Pokémon: From Magikarp

As the sun sets, its afterglow shines on the sea, creating layers of golden ripples.

Looking at the waves rising one after another, Lin Shi stretched lazily while sitting on a bench on the beach.

"Here, Lao Li, this is your trophy."

Lin Shi was holding a palm-sized piece of scarlet scale in his hand. It was the prize for the champion of this battle, dropped by a red Gyarados at the peak of the King level.

With a light throw, Gyarados held it in his mouth, feeling the rich water power in it, and seemed a little excited.

"Ouch."

But then Gyarados showed strange signs, and began to dance involuntarily, his eyes turned a little red, and his body began to emit golden light involuntarily.

"what happened?"

Lin Shi's heart tightened. Could it be that he got sick from eating too much?

Fortunately, Gyarados quickly controlled its strength, and its eyes became clear again. It exhaled heavily, and Lin Shi noticed that sparks were actually being spewed out.

"Is this, the anger intensified?"

Lin Shi touched his chin. The look of Gyarados just now was exactly the same as when it used the power of anger to strengthen itself before. No... this time it looked even more violent, as if it was stimulated by external force.

Is it because of this dragon scale?

He thought silently. This possibility was not impossible. In his memory, in a game he had played before, there was also a red Gyarados living in a specific place. If he remembered correctly, the name of the Gyarados's habitat was Lake of Anger.

Does this mean that Pokémon like Red Gyarados are naturally inseparable from the power of emotions and are good at using emotions to transform into strength? Then the owner of this piece of scale may also have some accomplishments in this area.

For this reason, Gyarados, who has also embarked on this path, can use this scale to absorb the power of anger, thereby stimulating his own abilities and achieving further emotional control.

"Um……"

Lin Shi took a deep breath. Everything that happened just now was just his speculation and could not be taken seriously.

But now we can actually see that this piece of dragon scale does have a favorable factor in Gyarados's emotional control. If we can find more dragon scales for research, maybe it will help Gyarados to reach a higher level.

As for this matter, Lin Shi looked up at the sky. He was not without a clue...

"rustle……"

When the footsteps passed through the sand, the sand fell to the ground, making a rustling sound. Lin Shi turned his head and saw Chen Xingmeng walking slowly towards him with a smile.

The injury on her foot caused her to limp slightly, but it didn't seem to affect her normal movements.

"Hi Lin Shi."

Chen Xingmeng walked over, sat down naturally and greeted Lin Shi.

"Ah~" Lin Shi yawned, rubbed his eyes and said.

"Ms. Chen, tell me, what's the matter with you asking me to come here? I'm tired after a day's work and haven't had a good rest yet. I'm so sleepy."

"Hey, don't worry, of course it's a good thing."

"I'm here to invite you to join my treasure hunting team."

Chen Xingmeng said with sparkling eyes.

"Treasure hunting team? What treasure hunting team?" Lin Shi was a little confused. He really didn't expect that Chen Xingmeng was looking for him for this kind of thing.

"Um……"

Chen Xingmeng looked at Lin Shi and sang a long tune.

"This is a secret of mine. If you don't join, I can't tell you."

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows, curled his lips slightly and said:

"But if you don't tell me, how can I be sure whether I will join? Why don't you reveal a little bit, at least let me have a general idea."

Chen Xingmeng pondered for a moment and felt that what Lin Shi said made some sense. And perhaps because Lin Shi had saved her life, she was not very wary of Lin Shi.

"Okay, then just a little bit."

Chen Xingmeng approached Lin Shi and whispered:

"Actually, I recently discovered the location of a shipwreck on the seabed, and it seems that there are a lot of treasures hidden on it, so I hope to find someone to explore it together."

"Shipwreck?"

Lin Shi was a little confused. How could Chen Xingmeng know that there were treasures on a sunken ship just by looking at it?

As if seeing through Lin Shi's thoughts, Chen Xingmeng smiled complacently and continued:

"In fact, I have explored it before. It is not an ordinary sunken ship. If I am not mistaken, it should come from a mysterious world, and the things on it must be treasures from that world."

Chen Xingmeng spoke in a low voice, but his words were full of confidence.

Chen Xingmeng's words made Lin Shi's heart tremble. If what Chen Xingmeng said was true, then this would be a serious matter.

Although because the current world and the secret world are constantly merging with each other, there are indeed many things originally from the secret world that have flowed into the real world.

But such examples are still very rare, and obvious man-made creations like this are even rarer, and their significance is huge.

"Why don't you explore this kind of thing yourself?"

Not dazzled by the possible treasure, Lin Shi immediately asked. He didn't think Chen Xingmeng was a great philanthropist who would give him such a great benefit for no reason.

"Hey, you're my savior. Of course you're the first person I think of when something good like this happens."

"Of course there is another reason. I think your Gyarados seems to be very powerful. When I was exploring the sunken ship last time, I found that there seemed to be a powerful Pokémon at the bottom of the ship. I am not sure I can deal with it alone."

"Of course, don't worry, that Pokémon has only just reached the gym leader level. With our strength and a little more caution, we should be able to deal with it."

Chen Xingmeng naturally knew that her invitation sounded a bit problematic, so she quickly explained.

After listening to what Chen Xingmeng said, Lin Shi not only did not resolve his doubts, but felt even more puzzled.

"As a daughter of the Chen family, it won't be easy for you to find someone to help you solve the problem. When the time comes, as long as you raise your arms and call for help, I think they will be able to pack up the entire sunken ship and bring it back to you."

Lin Shi said jokingly.

"Tsk, then what's the point?" Chen Xingmeng curled her lips, disagreeing with Lin Shi's statement. She had worked so hard to discover such a shipwreck, if she couldn't explore it herself, what was the point?

"Of course I have my reasons for not looking for someone else. Anyway, I've already told you so much. Just tell me whether you agree or not."

Lin Shi touched his chin in silence and said calmly:

"Then how are we going to divide the food when we find it? You're not going to eat the meat and drink the soup, are you?"

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Chen Xingmeng stretched out a finger:

"Once, just this once. Whatever you can bring up will be yours. We will each get what we can from treasure hunting based on our own abilities. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to help me get rid of that Pokémon."

Lin Shi smacked his lips. This condition sounded pretty good.

"There is one more thing. You can give me anything else, but if you find this one thing, you must give it to me. Don't worry, it's not something important, and you probably won't need it."

Chen Xingmeng continued to add.

"What is it?" Lin Shi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
