"Basculin?"
Lu Ze was a little surprised. All he had reeled in were Pokémon like Magikarp.
Whether it was Magikarp or Goldeen, they were only worth one or two points.
But this Basculin was worth four points in the pond.
As expected of Snorlax.
After giving Snorlax a happy glance, Lu Ze directed Cottonee to attack.
Aside from the wild Pokémon in the lake, the other Pokémon in this fishing contest were generally around Cottonee's current level, with quite a few being much weaker than her.
Like the Magikarp and Goldeen they had just caught.
The Goldeen was a little stronger.
But the first Magikarp they caught was no good.
It was, at most, just out of its newborn stage.
Of course, its weak fighting ability was also because Magikarp only knew one offensive move: [Tackle].
The first two were completely incomparable to the Basculin now baring its fangs on the grass.
The red-striped Basculin seemed to be about as strong as Cottonee.
You'll be Cottonee's opponent.
A smile appeared on Lu Ze's face. "Cottonee, Mach Punch!"
The opposing Basculin had a priority move in its move pool: [Aqua Jet].
To avoid getting hit, Lu Ze immediately had Cottonee use [Mach Punch], another priority move.
Just as Lu Ze expected, once the Basculin saw Cottonee enter the battle, water immediately wrapped around its body as it charged toward her.
Both moves had a priority of plus one, so it would come down to who was faster.
But judging from the current situation, Basculin seemed to be faster.
[Mach Punch] and [Aqua Jet] collided, sending both Pokémon flying backward.
The difference was that Cottonee quickly steadied herself in midair, while Basculin fell to the ground.
"Cottonee, Charm!"
Lu Ze frowned slightly when he saw this, then gave another command.
Cottonee was
