>>20641388You are Calem, the ambiguously-aged 15-16 year old boy from Vaniville Town. After having gone through thick and thin to stop Team Flare's nefarious beautification plot, you succeeded in deactivating the Ultimate Weapon, severely lowering its power to a mere fraction of its maximum. This and a mixture of Lysandre's arrogance are what ultimately brought an end to the weapon's reign, and forced the dark red skies to retreat back from whence they came.
The team, disbanded. The Ultimate Weapon, stuck in a cavern in pieces. Lysandre, nowhere to be found, presumably crushed by boulders. The world, once again at peace.
Of course, while this means that you are nothing short of a hero to the unvierse, you don't feel like one. After separating from her, you decided to take a lengthy vacation of sorts to get your mind back into the game, to refresh yourself and get ready for the many trials that lie ahead of you.
This is why you're fishing, in a rag-tag rickety wood boat smack dab in the middle of a lake on Route 18. Vallée Étroite Way, as it's more formally known as.
Fishing helps with the process by half-assing it into some sort of mental competition for yourself. The only way you can leave that past behind so that you can return to it later is to experience what it /truly/ feels like to reel in a big bite of the tastiest aquactic Pokemon out there, and to take a big raw bite out of its living flesh, and to savor each and every last morsel.
So far, there's no bites yet.
A) Screw the Super Rod, yank out the net and go full force.
B) Recall a tip that the local Old Wise Fisherman gave you.
C) Go for a swim despite having mediocre swimming skills.
D) Encounter and have a chat with the Enchanted Talking Bait of the Lake
