The Chapter get Retranslated
Jiang Chen glanced at Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue, feeling a little uncomfortable sitting between them.
"Hmm, it's hooked."
"Most likely a Magikarp," Xiao Luoxue peered.
After reeling it in, Jiang Chen was speechless. Xiao Luoxue had indeed guessed correctly; it was a Magikarp.
"I've only been here for less than half an hour, and I've already caught three Magikarp."
Xiao Luoxue wasn't surprised at all to see a Magikarp.
Magikarp are numerous; their tracks can be seen in almost every body of water, and most of the Pokémon here are Magikarp.
There are many Magikarp, but unfortunately, not many can evolve into Gyarados.
Jiang Chen directly released the Magikarp he caught. This Magikarp's talent was too poor; it was basically impossible for it to evolve into a Gyarados.
If its talent had been good, Jiang Chen might not have minded catching this Magikarp.
Not long after, Ling Wanqiu also got a bite, and she too reeled in a Magikarp.
"Oh, this Magikarp you caught looks a little familiar."
Jiang Chen looked at the Magikarp Ling Wanqiu had caught.
"This is the one you caught just now. It still has a scar on its back."
Ling Wanqiu pointed to the scar on the Magikarp's back. It was exactly the same as the Magikarp Jiang Chen had caught earlier.
It had just been released, and now Ling Wanqiu had caught it again. This Magikarp was really unlucky.
Ling Wanqiu also chose to release the Magikarp, as she didn't want to catch it.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours passed. Jiang Chen went from being all smiles and full of confidence to now expressionless.
"What is this? Are there no other Pokémon? Why are they all Magikarp?"
He had caught more than a dozen, and all were Magikarp. Ling Wanqiu, at least, had caught Goldeen and Poliwag.
"Tsk tsk, is this the legendary Fishing Prince?"
"You're not doing much better than me."
Jiang Chen gave Xiao Luoxue an annoyed look.
"What did you just say?"
Looking at the ugly fish Xiao Luoxue had just caught, Jiang Chen's expression froze. Even Ling Wanqiu and the people around couldn't help but look over.
"It seems the news wasn't fake; there really are Feebas here."
Xiao Luoxue's face held a hint of triumph. She really had caught a Feebas.
"You lost. No, you all lost."
Earlier, they had been competing to see who could catch a Feebas, and Ling Wanqiu had also joined in. Clearly, they had lost.
Xiao Luoxue directly put the Feebas she caught into a Poké Ball. The Feebas had no ability to resist.
Catching a Feebas didn't even require battling; it simply had no combat ability.
"So we lost, it's fine, we didn't bet anything anyway." Jiang Chen didn't care.
Seeing Xiao Luoxue catch a Feebas reignited Jiang Chen's fighting spirit. Perhaps he could catch a Feebas too.
Ling Wanqiu's expression grew serious. If no one had caught a Feebas, it would have been fine, but since Xiao Luoxue did, she absolutely couldn't fall behind.
"Hahahaha."
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen suddenly burst into laughter.
Hearing Jiang Chen's loud laughter, Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu thought he had caught a Feebas and immediately looked over.
"I thought you caught a Feebas."
Seeing a Goldeen, Ling Wanqiu gave Jiang Chen a disdainful look. Was one Goldeen worth being so happy about? She didn't know how many she had already caught.
"This is a good start. I've only been catching Magikarp until now, and I finally caught one that isn't a Magikarp."
Jiang Chen felt that his luck might have turned around, until next time, he reeled in another Magikarp.
"Sigh, this really depends on luck, it has nothing to do with skill."
He had already given up on catching a Feebas.
If he really wanted a Feebas, there were other ways to get one, so why bother here? Jiang Chen simply decided to give up.
"I think you're right. It has nothing to do with fishing skill, it's mostly about luck."
Ling Wanqiu, seeing only Magikarp, Goldeen, or Poliwag, also gave up in her heart.
Her skill wasn't bad, but whether she could catch a Feebas was a matter of luck.
"Another Feebas."
Beside them, Xiao Luoxue stood up directly. Another Feebas had been caught by her.
"You didn't siphon off my luck, did you?"
Jiang Chen felt indignant. Was his luck worse than Xiao Luoxue's? She caught two Feebas, and his best record was a single Goldeen.
Actually, a Goldeen isn't necessarily better than a Magikarp. After evolving, Gyarados is much stronger than Seaking, the evolution of Goldeen. However, before evolving, a Goldeen is still more battle-ready than a Magikarp.
"If you call me 'big sister,' how about I give you a Feebas?" Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen, a smile playing on her lips.
"You underestimate me too much, don't you? Would I yield for a single Feebas?"
Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of disdain.
"But you are older, so calling you 'big sister' isn't a loss. Big sister, please give me a Feebas."
"Did you say I'm older?"
Xiao Luoxue's face instantly darkened.
She was indeed older than Jiang Chen, but only by less than two months. Jiang Chen's comment about her being "older" made it sound like she was truly ancient, which naturally made her uncomfortable.
"Ahem, Sister Luoxue, I was just joking."
"Hmph."
Xiao Luoxue lightly snorted, then threw the Poké Ball containing the Feebas towards Jiang Chen.
"Let's swap. I want the other one?" Jiang Chen said to Xiao Luoxue.
"Why?"
"Because I think that one has better talent potential, okay?"
"Tsk, I don't believe you can tell."
Xiao Luoxue lightly scoffed, then took out the Poké Ball containing the other Feebas and swapped with Jiang Chen.
"I really can tell," Jiang Chen thought to himself.
Actually, the Feebas Xiao Luoxue initially gave Jiang Chen had better talent. Conversely, the Feebas he wanted to swap for had very ordinary talent.
Since Xiao Luoxue was giving him a Feebas, he couldn't take the one with better talent.
For others, talent potential was fixed, but not for Jiang Chen. He happened to have a Talent Potential Boost Fruit, which could raise a Pokémon's talent to Elite Four-level.
Jiang Chen's other Pokémon's talent potential was at least Elite Four-level. This Talent Potential Boost Fruit was perfect for the Feebas.
