Chapter 36: Rods and relaxing

I swapped over Beedrill for Snorlax and went on my way down Route 12.

I came across a hut on the way. In there was a Fisherman. "Hey, do you like fishing?" he asked. I shook my head. "Well, you should get into it then!" He gave me a Super Rod. I thanked him and went out.

Well, since he gave it to me, I figured I might try it out. I went to the river and but the lure in. I waited and waited, when I suddenly felt a tug on the line. I pulled it up.

Krabby

098

Water Type

River Crab Pokémon

1'04"

14.3 lbs

Its pincers are not only powerful weapons, they are used for balance when walking sideways.

It was Snorlax's turn. It use Headbutt on Krabby. Krabby came back with Bubble, though it wasn't very powerful. Snorlax used one more Headbutt knocking Krabby out.

I walked down a little further; maybe there might be some variety in the Pokémon I find. I put my lure in again, lay down in the sun and shut my eyes.

I woke up and realised I had fallen asleep for two hours! I pulled up my lure. The bait was gone. Dang it, a Pokémon must have bitten it off.

It didn't matter to much though, one could argue that I didn't mind fishing too much now. There should be more bait at Fuchsia, I'm sure of it.

The next day I would go along Route 13, where many trainers hang out. Perfect for some training.
