Elves: Starting from Carlos

"Card!"

A golden fish surfaced.

Magikarp has a golden body and is very hard. It has two long catfish-like filaments growing around its mouth, and its dorsal and pelvic fins are shaped like crowns.

This…

"Golden Magikarp!" A cry of surprise pierced the sky.

At this moment, time seemed to stop. The three girls at the back couldn't help but exclaim. Their mouths opened wide enough to hold an egg. Shock and joy intertwined on their faces, as brilliant as the golden light.

Flashing...different colored Magikarp!

Mu Feng couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder he was so surprised. It turned out to be a Pokémon of a different color!

"How is it? Do you like it?" Shanze smiled with pride in his eyes. He spent nearly two months to catch this Magikarp.

"This is the first Pokémon I prepared for you~" Shanze put his hands on his hips, raised his head slightly, and showed his pride in an "I'm great" posture.

"Hey?"

"The first one?"

"Doesn't Mufeng have a Dragonite?"

The three girls were all confused. If this was the first one, then what about the Dragonite just now?

Hearing this, Shanze’s smile froze, his eyes widened, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

He looked at Mu Feng in surprise, "You went out traveling?!"

"Yes." Mu Feng's eyes curved, and after a pause, he continued, "However, Dragonite is not my Pokémon."

"Then you probably don't have your first Pokémon yet, right?!" He was eager to make Magikarp the first Pokémon of Woodwind, and seemed to have forgotten how a trainer could travel without Pokémon.

Old man, are you stupid?

In the quiet atmosphere, Mu Feng silently took out a half-shielded and half-translucent box from his dark coat. His movements were slow and firm, attracting everyone's curious gazes.

With every subtle movement he made, everyone's eyes followed the mysterious box. Finally, Mu Feng completed opening the small box and revealed the items inside.

In the upper left corner of the exquisite box, two shining badges lay quietly. Their unique designs and familiar patterns seemed to contain unknown secrets and glory.

Shanze's gaze froze instantly. Without saying anything, he recognized the deep memories and past hidden in these two badges.

"Okay." Shanze lowered his head and sighed deeply.

"Hey? What is this?" Liliae was puzzled. What was the meaning of these two badges?

The same goes for the other two. They live in Alola, so where have they ever seen Carlos' gym badge?

"This is the gym badge. It's the proof that the challenger gets after successfully defeating the gym leader," Yamazawa explained to them.

"Gym badge?!"

"So, Mufeng has defeated two gym leaders!"

“So awesome!”.

The three of them stared at the two small badges intently, with admiration and envy flashing in their eyes.

"Then this is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it." Shanze's tone was pleading, as he was worried that Mufeng would not be willing to accept this Magikarp.

Magikarp is a recognized weak Pokémon. Most of the League Tournament participants like Mufeng would not consider capturing it. Even if they did, they would only use it as a backup Pokémon. After all, they don't have the patience to wait for it to evolve into Gyarados.

Although the heterochromatic Pokémon is very attractive, this cannot change the fact that it is still a Magikarp and is weak.

"Okay, I'll take it." Mu Feng easily put the Magikarp into the Poké Ball, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

After all, it is a different-colored Pokémon, and even if it cannot evolve into a powerful Gyarados, it can still become a beautiful landscape in the home fish tank for people to appreciate.

Mu Feng glanced at his right leg inadvertently, and a complex look flashed across his eyes.

"Your injury couldn't be caused by this Magikarp?" Mu Feng frowned, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, revealing an unquestionable seriousness.

Shanze was stunned for a moment, his fingers unconsciously stroking the tip of his nose, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, looking a little guilty and unnatural.

"If grandpa refuses to tell the truth, then I don't want this Magikarp either." Mu Feng said in a firm tone, while slowly taking out the diving ball from his pocket.

"No! I said!" Shanze's heart tightened. Over the years, he had never given Mufeng anything. But this time, he absolutely did not want to see the child disappointed.

Hearing this, Mu Feng took back the Poké Ball in his hand.

He didn't want his family to hide anything from him, and he didn't want them to get hurt because of him.

According to Shanze, one month before Mufeng set out on his journey, Mufeng told his family that he would be traveling as a trainer in the near future. After he learned about this, he thought about giving Mufeng his first Pokémon. Through a friend's introduction, he learned that a golden Magikarp had appeared in a certain sea area in the Kanto region. He went to Kanto with a fishing rod, vowing to capture the golden Magikarp and give it to Mufeng. Just a few days ago, he caught the golden Magikarp, and on the way back he had an accident and broke his right leg.

Mu Feng frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't do this again in the future."

However, his expression changed in an instant, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile as warm as the sun bloomed on his face again.

His grandfather's kindness and love made him feel warm in his heart and he was deeply moved.

"Okay then, let's..." Shanze turned around and was about to walk towards home.

"Grandpa, let's have a battle." Mu Feng's voice interrupted what he was about to say. He looked at the vast ocean, with a trace of longing in his eyes.

The breeze blew across their cheeks and the sea water covered their heels, bringing a cool feeling to everyone.

Shanze paused and laughed dryly, "Grandpa doesn't know how to fight, so forget it."

"The last Water King of the Carlos League, known as the strongest king of the contemporary era, is said to be second only to the strongest king of the contemporary league champion." Mu Feng looked at him meaningfully with deep eyes and asked softly, "You know who I'm talking about, right?"

"King of Heaven?!"

Although everyone doesn’t understand gym badges, they understand the key words of the champion king.

"So you knew it."

Shanze smiled helplessly. He hadn't fought against a trainer for a long time since he quit his job as the King.

"Of course, I have seen your battle video!" Mu Feng said with a smile.

On the shore, there was an empty space between the grandfather and grandson. The two stood facing each other, looking at each other.

"Then let me be the referee."

Mao volunteered, confidently walking to the edge of the battle field, ready.

"Let's proceed..." She had only said a few words when she suddenly paused, turned to look at Mu Feng, and saw him making a "2" gesture.

"The following is a 2-on-2 sparring match. Each side can use two Pokémon. Pokémon can be changed freely during the battle. The match ends when all Pokémon of one side lose their combat ability."

"Then both sides please send out your Pokémon!"

"Moji~"

Mao solemnly and loudly announced the referee's words.

"This is my first one!" Shanze threw the diving ball in his hand, "Go, Gyarados!"

"Vulture!"

(The name is a little hard to find, so I'll just use it)

A white light flashed, and a long dragon appeared, and it immediately let out a long cry.

Gyarados has a blue upper part and a khaki lower part. It has three cyan horns pointing upwards on its head and a macro-shaped deck on its back. The female Gyarados has a white beard, but this is only a male, and its beard is blue.

"Is it just the trump card?" Mu Feng reached for the Poké Ball on the far left of his waist, took a look at it in his palm, and threw it out, "This is your first battle."

"Dian Dian?"

The white light dissipated, and the Photonic Flycatcher appeared on the opposite side of Gyarados.

Originally, Mu Feng wanted to let it serve as a "power bank" all the time, but seeing how hard it was training, he felt a little reluctant.
