Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Boom..."

In the hotel private room, Lin Shi was startled by the spray flowers of three people as soon as he entered the door. Looking at the wisps of colorful debris in the air, Lin Shi was really a little amused.

"Congratulations, Lin Shi, for successfully passing the elite level assessment and becoming an elite. I think you should be one of the youngest elite trainers in our school now."

Gao Duo looked at Lin Shi happily, his words full of envy.

After the National Day, Lin Shi went to the Pokémon League Center in Taoxian City today to be certified as an elite trainer. Everything went smoothly and he passed the certification test as expected, becoming a bona fide elite trainer.

Now the number of elves he can subdue has reached twelve, and he no longer has to worry about encountering an elf he likes but not being able to subdue it.

In order to celebrate Lin Shi's achievement of being promoted to elite in his freshman year, their dormitory had a special dinner together.

"By the way, Lin Shi, since there are so many more elves available, do you feel like conquering new elves?"

While eating, Li Fan suddenly asked Lin Shi with great interest.

Lin Shi blinked and looked at Li Fan with some confusion.

"What do you mean, kid?"

"Hehe..." Li Fan scratched his head, smiled and continued.

"If you have this idea, how about choosing to capture an electric-type Pokémon? Not only is it exactly what you lack right now, but the electric-type also has good penetration and defensive abilities."

Lin Shi put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Fan.

"Just say what you want to say. What do you want to do?"

Li Fan didn't keep the secret and took out the tablet and placed it in front of Lin Shi.

"Actually, when you weren't here just now, the three of us were not idle either. We grabbed a task on the school's official website."

"And in such a long time, the four of us in the dormitory haven't done a mission together. It's really unacceptable, so..."

Li Fan licked his lips with his tongue and looked at Lin Shi expectantly.

"Lin Shi, would you consider it?"

Lin Shi did not reply but took Li Fan's computer and looked at the information about the task. His eyes suddenly widened and he said in surprise:

"Thunder Canyon? You dare to go to this place?"

Thunder Canyon is a well-known dangerous place in the entire Shenzhou region. It has a special geographical environment and is subject to constant thunder and lightning all year round. It is an absolute forbidden area for humans. Ordinary people avoid it as much as possible, but they are going there to carry out a mission.

"Don't worry, Lin Shi. I've checked. It's just outside the canyon. Lao Ye and I both have electric-type Pokémon. If you're careful, it should be fine."

"And we can also find some local guides. I heard they have special methods to walk safely in the canyon."

Li Fan seemed to have done some homework, and faced with Lin Shi’s surprise, he quickly explained.

After listening to Li Fan's words, Lin Shi nodded slightly and continued to read the instructions about the task.

"I think it's a good idea, Lin Shi. Let's go together. This will give them a good opportunity to see the strength of our four northern bandits." Gao Duo said while eating.

Ever since their dormitory acted as gangsters during military training and was reported in the newspaper, they have become somewhat famous in the school. Of course, it is hard to say whether this reputation is good or not...

Lin Shi glanced at Gao Duo and asked doubtfully:

"I remember your Pokémons are either water-type or flying-type. How dare you run to a place like this?"

"hey-hey……"

Gao Duo touched his head and smiled complacently.

"I have a secret weapon, don't worry about me."

"Lin Shi, are you going?"

The three of them looked at Lin Shi expectantly. If Lin Shi could join, it would be like holding on to a very strong thigh, which would be of great significance to the successful completion of the mission.

"Um……"

Lin Shi stroked his chin and thought. Actually, he really had nothing to do recently, and staying in school all the time was not conducive to the growth of the elves.

As for what Li Fan said about taming elves, he had also considered it. Electric elves are different from other elves. In addition to their powerful combat capabilities, they can also act as energy sources and can be used for emergency charging in many cases.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi felt a little shaken, and he was actually very curious about the Thunder Canyon, so he finally nodded.

"Okay, I agree, but safety comes first..."

Li Fan and the other two looked at each other and raised their glasses together:

"Lin Shi, toast to you!"

……

"boom……"

"As expected of Thunder Canyon, it's thundering again."

Looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, Gao Duo held his chin and said helplessly.

"To be precise, this place is still far away from the real Thunder Canyon." Ye Wanshu said without raising his head while holding a book.

This is Leisheng Town in Leiming City, the town closest to the forbidden area of ​​Thunder Canyon. Almost all those who plan to enter the valley will rest, replenish supplies or find a guide here.

In other words, the reason why this town exists is entirely because of the Thunder Canyon next to it.

"Didn't Lin Shi and Li Fan go to the Elf Center to find out what's going on? Why haven't they come back yet? I should have gone with them if I had known."

Gao Duo scratched his head in annoyance.

Looking at Gao Duo's appearance, Ye Wanshu shook his head, looking like a hopeless case.

"Alas, you must know that only when you are calm can you be stable, and only when you are stable can you be at peace. You should stay here honestly. They are different from you and are very reliable."

Gao Duo narrowed his eyes at Ye Wanshu and rolled his eyes. He now wanted to go with Lin Shi and the others.

Lin Shi and Li Fan walked together on the road to the Elf Center in Leisheng Town. Their mission this time was a bit complicated.

In recent weeks, unexplained electric shock incidents have occurred near Thunder Canyon, with many town residents and travelers being killed by lightning that suddenly fell from the sky outside the canyon. No one survived.

Although Thunder Canyon is shrouded in lightning all year round, generally speaking, lightning strikes do not occur so frequently outside the canyon. Moreover, it is not the rainy season and it is not a period of frequent lightning activity.

Some witnesses claimed that when lightning struck people, they saw unidentified creatures resembling Pokémon appear on the high mountains outside the Thunder Canyon.

This incident attracted the attention of the authorities to a certain extent, so they issued a related task, requiring the team that accepted the task to verify the authenticity of the unidentified creature. If it is true, it is necessary to confirm its identity and whether it is related to the lightning strike.

Of course, if possible, if we can find the truth behind the frequent lightning strikes, the mission will be accomplished.

This task itself is somewhat dangerous, so the basic points are not low, and the final points will fluctuate depending on the degree of completion and difficulty of the task.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Shi chose to come. After all, he has more elves, so the corresponding points consumed will be more. It is always good to earn more points.

"We're here now." Li Fan said, looking up.

The Elf Center in Leisheng Town is not luxurious, but it has a lot of people. After all, most people who want to enter the valley will come here to inquire about the situation.

"I plan to find two professional guides, what do you think, Lin Shi?"

Lin Shi nodded without commenting.

"Sure, the school will cover it anyway."

Lin Shi naturally agreed. They were completely unfamiliar with the weather and terrain in the canyon. Without a guide, it was unknown whether they could enter the canyon safely, let alone complete the mission.

After entering the Pokémon Center, Lin Shi looked around. Many trainers were accompanied by electric Pokémons. They exuded a strong aura, different from the ordinary Pokémons in school. They had a barbaric aura.

"Hey, this isn't..."

Suddenly a figure came into Lin Shi's sight, touched his chin, curled the corners of his mouth and walked over.
