Looking at the Sharp-toothed Fish on the sand, Yu Hai excitedly smiled at Poliwag, "Poliwag, the Sharp-toothed Fish weighs forty pounds. After removing the bones and organs, there's still thirty pounds of meat, enough for us to eat for several days. If we can't finish it, we can make jerky to store."
"Yoyo? (^o^) Yoyo," Poliwag didn't understand why Yu Hai, this human, was frowning just now but is now so happy.
But seeing Yu Hai happy, it didn't know why, but it was also very happy, and even jumped up cheerfully.
This Sharp-toothed Fish didn't look very big, about half a meter, obviously not reaching the official setting of 0.8 meters, still in its juvenile stage, and not even forty pounds.
However, after removing the organs and bones, there would still be more than ten to twenty pounds.
The Sharp-toothed Fish is classified as a ferocious Pokémon, with a blue back and a red abdomen. Its fins, except for the tail fin, are mostly yellow, like rows of barbs, standing around its body, with a star pattern on its abdomen.
This carnivorous Pokémon is very fierce, with developed lower jaws and sharp teeth, possessing the destructive power to Crunch through the bottom of a ship.
Even the slightest smell of blood can be detected, and they attack prey in swarms. Many ships have sunk due to Sharp-toothed Fish attacks.
Next, taking advantage of the fact that this fierce Sharp-toothed Fish was still in a coma, Yu Hai began to process the fish. The organs and other things were buried in the sand, and he could dig them out tomorrow to use as bait.
This time, he wouldn't let those Kingler freeload on the fish organ fragments, as it was related to their future food source.
Although lure fishing had proven to be feasible, it was too mysterious, and whether or not they would bite depended entirely on luck.
He had seen through luck and didn't want to rely on damn luck for food anymore. A fisherman wants to catch fish; he doesn't want to go home empty-handed.
After processing the Sharp-toothed Fish, he cut it in half and grilled it all on the fire.
He had been starving for days and couldn't control his appetite well, only wanting to eat his fill.
And Poliwag, this little glutton, as a Pokémon, should be able to eat even more.
However, Yu Hai, who had watched Pokémon anime, remembered that Poliwag seemed to eat grass, some kind of Water grass, which had appeared in the anime.
But there was grass everywhere here, and he didn't know which kind of Water grass Poliwag ate, or if it ate all kinds of Water grass.
Moreover, this Poliwag might have some kind of anorexia or other illness, otherwise it wouldn't be so hungry.
Or maybe Poliwag didn't dare to go into the sea, fearing being preyed upon by more ferocious Pokémon in the sea, which was also possible.
There were too many questions, and he didn't know, nor did he have the strength to study them, and could only wait until things stabilized in the future.
The top priority now was to grill the Sharp-toothed Fish, so they, one human and one Poliwag, could have a good meal.
It wasn't until the Sharp-toothed Fish was grilled to a crispy golden brown that Yu Hai took it off the grill, unable to help but sniff, smelling the aroma of the grilled fish.
It couldn't be said that this grilled fish was very delicious, only barely reaching an edible level.
The reason he found the grilled fish sweet and delicious was entirely due to the contrast of hunger. When extremely hungry, as long as it was food, it was delicious. This grilled fish had only been eaten for two meals, and it had already made him feel hot inside.
In a state of extreme water shortage, eating grilled food made him extremely thirsty for fresh Water .
Tomorrow, he had to find fresh Water . The morning dew was no longer keeping up with his needs, and he had to find a stable source of fresh Water .
Before grilling the fish, he had divided the Sharp-toothed Fish into two halves to grill. His half was cooked, and Poliwag's half should also be cooked.
Taking it off the grill, he placed the other half of the grilled fish in front of Poliwag, with a huge leaf underneath the grilled fish.
Looking at the fragrant grilled fish in front of it, since Poliwag didn't have hands, it could only lie on the leaf and tear at the fish with its mouth.
Seeing Poliwag start eating, Yu Hai also started eating the fish in his hand. One human and one Poliwag had been hungry for a day, and he was already seeing stars from hunger, immediately tearing into the fish, eating with a mouth full of oil.
One human and one Poliwag sat by the fire, both devouring the grilled fish. Yu Hai only ate half of it and started to Belch.
This Belch indicated that he was almost full, but there was still half of the fish left. He planned to dry it by the fire and save it for breakfast tomorrow morning.
But when he looked at Poliwag's leaf, there was nothing left. Poliwag was still licking the fish residue on the leaf.
Seeing this scene, he didn't dry his fish or save it for breakfast, but put it on Poliwag's leaf.
"Yoyo? Yoyo?" Poliwag blinked its big black eyes. Its fish was clearly finished, so why did a piece of grilled fish suddenly appear?
It wasn't until Poliwag saw the hand that put down the fish, a human hand, that it didn't understand what this human meant.
"I'm full, this is for you, eat it quickly," Yu Hai didn't know if Poliwag could understand, but after explaining to Poliwag, he added firewood to the fire and leaned back against the boulder with his hands behind his head.
Today, he no longer had to use the sky as a blanket, nor could he see the starry sky, because he had built a roof for himself, the piece of torn cloth he had repaired this afternoon.
"Yo? Yo..." Poliwag tilted its head. It still didn't understand what Yu Hai, this human, was saying, but it understood a little bit, that this human had given it the best food.
But it had already eaten half of the grilled fish, almost half full, this grilled fish...
Poliwag looked at the grilled fish on the leaf, drool dripping from the corner of its mouth, but it still retracted the drool from the corner of its mouth, shook its head desperately, and shook the grilled fish out of its mind, freeing itself from the temptation of the grilled fish.
Then it used its mouth to bite the wooden stick of the grilled fish and walked towards Yu Hai. Although Poliwag had grown legs, it was still not used to walking on land. Compared to land, Poliwag preferred to stay in the Water .
But Poliwag still walked in front of Yu Hai, stuck the grilled fish in the sand in front of Yu Hai, and called out to Yu Hai, as if saying, "I won't eat it, you eat it."
"Hehe," Yu Hai lowered his head and looked at the grilled fish. The stick was covered in drool from this little glutton, and he smiled helplessly.
He could see that Poliwag really wanted to eat the grilled fish, but it was well restrained by Poliwag.
This reminded him of a saying that Pokémon loved to say in his previous life.
There are no useless Pokémon , only useless Trainer s.
Although his start was not bad, not falling into the category of starting with a Caterpie , this Poliwag's potential was not high.
He knew what the Proficiency Panel 's prompt of 31% potential meant: trash, trash, still trash.
Without the investment of a large amount of resources from a Trainer , this Poliwag could only be described as mediocre. Such a mediocre Pokémon , a low-potential Pokémon , no Trainer would choose at all.
In addition to malnutrition and poor development, the mediocrity that could be seen at a glance, no Trainer would use this kind of Pokémon as their initial Pokémon .
