Pokémon: Welcome to Alola!

Chapter 99 Extra: The Past of the Sea

Eight years ago in Kenike City, four-year-old Shui Lian fished gracefully on the beach with a simple fishing rod handmade by her father.She was small and wore a hat that did not match her short stature to block the hot sun.He held the fishing rod tightly with both hands and stared at the sea with firm eyes.

The mother had just given birth to twin sisters, and the burden of life on the family had increased sharply. Even though the father, the fisherman, was recognized as the number one fisherman in Kaniko City, the financial pressure on the family of five still made Dahai's man bend down.In order to catch more fish, Yu Tai went out fishing for longer and longer periods of time, often coming back only once every two or three days. He would catch a whole boat of carp and tench before coming back, so that he could support himself. Expenses for a family.Shui Lian also wants to take on some responsibilities for the family, but at the age of four, she doesn't know how to do anything.

"Shui Lian, you are fishing again. Did you catch anything today?"

Residents of Kenic City would sometimes tease Shui Lian when they passed by. Shui Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, bit his lip and shook his head.She hasn't caught any fish yet.

"Shui Lian, it's getting late. Come home quickly and have lunch."

At the neighbor's reminder, Shui Lian put away her fishing rod. It wasn't that she was really hungry, but that she was going home to help cook.Her mother is still breastfeeding and has to take care of her two twin sisters. Shuilian has to help her mother with housework every day.I staggered back home and was sweating all over. I placed the fishing rod at the door of the house and Shui Lian returned home.

"I'm sweating from running again. Wash your face first." Her mother was lying on the bed taking care of the two little girls. Shui Lian took off her bamboo hat, giggled, and poured a ladle of water to wash her face and hands.Mom had already cooked the porridge in the pot, but Shui Lian didn't have time to eat it. She had to go kiss her sisters first and then clean the house.

"Mom, when will dad come back?"

Shui Lian held a rice bowl bigger than her face and gulped down the porridge.Mother gently stroked the water lotus blue hair and scolded: "You run out every day and you get tanned."

Looking at the shining sun outside the window, my mother felt sorry for Shui Lian, and she even felt sorry for her husband, who was still fishing at sea.

"Your dad will be back today. The sun is so bright today, so don't go out in the afternoon. Your dad will spank you if he sees it."

After finishing the porridge, Shui Lian consciously washed the dishes. She chose to ignore her mother's advice. She must learn to fish before the end of this summer.Mengfu was urging her to be anxious. There were many things that might have been missed if they were not completed immediately.Shui Lian already had a temperament that was inappropriate for her age when she was very young. She was more resolute than anyone else even though she was still childish.But after all, she was just a child, and she didn’t know why she was doing so many things. She just intuitively believed that this could help her family.So she did it.

When her father returned, Shui Lian was dozing off holding a fishing rod at the beach, and was carried home by her father who was passing by.Sleeping on her father's shirtless shoulders is Sui Lian's best memory. Every time she smells the salty smell of her father's body, which is the smell of the sea and fish Pokémon, it makes Sui Lian feel particularly at ease. Sleeping very sweetly on my shoulder.

Yutai is Dahai's man, Shuilian's pride, and her most beloved father.

The next day, my father was going to sea again, just when he was about to leave on the coast.Shui Lian came to the port, still wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fishing rod, still small.

"Dad, take me out to sea."

"Take your head and go home. Don't let your mother worry."

"I told my mother, and she asked me to follow you."

"I don't believe it. The sea is not a place you should go. Just stay at home and wait for dad to come back."

Yu Tai arranged the supplies on the ship, untied the ship's rope, and prepared to start a new voyage.

"Didn't you say that you are the man of the sea and I am the daughter of the sea? I also want to go fishing with you."

"Hahaha, she is indeed my daughter, but I have to wait until you learn to fish first. You don't even know how to fish, and you still say you want to go to sea."

"Then if I catch a fish, will you agree to take me out to sea?"

"It depends on what fish you caught."

"A big, big fish, so big."

The little water lotus opened her arms, waved her arms facing the sea, tightened her grip on the fishing rod, and spread her hands as wide as she could. In her small world, this was the largest scale she could measure.

"Not big enough. Not big enough."

The father finally let go of the ship's rope, and the ship began to slowly leave the port.

"Then it's so big! As big as Kyogre, the God of the Ocean!"

Shui Lian said, making herself laugh out loud.

The fisherman stood on the bow of the boat and said with a smile: "Okay, when you catch Kyogre, dad will take you out to sea."

"Okay, I'm going to catch a big, big fish, and then I'll go out to sea with my dad and catch a boatload of fish."

Water Lily happily jumped around the harbor, waving the old fishing rod in her hand.

Strangely enough, Shui Lian still came to the beach to learn fishing that day. At such a young age, she once again fell asleep on the beach covered with a bamboo hat.Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to see Kyogre rising above her head, shining blue light in the sun, splashing waves as high as mountains.Kyogre gently called Sui Lian's name, floating on the water and looking at her.Water Lotus walked step by step from the beach to the sea, stepping on the ripples on the water to come to Kyogre.Kyogre spoke in the same voice as his father: "Shui Lian, you are the daughter of the sea. One day you will become the pride of your father."

This dream made Shuilian wake up with a smile. It was the first time she saw Kyogre, but it was only in a dream.

Later, two days, three days, four days.My father had never stayed away for so long.

Her mother would always touch Shui Lian's head and tell her that her father would be back when she woke up.

After a heavy rain.

Five days, six days, seven days.

My father didn't come back. Only half of the capsized boat floated back. That was my father's boat.

Shui Lian never thought that that day at the port would be the last time she would see her father.

Shui Lian asked her mother where her father had gone.

My mother said: "Dad turned into Kyogre and swam to the end of the sea. He is the man of the sea, and one day he will return to the sea and leave the land."

Shui Lian still practices fishing every day. She has caught many different fish, including King Carp, Tench, Iron Cannon Fish, and Nanny Mambo, but she has released them all back into the sea.Over time, whenever a fish bites the hook, she knows what kind of fish is biting the hook without even looking. Even if it eats the bait, she doesn't bother to lift the rod.

One day she met an armored shell. The armored shell told her that it had met Yutai on the sea, and Yutai was very brave in galloping on the sea.

Suiren then realized that she could understand what the water Pokémon was saying, and she asked Ironclad if her father had anything to say to her.

Tiejiabei said: "Yu Tai kept repeating one sentence, he and his daughter have an agreement."

"Did he really say that?"

"He kept repeating this until he died."
