Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Ah, why can't I catch any fish?"

Su Qimeng scratched her head and said irritably.

"Alas, young people are just too impatient. You should know that ice fishing requires calmness and patience to catch big fish."

Lin Shi said calmly while sitting on a stool holding a fishing rod. Their current location was on a lake covered with solid ice.

Ice fishing is to make a hole in the frozen ice and then use this hole to fish for water elves moving under the ice.

It is said that it can increase the success rate of fishing when it is freezing cold and you are hungry and cold.

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Su Qimeng stood up, looked at Lin Shi, smacked her lips and said:

"I would have believed it if there wasn't a single fish in your bucket."

Lin Shi closed his eyes and shook his head, as if to say, "The world is against me and there is no point in asking for anything else." He ignored Su Qimeng.

"puff."

At this moment, a goldfish floated up from the water, turned its eyes and looked around, then glanced at the empty bucket next to Lin Shi, and dived back into the water with a look of contempt.

Lin Shi:?

What does this horned goldfish mean?

"Oh my god, you're insulting me, right? Gyarados 100,000 volts."

Looking at Lin Shi's appearance, Su Qimeng held her forehead and shook her head. Didn't we agree to remain calm?

"Come on, stop making trouble. There's a sign outside prohibiting electrofishing."

Su Qimeng said helplessly.

"Tsk, I don't feel good today, I won't fish anymore."

Throwing away the fishing rod, Lin Shi stood up and stretched his body.

Lin Shi opened the opening of the tent and got out. It was white all around, with only some colorful tents set up on the ice. These were people who were ice fishing like Lin Shi.

The cold air was inhaled into the noses of the two people, feeling a little irritated. They opened the door of the tent next to them, and Lin Shi was the first to go in.

Meng Wan and Meng Ge were also inside the tent. Meng Wan was fishing with a fishing rod in high spirits. Meng Ge was also sitting in front of the ice cave but he didn't seem to be paying attention to fishing at all. He was looking at his phone and typing non-stop.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Lin Shi and Su Qimeng come in, Meng Wan asked curiously.

"I've fished too much and I'm a bit tired, so I came out to get some fresh air." Lin Shi said calmly.

"Really? Yes, the fish here are really easy to catch."

After listening to Lin Shi's words, Meng Wan nodded slightly in approval.

"Look, this is what I caught."

As she spoke, Meng Wan stretched out her hand and pointed to the side, where there was a huge water tank with several elves swimming in it, including a Magikarp, a goldfish, and even a giant shellfish.

Lin Shi: ...

Tsk, it’s just the novice protection period…

"Click."

As she spoke, Meng Wan took a photo of the fish she had caught, then held down her phone and texted:

"Taoyao, did you see that? I caught all of them. It's a pity that you went back too early, otherwise we could have gone fishing together."

Apparently the person Meng Wan was chatting with was Li Taoyao. After the Chinese New Year, Li Taoyao was quickly called back to Taoxian City by Tao Ran, as Tao Ran seemed to be very worried about Li Taoyao being outside.

"What is your sister busy with? Why do I feel like she's been busy lately?"

Looking at Meng Ge who was looking down at his phone and computer, Lin Shi asked curiously.

"Oh, my parents gave my sister a project and asked her to be in charge of the promotion of our new product that is about to be launched. My sister is very busy now."

Meng Wan sighed and said, it’s not that she didn’t want to help Meng Ge, but she had tried hard and really didn’t have the talent in this area. In the end, she came to the conclusion that not helping was the best help.

"What new product? Is it related to tree fruits?" Lin Shi continued to ask.

"That's right." Meng Wan nodded.

"It is a new type of energy block developed from basic enhanced tree fruit. Experts have always believed that eating the tree fruit directly cannot fully exert its effectiveness."

"So our family invested a lot of money and time to develop a basic energy-enhancing block that has not yet appeared on the market. It can further improve the elves' absorption of the tree fruit effect."

Meng Wan spoke eloquently, and it was obvious that she had really done her homework.

After hearing her words, Lin Shi's eyes lit up.

"Don't mention it, this seems to be a really good thing. It may even be a groundbreaking product that can influence the entire Pokémon food industry."

"Your family is confident in leaving such an important matter to your sister, a newbie?" Lin Shi frowned and asked in confusion.

"It's just a trial run. At present, our family has decided to pre-sell this energy cube only in Taoxian City. My sister is only responsible for the promotion in Taoxian City. If there are no problems and the feedback is good, we will further promote it in the whole region."

Lin Shi touched his chin and nodded. If that was the case, it was reasonable. Looking at Meng Ge's busy appearance, Lin Shi couldn't help but shook his head. It wasn't easy for children from rich families...

"Wow, another fish is caught."

As she was speaking, Meng Wan suddenly exclaimed, and the fishing rod in her hand began to shake violently. It seemed to be a big fish.

“Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious. Don’t be in a hurry to reel in the rod. Walk it around until it has no strength left.” As an experienced angler, Lin Shi taught enthusiastically.

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Meng Wan and the fish in the water were in a stalemate for a while. Feeling the pulling force in her hand getting smaller and smaller, Meng Wan exerted force suddenly and raised the fishing rod high in her hand.

A yellow-green ball-like Pokémon covered with spikes was pulled out of the water. Lin Shi recognized it as a Thousand Needle Fish at a glance.

The Thousand Needle Fish that was pulled up didn't look very friendly. Its spines were all over its body emitting a green glow, and it rushed towards Meng Wan.

"Curly ears, double kick."

A rabbit-like Pokémon jumped out from beside Meng Wan, emitting red fighting energy, leaped up, kicked the Thousand Needle Fish, then turned around and did a beautiful roundhouse kick, kicking the Thousand Needle Fish back into the water.

"Well done Curly Ears."

The curly-eared cat landed gracefully on the ground and bowed slightly to everyone, looking like a real lady. Meng Wan touched its head and praised it.

……

As the sun sets, the day of ice fishing passes quickly, and it is also a rare vacation time for Lin Shi.

"Did you really release all the fish you caught? I haven't checked yet."

Meng Wan, who was beside Lin Shi, said regretfully.

"Pfft..." Su Qimeng couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lin Shi nodded without changing his expression.

"Yes, I just enjoy the fun of fishing and I don't have much interest in them..."

"Bye-Bye……"

After saying goodbye to Su Qimeng, Lin Shi opened the door and entered the house. Just after changing his clothes, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and took a look, Lin Shi raised his eyebrows.

Why is it him?

"Hello, what's the matter?" Lin Shi picked up the phone and answered it. Not knowing what the other end said, Lin Shi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Okay then. I'll be there early tomorrow morning. Wait for me..."
