Along the coastline north of Jubilife City,
the Ripple Water Festival was underway.
Several large yachts were moored beside the pier, and aquatic mount Pokémon such as Lapras, Dewgong, Floatzel, and Mantine stood ready.
For anyone brave enough, there were even Sharpedo to choose from.
Mayor Luca had brought them all in for people joining the Whale-Watching Fishing excursion to use free of charge.
After all, not everyone had a Pokémon they could ride on the water.
Li Wei's Elder Uncle, for instance, loved fishing, but his only Pokémon was a Furfrou.
[Ding! A rare Pokémon has been detected in your current city.]
Upon arriving at the northern coastline, Li Wei heard the mechanical female voice again and took a moment to glance at the notification.
[Type]: Shiny Pokémon [Rarity]: Relatively low [Capture difficulty]: Moderate [Danger level]: Relatively low.
Judging by its position on the radar, it was a Water-type Pokémon somewhere in these waters.
Whether he could reel it in would come down to luck.
But with a detection range of fifty kilometers, actually encountering it would be pretty difficult.
The Whale-Watching Fishing boats would set off at nine thirty and return at two in the afternoon.
Since he already had Milotic, Li Wei wasn't particularly determined to catch another Water-type Pokémon.
He would leave it to fate.
Li Wei looked around at everyone and called out,
"Safety first! Be back at the parking lot by eight tonight, and remember to check the group chat!"
After he let everyone know when to meet up that evening,
they split up to enjoy their own activities.
At this Water Festival, Pokémon could roam freely as long as they didn't obstruct traffic.
Bringing out a Steelix or Snorlax to block the road was definitely out of the question.
