Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Ayao, are you okay?"

Seeing Wang Yao return to normal, Dr. Oak looked at the circle of teeth marks on Wang Yao's forehead with some fear and asked.

Luckily, this guy's skin is thick enough... the sharp teeth of the nut shell only slightly pierced the skin.

"Not bad... This hat really can improve my intelligence. Wearing it reminds me of some things I had forgotten before..."

Wang Yao also rubbed his aching head and said.

"But I also feel like my mind is empty... A lot of strange ideas keep popping up in my head, and I can't control them at all!"

After saying that, Wang Yao raised his hand angrily and knocked on the nut in King Daidai's arms.

This guy seems unwilling to be just a hat. How could such a righteous man like him come up with so many bad ideas to conquer the world!

It must be the evil Shellder who did it!

You kid - do you want to control the trainer!

The Shellder that evolved into a Screwcap blinked innocently.

Unlike their fellow tribesmen in the Galar region...

The Shellder in the Kanto region only instinctively secretes venom that can stimulate brain thinking, and cannot control the thoughts of Slowking or Wang Yao.

"It was your stupidity that saved you from this state!"

"...It seems that we underestimated Daidai's abilities before."

After this episode, Professor Oak felt that he needed to re-evaluate Wang Yao's Slow King.

Resisting the wisdom brought by evolution may not be an escape...but its unique and wise choice.

"It feels so cool - can I try it on, too?"

Compared to Slowking, Xiaozhi on the side is more interested in the Screwcap.

"Hey, Xiaozhi, please stop causing trouble for everyone..."

Professor Oak stopped Xiaozhi from taking the nut shell cap speechlessly.

Even the always reliable A Yao was controlled by Shellder's toxins. Who knows what kind of troubles an immature child like Xiaozhi will get into...

"Okay, Ayao, please put Daidai and the others away for now..."

Professor Oak was afraid that someone would curiously put the nut shell hat on their head.

He also did not try to experience the magical effect of the nut shell cap...

As a senior Pokémon researcher, Professor Oak instinctively resists the "wisdom" brought by this external object.

Besides, the nut cannot bring knowledge out of thin air, it just accelerates the brain's thinking.

The more I think, the more unsolved mysteries that bother me in my head...

"——After you go back, you must take good care of the Shellder!"

Wang Yao touched the Dai Dai King's head.

"Yadong~"

King Daidai looked at Wang Yao and nodded.

biu——!

Wang Yao took the "two" Pokémon back into the Poké Ball together.

He will send Slowking back to his mother...

Maybe it has become smarter after evolution, but SlowKing is still the "slow" little marsupial dragon of its mother, except that this time it has an extra mouth to feed...

The evolution experiment of Slowking has come to an end for the time being...

Professor Oak and Professor Nishinomori are applying to the League for a new Slowpoke for evolutionary research.

With no more good shows to watch, Xiaozhi and Xiaomao also took the giant crab and Pidgeot to build a sand castle together...

As for Wang Yao...

"It should be here, right?"

By asking the surfing enthusiasts on the beach, Wang Yao learned the address of surfing master Minchuan Te at the beach in Binu City.

A wooden hut, probably not even a few meters from the base, was built on the edge of a cliff near the sea...

Wang Yao didn't know whether this was the confidence unique to surfing masters.

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

Wang Yao knocked on the door.

"who is it?"

Probably because there were no big waves worth showing off his skills today, Minchuan opened the door wearing home clothes.

"Pica~"

Also welcoming Wang Yao was a Pikachu with blue eyes.

From the slightly messy hair on its body and the lack of energy in its voice, Wang Yao could tell that this Pikachu was already quite old.

"Mr. Minchuante? My name is Ayao - I have a message from my grandfather for you!"

Wang Yao said straight to the point.

"Mr. Jiang? Do you know news about him?!"

Min Chuan excitedly hugged Wang Yao's shoulders.

He hasn't heard from Mr. Jiang for many years!

……

Forty years ago, legendary surfer A Jiang successfully challenged a huge wave called "Big Tuesday"...

He gave the surfboard he was using to Toshikawa Te, who was about the same age as Xiaozhi at the time.

He only left one sentence - it will be your turn next time!

Ajiang went on a sea trip alone.

……

After learning about his grandfather's glorious deeds from Mr. Minchuan Te, who was nearly fifty years old, Wang Yao also told him the message he had previously forgotten.

"It turns out that old man really wasn't bragging..."

After listening to Min Chuan Te's description with emotion, Wang Yao muttered to himself.

"Yeli Island? I remember it."

There is still at least half a year until the Big Tuesday which comes once every twenty years, so Minchuan Te has plenty of time to go to Yeli Island to meet his idol.

And if Yeli Island also has waves that Mr. Jiang thinks are very good, it would be a good idea to use it as a warm-up activity for challenging Big Tuesday.

"I really don't know how to thank you, Ayao, for bringing me the information about Mr. Ajiang..."

Min Chuan Te has been pursuing the limits of surfing all his life. Apart from two surfboards in his house, he has no other gifts to give back to Wang Yao.

"How about...staying for lunch at noon?"

In desperation, Min Chuan Te invited Wang Yao to have lunch somewhat embarrassedly.

"That's not necessary..."

The other party didn't seem to be a good cook, so Wang Yao decisively rejected Min Chuan Te's invitation to lunch.

However, he thought of Kenji's family who were also on Nori Island.

"If you're going to Nori Island...why don't you bring me a gift for a young man named Kenji."

"His family runs a surf house on the island, and he has a very good relationship with Grandpa Jiang."

Half a year has passed, and Wang Yao still doesn't know whether Jianzhi has gone out to sea.

And there’s not even a phone on Yeli Island…it’s a bit troublesome to contact the other party.

"They probably haven't set out to sea yet... After all, Shizuka hasn't met any new trainers from Nori Island."

Wang Yao pondered for a while and thought that if Jianzhi went out to sea, his first stop should also be Vermilion Leaf City...

I lied about my relatives in Vermilion City, and the other party will most likely try to contact me through Shizuka at the Pokémon Center.

"…Then what should I give you?"

After all, Kenji was the first human he met after returning to the civilized world.

And we get along pretty well. He can be called my first friend after traveling through time...

But after Wang Yao thought about it for a long time, he also encountered the same dilemma as Min Chuan...

It seemed like he didn't have any gift to give to Kenji.
