Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Uh-huh……"

Lin Shi left the meeting room contentedly, and couldn't help but humming when he thought of what had just happened in the meeting room.

Finally, he chose [Strong Fighting Power] without hesitation. With such a straightforward name, he really couldn't help but associate it with the exclusive skill of the One-Strike Martial Arts Bear Master - Dark Power Strike.

This kind of power will definitely be of great benefit to Apprentice Bear.

After Lin Shi made his choice, Mo Chen also gave Lin Shi the information about this natural power.

[Strong Fighting Force] appears in the Secret Realm of Lion City in Lion City, North China. Lion City is a well-known martial arts town in the Shenzhou region with a strong martial arts atmosphere.

The Lion City Secret Realm is a secret realm near the Lion City. It is also a relatively special secret realm in the Shenzhou area. A large number of fighting-type elves live in it, and even if they are not fighting-type elves, most of them are brave and fierce.

In the secret realm of Lion City, there is a place called Claw Hill. It is a high mountain divided into multiple levels and is also a natural fighting arena.

Every once in a while, Pokémon from all over the secret realm will gather here without any prior arrangement, and engage in offensive and defensive battles, constantly challenging the next level.

The Pokémon that can fight to the end and reach the top of the mountain will receive a strange "reward". This reward is what the Alliance named [Strong Fighting Power].

According to the Alliance's investigation, the strength of each elf that obtains this power will be greatly improved. Each of their attacks will become more powerful, making it easier to hit the enemy's vital points and kill the opponent with one blow!

At the same time, the Alliance also discovered that different elves seemed to have received different improvements. The Alliance had also gone through layers of tests, and the elves that had received this kind of "reward" had also received improvements, but there had not been earth-shaking changes.

The final conclusion is that this kind of elf is probably... inappropriate. The Alliance has not yet investigated the origin of this energy. It is speculated that it is some natural phenomenon, or an ability left behind by an extremely powerful elf.

In order to prevent illegal activities, the Alliance blocked the news and closed the Hill of Minions, allowing only wild Pokémon in the secret realm itself and people allowed by the Alliance to enter and participate in the challenge.

And now, Lin Shi is the person allowed by the league.

……

A few days passed in a flash. During these days, Lin Shi and the elves got plenty of rest time. Yu Nian's accident allowed him to advance directly to the quarterfinals, so his competition would have to wait until the other players' round of 16 were over.

In the past few days, the originally postponed competition has returned to the right track, the round of 16 continues, and the quarterfinals are newly announced.

In the upper half, the four players who qualified are Situ Lu, ranked first in the Central China region, Ye Junhao, ranked first in the East China region, Qin Liuying, ranked first in the Northwest region, and Lin Shi.

In the lower half, the four players who qualified are Huang Chenyu, ranked first in the North China region, Chen Yun from the South China region, Mo Caiyi, ranked first in the Southwest region, and Ye Junyue.

Lin Shi's next opponent was Qin Liuying.

"This excellent matching mechanism finally matched me with a female player. It's not easy."

Looking at the battle details list, Lin Shi smacked his lips and said.

Lin Shi had a deep impression of Qin Liuying. Her beauty was one thing, but the key was that she was always talking in a weird way all day long. As an expert in psychics, she seemed to be very keen on supernatural powers and often asked other contestants to... tell fortunes.

However, her strength is also very good. For the players who have entered the quarterfinals, it would be very difficult for Lin Shi to use the elves to fight against three of them, unless he lets the elves use their trump cards.

Time flies and the competition is in full swing.

After a long rest, Lin Shi finally returned to the battlefield. Looking at the huge crowds of spectators around him and the cheers like waves, it was really spectacular.

"Come on, Lin Shi!"

In the audience seats on Lin Shi's side, Li Taoyao and others were all present. Although she and Qiu Ning had been eliminated, they were still spectators and they still stayed in the audience seats.

"Nice to meet you again, Lin Shi."

On the other side of the battlefield, Qin Liuying was wearing a purple dress, with long black wavy hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was as white as snow. She looked at Lin Shi with smiling eyes and greeted him.

"Last night, I asked for divination for the outcome of today's match. The answer is not very ideal. I might lose today."

Listening to Qin Liuying's words, Lin Shi raised his eyebrows.

"Don't mention it. I think you are quite accurate."

"Cuckoo..."

Qin Liuying covered her mouth and continued to laugh, then looked at Lin Shi.

"Even so, there are no eternal laws in the world. Even the movement of stars can go wrong. So I don't think I will necessarily lose, and you won't necessarily win either!"

"Please give me more advice."

Lin Shi was stunned at first, then he smiled and nodded.

"Then please give me your guidance!"

"The two sides are in position, and the game officially begins!"

"Please both players summon the elves at the same time."

With the referee's wave, the quarter-finals officially begin!

"Boom."

The Poké Ball opened, and two Pokémon appeared on the battlefield. The one on Qin Liuying's side was an Pokémon that Lin Shi was quite familiar with. Its body was engraved with ancient patterns and was shaped like a bronze bell.

As soon as it appeared, the bronze bell's eyes emitted red light and made thunderous sounds, which was creepy.

"bass!"

Opposite to the bronze bell, the sword of the Shield Sword Monster was shaking rapidly, emitting a crisp sword sound. The sword sound and the bell sound intertwined and echoed on the battlefield.

"A shield sword monster..."

Qin Liuying was not surprised to see the elves Lin Shi called out. To deal with the bronze bell with steel + super power, the ghost-type shield sword monster was indeed a suitable choice.

"Bronze Bell, use hypnosis!"

As soon as the battle started, Qin Liuying seized the opportunity to take command. The red eyes of the bronze bell emitted light, and circles of ring-shaped ripples flew towards the shield sword monster.

"Aegisblade, dodge it and use Shadow Ball."

Lin Shi immediately gave orders, and the Shield Sword Monster transformed into the form of a sword, quickly flew up into the sky, avoiding the attack of hypnosis, and then dark ghost energy emerged from its body, and a huge sword blade several meters long flew towards the bronze bell.

"Bronze bell, gyro ball."

At the moment when it was about to hit, the bronze bell suddenly began to spin at high speed on the spot, emitting a metallic luster, like a metal gyroscope spinning in place, colliding with the sword energy, making a loud bang that tore through the air.

"Keep attacking, don't give it a chance, Shadow Ball."

Lin Shi continued to command. The shield sword monster was filled with dense shadow energy. Sword energy burst out one after another, slashing towards the bronze bell with a deadly aura...
