Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 482 There really is a Golden Gyarados!

The man seemed to be deep in thought. "Perhaps Magikarp and I lost our fighting spirit because we thought too much back then."

"If we had been determined to be among the first to attempt to break through the Dragon Gate, we might have succeeded."

The aunt glared at the uncle, "There are no so many possibilities. I know you well enough to know you didn't succeed in leaping over the dragon gate back then."

"It's not a lack of fighting spirit at all; it's simply because you and Magikarp aren't strong enough. Tell me, can your Magikarp jump ten meters high in one leap?"

The uncle felt a little embarrassed by what the aunt said.

Li Shuwen stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "What the uncle said is actually quite right. Willpower can allow Pokémon to unleash power far beyond their usual limits."

Sometimes, it's just a matter of one breath.

The uncle nodded in agreement, "That's right, you've said everything I was thinking."

Ah Kai clenched his fist. "Master, I've decided to be in the first batch to set off, just like the Lobster Soldier, and show off our youthful passion!"

Li Shuwen nodded. "Very good, very energetic!"

Rather than rankings, the true purpose of the Lungmen Tournament is to help Pokémon break through their limits.

After enjoying the aunt's cooking, Li Shuwen quickly said goodbye to the uncle and aunt before it got dark.

If it gets any later, it will be difficult for them to walk down the mountain path.

The uncle said, "Your aunt and I won't keep you any longer. Do your best in the Dragon Gate Tournament. We have high hopes for you and Magikarp."

The girl suddenly spoke up, "Aren't you going to stay and admire the most beautiful moonlight on the mountaintop?"

Li Shuwen said calmly, "No, let's wait until the Dragon Gate Tournament, after Magikarp and I leap over the Dragon Gate, and then we'll come and admire the most beautiful full moon that night."

The uncle nodded in agreement, "This is indeed the most beautiful moonlight, thanks to Dragon God Island's unique geographical location and climate."

"On the night of the Lungmen Tournament, you can enjoy the annual golden full moon, and Gyarados that evolve on this day will become even stronger."

"Legend has it that if a golden Magikarp wants to evolve into a golden Gyarados, it needs to jump over the Dragon Gate on the day of the golden full moon."

There's only one chance a year.

Li Shuwen teased the golden Magikarp, "Magikarp, did you hear that? You can keep your golden scales if you jump over the Dragon Gate."

In his mind, the golden Magikarp imagined itself evolving, its body covered in golden dragon scales, majestically and powerfully dancing in the air.

That's so cool!

This immediately made the golden carp king excitedly wag its tail, splashing up brilliant sprays of water in the lake.

Li Shuwen was just joking, but he didn't expect the Golden Carp King to take it seriously.

Li Shuwen was somewhat worried that if the golden Magikarp evolved under the full moon at the Dragon Gate Tournament, it might only become a red Gyarados.

I wonder if he can overcome the gap between his ideals and reality.

Li Shuwen stroked his chin, naturally asking Cynthia if there was a way to let Magikarp retain its golden dragon scales during its evolution.

Dr. Nanbo from Team Rocket can even evolve Magikarp into Gyarados.

That doesn't make sense; his Golden Magikarp can't evolve into Golden Gyarados.

The golden Magikarp excitedly leaped out of the water, drawing a circle in the air, perfectly echoing the setting sun on the horizon.

Since Magikarp was so hopeful, Li Shuwen naturally hoped to find a way to make Magikarp's expectations a reality.

After recalling Magikarp into its Poké Ball, the four of them sped down the mountain.

On the way, Li Fei couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wen, can a Golden Magikarp really evolve into a Golden Gyarados?"

Li Shuwen's gaze was resolute: "As long as you believe, there is hope!"

"If you don't even dare to dream about it, how can it become a reality?"

Li Fei nodded vigorously. As expected of Brother Wen, a casual remark contained the supreme essence of the mind-based fighting technique!

He needs to keep it in mind!

With the help of Pokémon, the four of them returned to the town at the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible and checked into the hotel that Li Shuwen had booked.

If he booked a hotel but is still out in the wind on the mountain, then his hotel booking was a waste!

Li Shuwen said, "Xiao Fei, on the day of the Dragon Gate Tournament, please bring the tent up the mountain. We'll definitely be staying on the mountaintop for one night."

Li Fei nodded, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Lying on the soft bed in the hotel, Li Shuwen immediately lost his composure and called Shirona.

Upon hearing Li Shuwen's question, Cynthia couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. "I'll check the Sinnoh League's Pokémon records for you right now and see if there's any record of a golden Gyarados."

"I think it should be, after all, the story you just told seemed so convincing."

As for the so-called Dragon God, Cynthia thinks it's just a powerful Gyarados, only because Gyarados has rather special abilities.

This led the islanders, whose understanding was relatively limited, to regard Gyarados as a god.

Just like how the Nine-Tails, after living for a long time, can possess extremely powerful superpowers.

That Gyarados was probably just because it lived a long time.

Cynthia went to the archives and logged into her internal account to check the records of the golden Gyarados.

Seeing the document above, Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "Shuwen, you're lucky. There's actually a record of a golden Gyarados."

Li Shuwen blinked. He just wanted to ask if there was a way to evolve a red Magikarp into a red Gyarados.

As it turns out, there really is a record of a golden Gyarados in the Sinnoh League's data!

Cynthia opened the file and found that the evolution location listed there was none other than Dragon God Island.

As for the time, it was one hundred years ago.

As for the method of evolution, it's exactly the same as the rumor the uncle mentioned.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Is it really that simple?"

Cynthia continued reviewing the data. "No, the data shows that there are many people on Dragon God Island who are trying to recreate this scene."

"But their golden Magikarp only evolved into red Gyarados in the end, which must be missing some element."

"This leads to the original facts eventually becoming vague and unfounded rumors after being passed down from generation to generation."

Li Shuwen continued, "Cynda, do you see any records of a red Magikarp evolving into a red Gyarados?"

Cynthia knew immediately what Li Shuwen was up to.

"Do you think you can use the same method to evolve Magikarp into Golden Gyarados?"

Actually, Heero didn't think that Gyarados's evolution into any color would affect his fighting ability.

Cynthia still helped to look up the information, and to her surprise, she actually found a document in the Sinnoh League's database.

"There is a record of a scientist who, in order to explore the possibilities of Pokémon, used cruel methods to stimulate the bodies of Pokémon and activate their potential."

"Because Magikarp is cheap, he used it as experimental material, and as a result, a red Magikarp evolved into a red Gyarados."

"In a fit of rage, the red Gyarados destroyed his base and fled, leading to his capture by Officer Jenny, who was investigating the origins of the red Gyarados."

"All the experimental data has fallen into the hands of the Sinnoh League, but the data I'm looking at doesn't contain detailed experimental procedures."
