Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

“Haw—!”

High in the sky are Zubats flapping their wings.

It led Junsha all the way to the west wall near the wild wilderness area.

Because Zubat flew to the edge of the wilderness area fence with the golden dentures and threw them into the park at random from a height of dozens of meters.

Even though there is only a wall between us...

But the righteous officer Junsha and the enthusiastic trainer Ayao... obviously cannot just climb over the wall and enter the protected area...

So the two of them had to go through the main gate to register with Caesar before entering the wilderness area.

"...It was actually dumped in a place like this. It will be hard to find it now."

Junsha sighed.

Judging from the location, the two men estimated that the director's dentures were just thrown into the waist-high grass behind the wall.

"Let's go...we'll go in through the main entrance."

Junsha didn't turn off the engine of the car and drove a few hundred meters to the registration entrance of the wild wilderness area.

……

"Mr. Caesar...that's what happened!"

Junsha saluted the administrator, old man Caesar, and informed him of the matter of retrieving the dentures for Director Baoba.

"Okay... Since you, Officer Junsha, are leading the team personally, I will naturally not stop you..."

Administrator Caesar was very kind to Miss Junsha, who helped him fight poachers.

"... And Yao, you are also the benefactor of our Wild Area Pokémon... After you finish helping the director, you can come and sit with me when you have time."

When Junsha made the introduction, she naturally mentioned Wang Yao's achievement in breaking the hunter team.

Therefore, the old man's attitude towards Wang Yao was quite enthusiastic.

"Since we are here, Mr. Caesar, please help me with the trainer registration!"

Wang Yao took the opportunity to suggest.

"This... is also possible..."

Caesar frowned and wanted to introduce the rules of conquering the monsters in the park.

"Don't worry, I know the rules of the Wild Area - you can only use special Poké Balls and fishing rods, and you can't engage in Pokémon battles!"

Wang Yao still has some impression of the first half of the original animation.

"In that case... then there is no problem."

Caesar's frown gradually relaxed. After all, he had the merit of combating poachers in front of him... He was still very confident in Wang Yao's character.

After registering Wang Yao's trainer ID, Caesar took out a wooden box with a handle from behind the counter, which contained thirty Poké Balls and a fishing rod.

Basically, the entrance fee is 500 Pokémon...almost the same price as a meal of curry.

Even these Poké Balls are given away for free, and only those that cannot be used up need to be returned...

Being able to become a trainer at such a low cost might surprise those kids who fantasize about the rare opportunity to capture Pokémon.

Why do poachers still appear in a place where people are paid to catch Pokémon in order to regulate the Pokémon population in the park?

Of course it’s because of the [conservation plan] mentioned earlier!

The objects that can be captured by these [Wild Balls] are all set in advance. Signal transmitters are implanted in the bodies of the protected species in the park. At this time, the Poké Balls will automatically identify them and cannot be captured.

Trainers who come here can only catch Pokémon that are not on the conservation list.

Of course - the wilderness area is a wild area after all, and occasionally there will be Pokémon of the same species as the conservation target, or even rarer... but Pokémon that are not recorded in the database will appear in the wilderness area. They don't have signal transmitters installed on them, so they can still be captured.

The poachers come here mostly for the rare Pokémon on the conservation list...the other common Pokémon they catch are just extras!

……

"No need for the fishing rod, just give me the Poké Ball."

Wang Yao had no intention of fishing for Dratini or Haxorus in the wild area.

It would be a miracle if this thing could really be caught with a fishing rod...

"Well... in that case, I'll give you some more Poké Balls!"

Mr. Caesar unconsciously smiled and began to admire the young man in front of him.

He took out ten more wild balls and put them into the wooden box, then Caesar handed all the equipment to Wang Yao.

"Thank you!"

Wang Yao took the wooden box, thanked him, and walked into the wilderness area with Junsha, heading straight for the fence on the west side of the park.

I have already wasted a lot of time today. Let me find the director's dentures first...

Even for a Catdog that can detect scents...it would be difficult to find a pair of palm-sized dentures hidden in the dense weeds.

Junsha and Wang Yao could only take their Caterpillar to laboriously search an area of ​​several dozen meters in radius near the fence.

"Arbok - you come out and look for it too!"

In this overgrown wasteland, Arbok is still the most mobile.

Generally speaking, Pokémon are not allowed to be released in the wild area, but Wang Yao and Junsha have reported their actions to Caesar, the administrator, in advance.

"Crack~~"

After hearing the description, Arbok dived into the waist-high weeds.

The sturdy snake body pushed aside the lush weeds and pressed a passage through them.

"You go left, I go right! Growlithe and Arbok are looking for the center from the outside!"

Wang Yao and Jun Sha quickly divided up the search area.

……

Another half an hour passed...lunch time was getting closer.

……

Looking at the completely cleared small area around him, Wang Yao finally asked the giant crab to come out and trim the weeds.

Unexpectedly, after just two attempts, I found this pair of gold dentures half embedded in the mud.

"——Are they really a pair of gold dentures?"

Wang Yao picked up the denture that was slightly covered in dirt and weighed it curiously in his hand.

"It seems to be lighter than pure gold..."

Wang Yao muttered.

However, due to the hardness of pure gold, it cannot be used to make dentures. Wang Yao speculated that this should be a gold alloy or gold-plated denture.

"Have you found it—Ayao?"

Junsha straightened her back tiredly and half of her body emerged from the bushes about ten meters behind Wang Yao.

"right here!"

Wang Yao raised his gold dentures and waved them at Joey.

"Oh (′o｀*)——That's great!"

Junsha wiped the sweat off her head, only to find that her pair of white gloves had turned into mud gloves...

"Let's return the dentures to the headmaster without further ado!"

Junsha sighed and said with some relief.

"Come here! Katie!"

Junsha called back Katie and picked up a handful of weeds to brush off the dust on its fur.

"Wang~"

But the effect is not very good... I guess after returning the gold dentures, Junsha will have to take her Catwoman back to the police station to take a bath.

"Ah... Miss Chiemi, I'll leave the dentures to the director... I want to spend more time in the wilderness..."

The boring search naturally requires communication, and Wang Yao also learned that the full name of Junsha in Qianhong City is Junsha Qianhuimei...

Unlike her serious and capable personality, the name Chiemi seems very elegant.

"...You should take Caterpie back first."

Wang Yao was not in a hurry to leave. He planned to see if there were any Pokémon worth capturing in the wild area.

"Well then - oh... I didn't expect it would take so long to find it..."

Without caring about so many details, Junsha, who was anxious to clean the dirt all over her body, left first with the Katie and returned the dentures to the home of Director Baoba.
