Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Okay, anything else?"

Wang Yao asked the leader of the marsupial dragon.

The wild evolved Lada should still be quite capable. Wang Yao thought this was a good start.

"Mmm..."

The marsupial leader scratched his head belatedly.

Is this...solved?

You should count it!

Taking Wang Yao to the second marsupial dragon orphanage, this time the target is a caracara.

"I think this one was there when I captured it...it hasn't evolved yet?"

Wang Yao picked up the Caracalla and took a look. It was much smaller than the one in Zhaizang's collection.

"呣~"

[It is already three years old~]

The marsupial leader raised the only three claws on his right paw and said.

According to the habits of marsupials, three-year-old babies can live independently from their mothers.

"Three...does it mean three years old?"

Wang Yao asked doubtfully.

"Hmm!"

The marsupial dragon leader nodded.

"Three years old... doesn't seem that old~"

Wang Yao lifted Caracalla high up, and the little guy cried out with joy.

Wang Yao naturally didn't know the habits of the marsupial dragons. He usually looked at their size...

The Caracalla is less than half a meter tall, only half the size of a duck.

"Forget about this one... But you should also train more often so that you can evolve faster!"

Wang Yao knocked on Caracalla's bone mask and said.

[The Caracalla illustration says that the bones on the head are the skull of the dead mother, but this is too far-fetched. If it were true, the females of this species would die after giving birth to one cub, and with a one-to-one male-to-female ratio, they would soon become extinct...]

"Kara~"

Caracalla shook its paws that were suspended in the air after being picked up, looking full of energy.

"Cute~Eat more!"

Wang Yao stuffed the Caracara back into the mother dragon's pouch, touched its little head and said.

"Mmm..."

The marsupial leader sighed helplessly.

Well, this guy doesn't eat as much as that Rada...

After that, the leader of the marsupial dragon took Wang Yao to see Parast, Armstrong, Firefly, Sandshrew, Nidoran...

A few Pokémon with potential for battle were captured by Wang Yao, and the rest continued to be parasites in the pouch...

The other part of the useless and lazy guys... were cutely teleported to the Pipi Cultural Center in Deep Gray City to sell their bodies.

The ugly ones are packed up and sent to the Tokiwa Gym to boost sales.

The Omu family doesn't have any surplus food.

These guys have eaten so much feed, it’s time for them to go to work and pay off their debts!

After all the busy work, Mr. Wang finally helped the bag dragon leader to put his worries to rest.

After that, Wang Yao visited the Duduli couple who laid three eggs in one litter, and the Minas couple who lived in the big lake behind the mountain.

Probably by the beginning of next year, Mini Dragon will be able to become a big brother.

……

By the time we finished touring the back mountain, it was already dark.

With the help of the bright moonlight, Wang Yao finally returned to the institute in the dark to have dinner.

"Instant noodles again, Doctor, you don't know how to eat something delicious..."

Wang Yao heated the water again, made the dough, and covered it with the book.

While waiting for the dough to soften for a few minutes, Wang Yao reached out and played with the mini dragon kept in the transparent fish tank.

"What~"

The mini dragon swam around Wang Yao's hand, rubbing its body against Wang Yao's fingertips from time to time.

"You don't expect me to cook a luxurious meal..."

Professor Oak had already finished his dinner and was currently sitting on the couch watching the detective show he had been following recently.

"What kind of drama is this - The Great Detective Slowpoke?"

Wang Yao sat down next to Professor Oak, holding a measuring cup of instant noodles.

"Pfft~"

Wang Yao almost laughed out loud when he saw the title of the play in the corner of the screen.

"Is Detective Slowpoke here?"

"Can that thing solve cases? You should evolve a little further!"

"Isn't Slowking a better detective than Slowpoke?"

Wang Yao used a fork to stir the dough and complained.

"You actually know the evolution of Slowpoke... That's rare."

Professor Oak looked at Wang Yao with some surprise.

"I thought you were only interested in Pokémon battles."

"Phew! Phew—even if you are the master of Pokémon classification, this is a bit hurtful~"

Wang Yao picked up a roll of instant noodles, blew on it near his mouth, and then said.

Interesting fact: Professor Oak's greatest contribution to academia was clarifying the attribute classification of Pokémon.

"Speaking of which, there's a Slowpoke among the Maresaurus group... When I have time to go to the beach, I plan to have him evolve into a Slowpoke."

Wang Yao's team needs a Pokémon with high IQ to raise the average.

"You're too confident! The probability of Slowpoke evolving into Slowking is less than one percent!"

Dr. Oak looked at Wang Yao in surprise.

Slurp~chew chew—gulp!

Wang Yao just swallowed a mouthful of instant noodles...it seemed like there wasn't enough time. Although instant noodles should have a hard core, some of them were obviously not yet soaked.

"Why would you need to be so confident? I have all the props ready - huh?!"

Wang Yao suddenly reacted...

Can I get another scientific research allowance?

"Has the evolutionary path of Slowpoke not been discovered yet?"

Wang Yao put down the instant noodles and asked tentatively.

"——I found it. Although the symbiotic evolution with Shellder is quite special, it was fully recorded by Pokémon Observers a long time ago."

Dr. Oak explained to Wang Yao.

"Ah - then why did you just say... there's only a one percent chance?"

Wang Yao asked somewhat disappointedly.

"That's of course because only a very small number of Slowpokes can evolve into Slowking!"

"--Even if the trainer intervenes directly and uses Shellder to bite its head to evolve it, when the light disappears, 99% of Slowpokes will still only evolve into Slowpokes."

[The evolution method of Slowpoke in this book is based on the plot of the animation. 】

It was rare that Wang Yao, with his dull mind, would ask such a professional question, and Dr. Oak was happy to answer his questions.

"So the academic community generally believes that only Slowpoke who is born with the [King's Qualifications] can evolve into Slowking."

Dr. Oak added.

"Hum hum!"

"Doctor - you have to apply for more research subsidies for me this time!"

Finally... after being despised as an illiterate for so long, Wang Yao can once again demonstrate his omniscience as a time traveler!

"Ayao...are you talking about you?"

Professor Oak pressed the pause button on the TV.

"That's right - I have the winning formula that will ensure Slowpoke evolves into Slowking with 100% certainty!"

Wang Yao raised his head and leaned his body against the back of the sofa.

Although he himself was not very sure, his childhood memories should not be wrong... probably!

"Are you sure? That's a great discovery!"

Professor Oak asked hurriedly.

Before I had time to study the Zapdos, this guy actually gave me another surprise!
