Pokémon: From Magikarp

Lin Shi had never encountered such a situation before, and he had never heard that elves would have a second stage.

But the Mengge Cactus that had obviously been knocked down stood up again, and the aura it exuded was even more powerful. The difference was that its eyes were emitting a faint purple light, making it look even more weird.

"Be careful, Circle Bear. There's something wrong with this guy."

There were slight ripples in Mengge Cactus's purple eyes, and his aura shook. He quickly approached the Circle Bear and then punched it.

Faced with the attack, Circle Bear did not dodge or evade but engaged in close combat with it.

Watching the confrontation between the two elves, Lin Shi felt more and more that the Mengge Cactus had become a little different. Not only had its strength been enhanced, but more importantly, its fighting skills had also made a qualitative leap.

You know, because of the unique habits of Pokémon like Dreamsong Cactus, their hunting method does not rely on their own fighting ability, which leads to their poor fighting skills. This can be clearly seen from its battle with Kugrim just now.

But it's different now.

"boom."

The two elves exchanged punches and then retreated.

"Yeah song."

The Mengge cactus screamed, and roots began to spread out from under its feet, sinking deeply into the ground. Then its body was covered with white light, and its size slowly grew huge, like a real desert cactus.

“Did you use Rooting and Growth?” Lin Shi recognized the skills.

"Not only has the fighting skill improved, but even the way of fighting has changed. It's a bit strange."

Lin Shi instantly became more interested in this secret realm. He wondered if all the elves in that secret realm were so strange.

Judging from the time, the people from the Security Bureau should be here soon, so Lin Shi planned to make a quick decision.

"Circle Bear uses bodybuilding."

Circle Bear uses the energy of fighting to stimulate its body and improve its attack and defense.

"Use Flaming Fist."

The Circle Bear kicked its legs and created cracks on the marble, quickly approaching the Mengge Cactus. Because of its roots, it had no way to dodge and could only endure it.

"Yeah song."

The thorns on the Mengge cactus quickly grew longer, and the sharp thorns glowed with a faint purple light, forming a thorn defense in front of it.

"Circle Bear, stop."

Lin Shi had to make it stop. The thorn defense of Mengge Cactus could not only defend against the opponent's attack, but also cause counter-injury. And from the purple light coming out of its thorns, Lin Shi also suspected that it had hidden the poison needle skill inside.

There is no need to let the Circle Bear take such a risk to attack.

"Just because you wrap yourself up like a turtle shell, you think I don't recognize you?"

"Bear uses Earthquake!"

At Lin Shi's command, Circle Bear roared and slammed the ground with its fists. The earth gradually cracked, and a violent earthquake wave surged towards Brother Meng's immortal palm.

The Mengge cactus was uprooted almost instantly and flew high into the air, with an extremely painful expression on its face. Obviously, this blow had caused it great damage.

"Circle Bear, Fire Fist, Ice Fist."

Lin Shi took advantage of the victory and pursued the opponent. Circle Bear jumped up, one hand was covered with frost and the other hand was burning with flames. The two energies intertwined with each other, and it hit the Mengge Cactus frantically, from the sky to the ground.

Afraid that Mengge Cactus would be resurrected this time, Lin Shi specially asked Circle Bear to give it a few more punches.

"Alright, that's enough. Someone might die soon."

Lin Shi summoned back Circle Bear and bumped fists with it to show his praise. Then he quickly came to the unconscious Mengge Cactus and carefully examined its body to see if he could find the cause of its abnormality.

After walking around it a few times, Lin Shi suddenly found something on the tip of the straw hat on the top of the Mengge Cactus. It was a piece of gravel, and he took a lot of effort to pick it off.

Lin Shi looked at it carefully and saw a purple crystal the size of a fingernail on the brown stone. The crystal was emitting a faint light, exactly the same as the light emitted from the eyes of the Mengge cactus just now.

"Lin Shi, is it done?"

Su Qimeng walked forward with Huang Qi, who was still a little scared. Huang Qi looked at Lin Shi with some fear. He didn't expect that under his gentle appearance, his fighting style was so fierce...

“Perfect solution.”

Lin Shi silently put the stone into his pocket, lifted his hair from his forehead and said to the two of them proudly.

"It seems that the Security Bureau has arrived..."

Lights flashed in the distance and alarms rang loudly.

……

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin. There have been too many things happening in the city recently. Not only here, but there have also been similar attacks by secret elves in other places."

A man in formal attire and looking resolute was praising Lin Shi.

"We finally managed to stop those elves. We are really exhausted. If it weren't for your help, who knows how much damage this Dream Song Cactus would have caused."

Lin Shi noticed that the security captain named Qin Yunfei looked a little tired and it seemed that he had not had a good rest for a long time.

"It's okay. Everyone knows that I'm a well-known enthusiastic citizen. To be honest, the banner for bravery is still hanging in my house."

Lin Shi shook his head and said complacently.

"By the way, you just said that you stopped those elves. Those elves, um...is there nothing strange about them?"

Lin Shi wanted to know whether the elves they encountered would also have a two-stage situation like the Mengge Cactus he encountered.

"Strange place?"

Qin Yunfei was stunned, then shook his head seriously.

"No, just a normal elf."

"Is this so..."

Lin Shi smacked his lips. It seemed that the Mengge cactus was a special case.

"No matter what, you have helped a lot this time. We, the Qinhuang City Security Bureau, will not give you any less in rewards..."

"Captain Qin, we don't have time to chat anymore. I heard that new elves appeared in the north, so they sent us there."

Before Qin Yunfei could finish his words, a guard who looked sloppy interrupted the conversation between the two.

Lin Shi's first impression of this man was that he was actually a security guard! Not only did he wear earrings, but he also had yellow hair. He looked more like a bad gangster than a security guard.

"This is Yu Zhikai, the captain of the second team of the Qinhuang Security Bureau. Just as you thought, he is not a good person."

Lin Shi:?

"You're still saying bad things about me in front of me? That's not good." Yu Zhikai put his hands together behind his head and walked forward with a heartless step.

"I just checked the Dream Song Cactus. It's at least an elite level. Did you kill it by yourself?"

Then he suddenly grabbed Lin Shi's arm, patted his shoulder in a familiar manner and said.

"You're quite capable. I heard you're still a student. Are you interested in working for me after graduation?"

"Captain Yu, please stop misleading our troops here. Didn't they say something happened in the north? Let's go over there quickly."

Qin Yunfei smiled, walked up and took Yu Zhikai away. Before leaving, he waved to Lin Shi.

"Hey, what are you doing? I haven't finished talking yet..."

Looking at the backs of the two of them walking away with their arms around each other's shoulders, Lin Shi had no idea whether the two of them had a good relationship...

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the gravel in his hand, wondering what he was thinking...
