Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Fishing Competition is Over
---
"Look, what kind of Pokémon is this?"
Both Gary and Hilda were extremely curious about the first Pokémon that Rosa caught, so they hurried her.
"Okay, it'll be there soon!"
Rosa responded to Gary and Hilda while increasing the force on the fishing rod.
When Rosa pulled the fishing rod hard, a figure quickly jumped out of the water along with the hook and appeared in the sight of Gary and the others.
"Ah, how could it be a Magikarp!"
Rosa's excitement immediately waned when she saw that the Pokémon caught by the hook was actually a Magikarp.
"It's not bad if it's a Magikarp, at least it's a good start."
Originally, Gary was planning to laugh, but after seeing Rosa who was a little discouraged, he began to comfort her.
"Yeah, Rosa, maybe the next one will be better."
Seeing this, Hilda followed Gary and comforted Rosa.
"That's right, I've already caught one, and your fishing rods haven't moved yet, which is already one step ahead."
After hearing what Gary and Hilda said, Rosa's spirit immediately recovered, and she didn't forget to remind Gary and Hilda that they hadn't caught any Pokémon yet.
"Uh, shouldn't we be comforting her?"
After hearing Rosa's words that hurt him, Gary immediately looked at Hilda beside him.
"It should be."
Hilda also nodded in agreement.
After a little episode, Gary and the others continued their fishing trip.
In the next hour, Gary and the others also heard a lot of shouts from other places, including cheers from those who caught the Pokémon they wanted, and wails from those who caught Pokémon that were not so good.
Of course, Gary, Rosa, and Hilda also caught a lot of Pokémon during this period, but they were all Magikarp, Goldeen, etc., which were very common Pokémon with poor qualifications.
"I don't know if there are any precious Pokémon in this fish pond? Why are there only Magikarp!"
After Rosa threw the Magikarp she had just caught back into the fish pond, she held her chin up and looked listless.
"It's probably because of your bad luck."
At this time, Hilda's complaint made Rosa, who was already very disappointed, even more depressed.
"But I won't give up so easily, I will definitely catch a good Pokémon!"
Before Gary had time to comfort her, Rosa stood up immediately and encouraged herself.
"Okay, come on!"
Seeing Rosa who didn't need comfort, Gary continued to look at his fishing rod.
After Gary stared at the fishing rod for a while, the floating fish float on the water surface immediately trembled. This was clearly the rhythm of a Pokémon taking the bait!
After seeing this, Gary immediately raised his spirits and began to grasp the rhythm of fishing.
After the float was completely pulled into the water, Gary did not stand there, but immediately increased his strength.
With Gary's sudden pull, the Pokémon in the water was immediately pulled out, and a golden figure also appeared in front of everyone.
"This is... a Shiny Magikarp!"
After looking at the golden Magikarp that appeared on the fishhook, which was completely different from the ordinary Magikarp, Gary shouted in surprise.
Pokémon: Magikarp (Shiny)
Type: Water
Ability: Swift Swim
Gender: Male
Level: 18
Qualification: Champion
Moves: Splash, Tackle.
Especially after seeing that the golden Magikarp in front of him had the potential to be a champion, Gary was even more ecstatic.
So Gary, who was excited, immediately took out a Poké Ball and put the Shiny Magikarp that was constantly jumping on the ground into it.
In this way, Gary chose this golden Magikarp to participate in the final judging.
"Awesome, this is a Shiny Magikarp!"
Rosa, who was standing by, looked at Gary's Shiny Magikarp and her eyes widened.
"Congratulations, Gary."
Although Hilda was also surprised that Gary caught the golden Magikarp, she still stepped forward to congratulate him.
After congratulating Gary, Rosa continued to stare at her floating float on the water, hoping to catch a good Pokémon.
In the following time, Rosa and Hilda also caught a lot of Pokémon. Although most of them were Magikarp, there were also many other Pokémon.
For example, Hilda chose a Feebas with the qualification of a quasi-King.
As for Rosa, she also caught a Horsea with the qualification of a quasi-King near the end of the game.
After Rosa caught the Horsea, the time of the competition was exactly three hours.
So at the call of the competition staff, Gary and the others, along with many participants, walked towards the main venue of the competition.
After seeing all the participants return to the main venue, the host immediately stood up and announced: "Okay, the next step is to evaluate the Pokémon you chose. Please line up in order and release your Pokémon!"
Under the command of the on-site staff, all the participants also lined up and showed the Pokémon they caught to the three judges one by one.
The three judges also evaluated the Pokémon according to their rarity and status, and gave corresponding scores.
When it was Gary's turn, he decisively released his golden Magikarp.
When the Magikarp appeared, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath, and the shocked look in their eyes was difficult to dissipate for a while.
Even the referees Brawly, Nurse Joy, and Officer Jenny behaved in the same way.
The final result was also beyond doubt. The final winner was Gary and his golden Magikarp.
"The final winner has been selected. He is our Gary and his golden Magikarp!"
The Dewford Town Fishing Competition of this year was also announced in the words of the host.
"Let's applaud and congratulate him warmly!"
In the passionate words of the host, everyone present applauded and cheered for Gary.
When the host stretched out his hand and pressed down in the air, the applause stopped immediately. The host also continued his duties and hosted the end of the competition.
"Then at the end of the competition, it's time to award the prizes. I think everyone can't wait!"
"Yes!"
"Announce it quickly!"
Because the prizes for the winners were not announced before the competition, everyone present was very curious about it.
"Then let me tell you now, the prize for the final winner is..."
