Under the leadership of Edward, Rosa followed him around the lake.
There are no wild Pokemon in a 100-meter radius of their selected location, which is considered safe.
After that, they decided to set up a camp here and have lunch.
"Edward! Something is swimming in the lake."
"Huh?"
He looked at the lake.
Through aura sense, he knows there were no Pokemons in it but only ordinary fish.
"It's only ordinary fish. There are no dangerous beasts in the lake."
He replied to Rosa after observing the lake.
[There must be a lot of fish in this giant lake.]
[Aren't you curious? Where did the fish come from?]
[There should be an underwater cavern that leads to the sea.]
...
The audience started a heated discussion among themselves.
When Rosa was still observing the lake, she later found that Edward had picked up some fallen tree branches in his hands.
Curious, she asked Edward why is he picking up the fallen tree branches.
"What are you going to do with the sticks?"
"I'm going to make some fishing rod to fish. It looks like our menu for today's lunch is fish."
Edward said with a smile.
"I'll help you."
After saying that, Rosa also picked a suitable wooden stick and prepared to make a fishing rod.
And Edward started digging the ground using the shovel he took out from his bag.
'We need some lure bait to lure the fish in.'
Edward picked up an earthworm he found and collected it in a bucket.
"Chic!"
Turning around, he then saw Torchic with a few earthworms in its mouth.
"Thank you for helping Torchic."
Edward smiled and patted its head.
'I'm going to explore the surroundings for a bit.'
Leaving Torchic to fill the bucket with earthworms, Edward walked around the lake to survey the lake.
It was then he noticed a familiar grouping of plants growing near a small creek.
"Oh my god! Is this a revival herb?"
This plant was included in the Pokemon knowledge in Edward's mind, which also has appeared in the anime.
This is a very peculiar herb, which can be said to revive Pokemon even from the brink of death.
It has a rich vitality suitable for Pokemon consumption if they are sick or in a near-death situation.
He can even mix a little bit of this herb on Pokemon food for added healing effect.
The only downside is that this herb has an extremely bitter taste.
'Did Landorus visit this lake before? If that is the case, this must be the reason why this place is full of vitality despite its closeness to the volcano region.'
Edward thought to himself.
Landorus is also known as "Guardian of the Fields" due to helping crops grow.
It is a legendary Pokemon similar to Articuno.
And it has a powerful ability to absorb natural wind and lightning as energy.
He searched the whole creek and picked all of them into his bag.
After that, he returned and took Torchic back to their camp.
Soon, Edward placed the bait on the fishing rod that Rosa had made and threw it on the lake.
"This lake would make a nice tourist spot if it weren't located on the island."
Rosa said while relaxing under the tree shade.
"Yeah. The environment here is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a holiday spot. There's even a big lake to enjoy fishing while relaxing and enjoying nature."
Edward replied while sitting near the banks of the lake.
"I can't believe that we are fishing leisurely here while the other contestants are still hiding on the island."
Rosa said to Edward.
She is thankful that she made the right decision to partner with Edward.
"Sorry, the other contestants are too afraid of wild beasts."
He smiled while shaking his head.
"By the way, Torchic, please start a fire for us. We will be making lunch soon."
Edward pointed to the pile of firewood he had collected before.
Everyone couldn't help but envy Edward for owning such a smart and powerful beast.
[Others are still avoiding wild beasts, but Edward has already tamed them.]
[Torchic can understand human language now.]
[It's incredible!]
