I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. Yanyan, let's go. I'll take you to train Magikarp."

Li Ran took Yanyan to the beach. Many people had already set up small chairs and hoists. Under a coconut tree nearby, one could vaguely see a few blue crabs with big fists carrying some tree fruits.

After choosing a place with fewer people, Li Ran asked Yanyan to release the Magikarp.

"Come out, little carp."

The red fish shadow fell directly to the place where the blue sea and the sand met. The Magikarp became panicked because it suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar place. It kept jumping up and splashing the surrounding wet sand everywhere.

"This is unlucky fish."

Li Ran was speechless. It was clearly not far from the water surface, but it was still jumping around in the same place. He had no choice but to pick up the Magikarp and put it within range for it to swim freely.

After entering the water, the Magikarp gradually calmed down because it saw its master.

"I've checked here. There are no very aggressive water-type Pokémon. Let Magikarp follow you first and get familiar with it."

Yanyan responded and stood near the Magikarp, walking back and forth until the Magikarp caught up with her pace. Only then did Li Ran start to move on to the next step.

"There's a Magikarp over there too. Let's see if we can get it to perform a ramming move."

Yanyan followed the direction of Li Ran's finger and saw a carp kingfisher that was almost as clumsy as the little carp.

"Xiaoli! Use impact!"

Yanyan pointed her finger forward and took a step forward with her right foot with great momentum. She had learned a lot during the Spark Cup competition and had been imagining the poses before.

"Boom."

The Magikarp stood there in a daze, spitting out a transparent bubble. From its wise eyes, it could be seen that it didn't understand at all.

Yanyan: -_-||

"Xiao Shui, explain and demonstrate it to it."

This was within Li Ran's expectations. Xiao Shui, who was following beside him, nodded and also submerged himself in the water. He spoke to Xiao Li several times in the elf's voice and then rushed into the air.

"Xiaoli, do it again, hit it!"

Yanyan got the hint and gave the command again. The little carp sank into the water. With Xiaoshui's personal translator beside it, Xiaoshui repeated it six or seven times in a row. Finally, it slowly flapped its tail fin and swam forward.

At about the same speed as walking, it touched the Magikarp's body with its head. From the perspective of Li Ran and the others, it was as if the little carp kissed the Magikarp.

Li Ran: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻

Even a primary collision cannot cause no damage at all!

But the other Magikarp felt it and inexplicably felt angry. I was actually kissed forcibly!

So it swung its arms like crazy, made a leap, and its tail fin hit the little carp's face accurately. The little carp was pushed away for a distance. After it stopped and recovered, it actually started crying in the water.

"See, Yanyan, if there is a boy like Xiaoli, you have to defend your rights like that Magikarp."

Li Ran spoke calmly, not feeling guilty at all for Xiaoli being beaten. Instead, he used this opportunity to educate Yanyan.

Seeing Yanyan nodded in confusion, Li Ran turned his attention back to Xiaoli. It was indeed a bit magical that tears could be seen in the water.

"Why are you crying? You are a boy, you should apologize if you do something wrong!"

Xiaoli: I may not be a human, but you are a real fish!

"Forget it, let's change the target, to someone of the same gender."

Li Ran started looking for other elves again, and soon found a Magikarp. This one was much smaller and looked like it was easy to bully.

"Xiaoli uses the impact again!"

Seeing that his coquettish actions were futile, Xiaoli could only silently make a note of Li Ran, and then he gritted his teeth and rushed in that direction again.

Just when its body was about to hit the Magikarp, the smaller Magikarp actually moved and bumped into the little carp's mouth directly. Then it slowly exposed its head, spit lightly in the direction of Li Ran and the others, and then swam away quickly and disappeared from Li Ran's sight.

......

"This Magikarp is much smarter than the little carp."

Li Ran forced a smile, the veins on his forehead bulging. He was actually mocked by a fish, but he couldn't lose his composure in front of Yanyan.

Yanyan sighed, walked to the little carp and gently touched its scales.

"Xiaoli, I'll feed you some brain silver when the time comes."

The little carp had no idea and thought Yanyan was trying to comfort it. It even rubbed her hand affectionately on purpose. It turned out that the master really loves me.

Li Ran then refused to believe it and found several more Magikarp. Little Li was beaten back by the wild Magikarp countless times. He returned to Yanyan and cried. He covered his head and felt a little swollen.

"How about we eat braised carp today..."

"No! This is my little carp!"

Seeing this, Yanyan became a little anxious, thinking that he was really going to eat Xiaoli, so she stood in front of Xiaoli and pretended to protect her child.

"No, let's go back and teach it slowly."

Seeing the yellow glow on the coastline, Li Ran decided to go home as he had not gained anything today. If he continued teaching, he could imagine what the front-page headlines of the media would be tomorrow.

[Shocked! A young man was angered to death by Magikarp! ]

But on the bright side, this Magikarp is dumber than its peers, which means that after evolving it will definitely be more obedient than the ordinary Gyarados.

Thinking of this, Li Ran smiled normally and pulled Yanyan back to the camp.

"How did you two harvest this afternoon?"

Seeing Li Ran coming back, Hong Pang naturally started talking to him. It was rare for his family to let him go out alone with his friends. He had a lot of fun today and caught a lot of new elves to add vitality to his big yard.

"It's hard to explain. How about you give Magikarp a try?"

Li Ran shook his head silently, but after seeing Hong Pang, he still had some other thoughts. What if Hong Pang had the physique of the legendary Foot of Evolution?

"Forget it, that's Yanyan's elf. Besides, if I really kick it and it evolves, I will be hated by the Tyrannosaurus for the rest of my life..."

Hong Pang imagined the scene and couldn't help but shudder.

However, seeing Yanyan hiding the Poké Ball in her arms in fear, Li Ran gave up the idea and decided to wait and see the bond between Xiaoli and Yanyan.

For dinner, Li Ran specially went out to buy fresh fish as ingredients.

Yanyan looked at the braised fish on the table and fell into deep thought. The Poké Ball belonging to Xiaoli in her pocket shook slightly.

Zuo Feifei ate with gusto. Fish was scarce in her area, so she didn't eat much. After tasting it, she felt her taste buds were awakened. However, when she looked at Hong Pang, she stopped the urge to get a second bowl of rice...
