Pokémon: From Magikarp

Deep in the snow-capped mountains, in a sea of ​​flowers, the breeze blew the fragrance of flowers onto Shadan's face, making his gray hair even more messy.

"The Flower of Eternity is also known as the Flower of Ominous Omen. The black flower in its hand contains terrifying power. It was mentioned in the legend of Kunlun that the flower contains the secret of infinity and eternal life."

Shadan's words made Lin Shi's heart tremble. He remembered what Xia Qi said before he died. Now it seems that it was not just a lie before death.

"Kunlun's elixir of life..."

Lin Shi murmured softly and continued to look at Shadan. He saw that he was leaning against the tree trunk with his head raised high. His cloudy eyes looked at the crown of the ancient tree, as if he was lost in memories.

"We all know that this is a matter of great importance. The power of the Eternal Flower is special. Once it is possessed by someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So our captain secretly took it away and hid it without telling anyone."

"But even so, it still couldn't stop people's greed. In order to get this legendary eternal flower, Xia Qi actually chose to cooperate with the poaching gang, resulting in the death of almost all forest rangers. I was the only one who survived by chance."

"But Xia Qi still miscalculated. His carefully planned plan still failed to get the location of the Eternal Flower from the captain. The army intervened and carried out a thorough cleanup of the entire Kunlun Mountains. Xia Qi had no choice but to flee in panic."

"Hmm... cough."

As he spoke, Shadan started coughing violently again, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. However, he ignored it and just sped up his speech again.

"At that time, we discovered that the bud of the Eternal Flower was still green. It would take a long time for it to fully bloom. According to the records in ancient books, it would take at least forty years. So, Xia Qi chose this time to make a comeback."

After saying that, Shadan struggled to stand up and looked at Lin Shi with sharp eyes.

"I am the only one who knows where the Eternal Flower is. This is the captain's last wish to me before he died. I must not let it be obtained by Xia Qi."

"Lin Shi, now I want you to find the Eternal Flower and then conquer it!"

"Subdue the Eternal Flower?"

Lin Shi was stunned by the development of the situation.

"That's right." Shadan nodded, his tone becoming more determined.

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, and you are always lazy and undisciplined, I can see that you have your own bottom line, and your love for the elves is also from the heart. The Eternal Flower will not become a tool to destroy humans and elves in your hands."

"and……"

Shadan paused and looked up at the sky, at the golden divine fish floating above Lin Shi's head, with his heart in turmoil.

He had been working as a caregiver for such a long time that he thought he had a lot of knowledge and was familiar with all kinds of elves, no matter how rare or powerful they were. However, the power of this elf was completely beyond his understanding. He guessed that it might be the legendary beast!

"With such a spirit, you can protect the Eternal Flower. Only then can I safely hand it over to you. Are you willing, boy?"

After saying that, Shadan covered his chest and looked at Lin Shi silently, waiting for his reply, but Lin Shi didn't seem to think much about it, and without any hesitation, he smiled and said:

"I understand. Since you have entrusted your orphan to me, I will tame this eternal flower as a way of repaying you for your care during this period of time."

"Ah……"

After hearing Lin Shi’s words, Shadan finally smiled. He knew that he had agreed and that he was willing to take on this responsibility that did not belong to him.

But even though he was happy, Shadan still warned Lin Shi seriously:

"Xia Qi's preparations over the years were not in vain. After he escaped, he left Shenzhou and later seemed to have joined a very powerful organization."

"Just now he said that he could know the location of the Eternal Flower even without me. This should not be a random statement. After you have conquered the Eternal Flower, you must be extremely careful."

"Although Xia Qi is dead, the organization behind him is still there. I don't know the specific situation of that organization, but judging from Xia Qi's strength, it must be extremely terrifying. Even this poaching gang is just a small branch of it."

Lin Shi nodded. He had some guesses about Xia Qi's identity and was naturally mentally prepared.

"I see. You should talk about the Eternal Flower first. If I'm not mistaken, the reason you took so much trouble to ask me to bring you back here is not because of the good Feng Shui here."

"So, the legendary eternal flower..."

Lin Shi turned around and looked at the endless sea of ​​flowers.

"Right here, huh?"

"Woo... cough... you are really smart." Shadan smiled and followed Lin Shi's gaze towards the sea of ​​flowers.

"The captain told me that it placed the Eternal Flower in this sea of ​​flowers, and soon discovered that the Eternal Flower changed. It can freely change its appearance and become the appearance of any flower to disguise itself."

"That is to say, any one of the millions of flowers within your sight could be the incarnation of the Flower of Eternity."

"It will randomly appear in every cluster of flowers, and only when you actually pick it will it return to its original appearance."

"And you can't destroy them wantonly. The eternal flower that hasn't bloomed yet is very fragile. If you're not careful, it will wither. So, after I die, you need to pick them one by one in this sea of ​​flowers until you find the eternal flower."

Shadan leaned against the tree again and looked up. He didn't have much time left. He could feel his body getting weaker and weaker. It was impossible for him to see the scene of Lin Shi finding the eternal flower with his own hands.

"I know it's a big project, but you have to do it, I believe..."

"Sorry, I don't have the patience..."

Lin Shi's brisk words came, and then continued:

"Captain Shadan, you must want to take another look at the Eternal Flower. After all, it is something you have guarded for a lifetime."

"What……"

Before Shadan could react, he saw Lin Shi walking towards the sea of ​​flowers step by step. The flowers in front of him were pushed aside by his superpower to form a path.

Lin Shi walked on the road with his eyes fixed on the flowers, passing by one bright flower after another, but he never took a second look at them. Finally, he stopped in front of an exceptionally gorgeous white flower.

It was a small white flower shining with light, with dewdrops on it, as pure and flawless as a girl in a white dress in the wind.

Lin Shi smiled, slowly bent down, touched the white petals, and then gently picked them up.

The next second, petals flew up all over the sky, clustering together in the air. In this colorful and gorgeous cluster of flowers, a red and black light slowly shone...
