Elf: A bad trainer starts from farming

Chapter 51 Taking the "children" to fish for goldfish

As the shrine bell rang, all the lanterns in the Kitakami Center were lit up at almost the same time, and there were also the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums.

Suddenly, the entire Kitakami Center became lively, and many people catered to the atmosphere of the festival and put masks on their faces.

There are also many entertainment facilities stalls that open after the bell rings, even attracting some nearby wild Pokémon.

"Oh wow... so lively."

Mingyou stood up and looked at the people coming and going on the street in front of him. Although the festival was not particularly big, he still liked the atmosphere.

Just looking at everyone wearing light kimonos and him wearing regular clothes, I still feel a little out of place, especially when I see some tourists taking the kimonos they just bought and running to the fitting room to change.

Hmm...that's fine.

He didn't have many requirements for his appearance. In his previous life, he was criticized by his colleagues. As long as he dressed up a little, there would definitely be a bunch of girls chasing him. Of course... he didn't believe that such a thing existed.

"Let's go."

After asking the strange-horned deer to help look after the stall, Mingyou took Chun Chu's hand, and then led these "children" towards the crowd.

Latias jumped beside him, and Yuanlu Shark also followed behind nervously, for fear that he would accidentally lose him, and Smoocha, who had been hiding under the stall, finally flew out at this moment.

"Mouh~"

It landed on the little Kirbymon's head, but the scent of matcha emanating from its body attracted the little Kirbymon, and he subconsciously grabbed it.

"Don't make trouble."

Mingyou reacted quickly, grabbed the little Kirby, and then looked at Smoocha, feeling very happy in his heart: "Don't lose me. If you want to buy something, just tell me. Do you want a mask?" ?”

"No..."

The expression on the tea can suddenly changed. Do you need a mask? Just use the tea can.

"That's fine."

Since it didn't want a mask, Mingyou didn't force it, but they were all very curious about the appearance of Smoocha.

After all, only the little Kirby was there that day, and they even fought against a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks.

So Mingyou introduced it and said: "It is also a Pokémon that grandpa took in before. It used to live in a villa, but now it is here in Green Town, so get along well with it."

"Hmm~"

Fengchen grabbed the mask, carefully revealed half of his face, and greeted Smoocha.

Latias was also very interested in its tea can shape, and raised his young hands to take it off the little Kirby's head.

Originally, Smoocha wanted to avoid it, but looking at such a little girl, it still did not avoid it and was caught by Latias.

"Wuwu~"

so fragrant~

Latias was attracted by the scent of matcha, and Mingyu smiled, feeling quite relieved to see them getting along in harmony.

Then he pulled the ghost mask on his head to his face and said, "Let's go."

"Hmm~"

Everyone followed his footsteps and walked into the crowd. Now that some entertainment facilities were open for business, he must have gone there first.

Tongchen held his hand and looked around nervously, fearing that he would be accidentally discovered. However, after observing for a while, and even someone saw it but did not notice anything unusual, it finally smiled.

Then they came to a stall with the image of Magikarp hanging on the banner and playing with paper to catch goldfish. There were not many customers here, but there were many people watching the excitement.

There is a large blue inflatable pool with some regular goldfish, some Magikarp, and three "gold" fish!

[King Magikarp (different color): A fish Pokémon, living in a daze, with no worldly desires, and no affection for anyone, just like this]

"What a big deal, three different-colored Magikarp!"

Mingyu was shocked, but the rules on the side said that the goldfish caught could be taken away, but the Pokémon caught could not, which made him slightly regretful.

After all, if you think about it, how could you catch them? It’s just a gimmick to attract customers, and catching goldfish here... costs 10 yuan a time.

"Want to play?"

Mingyou looked at the "children". He didn't care. The main thing was to play with them, as long as they could play and be happy.

They looked at it curiously, mainly because they had never played it before. Finally, after Latias saw how others played, he was immediately attracted to it and expressed his desire to play.

"Okay." After Mingyu and the stall owner wearing a Slowpoke mask paid, they read the rules carefully and told Latias them all.

The rules of paper fishing for goldfish are very simple. You are given a paper net and an iron bowl. If the paper net is not broken, fish out as many goldfish as you can.

Both humans and Pokémon can participate, but the use of all abilities is prohibited. There is a wind chime hanging next to it, and any energy fluctuations will make a sound.

And there is also a small activity here, that is, after the goldfish fishing is completed, the prizes will be converted based on the points obtained in a single time.

A goldfish is counted as one point, a Magikarp is counted as one hundred points, and a golden Magikarp is counted as ten thousand points. The highest level special prize gift box here requires 10,000 points, which shows how difficult it is!
  "What a trap..."

Mingyu saw the trick and deliberately raised the score so that tourists could use paper nets to catch Magikarp. But how could Pokémon be the same as ordinary animals? Not to mention that Magikarp is much larger than ordinary goldfish.

Although it only costs 10 yuan a time, which is the price of a Poké Ball, and with the gimmick of fishing for Magikarp, not many people will fish for goldfish.

But Magikarp couldn't be caught, and the loss was greatly reduced in an instant. It's no wonder that so many people watched the fun.

"If you are cheated, you will be cheated..."

Mingyou didn't care anymore, and then helped Latias hold the iron bowl and watched her fish it out of the water with a paper net...the paper net broke.

"..."

Looking at the holed paper net, Latias fell into deep thought, suspecting that he might have done it improperly, so he looked at Mingyou and expressed that he still wanted to play.

"Okay, okay, do you want me to teach you?"

"Wu Wu!"

No, I'll do it myself!
  "Then take your time and play, don't be in a hurry."

Mingyou continued to help her buy paper nets, and then once, twice...five...twenty times, almost without exception, all were "cleared" by goldfish in one life. She spent more than two hundred yuan and didn't earn a single goldfish. return.

Even looking at the goldfish in the pool, she seemed to feel laughed at by them.

Latias...is angry!

What kind of crap is this? I've never had such a hard time catching fish in the sea before. I can't stand it... Look at me blowing up this inflatable pool with one punch!
  "Okay, okay~"

Mingyou smiled and pulled her back. Then he saw her hugging her legs autistically and squatting on the ground. Then she looked to her side and asked, "Is there anything else you want to play?"

"shark……"

Yuanlu Shark shook his head. It was too difficult to play. Why did he have to suffer this kind of torture?

Smoocha is a little interested, but rather than fishing for goldfish, it wants to sprinkle matcha powder into the pool. If it can't catch it... then don't catch it at all!
  Puppy is still hesitating. Although it wants to play, it feels that it can't play and has no confidence.

Finally, the little Kirby stood up, picked up a paper net, and swung it toward the pool at lightning speed. A red and white goldfish was easily picked up and fell into the iron bowl in Mingyou's hand.

"Amazing!"

"Gambi~"

It's a pity that he couldn't hear the praise. The little Kirby broke the net for the second time, which made Latias, who was in disbelief just now, instantly laugh.

Smoocha glanced at her silently...

Stop laughing if you have a record of 0/21...

In the end, I harvested a goldfish and put it into the bag filled with water. At the same time, I also successfully obtained the prize for one point...a small bag of blueberry-flavored magical candies.

"It's better than nothing..."

Mingyou gave the snacks to them, then looked at Tongchen and asked, "Want to play? I'll accompany you."

He saw that Chunhu seemed to want to play but was not confident, so he proposed to play together so that he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Hearing him say that he would accompany her, Tongchen nodded immediately. With Mingyou by his side, there was nothing to be afraid of!

Then Mingyou bought a paper net, then hugged Tongchen from behind, preparing to teach it how to play.

He is quite good at this thing. He had this activity in the orphanage in his previous life, but he has never played it in this life, so he may be a little rusty.

But at the moment when the rules were explained and he was about to let Tongchen swing the net, a shocked shout suddenly came from the front: "I actually caught it!"

"Ok?"

Mingyou and Mingyou looked up at the same time, and saw that across the pool, a girl wearing a cursed fox mask was holding a Zoroa with a paper net, and successfully fished out a Magikarp. …
