Pokémon: From Magikarp

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Lin Shi’s face. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and Lin Shi woke up.

Lin Shi stood up and stretched, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and sighing that the weather was good today.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Shi pushed open the door of the room. Before he could do anything, he saw Zhou Wanjin walking in the corridor with an anxious look on his face, and his direction was exactly Lin Shi's room.

The moment he looked at Lin Shi, Fatty Zhou seemed to have seen a savior. He ran towards him quickly, his flesh trembling.

"What's going on Fatty, why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning?"

Lin Shi asked with a frown.

"Shi...Brother Shi, Tingting is missing. I...I can't find her anywhere. Have you seen her?"

Zhou Wanjin bent over, breathing heavily, and finally made his words clear, his tone full of anxiety.

"Gone?" Lin Shi was slightly stunned and immediately asked.

"How come? Have you contacted her by phone?"

Zhou Wanjin nodded vigorously and said quickly:

"I called, but no one answered. She didn't send me any messages. She was fine last night, but when I opened my eyes this morning, she was gone. I have no idea where she went."

Zhou Wanjin was so anxious that he kept pacing back and forth.

"Brother Shi, do you think something will happen?"

Seeing Zhou Wanjin's anxious look, Lin Shi comforted him:

"Don't be anxious. It's impossible for a living person to be lost just like that. Go ask Qi Meng, Meng Ge and the others first. Maybe they are together."

As he spoke, Lin Shi took a few quick steps and knocked on the door of the next room.

Soon, the door was opened, and Su Qimeng's face, as beautiful as a lotus in clear water, appeared in front of Lin Shi, with a look of confusion on her face.

"What's wrong? Isn't it time to gather yet?"

Also in the room, Meng Ge came over. It seemed that they had been up for a while and were putting on makeup.

"Lin Shi, what's going on?" Meng Ge also asked.

"Have you seen Huang Tingting?" Lin Shi went straight to the point and immediately asked the two people.

"Tingting?" Su Qimeng and Meng Ge looked at each other. They could see the confusion in each other's eyes. Finally, they shook their heads at the same time.

"No, we haven't been out since this morning."

"Bang." Another door was opened opposite Su Qimeng's room.

Meng Wan rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out.

"Why are there so many people here? Can't you guys sleep a little longer so early in the morning?"

"Meng Wan, do you know where Tingting went?"

This time it was Zhou Wanjin who spoke, not Lin Shi. He frowned tightly and asked quickly, with the anxiety in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Tingting? No? I haven't seen her since we broke up last night." Meng Wan was stunned for a moment and then answered immediately. Then she turned her head and shouted loudly towards the door.

"Taoyao, have you seen Tingting?"

The room was quiet and no sound was heard.

"Taoyao, Taoyao?"

Meng Wan immediately shouted a few times, then opened the door and walked into the room. Only then did she realize that their room was empty, with no trace of Li Taoyao at all.

"Li Taoyao is missing too?" Lin Shi also followed in, and sure enough, the place was empty. Then he turned his head to Meng Wan.

Meng Wan was also stunned in the same place. Suddenly, she patted her head, as if she remembered something, and immediately said:

"I remember now. Taoyao seemed to have said that she would get up early for a morning run today. Maybe she went out for a run."

"Morning run?"

"Yes." Meng Wan nodded.

"Taoyao said that the air is best in the morning, and the scenery here is so beautiful, she wants to see more."

Hearing Meng Wan's words, Lin Shi took out his cell phone, checked the time, and frowned.

"Even if it's a morning run, you should be back by this time."

Then he found Li Taoyao’s phone number and dialed it.

"Beep...beep..."

A voice came from the other end of the phone, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Shi at the same time.

“Beep…pop.”

Lin Shi frowned and looked at his phone, whispering:

"Didn't you hear that?"

"Huh..." Lin Shi exhaled slowly and looked at everyone.

"I'd better go out and look for them. You guys should wash up and meet downstairs. I'll contact you by phone if you have anything."

Having said that, without giving anyone time to react, Lin Shi quickly walked downstairs.

"Brother Shi, I'm going too."

Zhou Wanjin hurriedly caught up with Lin Shi, and the two of them went downstairs together. The cool morning breeze blew their hair. In order to maximize efficiency, the two of them split up and walked in two directions.

The remaining women looked at each other, and finally Su Qimeng said:

"Let's pack up as well, and then go downstairs to help look for it..."

……

Luozi Mountain in the early morning is not as hot as in the afternoon. The cool breeze blows through the woods on the mountain, like a comb constantly combing the soft hair.

In this lush green forest, two girls were walking one after the other. Li Taoyao, who was wearing sportswear, suddenly stopped when she saw the girl in front of her.

"Tingting, where are you taking me?"

"Ah? It's... not far ahead, very... very soon..."

Huang Tingting spoke slower and slower, lowered her head, and her voice became softer and softer, so soft that Li Taoyao couldn't even hear the last word.

"The wild conservation area is ahead. No matter how much trouble Meng Wan and the others make, they can't possibly go to that place."

Li Taoyao looked at Huang Tingting and spoke word by word. She wanted to see Huang Tingting's face clearly, but her face was buried under her long hair and Li Taoyao could not see it at all.

"you are lying?"

Li Taoyao's words made Huang Tingting tremble all over. When she raised her head again, Li Taoyao saw tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Taoyao, I'm sorry...but I really have no choice..."

Huang Tingting's appearance startled Li Taoyao. She immediately took a step back and looked at this "good friend" in disbelief.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"I..." Huang Tingting wanted to speak, but her tears couldn't stop flowing. But gradually she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I...No, I can't hurt you. There's still time."

"Taoyao, hurry up, it's still not too late to leave now."

Huang Tingting shouted, leaving Li Taoyao confused, but she still subconsciously ran back, then took out the Poké Ball to call out the Tanabata Bluebird.

"Bang, ouch."

Suddenly, Li Taoyao felt a pain on her head, as if she had hit something. She covered her head and looked forward. She reached out and found an invisible transparent wall blocking her way.

“Is this a wall of light?”

Li Taoyao immediately recognized the skill, then she looked up and saw such walls of light appearing in all directions in front of her, including above her head. These walls of light were extremely huge, and they worked together to form a huge transparent cage that enveloped Li Taoyao.

"Qixi Bluebird, Dragon's Wave, Nine-Tailed Fox, Blizzard..." Li Taoyao immediately summoned the elves to attack the wall.

"Boom bang..."

The attack encountered the barrier and exploded. When the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, the exposed wall was completely intact.

"Don't waste your energy, Miss Li Taoyao. With your strength, it is impossible to break my barrier."

At the same time, a figure slowly emerged from the woods. He was seen standing in the air with his hands behind his back, slowly floating towards Li Taoyao.

Li Taoyao looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes suddenly widened.
