Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

Xiaozhi and his group are traveling to the Sinnoh region on a luxury cruise ship, and are now participating in a fishing competition on the luxury cruise ship....

"Now let me explain the rules of the Magikarp Fishing Tournament."

"There are no requirements for fishing rods. You can use your own fishing rod. If you don't have one, you can ask the staff for one."

"You can catch as many Magikarp as you want within the time limit, but there is only one Magikarp that can fit into the Rek Ball," said the host, holding up the Rek Ball.

"This rule is the same as the rules of the Goldfish King Catching Competition." Xiaoxia said in surprise.

"After all, the rules of this kind of competition are basically the same. The rules of the insect catching competition I participated in were also the same." Xiaozhi interrupted.

"The person who can catch the lightest Magikarp within thirty minutes will be the champion. The champion will receive a pure gold championship trophy as well as one year's worth of Pokémon food and one year's worth of chocolate." The host continued to explain the rules of the competition.

"The lightest? I didn't expect that the rules of the Goldfish King Fishing Competition are the opposite. In the Goldfish King Fishing Competition, the champion is the one who catches the heaviest King Goldfish, while in the Magikarp Fishing Competition, the champion is the one who catches the lightest King Carp." Xiaoxia said in surprise.

"Because this will increase the difficulty of the competition." Xiaogang interrupted.

"Increase the difficulty of the competition?" Xiaozhi asked puzzledly.

"Well~ because the fishing tournament is held in the swimming pool in the center of the ship, and the swimming pool is connected to the aquarium. However, due to the feeding by tourists, the Magikarp living in the aquarium are all overnourished and oversized. It is very difficult to catch a small Magikarp here." Xiaogang answered.

"That's true. After all, it's a solid gold trophy. If it were that easy to win the championship, the organizer would be losing a lot of money." Xiaozhi agreed.

"There is one more thing: there is a golden Magikarp living in the aquarium. If any of you can catch it, regardless of whether you win the championship or not, he/she can get a mysterious grand prize and a useable Pokémon. Travelers who want to participate in the competition can go over there to register." The host said, pointing to the staff not far away.

Then Xiaozhi and his group took their Pokémon to register, and after registration, they came to the swimming pool and started fishing...

"This feeling is..." Xiaoxia's float sank and the fishing rod kept bending. From the current situation, it seemed to be a big fish.

"Come up!" Xiaoxia pulled hard and pulled the hooked Magikarp out of the water. A huge Magikarp broke out of the water, but Xiaoxia had no intention of catching it. After all, such a big fish did not meet the standard...

Thump~

The Magikarp went back into the water, and Xiaoxia changed the bait and started fishing again.

.......

A small golden carp is happily playing with the anglers in the aquarium. It is a veteran actor and always enjoys playing with the anglers.

Suddenly, the Golden Carp King felt a little dazed, and then he found a favorite food not far away, and then he swam over quickly and swallowed the food in one gulp...

"It's hooked..." Xiaozhi said in surprise, and then he pulled hard and easily pulled the Magikarp out of the water. A petite golden Magikarp broke out of the water.

"Pikachu, use 10 volts!" Xiaozhi hurriedly gave the order.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu aimed at the Golden Magikarp in mid-air and released a high-voltage electric current, knocking the opponent unconscious before it could react.

"Go~ Rek Ball!" Xiaozhi aimed at the Golden Magikarp in mid-air and threw it. The Rek Ball hit the opponent's head accurately, and then turned into a red light and sucked it in. Then the Rek Ball returned to Xiaozhi's hand, shook it casually a few times and then stopped shaking.

"Xiaozhi, you are so lucky. You actually managed to catch the only golden Magikarp in the aquarium." Xiaoxia said enviously.

"Hehe~ Pikachu is my lucky star. I hit it with the Pikachu version of the bait." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"Pica~"

"If I had known earlier, I would have used the Psyduck version of the bait. Maybe I could have caught a golden carp as well." Xiaoxia said with some regret.

"There is no medicine for regret in the world~" Xiaozhi teased.

"Ding~ The competition time is up. Contestants, please go to the registration office to weigh in." As soon as Xiaozhi finished speaking, the loudspeaker on the cruise ship sounded the end of the competition.

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi and his group went to the registration office to line up to submit their results. After waiting for about twenty minutes, it was finally Xiaozhi's turn.

"Next, the last contestant will come up to weigh in." said the host.

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi brought Pikachu to the stage.

"Just release the Magikarp into this tank." the staff member said politely.

"Hmm~" Xiaozhi nodded and threw the Rek Ball: "Come out~ Magikarp!"

bang~

"Kong Kong~" The white light dissipated, and a carp king with a unique color jumped into the water tank.

"This is incredible! Xiaozhi actually got the Golden Magikarp. It looks like the mysterious gift belongs to him."

"Then let's see how heavy its Magikarp is and whether it can take home the championship as well."

"Satoshi's Magikarp weighs... 6.6 kilograms, making it the lightest Magikarp in this competition, so Satoshi is the champion of this fishing tournament. The awards will then be presented by the organizer of this tournament," the host announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome uncle held up the golden championship trophy and handed it to Xiaozhi: "Congratulations, Xiaozhi, this is your championship trophy."

"Thank you~" Xiaozhi took the championship trophy with a smile. He was very excited to feel the heavy trophy in his hand.

"As for the chocolate and Pokémon food, you can take them away, or you can send them to other places. I can send them for you." said the organizer.

"Then I'll trouble you~ Leave three portions of chocolate for me, and mail the rest to these places." Xiaozhi took out a list and handed it to the organizer. This list was the same as the one for the Firefly Party. As for the remaining three portions of chocolate, of course, they were shared with Xiaogang and Xiaoxia.

"Got it~ And this is the reward for catching a golden Magikarp." The organizer took the list and handed it to a nearby staff member, then took out a meteorite and handed it to Xiaozhi.

"Is this a meteorite?" Xiaozhi asked, looking at the oval-shaped meteorite in his hand.

"That's right~ It's a meteorite from outer space. We don't know what it does, but if you carry it with you, it will bring good luck to the holder." The organizer said vaguely.

"A meteorite that brings people luck?" Xiaozhi murmured thoughtfully, then put the meteorite and the trophy into his backpack, preparing to give them to Professor Oak for research when the chance arises.

"We have arrived at the port of Sinnoh region. Passengers who need to disembark please do so in a timely manner." A prompt sounded over the radio.

"Have we arrived at the Sinnoh region?" Xiaozhi muttered after hearing this, and then turned to the organizer and said: "I have arrived at my destination, so I will leave first."

"Please help yourself..." the organizer said with a smile.

Then Xiaozhi turned around and packed his luggage with Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, and left the luxury cruise ship.

The organizer watched Xiaozhi's figure leaving, then turned and came to a mysterious room. Suddenly, a vague figure emerged from a dark corner of the room.

"Boss, I have handed the meteorite to Xiaozhi." The organizer said respectfully.

"Oh? The other party doesn't have any suspicions, right?" asked the blurry figure.

"No~ I gave the meteorite to Xiaozhi as a prize for the competition, and told him that the meteorite can bring good luck. I think he will definitely carry the meteorite with him." The organizer replied.

"You did a good job~" The blurry figure nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the Pokémon standing nearby to release its control over the organizer.

"Gu~" The Pokémon that received the order released its control over the organizer the moment the blurry figure disappeared, and then also disappeared into the shadows.

"Huh? Why am I here? Wasn't I having dinner with my wife just now?" The organizer muttered in confusion.

"Forget it~ ignore him." The organizer couldn't think of a solution, so he gave up thinking and turned to leave the warehouse.

After the organizer left, the vague figure reappeared in the darkness: "Xiaozhi, this is all the help I can give you. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the real disaster comes, no one will be able to withstand it."

"As for Dark Arceus, it is just an appetizer. The real disaster is not something that Dark Arceus can compare to."

"After all, Dark Arceus is a disaster created by humans, but the real disaster came from that place..."

The blurry figure suddenly shuddered, as if remembering some terrible incident, and then disappeared into the warehouse...
