"Young man, what's your name?"
Mr. Brian was a very kind old man with a kind smile on his face and asked Bai Feng's name.
"My name is Bai Feng, Mr. Brian."
Mr. Bryan nodded and said, "Yeah~ a good name."
At this time, Mr. Fu said, "Okay, do you really want us to stand at the door and talk?"
Mr. Brian glared at Mr. Fu, and then opened the door completely, smiling at Bai Feng and saying, "Come in, come in."
In this way, Bai Feng and Fu Ye were led into the house by Mr. Brian.
The furnishings of Mr. Bryan's residence are very simple. Apart from some necessary daily utensils, there are almost no special decorations, except for some large and small photos hanging on the wall.
All the photos are of Mr. Bryan with various water Pokémon. It can be seen that he really likes water Pokémon.
Suddenly Bai Feng saw another person in several photos, a little boy about the same age as him...
At this moment, Mr. Fu, who had already sat down on the sofa carelessly, asked, "Where is Zhimi? Not at home?"
Mr Bryan replied: "He's gone fishing and should be back soon."
Mr. Fu nodded, then looked at Bai Feng and said, "Zhimi is this guy's grandson. He is about the same age as you. We should be able to get along."
Zhimi...the name...
Before Bai Feng could think about it, he heard Mr. Brian say again: "Zhimi should be back soon. I'll introduce him to you."
Bai Feng nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of opening the door behind him. He couldn't help but turn around and look.
There is a string of wind chimes hanging in front of Mr. Bryan's house. When the door is opened, it will make a clear jingle sound. As the bell rings, a thin boy walks in the door.
The young man is about the same height as Bai Feng, has short light blond hair, and looks very similar to Mr. Brian. He is the young man Bai Feng saw in the photo just now.
Needless to say, he should be Mr. Brian's grandson Zhimi.
But Zhimi... This seems to be the name of one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Carlos region in the future. Bai Feng cannot tell whether they are the same person by their appearance, because this Zhimi is only a young boy at this time.
But the characteristics are consistent. Grandpa is a water Pokémon trainer and has blond hair.
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
The young man said as soon as he entered the door. Then he saw Bai Feng standing in the living room. He was stunned for a moment and stopped. After realizing that there were guests, he politely said to Bai Feng: "Hello."
"Hello." Bai Feng also responded.
"Zhimi, you're back!" Fu Ye said happily.
"Master Fu, it's you who are here!"
Only then did Zhimi see Master Fu sitting on the sofa. His tone was familiar, and he was obviously very familiar with Master Fu.
Behind Zhimi was a Cammy turtle, which was holding an iron bucket in its hand. It followed Zhimi very obediently and looked at Bai Feng with curious eyes.
Mr. Brian looked at the empty bucket in Cammy Turtle's hand and asked, "Still no harvest?"
Zhimi nodded and said, "No."
Mr. Brian turned to Bai Feng and explained: "Zhimi wanted to tame an iron-armed spear shrimp, but he went to the beach several times in a row, but never got anything."
Bai Feng nodded, and then heard Mr. Brian introduce himself to Zhimi: "This is Bai Feng, your junior, Mr. Fu, please get along well."
Zhimi nodded, looked at Bai Feng and smiled slightly, then looked at Master Fu and said, "Since Master Fu is here, let's stay for lunch. I will prepare it now."
Mr. Fu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'm just waiting for your words."
Mr. Bryan glared at him angrily and said, "Did you choose this time on purpose?"
Bai Feng felt strange and didn't quite understand what Mr. Brian meant, but he understood it completely during lunch.
Zhimi packed up her things and was about to go into the kitchen. Bai Feng saw this and said, "I'll go help too!"
Mr. Bryan quickly waved his hand and said, "I'll just go. There's no reason to ask the guests to help."
Master Fu quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, let Bai Feng go. Come and chat with me. I have something to tell you."
After hearing this, Mr. Brian had no choice but to stop stopping him and found an apron for Bai Feng. Judging from the size, it should be Zhimi's.
The apron is sky blue, with small white flowers printed on it, which is quite... cute...
When Bai Feng walked into the kitchen, Zhimi had already begun to work. He moved skillfully and neatly, and it was obvious from a glance that he often entered the kitchen.
What a good boy! Bai Feng sighed.
Zhimi is also wearing an apron, which seems to be the same style as Bai Feng's. Even the white flowers printed on it are exactly the same, but his apron is gray.
"Sorry to trouble you." Zhimi said to Bai Feng.
The two of them had just met each other, and neither of them were good at communicating, so it was inevitable that they would be a little awkward when they got along. They didn't know what to talk about, so they just immersed themselves in their work and hardly spoke during the whole process.
Bai Feng's cooking skills are average, so he can only help Zhimi with some tasks, such as washing vegetables and carrying things.
As time passed, an increasingly rich aroma came from the kitchen, and Bai Feng finally understood how good Zhimi's cooking skills were!
At the same time, he was also somewhat certain that this should be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kalos region in the future.
Because in addition to being the Four Heavenly Kings, Zhimi is also a very famous chef!
Soon, Zhimi and Bai Feng brought delicious dishes one after another to the table. Upon seeing this, Mr. Fu couldn't wait to sit down at the table and start eating, not treating himself as a guest at all.
"Zhimi's craftsmanship is still better!" Mr. Fu said with satisfaction.
Brian glared at Mr. Fu, then called to Bai Feng: "Sit down, everyone, sit down and eat."
Bai Feng nodded obediently and then sat next to Master Fu.
The dishes on the table were all very tempting, and Bai Feng didn't know where to start first.
Seeing Bai Feng not moving, Master Fu pushed a plate of sashimi made of Slowpoke tail in front of him and said to him: "Try this, it's Zhimi's specialty!"
Bai Feng knew that the tails of Slowpoke were edible. The tails of Slowpoke sold in the market were specially bred by others, but he had never eaten them before.
Because there are almost no nerves in the tail of a Slowpoke, they will not feel pain even if it is broken, which is similar to the feeling of a human haircut. And because it is so delicious, there are special breeding farms to raise Slowpoke, and then Slowpoke tails are sold as ingredients.
However, the qualifications of farms that raise Pokémon ingredients are very strict. The alliance even checks the frequency of cutting off Slowpoke's tails, the living environment of Slowpoke, the mental state of Slowpoke, etc. There are strict rules, and you can't do whatever you want.
Therefore, the number of such farms is very small, which also makes the sales price of Slowpoke tails prohibitive.
Not only the tail of Slowpoke, but also the rhizome of Lily Root Doll, the banana of Tropical Dragon, the saliva of Stinky Flower, the pulp of Sweet Bamboo, etc. These Pokémon foods are great if you want to breed them on a large scale. , then it must be strictly controlled by the alliance.
The tail of the Slowpoke in front of Bai Feng has been cut into meat slices of even thickness. The meat is transparent and bright, and it looks delicious.
He gently picked up a piece with a fork and put it into his mouth. An unprecedented umami taste exploded in Bai Feng's mouth. It was fragrant, tender, soft and smooth, without a trace of fishy smell. After swallowing, there was even a taste in his mouth. There is a special plant-like aroma remaining in the mouth.
Bai Feng couldn't find the words to praise such delicious food for a while.
At this time, he finally understood why Mr. Fu had to wait until noon to come over. This meal was worth it!
Although Zhimi is only so young, his cooking skills are already so superb that it is simply jaw-dropping.
Both Fu Ye and Bai Feng were extremely satisfied with this meal.
After finishing lunch, Bai Feng remembered the purpose of his visit today, so he quickly looked at Fu Ye.
Mr. Fu was chatting with Mr. Brian. After noticing Bai Feng's eyes, he just used his eyes to signal him to calm down.
Seeing this, Bai Feng had no choice but to obey Master Fu's arrangements.
Fu Ye looked at Zhimi and asked: "Zhimi, are you going to catch the iron-armed shrimp this afternoon?"
Zhimi replied: "That's the plan."
Hearing this, Mr. Fu suggested: "Why don't you let Bai Feng go with you? I happen to be discussing something with your grandfather. The two of you together may have a greater chance of conquering the Iron Arm Spear Shrimp."
Hearing this, Zhimi looked at Bai Feng and saw Bai Feng nodding in agreement before saying, "Okay, let's go together."
So Bai Feng and Zhimi rested at home for a while, then each carried a fishing rod and set off. Because Zhimi and his grandfather often went fishing at the beach, they had many spare fishing rods at home.
Zhimi was very familiar with this area and quickly led Bai Feng to find a suitable fishing location.
The coast here is covered with huge reefs. According to Zhimi, it is easier for the iron-armed spear shrimp to hide in this environment.
Before throwing the bait out, Zhimi released the turtle again.
"When we catch a Pokémon, we can ask the Pokémon around us to defeat it, so that we can conquer it," Zhimi explained.
Then he thought of something again, and said to Bai Feng again: "Are you a trainer? If not, I can lend you a Pokémon."
Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "No, I have it." After saying that, he released the Huayang Sea Lion.
"Come west!!!"
The Huayang sea lion was very happy to see the sea and shouted at the sea as soon as it came out.
Seeing this, Bai Feng warned it: "We are going fishing later, please be quiet, otherwise you will scare the Pokémon in the water, and we won't be able to catch anything."
Huayang Sea Lion quickly covered his mouth when he heard this, saying that he must keep quiet.
Seeing Bai Feng's Sea Lion, Zhimi was a little surprised and said, "You also have a water Pokémon!"
"Yes, this is the Huayang Sea Lion."
Bai Feng nodded in reply, and then introduced Zhimi and Cammy to the Huayang Sea Lion. The two water Pokémon even waved to each other.
After everything was ready, the two people started fishing officially.
Time passed by, and soon there was movement on Zhimi's fishhook. Zhimi was not in a hurry to close the rod, but waited for the underwater Pokémon to struggle for a while before starting to hold the fishing rod and pull it up.
Soon the underwater Pokémon's true appearance was revealed, and it was an ordinary Swordfish.
Seeing this, Zhimi was a little disappointed and didn't even continue to move. Finally, he let the iron gunfish struggle and fall back into the sea.
Zhimi's fishing skills are indeed very good. After letting go of the Ironfish, it didn't take long for him to catch Magikarp, Angora, Thousand Needlefish, Sun Coral and other Pokémon one after another.
Looking back at Bai Feng, he caught nothing.
This is extremely tragic.
However, all the Pokémon caught by Zhimi were released by him. His target was the Iron-armed Spear Shrimp, and it was useless to catch other Pokémon.
Bai Feng actually didn't have any Pokémon he wanted to tame. He mainly wanted to help Zhimi catch a Pokémon.
As time passed, Zhimi still gained something from time to time. Although he was released in the end, it could actually be said to have been a fruitful harvest.
Bai Feng only caught some dead branches and leaves, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Obviously Zhimi has taught him fishing skills, but why is there still no Pokémon taking the bait? Am I just that good at it? Bai Feng couldn't help but think.
Suddenly an idea occurred to him.
Bai Feng brought his space backpack, then took out the fruit from it, chopped the fruit into pieces with a knife, and finally threw the finely chopped fruit near his bait.
Zhimi looked at Bai Feng in surprise, but didn't say much. He sometimes used this method, but he didn't use tree fruits, but specially prepared Pokémon food that would be liked by water Pokémon. .
Are tree fruits really useful? Zhimi expressed doubts.
Facts have proved that the fruit of the tree is really useful. To be precise, the fruit of the white maple belt is useful.
After a short while, there was movement on his hook.
Bai Feng was a novice in fishing. He quickly imitated Zhimi's previous actions and quickly pulled a Pokémon out of the water.
The Pokémon was fiery red, with a pair of golden fins and a pair of big, round eyes. It was the most common Pokémon in the sea - Magikarp!
"Gu Gu Gu~"
Hanging on the other end of the fishing rod, King Carp was twisting his body in the air, and Bai Feng was stunned for a while.
Throwing Magikarp back into the sea, Bai Feng continued fishing. Since the first Pokémon took the bait, there will definitely be a second and third one, Bai Feng thought in his heart.
Indeed, the second Pokémon took the bait soon. Bai Feng was very happy, but when he pulled the Pokémon out of the water, he was dumbfounded.
Or Magikarp...
Then the third, fourth, and fifth were all Magikarp.
Bai Feng thought to himself: Could it be that the combination of fruit and pulp I threw in was so popular with Magikarp?
So he changed a few more berries, chopped them up again and threw them into the water.
It turns out that it was not the fruit, because after a while, it was a Magikarp that took the bait again!
