Elf: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 27 Bet and Transformation

The fish Pokémon that Xia Ye caught was all khaki and pitted, its blue fins were in tatters, and even its eyes were dull. If I could describe it in one word, it would be ugly.

"What, it's an ugly fish, but it's already good to catch a fish for the first time." Nat patted Xia Ye's shoulder and consoled him. The ugly fish is a symbol of bad luck for fishermen, because It's nothing but ugly.

They seem to be inedible, and there are so many of them. They eat everything, so they like to bite hooks, and fishermen really hate them.

However, Xia Ye himself was quite happy, because it was more difficult to obtain Chou Chou Fish than ordinary Pokémon in the game, and he missed the days of fishing in Tianguan Mountain.

"Your attitude is surprisingly good."

"No, I think it's good to catch the ugly fish." Xia Ye took off the ugly fish and put it in the bucket. It looked at Xia Ye dully, its motionless eyes unable to read any thoughts.

"Huh? No, no matter how you look at a Pokémon like Uglyfish, you wouldn't think so, right?" Nat looked puzzled.

Looking at the other party's expression, Xia Ye felt that it was necessary to learn more about the evolution of Pokémon. Even a useless Pokémon could have a chance to change its destiny.

"Nat, do you know what Pokémon the Lake King just evolved from?"

"Uh Catfish King?"

"No, it's actually the common Magikarp."

It seems that the wilderness area we are in now is located in an earlier era, and people do not have a deep understanding of the evolution of Pokémon.

"What! How could the common and weak Carp King evolve into such a powerful being?"

Nat couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if the common carp kings in the rivers on the roadside turned into the king of lakes. Thinking back on that pure white light, he still shuddered.

"Well, the evolution of Pokémon is such a magical phenomenon."

"Could it be that the ugly fish can also become the king of the lake?" Nat quickly thought of Xia Ye's expression before.

"The evolution of the two is indeed similar. The weak Magikarp can evolve into the powerful Gyarados, but what about the ugly Ugly Carp?"

"Ugly." Nat looked at the still dull Ugly Fish in the bucket, and reluctantly said two words: "Beautiful?"

"That's right, it's beautiful. The Pokémon that evolves from Uglyfish is named Menus. You should know that, right?"

"Yeah, I know." Nat felt like his world view was shattered.

You must know that Menas is the same as the Mini Dragon and the Spiny Dragon King. It is the fantasy Pokémon in the fisherman's heart, and it is also the White Moonlight in his heart. Now that he is told that the ugly fish that can be seen everywhere in the water can evolve into Menas, he will The time is unacceptable.

"No, how is this possible? By the way, Xia Ye, are you kidding me? Catching an ugly fish for the first time is not a shameful thing."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to accept this fact, Xia Ye felt an inexplicable desire to win and wanted Nat to admit it.

"No, I'm not joking. In that case, let's make a bet."

"A bet?" Nat said.

"I bet the Ugly Fish can evolve into Menas, no, wait a minute, I have one thing to be sure of."

Xia Ye walked towards the bucket and stared at the ugly fish in the bucket, still unable to see what it was thinking.

"I just said that you have the possibility of beauty, but why are so few Ugly Fish evolving into Menas? That's because in addition to opportunity, there is also determination."

"You want to become beautiful and no longer be a being that is disliked by other Pokémon. Only with such determination will your body respond to you."

"No, Xia Ye, it's useless for you to say more. Chou Chou Fish is not only ugly but also has poor understanding." Nat regarded Xia Ye's words as useless work.

In fact, Pokémon like Ugly Fish are not stupid, they are just trapped by low self-esteem, so Xia Ye ignored Nat and continued:

"The fact that I can catch you means that you and I are destined, so I will give you the opportunity to evolve." Xia Ye stretched out his hand towards the backpack, and the evolution box transformed in his hand, turning into a beautiful and gorgeous scale, which was shining Rainbow light.

"This is the scale." The beautiful scales taken out were reflected in the eyes of the ugly fish, "I believe you have such a possibility."

"Boom~"

"Well, there's also Pa Dong Monkey who believes in you, so what's your decision?"

The Chou Chou Fish's unchanging dull pupils suddenly trembled, and it shook violently in the bucket, responding to Xia Ye.

"I understand, my bet is on you!"

"Xia Ye, are you a magician?"

Getting the slow Ugly Fish to respond is nothing short of a miracle.

Xia Ye handed the beautiful scales in his hand to the ugly fish, and it gently caught it with its mouth.

"You can certainly respond to your determination."

"Actually, I still don't want to believe that the Ugly Fish can evolve into Menas, but I also want to bet that the Ugly Fish can evolve into Menas!" Nat was touched by Xia Ye's words. He was not a Ugly Fish. He I don’t want to deny someone who is also determined to change.

"Both parties are betting the same thing, so there is no difference." Then Xia Ye thought about it, and his goal was actually achieved, and Nat admitted the facts he told.

Suddenly, the ugly fish in the bucket burst out with a strong light. This light Xia Ye had just seen, it was the light of evolution.

But when he wanted to witness the evolution of the ugly fish, he found that he and the snap monkey were also wrapped in light.

"Xia Ye, aren't you going to evolve too?" Nat looked surprised.

"At this time? Nat, I wish you realize your dream! Chou Chou Yu, I will come to witness your growth!" Xia Ye said goodbye quickly.

"Boom~"

Then, they turned into spots of light and disappeared, leaving behind the shocked Nat and the ugly fish that had just completed its evolution.

"It disappeared. Did it really evolve?!"

Returning to the familiar wooden house, Xia Ye felt a pity that he was not able to witness the entire process of the evolution of the ugly fish. The process must have been shocking.

[Complete the second time-space distortion and obtain the item evolution box (once). 】

[Complete the second time-space distortion, and the forest area will be expanded. 】

[Complete the second time-space distortion and obtain the prop Mysterious Water Drop. Mysterious Water Drop: a pendant containing pure water, which enhances the power of the wearer's water-based moves. 】

[Complete the second time-space distortion and obtain the prop Hard Stone. Hard Stone: Because it is full of rock energy, it is very hard and enhances the power of the wearer's rock-based moves. 】

Sure enough, except for expanding the area of ​​the forest, the rest of the props are related to this experience.

"However, the promise I left behind when I left must be fulfilled."

He made an agreement with Chou Chou Fish to witness his growth. Because the place he traveled through was in the wilderness, Xia Ye planned to use a convenient tool to investigate the location at that time, which was the Internet.

Entering the wooden house, Xia Ye sat on a chair and searched for information about Catfish King Lake. The search results surprised him.

"Lake Menas, formerly known as Catfish King Lake, where the famous water Pokémon Doctor Nutt discovered the phenomenon of Uglyfish evolving into Menas. To commemorate this great discovery, the name was changed."
