Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"Huh? This is..."

It was still the same seaside, with the gentle sea breeze blowing on his face. Aislo, who was rummaging through his backpack, suddenly uttered an exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Mary came closer and saw clearly what the boy was holding.

It was a retracted fishing rod. Just by looking at the surface material, you could tell that the workmanship of the fishing rod was very fine and it was obviously worth a lot of money.

Aislo looked at the fishing rod in his hand and fell into deep thought. For a moment he didn't even know where he got this thing.

"Isn't this the championship reward for the Baiyang Cup that we participated in in Baiyang Town?" Mary suddenly remembered. After all, the time from then to now was not long, but not too short either. But it was not to the point where her memory was vague.

"Oh, yes!" Aislo suddenly woke up. There seemed to be a fishing rod in the pile of rewards, but it had been placed in his backpack for a long time, gathering dust, and had not been used. Thinking of this, Aislo turned his head and looked at the boundless ocean. Wouldn't this come in handy?

Mary, who was beside the boy, also saw what he was thinking. She seemed to recall something and began to rummage through her backpack, muttering, "I remember that my brother should have packed this for me... Oh, here it is."

Soon, Mary also took out a fishing rod from her backpack. Nie Zi packed this for her because he was afraid that the girl would be bored during the trip. In addition to the fishing rod, there were many other things, such as pen spinners, fidget spinners, plush dolls... It can be said that Nie Zi packed everything that could be packed.

"Let's go fishing together?" Mary asked softly.

"Okay." Aislo agreed quickly.

Then the two of them sat down on the ground, cast their fishing rods like the air force guys they remembered, and waited quietly.

Aislo and Mary were both very strong, so they threw the fishhooks far away without having to worry about them being swept back by the waves. But for some reason, Mary always felt like she had forgotten something, but she didn't think much about it.

As both of them are newbies in fishing, they have no experience at all. They just stay there quietly, waiting for Pokémon to take the bait. The waiting process may be boring for others, but not necessarily for Aislo and Mary.

The boy and the girl were so close to each other that they could even vaguely feel the warmth radiating from each other. From time to time, one of them was shaken by the gentle sea breeze, and their shoulders would touch each other, but soon, that person would adjust his sitting position and continue looking at the buoy on the sea in the distance.

In this way, the game of you sticking to me and I sticking to you lasted for about 3 minutes. While waiting, Moon Eevee poked its head over, stared at the two of them curiously for a while, and then put its head into the fish basket that came with the fishing rod.

The next moment, accompanied by a flash of pink light, Moon Eevee "accidentally" fell into the fish basket. The base of the fish basket was unstable and it soon fell over and rolled to one side.

"Buee!" "Na na na!" Along with the screams of Moon Eevee was the laughter of Sasquatch.

The buoy on Aislo's side also began to shake rapidly at this time.

"Huh? So fast?" Aislo was a little surprised. After all, judging from the videos on the Internet, some people might not catch a fish even if they sit there for two or three hours. But the boy reacted quickly, and then with a light pull, a giant clam flew into his hand.

"Hello~" Aislo greeted the Pokémon in his hand with a smile, and then took some snacks from the side and fed them to Shellder.

"Da!" Judging from Shellder's expression, he was not at all panicked. He happily took the food handed to him by Eslo and started eating.

Mary watched this scene gently from the side, but the next moment, when she noticed the small bag used to hold bait next to Eslo, she finally realized where the abnormality she had felt before came from.

The girl hurriedly turned the joystick to reel in her line, and picked up the hook to check. Sure enough, the hook was empty, which told Mary one thing - they had just forgotten to put the bait.

"If that's the case, then why was this clam caught?" Mary was a little confused, but she didn't ask. She just put bait on her hook and cast the line out.

After releasing the Shellder back into the ocean, Eslo cast the hook out again without baiting it this time. However, Mari did not give any warning because the girl wanted to see if the same thing would happen next.

Soon, the float on Aislo's side moved again. This time, a Magikarp came up. After feeding the Magikarp some food, Aislo repeated the previous action and put the Magikarp back into the sea.

In the next 10 minutes, Aislo's hands hardly stopped, because as soon as he put a Pokémon back into the sea, another one would soon follow, as if the elves were constantly gathering here.

At this time, Mary no longer cast the rod because she thought it was unnecessary. Anyway, the Pokémon in the sea were chasing and biting Eslo's rod, right?

Mary had a rough guess about the current situation in her mind, "Is this the affinity of the stone slab?" The girl sighed in her heart.

"Um, A'Luo." Mary tapped Aislo's shoulder, then pointed at the bait bag next to the boy and asked, "Do you know what this thing is used for?"

"Hmm?" As Aislo took out a handful of bait from the bait bag and fed it to the fish in his hand, while answering casually, "Isn't it the food that you feed the Pokémon after you catch them?"

“…Okay, you can understand it this way.” Mary closed her mouth and stopped talking. She had realized that the other party’s understanding of fishing was only gained from those meme videos on the Internet.

"It doesn't make much difference to him anyway, right?" Mary teased in her heart, then looked at Eslo's actions with a smile in her eyes, remaining silent.

……

Time flies, and the two people and the Pokémon who have had enough fun packed their bags and left the beach.

After Aislo and Mary washed themselves in a small hotel, they headed towards Shuangye Town.

What the two of them didn't notice was that in the small square of Masaga Town, the big screen was broadcasting the following news as they left: [Recently, a strong storm has appeared in the waters near Binhai City. Fishermen going out to sea, please pay attention to safety...]
