237 - The Carp and the Dragon

When Alex and Anna approached, the battle was already over. At this point, only the two trainers were in the center of the circle of people, and the two Pokemon were lying on the ground.

The problem was that the Pokemon lying on the ground weren't there because the battle had been so intense, but for the opposite reason.

The two Pokemon were fine, but the two trainers just stared at the two fish on the ground, not knowing what to do.

"There's no way we can fight if those two Magikarp don't know how to fight..." An 8-year-old boy said a little disappointed.

"Yeah... I thought my Magikarp would take advantage of the battle to evolve, but even if we try to lead the battle, it's no use..." The other boy, who was 10, also complained a bit frustrated as he looked at his magikarp.

"Lord Alex!" One person saw Alex and quickly greeted him with respect.

Hearing this person greet Alex, the other spectators also looked in the direction of this person and quickly greeted Alex with respect and made way for him, leaving Anna shocked.

Even the two little boys were surprised by Alex and quickly bowed as they greeted him.

"Hello, Lord Alex." The two little boys said in unison.

In addition to the little boys, the two Magikarp lying on the ground also looked at Alex and were very excited for him, since he was their creator, the Pokemon felt a very strong connection to Alex.

This was Alex's way of having the confidence to release Pokemons into the world, because even if people bought Pokemons and trained them to a high level of power, those Pokemons would still remain loyal to Alex and would never betray him.

"Hey guys, I couldn't help but notice that you were trying to fight with two Magikarp? Did you intend to evolve your Magikarp with this battle?" Alex asked.

"Yes!" The two little boys replied a little disappointed.

"After seeing Riku Uzumaki's Magikarp evolve, I believe that many people also tamed Magikarps to get such an imposing dragon, right?" Alex asked a question that drew nods from several people in the crowd.

"I think I can give you a tip on how to evolve the Magikarp, how about it?" Alex asked with a smile, causing everyone to get excited as they looked at him.

"Please, Lord Alex." The little boys asked with bright eyes.

"I don't know if you've heard the fable of the carp gate, where every year several carp try to swim upstream, against the current, and only the strongest carp could make it, jump through a gate and turn into a big dragon." Alex said, making everyone look surprised.

"As you may have noticed, Magikarp was the one that gave rise to this legend, but the number of Magikarps that can turn into Dragons is not just one, however, to achieve this, you must train your Magikarp very well, to the point where your Pokemon becomes powerful enough to perform this feat, only when your Pokemon feels it is worthy of the Dragon's power will it transform." Alex explained with a smile.

Hearing this, people looked at the two stupid fish on the ground with different expressions.

Even though Riku's Magikarp had evolved into a powerful dragon, there were still people who underestimated these fish because they looked so stupid, but with Alex's explanation of the legend, people had to reevaluate these fish.

With Alex's explanation, the two little boys looked at their Magikarps excitedly and understood what Alex meant.

"Magikarp, I'm sorry that I wanted you to evolve before you were ready. I'll help you train to become the most powerful Magikarp of all, and when you feel strong enough, I'll help you become an impressive Gyarados!" The 8-year-old said excitedly as he picked up the fish from the ground and hugged it.

Although Magikarp did not seem to react, being his trainer, the little boy could sense that Magikarp was happy, and the two of them ran off into the forest around the village to practice.

When the 10-year-old boy saw the two of them leaving so excitedly, he also got excited and ran off with his Magikarp to practice.

Some people in the area also rushed to enter the world of Pokemon and try to buy a Magikarp to bring into the real world. If they could follow this tradition and develop a Magikarp, wouldn't that be glorious?

Unbeknownst to Alex, the legend of the Magikarp began to spread among the Uzumaki, and the number of people creating and training Magikarps in this village began to skyrocket again in astronomical numbers!

"You really have a way with words... it's no wonder that Notch is so popular..." Anna said with a proud smile as she hugged Alex's arm.

"Of course I'm good with words, just look at the cat I got." Alex laughed as he hugged Anna back and began to walk around the Uzumaki village with her.

While the two of them were having fun in this world, the people of the Marvel world finally began to notice the changes that had taken place in the parking lots.

Since the world was virtual, normal people didn't park their cars in the parking lots and just abandoned the cars, leaving the parking lots only for players who really liked cars or who took the roleplay of the world very seriously.

Usually, the players who really liked cars started using the parking lots as a place to meet and talk about the cars, the modifications they had made to their cars, and to bet on some races.

This was something these people liked to do every night, but this time it was different.

When Kurt and Scott arrived at the parking lot, they noticed that something was different.

Instead of just a few dozen people like every night, this time there was a huge line to get in.

"What's going on?" Kurt asked confusedly as he stood up in the convertible and tried to see further.

But even as he stood up, Kurt couldn't understand why so many people had come.

Not only was there a long line of cars to get in, but there were also thousands of people walking to the place, probably abandoning the line and unloading their cars to avoid such a long line, which made them both even more curious.

"What could happen to attract so many people?" Scott asked curiously, as he also decided to unload his car and walk with Kurt to see what was going on.
