Fairy Ocean Fireworks

"Then what? Where did Magikarp go?"

"It went off to Leapland, and I met it again two years later."

……

That day, seven-year-old Xinyi was playing alone on a beach on Butterfly Island when he suddenly discovered a carp pushed onto the beach by the waves.

is it?

Xinyi recognized this Magikarp. It was so special. The scales on its body were not as shiny as other Magikarp. Instead, they were red, dark red.

Red to gray, dull scales, a mutilated dorsal fin, and scars all over his body, lying weakly on the beach and being beaten by the waves, this was the Carp King that Xinyi saw at that time.

Xinyi quickly ran over and tried to pick up the Magikarp, but he didn't expect that it was extra heavy, much heavier than an ordinary Magikarp. He tried his best to pick it up, but still stumbled and fell.

"Are you okay? Magikarp!"

The edges of the pebbles on the beach were very sharp and cut several wounds on Xinyi's palms, knees and calves. However, Xinyi stood up and walked towards Magikarp King despite the pain.

"Crack."

Carp King seemed to be hurt by the fall, and slowly opened his eyes and rolled them.

It also discovered Xinyi, and its eyes suddenly lit up.

"Kuuuuuuuu!"

It wanted to turn its body, but the severe pain in its body prevented it from gathering the strength.

"Don't move yet, I'll call someone over right away to take you to the Elf Center!"

Before Xinyi ran to ask for help, he poured all the water from his water bottle into King Carp's mouth. Seeing it try hard to open its mouth and suck in the fresh water, Xinyi felt relieved.

……

In the Elf Center of Butterfly Island, Xinyi, Xinwu and Sachiko were sitting on chairs in the waiting area.

"Kids, Magikarp has recovered, but his body is still very weak. Don't let him continue high-intensity training. Let him rest for a while."

Joey and Happy Egg pushed Carp King to Xinyi and the others, and Joey gave instructions to Xinyi.

Without explaining his relationship with Magikarp, Shinyi stood up and walked quickly to the stretcher, looking at each other happily with Magikarp.

After returning home with King Carp, Xinyi couldn't help but smile when he looked at King Carp swimming in the small pool outside the house, feeling frustrated.

"King Carp, when you fully recover, I will take you to the sea."

"Kuuuuuuuuu."

Carp King looked indifferent and continued to swim around the edge of the pool, swimming faster and faster.

"Are you training yourself? Miss Joy said you can't train yet."

"Crack."

Carp King slowed down, raised his eyelids, glanced at Xinyi, and continued to swim faster.

"..."

Seeing that Carp King ignored him, Xinyi was also very depressed, so he continued to find a topic, rolled his eyes, and there it was!

"King Magikarp, what have you been doing these two years? I heard that Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados by crossing the Leap Land. Have you gone?"

After hearing Xin Yi's words, Carp King stopped.

"Crack."

It nodded.

“I’ve really been there!”

Xinyi didn't expect that he would get an affirmative answer after asking casually.

He had watched a scholar's speech. Most of the Magikarp had never been to the Leap Land in their lives, which was the stage for the strongest among the Magikarp. Unexpectedly, this Magikarp that he rescued from the sewer had also been there.

"Then you should have failed. It's okay. Failure is the mother of success. If you persist, you will definitely succeed."

Carp King didn't respond, he just looked at Xinyi with a strange look in his eyes.

"Huh? Did it succeed?"

Magikarp nodded.

"Then how come you...it seems that there is a chance that you won't be able to evolve even if you make it through. It's okay. You've made it through once. Just keep going. Anyway, there are quite a few leap places. You won't be allowed to evolve here. That's it. No such honor."

Xinyi comforted him forcefully.

"Crack."

The Carp King seemed to realize something and continued swimming.

After half a month like this, King Carp finally recovered his health under Xinyi's care.

Shinyi picked up Magikarp and placed him in a wheelbarrow filled with water, then pushed the wheelbarrow toward the beach.

"thump!"

At Xin Yi's signal, Carp King jumped up and jumped into the sea water.

"Kuuuuuuuu!"

"Do you want me to come down and swim with you?"

"Crack."

"Ok!"

Shinyi took off his coat and jumped into the sea wearing shorts.

Shinyi and Carp King played in the sea for a long time until the sun went down.

"Goodbye, Carp King, you will definitely succeed, I believe in you!"

"Crack!"

……

"This is how I met Magikarp for the second time." Xinyi finished speaking and leaned back on the chair.

"Is there a third time?" Cheng Xia noticed the hidden meaning in her words.

"Yes, I was ten years old then."

"At ten years old, you can officially raise elves."

"Yeah, that time I met it and I said, 'Be my partner.'"

"It didn't agree?"

"Yes."

……

On the streets of Manjin City.

"Xinyi, you will celebrate your tenth birthday in a few days, and you will be able to have your own initial elf. Do you have any ideas?"

Xinwu put his hand on Xinyi's shoulder and turned to look at his son who looked sad and asked.

In the past, although this child was sentimental from time to time, in general, he was still a lively and cheerful child. For some reason, he often looked sad in the past few months, and the neighbors suspected that he had abused the child.

"casual."

"How can the original elves be so casual! Or just listen to me and tame the stupidest Kodak Duck!"

Seeing his son looking at him with disgust, Xinwu felt a little embarrassed and said in relief:

"How about the Yusanjia? I'll ask which breeding house has the newly cultivated water-type Yusanjia."

"No need, I'll find it myself."

"Find it yourself..." Xinwu wanted to say something else, but found that Xinyi had already walked away.

Alas~ Why is my child rebellious before she reaches puberty?

With a helpless sigh, Xinwu had no choice but to follow him first. This was a big city with a mixed bag of fish and dragons. It would not be good for Xinyi to be kidnapped.

Xinyi felt his father following behind him and sighed in his heart.

In fact, he is not rebellious or anything, but his mind is too uncomfortable. Many times, he has no energy to think about the outside world. As a result, when he gets along with people recently, he seems to be indifferent to both strangers and acquaintances.

He has suffered from headaches since he was a child. Whenever he recalls the past life too much, he will have severe headaches, but they are not as severe and frequent as now.

Logically speaking, I have been here for ten years. I have forgotten everything about my past life and kept it in my heart.

Why do those memories become more and more penetrating into my heart and become more unforgettable? The beauty and sadness of my past life linger in my heart all the time.

Perhaps choosing to completely forget can eliminate this pain. The magic of the elven world can really do this, and some powerful elves with super powers can do it.

But, I don’t want to, don’t want to forget.

Why forget?

Xinyi was as stubborn as ever, or rather nostalgic.

"King Magikarp! The super powerful King Magikarp! He is the King Magikarp who successfully challenged the Leap Land! Everyone, come and see!"

A shouting sound caught Xinyi's attention, and he followed the sound to a small alley. A middle-aged man wearing a turban was standing behind a small stall, shouting continuously.

"Illegal selling of elves may result in a penalty of more than five years and up to death."

Xinyi stood in front of the stall and said coldly.

"It's not serious for me. I'll be locked up for a few days at most." The uncle chuckled. He was a little brat who dared to meddle in other people's business.

"I have already called the police." The tall Xinwu stood behind Xinyi, looking down at the middle-aged uncle with a calm expression on his face.

"I'll go right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man rubbed oil on his soles and disappeared from the sight of the father and son.

Xinyi nodded to his father and opened the cover of the stall, revealing a Carp King.

"It's you!"

"Who?" Xinwu also took a closer look at the Carp King and found that it was actually the one that was recovering from injuries at his home three years ago.

"Old acquaintance, it seems that you have committed a lot of crimes. Come, I will take you to the elf center!" As he said that, Xinwu pushed the stall cart and headed out of the alley, with Xinyi pushing it beside him.

It was quite far from the Elf Center. The two of them pushed for half an hour to get there. The medical staff of the Elf Center immediately sent Magikarp to the emergency room.

"King Magikarp's situation is much more serious than it appears. Please be mentally prepared."

After a while, Miss Joy came out and said to the father and son.

"This!"

"Don't worry, the best doctors in our center are inside to rescue him. This Magikarp's vitality is very tenacious, and there is a high probability that it will be fine. However, I need to tell you in advance the worst case scenario that may happen."

"Thank you Miss Joy, we understand."

The father and son sat on chairs in the waiting area, waiting anxiously.

"Xinyi, it's okay."

Xinwu patted Xinyi on the shoulder and looked at Xinyi firmly.

"Ok!"

Seemingly gaining strength from his father's words, Xinyi also sat upright, closing his eyes and waiting for the result.

-

"The Magikarp should have been cured in the end, right?"

"No, its injuries are very serious. The key is the hidden injuries accumulated over many years. Moreover, because it grew up in the sewer, its basic physical development is very poor. Even if it later got some compensation in the sea area with sufficient food, its body The foundation is still not very good.”

"In addition, Magikarp has been undergoing high-intensity exercises in order to break through the Leap Land, which has greatly depleted his vitality. At that time, the rescue efforts of the Elf Center can only be said to have stabilized his body that was about to collapse."

"Do you know? How many times has Magikarp traveled through the leaping lands in three years! Eight times! A total of eight times! The distance between each leaping land is not close, which means that it has been swimming and moving forward. rush."

-

"King Carp, the pool is much bigger this time. After you left that time, I emptied the water in it and came to dig a few times from time to time."

Xinyi pointed to the much larger pool in front of him. At this time, his father's iron-clawed lobster was pouring water into it.

"Kuuuuuuuuu."

Carp King looked at Xinyi's face that was slightly twisted due to pain, feeling a little strange and a little worried.

"Are you asking me what's wrong? It's okay."

Xin Yiqiang smiled and waved his hand.

Recalling the past life and thinking too much will give you a headache. If you add the memories of the Carp King a few years ago in this life, the pain will be even worse.

Magikarp fell silent, just staring at the gradually filling pool.

A few days later, Xinyi took Magikarp to the beach. Watching Magikarp swimming happily in the sea, his headache was relieved a lot.

"King Magikarp, you still want to go to the Leap Land, right?"

"Kalu." Carp King stopped, looked at Xinyi, and nodded affirmatively.

"I'll accompany you."

This simple sentence made King Carp a little stunned.

"Your body is very weak now. It is best to only do moderate swimming training every day and take a lot of supplements. Don't worry, I will prepare this. In addition, there is a very powerful old doctor on this island who knows a kind of Special treatment methods are very effective for dark wounds caused by elf training and battles."

"I will take you to him for treatment once a day, and then to the elf center to receive the healing wave of the happy egg. Then I will accompany you to the sea for training. After the training, I will go home to eat and rest."

"Kuuuuuuuuu?"

"Why should I help you like this?"

"Kalu." Carp King nodded.

"Maybe it's because... I envy you."

"Crack?"

"It's strange. I'm very confused now. I don't know where the future is? You know what you want to do, but I don't know. I used to know it."

Magikarp seemed to have never encountered this kind of problem before, so he could only respond silently.

"Can you tell me your story? I'm a little curious, and I seem to be able to roughly understand what you are saying. I can feel your..."

Magikarp nodded and did not refuse.

……

"It turns out that the place you lived in when you were a child was so...so miserable."

After listening to Magikarp's story, Xinyi couldn't help but sympathize with Magikarp's plight. When he saw Magikarp coming out of the sewer, he wasn't too surprised.

After all, the knowledge from the textbook showed that King Magikarp is an extremely tenacious elf that can survive in many harsh environments, but he did not expect that the cruelty of the city's sewers was far beyond imagination.

The food is only all kinds of garbage. This is acceptable to the iron stomach and steel intestines of the Magikarp. The focus is on the fear of being kept in captivity by predators and the scarcity of spiritual energy.

Generally speaking, psychic energy can be found everywhere in the world, and the density is about the same (a few places are higher). However, human city sewers have everything and all ingredients, which can actually reduce the density of psychic energy.

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely help you recover next!"

For the next month, every day, Shinyi would take Magikarp to the old doctor on the island to receive bloody treatment - the sharp knife scratched Magikarp's body again and again, and some black blood kept flowing out.

Finally, wrap the pounded herbs, and then go to the elf center to receive a healing wave. Under the action of the healing wave, the wound will recombine, and the herbs will be kept on for an hour before being removed.

Then comes training.

As time went by, Magikarp's body recovered very well, and the training intensity continued to increase. Shini also came up with many good training methods, which allowed Magikarp to improve quickly in all aspects.

During this period, Xinyi slowly returned to his original cheerfulness, his tense nerves relaxed a lot, and his headache symptoms were relieved a lot.

"Are you going?"

"Crack."

"Actually, I can always stay with you, just become my partner!"

Carp King looked into Xinyi's eyes and felt warm in his heart.

It slowly closed its eyes and its vision turned pitch black. This was its favorite thing to do in recent years when it encountered a choice.

The surroundings were pitch black, as if he had returned to the sewer world that was lightless and full of filth all day long, where it could be most sensitive.

A picture emerged in its mind, the fear of avoiding Arbor snakes in the sewer, the despair of being sucked into a tornado while fighting a storm on the sea, the joy of leaping over a waterfall, the sadness of failed evolution...

A picture and a paragraph are fixed in my mind.

"It's really unimaginable. Where did you live before? So many highly toxic compounds and heavy metals are accumulated in your body, and you are still alive today?" The old doctor's voice was filled with surprise and deep worry.

----

No, I can't be your partner.

Why? ! !

You don't need a useless partner, I can't evolve anymore!

Of course you can evolve, you will definitely evolve, don’t you still have to go to the Land of Leap?

I still want to try.

I accompany you!

I don’t know how many more times I can try. You should embark on your own path, just like what you said to me that day, a childhood dream, a dream in another world.

----

Looking at the Carp King walking away, Shin-yi burst into tears, and the scenes of her heart-to-heart talk with the Carp King a few days ago kept emerging.

my dream?my dream!

After a long time, tears finally stopped dripping from the boy's cheeks.

At this time, Xinyi felt that his brain had never been clearer before, and he turned around and walked home.

Back home, Xinyi looked at his father and sister who were waiting for him, and couldn't help but laugh. He turned back into the child playing in the arms of his father and sister.

"Dad, where is the stupidest duck you mentioned last time?"
