Pokémon: From Magikarp

"I... uh... I can still drink, I... I'm not drunk... uh."

"Okay, calm down for a moment. You said you didn't measure your drink, so why did you drink so much?"

Supporting the drunk Shadan, Lin Shi sighed.

After talking to Lin Shi just now, Shadan started drinking one sip after another.

He was also reciting poems while drinking, but the poems were not complete, only a few lines like "Singing to the wine, how short is life? It is like the morning dew, and the past days are full of suffering..." He repeated them over and over again, and I don't know where he learned them. The difference between his painting style is too big.

He even wanted to snatch the jar of wine that Lin Shi had only taken a sip of and continue drinking, but was decisively stopped by Lin Shi.

Lin Shi sometimes really doubted that he was not drinking to commemorate the deceased, but was simply addicted to alcohol.

"Huh... we're finally here."

After leaving the sea of ​​flowers with Shadan, Lin Shi rode Gyarados all the way to the forest ranger station. Looking at the twinkling lights below, Lin Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are there so many people?"

Before Lin Shi went down, he saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the forest ranger station. They were all staff members of the forest ranger station.

"Ouch..."

Gyarados let out a soft roar and landed on the ground with Lin Shi and Shadan, which naturally attracted the attention of other people in the yard.

"Lin Shi, you guys are back."

The person who spoke was Jiang Guanrong. When he saw Lin Shi, he waved to him immediately. But when he saw Lin Shi supporting the staggering Shadan, his expression suddenly changed.

"What's going on? What happened to the captain? Were you attacked?"

Jiang Guanrong's exclamation quickly attracted other people's attention, and when they saw Shadan's condition, they immediately surrounded him.

"Don't worry, it's okay. The captain is just drunk. He will be fine after a good sleep."

As he spoke, Lin Shi handed Shadan to the two forest rangers beside him, stretched himself and said with a smile.

After observing Shadan carefully and finding that his breathing was even, his face was rosy and he reeked of alcohol, he was completely relieved.

"That's right. The memorial day of the first forest ranger and Captain Shadan's comrades is approaching. He is like this every year at this time." Looking at Shadan's appearance, Jiang Guanrong sighed and said.

What are you doing here with so many people? "

Watching Shadan being helped into his room, Lin Shi turned around and asked Jiang Guanrong. After all, why were so many people gathering in the yard for no reason?

“This… hehe…”

When Jiang Guanrong heard Lin Shi's question, a smile appeared on his face and he scratched his head as if embarrassed.

Lin Shi: ...

Don't mention it, Lin Shi looked at him. Although he didn't know what would happen, he actually felt a little bit excited...

"The doctor will be here soon to conduct regular health checks on the rangers and elves," Jiang Guanrong said.

"what?"

Lin Shi’s eyelids twitched. What’s the point of having such a lewd expression on your face?

"Is it that simple? Then why are you all blocking here?" Lin Shi narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.

"Let me guess, is there a popular doctor among the doctors who will be here soon? For example, a pretty lady?"

Hearing Lin Shi's words, Jiang Guanrong couldn't help but smile and gave Lin Shi a thumbs up.

"Brother Lin Shi is smart. That's right. The one in charge of today's routine checkup is Doctor Mei Duo. She is a beautiful woman known as the Flower of Bosemmo. She is also a skilled doctor. Almost all of our elves have been treated by her."

"The flower of Bosaimo?" Lin Shi was stunned.

Such a familiar title.

He couldn't help but think of the wrinkled face of old man Sangji. Could this Dr. Meadow be the granddaughter he mentioned?

Considering that old man Sangji seemed to be a very prestigious doctor, Lin Shi felt that this possibility was very high.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi also joined the army of fans at the door, waiting for the doctor to arrive.

"Well..."

Just then a melodious cry was heard, and a giant bird circled in the sky and landed, and two men in ranger uniforms jumped off the giant bird.

Lin Shi looked over in confusion. He didn't expect that there was a group of forest rangers who came back later than him and Shadan. They had been here for half a month, so Lin Shi was no stranger to these two people.

The fatter one is called Tian Chong, and the giant bird should be his elf. Lin Shi remembers that the tall guy next to him is called Xing Jianwei. These two people rarely interact with Lin Shi, but they are all very easy to talk to.

"Tian Chong, why did you come back just now?"

As soon as the two people came down, someone naturally asked them, but the two people did not say much. Instead, they entered Shadan's room with a somewhat ugly look. Even if Jiang Guanrong told them that Shadan was already asleep, it was useless.

Lin Shi's brows gradually frowned, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, not long after the two people went in, Shadan came out with two people. At this moment, his face was still a little rosy, but he was obviously sober and his expression was solemn.

"gather!"

At Shadan's command, the forest rangers who were waiting for the doctor to arrive quickly lined up. Lin Shi was no exception. He quickly found a good position and waited for Shadan to speak.

"You tell me."

Shadan pressed his temples and it seemed that his head still hurt.

Tian Chong nodded to Shadan, then looked at the forest rangers.

"Brothers, when Xing Jianwei and I went to inspect the elves just now, we found that a group of ice rock monsters was missing a few members, and we also found traces of a battle."

"From those traces, it's easy to tell that it was caused by multiple elves with different attributes, so we infer that there is a high possibility that a poaching team poached the ice rock monsters in the tribe."

Tian Chong's words caused the scene to fall into silence for a moment. A solemn expression appeared on everyone's face, even Lin Shi was no exception.

In fact, when I first came to the forest ranger station, I heard from Shadan that there had indeed been suspected poaching activities discovered within the protected area recently.

But in the past half month, everything has been peaceful, and no elf tribe has discovered poaching until now...

"This is the situation..."

"So I ask you to be extremely alert and remember that this is not a joke. You may face extremely vicious and cruel poachers. If you are not careful, you may pay the price with blood."

After Shadan finished speaking, he looked around. There was silence, but everyone had a resolute look on their face. They were forest rangers, the front line against poachers. They knew their mission. Even if the poachers were extremely vicious, they were definitely not weak!

In fact, forest ranger has always been an extremely risky profession. After all, poachers who are able and dare to go to the wild environment to hunt must be very skilled and their trainer level must not be low.

When faced with capture by forest rangers, they often choose to resist to the end, and as a result, life-and-death battles often break out.

"Very good, you are worthy of being my brother..."

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Shadan nodded with satisfaction, then took a deep breath and said loudly with full energy:

"Now all members are here, divided according to the normal division, go into the mountains with me to investigate the poachers. Everyone should wear communication equipment, be vigilant, and focus on their own safety."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes……"

As soon as Shadan finished speaking, many forest rangers returned to their rooms to put on their equipment.

Lin Shi looked at Shadan, because he had only been here for a short time and had not yet formed a mature group like them. He usually acted together with Shadan.

"Captain, which group should I go to?"

Shadan glanced at Lin Shi and shook his head without thinking.

"You stay."
