No matter the region.
Wherever there was water, they were sure to be there.
Magikarp!
Baimu discovered that they had eaten most of the Pokéblocks he had scattered. A few Barboach had joined the feast too.
"..."
You're not the mudfish I'm looking for!
I want the bigger, longer kind!
Unfortunately, the Magikarp and Barboach stole the show. They churned the water in a frantic scramble for food, a dense mass that left no room for Dragonair or Dratini to appear.
"That backfired."
Baimu tossed in the last handful and put away the empty jar.
He never discriminated against any Pokémon, so even though the Pokéblocks meant to lure Dragonair and Dratini had gone to the Magikarp, he didn't consider them wasted.
If one plan failed, he'd try another!
He waited for the lake to settle, then released Shiny Milotic into it.
Bang!
"Milo~"
Milotic swam into the lake. Seeing no opponent, only a crowd of wild Magikarp still jostling for food to fall from the sky again, she turned to her Trainer in confusion.
Baimu said, "See if Dragonair and Dratini are down there. Try to draw them out."
"Milo!"
Milotic obeyed, slipping gracefully beneath the surface without splashing a single drop. The move deserved full marks.
Her enormous, beautiful form swept straight into the school of Magikarp.
The big red fish scattered in alarm, their vacant eyes suddenly wide. Many that had reached breeding age followed Milotic as she swam.
See?
Even dim-witted Magikarp couldn't resist Milotic's charm!
Baimu watched and sighed inwardly.
Honestly.
He hadn't wanted to bring out this secret weapon.
For one thing, Milotic was absurdly alluring. If she drew Dragonair out, they might latch on and follow her around. Some wild Water-type Pokémon had taken a shine to her before and swum near the
