Luvdisc (Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!)

The Zubat fell into deep thought again. Food had defeated its dignity, but several more hurdles awaited it.

Food! Keep it up!!

Click, click, click...

Hmm? What's that sound?

The Zubat suddenly heard a strange sound, and only then did it come to its senses.

It trembled as it looked at the empty little bowl in front of it.

Who ate this?!

It's already finished all the food?! No way!! This doesn't make sense, the appetite level is only at level eight! This is cheating!

The Zubat refused to admit that they ate it; it was all an illusion!

When the Beedrill heard the noise, it ran in and was immediately stunned.

This Zubat left a deep impression on it; it had originally thought it was a Pokémon that would rather die than submit... originally.

It glanced at the empty little bowl.

The Beedrill's eyes flickered, then it turned and left.

"..."

Zubat was feeling quite conflicted. Snapping out of its feigned death state, it rolled over and lay down on the Sleeping Bag the palace had prepared for it... So soft, so comfortable!

"Sizzle?!"

It immediately became extremely interested in the soft bed beneath it.

Having just emerged from the cave, the high-tech Zubat looked around, rekindling their passion for life.

Leaving aside the Zubat marveling at how clever humans are, Dian was already preparing to fish by the lake.

Regardless of whether the Luvdisc is real or not, at least he saw some edible wild game.

You have to understand, since he came to the Pokémon World, he has never eaten a single wild game, which is a real tragedy.

Once, when he saw the fish by the lake, he was immediately amazed and wanted to have a grilled fish meal. However, he was given a stern warning by Ranger appeared out of nowhere.

This type of fish is currently prohibited from being caught. If caught, the perpetrators will be fined or detained.

Of course, the prince wouldn't be frightened by such a Frillish remark. He agreed on the surface, but in reality, he was already secretly preparing to strike at any moment.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and someone always managed to disturb them.

At first, it was a few novice Trainer acted like they'd never seen a fish before, snapping photos like crazy. Then came that cunning fish, followed by Azisa's naturally clueless Hoppip. Now it's finally quiet.

He silently watched the black figure in the lake, then prepared to make his move.

Hmph! He didn't earn his title of "Little Prince of Fishing" for nothing.

Bang!

Dian swiftly scooped up the fish with his bare hands, performing a spectacular feat of catching a fish with his bare hands, but unfortunately, no one witnessed this amazing scene.

"Gotcha!"

He was somewhat surprised, feeling that the thing in his hand probably weighed over ten kilograms.

How long will this take to eat? Perfect!

Dian immediately grabbed the thing in his hand with all his might, and then the joy on his face quickly froze.

Two large, dead fish eyes stared back at him. This large fish, with its red body, yellow fins, and two long yellow whiskers, looked as if it were dead, not even struggling.

Congratulations... Your Highness caught a Magikarp with your bare hands! The question is, is this thing even worth eating?!

He casually tossed the dead fish aside. What use Magikarp that couldn't even use its Splash? It might not even be worth giving away.

Thanks to a veteran Magikarp seller, even seven- or eight-year-olds now know that Magikarp is not as good as the lollipops in their hands.

Well, it seems someone caught a bunch of Caterpie and tried to sell them with a picture of Rayquaza. The result was predictable: they almost got beaten up, the reason being that it was too insulting to their intelligence.

On the contrary, the hall felt that the ancient sage's price was too high. You might be able to scam people out of a few dozen yuan for a Caterpie, but you're selling it for a thousand yuan apiece. No wonder you get beaten up.

Sigh, in short, I have no confidence that I can raise a Magikarp into Gyarados?

It was too difficult, so he chose to give up.

Even without seeing the Misdreavus, it merely glanced at the Magikarp that had fallen back into the water, as if it were air, its eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Dream!"

She floated over, pulled the palace up, and then flew towards the center of the lake.

The palace slowly flew to the center of the lake aboard the Misdreavus Flight. At this moment, a gentle Clearwind was blowing across the lake, and the leaves on the top of the Hoppip turned gently, like a green propeller, Levitate steadily in the air above the lake.

Dian suddenly realized that all four of his Pokémon seemed to be able to fly. It seemed that his spirit of "the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee" had been deeply ingrained in his bones.

If you can win, go for it; if you can't, run away. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback.

Anyway, the world is about to be destroyed, and Ash is there to hold it up, so why be afraid?

Suddenly, the Moonlight shone brightly, Infiltrator the thin mist on the lake and striking the rippling surface. Strangely, a strange Pink light was reflected on the lake's surface.

At the same time, the lake surface Rollout rapidly, Pink light shone forth, and an inexplicable chill erupted from the lakebed.

"Walk!"

His expression changed, and he immediately spoke.

Even without him saying anything, the Misdreavus had already sensed something was wrong. She quickly pulled the Hoppip and flew upwards into the sky.

The Beedrill by the lake quickly pulled up their tents and flew into the sky.

"Sizzle!"

The Zubat, still immersed in its own world inside the tent, let out a cry, then emitted Supersonic waves to investigate before hurriedly flying out.

At this moment, the palace had no time to pay attention to the seemingly recovered Zubat, because the lake level suddenly rose, the entire lake surface was more than three meters higher than the surrounding area, as if it would erase all traces of the surrounding area at any time.

"Is this a water column ring, a water swimming motion, or Water Pulse?"

The palace looked at the Pink figures in the lake with suspicion and uncertainty.

The Moonlight was exceptionally clear at that moment, almost as bright as day.

Pokémon- shaped fish, resembling upright hearts, swam among them. With Pink bodies and pale pink lips, they were the so-called Pokémon for Luvdisc.

"Labu"

"La poo~"

"La po, la po!"

The loving Luvdisc touched each other's pale pink cheeks, some even kissing each other, dancing a love dance in the water.

Dian was speechless. He had really been fed a dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). No wonder there wasn't a single Pokémon around. What single person could withstand such a blow?

However, upon closer inspection, it turns out that not all the Luvdisc in the group are in pairs; there are also single fish standing sadly by, their emptiness, loneliness, and coldness almost palpable through the water.

"Dream..."

Misdreavus Fairy grabbed Dian's hair, looking at the group of lovey-dovey Luvdisc with disgust. She really didn't know what was so great about them kissing.

The Hoppip beside it tilted its head, looking at the Pink figures, seemingly a little confused.

Beedrill gestured with its eyes for Zubat to come and pull up the tent, while it stood aside, seemingly lost in thought.
