Chapter 150 It really is Magikarp!
Gangjie, who was sitting on the ground, quickly stood up at a speed that Lu An could hardly see. He methodically gathered his fishing line and gradually pulled the float, which was dozens of meters away, closer to him.
Upon seeing this, Lao Ba, who had once been known as the Golden University Air Force Duo with Gang Jie, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
In such a short time, Gangjie actually caught a fish?
What kind of fish is this? With so many boats coming back in turn and so much noise on the shore, how can it still bite?
In any case, this kind of mentally challenged fish can't be a rare species, right?
Luther's eyelids twitched.
However, the fact that he had more than a hundred points more than Gangjie's team gave him great confidence.
As I said before, as long as he doesn't catch a Gyarados or Kyogre, he's destined to be the winner of this match!
As for the other onlookers, they just watched with a "let's watch the show" attitude, observing Gang Jie skillfully and calmly pulling the float back to his side.
Since they had no hope of winning anyway, they naturally hoped for more twists and turns to make the ending of the game more dramatic.
As for the referees.
They glanced at the clock on the shore, which hadn't yet reached its full time, and silently watched everything unfold from the high platform.
"Gangjie, hurry, only six minutes left!"
Although Lu An joked around with Luther and the others for a long time, it didn't mean he forgot about the match time.
If you can fish up this unknown Pokémon within six minutes and successfully capture it, it will still count.
As the captain of the fishing team who believes that hurting men is wrong, Gangjie clearly understands this principle very well. Therefore, every time he reels in the fishing line, he appears very steady and powerful.
Closer, closer still.
As the struggling fishing float drew closer, the crowd on the shore rushed to the lakeside.
I wanted to see what this stupid fish, which kept biting the hook in the last few minutes of the game, actually looked like.
Even the pipa player who is half-concealed will eventually have to reveal her face, let alone the fish that has already taken the bait.
With Gang Jie's steady and skillful operation, the big fish ultimately could not escape his hook. With a slap of its tail on the lake surface, the big fish finally revealed itself.
The instant they saw the giant fish clearly, everyone involuntarily uttered a single syllable:
"Whoa!"
It was a voice of disgust that resonated in unison from every cell and molecule, from the soul to the body, from the heart to the brain, from the blood to the organs.
Because the red figure rolling around on the lake surface in pain from biting the hook was none other than a Magikarp that could survive even when thrown into sewage!
One of the most useless Pokémon in the world!
"After all that effort, all I ended up catching was just an ordinary carp. How boring."
"As expected, the only thing that can bite the hook in this environment is the Magikarp, whose brain is practically useless."
When everyone saw that what Gosuke had caught in front of everyone was actually a common carp, everyone showed expressions of disgust and disappointment.
Even Lao Ba, who didn't want Gang Jie's team to score higher than his own, had a strange feeling that "the ending was so absurdly bland."
Luther, whose heart was pounding because of the bobbing of the fishing float, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Steady!
Even if Gosuke were given five more Magikarp, they still wouldn't be able to shake his number one position.
Luther was already plotting how to get his hands on the Seadragon.
Even the originator of fishing, Gousuke, couldn't help but feel disappointed the moment he saw the Magikarp.
An overwhelming sense of desolation swept through his chest, almost suffocating him. Even the movement of reeling in the fishing line involuntarily stopped.
Just then, a large, well-defined hand, white as jade, gently rested on Gangjie's hand:
“Gangjie, this is the fish you caught. No matter what kind of fish it is, you should tame it first.”
Just as Jie turned his head, he saw Lu An looking at him with gentle eyes and a sense of certainty in his gaze.
Lu An's gaze quickly snapped Gang Jie out of his dejected mood.
Yes, he likes fishing, but not in order to catch any top-quality big fish.
He participated in the competition not really for that top-quality fishing rod that most people could only dream of.
Regardless of what kind of fish he catches, maintaining a love for fishing is the true mindset that a fishing enthusiast should have.
So what if he caught a king carp?
What is other people's husks is my treasure.
Having figured all this out, Gosuke quickly pulled himself out of his negative emotions.
He glanced gratefully at Lu An beside him, then decisively pulled out a Poké Ball he had prepared beforehand from behind his back and threw it at the Magikarp that was right in front of him.
Magikarp truly lives up to its reputation as one of the weakest Pokémon in the world.
Magikarp was almost powerless against Gangsuke's Poké Ball and was easily captured.
Lu An and Imai approached Gosuke from behind, who had just captured Magikarp, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Captain, you can decide on our team's third Pokémon."
Without wasting any words, Gosuke went to the weighing platform and handed his Poké Ball to the referee:
"That's the carp king I caught, of course."
After receiving confirmation from the three, the referee threw Magikarp into the weighing platform and glanced at the weight data:
"Magikarp, ten..."
at this time,
Just when everyone thought the dust had settled and that Gosuke and his two friends would leap from fourth to second place with a single Magikarp,
Lao Ba was destined to regretfully lose second place, feeling both disappointed and relieved at the same time.
While Luther silently resigned himself to the fact that first place would be his forever,
On the weighing platform, the Magikarp that Gonnosuke had easily captured with a single Poké Ball suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Takeshi was momentarily dumbfounded as he watched the Magikarp he had captured just seconds earlier glow brightly.
"It's evolved..."
The moment Lao Ba saw the Magikarp on the stage begin to emit its evolutionary glow, his previously complicated expression gave way to goosebumps.
The referee on the platform turned pale.
Luther, skilled in water magic, instantly shrank his pupils to the size of pinpoints.
The Swamp Monster, which had been hiding in the reeds to avoid Luther and the Mosquito Swimmer, quickly revealed itself and swam vigorously towards Lu An.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, the onlookers almost instantly erupted in a frenzy:
"Gyarados!"
Seemingly in response to the cheers of the crowd, the Gyarados, whose size had rapidly increased to six or seven meters after its evolution, easily broke through the transparent tank of the weighing platform.
He roared furiously at the crowd:
"Roar!!!"
