Elf: I'm the only one who understands Pokémon

"A duck fell into the water~ fell into the water~ fell into the water~"

Fang Zhu hummed a tune happily as he walked back to the apartment.

The town is not small, but it is common to encounter this kind of thing, like now.

"Hello, Teacher Fang!" Du Lei, who was approaching, greeted Fang Zhu politely, and Fang Zhu also stopped.

"It's Du Lei, where are you going?"

"I want to go to the north gate and have a look. I'm going to buy a Magikarp."

Du Lei said, suddenly remembering something, his eyes lit up: "By the way! Teacher Fang! You know so much about Pokémon, you should also be able to distinguish the level of Magikarp's qualifications, right?"

Perhaps because he was used to it when doing business, Fang Zhu subconsciously replied: "Of course, it's an ancestral craft. It's a matter of seeing it for sure."

After Fang Zhu finished speaking, he realized that he had just told them in class in the morning that they should focus on cultivating their own Pokémon first and not blindly pursue Gyarados. Why did this kid come over to buy Magikarp in the blink of an eye?

"Shall we go sit next to you first?"

Fang Zhu said to Du Lei, while taking out a can of soda from the microcapsule and handing it to him.

"Didn't I tell you this morning not to blindly pursue Gyarados? First, focus on your existing Pokémon. Can you tell me why you want to buy Magikarp? If it's just to become stronger, tell me What is your initial elf? I'll give you some tips, maybe it won't be weaker than Gyarados."

Du Lei scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at the sky with a trace of nostalgia on his face: "My initial Pokémon was a Proud Swallow. At that time, it liked flying outside and didn't like to stay in the Poké Ball."

Fang Zhu listened and nodded. It's not necessarily a bad thing for Pokémon that don't like to play around with Poké Balls, such as a certain Pikachu that is too strong.

Du Lei continued: "I think it yearns for the sky and freedom, and it shouldn't be trapped in my Poké Ball. So I quietly released it on the balcony while my parents were away, which gave it real freedom. .Because of this matter, my parents have been talking about me for a long time."

"puff--"

The twist in the story caught Fang Zhu off guard, and he spurted out the soda in his mouth.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing twice, Fang Zhu then asked: "Then the Arrogant Swallow didn't come back to you later? After raising it for a while, and then releasing it for its freedom, there should be some feelings for it."

Du Lei listened to Fang Zhu's words and smiled awkwardly: "Then I saw it again, it was already in the first battle competition. It seemed that its current trainer had just released King Carp and turned around to meet it, so he used his bare hands to Knock the proud swallow unconscious and subdue it."

"My condolences..." Fang Zhu could only console himself with this, saying that the absurdity of reality is often more dramatic than the drama of movies and TV shows.

"So, that's why you're so desperate to get a Magikarp?"

"Uh-huh!"

Du Lei nodded, then took Fang Zhu's hand and looked at him sincerely.

"Teacher Fang, please help me figure out which Magikarp to buy. Please, I swear I will choose it very quickly, just to waste a little bit of your time."

Looking at the stars radiating from the other person's eyes, Fang Zhu couldn't resist. Just when he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered something and said to Du Lei with a smile.

"Little Du Lei, Teacher Fang can help you, but do you have to tell me first? Why don't you tell me about the battle match next week?"

"Ah, Teacher Fang, you already know?!"

The moment Fang Zhu finished speaking, Du Lei became obviously at a loss. He sat on pins and needles, not knowing what movement to make. He didn't even know where to look, so he had to lower his head.

It wasn't until Fang Zhu held his body down that he hesitantly told the whole story.

"Well...our class has always been last in the previous battles. Even if you are so good, teacher, it will be difficult for us to improve in just these few days."

After saying that, Du Lei quickly added: "We are not doubting the teacher. If we have a month, we will definitely believe that the teacher can lead us to victory, but a few days are too short."

"So after discussing it, we decided that we will go to next week's game secretly by ourselves. This way, Teacher Fang, you don't know, and our winning or losing has nothing to do with you, and you won't be laughed at by other classes like us."

After all, he was still a child under ten years old. After Du Lei finished speaking, he lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved.

"I happen to be one of the three players drawn this time, and I will represent Class [-] in the competition, so I thought about buying a Magikarp to see if a miracle happens. If it evolves into Gyarados, we You don’t have to be afraid of them anymore!”

Fang Zhu just touched his back, feeling that a certain string in his heart moved slightly.

"Let's go, the teacher will help you look at a better Magikarp."

After saying that, Fang Zhu didn't wait for Du Lei to speak, but just took his young hand and walked towards the north gate.

The crowds are still bustling, and it looks like this carp-turned-dragon craze will continue for a few more days.

Fang Zhu looked left and right as he walked, activated the cultivation assistance system and looked at the carp kings at the stalls on both sides of the road.

The final result was disappointing. After looking at dozens of them, the highest potential was only in the boss-level category, let alone one that could evolve into a Gyarados in a short period of time.

Shaking his head, Fang Zhu hesitated for a while, but he still lowered his head and whispered to Du Lei: "Little Du Lei, do you dare to go with the teacher to catch Magikarp in the wild? The potential of Magikarp here is not very good."

Du Lei felt the sense of security coming from Fang Zhu's palm and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

The procedures for going out with children under 12 years old are more complicated.

The guard at the door checked Fang Zhu's mission record and confirmed that he was capable of protecting the child's safety before letting him go smoothly.

Time is tight, and if you want to reach Pure Lake as quickly as possible, you can't just walk.

Fang Zhu released the big tongue, and then said to Du Lei: "The big tongue will hug you later, don't move around."

Although he was a little uneasy, Du Lei nodded when he looked at Big Tongue's tonnage body and allowed Big Tongue to hold him in his arms.

Fang Zhu also took advantage of the situation and grasped Big Tongue's back: "Big Tongue, let's go, aiming for Pure Lake."

Big Tongue nodded, expressing understanding. Thanks to Fang Zhu's enhanced telepathy, Fang Zhu could often know what he was thinking without making a sound.

The tongue of the big tongue suddenly extended, then flicked, hanging firmly on a thick branch, and then swung rapidly through the forest.

Fang Zhu was used to this method, but for Du Lei, this was a novel experience.

I saw that he had changed from the original fear to the current enjoyment. He even imitated Tarzan and shouted rhythmically: "Ahhhhhh-"

Dialga's little toes stood up gently, and time passed quietly.

In the second half of the trip, Du Lei no longer had the initial excitement. He just held his big tongue tightly and experienced the feeling of the wind constantly hitting his face.

"There are... too many people."

Fang Zhu touched Big Tongue's head and said "Thank you" telepathically. Then he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

The shore of the huge pure lake was already densely packed with people, and Pokémon stood beside them, ready to go.

At this time, a Carp King exposed its head to the lake, as if it wanted to breathe the air in the air.

But he never expected that in an instant, hundreds of long-range attack skills would hit him. When the Magikarp, who had lost the ability to fight, surfaced, dozens more Poké Balls were thrown at him.

In the end, the winner waved the Poké Ball with Magikarp in his hand like a show of strength. The others were not annoyed and didn't even look at it, they just continued to stare at the lake.

"Hiss - I'm afraid Magikarp has already entered the Poké Ball before I activated the auxiliary system identification."

Fang Zhu took a deep breath as he looked at this brutal scene.

He still underestimated how enthusiastic people were about this matter. He originally thought that he could stand by the lake, identify a good Carp Queen, and let Big Tongue grab the monster.

With Big Tongue's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to escape the siege with himself and Du Lei.

But now...do you have time to do the appraisal?

"Let's go to the lake first and have a look. Hold on tight and don't get lost."

Fang Zhu's mouth twitched helplessly a few times, and he had no choice but to hold Du Lei's hand and approach the lake.

If it doesn't work, I will take Du Lei to other places and find an elf with good combat power to conquer.

Fang Zhu thought secretly as he walked.

When we arrived at the lake, the battle for the Carp King was still going on fiercely.

However, Fang Zhu saw with sharp eyes that near the shore of the lake, an unknown young fish Pokémon was nibbling on the moss on the shore.

"Du Lei, if the teacher says there is a Pokémon that can give you a high probability of winning next week, but it's not Magikarp, will you catch it?"
