Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Moo~"

Kentaro ran happily on the bridge.

After all, it is a cross-sea bridge, and even the bicycle passage is more than ten meters wide.

There is no feeling of being cramped when running.

"At this rate, we will soon be able to cross the bridge and reach Sunshine Town..."

Wang Yao's plan was not to stay in Yangguang Town, but to hurry as far as possible before dark, and it would be best if he could find a park in Yuhong City to spend the night.

The reason why it was a park instead of a Pokémon Center... was because Wang Yao didn't want to waste an invitation ticket.

After a short rest in Yuhong City, he can cross the mountains and reach Shenhui City directly.

Then I got the fossilized pterosaur egg I had been dreaming about...

"Hey—that cowboy over there!"

"Please wait!"

"Wait for us--!"

Just as Wang Yao was on his way, he suddenly heard the voices of a group of people behind him trying to keep him.

"Ouch! Kentaro, stop for a moment..."

Wang Yao stopped the running Kentaro, turned around and waited for the crowd chasing him.

“Hoo! Hoo! Finally…finally caught up!”

A poorly dressed green-haired girl got off the bicycle panting and held on to the handlebars to regain her strength.

"My bicycle is about to produce sparks! As expected of Kentaro... He can run so fast!"

Another bad boy whose hairstyle looked like lush red grass also panted with his tongue hanging out.

Following closely behind was a group of bad boys and girls riding bicycles...

"You stopped me, what's the matter?"

This group of people look like middle school students, and they are bad boys riding bicycles...

Wang Yao seemed to have some impression of this.

"Please forgive our rudeness!"

"That's so cool - because the way you ride Kentaro through the streets is so cool!"

The two bad boys and girls, one in red and one in green, looked at Wang Yao and Kentaro under him with longing.

If riding a bicycle is an imitation of riding a motorcycle... then riding a Kentaro is a complete transcendence of riding a motorcycle!

"Cowboy-senpai—my name is Misa!"

The green-haired girl introduced herself.

"I'm Martha!"

The red-haired boy followed up with the introduction.

"Possessing agile skills and a passionate soul!"

“Chasing freedom – blooming youth on wheels!”

"We are - the bike racers!"

The two shouted slogans at the same time and rode their respective bicycles to perform signature moves.

Their movements were the same as the decorations on their bicycles. The lightning bird shaped decoration on the front of Martha's bicycle made a flying movement.

The front of Misa's bicycle was a spiny shell, and she used both hands to imitate the movement of opening and closing the shell on her head.

"Great... Oh! As expected of the two bosses, Martha and Misa!"

"Yeah...it's so easy to do the shameful actions that we dare not complete!"

The other cyclists followed suit and made a commotion.

"..."

The corner of Wang Yao's eye twitched.

Should we say that these two people are truly the fans of Musashi and Kojiro...even their personalities are similar.

But speaking of which...it's a good opportunity to ask the real protagonist about their whereabouts.

After all, I had never heard of the new duo in Team Rocket before.

"So, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Wang Yao asked curiously.

"Of course I do!"

"I'm counting on you! Brother Cowboy - please have a Pokémon battle with us!"

Misa and Martha requested together.

"I see... I didn't expect you guys to be so motivated."

Wang Yao stretched out his index finger and scratched his cheek, saying with some distress.

He is a man who is in a hurry.

“——Please!”

"Please agree to our request!"

Misa and Martha looked at each other with pitiful eyes like kittens.

"Okay...but my time is limited, so I can only play two games!"

After all, he still wanted to find out the whereabouts of the protagonist, and the fight-hungry looks in these two people's eyes were too hard to refuse... Wang Yao had no choice but to delay for a while.

"awesome!"

"Thank you very much for your advice!"

Both parties came to the resting area reserved on the bridge.

This is a small semicircular square protruding from the bridge deck, with several benches for cyclists to rest and beverage vending machines.

"I'll take the first game!"

The red-haired Masha took out the Poké Ball first.

"Go ahead—Rumblestone!"

Boom——!

As the evolved form of Geodude, Rhydon's appearance is more like a large, uneven rock.

However, the four extra arms make it unique.

"It's actually a rumble stone..."

The opponent didn’t take out Rattata or Butterfree... This surprised Wang Yao.

"So, here I am..."

Because Kentaro and Charmander were carrying luggage, Wang Yao had to use the other Pokémon he was carrying to fight.

"Giant Claw Crab! It's decided to be you!"

"Guji~"

The giant crab appeared on the bridge with its claws raised high.

"Go! Rumble Stone! Use your best rolling attack!"

cried Martha passionately.

Rumble——!

The four arms of the Rumbling Stone wrapped around its body and rolled rapidly around the small square.

"Crab Fist!"

Facing such an opponent, Wang Yao's giant crab's fighting method was very simple.

boom--!

The crab fist swung from bottom to top, sending the high-speed rolling rumbling stone hammer flying into the sky.

Due to the huge difference in level... Longlongshi, who was still in the air, had already loosened his arms unconsciously, and his eyes were turning red.

Even with its excellent defense, under the extreme restraint of its attributes, Rumble Stone was still killed instantly by Crab Fist...

"Take it, and be careful not to break the ground."

Wang Yao felt that the Rumbling Stone flew too high... If it fell down like this, it might damage the tiles on the square.

“Guji——!”

The giant crab's four legs bounced off the ground, and it jumped into the air. Its claws firmly clamped Rumblestone's arm, and then it landed on the ground while spinning its body.

The moment it touches the ground, the four crab legs act like springs to relieve the force of falling.

"Guji~"

Slowly placing the Rhodonite in its clamp on the ground, the Giant Claw Crab blew bubbles with a calm expression.
