Even Siebold was amused by the Magikarp that Eddie kept catching.
Siebold suggested: "I think it's not easy to catch Clauncher here, why don't we go to another place?"
Eddie thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. It wouldn't be possible that he would always catch Magikarp even if he changed places, right?
So the two of them packed up and were about to leave.
However, at this moment, the sea surface suddenly churned, and then the two saw one Magikarp after another floating to the surface, and they all spit in the direction of Eddie and Siebold.
This scene left the two of them puzzled.
What do these Magikarp want to do?
It would be fine if these Magikarp could fully express their meanings, but they could only stare with their big dull eyes and spit constantly, making it impossible for Eddie to understand what they were trying to express.
Originally, Eddie wanted to take Siebold away directly, but as a trainer who loves Water Pokémon, Siebold insisted on staying to find out the reasons for the abnormal behavior of the Magikarp.
But Magikarp was too stupid. All he did was spit and stare at the two of them. After a long time, they still didn't figure out what was going on.
Just when Siebold was about to give up, a roar suddenly came from the distance in the sea.
"roar!!!"
The sound was high and powerful, and you could tell at a glance that it came from a powerful Pokémon.
"That's Gyarados' cry!"
Siebold knew most Water-type Pokémon well, and instantly recognized which Pokémon the roar came from.
"Gyarados has a violent temper and can easily come into conflict with others, so we should be careful," Siebold said again.
Not long after, a ferocious-looking Pokémon suddenly emerged from the sea not far from the two of them. It was the overlord of the ocean - Gyarados.
However, before Eddie and Siebold could be surprised, another Gyarados emerged from the water.
Seeing this, Siebold tightened his grip on the Poké Ball at his waist and whispered to Eddie, "Do you have any problem dealing with a Gyarados?"
Eddie shook his head: "No problem."
The moment the two Gyarados saw Eddie, their eyes suddenly lit up. They swam over quickly and were next to Eddie and Siebold in the blink of an eye.
Siebold saw two Gyarados approaching and quickly took two steps back to stay alert.
"Gyar~Gyarados~"
"Gyara~"
At this time, the two Gyarados suddenly shouted at Eddie a few times.
After hearing what Gyarados meant, Eddie was stunned for a moment, then showed surprise.
"Are you the original Magikarp?" The two Gyarados nodded quickly, and even their ferocious faces turned kind.
Siebold was confused by the scene of Eddie and Gyarados having a pleasant conversation.
"So you've all evolved!" Eddie walked over to the two Gyarados and gently hugged their huge heads. "I never thought we'd meet again."
(っ╭╮)っ Brionne next to Eddie was also confused.
Who are these two guys? Why is Eddie so happy to see them? There are Pokémon around Eddie that I don't recognize?
"Gyara~Gyarados~"
"Gy~"
The two Gyarados explained to Eddie why they could meet again.
"What? You came here specifically to see me?" Eddie said in surprise.
It turned out that not long after they separated from Eddie, the remaining seven of the eight Magikarp also evolved one after another.
Because of the foundation laid by Eddie's Golden Finger, Gyarados grows much faster than ordinary Pokémon.
They used to live in dangerous deep sea areas, experiencing all kinds of life and death battles every day, so their strength became stronger and stronger.
But as time went by, they became more and more tired of the endless fighting at sea, and missed Eddie's health care for them more and more.
One day, when the eight Gyarados gathered together, one of them suddenly suggested: "Why don't we go find Eddie!"
Its proposal was instantly agreed by the other seven Gyarados.
So the eight Gyarados left the deep sea together, and followed the direction that Eddie left in their memory, and finally came to the coast near Coumarine City.
In fact, the eight Gyarados have been here for a year, but they have never met Eddie again.
In order to find Eddie, they worked together to subdue all the Magikarp nearby, trying to use the Magikarp to help monitor the coast in order to achieve the goal of finding Eddie.
The Magikarp didn't recognize Eddie, so the Gyarados caught a Gnathia Fish and let the Gnathia Fish use its psychic powers to invade their minds, remember the appearance of Eddie in their memories, and then use its psychic powers to transmit it to the Magikarp.
[TL: Dont know what a Gnathia fish is. If you know comment and i will change it, Thanks]
The reason why Eddie kept catching Magikarp today was because some Magikarp recognized him. They wanted to hold Eddie back and wait for the Gyarados to come.
While they were holding Eddie back, several Magikarp had already rushed to notify the Gyarados as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, although Eddie has grown a lot in the past few years, his previous appearance is still clearly recognizable, so Magikarp was able to recognize him smoothly.
When Eddie and Siebold proposed to leave, the Magikarp were afraid of losing Eddie, so they came out together to try to keep Eddie.
Because the eight Gyarados are not nearby, it will take time for them to get over.
After listening to Gyarados' explanation, Eddie's doubts were finally resolved. He wondered why he had such a strong affinity with Magikarp, and it turned out that the root of the problem was here.
Thinking that the Gyarados had gone to such great lengths to find him, Eddie was touched. He patted their heads gently and said:
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"Brio! Brionn! Brionne!" Eddie, who are they? Who are they?
At this time, Brionne finally couldn't help it, and asked anxiously.
Eddie then remembered that Brionne didn't know Gyarados and the others, so he introduced them to it: "This is Gyarados. It was when my mom and I left the island..."
Eddie told the Brionne how he, Selene and the Gyarados met.
Eddie and the Pokémon talked about his and Selene's life on the island, but he hardly mentioned the process of their journey from the island to Coumarine City, so most of the Pokémon at home didn't know about the existence of Gyarados.
Siebold didn't know Eddie's background and was confused when he heard Eddie talk about this. Seeing this, Eddie had no choice but to tell Siebold about how he and Selene walked out of the isolated island together.
Siebold was very surprised after hearing this. He heard his grandfather introduce Eddie as Ramos's junior, and thought Eddie was Ramos's relative. He didn't expect that the fact would be like this.
At the same time, he was also moved by the Gyarados' behavior of coming all the way to find Eddie.
What a sincere feeling! It's worthy of being my favorite Water Pokémon!
Now that the Gyarados have arrived, the Magikarp have dispersed one after another.
Because these two Gyarados were closer, they arrived earlier, and there were several others on the way, so Eddie stayed where he was and waited.
Since there was time, Eddie started chatting with the Gyarados. The Gyarados told Eddie about their adventures in the sea in recent years, and Eddie told them about his life in Coumarine City.
For a while, both sides chatted so much that they forgot the time.
At this time, Siebold no longer thought about taming the Clauncher. He sat quietly on a reef and listened to Eddie and the Gyarados telling each other about their experiences. He suddenly felt that his life was so peaceful, so peaceful that there was no ripple at all.
Eddie has been working hard over the years and has learned a lot of knowledge silently. Through his own efforts, he not only owns his own orchard, but also has greatly improved the living standards of the orphanage.
The Gyarados' adventures in the deep sea are even more magnificent. Just listening to their descriptions, Siebold feels thrilling.
If the eight Gyarados had not worked together and huddled together, they would have probably been buried in the boundless ocean long ago.
Thinking of this, Siebold suddenly wondered if he should try a new life?
Ever since his grandfather began his semi-retired life, Siebold moved to Coumarine City to live with his grandfather, and began training to be a Pokémon trainer under his grandfather's guidance, while studying cooking in his spare time.
He has been making rapid progress over the years, and his grandfather has always been very satisfied with him. But recently, Siebold suddenly felt that he seemed to have fallen into a certain low period. Whether it was his training as a Pokémon trainer or the improvement of his cooking skills, there was no obvious progress.
At this moment, Siebold felt that if he stayed in Coumarine City all the time and didn't see the outside world, then both his training as a trainer and his research in culinary arts might become stagnant.
Just as Siebold was lost in thought, the other six Gyarados finally arrived one after another.
When they met Eddie again, they were overwhelmed with emotions and roared excitedly, which scared the Pikipek and Wingull that were foraging on the beach.
After the reminiscing was over, Eddie looked at the Gyarados and asked, "Do you really want to come with me? Although I can afford to support you now, there is no vast ocean in my home for you to live in."
Eddie was afraid that the Gyarados were used to the free life in the sea, and would not be able to adapt if they suddenly went back to Mystic Mountain with him.
"Gyarados~"
"Gyarados~"
"Gyarados~"
…
The eight Gyarados nodded without hesitation, determined to go with Eddie.
Eddie smiled when he heard this: "In that case, you should follow me from now on. I won't let you go hungry."
"Gyarados~"
"Gyarados~"
…
The Gyarados cheered in unison.
At this moment, Eddie suddenly thought of something, and he said to Gyarados: "Do you know where there is a Clauncher? My friend wants to capture one."
Siebold, who was in deep thought, was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Eddie would still remember to help him subdue the Clauncher when they met again after a long separation.
"Gyara~" Leave it to us!
The boss Gyarados said, and without waiting for Eddie to react, it took the other seven Gyarados back into the sea.
Eddie and Siebold didn't have to wait too long. Soon, eight Gyarados came back together, each holding a struggling Clauncher in their mouths.
Puff puff puff~~~
Eight Gyarados threw eight Clauncher onto the reef, and then said to Eddie: "Come on, choose!"
Siebold was a little overwhelmed when looking at the eight jumping Clauncher. Were they so easy to catch?
Because this coast is close to human cities, there are almost no powerful Pokémon. After the eight Gyarados came here, they already knew the situation here very well. Naturally, they knew where the Clauncher lived.
In the end, Siebold chose the largest and most lively one.
"What should we do with the remaining seven?" Siebold asked Eddie.
After an afternoon of getting along, the two finally got rid of the awkward atmosphere at the beginning.
At this time, Brionne pulled Eddie.
"You want me to take them back?" Eddie asked in surprise, pointing at the seven Clauncher that were still jumping around.
"Brio~Brionne~"
The Brionne nodded.
It now has a strong sense of crisis. It originally thought that it was the Pokémon that had followed Eddie the longest besides Selene. It didn't expect that a Gyarados would suddenly appear, and there were eight of them at once!
Fear!
These eight Pokémon are all Water-type Pokémon. Doesn't this clash with its setting? Brionne feels that its position is in jeopardy.
In order to prevent the eight Gyarados from diverting Eddie's attention in the future, Brionne felt that he had to find a few helpers. The ones at home were all competitors, so it would be better to find them from outside.
These seven stupid guys in front of me are just right.
The role of Water-type Pokémon in the orchard is to water the animals. There are eight Gyarados, so if it recruits seven minions, there will be eight Pokémon in total, right?
Brionne was calculating in his mind.
[TL: The Scholar]
After listening to the suggestion of the Brionne, Eddie thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. In the future, the scale of his orchard would surely continue to expand, and the demand for Water-type Pokémon would naturally increase slowly. He might as well think of it as hiring employees in advance.
The characteristics of the Clauncher and their evolved Clawitzer are both super launchers, which makes them quite suitable as waterers.
"Okay, but since you want to keep them, they will be under your management from now on." Eddie said to the Brionne.
"Brio~Brionn~" Leave it to me!
Upon hearing this, the Brionne was secretly delighted, this was exactly what I wanted.
Then Eddie took out the Poké Ball and collected the eight Gyarados and seven Clauncher one by one. He didn't bring enough Poké Balls, so Siebold donated a few to him.
"Okay, we can go back now."
Seeing that it was getting late, Eddie said to Siebold.
"Well, let's go back." Siebold replied, today's mission has been successfully completed.
The two returned to Mr. Brian's house. Ramos and Mr. Brian were still chatting. When they saw the two enter the door, Mr. Brian said kindly:
"How was it? Did you have a good fishing trip?"
"Well, the harvest is good," Eddie nodded happily.
"We have tamed the Clauncher." Siebold looked a little absent-minded, and Brian noticed it, but didn't say much.
At this time, Ramos stood up and said, "It's getting late. Eddie and I should go back."
Mr. Brian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go away, go away, don't come next time!"
Ramos snorted, and left with Eddie without looking back.
After Ramos and Eddie left, Mr. Brian asked Siebold, "After spending the whole afternoon with Eddie, what do you think of him?"
"Very good," Siebold replied. If a Water-type Pokémon could care so much about him, he couldn't be a bad person.
Siebold also told his grandfather that Eddie was an orphan. He thought Eddie was very capable, so he admired him a little.
But Mr. Brian had already learned about this from Ramos.
After hearing Siebold answer, Mr. Brian said, "That's good."
Siebold asked in confusion, "What's the matter with Ramos bringing Eddie to see Grandpa today?"
"That old guy wants me to make energy cubes for Eddie's Pokémon."
"Did grandpa agree?" Siebold asked.
Brian is not only one of the Elite Four, but also a master who is very good at making energy cubes. However, not many people know the latter identity, and only a few people who are close to him know about it. Therefore, he never helps outsiders make energy cubes.
However, his old friend Ramos is an exception. Most of the energy blocks of Ramos's Pokémon are made by Mr. Brian.
"How can I not agree? We have been friends for decades!" Mr. Brian replied with a smile, "By the way, are you worried about something? What happened?" Mr. Brian asked again.
