Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Okay, Uncle Luosang, where is what I want?"

On the other side, after pulling the old man aside, Shadan asked anxiously.

"Didn't I give it to you?"

The old man stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

Hearing this, the old man opened one eye and looked at Shadan. After thinking for a while, he sighed heavily.

"Got it. Take it."

As he spoke, the old man took out a bottle from his chest and threw it to Shadan.

"Thank you, Uncle Luosang."

After taking the bottle, Shadan thanked the old man, but the old man did not respond but just sighed deeply.

After taking the things, Shadan turned his head and looked at Lin Shi, who was looking at the Charizard furtively, and waved his hand.

"Boy, let's go."

……

The forest protection station that Lin Shi was going to was located at Hongshan Peak at the junction of Central Kunlun and East Kunlun in the Kunlun Mountains. It had an altitude of nearly 5000 meters, and the highest point of the mountain was over 6000 meters.

The off-road vehicle sped along, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. Although the appearance of flying elves made transportation much more convenient, it did not completely eliminate cars as a means of transportation.

After all, at certain times, it can transport items more conveniently and quickly.

"Okay, we're here, get off."

At this moment, Lin Shi had already changed into warm clothes. Looking at the snow-capped mountains not far away, he was amazed and shocked.

"The captain is back."

Hearing the sound of the car, the forest rangers came out of the room one by one. Compared with Shadan, they looked a lot younger, all of them were young and strong men in their twenties or thirties. After all, the forest rangers in Kunlun Mountain did not have enough energy and it was difficult for them to complete the high-intensity mountain patrol work.

"Is this the new guy? He's quite handsome, isn't he?"

"welcome……"

The people at the forest ranger station were quite friendly, and they greeted Lin when he got off the car.

"Okay, stop making a fuss and go get the things out of the car."

"Xiao Jiang, take the new guy to where he lives."

Shadan said to everyone, then he turned his gaze to Lin Shi.

"Sleep well, and patrol the mountain early tomorrow morning. If you can't hold on, get out of here, hum..."

After hearing Shadan's words, Lin Shi didn't take it to heart at all. He looked behind one of the team members and walked towards the room.

"Little brother……"

"My name is Lin Shi."

"Oh, brother Lin Shi, my name is Jiang Guanrong. I've been here for two years. Welcome to join us."

Jiang Guanrong is a short young man with a crew cut. He has a dark complexion and some redness on his face that is unique to high-altitude areas. He seems to be very talkative and introduced the situation to Lin Shi along the way.

"Oh, by the way, don't take Captain Shadan's words to heart. He's not targeting you. He's like this to every newcomer. In fact, he's very nice to people."

Jiang Guanrong spoke as he walked, speaking well of their captain.

"He does this to everyone. Why? Isn't he afraid of not being able to recruit people by doing this?" Lin Shi asked curiously.

"Oh, you can see how bad the natural environment here is. Who would choose to come to such a place to be a forest ranger?"

"So if you don't have absolute willpower to stay here, you will most likely be a drag. It's better to get out as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for everyone."

Jiang Guanrong explained and then sighed.

"Alas, I heard that Captain Shadan encountered a player like this when he was young. A lot of things happened to him at that time, so Captain Shadan is so sensitive to new players now."

"Don't worry, it will be fine as we spend more time together."

Listening to Jiang Guanrong's words, Lin Shi recalled the information about Shadan, which he had learned from the shop owner.

Shadan is a legendary figure in Bosaimo. It is said that he became a forest ranger here when he was still young. The conditions at that time were not as prosperous as they are now, and poachers were particularly rampant.

Every year, many forest rangers died in the fight against poachers in the wild. Therefore, the position of forest ranger became a position that almost no one was willing to take.

But Shadan is different. He is extremely tenacious and strong. Whenever he encounters poachers, he always leads the charge. He has captured and destroyed countless poachers and gangs in his life, and has made great achievements.

Originally, he had reached the age of retirement, but he was still worried about the mountains and elves that he had protected for a lifetime, so he resolutely stayed and continued to serve as a forest ranger. He is truly admirable.

Therefore, he has a high prestige and is respected by all the people in Bosmo. This is why, even though the profit is not high, the herbal shop owner will still leave a resurrection herb for him.

After packing his luggage, Lin Shi had his first meal here. Although the place was remote, the transportation was convenient and the supplies for daily life were all available, so he did not feel anything was wrong.

Just like that, the whole night passed in silence, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day, which was also the first day that Lin Shi’s practical activities officially began.

As soon as the sky was getting light, the hardworking Lin Shi opened his eyes, and then quickly closed them again.

"Hey Lin Shi, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, we have to patrol the mountains today."

As soon as he closed his eyes, Lin Shi heard Jiang Guanrong's voice. There was nothing he could do. It seemed he couldn't take a nap this time.

However, he was still looking forward to today's mountain patrol trip, because he wanted to find a place suitable for growing ice radish during the patrol.

……

"You, the new guy, come with me. The others will patrol the mountain according to the original configuration. If you find any situation, please contact us immediately..."

Shadan said in a muffled voice, and the team members beside him nodded in agreement, then dispersed, leaving only Lin Shi and Shadan.

"Captain Sha, which direction are we heading?"

Seeing everyone leaving, Lin Shi also looked at Shadan and asked.

"Let's go to Honggukou, where many rare elf species live. Your task today is to record the number of members and living conditions of each elf species."

Shadan took a puff of his cigarette and said, then threw the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it with his feet, picked it up and threw it into the trash can.

"Let's go, Charizard, come out."

Then Shadan took out the Poké Ball and released Charizard again. Just standing next to it made Lin Shi feel warm.

“Are there any elves that can fly?”

Shadan looked at Lin Shi and asked. Seeing Lin Shi nod, he took the lead in riding on the Charizard, his eyes looking at the snow-capped mountains not far away.

"Follow closely."

Then, Charizard flapped its wings and flew out instantly. Lin Shi also quickly summoned Gyarados and rode behind it. Looking at Charizard which was far ahead in front, Lin Shi sighed.

Although his Gyarados and Shieldsword can fly, they have certain limitations. After all, they cannot compare with Pokémon that have learned the flying skill. Thinking of this, Lin thought of Kabutops.

I hope it evolves quickly. The Dragonite soaring in the sky is the flying mount he is most looking forward to.
