Pokémon: From Magikarp

The next day, the sun was warm and the sky was clear.

"Gyarados, a Gyarados, you have a really wonderful feeling... meow..."

Lin Shi was humming a song. Today's vacation would continue. He wanted to take Gyarados out for a stroll to gain some jealousy points.

"Aunt? What is she doing?"

As soon as he arrived at the beach, Lin Shi saw Ren Yuyao from afar standing on the side of the road, playing with something with great interest.

"I can sing." Ren Yuyao said.

"I can sing." A hoarse but clear voice followed.

"I can dance." Ren Yuyao continued.

"I can dance." The voice was obviously imitating Ren Yuyao's words and repeated them again. Not only that, even the tone was exactly the same.

"Hehe, this is really interesting." Ren Yuyao looked a little excited, licked her lips, and continued:

"I can fly."

"You fart!"

Ren Yuyao:……?

After hearing this conversation, Lin Shi immediately grabbed the Poké Ball of Kabutops. The Pokémon couldn't stand hearing such words, otherwise it would pluck all the feathers of this noisy bird.

"Oh, you silly bird."

But it was obvious that Ren Yuyao was not much better. She rolled up her non-existent sleeves and was ready to teach the noisy bird a lesson.

The noisy bird standing on the dead branch was so frightened that it flapped its wings in fear and several feathers fell off.

"Aunt, why don't you go swimming and bully the elves here?"

Lin Shi walked up to Ren Yuyao and joked, while also carefully observing the bird Pokémon on the tree whose head looked like a musical note. This Pokémon had a very strong language talent and could imitate the sounds of different creatures and different timbres.

"Hour? You're finally here."

When she saw Lin, Ren Yuyao's face lit up with joy and she walked over immediately.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait for me? What are you going to do?"

Lin Shi held his forehead with his hand. He felt that his aunt was going to torment him again.

"This, this...take a quick look."

Ren Yuyao held a flyer in her hand and handed it to Lin Shi, urging him to read it.

"what……"

Lin Shi took it and was shocked to see the biggest line of words on it - Trainer who rides the wind and waves.

This is a Pokémon Surf Speed ​​Challenge. Trainers at or below the elite level can participate and get generous prizes or bonuses after winning a place.

"Little boy, you should also participate. I heard that this is a very popular unofficial competition in Seacliff City. Every year, trainers from all over Shenzhou participate in the competition. I think it is suitable for you and Gyarados."

Ren Yuyao looked at Lin Shi expectantly and said.

"Oh?" Lin Shi sensed something keenly and looked at Ren Yuyao with narrowed eyes.

"Why is Auntie so active today?"

"hey-hey……"

Ren Yuyao smiled, looking a little embarrassed, then she stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at the flyer.

"Look at the prizes above. The top ten will receive precious pearls from pearl oysters, and the higher the ranking, the more they will receive. Hehe... We have to bring back some local specialties from this trip."

"I knew it……"

Lin Shi knew Ren Yuyao's aunt too well.

However, the pearls of pearl oysters are really good. Not only are they an expensive ornament, but they also contain rich psychic power. They are extremely popular items among many psychic elves.

Compared with the giant clams, which are also shellfish, the price of the pearls they produce is much lower.

Lin Shi lowered his head and continued to look at the flyer, while Ren Yuyao was tirelessly persuading Lin Shi.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, just go, just treat it as having fun. When you get a place, I can make a toy for Moeme, and you can buy a piece of jewelry for your mother..."

At this time, Lin Shi didn't know what he saw, and his expression changed slightly.

"This thing is..."

On the flyer, the first prize was a scale. Lin Shi was not unfamiliar with this thing. It was a dropped item called "Magikarp's Scale". Lin Shi had gotten one when he was picking up bargains before, and it gave Gyarados a lot of help at that time.

But that scale was only dropped by a gym leader-level Gyarados, and gradually it could not keep up with Gyarados' current needs. Now the first place in the competition is also a scale, but according to the introduction above, this scale was dropped by a king-level Gyarados.

The most important thing is that this is actually a fiery red scale, which means that the owner of this scale is a different colored shining Gyarados just like his Gyarados.

"It seems that I have to participate in this competition..."

Lin Shi said in a low voice, he had already made up his mind, and he not only wanted to compete, but also wanted to win first place!

This way, not only can I get scales, but I can also help my aunt win pearls. The most important thing is that if I win first place in such a large-scale competition, you can imagine how quickly I will gain jealousy points.

Killing three birds with one stone, Lin Shi had no reason not to accept it.

"Aunt, where can I sign up for this competition?" Lin Shi asked casually while flipping through the flyer.

Hearing Lin Shi's words, Ren Yuyao smiled and snatched the flyer from Lin Shi's hand.

"You don't need to look it up. I, your aunt, have been thoughtful and have already registered for you."

Lin Shi sighed helplessly, he just knew...

……

There are still three days before the official competition, so Lin Shi took the opportunity to familiarize himself with the competition mechanism. This competition adopts a racing mechanism without any fancy redundant additions. The first one to reach the finish line will be the final winner.

Wearing professional surfing equipment, Lin Shi and Gyarados climbed to the top of a huge wave. Not only him, but also many surfing enthusiasts came here for training as the competition was approaching. For a while, all kinds of water Pokémon were everywhere in the vast ocean.

"Did you see that, Gyarados? It's right there. Let's rush over there." Pointing at the big wave coming again not far away, Lin Shi said with great heroism.

"Ow."

Gyarados roared, the sea was its home ground, it swung its tail lightly and shot out like an arrow, facing the huge waves, it took advantage of the situation and flew with the wind.

"mound."

At this moment, Lin Shi only saw a flash of yellow lightning, rising along the waves. When Lin Shi turned over the waves and came to the surface of the sea, the first thing he did was to look around for the yellow elf.

Sure enough, not far from him, a big brown rat-like Pokémon was standing on its surfboard-like tail and riding the waves excitedly. Looking at its skilled posture, it was obvious that it was not a novice.

"Raichu? Or a regional form of Surfing Raichu?"

Lin Shi looked at this Pokémon with curiosity. Due to the cuteness of Pikachu and the rarity of Thunder Stone, there are not many Raichu in this world, let alone a Raichu with a regional form.

So, can it really surf?

Lin Shi always thought it was just a land surfer...

Although it looks like it is very skilled at surfing, it is actually relying entirely on its super powers to keep itself afloat on the sea.

"mound."

The surfing Raichu let out a rough cry and paddled away. Under the watchful eyes of the surfers around him, he paddled quickly towards the shore and soon disappeared.

Lin Shi looked around but found nothing.

"Whose Pokémon is this?"
