to fish."

He decisively asked for help.

"That's necessary, but we'll have to wait until after the gym tournament."

"The first thing to do when fishing is to cultivate the right mindset. You'll learn that very quickly, Kai."
