Pokémon: From Magikarp

The third day of the opening of the Baishan Secret Realm.

The sky began to brighten, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness and shone onto Lin Shi's face, causing him to open his eyes slightly.

"what……"

Lin Shi yawned and patted the Gyarados he was riding.

"Alright Gyarados, stop and take a break."

After leaving the temporary base of the Reclamation Team, Lin Shi rode Gyarados all the way to the Devil's Volcano.

He was so tired after a busy day that he fell asleep on Gyarados's back without realizing it.

Lin Shi stretched out after landing on the ground, feeling refreshed. Now he could be completely sure that he would not be troubled by insomnia, but he had no idea why.

After flying all night, Lin Shi thoughtfully prepared breakfast for Gyarados and called other Pokémon to join in.

Now he has left the forest and is standing on a piece of wasteland between the forest and the volcano. It is surrounded by scattered black stones and looks extremely desolate.

After confirming the location of the volcano, Lin Shi estimated that they should be able to reach the outskirts of the volcano by noon.

"Apprentice Bear, this is your food. Does it feel okay?"

Because he had prepared early in the morning, Lin Shi placed a lot of special Pokémon food on the other side of the Super Magic Ring.

For example, the food that Apprentice Bear is eating now is a special food containing lychee fruit ingredients, and it is also mixed with a lot of food ingredients that bear elves like. It is specially prepared by Lin Shi for Circle Bear, but it should be suitable for Apprentice Bear as well.

Apprentice Bear picked up a brown food in front of him, subconsciously moved closer to sniff it, and seeing Circle Bear next to him eating it in big mouthfuls, he carefully put it into his mouth.

Apprentice Bear: (???????)?*.

Feeling that the taste was good, Apprentice Bear's eyes lit up and he immediately started to eat it with relish. His two little hands quickly tossed the food around and kept putting it into his mouth, and his little belly slowly bulged up.

Seeing the appearance of his disciple Xiong, Lin Shi smiled and thought he looked pretty good.

After finishing his meal, Lin Shi collected all the elves as usual, leaving only the Shieldsword and Neftina outside. He flew up on his sword again and headed towards the volcano.

Soon, as the temperature rose higher and higher, the black volcano that was crawling on the ground like a giant beast became larger and larger in Lin Shi's vision.

"Are there any elves here?"

From a distance, Lin Shi saw an orange-red elf flying around on the barren rocky beach like a headless fly, looking a little anxious.

Lin Shi flew over and lowered his altitude, and found that this elf was a fire-breathing camel. There were two volcano-like humps on its back that rose high, and it seemed that magma was surging inside.

When it discovered Lin Shi coming over, it seemed to be frightened and instantly burst into a fierce flame.

Neftina made a move instantly, and an invisible spiritual power formed a shield in front of Lin Shi, which bounced the flames away and dissipated them. Lin Shi looked at the fire-breathing camel calmly. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Lin Shi was stunned.

Pokémon identification: Charmeleon, a fire-breathing Pokémon, is the evolved form of Charmeleon. When it gets angry, it will spew hot lava from the hump on its back. It has its home in the crater.

ps: 1. This is a Pokémon that contains the power of lava.

2. For unknown reasons, its characteristics changed and it became restless due to lack of sleep.

and many more!

Can't sleep?

The characteristic of this fire-breathing camel is that it can’t sleep!

How can it be?

The three characteristics of the Fire Camel should be the lava armor that cannot be frozen, the hard rock that weakens the power of attacks with great effect, and the anger points that increase the attack when hit in the vital parts.

There is absolutely no such characteristic as sleeplessness.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shi fell into deep thought, thinking of the insomnia of the humans and elves in the forest last night.

A bold idea appeared in Lin Shi's mind.

Could this characteristic be the reason why all the people and elves in the secret realm started to suffer from insomnia?

"So that's how it is." Lin Shi said to himself.

No wonder the elves' hypnosis skills have no effect, and no wonder the elves that enter the elf ball are not affected. It turns out that it is because their characteristics have been changed.

Recalling that when he was investigating the symptoms of the insomnia elves last night, he didn't seem to notice any changes in their characteristics, but that might just be because the effect was not obvious enough and the characteristics had not been completely changed.

But at the same time, Lin Shi frowned again, and a strong sense of weirdness involuntarily surged into his heart.

Do humans also have characteristics?

Lin Shi thought carefully, it is innate for elves to have characteristics. Even the weakest elves have their own characteristics, but humans should not have the so-called characteristics.

This is the unanimous opinion of everyone in this world, and the most powerful proof is that humans will not be affected by the characteristics of elves!

For example, although people may feel scared or even lose their fighting spirit due to the intimidation feature, their "attack power" will not be reduced, because people do not have such a thing as "attack power".

For another example, even if a person is hit by a simple beam of light, the person's characteristics will not become "simple", because only creatures with characteristics will have their characteristics change, and if there are no characteristics, then naturally they cannot change.

But now it seems that humans have lost the ability to sleep because they have the characteristic of being insomniac?

"Is that outrageous?"

Lin Shi pinched his brows.

But he felt that this possibility was not small. Although Pokémon with the insomnia trait would not completely lose sleep, that was because they could freely control this trait on their own.

But humans don't have this ability. In other words, others have active skills, while humans have passive skills. Once they become insomniacs, they can only endure the effects of the characteristics.

Another condition that makes Lin Shi think that this is the reason why everyone suffers from insomnia is that the two characteristics of "insomnia" and "simplicity" have one thing in common.

They can all use the skills used by certain elves to change other elves into these two characteristics, just like the simple beam of the "simplicity" characteristic, and the skill corresponding to the "sleepless" characteristic is the seed of trouble!

The elves hit by the seeds of trouble will become sleepless for a period of time.

"Huh, interesting..."

Lin Shi took a deep breath. Although he didn't know the truth of the matter, if what he speculated was true.

Then there is only one person or organization that can do such a thing - Polaris!

Lin Shi guessed that this should be another research result of a base under the North Star, and the purpose of their doing so was not difficult to guess.

This must be to force the pioneering team and force its team members to leave the Baishan Secret Realm due to sleep problems, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity.

Lin Shi narrowed his eyes. Polaris must have a big plan for making such elaborate preparations. And according to what Qiu Ning said, the closer you are to the volcano, the more serious your insomnia will be...

Then it is very likely that the people of Polaris are also in the volcano now!

At this moment, Lin Shi couldn't help but think of what Wei Qixing said when he gave him the thing, and clenched his hand.

No matter what kind of monster it is, I want to see it for myself!
