Science Elf: Godfather of the Strongest Pokémon

On the outskirts of Mubai City, by the Mujiang River.

A suspension bridge extends into the lake, and fishermen come and go on the bridge.

No matter young men or leisurely old men, they all sat on the pony and stared at the float on the water without blinking.

In addition to the bridge, the river bank was also very lively. There were many people under the shade of the trees. Those who came to fish and those who did not fish just to join in the fun gathered together. There were also children playing and playing.

Among the crowd, a boy with bangs covering his forehead and wearing a mask, who looked like he was just a college student, was carrying fishing gear along the road looking for an opening or the best fishing position.

This person is Xia Tian.

It took about two hours to drive here from the city, not because the road was too far, but because the place was so remote.

"Uncle Liu said there was no one here before, but he didn't expect it to be so lively in a blink of an eye..."

The best fishing spots outside the city are generally found in dams, reservoirs and bays with ample aquatic plants.

The reservoirs and dams are often artificially stocked with fish fry, which always surprises people in the right season. The ponds, lakes, ditches and other places are fertile with water and grass, and the fish here are also particularly plump.

This riverside does not meet these characteristics, and the water flow here is relatively fast and the water quality is extremely clear.

As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Experienced fishing enthusiasts will not waste time here.

"This news spread quite quickly. I think it's all for Carp King." Xia Tian thought to himself.

After walking along the river bank for a long time, Xia Tian finally found a step with fewer people.

Rows of tall willow trees shed their branches, teasing each other with themselves in the mirror of the river.

Under the shade of the trees, the cool breeze blew, and the people fishing here could not help but shrink their necks and tighten their coats.

And these people are all old men.

It stands to reason that the older you are, the more experienced you are. It is said that fishing for shallows in spring is better for deep pools in summer, and fishing for shade in autumn is warmer in winter. This means that when the water is cold in winter, fish will swim to warmer waters facing the sun and sheltered from the wind.

Although the current climate is not too cold, it is still chilly. Wouldn't a group of old men who looked very experienced go to the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool weather?

Either he couldn't get a seat and couldn't get ahead of the young people on the suspension bridge, or he deliberately chose to wait for the big murder in the upper reaches!

"So no matter what you are fishing for, as long as you are fishing, the fun is mutual..."

Xia Tian smiled and found a step to place a small folding bench and melon seed mineral water, and then took out the fishing rod that he specially used to catch Pokémon.

A normal fishing rod has many sections that shrink. When a fishing rod is stretched out, it becomes thinner towards the top, with the length ranging from 4 to more than 10 meters. But in summer, this fishing rod is completely different everywhere.

It has only three sections and stretches less than five meters, making it the smallest size among fishing rods.

Its entire body, including the front end, is thicker than ordinary fishing rods, and the fishing line is also thicker. And just from the non-white color, it can be seen that it is not made of ordinary materials.

The Pokémon-specific fishing rod, which is overall black and gold with complex patterns, does not look like a fishing rod, but rather like a thinner stick.

This strange and cool fishing rod quickly attracted the attention of an old man next to Xia Tian.

The old man wore a felt hat and had a very sexy mustache. He gave a thumbs up to Xia Tian and said:

"Young man, if you put a steel fork in front of your pole, you can go directly into the water to spear fish."

"Do you know that the Tidal Sea Spirit is the little fishman in the game you young people play? I already have a picture in my mind, hahaha!"

summer:"……"

"Uncle, do you want to play me another song called "One Cut Plum"?"

Meow Song, I often play it in summer.

"Hahaha!" The felt hat man was amused by Xia Tian. The young man in front of him was quite talkative.

"Young man, my surname is Zhou, what do you call me?" the uncle asked.

"My surname is Xia, just call me Xiaoxia." Xia Tian's mask is thicker and he speaks in an angry voice.

"It's great to have a surname of Xia. People with the surname of Xia are all talented people. Look at the anchor who popularizes Pokémon science. He is such a good person. He selflessly spreads the knowledge he knows to the whole society and benefits all mankind!"

Old Xia Tian blushed, but it was a pity that Uncle Zhou could not see it.

Uncle Zhou moved the bench towards Xia Tian and handed Xia Tian a cigarette. Xia Tian waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke, but instead pushed his bag of melon seeds over.

Fishing friends all over the world belong to the same family. For the sake of my uncle’s health and to prevent myself from inhaling second-hand smoke, I’d better let him eat melon seeds.

Uncle Zhou put the cigarette back into the box and began to chew melon seeds without ceremony. Xia Tian also grabbed a handful and chatted against the big tree.

"Xiaoxia, is this your first time fishing?"

"How to say?"

"Uncle, that's not right. I'll just tell you..."

"First of all, you didn't buy the right fishing rod. It was made by an unscrupulous manufacturer. It's so thick and has no toughness at all. You can use it to play stick in the Shaolin Temple."

"You want to buy something like mine." The old man handed over his spare fishing rod: "I'll lend you this."

Xia Tian took it, but had no intention of using it.

There are some things that are inconvenient to say now. His fishing rod is used to catch Pokémon, not fishing. A normal Magikarp weighs twenty kilograms, let alone other Pokémon. Ordinary fishing rods cannot bear such weight. Big load.

Uncle Zhou kept explaining to Xia Tian what specifications of fishing rods were suitable for what situations, but Xia Tian just nodded politely.

I didn’t expect that after spending all day teaching others about Pokémon, I would actually learn about it today.

Hang the bait prepared in advance to attract elves on the fishing line.

"Hey?!" Uncle Zhou looked towards the fishing line and bait that Xia Tian was playing with.

Not to mention bait, many people have weird bait formulas, but there is only a red cone-shaped object on the fishing line, not even a hook!

"Good guy, you don't have a hook on your fishing line yet?!"

"Are you going to learn Jiang Taigong's fishing rhythm?!"

Uncle Zhou almost broke through the defense, and his voice was so loud that it attracted all the old men around him.

"Young people nowadays are playing tricks. Anyone who wants to take the bait will come."

“No, no, Jiang Ziya’s one has a straight hook, but this one doesn’t even have a hook. Do you expect the fish to tie it up by itself?

"What do you know? This is the greatest test of perseverance. If I had had this young man's courage and perseverance when I was young, I would have several grandchildren now..."

"Young man, you'd better change the hook. I have it here and I can lend it to you."

Xia Tian helplessly held up his forehead. He promised to keep a low profile, but he was accidentally watched again.

It’s not that there are no fish hooks on fishing lines in summer, but there are no fish hooks in the traditional sense.

It’s a suction cup fishhook!

If a Pokémon bites the hook, its mouth will be blocked by the sucker while eating the bait, which is much easier to use than a hook.

The old men were chattering around, but Xia Tian was there.

Uncle Zhou's eyes suddenly flashed at this moment, and he asked Xia Tian quietly: "Xiao Xia, tell the truth, are you also here to catch the big red carp wearing the crown?"

"Aren't you the same, uncle? Or maybe the people who come here to fish are all here for Pokémon, right?"

Uncle Zhou smiled and gave a thumbs up to Xia Tian: "You are the most special person I have ever seen. Are your fishing rods and hooks without hooks specially prepared?"

Xia Tian nodded and smiled mysteriously.

The old men around were still chattering, enthusiastically looking for fish hooks for Xia Tian. Xia Tian apologized for refusing:

"Grandpas and uncles, let's compete to see who can catch the legendary big red carp first. I'll use this fishing rod without a hook. You don't want to be outdone by me!"

I know what the big guys are here for, and I think it’s okay to catch Pokémon just like fishing. However, everyone is here to try their luck, and they don’t expect to actually catch it. After all, the fishing friend who spread the rumors will not eventually catch it. Didn't it work?

Hearing Xia Tian issued a "challenge" to them, the elders rarely became excited.

"That's right, we old men can't lose to the juniors!"

"Bibi, Bibi, the old man has been sitting here for three days, and I will use all my strength today!"

"I have to get serious too!" Uncle Zhou put down the melon seeds and started baiting and casting the line again.

In the summer, throw the rod equally hard.

A large amount of Pokémon bait hung on a suction cup fishhook dropped into the water like a small stone.

There was a ticking sound, clear and clear, with rugged ripples splashing.

The shore fell into silence for a while, and everyone stared at their own floats.

During the long wait, Xia Tian put on his headphones and played music.

Half an hour passed, but there was no movement on the river.

An hour passed, and old men caught fish one after another.

Most of them were silver carp and carp of a decent weight, tumbling about in the bucket.

Another half hour passed, and the summer playlist had started playing again.

One after another, some elders got up and took a walk because their backs ached from sitting for a long time, and some elders were satisfied with some gains and ran away with their buckets.

For anglers, patience is a must. The joy of fishing lies in the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes after the fish bites the hook after putting in time and effort. Even if you fail to catch the fish, you will continue to look forward to the next bite. hook.

At this moment, the music in Xia Tian's headphones suddenly changed.That's his ringtone.

After pressing the answer button, Bai Jiajia's sobs immediately came from the earphones.

Xia Tian frowned: "Jiajia, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"Uuuuu~ Brother Xia Tian, ​​stupid Wang, she abandoned me and teamed up with a ghost to scare me..."

"She also took me to the cemetery, and my elf ball was almost snatched away by the gangsters. Woohoo~Brother Xia Tian, ​​you have to make the decision for me~"

When Xia Tian was two years old, he knew that Wang Yuchun was not a worry-free person and could make Bai Jiajia cry even when he went to an amusement park.

etc!Ghost?

Good guy, Mimikyu didn't send it to you, so Ghost came to your door, right?

We are scaring people together, but you are really there. You and Guisi are just like each other!

"Jiajia, are you okay now? Did you catch the gangster who stole your things?"

"No...it's okay. My dad assigned me a lot of bodyguards, but I'm a little dirty and I feel tired..."

"I..." Xia Tian just wanted Bai Jiajia to give the phone to the little idiot and scold him, but suddenly he felt movement in the fishing rod and float.

His eyes showed joy and he quickly changed his words: "Let's talk about it when we get back!"

"Xia Tian cut off~" Bai Jiajia on the other end of the phone hid her feet and used her soft and cute voice to act coquettishly to Xia Tian.

"Okay, okay! I'll take care of her when I get back!"

Xia Tian hung up the phone directly. On the other end of the phone, Bai Jiajia could only jump, but Wang Yuchun was snickering.

The moment he hung up the phone, Xia Tian stood up and put away his pole.

The weight on the fishing rod is not big, maybe less than ten kilograms, which makes Xia Tian have unlimited expectations.

It’s basically impossible to be Magikarp, so which cutie will win?

Come out, little round penguin Bogaman! ! !

Come on and act cute to me!

Under the curious and expectant gazes of the surrounding adults, the fishing line pulled a stone-like object out of the water and fell in front of Xia Tian.

"Catch it!"

"It's not a fish! It's a Pokémon!"

"Pokémon I've never seen before!"

"The young man is awesome!"

The old men were all stunned and shocked, and there was an uproar on the shore.

Are you really going to catch Pokémon for this guy without a hook?

Is this how Pokémon are caught?

simply……

What the hell!

Old men rushed to tell each other, and some picked up the phone to invite friends and invite people to come and watch.

The news spread immediately on the river bank, and people who were fishing on the suspension bridge and other places rushed over to pay homage to the big man.

Some even considered what price they would pay for the caught Pokémon.

Compared to the noisy atmosphere and upcoming excitement on the river bank, Xia Tian was silent.

How could it be this one!

Wang Yuchun, what kind of physique do you have?

"Bei~"

This is a Pokémon that looks like a clam, with a black interior and a limestone-colored spiked armor shell.

Its long tongue is now exposed and firmly sucked by the suction cup fishhook.

It's the big-tongued clam!

The one who bites the tail of Slowpoke can fuse and evolve into Slowpoke, and bite the head to make it evolve into Slowpoke with a small chance. It is even ridiculed that he and Guis are actually in the same evolutionary chain!

The big-tongued baby whose tongue was sucked by the suction cup was not nervous at the moment, and was looking around without any vigilance.

The big round eyes stared at Xia Tian without blinking, looking dull and lifeless.

As if to say, what happened?

-

Time goes back to before the clams were fished.

The giant-tongued clams were born in this water. They look for food in the river during the day. Whether it is shrimps or aquatic plants and mayflies, this water is very rich in food.

At night, they use their big tongues to dig a hole in the soft sand at the bottom of the river, then get in and close the shell to have a good sleep.

Life is so contented.

Although some big red carps often swim in the river, there is no conflict between the two groups.

Because those carps are dull and stupid, and because of this, the quiet life of the big-tongued clams is broken.

That day, a Magikarp was caught by humans, and a little penguin saw an uneven road and pecked off the fishing line to save it.

However, this also exposed the paradise of the big-tongued clams.

Since then, humans have come here to fish in an endless stream, disrupting their lives.

The big-tongued clams got some news from the little penguins:

There are many water Pokémon that have moved inland from the outer ocean.

The giant-tongued clams feel that they need to migrate if they still want to live a quiet life or avoid territorial conflicts.

So that night, the big-tongued clams ran away overnight and followed the little penguins south.

But this big-tongued clam caught in the summer overslept and left the group...

All because this big-tongued clam is a bit silly, just like a Slowpoke.

When I wake up, all my companions are gone and I am the only one left. What should I do? I don’t know~

The giant-tongued clam swam aimlessly along the river, not knowing where to find its companions.

Before I knew it, I was hungry.

Coincidentally passing by the fishing area, the big-tongued clam looked at the food on the hooks on the river bank and started to get greedy. However, it seemed that its companions told it not to touch those things every day, and it didn't remember why...

Big Tongue Bei began to think hard...

until……

what is this?smell good!

The big-tongued clam underwater looked at Xia Tian's bait, and its big tongue couldn't help but spin around in the water.

This is a fishhook and food that is different from other fish hooks. It is completely outside the scope of the giant tongue clam's understanding, and it is also outside the scope of his companions' teachings.

and so……

Big Tongue's long tongue began to lick the Pokémon bait, and the sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue throughout his body. After a while, Big Tongue decided that he was so happy!

A fatal attraction like poison.

The big-tongued beetle licked the food addictively, and then...

Then the tongue was sucked and messed with!

When fishing, you not only have to bully the fish for not being smart, but you also have to bully it for not having hands!

The big-tongued clam was pulled out of the water in a daze, with no hands to resist, and it didn't even know what resistance was.
