Chapter 127: Omni-Anime Pokémon: Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 56

It's best not to touch something unknown.

Luo Ge naturally didn't care; he casually stored the giant clam and the blood-red pearl together into his Pokémon backpack.

【Has it vanished? No, it must have been stored away.】

Kaobote thought silently in his heart.

"Luo Ge, you must be cautious with that thing; in fact, many people have died suddenly after obtaining strange items at 【Carter Port】."

"If you have any need, you can come to the shop to find me anytime."

After giving Kaobote a few words of warning, he bid farewell to Luo Ge and the others.

Watching Kaobote leave, Luo Ge felt slightly surprised; he had originally thought Kaobote would ask about Nido King and other matters.

Yet he seemed not to feel any confusion about this?

Could it be...

"Luo Ge, that old man was right; you still need to be careful. That pearl can probably absorb life force."

Bisji, being experienced as ever, guessed the gist at a glance and couldn't help but warn Luo Ge a few times.

Luo Ge nodded, indicating he would pay attention.

Setting aside other things, placing it in the Pokémon backpack is absolutely safe.

Holding the 【Super Rod】 in his hand, Luo Ge, having tasted success, wanted to cast the line a couple more times.

The first cast brought up a treasure; what would happen if he cast a few more times?

If he could catch some powerful marine creature, that would be good too; he was just lacking a marine mount.

"I'll go try fishing again."

Having spoken, Luo Ge went to the pier just now and continued his great fishing enterprise.

Bisji and the other two women stayed on the beach, watching the Eevees pile up sand after coming down from Luo Ge's shoulder.

Gastly quietly materialized from the air, looked at the sand pile Eevee had made, shook its fingers, and indicated it was no good.

"Bui?"

Eevee puffed out its cheeks, turned its head away, and refused to pay attention to Gastly; it had clearly piled it very well.

"Hehe."

Hearing this, Gastly's pale eyes glimmered slightly, and it extended two large hands to start building a castle.

It must be said that Gastly, with its large claws, built a castle much faster than Eevee; in a few moves, it created a rough shape.

Gastly nodded in satisfaction; its mysterious Ghost Lord was about to gain another title.

Let's call it "Beach King"!

On the other side,

Luo Ge glanced at the hook, pondered for a moment, then attached a suitably sized Pokéblock.

He could catch a giant clam without bait; what would happen if he added a Pokéblock as bait?

Whoosh—

With a casual flick, the bobber floated on the sea surface a short distance away, almost the same spot where the giant clam was caught just now.

After waiting two minutes, the bobber began to shake continuously, and a force traveled along the rod to Luo Ge's hand.

However, this force was obviously not as strong as last time.

With a slight effort from Luo Ge, the hooked fish traced an arc in the air and was directly caught in Luo Ge's arms.

The fish was about half a meter long, far lacking the visual impact of the giant clam.

It had blue fins; its body color was mainly earthy yellow and blue, with some pitted and rough marks on its body, like a muddy road.

Its fins were naturally tattered and very ugly; its appearance was truly too ugly, famous for its shabby look.

Luo Ge froze, looking at the strangely shaped fish in his hand; his heart gave a start, then was immediately filled with joy.

This was not an ordinary creature!

It was a Pokémon!

It was a relatively famous Water-type Pokémon—Feebas.

Feebas inhabits ponds with lots of water weeds and gathers in large numbers to live at the bottom of rivers with abundant water weeds.

Although the numbers are very large, they still gather in one place.

However, it can live in both oceans and rivers and possesses astonishing vitality, so catching one in the sea is considered normal.

Feebas, as the name suggests, has a rather ugly appearance; no matter how you look at it, you can't see much beauty.

Yet this kind of Pokémon has the miracle of a ugly duckling turning into a swan.

After Feebas evolves, it can become one of the most beautiful Pokémon—Milotic.

The difference in beauty between the two is vast, similar to the weak Magikarp evolving into the ferocious Gyarados.

Luo Ge naturally also likes Milotic; that flowing, graceful figure is like a noble spirit in the ocean.

While his thoughts were swirling, Luo Ge looked at the Feebas in his hand.

At this moment, the Feebas was also looking at Luo Ge; its round eyes showed a dazed expression, mixed with a few strands of timidity and inferiority.

It didn't really want to contact other creatures because it felt very inferior about its own appearance.

Marine creatures are generally beautiful, mainly having brilliant colorful bodies that make people intoxicated.

But Feebas is like an outlier; its body is pitted like the surface of the moon, and even its fins are tattered.

Furthermore, to survive, Feebas possess relatively strong vitality, enough to live in sewers like Corphish.

In the Pokémon World, Feebas is not a rare Pokémon, nor is it liked by the public; Shaoyouren Society rarely raises them.

However, in Luo Ge's case, this is not the situation.

As long as we can meet, it is fate.

Luo Ge stared silently at Feebas; in Feebas's eyes, the dullness gradually faded, replaced mostly by timidity.

Luo Ge first took out an Energy Cube, placed it at Feebas's mouth, and said softly, "Eat something."

"Mmm~"

Feebas blinked, let out a slightly low cry, and showed a look of longing.

The moment it entered its mouth, a sweet taste filled Feebas's mouth, and the timidity in its eyes turned to joy.

Seeing this, Luo Ge also showed a faint smile; after a brief pause, he took out a pure white Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball was exquisite and pure white; under the sun's rays, a glint of reflection appeared, filling it from head to tail with an extraordinary feeling.

This was the 【Cherish Ball】.

"Will you be my partner? The kind that lasts a lifetime." Luo Ge held the Cherish Ball and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Feebas hesitated; once again, a look of inferiority appeared in its eyes, and its body trembled slightly.

Luo Ge laughed, "Since you don't deny it, I'll take that as you're willing."

He held the Cherish Ball and tapped it lightly; Feebas turned into a beam of red light and was drawn inside.

The Cherish Ball didn't even shake once; very soon, a pleasant chime sounded.

"Ding-dong."

Feebas has been caught!

Luo Ge thought for a moment, took a larger bucket from his backpack, filled it with some seawater, and then placed Feebas inside.

He intended to introduce his new partner.

Coming to the beach, the others were gathered around Eevee, watching it build a sandcastle; noticing Luo Ge approaching with the bucket, they immediately felt curious.

"Did you catch anything?"

Bisigi asked curiously.

Hearing this, Luo Ge smiled, placed the bucket before everyone, and explained, "This isn't prey."

"Let me introduce you; this is also my Nen beast, and from now on, it will be our partner."

Bisigi and the others all looked into the bucket; in the clear seawater, a strange fish was plainly visible, with a somewhat unique appearance.

Another Nen beast?

But it seems to look a bit...

"This Nen beast... seems to look a bit unique?" Bisigi hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully.

She loved beautiful things; Feebas's appearance was truly something she couldn't bring herself to praise.

Machi hesitated, then also nodded, as if agreeing with Sigi's statement.

Compared to that, the Eevee beside them was much cuter and better-looking.

"So cute."

The First Concubine gazed silently at Feebas and quietly uttered a sentence, startling Bisigi and Machi greatly.

They could tell the First Concubine wasn't joking; that meant...

She really thought Feebas was cute?

Bisigi patted the First Concubine's shoulder and said helplessly, "First Concubine, I've always thought you were an extraordinary child."

"I never expected your taste to be equally unique."

Thinking carefully, it seemed the First Concubine had already shown tendencies in this regard in daily life.

Compared to Eevee, which was cute no matter how you looked at it, the First Concubine found Gastly and Nidoking cuter.

Those Bisigi could still understand, but this time she truly couldn't comprehend it.

The First Concubine didn't explain much; she simply replied, "Is that so? But I truly think it's very cute."

Having finished speaking, the First Concubine slowly reached out; her hand, smooth as congealed fat, gently stroked Feebas's forehead, and the two pairs of eyes met.

Gazing at the First Concubine's gentle look, the timidity in Feebas's eyes eased somewhat.

Seeing this scene, Luo Ge couldn't help but smile knowingly and said, "Don't underestimate Feebas."

"Its appearance may be lacking right now, but after evolution, it will be of ultimate beauty."

"The transformation between these states is something even a ugly duckling turning into a swan cannot describe."

"It will become the most beautiful existence."

"I firmly believe this."

According to the old version of the game, Feebas's evolution required meeting beauty requirements, or possessing the item 【Pretty Scale】.

However, in reality, something like "beauty" is too mysterious.

Perhaps if Feebas is confident enough, or overcomes its mental block, it can also evolve.

Bisigi and Machi were speechless; after all, they knew very little about Feebas and didn't know these things.

Yet they still found it hard to believe: such a Feebas, could it really become a creature of such beauty in the future?

"Alright, then we'll just quietly wait for that day to come."

Bisigi crossed her arms, nodded, and smiled at Feebas in the bucket.

They were not people who judged by appearance; at the same time, they could see Feebas's timidity.

Whether it can evolve into a beautiful creature or not doesn't matter.

Because it is already one of them.

What they need to do is help Feebas open its heart and integrate into their group.

"Bui-bui!"

Eevee lay by the bucket, looked at Feebas inside, blinked, and happily greeted it.

Surrounded by many people and Pokémon, Feebas spat out a few bubbles and didn't dare to speak.
