Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Um, Captain Sha, are you lost?"

The wind was cold and biting. Lin Shi rode on Gyarados and asked Shadan who was standing beside him.

"No."

Shadan stared at the snow-capped peaks in the distance and said calmly.

Lin Shi was speechless for a while, and said directly:

"So where are we going? Are there other elf groups we want to investigate?"

"Don't worry, I'll take you to a good place and you'll know it soon. By the way, take everything I asked you to take."

Shadan spoke very cheerfully, but Lin Shi could sense something unnatural in his words.

He took a look at the box that Gyarados was carrying. It was the one that Shadan asked him to carry before they set off, and it had never been used. But he didn't open it to see what was inside.

"Don't worry, Captain. I have them all with me."

"Um……"

Shadan didn't say anything, just nodded. Lin Shi didn't ask any more questions and followed Shadan all the way. Soon a cave appeared in front of him.

"Come down. You can't fly in here. You can only walk in."

Shadan jumped off the Charizard and said to Lin behind him.

Lin Shi also took back Gyarados, stepped on the soft snow, and looked around. Based on his observations along the way, they should be on the outskirts of Red Mountain Peak, close to the territory of Qun Yu Peak.

This place is closer to the central part of the Kunlun Mountains, with a higher altitude and a much colder climate. Even many Pokémon don't like such an environment. It can be said to be a place where "the birds have flown away from the thousands of mountains and the people have disappeared from the thousands of paths."

Holding flashlights, the two men walked into the cave together. Looking at Shadan's skillful movements and footprints on the ground, Lin Shi knew that Captain Shadan must have come here many times.

I didn't see any elves when I walked into the cave. It was very narrow at first, just enough for a person to pass through. But after walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became clear!

After walking for about an hour, Lin Shi gradually saw a light coming from the distance. The light was extremely warm, and even the temperature seemed to have risen a lot.

"Let's go, we're just ahead."

Shadan greeted and said, looking at the bright light at the exit in front.

The sunlight became more dazzling, and Lin Shi couldn't help but squint his eyes. When a flash of white light passed by, Lin Shi had already walked out of the cave.

In an instant, a scent of flowers wafted into his nose, a warm breeze blew, and Lin Shi opened his eyes completely.

The land in front of me is flat and the climate is pleasant. Colorful flowers cover the entire green grass ground. It is actually a sea of ​​flowers!

Lin Shiwei was a little dazed. In the past half month since he came to the forest ranger station, he had hardly seen any flowers or even grass. He was really shocked to see such a beautiful and vibrant scene appear all of a sudden.

You know, this is a high peak with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. It is a miracle that such a paradise and sea of ​​flowers can be born in such cold and oxygen-deficient conditions.

"Buzz..."

Because of the sudden appearance of Lin Shi and the other person, the indigenous people of this sea of ​​flowers seemed to be frightened and hid themselves all of a sudden. When they saw that the two people had not moved for a long time, they came out curiously and looked at the two people curiously.

Lin Shi also looked towards the sea of ​​flowers. Colorful butterfly Pokémon were dancing among the flowers. In addition, he also saw three bees, butterfly flies and even rare flower Beibei and flower leaf pedicels.

The elf-like petals holding colorful flowers dance among the flowers in the breeze, just like a fairy tale world.

"Move the stuff over here."

Shadan's words broke the originally graceful atmosphere. His rough voice immediately scared away the timid elves who had wanted to surround him.

Shadan ignored all this and after instructing Lin Shi, he walked towards the center of the sea of ​​flowers. From afar, Lin Shi could see a sturdy tree with lush branches and leaves standing in the sea of ​​flowers like a tall tower.

Picking up the box, Lin Shi followed Shadan through the sea of ​​flowers. Petals were flying all around, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, and they gradually came under the sturdy tree.

Lin Shi looked at it carefully. He couldn't recognize the species of the tree at first, but it was indeed full of vitality and looked tall and extraordinary.

Shadan came under the tree and stroked the rough trunk of the tree with his hand, his eyes flickering, as if he remembered something.

"Give me the stuff."

Shadan said in a buzzing voice, and Lin Shi immediately handed the thing over. He was also curious about what Captain Sha was going to do.

The box was opened, revealing several rough dark brown jars. Shadan opened the cap of one bottle with his hand, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out, drifting far away with the wind.

"Brothers, I come to see you again. This is the fine wine I have collected. Let's drink to our heart's content today..."

Shadan muttered softly with a heavy accent, so Lin Shi couldn't hear what he said afterwards.

"Cough cough..."

The strong liquor went down his throat, causing Shadan to cough uncontrollably, and a few drops of liquor spilled onto the ground.

Then he took out another jar, opened the lid, and sprinkled the water evenly on the ground until there was no drop left.

"Come, you have a taste of this good wine."

Shadan reached out and took out a jar, turned around and threw it to Lin Shi. Lin Shi was startled by Shadan's sudden behavior and quickly reached out and grabbed the jar.

Weighing the heavy jar of wine, Lin Shi shook his head in a calm voice.

"I'm sorry, Captain. I have to ride the Elf back soon. Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking..."

As he spoke, Lin Shi glanced at Shadan and continued:

"Besides, I also suggest you drink less. It's not good for your health."

"Humph, if you don't want to drink, forget it. Don't say such spoiling words. It's just right that you don't want to drink. I'll be drunk in a while, and you can just take me home."

Shadan snorted coldly, raised the jar of wine again and drank it in big gulps. In a short while, he finished the whole jar of wine.

"Cool!"

Looking at the Shadan whale drinking like a cow, Lin Shi frowned.

"Captain Sha, this tree... is it your brother?"

After looking at the big tree with roots like dragons and lush branches and leaves, he couldn't help but ask. He felt that his captain's eyes were full of stories today.

Hearing Lin Shi's words, Shadan shook his head without even turning his head, and stretched out his hand and pointed downwards.

"Beneath this tree are buried all the forest rangers who have died in the line of duty since the establishment of the forest ranger station. A total of 27 of them."

Shadan's words made Lin Shi's heart tremble. He remembered that Shadan should be an old man who had been here since the establishment of the forest protection station. In other words, those buried under this tree were all his former comrades-in-arms. Perhaps many of them died in his arms...

"Most of them died in the fight against poachers at the beginning of the forest ranger station. It's been almost forty years..."

Shadan raised his head and looked up at the sky as if he was reminiscing about something.

Lin Shi did not say anything. Looking at the green leaves swaying in the wind, he slowly opened the jar of wine in his hand, smelled the strong aroma of the wine and took a sip.
