Finally, the Sharp-toothed Fish stopped struggling. Yu Hai seized the opportunity to pull the rod, dragging the Sharp-toothed Fish to the shore. Before he could catch his breath, he commanded the Poliwag, "Poliwag, quick, Chain Slap! Slap the Sharp-toothed Fish up here, hurry..."

"Yo yo!" The Poliwag immediately mustered its strength, secretly thinking it was finally its turn.

Pa pa pa, pa pa pa--

The Poliwag jumped directly, landing on the shore. It raised its tail towards the Sharp-toothed Fish on the sand and unleashed Chain Slap towards the beach, slapping the Sharp-toothed Fish onto the sand.

But after leaving the Water, the Sharp-toothed Fish immediately realized the danger. It didn't know where the strength came from, but it started struggling again.

At the same time, its eyes bulged, staring fixedly at the Poliwag, glaring angrily at the Poliwag that was slapping it.

Yu Hai saw that the Sharp-toothed Fish wasn't stunned yet and was about to flop back into the sea. But he was already exhausted and had no strength left. He could only shout loudly to the Poliwag again:

"Poliwag, keep using Chain Slap! Stun the Sharp-toothed Fish, hurry..."

Pa pa pa, pa pa pa--

After taking another hit from Chain Slap, the Sharp-toothed Fish not only didn't faint but became even angrier. Its large mouth with sharp teeth kept opening and closing, trying to bite the Poliwag's tail.

But a fish out of Water is like fish on a chopping board, it can't flop around for long.

The Poliwag saw that the Sharp-toothed Fish still dared to glare at it fiercely. It immediately went up and slapped it several more times with Chain Slap, directly knocking the Sharp-toothed Fish unconscious.

At this moment, Yu Hai also used his remaining strength to take out the Poké Ball he had picked up during the day.

One Poké Ball was used to capture the Poliwag. He took out another Poké Ball, rolled it towards the Poliwag, and shouted, "Poliwag, use this Poké Ball to capture the Sharp-toothed Fish."

The Poliwag, having been captured by a Poké Ball before, understood what a Poké Ball was.

"Yohoo, yohoo," the Poliwag, panting heavily, saw the Poké Ball rolling towards it. It raised its tail and slapped the Poké Ball with its tail, sending the Poké Ball towards the Sharp-toothed Fish.

Bang--

The Poké Ball hit the Sharp-toothed Fish, right on the button in the middle of the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball opened and shot out a beam of red light, hitting the Sharp-toothed Fish and drawing it into the Poké Ball.

Then, the Poké Ball began to shake, flashing red light.

Yu Hai and the Poliwag both stared intently at the flashing red light of the Poké Ball, fearing that the capture would fail and the Sharp-toothed Fish would suddenly jump out of the Poké Ball.

He was also prepared for the capture to fail. In that case, he would have the Poliwag beat up the Sharp-toothed Fish again.

After several shakes, a "thump" sounded, and the Poké Ball finally calmed down.

He knew the capture was successful this time!

With a big sigh of relief, the man and the Poliwag lay flat on the sand, not wanting to move. They were really too tired.

After fighting wits and courage with this fish for so long, Yu Hai's whole body was already soaked, and his hands and arms were completely exhausted. Now, even moving a finger hurt all over, a piercing pain.

He didn't recover from this until the sun went down. He struggled to sit up on the sand and reached out to grab the Poké Ball beside him, which the Poliwag had pushed over.

This little guy was also exhausted and had been panting heavily, but it recovered faster than him. They were both hungry. A man and a Poliwag starved like this, it would be strange if their physique was good.

However, this time it was enough to fill their stomachs. Next, they had to increase their food sources. Fishing was too mysterious and always ended in failure. It was not stable at all and not suitable as a stable and long-term food source.

Only with enough food could he train the Poliwag and increase the safety of his Desert Island Survival. He didn't want to be the first transmigrator to starve to death.

That was also a matter for tomorrow. He didn't want to think about it now, it would only make him hungrier faster.

After picking up the Poké Ball, he looked at the Proficiency Panel of the Sharp-toothed Fish.

[Sharp-toothed Fish] [Type: Water+Dark] [Gender: Male] [Potential: 29%] [Level: 7.32%] [Ability: Rough Skin/3.53%] [Learned Skills: (Leer/1.11%)(Bite/3.13%)(Rage/2.34%)]

"The potential isn't great, but it looks fierce and has a lot of strength," Yu Hai cursed inwardly. This guy had given him a hard time, and he thought it was a big catch.

Unexpectedly, it was also a weakling, a weakling stronger than him.

Now he finally knew why this Sharp-toothed Fish could frequently explode with power and why its stamina was so strong.

In a state of no strength and no resistance, it was slapped so many times by the Poliwag's Chain Slap without fainting.

This Sharp-toothed Fish's ability was Rough Skin, which could increase a certain amount of defense and also inflict counter-damage on the opponent.

Seeing the explanation of this ability, Yu Hai quickly shifted his gaze and looked at the Poliwag's feathery tail. There were some large and small wounds on the tail, and it was bleeding.

It should be the damage caused by the Sharp-toothed Fish's ability counter-attacking. He didn't have any healing medicine here and couldn't treat the Poliwag's injuries. He sighed helplessly and looked at the Sharp-toothed Fish's Skills again.

It was because of the Leer and Rage Skills that the Sharp-toothed Fish's struggle was so persistent.

No wonder the way the Sharp-toothed Fish glared at him made him feel that its gaze was a bit fierce and made him a little afraid. It turned out that the Sharp-toothed Fish was releasing Skills at him.

If hunger hadn't already filled him, he might have retreated out of fear and not dared to face the fierce Sharp-toothed Fish directly.

And the Rage Skill, if Rage hadn't prolonged the Sharp-toothed Fish's life, giving it a shot of adrenaline and causing it to explode with power, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

Alas, a fallen transmigrator is not as good as a fish, he had learned his lesson.

And there was Poliwag's injured tail. He had nothing here and couldn't treat Poliwag's injuries at all.

He could only give Poliwag a little more fish later; that was the most he could do.

He didn't know if coaxing this little guy to follow him was a blessing or a curse, but at least as long as he had food, the little guy wouldn't go hungry.

He didn't have much ability now and couldn't give the little guy anything, but when he had money in the future, he would definitely make it up to the little guy twice over.

As long as he had food, he wouldn't let the little guy go hungry. Even if he was hungry, he couldn't let the little guy go hungry.

To the best of his ability, he would definitely give the little guy the best. This was Yu Hai's promise. Although Poliwag didn't know or understand, he would never forget it.

Only adults knew the weight of a promise and were afraid to make one easily.

Yu Hai rarely made promises. A promise meant responsibility, and making weak Pokémon stronger was the responsibility of a Trainer. He would do his best to fulfill it.

"Yo yo," Poliwag saw Yu Hai looking at it with concern. It didn't understand what this human was worried about. Hadn't they already caught a large prey? Why wasn't this human happy?

"Yo yo? Yo yo?" Poliwag was puzzled and kept calling out to Yu Hai, coming to Yu Hai's hand, like a little kitten, constantly nuzzling Yu Hai's palm.

"It's nothing," Yu Hai said, shaking his head helplessly at Poliwag, who had taken the initiative to come to him. He immediately composed his expression, pressed the button in the middle of the Poké Ball, and released Sharp-toothed Fish.
