Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Shieldblade, Shadow Ball."

At the critical moment, a shadowy sword energy descended from the sky. The powerful sword energy carried a mist-like tail and instantly split the sandstorm tornado into two halves. The originally powerful storm died down in an instant, and fine sand particles floated in the sky.

"Got...saved?"

The bespectacled man in the lead looked at the scene in disbelief, his eyes filled with joy of surviving a disaster.

In the wind and sand, a figure gradually became clearer from blurry. Lin Shi was holding a red sword, with a golden shield flying beside him. He squinted his eyes and looked at the few people carefully.

Judging from their clothes, these people should belong to the same company, and their jobs should be more like research or clerical work. After all, there are so many of them but only a few elite elves, and they are being chased so badly by a hippopotamus that is less than level 60.

"Are you from the Pet Elf Company?"

Lin Shi looked around and asked after seeing the logos on their clothes.

Aipet Elf Company is an elf-related company that is well-known throughout the country and even in the world. They have long cooperated with the official and operate almost all industries related to elves.

Including but not limited to, elf breeding and trading, elf item production and sales, trading of elf skill machines, etc. It is a well-deserved giant industry in China with huge energy.

Lin Shi is also a regular customer of their company. Ever since he got a VIP card from the Baishan City Elf Trading Building after helping the Pet Elf Breeding House, he has ordered most of his training materials from them, which has saved him a lot of money.

It was for this reason that Lin Shi offered his help. It could be considered as another way to establish a good relationship. Moreover, the Shield Blade Monster had just evolved, and he also wanted to find an opponent to see its strength.

"No... That's right, we are the planning department of AiChong Company. Our company has obtained the right to operate a small portion of the Qinhuang Secret Realm resources, so they specially asked us to come here to plan the future development of this area."

"But just when all the work was completed and we were about to return to the city, we were suddenly targeted by this hippopotamus beast that appeared out of nowhere and had been chasing us for a long time."

The man with glasses looked at Lin Shi, who looked like a god descending from heaven. After a brief moment of shock, he came to his senses and spoke quickly and fluently that he knew that as long as he could hold on to the other party's thigh, there would be no problem in leaving here safely.

Lin Shi twisted his neck and looked at several people.

"Well, in that case, you guys follow me."

"what."

As soon as Lin Shi finished speaking, the hippopotamus roared again, showing its presence. Then it opened its mouth wide, and the shadows of sharp fangs filled with malicious intent gathered in front of it. It rushed towards Lin Shi like a uniquely shaped chariot.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shi was not panicked at all. He loosened his hand, and the red sword hung in the air. Then he calmly commanded:

"Strong Shield Sword Monster, King's Shield!"

"bass."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword immediately returned to its sheath. Facing the ferocious hippopotamus, a layer of shield emitting a white metallic luster rose up on the body of the Shield Sword Monster.

At the moment of collision, Hippomon felt as if he had hit an indestructible wall of steel, and the huge rebound force instantly knocked him away.

But this is not the end. Immediately afterwards, the powerful steel force began to rush madly into Hippomon's body through the contact point of the two Pokémon. This manic force actually suppressed Hippomon's originally fierce attack power in an instant.

The King's Shield skill is the exclusive skill of the Shield Blade Monster. It not only helps the Shield Blade Monster switch modes, but its own skill effect is also extremely extraordinary.

It can defend against the opponent's attacks while reducing the attacks of the opponents it comes into contact with. With its super high double defense, the more it hits the enemy, the softer it becomes, putting the rhythm completely in its own hands.

"what."

Seeing that the one move was ineffective, the hippopotamus became more ferocious, and the sand beneath it began to spin like a whirlpool on the sea. Then the spinning quicksand whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, spreading outward. A huge sand whirlpool rose from the ground and flew towards the shield sword monster.

"A combination of Quicksand Abyss and Sandstorm?"

Lin Shi saw through Hippomon's skills at a glance and smiled faintly. As a gym owner-level Pokémon, the other party had rich combat experience. After discovering that he had problems, he keenly chose non-contact skills to fight.

"Okay then, Shield Sword Monster, let's take it head-on and use Sword Dance!" Lin Shi commanded loudly.

"Buzz..."

The Shield Sword Monster's sword rang, and facing the sky full of sand tornadoes, its golden pupils emitted a faint light, and it began to spin and dance in the air. The sand hit the shield, making a rattling sound, but ultimately it could not cause any damage to the Shield Sword Monster.

Its strong defensive capabilities give it the confidence to withstand skills head-on, even when facing skills that cause extreme damage to it.

At the same time, after the sword dance, the shield sword monster's body was sharp and fierce, and it made people's eyes sting just by hanging in the air.

"Aww."

The hippopotamus let out a rough howl, stretched out its stubby front legs and slammed the ground hard. The sand suddenly began to tremble, and then a sand blade rose from the ground and flew towards the shield sword monster with a strong ground force.

"Shield Sword Monster, let's attack with all our strength and use Shadow Claws."

Lin Shi clenched his fist and waved it, shouting with confidence.

"bass."

Following Lin Shi's command, the Shield Sword Monster quickly drew its sword from its sheath and switched to sword mode. Its fierce momentum surged, and the rich ghostly power condensed on the sword. The black sword light attached to the sword, stretching the sword by dozens of meters.

"Om..."

The black sword light fell, making a series of sounds of breaking through the air. The surging sand blade was chopped apart by the Shadow Claw like a dead tree or rotten wood, and then continued to stab towards the hippopotamus beast with undiminished momentum.

With a bang, Hippomon was knocked away by the powerful sword light. The ghost power continued to erode its body, making Hippomon show a painful expression.

When it fell into the sea of ​​sand again, Hippomon did not hesitate. It used its digging skills to quickly dive into the sand and disappeared without a trace in just a few seconds.

Watching Hippomon escape, Lin Shi did not choose to chase it. This was its home ground. If a gym owner-level Hippomon wanted to escape, it would be too difficult to find it without any preparation.

"Come back, Shieldsword."

After finishing the work, Lin Shi called back the Shield Sword Monster and then looked at the people who loved pet elves.

"Hello, I'm the leader of this planning team. My name is Yan Ping. I'm very grateful for your help."

Yan Ping, the man with glasses, ran to Lin Shi to express his gratitude after seeing the battle was over.

"Lin Shi."

Lin Shi stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, then briefly introduced himself.

"What? Lin Shi? You are Lin Shi?"

Yan Ping's voice suddenly became sharp, and his tone was full of astonishment, as if he had seen some extraordinary person.

Lin Shi:?
