Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Huhuhu..."

Lin Shi's breathing became a little rapid, and the altitude sickness came as expected, making him still a little uncomfortable.

It was late July, and Lin Shi left Qinhuang City and headed for the Kunlun Mountains as required by the school.

Kunlun Mountain, a very famous mountain range in the Shenzhou region, is known as the first sacred mountain in Shenzhou. There are countless myths about it since ancient times. It has a huge span, stretching for thousands of kilometers, and is extremely rich in natural resources.

The unique environment and undisturbed natural conditions make it home to many rare elves, and its remote and rugged geographical location also makes it a natural shelter for poachers.

Poaching continued despite repeated bans for decades until the establishment of the Kunlun Mountain Nature Reserve about 20 to 30 years ago. The alliance attached great importance to the situation here and sent troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress the poachers, which brought a devastating disaster to the poachers.

With the joint efforts of forest rangers in many protected areas, the remaining sporadic poachers have become less likely to commit crimes.

"cough……"

Lin Shi loosened the button around his neck. He always felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Altitude sickness is the biggest enemy of many travel enthusiasts. Generally speaking, young people or those who are more physically fit will have more severe altitude sickness when they first arrive at high altitude areas. This is because they have a greater demand for oxygen.

But in fact, Lin Shi felt much better than he expected. After all, considering the physical fitness of the people in this world, their oxygen demand should be greater.

But obviously, the natural conditions in this world are also different. Even in such high altitude areas, the oxygen content is not too thin, which allows them to adapt to the high altitude conditions here very quickly and not be troubled by altitude sickness.

At this moment, Lin Shi was in a small town called Bosaimo at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. It took Lin Shi about three days to get here from Qinhuang City. The journey was not short, and this was because he had the help of elves along the way.

Bosaimo is a small town with distinct ethnic characteristics. The main residents are ethnic minorities who have lived here for generations. However, because it is July, which is the best time for the scenery here, it has attracted many foreign tourists.

Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, Lin Shi had no time to appreciate it. He now needed to wait for the forest rangers to meet up with him, otherwise it would be very troublesome for him to go to the forest ranger station alone.

During this time, Lin Shi planned to go to the market in Bosemone to see if there was any chance to find a bargain.

"Slow down, forge master, and be careful not to bump into anyone."

The skilled blacksmith seemed a little excited following Lin Shi, jumping around and looking at the items on the stall.

Lin Shi helplessly reminded the Blacksmith and also kept an eye out for the Pokémon following the people around him. The Kunlun Mountains have a large span and a high altitude, and there are many kinds of Pokémon living there.

"Om..."

On the stalls on both sides of the road, some colorful butterfly-shaped Pokémon were flying around. The scales scattered when they flapped their wings were like fireworks in the daytime, emitting seven colors of light under the sunlight.

"Moruru moth, poisonous powder moth, gentleman moth..."

"The Great Butterfly, the Colorful Pink Butterfly, the Hunting Swallowtail..."

After a while, Lin Shi saw many types of butterfly Pokémon, and these Pokémon were not necessarily captured and bred by humans.

A large number of them are wild Pokémon living in the surrounding sea of ​​flowers. They gather here spontaneously because they are attracted by the things sold at the stalls.

The people who have lived here for generations have long been accustomed to their existence and will not drive them away. This is the best way for people and nature to live in harmony.

"Freshly picked high-quality herbs, with sunshine effects, absolutely fresh, handsome guys can take a look..."

"The best jade, made of high-quality materials, crystal clear..."

In addition to some special souvenir stalls serving tourists on the roadside, the majority of stalls are those selling medicinal materials and jade. Many of the items are still covered in mud, and it’s almost as if the words “pure natural” were engraved on them.

But in fact, Lin Shi knew very well that many of them were artificially cultivated. After all, the Kunlun Mountains were in a special location. The climate at the foot of the mountain was relatively mild, while the climate on the mountain was unique and the natural environment was good, which was very suitable for the growth of some medicinal materials.

Lin Shi squatted down and checked the herbs on the stall, all of which were rarely seen on weekdays.

Vitality Root: A very bitter medicinal root that can restore the health of the elves, but it may also reduce intimacy.

Jade: One of the raw materials for making Poké Balls. The better the quality of the jade, the better the quality of the Poké Ball can be.

Healing herbs: Herbs with certain therapeutic effects, which are one of the raw materials for making wound medicines.

……

There are a wide variety of things, but Lin Shi is not very interested. The effects of these Chinese medicines can be used to prepare more complete alternative medicines of various types, and there is no need to worry about the side effect of reduced intimacy.

Lin Shi would only be interested if there was a healing elixir like resurrection grass. After all, resurrection grass had special medicinal effects and was effective quickly. It could also be used in battle, which was almost equivalent to giving the elf an extra life.

"Boss, resurrection grass."

Just as Lin Shi was still carefully checking as if he was searching for a treasure, a rough voice with a distinct accent sounded beside him.

"Okay, Uncle Shadan, please wait a moment, I'll get it now."

The shop owner greeted him warmly and immediately turned around and walked into the shop behind him. After a while, he came out with a jade-green herb and handed it to Shadan.

"Oh my god, there really is resurrection grass..."

Lin Shi also stood up and looked at the customer curiously. He was a man who was not very tall and strong. His skin was the red and black color unique to the high-altitude cold environment. His hair was pale and he looked quite old. There were some scars on his face, which made him look a little hideous.

What attracted Lin Shi's attention even more was that the man was wearing a uniform-like outfit. He must be a staff member of some organization.

"Good quality, pack it up."

After looking at the resurrection herb, Shadan nodded and handed the herb back to the owner.

……

"Okay, walk slowly."

"Um……"

Holding the packaged herbs, Shadan left the shop without saying much.

"Boss, I want a resurrection grass too."

Watching Shadan leave, Lin Shi looked at the boss and said.

"Sorry, there are no more. That was the last one."

The boss smiled and said to Lin Shi.

"No way, what a coincidence, there's nothing left here?"

Lin Shi frowned, thinking that he was unlucky.

"I can't help it. The resurrection grass is not easy to pick and the profit is not very high. I left that one plant on purpose. Otherwise, I don't think anyone would buy this herb."

The boss shook his head and said.

"Left it here on purpose? Left it for that uncle just now?"

Lin Shi was a little curious. It seemed that this uncle had a high reputation.
