my pokemon player.

The Bubble Teapot gave a delicate cry and threw the Poké Ball with force.

As the Poké Ball opened, a Magikarp full of fighting spirit appeared in front of everyone.

Originally, when the three members of Team Rocket saw the Bubble Teapot releasing Pokémon, they were a little worried, fearing that the other party might be hiding powerful Pokémon.

But when they found out that the Pokémon released by the Bubble Teapot was Magikarp, they immediately laughed out loud, holding their stomachs.

"Hahahahaha, I thought it was such a powerful Pokémon, but it turns out to be just a useless Magikarp!" Musashi sneered with a smile.

Kojiro also pointed at the Magikarp and laughed, "What else is this Magikarp good for besides flopping around on the ground?"

"That's right, I can handle it, meow!" Meow Meow said, stretching out his paw.

The players trapped in the net looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"Alas, it's not easy to make a teapot, and you will be laughed at by the NPC." Xu Ruofeng sighed.

Old Ye said helplessly: "There is no way. Her Treebow Bear is seriously injured and can't continue to fight. Only this Magikarp is left."

"Humph, I told you at the beginning that it's best not to tame Magikarp and Ugliano, the 'dragon and phoenix' pair, but she didn't listen to me. Her temper is as stubborn as that of a certain idiot!"

Mixed Grain Guoba snorted coldly, glancing at Xu Ruofeng beside him from time to time.

Xu Ruofeng naturally noticed Zaliang Guoba's gaze and immediately retorted: "Who are you calling a fool?"

"I'll talk to whoever takes the next step." The multi-grain rice crust said without giving in.

"How dare you, a person with poor sense of direction, criticize me? The keys are 3 yuan each, 10 yuan for three keys, how many keys do you want?" Xu Ruofeng also responded sharply.

"Oh, don't say I'm not a directionally challenged person. Even if I really am a directionally challenged person, I wouldn't be stupid enough to tame the Ugly Fish!" Mixed Grain Rice Crust retorted.

Xu Ruofeng sneered, "You are discriminating against Pokémon again. I shouldn't have recommended you for the internal test!"

When Zaliang Guoba heard this, he was silent for a moment, then said in a stiff tone:

"I'm not discriminating against Pokémon. I actually have no problem with Magikarp and Smelly. I just think they're not suitable for players to capture. Not only will they slow down the players' development, but they'll also cause trouble for themselves."

"Do you think that Pokémon like Magikarp and Smelt, which are not good at fighting, would like to train and fight with players every day, or would they prefer to swim leisurely in the lake?"

"Forcibly taming them will hurt both the players and themselves, so I don't recommend you taming Magikarp and Ugliano."

"This..." Xu Ruofeng was speechless for a moment. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood the mixed grain rice crust. The other party was not discriminating against Pokémon, but was thinking about Pokémon.

What's more, what he said just now was a bit hurtful. What did he mean by that multi-grain rice crust should not be given a recommendation?

I clearly gave the rice crust willingly, so how come now I'm being treated as if I'm asking for repayment?

Fortunately, Xu Ruofeng always corrects his mistakes and doesn't care about face. He immediately apologized to Zaliang Guoba:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I didn't expect you were thinking about Pokémon. I'm so happy for you! I'm right to give you this spot!"

Hearing this, Zaliang Guoba turned his head away awkwardly: "Get lost, don't take advantage of me here!"

"I won't take your place for nothing. I'll invite you to wash my feet when I have time in a couple of days."

Xu Ruofeng's eyes lit up: "Really? Once is not enough, at least three times!"

"Look at your useless look. Let alone three times, five times will do!" said the Multi-Grain Guoba proudly.

"Boss, you're so generous. I want technician number eight!"

"No, only number eight cannot be given to you. You should choose someone else."

"Damn it! Let's draw our swords and duel!"

Old Ye, who was watching the show, couldn't help but interrupt, "You two seem to have a pretty good relationship. No wonder Guoba has always been against Xiaofeng trying to tame Chouchouyu. It turns out he was afraid that Chouchouyu would drag Xiaofeng down."

"Who said that! I'm just worried that the Ugly Fish would get hurt!" said the Multi-Grain Rice Crust stubbornly.

Old Ye smiled but said nothing. Instead, Xu Ruofeng said carelessly:

"Don't worry, the ugly fish likes his current life very much. He stays by my side and I can't drive him away."

"The Bubble Teapot's Magikarp also loves to fight. All the Magikarp I caught at sea these days were beaten by it."

Grain Guoba nodded slightly: "Such an aggressive Magikarp is indeed rare, no wonder it is level 19."

"To be precise, it's level 20. It was upgraded again two days ago." Lao Ye corrected.

Grain Guoba was surprised and asked, "Ah? Why did it upgrade so quickly?"

"I guess it was about to be upgraded before it was tamed by the Bubble Teapot." Lao Ye replied.

“I see. But no matter how high the level of the Magikarp is, it’s useless.” Zaliang Guoba didn’t have any hope for the Magikarp.

Old Ye smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to have it than not. At least it can help the quiet god share some of the firepower."

"That's right, maybe a miracle will happen, Xiyue, don't you think so?" Xu Ruofeng turned and asked Xiyue.

"Yes!" Xiyue nodded firmly.

"Look, even the illegitimate daughter of the goddess of luck believes so. A miracle will definitely happen!"

Xu Ruofeng said confidently that among all the people present, he was the only one who could best understand the destructive power of luck.

Since Xiyue has spoken, Chen Yan and Bubble Teapot Bao will win this battle!

However, except Xu Ruofeng and Xiyue, no one else was very optimistic. Chen Yan even began to consider whether he should retreat first to avoid annihilation of the entire army.

As a strategy-oriented player, he would never engage in the "live and die together" thing.

In his opinion, retaining the manpower is the most correct option. As long as a player can escape, there will be a chance to rescue others.

So Chen Yan looked at the bubble teapot, wanting to signal her to retreat with him.

But Bubble Teapot did not notice Chen Yan's gaze. She was concentrating on directing Magikarp:
"Magikarp, you can do it, use Smash on Arbok!"

"Kah!"

Magikarp slapped the ground with its tail, and the whole fish rushed towards Arbok like a sharp arrow.

Seeing the determined look in the Carp King's eyes and high morale, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Could it be that.
"Oh!"

Arbok just flicked his tail and sent Magikarp flying.

Okay, I was overthinking it. I should think about how to escape first.

Arbok used its tail to extinguish Chen Yan's fire of hope, and at the same time pulled Magikarp in front of the Rocket trio.

"Hahahaha, this Magikarp is really useless, it's weaker than Meowth!"

Musashi kicked Magikarp to Meowth's side.

Magikarp could naturally understand Musashi's ridicule, and a raging anger arose in his heart.

"Don't say that, I don't want to be compared with a Magikarp, meow!" Meow Meow stretched out his claws and scratched the Magikarp, causing the Magikarp's anger to increase again.

Because Musashi and Meowth were both very loud, Bubble Teapot also heard their mockery of Magikarp and immediately retorted loudly:
"Magikarp is not a useless Pokémon, it's my best friend!"

Magikarp was deeply moved by what he heard, and struggled hard to continue fighting, but was still stepped on by Kojiro.

Looking at the Magikarp under his feet, Kojiro couldn't help but recall the scene when he was deceived by the Magikarp uncle on the Saint Annu, and the painful experience of being knocked away by the evolved Gyarados.

"Humph, I hate Magikarp the most. Since this Magikarp is your partner, I'll give it back to you!"

After saying that, Kojiro kicked Magikarp away.

Magikarp fell heavily in front of Bubble Teapot, and the anger in his heart reached its peak.

It hated its own weakness and felt that it had let the bubble teapot down.

It wants to become stronger and protect the bubble teapot, and it can pay any price for this!

Just as Magikarp strengthened his belief, a strange movement suddenly surged in its body, followed by the dazzling light of evolution.

This ray of light attracted the attention of everyone present. They stared at the evolving Magikarp with varying reactions.

Bubble Teapot was surprised, tears sparkled in her eyes, she covered her mouth and muttered:

"Great, great, I knew you could do it!"

Xu Ruofeng and others were surprised. They didn't expect that the Magikarp had actually evolved.

"Oh shit! Magikarp has evolved! Guoba, look!"

Xu Ruofeng, who had reacted, shouted loudly, with the joy on his face no less than that of the bubble teapot.

The reason is simple. The reason why Magikarp and Ugliano are called "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" by players is because they are very similar.

In a way, they are like half brothers.

Since Magikarp can evolve, his Magikarp can most likely evolve as well. How can he not be ecstatic?

"I saw it, but there's nothing to be happy about. Even if a Pokémon like Magikarp evolves, it won't be very strong."

Although Zaliang Guoba was also surprised by the evolution of Magikarp, he still did not think that the evolved Magikarp had the ability to turn the tide of the battle.

This is not because he deliberately poured cold water on Xu Ruofeng, but most Pokémon have a deep connection before and after evolution, and the Pokémon's evolved form and strength will be affected by the initial stage.

For example, Chen Yan's Smelly Flower evolved from grass to flower, and Lingling's Alidos evolved from a small spider to a big spider.

Although a few Pokémon will undergo earth-shaking changes after evolution, such as Dratini's final evolution form is Dragonite.

But he is a quasi-god. How can a Pokémon like Magikarp, which can be found everywhere, compare with Dragonite?

Therefore, Zaliang Guoba thinks that after evolving, Magikarp will at most be a fish Pokémon with slightly improved strength, and it will not be able to play any role in the forest environment.

"No matter what, the evolved Magikarp will become stronger. I hope it... No! How come Magikarp is getting bigger and bigger!"

Old Ye said in disbelief, although the light of evolution has not dissipated yet, this figure wrapped in the light does not look like a fish at all!
Not only did Old Ye feel something was wrong, Chen Yan also thought:
"This figure gives me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Wait! Could it be..."

Chen Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at the evolving Magikarp with anticipation.

If he guessed correctly, the evolved Magikarp really did have the power to turn defeat into victory, so he didn't need to run away!

Compared to the players' surprise, the three members of Team Rocket were all in panic when they saw this familiar scene.

Players don’t know what Magikarp can evolve into, but they know!
Musashi took a step back, his mouth twitching slightly: "I've seen this scene before!"

"I suddenly have a bad feeling," Kojiro said with a stiff expression.

"No, no way!" Meow Meow swallowed unconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of evolution covering the Magikarp dissipated.

A blue Pokémon that looked like a dragon, had a ferocious appearance, green dragon horns on its head, and was covered in a macro-shaped deck appeared in front of everyone.

When the players saw this familiar figure, they all opened their mouths wide and exclaimed in amazement.

Old Ye: “Ah?”

Xu Ruofeng: “Ah?”

Multi-grain Guoba: "Oh no, don't you have any other words?!"

Xu Ruofeng ignored the multi-grain rice crust. He rubbed his eyes first and then looked forward.

Although he confirmed again and again that he was not dazzled, he still asked Lao Ye with concern:

"Am I seeing right? This is Gyarados?"

Old Ye nodded blankly: "Yes, this is Gyarados. We have fought with them at sea. They are very powerful!"

"Who would have thought that Gyarados, known as the disaster of the sea, actually evolved from the weak and dull Magikarp? The Pokémon world is so amazing!"

After listening to Old Ye's sigh, Xu Ruofeng turned to Zaliang Guoba and asked, "Did you see Gyarados as well?"

“Nonsense, I’m not blind!” Zaliang Guoba rolled his eyes, then muttered with a very complicated expression: “How is this possible? Magikarp can actually evolve into Gyarados, this is so unreasonable!”

He really couldn't understand why the weak Magikarp could evolve into Gyarados. The two had no similar strength or appearance, and even their colors were different!
Although Pokémon has all kinds of magical abilities that cannot be measured by common sense, this is too magical! Why not just change the name to Pokémon!

After receiving affirmative responses from Lao Ye and the mixed grain rice crust, Xu Ruofeng finally couldn't control his smile, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly:

"Hahahaha, the 'Wolong' Magikarp has really evolved into a dragon! Then my 'Phoenix Child' Ugly Fish can also be reborn!"

"Guoba, don't forget your promise. After my chouchu fish transforms, you have to apologize to it and stand on the street and shout that you have a poor sense of direction!"

When Zaliang Guoba heard this, his face changed instantly. He had almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Xu Ruofeng still remembered it.

But he has always wanted to save face, even if he feels a little uneasy, he will not give in:

"I haven't forgotten. If your Uglius really transforms, I will naturally fulfill my promise!"

"But don't be too happy too soon. Magikarp evolving into Gyarados is outrageous enough. I don't believe such an outrageous thing will happen twice!"

Xu Ruofeng smiled confidently: "It's good that you haven't forgotten. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. We will see!"

Seeing Xu Ruofeng's confident look, Zaliang Guoba became more and more flustered.

He could only keep comforting himself that the game officials also had to focus on rationality. There was only one unreasonable Pokémon like Magikarp, and it was impossible for a second one to appear.

Absolutely impossible!
However, what he thought was unreasonable was perfectly normal in Chen Yan's eyes.

"It's Gyarados, I should have thought of it earlier. The prototype of Magikarp is the carp in the real world."

"In ancient legends of the Xia Kingdom, a carp can transform into a dragon after crossing the Dragon Gate!" (End of this chapter)
