Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Are there still special ninja schools now?"

Wang Yao asked curiously.

"The Ninja Academy is located deep in the mountains south of Crimson City. It is an academy established to help Pokémon and trainers acquire ninja-like fighting skills."

“…and outsiders are not prohibited from visiting.”

"Ayao, if you are interested, you can go check on Xingzi's learning progress for me."

When it comes to her daughter, Aju's attitude becomes a little more enthusiastic.

"Well...if you have time, you can go and have a look."

Wang Yao is not interested in ninjutsu or anything like that.

And the ninjutsu of the Pokémon world...

I guess it's just some shadow clone and stand transformation skills... as well as [attribute ninjutsu] like water gun and flame jet.

Then before using any skills, just shout out [Water Escape] or [Fire Escape].

Only kids would yell at each other when they were fighting... Wang Yao couldn't learn that anyway.

But he was not in a hurry to continue his journey... After all, Wang Yao had teleported the Tyrannosaurus Rex that had learned super strength back to the ranch last night.

By the way, he also asked Uncle Enniton to prepare a batch of cheap and good-looking polished metal ingots as betrothal gifts, and asked the Tyrannosaurus Rex to take them to please Miss Boscodorra.

It’s a pity that Steelix and the other party are not from the same group... otherwise Wang Yao would have to prepare a backup plan.

……

It was already past eleven when they came out of the Crimson Gym. Apart from a few awkward conversations with Wang Yao at the beginning, Ah Ju fell silent afterwards.

Soon, he planned to send Wang Yao away on the pretext that "I need to practice ninjutsu and cannot entertain guests."

However, Wang Yao shamelessly kept him in the gym with the words, "Ah! Ninjutsu! Let me see it? It's okay...just practice yours, don't worry about me."

So Wang Yao watched Ah Ju throwing darts at the wooden stake for two hours.

……

at noon.

Wang Yao, who was eating onion curry rice in the Pokémon Center, suddenly received a call from the Pokémon Center in Deep Gray City.

"—Moshi Moshi?"

Because they were still eating, Wang Yao took off his watch and placed it on the table.

"Ayao! It's me—Xiaogang!"

A face as solid as a rock appeared on the screen.

"Chew Chew - long time no see~ Xiao Gang! What do you want from me?"

Wang Yao scooped another spoonful of rice mixed with curry soup and chewed it in his mouth.

"What? - So you forgot! You've been invited to the opening ceremony of the Pipi Cultural Center to cut the ribbon!"

Xiaogang complained helplessly, holding his forehead.

"It's next Tuesday, you should be able to make it back, right?"

"Forehead……"

Wang Yao had indeed forgotten... Actually, his Picosi is still in the tribe.

"I won't do that at the opening ceremony..."

Wang Yao instinctively wanted to refuse this cumbersome ribbon-cutting ceremony.

And time is a bit tight, after all, today is Friday.

"By the way - the first batch of fossilized pterosaur eggs have been delivered to the gym. There are eight in total... You can come and pick one if you have time."

Xiaogang then added another sentence.

"——I will be there on time!"

Wang Yao likes cutting the ribbon for the cultural center the most, not for any other reason... just to have a good time.

"That's good... Also, Hiroki and Ishiya have made great progress during this period...

"Besides, because...our gym's rating in the league magazine also...you have contributed to it!"

Xiaogang hadn't seen Wang Yao for a month, so he took the opportunity to share with him some of his experiences and changes during that time.

"Uh-huh……"

"That's very good……"

Wang Yao ate curry rice and listened to Xiao Gang introducing his daily life and the changes in the gym.

On the one hand, with Wu Neng's return and the help of two new apprentices, Xiao Gang's pressure was much less.

Moreover, the popularity of the fossilized pterosaur eggs brought by the advance publicity, as well as the additional funding subsidies after the gym's rating increased...

All in all – the Dark Gray Gym is thriving.

……

It took Wang Yao more than an hour to eat and chat...

That means the Deep Gray Gym hasn't installed a videophone yet, otherwise I don't know how long Xiao Gang would have to talk...

"We have to get to Deep Gray City within three days..."

Wang Yao took out a map book and pondered the route.

"It seems that we must go through that cross-sea bridge..."

If you are walking, the best route is to cross the sea directly from the bridge to Sunshine Town on the other side.

Going north, you will reach Yuhong City...

Yuhong City is very close to Shenhui City. Just go northwest and cross one or two mountains to reach Shenhui City.

But it is still a bit tiring to travel like this, which is somewhat inconsistent with Wang Yao's usual leisurely style of travel.

"Looks like I need a proper mount Pokémon..."

Wang Yao was wondering whether it would be better to ask Professor Oak to send a Kentaro over, or whether it would be more appropriate to choose an armored rhino...

"In fact, if the little fire horse can evolve...it will be the best mount."

Wang Yao shook his head... After all, the little fire horse is still too young. Although he trains hard every day, he still needs time to grow.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yao decided to ask Professor Oak to bring back a Kentaro.

After all, the armored rhinoceros is too clumsy and the direction of its charge is difficult to control.

What if they accidentally crashed into the guardrail of the newly built bridge and fell into the sea with Wang Yao on board...that would be bad luck.

In comparison, Kentaro is much smarter and more reliable.

"Dudududu——!"

Wang Yao used the Pokémon Center's phone to call the Oak Research Institute.

"This is the Oak Research Institute, I'm Oak...Excuse me-Ayao!"

Probably after lunch, the two children went back to the room to sleep, and it was Professor Oak who answered the phone.

"Ayao! Why are you calling me now!?"

"Um, the watch is out of battery, and I was doing special training in the wild... so..."

Wang Yao blamed the equipment.

"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about this - Haxlon hasn't returned to the research institute for a whole day and a night since he took Mienshao away!"

Professor Oak sighed helplessly and then asked.

"Ayao, what's up with this Hakron you brought back?!"

"Oh! Mienshao... It's like this... Where I found Dratini, there is also a Mienshao skeleton..."

Wang Yao described the story he had prepared in advance in an orderly manner.

"…Just when the Dratini was about to hatch, due to the hunter's attack…the mother Haxorus said goodbye to her dying husband, the Milotic…"

"...So that's why! Seeing something reminds me of my past!"

"Yes, that's right... When Haxoron saw Milotic, it was like seeing Dratini's father come back to life..."

Wang Yao tells a touching story about love, family, and the Pokémon Protection Act.

This story is perfect...and versatile.

After all, no matter which lucky guest Hakron chooses... he can fit in perfectly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After hearing this touching story, Dr. Oak couldn't help but shed tears.

"——To think there is such a thing... I am so moved by the feelings of the Pokémon..."

So this is the truth behind Haxlon's elopement with Milotic! He had wrongly accused her!

"What?"

The mini dragon that Professor Oak showed to him in a fish tank tilted its head in confusion.

So it shouldn’t be talking about itself and its mother… After all, there are no skeletons in the lake, and its father is a Pokémon with wings!
