Jiang Chen glanced at Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue, sitting between them, feeling a bit awkward.

"Hmm, I got a bite."

"Probably a Magikarp." Xiao Luoxue glanced.

After reeling it in, Jiang Chen was speechless. Xiao Luoxue was right; it was indeed a Magikarp.

"I've been here for less than half an hour and I've already caught three Magikarp."

Xiao Luoxue wasn't surprised at all to see the Magikarp.

Magikarp are very numerous. Their tracks can be seen in almost every body of water, and most of the Pokémon here are Magikarp.

Magikarp are numerous, but unfortunately, not many can evolve into Gyarados.

Jiang Chen directly released the Magikarp he caught. This Magikarp's talent was too poor; it was basically impossible for it to evolve into a Gyarados.

If its talent were good, Jiang Chen might not have minded capturing this Magikarp.

Not long after, Ling Wanqiu also got a bite. What she caught was still a Magikarp.

"Huh, this Magikarp you caught looks a bit familiar."

Jiang Chen looked at the Magikarp that Ling Wanqiu had caught.

"This is the one you caught just now. It still has a scar on its body."

Ling Wanqiu pointed to the scar on the Magikarp's back. It was exactly the same as the Magikarp Jiang Chen had caught just now.

It had just been released, and it was caught by Ling Wanqiu again. This Magikarp was really unlucky.

The Magikarp was not captured, and Ling Wanqiu also chose to release it.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours passed. Jiang Chen went from being full of smiles and confidence to being expressionless.

"What the heck, are there no other Pokémon? Why are they all Magikarp?"

He caught over ten of them, and they were all Magikarp. At least Ling Wanqiu also caught Goldeen and Poliwag.

"Tsk tsk, is this the legendary Fishing Little Prince?"

"You're not doing any better than me."

Jiang Chen glared at Xiao Luoxue in dissatisfaction.

"What did you say just now?"

Looking at the ugly fish Xiao Luoxue had just caught, Jiang Chen's expression froze. Even Ling Wanqiu and the people around them couldn't help but look over.

"It seems the news wasn't fake. There really are Feebas here."

Xiao Luoxue had a hint of smugness on her face. She really caught a Feebas.

"You lost. No, you all lost."

Just now, they were competing to see who could catch a Feebas, and Ling Wanqiu also joined in. Obviously, they lost.

Xiao Luoxue directly put the Feebas she caught into a Poké Ball. Feebas had no ability to resist at all.

Capturing Feebas didn't require a battle at all. It had virtually no combat ability.

"So what if I lost? We didn't bet anything anyway," Jiang Chen didn't care.

Seeing Xiao Luoxue catch a Feebas, Jiang Chen's fighting spirit was rekindled. Perhaps he could also catch a Feebas.

Ling Wanqiu's expression became serious. It would have been fine if they hadn't caught any Feebas, but Xiao Luoxue did. She absolutely couldn't fall behind.

"Hahaha."

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen suddenly burst into laughter.

Hearing Jiang Chen's laughter, Xiao Luoxue and Ling Wanqiu thought Jiang Chen had caught a Feebas and immediately looked over.

"I thought you caught a Feebas."

Seeing a Goldeen, Ling Wanqiu gave Jiang Chen a disdainful look. Was a Goldeen worth being so happy about? She had already caught who knows how many.

"This is a good start. I've only been catching Magikarp before, and finally I've caught something that's not a Magikarp."

Jiang Chen felt that his luck was turning, until the next time, when he caught another Magikarp.

"Sigh, this depends on luck, not skill."

He had already given up on catching Feebas in his heart.

If he really wanted a Feebas, he could get it through other channels anyway. Why bother here? Jiang Chen just gave up.

"I think you're right. It has nothing to do with fishing skill; it's mostly about luck."

Ling Wanqiu looked at the stream of Goldeen and Poliwag, with the occasional Magikarp, and gave up in her heart as well.

Her skill wasn't bad either, but whether she could catch a Feebas was a matter of luck.

"Another Feebas."

Next to them, Xiao Luoxue stood up directly. Another Feebas was caught by her.

"You didn't suck away my luck, did you?"

Jiang Chen was unconvinced in his heart. Was his luck really worse than Xiao Luoxue's? She caught two Feebas, while his best record was a Goldeen.

In fact, Goldeen isn't necessarily better than Magikarp. After evolution, Gyarados is much stronger than Goldeen's evolution, Seaking. However, before evolution, Goldeen is still more capable in battle than Magikarp.

"If you call me 'Sister', how about I give you a Feebas?" Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen, a smile curling up at the corner of her mouth.

"You think too little of me. Would I yield for a Feebas?"

Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of disdain.

"But you are older than me, so calling you 'Sister' isn't a loss. Sister, give me a Feebas."

"You said I'm older?"

Xiao Luoxue's face instantly went from clear to cloudy.

She was indeed older than Jiang Chen, but only by less than two months. Jiang Chen's comment about her being "older" made it seem like she was really old, which naturally made her uncomfortable.

"Ahem, Sister Luoxue, I was just kidding."

"Hmph."

Xiao Luoxue snorted softly, then threw the Poké Ball containing the captured Feebas towards Jiang Chen.

"Let's swap. I want the other one?" Jiang Chen said to Xiao Luoxue.

"Why?"

"Because I think that one has good talent and potential, okay?"

"Tch, I don't believe you can tell."

Xiao Luoxue gave a soft 'tch', then took out the Poké Ball containing the other Feebas and exchanged it with Jiang Chen.

"I really can tell," Jiang Chen said in his heart.

In fact, the Feebas Xiao Luoxue originally gave to Jiang Chen had better talent. Conversely, the Feebas he wanted to swap with Xiao Luoxue had very ordinary talent.

Since Xiao Luoxue was giving him a Feebas, he didn't feel right taking the one with better talent.

To others, talent potential is fixed, but to Jiang Chen, it is not. He just happened to have a Talent Potential Enhancement Fruit on hand, which could raise a Pokémon's talent to the level of a Trainer King.

The talent potential of Jiang Chen's other Pokémon was at least Trainer King level. This Talent Potential Enhancement Fruit was just right for Feebas.
