He’ll ask you if you’ve hooked a Pokémon with a fishing rod at least 3 times.

If you have, he will leave for a house in Polder Town and give you a Pearl.

The same Fisherman will then be in Polder Town, next to the Poke Mart and the Croagunk show.

The Fisherman has received a fishing rod sponsorship from Cube Corp., and as part of that, he wants you to hook as many Pokémon as you can. His first task for you is to hook 10 of them.

To complete the mission, you need to have hooked 10 Pokémon with a fishing rod.

“Hooked” means attracted into battle – you don’t have to capture or even defeat them, you can escape from battle and it will still count.
