Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Meow."

A blue and black lion-like Pokémon howled at Fang Qi.

Fang Qi smiled and reached out to touch the somewhat tough hair of the Roentgen cat. It had been almost half a year since the college entrance examination, and the Roentgen cat's injuries had mostly healed.

And it was a blessing in disguise. Although the red electric current seemed to be completely exhausted and could no longer be used, the slight bit of power that was integrated into the original electric current of the Roentgen cat was enough to benefit it greatly.

After such a long time, he returned here with Roentgen Cat to train again. Fang Qi clenched his fists, his eyes full of fighting spirit. He was determined to defeat Lin Shi the next time they met!

"Isn't this Fang Qi? What a coincidence."

Lin Shi's voice came from behind Fang Qi. Fang Qi's eyes suddenly widened and he slowly turned his head to look in disbelief.

"Lin...Lin Shi? Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Lin Shi shrugged indifferently, then patted Fang Qi's shoulder.

"What's with that expression on your face? It doesn't look like you've met an old classmate, it looks more like you've met a creditor."

Fang Qi twitched his lips and forced a smile. He hated and feared Lin Shi, but also felt a little grateful. It was so complicated...

"By the way, I heard that you come here to train often. You should be very familiar with Thunder Canyon, right?"

Fang Qi frowned and nodded.

"It's fine. What? You want to go into the valley? Now is not a good time. Haven't you seen the news about the many fatal lightning strikes?"

"I know."

Lin Shi nodded, did not hide anything, and said directly:

"Actually, the main reason I came here this time is for this matter. Have you ever heard that someone witnessed an unidentified creature when a lightning strike occurred?"

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Fang Qi's expression looked a little strange.

"I have heard of this, and that person is me."

Fang Qi pointed his finger at his face and said.

"You?" Lin Shi was stunned at first, then he laughed.

It's really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.

Seeing Lin Shi's expression, Fang Qi probably knew what he was thinking, so he sighed and said:

"If you want to get more information from me, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. In fact, I only caught a glimpse of her that day and didn't see the details at all. Maybe I was dazzled."

That being said, Fang Qi felt that he was not mistaken. He still remembered that day when he took the Roentgen cat to the canyon for training as usual.

But before entering, he found the sky strange. The whole sky was covered with dark clouds and gray. A vortex of dark clouds was formed that was enough to cover the entire sky, and bright lightning was wandering in the dark clouds.

It was at this moment that he suddenly noticed something on the hillside in the distance. He thought it was a tree until it began to dance...

Immediately afterwards, a light red lightning descended from the sky. The lightning was fleeting, broke through the scope of the canyon, and actually struck outside.

For his own safety, Fang Qi gave up the action and returned to the town. Only later did he hear that someone had died in a lightning strike.

Although Fang Qi said that Lin Shi could not get any clues from him, at Lin Shi's strong request, he still explained the situation to him clearly.

"Is this so..."

Lin Shi touched his chin. If what Fang Qi said was true, then the elf should be human-shaped, slender, and may have strong lightning powers.

However, Lin Shi did not come to a conclusion. After all, Fang Qi's description was too vague and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

"Are you still planning on entering the canyon?"

Lin Shi asked immediately.

Hearing Lin Shi's words, Fang Qi was slightly stunned, then nodded decisively.

"Of course, this little setback won't stop me and the Roentgen cat."

"Oh?" Lin Shi looked at him with some admiration.

"When do you plan to go?"

"It will take some time. We need to find a guide." Fang Qi replied in a deep voice.

Lin Shi was a little surprised.

"You still need a guide? Aren't you familiar with this area?"

Fang Qi smiled at Lin Shi, shook his head and said:

"No, I was in another area before, so I have a general understanding of the situation here."

"And the guides in Thunder Canyon are different from those in other places. In addition to leading the way, they also have to protect the safety of people in the canyon."

"You also know that the weather conditions in Thunder Canyon are extreme, but because of the rich electrical energy, it is not only suitable for the cultivation of electrical elves, but also breeds a lot of rare electrical resources."

"This has attracted many trainers to enter this dangerous area, and thus gave rise to special guides unique to Thunder Canyon."

Fang Qi stroked the Roentgen cat's head and continued.

"These guides are not only proficient in the routes. Each of them also trains 1-2 special Pokémon. They generally have the characteristics of lightning rods, power storage or electrical engines, which are used to protect people from natural electric currents in the Thunder Canyon."

Hearing this, Lin Shi understood in his heart that it was indeed true. If there were a few elves with such characteristics in the canyon, they could indeed avoid being harmed by nature to a great extent.

"Have you found a guide yet?"

"Not yet." Fang Qi shook his head.

"Because of these recent accidents, people entering the canyon are more concerned about their life safety, resulting in a serious shortage of guides with special elves."

"Cough cough..."

"Excuse me, my two little brothers."

Just as the two were talking, a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard suddenly came up to them and interrupted their conversation.

"Uncle, what's up?"

The bearded man straightened his clothes and said cheerfully:

"I just overheard that the two brothers were looking for a guide to enter the canyon. To be honest, I am a guide nearby. You can see how dirty I am because I just came out of the canyon."

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything to him, Fang Qi spoke first.

"Then uncle, you also have an elf suitable for the weather in the canyon."

"Of course." The uncle nodded complacently.

"I have a diamond-horned rhinoceros with lightning rod properties. It has reached elite level and is enough to ensure the safety of several people walking in the canyon."

"Really? That's great." Fang Qi's eyes lit up.

Compared with other characteristics, lightning rod is of course better, its ability to actively absorb current is unmatched by other characteristics.

"Hey Lin Shi, what do you think?"

Fang Qi poked Lin Shi and said.

Lin Shi touched his chin, thought for a while and said:

"Yes, yes..."

"Wait a minute. If you two choose me as your guide, I have a small condition. I wonder if you can bring my son along." The uncle interrupted Lin Shi and said anxiously.

"Son?" Lin Shi was stunned.

"You have been through life and death, and you brought your son with you?"

"Hehe...I am ashamed to say this."

"My son dropped out of high school and is not a promising person. So I hope he can live up to his father's standards, so I specially let him train a lightning zebra with electrical engine characteristics."

"Don't worry, he won't cause you any trouble. I also hope to train him more. If you agree, I can give you a discount on the guide fee."

The uncle's words were sincere and heartfelt, and he really looked like a parent who was worried about his child...
