Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

After taming Shellder, Wang Yao continued to follow Arbok's scent and came to a large natural lake surrounded by valleys.

There are many white pointed cone stone pillars in the lake. The water is crystal clear and the waves stirred by the breeze shine brightly in the morning sunshine.

“Even the style of painting in this place is different…”

Wang Yao looked at the scenery of the lake and felt speechless.

The entire wilderness area is covered with lush forests and grasslands, and several other ponds are also surrounded by shrubs.

The only difference is that the terrain here is bare land, with only a group of rocky mountains surrounding the lake. It looks like a map where BOSSes will spawn.

"…Is old man Caesar afraid that others don't know there is a mini dragon here?"

However, Wang Yao has no interest in taming Dratini. By the time this thing evolves into Dragonite, it might take twenty years!

The higher-level Haxorus mother has obviously been bewitched by old man Caesar...Don't even think about forcibly capturing this kind of bound Pokémon.

If you want to capture Dragonite, you can just ask Professor Oak for help after you get familiar with him... It seems that the Dragonites have a mysterious Dragon Island.

Although he missed many works, Wang Yao had seen Xiaozhi's final winning lineup, and it seemed that the Dragonite in it was caught in that place.

With love and justice, he persuaded Professor Oak's Dragonite to take him to Dragon Island, where he captured dozens of Dragonites and brought them back for breeding...

Then introduce coconut trees from the Alola region, transplant apple trees from the Galar region, and purchase motorcycles from the Padia region - all of this will solve the long-standing problem of using dragons, encountering dragons, and catching dragons in the Kanto region!

A certain flying-type king no longer has to use Dragonite to make up the numbers! He can now openly bring out his ace Pokémon, Pidgeot, which has been hiding behind the scenes!

……

Wang Yao walked to the lake, bent down, scooped up a handful of water and washed his hands.

He was covered in mud when he was looking for dentures, and now it has dried and stuck to his body, forming a layer of yellowish mud shell.

After washing my hands, I thought about washing my feet...

But just after taking off his shoes, Wang Yao changed his mind - since he was here, he might as well take a shower.

Taking off his coat and trousers and wearing only his underwear, Wang Yao tentatively stepped into the water.

It is summer now, and after a morning of sun exposure, the temperature of the lake water is not low.

Wow~

After rubbing the mud off his body, the lake water around Wang Yao was instantly covered with a layer of mud.

“Hoo—ha—!”

After taking a deep breath, Wang Yao closed his eyes and dived into the water. With a splash, he reappeared on the surface of the water three meters away.

"ha--!"

After taking a breath, Wang Yao paddled with both hands and quickly climbed back to the shore by holding on to a stone spike protruding from the water.

“It’s much cooler!”

Take out the clothes that were just soaked in water and hang them on the stone cone to dry.

"Why not just not go back at noon...it's nice to take a nap here."

Wang Yao lay on the smooth rock, basking in the sun leisurely.

"Why does it seem like there's no surveillance in this valley..."

Wang Yao glanced around the valley. Since there were smooth rock walls all around, if it was ordinary surveillance in the park, it would be very conspicuous.

Could it be that old man Caesar is thinking in reverse?

Ordinary poachers must think that the mini dragon is hiding in the center of the wilderness area, which is the most heavily guarded and full of surveillance and patrols...

No one would poach in this deserted valley.

...When you think about it this way, it seems quite reasonable.

"Hello--!"

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Wang Yao made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted towards the lake in front of him.

"——Is there a mini dragon here?!"

"——Hackron is fine too! Ms. Hackron, please bring the child out for a chat!"

The shouting sound echoed in the valley.

"If this were a cartoon... then it would be a sure thing."

Wang Yao lay down again, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the sparkling lake quietly.

After a few breaths, the lake was still calm.

"What a pity it's not... time to sleep! Good morning!"

Squinting his eyes, Wang Yao breathed evenly.

A few minutes later……

"Hey~"

"What~"

Two blue bald heads, one big and one small, emerged from the water.

Two pairs of big eyes were filled with confusion... I seemed to hear someone calling me just now...

Is it this human on the shore?

"What..."

The mini dragon swam to the shore curiously. It was very interested in the clothes Wang Yao hung on the stone.

“——I heard it!”

Wang Yao's eyes opened slightly, revealing the same sharp look as Xiaogang's.

"kisses!"

The frightened mini dragon dived and swam back to its mother.

Wang Yao slowly sat up from the ground and stretched.

"Hey! This is called professionalism!"

Wang Yao turned around and spoke to the non-existent audience.

Taking out his Pokédex, Wang Yao scanned the two Pokémon in front of him.

"Ding! Haxorus - Dragon Pokémon! It is the evolved form of Dratini, and after evolving it becomes Dragonite. Haxorus lives in the sea or lake. Although it has no wings, it can fly in the air."

"...it stores a huge amount of energy in its body, and can release that energy from the crystals in its neck and tail to change the weather around it."

Haxorus is a long snake-shaped Pokémon with a slender body. The part that is exposed above the water is more than two meters. Its body is covered with sapphire scales, its abdomen is bright white, and it has a white horn and two small feather wings on its head.

"As expected of a rare dragon Pokémon... It's pretty good-looking before it evolves, and it's very elegant."

Wang Yao commented and turned his illustrations to Dratini...

There was no need to worry about the other party running away, because Wang Yao didn't want to cultivate this kind of Pokémon that had not yet reached its full potential... Of course, there was a high probability that the mother and son in front of him could not be caught.

"Ding! Dratini - the Dragon Pokémon! It's full of life force, and its body will continue to grow as it sheds its skin repeatedly. Because there are very few witnesses, it was called a mythical Pokémon in the past."

Wang Yao took a look at the appearance of the Mini Dragon... Overall, it was just a smaller version of the Haxorus.

However, this one seems to be much smaller than the average body length in the illustration!

"No - how come your child is so small..."

Wang Yao took a look at the length of the mini dragon... when straightened, it was no more than one meter, which was quite different from the average length of 1.8 meters in the illustrated book.

The mini dragon grows by shedding its skin, and its growth rate is not slow. Its size growth will not slow down until it reaches the Haxorus stage.

This means that this little guy should have just hatched not long ago.

"…So who is the child's father?"

Wang Yao asked curiously.

First, let’s rule out Caesar.

"Hey..."

Haxoron raised his head and murmured in one direction.

"Um... does that mean the other party is no longer here?"

Based on the position of the sun, Wang Yao roughly estimated the direction of the Haxorus's cry.

After climbing over a few mountains... isn't there a sea in that direction?

"…Is it a one with wings this time?"

It can attract the favor of Haxorus and make it lay Pokémon eggs. It can also cross mountains and go to the sea. In all likelihood, it is a dragon Pokémon that can also fly.

"Another father of intangible cultural heritage..."
