A Simple Fisherman in RWBY

Chapter 07

- Argenti Ovans –

After my small exercise with my Mudkip this morning, I returned to my mysterious hiding spot as my entire body felt energized. Was this a sign that I could continue fishing here? Is the cooldown done, and can I open another Pokémon World portal? I can probably ask myself more questions, but…

Isn't it better to try it at this point? So, this is why I made myself more comfortable before fishing. I put my chair down and gave my Scroll to Mudkip since we would be there awhile. I would feel bad for making him wait for me for a long time.

Moreover, I also saw how he was curious about the Scroll, and I think I did an excellent job since he was pretty much hooked when I explained how to use it.

I looked at the calm pound as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I immediately willed myself and activated my hellish semblance. I felt the first effect on my body when my aura was getting sucked greedily by the semblance. I panted and gasped for air, maintaining my absolute focus and feeding my aura.

I kept this link for a few more seconds until I almost collapsed on my chair as I forcefully broke the connection with my semblance. Just like that, the previously calm surface of the pond suddenly stopped as a whirlpool formed and created a generous-sized portal.

I was still in doubt about which world this portal was linked to. Was it the Pokémon world yet again? Or was it a completely different world altogether? I admit I was curious about this second test. However, I didn't immediately cast my line since I felt terrible.

This greedy semblance almost emptied my aura reserve, so I needed to recuperate to a certain extent. After all, If I were to get a Kyogre, but because I was too weak to pull it back, I would end it all.

And so I slumped on my chair and waited until I felt it was completely okay to fish. I also poured more aura than the previous time, so I expect my portal to stay up way over an hour compared to last time.

I immediately opened my eyes and stood up from my chair with my fishing firmly held as I cast my lines into the portal. "THIS IS IT!"

[Sploosh]

And now it's the waiting game…

I sat down on my chair and waited. Let's hope it won't take too much time for my first catching of the day.

Three minutes later…

I stood up from my chair as I felt the tug on my fishing rod. It was time for the kill…!

"ARGHHHH!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I dragged the fishing rod back. I can feel it! I know it will be my most incredible pull ever!

DON'T LET ME DOWN, GACHA GOD!

OH! I CAN SEE IT! THE PRIZE…!

The item fell into my vision, and I began to doubt it since it was a black USB. I still held my hand to catch the device.

I held my confusion and activated the observe function of my semblance… My eyes popped wide open at the most outstanding catch I ever had. "FUCK!" I can't help but curse out loud when I see what I just caught.

Item Storage APP Version x1: Digitally reduce any item into a line of computer code for quick and easy storage! (Can be used on any electronic device like the Scroll or PC!)

That's such a fucking good quality of life! I finally had my inventory cheat and wouldn't have to carry stuff with me anymore… well, the most suspicious one. I wonder if I should release the app in the Scroll Store…?

No, that's probably a bad fucking idea… at least for now. Even if I needed money, I don't think making the item storage worldwide is the move right now.

I held the black USB between my fingers and then stared at my Mudkip, holding my Scroll. I should definitly try it, no? I walked toward Mudkip and asked if I could borrow the Scroll.

Mudkip blinked at me for a few seconds as he pouted in dissatisfaction but still handed me my Scroll. "Don't worry, buddy. I have something to try and promise to give you back." I said as I rubbed his head.

"Mudkip…"

I held the USB in one hand while the other hand held the Scroll, and I had no idea how to use it on my Scroll. After all, the Scroll didn't have a port where I could plug the USB… Should I try and tap it? Well, I had nothing to lose—Ah, it worked...!

Wow, that's bullshit.

Huh, so I might as well try… I opened the Scroll and went to the homepage, where I saw a new icon that appeared on my phone. It was a bag icon with the title [Storage] under it. I opened the app as my scroll camera flashed and opened.

I pointed the camera at the bag I brought and clicked the big [Store] button on the screen... Oh! It worked! That's actually crazy! And now, if I wanted to take, let's say, an Oran berry that came with my bag off the storage, then I should be able to click this [Unload]…!

A juicy Oran berry appeared on my hand! Oh, wait! There was also a voice function that was even more practical.

Very Nice!

I threw the berry to Mudkip and gave him back the Scroll. I was delighted with what I had just caught from the portal, and I never knew that I needed more quality of life from the Pokémon World until now.

I looked at the portal greedily as I immediately took the rod back in my hand. I didn't hesitate to cast the line again as I wasted enough time to test the Item Storage.

Let's keep this luck! I need more pulls!

14 minutes later…

Enigma Stone x1: A crystal ball that was excavated from the ground. It is covered with bits of rock and earth, but it is still beautiful.

"?"

I tilted my head in confusion as I had no idea what to do with this event item in my hand. I mean… that's great and all, but it was practically useless for me since I'm in Remnant and not in the Pokemon World.

From what I remembered in the games, it was an event item you had to give to some guy in the Pewter Museum, where it would be discovered as the Soul Dew. After that, if I desired it, I could activate the Soul Dew to summon Latios or Latias, depending on the game version in Pewter City, where you could try to catch it.

Yeah… it was a great item, yet I couldn't use it since I wasn't in the Pokémon world, which was disappointing. Well, we can't win it all…

I shook my head and threw the Enigma stone toward my Scroll. "Scroll, Store the Enigma Stone," I said as the camera of my Scroll blinked and absorbed the item instantly.

The voice mode was even better, and I was thrilled to be able to find this item. Oh well, it was time to continue fishing.

16 minutes later…

Aux Guard x10: An item that sharply boosts the defensive stats of a Pokémon in battle. These effects disappear if the Pokémon leaves the battle.

I don't have much to say about it except that I was an excellent item for battle, but I wonder if it could also work on me. Oh well, that was an exciting experiment in the future.

Three minutes later…

HM03 (Surf): The user attacks everything around it by swamping its surroundings with a giant wave.

Oh well, damn. My Mudkip is eating good today, huh? So let's try again and hope my luck didn't leave me today.

31 minutes later…

- Pokémon World –

P2 laboratory - Unova

Ghetsis looked expressionlessly at the mysterious black vessel created by Team Plasma. He looked around and saw his team, the numerous Plasma Grunts, entering and leaving the ship with various boxes and equipment with the help of their Pokémon.

He knew it was almost time for his long-lived revenge against Unova. His first plan was thwarted by a random kid who decided to go against him. Even the little kid he picked up by accident dared to betray him after he took care of him.

He almost decided to quit on the spot and completely abandon his dream, but the shame and humiliation still haunted him. How could he abandon his long-lived goal of ruling the world under his palm? He can't afford to end it all here.

It was not in his nature.

He was Ghetsis and the absolute leader of Team Plasma, and no one could stop him this time! Not even his blasted son and the little whore who seduced his own son against him.

Ghetsis looked at the second boss and the lead researcher of Team Plasma. This man was Colress, the most brilliant man he had ever met in his long life. While their goal wasn't the same, Ghetsis managed to tempt him with his word and the possibility for him to realize his own goal by following him.

"Colress…" muttered Ghetsis as he called the busy researcher beside him. "What's wrong, Ghetsis?" replied Colress as his eyes never left his white electronic tablet.

"What is the situation of the Plasma Frigate?" asked Ghetsis as his eyes stared at the beautiful black vessel that would help him conquer the world by starting with Unova.

Colress glanced at Ghetsis briefly. "Hmmm, We are currently on the last verification for the Frigate. It shouldn't be long before it can fly. We need 15 more minutes to make sure it won't crash."

"15 minutes? That is acceptable." Said Ghetsis as he walked toward the Regalia and became excited. His dream was now closer than ever, but... Ghetsis suddenly stopped in his step as he glanced at Colress again. "…How about the legendary Kyurem? How is he?"

Colress was silent regarding the Pokémon Kyurem but continued fiddling with his electronic tablet. "Kyurem is deeply asleep in the energy room and shouldn't be able to wake up for a very long time. We have harvested enough energy from Kyurem and the solar energy to create a new energy source to power the Frigade."

"How about the barrier keeping the beast?" asked Ghetsis with a pained face that lasted briefly as he recalled the numerous losses when they tried to capture a Legendary Pokémon. He didn't want to face this nightmare again if he wasn't sure he could defeat and control it by force.

Colress hummed in understanding as he understood the situation. After all, he also participated in capturing Kyurem alongside Ghetsis. While the losses were unfortunate, they did help his research tremendously. "Kyurem is currently weakened by a lot by our care. It would take a lot of energy and time for Kyurem to recover. Moreover, I installed a fail-safe in case Kyurem somehow escaped from his enclosure. But the energy barrier surrounding him should be unbreakable."

"Perfect…!" muttered Ghetsis with a malicious smile.

However, at the same time, Ghetsis, who was lost in his mind, woke up in the presence of a member of the Shadow Trial. He appeared beside Ghetsis and Colress and immediately kneeled in his presence. "Ghetsis-sama."

The Shadow Triad was a group of individuals named Shadow that Team Plasma carefully cultivated for recon and complex missions. They are considered high-ranking members above the grunts inside Team Plasma, and they faithfully serve Ghetsis and the previous N.

Ghetsis grunted, annoyed, but held his temper back as he knew they wouldn't dare to appear before him if they didn't have anything important to inform him. "Speak." Said Ghetsis.

"…We found a trace of young master N." said the Shadow. As soon as he delivered the news, Ghetsis froze in place as he clenched his fist. He instinctively released a horrifying aura and pressure around him that spooked everyone from Grunts to weak-willed Pokémon and even Colress briefly.

Colress cleaned the cold sweat on his forehead as he stopped tapping his tablet and looked at the Shadow curiously. He personally didn't have much contact with this Young Master N. But he still knew that N was personally cultivated by Ghetsis himself before he decided to go rogue.

Ghetsis took a deep breath, reigned his anger, and glared at the Shadow, who was gasping for air with his head down. The Shadow member didn't dare to look up in fear. "Speak." Said Ghetsis venomously.

"N-sama was found on the outskirts of Driftveil City with the Pokémon trainer Hilda and her cousin, a new Pokémon trainer, Rosa." He finished Shadow with his head still down.

No one said anything as the entire island was silent; many didn't dare to breathe and held their breath. They knew the current Ghetsis was a bomb ready to explode, and they didn't want to be the unfortunate one to detonate it.

"…Good! Good! N, you finally decided to show yourself again! Moreover, with this damned girl with you…!" angrily said Ghetsis. He then looked at Colress. "HOW ABOUT THE PLASMA FRIGATE, COLRESS?"

Colress was startled but followed the orders from his boss. "Ready to go, Ghetsis. We are waiting for your instructions."

"Good! Then order everyone in front of the Frigate! Even those inside! Gather everyone in front of me!" shouted Ghetsis with ferocity. Everyone who heard him immediately gathered as some relayed the information to the people inside the Frigate. No one wanted to suffer the wrath of Ghetsis.

Then Ghetsis looked at the Shadow still kneeling on the ground. "YOU! Keep your eyes on N and those despicable women for me! That's an order."

The Shadow immediately disappeared as soon he received the order. "Yes, Ghetsis-sama!"

 -X-X-X-X-

After every Team Plasma involved in the project appeared in front of Ghetsis, who was in front of the Plasma Frigate. "Is this everyone?" asked Ghetsis to Colress, who was beside him. Colress observed the crowd and nodded.

"Good… Then TEAM PLASMA! IT IS OUR TIME FOR OUR RETURN AGAINST UNOVA! As everyone knows, Team Plasma was formed because of our sacred mission! We are the messiah of this dark and cruel world! Even if we failed two years ago, it doesn't mean anything! WE are the saints sent by the world itself to LIBERATE all the poor Pokémon in the hands of those filthy trainers!" said Ghetsis as he observed the crowd, then he let out a smile when he noticed their fanatical look.

"BUT THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT! It won't be like last time! This time, we captured the Legendary Pokémon Kyurem, and we shall conquer Unova with the Plasma Frigate!" said Ghetsis as he closed his eyes to experience this feeling again like two years ago.

Little did he know that a mysterious portal appeared just above the Plasma Frigate. This sudden portal bewildered every grunt and Colress who learned about it from the crowd's reaction. He fixed his glasses and observed this mysterious portal, only to be left shocked as a hook that reminded him of a fishing rod appeared within the portal.

He watched as the line slowly descended upon the Plasma Frigate as it latched on the vessel. His eyes popped wide open as it somehow managed to lift the Prigate from the ground.

"With this Kyurem, We shall F—" said Ghetsis as he opened his eyes and looked at the crowd, only to be confused by their shocked face.

He then looked at Colress for an answer, only to see him pointing behind him. "FUCK!" cursed Ghetsis as he finally saw the outrageous scene.

"WHO DARES TO STEAL FROM GHETSIS?" shouted the leader of Team Plasma as he took out his Pokeball and summoned his most powerful Pokémon.

"HYDREIGON!" shouted the three-headed, draconic Pokémon. Ghetsis immediately pointed at the fishing lines that dared to drag his masterpiece. "HYPER BEAM!"

The three head of Hydreigon quickly opened their mouth as they charged a devastating Hyper beam. Charging the attack took a few seconds as they launched a triple Hyper Beam at the fishing line, only to be left dumbfounded when it didn't do anything to it. "WHAT IS THAT?" shouted a shocked Ghetsis as he quickly lost his temper even more.

"COLRESS!?" shouted Ghetsis as he glared at his researcher with anger in his heart. It was supposed to be his grand return to Unova and the announcement of the return of Team Plasma. He couldn't accept such a situation.

"I'm on it." Said Colress rapidly as he opened his electronic tablet and fiddled with the control of the Frigate. The vessel's distance was halfway through the portal, and everyone panicked.

"HYDREIGON! Continue to attack this shitty fishing line for me!" ordered Ghetsis as he took out five more Pokeball from his body and threw them into the air. He summoned his Eelektross, Seismitoad, Cofagrigus, Drapion and Toxicroak.

Ghetsis didn't waste time as he ordered them to attack. "GO! ATTACK THAT!"

"Eelektross!"

"Cofagrigus!"

"Drapion!"

"Toxicroak!"

"Seismitoad!"

Every one of his Pokémon attacked the line with their attack, but none managed to tear it. Ghetsis then looked at the crowd behind him, ordering them to throw their Pokémon into the field. "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR? JUST DO IT ALREADY!"

The grunts in the crowd glanced at each other as everyone let out their Pokémon.

"Scolipede! Go!"

"Go! Garbodor!"

"I need your help, Weezing!"

"Let's do this, Amoonguss!"

[...]

Ghetsis became even more antsy as he saw none of the attacks managed to harm the damned fishing line or the hook that somehow managed to pull his Frigate. His lifework was almost gone as it was very near the portal.

"Colress!? TALK TO ME!" shouted Ghetsis, directing his rage to his second hand. Fortunately, Colress finished at the same time with a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I got this Ghetsis." Said Colress as he pressed the final button.

The Plasma Frigate came alive as the reactor powering the vessel came to life. The sail stood tall on the vessel's deck as the wings beside the Plasma Frigate deployed. That's right, Colress started the ship to prevent the mysterious portal from obtaining their vehicle and to fight back against it.

The various thrusters of the vessel came to life as the ascension suddenly halted dead in their track. It was a stalemate, but Colress knew that they were slowly winning. Yet, It wasn't enough for Ghetsis, as his heart couldn't almost take it anymore.

"Add more power to the Plasma Prigate!" Ordered Ghetsis as Colress complied silently. The thruster became even more active and louder, but at least everyone could see that they were winning this confrontation.

"HAHAHAHA! IN THE END, IT WAS ME! GHETSIS THAT WO—" laughed Ghetsis maniacally until he saw something even more outrageous.

The Plasma Frigate was suddenly cloaked in a golden energy that helped the ship ascend into the portal. He was left speechless as he watched his lifelong project disappear just like that.

[…]

The silence was heavy as many people didn't know how to feel or say.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" cursed Ghetsis furiously as his entire aura and pressure flew out of his body. He glared at the crowd. "EVERYONE TOP PRIORITY IS TO FIND AND GATHER MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS!"

"YES! GHETSIS-SAMA," shouted everyone as they quickly escaped Ghetsis's vision. "Colress!"

"I know… I'll keep track of it!" replied Colress with a blank face as he left the island. He needed his lab for this retrieval mission.

Ghetsis was now left alone, surrounded by his Pokémon, who had their head down with a guilty expression, but Ghetsis's mind wasn't on them… no… he was thinking about their mysterious thief that dared to steal his Plasma Frigate and Kyurem.

"…I swear to find you."
