Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Isn't this also the case with Magikarp's evolution?"

"…Speaking of which, how is your Magikarp breeding ground going?"

After taking a shower, Wang Yaogang lazily lay on the sofa in Xiaogang's house, watching the giant crab and the cowardly bug playing horse riding games with Xiaogang's children outside the house.

"That would be great, of course!"

Xiaozhi raised his head and boasted.

"How dare you say that... My Magikarp is obviously superior in terms of both speed and strength!"

Xiao Mao bluntly exposed Xiaozhi's big talk.

"That's only temporary! In terms of fighting spirit, my Magikarp can definitely beat you!"

Xiaozhi clenched his fist and said in a firm tone.

"It's also very difficult to evolve Magikarp, but once it evolves into Gyarados it will become super powerful."

Wang Yao stood up and took out a bottle of juice soda from Xiaogang's refrigerator.

Crack!

Pull the ring open and take a sip.

"Ha~"

It feels great to have an ice cold drink after a shower!

This is the life of modern people!

Wang Yao lay back on the sofa in a happy mood.

"Although daily training is necessary, don't forget to cultivate feelings... When Magikarp turns into Gyarados, his personality will also become more violent."

"If the usual affection is not enough, it may attack the trainer!"

After taking another sip of the juice soda, Wang Yao reminded the two.

After all, Xiaozhi couldn't even tame Charizard in the early days. Of course, this is also quite strange...

Wasn't he very cute when he was a Charmander? Why did he become rebellious after evolving?

"That's possible... But I took good care of Magikarp, so it shouldn't happen, right?"

Xiaozhi scratched his cheek somewhat unconfidently.

"Xiaozhi, you don't think that feeding rice balls every day is taking good care of Magikarp, right?"

Xiao Mao said to Xiaozhi with a disdainful tone.

"I fly in the finest food from Golden City once a week to feed Magikarp!"

"I also massage the tail muscles and scrub the scales—I do everything myself!"

Xiao Mao put his hands on his hips, leaned back tactically, and looked quite confident.

"Ah... Xiao Mao, you actually did so much behind my back?"

Xiaozhi had no idea that his rival was secretly so ambitious!

"But I don't just feed the rice balls. I also feed half of the croquettes and deep-fried pork cutlets that my mother only makes once every few days to Magikarp."

Ash retorted.

Just massaging the tail muscles and scrubbing the scales... He really hadn't paid attention to this before, so it seems he'll have to make up for it later!

We must not let Xiaomao run away alone!

And his Magikarp will definitely be the first one to evolve!

……

The leisure time in the afternoon passed quickly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye!

"Come on! Everyone, please taste my cooking!"

Although the dishes for dinner were purchased by Aunt Hanako, Xiaogang still firmly grasped the position of chef for dinner after insisting on his arguments.

"My brother's cooking skills are great!"

Jiro will naturally speak up for Xiaogang.

"That's right! The dishes made by Gym Master Xiaogang are very delicious~"

Guangshu and Ishiya, who were out for training, also rushed back in time for dinner.

The two of them have been apprentices at the Deep Gray Gym for some time now, and are not expected to participate in the Quartz Conference this year.

Xiaogang said that two of the first batch of fossil pterosaur eggs will be reserved for them.

It is estimated that they will have to wait until the fossil pterosaur eggs hatch... and after Monkey King and Nidorino evolve one after another, Hiroki and Ishiya will "graduate" from the Dark Gray Gym and start their journey as trainers again.

Judging from the time, he might become a competitor of Xiaozhi and Xiaomao in the same class...

Because there were a lot more people this time than when Wang Yao came last time, the original large dining table could no longer accommodate everyone, so a small table was temporarily put together.

"It smells so good! Xiaogang, your cooking skills have improved again!"

Wang Yao opened the lid and smelled the aroma from the stew pot.

"The main courses include braised lamb and fried fish fillet... and seafood mushroom soup!"

Because there were too many people dining and the table was too big, Xiaogang's family had always practiced separate dining, with three or four bowls and plates placed in front of each person.

"We have pasta and rice...if you want something lighter, we have porridge to go with it."

Xiaogang was wearing an apron and holding prepared dishes in his hands, constantly flashing between the kitchen and the dining room.

"Xiaogang, your cooking skills are really good..."

Although Hanako was not the main chef, she helped Xiaogang and prepared some side dishes.

She was very satisfied with this young man who worked hard and meticulously.

I wish Xiaozhi could become this reliable.

Thinking of this...Hanako couldn't help but worry about Xiaozhi's future of traveling alone next year.

If she could have a mature and reliable older brother like Xiaogang to take care of her companions, she would feel a lot more at ease.

……

Today's dinner is probably the most sumptuous one Xiaogang's family has had in recent years.

Xiaogang's family dinner was already comparable to the size of an ordinary dinner party, and with the addition of Wang Yao and Professor Oak's group, it became even more lively.

During this time, Professor Oak and Takenō were drunk. Professor Oak grabbed Takenō and kept introducing his experience in creating the Pokémon Kawase...

Wu Neng also drunkenly talked to Professor Oak about the power of rock-type Pokémon...

In the end, it becomes a competition between two people... to see who can create the better Rock-type Pokémon, Sawada!

The two drunk people were carried by Wang Yao and Xiao Gang to a room on the second floor to rest... I don't know if they can get up on time to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow.

……

The next morning, Wang Yao and his group arrived at the crowded entrance of Pipi Cultural Center.

In addition to Pippi and the discoverer of the Moon Stone, many prominent figures from Kanto and Johto were also invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Even Master Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, came to the scene.

"I didn't expect you could still get up, Professor Oak..."

Wang Yao looked at the energetic Dr. Oak with curiosity.

Otherwise, how can we say that the other party can become a doctor...

Not only did he wake up early, he also took the time to take a shower and change into a new white coat... and finally he even had breakfast with Wang Yao.

The other uncle Wu Neng, who was also drunk, had just gotten up...and it would take a while for him to get here.

"This is a magical ability that only adults can possess. Yao, you may be a great trainer, but you haven't grown enough as a man yet!"

Professor Oak still had the energy to joke with Wang Yao.

"I'm not really looking forward to this kind of ability... I only drink beverages."

Wang Yao never liked drinking.

Originally, Wang Yao’s favorite drink was Coke, but after arriving in the Pokémon world, what he drank the most was iced fruit juice of various flavors.

"Yes, yes! Juice is still the best!"

Xiaozhi also thinks that sweet juice tastes the best.

As for the beer and the sake that Professor Oak and the others drank last night... he had secretly tasted them, but they both tasted bitter and astringent, and he had no idea why anyone would like to drink them.
