Chapter 626 Wow! Golden legend!
Even though there are a lot of swimming fish and wild carp, the not-so-spacious stream is filled with their traces.
But this time, Luo Mu did not miss the golden light.
It would be better to say that it was because of what he heard from the monarch snake that he would always pay attention to the situation in the water.
Looking at the golden Magikarp that was mixed in with the Magikarp group, using their body size to cover up its existence, and then taking advantage of the chaos to take a few mouthfuls of feed.
Luo Mu exclaimed: "It really exists!"
At this time, the Magikarp had no idea that he had been exposed. He was flapping his tail happily, enjoying this long-lost underwater feast.
God knows how long it has been hungry in order to survive this long winter!
Because of the body's hardware, the brain cannot support Magikarp's overly complex thinking.
No matter how "smart" you are, there is a limit. At least at this moment, the Magikarp was completely unaware that this was an environment deliberately created by Luo Mu!
Well, Luo Mu was sure that he had deliberately used a large amount of bait to make a nest, and then attracted this golden legendary carp in one fell swoop!
No rebuttal will be accepted!
Luo Mu patted the Gyarados that was staring at a leafless tree out of boredom, and asked it with shining eyes: "Is that what you are looking for?"
"Roaring?"
Gyarados blinked, not reacting at first.
But when it looked in the direction of Luo Mu's finger, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it roared loudly at Luo Mu because of excitement.
"Roar!"
Yes, that's it!
It’s the golden look in my impression!
Gyarados could already imagine how happy Milotic would be after receiving the gift he prepared for it.
".You kid, you really don't treat it as your own kind."
Looking at Gyarados's excitement, Luo Mu was speechless.
Although I've heard that most Gyarados don't treat Magikarp as their own kind, it's still a bit awkward when I actually see it.
This probably has nothing to do with whether Magikarp is a different color or not.
Because Luo Mu could see it from Gyarados's eyes.
Whether it is the different-colored Magikarp that is madly eating the bait, or another group of normal-colored Magikarp.
Gyarados treated them all equally and didn't consider them as its own kind at all.
Luo Mu met the guy he had been waiting for for several months during his first visit.
It can be said that at this time Gyarados has been convinced by Luo Mu, and is looking at Luo Mu with an eager gaze, as if he is following his lead.
Boss, how do we get it up here?
"Can't you just swallow them in one gulp? Forget it. With your size and presence, you will definitely scare them away."
After all, Magikarp is also a "water dragon" with a speed rating of 80. If Gyarados rashly flies into the water, it is foreseeable that the gathered animals will scatter in all directions.
If you want to catch the escaping Golden Carp King inside, it would probably be a bit difficult.
At least judging from the current lineup of three Pokémon around him, Luo Mu feels that the chances of catching up are very slim.
As for who to contact for help, Luo Mu didn't think he could win the bet given that the other party might leave at any time.
In this case, there is only one answer.
Several plans flashed through Luo Mu's mind, and he finally locked on one of them.
"Come here, all three of you."
Luo Mu waved to Gyarados, Sister Hu Hu and Brother Hu Hu.
When they came close to him, he said, "We just need to do this and then that!"
“Roar!” “Sizzle!”
The three Pokémon's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were simply amazed at Luo Mu's idea!
"The key is you, Gyarados. Are you sure there's no problem?"
Luo Mu was quite relieved about sister Huhu and brother Huhu.
Especially since Brother Huhu has received training from himself, he is very good at the accuracy of his moves.
Sister Huhu also has a considerable degree of tacit understanding with it.
The only variable is Gyarados. This guy was captured from the Crystal Pool in the wild and has never been trained by a trainer. Luo Mu is not sure if it can do what he asks it to do.
"Roar!"
In response to Luo Mu's questioning, Gyarados did not protest emotionally. Instead, he looked into the stream with a rare firm expression and burning eyes.
It will work hard, but it will definitely succeed!
All for a gift to Minas!
As it feasted madly, the Magikarp, whose dull look in the eyes due to its size but showed a hint of agility compared to its peers, began to consider retreating.
Although it didn't understand much about this matter, it was aware that its appearance seemed to have a strong attraction to those bipedal upright apes.
Especially the one who couldn't even catch a small fish and had given himself a few extra meals was right by the stream.
Even though he was confident that he had the help of other Magikarp to conceal his whereabouts, the different-colored Magikarp still decided to quit while he was ahead.
Otherwise, we might really provoke Hong Wen, the bad guy on the shore, and it would be troublesome if we pump water without caring about it.
Magikarp, who vaguely remembered that he had almost fallen into trouble because of this incident before, decided to avoid such risks.
——But plans can never keep up with changes, not to mention that Magikarp’s “plan” can only be regarded as a smarter instinct at best.
Along with a roar that shook the hearts of fish, the ferocious aura that had been lingering nearby for a long time approached the shore rapidly.
In Magikarp's opinion, Gyarados was probably furious because the food in its territory was eaten, and it was easy to deal with.
When the opponent leaps into the stream, use the turbulence as cover and retreat quickly.
But this time, Gyarados's behavior was completely different from what Magikarp expected.
It did not rush into the stream in one breath, stirring up the water and making the scene chaotic.
Instead, he braked just at the shore just one step away from the stream. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the fish were intimidated by his aura, Gyarados swung his long tail and threw a purple whirlwind directly into the water!
Move "Tornado"!
However, this "Tornado" move is a version of Gyarados that suppresses its power as much as possible, so it will not directly beat a group of fish and make them lose their combat ability.
After all, Luo Mu would not be so cruel just for a different-colored Magikarp.
Perhaps it was due to the power of "love". Normally, Gyarados, who couldn't even control his emotions, let alone suppress his own strength, actually reduced the power of the tornado to the minimum.
What was left was a pure whirlwind. The moment the tornado rushed into the stream, it immediately splashed water all over the sky.
At the same time, under the influence of an upward force, countless dull-eyed Carp Kings and innocent freshwater fish were suddenly swept into the sky by the tornado!
This also includes the Golden Magikarp, who didn't have time to escape because Gyarados didn't play by the rules!
At this moment, the Magikarp that took off, whose brain contained almost nothing and could not think except eating, entered the sage mode, which was a rare occurrence.
who am I?
what am i doing?
Why am I in heaven?
In the dull and stupid fish eyes of the different-colored carp king, a flash of light that could be described as the birth and death of the universe flashed for a moment, and finally turned into an idea.
——So this is what it feels like to leap over the Dragon Gate.
Unfortunately, perhaps because of the help of external force, when Magikarp jumped to its maximum height, it could complete the unlocked evolution, but it was not triggered at this time.
After all, they neither swim upstream nor jump over high waterfalls under their own power.
Then, the colored Magikarp in the tornado that was about to turn into a waterspout due to the addition of water splashes discovered that a certain object was rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
Then, I was caught in the net.
Of course, this was not the tennis ball thrown by Luo Mu, because he didn't carry a Poké Ball with him at all.
——That was the "sticky net" spit out by brother Huhu and sister Huhu together!
The sticky net filled with sticky liquid accurately hit the colored carp king and also caught a few lucky fish.
This huge net was stickier than a spider web, so no matter how the Magikarp swung its body, it showed no sign of successfully breaking through.
"Gyarados, pull harder!"
Along with Luo Mu's excited shout, Gyarados also excitedly bit one end of the net. With its power, the sticky net that captured the Magikarp was easily pulled ashore.
It was not until it jumped back and forth on the muddy ground with few weeds and used the "Water Splash" engraved in its genes that the Magikarp's slow brain realized what it had encountered.
It was caught by this fisherman who always comes up empty-handed every time he fishes!
This is the greatest humiliation of my life. I can no longer stay in the Magikarp clan!
As he looked into the eyes of Luo Mu, the Hu Hu siblings, and Gyarados who had gathered around him, a line of clear tears silently flowed from the bulging eyes of the Magikarp.
Fortunately, Luo Mu does not have the ability to read minds, otherwise he would know how this seemingly dull colored Carp King was slandering him in his heart, and then there is a high probability that he would go into a rampage state.
At this moment, he was just happy that his plan had succeeded. After pulling the colorful Magikarp out of the sticky net, he lifted the Magikarp up with the same action as the baboon lifted Simba, as if he had obtained some rare treasure.
"Wow! Golden Legend!"
Even though it was covered in mud and slime from the sticky web, the Magikarp's glittering golden scales were still terrifyingly dazzling under the sunlight.
If it didn't move, someone might really mistake it for a golden Magikarp sculpture.
This hue and color are absolutely pure!
Gyarados seemed even more excited than Luo Mu.
Its persistent efforts finally paid off!
Gyarados can't wait to give this golden guy to Milotic!
After cleaning up the mess after the "fish fry" and making sure that the other carps were put back into the creek, Luo Mu packed up his fishing gear and prepared to go home.
However, in his empty bucket, a few plump freshwater fish appeared.
It was the first time for Luo Mu to do this, and he was a little nervous.
I don’t know whether the monarch snakes will discover that these fish were not caught by themselves, but fried.
No matter what, they will definitely be surprised that I am no longer in the Air Force!
The Huhu siblings didn't say much. At this moment, the silly Gyarados's mind was full of giving gifts to Milotic. As long as they didn't say anything, who would know the truth?
After lowering his head and laughing for a while, Luo Mu looked up at the Gyarados flying low beside him.
To be precise, it was looking at the golden Magikarp that was tied up in the curled tail of Gyarados with a look of "I'm already a salted fish, don't bother me" on its face.
Through Luo Mu's observation, he found that the beard of this golden carp king was a similar color to its shiny golden scales.
That is golden yellow.
The way to tell the gender of Magikarp is to judge by the color of its whiskers.
The male Magikarp, which is usually the same color as braised carp, has yellow whiskers, while the female's is white.
From this we can conclude that this different-colored Magikarp is a male.
Although Gyarados gave it to Milotic as a "gift", it will still be fed and well-nourished in the end.
If this guy evolves again, it is hard to say whether the red Gyarados with handsome red scales will win the favor of Milotic.
In Luo Mu's opinion, the silly Gyarados might have found a love rival for him!
It’s a pity that no matter what I say now, after waiting for two months and incurring huge sunk costs, Gyarados will never give up.
"Oh, I hope nothing will happen later."
Luo Mu sighed, then met the dull eyes of the strange-colored Magikarp again.
The other party glanced at him, then looked away with disdain.
Luo Mu: “.?”
No. Is this guy looking down on me?
Not to mention how indescribable the expression on Milotic's face was when he received the "gift" from Gyarados and looked at the living, colorful Magikarp.
And Gyarados was so silly that he kept smiling, thinking that his gift had touched Milotic.
It didn't even notice the resentful look that Milotic gave it, which said, "Do you want me to waste my energy bringing out another Gyarados?"
At noon, Luo Mu, who was "no longer in the Air Force", asked the soldiers in formation and almost all the kids to prepare a fish feast for him.
What about steamed fish, braised fish, and mullet flower soup?
It is indeed delicious. The steamed fish is tender and smooth in texture.
The braised fish has an authentic flavor, and the unique aroma of the sauce brings out the taste of the fish very well.
The mullet flower soup is even more divine. The sliced mullet flowers floating in the milky white soup are mouth-watering just by looking at it.
It was the meaningful expressions that Zhihuixing and the others showed when they looked at him that made the sweaty Luo Mu confused.
That’s not right. There shouldn’t be any channel for the news to leak out, right?
Besides, it has only been a short time since I came back. Even if the news leaked out, it would not be possible for them to hear it in a short time.
Luo Mu, who almost scared himself, took their looks as a sign of admiration for him.
Now, when I reach the Hoenn region with more rivers and seas, my well-honed fishing skills will be able to shine!
By then, maybe catching a Kyogre in front of Mikoli won't be a dream!
