Pokémon: From Magikarp

Time came to evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled deep into the woods, covering this silent world with a layer of golden veil.

Unlike usual, Lin Shi did not choose to leave this time, but found a flat and secluded place to set up camp.

This time, Lin Shi planned to explore as wide a range as possible. Otherwise, if he went back today, it would take a lot of time and energy to come here again tomorrow.

For this reason, Lin Shi even borrowed his father's supernatural powers to protect his own safety.

As the night deepens, the forest is like a sleeping giant, silent and solemn. The bonfire dances in the darkness like stars in the night sky.

Lin Shi took out the insect repellent spray and sprinkled it around the tent, which could protect him from being attacked by wild Pokémon.

After finishing all the work, Lin Shi sat down, took out his mobile phone to check the map and determine his location.

A day's trek brought him slowly closer to the center of the forest. Of course, this center only refers to the center of the Baishui Forest.

The levels of wild Pokémon began to gradually increase, and Pokémon above level 10 began to appear.

After confirming the location, he began to count today's harvest: 3 small mushrooms, 1 large mushroom, 2 pearls, and 200g of soft sand.

The harvest was pretty good. Except for the soft sand, which he planned to keep to help Pokémon cultivate ground energy, he planned to sell the rest. He estimated that the price of these things should be around ten thousand.

“Rustle…”

"What's that sound?" Lin Shi became alert. In the silent forest, even the slightest sound was very clear.

It sounds like the wind blowing the leaves, or like fish scales sliding across the water.

Lin Shi thought the sound would stop soon, but he found that it didn't. The sound continued. Fortunately, nothing else happened.

As the night was getting darker, he had no choice but to release his strange power. They each kept watch over each other for half the night, and spent the first night in the forest.

……

"Hmm? The sound seems to have stopped?"

When Lin Shi woke up early in the morning, he found that the sound from last night had disappeared.

According to Guai Li's description, it gradually disappeared when it was dawn.

Lin Shi frowned, he had never heard of such a thing, but he soon felt relieved. In the forest, especially a forest with Pokémon, it was normal to have some special phenomena.

After preparing food for Guai Li and the baby bear, Lin Shi walked to the stream not far from the base and released the Magikarp, intending to feed it some food as well.

"Puff." The golden fish jumped into the water, shaking its tail and creating ripples.

"Ok?"

He didn't know if it was Lin Shi's illusion, but he felt that Magikarp was a little weird today. But if he had to put his finger on it, he couldn't really put his finger on it. He just felt that its eyes weren't as wise as before.

"Boom."

Before Lin Shi could observe carefully, there was a sound in the water, and a fish Pokémon that was partially white, with red limbs and sharp horns on its head, jumped out of the water and hit the Magikarp.

Lin Shi recognized that it was a goldfish. It looked very angry and stared at the Magikarp with an angry look.

"Did you disturb its sleep?"

Lin Shi didn't understand, but he would not refuse a battle that was offered to him. It was a good opportunity for Magikarp to practice.

"The Carp King uses the whirlpool to trap the goldfish." Lin Shi commanded.

A water-blue light emanated from Magikarp's body. It opened its mouth and spit out a vortex of water that rushed towards the goldfish.

The horned goldfish was not to be outdone. It used its sharp horns to create a wave of water that collided with the whirlpool and stirred up a cloud of water mist.

Without waiting for the mist to dissipate, the horned goldfish immediately launched a new round of attack. The sharp horns on its head emitted a faint white light, and it flew at a very fast speed through the mist and crashed into the Magikarp.

"Magikarp, jump up quickly."

When the horn-collision skill of the horn goldfish was about to hit, the Magikarp jumped out of the water. This was also one of the advantages of Lin Shi's Magikarp. It jumped very high, but of course it was useless...

"Use impact like this."

With the help of the downward momentum, the impact of the Carp King was very powerful, and it seemed to hit the goldfish directly.

The horned goldfish that was knocked away did not give up the fight, and used its sharp horns to launch another water wave.

"Magikarp, tornado."

A blue dragon wave emerged from Magikarp, and the tornado skill was used. The blue tornado directly dispersed the water wave and hit the Magikarp.

"Ugh."

The goldfish was knocked far away and fell into the water. This time it did not choose to attack again, but dived into the water and left quickly.

"Well done Magikarp, you've made the most of the energy cubes you ate."

God knows how much effort Lin Shi put in to make Magikarp obey his orders. He used reason, emotion and food to make Magikarp what it is today. He even fed it plenty of expensive dragon energy blocks.

"Wow."

There was another splash on the water surface, and several wild carp swam to the surface.

"Hey? There are so many Magikarp here?"

Lin Shi was a little confused, as he felt that there were a lot more Magikarp in the water recently.

However, Lin Shi did not think much about it. After all, it was not his turn to control the infestation of wild Pokémon, so he decided to leave it to the Alliance to deal with it.

……

"Baby Bear uses Crack Tile."

"Yigu"

The fighting energy gathered in the baby bear's palm, and he swung it forward, hitting a Paras on the head.

"Good, Baby Bear is starting to get the hang of it."

Lin Shi was very satisfied when he saw the baby bear's still immature tile-splitting skills.

Both Tile Splitting and Cleave are powerful physical attack skills. The difference is that Cleave is a general skill while Tile Splitting is a fighting skill, but both have already transcended the stage of low-level skills.

Of course, the reason why Baby Bear was able to master it so quickly was also because Lin Shi asked Guai Li to help teach him.

It's a pity that the time is too short, otherwise Lin Shi also planned to let the strange force teach the baby bear farmer three punches...

Now, let’s practice one skill first.

"I picked another big mushroom." Lin Shi happily picked up a large red and white mushroom on the ground.

Then he took out a piece of rice ball from his backpack and handed it to Paras as a reward for its hard work in training. This is a kind of food that all Pokémon like to eat. Lin Shi specially bought some in case of emergency.

"Let's go, let's go to our destination."

Lin Shi opened the search panel again. A map was displayed on the panel. Two obvious points could be seen on the map. The yellow one represented Lin Shi's location, and the red one represented the location of the search target.

Lin Shi's target of search this time was the litchi tree that he had been thinking about. After getting close enough, the search panel finally determined its location.

……

Under the golden sunlight, the forest was filled with a faint fragrance of leaves, and the sunlight shone through the sparse leaves onto Lin Shi's face as he crawled forward.

"It's so hidden. Who can find it without the system?" Looking at the red dot that was already within reach, Lin Shi couldn't help but complain.

"It should be around here."

Lin Shi murmured, and moved more carefully. There couldn't be no Pokémon next to the fruit of this tree, and they must be Pokémon of high strength.

After walking for a while, Lin Shi's position was about to overlap with the fruit tree. Finally, under a big tree covered with vines, he successfully found his target - the litchi fruit tree.

Before Lin Shi could feel happy, his face suddenly turned ugly when he saw the huge creature hovering under the tree.

"The road to the enemy is narrow!"
