Pokémon: From Magikarp

During the May Day holiday, the park was bustling with people, and an endless stream of tourists were walking around with their elves.

"Lin Shi, come on, I'm rooting for you."

In the Luozi Mountain Elf Arena Tournament, Lin Shi leaned on the guardrail, acting as the champion with a helpless look on his face, while Meng Wan and her group were shouting and cheering for him from below.

"Why am I here?"

Lin Shi talked to himself.

"Oh yeah, for the damn prize."

The Luozishan Elf Arena Competition is an entertainment activity specially promoted by Luozishan Nature Park during the May Day holiday. There is a champion on each of the several arenas.

Visitors can challenge the champion at will, and will automatically become the champion after a successful challenge. During this period, he also needs to accept challenges from others.

At the end of the event, the person who is still on the stage as the champion will win the event, and the winner can receive generous prizes from the official.

After dinner, Lin Shi and his group were taking a walk outside. When they came across the ring match which was about to end, Lin Shi originally just wanted to join in the fun, but under Meng Wan's instigation, he went onto the ring in a daze and has been standing there until now.

"Cha wow."

The skilled blacksmith carried his hammer and stood proudly in the middle of the ring. The series of victories just now made him very proud.

"Is there anyone who wants to challenge? If no one challenges us, we will win. Give us the prize quickly."

Meng Wan stood up and jumped around asking questions. Looking at her, Lin Shi couldn't help but admire her. This girl always had so much energy.

"I come."

A gentle-looking boy wearing glasses walked onto the stage and spoke to Lin Shi.

"Come out, Donjia."

Then, a Pokémon covered with grayish-white solid skin and with a pair of long, pointed, elephant-like hair appeared on the battle stage.

Lin Shi took a quick look and saw that a level 32 Dunjia would not cause any trouble to the skilled blacksmith.

"Come on, skilled blacksmith. Show them the power of your hammer."

Lin Shi waved his hand to encourage the skilled blacksmith.

"Chawa." The skilled blacksmith called out crisply, raised the silver-shining hammer and erected it at his feet, which was slightly taller than the skilled blacksmith.

"Go, Donjia, use 100,000 horsepower!"

As soon as the battle started, the man with glasses loudly ordered Donjia to use the ground-based skills that were extremely effective against the skilled blacksmith.

"Ow."

Dunjia roared loudly, digging his front hooves backwards continuously, and his body was filled with strong ground-based power. His body was covered with scales, like a huge tire, and he charged towards the skilled blacksmith with great momentum.

Looking at the aggressive Dunjia, Lin Shi was not panicked at all. He showed a faint smile on his face and commanded:

"Skillful Blacksmith, use the Ice Hammer."

"Cha wow."

As soon as Lin Shi finished speaking, the Skillful Blacksmith roared, and blue-white ice power began to quickly condense on his body. Under the influence of the powerful ice power, the temperature on the ring dropped slightly.

Then the hammer in the blacksmith's hand also emitted a blue-white light, and frost began to spread on the hammer. Soon the entire hammer became huge and was completely wrapped in cold ice, turning into a huge ice hammer.

Facing Donjia who was rolling and charging towards him, the skilled blacksmith grasped the frost-covered hammer handle with both hands, used all his strength to spin the hammer, and hit Donjia's body like playing golf.

With a "bang", the ice hammer and the armor collided with each other, and a violent explosion was heard. Sharp ice spikes grew out from the ground and bloomed, like a blooming ice lotus.

"Ouch."

Dunjia suffered great trauma in an instant. The cold force continued to invade his body. The attack of the reptiles made him extremely painful. He kept retreating and soon fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight.

"what?"

The man with glasses shouted in disbelief. How could a skilled blacksmith take away his physical defense with just one move? Moreover, his armor was very strong. This was too incredible. It seemed like this skilled blacksmith was cheating.

"Not bad, skilled blacksmith, very capable."

Lin Shi praised, and the skilled blacksmith proudly raised his neck, with the pink ponytail behind his head swinging back and forth.

The reason why the skilled blacksmith could possess such a powerful ice power was naturally because of the effect of the piece of ice gold he gave him. Lin Shi did not expect that such a small piece of metal could produce such a great effect in the hands of the skilled blacksmith.

After the skilled blacksmith had used all his strength to finally forge a little ice gold into the hammer, Lin Shi discovered that the power of the skilled blacksmith's ice hammer skill had been greatly enhanced.

But it makes sense, the strength of a skilled blacksmith depends entirely on his hammer. To him, the hammer is not just a tool, but also a part of his life. This is why every skilled blacksmith will work diligently and carefully polish the hammer.

The quality of a hammer directly affects their strength after evolving into giant blacksmiths, so the skilled blacksmiths will search for the necessary metal materials in the wild at all costs to create a hammer that suits them best.

Lin Shi remembered that when he first met the Skillful Blacksmith, it was ambushing a blue raven in order to obtain its hard feathers for forging a hammer.

Thinking of this, Lin looked at the skilled blacksmith wielding the hammer on the ring and smiled confidently. He was looking forward to seeing how powerful the force would be after his skilled blacksmith forged all the rare metals and materials into the hammer.

When it evolves into a giant forger, can it really decide the outcome with one blow, and make all the demons and monsters disappear into ashes with one blow...

"Lin Shi, the skilled blacksmith is so amazing. We are one step closer to victory..." Meng Wan shouted loudly to cheer for Lin Shi.

"Is there any other tourist who wants to challenge? We don't have much time." The staff holding the microphone looked at the time and actively invited pedestrians to come on stage for a fight.

But Lin Shi is really powerful. In many of the battles just now, his clever blacksmith almost always made the final decision. Instead of challenging him, it would be better to go to other arenas to see if there are any loopholes to be found.

"no yet?"

The staff shook their heads and looked at the crowd around them, only to find that no one came forward to fight.

"Well, then I declare..."

"Wait a minute, let me try."

Just then, a low voice was heard, and a man in a black windbreaker walked out of the crowd. He looked a few years older than Lin Shi, probably a junior or senior student.

“Haha… seeing so many people, I feel itchy and want to spar with this little brother.”

The man in the windbreaker smiled brightly and waved at Lin Shi.

"Great! Welcome to this friend's participation. The final match of our No. 3 ring is about to begin. I wonder who will win the grand prize?"

Seeing someone joining the battle, the staff happily spoke to the people around them, pushing the atmosphere to another climax.

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows. Since they had already come this far, it would be a shame to give up now. Naturally, there was no reason for him to refuse.

He looked at the other person with a smile.

"Please enlighten me."
