This is also the reason why many utilitarian trainers look down on Magikarp.

“Whether it evolves or not, isn’t Magikarp my important partner? What’s the big deal?” Jiang Cheng was very open-minded about it. It was even better if Magikarp didn’t evolve. It looked good!

“Your Magikarp is well-raised. Its scales are bright red, and its head looks big too.”

“That’s right, don’t you see who raised it?”

The Magikarp spit out a string of bubbles and made another splash in the water.

Chapter 246: Zaobo

Jiang Cheng really took good care of the Magikarp.

During the days in the hot springs, Jiang Cheng ate tree fruits every day without skipping a meal. Magikarp also exercised regularly. The large pool more than 20 meters deep can fully meet Magikarp’s activity needs. Even people who have not participated in Pokémon breeding can see at a glance that Magikarp’s armor is bright red and its physique is strong. It looks much more energetic than ordinary Magikarp.

Jiang Cheng really didn’t have any obsession with Magikarp having to evolve. What would happen after becoming Gyarados in the future? Gyarados was so powerful that he had to do this and that.

Just let nature take its course. As a hot spring spa owner, why should I care about whether Gyarados is strong or not?

After chatting for a while, it was time to get down to business. First, they made a nest and spread out the bait. Then Jiang Cheng began to pinch the bait on the fishhook and with a simple cast of the rod, he began today’s card drawing session in the Nature Card Pool.

Jiang Cheng lives a peaceful life, but Xiao Xingyun is very busy, visiting this house and that house, and is very busy.

Jiang Cheng was a little worried that the child would disturb others, so he waved his hand

“Xiao Xingyun, come here quickly, I have some delicious food here”

“Coco~”

Hearing about the delicious food, little Xingyun was no longer sleepy. He came to Jiang Cheng immediately, watched Jiang Cheng take out a sandwich, and took a bite of it.

“Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you.” Jiang Cheng took care of the little guy while looking at the buoy on the water. The buoy shook slightly. Jiang Cheng raised the rod suddenly and a seahorse was pulled out of the water.

“Ink Seahorse, a dragon Pokémon, uses its tail, which curls up like a spring, to keep its balance. Sometimes it spits out ink from its mouth. Loto, the report is over!!”

Rotom came out from beside Jiang Cheng.

Hey man, you are a dragon too?

Listening to Rotom’s report, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. There is a Pokémon with the word “dragon” in its name, looks like a dragon, has moves that include dragon, but is a fire and flying type. Who is it?

But it doesn’t matter. After all, the final evolution of the black seahorse, the Thorn Dragon King, is somewhat dragon-like. The moment you see the coconut tree, your spiritual heart begins to be shattered.

The black seahorse is small and very cute, with light yellow fins on its front abdomen and back. Its iris is red, with three spikes on each side of its head and a long cylindrical mouth. Its tail curls forward in a counterclockwise shape.

The black seahorse generally lives in diving coral areas with relatively gentle water flow. It will use its curled tail to wrap around the coral to stabilize its body and make its home in the shade of the coral. It’s pretty good. This little guy can keep the sun corals company.

Jiang Cheng took the ink seahorse off the fishhook, but saw that the little guy sprayed a mouthful of ink at Jiang Cheng angrily. Jiang Cheng immediately turned his head to avoid it, and the little guy was about to move again, but a hint of red appeared in his peripheral vision.

A huge Magikarp popped up from the water like a cannonball and crashed into the seahorse, knocking it unconscious. The Magikarp and the seahorse fell to the ground together, and the seahorse’s eyes began to spin.

“Wow, he killed it in one second?” Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but look at Magikarp. How can you be so awesome?

When did my Magikarp learn to charge forward?

Jiang Cheng didn’t know that Magikarp had received a favor from Tyrannosaurus and had been practicing Dragon Dance underwater. Now seeing that Magikarp could actually ram Seahorse into submission with one head, he couldn’t help but open the other party’s message bar.

Magikarp, Fish Pokémon

【Level: 35】

It’s level 35 and still hasn’t evolved. Sure enough, the real world is not a game, and we can’t generalize… But it seems reasonable that a level 35 Magikarp can kill the Ink Seahorse with a ram? When did our Magikarp learn to ram?

Jiang Cheng looked directly at the skill bar: [Skills: Water Splash, Impact, Crazy, Dragon Dance]

There really was a collision, and it went crazy, so it did have attacking moves. It seemed that I had made the mistake of empiricism before, always thinking that Magikarp had no attacking power at all… Wait, what is that?

Jiang Cheng suddenly looked towards the last column, and the three big words “Dragon Dance” were particularly eye-catching.

No, why does Magikarp do the dragon dance?

Isn’t your Magikarp a little too illegal? Could it be that your father is a Dragonite? Did he pass on his moves to you?

Jiang Cheng was puzzled and scratched his head. He decided to put it aside. What’s wrong with being able to dance with dragons? He caught it himself! Arceus allowed it!

No matter how the dragon dance came about, the first priority now is to praise the child.

“That’s awesome Magikarp!”

Jiang Cheng picked up Magikarp and said, “If it weren’t for you, this time it would really be dangerous! You are really my savior.”

Magikarp waved his fins, and a smile appeared in his big, silly eyes.

“Coco~” Seeing Magikarp being praised, Little Nebula immediately came over and rubbed against Jiang Cheng.

“Xingyun is my lucky star too! Eat your sandwich well.”

Jiang Cheng really couldn’t find anything to praise about Xiao Xingyun.

But despite this, Little Xingyun also laughed very happily, waving his two cotton candy-like tentacles: “Coco~ Coco~”

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong: “Wait, Xiaoxing…” As soon as he raised his hand, he disappeared instantly along with Magikarp and Little Nebula.

The angler next to him turned around and said, “Huh? Where are the people?”

……

In the Ultimate Alien Cave Research Area of ​​the Ether Foundation, a wretched middle-aged man wearing a white coat, a bald head, and a pair of green butterfly-shaped goggles was hiding in a corner with an indignant look on his face, observing several members of the Ether Foundation who were chatting in front of him.

“I think there is something wrong with this index…”

“Indeed, the ether readings in this area are significantly higher, and there may be a risk of the existence of Ultra Beasts…”

The two chatted as they walked away, and the wretched man finally came out from the corner and continued to move forward on tiptoe.

“Damn Lusamine… I have followed him for so many years, and he actually dared to dismiss me… This stupid woman is not worthy of being the leader of the Aether Foundation!”

This person is none other than the biggest boss in the Aether Foundation, the Director of the Failure Department, Alola Danzo, and the Director of the Ultimate Space Research Department of the Aether Foundation, Zaobo.

Due to Jiang Cheng’s early disclosure, Lusamine was very dissatisfied with Zaobo’s hiding the truth from her, especially later when she discovered that Zaobo was pretending to obey her but secretly conducting research on the ultimate cave that she had ordered to be refined and sealed.

Such behavior, in Lusamine’s opinion, is completely unacceptable and unforgivable.

So Lusamine directly removed this man from his position as director of the Ultimate Space Research Department and demoted him to an ordinary researcher.

In Lusamine’s opinion, this was already a very severe punishment.

Of course, if Jiang Cheng knew that Lusamine handled it in this way, he would definitely be heartbroken. After all, he is not a local treasure who cares about mutual understanding between people. In his concept, the main point is that if someone offends me, I must offend him. If you don’t kill the snake, you will suffer from it. You must cut the grass at its roots.

Seeing Lusamine speak so confidently before, Jiang Cheng habitually believed that Lusamine must have dealt with Zaobo completely. He never expected that Lusamine would still keep Zaobo, and even more so that she would let this bastard continue to shine in his original workplace.

His lazy dog ​​problem made him ignore that in the original call plot, even though Zaobo made the mistake of snatching Cosmogu and causing Lusamine to be captured by the Ultra Beast, he was only demoted to become Pico’s subordinate.

Coming to an instrument, Zaobo started working right away.

He was unwilling to give up and wanted to turn the tables. After so many years of hard work, how could he just give up like this?

However, he is no longer the director of the Ultimate Space Research Department, but just an ordinary employee. If he wants to resist Lusamine, he needs enough power.

And he just knew where to get it.

He operated the instrument, and soon a genetic map appeared on the screen with a red dot marked on the map.

Chapter 247: Conspiracy

As the self-proclaimed King of Invention in Alola, Zaobo naturally couldn’t just hide one thing from Lusamine. One of the most important things was also his main purpose this time, which was a project to research artificial Pokémon specifically for Ultra Beasts: BK

Full name: Beast Killer.

Due to the powerful strength of the Ultra Beasts, according to the research of the Aether Foundation, each Ultra Beast has a combat power that is almost as good as the island guardian family, the Tapu family. If you want to deal with these powerful guys, you have to be stronger than them.

Under the leadership of Zaobo, a project called BK, full name: Beast Killer, was launched.

If they want to be strong, they have to do it in one step. The project directly uses the mythical Pokémon, that is, Tuo Mou, as the prototype, and starts to create their own legendary beast.

Under this basic design concept, the clever Zaobo began to add his own understanding. In his concept, BK should be able to cope with various complex battle situations and adapt to any battle environment. Therefore, when creating this Pokémon, they directly started with a hodgepodge of various elements.

Their ideas were very good, with a bull’s head, a crocodile’s mouth, deer antlers, a snake’s body, eagle’s claws, and fish’s scales, but in practice it became the front half of a bird, the middle part of a beast, and the back half of a fish.

It can be said that there is still a big gap between project expectations and actual project implementation, and one must learn to compromise when doing scientific research.

The purpose of such a compromise is to perfectly replicate a characteristic of the mythical Pokémon: the ability to change its own attributes at will.

Artificial mechanical skeletons, combined with full-attribute cells, are designed to adapt to energy of all attributes. In order to achieve this, Zaobo’s team specially used the information recovered from the Water Vein Library in the Sinnoh region to create an attribute conversion device called the AR system.

You can use CDs with different attribute data to allow BK to switch between different attributes at will during battle.

Pokémon is not EVA, there is no such thing as an invincible Unit-01 with just a lot of equipment. And due to funding reasons, only three of BK’s Unit-01 were produced.

After successful manufacturing, the item is renamed to Attribute: Full.

But, obviously, as the king of failure that Shui Lian has always teased, Zaobo’s invention this time also failed unsurprisingly. All three individuals had a strong rejection reaction to the matching AR system. In order to solve this problem, the developers installed a control mask to alleviate the rejection reaction of the AR system, which also made the AR system unable to start.

From then on, the developers of the Zaobo team froze all individuals and changed their names to attribute: empty.

After Zaobo’s affair was exposed, the two attribute holes were completely confiscated and sealed by Lusamine. Except for Lusamine herself and her confidants, no one knew where the two attribute holes had gone, not to mention Zaobo who was now just an ordinary researcher.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Thanks to the incident in which Lusamine’s child was attacked by the Ultimate Beast, Lusamine’s other child awakened a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He stole a void and took the other one with him to practice outside.

“As long as I can get this attribute of the air back into my hands, I will have the power to fight against Lusamine…”

Zaobo memorized the map and the red dot in his mind and left quietly.

On the other side, Sirona, who had been in the library for three days, finally walked out of the library.

What Jiang Cheng told her about the legend of Alola was true. After checking a large amount of information, Shirona did find a thread of Alola mythology.

About the children of the stars, about the God of Glory, about the guardian of the island, about Alola, and even about the survival of the entire world…

Shirona had never imagined that such a small place like Alola actually contained such a terrible crisis, which was no less than Sinnoh.

However, there is still a lot of unclear information. Thinking back, Jiang Cheng told her that if there is anything she doesn’t understand, she can go to the Aether Foundation to find the answer. Shirona did not hesitate and directly summoned Garchomp.

“Greco, let’s go to the Aether Foundation!”

“Kaaaaa…”

Land Shark soared into the sky and headed straight for the Aether Foundation.

…….

“Oh my god, what the hell is this? Is this still Alola?”

In the lush forest, Jiang Cheng held Magikarp in one hand and Little Nebula in the other, and moved forward carefully in the forest.

While carefully stepping over a bush, Jiang Cheng felt annoyed in his heart. He had been living in peace for so long that he had forgotten that the little Xingyun could teleport people randomly, and the location of the teleportation was extremely unstable. It could be home, on the roadside, in the kitchen of someone else’s restaurant, in a dense forest somewhere, or in the deep sea more than ten meters underwater.

Jiang Cheng should probably be thankful that this little creature couldn’t open a portal into the lava, and that he had already subdued the little black seahorse into the diving ball, otherwise he would have died with regrets if he had left without getting the fish.

Now that things have come to this, it is not the time to complain. The most urgent thing is to find a relatively safe place to call for support, or wait for the second random transmission.

Jiang Cheng prefers the former.

Little Xingyun’s ability is extremely unstable, and even Little Xingyun himself may not know when it will be activated. Jiang Cheng doesn’t dare to bet on where this little guy will take him next time. It is best to keep the situation under his control as much as possible.

“Rotom, have you contacted Milton and the others?”

“The signal has been sent, Lotor!”

“Thank you, Rotom.”

“Coco” Little Xingyun shrank into Jiang Cheng’s arms. The completely unfamiliar environment made it a little scared. It didn’t know why it suddenly came here. The only person it could rely on was Jiang Chengcheng.

“It’s okay, little Nebula. I’m here, and Magikarp is here too. We’ll be fine. Millerton will come to pick us up soon. Then we can go home together and have some cake, okay?”

Hearing about the little cake, little Xingyun became energetic again. He bravely crawled out of Jiang Cheng’s arms, looked at the quiet and dense forest around him, and crawled back.

“I’m sorry Magikarp, you must be feeling uncomfortable in the air. You’re the only one I can rely on right now. If you feel really uncomfortable, just turn around and tell me, and I’ll send you back to the Poké Ball.”

Magikarp opened his mouth with a determined look in his eyes.

As a Pokémon, it is completely okay for Magikarp to come ashore within a certain period of time. What’s more, Jiang Cheng is in danger now, and this is the moment when he must stand up!

Magikarp! Protect everyone!

Chapter 248: Exploring the Forest

Exploring the wild was a relatively new experience for Jiang Cheng. He had explored the wild before, but he was always accompanied by members of the Aether Foundation. He was also protected by two generals, Zhenyifa and Erguiliang, so he felt very safe.

Like now, it is the first time that he is almost single-handedly fighting against the entire fucking world. Cosmogu cannot be considered as a combat power. Apart from teleportation, he has no available moves. The pure mascot, Ink Seahorse, was just captured. There is no available information about it, and its level is extremely low. It is a little unbearable to use it to fight Jiang Chengdu.

The only one I can rely on is the Magikarp in my arms. Even though Magikarp is a relatively weak Pokémon, it is at least level 35. Even if it doesn’t have mechanics, I have numbers.
