Pokémon: From Magikarp

Seven days passed like this. During these seven days, the members of the archaeological team were excited and worked with full enthusiasm, and they gained a lot one after another.

"The pictures displayed on the big screen now are all the murals that have been cleared out from the core area of ​​the palace ruins..."

In the camp's conference room, Su Yu was standing in front of the screen introducing the team members, including Lin Shi, Su Qimeng and others.

"It is not difficult to see from these murals that they depict the great achievements of the desert queen named Nefertina."

As Su Yu spoke, he turned the big screen, and the murals on it moved one by one, replaying the queen's life like an animation.

Lin Shi was not unfamiliar with the first mural, as it was the one in which humans and elves knelt together to worship the queen. The next mural was a scene in which the queen led the elven army to defeat the enemy and unify the desert. Even though it was just a mural, it could make people feel the bloodiness of that period of history.

After unifying the desert, the queen officially became the ruler. The next mural depicted her using elves to punish humans who had committed crimes. The following pictures were also similar engraved records of the queen's deeds, until the last one.

In that mural, the queen was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, beside her were her favorite scepter and mask, and everyone was kneeling down before her. Death was equal to everyone, even the queen who had dominated the desert for decades.

"After Queen Nefertina passed away, the people of the Desert Kingdom deified her and made her into an omnipotent great god. They built this palace for worship. Of course, I guessed this from the words on the murals and stone tablets..."

Su Yu's speculation is not without reason. Deifying the rulers is a common practice among the ruled.

"Teacher, logically speaking, humans and Pokémon during that period should have been in a state of mutual competition or semi-domestication. How did Queen Neftina manage to control so many Pokémon?"

A student asked doubtfully.

Yes, based on the secret elf ruins that have been unearthed, there is a recognized fact in the Pokémon archaeology community around the world, that is, although humans existed in the original elf world, they did not develop high-tech human civilization.

When these human civilizations were still in a relatively primitive period, they came to an abrupt end for unknown reasons and completely disappeared in the elf world. Only traces of their existence can be found from the unearthed cultural relics.

In that period when even the most primitive Poké Ball had not yet been invented, it was truly incredible that Queen Nefertina could command an astonishing number of elf armies.

“That’s a good question…”

When Su Yu said this, his eyes became hot and his voice suddenly rose.

"According to the written records found in the palace ruins, the legend says that this queen possesses incredible supernatural powers. She can control untamed wild elves and use them for her own purposes."

"It was with this powerful ability and the help of many elves that she was able to be invincible in the desert, establish a desert kingdom, and become the queen of the desert."

"Wow..." Everyone was shocked.

Although various types of Poké Balls have been invented now, after capturing wild Pokémon, as long as the level difference is not too big, you only need to tame them a little to make them obey your commands.

But in fact, the relationship between the elves and their trainers is more like a contractual relationship. They still maintain a high degree of autonomy. If the elves really don't want to listen to you, then there is nothing you can do.

But listening to Su Yu's description, Queen Nefertina does not need external assistance such as Poké Balls, she can control wild Pokémon by herself. This really seems like a manifestation of divine power.

Lin Shi also nodded, and couldn't help feeling a little curious. In the Pokémon animation world, there are indeed many humans with superpowers, such as the Power of Evergreen, the Power of Superpower, and so on. Maybe Queen Neftina is the same as them.

Su Yu pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to keep their voices down, and then said:

"However, because the stone tablet with inscriptions is not yet complete, more information is still unknown."

"But the fragments have been collected almost completely, and they will be pieced together in a few days. I believe there will be new discoveries by then. Everyone has worked hard these days, so I'll give you a break and let you have a good rest for a few days."

Su Yu announced with a smile, after all, only a combination of work and rest can maximize efficiency.

After leaving the meeting room, Lin Shi was thinking about whether he should go out to look for the ghost fire in the next few days. The continuous work in the past few days almost brought his progress in collecting the strange ghost fire in Huayan to a standstill.

"What is Miss Su planning to do these days?"

Lin Shi turned sideways and asked Su Qimeng who was standing side by side with him.

"I'm different from you. I have to stay in the laboratory with my parents these days to carry out the final restoration work on the stone tablet." Su Qimeng spread her hands helplessly.

"Oh." Lin Shi's mind moved. It wasn't a bad thing. After all, if Su Qimeng was busy, she wouldn't notice him sneaking out of the camp.

"Dad also plans to give everyone a surprise. When we come back from vacation, we should be able to see the complete version of the stone tablet."

Su Qimeng flexed her wrists, looking like she was about to do something big. It seemed that staying in the laboratory was not only Professor Su's request, but also her own wish.

Lin Shi expressed his blessing, as long as he was not left in the laboratory. He wanted to vomit when he saw the stone tablet now...

……

On the first day of the holiday, Lin Shi sneaked out of the camp before dawn.

Not far from the camp is the vast Phantom Fire Desert, with dust filling the sky. It is still so desolate and silent. Following the system's instructions, Lin Shi plunged into the desert.

"Circle Bear uses Tile Break!"

The tall Circle Bear used the tile-splitting skill expertly and hit the head of the Big Jaw Ant in front of it with purple eyes. The Big Jaw Ant felt the pain and the quicksand under it sank rapidly. It wanted to escape quickly.

"Don't let it get away, use Freezing Fist."

Circle Bear raised his right fist, braved a burst of cold air, and hit the quicksand. The quicksand was instantly frozen, trapping the giant jaw ant in place, unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of faint purple fire emerged from it and was successfully collected by Lin Shi into the wedge stone fragments.

Progress: 35/108

This is already the 35th group, and the progress is not fast. Finding a group of ghost fire in the vast desert is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. If there is no system assistance, Lin Shi will not be able to collect these at all.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the desert seemed to get dark very early. Lin Shi had no intention of returning to the camp, but instead skillfully set up the tent and planned to spend the night in the wild.

This was already a familiar place for him. How should I put it? Well, it felt like home...

"Igu?"

Suddenly, the bear let out a cry, stood up straight, and looked into the distance with full vigilance.

"What happened to Circle Bear?"

Lin Shi noticed something strange about Circle Bear and followed its gaze. There were several balls of purple flames floating in the sky. Just like what he saw that night, they were spontaneously gathering towards a certain place.

Lin Shi's eyes moved, and he immediately followed...
