Fairy Ocean Fireworks

This is a dark world filled with filth.

There is no light and no hope.

I am Carp King, born and raised here.

I have never seen the light, nor do I know that I am trapped in darkness.

The world seems to be just the way it is.

Until another Magikarp showed me the light.

From its mouth, I learned for the first time that I came from a great race.

Magikarp, the originally weak Magikarp can evolve into the powerful Gyarados.

Gyarados, this word, in the Elvish language that is born with it, has a powerful and violent feeling as long as it is spoken.

It turns out that I can evolve into a Gyarados!

The other Magikarp is my senior. I heard from other Magikarp that it came from the outside world, so it knows a lot about the outside world.

Is there a world outside?

The senior said that outside, there are many clean and vast waters, where countless carp kings and their patron saints, Gyarados, live.

Under the threat of Gyarados, the Magikarp Kings were able to have many stable and safe breeding grounds.

Most elves are afraid of the ferocity of Gyarados, but it is precisely because of the existence of Gyarados that we, the Magikarp, are not regarded as useless waste and scum, and are not bullied at will, hunted, and treated as toys.

Safety?What does it feel like to be safe?

I listened quietly to the conversation between Senior and the other Magikarp Kings.

It turns out that the place where we live is the underground sewer of a large human city.

This is a very large underground world, with many elves living in it, but the one belonging to Magikarp is only the dirtiest and smelliest area in this dirty sewer.

Even the Rattadas are not willing to live here, except for the Occasionally the Stinky Muds who come here for a meal.

But we can only live here - because we are weak.

This is the gathering area of ​​a large number of drainage pipes, and it is also the breeding ground for our Carp King.

Ever since I was a kid, I've often sensed something scary coming, and then I've lost a companion, sometimes several.

I was lucky enough to grow into adulthood.

I happily told my seniors about my luck.

It smiled coldly.

"You were born with more meat than us, so they want you to save seeds."

A kind of fear instantly enveloped my whole body.

I searched frantically for words in the Elvish language that could describe this feeling, but I couldn't find any.

My fear is not known to others either.

I can't help but think of what my predecessors said before about a safe living area.

Safety, this is a feeling I have never experienced before, it should be good.

I asked my senior, how can I evolve into a Gyarados?

Senior said: The place of leap.

The one who can evolve into Gyarados must be the most perseverant and courageous Magikarp among the Magikarp group. They will attack Leap Lands scattered around the world.

In the Land of Leap, there are turbulent rivers and majestic waterfalls that flow straight down. But King Magikarp's choice is to go upstream!

After rushing through the rapids and rushing up the high waterfall, Magikarp will be qualified to evolve. They will receive ancient blessings, and most of them can evolve into Gyarados.

most?Does that mean there are still evolution failures?

The Leap Land is also the best breeding ground for Magikarp, and most of the losers will choose to breed in the same place.

After the next generation is produced here, King Magikarp will lose a lot of vitality and completely lose the possibility of evolution.Therefore, some Magikarp who are extremely eager to evolve will not choose to reproduce, but will continue to attack other leap places until they succeed or die.

After saying this, the senior rubbed his abdomen against me. There was a terrifying scar there, which was wrinkled to the touch.

It was scratched by a sharp rock protruding from the top of the waterfall when the predecessor was attacking the leaping place from the outside world a long time ago.

Senior’s favorite thing to do is to let us little Magikarp touch his scar. When we make a sound of exclamation, he will always swim laps happily.

Senior is different from us. He comes from the outside world. He was conquered by a human and then abandoned here at will.

He is very tenacious. After experiencing the hunting of Rattata, Arbor Snake, etc., he came to the only place where Carp King can survive in this underground world.

The reason why the predecessor was abandoned by humans is because it has lost the possibility of evolution.

After successfully challenging the Leap Land and rushing to the final Lake of Evolution, it failed to evolve. It was one of the few that was devastated by the failure and chose to reproduce.

It gives hope to the next generation.

After leaving the Leap Land, the predecessor drifted with the tide and came to the sea near this city. A human saw that it was very strong and wanted to conquer it.

Since the senior had no intention of resisting, he was directly subdued by this human using the Poké Ball.

Later, after humans discovered the physical condition of their predecessors, they threw him into the sewer.

What kind of existence are human beings?

The senior didn't answer.

"I want to evolve."

I said to my senior.

I began to look for a way to the outside world, but everyone advised me that the way to the outside world was too dangerous. With the strength of Magikarp, it was impossible to pass through the hunting areas of Rattata and Arbor snakes.

Moreover, because the Magikarp has not left here for many generations, no one knows how to lead to the outside world, except... senior!

But he refused to say, he was afraid, he had lost the will to move forward, and only when he rubbed the scar on his belly with a stone, there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

I tried many, many times, but apart from adding a few horrible scars to my body, I couldn't find any way to the outside world.

Until that day...

On that day, the water flow in the sewer became smaller on time. This was also the only way for the elves living in the underground world to obtain time information.

That day, there was an air of uneasiness throughout the waterway.

All of us Magikarp gathered together, trembling under this sudden terror, waiting for their fate.

That day, in my memory there is only the smell of blood, blood was everywhere!There's blood everywhere!The blood of Magikarp!

Everyone was running around in fear.

I felt something sharp scratch my body, blood spurted out, and I swam in a panic in one direction.

Suddenly, a figure stopped me.

It's senior! He shouted at me loudly and quickly, and then slammed me into the entrance of a waterway. He immediately jumped back and collided with an Abo monster that pounced on me at an unknown time, and then... …

Even now, I can't imagine how Magikarp managed to speak so fast. It's so funny, hahaha!Ha ha!ha……

I laughed, cried, and swam.

……

I swam in the direction my senior said for a long time.

During this period, I didn’t encounter the predators from the past a few times, and I would quietly hide away from them when they did.

After swimming for a long time, a sound that I had never heard before began to appear, a bit like the sound of our Magikarp's tail slapping the water, which made people a little scared and a little expectant.

When I jumped into a passage above, I saw her from a distance. I had never seen her before, but she had been recurring in my dreams. I had imagined her countless times, but when she When she really appeared in front of me, I realized how lacking my imagination was, and I didn’t know how to describe her.

Ah, so beautiful.

Light, this is light!

I swam desperately toward the bright opening in the distance.

Finally, I swam there and the light illuminated my whole body.Even though my eyes were filled with stinging pain, I kept my eyes open.

I opened my eyes wide as I had never seen this world before, trying to see the whole world clearly and imprint everything in my mind.

It was not until a long time later that I ate a strange ice-blue waterweed and my eyesight recovered, that I realized that the world I had seen before was a blurred world.

"Snapped!"

A familiar stench came, and then a huge force hit my side. In an instant, my body flew up uncontrollably, and then landed on a hard, warm place.

Arbor snake or Arbor monster?But it’s not important anymore!

Is this the earth that the seniors mentioned?The sun is shining, so warm.

Um?Why is the light dimmed?Could it be the dark night that senior mentioned?

I took a closer look, upright, limbs, strange head?

Although it was the first time I saw the world clearly, I still understood what it was in an instant.

Is this human?Is that the human who abandoned his predecessors?

He seemed to say something, but I never heard it, but I seemed to sense his kindness.

He sprayed something on my wound. It was cool and comfortable, and I felt much better.

He gave me some weird food again and it was delicious.

Immediately afterwards, he picked me up and ran away to who knows where.

I stayed still and let him hold me.

Suddenly, what did I see?Is that water?Why isn't it black?

It looks so...so beautiful!And everything you see is water. This should be the sea. The senior said that he was born in a lake on a small island in the sea.

Although I don’t know what an island is or what a lake is, it feels great!

An impulse welled up from the bottom of my heart, I thought!I think!I……

I struggled hard to get rid of the human hands and jumped into the sea.

This is awesome!
