Chapter 12 If You Can’T Catch Fish, Then Go In The Water
"Ash, keep going inside and you will reach the interior of the Viridian Forest!"
"There will be powerful wild Pokémon!"
Misty hid behind Ash.
Looking at the dark path ahead, she whispered.
The interior of the Viridian Forest is a natural maze formed by the dense trees of various kinds. The lush trees make it difficult for light to penetrate, and the entire forest seems a little dim.
Most Rookie Trainers only dare to wander around the outer areas.
"I know, just walk a little inside, there is a river not far ahead, let's go there first to see if we can catch the Water Type Pokémon that suits our taste!"
"Next, we will challenge the Rock Type Nibi Gym, hoping to capture a suitable Water Type Pokémon!"
Said Ash, holding the travel guide.
Misty nodded.
In addition to training Pokémon these two days, Ash has been looking for suitable Pokémon to capture in the forest.
But he has never been able to pick a suitable Pokémon. There are many rare Pokémon in the Viridian Forest, and he will definitely gain something!
After entering the forest, Ash released Pidegeotto to take charge of air surveillance. With Misty and Pikachu, they moved forward slowly.
They came to the bank of a river about 8 meters wide.
There should be fewer Magikarps here!
"Wow, what a clear river!"
Misty stared at the lake happily.
Different water-type Pokémon have different requirements for water quality. With such clear water, I think there is a chance to catch some rare Water Type Pokémon!
"Yeah, if there is no suitable Pokémon yet, we will go directly to Nibi City!"
Ash said, taking out the high-level Fishing Rod he just bought in Viridian City from his backpack!
Considering that he will challenge the Nibi Gym next, he naturally has to prepare a Good Rod for fishing!
And he has Misty, a partner who is determined to become a Water Type Pokémon master, and carries various special baits with him.
He only needs to bring a Fishing Rod!
"Really? That's great!"
Misty smiled happily, then took out the Fishing Rod from her backpack and skillfully installed the exclusive bait for fishing Water Type Pokémon!
She didn't want to go deep into the Evergreen Forest, as there were enough insect Pokémon on the periphery.
In comparison, fishing is her professional and authoritative field.
...…
An hour later, Ash had a slightly depressed look on his face.
Misty's bait was very powerful, and often a water-type Pokémon would bite the hook after casting the rod for a while!
There were indeed fewer Magikarps, but unfortunately they were only very ordinary fish Pokémon such as Goldeen and Shellder!
"Ah!!"
"I don't ask for a top-notch Pokémon that can evolve into Flash Magikarp, at least a water-type Pokémon with good qualifications!"
Ash sighed and handed the lively Magikarp that he had just pulled up to the Magikarp in the air.
Let Pidegeotto take it to a farther place and release it.
To prevent it from "polluting" the waters where the two were fishing.
Another two hours passed, and more and more Magikarp were caught by Ash.
They were all very ordinary red Magikarp, and there was not even an ordinary Magikarp with purple qualifications.
Looking at the lake, Ash felt a little depressed!
Compared with the game, the difficulty of fishing Pokémon in the real Pokémon world is obviously much higher.
"Ash, don't be discouraged, as long as you persist, you will definitely catch the Pokémon you are satisfied with!"
Misty also didn't get much, and seeing that Ash was a little depressed, she immediately comforted him.
The fishing process is boring, and you must be able to endure loneliness
In the end, you may be able to reap joy!
"Thank you for your comfort, Misty, I know!"
Throwing the Fishing Rod into the water, Ash was about to continue fishing.
Ding! ! !
The familiar system prompt sounded.
The host was detected to be in a low mood, triggering the "compensation" task.
Stubborn Fisherman: Equipment System Dive equipment into the water to select the water Pokémon you like.
Mission Reward: Points reset, fishing hook probability -20%, Note (a top-quality water Pokémon and top-quality carrying props will be randomly generated in this river)
"Ask if you want to accept the mission!"
"Yes!"
After listening, Ash answered without hesitation!
He didn't want to continue to be tortured by the Magikarp in this area
Besides, he didn't have many points, so exchanging for the top-quality Water Type Pokémon prepared by the system would be a big profit.
As for reducing the probability of fishing hooks, Ash didn't care.
After all, he was not like Misty, a water-specialized Trainer!
"Deduction successful, Pokémon has been generated!"
"Dive props (limited time) have been put into the system space!"
Ash stood up, took off his hat, and took off his coat.
What's the point of fishing!
My buddy went directly into the water to find the plug-in arranged by the system!
Compared to fishing, Dive efficiency is higher no matter how you look at it!
"Ash, you can't hold on any longer? Why don't you take a break and I'll help you watch!"
"In fact, the density and quality of Water Type Pokémon here are already very good compared to the surrounding waters!"
Misty subconsciously thought that Ash was ready to give up, but Ash smiled and said, "I'm not going to give up, but I've thought of a better way than fishing!"
Plop! ! ! !
As soon as the voice fell, Ash took Pikachu and jumped directly into the river
Pika~~
The unprepared Pikachu exclaimed.
Misty was also stunned by Ash's behavior.
If you can't catch it, just go into the water to catch it?
It is indeed Ash's style, but how long can he stay in the water without professional props?
Maybe he will have to surface in a few minutes.
The actual efficiency is probably much lower than fishing!
Thinking of this, Misty plans to persuade Ash and Pikachu when they can't hold their breath and float to the surface.
It is a taboo to be impatient when fishing!
However, Underwater at this moment.
A burst of blue light flashed.
Pikachu~~
In Pikachu's surprised eyes.
Ash and his body were covered with a layer of blue light film.
Then, his vision, breathing and movement ability were restored to the same level as on land!
In his sight, no less than 50 Water Type Pokémon were swimming around him, and the brave Poliwag even swam over to check.
Poliwag, blue qualification, level lv.15
" Pikachu, Quick Attack!"
After wearing the system's Dive suit, Pikachu's speed did not change at all from when on land.
It turned into a white stream of light and knocked the approaching Poliwag unconscious.
"Good job, Pikachu!"
Ash gave a thumbs up.
He was a little surprised, it was worthy of the system's Dive suit
This set of equipment can save him a lot of trouble!
