Chapter 263 Fengcheng Sea Fishing Competition

In the arena, the echo of Duan Guanjun's announcement lingered, while the discussions at the scene were like a surging tide, one wave after another.

Zhang Leiyuan stood there, his mind still immersed in the various possibilities in the East China region that Duan Guanjun had just mentioned. For a moment, he was a little dazed.

Outside the stadium, media reporters swarmed toward the entrance like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. Security personnel linked arms and formed a human wall, struggling to hold back the surging crowd. The scene was a chaotic mess, a cacophony of shouts and the click of camera shutters.

Zhang Heng anxiously searched for his father in the chaos, and finally caught a glimpse of Zhang Leiyuan in the gap between the crowd.

He struggled to squeeze through the crowd, came to his father, and whispered, "Dad, let's go first." Zhang Leiyuan finally came to his senses and nodded at Zhang Heng, his eyes still filled with confusion and thought.

The father and son avoided the noisy crowd and walked towards the parking lot outside the stadium. Along the way, both were silent, immersed in their own thoughts.

When they arrived at the special car that Zhang had specially prepared, a Pokémon that looked like a clown rolled down the window and raised a hand with spiral patterns on its fingers.

"Blur, blur~"

"Dad, it's Mom's suction cup puppet that's coming to pick us up."

Zhang Heng took the initiative to open the car door. After his father sat down, he also sat in the back seat. Only then did the suction cup puppet start the car.

The car slowly drove out of the arena, and the scene outside the window flashed by like a slideshow. Zhang Heng looked at his father sitting in the back seat with a serious expression. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dad, this match ended in a draw. How did you arrange the final result?"

Zhang Leiyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Guanjun Duan said that my position as champion has been assigned elsewhere. I might be transferred to another area. If I really go, I'm afraid our family will be in a vacuum, and we won't be able to handle anything in time..."

Zhang Heng was filled with confusion after hearing this. He then pressed on, "Transferred to another region? Why? Where?"

Zhang Leiyuan shook his head and said, "East China. Duan Guanjun just mentioned it, saying there are new opportunities and challenges there and asked me to think about it carefully."

The car sped along, soon leaving the city and heading towards Fengcheng. After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Leiyuan broke the silence again, sighing and saying, "Ah Heng, I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple."

Zhang Heng replied, "Dad, with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem. Plus, with Duan Guanjun guarding South China, those forces behind the scenes won't attack us."

The two fell into a brief silence again, the only sound being the rustling of the car as it moved along the road.

The game was in the morning, and it took them seven or eight hours to get home. Now it was evening.

As Fengcheng drew closer, the outline of the Zhang family compound gradually came into view. The Suction Cup Golem slowed down and turned onto the path leading to the compound.

Finally, the car came to a steady stop in front of the Zhang family compound. As soon as the father and son got out of the car, Oliva, the housekeeper Pokémon, hurried over.

It swung its thick branches and arms, the leaves rustled, and it walked quickly towards them, looked at the father and son, and made a gentle call, as if asking if they had been safe on the journey.

Zhang Heng patted Oliva's trunk and said with a smile, "Oliva, we're back. Thank you for your hard work." Oliva shook his head, and the leaves rustled happily.

Accompanied by Oliva, the father and son walked toward the courtyard. Inside, Uncle Luo and Old Man Zhang were sitting at a stone table, chatting happily. Their conversation abruptly stopped when they saw Zhang Leiyuan and Zhang Heng return.

Zhang Heng's face instantly lit up with a warm smile. He quickly stepped forward and called out crisply, "Uncle Luo, Grandpa, we're back!"

Old Master Zhang nodded slightly, his eyes full of kindness, and said, "Ah Heng, it's good to be back. I'm sure you gained a lot from this competition."

Uncle Luo also smiled and echoed: "Ah Heng is back. He feels the charm of the game now. I hope he comes back safely."

Zhang Leiyuan walked in, looking a little tired. He just nodded slightly to the two of them as a greeting without saying much.

At this time, Zhang Leiyuan's mother's voice came from inside the house: "Leiyuan, Ah Heng, come in quickly, the meal is ready."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone walked towards the house together. A family dinner was about to begin, but Zhang Leiyuan's worries about future transfers were like a dark cloud that always hung over his mind and could not be shaken off.

Walking into the restaurant, the family sat around the dining table. Zhang Heng's mother was all smiles as she kept serving food to him, muttering, "Xiao Heng, eat more."

Under the table, Zhang Heng's two Pokémon, Frog and Calling Woof, were also eating with gusto, making cheerful noises from time to time.

The bluebird had already flown back to the backyard to play with its friends.

Zhang Leiyuan sat at the dining table. Although there were delicious dishes in front of him, he was still worried. He just moved his chopsticks mechanically and occasionally forced a smile to respond to his family.

Not long after dinner, Zhang Leiyuan, Old Man Zhang and Uncle Luo looked at each other, stood up tacitly and walked towards the study. They were going to discuss some important matters.

At this time, Zhang Heng's mother sat next to him with a mysterious smile on her face. She said, "Heng, Fengcheng's annual sea fishing competition is about to begin. Are you interested in going?"

Zhang Heng was originally immersed in worry about his father's condition, but after hearing this, he instantly became alert and his eyes lit up.

Zhang Heng's mother saw this and continued, "This is a sea fishing contest. The rules are simple: whoever catches the most Water-attribute Pokémon wins. The winner gets an A-rank Mystic Drop. This contest is sponsored by the Ou Group. They're organizing this marketing campaign specifically to give feedback to Fengcheng's trainers."

Zhang Heng thought to himself that his current team included Bodangshui, Swamp Leaping Fish, Blue Bird, and the aluminum steel dragon egg that had not yet hatched.

The speed of team formation is still slow, and the evolution of Bluebird is still a long way off. If we can capture 1-2 high-qualified water-attribute Pokémon in the sea fishing competition, it will definitely be of great help to the team's strength improvement.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng was naturally very interested.

He quickly said to his mother, "I'm very interested, but isn't the registration period for this competition over?"

Zhang Heng's mother looked at her son's eagerness and smiled as she pulled out a registration ticket from her pocket. She handed it to Zhang Heng and said, "I've known for a while that you're interested in water-type Pokémon, so I already signed you up."

Zhang Heng took the registration ticket with surprise, almost jumping up and down with excitement, saying loudly, "Mom, you're so kind!"

Seeing her son's happy face, Zhang Heng's mother also smiled from ear to ear, her eyes full of doting.

At this time, the discussion of Zhang Leiyuan and the other two could be heard faintly in the study, while Zhang Heng in the restaurant was looking forward to the upcoming sea fishing competition. The future of his family and his personal challenges seemed to have quietly laid a new foreshadowing on this night.
