Pokémon: From Magikarp

"No, but I have been to the burial place of my ancestors. Can Grandpa Sangji tell me about it?"

Lin Shi shook his head and said that he was actually quite curious about those years of blood and fire.

"Oh, there's nothing to say."

Sangji sighed and looked up towards the snow-capped mountains.

"When we first started to build the forest ranger station, it was much more difficult than it is now. Not only was the infrastructure poor, but even transportation was inconvenient."

"Moreover, poachers were rampant at that time. They wantonly captured the elves living in the Kunlun Mountains and ignored the newly established forest rangers. They often provoked or even attacked the rangers at that time."

Sanji paused, then picked an olive from Oliva's body, took out the oil, and gently applied it on the shell of the Kabutops, making it sparkle under the light.

"But fortunately, the forest rangers at that time were not weak. Facing the counterattack of the poaching groups, they responded appropriately. Although they were at a disadvantage occasionally, they still had the upper hand for a long time."

"Until one day..."

Sangji's eyes were deep, and the scene at that time seemed to reappear in front of him. Shadan was brought back by the blood-breathing dragon, and he was also seriously injured.

He only said one sentence before he fell into a coma:

"All the members of the Forest Ranger Station died..."

Lin Shi pinched his brows. Although Sang Ji only said a few words, Lin Shi could still feel the hardship and bloodiness of that period.

"To be able to become a member of the Hulin clan, they must be quite powerful. How could they be wiped out all of a sudden? What happened at that time?"

Lin Shi immediately asked.

"I don't know the details of the incident, but I heard from Shadan that there was a traitor among them, which led to the ambush and the tragedy."

Sanji shook his head and said.

"After this incident, the alliance was furious and dispatched the military base stationed in the Kunlun Mountains to conduct a thorough cleanup of the entire Kunlun Mountain Nature Reserve for nearly three months."

"Since then, the poaching groups that were active and aggressive have been almost wiped out. Even if there are a few that have escaped, they are unlikely to become a force to be reckoned with."

"Although there are still profit-seeking people who come here to poach and make huge profits over the years, they have no longer been able to cause any major impact on the nature reserve and forest protection."

Sangji finished speaking in one breath, with a sigh in his tone. In such a world, a powerful elf can almost change a person's destiny. As long as there is still profit to be made, it will be difficult to eradicate the poachers in the vast mountains and wilderness.

"Woo..."

Listening to Sangji's words, Lin Shi's heart was also excited. Looking at the snow-capped mountains, he admired these forest rangers who were silently guarding the wilderness.

In this way, the two chatted for a long time. Lin Shi's elves were all healthy and had no problems. Sangji also gave Lin Shi a few of his Oliva olives, which were a nutritious fruit.

In the second half of the night, forest rangers including Shadan came back one after another, but they all looked unhappy.

Because they found that not only the ice rock monster population, but also several other rare elves populations were being poached.

Although they sensed the presence of the perpetrator from the clues left at the scene, they did not see any human figures. There was no other way. The Kunlun Mountains were too large. Even with the help of elves, it was impossible for them to search every corner.

So in the past few days, all the caregivers began to intensify the intensity of their mountain patrols. Each group had more members, who took turns resting and working, and never gave the other side any chance to take advantage.

On the other hand, a professional team was dispatched to investigate this poaching gang. Unlike previous small-scale fights, this time the other party was obviously well prepared, well-trained and very powerful.

A week passed in a flash, and Lin Shi also joined the mountain patrol team, but even so, there were still not enough people, and the elves in some places were still poached or even killed.

Shadan's face became more and more ugly. He looked worried every day, as if something was chasing him. He always led the patrols, traveling through the mountains day and night.

Looking at his appearance, Lin Shi sometimes worried that his body would not be able to hold on.

……

The cold wind blew, like a knife cutting on people's faces. Lin Shi stepped on the soft snow, identified the direction, and walked into the snow valley.

Lin Shi did not come to patrol the mountain today, but planned to take advantage of the rest time to harvest the ice radishes that had been planted here.

After a few days of cultivation, the ice radish plants grew very well, and the leaves became much wider, so Lin Shi didn't dare to cultivate them any further. Otherwise, if they really matured and attracted the Snow Horse, it would be troublesome.

“Ah…”

Seeing Lin Shi coming, the big Chao Beibi standing in the ice and snow like a statue made a sound, and its body shook slightly, and the snow on its body fell off.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dachao Beibi."

Lin Shi thanked it and said that although there had been a battle before, its condition was not very good at the time. After it recovered, it was particularly grateful to Lin Shi for treating it.

During this period of time, we have been able to do so thanks to it and the Giant Blacksmith who have been guarding here day and night, rain or shine.

He carefully transplanted the radish plants in the snow with the soil into the pots he had prepared long ago. Looking at the fruits that had already begun to take shape, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Just like that, after putting away the potted plants and saying goodbye to Da Chao Beibi, Lin Shi hurriedly left the Snow Valley. He left quietly, so he had to hurry back, otherwise he would be in trouble if he was discovered sneaking out of the camp.

In fact, he didn't want to do this, but it was really difficult for him to explain. After all, why would a normal person grow radishes in the snow for no reason?

Riding on Gyarados again, Lin Shi flew quickly towards the camp. The snow-white mountains around him quickly swept away, and the cold wind made Lin Shi shrink his neck.

"Hey..."

The sound of a bird's cry echoed in the vast valley. Lin Shi was slightly startled. He was very familiar with this voice. It was the voice of Tian Chong's big bird.

But Lin Shi remembered that he should have gone to patrol the border area of ​​Red Mountain Peak with Shadan and the others today, so why was he here now?

Without hesitation, Lin Shi immediately commanded Gyarados to fly towards the direction where the sound came from, and soon saw Pidgeot flying desperately in the valley.

It looked a little disheveled at the moment, with some of its feathers burnt. It was flying crookedly in the air with great effort, as if it would fall down at any time.

On its back, Tian Chong had a panicked look on his face. He turned his head to look behind him from time to time, as if he was on guard against something.

"Tian Chong? Why is he here? He seems injured."

Before Lin Shi could figure out the situation, a flash of fire suddenly came from behind the big bird. The fire was so fast and fierce that it was behind Tian Chong in the blink of an eye.

Watching the blazing flames descend, Tian Chong's heart gradually sank to the bottom...
