Kanto College of the Elves

Chapter 52 Shipbuilding I

At this moment, Taiyi's fishing rod suddenly moved.

"Taiyi, your fishing rod." Ahai said.

After Taiyi saw it, he quickly picked up the fishing rod and started fighting with the Pokémon in the water. Taiyi was seen waving the fishing rod left and right.

"He is so strong." Taiyi said.

"Come on, Taichi." Kojiro encouraged from the side.

After a lot of maneuvering, Taiyi finally pulled the Pokémon out of the water with a strong lift and threw it into the sky.

The splashing water glows with colorful light under the sunlight.

The Pokémon caught was in the same direction as the sun in the sky, making Taiyi unable to see clearly.

After falling down, the three of them took a look and saw that it was a Magikarp. Looking at the Magikarp jumping alive on the ground, the three of them fell into silence.

"King Magikarp..." Taiyi said weakly. "I just fought with a King Magikarp for so long."

"I didn't expect that a Carp King could actually struggle for so long before being dragged out of the water," A Hai said.

"In a sense, this Magikarp is quite good." Kojiro complained.

"Do you think I should be subdued?" Taiyi asked.

"Put it in the water tank first. I just looked through the tool box and found a water tank inside."

Kojiro said as he took out the water tank from the tool box. He turned on the switch and let the water tank absorb water from the lake. Then he picked up Magikarp from the ground and threw it in.

Not long after Kojiro threw Magikarp into the water tank, a Pokémon bit his bait.

"Here we go, a Pokémon has taken the bait." Kojiro said excitedly.

Then Kojiro also dealt with the Pokémon in the water, and when he pulled it up, he saw that it was still a Magikarp.

"It's Magikarp again." Kojiro said disappointedly.

Ahai comforted:

“It is very common to catch Magikarp while fishing, after all, most of the Pokémon in the lake are Magikarp.

Only a very small number are other Pokémon."

"That's it." Kojiro said.

"Although Magikarp is very common, his evolved Gyarados is not a common Pokémon." Taiyi said.

"Everyone knows how powerful Magikarp is after he evolves into Gyarados. But there are a few Magikarp that can evolve into Gyarados," Kojiro said.

"I heard from other anglers that there is a Gyarados living in this lake. But few people have seen it," Ahai said.

"Really! If only I could catch Gyarados." Kojiro said excitedly.

"So what if you catch it? Can you beat Gyarados?" Taiyi complained.

Hearing Taichi's words, Kojiro, who was originally very excited, was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said in a low voice:

"It's true. Even if you catch it, I can't beat it or subdue it."

"By the way, Taichi, Kojiro. I plan to build a wooden boat. Do you two want to come together?" Ah Hai suddenly asked.

"Okay, why don't you come." Kojiro said.

Taichi asked curiously: "Kojiro, you can also build ships, why didn't I know?"

"Uh... no." Kojiro scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know how to build a boat. I know how to build a boat from books," Ahai said.

"Okay, I'll go back and look through the book to see how to build a ship. Ah Hai, when do you plan to start building a ship?" Taiyi asked.

"I need to prepare the wood for shipbuilding first, and then I can start building the ship. I heard that the wood needed for shipbuilding needs to be treated before it can be used for shipbuilding," Ahai said.

"It seems so. I've heard this statement too," Kojiro said from the side.

Then Taichi and Kojiro caught a carp from time to time. In the evening, Taichi and Kojiro still caught nothing.

Ah Hai once caught a mosquito-repellent tadpole, but Ah Hai did not catch it. After releasing all the carp in the water tank, Taichi and Kojiro prepared to join the manor.

"Ah Hai, will you continue fishing tomorrow?" Taiyi asked.

"Of course." Ah Hai replied.

"Let's discuss shipbuilding tomorrow." Taiyi said.

"Okay, I'll leave first." Ah Hai said.

Back at the manor, after dinner, Taichi and Kojiro went online to research how to make a wooden boat.

I learned that the best wood needed to make wooden boats is redwood. I just don’t know where this wood grows.

The next day, Taichi and Kojiro came to the lake in the southern suburbs of Binhai City. They saw Ahai sitting there and starting to fish.

"Ahai!" Kojiro shouted, waving his hands.

"Hey, come here quickly." Ah Hai also waved his hand and shouted.

After Taichi and Kojiro passed by, Taichi said to Ah Hai: "Ah Hai, you came so early."

"Of course, fishing means perseverance, so that you can catch rare Pokémon." Ahai said.

"So that's it." Kojiro said as if he understood.

"Ah Hai, I checked and found that a kind of wood called redwood is the best for shipbuilding. Do you know where it can be found?" Taiyi asked.

"Redwood. Let me think about it." A Hai said.

"This kind of redwood has good material and strong toughness. The boat it builds has great buoyancy, can carry heavy loads, is light and agile, and is strong and durable." Kojiro introduced.

After listening to Kojiro's introduction, Ahai also remembered where this kind of redwood could be found.

"I remembered, there is one right near this lake. Follow the south path all the way south.

After a while, you will see a redwood tree. But there is a group of beetles living there. Their favorite food is the sap of the redwood tree." Ahai said.

"The sap of this redwood tree is Dajia's favorite food. If we go to cut down the redwood trees, Dajia will probably attack us," Taiyi said.

"I haven't thought about this problem before," Ahai said.

"And we cut down the redwood trees. What will Dajia and the others do if they have no food?" Kojiro asked.

"We shouldn't need many trees to make wooden boats. Ah Hai, are there many redwoods there?" Taiyi asked.

"It's a lot, it's a forest. We only need a few, so it won't affect Dajia. It's just that Dajia regards it as its own territory and won't let us cut down the trees." Ahai said.

"It seems we have to think of a good solution." Taiyi said.

"You said, I'm going to attract Da Jia's attention, how about you take the opportunity to chop down the tree?" Ahai asked.

"It's not enough to attract attention. It's better to anger them and lure them away. Then we can take the opportunity to chop down the trees. I have a flying mantis, and I can chop down the trees quickly."

Taiyi said.

"But after cutting down the trees, how will we transport them away?" Kojiro asked.

"I have a Haoli, which can carry two trees at a time. I calculated that the redwood trees there are very big, and we only need four." Ahai said.
