Pokémon: From Magikarp

Sadan: ...

"Okay, I'll give you some more time."

Shadan said through gritted teeth.

"Thank you Captain."

Lin Shi said with a smile while squinting his eyes, then turned his head to look at the skillful blacksmith among the elves.

The Artificer was the last elf he conquered. Unlike the other elves he conquered, Lin Shi could clearly feel that the Artificer was special because he had lived alone.

Among his Pokémons, Ursa and Arcanine have been following him since birth, and the same is true for Kabutops, which has been carefully cared for and raised by the academy since childhood.

Although Gyarados and Aegisblade are wild Pokémon, the former was too peaceful when it was Magikarp and its personality has hardly changed, while the latter has been in the Tower of Souls since its birth, cut off from the outside world.

Only the skilled blacksmith has lived alone in the wild, where all kinds of people live together, since he was a child. You have to know that reality is not a utopia, and the hardships of life for a weak elf are innumerable.

This also caused its skilled blacksmiths to be more cautious and dexterous, and more eager to become stronger.

Now that he could meet its own kind, Lin Shi felt that it was only reasonable and moral to let them have a good exchange. This would definitely be beneficial to the skilled blacksmith.

"Cha wow."

The skilled blacksmith, surrounded by many of his fellow tribesmen, walked towards Lin Shi and kept saying something to him.

After spending a long time together, Lin Shi roughly understood what it meant. He nodded and turned to look at Shadan.

"Captain Sha, they seem to want to invite my skilled blacksmith to visit their gathering place."

Then Lin Shi listened attentively to what the skilled blacksmith said, nodded, and continued.

"Oh, it seems that they don't allow outsiders to enter, so I would like to ask you for permission, is that ok?"

"Guest?"

Shadan was a little surprised at first, but then he fell silent and thought.

After thinking about it, he found that there seemed to be no problem. Moreover, if the skilled blacksmiths in Lin Shi could establish good relations with the local ethnic groups here, it would also be beneficial to their forest protection station's research on these skilled blacksmiths. Thinking of this, Shadan nodded.

Just as I was about to say a few words, I heard Lin Shi's words.

"That's great, thank you Captain, you go back alone and be careful, I'll be back soon."

Sadan:?

Shadan's eyes widened.

What does that mean? So he is the only outsider, right?

"What about you?" Shadan asked in a lost voice.

"Of course I'm going with the skilled blacksmith." Lin Shi scratched his face and said as a matter of course.

"Why?"

"I'm the trainer of the Skilled Blacksmith, which means I'm his guardian. Of course I have to go with him. Besides, they all agree." Lin Shi said, pointing at the Skilled Blacksmiths.

"This……"

Shadan wanted to say something, but was suddenly stopped by Lin Shi.

"Captain, don't worry. We will not cause any trouble if we go there. Besides, I can also take this opportunity to investigate the situation of this tribe of skilled blacksmiths. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Lin Shi's words made Shadan's face change, but he had to admit that what Lin Shi said made sense. This group of skilled blacksmiths were a newly discovered elf race and had great significance for the entire Kunlun Mountains.

"Not only that, judging from the attitudes of the Skillful Blacksmith and the Giant Blacksmith towards the two Colt Saber Soldiers just now, there must be a conflict between these two species. I will also find an opportunity to investigate some specific circumstances."

"Again, we'll try not to cause any trouble."

Seeing Shadan wavering, Lin Shi raised his eyebrows and said, strike while the iron is hot.

"Ok?"

Shadan glanced at Lin Shi. Why did he remember that he had just said that he would never...

"Well, I can agree that you can leave and go to the gathering place of skilled blacksmiths." Shadan nodded and then changed the subject.

"But I have to say this first. You must abide by the Forest Ranger Code and you cannot tame any wild Pokémon at will, no matter how rare that Pokémon is."

"If you want to tame an elf, you must report it and obtain permission before you can tame it. Otherwise, it will be considered poaching and breaking the law knowingly, which is an even more serious crime!"

"In addition, you must keep the location of these elves secret. You must not reveal this information to anyone, not even your closest relatives. If you fail to do so, I will personally punish you severely."

Shadan said with a serious expression, faintly emitting a murderous aura. It was not difficult to tell from his tone that he was absolutely serious.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Lin Shi smiled and nodded.

……

"Cha wah cha wah..."

In this way, Lin Shi followed a group of skilled blacksmiths and began to move deeper into the cave. Along the way, he kept observing the surrounding environment and memorized the route as much as possible.

Soon, after turning left and right, Lin Shi came to a large underground space facing the skilled blacksmiths. The walls around it were pale white. It should be a metal mineral, suitable for the skilled blacksmiths to forge their own hammers.

"Dangdang..."

The knocking sounds became clearer and clearer, and Lin Shi knew that he should have arrived at the real gathering place of the skilled blacksmiths.

"Cha wow."

At this moment, the giant blacksmith who was in the lead shouted loudly, and soon little pink elves popped their heads out from different holes, looking around curiously.

When Lin Shi looked around, he saw no less than ten elves, most of them were small blacksmiths, and a few were skilled blacksmiths.

"Whoosh."

While Lin Shi was still observing, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a huge metal hammer with white light was thrown out from the depths of the cave. Then there was a loud bang, and the hammer fell heavily to the ground, shaking the ground.

"Cha wow."

Then, a figure quickly jumped onto the hammer, holding the hammer handle in his hand and looking at Lin Shi and his skilled blacksmith with a domineering look.

The skilled blacksmith looked at it carefully and took a breath of cold air for a moment. The level of this giant blacksmith was as high as over level 60, dominating the group. Lin Shi guessed that she should be the leader of this group of skilled blacksmiths.

After this leader Giant Blacksmith, several more Giant Blacksmiths came over one after another, but they were far inferior to the previous one in terms of level and size.

Then, the leader giant forge swung his leg, and the giant hammer flew into the air. It caught it steadily in its hand, and pointed the hammer head directly at Lin Shi, shouting domineeringly:

"Cha wah cha wah..."

Lin Shi: ...

It's quite domineering, but I just don't understand...

"Cha wow!"

Seeing someone making things difficult for his trainer, the Skillful Blacksmith immediately rushed over, the hammer in his hand emitting light. He stood in front of Lin Shi and roared at his evolved form without showing any weakness.

Looking at this scene, Lin Shi smiled.

I feel warm in my heart.

"Cha wah?"

However, the giant blacksmith did not pay attention to the actions of the skillful blacksmith, but stared closely at the warhammer in its hand that was emitting seven-color light, his eyes full of admiration, as if he was looking at a work of art.
