Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 291 Wetland City and Fishing

Although the sun has gradually set, the days in summer are always long, so the sky is still blue with white clouds.

Aislo and Mary had been walking for a long time after leaving Suiyi Town. The humidity in the air told them that they were not far from their destination.

Soon, the two came to a wetland. The wetland was covered with water and reed-like plants swaying gracefully. In the distance, there were flocks of water birds and Pokémon. If you didn't know, you might think this was a coast somewhere.

If you look closely, you can even catch goldfish, Woob, and various Pokémon from underwater. It seems that there are many groups of Pokémon living here.

Moss covered the sound of footsteps, and the not-so-obvious fishy-sweet smell of humus penetrated into the nose.

Aislo felt that the air here was like a sponge soaked in water, moist and cool... Anyway, it would definitely be a good idea to come here in summer.

At this moment, several large Pokémon with light blue bodies like the sky slowly walked towards the two of them. Due to their somewhat bulky bodies, their steps on land were not fast, but their plump bodies and honest faces made them look quite cute.

The swamps and wetlands are quiet and peaceful, and the figure of the Swamp King is inevitable.

These big guys always win the favor of many people with their simple, docile character and cute appearance.

At this time, the two swamp kings who followed the warm breath that made the elves feel came also saw the appearance of Eslo and Mary clearly.

The swamp king walking in front blinked his little eyes and seemed a little surprised. It was obvious that he did not expect that the scent he liked very much came from a two-legged beast.

"Huh? ( ′╰╯` )" The Swamp King tilted his head and looked at Eslo, who also had a curious look on his face. After the young man blinked, the Swamp King opened his mouth and revealed a simple smile.

"It's Swamp King~" Marie touched the head of another Swamp King with a smile on her face. His smooth skin looked a bit like Vaporeon, but he didn't have the scales and ripples on Vaporeon's body.

"Hello~ We are travelers preparing to go to Wetland City." Aislo was attracted by the Swamp King's simple and healing smile, and couldn't help but touch the other's round cheek.

“Na~( ′╰╯` )” The Swamp King was still smiling. He and his companions looked at each other, then turned around and walked into the water. Their round bodies and fat tails floated on the water.

"This is..." Mary looked at the boy beside her with an inquiring look, asking whether her guess was correct.

"They are asking us if we need a ride." Aislo confirmed Mary's idea, then he put away the map on his mobile phone, and he and Mary sat on a Swamp King respectively.

"Na!"

As if reminded by something, the two swamp kings let out a light cry and began to swim on the water surface.

Although the Swamp Kings look clumsy, they are not slow at all in the water. In just a short while, they passed through the swamp called "Great Wetlands", and Eslo and Mary could see the city located on the edge of the wetlands from afar.

When they reached the shore, the swamp kings slowly stopped. The two men jumped off them and took out some snacks from their backpacks and handed them to the two adorable big guys.

"Hey~" Holding the snacks in his hand, the Swamp King did not forget to turn back and wave his hand as he walked away, saying goodbye.

After watching the two Swamp Kings go away, Aislo looked at the increasingly dark sky and said to Mary, "It's getting late. Let's go to the Wetlands City and rent a room for the night."

"Okay." Mary did not refuse. After all, it was not suitable to visit this city famous for its wetlands and bad frogs at such a late time.

By the way, more than ten years ago, Wetlands City was the only place in the entire Sinnoh region where Frogs were distributed. Although the problem of sparse distribution of many Pokémon has been improved to a certain extent after the Pokémons from various regions communicated and exchanged with each other in recent years, Frogs are still very rare in other places in the entire Sinnoh.

Without further ado, Aislo and Mary walked into the city that was traversed by several rivers.

The two came to the street, and the sound of gurgling water was still heard. The people of Wetland City relied on these rivers and the neighboring oceans to dig many canals. This made Wetland City the city with the second most developed waterways in the Sinnoh region, second only to Coastal City.

At the same time, most of the shops on the street sell fishing gear, hovercraft and other items. It can be seen that many people traveling here like to explore the swamp next to the city. This should also be the gathering place for many anglers in the Sinnoh region.

Taking their eyes off the surrounding shops, Aislo and Mary walked into the Pokémon Center together and rented two rooms in front of a machine.

After a brief farewell, the two walked into their own room.

Silent all night.

The next day, under the warm sunshine, Aislo walked towards the swamp with the fishing rod he got from Baiyang Town, while Mary, who was accompanying the boy, did not take anything. The experience in Shuangye Town had told her that as long as Aislo was around, no one around him would be able to catch any elves because they would all gather together to bite the boy's bait.

It really is worthy of the affinity of the stone slab... The girl sighed silently in her heart.

Not long after, Mary took out two stools from her backpack, picked one and sat down. There were almost no people near the place they chose, except for a burly man wearing only swimming trunks and a swimsuit who was making a nest not far from them.

Although the middle-aged man looked familiar, Eslo and Mary did not care about it. After Mary took out all the tools she needed and was about to organize her backpack, the puzzled voice of Moon Eevee came from beside her.

"Buey?" Moon Eevee looked at Eslo who was straightening his fishing hook with some confusion. She remembered that the fishing steps described in the mobile phone did not include this step.

However, her own two-legged beasts have always been smart and should not do anything meaningless, so driven by curiosity, Moon Eevee, who originally wanted to go to the big swamp that she had never seen before, decisively changed her mind. She wanted to watch Aislo fishing.

"After you straighten the fish hook, it won't hurt the Pokémon." Eslo explained to Moon Eevee and Marie who was looking at him with confusion. When he was fishing in Twinleaf Town before, Eslo found that the fish hooks would pierce the lips of some Pokémon. Although those cute little guys didn't say anything, the boy still felt that this was not good.

So, Aislo chose straight hook fishing - the reason for keeping the fish hook is that there needs to be something to put the bait on.
