Chapter 627: Mienshao: I think there might be something wrong with their brains

Yes, my name is Magikarp.

It is a Pokémon that is covered in golden light and is destined to become the Dragon King in the future.

In Thundering Lake, golden fish shadows swim greedily in the water whose quality can be said to be unparalleled.

This is in stark contrast to the look of being at the mercy of others when it was first captured.

In fact, Magikarp's not-so-bright brain was also filled with joy at this moment.

The Magikarp swung its tail, changed its swimming direction, and spit out a few bubbles.

After only one day in the lake, it had completely adapted to life in captivity.

It would be strange if I couldn't adapt.

Even though the lake is not as winding as the stream in terms of length, the depth is completely different.

Even if some areas are blocked by nets that are difficult for it to pass through, it can only drool at the farmed fish that are gradually becoming fatter.

But staying here is much better than living in the wild with one meal a day and going hungry.

The benefits are countless.

The clarity and cleanliness of the lake water was something Magikarp had never seen before. It seemed that just by swimming gently, he could feel his body and soul being continuously purified.

No, according to the Mienshao who has no choice but to "take care" of himself, three meals a day are provided here.

This also means that I don’t have to worry about going hungry anymore.

There is also a huge rock at the bottom of the lake. It is completely different from ordinary stones. When you get close to it, you can feel a warm current flowing in your body.

Instinct told Magikarp that this wet rock would be of great benefit to him, and it would be best to get closer to it.

There are no disputes, no need to fight for food, and the environment is comfortable. The benefits are simply too numerous to count.

Magikarp even began to regret. If he had been fished out by that stupid human in the air force a year ago, he might have accumulated enough strength to transform into a dragon!

That’s right, transform into a dragon.

Magikarp once met a human boy on a moonlit night.

The other party told it like this -

As long as you are in the Magikarp stage, you must continue to accumulate nutrients and don't evolve casually.

Until one day you will be able to transform into a dragon, and the king of dragons!

Although Magikarp's brain was not very bright, he felt a longing for the huge dragon in the painting that the little boy showed him.

Will I be able to become such a handsome and powerful person in the future?
At that time, Magikarp was undoubtedly looking forward to this future, and then began his own long journey.

Until now, I have suppressed the urge to evolve twice. Both times, I did not make the leap to the Dragon Gate. It was simply the accumulated energy that was playing a role.

When being blown away by the tornado of the ferocious big guy, Magikarp felt a little regretful that although he had experienced the feeling of leaping over the dragon gate, the feeling of evolution did not come.

Otherwise, your patience count can be increased once more.

Where Magikarp didn't notice.

Milotic was soaking in the lake water, which had become increasingly comfortable for it since Tapu Finfin came to the farm, and its eyes followed Magikarp's movements.

It’s not that it is interested in the Magikarp. After all, it doesn’t like shiny golden objects, especially a moving Magikarp.

——This will remind it of the days when it raised Gyarados with great difficulty in the Crystal Pool.

Only Minas himself knows how difficult those days were.

Fortunately, Magikarp later evolved into Gyarados and became the most powerful Pokémon in the Crystal Pool, and life became a little better.

What happened next was that it took a fancy to Luo Mu and deliberately let itself be fished out by him, trying to get free food and drink from humans.

Therefore, it really has no fighting spirit or interest to "raise" a Magikarp anymore. If it has the free time, it might as well go to Nine-Tailed Fox to study how to make its moves more beautiful.

However, after all, Magikarp was given to him by Gyarados. Regardless of its intention in giving him its own kind, at least Milotic thought that he should understand Magikarp's wishes.

If it likes a freer life, please let it go.

Milotic has its own way of communicating with the Magikarp race.

After a moment's hesitation, it stopped the Magikarp that was swimming around at the bottom of the lake but was barely within the range of the huge wet rock.

Mienshao tried to inquire about the other party's intentions.

After a while.

He ignored the Gyarados who had been inexplicably hanging around him lately, and declined the cute Sea Lion's invitation to play with bubbles with him.

The speechless Milotic jumped out of the water and prepared to find Luo Mu.

At this time, Luo Mu was having his routine communication with the messenger bird and was looking through the photos it sent over.

"Is this the Chenghua Gym in Chenghua City?"

Looking at the features of a building in the photo, Luo Mu compared it on the Internet and soon found the answer.

Then consider the time when Satoshi and his friends were almost reduced to small black dots in the corners of the photo, as well as the photo of the Messenger Bird.

Luo Mu roughly guessed that Xiaozhi should have challenged the Orange Gym for the second time a few days ago.

How did Luo Mu recognize that the four black spots were Xiaozhi and his group?
That is of course the iconic sign - Pikachu standing on Ash's shoulder, and the baseball cap that serves as the character's main body.

All in all, Satoshi's progress is indeed faster than Shinji and Shizuka. After all, they have just got the third badge and are preparing to go to Kamahene Town to challenge the Kamahene Gym to get the fourth one.

But there should still be enough time, so there is no need to worry too much.

In any case, this time the three of them don’t have to take a detour to the Hoenn battle frontier.

Although Nemo may have a poor sense of direction, with the help of the reliable Shinji and the all-round logistical support of Joey Shizuka, their progress may even surpass that of Satoshi and his four companions.

"There are several cities between Chenghua City and Larus City. Well, after meeting Mikoli, I will go to Larus City to keep the appointment. I shouldn't run into Xiaozhi and the others and trigger the events of the movie."

Although Luo Muji was not sure at which stage of their journey in the Hoenn region Satoshi and his crew went to Larus City, but thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be such a coincidence.

In this way, we can go to the Hoenn region without any worries tomorrow.

Luo Mu put down the photo and used his broken-screen phone to send a message to Mikoli in his contacts, and also attached his flight information.

As for the city of Larus, there should be no problem going there directly. There are high-tech everywhere, and Dr. Rondo, one of the persons in charge, should also be able to know the people entering the city.

After making all the preparations, Luo Mu looked at the mobile phone that had been with him for two years, with some reluctance in his eyes.

By the end of this year at the latest, Rotom-related research should have matured and begun attempts at mass production.

Rotom Encyclopedia, Rotom Phone, and even aerial photography of Rotom. At least Luo Mu felt that with his relationship with Nemo, it should be no problem for him to get the latest Rotom Phone that has not yet been released.

When that time comes, I will really have to say goodbye to this phone.

As a relatively conservative person who is reluctant to throw away things he has used for a long time, Luo Mu feels a little melancholy just thinking about it.

Just as Luo Mu was sighing alone, a passage suddenly came into his mind.

It was Zhi Huixing's telepathy, coming from outside the house.

"Mienshao is looking for me?" Luo Mu blinked and his expression became a little strange.

I haven't even had the chance to announce it yet, and it already knows that I'm going to the Hoenn region with me?
With a hint of doubt in his mind, Luo Mu went outside.

In addition to calling his own Zhihuixing, Milotic was also waiting for him.

The other person seemed to have just come out of Thunder Lake. There were still some water stains on his body and clear water marks on the road. After all, it was still the season from winter to spring and the temperature was not that high.

The remaining moisture on Milotic's body made its fish tail scales even more colorful under the sunlight.

Just by staying there, an indescribable charm emanated from Milotic.

No wonder even the silly Gyarados was tempted by it.

It’s really beautiful.

It is different from the noble royal temperament of the monarch snake and the sacred temperament of the nine-tailed fox. It is just pure beauty.

After the ball-shaped sea lions evolved into sea lions, Luo Mu felt that he could consider forming a group with them and debut as idols, forming a band or participating in a glamour competition.

"So what exactly do you want to see me about?"

Luo Mu did not rush ahead of Milotic and use methods like "You finally knew about it" to erase Milotic's sense of achievement.

He didn't mind his thoughts being guessed and then being excitedly exposed in advance by the real owner.

Unfortunately, this time, Milotic did not come to Luo Mu for this matter.

It had already asked Zhihuixing to do "simultaneous interpretation" for it in advance, and with a barely perceptible hint of silence, it told Luo Mu about its helplessness.

"Milu~"

That's what happened~

"Milu.?"

I think they both might have some brain problems. Is this a common problem among Gyarados?

It can be seen that Milotic's helplessness is about to overflow.

When they were in the Crystal Pool before, although Gyarados was stupid, he generally listened to the words of Mienshao, who was still a fish-crow.

It naturally took on the role of "think tank" and later found a good way out for itself and Gyarados.

But not long after arriving at the farm, Gyarados, whose life was free of worries, first brought it a golden Magikarp of its kind for no apparent reason.

He also said with a sincere look that this was a gift for it.

Only then did Milotic realize that Gyarados didn't even recognize his own kind that hadn't evolved yet.

——Although Milotic himself is also like this, but this is not the point.

In addition to Gyarados, the phoenix chick, the golden Magikarp is even more of a sleeping dragon.

What kind of brain would believe a little boy's wild imagination, and then suppress his own urge to evolve twice, with his mind full of accumulating strength and then turning into a dragon?
Isn't your evolved form already in front of you?

At most it would evolve into a golden Gyarados. Apart from the word "dragon" in its name, what else does it have to do with dragons?

"."

Zhi Huixing, who was doing the "simultaneous interpretation", and Luo Mu, who was listening to Mienshao's complaints, were also speechless at this time.

How could my small farm have the two dragons and phoenixes, Gyarados and Magikarp, coexist at the same time?
Didn’t you see that the usually aloof Milotic had its defense broken?

After a long silence, Luo Mu tried to organize his words and asked carefully: "Did you tell Magikarp the truth?"

I don't know which kid made up a rumor that Caterpillar can evolve into Rayquaza if it reaches level 100, and it actually fooled the Golden Magikarp.

Now my mind is full of thoughts about becoming a dragon, becoming a king, I want to become the Dragon King.

It's a bit outrageous and immoral.

In response to Luo Mu's question, Milotic just turned its head away silently, and its light blue hair-like fins almost hit Luo Mu's face.

It tried to persuade him, but for the stubborn Golden Carp King, what difference did it make whether it persuaded him or not?

Luo Mu, who understood what Mienshao had not said, sighed and said helplessly, "Then let it be. The farm can still afford the feed for a Magikarp."

"Maybe in the future it can evolve into a large red Gyarados for us?"

After complaining, Milotic felt that his sanity had been restored a lot and left with satisfaction.

Luo Mu simply notified it before it left.

——You are one of the people on the list of people going to the Hoenn region.

Luo Mu also asked Milotic to tell Nine-Tails that he must bring the Nine-Tails Aurora-style clothes that Mikoli sent.

After Milotic left, Luo Mu did not wander around the farm, but went straight home with Zhi Huixing.

The living room is spacious and bright.

Ignore the Eevee sisters, Victini, Ursa Major and Incineroar who are still sleeping soundly together.

Luo Mu went straight to the corner of the living room, where there was an area with soft cushions.

The Iron Warrior, whose dust was carefully swept away by a pair of rats, remained powered off. Tailebagos, the Iron Warrior's "neighbor", was still in the familiar autistic state.

To be honest, Luo Mu was almost used to it.

Calculating the time, Tailebagos woke up on the first day of the new year.

Half a month has passed since then.

It is indeed frustrating that the other party has not responded, but with Luo Mu's efforts, the situation is actually getting better little by little.

“The food bowl is empty again”

Picking up the small turtle food bowl placed next to the autistic Tailebagos, Luo Mu smiled as he looked at the empty bowl.

It seems that the environment that I prepared for Tailebagos based on psychology books and Joey Lin's advice, which has sufficient "comfort, safety, and food", has effectively eliminated its anxiety.

A sense of security is very important in alleviating the condition of the Tailebagos, just like a newly arrived kitten adapting to a new home.

Luo Mu did not rashly contact Tailebagos frequently, which would increase its tension and stress.

Instead, they chose to give it a certain amount of space and prepare sufficient food so that the Pokémon would not scare the Talebagos.

Let it adjust and adapt to this new environment.

When no one is around, the food in the bowl that has been eaten up can prove that Luo Mu’s efforts are not wrong.

Logically speaking, after a while, Tailebagos, which has gradually recovered from the stress state, should be able to try to contact this new future world on its own.

However, perhaps the golden Magikarp really brought a bit of good luck to Luo Mu as the fishmonger in the Kanto region said.

When I sensed a familiar aura approaching.

This time, Tailebagos did not continue to be a coward, but bravely and carefully stuck his head out.

The pair of bright eyes with rose-red eyeliner suddenly caught Luo Mu's eyes.
