Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 853 A woman who knows how to be charming has the best life

Li Shuwen and Shirona rented a small wooden boat and sat side by side.

Li Shuwen held a fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line dangling into the deep blue lake water, swaying gently with the ripples.

Cynthia sat in front of him, her back against his chest, holding a pole in her hand, but she was clearly not paying attention.

She would look at the water, then at the distant mountains, and then look up at Li Shuwen's chin.

The fishing line suddenly moved.

Cynthia perked up and jerked her rod up.

The fishing line tightened, water splashed, and a red fish was pulled out of the water.

Magikarp.

Cynthia's lips drooped.

She looked at the Magikarp writhing in the air, her tone carrying a small, genuine hint of dissatisfaction:

"Why is it Magikarp again?"

With a flick of her wrist, the fishing rod trembled slightly, and the carp drew an arc in the air.

With a "splash," it fell back into the water, flicked its tail, and swam away.

Li Shuwen looked at her puffed-up profile and suppressed a laugh.

"The Lake of Rage is said to have originated from a Gyarados that controlled the weather, causing torrential rain that filled the crater and formed this super lake."

"Gyarados evolves from Magikarp, so naturally there are the most Magikarp in this lake."

Cynthia turned her head, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked up at him with her amber eyes.

His eyes held a kind of reckless, soft-hearted willfulness.

"I don't care. Use your waveguide power to see if there are any other fish in this lake."

Li Shuwen's lips curved slightly, and his voice became even softer:

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

He closed his eyes, and the power of wave guidance spread from his body, silently seeping into the lake water, spreading outwards like an invisible net.

The underwater world gradually became clearer in his perception.

Numerous Magikarp swam densely, like a red carpet at the bottom of the lake.

A few goldfish were scattered among the carp, their dorsal fins swaying slightly in the current.

The gunfish patrol in groups, moving at great speed.

The goldfish king's tail fin left a trail of water, while the octopus bucket floated slowly in the deeper water.

The lanternfish's head emitted a faint yellow light, and a group of mosquito coil tadpoles followed beside the electric lantern monster.

Trolls cling to the rocks, while starfish move slowly across the sand.

The needlefish kept its distance and darted around cautiously.

Then his senses continued to extend, and he saw several black seahorses poking their heads out from the seaweed, while a sea serpent coiled in the deeper waters.

Further away, the slender silhouette of a Hakkarosaurus glided past the edge of my senses, followed by a curled-up dwarf dragon sleeping in a crevice of an underwater rock.

"There are a large number of Magikarp, and a small number of Goldfish, Razorback Goldfish, King Goldfish, Octopus Barrel, Lanternfish, Lanternfish, Poliwag, Politoed Clam, Starfish, and Needlefish."

"Several seahorses, sea dragons, dragon lolis, and a miniature dragon."

Cynthia's eyes lit up. "Where can we fish for Horsea and Dratini? Let's row over there quickly!"

Li Shuwen picked up the oar, adjusted the direction, and the small boat slowly rowed towards the deeper part of the lake.

A faint smile remained on his face.

But before the waveguide force could be withdrawn, it inadvertently swept across an area on the northernmost side of the lakebed.

There is a man-made structure there.

The Rockets' underwater base.

Li Shuwen's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, and his paddling motion did not stop at all.

He reached for his phone, and under the cover of the boat's hull, quickly typed a message and sent it to A-Du:

"A Team Rocket base has been discovered underwater on the north side of Lake Rage. The location has been shared. Due to the large number of tourists, it has not been announced yet."

Send, then put the phone back in your pocket.

He picked up the oar again and glanced at Cynthia.

She was intently staring at the water, her lips slightly pursed, as if urging the seahorse to take the bait with her gaze.

Li Shuwen smiled slightly but did not disturb her.

Herona's fishing line was both heavy and light, and she tried several different baits, but the seahorse never took the bait.

She started pouting, shaking the fishing rod in her hand like a neglected cat expressing its dissatisfaction.

"Shuwen, can you help me check if they'll take this bait?"

Li Shuwen put down the oar and took out several items from his backpack.

Some dried fruit crumbs, some kind of grass powder, and a small bottle of shimmering liquid.

He mixed it in his hand, forming a small ball of light purple bait, and then pinched it onto Cynthia's hook.

"Try this."

Cynthia casts again.

Less than three minutes after the bait entered the water, the fishing line suddenly sank downwards.

She lifted the rod with practiced ease, splashing water as a black seahorse was pulled out of the water.

Its curled tail flicked in the air, and it still had half a piece of purple bait in its mouth.

Cynthia reached out and caught it, holding it in her arms.

The seahorse's tentacles gently touched her fingers, its eyes wide open, as if it hadn't yet figured out how it had ended up in someone's arms after going from the water.

Cynthia looked down at it, her smile impossible to hide.

She reached out and gently stroked the seahorse's head, fed it a small piece of food, and stroked its dorsal fin, saying "So cute!" a few times.

Then he bent down and put the black seahorse back into the water.

The black seahorse circled the surface of the water, flicked its tail, and then disappeared into the water.

She raised her head and looked expectantly at the water.

Unexpectedly, the dwarf dragon surfaced on its own.

The scales gleamed warmly in the sunlight, and the whiskers on its head swayed gently.

He seemed to be attracted by the smell of the bait, his whole body dangling not far from the water's surface, curiously observing the people on the boat.

Cynthia held her breath, slowly extending her hand, holding a handful of bait in her palm, and inching closer to the Dratini.

The Minidragon did not dodge.

It swam forward a short distance, then brought its head close to Cynthia's palm, gently pecked at the bait, chewed it, and then lowered its head to peck at it again.

Cynthia covered its little head with her other hand, her fingertips gently tracing its scales.

The dwarf dragon squinted its eyes but did not flinch.

"So cute." Cynthia's voice was very low, as if afraid of startling it. "So cute... so very cute..."

After the dwarf dragon finished eating all the bait in her palm, it tilted its head back and let out a satisfied burp.

Then it glanced at Cynthia, and without looking back, sank into the water.

Cynthia watched the direction it disappeared in, her hand still hovering above the water, reluctant to pull it back.

Li Shuwen began rowing back.

The small boat turned around and slowly headed towards the lake shore.

My phone vibrated.

Li Shuwen took it out with one hand and glanced at it; it was a message from Adu:

"Just arrived at the Lake of Rage. Let's meet at the restaurant tonight."

When she returned the boat to the rental office, Cynthia was adjusting her cuffs, which were slightly damp from the lake.

Li Shuwen walked beside him and casually said, "Come on, someone's treating us today."

Cynthia's eyes held a hint of insight.

"So you used your wave-guiding power just now not just to help me find the fish?"

Cynthia raised her hand in a gesture of disapproval:

"Let me guess, it's related to the Rockets...right?"

Li Shuwen reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose:

"My Cynthia is so smart."
