Roy knew it was time, and he pulled back the club with a sudden burst of power.
A massive creature, mostly blue and nearly a fifth the size of a ship, was pulled from the sea.
Fisherman:?????
The other fishermen nearby were dumbfounded, especially the one who had just been teasing Roy; his mouth was agape.
Is this even possible for a human to fish up?
Roy didn't throw his Poké Ball; he simply used the System Scan the information of this enormous creature.

So it's Wailord, no wonder it's so heavy.
After scanning the information, Roy didn't intend to capture Wailord. He commanded Drakloak, who was chasing the flock of Wingull in the air, to remove the hook and throw the Pokéblock to Wailord.
After doing all this, Wailord's enormous body fell back into the sea, creating huge waves the moment its body touched the surface.
Roy quickly crouched down, revealing Giovanni behind him.
Just as Giovanni was about to be splashed by the waves, a large umbrella was placed in front of Giovanni, shielding Giovanni from the oncoming spray.
The person who arrived was none other than Giovanni's secretary, Matori.
However, the fishermen on the other lower platforms didn't have such a responsible secretary; none of them managed to avoid the spray and were splashed with seawater by the waves created by the Wailord.
However, they didn't care at all that their clothes were wet; their minds were still immersed in the moment when Wailord was caught.
Wailord, back in the ocean, instantly regained some of its strength after consuming the Pokéblock.
Two beady eyes peered out from the sea, looking at Roy with puzzlement, trying to memorize Roy's image.
He thought he was doomed for the day, but it turned out Roy was just teasing him.
Roy turned to look at the fisherman who had just mocked him and found that the man's clothes were also soaked by the sea, and he was drenched.
"Uncle, sometimes the Air Force shouldn't blame the equipment. They should consider their own reasons. Could it be that you haven't worked hard enough?"
You're at the age where you should be striving, don't give up!
At this moment, the fishermen on the sunken platform ignored their earlier teasing and came over to Roy, asking him where he bought Roy fishing rod and bait.
They usually just fish for Magikarp, Tentacruel, Goldeen, and ordinary sea fish, nothing like Roy, who catches a Wailord in one go.
That's right, they would rather suspect the problem is with the fishing rod and bait than look for the cause within themselves.
The air force's problem is absolutely due to equipment issues; it has absolutely nothing to do with them.
The fisherman who had just mocked Roy's fishing rod immediately bowed 90 degrees and handed Roy a business card.
Head of Public Relations at Silph Co.: Liang Ye
Silph Co.?
Isn't that the largest department store in the Kanto Region?
He also remembered Steven telling him that Devon Corporation was currently competing with Silph Co. for the Johto's market.
As expected, the identities of these fishermen are all more mysterious than the last.
Faced with everyone's questions, Roy made an outrageous demand, stating that he wouldn't sell the fishing rod, but the bait would cost 20,000 Poké Dollars each!
20,000 Poké Dollars!!?
A regular, Basic Pokéblock only costs a few hundred Poké Dollars, but the Pokéblock Roy is using as bait—whose level is unknown—costs 20,000 Poké Dollars? That's... way too cheap!
Those who can board the S.S. Anne are almost all wealthy and powerful. If these 20,000 Poké Dollars can help them catch Wailmer or Wailord.
Whether you catch anything or not, it's something you can brag about for a lifetime.
From this perspective, 20,000 Poké Dollars is definitely a very reasonable price. A group of anglers went crazy for Roy's bait on the spot, and even after the bait was sold out, a large number of people came to pre-order.
After all the bait he brought was "snatched up" by the anglers using Poké Dollars, Roy also decided to leave the sinking platform.
After all, he's not Jiang Ziya; he can't catch fish without bait.
As soon as Roy turned around, he saw Giovanni, who had been trying to Coaching him how to go sea fishing. Giovanni, however, was spared from being splashed by the waves thanks to Matori's timely umbrella.
However, at this moment, Giovanni's hand was awkwardly stretched out in mid-air. His attention was not on the effect of Roy's bait, but on Roy himself.
Although that Wailord was smaller than the others of its kind, it was still Wailord. How could it be so easily overwhelmed by Roy in terms of strength? This further demonstrates that Roy is no ordinary creature.
Giovanni wanted to pull his hand back, after all, he himself had never caught Wailord, let alone taught Roy how to fish.
The next second, Roy reached out and shook hands with Giovanni.
The awkward atmosphere instantly disappeared.
Giovanni paused for a moment, then, seeing Roy's understanding attitude, gently shook hands with Roy.
But his gaze unconsciously drifted to the muscles in Roy's arm, which had now returned to its original size before Roy exerted force.
