Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Snapped."

The Poké Ball opened, and a black flower appeared on Lin Shi's palm, swaying quietly.

Li Taoyao opened her eyes with great effort and saw Lin Shi holding a strange flower, wanting to do something.

"call……"

Lin Shi was a little discouraged. He tried for a long time, but the Flower of Eternity was still like an ordinary flower and had no reaction at all. He thought he had to wait for it to wake up completely.

"Lin Shi."

Li Taoyao's weak voice came, Lin Shi looked down and saw that Li Taoyao opened her eyes and looked at him.

"how do you feel?"

Li Taoyao forced a smile and said playfully.

"Not very good, it feels like it's just a last gasp now."

Lin Shi's mouth twitched and he said unhappily.

"You still have the mood to talk about this, then it seems that you can still hold on. We should hurry back."

Lin Shi planned to go find Sang Ji. Although the old man was a little weird, his medical skills were indeed excellent and maybe he could find a solution.

After saying that, Lin Shi planned to pick up Li Taoyao.

"Wait a minute, take a rest here. You're paler than me, don't fall down. And I..."

As he spoke, Li Taoyao tried to move his legs and sighed.

"I have lost all feeling in my legs."

Lin Shi also looked down at her legs carefully. At this moment, Li Taoyao's slender and round thighs were covered with a layer of solid ice, and the ice was still spreading upwards.

"I can feel that this cold outbreak is very severe. I may be frozen into an ice cube soon."

Li Taoyao's tone was deliberately casual.

"So, stop struggling and take a good rest here."

Seeing Li Taoyao, who looked disillusioned with the world and resigned to her fate, Lin Shi frowned.

"So, when you came here, you didn't expect this situation to happen? You didn't prepare anything?"

"how come?"

Li Taoyao weakly stretched her hand out of her clothes and took out a pendant.

"I also brought an amulet."

Lin Shi was stunned when he heard this. He said he wanted to ask Li Taoyao if he had any backup plan to deal with the outbreak of cold air. What did the amulet mean?

Can you pray immediately when something happens?

Seeing Lin Shi's expression, Li Taoyao felt a little funny. He chuckled and put the pendant in Lin Shi's hand. Only then did he notice that the material of this amulet was neither gold nor jade, but closer to metal.

"This amulet was specially prepared for me by my mother after the last accident. She said it was specially made and can also suppress the ice power in my body."

"In fact, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until you came to save me. I also didn't expect that the two cold air explosions would be so close in time and so intense."

Li Taoyao stretched out her hands and put them around Lin Shi's waist. Lin Shi's body stiffened slightly and he didn't say anything.

"Now that this pendant has lost its power, I will give it to you. I hope it will bring you good luck."

"hiss……"

When Li Taoyao came, the ice on her body continued to rise, and now it had reached above her knees, completely freezing her calves.

But Li Taoyao seemed not to feel it and continued to talk to herself, looking at Lin Shi with her blue-white eyes.

"Actually, it's good to die like this. I thought I would be buried in the snow and might not be dug out until hundreds or thousands of years later. Now at least someone is collecting my body."

As she spoke, Li Taoyao winked at Lin Shi.

"You may not believe it, but today is the happiest day of my life. Ever since I was born, the ice energy in my body has been like the god of death's scythe, hanging over my head."

"Maybe one day, when I am living an ordinary life, eating, reading, playing with the Nine-Tailed Fox, or sleeping, the sickle will suddenly fall."

"So I live very cautiously. My mother doesn't let me go out casually or have excessive contact with others."

Li Taoyao looked a little gloomy.

"I don't blame my mother. I know she is doing this for my own good. I also know that the ice power in my body is a threat not only to me, but also to the people around me."

"So, I fell in love with music. Music with vitality made me feel less lonely. Unfortunately, I haven't created my own music yet..."

Li Taoyao muttered to herself as the ice continued to spread upwards, this time covering even her thighs. Lin Shi tried to knock it, and the ice was very strange. After it was melted using the flame of the ancient jade fish, new ice power would follow and continue to freeze her.

"Lin Shi, thank you so much for today. You know, when we flew over the canyon, passed through the snow waterfall, and dodged the icicles, my joy was genuine, because it was exactly the same as the adventure I dreamed of..."

"And you know what..."

Li Taoyao glanced at Lin Shi secretly with a weak smile and a strange light in her pupils.

"That sword fight you just had with the Snowstorm Horse was really cool!"

Looking at Li Taoyao, who had a relieved look on her face and was reciting a story, Lin Shi also felt a little unreal.

Less than half a day ago, an elder died in front of him with such ease, and was buried under the ancient tree. Now, it was going to happen again...

"Don't talk for now. I'll try to melt the ice."

As Lin Shi spoke, he tightly grasped the Jade of Disaster. The sleeping ancient jade fish seemed to have sensed Lin Shi's mood, and a ball of blue flame attached to Lin Shi's hand.

Lin Shi slowly moved his hand closer to the ice on Li Taoyao's body. The blue flame and the ice were fighting fiercely. Soon, the strange ice began to melt gradually.

But before Lin Shi could be happy, an even more intense chill came from Li Taoyao's body. This time the chill was even more fierce, and it almost instantly suppressed the legendary fire of the ancient jade fish.

Not only that, as if provoked, the coldness this time was particularly violent, and the speed of condensation increased greatly. In an instant, it covered Li Taoyao's waist and was still spreading upwards.

Seeing this, Lin Shi immediately extinguished the fire, which slowed down the condensation of the ice. However, even so, it had already covered most of Li Taoyao's body.

Cold sweat rolled down Lin Shi's forehead, his brain was working rapidly, but he found that he seemed helpless...

"Okay, stop struggling and talk to me."

Li Taoyao spoke in a weak voice as she wiped the sweat off Lin Shi's forehead.

"Otherwise, if no one listens to my last words, I will die with regrets."

The ice continued to spread faster and faster, and it had already covered Li Taoyao's chest. Her arms were no longer flexible and became extremely stiff, like a puppet.

"Apologize to mom for me. I didn't listen to her. And Xiaowan, I sneaked out without her knowledge. She must be very worried."

"And Xiaoge and Qimeng, I promised to invite them to the concerts in the future... and... and you, Lin Shi, I..."

"I……"

Li Taoyao wanted to say something else, but the ice had already reached her neck. The intense coldness hit her brain, and her thoughts gradually became confused, making her unable to say the last words.

"Li Taoyao, hold on a little longer."

"Method, method, method..."

Lin Shi hugged Li Taoyao tightly, muttering to himself. Ideas came to his mind one after another, but were quickly rejected by him. He became more and more anxious, but what else could he do in this remote and secluded snowy mountain?

At this moment, he saw the amulet given to him by Li Taoyao in his hand. His body suddenly paused and many voices flooded into his mind.

"...When I woke up again, I didn't feel cold at all. I opened my eyes and saw the brilliant peach blossoms all over the mountains..."

"...Taoyao also experienced several times when the cold energy got out of control, and she relied on these petals to suppress it..."

"…This is a sleeping Pokémon that hides powerful energy, but it needs an opportunity to fully blossom…"

"…If you want to revive the Eternal Flower, you need to find the [Flower]…"

……

"Opportunity, [Flower], opportunity, [Flower]..."

Lin Shi suddenly thought of something and kept talking. His eyes flashed and he smashed the amulet in his hand heavily.

"Snapped."

The amulet shattered, and it turned out that the metal was just an empty shell on the outside. Inside it, a dim pink peach blossom petal was lying there quietly.

At the same time, the Eternal Flower beside it suddenly burst out with a strong light...
