Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Old Li, in a battle, it's normal to win or lose. Haven't you heard of a saying? Failure is the mother of success..."

On the training ground, Lin Shi was comforting Gyarados. It seemed that the defeat in the first battle had dealt it some blow.

"Also, although we lost this time, it was because we failed in the final combo. We can try again next time..."

Yes, in fact, the reason why Gyarados lost this time was not only because of the opponent's level crushing, but also because Gyarados's final Water Dragon Drill was not truly completed.

Combo skills are not simply about combining a bunch of skills together and throwing them out all at once.

If you want to make the skills cooperate with each other and achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, greater than three, or even greater than five, the elf's proficiency in mastering the skills and attributes is the key.

Under the circumstances at the time, the combination skills that Gyarados hastily used were simply a forceful fusion of 100,000 Volts and Water Dragon Drill. Although it increased the power of the skills, it was far from the effect that Lin Shi expected.

If we talk about it, the move at that time can only be called: Water Dragon Electric Drill·Fake.

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Gyarados regained some spirit, but in fact, with its mental state of making a leap forward, Lin Shi didn't have to worry about it feeling frustrated.

"Lin Shi, come here for a moment."

A clear and pleasant voice sounded behind Lin Shi.

Qiu Ning was calling Lin Shi from afar.

Hearing Qiu Ning's voice, Lin Shi turned around and walked towards her.

"What's wrong, Sister Qiu Ning?"

Although he had expected this in his heart, Lin Shi still asked seriously.

Qiu Ning squinted her eyes and smiled at Lin Shi.

"Congratulations, Lin Shi."

"The school agreed to your request."

Qiu Ning's words made Lin Shi feel relieved.

"You mean, the school has decided to let me train the quasi-god?"

Qiu Ning smiled and nodded, stroking his smooth chin and continued:

"That's not all. If you agree to enroll, the school is willing to open up its treasure house to you."

"School treasure trove?"

Lin Shi was stunned. This was a term he had never heard of.

Qiu Ning looked at Lin Shi with envy and explained:

"Northern University has been established for so many years, and each class has naturally accumulated many ownerless treasures. The value of many of these things is inestimable, and these things are accumulated in the school's treasury."

"I have worked diligently in school for so many years, but the results I have achieved are not enough to open the treasure house once. I really envy you."

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows.

“It sounds like a good idea.”

But he quickly looked at Qiu Ning and asked meaningfully:

"Why did the school suddenly give me such a big benefit? What did you do, Sister Qiu Ning?"

Lin Shi knew that if he hadn't fought for it at the beginning, he wouldn't even have the chance to become a quasi-god. Now, not only did he agree to let him choose a quasi-god, but he also offered him a spot in the treasure house that looked very good.

It goes without saying that Qiu Ning must have done something behind this.

"hey-hey……"

After hearing Lin Shi’s words, Qiu Ning laughed a few times.

"I didn't do anything. I just showed the video of our fight to the school."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin meaningfully and continued:

"I heard that even the old guys in the school were shocked..."

In fact, this is also Qiu Ning's selfish desire. You know, no one may know Lin Shi's true strength better than her. She is afraid that those guys in the school are too arrogant and don't pay enough attention to Lin Shi.

If they gave away a good talent like Lin Shi to someone else, they would regret it to death.

"So that's it."

Lin Shi suddenly realized, then looked at Qiu Ning and continued to ask:

"So Sister Qiu Ning?"

"We've already had the fight, now you can tell me what the school requires."

Lin Shi knew very well that since Northern University was willing to invest so much in him, he had to show corresponding results.

Qiu Ning smiled faintly.

"Of course, no problem. The school has put forward two conditions. The first one is that you become the champion of this year's Baishui City Pokémon Battle Assessment."

At this point, Qiu Ning glanced at the Gyarados who was training, smiled and said:

"It seems that this is no longer a problem for you."

Lin Shi asked without comment:

"What about the second rule?"

Speaking of this, Qiu Ning's face became slightly solemn. After thinking for a while, he said:

"The second condition is related to the White Mountain Secret Realm."

"The secret realm of Baishan?"

Lin Shi was a little confused. He didn't expect to be connected to it.

"Won't it be more than a year before it opens?"

"Yes."

Qiu Ning nodded to confirm Lin Shi’s question, and then said:

"Remember the Polaris base we destroyed a few months ago?"

Lin Shi nodded. This kind of thing was naturally still fresh in his memory.

"Although there is generally little communication between different bases in Polaris, this time is different. We actually got some information about other bases from the manager of the D9 base."

Qiu Ning's voice suddenly lowered, and it seemed that what he was about to say was not something that could be known to the public.

"According to D9 manager Liu Wangcai, they entered the Baishan Secret Realm as assistants when the Baishan Secret Realm first descended."

"Assistants? In other words, they were not the main personnel who entered the secret realm?"

Lin Shi immediately understood the meaning of Qiu Ning's words.

"So, there is a higher level, at least the North Star Organization that can command D-level bases? And they were in Baishan City not long ago and entered the Baishan Secret Realm?"

Lin Shi realized the seriousness of the problem, which was equivalent to placing a time bomb in Baishan City.

"You are right. Although we don't know their specific purpose for entering the secret realm, according to Liu Wangcai, their last action was not successful."

Qiu Ning affirmed Lin Shi’s words and then looked at Lin Shi.

"So, according to the alliance's speculation, after the next secret realm is opened, there is a high possibility that the people from Polaris will make a comeback."

"So the school hopes that after you get the quota and enter the White Mountain Secret Realm, in addition to looking for Arcanine, you will also try your best to help the alliance and the school investigate the whereabouts and purpose of the Polaris Organization, and help eliminate Polaris when necessary."

Qiu Ning slowly stated the second condition of Northern University. It was more of a request to Lin Shi than a condition. After all, according to Qiu Ning, Lin Shi had already obtained the elf and was successfully enrolled at that time.

"Lin Shi, you should know that it is very difficult to get a chance to enter an elite secret realm like the White Mountain Secret Realm. The school will not break its promise to you, but the school also hopes that you can help eliminate the North Star."

"Although it is a little dangerous, I hope you can consider it carefully."

Qiu Ning looked solemn and spoke to Lin Shi seriously.

"Sister Qiu Ning, you don't have to be like this. I didn't intend to refuse."

Lin Shi smiled and immediately replied to Qiu Ning.

"Everyone in the alliance has the right to punish evildoers like Polaris. I grew up under the red flag, so I have some awareness of this."

and……

Lin Shi did not say these words.

He felt that it was not right that the North Star appeared inexplicably in the secret realm, and he vaguely felt that it might be related to the legendary Pokémon.

You know, besides a bear apprentice, there is also Cresselia who left feathers there. Even the volcanic forest doesn't seem that simple...

"I still have to go and see it with my own eyes..."

Lin Shi said silently.
