Chapter 150 The Secret of Magikarp's Evolution (Second Bonus Chapter)
Because of the bad weather at sea, Ash and his friends decided to stay on Citrus Island.
Although Aunt Ruli still warmly invited them to stay at her hotel, Xiaozhi felt embarrassed to keep eating for free.
Ash happened to be setting up a base on Durian Island, so he bought a new villa there.
During the few days they couldn't go out to sea, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia stayed in the villa.
On Durian Island in the morning, the sun shines on the beach, beautiful women in swimsuits are on the shore, and Xia is wiping her mouth. Everything is so beautiful.
Judging from the situation today, we can finally set off.
The most beautiful girl in the universe stuck out her cute little tongue, curled up a curly hair from the corner of her mouth, and spat it out with a soft sound.
"Lately, my shorts and tops have felt a bit tight; looks like I need to get some new clothes."
Xiaoxia tossed her head gracefully and strode into the bathroom, her long, jade-like legs swinging as she walked briskly.
Ash was left lying motionless on the bed. [Ding! Misty: Affection +1]

The naive Pikachu, seeing Ash like this, thought something had happened to him.
She rushed into the room, tears streaming down her face, and rubbed Xiaozhi's shoulders, trying to wake him up.
"Pikachu, Pikachu!" (Don't go, Ash!)
After a while, a large, strong hand gently stroked Pikachu's head.
"Don't worry about Pikachu, Misty is nothing, I'll recover from this in 5 minutes."
If it weren't for Rika coming to the Philosopher's Gym to find him the day before yesterday, Ash would have been exhausted from working all day.
Then, on my way back to the Orange Islands, I visited Joey on the South Island.
After another long day of hard work, when he finally returned to the villa he had just bought on Durian Island, he was stopped by Xia, who was guarding the house. How could he be like this!
"Pikachu?" (Are you really alright?)
However, Ash is still the same super rookie Ash after all, and he's fully recovered after just a few minutes of rest.
Perhaps a monster with such abnormal regenerative abilities as Ash will never be completely drained.
Looking at the current time, I've collected all four badges of the Orange League. Next, I'll challenge the League's top trainer.
His trip here was coming to an end, and he got up and left the room with Pikachu.
He repositioned the space teleporter to a suitable location.
"How could I have been so stupid to put it in the living room!"
"We've now completed 11 anchor point missions in the Orange Islands—"
A total of 15 cities need to be lit up, and there are two islands to pass through on the way to Citrus Island.
"Adding Citrus Island, the final destination, and Daikan Island, the starting point, makes a total of 15."
After contacting the person looking after the villa with Sundae and getting ready, Ash and Misty set off for Citrus Island.
The journey was relatively peaceful, so Ash released Magikarp to swim freely in the sea.
For some reason, Magikarp has been acting very irritable today.
It kept trying to swim in a certain direction, and if Ash hadn't stopped it in time, it would have disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the giant creature that had grown to three meters in length, Ash could only touch its head to calm it down for the time being.
"Xiao Zhi, look!" Xiao Misty, who was looking at the map, suddenly looked at the sea in surprise.
"So many Magikarp! There must be at least a hundred of them!"
Right next to Lapras, a magnificent red torrent of Magikarp appeared on the sea surface.
Ash had even better eyesight; he noticed that all of these Magikarp had different colored rings tied to their tails.
"This must have been tied there by someone."
Suddenly, a submarine surfaced from the seabed, and an old man excitedly leaned out to observe the Magikarp's movements through binoculars.
"Great! Great! The speed and direction are both correct. Young man, the Magikarp will continue to move as a group. It's dangerous, so please be careful."
The old man even took a moment to turn around and give Ash and his friends a reminder before immediately returning to the submarine and excitedly following the Magikarp.
"What's going on?"
Xiaoxia drew a conclusion after gesturing to the map.
"The Magikarp is heading towards Citrus Island, which is an uninhabited island, isn't it?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Ash's Magikarp was also heading in that direction, so we decided to go and see what was going on.
Following the army of Magikarp, Ash and his friends arrived at Citrus Island.
These Magikarp were actually swimming upstream along a large river from the island's estuary, and Ash's Magikarp was among them.
"What a spectacular sight! So many Magikarp swimming in the same direction!"
"Speaking of which, where is that old man?" His submarine had been right in front of Ash and the others on the way here, but now it's nowhere to be seen.
Just as we were talking about him, the old man suddenly darted out of the bushes behind Xiaoxia.
He shoved boxes of all sizes into Ash's and Misty's hands, and even stuffed a small box into Pikachu's hand.
"What are you waiting for? Young man, hurry up and catch up or it will be too late."
With no other option, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia could only follow behind the old man.
"Why should we help a strange old man move his things?" Xiaoxia was exhausted after carrying the heavy box for a while.
"Who are you, old man?" Xiaozhi took Xiaoxia's suitcase and went up to talk to the old man without changing his expression.
"Me? I'm Green River, a Pokémon observer and an expert in observing Magikarp."
"What's so interesting about observing a common Pokémon like Magikarp?" Misty was puzzled.
"Did you put those rings on the tails of those Magikarp gorillas, Mr. Green River?"
"That's right, the blue one represents Magikarp from one year ago, the yellow one represents two years ago, and the green one represents three years ago."
"Every Magikarp born on this island returns here on a fixed date, so Sweet Orange Island is where Magikarp migrate back."
Green River is indeed an expert on Magikarp, and he speaks with great expertise.
So Ash's Magikarp was also born on this island.
Taking out a series of sophisticated devices from the box, Green River carefully observed the carp kings struggling to swim back and forth in the river.
"Oh, the lads this year are fantastic; only half the number from previous years have gone against the tide to get here."
"Wow, my goodness! That Magikarp is huge!"
Green River, a Pokémon observer, was shocked by the three-meter-long Magikarp.
"That Magikarp is actually my Pokémon."
Ash's Magikarp is also struggling to keep up with the main group as they swim upstream in the river, but because it is so big and heavy, it is very difficult for it to swim.
"How did you raise yourself to be this big? Young man, you must tell me in detail later." Green River suddenly became very excited.
"Speaking of which, what are the Magikarp doing back on this island?" Misty wondered, watching Green River scribbling and drawing.
"Hehe, of course it's evolution."
"Evolve!" Ash and Misty quickly came over and sat upright in front of Green River like students waiting for their teacher to answer their questions.
"The evolutionary ritual of the Magikarp is to go upstream little by little from this great river, cross the rapids, leap over the waterfalls, and finally reach the lake at the top of the island."
Green River told Ash and the others some amazing news: as everyone knows, Magikarp's evolution is extremely difficult.
I never imagined that such an evolutionary ritual, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, would exist.
Ash and Misty immediately became interested and began to help Green River observe Magikarp's condition.
During the trip, I also cheered on Ash's Magikarp, especially when it was climbing the waterfall, as it was swept away several times.
Thanks to Ash's constant encouragement, Magikarp was able to try again and again and finally succeed in crossing the waterfall.
[Ding! Magikarp: Affection +3; Intimacy +4]
"This Magikarp is huge, but it seems a bit more dull than a regular Magikarp."
Green River pulled out his report: "Judging from its swimming responsiveness and calls, it can be basically determined that it should be a stupid carp king."
"Could it be that someone used it as a weapon and damaged Magikarp's brain?"
"I don't think so." Ash turned his head away guiltily.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that when he usually uses the Saltfish Twin Swords, he does indeed use Magikarp's head to smash his opponents.
"Using such a behemoth as a weapon, little girl, you're really funny." Green River laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"Magikarp's skull is much harder than we think, so it's impossible for it to become stupid later in life."
"That means..."
"That's right, your Magikarp was an idiot from the start."
No wonder Ash sometimes felt that Magikarp looked particularly dull; he thought all Magikarp looked like that.
Green River and Ash observed Magikarp at the large lake on the mountaintop until nightfall.
At the campsite, Xiaoxia couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep on Xiaozhi's shoulder, while Xiaozhi's eyelids were also drooping.
Suddenly, moonlight shone on the lake, and the carp leaped up together.
"Young man, get up! The evolution ritual has begun!" Green River excitedly took out his equipment and ran to the lakeside to record this moment.
Xiao Zhi quickly shook Xiao Xia awake and brought her to the lakeside.
The sight of hundreds and thousands of Magikarp leaping together was truly spectacular, leaving Xiaoxia completely mesmerized.
Soon Ash's largest Magikarp also leaped out of the water, its body emitting a dazzling light.
Led by Ash's Magikarp, the remaining Magikarp began to evolve one after another.
"It's so beautiful."
The light from so many Pokémon evolving together illuminated the entire lake.
It quickly evolved, and Ash's Gyarados, twice the size of its counterparts, swam menacingly towards him.
Xiaoxia was initially a little afraid of Gyarados getting close, but she wasn't afraid anymore once Gyarados actually got close.
Because Ash's Gyarados is noticeably different from other Gyarados after its evolution.
Compared to its kind, it looks much kinder, or rather, it looks silly.
"Sigh, now I've really become a big, dumb oaf."
