Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

One week after earning my qualification badge…

In the backyard of Oak Research Institute, Wang Yao was doing special training with Pokémon.

The reason why he appeared here...

Also because the tournament was approaching, the Tokiwa Gym no longer had any challengers and became quieter, so there was no need for an acting gym leader.

So Master A Yao successfully lost his job... and came to the Oak Research Institute to eat for free.

But A Yao is really good at eating for free!

……

"Hey - Ayao! Just let me study the Zapdos~"

Dr. Oak, who is usually steady, now sticks to Wang Yao like a child asking for candy.

As long as he can study Wang Yao's beloved Zapdos, let alone a few free meals... Professor Oak would be willing to even vacate his bed!

"——And why didn't you tell me earlier that you had captured Zapdos?"

Professor Oak complained.

"You didn't ask either?"

Wang Yao put his sunglasses into his jacket pocket, stood up from the recliner, and took a sip of iced watermelon juice.

Supervising the giant crabs doing special anti-electricity training under the shade of trees under the scorching sun made him exhausted!

"And I don't think this Zapdos is a very powerful Pokémon - you see it can't even beat Arbok."

Wang Yao pointed at the tough guy lying on the grass.

"Cha~bai~"

After shedding a layer of burnt snake skin, a brand new Arbok crawled out of the snake skin with its tongue spitting out.

[Hiss~ It doesn’t hurt~]

Arbok, who maxed out his durability because he was afraid of pain, said so.

"I think your Arbok is also worth studying..."

Professor Oak scratched his head and said.

"But Zapdos..."

But Arbok's appeal is obviously not as strong as that of the fat yellow-haired bird.

"I'm going to compete in the Quartz Conference with Zapdos..."

Wang Yao waved his hand and said.

"I'll lend it to you for research after the special training is over..."

Not only the Giant Claw Crab, but also the Zapdos needs special training, at least to lose weight~

When it landed, its belly was almost touching the ground... Whose Zapdos's special move is the belly ray!

If I had known, I shouldn't have eaten those thirty or so barbecue dinners at the Tokiwa Gym.

"The Quartz Conference... doesn't that mean we have to wait until half a month later?"

Look at the fat Zapdos right at your mouth, no - right next to you!

Professor Oak's heart felt as unbearable as if he was being scratched by a cat.

"Only half a month... By the way, aren't Xiaozhi and the others in town? It feels so quiet these past two days~"

Wang Yao stood up, stretched, and asked casually.

"Xiaozhi and Xiaomao, Hanako took them to the beach in Binu to escape the summer heat..."

"...I'll be gone for a whole week, and I won't be back until about three days later."

Professor Oak said, stroking his chin.

"Binu? I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before..."

Wang Yao fell into deep thought.

"Binoo City is just south of Pallet Town... The seaside scenery there is very nice~"

Professor Oak originally wanted to go with them, but unfortunately his current research project was not completed yet.

"Oh right! Your illustrated guide was given by Dr. Nishinomori, right? He lives in Binu!"

Professor Oak reminded.

"Ah—I remember now!"

Wang Yao slammed his palm and reacted.

However, I didn’t think of Dr. Nishino Mori, whom I had never met, but Mr. Jiang from Yeli Island!

He seemed to have said that he had a disciple in Binu, and asked me to bring a message for him...

But Wang Yao had forgotten everything - he could not recall either the disciple's name or the content of the message.

"It's better not to let me remember..."

Wang Yao blinked, then stared at the rippling pond and sighed.

This feeling of knowing that there is something you haven't done yet, but forgetting what that thing is... is so frustrating.

But it happened half a year ago anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I delay it for a few more days.

……

At least he got a date from Wang Yao, and Professor Oak continued to study the best breeding ecology of wild mini dragons with great anticipation.

After this paper is published, maybe we can build a large Dragonite breeding base in Kanto~

Suck!

After drinking the watermelon juice in one gulp, Wang Yao whistled at Kentaro...

"Moo~"

Kentaro stood up from the pond and shook off the water droplets on his body after getting ashore.

"Let's go to the back mountain and take a look..."

Wang Yao turned over and rode on Kentaro.

He planned to go to the back mountain to see if there were any Pokémon in the wild areas that he had captured before that were worth cultivating.

"Wang!"

Dalubi also ran to Kentaro's feet, wagging his short tail.

"You can come too - but you have to run on your own!"

Wang Yao looked down at the little black dog.

It’s not small... after all, this guy is more than half a meter tall.

Riding a cow and walking the dog, I came to the back mountain.

"No... what weird creature did these marsupial dragons adopt for me?"

Wang Yao saw the huge group of marsupial dragons at first sight.

It seems that he only tamed nine bag dragons?

Including the cubs in my pocket, there are only about thirty or so Pokémon...Now there seem to be a lot more small Pokémon that just eat and drink for free.

"Hey, eating~"

Wang Yao got off the cow, walked a few steps closer, and greeted the largest marsupial dragon.

"Hmm?"

Professor Oak's pouch dragon handed the fruit in his hand to the little pouch dragon to eat it by itself, and tilted its head towards Wang Yao.

After being captured from the wilderness, this group of marsupials lost their leader, so Professor Oak's marsupials consciously took on the role of leader.

With so many of its kind appearing all of a sudden, the marsupial dragon, which usually lives alone and takes care of its babies, is a little uncomfortable to adapt... But the little marsupial dragon is very happy to have a large group of friends.

[Original illustration: A small marsupial will leave its mother when it is about three years old. Thinking about it this way, the marsupial group that adopted Pichu might be the offspring of Professor Oak's marsupial.]

"Are there any kids who like to fight? I'll take them to train together."

Wang Yao is here to catch the kids again.

The Psyduck we had last time was very good. The duck that the mother Marsupial had raised for eight years was fat and beautiful... but it was a pity that it was snatched away by the big sister.

"Mmm..."

The leader of the Tasmanian Dragon thought for a while... There are indeed too many wild Pokémon in the tribe in the past month.

At first it tried to persuade them, but it didn't know what was wrong with these new marsupial dragons...it seemed that its motherly love was a little too excessive.

"呣~"

【Fromie~】

The marsupial dragon leader stood up from the ground and waved his claws at Wang Yao.

……

Arrived at the first marsupial dragon orphanage.

"Hmm! Hmm!"

[It was clearly a wild Lada living in the back hills before... I saw it at least five years ago! ]

The Marsupial leader pointed at a Rattata and said.

"Rada~ Rada Rada!"

[Ladah, don't leave the mother marsupial dragon. Ladah is the most adorable child of the mother marsupial dragon! ]

Rada put down the delicious fruit in his hand and wanted to get into the mother marsupial's pocket.

Unfortunately, due to its large size, only its head could fit in, while its body was still flapping at the mouth of the bag.

"You've evolved, but you're still sitting here doing nothing - I have to say something to you about that!"

Wang Yao put his hands on his hips, pointed at the mother marsupial dragon and Rada and scolded them.

"——Children must become independent when they grow up!"

As he spoke, Wang Yao took out a Poké Ball and pressed it on Rada's butt to capture it.

The process went very smoothly. Lada probably thought she had entered the pouch.

biu——!

After catching it, Wang Yao released Rattata again and threw the Poké Ball to the opponent.

"Take this ball and go to Professor Oak to register - we can eat for free in a dignified manner from now on!"

Wang Yao grabbed Lada’s ear and scolded him.

"Rada?"

Lada held his iron rice bowl with a pair of small paws, and turned his head to look at his dear mother marsupial dragon...

I didn't know how to decide for a moment.
