Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Where did this come from?"

"Is this still domestic?"

Lin Shi hugged his arms and tried hard to see the situation around him. He was also frightened by the sudden disappearance of Qiu Ning and Bai Shouli.

"Gyarados, come out."

Lin Shi took out the Poké Ball and released Gyarados without hesitation.

"Use Tornado to lift up the fog."

Lin Shi commanded that in the current situation, it would be better to dispel the annoying thick fog first.

"Ow."

Gyarados roared, and blue dragon energy erupted with it as the center. The air began to flow, and a tornado gradually rose with thick fog.

But even though Gyarados's tornado was so powerful, the thick fog in the sky seemed endless and showed no sign of dissipating.

"Can't it be blown away?"

Lin Shi felt a little solemn when he saw this scene.

"Eh? That's..."

Lin Shi noticed that not far from him, there was a black shadow floating in the air. It stretched out its hands and waved them back and forth, as if waving at him.

"Is this the ghost that the village is talking about?"

Lin Shi was a little skeptical, because the ghost in front of him couldn't be said to have nothing to do with humans, it could only be said to have a human form. It looked like a balloon with hands. If you had to say it, it was a bit like Geodude.

Lin Shi looked intently, but the thick fog prevented him from seeing the specific appearance of the ghost thing. In this case, Lin Shi's identification system could not work.

"Gyarados, use Tornado on that thing."

Lin Shi planned to let Gyarados test it out first to see how deep the thing was. At the same time, he could use the wind to temporarily blow away the fog in front of it so that he could see the thing clearly.

Hearing Lin Shi's order, Gyarados immediately used his skills, and a blue wind appeared instantly, blowing towards the opponent.

"call."

A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Shi saw the ghost figure swaying with the wind, as if it was really a balloon. Lin Shi looked carefully and just as he discovered something, the thing suddenly disappeared from the spot without a trace.

"that is……"

Lin Shi recalled what he had just seen. It was a somewhat hideous black ghost claw. It looked familiar and should be the hand of some Pokémon.

"what."

A sharp scream was suddenly heard, and Lin Shi quickly looked in the direction of the sound, but the thick fog obscured everything and he couldn't see clearly at all.

"The voice sounds so familiar, is it Qiu Ning?"

Lin Shi muttered to himself, frowning slightly, and felt a little tricky for a moment.

"Whoosh."

Just at this moment, a black shadow quickly floated past him, disappeared in a flash, and returned to the darkness.

Lin Shi called the baby bear out again and asked it to follow him and protect him at all times, while he himself looked around calmly.

"Whoosh."

Another dark shadow passed by.

"Gyarados, maximum range tornado, find that thing."

Lin Shi seized the opportunity and immediately ordered Gyarados to attack.

A huge storm rose up with several people as the center and spread rapidly in all directions, rolling up the thick fog all around. At the same time, the ghost-like figure was also attracted by the tornado and was swept into it uncontrollably.

Lin Shi looked up and this time he finally saw the guy clearly.

Recognize its identity without using the system forest.

"Is that Haunter?"

It was a purple Pokémon with a round body, a pair of hands separated from its body, triangular white eyes with black pupils, and it floated in the air like gas. It was actually a Haunter.

"Is this the culprit behind the strange things happening in the village?"

Lin Shi held his chin and thought carefully. Haunter is the evolved form of Gastly. There are indeed rumors that it can wave in the dark and curse humans. Or perhaps most ghost-type Pokémon are like this, which is why so few people use ghost-type Pokémon.

"what."

Just as Lin Shi was thinking, another shrill scream was heard, also a woman's voice.

The sound screamed past, and Lin Shi suddenly froze in place, carefully recalling the sound he heard for the first time.

"No, this scream belongs to Sister Qiu Ning."

"Whose voice was that the first time? Why does it sound familiar to me?"

The two screams were not too far apart, and Lin Shi easily noticed the difference between the two voices.

"Something must have happened to Sister Qiu Ning. I have to hurry over there."

Lin Shi was a little anxious. As he spoke, he looked at Haunter in the air and took out the Poké Ball to capture it.

"puff."

Just as he was about to take action, blue flames suddenly flew from a distance and collided violently with Gyarados's tornado, dissipating the tornado in an instant.

Are there any experts?

Lin Shi's heart trembled, and he looked around hurriedly. What happened just now was obviously a phosphorous fire skill, and it was incredibly powerful.

not good.

Lin Shi also realized something. Sure enough, when he looked up, Haunter had disappeared. It was dark and foggy, and it was impossible to find it in a short time.

Lin Shi's expression changed. He took a deep breath and decided to go find Qiu Ning first. He was a little worried about her safety.

"Ta-ta..."

Come again?

A burst of hurried footsteps came from behind Lin Shi. In the quiet night, the sound was so clear.

Lin Shi noticed that the footsteps were hurried and disorganized, as if someone was being chased by something and was running wildly without knowing where to go. As luck would have it, the direction they were running was exactly where he was.

Lin Shi was on full alert, Gyarados' eyes emitted a faint golden light, and there was flames on the palms of the baby bear. The man and his two pets looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.

"Meow."

Hmm? Cat's meow?

As the figure approached, Lin Shi heard a cat's meow.

Finally, the figure gradually became clear, and it was not difficult to tell from the hazy figure that it was a girl.

As the girl approached, Lin Shi slowly opened his eyes.

Meng Wan?

Why is she here?

Lin Shi recognized at a glance the girl who was running wildly with her eyes closed. It was Meng Wan. He found it a little unbelievable and wondered if he was hallucinating.

"Meng Wan, why are you here?"

Lin Shi shouted loudly tentatively.

Then he observed that after hearing his voice, Meng Wan not only did not stop, but raised her hands to cover her ears, and quickened her pace, trying to pass by Lin Shi.

“I can’t see…I can’t see…”

Meng Wan covered her ears and muttered softly, looking somewhat uneasy and frightened.

"Meow……"

Under her, the elegant cat was running with her. Unlike its unreliable owner, it did not close its eyes. When it saw Lin in front of it, it looked up to remind Meng Wan.

"Shh, Elegant Cat, don't make any noise."

"As long as you close your eyes, you won't see the scary things."

Meng Wan didn't even lower her head as she spoke softly to the elegant cat.

Looking at Meng Wan's cowardly look, Lin Shi felt that this should not be an illusion...

Seeing Meng Wan about to walk past him, Lin Shi grabbed her arm. No matter what, he had to ask her why she was here first. And if she walked around with her eyes closed like this, it would be strange if nothing happened...

"what……"

The shrill and sharp screams mercilessly attacked Lin Shi's eardrums. He covered his ears helplessly. At the same time, this also made Lin confirm that this was the first scream he heard...
