Pokémon: Yunxiao

"That's great, meow. Yunxiao, when are you going to catch a fish too?"

Seeing Xiaosheng full of joy, Miaomiao was envious, and then looked at Yunxiao who was motionless.

"It's almost done. I even caught Mr. Suzumura's fish in the first place. It will only take me a few minutes to catch this sea fish."

Yun Xiao said it without any concern. Hearing Yun Xiao's tone of assurance, Miaomiao had no choice but to wait by the side.

"I got it, I got it, I caught a fish too!"

At this moment, Xiaoyao's fishing rod began to move. As soon as Xiaoyao finished shouting, she used all her strength to compete with the sea fish. Lin Bo, who was originally helping Xiaosheng, immediately ran to Xiaoyao's side.

"Quick, use the electric wheels."

Uncle Lin was overjoyed and held Xiaoyao's fishing rod tightly with both hands to prevent the sea fish below from escaping.

Xiaoyao quickly turned on the electric wheel, and with the help of the electric wheel, Xiaoyao was much easier to pull. Seeing that Xiaoyao had stabilized, Lin Bo returned to Xiaosheng's side to help.

"It's so heavy, it's totally different from when I was fishing for Pokémon!"

Xiaosheng held the fishing rod with great effort. He felt that fishing for this sea fish was even harder than catching Pokémon.

"Of course. When you fish for Pokémon, they usually follow the direction of the fishing rod, but these sea fish are very cunning and will fight you in the opposite direction. Don't worry, wait until it gets tired and then pull it up."

While helping Xiaosheng, Lin Bo held the hook in his other hand. After Xiaosheng pulled the big fish up and cleaned its gills, he pulled it up in one go.

"It's coming up. It's so big. What kind of fish is this, Uncle Lin?"

Looking at the red figure gradually rising, Xiaosheng was extremely excited.

This big fish has an oblong body that is slightly laterally flattened; it has a large mouth with an accessory maxilla, thin and pointed teeth, some of which are enlarged into canines; its body is covered with small ctenoid scales, which are sometimes buried under the skin; its dorsal and anal fins are well developed, and its caudal fin is round or concave; its body color varies greatly, often being brown or red, with stripes and spots.

"Oh my god, you are so lucky, Xiaosheng. The first one is a leopard gill perch. It is a grouper. It tastes amazing when made into grouper rice or grilled grouper steaks!"

As expected of a local fisherman, Uncle Lin recognized the species of fish Xiaosheng was fishing for at a glance, and according to Uncle Lin, this leopard gill perch weighed at least 30 kilograms.

"Really? That's great!"

Xiaosheng pulled the leopard gill perch over, and Lin Bo hooked it quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and immediately bled the fish.

"The blood of marine fish has a strong fishy smell. Bleeding deep-sea fish immediately after being caught can reduce the fishy smell of the meat, making the fish meat more delicious and improving the taste."

Uncle Lin also explained to everyone why the sea fish caught by Xiaosheng had to be bled, and everyone nodded in understanding.

Xiaosheng seemed particularly excited about the first big fish he caught, and Miaomiao, who was watching the fun, also came over.

There is no cat that doesn’t like fish. When it saw this big grouper, the cat could hardly hold back its saliva from the corners of its mouth.

"Meow meow, don't be anxious. Let's grill the fish fillets and eat them at noon."

Xiaosheng obviously noticed Miaomiao's desire to eat, and hurriedly comforted her. After all, they had just finished breakfast not long ago, and it would be a waste if they couldn't finish the big grouper now.

"I get it, meow. Xiaosheng, you're really awesome."

Miaomiao nodded, then praised Xiaosheng. Xiaosheng was quite happy to hear that. Then Miaomiao returned to Yunxiao again.

At this time, the tug-of-war between Xiaoyao and the big fish was gradually coming to an end. She could already feel that the big fish's struggling strength was gradually decreasing.

"Sister, come on. I'll be coming up soon."

Xiaosheng, who had just caught a fish, did not immediately start the second round of sea fishing. He had used a lot of energy when fishing for the big grouper, so Xiaosheng planned to rest for a while.

At this moment, Xiaoyao had no time to respond to Xiaosheng. He just nodded hurriedly and pulled the fishing rod hard, and then the head of the big fish emerged from the water.

"Oh my god, it's another giant grouper. What a lucky pair of siblings."

Uncle Lin immediately exclaimed, have the brother and sister entered the grouper's nest?

The grouper that Xiaoyao caught this time was a tiger grouper, with a yellow to light brown body. It got its name because of the thin and sharp teeth on both sides of its mouth, which are inverted like a tiger's mouth. It has strong vitality and is easy to pack and transport.

When Uncle Lin used the hook to pull the grouper up, he did not choose to bleed it, but threw it directly into the survival chamber. Because of its strong vitality, there was no need to worry about it dying.

After that, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang's fishing rods all made some movements, except Yunxiao's fishing rod, which showed no movement at all.

"Yun Xiao, they have all caught fish."

Meowth didn't want to discourage Yun Xiao too much, but seeing that Xiaozhi and the others also caught fish, Meowth was a little envious.

"I know, but don't worry, Meow Meow, I even caught Mr. Suzumura's fish. It's just a deep-sea fish, isn't it easy for me to catch it?"

Yun Xiao still didn't care and quickly comforted Miaomiao not to worry, saying that what a fisherman needs most is to remain calm.

What Xiaozhi caught was a blue humphead wrasse. According to Uncle Lin, this kind of fish has delicious meat and is very suitable for sashimi.

Its eyes are small and located on the upper side of the head. The space between the two eyes is very bulging. The body is elongated and long oval. The head outline is straight from the back to the eyes, and then bulges. The forehead of the adult fish is prominent. The mouth is large and obliquely cleft. The upper and lower jaws each have a row of conical teeth, and each has a pair of large canine teeth at the front. The edge of the preoperculum is serrated. The body is covered with large round scales.

The tail fin has a rounded end, the head and neck are dark green, the sides are yellow-green, and the back half of the body has dark wavy horizontal stripes. Juvenile fish are dark blue, with a light head and abdomen with many fine vermilion lines, and purple horizontal stripes on the end of the scales of the body. There are two parallel black bands on the head passing through the eyes.

What Xiaogang caught was a red snapper, commonly known as red snapper, red amberjack, red snapper, and red mullet.

The body is oblong, slightly flattened laterally, and rounded ventrally; the adult fish has a variable body color, with a blue-gray or olive back, sometimes with a pink luster.

It has the effects of warming the stomach and middle, calming down the liver yang, dispelling wind, curing arthritis, stopping malaria, benefiting the intestines and improving eyesight; it is mainly used to treat asthenia, wind deficiency headache, hyperactivity of liver yang, hypertension, headache, and chronic malaria. The most important thing is that it is very delicious when used to make sashimi.

"Good job, Xiao Gang."

"You're pretty good, too, Xiaozhi."

Xiaogang and Xiaozhi bumped fists with each other. The two fish they caught were big, which was enough to satisfy their cravings for the next two days. Add to that the grouper caught by Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng, and they would have enough to eat later in the journey even if they didn't catch anything.

After all, Xiaogang always carries a small refrigerator for frozen seafood in his backpack, so there is absolutely no problem using it to refrigerate these sea fish.

Meow Meow also walked over to take a look with envy. After learning that Xiaozhi was going to send his blue-browed fish to the kitchen to be made into sashimi, Meow Meow jumped up excitedly. Then, seeing that Yun Xiao was still working hard, he ran back to Yun Xiao's side.

After a rest, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng took a look at the fish caught by Xiaogang and Xiaozhi, then returned to their own battlefields and began working hard to catch the second fish.

"I'll trade Daigo ten years of not being able to dig up a good rock for a fish bigger than Satoshi and Brock."

Yun Xiao was muttering to himself, and although he was trying to be strong because he failed to catch a single fish, he was already panicking inside.
