Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Ouch..."

"Hiss..."

"Cool..."

"Ow..."

Gyarados, Orochi, Kabutosaurus and Kuangchi appeared in the open space together, looking at the new member of the team with curiosity.

"The Skillful Blacksmith is your little sister, you two need to get along well with each other."

As he spoke, Lin Shi stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the clever blacksmith's head, but the clever blacksmith turned his head and nimbly avoided it with a look of pride on his face.

Don't hit me!

Lin Shi smiled helplessly. This Artificer Pokémon was the only female Pokémon among his Pokémons at present. She was the little sister in the team, but now it seemed that this little sister had a bit of a tsundere attribute.

Lin Shi began to miss the little blacksmith who was scared to tears when he was looked at at once.

"Skillful Blacksmith, let's go back. I can buy you some books on casting, with illustrations."

The smooth process of subduing the Skillful Blacksmith was somewhat beyond Lin Shi's expectations. Now that the goal had been achieved, he naturally had to go back as soon as possible. There was no point in going back in this freezing weather.

"Wacha wacha."

As soon as Lin Shi finished speaking, the skilled blacksmith jumped in front of Lin Shi, waved his hands to block Lin Shi, and said something to Lin Shi in a baby voice.

Although he could roughly understand the language of the elves after a period of understanding after taming them, Lin Shi had just tamed the Skillful Blacksmith and really didn't understand what it meant.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Shi slowly bent down.

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

……

After the skilled blacksmith talked and gestured for half a day, and with the help of the other elves' translation, Lin Shi roughly understood what the skilled blacksmith meant.

There seems to be a forging material in this mountain range that is very suitable for the skilled blacksmith. The skilled blacksmith has been wandering here for so long and is unwilling to leave just to find a chance to get that thing and use it to make a forging hammer.

Lin Shi touched his chin. The hammer of the skilled blacksmith is extremely important to the skilled blacksmith. It is not only its weapon, but also a part of its life. It is directly related to its strength after it evolves into a giant blacksmith. Lin Shi has to pay attention to it.

"Wacha wacha."

The skilled blacksmith jumped and waved his hands, looking at Lin Shi with watery eyes, all filled with the word "want".

"Ok."

Lin Shi thought about it and decided to agree. Now the Skillful Blacksmith was his spirit, and they would prosper and suffer together. It would be of great benefit to him if the Skillful Blacksmith became stronger.

Lin Shi looked at the skilled blacksmith with a gentle smile.

"Do you know where that thing is? Lead us to the way..."

Hearing Lin Shi's agreement, the skilled blacksmith was very happy. He immediately waved to Lin Shi and the elves, signaling them to follow.

In this way, Lin Shi followed the skilled blacksmith and walked a long way. The terrain around them became steeper and steeper. Under the white snow were brown hard rocks. Finally, they stopped in front of a cave.

The skilled blacksmith walked over quietly, stuck his head out and looked into the cave. After confirming that there was no problem, he waved to Lin Shi.

Without hesitation, Lin Shi followed the skilled blacksmith into the cave. Perhaps because the cold wind was blocked by the mountain wall, the temperature inside the cave was a little higher and not as cold as outside.

It was pitch black all around, and the circle on Circle Bear's chest glowed again, helping Lin Shi and Qiao Blacksmith to see the road ahead clearly.

"Yeah..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the light on the chest of Circle Bear turned on, it attracted the attention of the indigenous people in the cave.

A large group of Zubats were awakened by the light. They flapped their wings and fell from the top of the cave, flying towards Lin Shi with a roar. They kept howling from their mouths. The harsh sound gave Lin Shi a slight headache.

"Honey-gathering snake, dragon's wave."

The honey snake stretched out its two heads and opened its two mouths at the same time, spitting out two huge blue dragon waves one after the other. The dragon-shaped waves quickly flew towards the group of Zubats in the air, and the violent explosion sounded throughout the cave.

But this is not over yet. The Honey Snake did not slow down its offensive. Its two heads were still spewing dragon waves one after another, like a tireless anti-aircraft gun, defeating the group of Zubats in the air and making them flee in all directions.

The harsh sound faded away, and Lin Shi shook his head slowly.

Much quieter...

At the same time, the Mi Ji snake stopped attacking, curled up into a ball and rolled back to Lin Shi.

The skilled blacksmith looked at it in amazement.

This apple is so powerful. Every time it comes in, it sneaks in, afraid of being discovered. Several times it accidentally made noises and was attacked, and it had to recover from the wounds for several days...

"Hey, Skilled Blacksmith, what are you looking at? Let's keep going. Where are we going?" Seeing the dazed look of the Skilled Blacksmith, Lin Shi looked at him puzzledly and reminded him.

"Wacha?"

The skilled blacksmith seemed to wake up from a dream and continued to walk to the front of the team. The difference was that this time he held his head high and chest out, and he was no longer afraid of those stinky bats.

As he continued to go deeper into the cave, Lin Shi realized that he was entering an underground world. The roads around him did not become narrower, but wider. Unknown crystals on the cliff walls emitted light, illuminating the darkness like street lamps.

When Lin Shi looked around, he saw bright spots all around him like stars at night. It was hard to imagine that this was the scenery underground.

But the skilled blacksmith seemed to be oblivious to the beautiful scenery. After entering this underground kingdom, he became cautious again, taking each step extremely carefully, and being on guard against danger at any time.

"Bang bang..." Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds came from the vast and dark underground world.

"Wacha!"

The skilled blacksmith immediately grasped the hammer, becoming more cautious and looking carefully for the direction where the sound came from. Soon, he jumped onto a stone not far away in a few steps, and lay on the rock wall with half of his head exposed, exploring carefully.

"It's stone balls. They have the habit of bumping into each other's bodies to check their hardness."

Seeing the cautious look of the Blacksmith, Lin Shi couldn't help but say that not far away, two Pokémon that looked like black spherical stones were hitting each other's bodies again and again, and could see sparks flying out.

"Wacha wacha."

The skilled blacksmith confirmed Lin Shi's statement and jumped off the rock. His ponytail swung back and forth, and he patted his chest with his hands, looking relieved.

"Okay, keep leading the way, don't be too nervous."

Lin Shi comforted him, but then became cautious. Obviously no one had ever been to this place, and who knew if there were high-level elves here, so he had to be careful.

After listening to Lin Shi's words, the skilled blacksmith nodded and continued to lead the way, shuttling through the dim cave. Although they encountered the elves living here several times, fortunately there were no conflicts and they had a smooth journey.

In this way, the skilled blacksmith took Lin Shi and walked a long way, and came to a place covered with sand and stones. The skilled blacksmith walked into the sand first. The soft and loose sand was very comfortable to step on.

"Wait a moment, forger."

Lin Shi suddenly noticed something was wrong and quickly reminded the clever blacksmith. At this moment, the clever blacksmith also discovered something was wrong. The sand under his feet began to rise slowly, like a stone slab rising from the ground, and the loose sand began to fall to both sides.

The figure of the skilled blacksmith began to shake. The sudden change made it somewhat unsteady on its feet, and it struggled to keep its balance.
