Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Fog is usually caused by the supersaturation of water vapor in the air, which condenses to form tiny water droplets or ice crystals."

"The northern region is affected by the monsoon and topography, which makes humidity and temperature change easily, which is conducive to the formation of fog."

On a foggy mountain road, a young man in mountaineering gear was explaining knowledge about fog to the girl next to him.

This is a remote mountain village in Baishan City, on the outskirts of Misty Village.

The village is shrouded in fog all year round, especially in winter and spring, when the fog is so thick that visibility is extremely low.

"The Misty Village should be ahead."

This young man was naturally Lin Shi. He wiped his forehead, which was covered with sweat or mist, stepped on the stones, looked at the village not far away, and spoke.

In the heavy fog, the outline of the village became blurred, and the houses, trees and hills in the distance were shrouded in fog, looking hazy and mysterious.

"finally reached."

The girl stretched, revealing her perfect and enchanting curves.

"Be alert, let's go into the village."

"Okay, Sister Qiu Ning."

Lin Shi made an OK gesture, and the two of them identified the direction and prepared to enter the village.

Nearly two months had passed since the Spring Festival. As a senior high school student, Lin Shi welcomed the start of school early, but just like last semester, he only went to school once every few days. But no one cared about him.

This time he skipped classes again and came to this remote misty village with Qiu Ning, but their purpose was certainly not to go on a picnic.

This can be traced back to the conversation between Lin Shi and Qiu Ning on the Spring Festival, when Qiu Ning proposed the idea of ​​taking Lin Shi with him to complete the mission.

However, Lin Shi always thought that Qiu Ning was just talking, but he didn't expect that after a while, Qiu Ning actually found him and invited him to do the mission together.

Lin Shi naturally planned to refuse, and was very determined. It was his consistent belief to reject all unnecessary suicidal behaviors... until he heard information and clues about the mission from Qiu Ning.

Due to geographical reasons, Misty Village is shrouded in fog all year round. In addition, with economic development, more young people choose to work outside and settle down outside. Over time, the number of residents in Misty Village has become fewer and fewer.

But some time ago, several strange things suddenly happened in this sparsely populated village.

First, one night, several villagers claimed that they saw someone waving at them in the fog, but when they walked over, they found that the place was empty.

At first, people just thought they had seen it wrong, but as more and more people encountered this kind of thing, the villagers had to take it seriously. For a time, people were in a panic and rumors that the village was haunted spread like wildfire.

A few brave villagers discussed going together to uncover the true identity of the "ghost", but they all disappeared that night and were not found until the next day in the woods outside the village. Although they were just unconscious, no one remembered what happened at night.

After this incident, more villagers believed the rumors that there were ghosts in the village. Because the matter was of great importance, the villagers chose to call the police.

The Security Bureau quickly arranged personnel to enter the village to investigate, but strangely, since the police officers entered the village, they investigated for several nights in a row, but no such incident happened again, and the "ghost" disappeared without a trace.

There was no way out, the matter had to be left unresolved. The police officers returned to the police station and peace returned to the village.

When the villagers thought that the incident was over and they could return to normal life, on a foggy night, another villager saw the waving ghost.

But unlike before, the ghost was accompanied by a soul-stirring bell sound. The bell sounded from somewhere far away, and the sound was loud and solemn, spreading throughout the village in an instant.

After that, villagers would occasionally see a waving ghost, and every time they saw the ghost, the sound of the bell would appear as well.

"Lin Shi, what do you think about this matter?"

The two slowly approached the village, and Qiu Ning asked Lin Shi for his opinion.

"There are no such things as gods or ghosts. From the description, it is most likely caused by ghost-type elves."

Lin Shi curled his lips and said without hesitation.

Thick fog, ghostly shadows, waving hands, bell sounds, so many horror elements are there. If this is not a made-up story, it is most likely caused by the skills of the elves.

And if Lin Shi hadn't felt that there were ghost-type elves lurking around, he wouldn't have agreed to let Qiu Ning participate in this mission.

Qiu Ning nodded at Lin Shi’s words. This was consistent with her idea. In a world with Pokémon, all supernatural behaviors could be attributed to Pokémon.

But precisely because of this, we have to be more careful. Compared to ghosts, Pokémon may be more terrifying. Countless people are killed every year due to attacks by wild Pokémon. They possess powerful powers and can sometimes bring unimaginable dangers to humans, even if it is not intentional.

This time, Qiu Ning’s task was to find a way to investigate the truth of the matter and help Misty Village resolve the matter to the best of his ability.

Soon, as the sun rose high, the thick fog slowly dissipated, and the two people walked into the small village.

There are not many houses in the whole village, most of which are brick bungalows. The walls of many houses are covered with moss, and it is obvious that no one has lived there for a long time.

Not long after entering the village, I saw an old man carrying a hoe who was about to leave the village. When he saw Lin Shi and his companion coming towards him, he took the initiative to walk over.

"Wa, are you guys here to look for ghosts in the village too?"

Qiu Ning: "Looking for a ghost?"

Lin Shi: “Yes?”

They both asked the question at the same time.

The old man nodded and continued:

"Yeah, this morning, shortly after dawn, two kids who looked about your age came and said they were looking for some ghost..."

Lin Shi and Qiu Ning looked at each other.

"What's going on? Is there anyone else investigating this matter besides us?"

"Could it be someone from the Alliance?"

Qiu Ning said with a frown.

Lin Shi didn't say anything. He was more worried that these people were the same as him, coming here to subdue ghost-type elves...

"Uncle, we are here to investigate the haunted incident in the village. Can you tell us about it?"

Qiu Ning looked like a good girl and spoke in a sweet voice.

"No way, no way..."

The old man shook his head like a rattle.

"I have to go to the fields before the sun sets, otherwise I won't be able to go out after dark."

"If you want to ask anything, go to the first house at the east end of the village. That's the village chief's house. He knows everything."

The old man pointed in a direction and then hurried out of the village. He walked quickly and looked a little anxious.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Lin Shi felt that the rumors in the village were probably true.

"Let's go. Since the master has said so, let's go to the village chief's house and ask about the situation."

Lin Shi suggested to Qiu Ning beside him.

Qiu Ning had no objection, and the two of them walked side by side towards the village.
