Pokémon: From Magikarp

Facing Kentaro's attack, Lin Shi knew that he was doomed to fail. He was about to seize the opportunity to dodge but suddenly froze, frowned, and looked a little confused.

"what happened?"

Kentaro, who had been so brave just now, seemed to be trapped in a swamp. A pool of thick darkness appeared under him. Tentacle-like ghost energy bound him tightly, making him unable to move.

"Is this... Neftina's skill?"

Lin Shi suddenly understood, and he immediately looked down. Sure enough, his shadow was stretched very long, all the way to under Kentaro's body, and it appeared a breathtaking black color like a black hole.

It was at this moment that a purple crystal appeared from his shadow and slowly flew in front of him.

"The Purple Fire Crystal was also brought here."

Lin Shi was a little surprised, but it was obvious that Neftina had a close relationship with this place. But he never expected that it could protect Lin Shi in this way. This Queen was really reliable.

"What's going on? Why isn't Kentaro moving?"

"It seems to be entangled by something. Was it that boy who did it?"

"Oh my god, does he have this kind of power..."

The audience was obviously shocked by this scene and shouted in disbelief.

"Look, what is that amethyst?"

Someone else shouted, and in an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Shi. The sparkling purple crystal also burst out with dazzling light, and purple waves rushed straight into the sky.

"It's the power of Her Majesty Queen Neftina. He is recognized by the Queen. He is a hero!"

"I know that kind of crystal. Only people of high status recognized by the Queen are worthy of it. Oh my God, a hero has appeared!"

"Great, a brave man has appeared, we are saved..."

"Praise the Queen, praise the brave..."

"Brave, brave, brave..."

After a commotion, the whole audience became excited and began to shout loudly in unison.

Lin Shi held the Purple Fire Crystal in his hand and looked up. People from all directions in the stands were raising their arms and cheering. They were excited, yet full of anticipation.

Lin Shi couldn't help but look at the crystal in his hand again, and suddenly remembered what Neftina had said to him.

"The red carpet paves the street, and the elves lead the way..."

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Well, in a weird way it worked out.

"Mr. Brave, you have worked hard. Please come with us."

Then, the guards who had been maintaining order came to Lin Shi, bowed slightly, and spoke to him with admiration and respect.

Lin Shi pinched his forehead. The situation changed so quickly that his thoughts were a little confused, but it seemed that his goal had been achieved by accident. Did he become a hero?

"call……"

Lin Shi let out a sigh of relief. In that case, he might as well take advantage of the situation and go with them to see the situation first.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Shi followed two guards and left the arena. At this moment, this magnificent city appeared completely in his eyes. The pointed-roof houses built with yellow stones, although in different styles, were lined up in an orderly manner.

But compared with the imposing building, the people passing by were dressed simply, covered in dust and dirt, and each of them looked listless, which made Lin Shi keenly aware of the problem.

Finally, under the guidance of the two, Lin Shi gradually approached the building complex in the center. The buildings here were taller and more exquisite. Lin Shi guessed that this should be the location of the royal palace, where the famous Queen Nefertina lived.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi was still a little excited. He wondered what this powerful desert queen looked like.

"Master Brave, please rest here for a while. We need to consult Her Majesty the Queen first."

The two guards said respectfully, then left the room and walked away slowly. Lin Shi looked around the room. It was no different in style from the outside, except that it was more exquisite. On the table in the middle of the room was a large glass of water and a few unfamiliar fruits.

After fighting for a while, Lin Shi was already thirsty, so he picked up the cup and started drinking. However, as soon as his tongue touched the water, he quickly retracted his tongue as if it had been scalded.

"Pooh……"

Lin Shi stuck out his tongue. The water was bitter and astringent and hard to drink. Looking at the glass of water and thinking about the behavior of the people on the roadside and in the arena just now, Lin Shi guessed that there must be something wrong with the water source of this city, or rather, this country.

"Boom bang..."

There was a knock on the door and a gentle female voice sounded.

"Hello, brave man. I am the secretary of Her Majesty the Queen. I have something to discuss with you. May I come in?"

"Of course, please come in."

Putting down the cup, Lin Shi immediately said.

The door slowly opened, and two people walked in. The one in front was a lady who looked to be in her thirties or forties. She looked mature and steady. She should be the secretary of Queen Nefertina who knocked on the door.

The other one surprised Lin Shi. He recognized the overly mature face at a glance. Wasn't this the Wadiye who was standing behind him just now? My goodness, this guy has a hidden identity?

The difference is that this moment he changed his clothes, or to be more precise, he put on a set of armor, and the whole person became more imposing.

"Hello, brave man. My name is Shivali, and I am the secretary of Her Majesty the Queen. I am sorry that Her Majesty the Queen is ill and cannot meet you in person. She asked me to apologize to you."

Shivali lowered her head slightly, placed her right hand on her left shoulder, and bent over to salute Lin Shi.

Feeling sick?

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows, but immediately said:

"You are so kind. Her Majesty's health is the top priority. I hope she recovers soon."

Shivali bowed again, her red lips slightly parted.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"The man next to me is the commander of the Queen's guards, General Wadiye, and I will discuss the Hero Project with you."

Then, Wadiye turned his attention to Wadiye and introduced him to Lin Shi.

Lin Shi glanced sideways, he didn't expect that this guy, who was not that old, had already become a general.

"Haha, see you again, little brother. Fate is so fickle. I didn't expect that the legendary hero would be right next to me. It's such an honor."

Wadiye said with a heroic smile.

"Great Vadiya...ah, General, you must be joking. You are the one who cannot be judged by appearance. You hide your true colors so well."

Lin Shi responded.

Shivali glanced sideways, not expecting that the two people knew each other.

After complimenting each other, Lin Shi looked at Shivali and Wadiye with a serious look.

"Now, can you two please tell me what this so-called Brave Plan is?"
