"Another Feebas?"
Gu Qiu clicked his tongue.
Did he stab into a Feebas nest or something?
Was there really a need for them to line up one after another like this?
He sighed and casually glanced at its data—
Then instantly sat upright.
"Wait… I'm not seeing things, right?"
Pokémon: Feebas
Ability: Adaptability
Attribute: Water
Quality: Top-tier
Level: 23 (Normal)
Beauty: 70
Skills: Splash, Tackle
A Top-tier Feebas.
This was treasure.
Gu Qiu's eyes sharpened immediately.
"Kirlia, help me."
"Kirlu."
Kirlia obediently stepped forward, focusing on the struggling Feebas in the water.
From the stands:
"I bet he found a Feebas nest!"
"No way he hooks nine in a row!"
"Not just any Feebas," someone muttered.
"This one looks… lively."
"Yeah, sure."
"Kirlia, use Confusion."
Even Top-tier—
Feebas still had pitiful base stats.
It barely resisted before being subdued.
A staff member came over to register it.
He placed it on Cerulean Gym's Water-type quality scanner.
He blinked.
Then stared.
Then tested again.
Same result.
Top-tier Feebas.
His lips twitched.
What kind of luck was this?
Feebas were notoriously low-quality.
An earlier High-tier one was already shocking.
Now this?
According to the scoring rules:
Top-tier = 10,000 base
+500 per level
Level 23.
Total: 21,500 points.
If he uploaded this…
The staff hesitated.
Then followed protocol.
The score was recorded.
The leaderboard exploded.
Gu Qiu — 24,126 points.
Instantly first place.
Even higher than Misty.
The entire venue went silent.
"Score bug?"
"He only caught Feebas!"
"If that's real, I'll livestream myself doing a handstand while—"
The referee rushed over to confirm.
Tested again.
No error.
Top-tier Feebas.
Even Misty paused mid-cast.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
A Top-tier Feebas?
Gu Qiu… you're something else.
Now pressured, Misty began fishing seriously.
As Vice President of the Kanto Fishing Association—
Losing would be embarrassing.
But something strange happened.
After landing that Top-tier Feebas—
Gu Qiu seemed blessed.
High-tier Magikarp.
Mid-tier Horsea.
One after another.
His score skyrocketed like a rocket.
30,000.
40,000.
The crowd was numb.
When the two-hour tournament ended—
Everyone felt like they'd just watched a dream.
First Place: Gu Qiu
1 Top-tier
17 High-tier
20 Mid-tier
Countless Low-tier
Final Score: 51,234
Second Place: Misty
31,547 points.
Nearly 20,000 behind.
Misty's expression was complicated.
She had lost.
To a beginner.
She had watched his awkward casting earlier.
He clearly had no technique.
Third place?
6,453 points.
Not even comparable.
Tenth place?
3,125.
A completely different league.
The system notification rang instantly.
[Ding! Fishing Tournament Complete. Final Rank: 1st. Issuing rewards.]
[Ding! Host obtains Beginner-Level Psychic Power.]
[Ding! Host obtains Beauty Fruit ×1.]
[Ding! Host obtains System Special Energy Blocks (1 box) + permanent purchase access.]
[Ding! Host obtains 300,000 Poké-dollars.]
The rewards were generous.
Psychic powers?
Psychics existed in this world.
The most famous in Kanto—
Sabrina of Saffron Gym.
She awakened psychic abilities as a child.
Telekinesis.
Teleportation.
Even brief precognition.
"I wonder what Beginner-Level psychic ability includes…"
Too many people around to test it.
He'd experiment later at the hotel.
Thanks to his VIP card—
He was given a 200-square-meter top-floor suite.
Comfortable.
Spacious.
Perfect for testing abilities.
System-made Energy Blocks?
Guaranteed premium quality.
And permanent purchase access.
Very promising.
Then—
There was the Beauty Fruit.
Gu Qiu's expression turned strange.
The description clearly said:
"Increases a Pokémon's Beauty value."
Specifically for Feebas.
Feebas evolves into Milotic in two ways:
Level up while holding a Prism Scale (evolution item).Raise Beauty to 170+ and then level up.
The Feebas he caught had Beauty 70.
Extremely low.
The question was—
How much would one Beauty Fruit increase?
Gu Qiu's eyes narrowed.
If this worked—
He might just shock the entire Pokémon world.
