Pokémon: Encounter

the next day.

With the freshly picked fruits from the forest and the dry food they brought with them, the breakfast of the southerners ended happily.

"Brother, I thought about it and realized that just waiting like this is not a good idea."

"As I said before, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We should take the initiative and conduct some patrols on the Twin Islands. Now we have the advantage in numbers, so I suggest that we should act separately and then come back here at a fixed time every day to gather and summarize."

Nan Fang said to Long Kong and Xiao Rui.

After hearing this, Long Kong thought for a while.

"That makes sense. If they give up their plan, we will just be here for nothing. Alas, we have really gotten into trouble with a bunch of troublesome people. I originally thought that after the Long family arrives, we can conduct a large-scale carpet search. Even if we can't catch them, at least we can put some pressure on them to persuade them to retreat."

"But these two are like rats in the sewer, cunning and stubborn."

"To put it bluntly, it all depends on whether God will help us."

Nan Fang also sighed.

"Woo!"

At this time, Articuno suddenly raised its head and looked in a certain direction.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

"Woo~~~"

Articuno nodded at Longkong, then spread its wings and flew into the sky.

"Ah, I actually forgot. It's already this time of year." Long Kong suddenly realized.

Nan Fang and Xiao Rui looked confused.

"Come on, follow them. I'll take you to witness it. I didn't expect to catch up with it. This is a rare wonder in the world!"

The three followed Articuno through the forest.

After a while, the frozen bird landed. They came to a lake, where there was actually a small waterfall.

Looking around, a silvery white waterfall flows down from the snow-capped mountains. The waterfall, about six or seven meters wide and six or seven stories high, is like a link between the snow-capped mountains and the forest, constantly nourishing the forest and the land.

Nanfang looked around and saw that besides Articuno and them, there were a lot of Pokémon of all kinds around. They all seemed to be looking towards the lake in the center.

"It's really spectacular. I didn't expect there is such a unique place on this island." Nan Fang commented.

"Don't worry, there are more spectacular things to come."

Long Kong asked Nan Fang to wait quietly, and then also looked towards the center of the lake.

Nan Fang and Xiao Rui were puzzled and could only look at the lake with everyone else.

After a while, everyone around suddenly exclaimed. Long Kong also shouted softly, "Here it comes!"

I saw bubbles starting to appear on the surface of the lake.

"Is there something under the water?"

"Is it... Magikarp!?" Nan Fang was greatly surprised.

One after another, red bodies began to surface. They had long catfish-like filaments around their mouths and golden crown-shaped fins on their heads. Before long, the area under the waterfall was already filled with Magikarp.

Suddenly, among the group of Magikarp, a Magikarp with a golden body attracted Nan Fang's attention.

"There's actually a Shiny Magikarp?"

The South is full of novelties.

"What are they doing?"

Nan Fang had already made some guesses, and Xiao Rui looked at Long Kong with curiosity and asked.

"These Magikarp are going to climb the waterfall!"

“Waterfall climbing?”

"That's right. The waterfall climbing held every two years is the most important event for the Magikarp on the island. It is their lifelong goal to get there!"

Long Kong pointed to the top of the waterfall.

"Unlike the Magikarp outside the Dragon Cave, which mostly just eat and wait for death, they have their own pursuits. Some even gamble their entire lives on their fate today."

“Why are they fighting so hard?”

Xiao Rui just finished speaking.

"Tulu!"

As soon as the golden Magikarp gave an order, all the other Magikarp started to move. They swam towards the waterfall one after another and wanted to reach the top.

Several people all looked towards the center.

One, two, three, even though the Magikarp tried their best to jump, they seemed so fragile facing the extremely fierce waterfall.

The leading Magikarp began to lose strength halfway up the climb and fell down helplessly, but the Magikarp behind him ignored it. They kept trying with determined eyes, trying to reach the top. If it didn't work once, they would try twice, and if it didn't work twice, they would try three times. In short, no Magikarp stopped.

The golden Magikarp that stayed in the center kept shouting, as if to cheer up and tell its companions not to be discouraged.

Finally! After trying more than a dozen times, a Magikarp jumped up and successfully climbed to the top of the waterfall.

It shouted, got excited, and kept shaking its body.

At this moment, its body suddenly flashed with white light, and its entire body was bathed in pure white energy.

"This is... Evolution!!!"

Xiao Rui opened his eyes wide, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Magikarp's body continued to expand and stretch, and finally turned into a long blue dragon.

"Gyarados!"

This turned out to be a feast where the Magikarp were risking their fate.
