Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Welcome all the tourists, guests, folks, ladies and gentlemen, to our beautiful Seacliff City... Today, the annual Seacliff City Wind and Waves Trainer Speed ​​Race is about to begin."

On a high platform by the sea, a host in a suit and tie was speaking excitedly into the microphone.

"First, let us invite our three special guests."

Lin Shi raised his head and looked curiously, and suddenly saw an octopus barrel, a chatterbox and a surfing Raichu walking up the stairs next to them to the platform.

As they walked, they greeted the onlookers around them. Cheers were heard all around, and it was obvious that the three of them were quite popular.

Lin Shi narrowed his eyes slightly. This is the special guest...

After a few days of vacation, Lin Shi had heard a little about these three guys. They were all wild Pokémon living on the beach in Haiya City.

However, because of their special skills, they have gained explosive popularity on the Internet, becoming three Internet celebrity Pokémon, and also promoting the tourism industry in Seacliff City to a certain extent.

So even though they are wild Pokémon, they are fed by the government and become the official cultural and tourism ambassadors of Haiya City. They are protected by the government and it is strictly forbidden to capture them.

After all, if you break someone's fortune tree, they will break you too, physically of course...

"Please invite the three guests to take their seats. Now, please allow me to announce the specific rules of the competition to all the contestants."

"In today's sprint race, all contestants are required to follow the prescribed route and the ranking will be determined based on the order in which they reach the finish line. Please note that during the sprint race, it is not allowed to actively attack other contestants. Once discovered, they will be eliminated immediately."

"Please hurry up and get ready, the competition is about to begin..."

The contestants all nodded. It was obvious that most of them had done their homework in advance and knew the basic rules by heart.

Lin Shi stretched his body and warmed up according to the rhythm. He was determined to win this game.

"Be alert, don't lose face, and show your spirit."

Among the onlookers, Lin's father was standing in the front waving flags and cheering for Lin Shi. Guai Li got the cheering sticks from somewhere and waved his four hands vigorously.

Next to them, Lin's mother and Ren Yuyao were also holding cameras and waving at Lin Shi, obviously intending to take some handsome photos of him.

"Hey Lin Shi, we meet again."

At this moment, a clear and energetic voice came from beside Lin Shi. Lin Shi turned around and saw Chen Xingmeng greeting him with a sunny smile.

"Chen Xingmeng? You are going to participate in the competition too? Has your foot healed?" Lin Shi was a little surprised to see the girl.

Chen Xingmeng lowered her head and moved her ankles slightly, then raised her head towards Lin Shi with a smile.

"Look, it's almost healed. Besides, it's just a surfing competition, not a race. It's fine."

Hearing Chen Xingmeng's words, Lin Shi sighed. From her words, he could tell that she must have run away without her brother's permission again.

"Then you'd better be careful and don't get caught by your brother, otherwise you will definitely suffer the consequences."

Looking at Chen Xingmeng helplessly, Lin Shi reminded.

"Humph, I'm not afraid of him." Chen Xingmeng stuck out her tongue.

"I'm going to get bored staying in the house all day. Besides, I'm the favorite to win. I've participated every year before. How can we do without me?"

As he spoke, Chen Xingmeng clenched his fists, as if to cheer himself up.

"Favourite to win?" Lin Shi touched his chin.

"Is there anyone else besides you?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Xingmeng nodded repeatedly, then she stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed to the side of Lin Shi.

"Did you see that uncle wearing a straw hat? He was the champion of the previous session. He has an extremely fast scorpionfish. It was also thanks to this elf that he was able to defeat me with a slight advantage in the end..."

Lin Shi automatically ignored the second half of her sentence and looked at the kind face of the straw hat man, who turned out to be a master.

The sun is shining and the timing is perfect.

"Time is up, contestants please take your seats."

After hearing the host's instructions, all the contestants, including Lin Shi, jumped onto their Pokémon and used the equipment to restrain themselves.

"Your Pokémon is quite interesting."

Seeing Chen Xingmeng also riding up, Lin Shi looked at her Pokémon curiously. Unexpectedly, Chen Xingmeng was not riding the Pompom Dolphin. Under her was a green and white fish Pokémon. Its tail was like floating clouds, looking mysterious and ethereal.

Lin Shi naturally recognized it. It was a dark-tailed black fish, and from its appearance one could tell it was a female. It was good at special attacks, had a huge body, and fair skin. One could tell at a glance that it was well bred.

"Hehe, this is my secret weapon, just prepare to lose." Chen Xingmeng was as confident as ever.

“Hum…Hum.”

At this time, the voice of Surfing Raichu came out through the microphone in front of it, and then it jumped onto the table, stretched its legs facing the sea, looking very motivated.

The main guest is warming up!

After seeing this scene, the host turned pale with fright.

"Quick, stop it."

As soon as the words fell, a Swampert staff member climbed up and hugged Surfing Raichu. Surfing Raichu was suddenly restrained, and lightning surged from its body. The intense electric current rushed towards Swampert, but fortunately Swampert was a ground-type and immune to electric current.

“Hum…Hum…”

Surfing Raichu was still releasing electric shocks relentlessly, but Swampert was holding on to it tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing the slightly funny scene, Lin Shi scratched his head and looked at Chen Xingmeng beside him.

"What's going on?"

Chen Xingmeng also crossed her arms, watching with great interest, and smiled when she heard Lin Shi's question.

"Oh, you're talking about this. You should have heard of that Raichu. It loves surfing and is also an expert surfer."

"However, because it used electric shocks to knock down a large number of contestants in surfing competitions a few years ago, the consequences were very serious, so it has been banned and is still in the ban period."

"Forehead……"

Lin Shi glanced at the three heroes of Haiya on the platform again, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, they were all abnormal.

"Ahem... then, contestants, get ready."

The host tightened his throat, glanced at the surfing Raichu who was about to lose control, and spoke faster.

"On your marks... get set... go!"

At the host's command, all the contestants shot out like arrows from a bow, and the surrounding onlookers burst into thunderous cheers.

"Gyarados should speed up first to whet your appetite."

Patting Gyarados on the back, Lin Shi gave the command. Gyarados nodded, and its huge body cut through the water and quickly came to the top few positions, leaving the other players behind.
