Pokémon: From Magikarp

The cold wind was biting. Lin Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked into the distance towards the mountains with an uncertain expression.

According to the bald man, they had been planning this ambush for a long time and had mobilized a large number of people, including him. They also mobilized three gym leader-level trainers, and he was the third among them. The eldest among them was a more experienced gym leader-level trainer.

Not only that, according to him, their boss is still following orders. It can be said that there is a lot of water involved!

"Huh...Okay, let's go take a look first."

Lin Shi is not a hesitant person. Although there is danger, he has the system with him, so he will not rush into the encirclement. The enemy is in the open while he is in the dark, so there may be room for maneuver. If it really doesn't work, he will wait to join up with Tian Chong and attack together.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi no longer hesitated. With Bald Three on his body, he turned around and rode on Gyarados. In case the other party had a deep brotherly relationship, it might be useful for him to have a hostage.

……

On the other side, deep in the snow valley, when Lin Shi was fighting with the bald man, the situation of Shadan and his group was extremely bad.

The other side was well prepared, and some unknown means had interfered with their communicators. Now they were isolated and helpless, and could only pray that Tian Chong, who had just been sent out by everyone at great risk, could return to the forest ranger station safely and seek support.

But they also knew that the journey was long, and even if Tian Chong really escaped, by the time he brought his men back, it would probably be too late...

"Captain Shadan, you still think that your half-dead team member can return alive, right? I advise you to surrender obediently, and I can give you a quick death!"

A middle-aged man in black stood on a huge ivory pig with long tusks, crossed his arms and spoke viciously to Shadan and others.

"Boss, why waste time talking to them? Just kill them all."

Next to the man in black, a man as thin as a monkey spoke with murderous intent in his words, and a ferocious-looking dragon king scorpion next to him also roared.

The eldest brother listened to the fourth brother's words in silence. He also wanted to get rid of Shadan, the thorn in his side, but the people above said that he had to be killed alive!

"Ahem... Captain, although Tian Chong has rushed out, he definitely won't have time to come back. What should we do? Delay for time to defend or find an opportunity to attack?"

Xing Jianzheng's breathing became a little rapid, and he leaned close to Shadan's ear and whispered.

Their current situation is not very good. They only have two gym leader-level trainers, Shadan and him, while the other three team members only have a few gym leader-level Pokémon each. The gap in strength compared to the opponents is too big.

Several Pokémon were killed or injured in the fight just now. Now they can only rely on a few gym leader-level Pokémon to passively shrink the circle for defense, but this is not a long-term solution after all.

After hearing what his team members said, Shadan did not react much. On the contrary, his expression, which was usually impetuous, became more and more indifferent. On the battlefield, his Charizard was fighting against five Pokémons from the poaching gang alone, and the scars on his body became more and more dense.

"We are at the mercy of others. If we wait any longer, we will die. Tell everyone to get ready. We are breaking out."

Shadan said in a flat voice.

"it is good."

Xing Jianzheng nodded. This was also his opinion. But when he was about to tell his teammates about this, he heard Shadan's words again.

"I will have my elves stop the enemy in a moment. You can take this opportunity to escape. Remember to escape regardless of the consequences. You are familiar with the terrain here, so you have a great chance of escaping."

Shadan's tone remained calm, as if he had already made a decision.

"What? Captain, what do you mean?"

Xing Jianzheng widened his eyes and said in disbelief when he heard this.

"You want to stop them by yourself and let us escape? No, it's impossible. The brothers won't agree to that!"

Xing Jianzheng quickly shook his head and said that they could not accept at all to let them watch their captain risk his life to find a way for them to survive.

"We must accept it. There is still a glimmer of hope if we fight hard. If we don't do this, we will all die here. We must obey orders!"

Shadan's words were not to be disputed. He looked at the powerless Charizard in the air with an extremely firm gaze.

"team leader……"

Xing Jianzheng wanted to say something, but looking at Shadan's eyes, he knew that he had made up his mind and there was no way he could waver.

"I...I know."

With tears in his eyes, Xinjianzheng's voice was a little hoarse, but he knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he immediately turned around and told everyone Shadan's decision.

"What... The captain wants to... No, I won't leave. Even if I die, we must die together..."

The team members were all shocked when they heard this, but no one doubted Shadan's ability. They knew their captain and he would never speak without a purpose. He would definitely do what he said.

Shadan looked at the noisy team members, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Although they were young, they were all very sincere, much better than his class...

"Charizard, come back."

Shadan shouted softly, leaving him no time to hesitate, and Charizard immediately left the battlefield. Although it was covered with wounds, it was still very intimidating, standing beside Shadan like a battle-hardened general.

Shadan gently patted Charizard's sturdy body, his rough face full of tenderness.

Charizard is his first Pokémon, both his original Pokémon and his strongest partner. They have been together for more than 40 years and have experienced countless dangers and battles. They have already regarded each other as a part of their lives.

"I'm sorry, maybe if it weren't for me, your trainer, your life wouldn't be so hard."

Shadan said softly that the lifespan of elves is generally longer than that of humans. At least for Charizard, it should be in its prime at this time, but because of years of life and death, it has accumulated a lot of hidden injuries and has to rely on potions for long-term treatment.

"Ugh."

Charizard shook its head. It knew Shadan's heart knot and liked his behavior. It was his elf, it had been so before and it was so now, and it had never regretted it.

The flame on the tail burned more violently. Charizard stretched out his fist and tilted his head to look at Shadan. Shadan also smiled boldly, stretched out his hand and made a fist to touch it.

"Okay, brother, let's have a final fight today!"

After saying that, Shadan no longer hesitated. He reached into his pocket and took out a porcelain bottle, took out a pill, and gently handed it to Charizard. Without hesitation, Charizard swallowed the pill in one gulp.

This pill was obtained by Shadan from Sangji on the day when he picked up Lin. It is not a medicine to cure Charizard, but a secret medicine with great side effects. However, it can temporarily allow Charizard to attack without hesitation and improve its strength!

"Ouch!"

The Charizard, which had taken the medicine, roared, and a powerful heat wave rolled around, and the ice and snow on the ground began to slowly melt.

"What's going on? This Charizard has been promoted to the King!"

The boss looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Ugh."

The Charizard soars in the sky, the flame on its tail is as dazzling as the sun, it opens its mouth and spits out a huge fireball falling from the sky!
