Chapter 584: Red Gyarados and the Return of the Giant Shark King
As the colorful mist continued to flow into the Magikarp's body, the lake water dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the Magikarp's body became larger and larger.
A few hours later, when the lake finally dried up, the golden scales on the Magikarp began to gradually turn red, and as it was enveloped by a strong silver light, the Magikarp finally began to evolve.
In the silver light, Magikarp's body was constantly twisting and deforming. Its originally short fins became wide and powerful, its scales shone brighter, and its originally docile appearance became more majestic.
As the silver light gradually dissipated, a Gyarados covered with red scales appeared in front of Yang Ming. It raised its head and roared, the sound seemed to penetrate the sky. The surrounding air was violently shaken by the roar, and the sand and stones on the ground were also shaken and splashed everywhere. At this moment, the calm sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thick lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a torrential rain.
"Very good, you finally completed the evolution," Yang Ming used the power of Evergreen to communicate with Gyarados, "How is it, how do you feel now?"
"I feel good now." It seems that due to evolution, Gyarados's intelligence has improved a lot, and it is no longer able to express its feelings only by jumping like before.
"If you want, Master, I can help you kill any enemies that stand in your way."
"It's a good idea to have this intention, but you don't need to go into battle for now." Yang Ming took the Gyarados back into the Poké Ball. The red Gyarados was still too conspicuous, and there were many masters in the entire Cave of the End, so it was better not to expose it as much as possible.
"Not even a drop left?" Yang Ming looked at the dried-up lake bottom and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. The energy of this lake water was too strong, and even if a few drops could be left, they would be very valuable.
"But judging from the aura that Gyarados gave off just now, its strength is already on par with my other Pokémon, which means it has reached the level of a quasi-king. This lake water can make a Magikarp so much stronger in a short period of time. It's really amazing."
Looking at the blood-red setting sun, Yang Ming left the dried-up lake and headed deeper into the forest.
"According to what those minions said just now, quite a few people have been attracted into this space by Xerneas's power. I have to be careful next time."
Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then put on the Magikarp headgear. His public identity was a bit inconvenient, and in comparison, the psychopathic killer "Giant Shark King" was more suitable to play here.
Yang Ming had just changed his clothes when he heard the sound of fighting in the distance. Apparently, many trainers were teleported here.
Yang Ming followed the sound and saw several people fighting under an ancient tree. Similar to the small lake he encountered before, this ancient tree also exuded a magical aura.
“My little bastards, your strictest father, the Giant Shark King, has taken a fancy to this place. Get out of here if you know what’s good for you!” Yang Ming pounced on the crowd in a vicious manner.
"It's the Giant Shark King, everyone run!" These people had already heard of the Giant Shark King's notoriety. When they saw a strange man wearing a Magikarp mask appear here, they were immediately scared and scattered.
After everyone dispersed, Yang Ming immediately used the power of Evergreen to communicate with his Pokémon to see if this ancient tree could help them.
"Is it useless? What a pity." Yang Ming felt a little regretful. The opportunities in this space seemed to have specific conditions. They were only beneficial to a certain type of Pokémon, and were completely useless to other Pokémon.
Yang Ming did not give up and looked for a few similar places, but still found nothing.
However, his outfit was still very intimidating. When the trainers saw his Magikarp mask, they were immediately frightened and ran as far as they could. No one dared to resist the "Shark King".
"Hey, what is this?" Yang Ming looked at the half-broken branch under his feet and felt very confused. The branch was charred all over, as if it had been struck by lightning. It seemed out of place in this vibrant forest.
"Could it be the remains left behind by other people in a fierce battle? It doesn't look like it. There are no signs of fighting around. What's going on?"
Yang Ming held the dead branch and observed it for a long time, but finally threw it aside. There was nothing special about the dead branch itself, and even if he used the power of Changpan, he could not see anything.
Just when he was about to explore in another direction, a familiar voice came from the front.
"Scream, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."
Yang Ming frowned. This greasy voice with a hint of self-importance came from Cologne, an elite master of the "Shark Killing Alliance".
This Cologne, as the mayor of Bai Ke City, had previously intended to blackmail him, and now it seems that he is coercing the lone trainer.
Yang Ming followed the sound and saw Cologne and a dozen members of the "Shark Killing Alliance" surrounding a blue-haired girl.
The blue-haired girl was none other than Hinata, who had met Yang Ming once before. However, her current condition was very bad. Not only were most of her Pokémon injured and lying on the ground, losing their ability to fight, but Hinata herself was also injured, with blood gushing out along the inside of her thigh.
"Damn it, if my Pokémon hadn't been attacked and seriously injured by those guys before, why would they be harassed by this group of hooligans now?" Hinata's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"I advise you to give up struggling, hand over your Pokémon and valuables, and let us deal with them. This way you will suffer less." Cologne said slowly.
"Cologne, you are the mayor of the alliance, but you are committing crimes here. Don't you have any sense of shame?" Hinata scolded harshly.
"Committing crimes? Are you kidding?" Colon said with a malicious smile. "We are fighting against the evil Megashark, so we have no choice but to collect 'funds' from passing trainers. You should feel honored because everything you contribute will be used by us to destroy Megashark."
"You... are shameless!" Hinata bit her lips tightly, her eyes almost spitting fire, "I will not yield to you!"
"I almost forgot that you are also a favored girl sent by the Alliance to Carlos. It is really inappropriate to let you leave alive like this." A trace of murderous intent flashed in Cologne's eyes. "It just so happens that this is a good place to destroy the body. For the just cause of the Shark Killing Alliance, I have no choice but to destroy the flower this time."
"Alas, what a pity for this beautiful lady."
Just as the members of the Shark Killing Alliance were gradually approaching the sun, a cold voice sounded from behind them.
"Oh? So you want to kill the Giant Shark King? Well then, I will stand here and let you kill me."
