Zhang Heng and Yishu took a short break on the beach to calm down their nervousness, then turned their gaze towards the mysterious forest again.

At this time, the sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting spots of light, adding a bit of mystery to this unknown place.

"Anyway, since we're here, let's go deeper into the island and take a look. Maybe we can find clues to solve the mystery." Zhang Heng tightened the Poké Ball around his waist, his eyes revealing excitement.

Yishu nodded slightly, but her face was troubled. It turned out that although Longlong was powerful, it couldn't get ashore, and Ou Yuhua hadn't given Longlong's Poké Ball to Yishu, which meant that Yishu couldn't retrieve Longlong into the ball and bring it ashore.

In this way, the responsibility of protecting Yishu naturally fell on Zhang Heng's shoulders.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng gave Yishu a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

The blue bird sensed the solemn atmosphere and took the initiative to circle above the two of them, always alert to the potential dangers around them.

The Swamp Leaper also perked up and walked right in front of Zhang Heng and Yishu, using its antenna-like fins and keen perception to lead the way for them.

The Golden Magikarp seemed quite excited to be here and was unwilling to return to the Poké Ball. There was no choice but Zhang Heng gently tucked the Golden Magikarp under his armpit, holding it steadily with one hand, looking around with every step, and walked carefully towards the woods.

Yishu followed behind Zhang Heng, watching him holding the Golden Magikarp with a slightly funny and cautious look. The tension in her heart instantly dissipated a lot, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, and she chuckled from time to time.

When Zhang Heng heard the laughter, he turned around and looked at Yishu in confusion. Yishu quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, just keep walking. I think you're cute like this." Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, then smiled and turned around to continue walking.

The further you go into the island, the more lush the vegetation becomes, with all kinds of exotic plants intertwined with each other, emitting bursts of unique fragrance.

Zhang Heng kept an eye on his surroundings while carefully observing his feet, fearing he might step on any hidden danger.

Suddenly, a bluebird chirped rapidly in the air, as if warning something. Zhang Heng and Yishu stopped in their tracks, only to see the grass ahead of them sway violently.

A swamp king slowly emerged from the grass. Its huge and slightly clumsy body moved among the grass, and its body was covered with wet mud.

Then, a woof appeared, its big eyes darting around, filled with curiosity at everything it saw. Not far away, a hooded child waved his arms, as if greeting them.

Zhang Heng noticed the appearance of these Pokémon, and Swampert sent a message of goodwill to these Pokémon, as if telling Swampert, Wooper, and Hooded Kid that they had no ill intentions.

In addition, Zhang Heng himself has an extra affinity bonus for water-type Pokémon, so any wild water-type Pokémon with a docile personality will not rashly attack him.

The Swamp King's originally vigilant eyes gradually relaxed, and a low snoring sound came from his throat as a response to this kindness.

Wubo and the Hooded Kid also waved their arms and took a few steps closer to them.

"These Water Pokémon don't seem to have any malicious intent," Yishu said softly, her eyes full of curiosity. Zhang Heng nodded slightly, squatting down, trying to communicate further with Swamplord.

At this moment, the Golden Carp King suddenly twisted excitedly, poking its head in one direction, and continuously slapping Zhang Heng's arm with its tail, signaling him to go that way.

"Yishu, it seems that the Golden Carp King has made a new discovery. Let's follow him." Zhang Heng said, and under the guidance of the Golden Carp King, he took Yishu and went in the direction indicated.

Along the way, they found that the plants around them gradually became more peculiar. The leaves of some plants could even glow, and some vines swayed gently in the breeze, as if they had life.

As they walked, the Golden Carp King became more and more excited and flapped his hands harder. A rock cave, mostly covered by vines, appeared in front of them.

It struggled violently from under Zhang Heng's armpit, indicating that it wanted to enter the cave, urging the two to go in. Zhang Heng and Yishu looked at each other, and with a bit of nervousness and anticipation, they stepped into this mysterious cave.

The cave was dimly lit and filled with a damp smell. They moved forward cautiously, hearing the faint sound of flowing water.

Suddenly, the Swamp King walked out slowly from the shadow beside the cave wall. Its appearance startled Zhang Heng and Yishu.

But the Swamp King just looked at them calmly and continued to walk forward slowly. Then, several woops jumped out of the small puddle in front of them and jumped happily around them, splashing small water.

Azurite immediately flew in front of Zhang Heng, adopting a defensive stance. Swampert also stared around vigilantly. Zhang Heng gently soothed the Pokémon, signaling them not to attack rashly.

This group of Wupos seemed to have no ill intentions towards them. They just jumped around a few times and then swam deeper into the cave.

As we continued to go deeper, the sound of rushing water became clearer. Suddenly, the view ahead opened up, revealing a massive waterfall. It cascaded down from a height, cascading into a vast pool below, splashing a vast expanse of pure white water.

In the pond, many carp kings jumped out of the water happily, their bodies agile and moving, bringing up strings of crystal water droplets; goldfish swung their beautiful tails, gracefully swimming in the water, their fins gleaming.

At the bottom of the pool, the cherry fish swims lightly like pink petals, while the spotted fish stands still like a mysterious hunter, with the spots on its body seeming to be a protective color that blends into the environment.

The golden carp king suddenly broke free from Zhang Heng's armpit and dove into the school of fish, playing with its companions and stirring up layers of cheerful splashes of water.

Zhang Heng and Yishu were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless for a moment.

Yishu murmured, "This place... is incredible. Why would all these Pokémon gather here?"

Zhang Heng shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion. "Perhaps it has something to do with the unique ecological environment of this island. It seems this is the birthplace of the Golden Carp King."

They stood by the pool, carefully observing the surrounding environment. Even the elf egg in Yishu's arms particularly liked this water paradise. The egg body was shaking gently, as if it was about to hatch at any time.

"roar~"

At this time, Zhang Heng heard the roar of Pokémon coming from behind the waterfall. Following the source of the sound, he found that there seemed to be a faint passage behind the waterfall, which was partially blocked by the water flow.

But before Zhang Heng could determine what Pokémon made the first roar, he heard a sliding sound coming from a deep cave diagonally opposite the pool.

"Woo woo~" a humming sound was heard.

A Pokémon that looked like a sea snake, with a cream-colored body, red eyes, and three black spots on its neck, suddenly emerged from the deep cave, its eyes fixed warily on the waterfall.
